SUFFERS BOOM FOR PLACE
New York Congrcssman's Aspirations
us Viewed by Nebraska
Democrats,

The announcement OF the candidacy OF
Congressman William Sulzer OF New York
for the leadership OF the minority in the
house OF representatives Is recognized by
democrats in this section as movement to
secure for him the nomination for the vice
presidency on the ticket with Bryan, Speak
ing OF the announcement a Nebraska demo-
crat who keeps abreast OF the affairs OF his
party said
There Is little question that Sulzer, IL 1t
were not apparent that he is after the vice
presidential nomination, would receive the
hearty support of every congressman who is
Jealous for the success OF Bryan, and they
may possibly support him as II is 1t is we'll
known that Bryan and Sulzer have been ar
dent friends, and were during the national
campaign in 1896. While Bryan was in the
east Sulzer frequently testified to his devo-
tion to the Nebraska champion by dancing
attendance upon him wherever he chanced to
be, and it was noticed that he always stood
pretty close to Bryan and enjoyed his conf
dence and warm friendship. Sulzer's
strength in New York is something of an
enigma, for while his friendship for Bryan
and the Chicago platform were well known,
and In spite of the strong prejudice against
both in the vicinity of Wall street, Sulzer
was elected to congress in New York City
on free silver platform. Should the Bryan
forces favor his advancement to the leader
ship of the minority in the house 1t may be
taken as an indication that Bryan is seeking
to use him in New York as a vice presden-
tial candidate.
"Sulzer was one of the guests and speak
ers at the last Jacksonan club banquet in
this city and created a very favorable i'm
preston then among democrats present.
think it may be safely said that the fusion
congressman from this state may be relied
on to support the aspirations of the New
York congressman for leadership. Care
will probably be taken to see that no such
anti Bryan man as Joe Bailey OF Texas
proved to be at one time secures the minor
ity leadership"

SMALLPOX CAUSES ANXIETY
Proximity of Disease to Omaha
Alarms Health Omcials-No
Means to Combat Epidemic.

The prevalence of smallpox at Sioux
Rapids, Storm Lake and Marathon, Ia, is a
cause of uneasiness at the local health
office. The officials are totally unprepared
for its advent here, there being no emer-
gency hospital or funds to locate one. Like
all crowd maladies smallpox is more
prevalent in the winter when people live
more closely together, and while the pres
ent mild weather is not favorable to the
disease, Assistant City Physician Ralph says
when the epidemic is once under way
weather conditions exert little influence.
The city physician expresses hope that
the communication which was submitted to
the council Tuesday night will receive favor
able attention at once, otherwise the advent
Of the disease here would find the health de-
partment helpless. The communication
called attention to the epidemic in Iowa,
citing the poor quarantine facilities and the
consequent likelihood that the disease would
spread. The council was petitioned to pro-
vide the department with funds that prompt
measures might be taken upon any indica-
tion Of the disease in the city.

CANDIDATES FOR POSITIONS
Young Men and Women Anxious to

Federal Government.

The annual examination of parties who are
desirous of entering the service OF the gov
ernment as mail carriers and clerks in the
postoffice is on at the federal blllding, where
II is being conducted by Miss Viola Coffin,
secretary OF the local board. This time the

fifteen are women. The candidates for

oent OF the questions in order to attain any

RAIN DELAYS THE WORK
Wreckers mt the Exposition Grounds
Arc Compelled to Reduce
Their Forces.

Bad weather is interfering with the work
OF demolshing the buildings at the exposi-
ton grounds. Tuesday about $50 mon were
employed by the Chicago House Wrecking
company, and during the day they ac-
complished great deal. At this time the
Agricultural building is pretty well stripped
of it's roof. while considerable work has
been done on the Manufactures building.
Now that the rain has set in attention is
being turned to the floors in half dozen Of
the structures Part of the big force has
been laid off until better weather comes, yet
even now as many men are at work as can
be used to advantage.
On the Bluff tract most of the small
buildings have disappeared The New York
building has been torn down and hauled
away and the Georgia building is without
a roof. All the plumbing and the small
articles from the buildings and grounds have
been stored in the Transportation building,
which has been converted into an enormous
junk shop. This material will be kept there
for the present, but eventually it will be
sorted out and sold at auction. The Bee
and Honey building is used as a place in
which to store the palms, ferns and tropical
plants, which eventually will be sold.
That the people who comprise the wreck
ing company are a thrifty lot Of individuals
is apparent, and with them nothing is al
lowed to go to waste. They are selling the
shade trees that were planted by the
Transmississ.ppi Exposition association, and
are even cutting out the sod and disposing
of it. The sand along the walks is raked
up into little piles and is carefully looked
after. Even the nails taken from the lum-
ber are picked up, sorted out and slowed
away to be sold.
On the Midway few buildings remain.
Two saloons are all that are still intact.

