Porter NJ. Jones left Omaha about a year
ago for ogden on a visit, but he liked the
climate and remained there, sending Tor
his wife. He was one Of the best known
printers in the west. He had been promi-
nent for years in the affairs of the union
having held every office up to president

gate to the international Typographical
union and was an organizer for IT,
Mr.. Jones was past 90 years OF age. He
married only a few years ago. 1t is doubt
full II any printer who ever worked in
Omaha had more friends among the men of
the craft than he. These friends were
severely shocked at the news of his sud
den death. He was a man of superior
Intellectual qualities and quiet and attrac-
tive in manner. .

BUSINESS
MEETING
Will be Held in Marion by

SIX HUNDRED GUESTS
Are Expected by the Local
Commandery.
A Parade will Probably be Given
but It will not Compare with That
Given at Cincinnati.

The meeting of the grand COM
mandery Knights Templars of Ohio,
which will be held next year in this
city, as announced in the Mirror
yesterday, will be merely business
session instead of an enormous gath
ering such as was held at Cmcin-
natl this year.
This was the announcement made
today by James A. Knapp, secretary
OF the Marion Commandery. There
were fully 10000 visitors from all
over the state at the Cincinnati
meeting and Marion could not Sac-
commodate crowd Of such proper
tions. The securing OF such q notable
gathering for Marion is fine COM
pliment to the city, however, as IL
will bring at least GOO visitors and
as other and larger cities endeavored
10 secure the meeting. There are
sixty-six communicates in the state
end each will send from three to
twenty-five delegates II is possible
that a parade will be arranged but
1t will not be as large as at the
Cincinnati conclave which closed
yesterday.

meeting OF the grand chapter r..
A. NJ. of Ohio, less than 400 vlsi-
tors being present. At thar time
there was not much dlhloulty exper-
fenced in securing quarters for the
visitors and as Marion is now far
larger the coming meeting will
not find the city unprepared to

ASKS NO SYMPATHY

The Mirror Gets Contract
for Printing Ballots.
Its Entering the Field to Bid Saves

$3.50. 90.

About $1S6 lower than the other
printing firms of the city was the bid
of the Marion Mirror Publishing com
pany for printing the ballots and
cards of instruction for the Novem-
Der election and the Mirror Publish
ing company was awarded the con-
tract by the board Of deputy supervIc-
ors of elections at a meeting last
night. The Mirror bid S149 for 10000
ballots and 500 cars of Instructions.
The next lowest bid was Sl36 higher.
Not only did the election board
award the Mirror this contract but
also the contract for printing the
names of the registered voters with
addresses. The Mirrors bid for this
work was two and three fourth cents
per name which was much lower than
any other bid submitted.
II has been several years since the
Mirror entered bid for this work.
not because the Mirror could not

the great amount of regular work
made It impossible to do the printing.
There Pre those who are wondering
If the Mirror did not spill the beans
by bidding on the work. All the
other bids were about the same. Rath-
err peculiar that the Mirror is able
to do the work 1896 cheaper than
any, of the Others and still make an
average profit on the job.
There Is a moraf to the story. The
Mirror does It work at prices tfat are
right and the Mirror gets the business
because II does not overcharge. Had
not the Mirror bid on this contract
it would have cost the county $3.50
more.

this was done. When the fact was
