It took twenty-eight ballots yesterday morning to break tho deadlock In the re nnhllenn convention of the Fifteenth Judi cial district, when Drvlllo D. Wheeler of this city secured tho nomination to nil tho vacancy on tho bench of tho district caused by tho resignation of Judge Walter I. Smith. Tho ninety-seventh ballot gave Wheeler. Pottawattamlo county's candl date, sixty-two votes, Just sutnclcnt to nominate, while W. S. Lewis, tho candi date from Mills county, received (0 and J. n. Ilocknfcllow, 11. Shelby county finally broko tho deadlock by throwing six of Its votes to Whoolcr at tho opportune mo ment, thus securing him tho nom Inntlon. Tho convention Instructed the chairman nnd secretary to draft a mem orial to send to Governor Shaw asking him to appoint the nomlnco of tho convention to (lit tho vacancy caused by Judge Smith's resignation, which will take effect Soptcm bcr 1, thus causing a prospective vacancy between that tlmo nnd tho election In No vember, Tho nomination of Its candidate was achieved by Pottawattamlo county only after a hard light and nt no time until within tho last few ballots did It look as If tho convention was willing to accept Mr. Wheeler as Its nominee. At times during the course of tho balloting yester day morning It looked as If Scott Lewis of Mills county was going to get tho plum and then again It changed and everything ap peared favorablo for tho nomination of J II. Itocknfollow of Cass county. tlnrk Horse Avnllctl Utile. A determined effort on the part of the Fremont and Harrison county delegations to break tho deadlock In tho early stage of yesterday morning's proceedings by vot Ing for Jocob Sims of this city failed of effect, as Pottawattamlo county, with Its twenty-seven votes, steadily refuted to swerve from Its candidate. After the adjournment Wednesday even Ing there was considerable talk of spring ing the namo of Hon. John Y. Stone ot Olcnssood as n compromise candidate, but Mr. Stone, when ho learned of this, do- cllncd to be considered a candldato in any senso of tho word or to allow his name to go beforo tho convention. When tho convention reassembled yes terday morning, shortly nftcr 9 o'clock, there wns a suppressed air of oxcltcment evident and delegates and spectators were apparently anxiously looking for some thing to drop at any moment. What llt- tlo caucusing had been dono nftcr tho ad Journmcnt the previous evening had failed to change tho situation and when Heading Clerk Miller started 'the ball rolling by calling tho roll of counties for the sixty ninth ballot the four candidates were rela tively In the same position as when the convention opened Wednesday morning. This ballot gavo Wheeler 41, Lewis, 36; Hockafollow, 23; Deason, 19. Tho next two ballots brought no change, but on tho seventy-second Pago county switched ,,. , ,, ,., , . ,..i n,. oIovcn of 1(8 votcs from Lowla to Reason nnd for a short whllo tho stock of the Montgomery candldato took an upward tendency. In tho seventy-fourth ballot throo votcs wero cast for Pusey, but this failed to Improve tho situation in tho least. In tho sevonty-slxth ballot con siderable switching was done from lleason to Rocknfcllow and on tho seventy-eighth ballot the candldato from Cass county had three tho best of It over Wheeler. The eightieth ballot witnessed another change and a number of Bockafellosv's votes went back to Lewis. Thero was but little change In tho voting from that until tho eighty-fourth ballot, when Lewis and Wheeler wero neck and neck, with forty ono votcs each. Ili'imou Out of tilt- it nee. At tho olghty-flfth ballot Deason com menced to lose ground rapidly nnd on tho