The Rope is Ready.


 Everything is now in readiness for the execution of Will Harris, in the tower of the iail. Friday next. The hangman 8 knot has been tied, the rope has been creased and tied to the ring in the tower and a three hundred pound bag of sand attached to the end of the rope, was dropped through the trap yesterday, thus thoroughly testing its strength ana stretching it so that It will not be 100 long when Harris is dronped through the trap Harris has made full confession to your representative. acknowledging that he is guilty of the crime of assault ing and murdering little Matte Webb a colored girl. and says that this IS not his only offence. but he Is guilty ot several other crimes of d similar nature at his home in Allenton. Wilcox County, and in this city.
 The negro population of the city is greatly excited over the approaching eN- ecution of Harris, and great crowds or them flock about the jail in the hope of getting a peep at the Eondemhed mut derer. He expresses himself as being very desirous of making his peace with God but claims that the devil Is holding him back. He has not yet been baptized. hut hopes 10 make his peace with God before his soul is hurled into eternity. He is receiving visits from Colored minis ters of the city and informed your rep resentative that he hoped to get forgive ness for his many sins and he baptized in his bath tub in his cell before Friday next He wants to make an address to the crowd from the jail steps before he is hung warning others to beware of ms fate, but Sheriff Blackwell will deny him all of the privilege of going out Of tnls world in a pyrotechniC blaze of glory. He may allow him to say few words through the bars of the jail tower. and will give him all the time to pray that he may desire, but he will not be per mitted to make a hero of himself before the thousands of negroes who will gather about the jail when the trap is sprung and his soul goes before the God who is to judge it for the sins committed in this life

This morning when Marshall Johnson came down to his place of business on Water Street he found that his sign. which is on large plank, some foot wide and four feet long. was missing. Some one spied the sign about twenty feet from the ground on the electric light Water and Broad Streets. Some time during the dark honrs of the night some boys or young men, who thought it would be fun, took the sign from it's accustomed place on the wall and climb ed the post with it and hung it where 1t was found this morning.

ESTERLINE IN DIVORCE SUIT
Wife of Captain of Guards Says He
is Cruel and Inn
prOvident.

William H. Esterline, brought from st.
of the Union Pacific guards during the ma
chislsts' strike, has been sued for divorce
by his wife Jennie on the general ground
OF cruelty and nonsupport. The woman is
in st. Louis, having parted with her hus-
band here last week to return to that city.
In her petition she relates that they were
married May rs, 1892, in st. Louis; that on
September 2, 1898, he became angry over
her attention to the baby and absented him
self for a week, spending his money in pool
rooms and elsewhere; that on December 5,
1894, he had a similar tantrum because the
second child was a boy instead of a girl;
that in June, 1895. he went to Detroit to
enter the employ of a detective agency and
while there passed himself at The hotel as
a single man, courted the women of the
place, gave one of them a ring that be-
monial advertisements in the newspapers
that in November. 1898, when both the chill
dren were sick with typhoid fever, he
dressed up" one evening and was gone I'M
til 4 a. m, without consenting to make any
explanation when he returned; that on De-
cember 16, 1901, having lost his money al
gambling, he pawned her watch and Jew
elry, and thai while they were resident in
Detroit he once struck her in the breast
knocking her against the wall, and that
frequently he abused her in company and
threatened her. She asks the custody Of

THINKS THE VICTORY is WON
Representative of Machinists from
Washington Says Union Pa
cIhc Has Lost.

Arthur f. ireland, representative OF the
international Association OF Machinlsts,
with headquarters at Washington, is in
Omaha, having arrived from the west after
completing a tour Of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn. Mr.. ireland has made a careful study
of the conditions existing on the Union Pa
cihc and will make a report to the central
body when he returns to Washington.
Speaking Of the strike Of the Union Pacific
machinists and other shopmen, Mr.. Ireland
said: 1.-The defeat Of the company is in
evitable. Our men have stood firmly to-
gether during this strike. The Union Pa
cihc chose the wrong time to undertake
the task OF introducing piecework when
roads all over the country were voluntarily
increasing wages"
Mr.. Ireland was a potent factor in win
ming the great strike Of the Allis-Chal-
mers machinists in Chicago, which lasted
thirteen months.
Local strikers suggest that the SWITCH
men on the Union Pacific who have been
given a raise in their wages are the bene-
hciaries of the present struggle which the
shopmen are making against the company
and they believe these, as we'll as othSf
trainmen whose wages recently have been
raised. ought to contribute more literally
toward aiding the strikers.

COUNTY WILL GET ITS COAL
Contractor Says order VIII he Filled
from His Stock on
Hand.

