standing the fact 'that Governor Savage has
given It out that he did uot want to be
bothered with the Omaha police conmli-
Inn appointments until after tho forty
days had expired In which motions for a
rehearing of the lledcll case may be filed, It
Is known that efforts arc- being made tu
arm him with Iciral advice- tulTlclcnt to
ratlsfy him that ha may act. It will be
lemembercd that bh soon as the decision
vbb handed down the governor hurried
back from Chicago to be on the' ground
promptly with Ills police commission ap

Deputy Attorney (ieneral Drown for an
opinion to bu rendered at onrc in the ab
tento of tho attorney gencraf, who was In
Washington In attendance upon the su
preme court thtire.
Deputy Attorney General Drown looked
up tho law, with tho conclusion that the
governor would have no more assurance of
ncatlng his appointees than had Governor
l'oynter before him, but when hu reduced
bis views to writing nnd offered them tu
tho governor tho latter reliwed to accept

clined to furnish the Information.
lu the meunwhllo Attorney General Trout
returned and the matter was referred to
him, and pending his Inability to lorntp tb
requlolte authorities it was announced that
tho governor was In no hurry after all nnd
would not give Omaha police matters oven
another thought until the forty-day limit
for tho Issuance of the mandate had come,
tho expectation being that by, that time,
with tho retirement of Judgo Norvtil from
the bench and tho accession of Judge Sedg
wick In his place, something might turn up
to straighten thing out.
In tho meanwhile, however, Attorney
General Trout Is still at work trying to
find material for an opinion that will re
verso that formulated by his deputy. It
is said that he has sought the anslstance
of John Ij. Webutcr of Omaha and the
whole thing Is now up to Webster to give
the governor the legal framework upon
which to etnnd. Two weeks remain of the
forty dayn' stay, during which the attorney
general will wait upon Mr. Webster nnd by
that ttmo the tomes of legal lore tiro ex
pected to give forth nn opinion for the at

WARING HELD FOR FORGERY
Son of Onin.hu Mnn AlleHcil to Have

Check.
COLUMDUS, Neb.. Dec. 30. (Special
Telegram.) Tho young man under arrest
at Columbus for forgery, Postmaster Kra
mer having endorsed a check for o0 for
him, la Frank E. Waring, son of the well
known Omaha court reporter, H. M. War
ing. Tho father was hero yesterday and
says he Is making nn effort to have hlra
sent to an Insano asylum, as his mind Is
clearly unbalanced. Tho father nlso says
that tho woman with hlra Is hla wife. She
accompanied the senior Waring to hla home
In Omaha. Young Waring has made regu
lar trips here for six months or more for
tho Elliott & Hatch Hook Typewriter com
pany, whoso signature ho Is alleged to have
forged, nnd his conduct never excited sus
picion before. His preliminary hearing
has not been held. Ho Is wanted at Slblov,
la., whero he gave the name of H. F. 1'rlce.
nnd also at Worthlngton and Luvcrno,
Minn., and Creston and Atlantic, in., tor
similar, charges. His wifo was heart
broken and objected seriously to leaving
him.
Kxplnnatlnn from the Fnlhrr,
Henry M. Waring, tn referring to his son's
condition, says:
"I had hoped that publication would not
bo mado of tho fact of my son's arrest
at Columbus, nnd It Is with regret that I
find I am compelled to take tho public Into
my confidence with regard to family mis
fortunes, but In view of tho wldo publica
tion of tho doings of my son, published In
tho Council llluffs columns of tho city
papers, I deem It necessary to do so, es
pecially In vlow of tho telegram from Col-
umbqs giving his truo nam,c. Much that
has been published In tho council niuns
columns Is untruo or greatly overdrawn,
while thero Is eomo truth In some of those
statements. I suffered for a long tlmo In
silence, and paid out dollars by tho hun
dreds tn an effort to keep tho young man
straight, but found It nn Impossibility.
Somo tlmo ago I became convinced that he
was not mentally responsible, nnd filed a
complaint ngalnst him, charging him with
Insanity. Ho was apprehended, and arter
consultation with tho Insanity commission,
In view of the fact that they did not
bellevo that even if they committed him
to the asylum that he would be kept there
but a short time, It was thought best to havo
him committed to ray custody, which was
done. I placed hlra In a private Banltarlum,
but tho expense was too great for me to
stand, and I withdrew hlra after a time.
Subsequently I again placed him there for
a short time, He suddenly left town and
heard nothing more of him until No
vember 27 last, when the sheriff of Wash
ington county Informed me that ho hnd
him In custody, but that tho charge against
him has been withdrnwn. I went to Illalr
from Teknmah, whero I was then attending
court, nnd my wife brought him here. Owing
to the fact that I expected to bo absent
from tho city llmost constantly for sov
oral weeks, (which has proven to be tho
case, having rcturneu to mis city irom
Illalr one week ago last Saturday nt the
close of the term there), I had not tho
tlmo to determine what to do with him, and
so kept htm In seclusion here until I could
return homo to Btny, when I could deter
mine what to do with him. The day before
I returned from Blair he left the city,
An soon as I returned homo nnd found
hlmgone, I .Immediately set to work to lo
cate him. nnd from Monday a week ago 'I
havo traveled nearly 1,500 miles on false
clues, besides telephoning to numerous
places within nnd without the state whero
I hoped to npprchend htm. On Saturday
I was informed he was under arrest at
York, not David City, and was to bo taken
to Columbus, to which place I Immediately
went. I firmly believe the boy Is not "men
tally sound, and honestly believing that I
Bhall undertako to demonstrate It beforo

til when I trust the public will withhold
Judgment In his case."

