Negro Makes an UnprOvOked Assault
Upon Daniel J. Glib

REIMBURSEMENT. OF the ThenterE.

Friday evening at the Boyd Mrs. Left
fingwelrs Boots" comedy by Augustus
Thomas, will be offered for the first time
in Omaha. The company is under the di-
rection of Charles Frohman, which ought
to be a sufficient guarantee of the excel
lence of the organization. This was one
of last seasons greatest successes in New
York and is now making its first tour OF
the country. The plot of the play lie woven
about a prank played by a graceless scamp
on his jealous sister and jealous hus-
band. He incorporates Mrs. Leffing-
wells boots by placing them outside the
door OF the room occupied by the am
anced husband of his sister, and this starts
the row that is finally cleared up by con-
fession.

entire ticket" said the speaker "A man
is not dishonest just because he be a demo-
crat or republican, and there will be more
or less corruption. whether the party in
power he republican or democrat The
democrats, are making a great hue and
cry about trusts and corruption without
reason, Partisans should meet one an
other and reason together and every par
tisan should know why he aflliates with
any particular party"
OF the tariff the Judge said he believes
the tariff should be revised only where
absolutely necessary and that domestic
labor should be protected. OF the national
currency he said the United States has the
finest currency in the world. He devoted
some time to the trusts and monopolies
and said the people can be trusted and II
is the sentiment of the American people
to be kair.
1.-THE present cutlery against the corpora
tions has much foundation of fact We
must use caution in handling the issue
before US" declared the Judge.
Candidates Ed Simpson and Charles
Fields made short talks. Billy Kierstead
announced he would bear the expenses
of the club for this year, whereupon Leroy
Lucas moved Mr.. Kierstead be given life

Financial Loss Because EngI-

Paving work ali over the city is being
delayed by limitations Of the city engi-
neeTing department due to short funds
Contractors for several days have besieged
the city hall demanding the setting Of
stakes so they can move ahead with their
work. Every available engineer or engi-
neer student, from Assistant City Engi-
neer Craig down. has been pressed into
active service and the drafting room is
deserted, but the force cannot lay out the
work fast enough for the PAYERS The
latter are doing their best to take advan-
tage OF the fine weather but ind themselves
much handicapped by the conditions in the
engineering department.
Added to the short funds and an obvious
impossibility Of hiring enough men at fair
wages the department is confronted with an
enormous demand from railroad and other
sources for men who know anything at all
about handling a transit instrument or
acting as rodmen. New construction by
the Union Pacific, Burlington and other
roads is draining the available supply of
young and old engineers, Within the last
few days the city engineering department
has lost two engineers and two rodmen.
One OF the latter Immediately was placed
in charge of an instrument, showing his
proficiency.
All Get More Pay.
All had their wages much increased.
One man who was drawing only $50 per
month from the city was given 500 month
from the railroad that employed him.
II do not see how they can keep any
