THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TIHUKSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1902 LARGE MEMBERSHIP IS NOT DESIRABLE Active Workers in Support of a Prin- eiple Are What Counts in Growth and Influe: of Such a Body. “If the members of this club will devote themselves to fighting soclalism among the classes the organization will in become a vast power, that will need mo raliroad nor board of fire and police com- ‘missioners to back it up.” Thus did B. J. Cornish exhort the McKin- Tey club at the Millard hotel last night. The candidate deviated very widely from his campaign outlines in his speech, giving a homily on “Politieal Clubs,” rather than a boost to his own fortunes. A question arose as to what was the best way to in- croase interest in the club and Mr. Cornish was asked for his ideas. He sald: “I Mke that text, and I am familiar with the subject. The first question that ar'ses s, Are meetings of any value, anyway? My friend Tom Blackburn says to me: “You're a great fellow for meetings, aren't 30u; always addressing somebody? But it don’t amount to a thing.' Well, in spite of that 1 think that meetings do amount to nomething. Their value does not lle In the number of men you move by your talk> They are very few. It you can got twelve men to listen understandingly to you, to try to get your ideas, you have done well, even if there are 500 present. “But the twelve are worth your while, The real advantage in meetings lies in the equipment which is through them imparted 10 others, to these twelve, for example. The suggestions which are thrown out to those 0 do listen and learn are by them scattered far and wide. Thoy use them in discussion with their neighbors, with their fellow workmen, and they are by them bst- ter enabled to handle the questions of the an, # for this club, its membership is suf- flclent for a growth Into the ideal strength, & moral one. A large membership means Jthat men will join your club merely to use it. That m ruin. A large membership ,8ls0 means that the club will itselt try to 'use its strength to place some popular member in office. This also means ruin ‘for the club. It will not outlast more than one such campaign. “But use your club as a vehicle of Hthought.

Troop, candidate for the nom county attorney, was another speaker. ‘The West Side Republican club met last night in Ruhe's hall, Fortieth and Leav- worth stree! J. D. Nathanson was wlocted secretary of the club and a com- mittee consisting of 8. Macleod, Frank Johnson and Charles Ruhe was appointed to draft oconstitution and bylaws for the club. Congressman Mercer, M. A. Hall and F. G. Davis, B, F. Morearty and W. B. Christie ‘made addresses. 'The club will hereafter meet every Wednesday night in this hall. Second ward republicans held a well-at- tended meeting at 1423 South Sixteenth street last night. Nelson C. Pratt and W. A. DeBord made speeches, in which they re- viewed the triumphs of the republican party. Willlam Neckl was indorsed for as- Wessor of the Second ward. The next meet- 1 of the club w!ll be next Wednesday ning at the same place. The Seventh Ward Republican club, being unable to secure the tent it had hoped to ratse on Park avenue, will resume its reg- ular weekly meetings at the hall at Twen- ty-seventh and Leavenworth streets tonight. President Thomas apnounces that several good speakers will address tonight's gath- ering, and & large attendance of the club members {s desired. 'RETAILERS COME TO OMAHA Trade Excurs| Brings Many Buyers from lowa and Nebraska Polnts. Sixty merchants of Jowa and Nebraska reported at the Commercial club rooms yes- Werday as the result of the second day of the second trade excursion of the season. These wvisitors left thelr receipts to be vized by A. H. Jacobs, joint agent of the railroads, ‘m arrived from Chicago yesterday for A\the purpose. The certificates are good until " Baturday evening, and many of the mer- hants who are coming into the eity will joint agent E i Es (13 Ik i il EFE in until Just before they leave for home, From present indications it is belleved that more people will come to the city this week than have taken advantage of the previous trade excursions. Hot days followed by cool nights will breed malaria in the body that is billous or costive. Prickly Ash Bitters is very valuable at this time for keeping the stomach, liver and bowels well regulated. BRICKLAYERS RESUME WORK Many Umion Men ak from the Ranks of the Strikers, Away True to the threats made Tuesday night in thelr meeting hall, many unlon brick- layers returned to work yesterday on the new Unfon Pacific shops. They were among the number who struck last Friday in re- luctant obedience to the order issued by the Bullding Trades council, through Busi- ess Agent C. A. Stevenson. This action widens the breach in the Bricklayers' unfon. As has been stated, the order for a strike of the men at work on the new shops was issued by Business Agent Stevenson Wednesday last, on the grounds that thres nonunion carpenters were at work on the bulldings. This order was lIgnored, it is sald, on the advice of the president of the local Bricklayers' unfon, John H. Withnell, and the strike did not become effective until Friday, when the order of the Building Trades councll was répeated. Mr. Withnell, It is reported, was fined $100 for his actlon. It e that bricklayers returning to work on the new shop bufldings during the pendency of this strike will be fined $100, In Gefault of which they will be ex- pelled or suspended from the unfon. The feeling on both sides is running high. The faction led by the Bullding Trades council Is exerting its influence to pull the other men off the work, while