LINCOLN, Dec. 27. (Special.) Around
Lincoln these days considerable talking In
rbolrirT done regarding politlcul natters a,nd
.several conversation slutes have been made
fop the next republican state ticket. Some
talking litis been done also as to the ne
'Ccaslty of holding: two conventions. No
tone, however, seems to care whether one
'or two convention are held and so far
as any public expressions are concerned
no one had said.
' Senator Marshall of Otoe county was h'?re
Saturday and had an extended confer jnce
'with Addison Walt, who wanta to succeed
his chief In the offlre of the secretary of
atate. The Otoe statesman said little wus
doing tn the political line, but It is gener
ally accepted here that he will wlwnp
things up for Walt, the two being from the
same county.
At least three' of the deputies now hold
Ing forth at the Btate house will be candl
dates to succeed their chiefs. These are
Norrls Brown, deputy attorney general,
a T.. M . 1 .. ......,.. 1 T w lntn rianittir
land commissioner, from Dodge county, and
J. 1m McBrlen, deputy superintendent, from
Fillmore county. Bo far as heard of here
Brown has -no opposition and Ms friends
and promotera are urging his candidacy
as a representative 6f the middle west sec
tion of the state.
MeBrlen, though, If the reports eurrent
here have any foundation, will have some
opposition. Among those mentioned to op
pose him for Mr. Fowler's shoes are: W.
H. Gardner of Jfemnha, Jamos E. Delzell
of Dawson and J. E., French of Adams
county,
Bo far as heard from, Eaton will be op
posed by f x-Senator Manning, who was
postmaster of the senate during the late
legislature, who halls from the northeast
section of the state. Those who are urging
the 'candidacy ' of "Eaton are claiming for
mm mnar nr ine nrmut irjr 1110 wuia uuiio
under Land Commissioner Follmcr.
Norrls Brown and McBrlen ere also run
nlng on their records as deputies and out
at Oeneva Jhe papers have already begun
to boost the- latter. i
Last night the Traveling Men's Repub
lican club endorsed J. M. O'Neal of Lan
caster county for state auditor and of
course he will be a candidate for tht place.
Thore Is some talk that Arthur B. Allen
of Johnson county, secretary to the gov
ernor, will be a candidate for this place,
but so far Mr. Allen haa given out no state
ment regarding the matter. Bocretary
Marsh, who comes from Richardson county,
haa also been mentioned for this place, but
It Is not likely that he will be a candidate.
To succeed Bocretary of State Marsh
there are several candidates, among them
F. 3. Badllek of Saline county and A. V.
Ollmore, now employed at the asylum, hav
ing been appointed from Pawnee county.
Several Jays age- a son of C. Duraa of
Ballrle county was at the state house, dis
cussing Ma father's chances for the secre
taryshlp. Of course Governor Mickey and
Treasurer Mortensen will be candidates to
succeed, themselves.
Location Cats Figure.
In considering the chancea of candidates.
location necessarily will cut some figure.
It would.be out of the ordinary Jn - pon
tics to nominate a secretary dt state,
state superintendent and an auditor from
adjoining counties. Walt and Ollmore,
both candidate for seeretniy of atate.
come from adjoining counties which are
also Joined to the counties of Allen, Marsh
and Gardner. Therefore It. will be up to
some of these men to lose out. McBrlen
and fiadtlek are In adjoining counties.
separated from the five men mentioned
by the width of one county. Adams
county, from which French halls, Is sep
arated from McBrlen's county by Clny,
1 hen comes Norrls Brown's Buffalo county
adjoining Dalxell's Dawson county. Eaton
Is away off from the other candidates In
. Dodge county, with Manning considerably
northwest of Mm. This leaves the ex
treme west, now represented by Auditor
Weston, out In - the cold and It is thu
general talk that someone from that sec
' tlon of the stato will come ' up, or pos
slbly Omaha might with every .hope of
success demand some recognition.
In the meantime a clerk of the supreme
court In yet to be named and there Is
much speculation as to who the lucky
man will ' be. Every candidate Is claim
lng the place and apparently no one knowi
Just who will get It. During the last few
days the stock of Will Rose of the at-
torney general's office went 'up several
notches, but the stock of the various can
dtdates fluctuates worse than cotton, and
as the Judges are not saying anything It
Is useless to speculate.
' Teachers Are Arriving.
Now that the festivities of Christmas
are over, Lincoln la beginning again to
put on gala attire to welcome the small
army of teachers that will throng the city
this week. Already the advance guard
' Is beginning to arrive, and within two days
the hotels, private boarding houses and
homes, of friends will be thronged with
choolma'ams. Lincoln Is preparing to
welcome and care for fully 2,600 teachers
and present indications to to show that
this number will not far exceed the
actual attendance. Among the recent ar
rivals are: Principal F. W. Deffer of 'St.
Edward, Principal 8, IK Thompson of
Nelson, Principal R, M. Thompson of
Ravenna, Principal W. II. Manifold of
Vlysses, Principal D. 8. Mussleman of
Auburn. Principal W. C. Green of Cozad,
Prlnrlpul J. J. Koasler of Ilartlngton and
Prtnelpal Oeorg Burget of Kearney. All
are enthusiastic over , the coming meeting
and report large delegations from their
towns and counties. From Nelson. Prin
cipal Thompson brings the word that all
of the touchers will attend the state meet
ing and he says that a large delegation
ts planning to attend from Nuckolls county.
From Boone county, Principal Differ says,
Lincoln will have the largest delegation
in tho hlntory at the association. ,

