8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEHR: :FRIDAY, THEY WANT REDELL TO STAY Property Owners Generally Not Willing to Part with the Present Fire Ohief. PURELY BUSINESS MATTER WITH THEM They Talk Freely About His Resignation and Urge that Every Indacement Should Be Offered for His Retention Record Perfectly Satistactory. Concerning the resignation of Fire Chiet Redell the prominent business men of Omaha express themselves as folicws Milton Rogers—It is scarcely necessary for business men to express themselves individu- ally, for all are as one man in their attitude toward Redell. He has given perfect satis- faction. His record s first ~lass and we should be sorry to see him go. His leaving would be most unfortunate for us. W. G. Shriver—Redell has been an excel- lent man for the position. No man could have made a better record in the same length of time Jeft W. Bedford—His splendid record justi- fles his retention. J. N. Cornish—Put me down as saying that 1 am opposed right square to letting Redell €0. He i the best man we have ever had In that position and he should be kept. Mr. Hess of Hess & Swoboda—I have been proud that we have such a competent chief as Redell and would be sorry to see him go, for it would be hard to get so good a man for the place. D. H. Wheeler, Jr—We could not get a better man and we cannot afford to lose him Meddling people ought to keep their noses out of fire department affairs. I believe the interests of the insurance men and other business men are wlentical respecting such a matter and all agree in the opinion that we have a better man for chief than we would be likely to get if a change were made. Morris Rosenthal—It would be a great mis- fortune if Redell quit. He has shown him selt to be a good fire fighter and a good disciplinarian. Let us give him a larger salary |f necessary and keep him. H. Hardy of the 99-Cent Store—When Redell came here insurance rates, which had been uncertain and which had been con- stantly raised, became quiet. When he wi appointed business men felt when they went home at night that thelr stores were in £00d hands in case of fire. Business men ought to bring pressure to bear for his re- tention. It would be foolish to let him go. C. A. Baldwin—I do not want the resigna- tion to work. He is the right man in the right place. It would be most unfortunate to have any change. W. V. Morse—I want to see Redell stay. W. N. Nason—Am in favor of retaining him by all means. He is the man for the place. 8. W. Lindsay—Our fire department ha never been in such good shaps. As a bus'ness man I feel that every effort should be made to retain Chief Redell and he should be brought to reconsider his action. N. A. Kuhn of Kuln & Co.—I think it would be very unfortunate in this stage of the program for the city If Chief Redell should leave Omaha. I should be favorable to getting him to reconsider his acticn if h can be induced to do so, and this is the gen- eral sentiment. 1 think it is unfortunate tha there should be a clique or a clan to inter- fere wita the discipline. CALAMITY TO LOSE HIM. Samuel Gamblo of the Continental Clothing Company—I think it would be a great mis fortune to lose the chief. I think he is a fire fighter from away back. To lose him would be a great calamity to Omaha. Th: place Is hard to fill and Omaha wants him. He should not be allowed to leave. J. A. Fuller of Fuller & Co.—I am sorry to see Chicf Redell go. We hate to have a £90d man leave us. M. Levy of the Nebraska Clothing Com- pany—I am not personally acquainted with the chizf, but T think he should be retained by all means. Whatever is done by the busi- ness men, he should be retained if any kind of Inducement can be brought to bear on him He has done well for the city and it would be a misfortune if he should 1 .T. B. Norris—If the city of Omaha wants a good fire chief it should not let Redell go Having an outside party tends to keep ou discord in the compani:s, I am favorable to any effort to keep Mr. Redell. A. Hospe—I think the chief is well fitted for the place and cught to be induced to stay We are expecting a reduction in insuranc rates, which are now too high by 50 per cent Should we have a_change of chiefs it would put the question in abeyance again. Redell has proven hims:lf most able to fight fires and we shonld keep him if we had to double his salary. Charles C. Belden of Thompson, Belden & Co.