RED OF N(N RESlDENT MAN st First Ward Republioan Olub Loyal to Hompe Oandidate. IERCEI‘IEPEAT[DLV SNUBS THE CLUB though Invited to Every Meeting Falls to Ward Meetings. Loyalty to the First ward candidate in the congressional. fight was the keymoto of the meeting of the Firet Ward Repub- Mcan club last evening and each of the jpeakers in turn had something to say upon that subject. The regular business of the meeting, ‘which consisted simply in the adoption of the constitution and bylaws, which had been referred back to the committee for slight siterations In wording, ~ was promptly disposed of and the remainder of the evening was devoted to a sort of “ex- perience meeting,” as it was termed by one of the members. The various mem- bers presént’ were called upon and ex- pressed thelr views, each in his own man- ner, the principal and almost the only toplc being the congressional contest. Isaac 8. Hascall, who had been absent from the last meeting, sald that the con- stitution which the club had just adopted fayored the people of the First ward and he was heartily in accord with that pria- ciple. He belleved that the voters of the ward should see that a delegation was sent to the conventlon for the candidate of the First ward, Mr. Cornish, and under those eircumstances they could not be charged with emnity or unfair treatment toward “‘Mercer h enjoyed five , “and by this time should be put back on thc shelf, and as long a8 a question has been raised a to Mercer belng a resident of Omaba, I believe that the voters should take ti into consideration.” He hoped the mem- bers of the club would vbte for Mr. Cor- nish and a First ward delegation for Cor- nish would exercise a very Important in- fluence in the convention, for the First ward ‘whd always called upon to vote first. Dr. Ford spoke in much the same strain; saying Wé fully belleved that if the First ward could secure the nomination of Mr. Cornlsh ‘he would be elected. BSamuel Seott, vice president of the club, oceupled the chair, in the absence of the president, and he commented upon the ahsence of Mr, cer from the club meet- inge, ‘He ald: “It has been suggested that somge of the voters of the First ward asp cowardly in not having proclaimed their attitude in this fight, but I think thére aré others who are cowardly. Mr. Marcer, I am told by our president, has been has held and yet he has not once favored us, ‘slthough all of the other candidates have been here.” E. J. Cornlsh was recelved with great enthustasm and addressed. his fellow resi- mts of the First ward at some length, ihankiog them 1o B friendliness and loyalty. He sald in part: “1 'soe before me a body of men of the First ward who _have never been defeated the harder for me because of this in- equality, I was amused at the remarks of one of my friends the other day. He sald: ‘I find some for you and some againat you, but 1 find no one except members of the congressional committee who say that you have no right to run.’ I promise you that if 1 am ever given the opportunity to name a committee it will not be one which will attempt to bar all other candidates but myselt.” The last speaker was E. T. Farnsworth, a lifelong democrat, who has left that party because of its position with reference to existing conditions. He spoke from the standpoint of a disgusted democrat, who had but recently discovered his right placs, drawing a contrast between the democratic party of the days of James K. Polk and the fusion party of today. Republicans of the Ninth ward met last night at the hall at Twenty-ninth and Farnam streets and organized for the cam- paign by re-electing the old officers: C. 8. Huntington, president; George C. Thomp- son, vice president; Jonathan Edwards, sec- retary, and A. H. Hennings, treasurer. These were named as candidates for dele- gates to the judiclal convention: W. 8. Heller, J. H. Danlels, M. VanHorn. A large crowd was present and speeches were made by local candidates. All pre- dicted republican success in the coming ers endorsed C. 8. Huntington for the nom- ination for county commissioner. The club {ted to every meeting this club will meet every Wednesday evening. TO AID ORPHANS’ HOME FUND 044 Fellows of Douglas County Will Give Their Pienic at Krug Park. The Home Soclal club, which 1s made up of members of the various lodges of 0dd Fellows in Douglas county, will give a plenic at Krug park today, the pro- ceeds of which will be turned over to the grand secretary of the Independent Order of 0dd Fellows, to be devoted to the home endowment fund of the Nebraska state or- ganization for the purpose of erecting a widows' and orphans' home in this state. At present the orphans of 0dd Fellows of this state are cared for in either the home at Liberty, Mo., or the lowa State home, but satistactory progress has been already made in the es fund to build a home In Nebraska. far the work has been mainly carried for- ward In the state outside of Douglas county and about $10,000 has been raised. It is however, hoped and expected that the Douj las county contribution from the proceeds of this picnic and other sources will make a good showing and uphold the credit of the county. The total cost of the home, it is estimated, will be $25,000. An elaborate program has been arranged for today, including a base ball game between Benson and