THE OMAHA DAILY BE RIDAY. OCTOBER 1 T0 SWELL CHAFFEE'S BOOM ‘Water Works Forces Become an Adjunct in the Mayoralty Race. PAY ROLL TEMPORARILY INCREASED Many New Names Added and Much Activity Entered Upon Just Prior to the Holding of Repub Primary Elections, Another waterspout s expected to engulf today's primarl; The force employed by the water works company in digging theditches preparatory to the laying of the new mains has been expanded during the last few days until now it comprises a small army in itself. It will be remembered that just previous to the last republican primaries over a week ago the same phenomenon of a sudden increase in the number of water works employes was observed, The men in the ditches on that day were asked in what ward they voted and they were given their time and supplied with transportation to and from the polls for the purpose of voting for the water works candi- date for the nomination for clerk of the dis- trict court, After the county primaries the force of employes was slightly reduced, to b2 again added to as the next primary approached. Day before yesterday there were about 300 men on the pay roll. Yesterday an additional fifty were put on, and how many new ones will be taken on today will probably depend upon the outlook for Chaffee, the candidate for mayor who is being favored by the water worke. Streets everywhere are torn up and new ditches are opened before the old ones are closed. Dougles street between Sixteenth and Eighteenth was one of the points of attack yesterday, and during the afternoon (\\V!I‘(" ¥ix men were counted engaged in digging the trench for less than a half block. All of these men wlll, it s sald, be voted today at least once, The success of the water works candidate in the county convention has em- boldened the managers to repeat the tactics. The opposing candidates, however, have caught the grounds for the employment of this political army and the challenges at the primaries promise to be legion. Indeed, it will not be surprising if arrests are made for violations of the primary election laws. OF DISORDER. HAD ALL SOR Oppoxition in t venth to Chaf- fee's Delegntes to Convention. There was a red hot fight on at the meet- ing of the Seventh Ward Republican club last night. It was caused by the presence of two rival sets of delegates wanting the sup- port of the club at today's republican pri- maries, Several days ago the club selected Clarence L. Chaffea to name the delegates from the Seventh ward. He chose C. F. Beindorf, J. W. Eller, B. F. Thomas, John Stone, George Stryker, Louis Peterson, John Grant, H. H. Baldrige and George Sabine. A, E. Baldwin met Mr. Chaffee some time ago and asked him the names he had selected, but as he.was given but small audience by Mr. Chaffee, ho immediately decided he would not-play in Chaffee’s back yard, and would have none of his delegates. He then pro- ceeded to get up a select list of his own @hoosing, placed it on file with tho central eéimmittee, ‘wnd dprung It at the club shortly alter ‘the session had opened. His surpriee Party evoked a storm of disippréval ‘from the members of the club. John Steel secured {he floor aboye the tumult and moved that r. ©haffes’s delegates be endorsed. The ‘motion was lost in tho din raised by the val factions. As soon as order had been Refily. Tebbrea Charles Haller ross and mt upon Chaffee’s delegates most emphatically. Ho said there was no reason why Mr. Chaffea should have the entire right to do Jall. the selecting, and would like to have a finger In the pie himself. He moved that the names of Mr. Baldwin's delegates be Tead and voted upon by the club. Affer some difficulty Mr. Baldwin secured a_hearlng and proceéded to state why he had put up an “opposition ticket. At length, when pande- onfiim reigned sipreme, Judge Eller suc- cbeded in being heard for a few feconds, and moved that Mr. Chaffee’s selection of mén Tie endorsed. He was seconded by Mr. Bald- ridge and by J. B. Powers, When the chair- min's volce was at length heard -he put the question to vote by suggesting that the rival delegates and thelr followers take op- posite sides of the hall, and that the club would go with the majority. There was a wild scramble over chairs for a few min- utes, and finally it was seen that Mr. Bald- win and his men were in the minority. Mr. Baldwin left, avowing that he would put up & large sized fight at the polls on the mor- row, and with sundry head shakings the club adjournad. nd His Bills, & man in the audience at Patterson hall last night that Judge Scott Aldn’t want to see. The judge was billed to talk before the Swedish Republican