Pushing Armour's warehouse.

Electric arc lights have been placed about
the excavations at Armour's 50 that the
driving OF piles for the new nine story ware
house may go on day and night. Over 2,lc0
piles are to be driven and in order to eX-
pedite the work a steam hammer pile driver
from Chicago has been procured. This Is
something new here, as the old style drop
weight has always been used heretofore.
The steam hammer now in use here Is the
same one hat was used in driving the piles
for the new postofice building in Chicago.
BY the use of this machine 12o piles are
driven in twenty-four hours, which is way
above the average. The graders are progress
ing as well az can be expected, and 1t is
thought that this work will be completed
within the next week or two. AS fast ar
the piles are driven the heads are cut off
and great oak timbers laid on top to form
a portion OF the foundation. Above these
timbers will be laid heavy slabs OF stone,
and on these stones the walls will rest. 1t
is the intention to build walls thirty inches
thick at the base, tapering to about seven
teen Inches at the top. When completed the
building will be the most substantial in
the city. Rows Of piers set in a concrete
base will run through all Of the floors, thus
taking a large proportion of the weight off
the walls. AS soon as the bricklaying COM
mences several hundred men will be given
employment, and as the work progresses
more men will be needed, SO there is no
doubt there will be plenty of work in South
Omaha for laborers during the fall and win

Fifth Ward Republican Club.

The Fifth Ward Republican club held a
well attended and harmonious meeting Tues
day night In McKinney's han on Sherman
avenue and Locust street. One of the first
things done was the passing OF a resolution
endorsing the candidates on the republican
ticket nominated at the convention held
September 8.
This resolution passed without a dissent
ing vote and was greeted with applause.
Several speeches were made during the
evening and all speakers advocated the
dropping of any little disappointments and
the banding together Of the club for Wig
orous and effective work In the fall cam
paign. Among the speakers were r. w.
Richardson and Henry Ostram who said
that republican principles we're above any
petty personal feelings and they thought
that the only thing to do was to turn
around and make republican success an as
sured thing by working with al their might
for the candidates nominated.
Among other speakers were Brice Craw-
ford, candidate for justice OF the peace,
Judge Kinksid and Mr.. Christie. They were
all for harmony and hard work. A resolu-
tion was passed with the end in view OF
having a rousing meeting next Tuesday
night. Special music will be had and the
presidents OF all the other republican clubs,
officers of clubs and candidates will be In
vlted TO take part in the meeting. Messrs.
Christie, Parker and Richardson were ap-
pointed q committee 10 make arrangements
for the meeting and a big time is anticl-
pated.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.


The Doodle talk which developed at the
meeting OF the Board OF Education Monday
night was one OF tho principal topics OF con-
versation on the streets yesterday. Those
who are at all familiar with the condition
OF school board affairs did not appear to be
surprised, but to a large majority the news
came in the nature Of a shock. The reputa-
tiou which the board has was shown by the
letter read by Member Freitas In connec-
ton with the agreement to pay a certain
sum for a teachers position. This letter,
Mr.. Freitag Gays, he never answered, but
he read 1t to show the impression which
seems to prevail in connection with the con-
duct of affairs by members OF the board.
or course Mr.. Wyman denies that he
ever sent word to Mr.. Stewart that it
would take $50 to secure the sale Of FIVE
typewriters and there the matter rests.
Those who demanded an investigation did
not persist and the probability is that the
matter viii be dropped.
Some OF those who are reputed TO be I'M
friendly to the board stated yesterday that
the contract for the new school building at
Twentieth and o streets would never be al
lowed TO go through. A restraining order
is threatened on the ground that the board
has exceeded its authority in allowing a
contract for q sum exceeding 5000. 1t Is
stated that there is a law preventing the
board from awarding contracts above the
sum mentioned, but II such is the case It
has been frequently violated. Last year
four rooms were added TO the Lincoln
school at a cost OF 81. 900 and there was no
complaint. Soon after this the Highland
school was erected at a cost OF over IS, 900
and this question Of law was never brought

Bellevue RnfIrond scheme

The old talk about building a transporta-
ton line to Bellvue is being revived, and
1t is reported that quite a number OF South
Omaha business men are now interested In
the project. The scheme is to organize a
railroad company with capital sufficient to
build a line to Fort Crook and Bellvue and
give half-hourly service, or less II occasion
requires. This has been talked over for a
number OF years, and at one time the Omaha
street railway company seriously contem-
plated the extension Of It's lines to Fort
Crook. The high price at which property
for right OF way was held killed this project
OF the Omaha company, and for nearly two
years nothing has been done in this direc-
ton. Those who are interested in the pres
ent scheme favor Incorporating as a rail-
road company, for the reason that 1t will
give the corporation the right to condemn
property for right Of way purposes, thus
getting around the paying Of high prices
for ordinary farm land.
Whether anything will come OF the plan
now under consideration remains to be seen.
but 1t is figured that an electric line run.
ming into South Omaha will assist materially
In bringing in a great deal of trade to this
city which now goes to Omaha. With a
reasonable fare farmers would. it 4, asserted.
drive to Bellvue and take cars to this cit,
70 do their trading, returning the same way.
The garrison at Fort Crook, while not large
at this time, may be increased and this
VIII be another source Of revenue as the
soldiers like to Visit the city. 1t is under
stood that a meeting OF those interested Is
to be called soon to consider the matter and
II agreeable to a majority an organization
Is to be formed.

Yesterdays developments disclosed the
fact that harmony is a stranger in the
democratic camp and that all sorts of dele
cations may be put up at the primaries on
Thursday. In the Third ward three different
delegations are liable to fight for supremacy
ana in the Fourth ward there will be at
least two delegations. The same condition
OF ahairs exists in the Second ward, but in
the First ward there may not be much of
a light, as the leaders are endeayoring TO
Keep down a squabble between the factions,
1t Is stated emphatically by the anti Ensor-
ties that they will not compromise, but in
stead will get out and fight any ticket the
Ensor faction puts up. An effort was made
to get these factions together in the In
terest OF B~roadwell, but while Broadwelrs
friends met with some success, the result
was not what was expected, and It now an
pears 10 II there would be another fight as
bitter as the last one. There does not seem
to be any great opposition to Br~oadwell ex-
cept from the anti Eneor faction. This fac
ton, 1t Is stated, Is not fighting BroadwelI
for any dislike, but for the reason that 1t
has been given out that Mayor Ensor and
MS friends will assists Broadwell in nam
Ing q delegation to the convention.
Harmony Is therefore a stranger in the
democratic camp today, although yesterday
the surface indications were for a single
delegation In every ward in the city.