In past years some difficulty haa been
experienced by teachers in securing rates
uver the lines of the Omaha road. Bo this
year, In responao to a letter from the prln
dl.il of the schools at Pouci, stating th:it
the agent at that point had not received
Instructions to sell reduced fare tickets tl
Llnc-vln, ft letter setting forth' the case wus
sent to tho passenger department of the
rosd at St. Paul. The following reply to
tho letter mentioned seems to clear the
matter sr.d to Insure the reduced fare over
that road:
Dear Fir: Tour letter of the IHth Inst. In
regard to reduced rates to Lincoln for the
annual meeting of the Nebraska State
Teachers' association hss been referred to
me. We have this day written to our
agent at Ponca s to the rates and ar
rangements, and I trut that members of
your association deplrlng to secure tickets
from that point will not experience any
trouble In securing them, as all of our
saents In Nebraska have been fully In
structed.
Teachers who live along the line of that
road are requested to write Immediately
or wire W. L. Stephens, chairman of the
local committee, Lincoln, In case their
railroad agents refuse to sell state asocla
tlon tickets, as per the above announce
ment Politics of Session.
It Is rumored that politics will add con
siderable Interest to the sessions of the
association. There are three members of
the Reading Circle board to elect, and then
the usual friendly contest over the oftVe
of president. Last year the contest over
the office of president wan unusually free
from any strife or bitterness, and as far
as can be seen now this year will follow
closely the precedent established last year,
There is some talk among the members
of the executive committee about a reduc
tlon In the number of members on that
committee. .The expense Incident to each
meeting of the committee seems to be the
ruling motive. Borne urge that three mem
bers could easily do the work now done
by a committee of five. It remains to bo
seen, however, when It comes to repre
senting the various sections of the state,
whether a reduction In the number of of
ficers would be advisable.
Arrangements may be made for boarl

houses at reasonable rates. Teachers de
siring to engage rooms In advance must

HELD TO BE CASE OF SUICIDE

Man Fonnd Near Papillitis

FA PILLION, Neb., Dec. S7.-(Ppeclal Tele
gram.) After an Investigation lasting sev
eral days the authorities have come to the
conclusion thnt John Nelson, the man found
dead in tho woods along the riat,te river,
had committed suicide. He was found hang
ing to a limb of a tree by his neck with his
feef" upon the ground, a gash had been cut
in his throat extending from ear to car
and almost severing his head, making a
horrible woend. A bullet had been shot
entirely through his Tiead, coming out near
the temple and the man's wrist was shat
tered from a revolver shot. Strychnine In
large quantities was found In Nelson's
stomach, which alone is considered enough
cvtdenco that the man committed sulctdo.
No Inqueat was held.
In answer to a dispatch to Nelson's
brother In Racine, Wis., orders were given
to decently bury the body, which was done.
A letter also stated that Nelson had long
been dtrnented and had often said he would
commit suicide as soon as his nerve would
permit.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27. In reviewing he
year's work of the United States army In
the Department of tbe Lakes, Major John
C. Bates, commander of the northern 01-
vlslon, says that the character and ap
pearance of recruits is not up to the stan
dard of those of former years, the num
ber of undeveloped youths being especially
noticeable.
According to the report, the "baby blue"
facings for Infantry Is unpopular, and with
out exception Is opposed by all Infantry
officers, and a return to the white facings
is universally deslrod, as is also tho reten
tion of the officers' blue overcoats In lieu
of the new olive drab overcoat. The gen
eral mess system In operation throughout
the department Is declared unsatisfactory,
and a return to company mess system is
recommended.
In discussing the need of a military
prison, which the report declares has been
fully demonstrated. General Bates says:
The post guardhouses have been over
crowded, although under Instructions from
superior authority I have released many
prisoners where. In my Judgment, such ac
tion was not likely to be detrimental to I
'discipline, and, In some eases, 1 am afraid
I have exceeded .tnat limit In efforts to re
duce the number of prisoners.
Furthermore, I think It a bad effect on
the young soldier entering the service to
have constantly before his eyes those old
soldiers serving long septences, and that
It would be in the interest of discipline
to send oil men under sentence of a year
or more away from the post to a military
prison.
The roster of the department contains the
names of Iu2 commanding officers and 2,764
enlisted men. In the period covered by tho
report there were 357 enllstud men tried
by general court-martial, this being an In
crease of 23 over last year. Of the 307
men tried, 842 were convicted.

