the vote on tho legislative ticket Is close,
some candidates decline to make any con

With the discussion of tho election there
Is abundant speculating as to tho county
clerk to be appointed by tbo Board of
Commissioners. The commissioners prob
ably will caucug Friday and decide on the
appointee, who will bo formally named at
Saturday's meeting. Ever alnco tbo death
of Harry C. Miller, elected to the office
one year . ago, and hone with fourteen
month now left la his term of tenure,
applicant have been growing mora numer
ous dally. A republican member ot tho
board said yesterday that he believed
either John Drexel, former sheriff and
former coroner, or Tom Hoetor ot South
Omaha, recently county commissioner, will
be chosen. The three democratic member
of the board, however, decline to even as
much aa hint of favorite and have avoided
being caught in a group where an appli
cant might press two of them for an ex
presslon at the asms time.
Most of the aspirant are making button
hot bouquets ot themselves and doing their
persuading by persistent whisperings la
dark corners, but a few are taking the "en
dorsement" method. W". H. Ounsolus, pres
ent messenger to tho county attorney, I
prepared to file format endorsements by the
Typographical, Barber'. Bricklayers',
Bridge and Structural Iron Worker', Car
penters', Team Driver', Fainter', Steam
.Fitters', Switchmen' and Plumber' Labor

with a petition ot the Union Veterana'

rhool are R alevlnel.
The city council met last night, with
only four member present. Welsh is out
of the city and O'Connor la on the sick list,
so It devolved upon the four members pres
ent to transact the business.
About all that was accomplished out of
the regular routine waa the appointment
ot a committee to investigate tho propo
sition to open O street from Twentieth'
street east to Thirteenth street. Queenan
suggested that the mayor 'appoint a com
tnfttee to look Into the matter and this
wss done." The committee Is composed of
Councllmen Adklns, Queenan, Welsh, Pr.
W. 8. White, Anton Kostsl and Steve Volz.
No time is set for the report of thla com
mittee, but as the property ownero are
anxious to have something done it is
thought thst a report may be mRde by
next Monday night.
Reports from heads of departments for
October were read and placed on file. J. D.
Homan. who is in charge of the emergency
hospital, asked, through Councilman Quee
nan, for material, lumber, brick, etc.,
for a cellar. The council decided that It
would provide a good-sized shovel and per
mit Homan to dig hi own cellar.
Another attempt Is to be made to secure
the passage of an ordinance regulating the
speed of trains through tho city. Tho or
dinance Introduced some time ago wa
laid away by the judiciary committee, a
it ws considered defective. The city at
torney will be called upon to draft an or
dinance that will hold good In the courts.
The October appropriation sheet wa al

II lab School Typewriters.
As nredlcted in The Bee of Thursday
morning, the Oliver Typewriter company
yesterday replevtned the twelve typewriter'. !
at the high school building and removed
the same. The writ was served by a dep
uty sheriff, who carted the machines away.
Judge Vlnsonhaler will hear the case on
November 12.
It is asserted that tin alleged purchase
Of the machines In question entered largely
Into complaint filed against four member
of the Board of Education. While the
claim of the Oliver company waa allowed
by tbo board and the warrant was drawn.
President Miller would not sign It, aa he
had been arrested for taking a bribe. In
stead ot applying for a writ ot mandamus
to compel Miller to sign the warrant for
the payment of the machines delivered the
Oliver company decided to recover its
property and did so.
When a deputy sheriff removed the type
writer from the high school building it left,
the commercial department without any
work to do. Word was sent to Miller and
Kubat and an effort wa. made to rent ma
chines for temporary use until arrange-
menta could be made to purchase
President Miller of the Board of Edu
cation said last night to a Bee reporter
that he had heard the machine had been
removed. A for details he declined to
enter into any discussion. Ho did say,
however, that if the company had any right
to take the machines, "let them have
them."
In connection with this deal the records
show that prior to the purchase by tbo
board of the Oliver machine an order wa
Issued for the cleaning and repairing of
the machinea in the high school. This
was done, and then, when he machine
were returned In good working order, the
board turned around and purchased a dozen
new machines, giving those on' band in
part payment, promising to pay the bal
ance in cash.
Should there be any delay in the renting
of typewriters by tbo board the commer
cial department will go by default for a
time. It waa reported on the streets last
night that none of the agencies in Omaha
would either rent or sell typewriter to
the South Omaha Board of Education un
less the money waa In sight, the money
to be turned over at the earns time the
machine were delivered.