—I think something should be don2 't keep the chief her>. He should be induced to reconsider his action. I regretted to learn of his resignation, which was a great surprise. His leaving would be a d:triment to the city C. Brandels—I am in favor of having Chief Redell reconsider his action. Some effort ghould be made to keep s0 geod a man in Omaha. Joseph Hayden of Hayden Bros.—I think Chief Red:1l {s by all means the best man we have had for the place. I think every in- ducement should be wade to get him to stay far as is consistent with that purpose. He made an excell:nt record and is a great fire fighter, Omaha would suffer a big lo should he leave us. . _C. R. Sherman of Sherman & McConnell— We feel as everybody does, that Mr. Red:ll ought to be induced to stay. He ought to be glven assurances that his position is per- manent. Thomas Kilpatrick—The loss of _Chlef Redell would be very unfortunate for Omaha. He has proved himself to be a thoroughly efficient man and his resignation means a good deal to the men who own property in the city. [ sincerely hope that he may be induced to remain, but 1 cannot blame him in the least for his desire to e:cape from the sectarian controversy which seems to be likely to make itself felt in the fire and police departments. F. J. Kennard—I shall Redell go, but under the mstances 1 ean scarcely blame him for resigning. It is true that there is a good deal of uncertainty concerning the future policy of the fire and police board, and he would be justified in Accepting another position where he would be more secure. His work here has been first clase and if he insists on his resigna- tion Omaha will lose one of the best fire chlefs in the west, SHOULD BE ON A BUSINESS BASIS, Herman Drishaus, Vice Prestdent Gate City Hat Company—It will be a calamity if Omaha loses Chief Redell. He has been a most efficiont fire chief and should be retained If possible. He shoull be assured of full authority in Lis department, and the efforts of politicians and others to' interfere in his management should not be allowed. There is only one way to run a fire desartment, and that is on a business basis, Politics and religion should be left out of the ques- tion and efficiency should be the ouly con- sideration recognized. I am pleaged that the Commercial club has taken the matter up, and It would be a good fdca to circulate & petition to be signed by the business men of the city requesting Chief Redell to re- main and pledging him support as long as he continued to do his duty in the manner in which It has been done since he took charge of the department, Robert Cowell—As a business man I would be sorry to have Chief Redell leave Omaha, but I can scarcely blame him if he does. The people have only themseives to blame, and 1t looks to me as though there i but Jittle bopg that the dsorgunizing elemdn which hinders bim In work fow will be less active in the future. Of his value to this city there can be no doubt, and his de- parture will be a misfortune. EBmil Brandels of the Boston Store—I cer- 3lply think he should be held here in the ty and evefy effort should be made to keep him, for he fs a first class man such as Omaba wants, and it would be unfor- tunate to lose him. ‘Altred Millard—It Is & great misfortune for Omaba to lose such a valuable fire fighter as Chief Redell. I am In favor of smashing any political machine that interferes witk the tion of the equipment of the Omaha fire b cire rry to sec A l}mn—-n is & loes, a great loss. to lose & man for whom I have always heard b W gardless of politics, ought to call a mass meeting and take steps to Insure the recon- sideration of Chiet Redell's resignation. He ought not to be allowed to leave. Since he came to Omaha there has been a gratifying conquest of fires in their inciplency, which displays his great ability as a fire fighter. Frank B. Hartigan—I think the causes of Chief Redell's resignation should ~ be thoroughly investigated and he should be prevailed upon to remain, if he is in the right, which 1 believe will be found to be the true condition of affairs, P U, Preventive Medicine, Combining antiseptic with deodorant prop- erties, and possessing an agreeable, aromatic odor Allen's Hygienie Fluid makes a most ac- ceptable dentofrice or gargle; it sweetens and purifies the breath and teeth, instantly re- moving all odor of tobacco or liquor.

