was not dangerous one, but the surgeons

webster a great deal OF annoyance.
Last August he went to Chicago, where he
submitted himself to the searching influence
OF the N-ray In an endcavor to locate the
troublesome piece OF lead. The effort was
unsuccessful. The electric current caused
one or two sore places in the captains flesh
but they soon healed over.
Several months ago however the can.

with complaint which puzzled the nos,
physician. sore spot began to devclop
on his chest which refused to heal In spite
of every remedy that could be applied The
sore gradually spread until II covered tho
captains entire chest and abdomen. The
captain Is a very portly man and the
wound or sore occupied a space OF nearly
twenty inches in length and eleven in width
The flesh began to slough off until the sup
porting muscles OF the abdomen were so
weakened that the patient was unable to lie
IN any position except fiat upon his back.
His condition finally became so serious
that he obtained six months leave OF alb
sence and returned to the hospital in Chi
cago. For three weeks he has received the
constant care of the hospital surgeons. and
few days ago word was received at Fort
Crook that he was not only out of danger,
but that he was progressing rapidly toward

PATCHINGg UP THE FENCES
Candidates cfps City Offices Look After the
.sWeak Places.
QUIETLY RQuFpING OUT THE CAMPAIGN
RcgistrntiPp ron saturday Compare
lively Heavy, Giving Rise 20
SusHiclon of Intended
FrIapduIent voting.

Yesterday being Sunday the work of the
political committees was conducted for the
most part quietly and unostentatiously.
While there were no big meetings candidates
on both tickets we're actively circulating
among their friends and patching up fences
here and there
The registration Saturday was compara-
lively heavy, taking into consideration that
the registrars sat only for the purpose of
correcting the lists made for the last years S
election. In some precincts of the Sixth
ward. for example, there were twenty-five
or thirty new names added These addl-
tions are looked upon with suspicion by the
republican managers as it is hard to believe
that that many voters have changed their
residences or moved into the ward since
November last. 1t is suspected that some
of these names have been registered as a
part of the democratic colonization scheme
These precincts will be carefully watched
on election day, and any person who at
tempts to vote illegally Will soon find him
self in serious trouble
1t is known also that the Novelties have
been examining the registration lists In the
lower wards for names OF people who are
no longer in the city for the purpose of hav-
ing them impersonated by some of their
strikers. But If this game is attempted it,
too, is likely to encounter obstacles.
The best informed politicians expect the
vote to fall short by 1000 or 5000 of the
total vote polled in the presidential election
last fall. The aggregate vote is expected to
approximate about $4,000, so that the Cand-
date who gets 5000 votes will be pretty sure
of election There being only two candidates
for each office on the ticket. the count will
proceed more rapidly than usual and there
is no good reason why the officers should
not complete the work by midnight tomorrow
night
The election tomorrow will for the first
time inaugurate the system of voting for
ward councilmen at large. Under the new
charter there are to be nine councilmen
elected one from each ward, but chosen by
the votes Of the entire city. The official bal
lot this year, therefor2, appears in an en-
tirely new form, the councilnanic ticket
being divided into nine sections containing
the names of the candidates for the council
from each ward, with the injunction to
Vote for one" Each voter, therefore is
expected to vote for nine councilmen, one
from each ward. 1t is hoped that no con-
fusion will arise from the new form of the
ballot.
Aside from the city officials to be elected
there is OrlY one proposition to demand the
attention Jf the voters, and that is the pro-
posed issue of $4,000 paving bonds to pay
the cost OF pavirg and repaving street inter
sections. So far as is known there is no
opposition whatever to these bonds and they
are sure to carry, unless they go by default
owing to neglect CT voters to express them
selves on the prop rostfon.

Her DENIES THE wRoNGDoING.
Refutes the Charge OF Illegal Actions
by Frank MOOrcs.


