After several mistakes - takes In the count nml llio omitting of the returns from Norwulk township comes the serving of a notice of contest by J. It. howls ami O. A. lln > ncs , the t\\o defeated demo cratic camllilatcs for Justice of the peace. Lewis Is after Ovhlo Vlen's scat anil Ilnjncs wants to step Into 11. 0. Cook's judicial shoes. The claims of the contestants arc based on the aliened Incorrect marking of the republican ballots on which the \otera marked the square opposite the nntne of S. T. Walker , the Independent candidate for justice. The presumption Is that these \otcs were all cast by republicans and were voted straight except whore the name of S. T. Walker was maiKcd. In this way they claim the entire \oto on the three Justices was lost If counted for Vlen and Cook. The case Is based on the decision of the supreme court of the state on the Marshalltown contest. To substantiate their claims Lewis anil I In ji.es must show that the \ntrs received by Walker were on straight icpubllcan bal lots and that the voter simply made a cross In the square opposite the head of the republican tlckit and then switched over and crossed at Walker's name. This , the Maishalltown decision holds , leaves t he ather two votes on justice In doubt and no one but the voter has the right to decide to whom they shall be given In such a ballot the presumption Is that HIP voter has cast a vote for four justice when he Is entitled to vote for but three. Walker received 270 votes and If these are thrown out and arc of the Kind presumed In the petition , It will elect Lewis and Haynes. Since the election numerous chntgcs of Irregularities have been made. One of the latest made Is against the returns from the Klrst precinct of the Sixth ward. It Is charged tint the judges of election ail left the polling place to get something to eat and during their absence left the ballot boxes In possession of the clerks and chtl- lengers They Kept right on rocolvln ; ? bal lots. If this can be substantiated the vote of the precinct will bo thrown out. MAKiS QUITO A DlI-TKIlKNCi : . The announcement that the vote of NorwalK - walK township had been thrown out eatiFcd a decided sensation jcstcrday among the betting fraternity. This. It Is claimed , gave Hagcr a majority of 2 MO in the district. Most of the betting was on the congressional majority and several thousand dollars was laid against Hager getting 2f > 00 more votes than Uennng. One of the betters Intel ested In the count made nn effort to verlf.v the re turns from the nine counties > cstorday morning by telephoning and telegraphing to all the county scats. The Ilgurcs ho re ceived reduce Hager's majorlt > con.sideiahly below what It wnn drat given out as. lie sild that hla figures cave Hager but 2 3SO ahead of Genung. There Is considerable anguish In the breasts of some of the men who settled on the Hint returns and all bets are now being held until the olllclal canvass la made at DCS Molncs by the executive council. This will be done some tlmo next week. _ feATl It I ) AY. The Last Dii } of ( InAilii Itrliiui Spe cial Snlc.

Uuanclla & Co , have nicd a written protest with the Hoard of Supervisors ob jecting to the action taken Thursday In letting the ront-ict to C. H. II. Campbell for the building of the county bridges. Their communication sent to the board jesterday stated that they were ready to discount the figures on which the Campbell contract was made 15 pcrcenlnm and Increase the bond for the faithful performance of the work from $5,000 to $10,000 , or twice that If necessary. The grounds upon which the protest Is based are that the contract was let with out railing for bids and that the offer of Guanella & Co. to hand In an estimate was not considered. Guanellt & Co state that they Kent a letter to the board agreeing to submit estimates for the building of the bridges on pinna ami specifications to bo drawn up either by the county survejor or by themselves , several dajs before the con tract with Campbell was signed. A repre sentative of Guanplla Co appeared before the board meeting > esterdiy and demanded that the communication objecting to the con tract with Mr. Campbell bo placed on record.

