Madldon. Noli. . May 10. Front n
staff correspondent : MadlHon county
politic * are backwiml ami political
gossip haw only begun to filter through
the ImlN of ( ho county court IIOIIHO.
When1 In many romitloH ovnr the
state the new primary law IH serving
to bring county politics early to the
surface and candUhitoH are openly an
nounelng lhuin rlH In MadlMon poli

county Judge ; ' ( MenientH , sheriff ;
Chris Sehavland , county troaHiirer ;
George 13. HIchardHoti , county chirk ;

II. Harding , county commissioner ; A.
.1. Thatch , county mirvoyor. Of the
officials nl ( he court house whose
terms expire thin fall Judge Halos In
the only adherent to the democratic
party.
Of the olficlalH lit MadlHon two ,
County Treasurer Schavland and
County AHHi'MMor llynearson , are by
law rendered Ineligible for an addi
tional term. On the other hand men
like Superintendent Frank S. Perdue ,
who are serving thulr first term ami
are hacked by a good record , natural
ly oxpect. to HCO the Hccond term rule
carry something of ItH convention
force to the primary. County Clerk
George 13. HlehardHoa IH a tlfHt term
man ; so IH Commissioner Harding of
Meadow Grove ; HO IH Clerk W. II.
Mold of the district court.
In MadlHon It IH considered that the
name of P. W. Until of Newman
Grove , at present olllce deputy In ( ho
assessor's olllce , will appear on the
primary ballot an a candidate for the
republican nomination for county as
sessor , HlH friends will urge , It IH
said , his thirty yours residence In the
county , his two years experience aH
olllco deputy and IIH ! geographical hv
cation as n representative of south ,
western Madison. As u posHlblo con
testant for the democratic nomination
J. Manning of Mattle Creek Is moil'
tinned.
Touching the Hberlff's olllco a re
cent editorial In the Madison Chron
icle said :
"Under the law passed by the last
legislature the salary of sheriffs In
count ley having from 10,000 to 20,000
population Is llxod at $1,500. Madison
county comes under this class. The
sheriff heretofore has been one of the
jwmrost paid olllcers In the county al
though the position carries with It
greater responsibility than many of
the other county olllces. We wish to
go on record as favoring the ronoml-
nation of Sheriff Clements for this
olllce as he has held It during the past
few terms when the fees barely yield
ed a sutllclcnt amount to support a
family. This statement Is not made
with the Intention of opening the cam
paign but we believe that the senti
ment In the republican party will be
almost unanimous for the renomlna-
tlon of Mr. Clements. "
Pot Must Boll Soon.
This year under the new primary
law nomination papers must be Hied
at least thirty days before Septembei
; t , primary day. In less than three
months nominations under the pi'K
mary system will ho closed.
This primary law as published In
the state papers has been character-
i/.ed by former United States Senator
Allen of Madison as vicious. " 1 am
waiting to receive an olllclnl copy of
the new law , " says Senator Allen in
his new law otllee In Madison , "when
1 receive this copy I am going to ex
amine It thoroughly. 1 will have sev
eral months In which to do so. 1
have read a report of the law in the
Omaha Mee and sections of the law
" as published seem vicious. "
Allen's New Building.
Senator Allen's new ollice home ,
probably the finest private olllce build-
lug in the state , is not yet completed
although Mr. Allen has had bis otllco
moved in the new quarters for several
weeks. A one story building of
pressed brick and stone , it provides
an olllco suite of four rooms with n
large lire proof vault and special toi
let rooms.
To be heated with hot water , vontl-
. latod by Interior windows through the
several rooms and lighted for the
most part with prism glass windows
Senator Allen's ofllce Is of nearly
model design. The same methodical
spirit that dictated the arrangement
of the building Is evidenced in the
disposition of the law library and fur
nishings within. The senator's law
library of several thousand volumes
lines the wall of the rooms , accompa
nied by digests and indexes , perfectly
accessible. Seated In bis private of
llce before a big Hat desk , the senator
finds at cither side a revolving book
stand , each stand holding some 300
Ixjoks illgests , special index books
and volumes required In constant ref
erence , all swinging within reach of
the arm.
This Is Senator Allen's workshop.
A ttlo entrance Is to be laid , the big
vault is to bo finished , the furnace Is
to be Installed , these and other de
tails remain to bo completed , but the

ing erected by Fred Schelly at Seventh
street and Koenlgsteln avenue. The
now factory which Mr. Schelly has
started , In again entering the bottling

thing of a demand for soft drinks
throughout oven the winter months.

ment to several people depending upon
the volume of business that is worked
up. One man will probably ho sent
out to represent the factory on the
road. Pop , ginger ale , birch beer ,
elder and mineral waters will bo put

pleted last month. The front portion
of the building is finished Into olllce
and stock rooms with the working

TOO MANY FALSE ALARMS
Fires n Mile Outside City Limits
Ought Not Send In Alarms ,
Norfolk firemen in rushing out tc
fire alarms are going to slip sleeve
hands around their arms. The hands
will Indicate that the wearer is a fire
man and also Indicate the company
with which ho works. These emblems
the adoption of which was favored by
the May meeting of the fire depart
ment , are not intended for show pur
poses. Firemen expect the bands to
bo useful in the bigger fires as Indi
cating In a glance just what people
around the lire are firemen and who
spectators. The matter has been loft
to a committee of firemen.
Plans for the proposed new hose
drying and hell tower were laid be
fore the meeting of the firemen. Final
action was not taken.
The Norfolk fire department , ac
cording to Charles Pilger , the new
chief of the department , should not be
. called out to fires which are a mile
'or ' so from the city limits. Unable
to render assistance , the department
Is rushed out only to bo turned hack
> y word that the lire Is beyond their
reach. To keep a department effec
tive It is considered desirable to re
duce falbe alarms to a minimum.