"There is no ground whatever for the
charge that FRANK Moores withheld Illegally
money belonging to stockholders OF the street
railway company that has been paraded by
the Howell organ" said p. T.. Her yesterday
II was one OF the stockholders to whom
that money " as credited and I know that
there is no bfame whatever attaching to Mr.
Moores in the matter. The money was paid
in to clear of a number of judgments against
the street car cbintiany and lay In the clerk's
hands for seveTaf years without anyone hav-
ing knowledge Of the fact.
"After Mro uMoores went out of Office
Wright & Thomas came to me and said there
was some dney due me from the clerk of
the district C0dft which they would collect
on a commits ion, Which | agreed to pay
them. ! afterwards learned that it was
money paid in1 on the street railway settle
ment which my iown lawyer ought to have
kept track ofaiIDgent to him and he told me
he lad forgotten All about II, but would col
lect it without charge. But having agreed
to pay a commission to Wright & Thomas |
let them collect 1t and paid them the per-
centage, | looked UP the law and found
there was no provision requiring the clerk
to notify people for whom he had credits
"Mr. MoOres has on several occasions gone
out OF his way to notify me OF money due
for witness fees and juryman's fees, and has
always paid them promptly when called for.
This money due me as a street railway stock
holder was paid Immediately as soon as the
attention OF Mr.. Moores was called to II"
Another Instance OF a groundless complaint
against Mr.. Moores came TO light the other
day down in the Missouri Pacific offices,
where enc OF the employees had been pro-
testing that Mr.. Moores had withheld witness
fees belonging to him. On inquiry II de-

from the usual service
st. Johns Collegiate church was crowded
to the doors The floral decorations about

FREE SUNDAY BEER FOR HoBos
Attraction Held Out by Howell 40
Catch the Workingmen's Vote.

, Catch the WorISin rmen's Vote.
The desperate straits to which the Howell
party is forced III order to secure votes was
never better Illustrated than at meeting
held last night at Knights of Labor hall. II
was announced in labor circles last even
ing that prominent laboring man was going
to celebrate his birthday in the hall and
that after the usual congratulatory speeches
were made beer would flow freely. Honest
workingmen were at once chary Of accepting
the invitation and but few of them attended.
A gang Of hobos and political followers of
Howell whose appetites were whetted at the
announcement that beer would be on tap
were in evidence at the hall when order was
called at about $50. H. Cohen, master work
man OF local district No. 1876, knights of
Labor, was on hand to engineer tho scheme
and was elected chairman.
Mr.. Cohen announced that the meeting was
called by the fusion party in order that the
great reform movement, OF which Howell
poses as the head, might be given an oppor-
tunty to talk. Howell was on hand and, al
though somewhat discomflted at the small au-
dence which greeted him, gave his usual ad-
dress He said he had always been the
woFkingman's friend and that now he asked
the opportunity to show them that he was a
true friend to the laboring masses. He said
that IL elected to the position TO which he
aspired idle men would be given employ
reign over the Hand. He talked freely upon
the new charter and then spoke of the merits
of the men who were on the same ticket with
himself. This served to introduce George +.
Gibson, Tom Flynn, G.. p. Halligan and A.
H. Rawitzer, who each pledged themselves
to look out for the interests of the working
man.
The crowd began to grow impatient for the
treat which had been promised and listened
with poor grace to the subsequent speeches
made by j. II. Beverly, Harry Miller and
Mr.. Bigelow from Lincoln, who is supposed
to represent several trades unions from
that city. 'a
At the conclusion of the speeches Cohen
that all OF the true followers of
Howell should adjourn to the ante room of
tho hall and that beer would be served.
rush was at once made for the little bar
Of the hall, which is said to do its best busi-
ness on Sunday nights. and Cohen, with the
assistance of two men from the saloon below,
handed out the beer until all were satiated
All honest workingmen who had been in
veigled to the hall left In disgust at the
orgies taking place upon Sunday night, and
the bar was left to the crowd of rum-soaked
voters who travel from ward to ward in the
hope OF imbibng a stray beer or two. The

getter among the labOring classes.
