not supposed there will be any other nomlna

conlrolla the city nominations without op

HOLDREGE. Neb. . March 21. ( Special. )
A caucus was hold at the court house Friday
night , nt which the following ticket was

englucor , S. Hutchison ; Hoard of Education
N. Kromiulst , D. U. Smith nnd A. P. Erlck
son ; councilman for East ward , John W
Anderson ; councilman for Weat ward , W1I
Ham Kochcr. This caucus was held by the
lilgh license clement , although It was called
the "republican caucus" and was made ui
of democrats. They decided to head the
ticket with "for license ; against license'
and let the voter mark as he wished. Since
the caucus was held , D. D. Smith nnd N
Krouqulsl , tlio nominees for Hoard of Edu
cation , have resigned , as also have Wllllair
Kocher nnd John W. Anderson , the noml
nccs for councilman. Tno city has alnayi
boon high license , but the revival this winter
has converted many of the former hlgl

ono and ought to win , although politics are
sadly mixed In this town , which claims the

II. Splccr and at the tlmo of the sale Mr.
Hair was owing lita chief clerk , Charles
Adams , a largo sum of money for services
and money loaned. Mr. Hair left for Chicago
cage without paying Adams any part of his
dues. In the deal between Hair and Splcer
an eighty-acre farm was traded to Mr. Hair
as part payment. As soon as Adams had
learned of .Mr. Hair's sudden departure ho
commenced suit In the district court and
attached the farm. Sonn after the attach
ment was levied a deed was put on record ,

PLATTS.MOUTH , Neb. , March 21. ( Spe
cial. ) A case Involving a principle of some
moment wag tried before Judge Ramsay In
district court last week under the title of
I. Dunn against Cass county. The suit was
merely for the collection of a balance of an
account held by plaintiff against the county ,
the payment of which was refused by the
Board of Commissioners for very cogent rea
sons. Last August Sheriff Holloway had
eleven prisoners confined In the county Jail.
An effort had been made by the Inmates to
break out by wrenching the bars from ono
of the windows and In order to frustrate
any attempt on their part to get away the
sheriff hired Dunn to watch the Jail on the
outside. The commissioners wcro apprised
ot that action , and the board Immediately
ordered the Jail to bo repaired. This was
done. Then the commissioners advised the
sheriff that the extra guard was unneces
sary. The sheriff , however , persisted In
retaining the guard , and when the bill was
presented for $ -10 the commissioners allowed
only $6 and refused to pay the balance.
When the suit for the $10 came up for
trial County Attorney A. J. Graves pre
sented the county's sldo of the case , arguing
from the standpoint that It the commission
ers were deprived of authority to regulate
the expenses of the county any official could
hlro all the extra help he had a mind to
and the board would have to allow the bills ,
right or wrong. The county attorney brought
out the fact from the sheriff that , as events
had proved , an extra guard was Just as
necessary when the Jail contained only two
prisoners M when It held a dozen , and ho
scored on several other Important points.
The case was taken under advisement by
Judge Ramsay and his decision Is awaited
wltli considerable Interest.