clghty-soventh ballot dropped out of tho voUnB for g00(L u wag tnls bajlol that tho name of Sims wns Rprung by Audubon county, which gavo him six votes, whllo Harrison county threw ten of its nftccn to him. Tho eighty-eighth ballot still gavo Sims sixteen, but It was evident that his namo was not u sufficient talis man to split tho Pottawattamie delega tion nnd on tho next ballot ho was dropped. The ninetieth ballot brought Wheeler weif to the foro with tlfty-ono votos, as against Uockafellow's forty-nine nnd Lowis' twen ty-two, At this point In the balloting a bull pup belonging to Gcorgo S. Wright of tho Potta- wAttamle delegation and a toy terrier, tho property of Justlco Ovldo Vlen, ho was seated In tho lobby, got tangled up In a nght and tho proceedings of tho conven- tlon ,naJ ,0 ,bi' RloPp0'1 "P'" bull pup una irinannori irnm inn inii nn 'I'ma vnnir. was loosened from tho terrier. Tho racket raised by tho canines led the chairman to make the romark that they had gotten Into tho wrong room, that the democratic con vention was on tho other sldo of tho ball. Tho dog light ended, balloting wns re sumed and with tho Montgomery county candldato out of tho rnco and his county wltn twolvo votes 10 lhr w"o It liked. it was evident that tho end was fast ap proacning. ma uineiy-nrst ballot gavo Wheeler, 51; Itockafcllow, 50; Lewis, 21 Colonel Saunders, chairman of the Potta' 700 wattamle delegation, made frantlo appeals to Shelby county's delegates to help vwiecier ana no nccamo so excited that ho could not koon his scat, but n.irml tim '" floor restlessly. Tho ninoty-second and ninety-third ballots brought no change and excitement was now running high. On the ninety-fourth ballot flvo votes were switched from Rockafellow to Lewis and on tho ninety-fifth ballot the Letfls men had their hopes revived, ns he received 49 votes as against Wheeler's 51 nnd Itock nfellow's 22. Tho next ballot Fremont plunged on Lewis nnd brought him up to the ntty-two mark, whllo Wheeler got enough of Uockafellow's votcs to make him nfty-slx, hlirlliy County KniU It, Hardly had the roll call started for tho nlnety-soventh and, as it proved, tho last ballot when Colonel Saunders rushed across tho hall to tho Shelby county dele gatlon, saying: "Give Is tho six votes we need and end this flght." Chairman Lock wood ot the Shelby county delegation inado no answer, but only smiles, whllo tho gal lant colonel from Pottawattamie county breathlessly awaited tho announcement of tho Shelby vote. It enme; "Wheeler, 6 Lewis, 4," and the deed was done. Potta wattamlo's candldato had won the dny, but without a singlo vote to spare, and th .a.. l"K3 by 1 amies gavo vent to their feel elltng uutll their throats almos cracked. Thcro was no attempt to make the nomination unanimous. As soon as the Pottawattamlo delega tion had tired itself out yelling the chair man appointed D. O. Stuart of Shelby county, A. Mills ot Montgomery county and Colonel Saunders of Pottawattamlo county a committee to escort the nominee to the convention hall. While tho com- mltteo was absent on Its mission Post master Treynor of tho Pottawattamie dele gation moved that tho convention adopt a resolution Instructing the chairman and secretary to draft a memorial, asking Gov ernor Shaw to appoint tho nominee of tho convention to till tho vacancy for the In terim botween Judge Smith's resignation and the election next November. Tho resolution was adopted and in view of the fact that Judgo Smith does not leave the bench until Saturday the secretary of tho convention was Instructed not to certify Mr. Wheeler's nomination to the secre tary of stato untlt after September 1.