UNION DEPOTSITUATION
_
Northwestern Now Insists on Immedi
ate Settlement of Plan.
A. J. Durland , chairman of the Com
mercial club committee on union de
pot , yesterday telegraphed Manager
Mohler of the Union Pacific asking
for a definite statement as to the In
tentions of that road toward a joint
station at this place. For several
weeks the committee has been trying
to secure a conference with the ofll-
clals of the Northwestern and Union
Pacific at Omaha In regard to the mat
ter , but have been unable to do so for
the reason that ono or another of the
ofllclals Interested has been away from
homo every tlmo such an attempt has
boon made. The committee bad orig
inally understood that It was to bo
given until the llrst of Juno to bring
about an agreement , but1 now the Chicago
cage and Omaha ofllcials of that road
seem to bo in a hurry to close the
matter up , the pressure resulting in
yesterday's telegram. Mr. Mohler is
now in the west and It Is stated that
ho will not return for another ten days
or two weeks. In case a satisfactory
answer cannot be secured from the
manager of the Union Pacific , at this
time , the committee in charge believes
that the Northwestern should give a
reasonable extension of time in which
to bring about a conference , before de
termining to go ahead with an indi
vidual depot.

FRED MILLER , PIERCE BUTCHER ,
IS IN NORFOLK.
REFUSED TO STAY IN ASYLUM
Miller Walked Away From Hospital
After Fourteen Days and Attorney
Barnhart Will Resist For Him Any
Efforts to Send Him Back ,
Attorney H. F. Barnhart of Norfolk
will' test the validity of the dipsoma
niac law of Nebraska In case Plerco
county authorities or authorities from
the state insane asylum at Lincoln at
tempt to return to that Institution Fred
Miller , formerly owner of a Pierce
meat market , who recently left the
asylum at Lincoln without permission
and who Is now In Norfolk- .
Miller was In the dipsomaniac ward
at the Lincoln asylum just fourteen
days. He was sent to the Institution
from Pierce after ho had been drinking
and had engaged In an encounter with
a resident of that place. Ho says that
the superintendent of the Lincoln asy
lum gave him medlcino for three days
and declared that ho needed no treat
ment ; that he was set at cutting meat
in the Institution's kitchen and that ,
at the end of fourteen days , ho simply
walked away and did not return. It
was reported at Pierce that he had
"escaped" and that his whereabouts
were unknown.
Miller came Immediately to Norfolk
and sought out Attorney Barnhart who
secured work for the man in a local
meat market and who has interested
himself in the case-to the extent of
declaring that he will resist any at
tempt to send Miller back to Lincoln
and place him in the hospital. Mr.
Barnhart says that he has known Mil
ler for years and that he is not a
proper subject for the dipsomaniac
treatment ; that , while a bit eccentric ,
he should never have been sent to the
asylum and that there was no justice
In thus depriving him of his liberty.
Miller Is looking well and appears
to be taking care of himself. He says
that ho is not trying to elude the au
thorities at Pierce and that he defies
them to come atter him. A. Pierce
paper said last week that Miller would
probably not return to Pierce because
be know be would be sent back to the
asylum In case he did ; Miller says
that ho Intends to return to Pierce
soon and begin proceedings against
the county lor loss sustained in tak
ing him away from bis business. Ho
says that his shop was sold at a loss
and he believes he is entitled to re
cover damages.

HOW HE REACHED DECISION.
Police Judge Elselcy Gives Reasons
for Dismissing Case.
Regarding his decision during the
week to the effect that Contractor Her-
rlck's men might make sewer connec
tions without a plumber's license , Po
lice Judge Elseley Issued this state
ment Saturday :
"This complaint or action Is brought
for violation of ordinance No. 150 , an
ordinance "regulating plumbers' li
censes , giving boi ls , permits , etc. ,
In connection with the sewer and wa
terworks in the city of Norfolk , Neb.
"Ordinance No. 220 , approved four
years later , does the same thing but
does not say anything or even men
tion the word 'sewer' and repeals all
ordinances or parts thereof In conflict
with oVdlnance No. 220.
"The question to my mind Is , 'Does
ordinance No. 220 repeal ordinance
No. 150 ? ' Or is ordinance 220 enact
ed for the purpose to amend No. 150 ?
If it was it would say so. Again It
Is written and it is my opinion that If
amendatory of ordinance 150 said or
dinance No. 150 or the parts therefor
intended to remain in force would have
, been brought forward or contained In
ordinance No. 220. Hence I conclude
that under our present ordinance no
license to do plumbing in connection
with the sewer is required , and this
case is dismissed. "
