THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY. :rAttdT 1, 1000. Tl 11 ADMIT TUC rVWfmirV II l JLiU nUUUl JUL UUllrtlUllI" No O&uia for Confmion About Registration RtqulremenU. VHAT VOTERS MUST REGISTER SATURDAY I'crilnont Pointer tin- Cnnill. diitrn W'Iki Arc Seclilim I'tilille I'lltnr fur I lie lniii-iiitlnK t City lllcctliin. Considerable confusion seems to exist In Ihu minds of many voters n. to tlio require ments for lcKUtratlon for the comltiK tlty election. Just who will have to be regis tered In not entirely oleur to nil. For their benefit It may bo htated that the registration of last fall holds good for the city election nqd no on whose name is properly enrolled on the registration books need register again. The registrars, however, will sit one day Saturday, March 3 from S In the morning until !) o'clock In tho evening for the purpose of making nddlttous and corrections to the registration lists. Every voter who did not register last fall Irom any chiiso or who was not .eligible to vote last ir because he wua not lonR enough In the stuto or city, or who has be come of voting ago since the last election, or has been naturalized since tho liiot elec tion, should nee that his name Ih registered rm Saturday next. Voters who have moved from one precinct to another since the last election should have their nam cm transferred from the books of, one prrclnet to tho precinct where they arjo .now entitled to vote. To do thlH they miMl get a transfer from the registrars where they formerly registered and take It to the registrars of tho precinct where they now reside. According to good gnl authority, also, a voter who failed to give his political afllllu tlons when ho registered lam fall may ap pear beforo the registrars this year and have hf politics noted to enable hint to partici pate; In his party primaries during tho com ing campaign. Republicans, therefore, who neglected to have themselves recorded as re publicans should go before the registrar and pee that the correction Is made. Registration Is an all-Important duty, as nnyemu who Is not properly registered will liot bo entitled to vote at the coming elec tion next Tuesday. (lUs llcnnlngs has given his time nnd labor In bohnlf of tho republican ticket almost every year since he has been In Omaha. If lialf tho people he haa helped In politics should get nut and work for him ho would bo elected by n, two to otto vote of the Whole city. A number of Instances nre being brought to light ns Indicating tho character of the mau who is running for mayor ns the candi date, of tho silk stocking brigade. The men working in the Union I'acillc shop. recall tho fact that a few years ago they had nr tai.ved to have u base ball game between the jepresentntlves of two different departments, nud as thny were working every day of tho "week the gatno was scheduled for Sunday down on lite bottoms enst of Sixteenth street, whero It would disturb no one. Mr. I'op plrton, however, learning of their Intended diversion called In tho agent of tho Law nnd Order league and had their game stopped. Of a similar caliber waB tho treatment by Mr. I'oppletnn of a number of residents In the neighborhood of his tract of land now Incorporated In the bluff tract. These people, whoso bouses backed up against this Idle liropcrty, ono summer plowed up n small patch In tho rear of their places and planted It to vegetables and garden truck. About tbo tlmo tho earth was ready to glvo forth It. fruit Mr. I'oppletnn sent his rental agent around nnd by thrcnts of appropriating tho p'rodlict of their labor forced thum to pay rent for the use of the land on which they had exercised their right of eminent domain. Republican candidates for the council are nil' making a lively hustle among their friends. Taken ns n whole thoy nro ns lively ti set of hustlers as have been put on a ticket In this city for years. The silk stocking candidate for mayor must bavo run up ugalnst a delegation from Mis Bourl at his Third ward meeting. "I am not ii silk stocking man," ho declared; but the declaration met with such a look of unbelief that be added: "If anyone In this audience doubts my statement let him meet me after the close of this meeting." Members of Mr. Popplcton's eampnlgn committer nro wearing long faces. They called on their aristocratic stundardhourer Tuesday with n request for more lubricant for tho mnrhlnn and were turned down with a thud. It Is stated that fundi dato Poppleton refused point blank to put up any more money nnd added that he did Tint proposo to carry the whole democratic combination on his back. The committee, howevci.

Tho question will bo submitted before Judgo Dickinson In equity court Thurs day at 2 o'clock. The specific ob jection Is that the names of re publican candidates appear ahead ot fi'siou ists on tho ballot, and that the blank square Is so located that the fuslonlst voter Is liable to make a mlstako ami vote tho republican ticket, or that by placing his cross In tho wrong place, ho may lose his vote entirely.

