It was not sufficient to turn back the tide that floated the successful candidates. I > * sell was only five votes behind Fawcett on the formal ballot , but ho was compelled to be content with the melancholy satisfaction of having made his opponents think for a minute that he had given them the slip. Long before the convention met the drift of sentiment among the dele gate * Indicated that the work of the con tention would be confined to the formal rati fication of a slate that nine workers out of ten believed to bo Invincible. That Judges Dickinson , Kevsor , Fawcett. Slabaugh and Uakor would be rcnomlnatcd wen n positive conclusion and it seemed almost as certain that Powell would be sidetracked md tbat Baxter and Estelle would be named to com plete the ticket. Uulck Work on the Ontnlilc. Seldom has so much quiet work bPen done In the same length of tlms In Omaha poll- tics as transpired between the time when the results of the primaries were known and they hour set for tbe 1'rst convention to assemble. From 9 o'clock Friday night until long after midnight the streets downtown were Uttered with groups of de.egates and workers and In a dozen retired offices quiet conferences were In progress , In which 1 > U * were laid In the Interest of one or another candidate. At first It looked as though the result of the primaries had left but one place on the ticket and the friends of Es telle and Baxter worked like beavers for a title to the support of a majority of the delegates. The other candidates practically conceded themselves out of it and for a time It looked as though the finish between the two favorattes would be a race worth seeing. Durlnc the evening , however , the weak ness of Powell outside of his own delega tion became apparent. Scores of delegates , bavlng established the title of their home candidate , wanted to sep both Baxter and Estelle an the ticket and these selected Powell as the man whom they could most easily down. The movement gathered strength rapidly and after the caucusing of yesterday morning e\en Powell's most staunch supporters admitted that It seemed likely to succeed. They still sugge3ted that there might be a change of sentiment that would let their man In , but it was evident that they considered the case next to hope less. less.Half Half a dozen ward caucuses were held down town yesterday morning and the result of each was to strengthen the belief that the ticket would be nominated as stated above with votes to spare. There was no animus against Powell , but his retirement seemed to commend Itself to the delegates as the best solution of the problem of putting eight pegs Into so ; en holes. The expressed sentiment of the country delegates was also largely favorable to this plan and by the middle of the forenoon scarcely an active politician could be found who did not regard It as a practical "lead Pipe. " County Contention. The county convention to select delegates to the Judicial convention was scheduled to begin at 1 o'clock , but it was some time later when the delegates were ready for business. Meanwhile most of the candi dates were conspicuous on tbe floor , where they Improved the time In putting the finish ing touches to their Judicial booms. A feature of the ante-convention proceedings was a rumor that Powell's friends were trying to sidetrack Keysor or Fawcett for Powell , but the Idea did not seem to be re ceived with favor. At 1.45 Chairman B. G. Burbank of tbe county central committee called the delega- sates to order and Introduced A. H. Mur- dock of Suuth Omaha as temporary chair man. Mr. Murdock excused himself from a speech , in view of the torrldity of the atmosphere. W. A. Messlck was made secre tary. tary.There There being no contests , the temporary organization was made permanent on mo tion of Fred J. SacKett , and the credentials of the delegates were approved as they were handed to the secretary. Thcso preliminaries occupied but a few minutes , tout a motion to fix the representa tion of the wards and precincts In the Doug las county delegation In the Judicial conten tion sprung a sensation. B. G. Burbank - bank moved that each ward In Omaha be glten ten delegated , each ward In South Omaha four and each country precinct two. Herman Roeslg moved as an amendment tbat each Omaha ward be glten t > eten dele gates , South Omaha beventeen and cacli country precinct four. The county and South Omaha , with the Fifth and Seventh wards , toted almost solidly for the amend ment. The only exceptions were Jefferson and West Omaha. Then the Second ward changed to "aye" and Clontarf changed to "nay" The amendment carried by 01 to 75 and the delegates paused to ask each other what effect this augmentation of the county vote would have on the prearranged program.

