It was not expected that interest in any fmovement would prove much of a drawing card last evening in face of the down town attractions, but in spite of the counter at- tractions a large number of citizens of the Ninth ward met at Twenty-ninth and Far- mam and organized a branch club of the Cltizens' league, and enthusiastically entered upon plans for the redemption of the city grom misrule In the coming campaign. The meeting was called to order soon after B o'clock by Mr. John F. Cpad. The voters present proceeded to the organization of the club by the election of W. 'I. Kierstead as president, Thomas J. Penncll as secretary and D. J. O'Donahoe as treasurer. In taking the chair Mr. Kierstead sald that his selection as president of the club was & surprise to him. He had supposed that he mas out of politics, but he felt that It was a duty he owed himself and his fellow citizens to take any work that might be placed upon him that had for a result the giving of a better government to the city of Omaha, He sald he had lived In Omaba for a great many years and had been a resident of the Ninth ward since its organization. He had been one of the original organizers of fhe Ninth Ward Republican club, and was its president for many years and was the first member of the council from the Ninth ward. As long as the club was run as a purely republican body he was an active member of it, but when it turned its business over to a secret political organization he with- drew. He was a republican alwi mational issues, but In city and county mn- ters he was in favor of nonpartisan actlon and was ready to do his share in redeemin maha and Douglas county from the mi ule of secret, cathbound political socleties Secretary Pennell stated that, like Mr. Kieratead, he had not expected an election to any office. He had never been In politics, but_had always voted for whom he consid- ered the best man and would lend his influ- ence to any movement that promised better government for the city. SOME ARGUMENTS HEARD. After the election of officers a recess was taken and thirty-elght voters of the ward signed thelr names to the roll of members of the club in addition to those who had signed the original list some weeks ago. After the recess President Kiorstead stated that the meoting had been called for the purpose of organizing the club, and that thers would be no speaking unless those present wished it. They wished it, and called for Mr. R. W. Richardson, who made a rattling talk of twenty minutes, in which he outlined the plans of the club and poured ranks of the airs in the city . He was warmly applauded. At the close of Mr. Richardson's address there were calls for Mr. T. J. Mahoney, who had come into the hall after the meeting opened. Mr. Makoney sald he had expected to appear only as a listener, but was ready to ralse his vo'ce in encouragement of the re- form movement that been s0 well . utarted in the eity. He reviewed the work of the howling dervishes and told some hard facts concerning tho records of Eller, mett, Bolln and Socott, and dressed the latter gentlemen up in & haircurling manner. Mr. Chris Hoeppner was called on. He had & surprise in store for the taxpayers of the Ninth ward. He presented figures, taken from the oficial records, to show the ex- travagance of the city and county adminlstra- tion, and fairly stunned his hearers with a positive that the expense of con- the office of the city treasurer of Omaha Is almost double that of the state treasurer's office. He furnished an array of figures that will set taxpayers to thinking and closed with an appeal to the voters of the Ninth to join in the movement for reform and retrenchment in city affairs. The club will hold another meeting after the state fair. e il SAINTS NO N 'CH FOR SINNERS. Men of the World Triumph in the Snt- urday Cricket Mateh. The Sinners turned the tables on the Saints yesterday in the return match be- tween the two teams, and the Omaha Cricket club eleven defeated the team from All-Saints. Captain Cookson, for the Saints, won the toss, and sent in the Omahas, rather a doubtful proceeding in the face of a fast wicket, and a strong south wind. Cameron failed to score. Doyle joined Hili and some lively hitting and fast scoring was irdulged In. The brothers Vaughan did the bowling, but their batsmen hit them, and it was not until forty-two runs were scored that Hill was bowled by George Vaughan. His score of twelye included a hit for three and another fine drive for five. Lawrie then jolned Doyle, and after scoring one run wae finely caught by Porcy Young, who, with good judgment and long legs, held the ball sfx Inches from the ground. Iord then entered the arena, and again some lively run ‘(M(Inx was indulgea in. Doyle ulti- mately was caught at wickets for a finely played Innings of twenty-seven, which in- cluded a six and four threes. 'Mr. Doyle gave a fine exhibition of all round cricket, and without & single chance showing up in his old-time form. Kord, after scoring twenty-seven by free hitting and strong de- fense, was bowled by W. Vaughan. The only ‘other member of tne team to score heayily was Mr. Francis, who put twelve up in double quick time. “The nnings clos for 101 runs, The second highest score on the Omaha. grounds and one which tried not a little the' equilibrium of even an ag- gregation of “Saints.* The flelding of the Salnts was not as angellc as it might have been, with a few exceptions, notably tnat ot the brothers Young, while Taylor's performance at the wickets was all that could be desired. Captain Cookson sent Messrs. Taylor and Young to open the innings for his side. These gentlemen, after making six and elght respectively: gave place to the broth- ers Vaughan. This partnership was ex- pected to be a productive one as far as run getting was concerned, but strange to say, after making two each, the brothers were retired. Captaln Cookson managed to get five, while P. S. Young delighted the souls of the onlookers at the game by the fine exhibition of patient batting he gave which resulted in his ‘‘carryls out’ bat for ten. BE. J.