club and about 100 people turned out to hear him. His' sprech was different from his usual tizades that have disgusted audiences in every ward in the city. Instead of abusing other people he became beggar on his ac- count and pleaded for votes. He told what a good man he was. He said he had lived for 62 years and had never done a_dishonorable act. He traced his record for years, shrewdly dropping. the points that wouldn't sound well, and told his audicnce that if Ke were re- elected he . would coutinue to make them a good, honest, upright, capable, merciful, just, square judge, just as he had'in the past. Then Scott put In a word for the rest of the dervish ticket. “No man,” said he, “can point to any one of the candidates named by the republicans for judges of the district court and say that they are not clean men. Rosewater says 1 am not a clean man, but th lied ““Heo did not lie; h> told the truth,” shouted Gustav Andreen, the well known safe manu- facturer, who had a seat in the rear of the hall. Then Seott’s entirely. clared or put sald he wouldn't to Scott o There was one ire got He frothed at that he wanted possession of him the mouth and ds- the man kept still out of the hall. Chairman Johnson wanted no personalities, but Scott have it that way. He was going answer Mr. Andreen. He went on to say that he did not owe Mr. Andreen any bill for shutters or steps furnished for his building on Thirteenth street. He had paid the architect, and it Mr. Andreen had any steps or shuiters on the building he could £0 and take them off. “He can sue me in a court of Justice,’ shouted Scott, “and I'll waive the siatute of limitations and the sum- mons and all.”* “A judgment against you isn’t worth any- thing,” retorted Mr. Andreen, who was get- ting about as warm as the ranting colonel. Scott demanded that Andreen be Kept still or he would leave the hall. The chair- man, the secretary, the sergeant-at-arms and others of the clubsought to keep Mr. Andreen quiet, and he finally decided to allow the circus (0 go on. Scott kept up the racket by saying that he owed no man a cent that he would not pay If it were a just bill. He was too much of a republican to pay an un- Just bill, and was altogether too honest with himself to refuse to pay a just bill. He kept up his talk until the audience tired of it and most of the hearers and spectators left the room before his harangue was finally completed. i Hud a Late Scaxion. There were a number of speakers scheduled to address the Second Ward Republican club last nlght at Fifteenth and Williams streets but they futled to show up. Some few of th faithful, however, remained about the meet- ing place until 9:30 o'clock, when several speakers from the First ward meeting ar- rived with a co'erle of followers. 1. 8. Gordon of the First ward was the first speaker, but after announcing that he was one of the swarm of candidates for pub- lic office he retired and Ed Cornish took his place, Cornish was followed by Tkey Hascall Both speakers spent considerable time in aimlessly scoring everything by the stralgant republican ticket. Dr. Hanchett spoke in much the same line, After he had finished a number of candidates for the council an- mounced themselves and the meeting ad- 4ourned, White Objects to It J. A. White states that his name was put on the petition list of delegates from the Eighth ward to the: demoeratic oity convention without his knowiedge or consent. He says he will not be a candidate at the primaries Third Ward Colored Republicans. The Third Ward Colored Republican club met In secret session at 402 North Twelfth street last night. All of the plans issued by the leaders were proposed and accepted. — add is on page 2. ————— Hayden Brof Charles H. Hoyt has a host of admirers in Omaha, as he has everywhere, from the eastern to the western ocean, from the lakes to the guif, wherever the mildly satirical brand of plays is known with which his name has become identified. The local contingent was out in force last night, filling Boyd's theater to its eapacity. If any went in fear lest the rumors which have been spread abroad of late concerning the popular play- Wwright's recent leaning toward a greater re- finement of method should prove well founded in the light of this, his latest effort, they came away reassured. It had been said that Mr. Hoyt, In the steady progress of his genfus, * had touched in “A Contented Woman' a plane superior to that which he | had ever occupied before; that the familiar axe and scene-painter’s brush had given place in his hands to the rapier and the camel's- hair pencil, and that the well-loved methods