AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Talk of Issuing Bonds to Take Up Floating
Debt CT the City.
PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS CROWDED

Road Tracks.

What South Omaha needs more than it
! does almost anything else is the passage
| of a law whereby the city will be enabled
to take up it's outstanding obligations and
thus reduce the rate of interest now being
| paid" This was said by a business man
who makes a practice Of buying city war
rants for the money that accrues from the
interest.
South Omaha" he said, "could save thou
sands OF dollars yearly by having a charter
which would permit the taking up Of the
overlap and the setting aside Of a sufficient
sum for the repair of the paved streets.
AS it is now the paved streets are In a
deplorable condition and city officials say
that there is no money on hand to make
improvements" 1t is a fact that all OF the
guarantees made by paving companies ex-
pired some time ago and that now the city
is compelled to do it's own repairing
Twenty-fourth street is in bad shape and
property owners on the street say that the
only thing to do is to lay another pave
ment-and lay 1t right. Repairs made
yearly at a cost of 81, 500 do not last and
the street now is really a disgrace. Along
L street the pavement is In bad shape, and
so it is on other paved streets. A general
overhauling Of the paved streets Is needed,
but this cannot be done unless money Is
provided. The street repair fund is not
sufficient to take care Of the paved streets
and pay proper attention to the ones not
paved. 1t has been suggested that in case
the proposed charter does not pass that a
special election be held for the voting Of
bonds for TIE purpose of raising money for
the taking up of the overlap and the neces-
sary street repairs. Should this be done
the expense Of a special election now would
be no more than the interest on outstand-
ing warrants, and at the commencement
of the next fiscal year the city could start
in with practically no debts aside from the
regular bonded Indebtedness.
Increased ENROLMENT.
The rapid increase in the enrolment OF
pupils at the public schools calls for more
room in every ward in the city. Within a
week or two the four rooms at Lowell
school will be completed, and 1t may be
that the board may see fit to start the
rooms by the appointment OF four additional
teachers. As the term is so near its close
this is hardly deemed necessary, but still
It MAJ be done.
Superintendent Mclean is authority for
the statement that considerable more school
room will have to be provided by the time
the schools open in the fall. II the board
has any intention Of taking care of the
children Of school age.

To the Voters Of Mississippi.

To tie Democratic Voters of Mississippi:
At a meeting Of the supporters Of NJ al.
Vardamar. held iii the city of Jackson,
in which sixty-four counties>were actual
ly represented by large representative
delegations, it was resolved to frame an
address to the Democracy of Mississippi,
giving the history of the campaign which
ended August 9th, and stating the rea-
sons why J. K. Vardamsn should be ac-
lively and enthusiastically supported by
the Democrats Of Mississippi from now
until August 9th, and voted for by
them on that day.
About twelve months ago Major Var
daman commenced his canvass tor the
Office OF governor. and has prosecuted
the same without the aid of any organi
cation, without the expenditure of
single dollar except for actual travelling
expenses, and without making single
pledge or promise to any person to ap-
point any one to any Office in case he
should be nominated On the contrary
he has repeatedly refused to make such
pledges, and has repeatedly declared
that the offices which are appointive by
the constitution should be filled by the
governor solely on the idea that the
good people should only be consulted,
and that it is greater wrong to pur-
chase mans vote or support by the
promise Of an office than it is to pur-
chase his vote outright for an actual
cash consideration. The federal repub-
lican appointees of the present national
administration have opposed Major
Vardamar, and so far as they have been
able to Use any influence have exerted
1t against him, and will continue to do
so in the canvass from now on until the
primary on the 9th. The same may be
said with reference to the appointive
office holders of the present state admin-
istration, with few exceptions.
In addition, the newspapers and re-
pertorial trust of the city of Jackson,
presided over by Rooseyelt's referee,
have waged most hostile campaign
against him. In the face of this opposi.
ton, Major Vardaman polled on Aug.
s, as against his two opponents, nearly
one half of the popular vote. and received
one hundred and twenty-eight electoral
votes, Or within six of enough votes to
have given him the nomination. A
change OF seventy-fve votes in four
counties would have nominated him.
The Bolivar County Democrat. (Rosedale, Miss.) 1887-1969, 1903-08-22

