LEAVING THE MERCER SHIP Republioans Put on Nenresident's Delogate Tiokets Refuse to Run. FOUR PULL OFF IN SOUTH OMAHA ALONE Printing Committee Arranges Form of the OMeclal Ballots with Antie Mereer Tickets In the First Column, South Omaha was in evigence before the printing committee of the republican county committee yesterday morning. When the rommittes met to prepare the ballots for the primary to be held Priday three of the men Wwho had been selected by the Mercer forces for delegates to the county couvention and one who had been selected for delegate to the comgressional convention declined to run. These men were Gust, Hedgren from the congressional delegation and W. A. Kitzberger, J, Willlams and J. Dworak from the county delegation. Their resignations were accepted, and upon motion of Joseph Koutsky their names were omitted from the ballot. The declination of Joseph Christensen was recelved, be refusing to serve on the Mercer county delegation in the Sixth ward, and the resignation of Charles F. Johnson, & delegate from the Fifth ward, was also received. In both cases It was decided not to place the names on the tickets. The question of the arrangement of the tickets on the ballot was then considered John L. Plerce moved that the Mercer dele- gations be placed In the left-hand column on all ballots in each ward and precinct in the county. Harry Zimman moved an amendment to the effect that the prefgrred position be given to delegations, Meroly o anti-Mercer, according to the time of their fillng. Tho champlons of Mr. Mercer pres- * t the committee meeting objected to this, as Mercer's delegations had all been filed with T. W. Blackburn Monday and were not flled with the county committee until just before noon Tuesday. Finally Joseph Koutsky moved that in every case the anti-Mercer delegation be placed in the | left-hand column and this amendment pre- valled by a vote of two to one. 1t was then decided that all names appear on the ticket in alphabetical order and that a mark in the circle to the right of the | delegation would vote for all of the names that delegation. The Weekly Independ- it was awarded the printing of the ballots | of South Omaba and the Omaha Printing company those for the city and county out- side of South Omal The secretary was ordered to prepare the ballots in the order named and the printin; committee adjourned until 4 o'clock in the afternoon to approve the copy before it is sent to the printer. Charles W. Fear, a printer employed by the Dally News and & man widey and fa- vorably known in union labor circles, is the latest candidate to enter the lists in the Righth ward. Mr. Fear has been out of the city on a short vacation and when he re- turned announced his candidacy for repre- seatative in the legle re. The announce- ment has been glven a favorable reception, the candidate has a host of warm friends in his home ward. The fortunes of his can- ‘didacy have been cast with the anti-Mercer legation, as has that of Van B. Lady, the ‘ward's other candidate for the house. Mr. Lady s with the Bankers Reserve Life com- pany, and aside from a high standing In business: circles he enjoys wide popularity ‘with the republican voters of his ward. Another Eighth ward candidate whose for- tunes rest with the anti-Mercer delegation is George F. Munro, who aspires to the state senate. Mr. Munro is a well known grocer and has taken an active part in the battles of the republican party for years. He bad the support of his ward for the nom- ination for county commissioner last year, whon there wi some doubt as to which district was to elect a mémber, and he will doubtless have it this year for the senate. Candidates for the republican nomination for county attorney are plenty, and the fact that all but one of them have alighned themselves with the anti-Mercer forces is another Indication that the nonresident con- gressman is not very generally credited with the strength necessary to win out at the primaries. A. W. Jefterls of the Eighth ward is the only aspirant to the county at- torney's office who has gone in with the Mercer outfit, and he long ago forfeited any clalm that he ever may have had on the reg- ular republicans of the county. Aside from Jefteris, the candidates are Jacob L. Kaley of the Fourth ward, C. W. DeLamatre of the Fifth and B. F. Thomas of the Seventh, all of whom are against the renomination of the nonresident candidate for congress end therefore opposed to the Mercer dele- gations for the county convention. Bvery ward In the city, with the excep- tion of the First, has from one to four can- didates for the bouse of representatives. In the Becond ward 8. A. Corneer and Fred Behm appear: ip the Fourth Charles F. Tuttle, the well known lawyer, is & candidate; In the Fifth George Redman comes up with the endorsement of the ward club; in tbe Sixth W. R. Homan, Charles H. Lear and Herman Timme are In the fleld; the Seventh presents F. G. Davle, the Bighth Charles W. Fear and Van B. Lady and the Ninth E. M. Morsman, jr., and W. A. Gardiver, For the senate George A. Mead of the Third, L. N. Gonden and J. A. Sunderland of the Seventh, George F. Munro of the Bighth and M. A. Hall of the Ninth are in the running. All of these are understood to be antl-Mercer candidates, and then there is Charles