Bonnil to Have Fusion.
The democratic committee of Custer
county will have its way and the
voters of that county will have fusion
whether they want It or not. In the su
preme court this afternoon the case was
argued. In which the committee wants a
mandamus to compel the county clerk to
place the democratic nominees for county
offices and for the legislature on the ticket
as fuslonists.
Some time ago the democrats held their
county convention and nominated this
ticket: W. B. Eaatham for the senate; C.
Mackay and M. 8. Eddy for the house of
representatives, and R. Q. Moore for
county attorney. The populistB In their
oounty convention nominated this ticket:
James McLaln for atate senator; F. C.
Holliday and John Murray for the house
of representatives, and A. P. Johnson for
county attorney.
Last Friday all four of the democrats
filed their resignation with the county
clerk and asked that their names be left
off the ticket. The next morning Mackay
withdrew his resignation, and asked that
he be put on the ticket. Then the demo
cratic committee got together and endorsed
the populists and asked that they go on the
ticket as the regular democratic nomi
nees together with the name of Mackay.
The county clerk refused to consider the
resignations because they were not filed
with, the clerk twelve daya before election.
Then the mandamus was asked for.
After listening to arguments most of the
afternoon tho supreme court granted the
mandamus prayed, for by the democratic
committee of Custer county and the popu
list nominees for the leglflature and comity
attorney will go on the ticket aa the dem
ocratic nominees. The argument of the
county clerk, who refused to pla.e the
names on the ticket aa requested, was
that the democratic nominees had i.ot re
signed twelve days before the eLctlon, aa
tpeclfled In the atatulea.
The supremo court upheld tho derision of
the lower court In the Hugh McCaffrsy
paving case.
It evokes Haloon License.
Of much Interest to saloon men of.
Omaha Is the decision handed down by
the supreme court tonight, holding that
the Board of Fire and Police commlsetonera
erred In granting a license to Fred Krug
and reversing the decision of the lower
court, which upheld the pullc board. The
court ordered the licence canceled. It waa
proved to the atlafacton of thi court,
the opinion holds, that1 the llcimj ai
granted to a third party who had no In
terest In the saloon and that this action la
not legal. A licence, the court holds. Is In
the nature of a personl responsibility and
should only be given to the party who la
tha real party interested.
Senator Dietrich Confident.
Senator Charka II. Dietrich of Hastings
waa In Lincoln Ut night and ha expressed
himself aa being satisfied of republican
success all along the line In Nebraska at
tha coming election. "I feel sure." he said,
"that the republicans will hava control of
the legislature with a . majority on Joint
session as large aa two years ago. Thar
were many districts two years ago that
were carried by the f unionists by small
majorities and this year we have Just as
much chance to carry those districts as
fie fuslonists have to carry those districts
that were republican wo years ago by small
majorities. I feel oertaln of the election
of Governor Mickey. He should be re
elected. There is nothing in his admin
istration that will furnish an excuse for
turning him down. He has made a good
business governor and while there has been
some opposition to him on personal
grounds. 1 am sure sentiment has turned
In his favor during the las: few days to a
great extent. Republicans havo nothing to
feur this year if they will Just go to the
pulls and vote."
Larue Water Receipts.
The water collections for October, Just
now turned Into, the city treasury,
amounted to $11,770.12, the largest amount
ever collected In any one month. More
than $11,000 of this was for water rentals.
During the last month a special effort
was made to collect back rentals and this
has accounted for the large Increase over
previous months.
Miss Houston Urts Place.
Miss Alice Mae Houston of Lincoln was
appointed assistant state librarian this aft
ernoon by the supreme court. Miss Hous
ton was employed as a stenographer by
the last legislature. The list of applicants
was large. Tne position pays $900 a year
salary.
Ruling; on Tax Case.
In his opinion in the Nemaha county tax
case, which waa decided some weeks ago
adverely to the relators and filed tonight.
Judge Holcomb announced In speaking of
the claim that money had been over-valuel
by the addition of the per cent specified
by the State Board of Equalization that
the court did nut determine whether a
court of equity would grant relief from
such over-valuation. The concluding para
graph of his syllabus Is as follows:
Such an assessment of money at its legal
value and an order of increase in the value
of all property of the county, including
auch money, can at most alfect only the
one item of property that la assessed In the
first instance at its face value.
Whether a court of equity would grant
relief from such valuation is not dtter-
mined. In no event will an injunction lie
until taxes legally uue on sucn assessment
are paid or tendered.
Warrant Is Held I p.
The Bittillthlc company will not be able
to rash the warrant payable to Its order

TWO MACS HAVE IT OUT AT PEXUER
Lively Time at the Joint Debate of
Third District Candidates.
PENDER. Neb.. Nov. 2. (Special Tele
gram.) The McCarthy-McKlllip debate,
about which so much has been said of late,
occurred here tonight. A mixed audience
of about 600 people waa present. The de
bate was arranged so as to give McCarthy
the opening speech of one hour's length.
McKilllp followed for an hour and a quar
ter and McCarthy closed with fifteen mln
uUm. The debate was a hot one from start
to finish. McCarthy put his opponent on
the defensive by asking him whether he
waa In favor of free silver or the gold
standard, whether he was supporting
Parker or Watsun and similar questions
which it was Impossible for him to answer
to the satisfaction of both Parkerltes and
Bryanltes. He also took up the tariff ques
tion and showed that the tariff was not
the mother of trusts by citing the Stand
ard OH and other trusts which thrive with
out protection.
In McKllllp's reply he said that he was
going to vote for Parker for president and
Berge for governor, but did not say whether
he was in favor of free silver or the gold
standard. He dodged that question by say
ing that tha money supply had been in
creased by reason of new discoveries of
gold. He also asked McCarthy if he was
In favor of a taniff on lumber, und if not
how he could defend a tariff on nails and
farm machinery. He also said McCarthy
could not defend the acquisition of the
Philippines.
In his closing address Mr. McCarthy said
in regard to the tariff on lumber he was
opposed to It for the reason that the price
of lumber is going up and our forests are
being exhausted. As regards to the tariff
on nails and farm machinery, he was In
favor of It, because prices were going down.
He defended the acquisition of the Philip
pines on the ground that Bryan hud
favored the treaty by which they camo
Into our possession and there was no honor
able way of getting rid of them.
McCarthy easily had the better of his
opponent from start to finish. He answered
every question put to him and made a
masterly, presentation of the republican
argument. It is the general opinion that
he made recruits from the fusion ranks
and the statement of the fuslonists that
he was afraid to meet thoir man will never

For Camp and Picnic
Whether off for a vacation in camp, v
or on a day's picnic, a supply of good
butter adds enjoyment to the outing.
Campers and picnickers know hov
difficult it is to keep butter clean, and
safe from dust and insects, as well as tc
protect it from the odor of other food.'
Meadow Gold Butter is a perfect butter for camp and picnic. First, because it
is a pure, wholesome and delicious product; and second, because it is sealed at
the creamery m airtight packages
whi' h keep it fresh and clean until
the last morsel is eaten. It keeps
hard and firm under conditions which
melt ordinary butter. Try it to-day,
and take a supply on your next
outing.