As ho heard the strokes naturally ho had the Impression that ho hid slept all night and had neglected the child. , He got up nulckly and was surprised to find that the darkness was Intense , and , on striking a light and consulting his watch , ho was astonished to find not only that ho .had not slept more than two hours , but ( hat no bell had struck ; that It wab between the hours , so that ho could not ha > o heard the clock strike1 some other hour and mistaken It for 0 Tliero wab , It should bo mentioned , no striking clock In tbo' house , nor uny within hearing except the .toiui clock , which he biippoBed he had heard , but had not. Now this seems tel be a clear case of the operation of some sqrt of machinery In the man's mind whereby ho W.IB roused by the premature occurrence of the sensation of a summons that was sure to awaken him under ordinary circumstances. That tin man was bound iilhtep was proved by the fact that ho u ght easily have heard the bell strike II and 12. for the window was open , and soon afterward , being now awake , ho heard It Htrlko 1 o'clock loudly , but he heard nothing of the noisy striking of these hours. Ho had gone to sleep very tired , and but by this summons BO skillfully directed by his HubcoiiHclousncss , occurring at the expiration of the tlmo ho had set when ho fell auleep , ho might easily hav slept all ulght. The ringing of no hour but 0 ever rouse > d him under ordinary circumstances ; "therefore , " said his unsleeping nubcont.clounness , "I will ring In C o'clock on him and sco If that will make him get up and cover the baby.

And , of course , none but true parrot stories ever find their way Into print A well known resident of Tloga , baja the Philadelphia Inquirer , Is telling ono which bo declared ho Is willing to stake a hard earned reputation for veracity upon. This particular parrot Is the property of a Tloga household , the head of which Is In ordinately fond of a quiet little game of poker. For jean > It has been his custom to KCt three or four of his friends together at leabt twice a week In the Ming library nf his house , and while away four or live hours of an evening by means of five > -cnt ante with a quarter limit. The parrot's cage hangs In the same library except on state occasions , when It is taken Into the dining room. The man's wife Is as devoted to her church as he Is to his favorite game. She never misses a meeting , and as often as the good man will come , has her pastor to her home for Sunday dinner. Ho vvas there two or three weeks ago. Po wcrej n number of other friends of the fam ily The master of the household presided over the dinner , and the conversation was at lively and vivacious us the sanclty of the day would admit. The clergyman was , and Is , ono of the liberal minded up-to-date claKS of men who nro briiwlni ; religion In closer touch with the mabscs , or the masses In closer touch with tellglon , than It has perhaps ever been before. His utterances when out of the pulpit arc frequently punctuated with every day expressions the use of which by a preacher would have been thought strange a decide ago Ho also goes so far as to attend - tend the theater occasionally. It was ho who was talking nt the table , and all the others were Interested listeners. The subject was the morning set vice at hla church , the attendance upon which had been very largo. "Yes , " ho said , "I couldn't help remarking to mjself as 1 entered the pulpit. 'Well , this Is ono tlmo I've got a full house.

"Take the monuy , Dick1" The presence of the preacher , the parrot s profanity and the fact that "Dick" Is her husband's name sent the mistress of the house Into a fit of hysterics , which nearly broke ui the dinner.