L. Seunders, a Mercerite, in the Fifth ward. E. D. Evans of the Sixth and George B. Bady and Willlam Arnold of the Fifth ward are cendidates for county commissioner in the Fifth commissioner district. | dorse any candidate, but does not | One of the |that it places the securities lssued by the ‘eity in the hands of the citizens. the renomination of Congressman Mercer, and the placing of two delegate tickets for each the congressional, county and judicial conventions in every ward but the Ninth, the county committee comes in for a nice windfall. There are 206 candidates for county delegates, 155 for congressional delogates and 54 for judiclal delegates In Omaha and South Omaha, and a fling fee of $2.00 had to be paid to the county com- mittee for each one of these. The total of 415 delegates filings therefore put into the coffers of the committee the neat sum of $830. The expemse of the primaries, nine o Omaha and ome in South Omaha, will hardly exceed $250, Righty-seven members strong, the North Side Second Ward Republican club sprang into being last night in Minicus hall, at Twentleth and Plerce streets, and on the tanner which It flung to the political breeze were emblazoned the anti-Mercer delegations from that ward. Ausplefous in fts ineipiency from the fact of its large charter enroliment, the club further proved its passage under a lucky star by holding as an initial meeting one of | the most rousing political gatherings ever known In the Second ward. Organization was the first order of business and John C. Lynch was elected president by acclama- tion. 1In response Mr. Lynch said: “This is an hanor totally unexpected by me, but I assure you that fo be elected to the presidency of a club destined to wield such a strong influence in the republican politics of this ward is the proudest achieve- ment of my life. I do not deserve this of- fiee when our membership list contains Dames of 50 many men more worthy than 1, yet sinbe it is your wish I accept It." Willlam Westergard was made secretary of the club and Michael Minicus treasurer Resolutions were passed endorsing the anti- Mercer conggessional delegation from the Second ward, man by man. President Lynch then called upon E. J. Cornish, can- didate for congress. Mr. Cornish spoke for half an hour, belng frequently interrupted by cheers. He recalled the events of his eighteen years in political life here, which Justified his asking for the coming nomina- tion. He expounded the principles of the republican party in which he belleved. A large crowd was present when Chair- | {man Turner called to order the meeting of Ithe West Side Republican club at Fortieth and Leavenworth streets last night. Party members from the Seventh and Ninth wards were there In joint session. Congressman Mercer had been Invited to attend and speak, but found it impossible to appear in the ward from which he only has a dele- gatlon on county and congressional tickets. Congressional candidate John P. Breen, however, was present and made a stirring speech on natlonal topics, not italicising his own candidacy till near the close. Other #peakers were Candidates Robertson and Davies for the state legislature, John F. Stout and Ed Morlarty. At the meeting of the Fifth Ward club last night addresses were made by C. W. DeLamater, candidate for county attorney; L. D. Holmes, candidate for district judge, |and J. B. Bruner, candidate for assessor. There was no club business transacted. Dr. J. C. Moore of the Fifth ward iz an other man whose name has been used with- out authority by the Mercer managers. The doctor's name has been put on the Mercer delegate ticket in the Fifth without his con- sent. To a Bee reporter yesterday Mr. Moore sald: “I am entirely out of politics and I do not want my name to appear on any ticket. The Mercer people asked me to go on thelr ticket in this ward and I told them plainly that I would not consent to it. The first I knew of the use of my name was when I saw It published in the newspaper I am not a candidate and if T am elected as a delegate to the congressiénal convention I wil refuse to serve.” WILL HAVE NONE OF MERCER ed Men Again Adopt Resolutions Denoun the Course of Their Enemy. The colored Douglas County Republican Central league held a stormy meeting last night in its hall at Twentleth and Cuming streets. After a few Mercerites had at- tempted to turn the meeting in favor of that candidate, the following resolution was Introduced by J. G. Pegg and carried: We, the members of the Douglas County Republican Central league, realize that our constitution provides that we shall not en- revent us from condemning anyone who has of- fered an insult to our race. Therefore we do hereby and herein declare that David H. Mercer has insulted our people in the past: first, by refusing to give us any rec- ognition: ‘second, by refusing to appoint DY epresentative of our race: third, by refusing to come to any of our meetings iven in the interest of our r~~», and when ‘'om Johnson and Olle Ja. on went to see him in reference to the appointment of Dr. Ricketts by saying, “Tom, that's too big a job for a nigger. Be 1t resolved, That this resolution be signed by the president and secretary and published in the papers of the city. The meeting endorsed M. F. Singleton for representative.

