Mr. Hhoomaker replied that that difficulty hail ben obviated , ( or the reason that the order of the court was Issued Wednesday night , and wrllliln the requlreil lime. Mr. Shcehan Insisted that them had been no fraud , surprise or deception and that the plaintiff should not have waluJ until the last ilar before bringing his action. Mr. Shoemaker had won such victories on Wednesday , and with this Idea , ho was of the opinion that he could take the earth away with him. The nominees of both the convention and the petition should KO on the ticket. "Thai's true , but 1 It not a fact , " said Judge Kcysor , "that Judge Ilolcomb was the regular democratic nominee by the conven tion and entitled to the designation of demo crat ? " Mr. Shcehan thought so , but Insisted that the petition candidates were entitled , to the party name , ns they were known to be democrats. Part of the democrats had lett the convention and had held another conven tion that wna democratic. From what he had read Judge Kcysor aald that be had been led to believe that JudgeIlolcomli hail been nominated by the regular convention and Sturdevanl by a bolting faction of that same convention. THSTIMONY AS TO FILINGS. Deputy County Clerk Ucdfleld was called ' ta n witness and testified that the certificate of nomination of state officers was filed In his ottlcc on October 29. There had been 110 ob jection , to his knowledge , flkd against designating certain candidates therein an straight democrats. Mr. Shoemaker argued that the offlce of county clerk was not the proper place where ths objections , If any , should bo filed. The petlton which was flleil was regular , but the secretary of state had no authority to desig nate that the nominees were straight demo crats. There was but one duty devolving upon the secretary of state , and that waste to decide upon the regularity or Irregularity of the nominations , his authority ending there. Ho ill.l not object to the certificate , but ha SS object to the principle which would designate one man as a democrat and another as a straight democrat. The men who wc-ro contending against the Issuance of the mandamus. Mr. Shoemaker declared , wore not fighting 'or Sturdevant , but were doing their work In the Interest of another man. Tom Majors ; they dIJ not cure for Sturdcvant and had no hopes of electing him their Idea being to confuse and. mislead voters , thereby hoping to help the man who had been nominated by the corporations and the railroad politicians. TOO LATE TO INTERFERE. In passing upon the case Judge Kcyaor held that the policy and the objects of the Australian ballot law were to protect the In terests of the voter on one hand and the candidate on the other. He said that It was true that the order had been Issued on Wednesday , but to his mind It was not such an order as was contemplated by the law , as the law apparently meant an Hlllrma- tlve order commanding the county clerk to do eomo certain thing concerning the ticket. The legislature evidently Intended that ob jections should be filed to the ticket not later than the Wednesday before the election , so that after that time the clerk could go on with making up the ticket without Inter ference. The court said that it appeared that the certificate had been duly Hied with the sccrotoiy of state on October 2C , at which tlmo the candidates objected to had been des ignated as straight democrats. From that data until Wednesday there had been no ob jections filed to the form of the certificate , though there had been plenty of time. On the. whole , Judge Keysor was of the opinion that the court was without jurisdiction , owing to the fact that the time for filing objections to the ticket had expired. Hav ing reached this conclusion , the writ of mandamus was denied and the action dis missed. BIMILAK O.tSU IN L.tNCASTEIl. Utlla Probability of Anything Heine < * c- rompllfllietl Itttforn IHrutlon. LINCOLN , Nov. 1. ( Special. ) James Mc- NorncT , Chairman of the Lancaster connty central committee of the people's Independent party , at 3 o'clock this afternoon applied to the district court' ' for a wilt of/ mandamus against County Clerk J. & Woods to. com pel him to print tho. county ballots with the bracket , and also to compel him to follow ( ho name of Candidate Sturdevanl with the party designation "democrat by petition. " The petition sets up that Silas A. Holcomb and other candidates on the ticket were nom inated by two distinct political conventions ; that there Is no such organization known as democrat and people's Independent , and that tho. defendant. Woods , refuses and intends to refusa to print the names of the aforesaid candidates according to law. The petition