the Insurgents are determined to hold out against official ac- tion. The carpenters and hodearriers refuse to return to work on the bufldings so long as the strike exists, and the plumbers, meeting Tuesday night, took no action at a The Dullding Trades coyncil dectded to stand by the strike and see that its orders were enforced. The meeting of the bricklayers, as has been sald, brought forth two results, one inspired by the insurgent faction, who re- fused to abide by the order of the council and avowed its intention of going back to | work; te other the work of the friends of the council, who were opposed to breaking the strike. The Union Pacific is making the most of the dissension among the bricklayers and preparing to increase its forces on the bufldings with outside help. Yesterday twelve nonunion carpenters were intro- duced, having been shipped in over the Wabash. Tuesday twelve local Unton Pactfic carpenters were put to work on the shop bulldings, but. seven deserted, refusing to take the places of strikers. W. W. Arnett, employment agent for the Union Pacific, brougt to the city yesterday morning forty-tbree men from Buffalo to go to work in the shops. One of the crowd, unfon man, deserted upon arrival. The men claim to Rave been hired with a guaranty of 32 to 34 cents an hour for nine hours, pay and a half for overtime and Sunday; and to be placed to work on the premium system. A Union Pacific offictal sald that this ad- dition to the shop forces brought them up to normal in all departments. The fact that the Unlon Pacific has ceased preparations for housing its shopmen during the winter is taken as an indication of the company’s Intentlon to_settle the strike 8o0h ds the néw shops ire completod. Machinists yesterday received a check from St. Paul for $200 and one trom Spokane | ™ for $175 to apply on the strike benefit fund. In the morning correspondence came a le ter from Cheyenne saying that twenty-five nonunioh men had deserted the shops there and that three had been discharged for in- competency. North Platte reports eleven desertions. In its efforts to restore the bullding forces to thelr normal status the company yes- terday ordered thirteen of the bridge work- ers to begin operations on the new shops. One of the thirteen complied and the other twelve quit rather than take strikers' places. They were all offered the union ecale of §$3.60 a day. Some of the twelve who quit had been in the employ of tl Unlon Pacific as long as eighteen years. None of them was a member of any unjon. LOCAL BREVITIES.

NO CITY FUNDS IN SIGHT FOR THEM Plans for Carmegle Library Nearly Completed—Sub-Station of Post- ofice to Be Put in at Stoek Exchange. There !s a constant demand for more fire hydrants and electric street - lights. = At the present time 202 water hydrants are in service, not counting the Intermediate hydrants. These cost the city at the rate of $60 a year and every six months a bill for $6,076 is rendered. This means a pay- ment of over $12,000 a year for water. There remains at the present time only $491 In the fire and water fund and conmse- quently the Omaha Water company will not locate any more hydrants or extend the service until there is some money in sight. It is the same with the electric light company. The city malntalns 104 electric lights, but there is only $607 In the fund to pay for these lights during the balance of the fiscal year and so the lighting com- pany has decided to take no chances. No- tices will be served by both the water and light companies to the effect that no more hydrants or lights will be installed unless there 1s money in aight to meet the pay- ment. These notices when served will be a dis- appointment to a great ‘many people who are bullding ‘homes in' the suburbs and who desire lights and water. Plans Already Drawn. Plans for the proposed Carnegle library are about completed. A portion of the working plans were submitted to a meet- ing of the library board held yesterday aft- ernoon and were approved by the members present. It is figured that the building will be of stone and that the interior will contain rooms and shelves to hold 30,000 books, while at the present time the Li- brary association has not over 1,000 vol- umes, including government reports. In ad- dition to the rooms provided for the use of those who will visit the library there will be an assembly ball, which will seat about 300 people. Word is expected from Mr. Carnegie's agent in a couple of weeks regarding the donation promised to South Omaha for library purposes. Sub-Station Ordered. A substation for the handling of mail has been ordered to be established at the Exchange bullding on September 15. These orders left Washington a day or {wo ago and will doubtless be carried out by Post- master Etter. In speaking of the matter last night W. J. C. Kenyon, general man- ager of the Unlon Stock Yards company, #aid that no arrangements had as yet been made for the use of apartments in the Ex- change bullding. It is the Intention of the postal department to handle money orders, stamps and dispatch mail from this sub- station. The dellveries of mail will be made the same as usual from the postoffice ! at Twenty-fourth and M stree Still Need C1 The alleys all over the city, and e-pc- clally those in the business part, are in neéd of cleaning, but for some reason no attention scems to be paid to the motices served by the sanitary inspector. Rubbisi of all kinds s thrown into the alleys. The attention of a number of councilmen has been called to the condition of alleys in the vicinity of the city hall, but far nothing has been done toward cleaning up. While the city authorities censure, Wescott, the garbage master, for