Lauder is reaching a high tension, and if he is caught there is a strong prospect that he will be treated to a coat of tar and feathers. Yesterday afternoon Frank Hibbard offered a reward of $50 for his capture, while Sheriff Drexel added a like amount. At the mecting of the county commission- ers, held yesterday, charges were pre- ferred against Justice Crosby and Constable Fitch, it being charged that Fitch g auder a chance to escape, and that Croshy cepted a bond that he knew was worth- loss. Miss Locke says she lost a purse contain- ing $1.20, and Miss Carlscn says she lost one with $3.50 in it, as a result of Lauder's ck upon them. ' The facts will be sub- mitted to the state to see if a_charge of rob- bery can be added to the charges against Lauder. If Abraham W. Lauder s captured, and the sheriff says that he will offer a suitable reward for his apprehension, two other women who have suffered from his attacks say that they are ready to file informations against him for attempted assaults. Lauder is now at large. The bonds required of him to answer for a criminal assault and at- n pted assault were in each case put at but 500. Owing to a natural delicacy on the sub- ject, the two women, one of whom Is a married lady living in the vicinity of Benson, have withheld tieir names, though the authorities are in possession of the facts on acccunt of which they claim they can prove that within the last few months Lauder was their assallant. According to the court records, Abraham W. Lauder has twice be- fore been held for criminal charges, one of the charges, in fact, being for an attempted agsault committed in a corn fleld last August, though the charge was dismissed by the state when it was found that Clara Anderson, the complaining witness, was half demented and could not sufficiently identify her as- sailant. Then a charge of assault and battery was_ preferred and Lauder convicted, being fined $60. Lauder in this case, it seems, had inveigled the girl, who was out in search of work, to ride with him. Lauder was also glven a three months' sentence for assault and battery in April, 189 Sheriff Nelling Rugs. The fourth floor of Morse & Company's store was filled with a crowd of people attend- ing one of the largest sheriff sale's of its Kind ever held in the west. At 9 o'clock Sheriff Drexel, acting under the direction of Judge Duffie, began to place a stock of rugs, Persian, camel’s hair, mohair and other east- ern makes under the auctioneer's hammer. It is estimated that fully $50,000 worth of rugs are now on fals to satisty five attaching creditors, with claims aggregating two-thirds of this amount. Topakyan & Co.’s stock is being sold.

Smith's W Papat, COPPINGER TAKES COMMAND Ohange of Generals in the Department of the Platte Consummated, GENERAL BROOKtS FAREWELL WORDS Expresses Appreciation of the Falthfaine of Men and Officers and of the Serv- ices of Those Clusely Associated with Him at Hendquarters, Shortly before noon yesterday the com- mand of the Department of the Platte was formally transferred from General Brooke to General Coppinger. Barly yesterday General Brooke in- formed Major Crowder that he was realy to say goodby to the clerks of the department, and a few moments later all of the men filed into the general's reception room, where they shook hands with General Brooke, possi- bly for the last time. In shaking hands General Brooke had a kind word for each man, and as they filed out of the room tears were visible in the eyes of many, even the general having occasion to use his handker- chief. Just before noon General Coppinger visited the headquarters, where he met General Brooke and the staff officers and at once as- sumed command. General Brooke issued the following order, and the change was com- plete: “In obedience to orders assigning him to another station, the undersigned hereby re- linquishes command of the Department of the Platte. “During the period of his command the troops of the department have been called upon for a varied service, embracing, in ad- dition to routine garricon work, aid in the suppression of an Indlan uprising and co- operation with the civil authorities in the control of the more recent industrial disturb- ances. In severing his official relations with the department he is pleased to record the fact that he bas at all times received from both officers and men an efficient per- formance of duty, such as has not only met with the approbation of their military superi- ors, but has inspired in the fullest measure onfidence in them on the part of the com- munities they have served as conservators of law and order, “The commanding general