"The call haa been framed In Etrlct con
formance with directions of the county
committee embodied In the resolutions
adapted at Its last two meetings. It pro

Importance. Naturally, each candidate
thinks tbc oOee to which he aspires Is tbe I
tf.c-t important, but I have named tbe
chcriC first as the bead of tbe ticket, with
the county Judge second, the county clerk

county treasurer and so on down tbc list.
I have Included one representative to the
legislature to fill the vacancy left by the
resignation of Mr. Mullen, when he went to
Alaska as' the federal appointee.
t(ut-tiin of Commission Dint rlct .
"As to the county commissioners, I have
Included then without stating specifically
the particular district from which nomina
tions will be mad, because we expect to
bring tbe contention as to which districts
elect this year before the courts and secure
a court decision before the convention acts.
Republicans will maintain that tbe election
should be In the district composed of the
Third, Eighth and Ninth wards In case the
democratic gerrymander Is Invalid, and In
the district composed of tbe Fourth, Sev
enth aud Eighth wards It tbe redisricting
is held good.
"'The polling places In most of the wards
and preclncU are the same at which re
publican primaries have been usually held
In previous ycirs, and the rules and regu
lations with respect to the filllnr of peti
tions to place the names of deleg.tlons on
the ofPclal orlmary ballot are unchanged.
These petitions must be filed with the
requisite number of signatures not later
than II o'clock noon, Tuesday, Septem
ber All that the committee, and I desire to
secure is a tull and representative conven
tion tl delegates reflecting the real wishes
of a majority of the republicans In Douglas

we have made are best calculated to bring
about that result."