Pickpocket Morgan Gets Himwelf in Trouble Quite Ensily. Three “good” pickpockets were arrested last night. They are supposed to be a por- tion of a gang which has come to the city to work state fair visitors. They gave their names as John Morgan, James Cornell and Willlam Carney. All three are young, but are well known in all western cities, especi- ally Carney, who has a national repufation under the name of “St. Louls Irish.” They are all know to Chief White, and It was largely through him that their arrest was caused. The first one arrested, Morgan, was caught in the crowd at Sixteenth and Douglas streets. Chief White was standing on Douglas street apparently looking into a store window, when Morgan stopped before him. While holding his hands at a level with his chest, and seam- ingly wiping them with a handkerchief, Mor- gan began to finger a big diamond stud the chief wears In his shirt bosom. The chief dla not make a move untll Morgan had got well under way, and then placed him under arrest, From Morgan the chiet learned that the other two men were In the city, and gave a description of them to Detective Savage and Officer McLarnan, who was working in citi- zen’s clothes. The two officers singled them out of the big crowd that was returning from Courtland beach and arrested them. All the men say that they have not been here long enough to do any work. The three men come from Chicago, and with them are Frank Burton and Frank Ryan, who were arrested earller in the day as susplcious characters. bl ol ST RAISED A ROW IN A ROOKERY. ns and Verdant Vi Up for Fighting. Rachael Jones, Emma Miller, Jo Rogers, Frank Ericson and Abe Harris were arrested out of a house of fll-fame last night because they were creating a disturbance, Bricson is & South Omaha youth who re- ceived his month’s salary, $30, yesterday, and came to the city to have a good time. He met Harris and the two visited the house oc- cupled by the three women, who are colored. Ericson spent 50 cents there, and they went to another house, where Ericson discovered that he had lost his $30. They immediately came to the conclusion that it had been stolen in the first house they visited and they went back. The disturbance which caused their arrest was the result. Ericson thought that the Jones woman had robbed him, but no money was found on her. Jo Rogers, however, had $23, and the Miller woman had $5. The money was all of small denominations, and as Ericson said that the money he lost consisted of three $10 bills it is supposed that the women had the money changed. The Jones woman Is new to the polics ‘and answers the description of the woman who robbed the traveling man, Whitney, of $100 and $8500 in bank certificates better than any one else that has been under suspiclon. REPUBLICAN CLUR Pussle About Candidates for District Dench in the Sixth, The Sixth Ward Republican club held its regular meeting at Twenty-fourth and Lake streets last night. Besides the officers of the club some twenty candidates were on hand, ready to bs called upon for speeches. A motion was carried that an agreement be had by the candidates for district judge as to who should take the delegation into the county convention. A report is to be made at the meeting next Friday night. Among the speakers were Andrew Bevins, Jacob Fawcett, L. D. Holmes, Judge Macomber and J. L. Kelley. SR Seventh Ward Republicans, James A. Powers and A. E. Baldwin ap- red before the meeting of the Seventh ward republicans last night, and each boomed his candidacy for police justice. Albyn Frank told the voters that he was a candi- date for clerk of the district court. Dick Smith sald he should Uke very much to be sherift, Other speakers were John Westberg, can- didate for city comptroller, Ben Baker, Charley Unitt and G. W. Covell. Colored Courte: MEETINGS. 1 SOUTH OMAHA NEWS 00000 Liquor license money due the Board of Education to the amount of $12,500 is being held back by the city treasurer on account of protest cases. Presifient Cheek of the Board of Education says that the schools need the money. As the bonds failed to carry there Is nothing to run the schools on. The city treasurer has this money, but cannot legally turn it over to the school board until the pro- tested liquor licenses are settled by the courts. Mr. Cheek says that unless a set- tlement of the difficulty is made soon the Board of Education will endeavor to close the saloons which are now running without licenses and will try to get the money paid by liquor dealers which is now tied up in the courts, His Foot Was Cut Of. Dan B. Stephens, a farmer living a few miles south of York, fell from a freight train in the yards yesterday afternoon and the car wheels crushed his left foot.