what is termed lect, there is no improvement noticeable in his work. Attendance at P Sehools. All ¢t the public schools are being well sttended, but Superintendent McLean can- not report positively on the attendance un- til the meeting of principals, which will be held at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. When the principals report there will be a mem- oranda made of the attendahce and a com- pariscn with the census. With very few ex- ception the schools are all filled and some are crowded. Connelly Goes West. J. C. Connolly, a stockman from Buffalo, Wyo., who was injured in the yards on the night of August 11, was able to leave the ‘hospital yesterday and left for his home in Wyoming. Mr. Connolly 1 well known cattle man and his injuries are attributed to the negligence of trainmen. It was necessary for surgeons to amputate both feet and he will be compelled to use crutches the rest of his life. As for his treatment here Mr. Connolly asserted that he was given the best of care by the hospital association and that he had a warm spot In his heart for South Omaba. Vielates Parole. Captain Troutman of the police force ar- rested Albert Dahl yesterday' for violating his parole, It is alleged that Dahl was given a parole from the penitentiary in Illinois after serving two years on a fourteen years' sentence. As he falled to comply with the conditicns of the parole notices were sent out and he was picked up by the police her Cowbey Carmival. About fifty members of the local livestock exchange will go to Hyannis, Neb., on Sep- tember 11 to attend the cowboy carnival. The party will meet stockmen from that sec- tion of tho country and icipate In the carnival. The return trip will be made on September 1%.

GALES ON ENGLISH COAST Steamship Service s 8 nded, While There s Great Anxiety for the Fishing Fleet. LONDON, Sept. 3.~Violent gales have swept over the west coast of England. At Blackpool steamship services are snapended and thére have been heavy damages at Ryhl, Wales. Anxiety is felt for the safety of the fishing fleet. The gale was severely felt at Belfast, Ire- Jand, where torrential rains flooded the stre Business there is at a standstill. teat Northern railroad station and the opera house are flooded. In Devonshire considerable damage was done to the crops by 8 furious gale. All the tents of the artillery camp at Okehamp- ton were blown away. | The streets of ulhlltp( county Antrim, Ireland, .are several feqt under water and household goods are . foating ‘about. The people are being removed from their houses in boats. The gale was very severe at Plymouth.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS OF CHEMISTRY Summary of an Ofelal Monegraph on Wy-Produwets, Thelr Origin and Their Commercial “Chemistry, llke a prudewt housewife, economizes every sera) says & néted sclentist in a recent lecture. To reslize the extemt to which what waa formerly the waste and refuse of factories are now utflized it 1s only necessary to read the bulletin on by-products, just issued by the census bureau. The bulletin was prepared by Henry G. Kittredge of Boston, an ex- pert in manufacturing processes, & sum- mary of which ia taken from the New York Sun: While methods and processes for utiliz- ing wastes and by-products have been con- stantly developed for many years past, it appears from Mr. Kittredge's report that the advances made in this dirention during the it d have been particularly notable and advantageous in the economy of manufacturing. Chief Statistician North says in his letter of transmittal to the director of the census that, while ‘it is impossible to measure statietically the addition to the wealth of the country created by turning to some useful purpose the residues and by- products which were formerly thrown away or left to rot, the material thus preserved and turned to some useful account is enor- mous and in every instance ocited in the report this stilization has resulted in a definite cheapening of the cost of t products to the comsumers. Mr. North says: “The subject is one that is vitally asso- clated with the progress of every industry nd ol rably connected with the de- velopment and prosperity of every form of manufacturing. It has engaged the time and attention of the chemist and ineited the ingenuity of the inventor and the skill of the artisan to effect economies and re- veal new utilitles. No branch of ecience has been appealed to and relled upon so persistently as chemistry.” Farther Development Expeet Mr. North says it would be assuming too much to declare that the profitable em- ployment of wastes in manufacturing has approximated the highest point to which science is capable of carrying it. ““This point will probably never be reached and further developments must be ex- pected,” he says, “even to the extent of converting by-products into the main pro- duct of an Industry. This reversion is ex- emplified in notable instances within the last decades of the nineteenth century, the most conspicuous of which is to be seen In the revelations of coal tar and the highly developed utilization of its many by-pro- ducts. ““What has taken place within the last 100 years must be accepted more as & fore- runner, a prelude, of what s to come in the arts of manufacturing by the employ- ment of materials now held in low estima- tion as contributory to & high standard of manufacture.’ Mr. Kittredge says that while the cholcest perfumes placed on the market are made from olls and ethers extracted from flowers there are many others which are arti- ficlally ‘made out of bad-smelling ele- ments, The fusel oll obtained in the distillation of spirits has an odor that s peculiarly Qlangroeeable, yet it 1s used after treatment with proper acids and oxidizing agents in making the oll of apples and the oil of pears; and, in addition, the oll of grapes and the oll of cognac are little more than fusel oll diluted. Oll of pineapple Is best made by the mc- tion of putrid cheese on sugar or by dis- tilling rancid butter with alcohol and sul- phurie acid. One of the most popular perfumes has for one of its essential ingredients materiai which s obtalned fi the drainings of cow houses and is al obtained from one of the products of gas tar, out of which is also obtained the oll of bitter almonds, ‘which s so largely used in the manufac- ture of perfumed soap and confectlonery. Utilising Refuse. The refuse of cities throughout the clvilised world is now generally collected and disposed of for sanitary reasons and in many instances it is In addition utilized to good advantages for industrial purposes. Formerly this refuse was simply sccumu- lated and was disposed of by burning It or casting It Into streams or on waste land. Now, benes, glass, rags, iron, paper and other articles are separately collected and sold, Old tin cabs are used for the Tecavery of the solder, for the recovery of the tin and for remelting In the manu- facture of steel or iron. The waste heat from furnaces, into which the inflammable materidl is thrown, may be utilized for steam purposes in operating engines for electric lighting snd power. As an instance of this, the city of Glasgow, Scotland, obtsiva waste heat from such furnaces equivalent to nearly 9,000-horse power per day of ten hours, for manu- facturing purposes. ‘The food wastes of New York City are disposed of by a process which s, briefly, steam digestion and a separation of the cooked products into grease and fertilizer preducts. The solids after being dried and screened are sold to manufacturers of fortilia d by “hem made up lnto grades particularly adapted to the cotton belt. ‘| The greases are nearly all shipped abroad, refined and separated Into various grades —such glycerl red ofl, lard oll and more inferfor classes. The economic uses of furnace slag hlvl Mr. Kittredge says, been greatly developed within the last few years. Formerly this slag was carted away from the furnace and disposed of as waste material and within recent years it was estimated that the cost of removing this waste from the furnsces of Great Britaln was about §2,- 500,000 annually. Now a considerable portion is utllized as a sutstitute for artificial porphyry in the construction of bulldings d fox street pavements. Paving stones are made from It for the streets of Metz, Brussels and Paris. Gcod bricks are also made trom it 4and it can be manufactured into a cement equal to the best Portland. Waste Gases Harmessed. Mr. Kittredge says a very important in- novation in the metallurgical industry is (he utilization of the waste gases of blast furpaces for working gas engines. This Improvement is shown to mean by a theoretlc calculation an additional profit of $1.35 on each tom of pig iron production and this means for Germany alone, nly country where the utilization of thes waste gases has as yet been effected, & #aln cf more than $10,000.000 on its entire wrought-iron production. The report shows that all the products of lumber and timber formerly wasted ape now turned to some utility and some of the new products are of considerable value. Of this class is eawdust, which was tormerly considered an absolut ma- terial and was allowed to ficat down stream or was thrown 1n & heap and disposed of. A way has been found of preparing this material which gives it a value far above that of solid timber. By the process the Particles of sawdust are formed into a solld mass capable of being molded Into shape and of recelving a brilllant polish and possessing a durability beauty of appearance not found in ebony, reseweod or mahogany. Mr. Kittredge says that artificlal woodwork has a most promi future. The production of acetic acld, wood naphtba and tar from sawdust is one of the latest enterprises In Norway, a facto belng now in operation at Fredrik capable of distilling 10,000 tons of sawduat in a year. It also manufactures charcoal briquettes from sawdust. By a recent English patent sawdust may be so prepared as to be non-inflammable and may then be applied to the jacketing of bollers and used for similar other purposes. Experimental Progress. Experiments have been made by which A high yleld of sugar has been obtalned from birch wdust and alcohol can be profitably distiiled from either coarse or fine sawdust, the product being of high quality and trifiing impurities contained in 1t belng susceptible of ready remova The utlifzation of the needle-shaped leaflet of the pine tree either alone or in combination with some other fiber, as cot- ton, has frequently been attempted, latterly with success, to produce an article of com- mercial value for textile or other pur- poses. Near Breslau, in Silesia, there have been erected factories that convert the pine leaves into what is known as forest wool for wadding. Other factories have been erected In difforent parts of Europe for a similar use of these leaflets. The products made from these pine tree leaflets have been exhibited at number of expositions, where they b attracted great attention as fur- nishing suitable material for stuffing mat- tresses and articles of furniture in place of borsehalr, for man: ture into hyglenic fabrics for medical use and for articles of dress such as underclothes, chest protectors, ete, Attempts have been made very recently in Oregon to make use of th leaflets by reducing them to a fibrous condition sult- able for mixing with cotton, te ba spun into yarn for weaving.

