Tractloa Fraaehlsa at Stake. An ordinance la. pending In the city Council to deprive the Lincoln Traction company of all further rights and privileges In the streets of the city. The company Is now operating under a franchise granted several years ago to the Lincoln Street Railway company, which Is no longer In existence. The messure was Introdnced by Councilman PenUer., Explaining his ac tion, he says he was prompted to take thli Step by tbe refusal of the traction com pany to pay Its back taxes, which are al leged by the city to amount to $110,0Q0. The taxes have long been delinquent, but the major portion of them Is In dispute In the courts. Some of the taxes claimed to tie due were assessed against street railway property that was afterward purchased by the Lincoln Traction company and a goodly percentage of the amount Is a penalty In flicted for non-payment within tbe time specified by law. In the district court a Judgment was fclren for tbe full amount claimed, but the holding was' afterward modified by the su preme court and the case remained for further proceedings. Judge Cornish now has the case under consideration and promises a decision within the next few days. He has Intimated that his decision rlll greatly reduce - the judgment given some time ago, but the city attorneys are till hopeful of saving at least hal( of the claim.

Neb.. Feb. 25. (Special.) Candidates for representative of tbe Fifth congressional district are becoming aa thick as flies about an open molasses bar rel. 8lnce tbe announcement of W. 8. Morlan of McCook that he had withdrawn from the race, which was made public two or three week ago, the activity among the republican workers has been redoubled. Mr. Morlan, as ths candidate of two years ago, waa defeated by A. C. Sballenberger by only narrow majority, and was naturally re garded as having a strong claim upon the party for renomination should he again choose to make the race. His decision to retire clears the Held for others. Csptaln C. E. Adams of Superior Is re garded aa. having good chances ot nomina tion. Tbe captain ran against R. D. Suther land for congress in 1898. At that time the district waa regarded as about 3.000 fusion, but Adams' vigorous csmpslgn meth ods cut down this majority to about 800. Ha aided Morlan materially upon tbe stump two yeara ago. Adams may encounter bis first fight for the nomination In the con vention of his home county, ' Nuckolls. Smith T. Caldwell, former state senator, haa a congressional bee buzzing about his headgear and may contest tor the Nuck olls county delegation. Judge Kforrla Has Hopes. 5 Judge G. W.Norris, who Is now serving on the bench In tbe Fourteenth Judicial district, la an announced candidate for the congressional nomination, and is expected to go Into the convention with considerable trength from tbe western half of the dis trict. Robert Potter of Red Cloud Is re ported to have entered the lists. Potter la young lawyer and Is fairly well known In the southern portion of the district. He Is good speaker. Judge Abbott ot Grand Island Is also a candidate. The Judge's age about 70 Is considered a handicap. Ed Allen ot Arapahoe, merchant and state senator. Is after the plum also. He Is con- Idered among the possibilities. McPheely of Mlnden la also among the announced candidates. Hsstings has a candidate In the person of ex-Congressman W. E. Andrews. At leaat, he has a number of friends who wish him to be 'a candidate, but is doubtful It Mr. Andrews can be wooed from a lucrative position In Washington to again accept the chances of a campaign. S. W. Christy of Edgar - wants to go to congress. Christy rang . against G.' W. Btubbs for Judge In the Seventh Judicial district two years ago and was defeated by so narrow a. mar gin that he contested the election. Caste of Large Danker of Aspirants. The resson assigned for the plethora of aspirants Is the fact that the district, for the first time since 1896, showed a repub lican majority for'tbe head of the ticket last tall of between 1,700 and 1,800. Among the fusion forces there Is no thought of nominating anyone but Mr. Sballenberger to succeed himself. The fuslonlsts rely greatly upon the Bartley pardon to create dissension In the republi can ranks and reduce tbe majority. Tbe Fifth district republican sentiment la strongly against tbe pardon, and tbe fusion lets are praying for the republican state convention to remain non-committal upon thla subject. The date of the congressional convention, being dependent upon the state convention date, is not yet set. ARRESTED ON A CAPIAS George Peters, Instead of Paying N Jsdgneat, Goes to . Iowa.
