EIGHTH WARD REPUBLICANS
Club ReorEnniIes with II. c. Rowley
as President for the work of
the Campaign.

Perhaps the biggest and certainly the
shortest political club meeting so far was
held last evening in Sanders hall, corner
Of Twenty-fourth and Cunning streets.
1t was the Eighth Ward Republican club,
met to reorganize for the year. The only
thing done was the election Of officers and
that did not take fifteen minutes altogether
Vice President F. L. Smith called II to-
gether as soon as about a hundred mem
bers had taken their seats. At once r. c.
Rowley and T. H. Leslie were placed in
nomination for president. Mr.. Rowley was
elected by a majority Of 20 ballots over his
opponent. The other officers chosen were
as follows, each by a unanimous vote: Sam
B. Leonard. first vice president: Fred L.
Smith, second vice president; w. F. Cow
ger, secretary, and c. J. Anderson, treas
urer. Owing 10 the heat an adjournment
was Immediately taken.
Quite a number Of candidates for the
lower house OF the legislature live in this
ward md it is thought the club will en-
deavor to avoid giving its endorsement to
any one man. An effort will thus be made
to keep out Of factional fights.

WORK OF THE POLICE BOARD
Captain Watts of No. IL Hose Dis
missed and Oficer Costello Rein

At its meeting last night the outlawed
Board Of Fire and Police Commissioners
accomplished the discharge OF a fireman
and the rehiring of a policeman. The latter
was Patrolman Costello, who was one Of
the three more recent appointees dispensed
with by the board several weeks ago.
Costello appealed for a hearing and an
investigation was conducted IN executive
session. The policeman brought evidence
to show that he was not addicted 10 the
use Of liquor as alleged, but that the rea-
son for his irregular bearing at times was
that he had been taking a physician 5
prescription, which contained morphine.
The testimony was favorably received and
Costello was once more put on the force,
subject TO the rules of a new appointee,
viz ninety days probation.
Captain E. W Watts OF hose company
No. u was further examined relative 10
his alleged use Of violent and profane Ian
guage toward Foreman Craycroft Of the J.
b. Smith Paving company. The board re-
ceived the impression that Watts visited
Sixteenth and Jackson streets. where Cray
croft was working, in order TO make trouble
and Watts was found guilty as charged. He
was dismissed from the service.

ing tents and the vast amphtheater within
which the performances are given will be
carried out this morning, so as to have
everything in readiness for the perform
ances the first of which occurs at 2 o'clock
today.
The main features Of Cody's unique ex-
hibition are pretty generally understood,
especially so here in Omaha, where the out
fit was first started on its career Of sue
cess fourteen years ago Since seen here
two years ago much that is entirely new
has been added. Colonel Cody has secured
a representative band of Cuban patriots to
spend their leaves Of absence with the Wild

composed OF veteran members Of the Fifth
United States artillery will give thrilling
exhibition Of light artillery in action. Buff
falo Bill himself, as stalwart, his riding the
acme of grace and his aim as unerring as
ever, presents a picture as interesting as OF
old Annie Oakley and Johnnie Baker keep
the interest up in fine craftsmanship, while
the score OF interesting and instructive
features illustrative Of primitive and
nomadic life in this and in many other
climes are still adhered to and, II anything,
more fully presented than in the past. The
engagement here is limited TO four per-
formances. The rough riders will leave

HITCHCOCK WILL MAKE THE RUN
Writes n Formal Acceptance of the
Popocratic Nomination.

Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock has accepted the
fusion nomination for congress to run
against David Mercer in this district. He
gave out the announcement last evening
and at the same time sent the following
letter Of acceptance to the notification COM
mittee of the free silver convention:
When first advised late Saturday night
that 7 had been nominated for congress by
the three party conventions Of the fusion
forces l felt that could not afford to ac
cept.
After considering the matter, however,
for two days and listening to the statements
made by your several committees. l have
reached the conclusion that l cannot afford
to decline.
These who are acquainted with my affairs
and my busy life will credit me when |
say that nothing could have induced ne to
become a candidate for this nomination.
When l went into the newspaper business
went out Of politics as an individual. Now.
however, I find myself Unexpectedly forced
! into a position from which l must either re-
treat and disappoint my friends or go for
! ward
In deciding 70 accept the nomination ten
dered at your hands by the three conventions
| I do so with the full knowledge that tie odds
are perhaps against US, and that victory is
| only possible as the result Of a strong fight.
| From so many directions and from such var
| led sources, however. assurances OF support
| and cooperation have come to me during
| the past two days and the committees have
! been 50 prodigal and enthusiastic in the
| promise of active work in the cam
| paign that have been led to fee
not only that three parties have com
blned, but that ill party factions have united
| in support OF my candidacy. l shall, there
fore add my pledge to yours and shall dc
| what l fairly can to win.
| In conclusion. Kermit me TO say that
appreciate most deeply the nomination which
you have rendered me, coming it doe
from three unanimous conventions, not onl!
unsolicited, but entirely unexpected. Sucl
nomination under such circumstances is O
itself an honor as great as that which come
with seat in the congress of the Unitet
| States.