THE NONUNION MEN LEAVE SHOPS Guards Out Trying to Round Up a Large “Liberty Party.” INJUNCTION WORKS IN TWO WAYS Danger of Interference from Strikers Belng Removed Dissatisfied Work- Take Oceasion to De- the Company. The Union Pacific’s injunction Judge McPherson of Towa issued at the be- hest of Attorney John N. Baldwin against the strikers is working with a reflex a tion. While it has had some effect in con- firming the conservative policy promulgated by the leaders of the strike, it has imposed a hardship upon the company in causing a serlous defection among the nonunion forces in the Omaha shops. A large number of these men left the shops yesterday morn- ing, some reports say forty, as an indirect result of this injunction. This will con- tioue the necessity of hiring more men to keep up the quota in the shops. One of the men who left the shops sald: “3ince we heard of the Injunction being is- sued we have felt a greater security in leaving the works. We naturally sup- posed that If there was any dasger of vio- lence at the hands of the wtrikers, this restraining order would have a tendency to suppress that and enable us to get out of the shops and the city, it we desired, with- out belng molested. As a matter of fact there are a great many men in the shops who sympathize with the strikers and would have gladly left long before had they not been led to believe that in doing so they were taking a bazardous step.” The desertions have caused considerable excitement at the shops. The men left, supposedly to spend a few hours over in the city and return, but they falled to re- turn and guards were detalled to search for them. Lesson of the Tragedy. Strike leaders have been taught a valu- able lesson by the tragedy of Sunday morn- ing. While the responsibility for the mur- der of Earl Caldwell has not been laid at the door of any striker, the fact that it was committed on the picket lines and that several strikers were witnesses to it, one and perhaps another being incidentally in- volved in the gemeral fight out of which the tragedy arose, has had a temporizing influence. The picket forces have been thoroughly reorganized and from mow on this work will be conducted with better system and more precaution than before. 1t will be the purpose to place men of tried judgment and character in charge of the pickets and dispense with minors for this work. As has been stated on previous occa- slons Mike Spellman, one of the men whom Mordica W. Ball charges as his as- sailants, on the fatal night, was lieutenant of a squad of pickets and wee specifically charged with responsitility for the conduct of the men under him. The fact that Spell- man neglected his duty in this direction and became a party to the assault of which he s acoused, has brought upon him loud and severe censure from the strikers and confirmed the leaders in their determina- tion to select sober and rellable men for these positions hereafter. 1t will be the purpose of the strikers to maintain their picket lines just as they did before the injunction was served on them and to prosecute this work with more vigi- lance and precaution than ever. They still insist on belng within thelr rights in pur- sulng this course. “The men ought to be careful to obey every order of the police and do nothing to court or incur trouble,” said Vice Pres- ident Conlon of the machinists. “We are not looking for trouble. We want to con- form with the law in all respects and will discountenance its violation by any of our men.” Ald for the Strikers. Conlon and William Richilieu went to Missourl Valley Tuesday night, where they held a meeting and secured & generous do- nation from a large and enthusiastic crowd of workingmen. The big mass meeting In Washington hall Monday night is consuming time and interest here. The prime object of the meeting 15 to expose the issues hetween the Unlon Pacific and its men in their true| light. The principle of injunctions will be discussed and prominent citizens will be in- vited to participate in this debate. Vice Presidents Conlon, Mulberry and Wison of the International Association of Machinists; John McNell, president of the International Brotherhood of Boller Makers, and R. B. Kerr, secretary of the same organization, will speak. Harry McVea, president of Cen- tral Labor unlon, will act as chairman of the meeting. Special invitations have been sent to the various commerclal organiza- tions of the city to have representatives at the meeting. Jack McKenna, a Union Pacific machinist, who enjoys some local distinction as a comedian, is the vietim of an unfortunate confusion in some quarters with the Jack McKenna who was arrested in connection with the Earl Caldwell murder. His friends, who are numerous, are desirous that every effort should be made to dispel this delusion. Jack McKennma, the ma- chinist, Is perhaps as well known and popu- lar & Union Pacific shopman as there