contends that the action on tha parl of plaintiff Is In violation of the order of the Lancaster coOnty district court , "heretofore matlo In an action pending In this court Mierein the > State of Nebraska ex rel , James C. McNerncy was plaintiff and J. D. Woods , county clerk of Lancaster county , Nebraska , defendant , and contrary to the law as In dicated and laid down by said court in said nctloil , ami has actually printed the official and sample ballot containing the names ot the aforesaid candidates followed by the words 'democrat and ' ' , people's Independent , In violation of low one of which ballots as printed Is heretofore attached and marked Exhibit A. ' The plaintiff prays that a peremptory writ of mandamus may Issue commanding the de fendant to print the ballots with the bracket and with the words following Sturdcvant's name on the ticket , "democrat by petition. " Th case Is set for hearing at 9 o'clock to morrow morning. BOMB INTERESTING ELEMENTS. County Clerk Woods was seen today by a representative of The Bee. Ho said that the ballots were all printed and that ha did not see how another set could be got out In tlmo to comply with the provisions of the taw relating to the tlmo In which the ballots must bo In the hands ot the judges prior to election. Interest In the ballot form Is wanIng - Ing , owing to the near approach of election ana the further fact that It Is quite certain that the Intent of the voter will be protected by the courts after he has deposited hU bal lot. It appears that there will be three forms of ballot used in the state , ono with the bracket , one with the word "and" and another with the hyphen between the words "democrat and people's Independent. " There will also be a fourth variation In York Connty , where the form of the ballot , as authorized by the court of that district , will bo as * follows : "Silas A. Holcomb , Democrat-People's Independent , " . This form brings the name of the candidate and. the parly designation on two Hues , as Is the case where the bracket Is utcd. if a motion Is made to punish the county clerk for contempt a peculiar point Is likely to bo raised. Last year Mr. "Woods refused to place party designations in three separate lines. Mandamus proceedings were begun , but tha court did not hand down its decision until after election. The decision was thnt each designation should go on n separate line. Tha recent decision In the IMgerton-Allen casa reaffirmed this. It is likely that the writ will Issue tomorrow , Tha county clerk SERIES NO. 43-44 THE AMERICAN ENCYCLOPAEDIC DICTIONARY. 42COPages. 260,000 Word * XKtruvciirK ASO VSKVOK. 4 E/tn of Jfnoirfrifyfl ami a ntlnltf There Are more thincs instructive , useful snd ciitertululur in that crusil book , "Tha American KncjfcloixHllo Dictionary.

IIIIVAN AT SOUTH OMAHA. UrgM the Voter * to Vnto nil ISnl Men Nrit Tnrmlny. Sam Oosney , congressional cominlttecman from South Omaha , presided nt n democratic meeting In Bauer's hall last night at which Congressman Bryan was the principal speaker. I ) . S. Parkhurst , candidate for the legisla ture , was the first speaker. He simply slated that lie was for anything In general that would benefit Nebraska , and particularly South Omaha , and was for Lryan for United States senator. Judeo M. II. Nicholson of Kansas spoke briefly In rcgnrtl to the effect on his state of having n populist governor. He said he had been judge of tha Kighth judicial district for years , and If any damage had been done to his people he did not know of It. He could make arrangements to get rid of all the paper Nebraska had if It was for sale. When \V. J. llrjan stood up the house gave him hearty applause. He opened his remarks by saying that ho had come to South Omaha for the purpose of organizing n "Business Men's association , " The audlenco howled , and then the speaker went ahead to state In a serious manner that nil business men should organize , but that he was opposed to a few politicians getting together and organizing n body known as a business men's association. With reference to the Australian ballot ays- trm Mr. Ilryan said that under the old law the laboring men had been practically held as slaves. Under the Australian system every Individual could vote as ho pleased. Ho urged that the men who had the legal right to vote go to tlio polls on election ( lay and quietly vote ns their honest convic tions dictated , and not be- Influenced or coerced by any suggestions made to them by men who might hold a position over them. Jmlrs [ uml I Iri'liKVI1I Scrtn. A call for n special council meeting at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon was signed by live councllnmi yesterday , but as Mayor