Hawaii to Have a Concession.

In addition TO having an exhibit in the
Agriculture building, the new territory of
Hawaii will show itself on the North Mid
way in a building the erection of which
has just about been completed. While this
will be in the nature OF an amusement
concession. the features which will be shown
will portray the dress, customs and habits
of the people Of the islands, as they ex-
listed century ago and also as they exist
at the present time. The interior OF the
building will be decorated to conform with
that Of a Hawaiian theater with the stage
settings peculiar to the territory. There
will be the dances Of the country, which will
be tripped of TO the music as II is played
there. The Kalakaua sextet club will sing.
One Of the features Of the amusement sec
dance that the old king liked so well and
which was so popular before the island was
Americanized This dance s not put on in
the public theaters throughout the island.
as with the natives it is regarded as a
sacred affair. When old King Kalakaua was
alive he was the owner Of a splendid club
house down along the beach and there he
would repair with his friends to drink gin.
which with him was the royal drink. After
Kalakaua would call in his dancing girls
and then the fun would be fast and furious.
The people who will take part in these
Hawaiian dances and other amusements
have left the island and will be here in a
few days, probably not later than the mid
die OF next month.

hibit at the exposition feel confident that
before the end Of FIVE years it will be one Of
their leading crops.
Superintendent stanton OF the Illinois ex
hibit is devoting much Of his time Just now
TO sowing grapes. Yesterday he placed
twenty varieties upon the tables. all from
the State Experimental farm located at
Champaign. They are unusually finely col
ored and regular In size and shape. This,
he contends. is the result Of spraying.
Idaho and oregon have both received some
fine consignments Of plums. peaches and
apples, but the parties in charge Of the ex-
hibits find some difficulty in getting the
finer qualities Of fruit here in good coudi-
ton. 1t Is all right when it leaves home,
but the long distance and the time re-
qured to get it here play sad havoc with
its condition. This. however will not stop
the shipments They are coming on daily
and by receiving fruit so often, 1t is ex-
pected that the display will be kept very
attractive

Excursioni-ts from Kan.a. City.

Five hundred people from Kansas City
came TO Omaha last evening over the Mis-
souri, Pacific on an excursion organized by
the Young Mems Christian association Of
that city. They came to visit the exposi-
ton. The ride was a long one, the day was
hot and the road was dusty and the ex-
cursionists were q sorry looking lot when
they alighted at the Webster street depot.
Yet withal the discomfort they suffered en-
route they were happy in the consciousness
that none OF them had any edge on the
others as TO appearance, and accepted the
situation in good humor. Most OF them
went to private boarding houses, as they
seemed TO have been supplied with ad-
dresses before reaching the city. They will
remain most Of the week, as their tickets
are good until Friday.

ART At THE EXPOSITION

1t is unfortunate that the imposing south
entrance, which was designed by the arch
itects in chief 10 be the main entrance into
the exposition. should be the one with
which the public is least familiar. But the
street car route-which is as unstable as
the Missouri river-was detected from its
straight and narrow course and the people
who are dependent upon the street cars as
means OF transportation are left at the
back door on Twenty-fourth street or at the
subway entrance on Sherman avenue
The Brandenburg gate-that magnificent
triumphal monument which forms the en-
trance TO the city of Berlin from the Ther-
garten-has the central passage reserved
for the carriages OF royalty to pass through.
II this Arch OF States had been designed
to allow a certain class only to enter under
its proud arch, what a crowding and pushing
there would be to pass through that way!
As it is, there are probably fewer people
enter at the main entrance than at any OF
the other gates.
1t really repays one to leave the car at
Writ street, walk over TO Twentieth street
and enter the exposition grounds under the
lofty Arch OF States
AS you approach the main entrance you
must close your eyes to all the mean and
common looking, unpainted pine buildings
erected as check stands, stables and restau-
ruats, which seem fastened TO each side
OF the arch like barnacles 10 a stately white
ship. The general effect Of this triumphal
arch is unquestionaby majestic, the relative
proportions are happily determined and the
dominant architectural lines are specially
sommendable. Near the top is a frieze formed
Of the seals Of the transmississippi states
and in the middle above the frieze are two
youths upholding the shield of the United
States.
This offers a worthy entrance to the beau
tifuI lagoon court and the classic buildings
which encircle 1t.
The arch is ianked on each side by wings,
curving out toward the town like arms hos
pitsbly outstretched TO all. In these wings
are the booths for the ticket sellers and
each wing is crowned al the end by a group
Of four crouching female figures, holding
out toward the four points OF the compass
The lighted torch Of knOwledge-which one
finds within the gates. The statuary sim
pie though il is, is appropriate in design
and Is in good proportion with reference
to the whole. II is the work OF the sculptor,
Mr.. Bringhurst OF st. Louis, who also did
the sculpture work on the Art building.

