and Then Schaaf and His
Ticket Will Rest Their
Case With the People
Big Crowd Expected.

The campaign in Hammond Will be
wound up in this city with the big rail-
ly at Towles opera House tonight. At

Reiter will also make an address. There
will be other prominent republicans on
the platform and some red hot speeches
will be made.
Those who are interested in Schaafs
candidacy will find the meeting to-
night an enthusiastic and spirited af
fair The Schaaf men are confident Of
victory at the polls Ia spite of the large
amount of money that is spent and
both Becker and Schaaf men viii hear
something of the desperate methods
that are being used by the Becker
crowd to influence the voting at the
last moment.
The rally tonight will be big af-
fair and will go a long way toward
crystalizing public sentiment in favor
of Schaaf. It is likely that the methods
that the Becker gang used to get out
the crowds will be missing in view
of the fact that the Schaaf men have
not the thousands Of dollars at their
disposal that the Becker crowd has on
tap.
| But the rally is expected to be one OF
the most memorable political meet
ings ever held in Hammond. one that
will be talked OF for years. and there
will be some things presented to the
people of this city that viii set them

will be packed to the doors. and that

He has proven his business capacity
in many positions of trust, and through
his own efforts has become an acknowl-
edged leader. not only in political, but
in business circles.
Richard Schaaf's success is laid on
broad and deep foundations. and so uni
dertakes that he seems to know no such
word as failure"
Personally Schaaf is genial and vet
sincere. His face beams with his hon
esty of purpose. To know him is to be
his friend and to have his friendship is
to value it highly.
Peter Ripley.
The candidacy of Peter Ripley for
the office of city clerk has caught the
public fancy and his friends, who are
urging his election. find that their ap-
peal for votes is meeting with a hearty
response everywhere.
Ripley is 29 years old, and has lived
in Hammond practically all Of his life
He has held but two positions-with
the G. II. Hammond company and with
the Simplex Railway Appliance com
pany-but he has filed these with great
credit to himself
Ripley has wide acquaintance in
the city and his friends know him to
be cheerful and optimistic He always
has smile on his face in spite of the
fact that he has a physical handicap
and is bravely meeting the burden Of
caring for a widowed mother and her
seven children. The burden he is car
rying every day refutes the claim that
he is not a taxpayer. He is paying a
heavier tax, a more exacting tax. than
many OF those who criticise him. Peter
Ripley is well qualified for the Office
to which he aspires
Paul B. Lipinski.
Paul Lipinski is the republican nom
inee for city treasurer. Whether he
could improve upon the method and ef-
fectiveness of the present incumbent is
an open question. Whether this would
be so or not, there is one thing certain.
Mr. Lipinski would continue in the Of
fee all the better methods that have
OF late years been adopted in the city
treasurer's office. He is amply quail
fed to administer the affairs Of the
4 Office. He Is handler Of much mon

GOOD MEN NAMED.

The republican aldermanic tick
ct is the most representative tick
ct ever placed before the voters of
Hammond. In its makeup are
factory men, business men and men
from various lines of work. The
republican party believes that the
council should be made up of men
from these various lines Of work
and so it nominated just such a
ticket. Such council will be able
to handle it in an intelligent man
ner and with correct understand
ing of all conditions. Because the
republican aldermanic ticket is
such representative ticket and
because every man on it is a man
of highest honor and integrity the
republican ticket should have the
support of every voter, whether
republican or democrat, who be-
lieves that the city affairs should
be administered in a business-like
manner.

Teamsters Deny Charge.

Fred SteIow, the business agent Of
the teamsrers' union. denies that Law
renee Becker can buy the union with
cigars and beer. He says that the
proposition was put up to the men dur
ing the meeting to vote for the best
man. in view of the fact that Schaaf
has always been right with the unions.
Stelow says that Scnaaf would have
been just as welcome at their meetings
as Becker and that an effort was made
on the part of some of Schaafs friends
among the teamsters to find Schaaf and
bring him to the meeting.
Stelow denies that ne is for Becker,
and pointsto his activities during the
republican primaries as evidence of the
fact.

