Will her citizens settle the great question now before them and settle it right? Omaha haf grown powerful in the very face of vast and varied and pow- erful interests using every pessible influ- ence that power, money and favors will obtain to obstruct and prevent the growth of Omaha as a patural commercial center. Every pound of freight and passenger busi- ness possible to keep away from Omaha Is done. Every possible influence that can be used to work up and maintain a spirit of envy and jealousy against Omaha in the country towns, villages and farmer com- munities is continually peddled through our state by the very same interests that are trylng to make Omaha a way station instead of a great commercial center that she is destined to be. At the same time thess same powerful interests want to keep Nebraska and Nebraska people fighting against each other that they may continue to draw thousands and millions of dollars from her yearly to send away to absentee owners that belong to her citizens. Ne- braska is paying freight rates fully 50 per cent higher than its sister state Icwa. Bvery farmer, every laborer, every school teacher, every business man helps pay this increased freights. The frelght from Chi- cago to Omaha is 30 cents per hundred, a distance of 506 miles. The same goods in the same car, over the same road, over & railroad that has no long expensive bridges, better grades, where labor, living and fuel costs less, costs 30 cents for & haul of 200 miles. Who is paying the fiddler? Every Nebraska citizen (not in the employ »f these powerful {interests), regardless of color, is paying these corporation fiddlers for the corporation music they are dishing up. Hundreds of litfle country newspaper men, lawyers and small-bore politicians are dancing to \he corporation musie, receiving @ pass somewhere to pay for the time spent dancing. How long will the people, busi- ness man and farmer be fooled? How long will the people be fooled by paid party leaders pald to keep the people divided when they should unite against these in- terests that are against the independent development of our natural resources The people have the power to right this great injustice. Wil they do i Omaha will rise to her great opportunity and the peo- ple of Nebraska will stand at her back. “The people are with you, Omaha, don't be discouraged or take down the flag of right.

POLICE ARE NOW CONVINCED Certain B ek Was Killed by = Woman and Know Whe She Is. BUFFALO, N. Y., March 6.—There was no development throughout the night in the Burdick murder case. The officlals claim to be absolutely certain that the murder was committed by & woman. They know the woman and they can make an arrest the moment the chain of evidence is sufficient to secure & convietion. A house in the Elmwood district is being watched day and night. The police decline to eay why they are watching the house. Last night for the first time the detectives were withdrawn from the New York Central and other stations. This move is regarded as strong evidence that the police belleve they know where the murderer is and that there Is no danger of escape. An important fact made public today is that on the mofuing when the body of Bur- dick was discovered the top drawer in & table at the head of the'couch where the body lay was open. Associated with facts and circumstances uncovered since then, the open drawer looms up, the police. bes lieve, a8 & most important clue. The police questioned the occupants of the Burdick house and were Informed that the drawer was open when the body was found. In the drawer the letters and papers were disarranged and on the floor were several papers, indicating that they had been dragged out of the drawer and left where they fell. Now the police say that certain letters were taken from this drawer. They are confident that they are on the right track. What is more, they claim to have in thelr possession at the present time & last and strong card, which they have not yet played. The theory of the police is that the suspected woman, finding that Burdick's affection for her had begun to caol and that there was talk of his marrying ao- other woman after securing his_ divorce, made an eppointment with Burdick at his bome. On her arrival he conducted her into his cosy cormer, where {ntrusion was least to be feared. The lunch on the table was for her. His indifference toward her was not coms cealed and, awaiting her opportunity, she struck him down and beat out his brains.

Moores Hennings for city treasurer. Anticipating & fight for the control of the organization, both sides had pulled out their forces to the fullest strength and the result was an attend- ance of nearly 200. At the preceding meet- ing of the club, several weeks ago, when only a small number of the friends of the present administrailon turned out, a reso- lution endorsing Charles L. Saunders for mayor and A. H. Hennings for city treas- urer was put through after the president of the club had declared the session ad- Journed. Last night the fun began when the minutes of this preceding meeting came up for approval. - W. E. Stockham moved that the portion of the minutes relating to the SBaunders resolution be stricken out and Hugh Myers moved as a substituto that the minutes as read be approved. W. 1. Klerstead, in seconding the motion to strike out the Saunders endorsement, said: “Mr. Saunders is being made a cats- paw by certaln poljticlans of the Fifth ward who have no idea of nominating him for mayor. They desire merely to use his name and that of Mr. Hennings for the ward delegation and then dumping both when It comes to the conmvention. Mr, Hennlngs has made the best city treasurer Omaha has ever had and we are all for him for renomination—his true friends are the men who nominated amd elected him the last time. The Saunders men, If they should by any hook or crook secure control of the convention, would defeat Mr. Hennings because they hold him for the defeat of Mr. Saunders three years ago.” Mo After the Myers substitute was voted down the Stockham motion was declared carried by the chairman. Division was then called for and the Saunders and Moores men took separate sides of the hall, while they were counted by two tellers. Despite the fact that Comptroller Westberg and a | number of his friends from the Sixth ward were among the Saunders crowd, the mo- tion to rescind the resolution of the pre- ceding meeting was carrled by a vote of 96 to 82. J. B. Brunner then introduced a resolu- tion endorsing the candidacy of Frank E. Moores for mayor, and it was adopted by a decislve vote. The preamble set forth the many achlevements of the Moores ad- ministration, marking it one of the most successful the city had ever had. Mr. Kierstead then moved that thq club endorse Mr. Hennings for city treasurer and the motion carried without dissent. Comptroller Westberg then undertook to make a speech, but his remarks were so contrary to the sentiment of the club that he was hooted down. Mr. Westberg managed to quote some figures showing that $34,000 had been spent dn street work in one year, whereas he thought half that sum would be sufficlent for the work. “Yes,” put in Mr. Klerstead, ““that's just the kind of an administration you want— one that will double the comptroller's sal- ary and at the' same time cut down the amount of money to be pald in wages to hard working men for keeping the streets clean and in good repair. If I had my way, the city would spend $50,000 a year for street work, the money would £0 to hard working and deserving men and the streets would be fthe pride ot the city.” BANQUET OF THE OHIO CLUB ‘es Supporters Win. purpose of securing control of the Fifth | It Will Be Given at the Commercinl Club Next Thursday Evening.
