1 HOWELL IS NOT WORRIED Oill lined by H:. HIt.1 Dot. Hot Disturb Ei i Eqainiraity. DIDN'T WANT CHAIRMANSHIP ANYHOW Aerl That Mr. Dunn linn Not Ilr "laisttl nml Thai KnnnlnK I Fill ins n rnnc- Thm Docn'i i:xi,t. E. E. Howell, who was selecic-3 at chair man of tee democratic county committee J the convention held i tnk ago, la not allowing the call Issued by the rival chair roar, Charley Fanning, to disturb h!s equa- combatlv e j.. i ' 7. I in thU count .Vn, m I. l lV. ,1 M-nil:. ,.rb.ou'? bave 00 obiectloa 1 to yielding my place to anyone whom It may select. I didn't seek the chairmanship. lld not want It, and only accepted It at a personal sacrifice, if there Is atlythlng In Fanning' atatement that the committee as reorganized because certain parties desired to get hold of the party machinery thU fall, I do not know It. I certainly am not one of the 'certain parties,- for 1 did not want the place allotted to me. "If I remember correctly, the county com mittee was reorganized because the chair man of the state coramltee had asked that county committees all over the state be re organized at once. That was the statement made by Chairman Dunn. He mid that he had a letter from the utate committee ask ing that such action be taken, and you will remember that Chairman I'. L. Hall of the tato committee also stated In the conven tion that h- hari r. , . ... L ... i ..... u ul. eul.n a lcucr i ine suggestion of the national committee. It bad no reference especially to Douglas county, but applied to all counties In the state, and many of the other counties have reorganized their committees no that there will bo no necessity of changing after the work of the approaching national campaign la partially done. o VncHiiey KiInIIiir, "There Is nothing, as far as I can see, in Mr. Fannlng's assumption of the chairman ship on the claim that Chairman Dunn re signed and that he succeeded him by reason of his position as chairman of the executive committee. Mr. Dunn did not resign at all. He simply asked that the committee be reorganized and declared that he was not a candidate for re-election. No resig nation was submitted by him or accepted by tho convention, consequently there was no vacancy to which Fanning could possibly lucceed. "It does not seem to me possible that a majority of the old committee can be In ympathy wltu Fannlng's movement. The call for that convention was authorized by the signatures of a majority of the old com mittee, thirty-two out of sixty-one com- mltteemen. It docs not becm to me Dorfilbl that the men ho feigned the authority for that call can lend their countenance to any thing in the nature of Fanning' call. "The, new committee will take no action 1n the matter until after the state and na tional convention." GOING TO FACE HIS CRIME Karl O. Allrn On III Way 1o Sioux City t'lidrr Arret for Iletra Ine n Girl. Earl 0. Allen, a young man formerly employed as a window trimmer In one cf Omaha's big stores and well known to many people. In the city, was brought here Frliay by Sheriff Jackson of Sioux City. Ho is wanted thero on a charge of seduction. About two months ago a gray haired mother brought her only daughter, a beau tiful and accomplished girl, to Omaha to wed Allen, according to previous arrange ment. They were guests at the Midland liotel, where the ceremony was to be per formed. The night of the wedding came and the parlor was beautifully arranged and decorated. The charming bride was ar rayed, the clergyman was waiting and all was in readiness, nut the groom came not, for bo had broken his solemn promise and fled from the city. The heartbroken mother and daughter returned home to wait. They did not alt in vain, for soon Allen was heard of In Cripple Creek, Colo. A wnirant for his arrent was placed in the hands of Sheriff Jackson, who had no I trouble In locating the much wanted young man. He agreed to return to Iowa without requisition papers, but balked when be reached Omaha, declaring that be would rather die In his tracks than to cross the rlrer and face a Judge and Jury. The sheriff took his prisoner to the city Jail, whero ( he wait Informed that he would be confined therein until requisition papers could bn secured. Then be weakened and changed hU mind. Half an hour later he was locked up In the Council Bluffs Jail, whero he will be formally arrested by Sheriff Jackson Saturday and afterwards taken to Sioux City.