KELLY COMES BALK TO OMAHA Alleged Embezzler of Insurance Company Funds is Under Lccal Guitolj. BOND GUARANTY COMPANY NEGOTIATES Deputy Sheriff I'ljiui In 15 n mute from (')ilcitun mIIIi Ilie I'rlioner iiuil Will Arrltr In tlio City Thin MornliiK Deputy Sheriff Thomas Flynn. who went to Chicago Sunday to tuko charge of Fred erick S. Kelly, wanted In Omaha on tho chargo of embezzlement, telegraphed Sheriff Power Wednesday afternoon that he had his prisoner In custody. The retention of Kelly in Chicago was accomplished only after nil of the red tape of executive routine had been exhausted. He was an unwilling prisoner for tho Omaha authorities and he was wise enough to cause delay In the un winding of otllclal tape. Sheriff Power made n hurried trip to Lincoln and finding both tho governor and the lieutenant gov ernor out of tho city ho had to use the long distance telephone to make his arrangements for requisition papers. Deputy Flynn will arrive in Omaha at 8-15 this morning with Kelly, lie will be taken at onco to tho eherlff's otllce and un less he hns friends who make Immediate Intervention ho will go to jail. It Is snld, however, that he will be able to glvo bond ss soon ns ho has tlmo to Interview men who knew him when he was a gallant spirit about tbo town. Absconding Irom Omuha ,i few years ago on account of an ullegod shortago with the Phoenix Insurance company, of which ho was tho local canhlcr, Kelly traveled to the Orient. Ho finally landed In the Philippine Islands and was given prominent rank there In the Improvised American colony. Ac cording to n statement ho Is alleged to have mado upon his arrival In S.m Francisco, he Is glad ho Is under custody nnd prefers punishment to tho suspense of evading the law. When Kelly left Omaha he detsrtcd i wlfo In penniless condition. She subse quently secured divorce nnd left the city. Oue of his most recent escapades was to marry n young woman In California, who know nothing of his past. It Is said. Kelly Is the son of un old nnd highly respected Lincoln family. He rebelled against coming to Omnba, but after piellmlnarles the deci sion was against him. When he was cashier of tho Phoenix Insurance company In tills city he was well known as a man about town. Tho nmount of his alleged shortage Is $0,000. Ono of tho reasons for delay In Chicago was that the bond company which entered as IiIh surety negotiated with him for Indemnity, It Is said. A. SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. As un Indication of how the High s-bool bond proposition Is being tit t by tho tax payers, ono patron ot the schools said yes terday that llvo pupils leported to their teacher that their parents had torn up the petition slips after having refused to sign them. Another patron mentioned the fact that the parents of four children had not been permitted to return the slips to the principal, as the method employed was not considered tho proper one. That general dissatisfaction will result from the method employed no ono scarcely doubts, nnd mem bers of tho Hoard of Uducatlon ure willing to admit now that tho plan Is a failure. The schemu was evolved by Dr Wolfe, and Its legality has been questioned over since the slips wero presented to tho public. Those who support Wolfo In his Ideas appear to he willing to overlook any defects In his plans nnd bold blindly to the original proposition of building a High school for 191 pupils and locating It on Twenty-second street between N nnd P. It is true that Mr. Wolfe sug gests that a portion of this expensive build ing be devoted to grade schools, but he In tends that the majority of tho expenditure shall go toward furthering his pet enter prise of a High school. In this connection ono well known member of the Hoard of Kdueatlon said last night: "Dr. Wolfe Is trying to foist himself upon the State univondty by means of the South Omaha schools and In this ho Is being uhly seconded by his friend and ally, John Fltz Roberts, Wolfo hardly expects to bo re elected superintendent of the schools here, but ho wants to obtain a pnntlge by carry ing High school bonds which will enable him to gain a footing at tbo university. Ho wants to bo chancellor, but this bo cannot accomplish without showing his capability to do something. This cannot be done unless ho succeeds In building a High school here and all efforts are now being directed toward boosting Wolfe." Anothor member of the board who lives In tho First wnnl said that Wolfe's scheme to locate tho High school building In the Second ward on ground entirely unsulted for tho samo will result in tho defeat of tho bond proposition. Ho recited Incidents whero parents had declined to return slips sent out for signatures on tho ground that the method employed was not In keeping with tho magnitude of tho enterprise and asserted that children of uncertain agca nhould not bo entrustod with documents of tho kind. Sotno slips nro being returned by pupil.", but tho number Is hardly largo enough to suggest that tho total will bo sufllclent to call for a voto on the proposition. Monthly I'Mnnneliil SlnleniPiil.