is on the system and enjo an enviable reputa- tion among all his fellows. As has been stated in The Bee, he was not near the tragedy Sunday morning and had nothing whatever to do with ft. e e Amusements. Musical Festival. Miss Helen Hoagland of this city was the star of the musical festival last night, which, by the way, was the closing of the regular season. ‘Miss Hoagland, who is the possessor of a remarkably toned and highly cultivated contralto voice, sang the solo Ritorna Vincitor” from Verdl's “Alda” with such splendid effect that the long-con- tinued applause could be stopped only by the singer granting an encore number, for which she happily selected Landon Ronald's The Rosy Morn.” Miss Hoagland, aside from being given an ovation of applause, was made the récipient of many handsome bougquet: The last of the concerts by the Royal Italian band will be given this afternoon and eveniug, and are supplementary to the regular season, passes and book tickets not being acceptable. The regular meeting of the Ninth Ward Republican club will be held this (Thursday) evening, September 18, at § o'clock at the club rooms, 2818 Farnam street. All candi- dates cordially invited. C. 8.

It is desired to have the co-operation of all the socleties in this parade, which is absolutely necessary in order to make it surpass all previous parades ever put upon the streets of Omaha. The fall festivities are under the aus- pices of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, and this parade being a part of the same is for the benefit of the city and state, and if it 1s, which is proven by the experience of former years, then the entire community, including the fraternal societies, will de- rive their share of such benefit. Owing to some dissatisfaction in former years in awarding prizes for the best floats and uniformed teams it has been de- cided this year to distribute the same sum of money, but in the following manner, believing it to be more satistactory: First—The sum of $40 will be donated to- ward the construction of each float and the number of such floats will be limited to twelve. Second—Selections will be made from sketches to be submitted to the board of governors on September 2, who will meet on that date at 8 p. m., at the Commerctal club rooms Third—No one lodge will be entitled to more than one appropriation for one float. Fourth—No floats will be barred from par- ticipating in the parade, although there will be but twelve to receive the appropriation Fifth—Two Hundred and fifty dollars wili be aistributed pro rata to the lodges rep- resented In the parade by teams and mem- bers In uniform based on the membership they represent according to the last report of_their secretary. Sixth—No lodge will be entitled to both the appropriation for float and distribution for teams and members in uniform Lodges who desire to participate in the parade will please report to C. H. T. Rle- pen, 109 South 15th street, not later than Saturday, September 27, in order that their position may be allotted to them. All music in parade will be furnished by the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben.

A rear-end collision occurred at 7:10 last evening on the Burlington road a short dis- tance from Bellevue between frelght train No. 87 and a special of two freight cars. The way car of the regular traln was smashed up and Fireman Sam May of Lincoln was injured and is likely to dle. At 2:30 he was unconsclous. The injured man was brought to Omaha on a special car sent for him and at 8:35 o'clock Depostmaster O'Connell telephoned to the police station for the ambulance to take him to St. Joseph's hospital.

COAL__I_fi NEBRASKA Two Velns Near Jackson Bear Soft Coal ‘of m Superior Quality. George Cralg, assistant city engineer, has upou his desk a sample of coal mined in the state of Nebraska in the first mire in this state which has ever given promise of de- veloping coal in any quantity. Tuls mine s at Jackson, Neb., on prop- erty leased by Willlam Peterson. Mr. Peter- son has in all several thousand acres of the land and expects to mine coal in large quan- titles. The property has been thoroughly prospected and has shown a three and one- half-foot_vein near the surface and a four- foot veln about twenty feet farther down. The surface vein grades about with the Towa coal, but the lower vein is sald to yleld the best quality of soft coal. Nine tons were taken out of the mine yesterday and work will be continued.

The Elkhorn roundhouse, which has been In course of conetruction fo: months, was completed yesterday. The house |s comstructed of brick and stono and is a very substantial bullding. Twelve stalls for engines are provided, and rail- | road men say that the roundhouse is one of the country. This bullding was put up in conjunction with the improvements which have been golng on in the northwestern part of the city for over a year and a half.

