Moat of the delegates to the democratic
fifatn innvnntlnn will rn tri T.lnnnlti Qunrlav
to be on the ground early. Uut little Is
known hero an to the personnel of the'
candidates for positions ob delegates to tho
national convention, If thero be any. M.
V. Harrington of O'Neill la mentioned ih otie
und John A. Crelghton of this city as an-
other, wbllo R. U Mctcalfo la candldato for
dcrbgato-at-largo. At tho meeting of the
democratic countv committee l.mt Hniurd.iv
an effort to secure tho endorsement of John
A. Crelghton ond W. A. I'axton at tho same
tlmo was defeated, as tho Upuglas County '
Democracy refused to go on record In that
manner. Under the terms of the compro- ,
mine between the democratic factions each
Is entitled to name one of tho two delegates ,
from this district, but neither has done so. !
It Is understood that tho Jacksonlan crowd I
has selected Crelghton, but the County '
Democracy has expressed no preference, and
the Jacksonlans have not publicly announced
their selection. Members of tho county
democracy say that they have but one do
n.t tlmt ti-rint tn an 1 1
Lincoln in a position to confer with other j
counties that may have aspirants.
nn ihlrnf that the Countv Democracy I
forces are determined to do at tho conven- ,
tlon next Monday Is to work for a rcorgonl- ,
zatlon of the slate committee. The member-
.shin of that organization want to see
Dahlman, Hcrdman, Maret, et. nt., retired
from the head of the state organization,
oven though It Is urged that the reorganiza
tion Is not due until the nominating con-
ventlon In tho fall. Ieo Herdman Is quoted theater at least a No. 2 company rather than
by members of tho County Democracy as nu- a barnstorming outfit which should confine
thorlty for the wtatement that tho selection Its Held of operations to agricultural dls
of ofllcers for the reorganization has already trlets. Kortunately the engagement was for
been made, and that Mr. Ilryan wants his two performances only, nratlnco and evening,
brother-in-law. Tom Allen, mado chairman
and llenton Maret secretary. Meantime, re
gardless of this report, tho County Democracy
is going to tho convention prepared to push
the claims of W. W. McCombs of . this
county for tho Bocreturyshlp, and It Is
claimed that even Mr. Ilryan can hardly af
ford to stand In the way of th Douglas
county aspirant.

AMUSEMENTS
"Sci'rcl ter lei1"
Ono of tho largest audiences of the season
attended Iloyd's theater Thursday evening to
witness the buichery of William Olllett'n
pretty little drama by a company that did
not rlso ovpn to the level of me'dlocrlty.
"Secret Sorvlco" was seen In this city two

which, however, proved to be a disappoint-

At the Klrst Congregational church last
night a musical program was given under
the auspices of the Woman's Club chorus,
an aggregation of members who meet once
a week for tho purpose of learning some-
I"" I'lm
thK ,)0tt rlmra, .ork um,cr tlu tralnlnK
It would bo manifestly
unfair to criticise the chorus from a stand
point of aesthetic tone, color, stylo or finish.
It Is composed of a number of voices, moro
or Ichr fresh, more or less pleasant, and
from the Ktandpolnt of volume all that ono
might desire. The altos were particularly
noticeable and the work of that section was
most commendable. The works which were
BUI1K wero nult ambitious and perhaps a
' '
more simple composition would have been
i more satisfactory than tho Chumlnarte num
ber, which was, to say the least, an erratic
and ImprcMslonless composition.
'.Mr. (larelBsen made a graceful conductor
and it Is hoped that he may appear under
more favorable circumstances. He has an
amount of snap, vim ami grace in his man
nor and hlfl mnslclanly interpretations are
suggestive of a well stored mind. His sing
ing of an excerpt from the "Perelan (inr
den" music was well received, his lower
tones being especially comforting.
Mrs. Weakley confirmed the good Impres
sion which she made some time ago under
the same auspices and of which full men
tion was made in Tho Dee. If she will no
tice the presence of nn unfortunate ten
dency to Hlur some of her tones Instead of
giving a clean attack Bho will removo the
only apparent unpleasantness In her mag
nificent voice and artistic work.
Miss Jean lloyd Mullen was a participant
in the choral selections, singing a short
solo In each. Carl Smith played some 'colli
solo and Innumerable encores. His work
was not altogether up to his usual standard.
Miss (Irace Hancock was a genuine surprise
as nn accompanist, playing her various num
tiers with nn ease and authority that chal
lenged admiration. The next recital will be
an Interesting song recital by Mr. fiarelssen
KEMP CHARGED WITH ARSON
III l'ri'llniliinry i:iiiuliinlloii l ow
In I'l'nmrcKN lli'fiiri Police
liiiluc (ionton.
The preliminary examination of Donald
Kemp occupied the Mono in tho police court
Thursday afternoon. Kemp Is charged with
setting lire to the dwelling owned bv his
wife, formnrlv Mrs. .Icnrcvs nt "Tun sn,ih
Tenth street, for tho purposo or obtaining
the insurance. From the nvlilcncn nl.
sub
mltted It is tho theory of tho state
that
Kemp saturated a pile of excelsior and rags
with coal oil and ignited tho stuff in one
of tho closets of tho house, leaving tho
premises nfter tho tiro had been started.
Tho first witness examined was Captain
Miller of hook nnd ladder truck No. 3, who
testified to finding n lot of excelsior In one
of the rooms, which appeared to have been
saturated with coal oil. Ho went Into do
tails regarding the location of the Ilro In
the building to tdiow that It could not huve
caught from tho kitchen stove nor from
the flues in tho ordinary way.
Joseph Hoffman, a fireman, testified to
finding a quantity of oil-soaked rags Bluffed
Into a hole In tho lath and plaster walls
under tho Hue In tho room near the closet.
Assistant Chief Salter testified to practic
ally tho same facts.
Insurance agents wero Introduced to show
the amount of the Insurance carried by Mrs.
Kemp, which wns $750 on the dwelling and
$500 on the furniture.
The state had not completed Its testimony
when, becauso of tho nbsenco of witnesses.
It asked for a continuance until this morn
ing. Then by leave of cuurt the defense In
troduced the evidence of J. A. Tuttlo and
W. J. Perry. Mr. Tuttlo testified that tho
defendant was at his place of business In
Omaha an hour or moro before the fire
broke out. nnd Mr. Perry, In addition to
corroborating theso facts, stated that tho
defendant had long been n trusted employe
of his llrm, in whom they had the utmost
"onfldciice. The cuso will bo resumed this
morning nt 10 o'clock.

