LEGISLATURE IS' SURELY REPUBLICAN lnlr rMiimlMccinrn I nnlilr lo "re Where Poiocrnll Ormm f.'mi I'lnlni Pnynlrr' Kiev linn. State Chairman II. C. Mmlsay with lils aides went systematically nbout the tnak yesterday of checking over the state returns on Rovcrnor In order to maku ssuranco doubly sure that Charlen II. Dietrich la firmly sealed In tho statu house chair. Art Ins on the tooory that tho Omaha World Herald Is' sincere In Its tabulations thn com mlttco In comparing that paper villi tlio Lincoln Journal, Tho Ilco and Its private Information to discover wuero tho lame dis crepancy between tho fusion sheet and tho other papers happened to crc-p In, With only three countlea mlssltiK and IhoRo republican Tho Ueo'a reports ftbow a majority for Dietrich of 1.1T8. The Mncolu Journal, with four counties missing, Ts more sangulno and fixes Mr. Dietrich's lead at l.fiSD. Tho World-Herald lus been unablo to account for six counties, but In tho ro inatnlns elKhty-four has found a majority for Dietrich of only 208. Tho tables aro being compared by counties and wherever an Important dlfferenco Is discovered an In (ulry la sent by telegraph to ascertain th ulllclal vote. Chairman Lindsay expecta to bo ablu to announco an absolute result to morrow. In tho faco of tho strong array of cvl lnnco that thrro Is u largo Jagged holo In Its computations, tho World-Herald per mIbUi In Its claim that I'oyntcr will land on top. H. I., Mctcalf, editor, remarked thin morning that the figures received at his oftlco still Justified the belief Hint I'oyntcr would win. Tho statu commlttco had not been long at IIh task until II came upou a World-Herald blunder which added 210 votes to Dietrich's Hcoro and defeated I'oyntcr even on tho basis of 11k lire presented by tho populist paper. Tho World-Herald gavo Washington tounty to I'oyntcr by 170 majority, when tho ofllclal returns secured from tho county seat fix Dietrich's majority at exactly that a mount. Tho raper conceded that tho result waA In a Imlanrc bo dellrato that a dozen otcs would Bivlng It either way itud tho committed concludes that tho election of Dietrich will now bo universally mlmttted. "Tim two republican papers which have (unviisscd tho state fully, together with our own advices, show a. majority for Diet rich runnh.c; well upwnrd of 1,000 nnd tho final result will bo In that neighborhood," h:iI(1 Chairman Lindsay. "As to tho legis lature, no have flfty-thrco members In tho houso nnd eighteen in tho senate, or a ma jority of four on Joint ballot. If tho fu slonlstu succeed In ruling out Olson wo will still havo room to spare, with seventceu senators." Tho republican slate headquarters at the Her Grand virtually went out of business yesterday. Chairman Lindsay will spend n few days of this week In tho city, re turning toward tho latter part to his homo In I'awneo City. Secretary John T. Mnl lalleu has already closed his desk and re turned to his Insurance business ut Kear ney. Tho democratic fitato commlttco rooms at tho I'axton hotel wero abandoned yes terday and Chairman Hall has returned to his homo at Lincoln. Doth parties ex pect to maintain headquarters ut tho stato capital during the sitting of tho legisla ture. Tho republican county committee consid ers Its mission well fulfilled and has closed Its quarters In Tho Deo building. Ono of tho longest ami most honorable political records borno by any republican In tho city Is that boasted of by A. II. Ilcaington, Wi South Thirty-third street. Mr. Rodlagton cast his first vote for Henry Clr.y In 1832 and continued faithfully lu his Whig allegiance, casting his ballot for W. . Harrison In 1836 nnd 1S40, and so along tho lino until tho formation of tho repub lican party In 1852 under tho oaks at Jack son, Mich. Ho has voted slnco for ovory republican candldato up to and Including 1900, making a total of eighteen whig nnd republican presidential votes to his crodlt. POLITICS IN SCHOOL BOARD OpiioaliiK Faotluua Will Hnrjr llnleltct nil "Work Tnuctlirr In IIki-iiioii j-. With five new members on the Hoard of Kducatlon there Is much speculation ns to tho probablo llno-up of factions. Millard 1'. Funkhouser, who was elected for a short terra, Is a distinct novelty In educational circles In that he la tho tlrst democrat who has been on tho board for some time, lie Hides Mr. Funkhouser, tho new members aro Theodore II. Johnson, James W. May nard, Fred Stubbendorf nnd William 13. ('bristle. Morris Levy nnd J. J, Smith wero re-elected to places on tho board. Tho fight between J. M. Otllan and J. ) llurgcss for tho s6crotaryuhlp of tho Hoard of Education was thn lino of demarkatlon for the opposlug factions and tho majority, MWECIWN rOREVERY "I am the mother of four children," writes Mrs. IJunhemia Falconer, of Trent, Muskegon Co., Mich. "Mv first two babies were still-born, anil I suffered