Haney.
He has announced that he will re-
move to Mexico, to look after his in

mining properties, and it Is limited by
the. retiring city clerk that he intends
to make his future home there. How
ever that may be, the G l o has re-

Haney makes his home, he will be well
taken care Of by President-elect Nc
Kinley, when the incoming admins
tration gets under way. When Maj.
Mckinley presided over the delibera-
lions of the National Republican con-
vention at Minneapolis in 1892, he
found Mr. Haney to be not only the
pcssessor of ER powerful voice, but an eff
ficient clerkd AND an agreeable com
panion, and, it was then there began
the friendship which no doubt led to
the present s6licftude of the president

cratic Democratic organization Of
Omaha. the Jacksonfan club, tonight
dropped from its rolls all Democrats
who refused to support Bryan in the
recent campaign. Those expelled are
the flower OF Democracy of the

bers throughout Nebraska. The list
includes all prominent federal Office
holders in Nebraska. Omaha's post
master, Euclid Martin, heads the list.
Those expelled were sent a letter in
which the following was mentioned
as the cause of expulsion:
That you did during the last cam
paign of 1896 oppose and refuse to
support the regularly nominated candi-
dates of the Democratic party for
president and vice president, VIM. J.
Bryan and Arthur Sewall, contrary
to article VII, of the bylaws Of the

Potter has returned to Chicago, and
with him in all probability goes the
hope of having line of steamers

came here with the idea of raising
100000 in stock subscriptions to the

Eastern capitalists that, If the people
here had enough confidence In the
scheme to subscribe the amount
named, they would furnish the balance.
The fact is that at a meeting recently
held at the chamber Of commerce, the
proposition was found to be impossible
of accomplishing and was abandoned
This Is learned from one .of the gentle

Unsettled.

The matter of proposed legislation for
st. Paul and Ramsey county during the
coming session is not being discussed
to any great extent, at least not by the
members of the delegation. Senator
Stevens, in speaking of the matter yes
terday, said that he was going to sug-
gest that preparations be made for a
meeting of the ST. Paul delegation, at
which the question of needed legisla-
ton could be discussed Up to the
present time he had heard nothing, but
in his opinion it would be the proper
thing for the delegation to consult with
the council committees on legislation
and the city and county officers, as
we'll as those interested in the welfare
of the city. 1t is probable that such
meeting will be arranged for at an
early date.
Senator Pottgeiser thinks that it does
not do much good TO secure legislation
for the public good and pointed to the
bills passed by the delegation two years
ago. 1t was rather disappointing, he
thought, to know that nearly all the
work done two years ago which
amounted to anything had been
knocked in the head by the courts. The
bill abolishing the board Of public
works, which the senator said was de-
manded by a majority of the voters,
had been declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court. The bill placing the
county officers on a salary and reQuir-
ing them to turn the fees into the coun-
ty treasury had not been decided by
the courts as illegal, but he had been
advised that when it came up it would
meet with the same disposition. He
and the other members of the delega-
ton had worked hard and secured the

Der of the Harper firm was approached in
remonstrance against the favorable view
taken by Mr.. Abbott of this man of blood.
Mr.. Harper said he would see Mr.. Abbott

that Mr.. Abbott had assured him that

FATHER CLARK'S LECTURE
Traces the Development of the
Arts and Sciences to the
Church.
Says 1t Is Time When the Bulwarks
of the Church Need Much
Guarding.

OAKLAND, CAL. June 25.-Rev. Arthur
M. Clark, the Pauhst father of San Fran
cisco, lectured before large audience in
the Macdonough Theater this evening.
John p. Irish occupied the chair and in
troduced the lecturer. Several mem mbers
of the local priesthood were on the plat
form.
Father Clark took for his subject the
claim that the world of to-day owes much
to the Catholic church. He traced the
present high state of development of the
arts and sciences to the careful manner in
which they had been fostered and pro-
tected by the Catholic church. Particular
attention was given to the teachings of the
church in regard to morality and to the
preservation of the sanctitv of the home.
"If the world had been left to the minis
trations of the mother church, said tn e
speaker, i've should not have country of
poor -ouses. lunatic asyIums and prisons
1t Is not our teaching that has produced
the fearful state of affairs that now con-
fronts US. In every age our doctrine has
been the same and we have endeavored to
inculcate in the young mind those grand
principles that alone can carry the soul
through IAlS WOrlu VI temptations anu
preserve it unsuIlied till it is awarded its
eternal prize.
'In every branch of art and science it is
the church that has developed it and the
names of the noblest men in the pages OF
history are those who have labored and
died within its pale. Surely no one will
say disoaraging word OF the noble SheI-
man because he was Roman Catholic.
"Never was there a time when the bull
walks OF the church need as much guard

AT THE RUINS.
Search for the Bodies in the Wrecked
House Will Begin This
MOrnin0.

