DEMOCRATS ARE WARMING UP Heat of the Preliminary Skirmish is Now at Its Extreme, COUNTRY DELEGATES IN GREAT DEMAND Py J Machine Adherent Says South Omaha Delegates Are “To Be Seen”—Dr. Hipple Slated for County Committee Chatrm Today's democratic county convention will be a warm c1e. The plan of the How- pll-Herdman machine to adjourn the con- #entlon after the selection of the delegates 10 Grand Island, and leave the nomination of candidates for county attorney and the Jegislature go over until late ln;fle sum- mer has been abandoned since the bdsses are mot sure of thelr footing in the county con- wention. Ed. Howell now declares that Sat- mrday's convention will do all the work mapped out for it in the call before It ad- Journs, and his opponents want just such Mction. Although the primaries were held Thurs- Bay, the preliminary fight for the county attorneyship nomination is not over, by any eans. Both factions were working hard yesterday to gather in as many of the country delegates as they could, for it the country delegates who hold the balance of power. “Boas” Howell claim¢ that English will get 106 votes from the city of Omaha, but the other side concedes only ninety-four. In counting his 106 votes Howell includes ffteen of the twenty delegates from the Bixth ward, while the Abbott wing is posi- tive that it has fifteen of the Sixth warders. A canvass of the delegation by & reporter for The Bee shows the Abbott estimate to be the correct one and therefore ten vot may safely be deducted from Mr. Howell's ity plle. Then the boss is taking two more votes fyom the Fifth ward than he has any right to. The rellable estimate of the vote of the Omaha delegates is 94 for English and 51 for Abbott, While English bas the better of the Omaha delegation, Abbott Is ahead in South Omaba, having the right to expect forty- three votes out of the fifty-one allotted to that city. Thus it is figured that from the two cities Abbott will have 84 and English 102 votes, nearly an even break. It is up ko the ffty-elght country delegates to bettle the contest. John J. 0'Connor, one of the chief rooters of the Howell-Herdman camp, although he claims to have won out at the primaries, Was not in a very kindly humor Friday morn- Ing. “They say Abbott has won in South Omaha,” he exclalmed, “but how many votes will he get from there in the con- Not one! Not ope, I tell you. uth Omaha delegation s to ‘be seen.’ # ¢ Harry Miller has any money let him see Bhem today, and we'll see them tomorrow." Dr. A. H. Hipple s slated by the How- ell-Herdman Jacksonian wing of the party for the chairmanship of the demo- fratic county committee. It is sald that *Boss” Howell s willlng i pics up the dtle, although he is not expected to cease being the dowinating part of the machine, Even If Abbott is nominated for county Mtorey it 1s likely that the old maching 11l be continued, bepause & bumber of bbott men—itke Shields, B4 P. Smith and J. Duan—are opposed to delivering the anization Into the hands of the Douglas County Demecracy. Semator John Liddell ® aald to be the favorite of the aati- Howell people for county chalrma: “One of the amusiug incldents of e prie maries was the refusal to accept the vote of John J. Mahoney fn the Seventh without a certificate from the city clerk to show that he was registered as a democrat. Ma- honey has been a democratic worker in Douglas county ever since “Bill" Snowden crossed the Missour!, and at one time was the democratic head of the county poor farm and hospital. When he appeared at the polling place In Sheeley, after wading through mud almost knee deep to get there, and was informed by fellow demo- crats who had famlillarly called him John for twenty years that his name was not on the democratic roster, his astoniehment was so great that the cob pipe between his teeth dropped to the ground. Mahoney found a hack and went to the city hall post haste for a certificate PARDON OF THOMAS SULLIVAN Copy of aper from Governor's Office Just Reaches District Court. pra From Lincoln the clerk of the district court has recelved a copy of the pardon granted by Governor Savage, “for good and sufficlent reasons” not given, to Thomas Sullivan, who was sent to the state peniten- tiary from Omaba January 5, 1899, to serve eleven years for the murder of Thomas Kirkland. His sentence was commuted to four years, two months and four days and allowance made for “good bebavior.” The incident will be remembered as one which cecurred under the Tenth street viaduct, Kirkland and Sullivan becoming involved In & quarrel with negroes. Sullivan at the trial afirmed that he shot at the negroes and hit Kirkland, “his best friend on earth,” by mistake. The long delay which invariably occurs before a copy of a pardon reaches the Douglas county court s one of the lhl:}n that nobody about the court house essays to explain. The governor pardons a Doug- las county man one month and it is always well into the next when the notification is recelved here. The pardoned man mean- while may have crossed the briny ocean, hid himselt on Indl coral strand or lost himself An the Tex Low Rates to Al July § to 9, inclusive, the Nickel Plate Road will sell tickets to Portland, Me., and return at onme fare for the round trip.

