I SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !

Today is the second day OF registration.
The board OF registration will sit at the
various precincts from S a. IN. until p.
m. An effort will be made by the re-
publican managers to get out as many
voters as possible today in order that the
registration precincts may not be over
crowded on the last day. Registration pre-
cincts are located as follows:
First ward-First precinct. c. u. Scarr s
erug store Twenty-fourth and NJ streets:
Second precinct, Howard Meyers drug
store, Twenty fourth and ] streets; Third

Republican candidates are being we'll re.
! ceived here and are quite confident of Sc
curing large vote. Among those who
spent portion of yesterday in the city
were: n. +. Swanson, candidate for cor
oner, and Judges Fawcett and Dickinson.
| Messrs. Baright and Haverly have been
down several times and met with encour-
agement wherever they went. The repub-
ltcan candidates for assessor are making
personal canvass in their respective wards
and are confident of election. Several big
rallies are projected by the republicans, to
be held within the week or ten days
Judging from street rumors, the utmost
harmony does not prevail in the fusion
camp. These rumors are strengthened by
the attitude of the organ OF the fusion
forces here-the Daily Tribune. In Its
issue Of Wednesday October 25, this paper
saye:
If the entire fusion ticket is not elected
this fall 1t will be on account of the lack
OF ambition of men who are in position
TO do things that are necessary in the
management of affairs. SO far the manage
ment OF the campaign has been decidedly
weak. The central committee, or rather
the executive committee, in whose hands
resto tho manipulation of the whole affair,
sits by warm radiator and laments that
candidates have not paid their assessments,
few fellows have been hired to run
around through the wards and find out how
many men have registered after the reg
isterng has been done and few ward
meetingn have been held. No effort has
been made toward organization, no literature
of proper character has been placed in
the homes of the independent voters who
might be influenced by a proper showing.
The opportunity that has not presented
itself in years is being slowly neglected
| and it should be looked into by the men
who are interested
great many fusionists admit that this
condition of affairs prevails and very few
have any hopes OF electing more than one
or possibly two candidates out of the entire
! ticket.

Speaking of live stock prospects and con-
ditons in Montana the Stock Growers Jour
nal saye:
"The cattle shipping season is practically
over, although a few shipments are yet
to be made. The season has been a good
one for stockmen, even II the shipments
were not as heavy as formerly The range
has been all that could be desired and cattle
came out OF the winter in good condition.
early taking on fat which they held.
The frequent rains caused little or no travel
for water and the herds steadily increased
in weight, finally finishing cut In excellent
shape for range beeyes The market, too
has been very satisfactory holding fairly
firm at good prices Take 1t all in all the
cattleman has little complaint to file against
1899 and with another good winter has fat
tering prospects for the year 1900
Montana pasturage was never better
since the day when buffalo roamed the
ranges. Sheepmen are not cutting down their
hocks, as has been reported, 1t is believed
that there were never so many sheep on the
ranges as now. There are more cattle in
Montana now than last year, yet two or
three times as many could be kept without
oyeTcrowdng."

Special Council aAecting.

special meeting of the city council for
the transaction Of routine business was
held Thursday evening. The ordinance re-
pealing the franchise granted to the Magic
City Electric Light company came up for
third reading and received an affirmative
vote from every member This franchise
was repealed because attorneys have de-
clared that the company failed to file ar
ticles of incorporation before securing the
right of way through South Omaha. 1t
has been held by the court that the council
had a perfect right to repeal the franchise
and this was done. After Acting Mayor
Bennett, who occupied the chair, had de-
clared the repeating ordinance a law Mem
Der Kelly secured the passage of resolution
directing the city attorney to draft an or
dinance granting another franchise to the
Magic City company. This new ordinance
will, most likely, when introduced, be
carefully watched in It's course to see that
no legal objections arise
Following this came the reading OF a
proposition from the South Omaha Water
Works company for franchise to operate
and maintain an electric lighting plant
and lay conduits or string wires on the
streets and alleys. franchise for twenty
five years was granted to this company and
next five years was entered into. The
South Omaha Water Works company pro-
poses to maintain arc street lights OF 1000
candle power from sunset to sunrise for
s1050 a month each and 10 charge the city
so cent sa month for each incandescent lamp
used.
The new contract Is quite a reduction
over the price the city is now paying. At
present sl2 a month is paid for arc lights
and regular meter charges are made for in
candescent lights. The contract will be
effective as coon signed by the mayor
or acting mayor. All members OF the coun-
ell voted for the franchise and contract Of
the South Omaha Water Works company.
An ordinance creating a grading district
in the alley between L and NJ streets and
Twenty-fifth and Twenty sixth streets was
passed and the city clerk was directed to
advertise for bids for doing the work. H.
NJ. Christie. z. ?. Hedges and L. G. Gibson
were appointed appraisers for this new
grading district.
Mayor Ensor's veto on the letting OF the
contract for the @ street sewer was read,
but action was deferred until the regular
meeting in November.
Vincent Wrzesnski filed claim for s5, 900
for personal injuries alleged to have been
received for falling through a hole in the
plank walk OF the L street vaduct. Fund
Ing bonds to the amount OF s23, 900 were sold
to Frank j Morarty at premium
d. ]. Farrell was given the contract for
laying wooden sidewalks from the present
time until June 80 Mr. Farrell bid 30 cents
per l!neal foot for four-foot walk and 40
cents per liheal foot for six-foot walk.