PLACE OF REGISTER IN MUCH DEMAND
elieine Laid hr the Doughty Axftl
rant to Land the .Nomination Are
Many, Varied mid Amus
InR for the Onlookers.
With their primaries only a week oil
democratic politicians are gettiug busy.
Perhaps the busiest of tbe scramblers for
office are Harry Deuel, Prank Ci.risman
and Harry Miller, all of whom are di earn
ing of four years in the register of dctdi
oQte at JI,5W) per year.
The roll top of Harry Deuel s dtsk n
tbe county auditor's office was not dis
turbed yesterday, for the auditor considered
it well to exhibit himself in uc country
prtclacts so that the democratic voters of
the rural districts might stature blm up
for the register's nomination. 1 sppears
that Deuel realizes that his Imagination was
playing a trick on him a week ot so ago
when it led blm to think that be bad a
cinch on the nomination. The entrance of
Miller Into the fight with a prospect of se
curing the delegation from Deuel's owu
ward has made the last named aapitant
somewhat nervous.
Several days ago the Deuel men mafic an
heroic effort to switch Chrkman to bs
county clerkship nomination. They told ib
South Omaha man how very glad tboy
would be to have both cn the ticket. The
explained that a ticket with an old-timer
like Deuel and a "comer" like Chritman
on It would be Just the thing to harmonize
all factions and bring delight to the dem
ocratic heart. Tbey argued tbat the t alary
of the clerk's office was Just as much as
that of the register's and tbe patronage was
greater. And at tbe conclusion of tbe con
ference all tbat Chrlsman could say wae:
"Well, I've no objection to Deuel running
for clerk. I'm a candidate for register of
deeds."
Miller Is Just as anxious to eliminate
Chrlsman from the register contest as Deuel
Is, but his tactics are different. He U tell
ing bis friends what a fine candidate for
county clerk Henry Oest of South Omaha
would make. It happens that Oest Is presi
dent of tbe South Omaha Rermiin. Amerlmti
Democratic club, which has endorsed Chrls
man for register of deeds. It alto happens
that the call for the democratic convention
brings the nomination for clerk in ahead
of that for register. The Miller scheme is
to eprlng Oest for clerk, secure his nomina
tion If possible, and then when It comes
to nominating a candidate for register It
will be out of the question to put another
South Omaha man on the ticket. Tbat Oest
would throw his friend Chrlsman and per
mit a game of this kind to be put through
Is doubted, but such schemes have teen
known to succeed In the lace of protests
from partlee In Interest.
Harry Miller says that he has a sure thing
In the Fourth ward, where he will run a
delegation headed by Pat Tobln, P. H.
Carey, Tom McGovern and Frank Murphy.
He insists that friends In the ward whs
have opposed him for nominations In tte
past have told him tbat tbey are with him
this year.
Tom Hoctor Is making anxious Inquiry
as to how a candidate for the South Omaha
commissioner nomination who succeeds In
bringing In a plurality of tbe delega'es
from bis district will stand with the city
delegates. Thle Inquiry is significant. It
shows that Hoctor Is not expecting to show
up In the convention with a majority of the
South Omaha delegates and is looking fcr
help from other quarters. There is no nr
I hue to the prospects of Hoctor among tbe
umana democrats, for they are generally of
the opinion that this particular South
Omaha statesman has been doing overtime
at the public crib. So It hae been put down
that Hoctor must be denied the nomination
unless be comes into the convention with
at least twenty out of the twenty-four
South Omaha delegates. As there are five
hustlers in this particular fight It makes
It doubtful whether Thomas will get even
a majority of the delegates from his dis
trict. Much more than local significance Is be
ing given the approaching picnic of the Jack
sonlans. At present the understanding
seems to be 'hat it will be made the occa
alon cf a defi from the Bryanltes to the
reorganize, and that the free silver wing
of the party will announce through Its lead
ers Its undying fealty to the Issue on
which It lias twice gone to defeat. Hnu-
this phase of the picnic is viewed In the
cast u snown in the following published
in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat under a
Washington date:
"The proposal to have a meetlnr of Rrmn
democrats at the Jackson club picnic at
umana, .-sen., has caused not a little com
ment among eastern politicians. . It is
learned that thus far Governor McMlllln of
Tennessee and Governor Culberson of Texas
are to be present and deliver addresses,
as will Candidate Bryan.
"The fact that It w-as proposed at first
to Invite David B. Hill of New York to
participate, and later, for some unex
plained reason, this decision was altered
and no invitation will be sent the New
Yorker, has caused no end of comment.
Politicians here who have been Matching
the trend of events In the west say there
Is every lndlcotion that tbe Omaha meet
ing will mark the beginning of a fight by the
ree suvcr ana radical Bryan element in
tbe democratic party to retain control of
the national organization.
"The recent statement by Senator Vest
and those credited to others, who partici
pated actively in the management of the
last democratic campaign discounting the
Influence and principles of Bryan, has thor
oughly alarmed that element of tbe party
which stood with tbe Nebraska leader.
The action of the Ohio and Pennsylvania
democrats in rejecting the last national
issue of the democrats has bad an effect,
also. The opinion is freely expressed here
that, if Bryan and his following find that
the eastern element of the party and the
gold element of the middle west threaten !
to break away from Bryan leadership, they
will go to the extent of formlni- tMr
party. Bryan or none of his following will
admit that the movement Is a third party
movement, but in eSect It will result the
same. The Bryan people will refuse to
recognize those who do not reaffirm the
Kansas City platform. Possibly they may
be found In a minority, but tney will claim
to be 'regulars,' and those who refuse to
Join them tbey will Insist on forming a
third party.
"Several public men who have spent a
portion of the summer In the middle west
y that a surprise Is In store for the
eastern democrats who propose a reorganlz
atlon movement. They admit that there
has been a growing impression in the east
that the party bad, after two trials and
i Ur"' faaU' rM littU f he Bryan
fallacy. These men. notably one who has
spent the last six weeks In Ohio. Indiana,
.Nebraska. Kansas and Iowa, say that the
Bryan strength in parts of the west re
mains surprisingly strong. He says that,
while there Is much talk of a new organ
Irntlon in Missouri, he believes, from what
be haa beard from tbe Interior of that
3atf, that the free silver Bryan men are
much stronger there than has been realized
in the east It is believed here that at
the Omaha meeting some plain talk will be
indulged In by the Bryan leaders and the
gauntlet thrown down to those who pro
pose reorganization and tbe elimination of
Bryan and free sliver and tbe type of so
cialism for which Brjsn has stood.'
TWO HIGHWAYMEN ARE CAUGHT
Dot Ther llmr Kitten the Cookie
and Their Fair Victim Are
1 ncoiiKolntilr.
Highway robberies In Omaha will doubt
less be less frequent duiing tbe next few
days, as tbe poller last night arrested two
of the most desperafe offenders that ever
Infested this western country. The names
of these bold, bad men are Jltarule Jones,
aged 11 years, and Theodore Dixon, aged
9 years, both colored. Tbe evidence against
tbem seems to be conclusive, and It their
punishment Is made to fit their crime they
will he locked up In a gingerbread Jail.
In the early part of the evening, two girls,
Edith Knight and a little miss named Teren,
each about II years of age. residing at 140
North Thirtieth street, went to a grocery
store and purchased some cookies. When
at Thirty-sixth and Tarnam streets, on their
way home, tbey were suddenly confronted
by four colored boys, who li Tegular west
ern style hissed.
"Hands up! Stand and deliver'"
The hands of tbe glrh shot Into air and
with them the sack of cookies.
"Dars de Wells Fargo kids! Nab dere
stuff! Dafs all da got! Now hot foot'"
said the leader, and they vanished with the
cookies,
When tbe girls realized what had hap
pened they quickly told their story and the
police were notified. All along the line the
news went out and eery bluecoat In Omaha
was on the watch out for the bold highway
men. In a short time Detectives Drummy
and Mitchell returned to the station with
Theodore Dixon, with some of tbe crumbs
I of the cookies still sticking to his lips.
They were soon followed by Officers Story
and Osborne, having in tow Jimale Jones.
Their two comrades have so far eluded the
officers.

