Troops Had nm Active Day.
From daybreak the troops were
active in quelling disturbances n
protecting non-union men while on
their way to work. AS has been the
case for the past few days, the
troops were jeered wherever they
went. The officers repeatedly admon-
ished the crowds not to insult or mo-
lest the soldiers, but their words had
but little effect. At five o'clock Com
panies X. and E. were placed in two
trolley cars. One of the cars was
run in front of the a which carried
the n~on-union men to work and the
other Tin the rear. While passing
through Coaldale and Lansford the
soldiers were hooted, but as no stop
was made, the strikers did not make
any violent demonstrations. At Sum-
NIT Hill about double the usual num-
Der of men availed themselves of the
protection of the soldiers and went
to work. The pickets of the strik-
ers made efforts to stop them, but
the warnings of the soldiers held
them at bay.
On the Return Trip.
When the workmen had been load
ed on to the cars, the return trip
through the valley commenced. Ihe
word that more men than usual were
reporting for work speard through
the lower part of the valley like wild
fire and in a short time the streets
were almost blocked with people.
| When the corner of Center and East
Bertsch streets was reached, the cars
stopped to allow several n%on-union
men to get off. AS the men stepped
to the ground the mob made a rush
| for them. A half-doZen soldiers
sprang off the car and with leveled
guns forced the strikers back and
made a passageway for the n%on-union
men. When the soldiers returned
after escorting their charges to a
place of safety, the mob commenced
to close in around the cars.
Strikers in Ugly Mood.
The strikers were in an ugly mood,
and when ordered to dispense, merely
yelled louder and pressed closer. AS
Capt. Helm of ompany X was about
to jump from the car he was seized
around the legs. and thrown to the
ground. A half-doZen privates who
followed him were roughly handled.
| One of the men had a portion of his
shirt torn off and, according to the
enlisted men and the officers, a num-
Der of blows were struck. Maj. Gear
hart, who was in command of the
two companies, then ordered his men
to disembark. With clubbeu guns
and fixed bayonests the soldiers
forced the crowd back. Many of the
strikers stood their ground and
would not move until the soldiers
jabbed them with their bayonets.
Feared tho Troops Void Fire.
Some of the strikers, fearing that
the troops would fire, rushed into the
opera house on the corner and for a
time a wild scene of confusion
reigned. In about five minutes the
crowd had been pushed back to the
curb line. In the melee several of the
strikers we're knocked down while
others suffered slight bayonet
wounds. Capt. Helm was severely
bruised by his fall.

LARGE CROWD FROM KANSAS
Five Thousand Delegates Are Counted
On tn ChrIstinn Church
Convention.

"Kansas, 5000 is the motto Of the COM
mittee appointed at Topeka Thursday by the
state convention Of the Christian church to
arrange for an excursion Of delegates from
the church of that state to the national
convention at Omaha. This committee was
appointed after addresses made by Judge
W. w. Slabaugh and c. s.. Paine. who went
to Topeka to fill the place assigned to w.
T. Hilton. who is now in Colorado.
Judge Slabaugh and Mr.. Paine returned to
Omaha yesterday and report the great
est enthusiasm on the part Of the Kansas
members Of the church on the subject OF the
convention. Before they arrived tentative
arraD pigments had been made for the ex-
cursion from the suniower state. They will
come from the southern and central parts
Of The state over different roads to Kansas
City. where. October Is, they will form the
oflcial train which will arrive in Omaha
that evening over the Burlington. At the
head Of the onncial party will be the officers
OF the Kansas state societies and II will
be composed OF delegates from the majority
Of the churches in the state.
The committee having the work in charge
is composed Of w. S. Lowe, Charles A.
Finch and e. F. Mallory Of Topeka, S. w.
Brown Of Beloit, A. Dubber Of Wichita and
w. S. Priest Of Atchison. F. W. Emer-
son, prohibition candidate for governor oil
Kansas, will be here.
The Iowa convention was in session at
Boone while the Kansas convention was in
session at Topeka. and w. b. Crewdson,
pastor OF the Christian church at Council
Bluns, returned yesterday from that con,
v~ention, where he represented the Local
convention committee. Iowa Is as enthusi
astic as Kansas, and having a much larger
population of members Of the church ex.
poets to send a larger crowd.
Colorado has decided to make a UNIQUE
showing. The delegates will not only shov
the development Of the church work in tina
state, but will make an active bid for i'm.
migration. The persons in charge OF tn,
work in that state have requested the loca
committee to reserve them a large space
and say that they will display pictures o
the leading ministers Of the state and o
the churches for the purpose OF showing tn
missionary field which is awaiting develop
ment. In addition to this the railroads ar
cooperating with the state committee, an
a part Of the space will be used to displa.
the agricultural. horticultural and minera
resources OF the Centennial state.