GENERAL MILES SUBMITS HIS REPORT
Condition ot the Indians Is ssld to He
ttolte Satisfactory and o Merlon
Dlstnrbnneea Dnrlna; the
Year Are 5oted.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. The annual re
port of Lieutenant General Mile, com
manding the army, I brief review ot tbe
report that have ben submitted to him by
other officers.
He endorse tho recommendation of Gen
eral Brooke for a readjustment of the
geographical limit of tbe different depart
ment with a view ot equalising condition.
Oeneral Mile call attention to the neces
sity ot quarter for troops, saying that,
while hundred ot thousands of dollars are
being spent for quarter for cavalry, very
little is being used to afford shelter for
artillery, which is exposed to severe
climate along the coasts.
"These troops," say General Miles, "are
required to be located adjacent to the forti
fications, notwithstanding the exposed po
sition of many ot tbem, and I see no reason
why buildings should not be properly con
structed In time to be occupied when it 1
known for year exactly where and when
they will be required.
Fort Iflrntlon Incomplete.
"I alio call attention to tbe Incomplete
condition of the fortification, especially
on the Pactfio coast, where million have
been expended In engineering and ordnance
work, and yet the command have not been
properly supplied with ammunition, elec
trical plants and other appliance essential
to the effective use of these fortifications
In actual warfare."
General Miles further adds:
During the last year there has been no
serious engagements, except of the troops
under Oeneral Frsnk D. Baldwin, in
Mindanoa, I. 1., with the Moros. For tho
number of men engnged thi was a very
spirited and desperate engagement. Our
forces were commanded by one of the most
perleneed and efficient officers of the
army, whose record has always been of
tho highest order, and his achievement, to
gether with that of the troops In this en
gagement, made another chapter of forti
tude, tenacity and heroic sacrifice In the
history of American arms.
Condition of the Indians.
The condition of tbe Indian is quite
satisfactory and there has been no disturb
ance of importance among them during the
last twelve months. This I accounted for
principally by three reasons:
1. Just and humane treatment of tbe In
dians and the Judicious management ot
their affairs.
2. Their gradual transition from a con
dition of barbarism to that of seml-civlllted
people.
3. Tbo close proximity of the military
garrisons, which are always available in
case ot threatened disturbance.
The report concludes:
The experience during the great civil war
and years of campaigning along our west
ern frontier afforded the best schools of
practice for our army In former years.
The attention given to calisthenics and
gymnastic and military exercises made our
small urmy a corps of athletes, whtlo the
elementary schools established for enlisted
men, the post libraries, the post lyceums
and ofllcers' schools, the various schools
of Instruction and practice for officers, a
well as the military academy, produced an
army of such excellence that 1 was able
In my annual report for IS!) to state:
"Tho personnel ot the army was never In
better condition."
Proven by Fortltnde.
This wse proven to be true by the forti
tude, skill and heroism displayed in every
serious campaign, on every field of mortal
combat, wherever the army has been en-
f;aged in any part of the world during the
ast four years. During that time many
changes have occurred and the army has
been very largely increased.
The long and varied service of the senior
officers, their experience In organizing,
disciplining, Instructing and leading their
commands, as well a the excellent dis
cipline. Instruction and exemplary conduct
of the, soldiers of the army of lS9Sahave
been the leaven of the army of the present
time. Kvtla may creep Into any system or
great organization. Such as have affected
our army havo been or will be eradicated.