DEFENSE DECLINES TO STATE ITS CASE Beginning of Trial in Criminal Court of Timekeeper Rowley, Accused of Padding Packing House Pay Rolls. Martin Rowley's struggle for freedom be- gan In criminal court Friday morning with Judge Baxter on the bench and a special Jury in the box. The defendant has been in the county jail since early last April, when he was arrested on a charge of embezzling $4,800 of the funds of Armour & Co, while acting as that company's general time- keeper at its packing house in South Omaha. The county attorney, in stating the state case to the jury, said that he intended to show that Rowley had secured the money by making out special pay checks to ficti- tlous persons and then encursing the same and cashing them, the roll being so large and the company's cenfidence in Rowley so complete that the peculations were not di covered until after they had been going on for many months. During all the days of his confinement Rowley has steadfastly refused to make any statement or talk of his case, and the outline of the defense by his attorney was awaited with Interest Friday morning, but after the county attorney had finished the former sald: ‘‘We-walve statement to the Jury, your honor,” and his course remains as much In the dark as ever. Saylor Says Rowley Confessed. The first witness called by the state was Charles L. Saylor, general financial mmn for Armour & Co. at South Omaha. He sald that there were four division timekeepers at the plant and that Rowley was the gen- eral timekeeper for more than two years prior to March 31, when he was called upon the carpet to explain the presence on the ay roll of the names of J. D. Kaley, J Schwartz, a Smith and a Walker, whom no one else seemed to know. He stated to Saylor, witness sald, that the men were doing some special work for Robert Howe, the general manager. Monday Saylor called him again for a private talk and “told him that it had been learned that no such men had donme any work for Howe. Witness sald that Rowley then admitted that he Fad placed the names on the pay rolls without right, that he had done so “because he needed money” and that he to the plan a number of times. To this line of testimony, attorney for tho defense entered vigorous objection, de- claring that no relation of an alleged confession was proper testimony until the state had proved that the crime charged had been committed. But the court per- mitted the witness to proceed and the lat- ter told of asking Rowley why, if in straitened circumstances, he had not ap- piled to him (the witness) or some other friend for assistance. He sald that Rowley's reply was that he had not had the heart to do it, had re- #orted to the other means to secure a little money at & time, and that he must have been crazy when he did it. Witness sald further that Rowley eald in this second in- terview he bad gone over some of the books since first asked about the matter and was surprised to find that the total must be more than $2,000. Saylor's testimony occupled until poon. M years. will be held from family 8 Genica. 1616 ‘Bouth e s Ty am Sunday, June 22 instead of § P m. “Ilum)’. June 21 He leaves a widow, two sons.

The county attorney then announced that Some of the company’s books were on the way frofi South Omaba and would be in- troduced in the afterncon to show the exact mature of Rowley's manipulating. Although allowed the freedom of the Jail office and treated with exceptional con- sideration, the defendant has lost weight during his confinement and appeared fin court Friday morning thin and nervous. Of the hosts of friends who were his three months ago and whom he entertained so generously at his home, just one appeared in the court room Friday morning, and the only ones who sat with the defendant' were his attorney: PIONEER OF BOULEVARD TALKS Tells ualization Board Why Assessment Ought Not to Be Raised. Willlam I Kierstead, secretary of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, has selected the location of his demise He announced to the Board of Equalizatioh Friday morning that he hopes to dle at 4620 North Twentleth street, a spot which he has by the sweat of his own untiring hands reclaimed from the thistle, the dis- carded shoe and the malarial swamp and made Into one of the garden spots of the eartn. The address that Willlam I. made was of an eloquence that paled that other one that William J. made when he told the Chicago convention about making ‘“the prairies to blossom as the rose.” But Mr. Kierstead was not seeking pres|- dentlal nomination. He was defending the assessor of his ward and incidentally the assessment that that gentleman had made on the Kierstead residence place at the sbove number and six eurrounding lois which are also In the Klerstead name. The total was $785 and a nelghbor on Twenty- seventh avenue thought it was not in just proportion to her own. To make matters the more embarrassing, the chairman of the Board of Equalization Is Henry Ostrom, whose place it is Mr, Klerstead's rumored Intent to kidnap at the fall election. Commissioner Ostrom smiled down on would-be Commissloner Kierbtead and invited him to say his little say and not stand around in the way of the men. Mr. Kierstead removed his hat. salaamed three times and told the board of his long ploneering out on the boulevard. He said that when he took those lots they were an eye-sore to everybody, that they were cut up by ravines in which only weeds and tramps could flourish, that they sloped so perpendicularly that he had to sow his &rass seed with a putty blower and rake it With a windlass, that he used to sit up windy nights to keep one lot from toppling over and burying its neighbor, that he had Erown bald standing on his head trying to sight one level spot in the whole premises and that its present splendid condition is but the result of a ceaseless energy and the work of four teams of mules. “Well, would you sell for the returned by the asse rely. No, nor for any other price, gentlemen, T bave made that place what it fs; it has cost some of the best years and best mules of my life and I hope never to leave it. 1 wish to dle there.'

