GOVERNOR TO SHAKE TREE
Shallenberger Will Soon Designate
Favored Democratic Papers.

Yards Rate Hearing- Will Be Re.
Med Jane 8, When Mr
Witnesses Will Be Heard.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jun I. (Special.) Governor
Shallenberger will soon be ready to' des
ignate the democratic newspapers In which
the proposed constitutional amendments
tre t be published. This was formerly the
duty of the secretary of state, who pro
vides the sample ballots and attends to all
the details of getting up the copy for the
proposed amendments, but the 1st demo
cratic non-partisan legislature wanted the
sop for the democrats, so the governor was
given the job of making the selections.
Governor Shallenberger wss given the
privilege of selecting two papers in which
to publish the list of delinquent corpora
tions and he gave on list to a democratic
paper and on to an alleged republican pa
per which supported the democrats in the
1st campaign, but It Is presumed he will
give the proposed constitutional 'amend
ments to the genuine democratlo papers.
The law requires that on paper In each
county publish the amendments, so it is
probable there will be considerable of a
fight over which papers get the sop. The
price to be paid will amount probably to 1
$25 or $30. Several papers have already
notified the governor that they want the
business and the governor is now going
over the list and checking up those he de
sire to favor.
Not Roiling Sleeping Cars.
The Pullman company In an answer filed
In the county court today denied that It
Is running sleeping cars, but Insisted that
It supplies the railroads with the cars. The
answer was made to the petition filed by
Elisabeth C. Sixer, who IS suing the com
pany for $o00 for the loss of two rings
which she alleges were stolen from her
while going to California, due to the care
lessness or dishonesty of the company's
employes.
Parleying tae Pealteatlary.
Warden Smith will not stand for any
crap shooting at the state penitentiary, if
he can help it. Convicts Kelly and Waite,
both from Cheyenne county started In to
play the game of their youth, were caught
in the act and being already In prison and
having little money with which to pay
fines, thew arden simply deducted ten days
from their good time allowance. The
monthly report of the warden shows that
there are now In the prison 402 convicts. Of
these seventeen were admitted during the
month and one was returned from parole.
Eleven have been discharged, four paroled
and onep ardoned during the month. An
deraon, the negro who was recently sent
up for life for murder, had his leg ampu
tated. The total number of days lost from
work by all thee onvicts during the month
was 250.
Hearlas; to Be Resumed Jane tf.
The application of the stock yards to

and ask them the name of Omaha's foremost clothing store. A
vast majoriry will reply "King-Swanson Co." Why? Because a

a time must offer superior advantages and must attradt attention
wherever clothing matters arc discussed.
If this store has been strong enough to attract universal at

Late Thursday Night When
Three Films Explode.
NORFOLK. Neb., June .-(Speclal Tele
gram.) A packed house of women and
children at the Crystal Moving Picture
theater here waa thrown into a panlo late
last night, when three films caught fire
and exploded, setting the theater afire. A
half dosen people were slightly injured In
the stampede that followed. Escape by the
front entrance was cut off by flames that
leaped to the celling. The rear exltjs were
jammed tight with humanity several times.
Miss Cora Marquaqlt, daughter of Chief
of Police Marquardt, was picked up by a
man and hurled bodily through a rear win
dow. Lighting on the ground, she was
stepped on by a man. Miss Opal Coryell, a
Nebraska university girl, proved the
heroine of the evening. After she got out
she learned that an old woman who had
sat near her was lying on the floor Inside.
Breaking away from her company, she
rushed back Into the burning building and
rescued the aged woman. Two little chil
dren, a boy and a girl, of W. A. Klngsley,
proprietor of the Faclflo hotel, were
slightly bruised. Guests at the Pacific and
Queen City hotels in the same block began
getttng out their trunks. Several of them
were sAked by streams of water from fire
hose.
The operator of the picture machine,
Richard Baker, was unhurt, but his as
sistant, Bmll Mathew, ws.s slightly burned.
Baker was winding up reels, when films
on the floor caught fire from crossed elec
trio wires. He says seats were knocked
over, blocking the aisles.

Water Plant Talk at Wymore.
WYMORE, Neb., June 3.-(Speclal.)-At
a regular meeting of tbe city council last
night, L. II. Archard proposed for the
Beatrice Eleotric Service company to put
In two electrically operated Gould pumps
for the city water plant at a total cost of
about $3,000. The council will look into
the proposition. In the course of his re
marks Mr. Archard stated that the boiler
now in use at the station Is old and has
been used continuously for a long time
without bWng cleaned or repaired, and Is
liable to give out at any time. He also
stated that last year approximately 7.000.000
gallons of wster were pumped, the plant
working twenty-four hours a day, and
the cost per 1,000 gallons averaged S.
cents. With tho pumps and dynamos, Mr,
Archard estimates the time of pumping
would be reduced to about 126 days of
twelve hours each, and tie cost lessened
over half.
The council offered a reward of $35 for
me arrest vn conviction or any person
carrying liquor to persons to whom the
stuff had been forbidden, or to parties In
the city jail. . . .

A Story of Low
Prices and Why
Tou get that in South Omaha The
most for the least. The prices of the
Home Furniture Co. are 20 below the
prices charged In Omaha by any fur
niture house, either large or small. By
this statement we do not mean to dis
parage the high motive and honest In
tentions of the Omaha furniture houses.
They mean all right. They iwrn only
a legitimate profit upon each trans
action, though they do charge 20 more
than we charge. It's not their fault. It's
a condition existing In Omaha and not in
South Omaha that forces the Omaha
stores to charge 20 mora than we
charge, and yet make only the same
amount of profit.
In Omaha, expenses rent, light, ad
vertising, warehouse rent, etc. are all
but prohibitive. In South Omaha, ex
penses are practically nothing compared
to Omaha low rent, low operating ex
penses You may have the benefit of
all this saving If you usk for a transfer
from any Omaha car to any Hyuth
Omaha car and ride a few minutes
longer, that's all. Every bouth Omaha
car passes our door.