GOES FOR BODY OF SMITHSON
Remains of Fonndrr of Smithsonian
Institution to Be Brought
to America,
GENOA, Dec. 27. Dr. Alexander Gra
ham Bell, inventor of the telephone, has
arrived here. Ho will convey to the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington, D. C,
the remains of James Stnlthson, founder
of the institution, who died in Genoa in
1829.
WASHINGTON, Deo. 27.-U is said here
that the reason for the removal at this
time of the body of the founder ot the
Smithsonian Institution from Genoa to this
country Is because a stone quarry has en
crouched on the English cemetery at Genoa
to such an extent that it has become neces
sary to remove the remains Interred there.
Mr. Bell left this country a little more
than a week ago. Congress has made no
appropriation for the removal of Mr.
Smlthson's remains to this country, and It
could not be learned, tonight, on account
of the absenoe of Prof. Langley from the
city, whether the regents of the Smith
sonian had voted money for this purpose
or Mr. Bell was acting on his own initia
tive. The matter had been discussed in
local scientific circles, where the opinion
prevails that the grounds of the institution
in this city are the proper site for thoir
final resting place.

FEAR BOY HAS BEEN MURDERED
Dlsappeara July and Kothlnsr Has
Been Vera or Heard of Him
Viae.
FREMONT. Neb.. Dec. 27. (Special.)
Reluttyes of George Vascalda, a young
farm hand formerly employed at the ranch
of Mark M. Coad, east of tne city, report
that be has been missing for nearly six
months, and from certain circumstances
connected with his disappearance they are
fearful that he has been murdered.
H. A. Vescalda of Topeka, Kan., the
young mans fathef. has arrived In Fre
mont to search for his son. He has en
listed the services of Sheriff Bauman in
that mission, and the sheriff would like
to get bold of any Information which
would tbrou' light on the case. 80 far
absolutely nothing ' Is kisiwn. moro than
that young Vascalda olaAppeured on July
L anil lias not Iwn aten since. ,
On the date mentioned, Vascalda cult
work at the Coad farm( and drew the
wages dua him, which amounted to $42.30,
He wrote home that he was going back
there soon, but when several weeks passed
by and he did not come, his parents ad
dressed a letter to him here, asking whst
detained him. No r-ply was received, and
they wrote again. Both letters were sub
sequently returned to Topeka, with the
information that Vascalda no longer called
for his mall here. -
A team, wagon and outfit of harness
owned by the young msn were left at Ba
ker, Neb., while he was working here. He
had written to that place that he would
sojn come to .get tbew. but he has never
done so.
Vascalda had nearly $&0 in his possession
when he was last seen. It Is not incon
ceivable that' he may hive fallen in with
companions who murdered him for the
money. Men have been killed for smaller
amounts than fW, and it will be remem
bered that robberies of one kind and an
other have been frequent In this part Of
the slate during the last year.
The relatives of the ni liming man and
those who knew him here describe, him as

he saw had the slightest effect of drawing
out the least expression of admiration.
Weeks and weeks passed, and the rest of
the party were dumbfounded at his lack
of appreciation of the sights which met
them on all sides. Finally It was decided
to send a committee of four, two gentle
men and two ladles, to his room and in

of the trip.
" 'Old man,' said one of ths committee,

PITTBBURO, Dec. 27. A decision has
been reached by the flint glass manufac
turers to close all bottle factories shortly
after January 1 for four weeks in order to
curtail production and better enable the

this decision has caused consternation In I

there would bo no cessation of the indus

agreement, it Is said, covrrs all the mem
