Woman Claims to He the
Wife of Man Who Left
a Fortune.

SPOKANE, Wash, July 1S.-Mrs. Helen
M. Peyton, who has for years conducted a
restaurant in Denver, has entered suit here

estate of Colonel Isaac N. Peyton, president
of the Exchange National bank, who sold
an interest in the LIE Roi mine at Rossland,

G.. II. Morgan, where he amassed much prop
erty and married a widow under that name.
He had previously secured a divorce from
his first wife, but this, Mrs. Peyton declares,
was secured by fraud and is therefore void.
Denver attorneys have charge of the case.

DISORDER AMONG DEMOCRATS
Three Developments in the situation
at Chicago Bring Agitation
to the Ranks.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Three political
developments stirred the democrats in Chi
cago yesterday. One was the refusal of
Mayor Harrison on account of it's Obscure
origin to attend and deliver an address of
welcome at the Auditorium free silver meet
Ing on Thursday night. The second was a
verbal notice that the democratic national
| committee would be asked to repudiate the
Croker Hill Murphy machine in New York
and recognize the silver crowd. The third
was the statement that an effort would be
made to have a rule adopted that no man
who bolted the Chicago platform and ticket
in 1895 shall be eligible to sit in the ma
tional convention Of 1900 as a delegate.
On arriving at his office In the city hall
Mayor Harrison found w. H.. Coolings, in
v~itation to make a speech of welcome to the
assembled local and visiting democrats Oh
| Thursday night. He declined the proffered
honor. Efforts are being made by the Har-
rison leaders to induce as many of the ma
tional committeeman as possible to Ignore
the meeting. 1t was said that fully one
half Of them would not 60 near it. They are
being informed Of the purpose to influence
them into doing something which does not
properly come within the scope OF the com
mittee's functions.
The Altgeld forces have been reinforced
by the Chicago platform democrats Of New
York. Willis j. Abbott. the first emissary
to arrive. reported at headquarters in the
United building in the afternoon. He comes
as one of a committee of the silver party in
New York, to appear before the national
body and get a hearing as To what the situa-
ton is in that state. James r. Brown, who
was POSTMASTER of the dollar dinner" and
George w. Thompson are the other members
of the delegation, They will arrive today
Mr.. Abbott said that a great majority OF
the rank and file of the party in New York
is in favor of the "16 to /" issue and Of w.
]. Bryan for president. Croker. Hill and
Murphy, the leaders," he continued, ARE
opposed to free silver and Bryan, but they

Be Voted on Friday.

Remaining Omaha Wards, and
There is Harmony in

light IN SIXTH, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH

pired at noon yesterday and at that

tests against Judge Bakers delegation in

this leaves only three contests in sight to
infuse interest in the judicial primaries. In
the Sixth, both Judge Fawcett and j. II. Ma
comber have delegations in the field; In the
Seventh there is a contesting delegation rep
resenting George b. Day and A. s. Church
i'll as against Judges Baker and Powell, and
in the Eighth a delegation pledged to L..
D. Holmes contests the right of Judge
Keysor to denomination. In the remaining
wards. the absence of differences makes the
primaries uninteresting, and the South
Omaha republicans have united on a single
delegation.
In the wards in which no fights are sched-
uled Lee Estelle claims the votes of the
First and Second, the Third is for Slabaugh
and Baker, the Fourth is for Baxter. the
Fifth for R. w. Richardson, and the Ninth

But spring still comes as spring has done,

And every bird win build it's nest,
The sun sink daily I'm the west,

miliar with the name OF the owner, "Buf-
falo Jones'" His efforts to produce a breed
Of fur-bearing cattle by crossing buffalo and
Galloway cattle we're discussed at length in
the papers at the time. At another line he
unloaded for feed and rest one or more car
loads OF buffaloes at the South Omaha stock
yards which he had purchased in Manitoba.
To a good many in Omaha he was personally
known Therefore the announcement Of the
publication of his life has something in it
OF local interest. II is entitled Buffalo

the Efforts Of one who has devoted the best
years of his life to saving from absolute

He has also exerted his energies in behalf
OF the preservation of other animals Of his
native country. The field OF his labors en-
braced all of the great territory extending
from the Gulf Of Mexico to and including
the frozen wilderness Of the Arctic circle.

a popular edition OF Equality" Edward
Bellamy's great work, has been brought out.
The great interest shown in Equality as
the fullest exposition OF Mr.. Bellamy's social
and economic beliefs, has been intensified by
the progress of events since the original
publication. Recent rapid developments in
the methods OF business seem to have been
foreseen by the author, and, whether the
reader agrees with his deductions or not,
his presentation Of the outcome will be read
now with more interest than ever. In re-
Spouse to numerous requests and in accord
ance with the desire expressed by the au-
thor and shared by his family the present
popular edition of Equality" is now pre-
scented to the public. TIL portrait and BIZ
ographical sketch which have been added to
the book give 1t the character OF a memorial
edition. The biography gives some extracts
from some previous writings of the author
which illustrate the profound sympathy with
which all his work is permeated. While the
reading public is very familiar with the
writings OF Mr.. Bellamy 1t may be of inter-
est in this connection to mention a few facts
regarding the authors life. He was born
in Chicopee Falls, Mass, in 1850 and died
at his home in the spring of 1898. He was
educated at Union college and was admitted
to the bar in 1871. His inclination, however.
was for literature rather than for the law.
For several years he was engaged in journal
ism and story writing. He published his
first book in 1877. D.. Appleton G. Co., New
