the comlnR campaign. Twenty-six of the
thirty districts vvcio represented , and the
members \\aro all feeling peed o\or the
prospects Krom all pails of the atnte they
brought the nuns that the good tlmei and

After attending to some detail business
tin ! committee lij unanimous vote agreed to
tender the poslttoi of chairman of the state
commlttcu to David II. Mercer of Umnha.
Mr Mercer was reached by telephone and
announced that he would loino to Lincoln
on thu first train. The committed then took
a recess until 4 o'cloclc. On the arrival of
Mr Meirci the committee convened and the
now chairman uns called for Ho utmu for
ward and vvati erected with applause. He
i > alil that hu Miumul to have boon drafted.
It would be very Inconvenient for him at
this tlmu to take up thu work , but he con
sidered It the duty of Rood republicans to
respond \\hcn duty called , and ho would ac
cept the position Ho believed the repub
lican party would win this fall. The campaign
was a peculiar ono , on account of the fact
that Nebraska had assumed an Important
position In the pulttlcH of thu nation. Ho
believed however , that the state has reached
the turning point In prosperity and national
Importance , and that thousands of men In
Nebraska who have been misled In the past
would walk up to the polls this fall and \oto
the republican ticket. They would be too
bury takliiK care of their crops and Increased
buulness to make much fuss during the
campaign but they would remember that the
good times always happen to come during i
republican times and iic-vci when the opposl- I
tlon Is In power. In the opinion of the
speaker the chairman of the committee was
not the Important feature of the camnalgn 1
The real vvnrK laj with the committee and
thu working lepubllcans He himself did
not claim to bo a great organl/er , but when i
lie was making a uanvabs for himself lie
never missed nnjtliliiK He thought the
I
committee should now go In to win.
Uil It Sl/ei of Lincoln was unanlniiuslj

Is needed and Chief Smith his recommended
the renting of the whole building In ordtr
that the Bleeping rooms may ba tran fcrred

the flro and water committee looked the
ground over and recommended that a three-
year lease bo entered Into with the owner at
a monthly rental of $10 , miking the rent
for three > irs $1,410 Mayor Ennor and
some ot the members of the council are op
posed to this , as they claim ttut the three
years * rental would amount fo nio'o than
twice as much as the building Is wnrt'i The
structure occupied by the firemen Is an old
frame shack and la not particularly suited
to flro department uses , with tbo exception ot
UH location.
Should the lease be agreed uoon Din Hnn-
non , the owner , Intends fitting the building
up as desired and matclng an oxtenahn In

offered to erect a brick flro hill with ce
ment floor and all needed appliances In con
sideration of a thrco-joir lease at the rate
of $45 a month As the mayor will nnt agree

In this district will havu any claim for dam
ages The cottages on II street , at thp

most likely have to bo raised. It Is thought
that the total amount of damages will not
exceed $500.
With the contract awarded In two weeks
the contractor could easily get to work
bv October 1 , and possibly before , so that
the grading will most likely bo completed

owners who have not yet had walks of brick
or stone laid will bo compelled to do the
work. In ca'es where the property owner
neglects to attend to the matter thu con
tractor will lay the walk and charge the cost
up against the property. Where there are
aruawajs of boards , which are not strong
enough to support a permanent walk , thoj
iv 111 be declared a nuisance and permanent
walks will be erected over them. Several
property owners within the district estab
lished by ordinance have requested that ex
ceptions be made in their cases , for various
reasons , but It has been decided to accept
no excuses. J
