FonUneUei Bg Money for Their
Sheriff Candidate.
Touennra committee sent out
SollrMora Are) Trylaar to Oet Same
Cash for tha Exeletalve- Bene
flt of This On Hon
oa Ticket.
A "touching" committee has been mak
ing the rounds of some of the business men
to raise money for the candidate for sher
iff, endorsed by the FontaneDe machine,
the funds to be put in a private purse for
hla benefit to the exclusion of the other
candidates on the Fontanelle ticket. The
scheme haa leaked out and Is not calculated
to maintain the best of feeling among the
Fontanelle bravee, who are convinced that
the man they picked for sheriff on the out
side Is working for himself alone and not
trotting square with hla associates.
"We made tha mistake of our lives," ad
mitted one of the Fontanelle governors at
the McKlnley club dinner, "In fixing up
our slate. Wa ought to have stayed with
the members of our own club who have
claims upon us and stopped there. The re
sult la that wa have loaded down our own
friends with several dead weights. Tou
may be aura we won't make that mistake
a second time." "
Emmett O. Solomon would come as near
being the Ideal county comptroller aa any
one could come. He knowa how the busi
ness of every office In the county court
house ought to be handled, so far as re
ceipts and expendlturea go, and he Is tha
best posted man on oounty finances In the
county.
If all the dogs In Douglas county could
only vote, M. J. Greevey Is sure he would
be the next county sssessor; He Is telling
around how he went to the front for tho
persecuted canines when . Mayor "Jim"
tried to cage them behind wire masks, and
that the publicity thus acquired Is sure to
make him tha unanimous choice of every
one who was mulcted for the price of a
dog ntussle.
The sentiments of a man's closest asso
ciates sometimes speaks volumes. Over at
the court house where "Bob" Smith haa
been entrenched for two or three years
there Is not a man with a single word to
say In his favor outside of one Janitor,
two eounty commissioners and two or
three employe in Smith' own office.
' Frank A. Furay Is finding friends In un
expected placee In his preliminary canya
for the republican nomination for county
treasurer. He used to work In the office
of Cudahy's packing plant and eame In
contact with a large number of South
Omaha people, who are now remembering
him with boosts that count.
"Tea didn't get that quite right about
Tony" Donahoe being grand marshal of
the Labor day parade." explains labor
union man. "He Is not to be grand mar
shal, but only chief aide to the grand mar
shal, but he will be at the front just tint
same. But wait, till next year, after he H
elected sheriff and we'll make Mm ' grand
marshal. A Labor day parade behind
Sheriff Donahoe as the leader of the host
would be great. I guess that would makn
the bloated capitalists sit up and take
notice- , r
After an office, but not even a legal
voter. That la the predicament . A. G.
Edwards, who wants the republican nomi
nation for county treastfrwiTfound himself
In. Only last Saturday Mr. Edwards se
cured aa affidavit of registration which h
hope will cure the defeot.- tt happens
that In May. 1905. Mr. Edwards filed on n
1(0-acre homestead In Deuel county, mak
ing the ususl affidavit which bound him
to take up his residence there. By ..this
he relinquished his residence ta Omaha,
although he did not moveto Deuel county
as he promised. A few months ago objec
tions from his family and a contest over
tha homestead caused him to forfeit his
claim on It. Mr. Edwards la going on the
theory that relinquishment of . his home
stead claim re-establishes hla residence in
Omaha, because he did not actually leave
here, though his legal residence waa Deuel
county. He did not register last fall. Con
sequently, though a candidate for. office, he
found himself unable to vote at the pri
mary at which he sought the nomination
without being specially registered by the
city clerk.

Incidentally they are visiting with their
fellow pioneer of Otho, Mr. C. H. Payne,
who now makes his home with his son.
The party constltutea the survivors of a
colony of Congregational church people
who settled at Otho fifty-three year ago.
The colony built a church at Otho Imme
diately after settling there and also a col
lege. Thfc men ell entered the aervlce of
the union army during the war of the re
bellion, completing their terms of service
with honor, and then returned to their
homes. All of them are pious. God-fearing
people and are still aealously devoted

who met them at tha station with automo
biles and took them at once to Gray Rocks.
The expenses of the entire party are paid
by Mr. Payne.
An Interesting Incident connected with
the country home of Mr. and Mrs. Payne,
Gray Rocks, Is that the house is built of
boulders and stones brought from their
old home at Otho, la. The house was built
last year.
HIGHER RESPECT FOR ARMY
This, Bays General Godfrey, Is
Heeded Today Than Bat
tar rood.
More
Disclaiming that army rations are In
adequate, Brigadier General E. 8. God
frey, in temporary command of the Depart
mentof the Missouri on arrival Thursday
morning from the south, said he thought
mo,t essential need of the army today
was a nigner respect tor me umrorm ana
flag Instead of better and more food.
"We will be busy for several days getting
ready for the military tournament at St.
Joseph, In which, a number of the regular
army organisations will take part," said
the general. "Adjutant General Noyes Is
now preparing a list of the events In which
the regulsr troops will participate. The
question of securing sufficient recruits for
the army Is becoming an Interesting one
snd I am glad to hear from The Bee that
there la a alight Improvement In the num
ber of applications at the Omaha recruiting
station.
"My observations, based upon close asso
ciation with large bodies of troops at Fort
Riley and elsewhere do not coincide with
the proposition that' there Is just cause
for complaint for the quantity or
quality of food furnished the regulsr army.
If there Is any fault of Inadequate food
trfat fault must lie with the company
kitchen and not with the commissary de
partment Only the very best grades cf
food are purchased for army uses, and
that, too. In sufficient quantities and varie
ties to supply every reasonable and
requisite demand., - i ,
"What la needed for the improvement of
the army la a higher respect for the army
uniform. In times of peril the uniform cf
a soldier commands the highest' respect.
The profession of arms Is an honorable
one and the misconduct of a fow men who
may disgrace the uniform of a soldier
should not condemn the entire army. In
asmuch as tha uniform of a soldier Is
looked uf on with respect and reverenoe In
times of war, so should It be regarded In
times of peace."

