to rescind Its former action In selecting the
Mallard property on First axcmip as the sitr

volved the school dlstilct In further litiga

this new suit and the Slack Peterson Injunc

will be many months before any attempt tc
put up the much needed now building can
be made.
The new litigation comes In the n.ituro of
an appeal taken by H.V. . Hinder , the well
known real estate dealer , to the county su
perintendent from the action of the school
board In selecting the HalUrcl property as .1
site for the new High bchool building. The
petition filed with Countv Superintendent

The law provides that In case of an appeal
to the county superintendent from the action
of the school board such appeal must he
filed with him within thirty dajs from the
date of the action complained of. In this
case the action of the board appealed from
was taken at the meeting on December IS ,
therefore the appeal had to be filed on or be
fore last Wednesday , January 17. Owing to
the absence of County Superintendent Mc
Manus from the city on that date the ques
tion may arise , it was said yesterday ,
whether the papers had been filed within the
required time. The appeal Is dated Jnnuaiy
17 and the attorneys for H. W. Hinder , In
the absence of the county superintendent ,
left the papers with the county attorney ,
who handed them to Prof McManus jester-
day morning on his return to this city. The
county superintendent endorsed the papers
as being filed January 1G , a day before they
were oven made out.

the names of Fred Peterson , nt present
dl .rlct court bailiff , and Carl Morgan are

Crury and Kd C Hrov.ii arc said to be
avowed candidates for the republican nomi

prominent In ward politics for several year <
and Is an ardent supporter of former Pollr'
Chief Hlxby. In the fourth ward. It Is salt' '
that Slack Peterson will be Uic republican

honor Alderman Sayles with a renomlna-
tlon , while the dcmrcrats will do the paint

this ward so far Is that of W. C , Hoyer , ami
It Is generally conceded that he can have
his party's nomination If ho wanln It.
For city attorney , S U Wndsvvorth , the
piesent Incumbent , will undoubtedly bo re-
nominated by the democrats The choice
of the icpiibllcans will depend , It Is said , tc
a great extent on the federal Judgeehlp ,
In the event of Judge Smith being appointed
to succeed the late JudRo Woolson , It vvoulil
leave n vacancy to be filled on the I'lstrlol
bench 0 D Wheeler Is a candidate lei
succeed Judge Smith In the event of thr
latter being appointed federal judge. In
the event of the federal judgcshlp golnp
el ? whcre than heio , Wheeler will he n
candidate for city attorney. The friend5
of John M. Oiilvln are urging his candi

bom of the bar ate also said to be aspirants
for the city attoineyshlp.
llrooks Heed will , If he wants It , receive
a renonilnatlon foi city treasurer at the
hands of his party. So far no name hae
been mentioned piomlnently as likely to
bo the republican candidate , although some
talk has been had of W. M. Shepard , the
former county recorder , being u possible
aspirant.
City Auditor Evans , the only republican
city official elected two yeari ago , will have
no opposition In securing a renonilnutlou
and his nomination is conceded to be equal
to election. Fred W. Spctm.in Is the only
name mentioned by the democrats for this
olllee.
Tor city engineer Sam Ktnyrc , the pies-
cnt Incumbent , will go before bin paity
convention seeking a lenomlimtlon and will
probably get it. So far outside of Thomas
Tostevln , no names have ocen mentioned
among the republicans as likely candidates.
Tom Johnson will probably bo the icpuh-
lican nominee for Iwelghmaster , although
other aspirants may show up bcfoic the
convention. William Hlggeson , the present
democratic Incumbent , will bo out for a
rcnomlnatlon.
So far no names have been mentioned by
either party In connection with the olll'c
of assessor. W. D Hardln , who has held
the place for many years , is no-w working
for the Union Pacific railway , and It Is said
will not be a candidate.
The two members of the school board
whose terms expire InMarch are President
Sims and William Moore. It Is understood
that neither will seek renomlnatloii The
High school site question Is calculated to

county jail. Her friends failed to furnish
the nocebsaiy $3,000 bond yesterday to re-

Ho failed to arrive , however , and Mrs. Yntes
was compelled to spend another night In thu

quest of the woman's attorneys , issue ! an

SIOUX CITY , Jan. iho ( Special Tele

Illed in this city It developed that the Acme
Hicycle company of Klkhart , Ind. , recently
was vlctlmi7ed to thcewtent , pf SOO wheels
by a clever gang oDOblriiso swlndleis The
names of three of thu igang are known , but
the fourth Is said to pp a lawyer and his
name is unknown here. , . It appears that the
scheme was englnecfcd uy I'eler Krummcr.
The stoiy as given by the attorneyb here Is
as follows :
In some way Krilmmcr got a lot of Chicago
cage property deeded to a man named
Pomcroy. Pomeroy proceeded then to get a
lating somewhere from $250,000 to $500,000
in the commercial agencies They then dis
patched a man named Weber , formerly of
Chadron , Neb. , to Klkhart , Ind , to buy a
large consignment of Acme wheels. When
asked for his ability to pay Wejber produced
Pomcroy's guarantee of the payment of the
bill. Pomeioy's rating was reported as
fcalisfictory. That same day Pomeroy
cleedpd back the property and then the gang
proceeded to dispose of the wheels They
had been shipped to Chadron , Neb. , and
thpneo one-half to Sioux City The others
wrro distributed about in different parts of
Nebraska. The cycle companv discovered
the fraud and at once started out to locate
its property. It has recoveied most of It anJ

There nro now four recognized orators In
the senate , pays the Washingtoa Pobt , and ,
cutiously enough , they aie equally divided
between the two sides of the chamber , al
though all four are republicans. On one
side are Senators Lodge and \Volcott , who
hive been In the senate for \ears , while
Senatorb Uepew and Ilevcrldge lire the new
comers. Hcverldgo made his debut In his
hpeech eu the Philippines while Depew's
firbt effort was his graceful and eloquent
eulogy of the Into Vice Picblcli-nt Hobart
There Is much good-natured rivalry bstvveen
the two sides of the chamber and Senator
Chandler has bec-n selected as the referee
to deildo upon the merits of the respective
oiat is.
Senator Lolgo's chief characteristics are
a finished style , a clear and logical exprcs-
Flon of thought , a quiet dlgnlU of state
ment und , i happy faculty of picientlng his
rtigiiment in convincing innnnei Senator
Wolcott Is more ornate and rhythmic , his
sirtcnofH being as well-balanced as though
ho v.cro reciting blank vorte , anl his voice
and manner adding to the effeiilvcnesa of
lili utterances. Senator Dcpew iwssesses n
boft and musical \olco , a wondc-fully clear
onmu'liitlon , each syllable being gl\en its
tiuo value , and his sentences are polished
to the highest degree. Senator Bevcrldge's

exaggeration than to under-statcinent IIo