He says that the watches were stolen by a domestic employed by Hurd, who gave them to him. READY TO PAY THE POLICE. Finance Conmmittec Will Recommend Allowing Regular Police Salaries. Councllman Kennard, a member of the finance committee, stated last ovening that the committee had reached an agreement and would make a majority report on Tuesday evening, recommending paying the police force. This means an appropriation of about $12,000 on the score of unpald salaries for the regular police force. “The speclals,” says Mr. Kennard, “did not get the votes and are not placed on the appropriation sheet. In addition to this the committco decided that it would also refuse to pay various small clalms presented by both of the fire and po- lice boards.” These bills, Mr. Kennard undor- stands, wiil by the commiftee be held up untll the supreme court decldes the fire and police case. Other appropriations, it is understood, will not fare as well when the Tuesday evening meeting is held, though a minority report may possibly be resd, allowing the Barber asphalt bills for 1891, There will doubtless be a hustling among Interested parties to insure a quorum at the special meeting Tuesday evening. A vigorous effort will be made to seo that the council- men ar In thelr seals at § o'clock sharp.

He became Involved in a fight with eight men near the corner of Fourteenth and Harney streets late yes- terday afternoon and when the police ar- rived he had a broken jaw and was fast hav- ing his features obliterated. Hewitt says that he was walking along the street past the eight men when one of them applied a vile epithet to him. This was more than his spirit could stand and he not only returned the epithet, but landed on the fel- low's nose. This started a row in which all engaged. Hewitt was thrown to the ground and sayd they kicked and pounded him until he did not know ‘“‘where he was at” a though spectators sized the fight up as a free- for-all. ‘When the patrol wagon arrived all except Hewitt, who was lying prostrate on _the ground, ran. Four men were captured. They gave their names as John May, Edward Kelly, Jim Boyland and John Keliy. i United:. Workmen's Day at the Fair.

Mrs. Pundt was met at the steamer by some of her relatives and started home- ward immediately by way of St. Lous.

Its adoption has gu teed an enormous attendance from parts of the state frém which but little busl ness was naturally expected, Following closely upon the announcement of the rate, made in The B:e of Friday camo reports from agents of the railroads in the state, outside the $5 line, promising large lists of excursionists for the state falr, One fllustration 1s sufficlent to show the gperation of the radical reduction in the rates. Chadron is the center of a populous district up in Dawes county, in thq nerth- western part of the state. The fare from that point to Omaha, one way, s $13.30, Cut that rate to a fare of $5.50 for the round trip, including an admission to the falr grounds, and the man who was figuring up the probable expense of a few days at the falr on the basls of one rallro fare, $13.30, for the round trip, now has & chance to revise his estimate and find that ho has about $8 to the good. In other words, he can come to the f; d pay his expensos for two days with the same amount of money that he had originally figured on paying out for railroad fare alone. And it is the same way on other roads in the state, PEOPLE POURING IN ALREADY, Even the raflroad people, who are sup- posed to keep in pretty close touch with the plans of the prospective travelers, have been surprised at the business which has already set in towgrd the state fair gates. The Union' Paciie from the west Friday night brought ninety-six passengers from Nebraska points with tickets for the state fair.
