By way of solution they will endorse
the Btevrna bill, a congreslonal act pro

"Mr. North, Internal Revenue Collector,
Omaha, Neb. Dear Sir: I am in receipt
of a protest over the action of your de
partment in collecting from the Lincoln

provided for a 'circus.' In this schedule
is Hated theaters, circuses and other
amusements, and I . am advised by cor
respondence with both the St. Joseph and
Bloux City Base Ball associations that

heading of 'other amusements.' I do not
sea by what stretch of the imagination

amusement association such as a base
ball association as a circus..
"I respectfully request that the depart
ment change its ruling in regard thereto,
and that there be returned to the Lincoln

collected over what would be due under

formation that a deal hns been fixe J up
whereby, If Governor Morehead appoints
Mathews tn the printing job, the support
of the Bryan crowd will go to the gov
ernor for the democratic nomination for
United States senator.
The rumor Is considered to have con
siderable foundation for the reason tbst
raprescntatlvra of the candidacy of Sena
tor Hitchcock are redoubling their efforts
to make sentiment In favor of the senior

It la well known that Mathews haa
been boosting the Bryan at any and all
tlmea In and out of season, provocation
or no provocation, and, while deeply dis
appointed that the eerretary of state
cannot seem to see the marshalshlp for
