Ucagan of tho Doug lus county deinocratlo committee has re turned from a week spent on legal busi ness at Seward, York and Grand Island. He said he found sentiment for Dahlman Is growing. "At York I met a man who is in charge of the circulation of Bryan petitions In that judicial district." said Mr. Ueagau. "He Insisted they are going to make Mr. Uiyan run for the senate, and I am con vinced the result of tho petitions In circu lation will be to put Bryan In the senatorial race. It 18 Incomprehensible to me that these petitions should be in circulation, with at least the tacit consent of Mr. Bryan's brother and manager unless an un derstanding of some sort existed with Bryan himself before hla departure for Europe. On his return he will be presented with a stack of petitions as high as a table, with 25.000 or more names on them, maybe 50,000, since I understand republicans ore not barred from signing If they are Bryan men. In my Judgment, those peti tions, presented In that way, will settle Mr. Bryan's candidacy. It does not seem possible he will turn them down."

FEW BRICK IN SIGHT TO ' MEET THE SPECIFICATION City Knglner Craig; Returns from (ialeebarv, Where He Finds Ferr Beings' Made. Prosrects are pot bright for the com pletion of much new brick pavement In Omaha this year. City Engineer Craig, on his return from Galesburg this morning, said the Purlngton yards are not putting out any great quantity of brick. "Much of the brick on hand In the yards does not come up to the Omaha specifica tions," said Mr. Craig, "and would not be accepted by this department. Very little new brick Is being turned out, so far as I could see, because of the strike that has been on at the Purlngton yards for several months. It Is not a question of wages, apparently, but of open or closed shop, and the proprietors are unquestionably having difficulty In getting the men needed to run their yards at anything like capacity. "The existing slate ot things makes ll sure that we will not permit the opening of any more streets at this time, at least not In the downtown districts." A LINIMENT FOR EXTERNAL USE.