The work of removing the wreckage of
the Brighton House on Fifth street will be
begun this morning. All day yesterday
the workmen were bracing up the Lincoln
House adjoining and strengthening the
foundation OF the east wall. 1t was ex-
pected that the removal of the debris
would be commenced yesterday, but Dis
trict Engineer Shaughnessey decided that
he would not allow any risk to be taken,
so he had more timbers put under the
building.
The first portion to be cleared away will
be the corner and side where it is believed
there are the dead bodies of one or two
workmen who we're caught in the crash.
None of the officials of the Fire Depart
Eent believe that there are any bodies
under the ruins, but many of those who
were at work there just previous to the
crash are certain that one or two will be
found.
Coroner Hawkins and Engineer Shaugh-
nessey have been very busy gathering up
the evidence in the case, so that the blame
may be placed where it belongs. The
Coroner yesterday took w. Barnett and a.
&. Lutgens, architects, to the wreck, and
with Mr.. Shaughnessey they went to
every part they could reach and carefully
examined the timbers, bracings, etc. These
gentlemen, with several others in their
line who have gone over the premises,
will be called as witnesses at the inquest.
The inquest on the bodies OF the four
victims of the wreck will begin to- morrow
morning at o'clock. A large mum Der of
witnesses have been summoned, and the
investigation is likely to consume consid-
erable time.
The workmen employed in removing the
debris were kept busy all day yesterday
carting away brick, broken lumber and
dirt, and their operations were watched
by the usual large crowd. A large guam
tity of crockery and furniture was removed
from the restaurant, and strange to say
much was unbroken and in good con-
dition.

Metropolitan Temple will be the scene
of great enthusiasm tonight at the ratifi-
cation meeting of the suffrage plank.
There are enough sympathizers to fill the
building many times over, but it is hoped
that non-sympathizers will also be pres
ent and that their conversion will be
speedy and sure.
All over the State the various suffrage
clubs will hold similar meetings. Ardent
speeches will be made by men and women
who believe in equal rights for both sexes,
and enthusiastic Endorsement of the
suffrage plank will be given. The amount
of yellow ribbon worn in California to-
night will be unprecedented in the history
OF the State Yellow is the suffrage color,
and Miss Shaw and Miss Yates, who
arrived in this City yesterday from Hum
boldt County, report having left long
track of yellow behind them wherever
they lectured.
at Ferndale there was such enthusiasm
for suffrage, after hearing the ladies lec-
ture, that the storekeepers draped their
houses with the suffrage color. though to
show that they believed its principles to
be in keeping with true Americanism,
they also used the red, white and blue in
the decorations. All over Humb boldt
County there was the same enthusiasm,
and in Eureka the only reason the town
did not go en- masse to the suffrage meet
ings was that there was not hall capable
OF holding the entire community. As it
was, hundreds of people had TO be turned
away.
Miss Shaw reports that she heard moth
ing but praise for THE CALLS stand on
the suffrage question. Everywhere people
read II with added interest on account of
its cham pionship of the woman's cause,
and she considers that this is one of the
most hopeful signs for suffraglsts at the
coming election.
Tonight Miss Shaw will "ratify" with
even more than her wOnted eloquence, for
the occasion IS one that she considers
red dieter day in her life. For the matter
Of that all the suffragsts look upon it in
the same light and the amount Of concen-
1rated enthusiasm and eloquence which
will be vented at the same time both here
and in the fifty odd suffrage clubs through

enough 10 bring numbers of unbelieVers
and scoffers into the suffrage fold.

His machine is light and can be easily
drawn by two horses. Moreover, it will
be put on the market at rate within the
reach of all.
The notable invention, which, by the
way is called 1.-THE farmers Pride" con-
sists essentially of central bar or frame
having an attachment for the team at the
front end, a roller or rollers transyersely
journaled at the rear, and pair of har-
rows having their adjacent edges sus-
pended from the intermediate portion of
the bar, with simple mechanism by which
the harrows may be raised or tilted or
dropped at will.
The ordinary seeder can be attached to
the fore part of the harrows, can be
omitted, the harrows can be used without
the roller or the roller without the har-
rows. In fact, the invention represents a
complete cultivating apparatus that will
undoubtedly prove popular.
The operation will be as follows: The
machine having reached the place where
1t is to work the harrows are dropped, so
as to rest upon the ground and the front
end of the machine is adjusted up or down
upon the vertical shaft OF the castor wheel
(shown in the cut) toN give the harrows
the proper angle of draft. When the har-
rows are thus drawn over the ground they
will act in the usual manner to pulverize
and break up the soil and clods, and the
rollers following behind will crush any
large unbroken clods and will roll the sur
face down smoothly and even.
The inventor OF this ingenious and use-
full combination, which has already been
tested and proved a success, is Martin
Gottshall of Oakland, who, however. has
assigned two-thirds of it to Leopold Kiefer
and Andrew Kruechel of the same place.
George Meyers has the patent rights to
dispose of.
The full weight of the machine, with
operator on board. is barely HOO pounds,
so that it can readily be drawn by two
horses.
