Tlicro seems to bo no end to the Jumble
In the returns from Council IllulT.i and
I'oltavvatlamlo county. 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.

P. II. 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.
This request was not granted and the pro
test not given any olllclal recognition.
The county board made the < | iiattcrly set
tlement with the overscei of the poor Mr.

boon sent to the hospital ! ) for treatment.
The cost of caring for the poor during Sep
tember and October was $1,301 67 This In
cluded all expenses for groceries , fuel ,
medlcnl treatment , burials and other mat
ters. Muring the same tlmo last jear the
cost of cailug for the poor was $ J,08S.12 ,
bhoning : ' saving of $72fi 15.
Druce Dcnllcr , the retiring member of the
boatd , was tendered a pleasant surprise je.s-
teiday by the other members In the shape
of a gold watch and chain as a rrmembtance
of their pl"f-ant associations. County At
torney Saur.ut rs made on appropriate pres
entation speech , to which Mr. Dentlcr
icspnndol feelingly. It has been the custom
of the board to remember the ictlrlng mem
bers In fomc manner and these little ex
change of courtesies forms ono of the bright
sprits In a lather monotonous gilnil of duty.

A man who wished to make sure that an
ailing child In n bed in an adjoining room
Kept covered through the night , and who
before he went to sleep himself made a
mental memorandum to the effect that ho
must not Bleep without waking mote than
an hour or two , teally fell Into a very
bound slumber. Hut In the midst of It.
relates the Ilos'ori Transctlpt , ho was
awakened by apparently heating the bell
of the town clock not far away ttrlke G
o'clock all the btrokcs falling clearlj
one , two , three , four , five , s'x. ' Now , this
man Is accustomed to rise every morning
at C o'clock , and seldom bleeps p.ibt that
hour ; It has long been for him the end of
the night and the bqglriulng of the day. 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. "
The false summons worked llko a charm.
Such things make more than Alice In Won
derland "play that they re two people. "

A IVlillN.i iMinlll Parrot Who Ivnrn
tin * \ aliuof a Coed Iliinil.
Parrot stories are alwajs gcexl so long as
the-y are true. 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. ' "
"That'H pretty d d good , " quickly catno
In till too distinct tones from the parrot's
CBKO. "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.
As It vvas only the peculiar patness of the
bird's sally saved the day.

OMM1A. 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.