Smith, tho republican candidate The convention was called for 11 o'clock yesterday morning, but it was 1:30 In the nftcrnoon before enough delegates were pres ent to enable Stcvo 1). Morrtaey, chairman of the congressional committee, to call the gathering to order and announce Hon. Lew Gcnung of Hastings as temporary chairman nnd W. W. Merrltt, Jr., of Montgomery county ns temporary secretary. When Mr. Genung started to make one of his characteristic) talks there wero but twenty-seven delegates present, although each ot the nlno counties comprising the district were represented. Mr. Gcnung opened by stntlng that It was a good deal ot fun for him to talk and that it was tho first time this year ho had attempted to make a political speech, but he expected to make qulto a number beforo tho ond of the cam paign. He spoko for about thirty minutes, evidently sparring for wind in the hopes that some more delegates would show up. Ho was not disappointed, ns by the time ho had gotten through hurling Invectives nt tho republican party and the administration of President McKlnley some half dozen out of town delegates arrived. At tho closo of Mr. Genung's flow of ora tory tho tompornry organization was made permanent on motion of Jnmes McGovcrn of Harrison county. Dr. S. I). Toboy of Oak land, James McGovern of Missouri Valley and L. M. Doctor of Red Oak were appointed a commlttco on credentials and It took them less than flvo minutes to report that all counties wero represented and that there wore no contests. Then the convention started In to noml nato Mr. Wndsworth. On motion of Jnmes McGovern, who constituted himself tho lead ing spirit of tho gathering, tho counties were called by roll. Adair started the ball roll- ng by casting Its ten votes for Mr. Wnds worth, and the other eight counties followed In line. Then, on motion of McGovern, the nomination wns made by acclamation. McGovern nnd Still Dye wero named by tho chair to escort the nominee to tho hall During their absence J. J. Shea, who wns seated with Mayor Jennings and Chief of Police Albro In tho lobby, was called upon for n hpeech, but ho discreetly declined. Mr. Wadsworth on entering tho convention was warmly greoted, several of tho dele gates leaving their seats to grasp him by tho hand. After thanking tho convention for tho "unexpected" honor conferred upon him, he said he did not intend to mako a speech as ho had onco made a vow that ho would nover deliver a political address fol lowing Mr. Lew Gcnung, as tho latter In variably took the wind out of his sails and his talk In consequence fell flat. Despite his assertion that he had no Intention of making a speech, Mr. Wadsworth managed to talk for about flftecn or twenty minutes, during which tlmo ho told the convention whnt he would and what he would not voto for It he was fortunato enough to be landed In tho United States congress. He hinted that nn avalancho might possibly land him in con- gres nnd William Jennings Bryan In the White House.

Tho democrats of tho Fifteenth Judi cial district attempted to hold a conven Hon yesterday afternoon, following tho congressional convention, but unnu of the men named wero willing to accept either the nomination to succeed Judgo Macy ot to llll tho vacancy caused by tho resigna tion of Judgo Smith.

Thero was some misunderstanding about tho call for tho convention, Chairman W II. Ware ot the Judicial committee having first Issued tho call for Friday and later changed It to Thursday. Word was re ceived from tho Fremont county dclcgn Hon that it could not bo hero until Frl day and it asked thnt the convention be postponed until then. Tin attendance was oven smaller at the congressional convention nnd Chairman Ware, on calling tho gathering to order. suggested tnat a vote lie tnKen on post ponlng tho meeting until this morning. Paul Aylcsworth made a motion to the effect that tho convention proceed to or ganlzo and not wait for Fremont county. Tho motion carried and Fremont Uenja- mln suggested that tho temporary chair man, W. H. Ware, bo tho permanent chair man of tho convention and tho suggestion promptly met with favor. G. M. Harris of Missouri Valley had been Minted for permanent chairman, but ho was unable to bo present, owing to sickness. Mr. Wnre, on assuming tho gavel, stated ho did not Intend to mako n speech, but tho opportunity evidently was too good a ono to bo lost and, starting out to mako a few remarks, ho gradually drifted into cjulto a lengthy address, In which ho urged the convention to "nominate a man who stood upon his own feet" nnd not on account of his political affiliations At tho closo of Chairman Ware's re marks Frank Taniisea of Missouri Vnlley was selected as secretary.

