A. W.

This work was commenced in the old building where it ! at present located, on Eighteenth street, near £t.

Miller, Guy C. Barton, ¢ W. Lyman, J. I' penter, H. J. Penfold and George . Bidwell, who, with Dr. George L. Miller as president, carried on the work during that year.

Nepraska’s Senatorialw Contegt_ PART 1L In my paper last week I sketched hur- riedly the preliminary steps to the grea senatorial tug of w that was commenced with the first formal ballot on January 15. 1 sald, further, that at the outset no one uctively concerned in the contest antici- pated a deadlock that would extend over the eniire legislative period; on the con- trary, the p alling opinion amoug those most familiar with the situation was that the differences between the candidates would be speedily adjusted and a cholce reached in republican caucus within a very short time which would give two caucus nominces and assure them election in open session. For a while there were great hopes that a caucus would be secured before even the first ballot was taken and that the joint session would meet only once (o ratify the preferences registered in the two houses on their separate ballo The first problem to be solved was the question of caucus. To this end a series of conferences were called, at the suggestion of Mr. Rosewater, to which all the avowed candldates were invited, for the purpo agreeing on common ground. These con- | ferences were attended by Thompson, Rose water, Melklejohn, Hinshaw, Currie and Crounse, Hainer declining to participate, giving as a reason that he was opposed to uny caucus before the ballot should dis- close the relative positions of the respec- tive aspirants. In these conforences [t was agreed (hat a rollcail ballot be preferred over the secret bailot or the optional ballot which had prevailed in the caucus two years previously On the point of majority neceasary to nominate a divergence Thompson and jority caucus, was precipitated Melklejohn wanted a wa or at most one with forty- thres to nominate; Hinshaw opposed go.ng below fifty, while the others favored a two-thirds vote. An agreement scemed imminent on forty-five as two-'hirds of the sixty-seven necessary to nomi On the method of balloting a still gr divergence was dieclosed: Thompson was insistent for the nomination of the short- term man firct, in which he was seconded by Moiklejohn and Currie, while Hinshaw and Rosewater insisted on a simultancous nomination, each member to respend with two names and no nomination (o be effec- tive untll two candidates receive the re- quisite number on the same ballot, Theso conferences would doubtless have resulted In a caucus reement were it not for the premature circulation, certain Thowmpson followers, of a caucus paper em- bodying the Thompson scheme for forty- three to nominate, and one at a time. This was regarded as a symptom of bad faith and hung up the caucus movement over the open session balloting. When the regular balloting had begun and was continued from day to day the pressure for a caucus appeared to be par tlally relieved, although caucus papers with conflicting conditions were In constant cir- culation, no member refraining from sign- ing at least one and many affixing their slgoatures to all of them. In the {nterval the deadlock became a reality. The lines were drawn moro sharply between the v. rious elements and time was given for the mobllization of hitherto unorganized forces. The methods and management of the difterent candidacies demand more careful attention. Admittedly the strongest factor, Thompson and his advisers were in po- sition to select the ground for the fighting and to shape the cauvass largely to their liking. In the popular talk of the legisla- ture the Thompson managers were referred to as the board of strategy. This board comprised a more or less definite member- ship, including Elmer Stephenson, A. R Cruzen, Paul Clark, W. H. Dorgan and A REVIEW a2 a2 a2 By Victor Rosewater others.

Gradually it became plainly apparent that the deadlock was grounded on a fight for supremacy between two opposing railroad combinations.

A, who had been conveniently trans- ferred by the assistant secretary from Jefferson barracks in he might run down to Lincoln every night to help keep the fences in repair. Wether ald was the gulding hand—Slaughter the inspiring spirit. The mansion engaged by Melklejohn as his private headquarters and retreat in addition to his hotel parlors were scarcely less elaborate than the retinue of assistants and onhangers which he ept constantly at his call. I have referred to the federal brigade which was boosting Meiklejohn as a fa- vorite on the theory that he was the true legatee of Senator Thurston and could be depended on to protect them in their offi- cial positions. But they were I effective in their work than the volunteers repre- senting some of the wealthy corporations in officizl capacities and he had favored upon whom he drew for return favors.