desires further to express his appreciation of the services of those more intimately associated with him at these headquarters and his regrets that the orders reccived necessitate a severance of the ties that have existed between {hem. And he wishes to eay generally to the citizens within the limits of the department that the uniform courtesy and consideration which they have extended him throughout his offi- clal tour have made his service among them a most pleasurable duty, and that in taking leave of them he does so with sincere regret.” General John J. Coppinger is 60 years of age, slight In stature and of a soldierly bear- ing. His halr is cropped close to his hea He is very affable and has a kind word for those whom he meets. He was born in Ire- land, and removed to the United States when a mere boy. 1In 1861 he joined the Fourteenth United States infantry, and soon afterward was promoted to the position of captain, Dur- ing the war of the rebellion he fought in the following battles: The second battle of Bull Run, Chancellorsville, Mine Run, Wilder- ness, Yellow Tavern, Gettysburg, Bridge, Johnson's Crossing, H. 0l1d Church, Cold Harbor, Trev Deep Bottom, Newton, Winch:s town, Smithfield, Fisher Hill, Wayne Woodstock, Cedar Creek, Liberty Mills, Five Forks, and at the final capitulation of Ap- pomattox. He was twice wounded, first at the battle of Bull Rum, and again at the battle of Appomattox. For meritorious sery- ices rendered at the battle of Trevillian Sta- tion he was breveted major, and In 1864 he ros2 to the rank of lieutenant colonel, In 1865 he became colonel of the Fifteenth New York cavalry, and in 1868, by reason of his meritorious conduct while compaigning against the Indians, he was breveted colonel. In 1878 he became major of the Tenth infantry, and few months later appointed Inspector general of the Department of the Missourl. After- ward he was sent to join his regiment in the Department of the Dakotas. From October 1, 1888, until October 1, 1890, he was statione? in New York City as superintendent of the recruiting service. On January 15, 1891, h was sent to Texas to join his regiment, the Twenty-third infantry, whera he continued to serve until a few wecks ago, when h was promoted to the office of brigadier gen- eral and placed in command of the Depart- ment of the Platte, Last evening General left for St. Paul, where the gencral will relieve "General Merritt and assum the command of the Department of Dakota taking with him his aides, Lieutenants Quay and Dean.

Brooke's last public act in Omaha was in connection with the cere- monies attendant upon the presentation of a beautiful silk flag to the High School Cadets by the Board of Education and the young ladies in the High school of the classes of '95, '06, '97 and '95. At 2:30 o'clock tha cadets were drawn up in line on the south- west part of the grounds, when General Brocke, with the new flag in his hand, stepped forward and on behalf of the givers made the presentation speech. His speech was short. The Cadets were admonished to reverence and defend the flag, where and when any opportunity was offered. At the close of the general's speech the flag was ted by Lieutenant Julius A. Penn, who thanked, on behalf of the Cadets, the givers and also General Brooke for the encourage. ment he had given the undertaking of organizatlon, and for his presence at the ceremoni he flag was then turned over to the color sergeant,-and as he joined the ranks of his company, the battalion saluted the gemeral in true military style, after hich a formal inspection was made by neral Brooke, who expressed himself well pleased with the bearing and general knowl- edge of military tactics displayed by the Cadets. As the time was limited on account of the general's proposed departure for St Paul, no review was had, and the cere- monfes were cut short. At the conclusion of the ceremonies the Cadets were drawn up In several positions and photographed. The flag is of regulation size, the same as carrled by the infantry in the regular army. Company A of the Cadets has the honor of carrying the flag for this year, as It won the prize at the contest for the same on May 3, at the Coliseum. Ralph Connell is captain of company A, and Sergeant Franklin, a colored boy of that company, has, on account of his military excellence and physique, been selected as color ser- geant. A contest will take place each ye for the honor of being the color company the battalion. The drills for the Cadets for this year are about over, and what will probably be their last appearance as a bady in public will be connection with the parade on Memorial ay.