Douglas county is not to suffer through
the inability of Victor White to secure coal
from Chicago. The order was sent to Chi
cage to save handling the coal twice, and
had 1t been filled the coal would have hecn
delivered direct to the court house from
the cars. As 1t is, the coal will be deliv-
cred from the stock on hand at the sheds,
which is sufficient to supply all ordinary
demands.
Coal dealers say that under existing con-
ditions Omaha is more likely to suffer from
a shortage OF soft coal, although that is not
expected, than from a shortage in the an
thracite supply. When the present shortage
and exorbitant prices became assured many
persons who have heretofore used hard coal
had the crates in their furnaces changed
for the use of soft coal. Others replaced
base burners with soft coal stoves, so that
the total consumption Of hard coal in tho
city will be much less than 1t has been for
many years. This change increased the de-
mand for soft coal
Some dealers express the opinion that
the shortage Of anthracite coal this year
will permanently reduce the consumption Of
that coal In this market, as persons who
have replaced base burners with soft coal
stoves and those who have had their fur
naces altered will not return to the use OF
hard coal, at least not until their present
stoves and furnaces must be replaced with
new ones.

ARGUES TO SAVE SPELLMAN
Lawyer Wants to Make Longer Talk Before
Submitting to Jury.
PROSECUTOR EXAMINES THE DEFENDANT
Young Man Says He Was Left Alone in
Gutter with Caldwell After He
Had the Lat
ter Down.

After talking to the jury two hours
yesterday afternoon, A. S. Richie, coun-
sci for the defense in the trial Of John
Spellman, charged with second degree muir
der of Earl Caldwell last September, said,
at Sis, that he would like to have a
continuance until this morning, promising
not to consume more than forty-five min
utes more. The judge granted the re-
quest with some reluctance, explaining
that the jurors had been held in the
custody Of the bailiffs since Tuesday and
that the court, which has other matters
set for today, had hoped that the present
case could be submitted last night. At
torney Gurley, counsel for Caldwells
widow, declared to the jury in his argument
for the prosecution, that were 1t not for
the prejudice existing by reason Of the
Union Pacific strike it would take no jury
more than fifteen minutes to bring in a
verdict OF guilty.
Yesterday the state had Spellman re-
called for REORGANIZATION and brought
out the circumstance that he was left alone
In the gutter with Caldwell after he had
knocked the latter down. Spellman testi-
fed that in falling after Caldwell from the
crossing into the ditch he alighted on his
hands and knees. witt his hands about
even with Caldwell's hips. and that he
struck two more futile blows as he was
%scrambling out.
Only Two In the Ditch.

"Were you looking for any?'
81 was not"
In rebuttal Police Captain Haze wes
called and testified that when he examined
the ditch the Tuesday after the fight he
observed that there was made earth about
1t with pieces OF brick and sticks lying
about promiscuously.
SPeIIman COntradicts FairBank.
A. f.. Fairbank, nonunion carpenter en-
ployed at the Union Pacific shops last Sep
TENDER, testified that on the nth of that
month John Spellman said, in the new oil
house and in Fairbanks presence: 81 would
like to lick one of those fellows and lick
him until he would stay licked. | would
give him a licking he would never forget"
Spellman denied ever making such state
ment and when confronted with Fairbank
in court this morning swore that he had
never seen the man before, so far as he
could remember.

BURLINGTON RAISES WAGES
Third Omaha Road to Grant Its Switchmen
the Chicago Scale,
ENGINEERS WILL MEET IN DECEMBER
Meeting for Purpose of Putting Fin
ishinG Touches ON Their Part of
Movement for General
Wage Increase.

The switchmen Of the Burlington in Ne
braska are the latest heirs in this part OF
the country to increased wage schedules.
They have secured the Chicago scale, which
gives foremen an advance of 4 cents an
hour and helpers 3 cents. Although this
schedule has just been granted. 1t dates
back to November Is.
The Burlington switchmen we're extremely
conservative and cautious in presenting
their demands, and all their negotiations
with the ~oficials we're guarded with ut
most secrecy. AS a result their delibera-
tions were brief and over before II became
generally known that they had asked for a
raise. This is the third road converging
in Omaha to grant the Chicago scale to Its
Nebraska switchmen, the Union Pacific be-
ing the first and the Illinois Central the
second.
1t has been learned from a representa-
tive railroad man who is in the city to
confer with ~ofAcials Of the Union Pacific
that the engineers and probably other
trainmen will meet in December and put
the finishing touches to their part Of the
concerted movement participated in by all
the roads Of the country for a general in
crease in wages.
To Present Local Grievance.
Some OF the Union Pacific engineers are
in the city awaiting a conference with
Superintendent Buckingham, but their mis-
sion, they say, has nothing Of vital inn
pSrtance to do with the wage question.