GIVE THEM CHANCE TO PAY IN WORK
Chief Mitchell Declare City I'rl.
oner Are ot llrlna; rroperly
fed nnd $ay There Oniclit
to lie a Chantte.
Councilman Fred Martin bat a scheme
whereby he hopes to assist certain tax
payers In the payment of their personal
taxes. According to the mayor It Is neces
sary to curtail expenses in tbe street de
partment and tbe proposition is made to
permit those who owe personal taxes to
work on the streets In lieu of paying cash
Martin's resolution, which was agreed to
by the council Tuesday night, permits all
citizen freeholders having unpaid taxes on
real estate or otherwise, as may be shown
by tbe books of the city treasurer, to be
allowed t: per day for eight hours' work
until the full amount of tbe taxes shall
have been worked out
Those drslrlng to work out their tiixes can
do so upon request. If the provisions are
carried out. First the person desiring -o
work must in a certificate from 'fit tress
urer showing a list of unpaid taxes. Tb s
statement must be taken to the major, vbo,
after Inspection, will place the delinquent
In charge of the street commissioner. When
the amount of taxes is worked out tbe street
commissioner will so certify and the tax
on the treasurer's books will be cancelled.
In the same resolution It was agreed that
all city employes must be residents of the
city of South Omaha and oiust be tax
payers.
"While Martin's idea may be good," said
an official of the city last evening, "his
scheme will not work. The plan as I un
derstand It is to secure road work done
without employing labcr. Very few If any
of tbe taxpayers will take kindly to the
proposition and the chances are tbat the
acting mayor will veto the resolution."
Another city official, who Is In close
touch with tte people, said tbat tbe Idea
of Martin's to employ no one on the streets
or In any other capacity except he be a tax
payer was all foolishness. Many men have
lived here for years, be said, who work
every day In tbe year and yet do not ac
cumulate enough property to warrant their
paying taxes.
Although adopted by a vote of every
member of the council, the resolution will
doubtless be consigned to tbe files when
the mayor reads It through.
Complaint Ationt I'rlonrr' Mcnl.
Chief of Police Mitchell Is going to make
a complaint to tbe city council about the
meals furnished to the prisoners In the
city Jail by Legro, the contractor. Some
months ago the city, council entered into
an agreement with Legro to furnish meals
to the prisoners at tbe rate of 5 cents
per meal. At the time the contract was let
Lecro was operating a hotel. Since be has
sold bis Interest in the hostelry the meals
have been getting worse every day. Not
of'r tb prUoners. but the chief complains
and the council win he called upon to do
something.
In speaking of the matter, the chief said
that the meals were not served on time and
what was given was not enough to sustain
a man who is compelled to work on the
streets. Tbe chief thinks that with better
food the prisoners will work better on the
rock pile or on the weed cutting gang.
"What is wanted." said the chief. "Is a
15-cent meal for working prisoners. I would
suggest that the contract with Legro be
cancelled and tbat an arrangement be made
with some restaurant for the furnishing of
food for the prisoners In the city Jail."
Last month Legro supplied 39S meals to
prisoners at a cost of ICS. 40.

A member of tbe Board of Education said
last evening tbat on Friday night when
tbe board meets in special session to go
over the complaint of David Anderson re
garding the eligibility of certain teachers
that there would be a surprise In store for
tbe venerable politician.
Mr. Anderson has asserted tbat fifteen
teachers recently elected are not competent
and have no certificates. This member of
the board asserts that Mr. Andersoa has
been misinformed and don't know what he
Is talking about. At this meeting on Fri
day night tbc certificates of the teachers.
It is stated, will be produced.

According to tbe report of Treasurer
Koutsky, there Is at the present time In

at once to prevent the Board of Education
from awarding a contract to anyone for

Kodol
Dyspepsia Cupo
The process of digestion is simply explained. In the mouth,
food is masticated and mixed with saliva containing a dlgestant
called ptyalln. In tho 6tomach, it is acted upon by gastric juice
containing pepsin, which digests albuminous foods. In th
intestines, pancreatln is added to digest fat and starches.
Indigestion always Indicates an lMufflclent amount of one or
all of these dlgestanU. At first thought It seems proper to abstain
from foods not easily digested; but reflection shows us that
while this affords relief by giving the weakened organs less to
do, it only makes them weaker by giving them less nourishment.
It you suffer from indigestion, the only right thing to do is to
eat a generous variety of food and digest It by using such a
preparation as Kodol Dtspkpsia Cure, which contains all the
known digestants, and completely digests what you eat.
It can't help but do you good