For many years the Democratic voters
OF Mississippi have been impatient and
discontented with the method of nomi
mating state officers by delegated con-
ventions. They were impressed with
the idea that local official bosses dictat
ed the naming of the delegates to state
conventions, and that these delegates so
named always nominated for state Off
GERS representatives of the office holding
class, and consulted the wishes of that
class rather than the people at large
This 81 owing discomfort resulted in the
passage of primary law in 1902, and
the primary election of the 9th was
the first primary election Fever held in
Mississippi at which every voter had an
opportunity to express his wishes tree
from the dictation Of any office holder.
James K. Vardaman is the representa-
tive of this idea and has conducted his
canvass upon this platform. He has
promised no individual man anything.
but has pledged himself, and now again
pledges himself, to the people, as distin-
guished from the Office seekers, and if he
is elected by the people their wishes alone
will control and he will be governor for
the people, and not for any ring of offic.
holders. Major Vardaman alone of the
three candidates voted for on Aug. 9th
appreciated the fact that there is now
pendinfi race issue and that this CUES
ton, so far as the people of the south are
concerned, is vital one. For the people
of Mississippi to vote against Maj. VAR
daman would be encouragement to Pres
ident Roosevelt to continue along the
lines which have precipitated this ques-
ton, and would be distinct departure
from the policy heretofore adopted by
the Democracy of Mississippi in handling
the negro question, and which has al
ways kept the white people OF MISSISSIPPI
pi united and proved an ehectual bull
wark against negro domination.
If, therefore, the Democrats of Missis-
sippi desire to nominate man for the
high place of governor who shall repre-
sent the ideas which resulted in the pri-
mary election law of 1902, and whoee
election will be in keeping with the ideas
of Democracy from the historic days of
1875 down to the present, to- wit, white
supremacy, then we say Major James K.
Vardaman should be voted for by them.

BRAVERY OF AMERICAN SAILOR
Hero of One of Most Notable Deed,
Ever Performed.


What threatened to be one of the
worst disasters in the history of ship
ping was the burning of the Ocear
Monarch. The fire was discovered in
her fore hold an hour or two only at
ter she left the Mersey. There was q
strong breeze and she was headed fol
the Welsh coast.
By some unlucky accident an anchor
was dropped and the big ship was
brought up all standing, head to the
wind. The flames came roaring aft,
where 600 passengers and crew were
crowded.
A Brazilian frigate, yacht and a
pilot boat were near, but they only
attempted to pick up those who
jumped and swan. Suddenly up came
an American clipper, and rounded into
the wind barely 200 yards away. In
her first boat was Frederick Jerome,
only an able seaman, but one of the
bravest seamen that ever lived. In a
flash his boat was alongside the burn.
ing ship and he climbed on deck amid
the scorch and smother. There he
stayed until the last soul of 600 was
saved. His clothes were on fire seven
separate times, and he was scorched
almost beyond recognition.-Ex-

ever, that he has yellow streak"
. ready to stop, and they might as well
make the best of 1t. He carried them
right past the parsonage and never
let up trotting at his dead level gait
till he reached the hotel, and then
he turned in at the driveway and
stopped in front of the porch as I'M
concernedly as if that was where Grid
ley had headed him for at the start.
"Gridley was hopping, mad. He
wanted to thrash the big bay and then
hire another horse that was not preju
diced against matrimony and go back
to the parsonage and get married after
all. But the girl wouldn't do it. She
was inclined to be superstitious, and
she argued that Fate had directed the
maneuvres and that the bay horse had
been inspired by Providence to break
off the proposed marriage. Gridley
didn't agree with her. He gave the
the devil the credit for the perform
ance rather than the opposing power,
but the girl was set in her opinion and
wouldn't give in, SO they never got
married"
Ellsworth paused and looked at his
wife curiously. Her face was flushed,
and its expressions ran the gamut of
hystericaI mirth.
But don't see" she said presently
"why you should dislike Mr.. Gridley
on that account. Perhaps 1t was not
exactly honorable to propose a sudden
marriage as he did, but the girl SEEM
ed willing, and 1 don't see why you
should put all the blame on him.
Many other men-indeed, 1 may say
most other men-would have done the
same thing"
''Oh, I'm not finding fault with him
for that little escapaue in ITSELF said
Ellsworth. What I blame him for
is the fact that when he was trying
to persuade that girl to marry him
on the sly he was engaged to some
one else
Mrs. Ellsworth's eyes opened wide.
then narrowed ominously. He WASP"
she cried. How do you know that?"
1T is easily figured out. That took
place in the late summer Of 1900"
Well" she said, what does that
proven"
Ellsworth stood up and looked at
her fixedly Proven he echoed 1T
proves everything. 1t proves that Grid
ley's got that yellow streak 1 always
credited him with. I've never said
anything to you about it, butt know
lots of things you think 1 don't know.
I know Gridley was Iond of you. In
short, I know you were engaged to
him at that very time, and I-oh, hang
it all, can't you see what l mean? !
don't so much mind your having been
engaged to him-a fellow expects q
girl to figure in two or three little
affairs of that kind before she finally
settles down with the right one now
adays- 1t Is the fact that he was
about to play you q mean trick and go
on and make love to some other girl
