AS soon as Mercer is beaten" declared
q republican who keeps abreast OF local
politics. you viii see the campaign start
for the nomination for congress in 1904.
The republicans who are opposing Mercer
are not opposed 10 him because he rs a

by an Omaha weekly paper said q
member OF the Omaha Typographical union,
Il see that Dave Mercer claims he has
been iDdorsed by the Allied Printing
Trades. Every member Of the unions when
compose the Allied Printing Trades will
laugh at this claim. but some people who
know little Of the manner in which the
unions work may be deceived. In the first
place, Mercer never secured such an in
dorsement because under the plan Of or
ganization Of the alliance be could not
have done so. The Allied Printing Trades
councils are purely local affairs. They are
organized by delegates from the Typo
graphical union, the Pressmen's union and
the Bookbinders' union for the purpose ~
dealing with local trade conditions. The
national organization, previous TO it's disco
luton, was composed of the international
presidents and secretaries of the unions al
lied locally, and they met TO discuss trade
matters only as they mad international cf-
feet. The Omaha Allied Printing Trades
council never could indorse a candidate,
neither could it denounce one. But this
claim Of Mercer lie about as trustworthy as
others he has made
Omaha daily bee., 1902-11-02

The poster stage Of the Mercer campaign
has been inaugurated. The nonresident con
gresham is 10 make an appeal TO prejudice
in that city while appealing TO voters on
another score in other parts of the district.
in South Omaha there will be presented what
will purport to be facsimile reproductions
Of the World Herald containing matter de-
nounciDg the Roman Catholics and Irish
and IL will be urged that the candidate for
congress opposing the nonresident is OPP
posed TO people OF that religion and race.
At the same time MIR. Mercer will point to
his record on certain questions in congress
to show the voters who are not Roman
Catholics OF Irish that be is the kind OF a
man they need in congress to carry out
their desires. In other parts OF the city
the posters will contain a pictorial state
ment OF the claim that Mercer is opposed
10 the gamblers and the IMMORAL element
Of the community. In this connec-
tion is is known that Mercer and
his champions on the Board Of Fire and
Police Commissioner have already made a
hid for the support of the gamblers Of
Omaha and that through other channels
the candidate for congress has attempted
to secure the support OF the South Omaha
gamblers. An attorney for the South Omaha
gamblers is on the Mercer ticket for county
attorney and the weight Of that ONCE, in
case he is elected, is threatened against the
South Omaha gamblers not in line for
Mercer. In Omaha assurances have also
been made that the policy wheel may whir
and the games run without hindrance #
the gamblers will only throw their support
20 the candidate Of the railroads and the
corporations.

Another direction in which Mercer has
been almost as lavish as with his money
has been in the distribution Of promises
OF appointments 70 federal Offices. Al
though the senators have the decisive voice,
Mercer and his managers have promised
every federal position in the district sew
eral times over. With the help Of Indian
Supply Agent Jordan they have been carry
ing 3 few extra men on the pay roll at the
Indian supply warehouse temporarily with
promises Of permanent employment. Places
in the consular service have also been
freely disposed of in prospect, and there
are three or four Germans, two or three
Swedes and half a dozen native born earn
ing lucrative consulships by putting in
their time plugging for Mercer among their
countrymen. Some Of them. however. who
compared notes the other day, discovered
how they we're being buncoed and pulled
out.

Governor Ferguson Names

KI0WA AND ANAOARKO
These Men viii Look After
Their Counties Exhibits.

Guthrie. O. T., Jan. 19.-Governor Tom
Ferguson today announced the appoint
ment of E. w. Kimber, editor of the
Hobart Republican, TO be an honorary
commissioner for Kiowa county 20 the
st. Louis exposition.
Henry II. Dodd Of Anadarko was made
honorary commissioner TO the st. Louis
exposition for Caddo county.
These appointments were made as a re-
suit af the conference with the st. Louis
commission members in this city few
days ago. It was determined at that
time 10 appoint honorary commissioners
from every county in the territory TO as
sist IN arranging for an exhibit at St.
Louis. The new counties are actively at
work arranging for an exhibit and have
been the first to ask for an honorary
commissioner. Owing 10 the lack of funds
the commission decided that it would be
impossible TO make a specific county dis
play unless tho county should arrange
for expenses to the amount of $3.50 for
this purpose. If this is done. a county
risplay will be made and viii be in charge
of the honorary commissioner as far an
possible.
The work of arranging for the exhibit
viii be IN progress from this time IN. and
from the enthusiasm displayed already,
Oklahoma will not take back seat when
It comes TO an exhibit of products.

all the desirable land open for homestead
entry has been fled upon. 1t Is reported
at the land Office that there are more
than 500 relinQuishments made at this
time. and all OF the land relinquished has
been fled upon again Some of the claims
are good ones. and are sold at a good
sum. Some settlers, especially young men
from the cities who were fortunate in the
drawing, believe that selling the relin-
Quishments means more money for them
than to held the land and farm it or raise
stock In many cases the lucky persons
in the drawing have not the means 20 set

it is believed viii he much cheaper than

prices good land commands. There were
about 800 claims fled on as d result Of
the drawing. If the estimate of third
relinquishing is correct, this means POO
filings must be again recorded on the
books Of the land Office. This amount Of

HOBART Is DYNAMITED
New Town Is Mystified Over Unac-
countabIe Explosions.

Hobart, o. T., Jan. 13.-About o'clock
Wednesday nigktjust as the peaceful peo-
pie of Hobart were preparing to retire
for the sweet repose they have been ac-
customed 10, they were startled by the
deafening sound of dynamite cartridge,
says the News.
Everybody VINO could get out was on
the streets as soon as possible. and start
ed in the direction of the sound
Immediately after the explosion a cry
of fire was raised, and it was discovered
a part OF the substance Of the shell had
been carried to the roof of the Clyne
building.
The bomb was discharged in the rear OF
Hooks & Hines saloon. a distance of 100
feet from the Clyne structure. It was
soon found that the Clyne building was
on fire, but the vigilant efforts of citizens
soon extinguished the flames.
From the rubbage in the near vicinity
of the explosion, Indications are that the
bomb contained black powder and nitro
glycerin. Several theories have been ad-
varced for the cause Of the explosion,
but all agree that it was intentional, but
no one knows the purpose OF it.
Some say that perhaps the guilty rar-
ties were simply attempting to accustom
the people to loud explosions. so they can
later blow open a safe and little attention
viii be paid to the sound.
Others say perhaps safe-blowers lid the
work in orler TO attract people to the
west side of the square, so that they
could operate on the east side.
Hook & Hines say they know of no enc
mics in the city, and don't believe It was
done TO injure them. Officials of the kio-
wa State bank, adjoining Hook & Hines,
say they have no .dea Of the cause.
Two weeks ago Saturday night some
thing happened in almost the same place
There was no schrapnel or anything Of
the kind in the bomb. but there Was a
great amount of binding twine scattered
all over fhe block
