YELLOW PAPERS REACH LIMIT Sensational Story from Lincoln vVlth oat llhteat FoaadatlonT la Fart. The Lincoln correspondent of the local fusion paper, in order to give the proper yellow setting to his work. Included In his story of the reception to Oovernor Mickey a fake account, which said that as Edward Roaewater passed along the line ofthe re ceiving party and reached ex-Governor Savage "the hand and arm of the governor were clinched and drawn back aa though to strike. Mr. Jtosewater grew pale, hesi tated and retreated beyond range." The Junior yellow Journal for it noon edition rewrote this story and exaggerated it Into an attempted assault by Savage upon Mr. Roaewater. It said that J. F. McKehaon caught and held the arm ot the retiring governor while Mr. Roaewater Im mediately escaped and ran to the depot, where he caught the first train for Omaha. Instructions were given the newsboys to teature this story In crying their papers. Aa a matter of fact Mr. Roaewater was present at the reception and shook hands and chatted with hla friends in the long line of the receiving party. There was a largs formal crowd present at the function and the evening passed without Mr. Rose water meeting or having anything whatever to do with the ex-governor.

LOBECK LOSES IN CONTEST County Court Decide McDonald Hsi Plnralitj of ThirtT-Oae. FOUR HUNDRED BALLOTS THROWN OUT Reraaae Clerks lned Ballots li I'lae 0( Jndars toanly Court holds that Electors Mast Re Dlsfraachlaed. About noon yesterday " Judge Vlnson- haler In county court declared Henry Mc Donald, republican candidate, elected county commissioner from the Fifth com missioner district by a plurality of Jl over C. O. Lobeck, fusion candidate, the re spective figures being 2.423 to 2.302. Attor neys Ed P. Smith snd L. J. Plattl, repre senting Lobeck, Immediately announced that an appeal will be taken and the bond was fixed at $200. The decision comes after a recount of the ballots, which leaves In the mind of Lobeck the unpleasant Impression that had It not been Tor Irregularities In the official con duct of two clerka of election, both demo crats, he would have had In thia count a plurality over McDonald of 11. The Irregu larities referred to resulted In the court throwing out 221 ballots manifestly Intended for Lobeck and 180 manifestly Intended for McDonald.. The clerks Lobeck holds re sponsible for defeat In this first round of the contest sre P. H. Dalley of the Seventh precinct of the Sixth ward and M. E. Mor rlsey of the Fourth precinct of the Ninth ward. Where the I.oaaes Oeear, To explain more fully, It may be said rthat In the Seventh of the Sixth Lobeck loat li and McDonald lost 41, or a net loss ot II for Lobeck, because Clerk Dailey had exchanged places with Election Judge Mc Oovrrn because the latter wss a better penman. Dalley and one judge signed the back of the ballots In question, snd tbe Judge held this to be a violation ot the provision ot the statutes which require each ballot to be signed by two Judges. In the Tenth of the Sixth Clerk Tlerney signed instesd of one of tbe Judges, snd this resulted in a loss ot 40 from McDonald and 27 from Lobeck. In the Fourth of the Ninth Clerk Morrlsey signed tor a Judge and this cost Lobeck 123 and McDonald 99. Thus, under the ruling ot Judge Vinson baler, the three clerks, by undertaking duties of Judges, have disfranchised 401 legal voters of the Fifth commissioner district. Attorney Smith said he would refrain from going over the ground again with Judge Vlnscnhalor, but stated that he be, lleved the higher courts would take mora Into consideration the Intept of the voter and that therefore the caae would be ap pealed.
