Such proceedings will be instituted by the one who loses In a drawing of lota. This drawing, County Clerk Drexel says, probably will be next Saturday morning. When the canvassing board finished tta work Wednesday noon on the poll books from the Fifth, Sixth and Ninth wards and East Omaha, constituting the Fifth cora mlssloner district, it was found that the plurality of 11 for McDonald, shown -by the unofficial returns, had been wiped away and the two men stood tied, with a total of 1,811 each. Yesterday morning Attorney B. O. Burbank, for McDonald, attempted to persuade the canvassing board to reopen 'the poll book from the Sixth precinct of the Ninth ward and reject one doubtful Wredlt allowed lyiberk. ! On behalf of Lobeck, Attorney I J. ,Piattl demurred and the board took the matter under advisement, until 1 o'clock. at which time It decided to let the tie voto atand.

Me cited the fact that in the Sixth precinct of the Ninth the board, by allowing Lobeck credit for an Incompleted mark on the book, had allowed a total of 263 votes, whereas the total number of names of those who voted was but 262. He asked that the board reconsider the matter and 'withdraw the doubtful credit. Thla would have given McDonald a plurality of one and the advantage in subsequent proceed ing. Aa Burbank waa about completing his argument. Attorney Platti, who la Lobeck' counsel, arrived from hi office on a trot. H protected to the board that Burbank nd McDonald were showing scant cour tesy to Lobeck to press the board for auch action without informing the other contestant of what was to be done. Lo beck waa not present, but in his behalf Platti argued briefly that, assuming the total of 262 to be the correct number of those voting, there was no reason why, in removing one from the number of credited tallies, such one should come from Lo ' beck' , total ot 113 any more than from 'McDonald' total of 129, Schaffer's total ot 12 or from the total of eight blanks. V In making Ita decision the board atated 'that reconsideration of the vote would I necessitate the reopening of the poll book, i which had been aealcd, and that it was not the opinion ot tba board that it could do 'thla with propriety; furthermore, that the . . ...,.,, w. h.ln vntsd tor mad the election a federal one, and there might be federal statutes forbidding the action asked.

Announcement' of the Theater. E. H. Sothern will be seen In hi new play. "If I Were King." at the Boyd to night, Saturday matinee and night. This play was by the general consent of critics and public alike admittedly the best thai was seen on the stage last season; per haps it la not too much to say, for the last five or six seasons. It waa not a patchwork affair, fashioned out of someone else novel; not a problem plsy, nor yet an ephemeral picture of the society of the day; but a strong, clean, wholesome play of absorbing interest, tersely told In lan. guage that for beauty of atyle and poetic Imagination has only been equaled among modern dramatists by Edmond Rostand, the author of "Cyrano de Bergerac." The central figure of the slay Is that atrange shadowy figure of the fifteenth century, the vagabond poet, Francis Villon. Mr. McCarthy introduce him to ua ffrst a the companion of thlevea In the slums of Paris. Afterward we aee him as grand constable of France, winning the love of the noblest and fairest lady of the court. Ned Wayburn' "Jockey Club" seems to have caught popular fancy In Omaha, for not alnce the opening of the season ha a week been marked with auch a succession of large houses aa are attending the Or pheum, and report from the box office say, never before waa the demand for front aeata more noticeable, and not only from the "chappies" and "bald beads," for the drawing thither soms to prevail without regard to sex or age. The group of New Tork beauties, aa they are styled. Is certainly chic and attractive, and led by the Countess von Hatxfeldt, enlist great admiration. Their dancea are grace, tul and differ from the regular run, and the harmony, while not al.new, la catchy and pleasing, and the costuming Is at. tractive. The hit scored by Harry LeClair, the female impersonator, comparatively apeaking, entitles him to mention In the "headline" clasa, while O. K. Sato, the comedy juggler, and some ot the other acta, are received with that enthusiasm that la always gratifying to the performer and attest the happy satisfaction of the auditor.

CAUGHT IN ACT BY A DEPUTY MARSHAL . Maklaar HI Dally Hound Castodlaa ot tocle Sam'a Building Finds Sixteen Empty Whisky Bot tles in Closets.' The nerviest bootlegger in the United States Is believed to have been discovered by the United States marshal In Omaha in the person of George Miller, who says h comes from Horton, Kan. Miller was ar rested by Deputy United States Marshal James Allan at the federal building on tba charge of selling liquor to Indians. Miller has been around the building for some time, but in the crowd which is there o appear before the grand Jury no particu lar attention was paid to htm. It was no ticed, however, that the Indians now at tending court have in some way obtained plenty of "red eye." Officers have kept close watch upon the warda of the nation, having accompanied them to their boarding places and main tained watch upon the saloons in the neigh borhood, but in spite of all care the In dians would get drunk. Red men who have seldom left the walla of the building would bo found In a atat of beastly Intoxication and the officer were at a loss to discover the source of supply. Yesterday morning James Allan noticed Charles Bonaparte, a Winnebago Indian, in conversation with Miller and saw the latter leave the house. A ahort time after that Miller returned and paaaed into an Inner room. The Indian followed blm and Allan followed the Indian. The men were not close together when he entered, but be made a demand upon the Indian for the bottle of whlaky. Bonaparte demurred, hut finally produced a flask, asking the mar- shal to let htm bave one drink, as be had just bought It. He then said that Miller bad sold it to him, and Miller was arrested nd brought before a United Statea court commissioner, who bound blm over to await the action of the grand jury. Testerday in cleaning the building the custodian found sixteen empty whisky bottles In the closets and It Is believed that all of them were brought Into tba building by Miller.
