"I'll vote for a republican , a populist 01 anything outside of h , but I won't vote fo a boltlnK democrat. " That was the sentiment expressed mon forcibly than defiantly by Colonel C. D Caiper of David City at the meeting of tin democratic state central committee las nlfiht. nnd It was adopted by the commlttc after a discussion that lusted several hotrj All ante-meeting talk of concilia tlon and efforts to Ret together will were thrown toth the rump .democrats "wind , and the messenger of peace was glvei n vacation until after the next election , will chance Mrongly In favor of her bolng per mancntly out of a Job In the camp of Nc tiraska democracy. The administration democrats have callei their convention to meet on September C The sllverltes allege that the other follow hope to get In early and have their candl dates entered upon the ballots as the firalgh democrats of Nebraska. This move wa checkmated by the sllverltes. who will hoi their convention on August 22 In Omaha , an now the fight Is on. The meeting of the committee was callei to order by Chairman Smyth at the Tax ton cafe. Me stated that he was gratified t members of the coin sen so many especially In vle\ mlttee present , of the difficulties touching the trans portatlon problem that had been In the wa of the committee since Its organlzatlor Since the last meeting the committee ha gone through n campaign and had elected governor of Nebraska. He Is not a democra In name , but Is In fact. His vetoes hav commended him as a democrat and Justine the action of the democratic convention 1 nominating him. Ills nomination was necessity. In view of the choice of the re publican convention last year , and no tru democrat could regret the action of the part In selecting him. HINT TO THE'rOrULISTS. The chairman hoped that an early cot vcntlon would bo called and that a good ma would bo named for Justice of the supreni court. Then If Governor Holcomb's party fe like reciprocating for past favors and Jolt Ing with the democrats In the coming flgh well and good. If It did not , the democrat would carry the flght on alone. The financial report of the committee wa received and showol that the receipts and e ; pendlturcs since the last convention balance to a cent , and the report was adopted. Edwin Kalloon of Kails City moved that tl vacancy In the committee caused by tl death of Hon. Robert Clegg of Kails City 1 filled by the appointment of W. II. Crook i Falls City. A delegation of Falls City den ocrats prescntcJ a petition asking for M Kalloon's appointment , but he positively il dined to servo , and Mr. Crook was selcctc to nil the vacancy. Then came the slaughter of the "traitors It was announced that Judge J. C. Crawfoi of West Point , Dan Cook of Beatrice , ar several other men who had been named : members of the state central committee h : gone over to the bolters , and a desire wi expressed that the committee decide upon tl manner of Inflicting the political death pel ally. Mr. Kalloon moved that In all casi vrhcro members of the commute had rcfusi to serve , or had written letters to the dial man denying any allegiance to the commute that their places bo declared vacant and 11 vacancies filled by the committee. Mr. Thompson of Grand Island offered i amendment that no action be taken In sui cases. In support of his amendment M Thompson urged that the members of tl committee had been selected by the last sin convention , and that unless they reslgnc died , or moved out of the state , their plac could not be filled except by the coming sta convention. SENTIMENTS OP CASPEIl. Colonel Casper of David City was very er phatlc In his declarations In favor ot the li mediate decapitation of the bolters. He sa the members of the rump convention had I norcd the- mandates of the supreme coui which had held that they had no rights the name of democrats In Nebraska. "I w vote. " ho exclaimed , "for a republican , populist , or anything outside of h 11 , but won't vote for a bolting democrat. " Mr. Ca per said that for twenty-two years he hi been fighting for democracy In Nebraska , ai during that time many of the alleged leade of the party had been trafficking with the dei ncrntlc vote. He had been asked as a met her of the legislature to vote for a republics candidate for senator , because the monopo democrats wanted a republican elected. I had not done so , and he'd be d d If he wi going to soil out to that kind ot cattle th time. time.Mr. . Burke of Omaha asked how Mr. Thorn son would get delegates chosen to the co ventlon from the counties In which the mei bers of the committee had gone over to tl bolters. Mr. Thompson replied that ho wou have the loyal members of the county comml tees call conventions and send delegates r gardless of the action of the bolters and the sympathizers. Then some one asked If there was anythli to show that Judge Crawford had refused act with the committee. In reply the chalrmi read a letter from the Judge In which It wi stated that he awed no allegiance to the cor mltteo headed by Mr. Smyth , and would a with the slmon pnrcs , headed by Mr. Marti "Expulsion Is what ho deserves , " shouti Mr. Kolllgar of Auburn , and the declaratlt was cheered. Mr. Klttenhemse of McCook said that tl refusal of Judge Crawford to act was. In fac a resignation , and created a vacancy. 1 wanted to see full delegations at the co volition and wanted the committee to ta ! steps to secure such a result. Mr. Hollenbeck of Fremont declared th the positions of Judge Crawford and his I wore as certainly vacant as though the nv had gene Into the opposition party openly , i etead of by the side door. NOT ENTITLED TO UECOC1NIT10N. Mr. Falloon said that party discipline w as necessary as school or army dlsclplli : "When men like Judge Crawford and D Cook openly Insulted the chairman a members of the committee they had no rig to recognition by the committee or a part Its makeup. The committee had ample a thorlty to pass upon the qualification of I members. He said ho had been told by member of the rump committee that th committee had decided at Us meeting b fall to use every effort to have the dem cratlc vote thrown to Tom Majors for go ornor , and to elect republican members the legislature. Ho was not In favor of ha Ing members on the committee who we running a republican sideshow. John Stevens of Hastings said that t bolters were worse than the common encin No man bad a right to retain-his connect ! with the committee and at the same tin declare his fealty to the bolters. Dr. Edwards ot Lincoln was tired ot t conciliatory plan. U had been tried and d not work. One roassn for the lack of an cesi In the democratic campaigns was t'n too insny of tho-alleged leaders of the par were really republican allies. Now was goad time to clean them out , and he want all the bolters to get out of the commltt and make room for honest democrats. Frank M Davis of Beatrice told how tl real democrats of Gage county had b en boa winked Into selecting delegates to the run convention to be held on September 5. Di Cook had helped engineer the deal , and nc the true blue boys wanted authority to ci another convention to select delegates to t ! convention to be called by the only recognln state committee that has the 1C to t trai mark. Mr. Thompson's substitute was voted dev and the motion to tire the bolter * we through with a whoop. IIAHD TO NAME THE SUSPKCTS. Chairman Smyth was aked for the list the member * of the committee who hi placed themielves outilde the pale of tl party under the motion that had Juit bei ndopteJ. It was not an easy lUt to furtils onto of the members ot the committee hat ] icon guilty of aim of commission and othen f sins of omlnlon. One of the catcs ol irJma facie evidence was the call recent ! ) siucd by the bolters which was signed h ) our or flvo members of the allvcrltes' com nlttee.