It ts reported unauthorltatlvely that W. S.
Poppleton has expressed a determination not
to accept the gubernatorial appolntmcut nB
I member of the dummy Ilro and police com
lelSHion nnd Inheritor of a sham lawbUit.
1 Mr Poppleton U said to favor the appoint
I incut of Frank Weaver, ono of tho Jack
soman favorites, In his stead. Weaver Is
the ninn who, a, tho recent democratic
i county convention, moved an adjournment
ur.il a date after tho time for filing cer
i tlllcatcs of nomination had expired. In which
I action he was tho mouthpleco of the Jack
j ho n Inn crowd, who wero bent on sidetrack
i Ing both llurkley and Poppleton.
By this action Mr. Poppleton proves that
the charge that he Is not n mixer was rea
sonably well founded It Is conceded that
Ibis membership in this committee would
r
certainly make It mixture and It Is a far
cry from tho mayoralty to a dummy police

No Humiliation tor police jinli;e.
The ticket mentlotml above was nominated
afternoon after any number of parleys and
recesses.
At tho start the convention was called tJ
order by J. J. Murphy nnd John Fitzgerald
w.i (-elected as chairman and James Shcc
han secretary. After tho committer on
credentials had seated thu sixteen dele
gates tho nominations proceeded. Tom
Ilrcnnati nnd F. J. Froltng were nominated
for mayor and Frcltag receiving the low
vote tho nomination was made unanimous
for Dronn.m.
Mr. Ilrennnn was called for and made a
peech, In which he asserted that If elected
ho would look after tho taxpayers' Inter-
CftS.
About this tlmo some ono noticed Knsor
In tbo crowd and cries for a speech were
made. Knsor strolled up to tho platform
nnd was given three cheers. Ho mado a long
talk, thu substance of which was that he
was a democrat and would support the
nominee for mayor. Ho further said that
ho was a Tom Hrcnnau democrat nnd that
Rreunan wns good enougn for the demo
crats to nominate he was good enough for
the democracy to support. Elisor's remarks
wero received with cheers nnd ho was ac
corded a hearty reception when ho left tho
speakers' stand.
In order to secure a treasurer a. rcce!i
of nn hour -was taken and P. J. Hack
was nominated. Following this came tho
nomination of Charley Curtis for clerk.
ater on In tho scfeslon Curtis declined
the honor and his place was tilled by Sam
Bhrlglcy.
After falling to be nominated as mayor
M Johnston tried to break In as treasurer,
but ho failed to secure the requisite num
ber of votes.
Theto was little or no trouble about nom
inating members for the city council or
candidates for tho Hoard of l'ducntlon. Tho
slate had been broken nt tho start and It
remained "busted" to the finish.
Bd Johnston waa ono of thu most down
hearted men In tho crowd, tor he fully ex
pected tho nomination, but Hrennan re
fused to lot go and Insisted upon his dele
gates voting for Hrennan and no ono else.
It was openly statu! after tho nomina
tions that the convention had turned down
a number of line offers and It whb as freely
stated that tho nominations hnd been mado
on thu merits of tho candidates.
Thero was llttlo disorder, only ono fight
between dclegatrs ensued and this was of
short duration. Taken as a wholo in tha
light of democrncy the convention was a
success.
Itppulillenn Convention Toilny.
Republican primaries yesterday resulted
in tho election of the Kelly delegations In
the Socond and Fourth wards, the Tralnor
delegation In tho Third ward and tho Sla-
baugh delegation In tho First ward.
Thero was no contest In any ward ex
cept tho First and there Kelly and Sla-
baugh had n battle. It was a tight of thu
factions nnd from nppearances the antl
Kellyltes won. When It comm to tho con
vention today Kelly will have three dele-
gallons, as It Is reportod that ho has mado
friends with tho Tralnor people and will
bo ablo to control the full vote of tho Third
ward.
Slabaugh won In the First ward by an
oven hundred votes nnd his friends expect
to control the delegations today by tho force
of numbers, or strictly speaking, tho num
her of votes in tho First ward.
Tho convention will bo held at Modern
Woodman hall at 2:30 o'clock this alter
noon.