of the author's earlier succ:sses had been discarded entirely and forever. All these terrors and alarms, however, were dispelled by the first ralsing of the curtain, which dis- coversd to.the audience one of the old-time short-s| ed soubrettes, in whom the soul of the Hoyt of other days took pleasure. and when Will Bray was recognized in one of those black-face roles, for which he is justly famous, all doubt was at an end and the house settled itself to unalloyed enjoyment of the more or less delicately indicated points of the play. “A Contented Woman” satirizes modern political methods, bestowing upon the ques- tion of woman suffrage the greater share of its attention. Like most of the abuses and follles which Mr. Hoyt attempts to laugh out of existence with the honest mirth excited by his plays, this one doubtles deserves the fate to which he would consign it. Women do not want to vote here in any alarming numbers, as witness certain recent school elections, where they might have done so and didn't. We hear of the antics of the strong-minded female elsewhere, but she and her cause do not form a live fssue among us. Still, it is meet that she sould be ridiculed wherever she fs found, for she is a pernicious growth. Mr. Hoyt, In direciing toward her the polished shafts of his wit, has done the country a servics, which, if it does not out- live in permanency the fame which he has honestly won as a playwright, bids fair to be at least as enduring in its nature as that rendered by any other similar means. “A Coutented Woman" Is said to have been written to suit the abilities of the beautiful wife of the author. Caroline Miskel Hoyt was enthusiastieally received last night when she came through the parted draperies of the back and read her pretty line about the kind- ness of the people of “this town.” It seems ungracious to speak in other than terms of praise of so lovely and radiant a being, but it_is borne in upon one that her voice is not an agrecable one and that her acting leaves much to be desired. Her famous beauty of face and figure, however, seem to have been in no wise exaggerated by report and her costumes last night were of notable elegance. Frank Lane was warmly welcomed by his many friends in front, Wiliam H. Currie was liked as Benton Holme and George Ober added greatly to the enjoyment of the even- ing by his genuinely. amusing work as the henpecked husband. ~ Of the. offerings of the ladies a clever if somewhat exaggerated plece of work was that of Mrs. Snyder ‘as Aunt Jim, while Mrs. Clarke contributed the smoothest performance, from a purely artistic standpoint, of the evening's entertainment. Certain specialties, done with a fair amount of cleverness, were re-demanded, and Mr. Hoyt, In response to a universal desire, made a litfle talk before the curtain, in which he disclaimed any intention to meddle with purely local politics, a declaration particu- Jarly opportune in the present piping times. The plece is” exquisitely put on, the - last scene, with a distant view of the snowy range, being especially effective, although one does not remember to have seen the moun- tains so very near to Denver as Mr Voegtlin has shown them. “Human Hearts” at the Creighton, a play quite new to most of our theater goers, turned out an agreeable surprise. It Is by no means the sensational melodrama that its somewhat lurid bill boards and the exciting nature of the plot as outlined would lead one to suppose, but a pure and sweet drama of human passions, which is presented by a company of competent players, most of whom are new to Omaha, but are none the less acceptable for that. “Human Hearts'" is called in the bill “a tale of the Arkansas Nills.” The woes of Tom Logan, whose ster- ling character Is powerfully portrayed by Mr. Hal Reid, the author of the play, are de- picted in a manner not too melodramatie, but with many touches of genuine pathos, and tho idyllic story is brought to a close in a manner which, if a trifie conventional, is eminently satisfactory to the human hearts which have followed its course with varied emotions. Bertha Belle Westbrook, who is Mrs. Reid in private life, shows herself an artist of excellent ability in the thankless role of Jeannette. William Robyns is clever as Jem Mason, William H. Smedley con- tributes an ingenious makeup and an amus- ing personality as Mose, and Walter G. Hor- ton 1s sufficiently vallainous in a villain's part. The two Pearls, Effie and Mamie, do agree able. work in boy's attire, Mrs. Robyns brings tears to many eyes In her pathetfc scene with the governor, and Mr. Armstrong is impressive as that tender hearted function- w Human Hearts” is lavishly and appropri- ately staged, and is altogether worth sceing. e H meseckers’ Excursions, Round trip tickets will be sold at very low rates by the Missouri Pacific railway on Octcber 8 and 22 0 points in Arkansas, Karsas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana.

