They Urge Their Compatriots Not to BE
Blinded by Democratic Misrepresentation.
Chicago, H., Aug. 2S.-The German
American Rebublic union of Illinois has
issued an address to the Gerinan-A American
voters of Illinois. 1t is signed by large
number of We'll known German American
citizens, including George Schneider, Will
lam Woke, Hermann Shredder, Charles Bur
meister Jacob Gross, Hermann Felsenthal,
Franz Amberg, G. Herman Plautz, William
Lieb, sr., G.. Bartels, Henry G. Senne and
others and states it. to be the purpose OF its
sgners 10 enter a protest against the at-
temptS OF the democratic party 20 capture
the German vote by misrepresentation.
In trying to raise the school law TO POSI-
tion of overwhelming political Importance,
the democrats, SAYS the circular, are attempt
ing to cloud and shirk the vital questions OF tho
campaign. The circular states further that
both parties are pledged by their platforms TO
secure repeal of tho school law, which.
therefore, cannot IN any way be considered a
taO,or in the campaign
Continuing, the circular states the real
issues of the campaign TO oe tho tariff and
the financial questions. 1t denouuces what
it terms the free trade plank of the demo-
cratic party and condemns the position OF
the democrats on financial questions, scoring
the democratic majority in the last session OF
congress for failure to make an adequate APP
preparation for the Worlds fair. The circu-
lar, in conclusion, argues in favor OF the
principles enunciuted in the republican plat
form and urges all Germans to be not
blinded by democratic misrepresentation

Thinks the Alarm Mt Berlin Unnecessary
Kaiser Careful for His Soldiers.
BERLIN, Aug. 2S.-Emporor William has
had presented to him exhaustive reports on
the progress of cholera and the measures
taken to combat it. He devotes several
hours daily to studying the epidemic, and
has ordered vigorous measures to be taken
for the safety of the troops.
Tho sanitary officials tonight reiterate
their assertion that there is no Asiatic
cholera in this city. However, suspicious
case was reported yesterday, that OF u
woman who had just arrived from Hamburg,
and who was seized with cboleraic symp-
toms. The woman and her husband were
Immediately sent TO the Moaoit hospital
where they are still detained. Frequent
cases of cholerine are reported.
Prof. Koch declares that there is no reason
for the exaggerated alarm that prevails in
Berlin, as the sanitary condition OF the city
is better than that of Hamburg
Great surprise is expressed at the action
of the Hamburg authorities in giving the
cholera figures up to Thursday as 5T3 cases
and 1874 deaths, whereas the Reichsanzeiger
gives the figures up to Friday rs l,O2S cases
and 1853 deaths. 1t is reported that the
Sylvia, bound from Hamburg to New York,
has landed AT Cuxhaven two of her crew
suffering from cholera.

FATAL ENDING OF A DAY OF PLEASURE
X. scalese Crushcs In the Skull OF Tom
vccsc with an Iron Bar-Arrest OF
tho Observation-Disclosures of
the Array.

Gambling and drinking yesterday after
noon were the cause of one man losing his
life. The dead man, Tom Vecsc, is an Italian
laborer aged about 35 years. X. Scalese is
the name OF his slayer. All day yesterday
the men were drinking together through the
Italian district, near Twentieth and Pierce
streets. During the afternoon they wandered
over ito the vacant lots on Twentieth street
between Wooworth and Poppleton avenues,
nnd engaged with several others in playing
italian games. Vecse, Il was learned, had
lost little money, and Scalese chided him
about it, A heated discussion followed, and
the result was that both mon became very
angry.
struck the Fatal Blow.
Just what the dead man said to tho mur-
derer could not be learned, but quick as a
flash Scalese picked up an iron bar, which
was lying on the ground near by and struck
Vecse a terrible Glow ON the head just
above the right eye and across the temple.
Death was almost instantaneous.
A call was sent in to the police station and
the patrol wagon sent out. Word was also
sent to the coroner, who responded at once.
Upon the arrival of the patromen Officer
Dick Marnell arrested the Italian murderer
and after placing him in irons looked around
for some witnesses.
After a biz of hustling Marnell arrested
jim Long, =. Costilda, Tony Mathews and
Thomas Madeline, and locked them up as
state witnesses. Both the murderer and his
victim were railroad laoorers working on a
B. & Nj. gravel train and were scarcely
known IN the Italian district.
Struck in tire Heat of Passion.
AS neither the witnesses nor the prisoner
can speak word of English 1t was impos-
sibe last night for the police to obtain any
particulars Of the crime or the causes leading
up to it, Judging from the fact that the
pair had been together all day, it is pre-
sumed that the fatal blow was struck in n
lnomentary heat of passion and was not the
outcome of an old feud.
Detectives went out to the various Italian
resorts last night, but had hard work in find
ing any Italians who admitted that they
could speak English, and those who could
talk little claimed to know nothing about
the affair.
Unknown In Omaha.
The body was laid out at the morgue A
S. bill was found in one of the pockets of the
deceased's clothing, ana that was all, net n
scrap OF paper or single thing to Indicate
the mans name or to tell where was his
home. Several Italians called at the mcrgue
to see the romans, but no one identified
them beyond tho fact that the murdered
man had worked in or near South Omaha.
Some claimed that his name was West and
some said Vecse. The only two facts that
the authorities are sure of is that the man is
dead and that the murderer is in Jail.
Coroner Maui will hold the inquest some
time today.

Hot SPRINGS, =. d.. Aug. 2S.- Special TO
The BEE. Captain w. V. Lucas, the repub-
licnn nominee for congress from the Hills
section of South Dakota, was seen at tho
Evans this morning. He is IN excellent
health aud spirits and ready for the fray of
the campaign to begin. While he Is conf
dent Of the success OF the republican party
In the state his fall, he says they will have
hard fighting and a tight rub IL the demo-
Gratis and independents unite all along the
line. The captain has nos much faith IN the
proclaimed determination of the democrats
TO throw over the Independents and main
tain their party organization, and
thinks they are meditating some scheme
which win be- sprung late in the
campaign. He says the democrats in this
state have everything to gain and nothing TO
lose by uniting with the independents. That
party is In such u hopeless minority In this
state that decade OF campaigns OF "educa-
tom will not be sufficient TO bring them into
power. But II by uniting with Tue indepen-
dents they can succeed In swinging the state
from tho republican columns they gain
victory for their national ticket Without
making any local sacrifices. This beiAg the
situation the republicans must not allow
themselves to be cheated with the idea that
the enemy will present divided front, aud
must not allow moments relaxation OF
energy aud watchlulness.
Ihe captain says that the whole trouble In
thls campaign lies In the fact that the state
Is not distracted vet, and the congres smen are
elected Mt large by the vote OF the state, anu
the independent element east of the river
uniting with the democrats, may enable the
opposition TO overcome the good old repub.

IN the last legislature the Independents were