Hemls refused to add his signature the meet ing did not materallze. The effort to ob tain A special meeting was the result of the djinocratlc dissatisfaction with the list or Judges and clerks of election as submitted by the mayor. At the mcet'ng Tuesday night the democratic members , with the exception of Ilurkley , voted against the confirmation of the appointments , but they were unable to uncover enough voles to carry their point. Yesterday Ilurkley declared that he voted with the mayor under a misapprehension , and the call for a special meeting to reconsider the action by which the appointments were confirmed wan circulated. It was signed by Councllmen IHirkley , Calm , Hascall , llechel and 11 cm ell , but when the mayor was asked to sign it 'ho Eald he had spent a great ( teal of time In making up the list and be believed that it was the best that had ever been ap pointed. It had been once confirmed , and If the members desired to reconsider their action next Tuesday night would be t.me enough to do It. Thlit knocked the recon sideration movement in the head and the election officials will serve as appointed. I'or tlio t'lty'n Klnctlon. The force In the office of the city clerk Is mnklng the final preparations for the elec tion , and the office Is half filled with the ballot boxes and supplies. These will not be distributed until the morning of the elec tion , when a lot of expressmen will bo on hand bright and early to provide each vet ing booth with the necessary articles. Each load will bo In charge of an officer , who will be detailed for the purpose of seeing that the supplies go into the hands of the elec tion officials just as they leave the city ' clerk's office. There Is n good deal of Inquiry on the part of judges and clerks ns to the manner In which they shall qualify. Many of them seem to have got It Into their heads that they must qualify at the office of the city clerk or mayor , but this Is not necessary. They can do all the qualifying that Is neces sary at the booth on election morning. The law provides that ono of the Judges shall swear in the other Judges and the clerks , and that one of the other Judges shall swear him In in turn. jntortaln d Three Hundred Voter * .

For "Work on Fort Crook. WASHINGTON. NOVJ 1. ( Special Tele gram , ) A letter has Just been received at the office of the quartermaster general , stating that bids for the construction ot the two buildings at Fort Crook , consisting of a set of bachelor ' officers' quarters for eight officers and a barrack wing for four com panies , were opened at Omaha on Tuesday , October 31. Unless there is an unusually large number of bidders and the proposals are somewhat complicated. It Is very likely that a telegram will bo sent to the quarter master general naming the lowest bidders and asking for authority to award the contract without waiting to send the papers and having the award made here. But even should such a telegram be received within the next two or three days , asking for this authority , It is not now probable - able that such permission will be given , as the quartermaster general and his assistants are anxious to havq the matter looked into bore and have tlio contract awarded from head quarters. Captain Crosby P. Miller , who Is ono of the assistants to the quartermaster general , today said to the Bee correspondent , that as soon as the preliminary arrangements have been concluded and the bids have been received here , the matter will be immediately taken into consideration and the contract for constructing the- two buildings be awarded as soon thereafter as possible. Omaha liars Jfnt Want llniminn. A letter was received yesterday by the police from the chief of police of Harrlsburg , Pa , , asking If I. F. Dramioii was wanted here. Drannon , it will bo remembered , was arrested on April 22 for obtaining money un der false pretenses , He represented himself as the chaplain of Kelly's army , which was encamped in Council nitiff * at the time. He stopped at the old Pullman hotel and so worked upon the sympathy of the pro prietress that ho obtained not only a week's board , but also a suit of clothes and some money. He also obtained money from other parties on the strength of hla representations. His scheme was finally uncovered and ho wag arrested. He was convicted and sentenced to sixty days In Jail. On the conclusion of his sentence he put up at the Union Pacific hotel , and after staying there for a week ho skipped out without paying his bill. The offense is not big enough to warrant bringing him to Omaha and ha will be left to the mercy of the Harrlsburg police. He was arrested there for swindling hotel keepers. Krci'ntloll to Iliiv , J.

