Judge Gordon announced his decision
Waterman and John Mattison, charged
with obstructing the street by building an
oh1ce on Boyd street, east of Thirtieth, in
accordance. with permit granted by the
city council: The decision hinged on the
of the council to grant such a
permit, and the judge decided that under
the ordinance relating to streets and alleys
the office constructed by Waterman and
Mattison is a nuisance. He accordingly
fined each of the defendants So and issued
an order to the chief of police for the abate
ment of the nuisance. The attorney for the
defense took an appeal.
In announcing his decision the judge said
he believed the. city had no right under the
ordinance TO give an individual or concern
the privilege to occupy a street, used or
unused for business purposes, especially
when in the case before him the privilege
allowed one business man plot of ground
rent free when across the street was a man
in the same business who had to pay rent.
The Judge said the transaction was too
much like class legislation. If a precedent
were established, he said, there would be
nothing to prevent buildings, from being
constructed on every street and alley in the
city.

FIFTH WARD REPUBLICANS
silns A. Holcomb's Unsnvory Record
is Placed In the Full Glare of the
Public Searchlight.

large number of members OF the Fifth
Ward Republican club listened to republican
doctrine expounded Tuesday night by Judge
Lee Bstclle, ID. NJ. Vinsonhaler and j. l..
Haley. The principal address OF the evening
was delivered by Mr.. Haley, who devoted
himself principally to a discussion OF state
issues, mentioning briefly the county and
judicial tickets which had previously been
presented to the voters by Judge Estelle
and Mr.. Vinsonhaler. Mr.. Haley arraigned
Silas A. Holcomb and called up some Of the
numerous shortcomings in his official career.
He cited the recount fraud the house rent
steal and the wholesale acceptance OF rail-
road passes as some of the misdeeds of Hol
cCGnb. He also presented to the attention Of
the voters Holcombs connection with the
defalcation OF State Treasurer BARLEY, in
negiect0g to examine carefully into the
affairs OF the state treasury at the begin
ming Of his second term.
In comparison to the unsavory record OF
the fusion candidate for supreme judge, Mr..
Haley directed the attention Of his auditors
to the untarnished reputation and superior
judicial ability of Judge Reese. He ex-
horted the republicans to vote the republican
ticket from top to bottom and congratu-
lated them upon having such an able lot CT
candidates, whom all can conscientiously
support.

/ SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !


The receipts of sheep at this market have
been so large for some time past the man
agement of the Union Stock Yards COM
pany decided yesterday to enlarge sheep
barns in order to handle the sheep now
sent here by flock owners. Monday last
the big sheep barn contained $4,000 sheep
and this number rather crowded the barns.
When Manager Kenyon saw that the re-
cepts of sheep were liable to increase daily
he at once gave instructions for the drawing
of plans for another barn in which to
shelter sheep. The present sheep barn is
fireproof structure 700 feet in length, with
vitrihed brick paving throughout, but it is
not large enough to contain all the sheep
sent to this market for sale and slaughter.
Plans are now being drawn for the new
barn, but these will not be completed for
some days, as other work is taking up the
time of the engineers just now.
1t Is expected that work on the new barns
will be commenced within the month and
that the work will be pushed to completion
as rapidly as the weather will permit in
order that ample room may be given to
shippers from the west and northwest Since
January l OF this year S77,92S head OF sheep
have been marketed here, as compared with
S65, ,S72 head last year. This is an increase
OF Il, 056 head. From reports received it
Is predicted that hundreds of head will be
marketed here before the season closes and
it is the desire Of the management of the
stock yards company to provide for all large
shipments. The new barns to be erected
will be patterned after the present barns
as far as fireproofing is concerned, but sew
eral improvements in interior arrangements
will be made.

MEETING IN EIGHTH WARD
Enthusiastic and Well Attended Gathering
of Loyal Republicans.
JUDGE sLABAUGH THE FIRST ORATOR
He Expounds Good Party Doctrine
and is Followed by Il. j. Cornish,
Who Entcrtnins the Audi
ence in Fine style,

The Eighth Ward Republican club held
an enthusiastic meeting last night at VOLTS
hall, Twenty-second and Cunning streets
which was well attended. L. NJ. Tracy
presided. C. j. Andersen acted as secretary
until the arrival of the regular secretary,
William Cowger. Mr.. Andersen is treas
urer of the club.
The presiding officer introduced Judge w.
w. Slabaugh, who made a strong speech.
He pictured the early history Of the country
in language vivid and wanted to know
about the issues Of today.
Free trade is dead. free silver is dead,
we have shown them how we stand on the
trust and war questions. now what more
do they want?" This was in substance the
text Of Judge Slabaugh's talk before the
club. He was replete with facts and fig
ures and maps to prove any assertion he
made and his argument was unequivocably
fair. He told about the death of free trade
and how Bryan had been its champion; he
related tho story OF free silver and it's pres
ent status; he told about the democratic
howl about trusts and portrayed how re-
publicans had set themselves right upon the
question.
Free trade is dead! Free silver is dead"
dramatically exclaimed the speaker, land
now we confront the trusts and the Phil
ippine war" The judge defended both is
sues with convincing argument, showing
as he proceeded, the right of his position.
One of his significant utterances was: 1--WE
know the story Of the war without a colonel
resignng to tell us about It,"
In his dramatic periods, he said: The
flag shall not be lowered while a gun is
pointed at it."
Judge Slabaughs speech ELECTED great
applause and he was roundly cheered.
After Judge Slabaugh retired, E. ]. Cor
nish, the we'll known attorney, was intro
duced by the presiding officer. Mr. Cornish
made one of the best speeches that has been
heard in Omaha during the present year
He made a plain talk on facts and figures
at the same time becoming more or less
eloquent. He declared that the republican
party has no serious issues to confront;
that all impending issues have been dem
onstrated; that in the main, it is a settled
proposition. He spoke of the grandeur OF
| the republic under republican rule he
| touched up local fusion in gentlemanly
| though spirited way; he recited argument
after argument to show the feasibility OF
republican ideas and closed his speech ir
| a grand peroration.
| Presiding Officer Tracy and members Of
| the club generally expressed great appre.
citation of Mr. Cornish's visit to the club
| and he is invited on further occasions
Another meeting will be held next Tuesday
night

Voting Places Selected.

County Clerk Haverly in company with
City Clerk Carpenter, made a tour OF the
city yesterday afternoon and located the
voting places as follows:
First Ward-First precinct, 25l2 NJ street
Second precinct, Delaney's building on j
street, between Twenty7,ffth and Twenty
sixth streets; Third precinct, Collins music
store, Twentyfourth and streets.
Second Ward-First precinct, Remer
hotel, Twenty-ifth street, between n and
o streets; Second precinct, .Piyonka store,
Twenty-first and . streets; Third precinct
Davis barber shop, Twenty-first and
Washington streets.
Third Ward-First precinct. Metropolitan
hotel, Twenty:eighth and streets; Sec
ond precinct Kilker building. 3Ol9 Q street.
Fourth Ward-Tent to be erected at
Thirty-second and Is streets.
In almost every instance the voting places
are different from the registration booths
and voters are cautioned accordingly. Three
days have been set apart for registration
and voters in every precinct will be afforded
an opportunity OF registering before cleo
tion. On account of the inability OF the
authorities to secure place in the Fourth
ward the voting will most likely be held
in tent the same as the registration.