PREPARING 1FFOR | THE CITY ELECTION
Jtmt Four Wevltn Homnlii In AVIilcli to

litical Hlcaiuttln Arc
Their Ctiiullilnlcn.
Just four weeks remain In which to win
or los the administration of munclpal af
fairs for the next thrco years , and accordIng -
Ing , to present Indications the conventions
will occur about In the middle of this period.
The effort of Mayor Uroatch and his sup
porters In force the Crawford system on the
city central commltteo seems to have been
effectually squelched and It Is now under
stood that the commutes will be called to
gether some tlmo this week and the call for
the primaries and convention Issued. The
expressions of members of the committee
Indicate that the ecntlmcnt Is favorable to
having the primaries Immediately after
those of the democrats and this would mean
that about two weeks would remain
between the convention nnd the elec
tion. Most of tbo candidates are
heartily In favor of making the cam
paign an short as possible. It was only a
few months ago that most of them went
through a race for office and now that they
are compelled to begin all over again they
want the agony cut as short as possible.
It Is pretty well established that the men
who are displaced by the new charter will
accept the situation as they Hnd It. As a
matter of fact , all talk of contesting the
charter In the courts has been confined to
appointive ofllcers who were permanently
sidetracked and to one or two councilman
who cannot hope to be re-elected. Nine out
of ten of the republicans who are directly
Interested In the matter are emphatically
In favor of allowing the election to proceed
without obstruction , They declare that n
republican victory Is practically assured at
this time If the right sort of a ticket Is
nominated , while It the election was post
poned until fall the public sentiment against
some of the provisions of the charter and
the men who arc responsible for them would
In some degree subside. There are several
features of the situation that Indicate to
the republican leaders that no moro favorable
time could bo selected In which to go be
fore the people , and talk of making a legal
fight Is generally frowned down. A good
deal of pressure has been brought to bear
on Mayor Broatch to Induce him to refuse
to cali the election and thus compel the
fuslonlsts to apply for a writ of mandamus.
This would open the way for a Judicial con
sideration of the constitutionality of the
charter , but the mayor's friends are telling
him that the people are Just waiting for
an opportunity to re-elect him and ho Is
not likely ten pose as an obstructionist.
MAYORALTY FIGHT SIMMERS DOWN.
The mayoralty fight has simmered down
somewhat during" the past \v ek on both
sides , The alleged refusal of ex-Governor
Boyd to bo a fusion candidate Is received
with satlsfacjtl&n | by the republicans , who
now expect that Senator Howell will un
doubtedly bothe , democratic nominee. They
claim that Howell cannot hold the fusion
vote and thai his legislative record will not
Increase his chances of election.
The contest for the republican nomination
Is also less compllpated. Eeveral of the can
didates have .pulled out nnd there ore now
only two or three' men who can bo consid
ered actual cnridldatss. As a matter of fact
Frank E. Mo'ores nnd W. J. Droatch are the
only candidates who are making an active
campaign. Q. ! * Chaffeo wants the Seventh
ward delegation , and ono or two other ward
delegations will probably give a complimen
tary vote to .soirio .favorite . son. But all the
Indtca ons 'are .that the contest Is rapidly
settling Into a race between Uroatch and
Moorcs. If this comes about , as now seems
probable , there Is little In the situation to
encourage 'Mr. Broatch. One weakness of
hla candidacy Is the fact that nearly all
the strong candidates for other offices are
opposed to him. Some of them are his op
ponents on personal grounds and others for
the reaoon that they fear that his nomination
will weaken the whole ticket. As a rule the
candidates for ro-electlon are taking no part
in the mayorallty contest. But with ono or
two exceptions they do not want Broatch
nominated.
JJIIOATCH HAS LITTLE STRENGTH.
According to the opinions of politicians
who consider themselves In touch with the
situation , Broatch has no chance to carry
anything except the First and Second wards.
In the First Pete Back and Leo Estelle are o
managing 'Tils ' campaign. It Is said that S
there Is a possibility that Broatch may get
a part of the delegation , In the Second Frank
Kasper and W. W. IJlngham will select the
delegation , and as both are candidates there
will bo little left to trade In Broatch's Inter
est. In any case Broatch could only count
on Kaspcr's half of the delegation.
There may be n contest In the Third ward
where Broatch Is said to have the support
of the same clement that has euppqrted him
In previous campaigns. In the Fourth ward
the two candidates will fight It out between
them and Moorcs Is regarded as an easy
winner. The prophets glvo the Sixth and
Eighth wards to Moores and the Fifth , Sev
enth and Ninth to Saunders , Chaffeo and
Evans respectively. They claim that the
delegations last-named will have Moorcs for
second choice.
On the other hand , the Broatch managers
claim that ho has a cinch on the nomina
tion. They say they can Induce the people
to think that every on who Is against
Broatch Is against municipal ownership and
that ho will win out on that proposition.
The Broatdj campaign Is being conducted
on that line. His supporters are working
the graft for all It Is worth , but with what
success Is not Indicated.
For a new ofllco the tax commlsslonershlp
Is proving a drawing card. Now ) candidates
for the position are springing up every day
and there are already a dozen full-fledged
booms In active competition , Among them
are : Frank J. Ksspar , William Fleming. J , }
E. VanGlld'jr , George Munro , Jonathan Ed
wards , Dudley Smith , W. G. Schrlver and
George N. Hicks. A. P. Tukey , Lewis S. ,

getting Jackson and Walling to help him out

over to Postal Inspector Salmon , who sent
them to the district attorney at Indianapolis

such use of the malls , Wood was Indicted
over a year ago on the charge of abetting
an abortion. Wood has not been at his home

CINCINNATI , O. , March 21. The En
quirer's special from Frankfort , Ky. , says :
Governor Bradley told two friends In his
office the day before yesterday that no mat
ter what was the result of the present sena-
torlal fight , ho would resign the ofllco of gov
ernor Immediately after the expiration of
the extra session. Ho tonight declined to
discuss the matter , but told another friend
the same thing this afternoon , That such
Is his Intention has been known to those In
hla confidence for several weeks , but that
ho did not wont to authorize the statement as
yet Is emphasized by his evident annoyance
that what he confided to friends has become
public. However , the few political friends
who have heard the story say the governor's
Intention having become public , now may
result In making more probable his election
over Hunter on Tuesday or Wednesday.
They argue that the chief reason why some
gold democrats refuse to go Into a coalition
to elect Bradley Is that It would fence the
gubernatorial election this fall , which they
have their own reasons for not wanting done.
Prominent politicians from ull over the state
are arriving here to take part In the flght
for and against Hunter , Ihe nominee , nnd
Bradley , who refuses to bo deposed by even
the Influence ot the national administration.