Vesterday was a. great day In the history of the pretty little suburban village ot Henson - son , on the outskirts ot Omaha. It was the occasion of the great lurbecnc. The man agement of the affair was In the hands of Jim Walsh , Israel Frank nml' County Super intendent Hill , and It Is but fair to state that their efforts were In a measure successful Seven large canvas pavilions were erected upon the brown prairie for the accommoda tion of the various crowds and spuikers. Aside from a lack of political effect , the big show is Interesting from any stand point. A commcdlous platform reared Its white pine proportions In. the sciuaro formed by the tents , and everything that the skill and Ingenuity of the promoters could suggest was dona , and don& to the queen's taste. The town Itself , too , had not been slighted , and In every decorative detail was visible the tracings of IM COna's fine Italian fist , at BO much spot cash and the balance In case Majors Is elected. Flags of nil nations and all parties II oat oil defiantly In the hyper borean winds , banners hung over the street , and streamers and bunting and ornamental paraphernalia of Indescribable design Hashed and Haunted on all sides , presenting really an exhilarating aspect. WHERE THE ENTHUSIASM WAS. Indeed , it was a great day , and George Thompson , who is known as the mayor of Denstm , was tlio busiest and the happiest man In town. Ills liquid emporium all the afternoon was the rendezvous of the bulk of crowd , where they Jostled and jammed to gel out of the- cutting breezes without and as for away from the speakers' stand as pos sible , and ns near ta the spigot from which flowed the only enthusiasm noticeable within a radius of three-quarters of a mile. Here the masses congregated and discussed and redlscussed Holcotnb's probable majority , washing the hard facts down with Oeorge'r fresh lager , and laughed and joked at the waste of ox meat and mutton of the so-called Majors barbecue. To be true , the oxen and the sheep and the wcany , tiny veals were roasted to a delight ful turn , and everybody ate their nil. Be sides the animals donated by the various South Omaha packing houses , there was c stack of bakers' bread alongside of oneof the big tents , which In altitude fairly rivaled the tallest peak of the Himalayan mountains , and in quantity was sufficient to keep every man , woman and child present well supplied with the staff of life through the winter. As the people stood and gazed In awe at Casper R Yost and Divls and , ex-Councllmen Chaf- fce 03 they carved steers and tore out huge hunks from the promontory of 10 and C-cent loaves , the Bennlngton and Florence bands vied with each other In a special match for the musical championship of that section of the globe. Magic and convoluted brass never created more harnonlou3 waves of sound , and once , when all the combined pro fessors were breathing In softest cadences through these shimmering tubes , a "Te Deuni Laudanius" sort of a look neatled all over Mr. Yost's open , countenance and Ejl Divls actually burst Into tears , while Chatfee , Walsh , Frank and Hill gazed disconsolately off over the barren plain as it they wished somebody else had their Job. UAAVKB COUNTY POLITICS. right Amolip CnncJIflnlot for LeclnlitUvu Homing Attnu'tlne Attention. CHADHON , 'Neb. , Nov , 1. ( Special. ) If any one thinks Dawes county politicians are not at work they are greatly mistaken. Out side of the great fight on the head of the btate ticket , the state senatorial anil repre sentative candidates are the most discussed. II. G. Stewart , the present Incumbent , Is again before the people on the populist ticket. Ha will not have the large following ho bad before amongr the democrats and mapy popu- lUts on account of his avowed opposition to Bryan. He declares that as long as there Is any show of electing n populist senator ho will never vote for any one else. " This fact Is going to throw many votes to the genial and well known republican candidate , J. A. Scamahorn of Gordon. Scamahorn Is well known throughout this entire section , having been one of its earliest settlers , and his personal friends are numbered by the hundreds. His faculty of making friends and the straightforward way In which he states his platform , make his election as sured , although he has an adverse majority to overcome. Hon. James W. Owens of this place Is the democratic nominee for tlio office , and al though he concedes his defeat , owing , as he expresses It , to his lack of "talent of , ex pression , " He expects the nomination to bo a forerunner of something better in the political arena. He will , doubtless , receive a fair complimentary vote. Ills campaign Is being managed by Dr. J. I. Leas of this place , assisted by Senator Coffey nnd Farmer John Ma her. H , A. Cox of this city , the democratic nominee for representative , will be elected beyond a doubt. No republican being In the Held he will receive the entire vote of the republicans , and being : a laboring man , and strictly of common people , will draw heavily on the populists. He has for-years been an employe of the Elkhorn road and will receive the railroad vote of the-dlstrlct In total. His election Is assured. WYOMING IlKl'lni.lO\f8 IN FOICCK Hon. L. G.

