GOD IN THE BANK'S BOOKS.
Candidate for Dowle's Mantle Had a
Novel Method In His Business.
Sioux City , Iowa , Aug. 1C. Alfred
E. Hills , who aspires to succeed John
Alexander Dowle as overseer of Zlon
City , has for many years considered
himself a trustee of God's business
When he ran a bank at Miller , S. D
God was on his books as a regular de
positor.
This fact Is attested by W. A. Smith
former bookkeeper in Bills' bank at
Miller , who was in Sioux City this
week. "Bills had a somewhat curious
method of handling God's affairs , " sail !
Mr. Smith. He very religiously depoS' '
Ited to God's credit 10 per cent of the
prollts of the bank and of other enter
prises In which Bills was interested. .
When the Almighty had accumulated
quite a snug sum , Bills , as steward
would take a part or all of it and in
vest it for God. If the venture proved
successful , God always got back every
cent of the principal , but the profit
found their way Into Bills' private ac
count. If the Investment lost money
God had to stand It. "
According to Mr. Smith , some o
those flyers were In enterprises int <
which the Almighty might have hai
some hesitation about going , had h
had a direct voice in it. There wer
none , however , to the book-keeper'
knowledge , which wore In any wise
Illegal. God's account was , of course ,
drawn on for all charitable and reli
gious contributions ,
W. H. GREEN OF CREIGHTON FOR
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
THE POPULISTS FINALLY YIELD
E. H. LUIKART OF TILDEN NAMED
FOR STATE AUDITOR.
IT TOOK ALL NIGHT TO DO IT
Two Conventions Wrangle all Night
and at Early Hour This Morning
cRach an Agreement on Division of
the Jobs.
Lincoln , Nob. , Aug. 1C. Special to
The News : After an all night session ,
at 5:20 : this morning the populists
agreed to accept four places on the
democratic ticket and endorse A. C.
Shallenhargor of Alma for governor.
Bergo spoke for more than an hour to
the populist convention , and judging
from his speech ho Is very much dis
pleased with the result. The opposi
tion to Bcrge is not personal but Is
based upon the belief among old line
democrats that a democrat and not a
populist should bo the fusion nominee.
AH the I'osult of the agreement at an
early hour this morning , the demo
crats concede to the populists land
commissioner , auditor and two rail
way commissioners , while the demo
crats are to take governor , lieutenant
governor , state treasurer , secretary of
stnto , superintendent of public Instruc
tion and one railway commissioner.
Lyslo Abbott of Omaha was named
for attorney general this morning.
Lincoln , Neb. , Aug. 1C. Hnrmonloiu
fusion between the Democrats and
Populists of Nebraska was threatened
by the action of the Democratic stata
convention , which , at an early hour
this morning , nominated A. C. Shallen >
berger for governor , Instead of Georga
W. Borgo , whom the Populists had
confidently counted upon as the choice
of both conventions. The roll call re
sulted : Shallenborger , 4553-5 ; Bergo ,
331 2-5 ; Thompson , 31
There was a debate of over an bout
In the Democratic convention on tha
question of nominating a United States
senator , and It was decided In tha
nfllrmatlve The ticket Is as follows :
For United States senator , William
H. Thompson of Grand Island ; for
governor , Ashton C. Shallenbcrger ,
Alma : lieutenant governor , William
II Green , Crelghton ; secretary ol
state. Carl R. Gouclier , Wahoo ; trens
urer. Frank C Babcock , Hastings ;
auditor , Ed H. Lulkhnrt , Madison
county. Further nominations wera
postponed pending the report of tha
committee sent to confer with tha
Populist convention.
The platform bestows unstinted
praise on William J. Bryan , pointing
to him as the leader of democracy of
the nation. The resolutions , as adopt
ed. say In part :
"We extend to Mr. Bryan a hearty
welcome homo. We rejoice that ha
stands today as a conspicuous and
central figure In the great moral nnd
political revolution which Is now
swooping- over the country. While all
the states rejoice that he has become
the first citizen of the world , It re
mains only for our state to boast that
It gave him political birth and started
him upon the highway of fame and
usefulness.
"We favor the election of senators
by the direct vote of the people , as
soon as the constitutional amendment
for that purpose can be secured , and
In the present campaign we pledge the
Democrats elected to the legislature
to support for United States senator
a. Democratic candidate who may be
nominated for that office by this con
ventlon. " .
The rest of the platform Is devoted
to stnto Issues , lending planks declar
ing for a maximum freight rate law ,
abolition of railroad passes , creation
of a railroad commission and direct
primary law.
Populists Are Disappointed.
News of the nomination of Shallen-
berger for governor by the Democrats
caused disappointment and some re
sentment in the convention of the
Populists , who had confidently counted
on the nomination of George W.
Bergo of Lincoln by both conventions.
A proposal to nominate Berge any
how met with the announcement that
Mr. Bergo would not consent to be the
candidate of the Populists alone.
The Populist platform declares for
lands for citizens , government owner-
chip of railroads and means of Inter
communication of the people and the
Issue of money by the general govern
ment only.

NORFOLK SUFFERED FROM HOT
TEST DAY OF THE SUMMER.
NO BREEZE TO HELP COOL OFF
And So the People Sweltered anc
Fanned and Drank Cold Water With
Little Effect ItWas , 95 In the Shade
Yesterday Hotter Today.
[ From Thursday's Pally. ]
As a result of the hottest day of the
year , and by far the hottest night
Norfolk people last night fumed am
tossed and suffered from the hea
through many long and sultry hours
The mercury climbed up during the
day to 95 in the shade , and the av
erage for the day and night was SO
The hot sun came out again this morn
Ing and promised another scorcher.
Yesterday afternoon's torrid sut
poured molten heat down on Norfoll
and humanity within the town. Ther
was no breeze to relieve the Intensity
of the heat and the air was so fillet
with moisture that it was extraordl
narlly oppressive. People hunted fan
and hammocks and tried to keep coo
but it was no use. At the race true
the crowds sweltered just as they did
In town , for no one could suggest re
lief.
Cooler weather Is predicted for to
morrow.
It was hoped that when the su
went down there might bo relief 1
the shadows of night , but the mercur
refused to fall in any sudden drop. In
stead , the oppressive atmosphere kop
up and the people squirmed hither an
thither , trying to keep cool.
There was no breeze all night Ion
with which to help fun the sufferln
sleepers , and most of Norfolk awok
this morning quite unrested.
Early this morning the average ma
mopped his brow and declared : "Thi
is going to be a scorcher. "
But it helps the coin.