LINCOLN, Dec. 30. (Special Telegram.)
Tonight's trains brought In tho advance
gunrd of members of the Nebraska
Stato Teachers association, which will bo
tn annual session hero on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of thU weok. A few
preliminary meetings will be held tomor
row, but the renl work of tho convention
will not be begun until Now Year's dav.
President Hcltzraan of Dcatrlco nnd J. 1).
French of Hastings, members of tho ex
ecutive committee, arrived tonight and es
tablished headquarters nt the hotel. The
officers confidently expect an attendance of
fully 1,500 teachers.
The program for tomorrow consists of a
business session of county superintendents,
meeting of tho Nebraska Educational
council nnd a high school debate. In the
debate the high schools entered are: Omaha
Lincoln, Uentrlce, Nebraska City, Creto
and York. Wednesday thero will bo lab
oratory demonstrations at tho unlversttv
and meetings of the various auxiliary asso
ciations, Including the county superintend
ents and the educational council, nnd tho
dny's exercises will close with a general as
sembly at tho auditorium.
With the members who arrived today
camo several who aro talked of for presi
dent of tho association. Hut llttlo political
discussion Is heard, however, and It Is
not likely that efforts will bo mado tu be
half of any candidate until Wednesday.
when practically tho full attendance will be
on the ground.
President Slinnlil lleiipllt Atntoclnt Ion,
Prof. Condra of Lincoln, who has been
mentioned for tho presidency, said this
morning:
"What Llncqln should havo Is a place on
tho executive committee. As for tho prcsl
dency, tho president should bo ono who
will bo for tho benetlt of the association,
Instead of one to bo benefited by the asso
ciation. What use has been mado of my
name has been entirely without my know!
edge or authority."
Superintendent A. O. Thomas of Kearney
was In the city this morning. He, too, has
been mentioned for the presidency nnd was
an active and promising candldato last
year. He said this morning:
"It's only nonepapcr gossip. Two re
ports aro always circulated by the papers
at these annual sessions. One Is that Su
perlntendent I'earse Is coming down from
Omaha with his head filled with plans nnd
cchomcs, and the other Is that I am coming
with similar aspirations. Tho first I hnd
heard of my candldncy this year was when
I saw It In tho papers.
"As to tho attendance this year I fear It
won't be quite what It was lost year. I
hopo It will bo up to the record, however,
but thero are so many of tho schools tn tha
North Platte district that are lu session
this week thnt tho attendance will bo af
fected, 1 foar."
IVnlr rliiuinc Olijcctn.
Principal Wntcrhouso of Omaha obJcctB
to having his name linked to certain pollt
lcnl movements within the organization. Ho
has written'
"In tho numerous political forecasts
made for the coming Stato Teachers' as
sociation I havo seen my name mentioned
ns that of one of the candidates for tho
presidency of tho association.
"I nm not and shall not be a candidate,
It Is an ever recurring Impression wtlh me
that thero should bo no candidates. Tho
Sthto Teachers' association wns organized
I suspect, and Is maintained for tho pro
fesslonal advancement of nil Interested In
educational work and not for tho local glorl
flcatlon of nny Individual. There should ho
no candidate, but when any man's work or
position In the profession Is of such
character as to bo an honor to us all, ho
should be mndo the spontaneous and unan
lmous candidate. In becoming that honor,
however, he has not had tlmo to devoto the
whole association period to buttonholing
those who usually come from far nnd near
for educational gain, but has spent his ordi
nary time In working out educational prob
lems for his people or Institution nnd his
association time In contributing to the edu
catlonal Interest and value of section' or
general meetings.
"Tho presidency of tho Nebraska Stato
Teachers' association is not tho right of nny
section of the state or of the educational
work. It should bo tho proffered recogni
tion for eminence tn some line of educa
tional work.
"I do not feel at this time that my work
or association with, my fellow teachers has
been such as to entitle mo to this recogni
tion, nnd upon my own motion my candi
dacy will never exist."
Cundlilnte fur Certificates,
Twelvo candidates for professional certifi
cates wero being examined this morning.

sisting of State Superintendent Fowlor, Su

During the devastation of Cuba, young tobacco plants
were brought over from the Vuclta Abajos district of the
island and transplanted in a few chosen spots near southern
Atlantic and Gulf waters. In some places they thrived.
These were sprouted and multiplied until good sired crops
were raised. After nearly three years' natural curing a
perfectly delicious genuine Vuelta is obtained.
Escaping the enormous duties the projectors are enabled
to produce a five cent cigar with a prime genuine Vuelta
filler. The best kind of a properly cured Sumatra wrapper,
with all bitterness removed, is added. These features are
very unmistakable in the cigar produced thereby. It is the
Tom Kcene. It has the exquisite "Java Coffee" taste of
f finest goods.
We guarantee the genuineness and vast suferioriiy of this product.
! ci77 notice it. Further explanations will be unnecessary.