every thing- but death. My friends all thought I could never tecover. I was reduced to tog pounds, When I was three months along for my third child I was taken with hemorrhage or flooding and came near having a miscarriaee from female weakness. For two months I was under the care of our doctor, but was getting weaker alt the time until one day I happened to corae across one of your little books and I read it through, and the next day I sent and cot three bottles of 'Favorite Prescription1 and one bottle of ' relict.1 I improved so fast I cor.Unued to take your medicine until baby was born, and he is healthy and all right My health has been good ever aince. I now weigh 165 pounds." "Fmvorltm Prmsorip iian" mm km m Yimmk Wommn Strong, ami Shk Wommn Wmtt. mm, or llurgess faction, retains tho following men on the board: H. X. Wood, ?'.:.illc S. Haywarcl, J. C. Ilernard, Robsrt Sniilh, W. 1 Johnson and Morris Levy. Thn Hur joss Rupptrtcr who retires Is U. P. Thomas, president of the board. Of tho Olllan Blip porters K. 14. tlrucc, A. A. lluchanan, 11. J. I'enfold and J, C. Mooro retire, leaving only Frederick V. Teal, Charles 13. Illack and N. M. Howard to represent tho cause for which seven members struggle 1. It has been rumored that thcro Is a dis position on tho part of tho two opposing factious to bury tho hatchet and Join with tho nov." members in creating a board whl'.h Is not divided against Itself. Tho rctlro mcnt of President Thomas necessitates tho election of another president, however, Hnd It will tako a generous amount of diplo macy to prevent tho old fight from enterhi3 Into tho contest. In former years It has been customary to select a president from the members who havo been on the board a long time. Threo members of the present board, Tenl, Hayward and Illack, aro serv ing for the third time nnd aro Booking tho ofllc?. Mr. Howard has also been sug gested as a probablo candidate. In caio the seven supporters of Ilurgcsj stick together In tho reorganization It Is not probable that Teal, llluck or Howard will bo acceptable to them as chairman. If tho seven members who reprosent the old majority could bo held together It is likely that they could secure at least ono of tho now members und securo tho election of a mun of their choice. It Is reported, how ever, that J. J. Smith and Barnard aro not bound to this faction with hoops of steel nnd must bo put In tho doubtful column with tho nowly elected members. Wlso politicians aro speculating as to which way tho new members will turn, but tho guesses aro us varied ns tho gucssers. Soma forecasters predict that Christie and Theodore Johnson will unquestionably lino up with the remnant of the minority party and that Funkhouser will be In line with tho majority fuctlon. With Uaruard and J. J. Smith still In line and with Funk houser on thnlr bIiIo tho llurgess mon would hnve unquestioned sway and the election of Hayward to tho chair would bo nssurcd. Tho new members refuse to discuss the situation until the board has counted tho ballots and tho result of tho election Is ofll dally determined. This canvass will be mado Monday night, but cannot bring about results different from thoso announced, as only thirteen precincts out of seventy-six aro yet to be heard from. ALLEN ONE OF THE MOURNERS I'opocrnllc Senator AtlrnU die ntinp iiulm of llr-.tniiUm In the Mntn or .cltriikii. Senator W. V. Allen is in the city nnd, In company with several congenial splrlta, attended tho Informal obsequies of Bryan- Ism nt tho I'axton hotel yesterday. In a private conversation with n prominent local nttornoy tho senator admitted that tho fuslonlsts had lost tho legislature, but when n reporter for The Heo npprouched him on tho aubject ho denied ho had ever mado such an assertion. "It all depends on tho count In Douglas county," ho said. "It will bo very clone. As to tho gubernatorial situation, I think wo havo I'oynter elected." MRS. HANSEN'S SAD QUEST Old mill I'o verly-Slrlrkcn, Slip Coon About the City lit Search or Her Lout Children. Mrs. Mnry Hansen called at the police station Friday, as sho has called many times during tho Inst six months, and asked to see her son, Joseph, and her daughter, Oxallnn. She received the same old answer: "Wo hnvo no such persons In here." Then sho tried to explain, as sho always does, that they had glvon assumed names, and essuyed a description of her loBt children, but the poor old woman can speak scarcely n word of English and tho desk sergeant could not understand her. Ho gathered only that her reason Is totter ing and that sho Is a nuisance. Two years ago old Mary Hanson was woll-to-do as tho world estimates such things. She had ' husband, two blight children nnd a homestead near Scuudla, down In Republic county, Knnsas. Then her husband camo to Omaha to work on tho railroad and Inter sho and tho