Judge Scott flopped a moment and then
continued with some bunches of disgust In
terlarded between his remarks :
"Well , I think this Is tho-greatest country
on the face of the earth. Here Is a man who
lias bcn Voting for ten jears and Is not a

"On August 3 , 1S93 , he put a rope around
hsr neck and threatened to hang her. " This
bit of cruelty Is the principal of the manj
cruelties which Stella Honan alleges that she
his sustained at the hands of her husband ,
Pat J. Honan , and on which she bases a suit
of divorce. She was married to him on No
vember 15 , 1S90 , and shortly after ho Is al
leged to have begun his abuse. Many In
stances are cited , but the- main one is the
hanging Incident. The trouble between the
two culminated on August C of thlo ysar ,
when her liubband drove the woman out of
the house , and she. has not returned since ,
Mrs. Honan also makes allegations of drunk
enness and non-support.

Ho Makes General Denial to Allegations o

INTENDS TO BE A COUNTY COMMISSIONER

Halfdan Jacobsen could not eke mud
comfort out of the answer of William I
Klerstead to his complaint contesting Kler
stead's election to the county commissioner
ehlp of the Tourth district , which was lllec
jcsterday In the county court. Tor In 1
Klerstead admits that he claims that he was
elected to the office , and admits that he In
tendo to enter upon It. Furthermore , ho
says that when he gets In he Intends to
stay In , and ho does not Intend to allow
Jacobscn or any one else to usurp the office
by force or fraud or In any other waj- . Ii
the meanwhile he states that he Is willing
for Jacobscn to go ahead with the contest , as
ho wants the matter settled , and hidden
tally wants Jacobsen to pay o\er the costs o
the action. *
Jacobsen began the contest se\erol days
ago , chiefly at the Instigation of his nn
prejudiced friends , who want to get hln
Into the ofilco even more than he wants to
get there himself. In his complaint he
made no allegations of fraud , but said that
In twenty-four out of the twenty-fix o pre
cincts In the three wards , the Third , Eighth
nnd Ninth , represented In the district , there
wore mistakes made In the count , which , I
rectified , would elect him Instead of Kler-
stead. In the other precinct , the Sixth of
the Eighth ward. It was alleged that no
electors voted , although the returns show
that Kleretead received 121 ballots nnd
Jacobsen eighty-four.
In general , Jncobasn's claim to the office
amounts to nothing more than the bars
statement that In each of the precincts ten
or fifteen votes were counted by mistake
which should have been counted for him
self. On ths ! basis he calculates that ho
was elected by a vote of 2,303 to 1,977 , In-
stoid of being defeated by aoto of 2,2ir
to 2,154.
Jacobsen has so far made no attempt to
show that In any of the precincts mistakes
wcro made. He simply makes the bare
statement that the judges and clerks ol
election are so hurried In "their work that
they frequently make mistakes. He does
not sec that such mistakes are likely tc
bs made In fa\or of one candidate as Well
as of another. He has , howoer , t'tlll an
other reason for believing that there was
something wrong about his defeat. Ho does
not see how It was that the entire repub
lican ticket was elected with the exception
cf hlmsslf. This makes him pause and
think that there Is something rotten In Din-
mark.
In his antmer Klerstead denies In general
that there were any more \otes counted for
him thin Jhere were cast for him , and
denies that more votes wcro cast foi Jacob-
sen than were counted. He sajs that If any
mistakes were made In the count by the
judges and clerks of election Jacobsen got
the benefit of the mistakes. The allegation
that no electors voted In the Sixth precinct
of the Eighth ward Is dubbed a falsehood.
Thla allegation was made on the ground
that the judges and clerks had not been
legally sworn In , and that therefore all votes
cast In the precinct wore Illegal and should
be thrown out.
Klerstead has received a certificate of
election from the county clerk and his filed
with the county judge an olllclal bond for
$15,000.

To Judge by lh& flvo petitions which were
filed by him with the clerk of the district
court yesterday , Herman Tlmmo Intends to
make a desperate attempt to obtain satisfac
tion for the defeat which he sustained nt
the polls. ' on last election day. He wants In
cold cash ? 25,000 from five parties.
Tlmme ran for Justice of the peace of Hen-
nlngton on nn Independent ticket , nnd ho
was defeated by his opponent on tbe republi
can ticket by two votes. For some tlmo be
fore election there was circulated In the pra-
clnct In which liennlngton Is situated a
handbill , to which Tlmme attributes his.de
feat more than anything else. Beoldes that ,
however , Tlmme lays that the handbill
caused damage to his character to the amount
of the difference between the salary of a Jus
tice shop and $23,000. The handbill , hs has
reason to believe , was distributed by Henry
Gran , thu successful candidate for the office ;
Otto Hansen , H. n. Waldron , Joseph Doyer
and John H. Kllnker , and bo hau therefore
sued them for $5,000 apiece.
Thf handbill charged Tlmmo with the- col
lection of various amounts while a justice of
the psace which he failed to turn over. It
aUo charges that during his eighteen-year
ttini of office his records show that he had
only flvo cases and that he failed to turn cncr
the record as provided by law. It wound up
by urging voters not to vote for Tlinms.

The nasty weather last night had a com
paratively small effect on the annual recep
tion given by the joung people's societies of
the churches of the city to the young men of
Omaha at the Young Men's Christian associ
ation building. Throughout the evening the
irlglitly lighted rooms , the cosy gymnasium
and the spacious hall were crowded with
about 1,000 joung people of both sexes , who
got perhaps more enjoyment out cf the oc
casion than If the night outside had h-en
irlght and clear.
The reception proper , the gettlng-acqualntfd
nnd glad-to-see-you portion of the evening , If
rou please , began about 8 o'clock and con-
Inued for nn liour. The young men of the-
city , ns they began to pour in , were met by
he reception committee of other j-oung men
and bj j-oung women , marked by badges , who
saw to It that everybody was made at home.
Throughout this portion of the evening the
Young Men's Christian Association orchestra
ilayed excellently good , healthy airs , which
nlngled pleasantly enough with the conver
sation.
During the reception a 'little furore was
raised by tlio entrance of a dozen joung men
tressed In blue suits , who made themsehes
cry evident. They were n portion of the 100
'blue buttons , " who had thus outgeneraled
ho 100 "crango buttons.- The "blue but-
ons" and the "orange buttons" are two op
posing factions , who are seeking to get the
jreater part ! of to } ) liDOO members by which
he asosclatlon ho is to be Increased by
January ID.
At the concluslotrof the reception an nd-
ourmncnl was talttM to the gymnasium ,
where a program'of dumbbell exercises , ap-
mratui work , flonro ; > trotting , mat work ,
umplng and circle * 'tag was given by the
lasics. The Imlllwn ? then Invaded and here
a literary program wus rendered. On behalf
f the. societies Ar hdr Cliase welcomed the
young men and Secretary Ober responded.
The rest of the pVoKram consisted of a num-
> er of excellent relations by Miss Swartz-
ander and a very r clever solo by 51r. Thomas
'ciuiell. The orchestra bestowed its share of
he enjoyment , also ! !
