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."

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. Is still cherishing hopes that It
can persuade him to change his mind.

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.

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.

but tho number Is hardly largo enough to
suggest that tho total will bo sufllclent to
call for a voto on the proposition.
