Give Him An Ovation.

General John M. Thayer will address
our citizens ON next Thursday evening
IN the exposition annex. The people of
Omaha owe 1t to themselves to give the
old war horse rousing ovation. He was
one of their pioneers in early days VIXEN
Omaha was a hutted village on the
muddy banks OF the Missouri and Ne
braska, an unknown section ON the
map. He led from the city the first regi-
ment of volunteers to the war for the
preservation of the union and won for
himself and his troops high honors on
the field of battle and represented this
state and city In the national senate
General Thayer was an able, eloquent and
devoted advocate of the interests of his
state on the floor of the upper house, the
friend and confidant of the most dis
tinguished public men and the honored
intimate of General Grant.
Nebraska has no more distinguished clti.
zen to-day than her next governor, John
NJ Thayer. Advancing years have not
quenched the burning fires OF his untiring
energy or the brilliancy of his eloquence,
Give the old war horse an ovation.

Douglas Republicans and Prohibition

The republican ticket in Douglas
county should not lose single vote of
those who oppose prohibition. Every
candidate on the ticket stands firmly on
platform which endorses the high license
law. Every nominee OF the convention
is pledged to work and vote against the
submission of a prohibitory amendment
The names presented to the public for
their endorsement are the names of men
whose word can be relied on and whose
aggressive work can be depended upon.
Douglas county is opposed to prohibitory
legislation and the candidates of the re-
publican party will represent their con.
stituency. If the submission of prohibI-
tory amendment is to be beaten 1t must
be defeated through republican votes.
There is no shadow of chance of a dem.
ocratc majority in the next Legislature
The entire democratic strength will not
exceed fifty votes. Every anti-prohibi-
ton republican elected is worth two
democrats in influencing the party to
sensible and practicable legislation. None
know this better than men like Fred
Metz, Peter Iler and other prominent
citizens who are personally interested in
preventing the costly folly of prohibl.
tory enactment.

How a Trnmp Mane m,l,,ons

Ishpoming (Mi0h.) Cor. New York
Herald: man named John T.. Jones,
who was generally supposed to be
tramp, and who dressed like one, ap-
peared here two months ago, and after
working for while about different mines,
offered 25 cents a ton for a pile of refuse
rock at the Winthrope Hematc com.
panys mines, the money to be paid as the
rock was removed. Jones said he
thought he could make little something
oil the rock.
The company was surprised one day
when Jones set force of men at work
sorting the rock and carting off the ore.
Jones also bought other piles of rock at
the same figures.
II now transpires that the rock pans
out one half good ore, for which Jones
received $500 n ton. The WinthrOpe pile
alone contained five hundred thousand
tons of rock and Noted Jones over si,.
W0,o0D, osher piles have netted him
about S4,O00,000. The work has been
conducted under the very eyes OF the
mill'owners, who have regarded the rock
piles ms worthless and paid no attention
to Jones.
Within few days the fact has leaked
out that the Jones ore has been shipped
largely to Joliet, III The news came
back from that point and has created a
great sensation. Jones appeared IN his
own carriage to-day and is treated as a
leading citizen. He can buy no more
rock piles for 20 cents ton. The own
ers are going about in large numbers

PUBLIC PRNrFR''BENEpIcr is still try.

the detriment of his predecessor. He
charges that the administration of the
Office by Mr.. Rounds was crlmnally ex-
travagant and has taken the unseemly
course of giving the largest publicity TO
the allegation in an interview with n
newspaper reporter, in which he cites
examples of extravaganza. This seems
very rash business for an official who
has not yet become acquainted with all
the details and requirements of his office,
and is such a palpable assumption of
superior solicitude in the direction of
economy as to suggest that the admin
istration of Mr. Benedict may later on
require to be closely scrutinized. A
private letter from Washington indicates
that the sentiment there isn't wholly
favorable to the new public printer, the

Sre .ino Charges.

Church Howe has made a general de.
nial of every charge brought against
him, but up to this hour he has failed to
disprove any of them. These charges
are not mere rumors, but we have made
them specific.
1. That rs quartcrmaster of the Fif.
teenth Massachusetts, regiment he made
the party from whom he purchased the
band instruments pay him a commission,
from which he realized several hundred
dollars. Evidence of this is now on
file in the Massachusetts state house in
the form OF letter addressed by Howe to
Governor Andrew, begging not to be
removed on account of this little spec.
ulation.
9. AS manufacturer at Holden, Mass,
Church Howe failed, defrauding his
creditors, none of whom, it is thought,
ever got a cent.
3. In 1866 Church Howe Johnsonized
and was appointed internal revenue col.
lector for the Worcester district in Mass
achusetts He at once began system
attic persecution of manufacturers and
realized many thousands of dollars from
moetics.
4. 1t is the prevailing belief at Worces.
ter, Mass, that Church Howe stole the
will of his fathcr-in law and destroyed It,
This will is said to have left property to
his wife in such way that he could not
control it.
| g. In 1868 he was appointed United
States marshal for Wyoming by Pres
dent johnson, and as such carried on
systematic raids on citizens of the terri
tory until he was politely requested to
vacate by General Grant.
6. That Church Howe, in 1924, mas
queradcd rs a friend of the farmers,
joined the grange, played upon the con.
fidence of the grangers, had himself
elected grand master of the state grange,
sold Quito the railroads and broke up the
organization.
z That Church Howe, in 1875, as a
| $1,000 for his influence and vote for
Nelse Patrick, democratic candidate
for United States senator, whom he sup
ported with his vote, as proved by legis
lative record.
g. That Church Howe has time and,
again used his position as member of
the legislature for levying blackmail and
securing bribes. Instance the fact that in
1881, he introduced stringent prohibi-
ton bill, and compelled the brewers and
liquor dealers to raise large fund for his
benefit More than one thousand dol
lars was placed in the hands of Howe's
confidential agent by P. E. Her, head of
the Willow Springs distillery of Omaha.
In 1888 Howe made very handsome
''stakes'' out of the relief bills passed by
the legislature. He received 5000 from
j. w. Pearman and $500 from the Ne
braska City National bank.
8. In 1885 Church Howe introduced n
bill to make gambling a felony and q
fund of over $1,000 was raised By the
gamblers of Omaha and Lincoln and
placed in the hands of Charles H. Greene,
attorney for the b. & M. railroad, to
make Church Howe "let up" After
this Doodle had been raised for Howe, he
lost all interest in the anti gambling
bill.
TO- We publish the affidavit of a
former agent of the Missouri Pacific at
Auburn, by which it is shown tkht Church
Howe, under pretense of assisting the
| farmers and shippers of Nemaha county,
secured n rebate of $40 per car load on
stock, and swindlcd them out of $5 on
each car load
