personalities with whom It deald. Mrs.
dishing, who feels It a duty to supervise
nnd direct others, hu a son, Dick, who
means to win famo an a poet. Mrs. Carne,

In historical statement to tho considera

man, ilurgundy, Provence, Alsace, Alemannla
and a part of Aqultalne. Ho died In 813,
through his prowess In arms, the virtual
muster of Europo nnd th protector If not
the actual head of tho Roman church. He
was coarse m humor and cared but
Ilttlo for tho morality even of his own
household. Ho had a number of wives and
his court was tho scene of unchecked li
cense. For political reasons ho would not
allow lils daughters to marry, but. made
amends to them by nevjr Interfering with
their lovo Intrigues. Clinging to tho no
madlo life affected by the Merovingians and
his own ancestors, ho had royal residences
scattered far and wide over his dominions,
all of which he occasionally visited, taking
with him his court nnd household. In many
respects his tastes nnd habits wero soml

Senator Johu M. Thurston arrived In
Omaha yesterday over the Uurllngton from
Wnahlngton. -The senator wns unaccom
panied and Immediately went to his homj;,
whero ho remained nil morning conferring
with political friends who called.
Regarding his homecoming tho senator
said that ho" had been III In Washington and,
not recovering as rapidly as desired, ho
had concluded to como west for thirty days.
Speaking In relation to his candidacy for
tho position of delegate-at-large to tho na
tional republican convention tho senator
said:
"Several months ago I announced that 1
would bo a candidate for delpgate-at-large
and I nm otlll of the eamo mind. My desire
for attending tho convention In that
capacity la that I presided over the conven
tion which nominated McKlnley the llrst '
tlmo and would llko to vote for his re- .
nomination. Further than this I havo no '
political drplrei.
"It has been stated that I havo Interested
myself in tho matter of tho selection of the
national committeeman from Nebraska. Tho
fact Is that I am not at nil Interested In
tho tight, except that 1 want the republicans
of tho Htato to havo tho best man posstblo
chosen for that position and I wnnt to see
thorn havo a fair nnd honest expression of
opinion on tho subject. 1 havo mado no j
alliances, either for myself or others, and I
will make none. I shall ask the convention
to send mo to Philadelphia as dclegate-at- i
largo. If the republicans of tho state desire
to gratify me in this matter 1 will be
selected, If not 1 will not get on tho dele
gation." One eiuextloii Hviuleil,
"Senator, It has been stated by tho man
suppesod to bo caring for your Interests In
tho state thul Douglas county will have two
delegates-ut-lnrge to tho convention or none; .
did ho speak with your nuthorlty?"
"Well, 1 will leave my candidacy to tho
convention. I havo received letters regard
ing tho 'Douglas county deal from noveral
po-sons, but havo expressed no opinion on '
tho subject, as I know nothing about It.
Any attempt 'to lead tho republican conven
tion against Its will la doomed to failure
nnd I am not ono who will attempt It."
Speaking of the natlonnl situation, tho
senator stated that ho desired to Bee the
vlco president nominated from a westotn
state, and that be believed General 'Marnier
son to bo tho Ideal cnndldate.
"With bis record In war, In tl(o senate
and In his profession," said Mr. Thurston,
"thero Is no man who will compare with
htm who ia available for the place. Ills
knowledge of tho work of tho senato and
hla experience In that body would give him
great advantago over others as a presiding
officer, but this Is a matter of speculation
entirely at present.
"What about tho democracy? Well, thn
republicans and tho conservative democrats
In congrcpfl do not believe thero Is any
chanco of that party carrying a single east
ern state. As It stands today the oarty
which carries New York will carry tho
nation, and Mr. Rryan, who will certainly
be nominated at Kansas City, stands no
chanco of carrying New York. Hut Rryan
ia cqnsldcred a stronger candidate In tho
cast this year than he was four years ago.
Ho will got more votes, but not enough to
do him any good In tho electoral college.
Tho republicans really expect to carry Ne
braska, Kansas and South Dakota for tho
presidential ticket, and It looks its It tho
legislatures of thoso states will all return
republican senators."
Sonator Thurston will remain In tho west
about a month. lie has no Itinerary out
lined, but will attend tho congressional con
vention at Kearney, April 26.
PROUD OF UNCLE SAM'S FLAG
Itemnrknlily I.nriir Number of Appli
cation for .Naturalization
1'n pern.
The laat two weeks has brought to tho
oftlco ot tho district clerk an unusually
largo number of applications for citizenship.
Residents of Omaha who owo nativity to a
foreign country nro exhibiting a decided
tendency to afflllato with Undo Sum. Tho
ruoh of applications which has been more
or less noticeable for Beveral days attracted
still further attention yesterday when four
nationalities wero represented nt one tlmo ut
the deck of tho clerk whose duty It Is to
look after naturalization business. They
responded from France, Germany, Ireland
and England and stood In lino awaiting
tholr turn.
The only explanation that can bo givon at
this tlmo for mich n rush for naturalization
Is that tho applicants have hecome deeply
interested In tho politics of Uuclo Sam's j
domain ann tnat tney propose to take n
hand In voting. In this connection 11 has
developed that thero Is to bo a largo exit
for Europo from this city within tho next
fow months, tho Paris exposition being tho
attraction. Tho travelers, however, go as
visitors In most Instances and they expect
to return to Omaha after they have looked
In upon tho big show and havo told their
old friends that they aro cltlzons of tho
United States. Tho forco In tho ofllco of
tho district clerk several mombera of which
havo had long oxperlcnco there declnro that
never beforo within their knowledgo ot j
court houso affairs has thero been such nn
Influx of thrifty foreigners In quest of cit
izenship. A fenturo of tho rush is the fact
that tho appearance of tho applicants seems
to bo voluntary, for as a general rulo they
como alone.