The bridge will be opened to trafic within a few days. Only a little work to the approaches needs to be done, to can be completed this week. May Change Teacher Superintendent McLean spent a portion of yesterday Investigating the recent trouble at Lowell school. While he de- clined to make any statement for publica- tion, it is understood that the superintend- ent contemplates making a number of changes In teachers very soon. While some teachers employed by the board are reported to be able to handle children in & certain locality others placed in the same position merely breed disturbance and cause continual trouble. It has therefore been deemed advisable by the superintend- ent to do some shifting of teachers in or- der that better order and harmony may prevail. That Pile Driver, About two weeks ago a huge piledriver was unloaded at the east entrance to the stock yards, and although the machine has been placed in position no attempt has been made to commence wark of any kind. It was reported at the time the machine arrived that it would be used to drive piles for a foundation for an elevator where corn for the use of the stock yards com- pany could be stored. Chief Engineer King is on the sick list, and it may be that his illness has caused a delay in the com- mencement of operations. Modern Brotherhood Meeting.

At this convention delegate were selected to attend the national con- vention, which will be held next month. Slowing Buying Coal. Local coal dealers say that residents are slow this season in laying In their winter supply of coal. While a great many orders have been placed, many of those who are accustomed to use large quantities of an- thracite coal are holding off ordering in hopes that the price may drop. Some who are using hard coal furnaces expect to burn semi-anthracite coal unless the price of hard coal comes down before cold weather. There is, however, at this time a lively demand for bituminous coal. Republicans Rally Tonight. There will be a rally of republicans at Koutsky's hall, Twentieth and Q streets, Thursday evening, September 18.

CARDVI POLITICS IN PORTO' RICO Election of Officers for Island to Be Held on November 14. PARTIES ARE REPUBLICAN AND FEDERAL Partisan Feeling Runs High and Al- most Any Advantage on Either Side In Considered Perfectly Honorable and Fair, SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. 10.—(Corr spondent of the Assoclated Press.)—On No- vember 4 will be held an election covering the entire island, at which time a resident commissioner to the United States, five delegates from each legislative district, a mayor for each municipal district, one municipal judge, three school trustees and members of the council will be chosen. In San Juan two municipal judges and two substitutes will be voted for. While the campaign has not fully opened, yet the first fow meetings have been thea- trical. The Porto Rican is a good citizen, he generally minds his own business and be- lleves in the adage, “Live and let live," until it comes to politics. Then there are no half way measures. If you are on the opposite side, whatever that may be, your opponent considers that you are not en- titled to live and that you have lost claim to respectability because you do not belleve be doet This being the case with one faction and tho other it will be readily seen that when Greek meets Greek there is bound to be results of the Donnybrook species more or less. Two Leading Partl Thus far few meetings have been held which have not ended with a few broken heads and the grave charge has been made that the police were not the least active in elther precipitating or lending passive encouragement to one or the dther faction. Today in Porto Rico there are strictly speaking, two parties, The republican party, now In power, and the American fed- eration. Another party has sprung up in the last few weeks which styles itself union- ist. It platform Is Utoplan to such an ex- tent that it is not being considered serious by the other two. Two years ago the federals cast no vote at all, claiming that it would be useless to g0 to the poles, as the republicans would count them out. The federals are going to the polls this year and are going to see tbat their votes are counted as cast. in this determination they have the endorse- ment of the governor, who has declared that a fair election must be held, whatever the result. People All Politicians, Most of the trouble occurs towns, whore the people have to do except to dabble in politics, and so everybody is a politiclan. The recent dis- turbances et Humacao Cayey and Juncos were only the result of abnormally devel- oped feeling of intollerance. In certaln in interior little else for one side or the other, until brought severely to task by the higher official Acting Governor Hartzell and Chief Techter districts the police bave openly proselyted | have struck upon a happy plan. In re- IDIIDI ican strongholds poiicemen wiih fed- eral leanings will be detailed. and those who have republican sympathies will patrol the federal towns. It 1s dificult to forecast at this time, ar nominations have not even been made, bul that the federals will carry a number of districts and make a very good showing in the House of Delegates is conceded by those who are in a positior to know.
