Plans of tha Fnsloalsts.
Th democratic state committee will open
headquarter in Omaha during tha coming
week and will place a lieutenant In charge.
Whether tha populists will open at th
, sama time and th two be run under a Joint
I head I not known her now, because Chair
man Hall of th state committee and Lee
Herdman are both out of town.
The line of work to be mapped out by
the headquarters In Omaha will be along
the line of the Nebraska City democratic
convention, which Indorsed Judge Paul
Jeasen, the republican nominee forjudge of
the Fifteenth district, In district where
the democrats "have absolutely no ahow of
. electing the Judge. This will be done as
an Indication that th democrats are for
a nonpartisan Judiciary, provided that
Judge Sullivan Is elected supreme Judge.
It Is said here by those who coma In to
talk politics that the action of the demo
crat! at Nebraska City wlir be followed by
them In every district In the state where
th democrats have no show of election,
but only In those districts. The scheme
'was hatched out by the knowing one to
draw votes to Judge Sullivan, but Its cover
ing wa too thin to hide Ita insincerity.
In the meantime the republican commit
tee officer are keeping busy working along
organisation lines and the news from over
the state Is that much Interest 1 being
taken In the campaign. A number of poli
tician were here thla week and were at
the headquarter, but these cam mostly
to attend the fair, and except to report at
the room did little else. Poll book have
been mailed out and .the work la being done
systematically to get out a good vote. ,

Tuesday the board met and authorised
Mr. Follmer to proceed a he pleased to
settle the cases. Two day later thla ae
tlon wa rescinded and he was given Mr.
Prout to help him and advise him. On all
occasion when the Boyd county matter
came up before the board. It Is said. Prout
and Follmer have always clashed and It
wa dua to this that Follmer did not want
th attorney general to look after hi In
terests. In explaining the action of the board
Governor Mickey said suit hsd been
brought against Mr. Follmer personally
and that of course he could employ hi own
counsel, and that the state would be rep
resented by Mr. Prout. The board has
been squabbling over the matter for some
time and It I by no mean settled. Th
vote to rescind the action of the board
stood, Mickey, Marsh and Prout for, and
Mortenaen and Follmer against.

had caught In a seine and waa selling.
Special Deputy Sears arrested the man and
took) htm before a Justloe of the peace. The
man waa allowed to plead gtirlty to having

isfied the dignity of th law. Monday Mr.
Carter will go to North Flatt to prosecute
three men named Marcott, Roman and Van
Doran for shooting prairie chicken.

All state fair visitors have gone te their

now compiled it Is estimated that 'about
$7,009 waa cleared by the management.