Funeral RALLY FOR HOME INDUSTRY Fifth Annual Meeting of Manufacturers and Consumers Association, ENCOURAGING REPORT OF THE SECRETARY What Has Been Accomplished in the ant Year—Vacancies in State Board of Directors Filled— The Yearly Banquet. The fifth annual meeting of the Omaha members of the Manufacturers and Con- sumers association was held yesterday after- noon in the assoclation rooms in The Bee bullding. The usual home Indvstry lunch was spread and the members were soon seated around the tables. The first few minutes were given up to a critical examination of Ne- braska food products, the thirty manufactur- ers seated around the board doing full justice to the spread. The passing of cigars was the signal for the comencement of business. In the absence of E. P. Davis, the chairman of the executive committee, L. M. Rheem, was called to the chair and announced the object of the meeting. 0. C. Holmes, secretary of the assoclation, being called upon said: At the organization of the Manufacturers and Consumers Assocla- tion of Nebraska, for the purpose of advanc- Ing the cause of home industry, in September, 1891, it was freely predicted by many that it would be a short-lived craze at best, and before two years had rolled around would go the way of most organizations of business men. Four years of successful life, however, has proved not only the usefulness of the associa- tion, but shows that Nebraska manufacturers are wide awake and public spirited business men, ready and willing to work together for the common good and for the building up and development of the manufacturing industries of the state. Our membership being distributed among a large number of citles and towns, has had the effect of establishing friendly relations among the members, and this feeling has extended, in a large measure to other busi- ness interests to the advantage of all. 1 think it can be truthfully said that no such harmonious gatherings of business men have ever been seen in any state as our Home In- dustry banquets, given in various citles of Nebraska. In a letter recelved some time ago from a former officer of our association, now located in Towa, he remarked that the manufacturers of that state did not stand together like those of Nebraska, each one seeming to work for himself, and against every one else. He also expressed the hope that our organization might be extended to that state, as he be- lived it would be to the advantage of both. The work of the assoclation during the past year has been along the same general lines as have been pursued in former years. Your secretary has done considerable work among the retail merchants and jobbers in the way of pushing the sale of Nebraska made goods, He has also, whenever possible, induced builders to use materials made at home. The meetings of the state board of purchase and supplies have been regularly attended, and through the friendly action of this board many thousand of dollars of state money which formerly spent abroad for supplies, now goes to home institutions and helps to furnish employment to Nebraska people, the state securing goods equal if not” superior in quality and price to those bought in other markets, ENTERTAINMENT OF BUSINESS MEN. Oneof the mosy successful Home Industry banquets we have ever glven was tendered last December to the business men and their wives ot Norfolk and vicinity. Over 500 Ne- braska people sat down to tables loaded with Nebraska made goods and listened to Nebraska made speeches by a number of ~Nebraska's most eloquent speakers. A pleasing feature of this entertainment was that a coach load of mem- bers of our assoclation from Omaha, Lincoln and other points were In attendance and the tharks of the association are due the officials of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad for courtesies extended on that oc- casion. Another most notable gathering, held under the auspices of the Manufacturers and Con- sumers association, was that of ahout 300 traveling representatives of Nebraska houses, who met in a three days' convention in Omaha last February. The sessions were all well attended and great fnterest was taken in the subjects under discussion, which all tended in the direction of loyally' to home institutions. The convention closed with one of our Home Industry banquets, held