AGIO
Railroad Issue Not Involved In
This Year's Campaign.
it is stated on good authority, both
from the employes' organization and
from official sources that the railroad
vote of Nebraska will not be thrown
solidly to any one candidate or set of
candidates. The reason given foi this
is said to be that
"There is no railrond Issue in
volved in the campaign this year and
neither party has advocated more
stringent regulation."
The railroad employes of the state
are organized and it is held that a
large per cent of the railroad vote
could be thrown on short notice to
any one candidate, but because of cer
tain issues involved and the lack of
agitation on railroad questions the
railroad managers and the employes'
association have decided to make no
organized fight In the political cam
paign this year. That announcement
has come from many sources and Is
believed to be authentic.
A state branch of the employes' as
sociation was organized by delegates
from the local branches in the state
at a meeting held Iji Omaha. Of the
organization of the Btate board the
following report is made:
"The meeting was called to order
by 0. O. Brophy, a conductor on the
Union raciflc. J. D. Pennington, of
Wymore, Neb., a conductor on the
Burlington, was elected chairman of
the board. Del Ryder, a foreman in
the Union Pacific car shops at Grand
Island, was elected vice chairman,
and John Welch, of Norfolk, secre
taty. The executive committee, be
sides the chairman and secretary of
the board, who act as ex-offlclo mem
bers, consists of W. J. Smith, local
agent of the Northwestern In Omaha;
A. J. Jessup, a Union Pacific engineer
of Beatrice, and L. C.'McBrlde, chief
clerk to the superintendent of the
Burlington at Lincoln. G. O. Brophy
was selected as national representa
tive. P. H. Morrissey, of Chicago,
president of the national organiza
tion, delivered an address dealing
with questions of vital Interest to
employes, owners and the public."

MOST A CONFLAGRATION
AT THE DARLING HOI
Yesterday afternoon about 5:45 a
small blaze was mysteriously started
at the kitchen door o fthe residence
occupied by Mrs. Darling, situated on
Granite street, the first door east of
the Christian Science church. Had
It not been for the timely appearance
of Mrs. Ward Clark on the scene Just
after the blaze was started, a Berlous
loss might have been sustained. Mrs.
Clark was summoned to the back
yard by the cries of the children, who
had discovered the fire and were try
ing to give the alrm. Mrs. Clark
seized a candy pall sitting near, and
pumping It full of water and In some
way got It over to the blazing kitchen
and dashed the water on the blaze,
which checked the fire so much that
another pail of water brought by the
children extinguished the blaze.
It Is not known how the fire was
started. A. E. Thomas had left the
premises but a short time before, but
says there had been no fire In the
house since Monday, when his moth
er, Mrs. Darling, went away.
The fire started on the outside and
at the kitchen door, and burned the
door casing and the inside of the door
to some extent. The damage will be
slight, thanks to the efforts of Mrs.
Clark.

cured a judgmeut for $13,000 in Em
met county, had the amount cut tu
$12,00(1, and C. E. Handy of Oxford,
who was badly humid in a powder tx
plosion, had a like experience In the
reduction of his' judgment.
The court also decided in a caso
from Keokuk that the city council had
a right to decide that Mayor Charles
Off was defeated for election. Off ban
died quite recently.
The supreme court held that tho
federal employers' liability act does

the federal courts in the trial of such

have jurisdiction to try actions under
thai statute. The case involved a
damage suit brought by a brnkeinan
against the Rock Island railroad.