CHAPlAlNS UNWILLING TO GO

1t Unwisc to Urge Appointment of
ChnpIains for Philippines.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov, 22.-At the con-
vention OF the Brotherhood OF ST. Andrew,
held In this city, the time and place of
the next convention was referred to the
executive committee and that body has lust
decided on Richmond Va, October 10 to
IA, 1900. General Secretary w. w. Wood
presented his resignation at the same meet
ing of the. committee which was held in
Philadelphia and which was an executive
session.
The general secretary reported that 1t
would be unwse to urge the general gov
ernment to secure the appointment of
larger numbers of army chaplains. Moth
ing will be done in that direction. 1t Is
understood the reason OF this is the un-
willingness of the army chaplains to go to
the Philippines when ordered, which dis
courages the administration.
John II. Peyton resigned as army Sec
retary and the army committee was in
structed to discontinue its work in the
Philippines.

GORDON PRESSES HIS CLAIM
Police Judge Salary Middle Must Soon
Be Cleared Up.
TWO YEARS PAY REMAINS UNDRAwN
confused Legal Complication Exists,
from Which Gordon Hopes to
Emerge Twenty-six Hundred
Dollars to the Good.

Police Judge Gordon is pressing his claim
against the city for salary alleged to be due
ana the council will listen to his statement
In general committee meeting. For two
years Judge Gordon has refused to accept
the 800 month allowed him by the new
charter, and salary warrants for 81, 200 are
awaiting him in the city treasurer's office
On January /, therefore, he will be able to
draw 81, 400 conceded to be his and hopes 10
collect balance OF $500 The city attor-
ney believes this claim to be unjust and no
agreement will probably be reached outside
of the courts
On May 10, 1897 the new charter went into
effect, cutting the police judges salary from
$4,000 to 200 and increasing the term from
two TO three years. The supreme court,
however, ruled the time provision uncon-
stitutional, the state constitution fixing the
term at two years. Judge Gordon holds that
the whole portion OF the charter relating to
police judge is therefore void. He asserts
that he is now administering justice not by
reason OF any election or appointment but
because no successor has qualified to take
his place. The reason that he has not ac-
cepted tenders OF salary is that he does not
consider himself on the pay roll under the
new charter provision Judge Gordon indi
Gates an alleged inconsistency In City Attor-
ncy ConnelIs course He says that the lat
ter presented the name of B. F. Thomas
before the republican convention with an
assurance made publicly that the revenue
of the office amounted to $4,000 year
The city attorney points out in return
that Gordon ran for reelection with the
expectation publicly announced of serving
under the new charter stipulation. He takes
the view that the ruling Of the supreme
court regarding the time Of service has no
effect on the salary provision, which has
place in an entirely different, part OF the
charter.
The resolution which is the subject OF
dispute was introduced in the council on
November 13. and provides that an item be
inserted in the next appropriation ordinance
for $780, being the deficiency in the salary
of Judge Gordon up to January 1899. The
matter is now in the hands Of the committee
on finance and claims. Chairman Burkley Is
not prepared to throw any light on the
muddle or outline the recommendation which
the committee will make. 1t is simply a
legal point, he says, and the committee will,
therefore, rely largely upon the advice of the
city attorney II this claim for 81, 300 Is al
lowed Judge Gordon will bring similar
one in January for the year 1S99

A Good Liniment.

Mr.. William Know. well known at Coal

Balm as the best household liniment he ever
used for burns, cuts, bruises, chapped hands
and like injuries. Owing to its antiseptic
effect 1t heals that class of injuries without
maturation and in one-third OF the time
the usual treatment would require. Freely
applied to a sprain this liniment will
restore the parts to healthy condition in
a few days, while when treated in the old
way two or three weeks are required. Cham
berlains Pain Balm is mcst widely known,
however, as cure for rheumatism. One

would be given the preference in appoint
ments, and even the chances for them to Sc
cure positions are not very bright, as the
only way they can get on the regular force
is by the death, resignation or removal of
