COULDN'T"RUSH THE CAN -
And So These Express Drivers De-
cided to Strike.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 6.-DoubtIess the
most novel strike ever witnessed in this
city was instituted by the drivers for
the expressmen's delivery today. In
stead of being a question of wages, work
or hours. it was whether the barn fore
man had right to enforce a rule rela-
tive to rushing the cam
When they congregated at the office
for the first time during the new year
and started a can for beer, the fore
man stopped it and announced that it
would not be permitted again. The
drivers in a body appealed to Mana ger
Gordon for relief from the foreman

experience about three years ago, and
having issued the GROWER order him
self, did not feel disposed to reverse
himself and sustained the foreman.
The drivers threatened to strike, but
even this did not alter the determina-
ton of Gordon. All the drivers at once
quit, but their positions were soon filled.

Crowd romorrow Tho Side which WIN
90 In Us tainted by the Rejected
Sewer.
The CsrSeites have an unlimited
supply of money for use in attempt
ing to carry the election tomorrow,
and it is somewhat surprising that
there should be the least curiosity
unsatisied as to the source of this
boundless revenue. The simple ex-
PLANTATION is that it comes from the
storm drain outfit the Union has ex-
hibited so much concern about. The
overtures were first made to Mr.. Me-
dill from the storm drain crowd.
He was told that there was an mex
haustible fund at his command if he
wanted it. but he promptly and firm
ly declined to accept any of the
m oney so rendered.
The promise of abundance of funds
in support Of the republican ticket.
coming after Mr.. Medill's rejectment
of the proposition of aid, is now
readily accounted for. There will
be plenty of storm drain money on,
ON orrow. but it will not be used in
behalf of Medill, as he has refused to
accept it. Will Mr.. Carse say az
much?

BOWLING NEWS.

Last nights contests at Bowling hall were the last of the season in the City league.
 The Eurekas rolled six games, three each with the Eclipse and Semaphores.
 In the first they were defeated three straight by easy margins.
 The result makes the Eclipse and Warwicks a tie for second place and settles the Eurekas in tail end honors
 Hamilton was high roller, with 517 for a score.
 In the second game the Eurekas took enough of a brace to win two out of three from the Semaphores, a result that did not affect the standing of the latter who win the championship of this season.
 The game was noticeable for the large number of spares made by the Eurekas.