Jack O'Nell of Council Muffs presented tho namo of John P. Organ for tho nomlna Hon for tho long term. Mr. Organ from the lobby said ho was not a candidate and .under no circumstances could ho accept the nomination. Then Kmll Schurz sug gefctcd tha name of Frank Tamisca, seerc tury of tho convention, but Mr. Tamlsoa was not prepared to offer himself up as n sacrifice at the present tlmo and ho dc cllned the honor. Then nn attempt was roado to mako a nomination M tho short term to All the vacancy cauied by Judge Smith's resigns tlon nnd Attorney J. J. Stewart of th Hoard of Education suggested the name o Judgo E. 12. Aylesworth. Tho Judgo is In Chicago attending tho Grand army en campmcnt, but his son, Paul Aylesworth, declined the nomination for him. James McGovern placed In nominal an tho chairman of tho convention, W. H. Ware, but Mr. Waro had had honors enough heaped upon him by the party nnd ho like wise declined to accept any more. Kmll Schurz thought the best way to settle tho difficulty would be to leave It to the Judi cial commlttco to select two cnndldntes. This suggestion was promptly frowned down upon by tho chairman, who said that to take such an action would practically be for tho convention to adjourn without making nny nominations. Then Fremont Dcnjamln suggested that tho convention adjourn until tho next morning nnd that In tho moantlmo possi bly two candidates willing to accept tho nominations might bo found. Renjamln's motion was seconded by J. J. Stewart nnd carried and tho convention stood ad journed until 10 o'clock this morning.

South Omaha News . jj A notlro was yesterday served upon Sec retary Urennan of tho Hoard of Education, requiring him to appear beforo Judge Kcy sor today nnd give reasons why n peremp tory writ of mandamus should not at onco issue ngnlnst him, ordering him to sign the warrant for !.500 to Thomas Hoctor for the purchase price ot the lots on which to erect n high school. Mr. Hrennan stated yesterday for tho first time hU specific reasons tor refusing to sign the warrant. In the first place, ho clalmi that the Garlow Injunction proceed ings, issued some tlmo ago, enjoined him from signing thn warrant nnd that that Injunction is still in force, ns ho under stood It. When tho hearing wns had upon it part of ttie injunction wns dissolved, but Urennan claims Hint tho main restraining order ngalnst him still stands and ho could not have signed tho warrant for Hoctor even if he wanted to. Tho decision of the court Is to tho effort that no property can be purchased unless thero Is on baud. In the proper fund sufficient money to pay for It. At the time the property was first pur chased there wns not sufficient funds In the treasury. Mr. Pronnan now says that In order to purchase the property legally tho Inst time, readvertlslng should have been dono nnd tho property purchased after tho samo manner In which It was originally bought. This has not been done One of the main defences of nrunnan Is to the effect that there Is not now. nnd never has been since this matter has been agitated, enough money In tho treasury to buy the property at the prlco named On this there Is a great deal of confilct. The school treasurer says that ho Is un able to determine the amount on hand, owing to outstanding warrants. Urennan says that there Is no doubt that $!,300 Is on hand, but whether it Is In the proper fund to buy the property Is nnother question. He maintains that no other fund can bo broken Into to secure this money. I)y the report of Kxp.Tt Accountnnt Bently. employed by tho board somo time ago, Mr. Brenunn says that there was an absolute lack of funds shown. Since thai Mr. Hoctor has had the accounts audited by a private accountant, but he cannot tell what amount this showed to he In the treasury. In tho resolution adopted somo time ngo for tho purchase of the property It was provided that It could only be bought nnd a warrant Issued, when the school attorney had certified tho title to be clear This has always been a defense for not signing the warrant, but the opposite fac tion detected this error and Attorney Breen today served a notlco upon Drennan to tho effect that tho title was clear nnd that Thomas Hoctor had good right and authority to deed the property to the board. Mr. nrennan declared that nt the hear ing today he will present to the court the difficulties that havo surrounded him In this matter. Mnjor's l'rorlainii I Ion.