After His Son-in-Law.

William Armour, with his jaw in a plaster
cast, called at the police station yesterday
and swore out a warrant for the arrest
Of his son-in-law, George Cleveland, who
he asserts assaulted him with a pair OF
brass knuckles and kicked him in the stom-
ach, injuring him internally. One Of the
blows received in the face broke the jaw
bone in seven different places.
Armour says he cannot account for the
vicious assault upon him unless it was for
the purpose of robbing him Of $50 Cleve-
land knew he possessed. This money was
taken from him as he lay unconscious after
the assault. The assault took place at
Fourth and Hickory streets, July 10. Yes
terday was the first time Armour left his

kirnIfy Endorse. the Expo.ition.

Imre Kiralfy, the great spectacular show
man, was in the city yesterday and spent
all OF his time at the exposition, visiting the
main buildings and the Midway. That he
enjoyed the day goes without saying. After
making a tour of the grounds he said; "It
is about as good a thing as have ever seen
and is going TO prove great educator to the
people who come here. I have visited all
the expositions held during the past twenty
years and regard this as one of the best.
II seems to be perfect and complete in every
particular. The buildings are gems of arch
itectural construction and contain as fine
a class of exhibits as it would be possible
TO find anywhere. In sending their exhibits
the people seem to have displayed good iudg-
ment and have sent only things intended to
interest the public"
Regarding the Midway and Midway at
fractions, Mr.. Kiralfy said: The time has
been reached when a Midway is regarded
as a part of an exposition and is Just as
necessary as the big buildings and the ex-
hibits AT this exposition the Midway is as
good as any that I have ever seen. OF
course the attractions are not so numerous
as at the Worlds Fair, but on the whole they
are better and are Of a higher order
At this time Mr. kiralfy Is the director
general of the London exposition. He will
be in the city several days.

Reduced Admission Brings Out the
Local People in Force.

The crowd on the grounds last night in
dicated that the drawing power Of the p
cent admission has lost none Of its force.
This is especially significant, as Monday
night is usually one OF the lightest Of the
week. The crowd is largely composed Of
strangers, who are fatgued after their first
day on the grounds and do not linger
through the evening. This proved the case
last night and between and 5 o'clock the
returning motor trains were filed with ex
position visitors, who preferred to rest
rather than spend the evening on the
grounds. But the reduced night admission
brought out such a local addition to the
crowd that their departure was not noticed
and 1t was one Of the liveliest Monday
nights since the show opened. The concert
played to big crowd and all the even
ing the Midway received an exceptionally
liberal patronage. Late in the evening
President Wattles brought out a party of
the visiting bankers, who were given brief
but satisfactory glimpse of the Midway.

WALKER CERTAIN Of HIS MAN
Street Car Conductor Positively iden-
titles Kirby as the One Who
Held Him Up.

Conductor Walker who arrested the man
who held him up on Thursday night, vis-
tied the police station again yesterday morn
ing and Kirby was shown him. He
identified him as positively as he
did Sunday night as the man who held
the gun on him while the other rifed his
pockets during the robbery. Yes, that's
the fellow" Walker said as he glared at
the tall rawboned Kirby. The latter's face
flushed and he replied hotly, "If l had you
outside for a moment I'd fix you
Walker signed a complaint against Kirby,
charging him with highway robbery.
Kirby's rooms at 341S Sherman ave-
nue. were searched by the police
Sunday night, but nothing was found
that could connect him with the robbery.
His roommate, Thomas Edna, who was
found. says that on the night OF the rob-
berry Kirby left the room shortly before
midnight and did not return until some time
in the morning. He did not see him return
as he was asleep. Edna says he never saw
Kirby until week or so ago. Edna is not
suspected Of completely in the robbery.
While Kirby denies the charge against him
he talks freely He says he is a railroad
brakeman and that his home is in Spartans-
burg, S. c. Prior TO May. when he came
TO Omaha, he says he worked on the South
ern railway in South Carolina The months
of May and June, he says, he spent in
Omaha, working as a laborer with the land
scape gardener at the grounds. He left
Omaha for a short time after the exposition
opened and returned some weeks ago. He
went to work at Markets restaurant on the
grounds last Monday. Little is known OF
him there.
No clews have thus far been found to the
men who held up the crew of a Sherman
avenue car Sunday night. All the available
men both uniformed and in plain clothes
in the department are at work on the case
under Chief McGrath's direction.