in the Omaha Guards' armory, which was partaken of by 500 knights of the grip, jobbers and manufacturer Last May, at the request of the domestic economy department of the Women's club of Omaha, we gave the members of the club a practical demonstration of the excellence of our food products, in the shape of a home indust women of the city were present and voted unanimously to patronize home industry in the future, Last year, after the state fair, a slight mis- understanding occurred between the board of managers of the falr assoclation and our directors, but I am glad to be able to report that all differences between the two associa- tiohs were afterwards settled to the entire satisfaction of both parties, and we were glven almost the entire space in manufac- turers’ hall at the state fair in Omaha for an exposition of Nebraska manufactured goods. The exhibits this year were better In many respects than any we have hereto- fore given, the only troubie being that the building was inadequate to the demands made upon it by exhibitors, nearly all being compelled to get along with about half the floor space they needed. Should we take part in the next fair a larger building will be almost an absolute necessity. My report shows that we have lost some members during the past year. A few who ought to have remained with us have with- drawn. Five have burned out. Three have gone out of business, and one has removed from tha state. The largest number, how- ever, are those who, from insufficient capital or other causes, have falled in business or have been unable to keep up their dues. When we consider the general business de- pression, from which all lines of business have suffered in the past three. years, it is cause for congratulation that we have not lost more, and that Nebrasku manufacturers have weathered the storm as well as they | have, s an association our Incume Is still suff- cient to pay our expenses and to keep up the work without abatement, and With better times money can be laid by for special work. The results of our work, I am sure, have been good. The banquets, the exposition and the constant agitation of the home industry idea have had their effect, and home made goods were never S0 popuiar as now, 1t is well for us to remember, however, that no manufacturer can afford to make poor goods and expect people to buy them out of pure patriotism. Oui products should be kept up'to the highest standard of ex- cellence, and our prices as low as goods of the same quality can b> bought for else- where. Our motto is, “Price and quality being equal, glve preference to Nebraska made goods.” On this platform we can win and on no other do we deserve to succed. In closing I wish, on behalf of the Manu- facturers and Consumers Association of Ne- braska, to again acknowledge our obligations to the press of the state for the royal sup- port it has so generously accorded us. It has given us hundreds of columns of valuable space and has made possible. whatever meas- ure of success we have attained. FINANCIAL AND OTHER STATISTICS. The financlal report was as follows: Re- sources: Furniture and fixtures, $340.59; labels, ‘$38; First National bank deposit, $408.30; cash, 39.67; bills receivable, $1,026.25} total, $1,852.81, . Liabilities: " Dues pald in advance, $8; due salaries, $95.05; profit and loss $1,749.81; total, $1,852.51, - During the past year twenty-four members of tha association falled or went out of busi- ness and uineteen withdrew. The new mem- bers secured during the year have partly made up for the resignations, so that the net loss of the year amounts to only thirty The present membership of the assoclation 18 13 The time for which the following mem- bers of state board of directors were elected has expired: M, C. Peters, R. F. Hodgin, Danlel Farrell, ‘yr., Samucl Rees, Adolph Meyer and M. 8. Kibbe. Messrs. Coe and Tibbs resigned from the board, leay- ing elght vacancies on the board. The sec- retary announced that owiug to a reduction In the number of members Omaha was only lunch. Over 400 of the leading entitled to six additional names on the board of directors, The following wae then elected to fill the vacancies: Mr. Hugglme and Charles Black, one year; Gaylord:Wateon, R. F. Hodgin, Samuel Rees and Mr.Katz, three years. During the week 4hs manufacturers of the state have been heldimg meeting Lincoln reported the following as elected members of the board of directors: Leo H. Clark, Aaron Buckstaff, J. C. Harpham, W. J. Robinson and Mr. Becker. Nebraska City elected John W. Stelnbart and Beatrice C. B. Dempster. Fremont will hold & meeting the last of the