MIR. HIBBARD REMAINS.
The Republican County Committee
ReConSidcrs Its Action.

The opposition that has manifested
itself to the action of the republican
county central committee in dropping
the name of F. b. Hubbard, one of the
candidates for the legislature from the
ticket, resulted in another meeting of the
committee yesterday. Chairman w. F.
Bechel presided and IL. w. Dunn acted as
secretary. The minutes of the last meet
ing were read and presented to the com
mittee for their approval. Dennis Lane
moved that the action of the committee
in reference to Mr.. Hibbard's candidacy
be reconsidered.
The motion drew out lively discus
sion. Mr.. Rosewater made a statement
concerning the action of the convention.
He held that a creature could be greater
than its creator, and that the central
committee, which was created by the
county convention, had no power
to undo the work of the con
venton He claimed that any
ticket which the central committee would
place in the field would be illegal and
bogus if it differed in any manner from
the ticket chosen by the county conven-
tfon.
After lengthy and heated discussion
the motion to reconsider the vote drop
ping Mr.. Hibbard's s name from the ticket
was carried.
Mr.. Hibbard was then called out and
briefly addressed the committee. He
stated that he had been placed in deli.
cate position by the hasty and ill-advised
action of the committee. He said that
he haa been republican all his life. He
denied emphatically that he was tenn
perance advocate. He had watched the
growth of the question from its first start
in Massachusetts, and was convinced that
Nebraska's liquor law is the best that ex-
lists. In case Of his election he pledged
himself to be honest and to act consci-
entiously and work for the bestinterest of
Douglas county.
The committee, after hearing Mr.. Hib-
bard, adjourned.

THE RATE TROUBLE.
An Effort Made TO Patch Up the Differ


ftUttH-OtlltF Ahdll NOleSs
Superintendent Hughes of the Iowa
division Of the Chicago q Northwestern,
from Boone, Ia, and j, NJ Alworth,
freight agent of the same road at Coun.
Gil Bluffs, were at the stock yards yester.
day. The Northwestern and Burlington
people are very much aroused over the
action of the Rock Island in hauling their
stock at the porportionate rate of the
through charges. There seems to be
general impression that there will not be
n war on rates between the roads, based
OH the suppostion that the commissioner
would not countenance the action of the
Rock Island, and that the road would
not find it to its advantage to continue
in an aggressive attitude against the
other roads. just at this time, too, a
rate war would be very unfortunate
agar for Omaha. The new packing
houses that will be ready for business here
within 4 few weeks will create a demand
for all of the live stock that can be brought
to Omaha. If the war is commenced the
Northwestern will carry into execution
their threat that they will restore local
rates on stock shipped from Nebraska
points to Omaha. This would eflectually
shut off all live stock from entering the
city over the Chicago g. Northwestern,
and will also lose to the city the stock
that will naturally go over the other
roads to Chicago on account of the cut
rates.
NOTES AND PERSONALS.
j. M. johnson of Chicago, assistant
general freight agent of the Rock Island,
was in the city yesterday. His visit
doubtless had some connection with the
threatened rate trouble, although he was
as mum as an oyster on the subject.
c. w Hobbie of the Rock Island ticket
office, left last night for a trip to st,
Louis.
Matt Clair, the veteran passenger agent
of the Rock Island, is home from a west
ern trip.
Ed Dickinson, assistant general man
ager of the Union Pacific, went west last
night in the special car, 06.

manner in which it was

left undone. Everything conducting to
the comfort of the guests had been anti
cipated, and as a consequence their
wants were supplied before, indeed, they
could give expression to them.