In connection with his defeat nt the pri
marles Wednesday Mayor Knsor said yes
terday: "I was slain by those whoso sins
have borne." Ho did not appear to take
his dnfeat to henrt. but moved about among
tho democracy at the convention Just ns
If nothing had happened. In private con.
vcrsatlon tlie mayor Bald that tho people
he had supported and kept had gone against
him nt tho trying moment and had thrown
him down for another. Ho promises to sup
port tho entlro democratic ticket and says
that ho Is a Tom Hrennan democrat.
The Aiiiii'iill Problem.
On the annexation problem Mayor Ensor
says that he stands where ho always did
und will submit tho proposition nt any
time. Ho Is willing to put it to a voto of
thn neonlo and if necessary will call
special meeting of tho city council for tho
purpose. It Is possible that tho commer
cial clubs of the two cltlts will bring tin
matter to a focus .before tho election on

Scheme to Work Cimui'i'ii for n Mailt
I'll vntc Minp,
There Is ground for fc.uing that the ex
cellent bill recently sent by the postmaster
general to congress, authorizing tho issue
of reply envelopes and reply cards, to bo
transmitted thiough the malls without pre
payment of postage, will be "aniended" out
oi snnpe, arter all. in the interest or u
private niont'v -linking venture. For years
the Kconoinlc Postage association has been
houndlntr concress tor legislation to ulve It
ii monopoly of the business of Issuing sih h
onvelope.4 and cards, reports the Washing
ton correspondent or the Hoston Transcript.
It owns patents of the broadest charucti-r.
covering envelopes and cards so made us to
nave a periorateu coupon attached to their
main body. The Idea of this Is to enable
tho letter earlier who ilr-llvio-M n linteli nf
such mall to tear off the coupons, present
the to the addressees nnd collect the
postnge due on them. The bill tccommetide.i
by tho postmaster general lias no such
coupon fcdture and therefore proposes no
violation or patents. As the plan has been
worked out by Third Assistant I'n.stm.isier
General .Madden It will operate like this:
an insurance agent drumming up luisl
ness for Ills company sends to a possible
patron a printed blunk contalnlntj iiuestlons
for him to answer c oiiernlnir his hbl. .
cupatlon, etc.. with the view to offering lilm
tne miviuiiHgo of n certain low premium
rate. He Incloses with this u tclr.ii,i,liou,..i
envelope for reply. It Is useless to send this
envelope unstamped, yet the stamus oni 2
cents aim. as experience shows that an
averaire of only one In ten of
stamped envelopes enmes b;uk. the chances
are against his ever seeing either his an
swer or ins ; cenis. tup single stamp doi
not mean a serious loss, hut i,im stamps
mean J.H) and in n good-sized business tills
becomes an Item of some account. The
government, meanwhile, saves iiothlnir on
tho wasted stanin. for the receiver r ii i
almost every lnstanco makes use of it in
ins own correspondence.
n steps the Economic Postage associa
tion and pro)oses that It shall be permitted
to sell the insurance uvent n iviinni
envelope wilb h costs lilm onlv a llttlo more
than the paper and printing, if he in
closes this there Is no stamp to tempt bis
i'"--""", l'.' io wiirinoni un answer, bill
the patron can till out the hlnnk and mall

later a letter currier lavs It un Hie insurant e

Apart wholly from Its monopolistic fca
tiiro this plan is open to three ob(., tons
First, thete Is a liability of the coupons to