Three new 200 horse-power care No. 10,

cut of Denver, Colo. This Union Pacific
delgn of motor car engine on No. 12
tested out with a hydraulic brake test of
500 revolutions at 260 horse-power.
These .cars alt run sixty miles an hour
and some sixty-five snd seventy miles. The
endurance test of motor car No. 12 en
route ta Denver August 22 was one of the
severest and was the most successful trip
ever made under gasoline power The car
had only made two short trial trips and
made the run to Denver from Omaha, a
distance of 668 miles. In sixteen hours and
thirty-four minutes. The Overland Lim
ited train's time Is seventeen hours fifteen
minutes. Running as second section of the
Limited the csr suffered considerable delay.
Etlmlnatlng all these delays, the car av

On July 29 the motor car was tested out,

Cars Seat Away froaa Here.
Much comment has been passed on the
policy of the Unloq Pacific In sending so
many of these cars away from this section.
Omaha people had hoped they might be
able to derive some benefit from them by
having them In service nearer home.
The Union Pacific has compiled figures
to show the most satisfactory work which
Is being done by the motor cars In opera
tion in Kansas and Nebraska. The statis
tics show the success of the cars during
the month of July on the lines between
Kearney and Callaway, Beatrice and Lin
coin, St. Paul and Loup City, and Leaven
worth and Lawrence. The cars made a
total of 207 tripe, on which they made
schedule time 16 times, Including seven
times when they left initial points late
and arrived at destination on time. They
carried 8,639 passengers and ran .Wt miles.
Beaker of Information.
A seeker after Information regarding

Union Pacific office in Omaha. The letter
Is Interesting because of Its straightfor

simpering grafter M this. Hs writes In a
stralghtforwsrd manner and says what
he means. He Is a man who prides him
self In the fact that he pay for what he
get. The letter followa: ,
Agent Union Paclflo, Omaha: Could you
sell a homeseekers' excursion ticket to the
Pacific coast and providing that I waa not
estlsfled with my destination, could I get
the same rates to other points on your
road without delay.' and If I should need
more time than twenty-one days could I
get the time extended. , (Signed.)

can do anything for me please let me know.
Mlssoart Paclflo Raises Par.
A general Increase In the wages of all
station agents and clerks on the Missouri
Pacific system has been made. News of
the Increase was received In Omaha from
the headquarters In St. Louis Thursdsy by
Superintendent Bevlngton.
The Increaae la to take effect August 1
Because of the fact that the greater part
of the pay roll for August has already
been made out ths Increase will not be In
cluded In many of the checks for August.
It will be added to the Beptember check,
together with the regular Increase due to
be applied on that month.
The agents and clerke are the last to get
the benefit of the Increased wages on the
Missouri Pacific. Nearly all the other em
ployes have already received their Increase.
The Railway Age announce that the
contract for making Improvement costing
115,000 on the local Missouri Pacific termin
als have been let to the Blanchard Con
tracting company of Topeka, Kan. At the
local offices of the compsny nothing waa
known of this matter, though It was stated
that the engineers from St. Louis were In
the city recently looking over he situation
and making estimates with a view to this.

The large sums of money being spent on
vast electric plants In Nevada and Cali

Large reservoirs are being constructed
and a costly power line Is being completed.
Large towers will be used Instead of ths
usual poles and many thousands ot volts
of power will be brought to San Francisco
and other cities.
Four other sites for great electric plants
havs been chosen beside that In Tuolumne
county and It la said the road will be In
a position to sell a vast amount of power
beside hsvlng plenty with which to op

A denial comes from the Paclflo coast
of the statement that W. H. Bancroft, vice
president and general manager of the Ore
gon Short Line, is to resign that position
and be succeeded by E. E. Calvin, vice

Southern Pacific road. . This report of Mr.
Bancroft's resignation came following tha
recent visit ot E. H. Harrlman to the

various other chsnges would be made In

addition to other duties, had charge of judges and clerks and reglsteratlon
under both chairmen. Also served the party as first assistant secretary of the

There I fin chicken shooting on Walnut
Hill.
The tired business man can leave his
office with a gun and at the end of a
flfteen-mlnuta ride can alight and find the
game running tOft feet away from any hu
man habitation.
One can get within a few yarda of the
fowls, for they are the common or garden
variety of chickens, roosters, hens and pul
lets. They ate, moreover, the property of
the thrifty householders who live on Wsl
nut Hill, and who like fresh eggs snd tooth
some "white and dark meat." And, more
over. If the aforesaid hunter attempts to
shoot any of thn game he Is going to get
Into trouble. But the thing has been done.
And the poachers wrung the necks of the
fowls they had shot and escape!.
"I never saw anything quite ao cheeky
In my life," aaid a resident of Walnut Hill.
"Two men appeared there with ahotgun
anl shot half a doaen fat hens before sny-
one could Interfere. Then they took to their
heel a They used to rob roosts, but when
we put locks on the doors they had to
give that up."
It is pointed out thst with chickens st
the present price they are too valuable to
be allowed to run loose a hundred yards
from the house and In tall weeds.
"It's Just Ilk having dollar bills running
around oo two legs." said one man. "That's
about whst a fat nullet la worth these
dsys."
