TjINCOLN, May 7. fSpeclal.) If J. II.
Kdmlstcn .succeeds In nccurlng tho chair
manship of the populist national committee
at tho Sioux Fallii convention, the national
populist headquarter will probably be lo
cated In this city. Mr. Kdmltrtwi Is under
blood to bo favorablo to this city on account
of Its ie"'ral location, It being almost at tho
eat i the national populist movement.
Tho fact that Uryan lives here will also
have considerable influence In the selection
of a location.
Several southern delegatr to the popu
lint national convention taopped off In Lin
coln for fow hours today. "Cyclone"
Davis of Texas, who i being urged by Ne
braska populists for temporary chairman,
arrived early thin morning and remained
until evening. During the day the visiting
delegate were met by Mr. Kdmlstcn and
it Is announced that many of them nrurcd
him of their support for the national chair
manship. Speaking of the probable result of the
convention Davis of Texas said; "I don't
think there In any doubt that Tlryan will
be nominated. I haven't heard of any op
position and I don't think there will bo any
at the convention. The Indication arc that
the meeting will bo harmonious in every
respect."
In the event of Mr. Kdmlsten's election
to the national chairmanship thero will bo
a vacancy in tho ofllco of state chairman.
Oil Inspector (laftln and K. V. Nelson have
been mentioned for tbo place, but as both
of them hold positions In the Mate service
It might bo difficult for them to accept.
Howover, Mr. Nelnon devoted his entire
tltno to committee work during tho last
campaign, wbllo at the Mine time acting as
deputy land commissioner, and this year
Frank L. Mary of the governor's ofllco will
probably bo elected to tho secretaryship to
nuccocd him,

Howard county has two candidates for
stato ofllccfl. They aro 0. V. Soboda and
I'oter Kbbeson, tho former being a candl
dato for secretory of state and the latter
for stato treasurer. An nttacho of the trcas
urer's ofllco said today that Kbboson would
havo no difficulty In necurlng tho nomination
it It is given to a populist.
Among thoso who left Lincoln for tho
Sioux Falls convention wcro: Governor

the other for thirty-two rooms, of slow burn

bo thoroughly fireproof. It also inserted a
request for a gymnasium. On this basis tho
building will cost, In tho estimation of tho
architect, $175,000. Tho plans wero adopted

Tho special committee! mado up ot Pen
fold, Barnard and Moore, appointed to In
quire as to tho decrease In police court fines,
mado on unsparing attack upon tho mildness
of tbo police Judge. Tho committee said tho
great falling off In tho fines of tho last few
years could bo traced altogother to Judgo
Gordon's leniency. The records wore
quoted to show that the magistrate dis
charged 85 per cent of all eases brought be
foro bis bar. Thoso who. did not eucapo
without a line wore said to be frequently
released on suspended sentences and even
when tho flno was collected It was said to
bo much Ices than tho sums secured for the
same offenses under previous regimes. Tho
records show that sentences amounting to
j $1,167.60 havo been suspended In tho last
two years. Tne committee added that It
could find no authority for an exercise cf
clemency after a flno was imposed. The re
port was referred to the attorney for tho
board.
After the Mnrrled Women.
Penfold secured the passage of a resolution
Instructing tho superintendent of education
to report to the teachers' committee as to
the married teachers now carried on tho
rolls, together with all facts obtainable as
to the ability of their husbands to support
them. This movo was considered ominous
for their reappointment during the next
school year.
Tho board took official notice of tho suit
brought by ex-Member G. G. Irey to oust
his successor, Morris Levy, in a resolution
introduced by Barnard. The board pledged
Itself through its attorney to look after Mr.
Levy's Interests in tho quo warranto pro

Superintendent Pcnrse reported that the
school principals' reports showed a total of
15,649 pupils In the public schools. This is
an Increase of 429 over one year ago. Seven
rooms have an attendance of over flfty-flvo,
tho normal maximum, and thirteen less than
thirty-five.
A spirited attack upon Superintendent
Pearse from the residents of certain south
west school districts was opened and parti
ally read. Upon motion of Johnson, however,
tho complaint was placed on tile. The pe
titioners' grievance was founded on tho
closing ot outlying schools.
A request from tho C.cntral X.abor union

WOMEN PLAN MODEL BLOCK
City Improvement Committee
Woinnn'M Club to Ive n l'ruc-
of
tlcnl Demonstration.
The city improvement committee of th
Woman's club held Its clewing meotlng Mon
day afternoon. After the business of tho
year had been disposed of tho commlttco re
ported on having Interviewed tho mer
chants on the west and part of those on tho
east side of Sixteenth street between
Dodgo and Farnam regarding arrangements
for a "model block." The merchants havo
agreed to contribute their share of tho 35
per month to be paid a man to devote hU
entlro tlmo to keeping the walks and street
of tho district In a model condition, provid
ing the city will furnsh tools and dispose
of the rubbish. They hope that the contrast
will stimulate merchant on other streets to
adopt tho eamo plan.
The following women were asked to serve
during tho summer on a committee whoso
duty shall bo to seo that weeds about tbo
city are kept down: Mmes. Euclid Martin,
Johannls Rlddcll, Christie, Dr. Rosewatcr,
Damon MaoMurphy, Alex Charlton, C. S.
Stcbblns, Nattlnger, Tate, William Gentle
man, Clark, LoblnglcT, Beech Taylor, Ward
and Miss Falrbrother.
After the election of officers for the en
suing year tho committee adjourned.
At 3:30 Father Williams addressed the
political sclemco department of tho club on
"Social Remedial Agencies." Tho speaker
held that tho Christian religion la tho ono
thing that can overcome tho social evil and
said that much of tho existing evil Is duo
to tho lack of early education. He urged
parents to put asldo false modesty and by
heart-to-heart talks gain the confidence ot
their children and so educate them to pro
tect. themselves against temptations.
Father Williams holds that when parents
exact tho same standard of purity in tho
man who marries their daughter that they
do ot tho woman who marries their son
much of this evil will be eliminated.