pany In Illinois. / interested a number OF
well known and reputable men in the
formation Of a new concern and the Central
Loan and Trust Company Of Illinois was
born.
Between us / had to do some ground and
lofty tumblIng to get into position after the
result OF the Illinois state convention COM
ing out for Representative Hopkins for
United States senator and, having cut the
ground from under me so sar as Washing
ton was concerned, there was nothing left
to do but to get back into a business with
which | was perfectly familiar.
THE success Of the Central Loan and
Trust Company of Illinois has been really
remarkable. Within ten days Of the an
nouncement Of it's organization $5,OOO,00O
Of stock was subscribed for and I guess
that's the way l got the credit In the east
OF being associated with a trust company
that had "a. 900, 600 on deposit within six
days Of it's formation.
"As to politics in Illinois, while some
what chaotic Just at present, l have no
doubt but that conditions will materially
brighten as election day comes around. II
we elect a republican legislature Repre-
sentative Hopkins, who has been endorsed
by the state convention, will be elected
United States senator to succeed w. e.
Mason, in my judgment. Mason is de-
feated now, although he is crying Wolf,
wolf when we of the rank and file OF the
party have not been able to decry that ami
may anywhere in sight"
Mr.. Dawes incidentally said that with the
death of President Mckinley his interest
In Washington had largely ceased. He
confessed, however, that he would like to 90
back to meet some Of the old friends formed
during his connection with one Of the most
important branches of the Treasury de-
partment, but, as the old negro said, Use
little hopes"
Mr.. Dawes arrived in Omaha yesterday
morning from Chicago on his way to Lin
coin, where he will spend a few days.

ing yesterday and the good attendance
was the occasion for several changes in the
company's affairs.
Members have been dissatisfied with the
progress being made in the sale Of the
common stock Of the company and have
for some time been casting about to dis
cover the probable reason for the failure
Of the plan to become popular. John
BEGAN Ryan Thursday afternoon presented
his ideas on the subject In such a man
ner as to attract attention and yester-
day. by a unanimous vote, he was en-
ployed as manager Of the enterprise and
instructed to put his ideas into effect.
Mr.. Nettleton, who was brought from
Kansas City to act as superintendent Of
the enterprise, resigned, but his resigna-
ton was not accepted.
The board then discussed the reason for
the usually small attendance at the meet
ings and decided to try another meeting
place for a month. The secretary was In
structed to arrange with the manager of
the Millard hotel for a private dining
room at that house and a meal at 1880
O'Clock next Thursday, to which time and
place the board adjourned.