Nov. 13 To the Kdltor of The Hie Now that the toft , white wings of peace begin to hou'r above the political world and one-half iuc people of the land do not feel It longer necessary or profitable to think the other half thlovftf. villain. ) , apostates or anarchists. It may be well to begin to heal some of the wounds Indicted during the late war. During the closing dajs of the political eonfllct It was Hashed to us hero In Ne braska that Itishop Worthlngton had en tered quite actively Into tno war for the union in the Interest of Mr. McKlnley's election ; and further that ho had ittributed all the evil , ? to which the farmers of Ne braska and el'ewhere are heirs to the over- education of 'he sons and daughters of the farmers , and not to false political or economic conditions "The education of the tons and daughters of the farmers was catrled too far. " and so they became restlcw and dis contented with the faun and asplied to petitions for which they were not fitted by natural ability , and left the farms for the city to swell the gte'at army of those seek ing after fortune or bread , to their own hurt and to the hurt of the farm and the nation. Ik cause of the apparently close connec tion that existed between what he > ald or the political situation In Ncbr.ukn and of our sjstcin of publtu school education what he talil of the latter vvas made to have n po'ltlcal ' hc-ailng which v.as unjust to Itishop Worthlngton. To correct that I have received his permission to state IIH ! actual position on the school question as he ex pressed , or meant to t-\prews , hlmxelf In the New York Interview. The report of what the bishop sild as to the political situation was substantially cort-ect , and of that noth ing need be said except , perhaps , that It had no ecclesiastical bearing or stgnlllcance whatever. The blshop ° t > political convictions are hta own personal possessions , and no member of the llocK ruled by him , whether clerical or lay. was under any moral or ec clesiastical obligation to vote or think as he did , except as his own judgment and con science prompted or dictated. Prom consideration of the political situ ation the conversation drifted to other top- ln. In the blshop'ti mind , nt all events , there vvas no onneetlon between what he said of thepollteal ! situation and his views on our sjstom of public education. He told his Interviewer , when tin * subject eaino up , that he held some radical views on the cilbjccl of public education If he had the power ho would enforce the German sjHtem of compulsory education upon all the chil dren of the nation up to the point of making them capable of fulfilling the ne saar > duties of cltl/cniihlp Intelligently. Beyond that point , with what is known as the higher education , at the public cost , he should make that dependent upon the ] or- sonal nnd Intellectual Illness of each child If the child was an Idler In school , or if he did not pasbcui intellectual ability to go on to a higher training with profit to him bdf or advantage to the state , the bithop felt It was a wrong both to the child and to the Rtate to cause him to spend his forma live jears In trjlng to acquire an education which only served to unfit him for useful ness In the position In life for whlih he wae beat fitted by nature or character to fill So far as advanced education at the public cott was concerned this was Just as true of the children of the wealthy or the pros perous as It wiri of the children of the poor. If those wished to give their Incapa ble or Idly disposed children an education bejond the common , at their onn cost , that was their own matter and could not be pic vented , but the public ought not to bo taxed for their lack of judgment as to the best Interests of their Incapable or Idle children Whit the bishop said of the suns und daughterh of farmers was only an Incident of an extended conversation. It had no connection with the political s'ltnatlnn then existing , and It had no speelal refeience to the fanners cf Nebraska. He was traveling In a carriage homo time ago In the cential part of New York. Noticing some valuable- f.iims advertised for sale by the way hi asked his driver why the ouneia disired to sell. 'I ho teply was that the farmers hens and daughters were grown up and had abandoned the farms for the city Their parents had grown too old to work or to enjoy life , as they once did , on the farm They wcro old nnd lonely nnd so the- ) wanted to sell out und follow their children to the city. The bishop used thN Incident to Illustrate what he said to his Interviewer of the btrong tcndencj * of our public education to i finter discontent and restless ambition , among our American > until of both se > xcH , i giving them a illstastu for the avocations for which they are bent fitted by nutiiie , or | In vvhldi they could best he-cure a reasonable Independence of character nnd a respectable living. Inste-ad. they rushed to the gieat cities , where * the great majoilty of them must fall to fulfill the ambitions that made the'in glvo up the quiet but comparatively Independent life of the farm , and where tens of thousands of them lose doth virtue and hope In the fierce utrugKlei for food anil raiment IlUhop Worthlngton gave his judgment freely on a subject most vital to the hist Interests of the nation and of the youth of the land without any reference , In his own mind at all events , to the pending political conditions In Nebraska or elsu- where and without any special refctenee to ono class of ne-opln or another , hero or anywhere - where else In the land It was glvtn , un fortunately , during the fierce heat of on embittered political campaign and follow ing , as It did , on what ho said of the po- lltlial situation the words used wcro made to have a political significance- which was wholly unwarranted by the facts In the case lllaliop Worthlngton Is not foolish enough to have the children of the farmers or of any other class of people kept In Ignorance , but ho docs think the state Is frittering awny the money of the people/ and the time and wedfaro of multitudes of their children In affording them opportunity to waste several precious jears In their vain effort to acquire an education for which they are unfitted by natural ability or temper , whether they arc the children of fanners or financiers.