week. This completes the state board of directors. The president of the assoclation, J. C. Harpham of Lincoln, will probably call a meeting of the board of directors about Tues- day of next week, at which time the officers for the ensuing year will be elected. W. A. Page, ex-president of the assoclation, was present as the guest of the association. Messra. Rees, Hodgin and Holmes were ap- pointed a committee to prepare resolutions on the death of C. C. White of Crete. The success of the home industry move- ment {s very well illustrated by the fact that the Nebraska ‘manufacturers' label is being copled by manufacturers in other states. The manufacturers of flour sacks in St. Louls and in some eastern citfes print the label of the Nebraska manufacturers’ association on thelr sacks for the use of flouringsmills. A. Hospe suggested that some scheme should be adopted to protect the label, and he was re- quested to formulate a plan for presentation to_the state board. Mr. Hene, the cigar manufacturer, who rz- cently located in Omaha, was introducez to the members and made a few remarkz. Mr. Rheem was in favor of pushing the work of the association harder than ever. “The prosperity of the state is largely de- pendent upon the efforts of the manufactur- ers,” sald the speaker, “and we must nol fail to do our duty.” W. A. Page was called upon and replied that he had nothing to say more than to urge upon all manufacturers to keep up the standard of their goods. M. C. Peters said that there was nothing Iike advertising the home patronage idea and making it popular. It had been suggested to him that if the governor of the state and the mayors of the different cities would issue proclamations asking the. people to en- courage home industries it would call atten- tion to the subject in a most forcible manner, —_——— Mru. Ish and Her Cell. It s the intention of Jailer Miller to trans- fer Mrs. Ish from the cell which she is now occupying in the main portion of the county Jail to the women's quarters as soon as they are finished. At present, while Mrs. Ish does not mingle with the male prisoners, she cannot be separated from them only by the bars. In the women's quarters, how- ever, she will be separated entirely from them, as the cells are in the southeastern part of the building. Jaller Miller may find some trouble in store for him before he effects the transfer. Mrs. Ish has a decided objection to going into the women's quarters, and says that Judge Scott and the county commissioners sald that she would not have to go there. Consequently it may be necessary to obtain an order of the court before the transfer is made. ate —————— ted to Stay There. s last might took a young woman who is wanted by her parents from a house of ill fame at 114 South Ninth street.

When the Northwestern announced a cut on the rates on hard coal from Chicago to | Omaha some weeks ago It was given as a reason for the cut that {t was necessary (o protect the road from excessiva competition and to save its busine Other ronds cut the rate lower than the figure named by the Northwestern, and yet it is strange to state that the Northwestern is doing all the anthracite coal business between Chicago and Omaha and has been all along. Agents for competing lines fail to under- stand why the Northwestern should have all the business in the coal line when other roads are quoting a lower rate. They cannot bring themselves to believe that the road is £0 popular with shippers that it would get the business regardiess of rates. This would be nico for the company of course, but people generally would be slow to swallow the state- ment that such was the fact. Whatever the causes and reason the fact remains that the Northwestern has had a practical monopoly on the coal business from Chicago to Omaha. The official figures of the shipments for the months of August and September of hard coal from Chicago to Omaha are as follows Chicago & Northwestern, 35,623; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, 2.110; Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy, 1,964; Chicago, Rock Tsland & Paclfic, 1,016 tons, SH FOLLY LZLER, ws SANTA E More Re S| West nd Frelght. Chicago rallroad officials were considerably worked up Wednesday over the report that the Unfon Pacific had cut the rates between Missouri river points and Denver to half the reduced tariff made by the Santa Fe. Union Pacific officials deny that any such cut has been made. They assert that the Union Pa cific is not in the rate cutting business. They say that they have been compelled to meet the rates put into effect by the Santa Fe and other roads.