South Omaha teams, a tug-of-war between Omaha and South Omaha, a shooting match, bowling contest, ‘barrow race for women exclusively, me- chanics’ race for union woodworkers only, 100-yard dash (free-for-all), seventy-five yard dash for fat men, twenty-five yard sack race, fifty-yard dash for women, race tor girls less than 15 years of age, egE race for women, poiaio & for b THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATUKDAY, SEP1TEMBEKR 6, 190%. WHITE UNION IS ADMITTED Oentral Laber Unien Recegnises lf‘ Or- ganisation of Hod Oarriers, SOCIALIST PARTY GAINS (TS POINT Succeeds in Having Proposition for Independent Labor Party Given Temporary Quictus—Scheme to Help Union Pacific Strikers. The color line was Indirectly drawn in the councils of the Central Labor union last night, when the promoters of .a new hodcarriers’ union, whose membership is restricted to the white man, won a victory over the old organization which admits black ad white and which at a previous meeting had succeeded in having its rival union denfed representation in the Central Labor union. Local lodge No. 10,130, Hodcarriers and Building Laborers, is the new union which was recently organized by A. K. Willis and which applied for membership in the Cen- tral Labor union, having obtained a charter purporting to be from the American Federa- tion of Labor. Its application for repre- sentation was denled and the charter and organization denounced as fraudulent. Com- munication was had with Secretary Morri- son of the American Federation of Labor in the meantime, which brought the reply from Mr. Morrison that the charter had been duly and regularly obtalned and that the union deserved represemtation in the Central Labor union. This was granted last night despite the earnest protests of local lodge No. 8,048, the union which ad- mits both races to its ranks. Socialists Win Out. The soclalist element of the Central Labor union succeeded in reversing a former ac- tion of the central body last night and gaining a victory. The proposition recently made through a communication from the Central Labor unfon of Milwaukee, a strong soclalist body, for the co-operation of the Omaha Central Labor union in the promo- tion of the soclalist party, was adopted in an indirect manner. The local meat cutters brought this about in a letter which they addressed to the Central Labor union, urg- Ing against the adoption of a recént motion of the central body that an independent political party be formed in Omaha, that would rival the soclalist as well as the other parties, and recommending that “we will not be a party to this move, as a bona- fide labor communication made it plain that “'bonafide party” referred to was the soclal- ist party and for it the support of the Cen- tral Labor union was sought and accorded by the adoption of this proposition by an overwhelming vote of the-central body. William Taylor, Ed Foster and H. 8. Armstrong, a committee from the Typo- graphical union, appeared before the meet- ing and presented a plan of their union for ralsing funds for the Union Pacific strikers. The plan was heartily approved and adopted. The scheme was that the delegates urge upon their respective lodges the levying of a weekiy tax of i0 cenis per capita to be boa, three-legged race and various other sports. The prizes have been presented by the retail and who have never made an unfair fight. At times I have had them against me and I have had occasion to know it, for they made their. fight in the open. At other times I have had them with me and I have also felt the effect of that.” Mr. Cornish discussed his vmbocu of nomination in a most hopeful m: Others. who spoke briefly were C. C Sunblad, Peter Back and F. W. Koetter. The club will hold {ts next meoting y. evening In Natlonal hall on street, and the Second Ward also meets on that ni, ‘be made to consolidate the two isto one big meeting. el The Sixth Ward Republican club last night declded to curb the verbosity of speakers and adopted a rule whereby all candidal dre limited to ten-minuté speeches and all others to thirty minutes. R. O. Fink announced his candidacy for nomination for state senator, which an- mouncement was recelved in good part and ‘with,chéers by members of the club. The second speaker, John T. Cathers, also eandidate for the state senate, en- tered upon a discussion of state lesues, arraigping the fusion party for hypocrisy in denouncing the influence of corporations in polities and state affairs and nominating carporation attorneys for office. W. A. DeBord referred to his candidacy for ocounty attorney and pledged himself, 1f elected, to fill the ofice without fear or favor. Then . came songs by the Roosevelt quartet and a short talk by N. C. Pratt, who referred to the opportunities of Am fcans, In spite of sporadic attempts of blased committees, to deny equal opportu- nities ‘to candidates. “The party will not stand for unjust action on the part of such committees, and I that In this con~ gressional district the people will arise in their might and compel the committee to merchants, CHRONIC DIARRHOEA Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's Colle, Cholera and Diarrhoen Remedy. “My father had for years been troubled with chronic diarrhoea and tried every means possible to effect a cure, but all to no avall John H.

