LINCOLN, Au. 8 (Special.) Should the
twpullRt state convention, which niMti here
next Wednesday, endorse a man or nomi
nate a man who refuses to say that he
will not vote for Farker and Davis an
attempt will be made by a number of
poptilleta to bolt the convention and nomi
nate a straight ticket, falling In that,
28,0(iO of them will remain at home on elec
tion day and refuse to vote. On this
proposition T. II. Tibbies, the vice presi
dential nominee on the populist ticket, said:
. "No man who will not come out publicly
and say he Is against Parker and against
Roosevelt can secure a place on the popu
list ticket. If he does secure a place there
will be a bolt or 20,000 or 30,000 populists
will not vote In the coming election. I
have snid this before and that I am correct
Is proven by a number of letters received
from prominent populists out In the state
by Mr. De France and by me."
. Dr. P. L Hall, chairman of the demo
cratic state committee, does not apprehend
such dire calamities should a Parker demo
crat get on the populist 'ticket. He said:
"I believe Mi at the two parties will get
together and that there wilt be no occasion
for a bolt or for any 'populist staying at
home. While, of course, there are many
extremists In each party, the wiser counsel
will prevail and a ticket satisfactory to all
will be put together."
Both men expressed doubt as to the
likelihood of Judge Holcomb securing the
gubernatorial nomination and Mr. Tibbies
announced positively that Senator Allen
would not accept the nomination. Dr. Hall
is of the opinion that If the candidate Is
elected from the democratic end of the
aggregation W. H. Thompson or ex-Congressman
Shallenbargcr will be named,
while If he Is selected from among the
populists Judge Westover, G. W. Berge or
i x-Congressman Sutherland will be ths
(Sacrifice., ,
. Thompson la Willing;. .
It Is told now on what Is considered most
reliable authority that Mr. Thompson will
accept the nomination If It is tendered to
him In. the proper manner. Just what la
the "proper" manner Is not clear, but It Is
supposed to be the unanimous action of
both parties.
, The mid-road populists ore dead set
against Judge Holcomb, while at the same
' time they are saying that he made a most
excellent executive. They have Informa
tion that Colonol J. H. Ager, the Burling
ton lobbyist and political pusher, has been
out In the state for some time setting up
Jilns for the Judge, and whether the In
formation the populists have Is correct or
not, It hft certainly set them against Hol
comb as muoh as anything could. Some
friends of Governor Mlukey, however, fear
the nomination of Governor Boyd of Omaha
more than they do of Holcomb or any of
those mentioned for the place.
Today the name ofWUl Maupln, who Is
connected, with Bryan's Commoner, was
sprung for lieutenant governor. Maupln
just now is running a labor paper, and It
Is; tfidnght ,by"tose',"wh,6 afe fathering his
boom that' h would get a good sized labor
vote. The big leaders In the party, how
ever, believe that Maupln Is too light
weight to get In the running.
The populist committee has secured the
Hagenow band to help out on the enthusi
asm, and the aong written by T. H. Tibbies
will be one of the numbers played. It will
be sun by Mrs. Barrls, a daughter of
the vice presidential nominee. The band
was secured out of respect to Mr. Watson,
who is fond of music, having four pianos
in his own home. The band will play only
popular pieces. None of the delegates has
arrived yet, but by tomorrow evening It la
supposed enough of them will have come
In to mix the medicine In a satisfactory
manner.
Democrats Are Scare.
Tonight ' only Jim Dahlman, national
committeeman, and Colonel Hayward of
. Chadron from out of town had gathered
In to prepare for the fracas. Mr. Dahlman
expressed himself" as being sure it would
be no trouble for the two parties to get
together, but he was unable to say upon
what basis. .
One Parker democrat, who usually knows
what he is talking about, said the demo
crats would be willing to sacrifice the na
tional electors In order to bring about
fusion on the state and legislative tickets.
The democrats, he said, would demand
that Holcomb be the nominee for governor
oa this basis. He felt confident this would
be the program. That a big fight la In
atore, however, there la little doubt, as
there la much - feeling between the Parker
democrats and the populists, exemplified
in the Holt county convention held Satur
day at O'Neill. . In the democratic conven
tion Jack Harrington, the mayor, a brother
of Judge and M. P. Harrington, was un
seated on a contest with D. A. Doyle, who
was a postmaster under Cleveland. Har
rington had been seated by the credentials
committee and the charge against him
was that he had called a snap convention.
Another Instance that will not serve to
,unlte the parties occurred to Judge Har
rington when he went to notify the demo
cratic convention what the populists had
done. As be went into the hall someone
mentioned the name of Parker, whioh waa
heered. Judge Harrington Is quoted aa
saying!