In reply to the question whether the Indian lands, over which thereihms been considerable trouble In the nelghborhood of Pender re- cently, are liable to taxation, Congressman George D. Melklejohn answers a Bee re- porter as follows: “In 1882 some 60,000 @cres of the Omaha reservation lands were: seld, the proceeds of which, about $300,00, were to go into the fund for the benefitof'the Omaha Indians. The conditions were that the first payment on the purchase should be made in 1883, the second payment in 1884 and the third on December 1, 1885, No payments have been made. In 1885 an extension of time, within which payments should be made, was granted to December 1, 1888. In 1888 an- other extension t 1800 was granted and later the time was further extended four years and until December 1, 1894. At the sccond sesslon of the Fifty-third congress I succeeded in having the time extended three years more, which will make the final pay- ment due on December 1, 1867, “‘Previous to this time the lands that had been sold were not subfect to taxation. Con- sequently, in the act which provided for the extension” of time for the payments, I in- corporated the following clause? ‘The said lands shall be subject to taxation by the state; provided, that such taxation shall in no wise ‘Impair the lien of the government for the unpaid purchase money,’ The act also provided that the provision for the extension of time should not go into effect until the consent of the Indians for such extensicn should be obtaine; he act was passed and approved by the president. “In December, 1894, I was on the reserva- tion on political business, but while there I declded that it might be well to present the matter of an ext:nsion to the Indlans in council, and I obtained p:rmission to do so. The Indians consented to the extension. I reported this fact to the secretary of the interfor, but as the report was not on the rgular forms, he held it informal, and re- quested Captain Beck to call a council of the Indiang and present the matter to them. Captain Beck did so, and this time the In- dians refused to consent to the extension. In my opinion this refusal was caused by the influence that was brought to bear by persons who advised the Indians that if they refused to give their consent to the exten- sion the $300,000 in deferred payments would be Immediately paid and distributed per capita. Jpon being advised that the tribe re- fused the extension of time, I obtained an in- sertion in the Indian appropriation bill, known as the act of March 2, 1895, which will, in my opinion, grant the extension. This act provided originally that an extension of three years on the final payment should be granted to all homestead settlers on all_ceded Indian reservations in the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Idaho, and in the territory of Oklahoma. The insertion provided that the same extension should be granted to the settlers on like lands in Ne- braska, and also to all purchasers of ceded Indians lands in Nebraska and the other states mentioned. Regarding this matter, I received the fol- lowing letter recently from the Department of the Interior: ‘I have the homor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated April 16, asking for an early construction of the provision of the act of Ma providing for an extension of ti first payment for certain ceded Indian lands, as, in your opinion, it grants an extension to purchasers of lands on the Omaha Indian reservatio In reply, I have the honor to enclose a copy of the circular sent to the district land offices at O'Neill, which has been appro y the honorabie Secretary, in which they vised hat said act does grant an extension of on2 year beyond the time fixed in the act of August 19, 1890, for payments by pur- chasers of the Omaha ceded lands.’ “I have no doubt that these two acts to- gether will compel purchasers of the Omaha lands to pay taxes on their purchases. The first act provides that the lands shall be taxed, although the remainder of the acy, which provided for the extension of time, 1§ invalld, becanse the Indians refused their consent to the extension. The later act, how- ever, does grant the extension.” . e World's ¢ olombiun + xposition Was of value to the world by illustrating the improvement in the mechanical arts and eminent physicians will tell you that the progress in medicinal agents has been of equal Importance, and as a strengthening laxative that Syrup of Figs is far in advance of all other: e IMPOKTANT CHANGE ' Time on Pennsylvania 1L Chicago.

