CHURCHES ~ AND Pouncs[ Preachers Discuss the Duty of Voters in the Coming Election. PARTY TIZS ARE NOT ALWAYS BINDING Ring Rule and Corruption by Corporation to Be Reslated—People Should Not Be Bilnded by Fietitions Issues—Pub- lle Evils Pointed Out. The first of a series of “good citizenship” meetings, under the auspices of the Clris tlan Endeavor socleties of the city at the Westminster Presuyterian church last evening. The aualence was made up from the socleties of the St. Mary's Avenue Con- gregational, Park Avenue United Presbyter fan, Deth-Eden Baptist, Hanssom Park Methodist and Westminster churches, and filled the auditorfum. The addresses were devoted to a general discussion of the quos- tlon In hand, with gpecific allusion to Jocal or state politi A prayer by Rev. Henderson of the Iurk Avenue church preceded a scripture realing by Rev. 8. Wright Butler. The congrega- tion united in song, after wnich Mr. J. J Burns was Introduced and spoke vigorouly for half an hour on the subject of the ever- ing. Mr. Burns prefaced his address by the statement that in these days everything was conducted on the commercial plan When a matter of public Interest was under discussion, It was not a question of whether it would be right, but of how mnuch money it would bring. The large cities of the country were controlled by rings and - bosses, who were in office for reveane ouly. They believed that to the victors belonged the spoils, and the spoils consisted of what- ever could be appropriated without getting into the penitentiary. The domination of corporations was alluded to with stinging force. The spaaker de- clared that the American people were hound in more abject slavery than the negroes of the south before the war, Taxation con- stantly grew heavier and the public service poorer as the corporations tightenud their grasp on the purse strings of the city, state and national governments. The speaker introduced figures tending to show how largely the increase in taxation exceeded the increase in population and said that in spite of this our cities were more poorly governed than ever. Valuable fran- chises were corruptly conveyed to corpora- tions, poor pavements predominated, the streets were disfigured and rendered unsafe by overhead wires, and sanitary measures were neglected. These influences had ex- tended to the state and national governments United States senators had been openly ac- cused of purchasing their seats in congress and the people seemed to take it all as a matter of course. Mr. Burns discussed tlon of population in the cities at some length and the consequent breeding of disease of body and soul in the densely habited slums. Then he proceeded 1o define in a general way {he duties of good citizens. He contended that those who would govern others must first learn to govern themselves, and they should not allow their inherent evil tendencles to corrupt their political life. It was the duty of every citi- zen to know for whom and for what he was voting. Fictitious issues were easily created by shrewd politicians to obscure the real fs- sues of the campalgn. To vote blindly was worse than criminal. It was simply b:coming a tool of the great corporations, and often resulted in doing Incalculable injury to the state. In conclusion it was urged that the voter ghould not be too tightly bound by party ties. The time had come when it Was nec essary to eliminate this false potion of voting the party ticket bl ndly in order to save the government from ring and corporation rule After a solo by Miss Frances Roeder, Rev T, J. Mickey was introduced and spoke upon the same subject. In cne respect he dif- fered slightly from the first speaker. It was his opinion that the era of good citizen- ship was to be brought about through the in- fluence of Christianity rather than by the attendance of the Christian people at the caucuses and primeries (o purify them by thelr example and personal attendance. It was a great mistake to divorce politics from religion. Preachers were told that they must not discuss politics from their pulpits, and it now required a geod deal of hirdihood for a clergyman to preach a political sermon. He belleved that it would be necessary to fight the battle out in the churches, and thst the real solution of the problem lay in a deter- mined effort to bring the world under reli- glous influences. was held no the concentra- - Repeated trials show that a single tea- spoonful of Dr. Price’s baking powder will g0 farther than two or more teaspoonfuls of any other. e MAJORS AND CORPORATIONS. Says He Has No Animosity Toward Them- s “Great Governor” Effort. “The members of the Sixth Ward Republi- can club rallied at Thirty-first and Ames avenue last evening to listen to aldrssses. W. R. Wilson occupied the chair and intro- Quced Harry Brome, Prof. Korty and T, J. Majors as the speakers. T. J, Majors spoke frst. In opeaing he said that he had no set speech, but wanted to talk like a great governor ought to talk with the people. He said that hg wanted to get acquainted with the people of the Sixth ward and let them see what kind of charac- ter they were going to elect as the vext governor of Nebraska, He then fold how he bad lived in the state for ‘hirty-ime years, and had by industry and frugality mccumulated enough of this world’s goods to keep the wolf from the door. The credit and standing of the commonwoalth must be malntained and could only be by clecting the republican ticket from top to bottom. 1% & populist governor were placed in the chair the credit of the state would be ruined. Majors said that be had always been a workingman and was In touch with «ll workmen, and that he would do what he could when elected to restore the prosperity of the state. In speaking about a popalist rule, Majors cited Kansas and Colorado as horfible examples, “I(," sald he, “‘you turn the state cver to the populists we will be the same as they are in Kansas. Down there (hey can- not renew a loan or sell bonds.