Farrell of Platti oniity. When It came to the mater of bouncing thi ncn who were "on the Hit" there were a fev iltclics. John D. Corson of the Twenty ourth district had been going a llttlo Milling > ut had sent a democrat of the right brand a ils proxy to the committee meeting , and s ic was pissed up for future rctentiCH. C. J 'nrer of Falrfleld was also open to suspl clon , but ho had sent his proxy down b ; fudge Ong's brother , and so he's all rlgh during continued good behavior. Jerry Far rcll , the new secretary of the Board of Trana 'ortatlon ' , was accused of having acccptei ofllco under a republican body , but that wa condoned , It was tacitly admitted that tcllow who could get an ofllce should not b articular about whoso administration he wa Jnilcr , and If he was a democrat and wa tioldlng down an office that would otherwls ) o filled by a republican , the fact should no count against his democracy. Jerry will b considered " " till furthe chalked "O. K. notice. This ended the exemptions , and th Jther fellows on thu proscribed Hit walkc : ho plank In a body , and the committee flllei the vacancies as follows : Ira Thomas ot Oakland , to succeed Judg rawford ; W.

( Special. ) The big Ir rlgatlon ditch companies up west have rui against a legal snag , which Is just now cans ng them considerable trouble. Section 40 o : Iio general Irrigation law provides that : "All persons , companies , corporations or as aoclatlons being desirous of constructing an ; of the works provided for In the prccedlni sections , shall have the right to occupy stat lands and to obtain right of way over anc through any highway In any county In thl state for such purposes without any com Irrigation therefor. " Under this clause the ditch companies chin the- right to dig through school land wlthou first going through the formality of an ap nralsemont and making arrangements to pa ; for the same. The projectors argue that th ditch Is a benefit to the surrounding countr ; and , In reality. Increases the worth o the land. However true this may be , sectloi 18 , article 111. of the constitution of 1875 says : "Lands under control of the state shal never be donated to railroad companies , prl vnte corporations or Individuals. " This clause Is , at present , the bete nolr o the ditch companies. At present It Is no clearly shown how they are to avoid paymen for school land traversed by their canals , an Bome of these long ditches traverse hundred of acres of the most valuable school land I the state.

According to the returns of the Llncol assessor there Is but one bicycle In the cltj and that one Is owned by Dr. Simmons. Th real number of wheels In the limits of th assessor's bailiwick Is put down as 3,000 , an their average cost price $100 each. It I quite possible that the descrepancy betwee this fact and the assessor's returns lies 1 the condition of the bikes. As Is well know a majority of bicycles are purchased on tlnu and the would-be owner , having never mad the final payment , does not hold that the tltl Is In him. The bicycle dealer , on the coi trary , In giving In the list of his person : property , would not readily return a wheel , c wheels , that he had every reason to hellev were sold. Thus the bike becomes lost In tl : shuffle. The same condition exists with typi writers , which are also sold on time pa ] merits.