The closing days of the campaign show a bright prospect for the election of A. L. Hager for congress by a much larger ma jority than he received two ycaw ngo.

What looked then like a chance for his election has gone glim mering.

Considerable talk was caused today by the announcement that Ifiador Straus , brother of Nathan Straus..tho original candidate ot Tammany for mayor , had sent a check to the Wheeler campaign corrlmlttce , and thnt the other brother , Oscar Straus , px-mlnlster to Turkey , h. d pent a letter to the committee endorsing Mr. Wheeler fta democratic candidate for gov ernor. Naturally this announcement did not tend to appease the Tammany chieftains , as they seem lo fear the attitude of the Straus family will lead to the casting of many Hebrew - brow votes ngalnst both Hilt and the local Tammany ticket. Senator Hill made ono ot bis flying vis its to the democratic state head quarters today. Chairman Thacher reported that Mr. Hill was cheerful , healthful and con fident. There were no other visitors of any Importance at the various headquarters today nnd news from all ot them was of slight consequence.

Th rd The proposed legislation provides for a legislature consisting of a senate of fifty member. ! am ? an assembly of 159 members. Fourth The constitution ( under article 15) ) goes Into effect on the 1st day of Janu ary , 1895. j Fifth A legislature consisting of a senate with thirty-two members nnd nn assembly or 128 members ( as at present constituted ) does not fulfill the plain requirements of the constitution. Sixth If the courts seat such a legislature they will < to so outside of the > constitution and confusion , litigation and doubt will fol low every act of such a legislature. Seventh If the courts do not seat such a legislature thcro will be no legislature for the year 1895. and no provisions will be made for the support of the public schools , the maintenance of several departments , the administration of justice and other neces sary public ivorks. Senator Hill was in the city today and spent .tome time at'- democratic headquar ters. He speaks thlr cvenlng"at Schcnec- tady. While at headquarters he took occa sion to emphatically condemn the alleged scheme to trade votes for governor and mayor at the expense of legislative candi dates.

At republican headquarters tonight II was given out that a circular bearing the heading of the Wine , Liquor and Beer Dealers association of the state of New York , and purporting1 to be signed by HIP officers of the association , Is being secretly distrib uted among the saloon keepers of this state by the democratic state committee. The circular purports to give the record of Mr Morton and Senator Saxton on the high license question. The sole accusation against Mr. Morton Is that his name Is appended , ns vice president of the excise reform , to a letter dated New York , March , 1S94 , calling upon voters throughout the state to use their Influence with senators and assemblymen to urge the passage of a high license bill. In reply to Chairman Hackett's dispatch in re gard to the use of his name , Mr. Morton telegraphed from Jthlneclllfe that the use of his name was absolutely unauthorized and that he could not have signed It as he was In Europe long before nnd after Its date. Mr. Hackett declared also that about half of the signatures attached to the circulars arc forged. iciruiiMCANM mioui.n WIN. I x-I'rualtlent Ilnrrlnon llifnlc * They Should Carry New Yoric , NEW YORK.
