For almost two years a Platts mouth gentleman who has chosen to keep his identity secret has paid the monthly rental on the telephone at the American Legion club rooms, as well as the original installation charges. Thus in his quiet way he has contributed materially to the organization and earned the whole hearted thanks of its members. Under instructions to the tele phone company not to divulge his identity he has had mailed each month to Legion officials the receipt for service. Although it is impos sible to lay credit for this gratituous act at the door of any individual. Lecion officials feel they are pretty sure of the party, and extend public thanks to their unknown benefactor for his interest in the progress of the organization.

ONLY DISORDERS OCCUR The only disorder that has marked the railroad strike here as far as can be learned is the practice in the last few days of painting the residences of employes of the Burlington shops, who are not out on the strike, with a liberal application of yellow paint and the sign "Scab," that has been decorating the residences in a num ber of cases. The first of these re ported was on Saturday night when the bonus of Taul Wohlfarth and Ted Farmer were painted and on Sunday the home of George Dodge on south 6th street was decorated up and Monday night the residences of Joseph Warga and William War ga, on west Main street, were also visited by tho nocturnal painters. These jobs were carried out usually late in the evening but in one case it is stated that the rarty doing the work was identified by one of t.e property owners. What action will be taken in the matter has not been announced. THE G. B. & Q. R. R. MEN TOR DESIRABLE AND PER MANENT POSITIONS At points in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska.

ASK WILL HAYS TO DELIVER ADDRESS Republicans Desire Spellbinder at State Convention Davis Not Expected to Resign. Candidates for state office who are interested in the doings of the repub lican state convention are trying to get Will Hays, formerly chairman of the national republican commit tee, to stop off in Lincoln on his way from Colorado to make a speech to the Nebraska gathering. Thus far no spellbinder has been secured for the big meeting. Chairman McCloud of the state committee is said to have invited Ex-Congressman C. F. Rea-, vis to orate before the convention. 1 The state committee has not an nounced the name of the man or wo- . man chosen to preside over the con- I vention. Many interests clash when it comes to selecting the man who j will in all probability be made per-, manent chairman and who will turn down the lapel of his coat in order to be able to name the persons he . has chosen to serve on the committee '. on resolutions and platform. For some time Attorney General Davis has been groomed by his friends for chairman of the state committee. Governor McKelvie is said to favor some one else, for instance E. C. Houston of Tekamah for chairman of the committee and . conductor of the campaign. The name of A. J. Weaver for chairman of the convention has been proposed. It is announced at the attorney general's office that Mr. Davis will not resign the attorney generalship if he is given charge of the republi can campaign. Formerly it was cus tomary for state officials to conduct political campaign while holding of fice. Once this precedent set by both political parties was broken when Judge W. B. Rose, now of the su preme court, was chosen secretary of the republican state committee. He was then assistant attorney general. That position he resigned, another was appointed in his place. After the campaign closed he resumed his place as assistant attorney general. LADY SLICKERS GET INTO HANDS OF LAW Attempt of Two Dashing Young Wo men to Lift Sicken Hose at Thierolf Store Checked. From Tuesday's Dally. This morning about 11 o'clock, two well dressed and attractive ap pearing young women came into the clothing store of Philip Thierolf and asked to look at some of the fine silk shirts that were on display. Mr. Thierolf accordingly proceeded to show the various lines of the dainty and attractive garb for the gentle men and while one of the ladies was engaged in looking them over the other one proceeded to the ladies hosiery counter and handled over a number of pairs of hose, and while doing so was observed by B. A. Ros encrans to leave one pair lying on the showcase and this pair she later picked up and deftly tucked away in the folds of her dress. The ladies then asked Mr. Thierolf about the price of hosiery and seemed disap pointed that the prices were not high enough. In the meantime Mr. Rosencrans had quietly notified Chief of Police Barclay of the matter and the chief strolled into the store and started a conversation while keeping his eye on the ladies and when, after show ing their disappointment at not find ing just the high priced hosiery, the ladies started out of the store, Mr. Rosencrans asked them if they were going to pay for the hose that they had tucked away or not. They ap peared indignant and offended until the chief announced that he would have to frisk them for the hose and while the argument was being con ducted by one of the ladies, the oth er hurried toward the rear of the store and on her way threw the pair of silk hose under one of the cloth ing display tables. The ladies stated that they had come here with a gentleman friend in a car from Omaha, but the ef forts of the police to locate the friend in the case proved a matter of difficulty, altho the car in which they had made their trip here was found. The ladies in the case were turn ed over to Sheriff Quinton and a com plaint filed b'y County Attorney Cole in county court against the one lady that had the hosiery In her posses sion. The lady gave the name of Mar garet Butter in- the office of the county attorney and her home as Omaha. Judge Beeson after hearing the evidence in the case assessed a fine of $5 and costs and also charged the lady double the value of the hos iery and in absence of the necessary funds she was remanded to the coun ty bastile to rest while her young lady companion made efforts to get in touch with friends in South Om aha to raise the funds necessary to secure liberty for Miss Butter. The male companion of the ladies evidently thought discretion the bet ter part of valor, and made his es cape as no trace of him has been found by the authorities. The car in which the parties made the trip here, a Ford coupe, , was brought down to the jail and will be kept until the parties make settlement for their fracture of the law. HELPING GRADE The firm of H. C. McMaken has been engaged in doing some grading for the state on the rifle range north ' of the city and making the range in better shape for the use of the na tional guard at the encampment that will open here on August 14th.