By the action of the county commis sioners in tho matter of assessment of property In the Fourth ward the valuation of tbe city has been increased 3,610. mak ing tbe total valuation U, 871,660. With this valuation It 'will bo 'necessary for "the city council to make a levy of at least f.5 mills. The returns show valuations by wards as follows: First ward, J6SS,S2j; Second ward, M31, 736; Third ward, J264.123; Fourth ward, IS?,67T; total, fl.874.6Gl. Through the indifference or negligence of Assessor Carroll of the Fourth ward no returns were mado for the corporations this year and it became necessary for tbe county commissioners to take tbe matter In hand. An increase over tbe 1SH9 assess ment wa made In nearly every case. Here are the figures: Cudahy Packing company. t::,r.5.r., increase, $3,100; Hammond Packing company, I10.S36, increase. fl.&06; Omaha Packing company. $9,300, Increase, $1,5S0; Villon Stock Yards National bank, t.'fi.- 427, lnrrcasc. $ 1,427; Union Stock Yards, company, $11 .319. increase, $2,999. In 1899 the Omaha Cooperage company was assessed at $5,000 and this year the commissioners reduced the amount to $1,443. A great deal of property belonging to the South Omaha Land company was reduced, the total re duction for tbo ward being $4,71fi. In spite of tbe reductions tho lncreaso over a year ago is $3,610. With tbe estimated expense of $108,000 for tbe flbcal year it will most likely be necessary to raise $95,000 by taxation and this means a levy of not less than 55 mills. The rity council will meet on July 2 for the purpose of making tho levy. President Adklns' Coir Today. The bearing of quo warranto proceedings to oust President Adklns of the city council will come up before Judge Dickinson today. Mr. Adklns will be represented by Attor neys W. C. Lambert and J. H. VanDusen. tbe position taken by these lawyers is that Happy Women who have been relieved of painful menstruation by Lydim E. Plnkham's Voge table Compound, are con stantly writing grateful letters to Mrs, Pinkham, Lydla E. PuikhanVs Vegetable Compound oUfad thotttm It alwnVH i uivmi f I MiWtiytf relieves painful periods and no woman who si- fmrs should be without this knowledge. Nearly all the Ills ot women result from some derangement of the female organism, Mrs Plnkham's great modi cine makes women healthy; of this there Is overwhelming proof. Don't experiment. If you suffer get this modi ofne and get Mrs, Pink ham's free advice. Her address Is Lynn, Mass, quo warranto proceedings will not lie for the reason that the city council may elect or remove Its president at pleasure. Messrs Lambert and VanDusen are confident of winning the case. Mr. Adklns has been teeognlzed time and again by the council as president of the body Hnd as the action to oust him was started for the purpose of embarrassing the present administration It Is thought that the scheme will fall flat on account of the position taken by the de fendant and his attorneys.

Not since The Bee's annual vacation con test began, three weeks ago, has the Interest aroused been so Intense as at the present moment, when the first decisive tcet of the relative voting strength of candidates is to be made In the special contest for tbe John Rudd diamond ring, to be given to the can didate having the largest number of votes This special contest will close this evening at S o'clock for votes depesited in The Bee office ballot box and at 9 o'clock for votes received by mall latter to be taken from postoffice at that hour by a Bee messenger Voting yesterday was somewhat heavier than the previous day and a few changes In rank resulted, but in tbe main tho halting of many of the contestants was quite noticeable. Omaha's (-elect six have retained their full degree of excluslvenecs, though a slight Jar disturbed Its equilibrium sufficiently to raise Misses Miller and Stlllwell to second and third In rank. In South Nebraska Miss Mable C. Russell of David City very nearly captured the first place, being less than two-score of votes behind. There is much conjecture whether tbe dia mond ring to be given will go to Omaha or Grand Island, where the highest scores now are, and it is not Impossible a dark horso may spring up elsewhere where least expected and capture tbe trophy.