said could be easily explained by the
statement that he had been caught in the
swamps at Florence.
Then followed a series of toasts re
spondcd to by General Smith, B. +. b.
Kennedy and others The latter re-
ferred to the existence of the old Omaha
Sportsmen s clnb, of which, organized as
il had been about twenty-five years before,
he saw but one face he remembered. In
those days, too, they used to have
club hunts with, however, but five
members on side. But the club
grew until it had forty members. In
those days also the man who acted as
leader achieved the title by a count of
sixty.one points, which was in singular
contrast with that of the two hundred and
more points which had, this year, earned
that distinction for General Smith
Around him he saw what was apparent
in the streets of Omaha, strange faces on
all sides. There was time when he
used to know everybody. Now he could
scarcely enumcrate dozen of those pres
ent who were not strangers to him. In
those days when they met for their annual
club supper at Harry Wilson's saloon, he
knew all the members. These facts made
him feel that he was growing old. When
twenty-five years ago he had learned to
shoot, ne never thought he would shoot
as long as he had, but he would con
tnue to shoot as long as it was permitted
him so to do. He perhaps was not so
sure of foot nor accurate IN sight as
some of his eagleeycd young companions
but was still devoted TO the sport and was
pleased to see shat there were so many
other young folks who loved it equally
with himself.
Other toasts were responded to by DR..
Worley, j. j. Hardin, DIR. Hyde, Yank
Hathaway, G. f. Snyder, of the Rcpubli-
can, the DEE representative, j. K. Clark
son, and DR.. Peabody. 1t is regretted
that even summary of these remarks,
which were quite happy is forbidden for
want ofspacc.
President Bcchel closed the banquet by
stating that if the guests had enjoyed the
evening as well as the club had enjoyed
their presence the ambition of the latter
would be attained.
The gathering then retired.

HIRED A MAN TO SHOUT.
How Judge Cooley Gave. Himself
AWAY

HOW JuuSe COOley Gave HimSelf
Away.
A good joke is being told at the expense
of "Jedge' Cooley, the we'll known law
yer and politician of this city. The
Judge was quite recently in attendance
upon political mass meeting which was
being held in place not thousand
miles from Omaha. He was cooked and
primed for one of his eloquent speeches
advocating the cause of Church Howe.
The meeting progressed satisfactorily,
and number of good speeches were
made. Only one circumstance marred
the serenity of the occasion. Some
lusty lunged youth in the rear of
the audience was continually bawl-
Ing out Judge Cooleyr' Lets
hear from Judge Cooleyr' "a
speech from Judge Cooleyr' ETC.
He kept this up until finally the Judge
was seen to rise from his seat. He sham
blcd slowly up to the platform, his head
bowed IN deep thought, one hand thrust
under his Prince Albert, the other CO.
quoting beneath his left coattaIl. He
soemnly mounted the platform, and pro-
ceeded to electrify his hearers with
series of Websterlan periods. Still the
to call loudly for Judge Cooley"
Finally the chairman arose and address
ing himself to the disturber said: II hope
that you'll keep still for few moments.
Don't you know that this is Mr.. Cooley
who is now speaking?"
Nav" said the fellow in daized
sort OF n way, that can't be Judge
Cooley, why, blast 1t, that's the d
fool that hired me to hollcr!"

concert at the Exposition building of
Signora Linda Brambilla and her excel

aging this series of concerts, has secured
this company at an enormous expense
for the initial number of the concerts, and
he should be encouraged in liberal man
ner by the music.lovlng people of
Omaha. The success of these concerts
will in great measure decide whether
Mr.. Franko will continue his residence
and work in Omaha. Signora Brambilla

New YORK, Dec, ll.-ln the McQuade
trial to-day, Katie Metz, a servant, testified
that she was in service in the house adioin-
ing that of Alderman Mclaughlin, in which
the alleged combine of Doodle aldermen
was formed. She testified that she was called
to the door by ring of the bell. On the
steps were five men who inquired for
McLaughlin's house. They went into Nc
Laughlin's house. About a week later these
men made the same inquiry. Later in the
evening several more came. She saw them
come out of Mclaughlin's later in
the evening. Witness was asked to look al
the audience and see if she recognized any
one of the callers The little German girl,
with her finger, saying: Yes, sir, that gen
tleman is one of them" Every eye was
centered upon Alderman John O'Neil, us

There was another gaze about the room and
then her finger was pointed at the prisoner.
That gentleman" She said. McQuade arose
with his hand on his bosom and pointed Ito to
anyone else? Witness half arose again. In
half moment her eye rested and her face
frightened. There, Is one" she said,
the 'i rail rose, but the witness was not posi-
tive and all efforts to make her say different
were futile. Another effort was made and
she pointed to Alderman Cleary. When he
stood up she said he was the man she meant.
Fullgratf was also identified. Then Nichols
brought out the fact that he had call led upon
the witness and she had identified in the
group photograph Dempsey, Cleary,, O'Nell,
yesterday, in the court room. she had
identified Fullgratf, Duffy and McQuade as
the parties whom she had seen at Mel l.augh-
who rang McLaughlin's bell on the occasion
OF the first visit. The prosecution rested at
this point. A motion was made to instruct
the jury on the ground that case had not
been found. The recorder denied the motion.
Lawyer Newcombe then addressed the jury
in opening the case for the defense.