BlnKhamton , N. Y. , mention Ui Omaha Sunday B o various delegations was nubml.ted anj ap proved an ! the county convention adjaurnel Thrim n Into Cnnfn-iloii. The transfer ot twenty-seven votes from the city to the country that was accom plished by the Roeslg amendment threw everything Into confusion. Fences that had previously been considered bomb proof were frantically overhauled and the effort to adJust - Just matters to the changed conditions de- la } ed the Judicial convention tor nearly an hour. "Tho Klale IT busted. " yelled a dozen delegates. But they spoke too soon. That useful article ot furniture was merely nicked In a couple of places and turned out to be still serviceable. But BO neatly had the scheme been worked that It was generally believed that It predicated a concerted move- j ment on the part of the county and the I weaker candidates to break Into the band i waion. No one was certain where the blow I would strike and the friends of the candi dates -who believed themselves secure be came rampant with suddenly acquired alarm H developed , ' however , that the movement citil not reach as far as was feared and , al though Powell - as liberally supported by the county , ho lacked votes enough to win out. Jiiiltclnt Contention Meet * . After some degree of quiet had been re stored the district convention was called 1 to order by Wesley J. Cook of Blair , chair man of the Judicial committee. After hear ing the call A. n. Kelly of South Omaha moved that the convention adjourn for half 1 an hour. This was declared out of order | and a temporary organization was effected ] by electing L. II. Kent ot the Sixth ward ' as chairman and W. A. Saussay ot Clontarf | precinct , secretary. Some time was occupied by handing In the He's of delegates and in the meantime J. C. Wharton offered a resolution which provided that the seven candidates who re ceived the highest number of votes and a majority of the votes cast be declared the nominees of the convention. Here South Omaha interposed with another motion to adjourn , but was again declared out of order and Wharton's resolution was then adopted. Then the motion for a recess was renewed and lost by an overwhelming vote. John Bexter of the Sixth ward was elected assistant secretary and Irrepressible South Omaha again Jumped In with Its motion for a recess with the same result f.s "before. " The vote was 43 to 13G. On motion wf John C. Wharton nominating speeches were dis pensed ivith and the call of the wards was ordered. I bviitlmeut of the Convention. The roll call speedily settled all contro versy In regard to the sentiment of tlio con vention. Burt county was called first and It cast Its twenty totes for Uaxter , Faw- cett , Baker , Powell , Dickinson and Keyeor , with ten each for Slabaugh and Estelle. Baker secured the solid vote of the con vention except South Omaha , and Dickinson received the vote of every delegate except ono In the Seventh ward and four from Clon tarf. Baxter got the city solid except a few scattering votes , the entire vote of South Omaha and the country precincts , and missed a few In Sarpy and Washington. Estelle re ceived the entire vote of thi > city and South Omaha , except five totes In the Seventh ward , and ran well In the country. The Second end and Fifth -wards and part of the Third dropped Keysor , but he received the solid tote of the three counties and most of that of the country precincts. Fawcett lost the Second ward , parts of the Fifth and Ninth and a number of the precincts , but the three counties voted for him to a man and car ried him behind the breastworks. Powell se cured only twenty-seven votes In Omaha and seven in South Omaha and , while he p'oted stronger In the country , ho was left by a narrow margin. Slabaugh only lacked one vote of having the solid vote of the city and South Omaha , and missed comparative1 , , ' few In the country. Richardson's tote con sisted of the Second , Third and Fifth wards , South Omaha and a few scattering votes In the other wards and country precincts The result of the ballot was. Dickinson , 172 ; Baxter , 164 i : Slabaugh , 161 ; Baker , 160 ; Estelle , 143 A ; Keysor , 139 , Fawcett , 126 ; Powell. 121 , and Richardson , 52.

The remaining busln.-fls of the convention was transacted In five mlnut > > On motion of John C. Wharton the Judicial comn-Ittee was slated to consist of two members from Omaha and one each from South Omaha , the country precincts and Washington , Sarpy and Burt counties.

Some fishermen on tbe Missouri river dls covered the decomposed remains of a man { j on a sandbar about a mile below Gibson Saturday afternoon about 1 o'clock. They notified Coroner Swanson , who took charge of tbe remains and Interred them In the cemetery Immediately , as they would not permit preservation until they had been identified. The body of the man was partially covered with sand when the ( Uhermen saw It. It was tbat apparently of a man who weighed about 175 pounds. The remains were cov ered "by " a pair of blue-black trousers and a shirt. The deceased had broun hair or hair of very dark red. The. feet were encased In lace shoes. The remains ore believed to be those of William Priborsky , 1106 South Twelfth street , who disappeared from his home on the afternoon of Sunday , July 9. His coat was found on the river bank near Gibson the following day by a brother , who was searching for the wanderer. The remains of the man found on the sandbar Saturday afternoon were so decomposed that it was Impossible to Identify them , so tbe coroner kept a sample of tbo clothing. An Inquest will be held Monday to determine If possible the Identity. Coroner Swanion said he did not think the floater could be the body ot the man wlio leaped from the bridge recently , al though It was possible.