Mr. Kittredge treats of & great number of inttances of the utilisation of the wast and by-products of other industries, but they are either top well known to the general public to make mention of them necessary, or else involve technical discus sion of discoveries -in purely sclentific tranches of industry. Those described are the instances which receive a prominent place in the report and are mentioned as among the most important discoveries of the last decade in the utilization of ma- terial that not very many years ago it was not dreamed could be made of use or com- mercially valuabl CARDINAL GIBBONS BETTER Has Serious Allment of the Kidneys, but it May Pass Off Without Great Trouble. BALTIMORB. Sent. 3.—Cardinal Gibbons, who is suffering from a somewhat severe attack of kidney trouble, is resting more easily today than yesterday. Dr, BE. F. Milholland, his attendant phy- |\ siclan, has defined the allment as nephritis. There is supposed to be a calculus forma- tion in the kidneys, which may have to be removed. As his eminence is nearly 70 years old, such an operation might possibly be a tended with some danger. The ¢bstruction, however, his physician thinks, may pass off without giving further trouble. He has led a very temperate and even abstemlous life and his general health is excellent. At & latp hour tonight the physiciana in attendance upon Cardinal Gibbons reported that the condition of his eminence was/very much improved. While the calculus from which his eminence has suffered had not passed, it was considered that it had been reduced to such an extent that an opera- tion for its removal was unnecessary, Inolv r lov Bleyele Company.

The committee expected to hold & meeting last Sunday, but it found itselt without & secretary. Fred Baumann, the sccretary elected last year, has been trans- terred from Nebraska to Iilinols by the ex- ecutive committee of the International Walters' unfon, and B4 Skelsey, his assist- ant, has gone to Denver for his health. A temporary secretary will be elected next Sunday to serve until the convention is held. By the time the soclety meets practically all of the candidates for office will have been nominated by the political parties and the convention, through a committee to be appointed, will canvass the merits of the respective ocandidates as shown by thelr records and make a report to each of the organizations feprosented in the state ore ganization. It is not belleved that decided recommendations will be made in any case, but the records of the eandidates will be passed upon without favor. The report will show whether the candidates have taken any part for or against the laboring man, elther as organized unions or s unorgan- ized working men. Candidates for legisla~ tive offices will be given apecial attention, as the state soclety expects to tal siderable part In the work of the legisla- ture mext winter. Committee on Legin! To represent the soclety before the legis- lature a legislative committee will be se- lected at the coming meeting. This com- mittee will be sent to Lincoln at the ex- pense of the society, with instructions to investigate all bills originating in either house and to discover the bearing each will have upon the laboring people of the state, doing all in its power to advance the bills which they favor and to defeat those which they oppose. There will be some spoclfic matters which will recelve consideration at the conventlon and it is more thap' possible that some steps will be taken to secure pledges from candidates before election as to thelr course when the measure comes up for considera- tion. Thbe most important measurc of this kind is one which will be pushed by the retall merchants of the state to amend the exemption laws. The laboring men of the State are very well satisned with existing conditions in this respect and will oppose any attempt to increase the abllity of creditors to garnishee wages, While the re- tall dealers hope to be able to amend the 1aw so that wages In certain cases can o eld for the payments of the debts of wage earners.

Other bills, some of them entering the do- main of practical politics, such as the elec- tion of certaln officers now appointed by the governor, the Initiative and referendum form of making laws for citles and the state, have been suggested, but It is sald by some of the leaders that the effort of the e | legialative committee will be confined, under amounting to ing g0 The' eompuny 18 to also owe Magoun & 000 to lnutm!ufln' M ta ‘ and ot dobts, in addition to & on outstanding bonds. assets Ven_ at’ §1,751,00, & portion of which, onsidered ot value, Seasonable Fashions. 4219 Long Coat, 32 to 40 .