BAD MEN LANDED IN JAIL
William Miller and Bart Olsen Are
Brought to Omaha by Deputy
MarshaIs.

Deputy United States Marshals Barber
and Palmer arrived from Broken Bow yester-
oay, bringing with them William Miller and
Bart Olsen, who have been placed in jail
to await the action OF the United States
grand jury. Miller is charged with rob-
bing the postofiice at Merna and Olsen is
charged with assisting the alleged robber to
escape.
About one week ago Miller broke into the
postofice, secured a small sum OF money
and was just getting out of back window
when posse Of citizens came upon him and
filled his legs with bird shot. He was ar
rested and taken to Broken Bow, where he
was locked in Jail. A day or two later he
and Olsen, who was held for some minor
offense, sawed out Of Jail and stole a team,
starting south. Deputies Barber and
Palmer took up the trail and for two days
there was hot chase. The men were cap
tured while eating dinner at farmhouse
near lndianola, $50 miles from the place
where they started.
Bloodhounds from Beatrice were used for
following the trail for some distance, but
later the officers gave up the dogs and con-
tinued the chase, being assisted by the
marks OF broken shoe on the horse. which
the men were driving. This trail was fol-
lowed through fields, along country roads
and across streams.
Miller admits having been arrested a
number OF times but says that he always
managed to escape punishment. Olsen has
the appearance Of being a farmland, and
says that this Is the first time that he has
ever been in trouble.

In decided contrast to Wednesday night
Thursday evening saw an audience OF rather
limited size at Boyds to witness Miss Blair S
production OF this really delightful bit OF
French humor Theater. goers are better ac-
quainted with Sardou as a writer OF tragedy
rather than comedy, but "Dvorcons" shows
that he is thoroughly capable of turning his
pen TO either. Like the majority OF French
plays, this one is a trife risuue and deals
with Irritation between a young married
woman of social position and French gem
tleman, with whom she thinks she is in love
and entertains at her home in her husband's 6
absence. The latter discovers her infdelity
and decides to cure her with her own medi-
cine She is anxious TO secure a divorce in
order that she may marry her pardmour.
The husband consents to this; in fact on =
curagcs 1t. The wife is extravagant to a
different about her obtaining a divorce and
realizes that she will be compelled to live
upon much smaller income as well as the
tact that her husband is perhaps anxious
TO get rid OF her to marry another she de-
cldes that her love for her paramour is
quite imaginary. champagne supper. in
which the genuine article is served upon the
stage, quart of Mumns being consumed
with evident delight by Miss Blair and Mr..
8ramwell, brings about a reconciliation and
OF course everything ends happily as is the
case in all good plays.
The first act of "Divorcons" Is perhaps
trihe talky. but this is excusable, in view
or the fact that all things literary and dra-
matte must have proper introduction, and
In this piece Sardou uses his first act for
this purpose. The second is. however, lively
enough to please anyone, as well as the last,
during both of which the audience was kent
almost constantly in litter of merrlment.
The greater part of the acting in the piece
falls upon Mr.. Bramwell and Miss Blair and
both are quite equal to the emergency. Their
extreme naturalness throughout the play
ADDS a real charm to 1t and there is practi-
cally no time when the audience Is allowed
to realize that these clever artists are act
ing but are kept constantly in the atmos-
phere OF the piece.
There is not much to be seen in the way
or elaborate scenery, the familiar house sets
being used in each OF the three acts. Miss
bar wears some stunning gowns, as do tho
other women in the cast.
Owing to the unusually large demand for
seats to "A Lady of Quality" during the
earlier half of the week the management
has decided to play Mrs. Burnett's beautiful
piece both tonight and Saturday night in
stead CT "Divorcons," as was originally in
tended. The latter will be the bill at Satur-
days matinee.