FIXES CARNIVAL BEHAVIOR
Chief of Police Will Prohibit Several
Annoying and Dangerous
Diversions

Unless he is instructed to the contrary
Chief Of Police Donshue intends 70 issue an
order which will take from carnival week
much OF the noise and confusion and a
quantity of the ginger. The order which
the chief contemplates issuing is to the eff
feet that during the Ak-sar-Ben festivities
there shall be no confetti thrown on the
streets, no explosive canes used, no blank
cartridges fired, no rubber balls attached
10 rubber strings smashing the hats Of pas-
sersby and no tin horns blown.
The chief will allow confetti throwing In
the carnival grounds. but this privilege has
a string to It. II will be permissible only
II the management OF the grounds agrees to
keep the streets In the enclosure absolutely
clean, free Of sand and dust. Those who
throw confetti will not be allowed to pick
a handful on of the streets to throw.
Il intend to Issue this order" said the
chief, because the throwing OF confetti is
dangerous and the other things mentioned
are annoying, and where one person enjoys IL,
nve hundred object. II may not be generally
known, but there were a large number OF
persons last year who came very near losing
their eyesight because Of the confetti throw
ing habit. Clean confetti, Of course, is not
dangerous, but the throwers do not stop at
that. They pick up the stun on the streets
and with It they get all kinds OF dirt and
sand and It lie too dangerous to permit.
THE blowing OF horns In persons ears
Is a nuisance and annoying. The shooting
Of blank reyolyers is dangerous. do NOT
intend to allow the discharge Of anything
like this, for the simple reason It gives
good opportunity for anyone who so desires
to IRE a loaded revolver and someone lie sure
to get hurt IL may be that ! will be re-
yersed on this order. but shall issue II
nevertheless. and II / am instructed "a
Tescind It l will. But ] believe II will meeI
with the endorsement Of the people. or al
least a large majority OF them"

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Project for Tannsry is Given Up by the
Commercial Club.
CITY DOES NOT TAKE KINDLY TO BONUS
Municipal Building Filled with Smoke,
but Little Fire-ImprOvements
at Cudahy PIant-MHgic
City Gossip.

The tannery project has gone up in the
air, at least as far as the South Omaha
Commercial club is concerned. President
Freitag stated to a Bee reporter yesterday
afternoon that the member of the club
and the business men in general did not
take kindly to the project. There was a
request by Mr.. Elliott Of Atlanta, Ca, for
the citizens of South Omaha to take a GER
tain amount Of stock In the proposed tan
merry. Mr.. Elliott alleged that he and his
partner, Mr.. Thaw, had control of a new
process for the tanning OF hides without
the use of bark. What these two promoters
wanted was to sell to South Omaha citizens
S25, 900 in stock, preferred. and reserve the
balance of stock for themselves In order
to secure the controlling interest. There
is a balance of common stock to be issued
and sold, but the chances are that 1t will
not be sold here"
BY those who have looked into the mat
ter 1t is asserted that IL the process for
tanning was of any great worth there
would be no need of issuing stock or ask
ing a bonus Of s25. 900, as has been de-
manded. AS far as the Commercial club is
concerned the project will be dropped.

Cudahy Makes improvements.
The Omaha Water company is engaged a
the present time in making some improve
l ments at the Cudahy plant. Some new
drains are being laid and additional waite

3 ments will probably occupy the balance 0

particular job. The estimated cost has no
been given to the public.

want the goods delivered right away. The
cause of the delay in delivering goods is
that teamsters cannot be found who will
work for the wages offered.
Much smoke, Little Fire.
The jailer at police headquarters at
tempted last night to start a fire in the
stove In the rear OF the city jail in order
to increase the temperature. 10 far no
steam has been turned on and city officials
have been wearing wraps Of all kinds and
descriptions. By some hook or crook the
stove would not work, as the chimney was
out Of order and so the police court, the
jail and the city Offices were filled with
smoke. Finally Chief Briggs decided that
the best thing to do was to put out the
fire and report the condition Of the chimney
to the agents of the building.
Inquest Continued.
Coroner Bradley held an inquest yesterday
afternoon over the remains of w. p. Sough-
ton, who was killed by a train in the north
yards a few days ago. Owing to the fact
that the coroner desired further information
an adjournment was taken until 1 o'clock
this afternoon, when other witnesses will be
summoned.