children Joined him. He wub killed lu an nccldont Sho remained hero a few months, tlieu went to Scandla to comply with tho homo stead laws. leaving her children behind, for thoy had reached an accountnblo nge, Joseph bolng IS and Oxallna 21. Doth wero working at tho time. That Is tho last nho ever saw of Joseph and Oxallna. When sho returned to Omaha n year ago they had disappeared, leaving no word, and, though sho hns searched for them Incessantly In hor feeblo way, the quest has been fruitless. Then camo tho news that her claim down In Kansas had been "Jumped. " She Is now penniless, old, feeble, broken-hearted, dependent for a livelihood upon tho meager plttaneo who makes as dishwasher In a third-class restaurant. And, worst of all, sho Is not Quito right In her head. Constaut brood ing over hor Iobb lias affected her mind, causing her to do and say quoer things. When this trouble first camo upon Mary Hansen a kind woman out on Thirty-first nvenuo took pity on her and gavo her em ployment ns a domestic, but later, when tho signs of mental dcraugemcnt became obvious, sho waB turned away and her qaso brought to tho attontlon of the In sanity board, which deferred action. She now works in a miserable little kitchen, surrounded by persons who oru none too kind, who do not understand her queer lingo nnd whom sho does not understand. Sho weops much of the tlrao and repeats the names of her lost children, RIVALS INDULGE IN FIGHT Hnllom ror 11 Younu IVomnii'ii Nmlli-pi IiulnlKe In .Mlx-l nml Land In Court, They rolled In tho grass In front of tho Schwatka home, H07 Dorcas street, Otto Ilydcr vainly striving to break away from Carl Morris' half-Nelson, while Minnie Schwatka stood by screaming. That Is where Mlnnlo mado her mistake. If Bhe hadn't screamed the neighborhood would not havo been Reused and Officer Carroll wouldn't havo arrested Itydcr and Morris for disturbing tho peace by fighting. Uut Minnie, fearing a murder was Imminent, acted from impulse, and so bungled things nnd bad to tell all about It In police court. Otto and Carl aro rivals for the hand of Minnie. Friday night Carl called, only to find that tho young woman had left a moment before with Otto, destined to the theater. Ho sat down In tho purlor to visit with Minnie's mamma, but found It dif ficult to Jabber about church Boclals and Sunday school missionary funds while his sgul yearned for revenge, so ho wont out and walked up nnd down tho sidewalk to nwnlt their return. It was 11M5, otto, having bado Mlnnlo gcodbye, strodo blithely homeward, whistling a strain from tbo Olpny love song, when suddenly Carl stepped out from be hind the snowball bush and the whistling ceased as abruptly as when something goes nmlss with the organ motor during the offertory.

In his fight against tho proposed change Secretary Utt will bo assisted by tho commercial icproscntntlvcs of Kansas City and St. Joseph. Tho railroads havo contended before that boxes of such goods should bo wired, as sorting that their losses by claims mado. for goods lost aro so largo that some relief Is needed, and they believe this relief would como It tho boxes wero moro securely wired. Tho expense to tho Jobbing Interests, how ever, lu case such 11 rule wero put Into forco would bo a big Item, so large In fact that tho commercial men nro unalterably op posod to It. It Is conservatively estimated that tho cost of wiring such enbes would be 7 cents each, and tho number of cases sent out annually numbers Into the hundreds of thousands with Bonia of tho larger firms. I'xpciinu I 'ill In on JoIiImtn, Tho Jobbers maintain that tho entire extra exponso would havo to bo met by thorn, In asmuch ns competition Is so strong that It would hu out of thn question to attempt to mako tho rota. lor share a portion of the bur den. And then, too, tho Omaha Jobbers would hnvo to pay tho expense of wlrlug not only tho goods shipped out by them, but as well on nil shipments received from tho manufacturers and distributing wholesalers, In this way tho Jobber would havo to pay tho o'xpenao of wiring at both ends. In ofllclal classification territory east of thu Mississippi river no chargo is mado for wiring cases, so that the Chicago and St. Louis Jobber could get his shipments from tho eastern wholesaler or manufacturer without having to pay nny oxpenso for wir ing. Omaha, Kansas City and St. Joseph Jobbers maintain that this would bo dis crimination against them, since thoy nro In competition with Jobbers In Chicago nnd St. Louis, and tho added expenso of having to pay for wiring on goods shipped from tho east, from which tho Jobbers In competition with them would bo exempt, would bo n pronounced handicap.

It will taste more like straw than the sweet, spicy richness of nature's rea! in tended tobacco. It lacks entirely the peculiar "edge" and sub stance of real tobacco.