In this they were joined by the representatives of the Mizsourl Pacific, ana whatever influence this railroad triumvirate could exert they put forth against Thomp- gon and in behalf of Meiklejohn, as was conclusively shown when the so-called antis lined up almost to & man for this pro- gram, In this connection a word as to the so- calied antls, whose position, I believe, is largely misunderstood, particularly by peo- ple outside of Nebraska. A recent edi- torlal reference in the Outlook fo the breaking of the Nebraska deadlock intl- mates that the antls “were anti-monopoly republicans who had refused to vote for Thompson because they believed he would represent the ra‘'lroad interests rather than the public interests and that the state would better have no representation in the renate than misrepresentation.” Nothing could be further from the truth. While some of them were doubtless prompted solely by considerations of party loyalty, the antis included men regularly or in- directly on the railroad payroll and all ot them got their encouragement and advice from the railroad attorneys who were engineering the fight against Thompson— ostensibly to discipline him for a botrayal of republicanism, in reality to prevent an opposition railroad from installing as a senator a man they regarded most danger- ous to their interests. The antis at the time of their famous caucus walkout bumberel mine; thelr names should be recorded in a review such this. The nine were Oleson, Steele, Whitmore, McCarthy, Broderick, Menden- hall, Swarson, Jouvenat and Evaps. Their ranks were later swelled by the addition of Rohwer, apd at other times they had the co-operation of Owens, Crounse, Mar- tin, Hathorn and Cain.

When this annual report was presented to the board of managers it was very ap- parent that the institution nceded more wholesome quarters, more room for play- ground for the children, and many other things which were denied by reason of the limited quarters to which the institution was confined, and the minds of the board of managers were all centered upon some 80- lution of tbese difficult questions. While laboring under these difficulties, and during the late autumn last pust, some of the In- mates were attacked with smallpox, upon which the Board of Health quarantined the institution. The number of lumates at this time was almost at its maximum, and the Board of Health discovered what the man- agers had previously discovered—that the institution was entirely inadequate in its sanitary requirements, and that it must be entirely reconstructed upon sanitary prin- ciples to be longer occupied. Under stress of circumstances, therefore, the board de- termined to meet the situation in the most courageous manner, and secured a piece of ground o2 Ohlo street, facing Eighteenth 19 street, 87% x 180 feet, for the founda- tion for a new and modern institu- tion for this work. To acquire prop- erty, Incorporation was necessary, and the Institution I8 now incorporated under the name of the Childs' Sav- ing Institute of Omaha, with Guy C. Bar- ton, C. W. Lyman, E. A. Cudahy, J. F. Carpenter, H. J. Penfold and George F. Bidwell as trustees, who have elected as oficers George F. Bidwell as president; C. W. Lyman, treasurer; J. F. Carpenter, secretary, and A. W. Clark, superintendent. The first thought of the board of trustecs in acquiring this property was that the bullding occupying the ground might be made to answer the present requirements of the institution, but examination and dis- conclusion that for an institution which would be a credit to the city and meet the growing demauds of the work, the trustees must provide very much enlarged and more modern quarters for the institution. Thomas L. Kimball was called into the counells of the board and evolved a plan upon which two wings, 18x30 - feet each, consisting of two stories and a basement, con- stfucted of brick and stone in the most permanent and substantial manner, with all modern improvements for a first-class institution, should be added, one on the east and the other on the west side of the present bullding. The Interior of the pres- ent structure s also entirely rearranged $0 a8 to harmonize. Plans Indorsed by Physicians, The plans for the entire institution have been submitted to the followlng members of the medical staff of the institution: Dr, H, H. McClanahan and Dr. H. 8. Lyman, con- sulting physicians; Dr. E. B. Pollard, Dr. A. C. Stokes and Dr. 2. E. Womesiey, at- tending physiclans; and have been revised to meet the requirements from the physi- clans’ standpoint. The cost of this work including the property, 1s estimated at $10,000, exclusive of furnishings. The fur- nishing has beem undertaken by the ladies of the nursery committee, consisting of: Mrs, A. M. Clark, president; Mrs. M. J. Matthews, secretary; Mrs. D. D. Oule treasurer; Miss Frances Perry, collector. Mra. W. D Williams, Mrs. Ed Diekinson, Mrs. W, Stephen, Mrs. G. F.

Matthews, Mrs. R, A, White, Mrs. W. H. Garrett, Miss Harriet Wells, Mrs., W. B. Webster, The work is entirely non-sectarian, as is trustees. It is intended to meet the ap- proval of all classes of the community, re- gardless of religious, political or social opinions, and needs the support of all. Expenses of the Institate, The expenses of the institution during the flscal year ending October 31, 1000, were $5,489.16, which was met by subscriptions from a multitude of individuals, who, un- solicited, contributed from a penny to $100, and this met a cousiderable portion of the expenses, while the remainder was taken care of by friends of the institution, who were solicited to lend their aid by the active workers in the institution. The expense of $10,000 for purchase, con- struction and equipping of the new institu- tion, outside of furnishings, must be met by the friends of charity. About one-halt of the amount has been subscribed within the membership of the board of trustees About $5,000 is left to be raised by public subscription QUAINT F TURE Mrs. James Little, who lives near Atchison, Kan, who was herself & twin and whose husband was a twin and the son of a twin, has given birth to her second pair of twins, the first pair being about -8 months old when the second pair made its appearance, OF LIFE, While John Kegan of Abilene, Kan., was out glving his hounds exercise the other day the dogs started a rabbit and gave chase.