BONESTEEL, S. D., Aug. 8. (Speclal.)
Upon arrival at the townslte of Gregory
this morning It was found that a lnrgo
number of "sooners" had taken possession,
a,nd with the evident Intention of holding
the townslte by force, had built barbed
wire fences around the lots,' having had
same surveyed by three surveyors whom
they had taken, out last week and who
had surveyed and platted the townslte. It
Is said that they have made the statement
that they intended to hold the locations
they have selected by force, If need bo,
and the result will be a townslte war, and
bloodshed la expected.
There cannot possibly be more than two
good towns and the fight for supremacy
and later for the county seat will be very
bitter, no doubt, although at the town of
Burke' every effort is being made to pre
serve law and order, with good success.
Burke la much nearer the geographical
center of the reservation, but it Is under
stood that the holders of Nos. 1, t, I and 4
will locate adjoining Gregory, and Judge
Adams of Lawton, Okla., Colonel James
of Lenlxa, Kan., and Charley Lamb of
Lawton, Okla., immigration agent for the
'Frisco system, are., using their Influence
for the town of Gregory.
At the town of Burke there were very
few "sooners," and what few there was
have been Induced to Join the townslte
organization by paying $1 to the promoter,
C, J. Conner, who has very good control
over his company and expects to get
everyone located in an amicable manner
by placing all names In 'envelopes and
drawing for location as soon as the slto
has been surveyed and platted.
Already business locutions are being
planned for and lumber will be hauled to
the new town at once and business places
put In operation at the earliest possible
date. The organization, of which C. J.
Conner is the head. Is on the ground and
Is harmonloua as a whole and will no doubt
keep down all lawlessness. The method
of drawing for location Is the only way
possible to locate so large a body of claim
ants without trouble and thjs will be the
method used at the townslte of Burke.

COAL RATE TRUST BROKEN
Discriminating Tariff's Against Omaha
Menaced by Northwestern! Return,
LATTER ROAD COMES TO OLD SCHEDULE
General Belief Is Other Lines Will
De Compelled' to Give in sad
Lift Embargo from Oat
City.
:'H
It begins to look very much as If Otnaml
had won ltd fight against the discrimina
tion of the railroads in favor of Kansas
City, Bt, Joseph and even Council Bluffs
on coal rates. There Is a break In tho
ranks of the railroads and the Indications
are strongly In favor of a. disruption of
the concert that has existed between ths
various roads. '
Omaha has protested vigorously, through
the Commercial club and through ths con
sumers and uellers of steam ooal. Ths be
ginning of the end of the fight became ap
parent yesterday afternoon when the Chi
cago A Northwestern let out a schedule
restoring the old rates on Iowa steaming
coal 11.18 a ton .to Lincoln; In the group
ing of the various points under tariff rates
Omaha is entitled to a It-cent differential
rate against Lincoln and this means a re
turn to the $1.01 rate by the Northwestern
on coal to this city.
Both the Burlington and Missouri Pacific
are charging $1.30 to Lincoln aril $1.11 to
Omaha. They will have to meet the North
western rate or lose a large part of their
business. The Burlington charges $1 16 to
Omaha and $1.30 to Lincoln on the same
coal that the Northwestern ia going to
bring In for $1.01 and $1.16.
The new Northwestern rate sheet which
was circulated around town yesterday and
which goes Into effect next Monday, quotes
the $1.16 rate to Lincoln, carrying with It
the understanding of a $1.01 rate to Omaha.
Will Force Flnnl Hetnra.
"Coal from Kansas and Missouri mines
Is considered of a better JVmlity," said
one dealer, "than that of the Jowa mines,
but I am of the opinion that the competing
roads will have to go beck to the old
tariff in order to hold trade, as the con
sumers will, In my opinion, take the Iowa
coal at the cheaper rate In preference to
lending their aid to the efforts of these '
roads to Injure our city by discriminations
that are unjust and palpably wrong."
"Of course," continued the same dealer,
this fight Is not won, but it looks very
much as If the Northwestem's action was
the opening wedge, that would split ths
combination and force a return to exist
ing rates before August 1. If they had
calmly allowed this Imposition they woul1
have had no relief."
"The cas was actually - so bad," said
another dealer, "that something had to be
done. Omaha consumers could not hare
stood the unjust handicap of 60 to SO cents
a ton on steam coal. It was too much of
a good thing for Kansas City, St. Joseph,
and even Council Bluffs. The Bee ia
fighting for this city also has fought Lin
coln's battles. The united fight of sli In
terests was a notification to the railroads
that relief was expected .and unless it
waa forthcoming the parties In Interest .
either would Invoke aid from some other '
source or help themselves never calmly
submit to unjust discrimination." "