bureau, who committed suicide in this city
Saturday, was opened this morning. A
drawer contained a box of cartridges, five
OF which we're missing. Inc a slip Of paper
in Mr.. Bainbridge's handwriting describing
himself as beset by a plot" None of the
Official papers found. however, disclose the
slightest evidence that the department was
dissatisfied with Mr.. Bainbridge's work.
Washington had sent neither criticism nor
reproach, and a letter received this morning
from James Burton Reynolds. assistant
secretary Of the treasury, was of the most
friendly character. II is known that Wash
ington fully approved of Mr.. Bainbridge's
action In a recent smuggling case.
The documents found confirmed the opin-
ion previously entertained at the consulate
that Mr.. cambridge had broken down from
overwork, that he was temporarily insane.
and that he took his life while suffering
from the mania of persecution. On Friday
OF last week he sent a telegram to Mr..
Rowland, his assistant. who was on a
vacation, urgently requesting him to return
to Paris TO aid in the investigation OF the
trunk smuggling cases. regarding which
Mr.. cambridge was greatly worried. The
cabled reports that the agent had been
reprimanded in connection with these cases,
however, are untrue.

ROME, April 1e.-In the presence of 10000
French pilgrims, practically af the bishops
of France, many cardinals and family de-
scendants of the new saint, the solemn
ceremonies i'm the Identification of Joan Of
Arc were carried out In st. Peters Sunday
According to the Rubric, the pope does not
attend Qualifications in person, but as a
mark of special devotion he assisted this
afternoon at a solemn benediction. which
replaced the ceremony of the generation
of relics, none existing in this case.
Soon after daybreak streams of pilgrims
began to arrive in every imaginable con-
veyance. They crowded the great edifice
and at 9aD o'clock myriads of electric lights
burst out and the organ Numbered. The
long procession of cardinals took their
places. In the special galleries were the
duke Of Alencon, the sisters of the pope
and a number of French notabilities.
The basilica presented a fiery-like appear

cries, and everywhere strings of electric
lights were artisticslly arranged. Huge

The Elks have started something at the

tests on for the most popular woman wage

The woman who wins goes to the Seattle

the best is yet to come. Beginning at noon
today the wheels will move full force. Much
Is to be made this week of the Cinderella
dance and those people who were crowded
out of the Coliseum last fall may satisfy
their desires to see this fantastic show of
art by the same children who presented It
at the Ak-Sar-Ben den. But the children
have been more thoroughly drilled and
practiced and consequently are far more
skillful than they were last fall. Prof,
Chambers has them in charge.
The dance Is given in the evening on the
stage between theSB Bohemian and japanese
villages. And these places themselves are
works of art as well as engines Of utility,
for there are hungry to be fed, while the
dance goes on.

Registering
In Books Placed in Omaha Drug
Stores Long List Of Names
Already Appears.

People Of all ages. classes and occupation
are being brought together under one head,
that OF being Omaha High school gradu-
ates, by the alumni registration books that
have been placed in several OF the down
town drug stores for that purpose.
A Judge OF the district court, several doc
tors, a number of business men and men
Of various lines Of work, with a. large per-
centage of women, many OF them now
married. make up the lists, which have
been growing by leaps and bounds since
the books we're placed in the stores a few
days ago. Already over fifty names have
been Inscribed in them, although but two
or three days have elapsed since they first
made their appearance, so IL is safe TO say
that the registration will number in the
hundreds, even the thousands, before the
next annual meeting of the Alumni asso-
citation is held. the latter part Of June.
Miss Louise Northrop, 's, president Of
the Alumni association originated the idea
and placed the books in the stores, with a
placard asking graduates OF the Omaha
High school to sign their names. addresses
and class numerals, and to spread the idea
by getting other alumni to DO so. Several
more books are to be placed in other stores
soon. in order to get as large a registration
as possible.
Judge Howard Kennedy Is one of the
more prominent alumni of the school who
has already placed his name in one Of the
books. He graduated in 1885. Mrs. David
Gross OF 24S2 Franklin street, holds the dis
tlnction of belonging to the earliest class
of which "a member has yet signed up.
She graduated in 1876. So far, five persons
whose names appear on the books, now live
in other cities than Omaha. Edward NJ.

The bishop OF Orleans then said the first