He Is seeking to' advance the Interests of his sheot, the Stinger. The re- publican party ‘was never so well organized \ @8 now, and its banuers will be carried to " vletory on election day.” After telling all about which didn't take him long, Majors said* that when elected the people would never regret having put plain Tom Mujors in the ~governor's chair, and invited everybody ent to come down and see him and he 1l & hearty welcome to th e u shall be proud of me' said nd I will,do what ought to be done for the commonwealth.

THEY WANT VINDICATION D.tectives Savage and Dempiey Ask In- vestigation of Charges Against Them, PCLICE AND THE GAMBLING QUESTION Commissioners Will Walt 8 Week Betore Deciding on Action—Strickler Says H Has Further Evidence — Routine Business Transacted. The only matter of importance that came up at the meeting of the fire and police com- missioners last night was the discussion over a communieation from Dectectives 8 age and Dempsey addressed to the of Police and referred to the hoard. the communication had been discussed case was laid over for a week. In the communieation Savage and Dempsey deny in toto the charges made against them in the Foley case. That Foley had “fixed’ them and Haze, as Cook testified, was de- clared false. They stated that they had never received from him_ or any one else anything in the shape of a bribe. They had reported to their superior officers everything that had come to their knowledge indicat- ing the carrying on of gambling in this city and had shown the manner in which gam- blers had destroyed all evidence of illegal acts before officers, whether in citizens' clothes or in uniform, were able to effect an entrance. They asked, whether any one made charges against them or not, that the board make a full Investigation of the matter. After the reading of the communication Mr. Strickler said that he wanted a most rigid Investigation of the matter or none at all. The air was full of rumors of the evasion of the gambling and liquor laws and charges had been made by The Bee which ought not to be passed over. He had’ heard the testimony given by Cook in the Foley case, and there were other wit- nesses who were not called who would give the same testimony. Besides, he was in possession of other important clews. He knew of a case in the city where a saloon keeper had a hidden bar and card room where men would gamble on Sunday. His profits on that day were the greatest of the week. He said he received immunity from interruption by giving the patrolman on the beat $10 occasionaly. But all such evi- dence as had yet been received had been hearsay and would not be accepted as ma- terial. In response to a suggestion from Mr. Hartman tbat he devote his time to an in- vestigation, Mr. Strickler sald he would not do so individually, but would act in con- nection with the board. He thought that it would be advisable to hire unknown de- tectives to get at the bottom of the matte This could be fone by the board without the authority of the council and mayor. The Foley case was an evasion of the gambling laws and should be strictly inve: tigated. What he would do if he were In the detectives' place would be to bring the matter into the criminal courts for vindica- tion. If detectives were employed he was ready to give them whatever clews he had and work in conjunction with them. M.. Coburn suggested that the matter be Jaid over until the return of Detective Haze. M.. Smith was opposed to this, but as he had not yet decided upon any plan of in- vestigation he moved that the further cn- sideration of the mstter be laid over until next week. The motion prevailed. Officer Gustavison was reported as having vidlated the police rules in being asleep on the night of August 25 while on duty. His case was considered in executive session. An extenuating circumstance was found in the fact that he had been on duty during the preceding d:y and night and the gase against him was dismissed with a reprimdnd. Otto Mehl, who keeps a saloon at 1924 Clark street, was reported to have sold liquor cn Sunday, September 9. The case has not been heard in the police court, and there- fore the board was not sure whether it had power to revoke his license, consequently the matter was referced for one week. A. A. Keyser was appointed a special po- ceman at the northwest corner of Sixteenth and Douglas streets. A leave of absence of fifteen days, ten with pay, was granted Court Officer’ Boyle, be- ginning October 1. Patrclman J. Sebek was allowed a leave of ten days from September 24. Patrolman Drummy was also granted his annual leave f ten days, beginning September 18 A petition for the reinstatement of George W. Bruce to the force, signed by sixteen bus ness men, was referred to the next ex- coutive meeting of the board, when all mem- bers should be present. Some members of the police force have asked to be sllowed to haye pockets in their overcoats, but the request was refused. {2 A I 5 It Dr. Price’s were not the best baking powder extant it would not be able to retain the laurels it has gained.