Thcso who sub mitted bids were particularly bitter at it hat they termed the dilatory tactics of the board , while the citizens Generally con strued the board's doings as boy's play. For some time past Superintendent Wolfe and the board 'have ' been talklnc about the lack of school room and the necessity for more buildings before the fall term com menced. When the report of the enumera tors was presented It showed a much larger number of children of school ago than was expected , thereby Impressing upon the mem bers of the board the necessity of Imme diately taking steps to secure at least one more ward tchool. An appropriation was made for the election of a building to re lieve the pressure at the Hawthorne , Brown Park and Central schools , and It was under stood at the time that this proposed build ing was to be rushed so as to have it ready as soon after tbe opening of the schools as possible. John F. Roberts , the president of the board , comes in for a great deal of censure because he had It in his power a number of times to decide the question of a site , but refused to take advantage ot the opportunity. In explanation of his vote President Roberts stated that ho did not want to be placed in the position of de ciding upon a site as be might bo criticised for so doing. He also stated that It any proposition had received flte votes ho would have gladly added his tote to the majority. In talking about this policy of Roberts some of the members of the board said jesterday that If any proposition had received flte votes there would have been no need of Roberts' vote , as the proposition would have carried without It. From the drift ot the wind It Is Inferred that certain of the members were \ery anxious to purchase the slto at Eighteenth and Q streets , but were afraid to stick to gether on account of certain criticisms of the Daily Sun in connection with this site. T T. O'Connor submitted a bid for the lots at Eighteenth and Q streets , placing his price at J1.300 These lota arc the prop erty of the Union StocK Yards company and arc now listed with set oral real estate agents at $1,050. O'Connor secured an op- I tion for a few days and hoped to turn an honest penny by selling the property to the school district at an adtanced price It is understood that after the regular meeting adjourned several of the members got together and virtually agreed to vote for the Eighteenth and Q street property at the next meeting. If the promises made are car ried out the sale will be consumated without any trouble and also without any particular reference to any bids which may be filed In answer to the advertisement now running. As has been stated before the site at Eigh teenth and Q streets Is owned by the stcck company and was placed on the market same time ago along with , quite a list of property , owned by the company in different parts of I the city When asked about the matter yes- I terday General Manager Kenyon said that he know nothing about the sale of tbe lots for a , school site , as the property of the company which is for safe was in tbe hands of a number of real estate agents. Upon looking the matter up Mr. Kenjon stated tbat if tbe Board of Education wanted the lots In ques tion and would step up to the captain's desk at the stock yards office and lay down $1,050 , a deed to the property would be turned over. Ho cannot see the necessity for the board paying $1,300 for tbe lots when tbe property can be bought for much less. Even should these lots be purchased at the price desired by the owners an expense of probably $700 would be entailed In grading. The alley In the rear of these lots is not graded and the board woufd have to take enough dirt out of the alley eo that coal and other teams could get to the rear of the building , should ono be erected. Several business men stated yesterday that if the board concluded to buy these lots that an Injunction would be secured , as tbe site is in no way considered desirable. What the people of the Second ward seem to want la a school house a llttlu farther west of tbe Eighteenth street site. Twentieth street teems to be the favorite locality , as the street Is graded and a sewer can be reached with very little digging. The idea of locating a ward school BO far east seems to have originated with some members who expect to have a finger in the location of a High s heel building In case the people ever vote bonds for uch a pro ject. ject.When When defending the selection of a far eastern site Kreltag elated tbat next ) ear the board might be called upon to locate a High school 'building and that If such was tbe case the site would mod likely be chosen between L and O streets and Twen tieth and Twenty-second street * . JuH where Freitag and some other members got their Idea of where the proposed High school Is to be located cannot be told at this time , but It U a foregone conclusion tbat It will never go Into tbe district proposed by Freltag. Many of those who submitted bids on the first proposition of the board itated yes terday that they would not renew tbo bids under tbe now advertisement , as they did not like tbe methods employed by ( he board. One property owner who submitted two bids tald that be was through , as It looked now If You're ' an Arlist- You don't nreil to bo told that nil pianos arc not alike and that nil -.ilnno * can't even lx punrnntred by the best of dealers there are really three tirst-class i > hino3 all K's The Knabe , i j-j -v , The Klmball. - - " * " - " The KmnNlt & Knell.