The case of Ray nrown, alleged robber
of a street cur motorman, which has for two
days been on trial before Judgo Raker, con
tinues to attract moro than ordinary at
tention. Tho chief Interest centers in tho
fact that an attorney who Is especially i
prominent as a defender In the criminal
courts, Is this tlmo lined up on tho sldo
of tho prosecution. Tho street railway com
pany Is making a special effort to convict
Rrown In order that an examplo may bo
made of men who have several times within
the last year or two "held up" conductors
and motorraen. Rrown'a attorneys aro
equally vigorous on behalf of their client.
The major part ot tho evidence Is now In
and tho caso will probably rench the Jury
this morning. Rrown la of youthful ap

NEW P0ST0FF1CE POSSIBLE
Plan to Establish Poatil Station in 80 uth-

LOCATION AT ONE OF DEPOTS FAVORED

Tho establishment of an additional, local
postoince, complcto In detail of operation,
at either the Hurlington or the Union Pa
cific Htatlor.H on South Tenth street, Is ono
of tho possibilities of the Immediate future.
Postmaster Joseph Crow Is authority for the
statement that such a plan 4s nov under
advisement, although no recommendation
of such a character has as yet been made
to the department at Washington.
For Bomo tlmo past the need of a post
ofllco station In the southeastern part of the
city has been apparont. Tho large num
ber of ptrona In tho wholcaale, business
and residence portions of that section havo
long Insisted that somo plan should be de
vised whereby tholr mall facilities might be
Improved. Relieving that euch nn ofllco
would bo an expeditious movo Postmaster
Crow and Assistant Postmaster Woodard
went carefully over tbo ground Wednesday.
in aearchlng for a suitable location the Idea
suggested itnclf that ono of the big passen
ger depots would bo nn admirable one owing
to tholr convenient and acccsslblo situ
ation. "This matter Is yet in an embryo state,"
said Postmaster Crow. "I believe that tho
establishment of a postofneo station,
equipped in detail, in tho southeast part of
tho city would bo an advjntngeous movo
and largoly enhanco the present efficiency
of pOHtofflco affairs In Omaha. I have nn
yet, however, mado no recommendations to
tho department relative to the matter. We
havo carefully Inspected both tho Union and
Burlington stations, believing that In ono
of thetn the most suitable location could bo
found, N'clthcr presents Juat such accom
modatlonn as might be desired. One feature
recommending tho selection of ono of tho
depots for such on ofllco Is that by having
a fully equipped atatlon the movement of
registered mall matter would be expedited.
At present much through registered matter
has to bo transferred from tho depots to ths
ofllco and thon checked out from here.
Considerable tlmo la thus consumed which
would bo eliminated had we an office at tho
station whem the mall could be continued
on lta way without delay.
"If we establish an ofllco In thn southeast
part of tho city It will bo provided with
every facility found in our main ofllco nnd
it would undoubtodly provo a great Im
provement evn In tho present efficient
service That part of tho city is particu
larly thickly populated and there arc. many
business houses In that locality which would
be greatly benefited by thc establishment
of an additional station. I believe that an
ofllco such an wo have In mind would do
moro business than any ot tho other stations
now In operation."