With the exception of Judges Hopswell and Ke sor, all of the seven judges are In their re- spective rooms, where they disposed of the business that was cailed to their attention. Judge Hopewell had not arrived from his home in Tekamah, owing to some delay in the running of the trains. Judge Keysor was in Washington, holding the regular Scptem- ber term of court, which will consume tyo weeks of his time. After his return he will g0 upon the equity bench in room No. 7, Judge Walton taking the law docket in room No. 2 and continuing in charge of the samo until his resignation, which will be pre- sent:d abent the middle of next month, In the criminal section, Judge ott had charge, where he calied the docket, after which he examined the jurors who will serve during the next thre: weeks of the term In calling the docket of criminal causes, County Attorney Kaley announced nearly everythin were made accordingly. The case of the state against Edward Rose- water, editor of The Bee, wherein he is charged with eriminal libel on an informa- tion, sworn out by Sophia Bennett, wife of ex-Sheriff George A. Bennett, the court said that he wished the county attorney would fix the date for the hearing, as he wanted to make arrangements with some of the other members of the bench to conduct the trial. He said that he would like to have the county attorney give at least one we tic:. “Attorney Ed W. Simeral, one of the attorneys for Mr. Rosewater, stated to the court that he was ready and anxious to go to trial, and hoped there would be no post- ponement. Dealing with ecity cases, the court an- nounced that in the future the prosecuting attorn®y would be compelled and required to set out in all informations some reference to the city ordinances violated. The mers mention that a crime was committed in vio- lation of the ordinances of the city would not be sufficient. The county attorney announced that the case of the state against Ed Hargersheimer would be ready for trial, and the crder was made, the date to be fixed, and in the mean- time ‘the defendant remains out on bonds. This is the case where Hargersheimer was convicted of forgery. The case was appealed to the supreme court, where the judgment of the lower court was affirmed, the mandate coming back with the instructions to the sheriff to take the man intoshis custody and execute his writ, which provided for a five year term in the penitentiary. As soon as the sheriff took Hargersheimer into cu tody, an attorney went before the judge of the criminal court, and upon making a show- ing succeeded In having the judge declare his man insane. The mandate of the supreme court was set aside, Hargersheimer was re- leased on bonds and cited to appear at the present term of court to answer to the charge of forgery on a new trial. In the celebrated Jardine case, in which the publishing of the facts therein sent the edi- tor of this paper and one of the reporters to jail, a new order was issued. The court an- nounced that Jardine had conducted himself in_an honorable manner since having plead:a guilty 1o the charge of grand larceny. The court also said that it had been brought to his attention that Jardine was under the in- fluence of liquor at the time of the commis- sion of the crime of grand larceny, and that he was not the real criminal. In view of all these things, the court again put off the im- posing of the sentence, putting Jardine upon his good behavior, and requiring him to re- main under bonds The case of the state against Sam Payne, charged with the murder of Maud Rubel, was called, the attorney for the state an- nouncing that he was ready for trial. No date, however, was fixed for the hearing. The contempt case against Bishop Scannell has been continued until Octoh To Impeach Mayor B At 2 o'clock in the afternoon Judges Hope- well, Ferguson and Walton went upon the bench for the purpose of hearing the fm- peachment charges preferred against Mayor Bemis by Councilmen Hascall and Wheeler. These charges were filed late in the afternoon of July and were for the purpose of having the mayor suspended from offic The scheme did not work, however, for none of the judges of the district court would issue guch an order, consequently the case has had to come up in the regular way. In brief, the charges are as follows: Official ‘misconduct as a member of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners in obstructing the enforcoment of the law against gambling, That he has conspired with certain per- sons to permit the running of gambling places in Omaha, in violation of law. That on April 21 he was guilty of mal- feasance in office by spending several hun- dred dollars of city funds for Kelly's army after it had passed through Omaha and was going through Towa. That he failed, neglected and refused to appoint a successor to Mr. Cowgill as city electriclan after the council had rejected the appointment of Mr. Cowgill, and left the of- fice vacant. That he was guilty of a misdemeanor in office by selling Bemis park, in which he was interested as owner, to the city of Omaha, of which he was mayor. That he was interested personally and as agent in the contract for the purchase of Bemis park for $30,000, and drew $29,750 thereon. Most of the afternoon was devoted to read- ing pleadings, consisting of the specifications by Hascall and Wheelor, and the answer by the mayor. Attorneys for the two councilmen had de- murred to some portions of the answer and asked that they be allowed to argue them at the convening of the court this morning. Attorney Connell for the maycr insisted that if the court found that any portion of the an- swer wag improper, he was willing that it should be stricken out. This morning the arguments to strike out certain portions of the answer will be made, after which the introducticn of testimony will begin, to continue from day to day until { the ease {s submitted. k's no- "The latest investigations by the United States and Cana- dian Governments show the Rayal Baking Powder supe- riof to all others in purity and leavening strength.

This year we're selling ’em at four dollars, and a trifle botter suit in every way. uits that were six fifty last year are but five dollars this year, Somewhat finer in workmanship too, and a gocd size collection of patterns to select from. Before you buy ours, take a look at any $5.00 suit offered about town, examine it rigidly and look at ours last. Our suits are warranted all wool. Suits that wa sold last year at ten dollars were—beyond con- tradiction —the best fifteen dollar suits ever sold legitimate or oth- erwise. This season suits of the same class are only soven fifty, and are, by the way, far batter made than ever before, The fabri® 's as reliable as ever, couldn’t improve on that, for we always aimed to furnish for that particular suit a cloth that is particu larly durable.

There may be good iight for the Mirror beside a window, the Table can be placed under the stairs and the Chair in the corner. Thus three picces are stowed, when a regular Hall Stand would haye been impossible. Again. The Hall Stand being large naturally dwarfs the size of the Hall.