The result is one bottle of it cured him and he has not suffered with this disease for over elghteen months.

The delegates found time to revamp the old brewery workers-firemen controversy, and after losing much time, finally came to a temporary settlement of this It was decided mot to unseat the brewery workers' delegates unt!l after the annual meeting of the American Federation of Labor, when it is expected final disposition of this and similar cases will be made. The matter was brought up on a motion to re- consider the vote of a recent meeting by which the brewery workers' delegates expelled from the Central Labor union's meetings and denled s In connectlon with this decision a motion he was a constant sufferer.

ANOTHER GROCERY HOLDUP John Miller Up at End and Take His Money. of G Another robbery at revolver point oc- curred last night, the victim being John Miller and the perpetrators two young men. At 9:20 o'clock Miller was sitting alone In his grocery store at 1501 Vinton street. The robbers,. with handkerchlefs ' over their faces, entered at the front door. One placed a revolver against the chest of the grocery- man and the other stepped around the counter and rified the cash drawer, which contained, fortunately, only $5. The man seemed to know just where to look for the drawer and had probably been in the place before. After taking the money the two quickly made an exit and have mot since been found.

MUNICIPALITY GETS BILL FROM COUNTY rding Prisoners and W Away—More Talk of & Tannery in Magle City. ' City Attorney Murdock and City Engl- neer Beal will preseat adverse reports on the petitions presented for the opening of N street. This information was ascer- talned yesterday, when it was supposed that there might be a called meeting of the city council. Mr. Murdock asserts that he cannot approve the petition for the reason that the Brubacker tract, which extends from Thirteenth to Sixteenth as never been dedicated to the tract, mccording to the rec- ) condemned by action of the council In 1892, but by some hook or crook the money was pald to the wrong party and the proper transfer was never made. The city therefore has no title to the prop- erty and Mr. Murdock insists that it will be necessary to recondemn the property before a petition for grading can be con- sidered by the mayor and council. In order to comply with the conditions of the petition Mr. Murdock asserts that it will be necessary for the city to start all over again and condemn the property needed. As this work will take some time, there I8 no hope of the street being opened to the river this year. County Sends BilL County Clerk Miller has sent to the mayor and council a bill for $13,575.35. This is the amount paid by Douglas county for the board and lodging of prisoners sent from South Omaha. Up to January 1, 1902, the bill amounted to $12,647. From Janu- ary 1 to July 81 this amount had been 'n- creased by $027, making the total men- tloned. In a letter which follows the statement Clerk Miller says to the city officlals that an early settlement of the claim is de- sired. This is the same old story which comes up twice a year. The city offictals ert that an arrangement was made some years ago whereby prisoners were to be fed and lodged at the county jail for a period of years. Owing to this alleged agreement the city officials merely place the semli-annual statement on file and that ends the matter. No effori has ever been made here to raise the money for the pay- ment of the claim. It is underetood that the present administration will do the same as in the past and file Mr. Miller's bill.