Up to date no steps have been taken to fill the strikers' places and the shop 18 still In idleness, but this state of affairs cannot last long and It has been authentically stated that material develop- ments will come about within the next few days. What these changes or plans ",‘“U be is not known outside of' the private offices of the Union Pacific officlals who have the strike matters In hand. The strikers and officials have had no confer- ence within the past few days and there ls therefore no mutual understanding be- tween them. Neither 1s there any dispo- sltion apparent upon the part of elther to glve In. Each side is convinced of the Justice of its claim. One feature of the strikers' proposition that is particularly dls- pleasing to the company 18 the situation at Armstrong, Kan. It is stated that those bollermakers were given a voluntary in- crease of 3 cents a day last year and now k for 2 cents more. There are fourteen of these men. rike Imminent. The machinists are still demanding an in- crease In their scale and, while no formal proposition has been submitted by them to the company, their affairs are in a very unsettled state. It would not surprise the bollermakers if the machinists should B0 out at any time. The company, however, 1s not looking for any trouble from the machinists. Nor {s the company disturbed over the possibility of the machinists being forced out by the pendency of the bollermakers' strike. It is evident the officials have faith In the early termination of dificulties. Grand President McNiell of the Bofler- makers' union has telegraphed the local strikers that he has gone to Topeka to at- tend to business with the Santa Fe road's workmen and will come to Omaba as soon as his present errand is completed. VALUE OF J. W. TAYLOR'S LEG Is Is Assessed Second Time by Twelve Men of the Distriet Court. Late Thursday night a jury which had left Judge Estelle's court twelve hours before reached the agreement that the city of South Omaha should pay Jobn W. Taylor $1,000 for his broken leg. Mr. Taylor's leg has become one of the permanent fixtures of the district court, It has been a pubject of controversy and legal discussion ever since he stepped into a hole in the sidewalk, a year ago last February, and snapped some ot the bones in it. He sued first in Judge Fawcett's court and got a verdict of §2,000. The judge looked over the verdict and the leg, and finding nothing extraordinary fine about the latter, cut the former to $500 Then one of the jurymen filed an afdayit to the effect that Balliff Morgan, a vener- able man and pur of the twelve true men about the leg in S e | question, while the jury was still deliberat- ing, and Mr. Taylor demanded a new trial on the ground that it was prejudicial for a bailiff to be talking about a defendant's legs when their value was involved. The judge investigated the matter, found Mr, Morgan Innocent, but allowed a new trial. The verdict of Thursday night i the re- sult. civilt W th Record. During the civil war almost 300,000 men were killed or died from wounds recelved in battle. This is an appalling death record, but does not equal that ecaused by indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation and liver and kidney diseases. Since the in- troduction of Hostetter's BStomach Bit~ ters, fifty years ago, the number has been considerably reduced because it {s & sure cure for these diseases and 1s the best health maker known to sclence.

Bushman, who has a large public warehouse at Eleventh and Leaven- worth streets, but does not wish to pay any tax on the goods therein. The con- tents has been assessed at $33,000 and the office furniture and safes at $106. The pro- testant was willing to pay on the $105, but rebelled against paying on the $83,000 worth of sugar, twine and other commodities, be- cause they do not belong to him. “Well, who do they belong to, Commissioner Connolly. “I must decline to tell that,” was the answer. My customers would consider that I had no business to.” He hinted of going into the courts and the commissioners politely informed him that they wished he would. They have had this same sort of proposition decided before and have Do fear of the ruling being against them. Manager Clabaugh and Attorney Pritchett of the gas company appeared before the board and pointed out that the complaint flled against its assessment by George T, “orton was not sufficient because too gen- eral. It falled to designate either real or personal property. Mr. Morton was per- mitted to withdraw it and will file & new one.

Robert McLean of Springfeld, 1L, an organizer for the American Federation of | Labor, is in the city and anpounces that he-will remain for ten days, after which he will go to Denver for an indefinte | time. This is the first pald organizer of the American Federation of Labor to visit Omaha in many years, although the unions affliated with that organization have asked for assistance from time to time.
