The new ones are: C. L. Lambert, F. D. Lamphere, B. O. Colder and J. U. Spauldlng of Linooln, members of Company F, Second regiment In eaoh case the adjutant general has filed the complaint and he ha appointed the court martial to try the guardsmen. In the past when member of the guard failed to report at camp there was little If anything done and never was there a court martial assembled to try the accused. Ad jutant General Hartlgan impressed it upon the guard that orders had to be obeyed as though issued to regular soldiers, but sev eral failed to heed the injunction or take warning with th result that more than a score of young men will be brought to trial. Csmmlns to Speak. Senator A. B. Cummins of Iowa will speak for the republican state ticket in Lincoln on the evening of October 26. Chairman Husenetter secured the consent of the senator to be here on that date and It is expected that a big meeting will be th result Lincoln HappT Aarajn. The city of Lincoln Is anxious to discover whether it is a city or a back slider, and the discussion has become so rampant that no crowd on the street lacks for a subject of conversation. It all started over an Interview with D. E. Thompson in which the former ambassador asked several questions why Lincoln Is so and so. Then he made the assertion that Lincoln has 1,500 houses vacant. This, of course, was rank hearsay. Druggist Rlggs advertised that 8,000 house were vacant while others Insisted there are only 600 vacant houses. The morning paper charge that Mr. Thompson wants to open up a couple of saloons, or use his vacant roomB for that purpose and for that reason he called attention to the lack of families here, Klvlng the Impression that the drougth here has done Its work. Mr. Thompson, being a man of few words and much property, of fered to pay to any charity society Jl.000 for every 100 houses below 1,500 vacant, if some one else would agree to pay 11.000 for every 100 vacant houses over 1,500. The morning paper at once announced that the mall carriers had investigated, and that Mr. Thompson had missed his guess by at least 900. So it goes. And every one is happy. The campaign talk was not hot enough and this new subject is the warmest proposition since the First National bank sign. May Chsnite Policy. The recent election of a board of direc tors for the Commercial club was as much of a surprise to some of the people of Lincoln as was the result of the recent bond election. The following wer elected: H. B. Grainger. C. H. Rude. 8. A. Foster, R. M. Joyce, G. J. Woods, C. C. Qulggle. I. M. Raymond, Jr., O. B. Towle, H. E. Gooch, W. A. Selleck and F. M. Hall. It Is probable that this board will change the policy which has for some years been Insisted upon by non-business Interests and an effort made to build up this city in stead of tearing down other citlea.