WASHINGTON. .March 21. The program
of the tariff debate , which opens In the house
tomorrow , la simple , but nnhiotis. The house
will sit from 10 o'clock In the morning until
10 o'clock p. in. , with n recess from G until S
each day for dinner. The general debate will
close Thursday night. Ilcglnnlng Friday the
bill will bo read for amendments under the
flvo-mlmtto rule until 3 o'clock on the follow
ing Wednesday , March 31 , when tho.blll nnd
pending amendments will be voted upon.
The committee on ways nnd means , by the
terms of the special order under which the
house wilt operate , will have the right of
way In the matter of amendments and such
amendments can at any tlmo supersede pend
ing amendments of Individual members , n
provision made to gtvo the comtntttco the
fullest power to perfect their bill. The debate -
bate will bo opened by Mr. Dlngley , the
chairman of the ways and means committee ,
for the majority. Klthcr Mr. Ilalley of Texas ,
the selected leader of the minority , or Me-
Mlllln of Tennessee , will reply. Mr. Ilalley
has tendered to Mr. McMlllln this privilege
In deference to his long service on the ways
and means committee , but It Is not yet de
cided whether the latter will avail himself
of the proffer. The night sessions of the
house during the general debate will be
given [ up almost entirely to set speeches by
new member * who dwlro to get tliolr views
In the Congressional llccord for tbc benefit
of their constituents. When the Wilson bill
was under discussion the time at the night
sessions was not consumed and there Is
likely to bo a repetition of lack of speakers
on thin occasion , as member. ' ] under the order
aru given leave to print and many of them
will take advantage of this opportunity with
out taking the floor.
WILL. UUSII APPUOI'UIATIONS.
The senate will devote the major portion
of the w ch to the consideration of the
Anglo-American arbitration treaty. If the
appropriation bills which have passad the
house as they wore agreed upon In the last
session should be reported to the senate they
probably will receive prompt attention.
There Is a possibility that tlieso bills may
not be taken up Immediately In committee
owing to the absenceof senate committee
members. It la oho possible that when re
ported they may bo somewhat changed , or
If not changed In committee , they will b ? In
the senate. Many senators have propositions
which they are anxious to see enacted Into
law , and they ore not disposed to forego this
chance of getting them through. The demo
cratic leaders may consider It wise party
policy to hold the appropriation bills up
until the republican policy In the senate
with reference to the tariff Is developed.
Senator Allison , chairman of the appropria
tions committee , will exert himself to se
cure speedy consideration of the bills. There
Is little prospect of committee work until
the committee vacancies are filled. The two
sides of the chamber arc holding out against
each other , each contending for concessions
which the other refuses to make. The demo
crats still Insist on being allowed to fill all
the places vacated by the retirement by
democratic senators , while the republicans
contend that the silver republicans and the
populists should be charged to the demo
crats. Upon the adjustment of this differ
ence the whole matter depends. Some way
out of the difficulty ultimately will bo found ,
but the opening has not yet presented Itself.

Multifile } ' RcfuNi'H to Appoint Him Ax- T
Hlntaiit Secretary of War.
WASHINGTON.March 21. Colonel Harrison
Gray Otis of California will not be assistant
secretary of war. Thlo conclusion was
reached after a conversation In the cabinet
room between the president , Secretary of
War Alger and Colonel Otis. The decision
ivas readied not because Colonel Otia was
jpposed by the International Typographical SI
jnlon and not because he would have be'n SIu
inacceptablo to Secretary Algcr , but because u
f his geographical location. Had Colonel 01 )
3tls been a resident of Washington , Oregon , 01n
daho , Nevada , any state in fact tlmt Islet n 1
Ni
lot represented In President McKlnley's cabi- CO
let , ho would probably have been appointed stt
o succeed Joseph 13. Doe , the flrat osrirttaut tin
ecratary of war , whoso resignation has al- fo
eady been accepted. Colonel Otis was Sec IIIye
etary Alger's second choice for the place ; ye
lib first being a man from Michigan , whom
ho secretary asked tlia president as a pcr-
onal favor to appoint. President McKlniey
nformed Secretary Alger that he would be
cry glad to honor tlio request , but lie could
lot consistently do so , as It would not dc
give too much prominence to ono state [
loloncl Otis Is a personal friend of the prcsl-
cnt. They served together In the Twenty-
'hlrd Ohio regiment In the civil war , nnl
later years became fact friends. Lc
Several times within the past few
ears Colonel Otis has visited :
'resident McKlnloy nt his Canton home. :
Wien the fight for delegates was being .mailo :
California , Colonel Otu succeeded In cap- i :
jrlng : several delegates for Major McKlnloy ,
ml later In the campaign , after the St. Louis Ol -
onvcntion , he worked for MoKluloy and the
epubllcan ticket. Mr. AIcKlnloy , when :
leeted , extended an Invitation to Colonel :
Us to call at Canton , which he did some 7 :
11- :
coks before fie president came on to Wash-
igton. At that time Colonel Otis Indicated
desire to be assistant secretary of war , i-ci Or
lying that the place would bo acceptable
him , and that ho thougnt ho would prove :
good assistant , In vlow of ills pinvlous Ul :
illltury training. Late : the president re-
nrsted Colonel Otis te lie In Washington
lortly after the Inauguration. Ho came nn
ere a week ago , and hurt been hero since. 10:1 : ; ;
the appointment had been made. It would
