In the First ward just seven at the chosen
gathered together at the residence of It. F ,
Wilitarns , secretary of the state silver re-
PUbilcan league. Mr. Williams and II. If.
Vail reported a lIst of delegates of which
they vere two , and the same was adopted.
In the second there was a form of a ballot.
w. C , Kelly , secretary of the county corn-
mittee , lives' In this ward , and lie proved
hIs title to the honor by securing the largest
turnout in the city. Thirteen votes vere
cast.
If a primary was held In the Third ward
it was In the secret chambers of Policeman
James Norton's residence at 1106 Chicago
Street. It was at this number that the
primary was advertised , but all inquiries
vere met by a strict denial of any knowledge
of the Important event. A thorough tour of
the vard failed to locate a lolhing idace or
anyone who knew that a priniary election
had been called ,
Iii the Fourth ward the primary was held
in the 0111cc of James W. Carr In the I3oartl
of Trade building. Mr. Carr , being chairman -
man of the county committee , hiatl a certain
modesty about naming the delegation himself
and calling into play his telephone brought
L. B , Johnson and 1) . M. Johnston to his
assistance. After caimly reviewing the sit-
untion , and maliciously striking the name
of C. Il. Scott off the prepared list and sub-
stitutiog the name of S. It. Towne , the woric
of tim primary was completed.
There was a harmonious gathering of the
Fifth. on the curb stone In front of a cigar
store on Sherman avenue near Locust.
Councilman Lobeck , Dennis J. Kehlehier , Edward -
ward J. Clark and Peter l'eterson were pres-

them today to learn If they would attend the

In the Seventh Judge Gregory held forth
single.handed and alone ( or nearly two
hours , when it finally occurred to him that
the work of selecting the delegation had
been delegated to a committee which would
announce the list 'today. and he forthwith
adjourned himself.

Mr. Doaver said last night that ho had
hearth from enough of the country precincts
to assure him a majority In the convention
today. There appears to have been little
contest in the country precincts. it was
also announced late yesterday that while
the regular Deas'er ticket In South Omaha
hind been defeated , a majorIty of the dole.
gallon elected is for him , with possibly , the
solid vote being cast in that direction , The
fight there was more of an attack upon
( lie old workers than against any particular
candidat e , V
Yelser is equally confident , but so far
as known no delegates bare been elected
for him alone. Tue only votes credited to
him are those fioni the wards where ho
tied up with Peabody. These delegations
are principally Peabody men , anti indicate
that Yelser has been the victim of a con
fidence game , This developed yesterday afternoon -
ernoon durIng a conference of Yeiser's and
Beaver's friends , by which it was sought
to form an alliance against ( be efforts of
the state house machine and local demo.
cratic gang to mix up in tht' affairs of the
populist party. Both sides of the cooler.
ence professed willingness to make any
sacrifice to accomplish this coil , but It was
found that 'i'elser's delegates , as a rule ,
were not steadlntly for him and no con-
elusion was reached ,
It is now openly charged among the populist -
list workers that the men instrumental in
bringing out Dr , Peabody as a candidate
diul so in the interest of ex.Speaher GathIn
of Saunders county , It is said they did
not dare snake a campaign for Gaflin openly
In Douglas county , and hit upon thie idea
of bringing out Peabody , trusting that his
taste of official power would tempt him to
accept ( lie prop9sitipn fi good faith and
throw his personality into the campaign.
The result in ( lie city shows that they
vlanned wehl , the only question with them
how being whether or not they have net
been too successful , The ( ear of ( lila couidt.

John F. Itoberts , president of the Board
of Education , Is advocating the scheme of
apportioning the levy into different funda
in order that the records may be kept Ia
better shape. heretofore ( lie plan lies been
to make a common fuiiiui of all the moneys
received and pay bills of all kinds as long
as the inony lasted. In one way this has
worked a hardship , us ( lie teachers are Ire-
quently called upon to discount their warrants -
rants when there should be money on hand
to pay tiip face value of these certificates
of indehitetlness. The law' specifies that the
state apportionment flutist go to this tcach-
ers' fund , but this provision has been overlooked -
looked onti ( lie amount receiveul yearly
from the state bus been dumped into the
lint and used for general purposes. I'resl-
dent Hoborts' idea is to apportion so much
of the levy to certain fuiids and to tlraw
warrants on these funds as long as there
is a balance remaining , \'lien there is no
money in Chic fund tim warrants will be
registered at the treasurer's 0111cc the same
as city warrants and will draw 7 per cent
interest from the date of registration until
paid. This plan will prevent the necessity
for discounting teachers' warrants as money
enough ivil be appropriated or this fund
to carry the teachers' pay roll through ( lie
fiscal year. For the present fiscal year it
is estimated that $25,000 will be needed for
buildings and grounds , $1,055 for furniture ,
1,400 for supplies , $2,544 for Janitors , $2,000
( or fuel and V $2,000 for miscellaneous cx-
penses , This makes it total of $34,000 ,
which has been nskeI ( for by the hoard. In
addition to ( lila there will be In the : ielgh-
borliood of $6,000 from the state , which
must go to the teachers' fund. This plait
is receiving the favorable consIderation of
a number of the members of ( lie board arid
may be adopted , it will make considerable
more worlc for the city treasurer , as by
the present system lie has only one account -
count to keep of the school moneys as nil
warrants are drawn against any money the
treasurer may have In his vossesslon ,
President lioberts states that the school
law is such thiat the board cannot very
well evade the ndoptloii of the plan lie
suggests qs regards the apportiouitng of the
money received , Ho has obtainetl legal advice -
vice on the matter and the attorneys lie
consulted told him that his idea is correct.