Insurance Company Lawing a Creditor—Sult Against Lincolw’Sehool Distriet, The Michigan Mutudl Life Insurance com pany filed a petition in the office of the clerk of the United States dtrict court asking that the court Issue ancarder to compel John L. Plerce, recelver foo the Mutual Invest- ment company of this eity, to assign to the plaintiff the bid whieh was made at sherift's salo on March 12 forithe purchase of lot 8, block 8, Lowe's First addition. The petition alleges that the plaintiff purchased a note and mortgage from the defendant given by Andrew Swanson and wife on the above named lot and that the defendant company guaranteed the payment of the interest and principal. This agreement was not fuifilled, and to save the costs of foreclosing the mort- gage the petitioners ask that the prayer be &ranted. Ferdinand C. Fiske of St. Louis filed gapers in a suit against the school district ofWiin- coln for a claim of $2,810.20 with Interest a the rate of 7 per cent from May 1, 1894. Fiske is an arcbitect and claims that he furnished drawings and specifications for a high school building in Lincoln, which were accepted at that time, but the bullding was not erected. Under the terms of the con- tract it fe claimed that this amount is due and unpaid, and the court is asked to render 4 judgment accordingly. The jury in the cise of Charles W. hard, who was tried Wednesday for p counterfelt money at Arlington some time during the month of February last, brought in 4 verdict of gullty. C. CREDITORS IN A SCRAMBLE Payment for the Plumbing at Fort Orook Gots Into Court, SUPPLYERS OF WELS HANS & CO, PLAINTIFF Quurtermaster Homphrey Retalos the Money Under Injaonction Which is the Matter Quarreled Over—Contract Price Less Than Claims. A host of creditors were gathercd in Judge Ambrose's court room yesterday clamor- ing for a division of the proceeds from the Fort Crook contracts which were awarded by the United States to J. L. Welshans & Co. The creditors have banded together and are. seeking to make the bondsmen of Wel- stans & Co. hold the sack. In so far as this is concerned, their purpose is one, but owing to the fact that the money which the United States intends paying for the job Is less by $7,000 to $10,000 than the cost of the work, | there is bound to be a scramble among the creditors to see who can get the mcst m noy on their respective claims. May 1893, Welshans & Co., plumbers, took a contract to put in plumbing, steam and gas at the fort in Sarpy county. The con- tract was made with Major C. F. Humphrey, quartermaster. The contract covired all the buildings except certaln offic:rs’ quarters. Welshans secured as bondsmen on a bond for $11,708 D. C. Patterson, Danfel Kenlston and Josiah Kent. In August another contract was made by Welshans & Co. to expend labor and material in prosecuting work at the fort and other contracts followed. Welshans & Co. continued during the seison to [rose uta the work, buying material of manufacturers all over the country, who sold willingly, un- der the supposition that the United States government was behind the contractors, and RANK MOCKERY.

In September of last year, however, Welshans & Co. became insolvent and assigned thefr contracts to the bondsmen. To secure them- selves the bondsmen took hold of the work with vigor and succeeded in completing the job about a month ago. Besides the contract mentioned, Welshans & Co. had taken addi- tional cnes, so that when the bondsmen fin- ished thelr work they found it cost them $49,130. All the money they can require the government to pay them, they claim, is $42,- 540.90. The first of the creditors of Welshans & Co. to precipitate a rush was Fairbanks, Morse & Co. of Chicago, who enjoined the quartermaster from paying out about $17,000 of funds he still held at the be- ginning of the year. Previous to this it had been the custom for the quartermaster to pay over the money to Welshans, who then handed it to his bondsmen. Most of this money is now in court and is the bone of con- | tention among creditors with claims amount- | ing to over $25,000. Seventy-five hundred dol- lars of it fs in the hands of Crane & Co. They secured an order from Welshans upon | | the quartermaster for (his amount for goods they had furnished. The other creditors are trying to make Crane & Co. throw this into the pot, from which all expect to draw if they defeat the bondsmen.

Henry McKendry, who served in the capacity of a day laborer, trimming and hanging meats, on December 27, 1893, was thrown down an elevator shaft, a distance of three stories, a truck load of meat weighing 250 pounds fal- ing on top of him. McKendry bases his action on the claim_that the elevator door: and floors were in bad condition, and after giving the signal he backed into the shaft, supposing_the elevator had stopped, when he fell. His leg was broken in three places his ankle crushed and considerable injuries in other parts of the body sustained. Ladies who value a refined complexion must use Pozzoni's Powder.
