TIIE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1003. . a SALT CREEK SPREADING OUT People in the Bottoms Compelled to Mot by the Boat Bouts. GOVERNOR MICKEY HAS STRENUOUS TIME Ant Jahnke, Wh "aa Seat t'p for Life from Box Batt Coaaty, WMti !eve Trial oa Mar- ar Chars. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May J7.-8peclal.)-The heavy rains during the last few days have caused the overflow of Salt creek In the west part of the city and the bottoms are covered with water, which has engulfed many homes in that neighborhood. To day residents were busy wading through the water with furniture and household goods to dry land. A number of squatters' shacks are surrounded by a placid sea and the people In that district were busy getting out. This afternoon the police got out with boats and helped the residents of the flooded district In vacating. Until along In the afternoon the floods were reported to be rising. From 6:30 until 8 a. m. a rise was recorded of six Inches, and between 11 a. m. and 1 p. m. another rise of six Inches was noted. No appeals were made to the police until after the noon hour, when Mrs. Lawlor, wife of the Second ward councilman, sent In an appeal for assistance In enabling people In her vicinity to get away from their homes. Mr. Lawlor lives Just north of the gas works, and his home is surrounded by the flood. Sidewalks in that vicinity are all afloat and teams that traverse the ad jacent streets are compelled to wade through two or more feet of mud and water. Mickey Talks to Graduates. Governor Mickey returned this afternoon from Broken Bow, where last night he addressed the graduating class of the high school. Yesterday afternoon he delivered an address In the park. His subject last night was "Character Building.' Tomor row night the governor will address the graduating class of the school at Ashland, and from now until the season Is over ho has few vacant dates. In July the gov ernor will attend the national convention of the Epworth league at Detroit, where on the 19th he will deliver an address. In the meantime Governor Mickey is feeling very much relieved and Is looking the picture of health, this because of the pressure having been removed In the matter of the appointment of an Omaha fire and police commissioner. The fight for the place was even worse than for places on the South Omaha board. In appointing W. D. McHugh the governor believes he has done a wise thing. "I have known Judge McHugh for twenty years," he said, "and T believe that he will give satisfaction to the people of Omaha, There were many applicants for the place and my very best friends were divided upon whom they should recommend. Mr. Mc-' Hugh never was an active candidate for the place and did not say anything to me about the appointment. I like to appoint men to office who are not so anxious for places." i Jahak Waata Aaother Trial. t. August F. Jahnke, who was sentenced to life Imprisonment for the murder of Michael Blrck of Box Butte, and which sentence the supreme court affirmed, wants a new lease on. life, and to that end his attorneys ' have , asked . for a rehearing, claiming that In view of the "stupendous -C0nseq,uences";to hlmeeff 'lhe ' court ought ' not to lightly- overturn precedents. The murder of Blrck has been widely published because It was unusual.. He was a bachelor with a farm and some money. According to the testimony that convicted Jahnke, Slrck had his life Insured for Jahnke's benefit, and that to secure the money the latter attempted to kill Slrck by pushing him Into a well, and when that , failed he tried the poison route. Later It was claimed that he got Oliver Olson to "accidentally" shoot him. This did the work. The attorneys claim that Jahnke did not have a fair trial and that he was con victed upon the testimony of an Insane witness. Bask After Statistics. Labor Commissioner Bush Is hoping these days that he will receive very shortly statistics he wants and that have hereto fore not been forthcoming from the farm ing sections of the state. He Is hoping that the courfty assessors will this year help mm out oy -.garnering in every fact connected with every family in the said assessor's range. Bush wants to know everything and the requests that he has bsan handing some of the assessors almost ask for the family skeletons and heirlooms. Incidentally Mr. Bush has stopped sev- VI mn alils " VJ t Kins .... ... vimtia and warned their employers that a repeti tion of the offense would not be tolerated. On several occasions he found the boys in the ten-pin alleys, who were too young to be la the business and sent them home and gave the same warning to the pro prietors. As a result of the constant hammering done by former Commissioner Watson and which has been kept up by Bush, many fir escapes have been put up and more are In course of construction. A recent on in Lincoln was on the Burr block Reports oa Schools. Superintendent Fowler has' Just begun to hear from a few of his requests for statis tics regarding the consolidation of school districts.' The statistics ' were called for as a matter of encouragement for other districts that are contemplating consolida tion. So far very few have responded with their reports. It is expected that the con solidation Idea will result In much good all over the state where the attendance of schools Is small. When the reporta are all In they will be published as a bulletin and sent out to the various school dis tricts. Taarlag latter Dlfflealtle. S:ate Superintendent Fowler is having some little trouble In getting around the circle on his annual speechmaklng tour. The superintendent haa dates running from now until the last of the commencement season, but It Is doubtful It hs will be able to fill them all. He Is trying harj not to disappoint, as la shown in a little experience thst came his wsy while going to Hillsdale. He got as far as Deweese. In Clay county, a small town on the Little Blue river. At this stage of his progress he was riding In a freight caboose, with a lot of oflur passengers. When the river was reschel It wss found that although the bridge was Intact about MO feet of the approach nad been washed out and the train had to come to a holt. The passengers were ob liged to disembark, and then cross to the other side of the swollen stream on the treacherous track. The water was rush ing In a turbulent torrent under the track from which the embankment had been washed out. The length of track suspended In the air was so unsafe thst. only one passenger at a time was permitted to cru.s. When the travelers were once safely across the river they proceeded on their way on another train which had been waiting for them on the other side of the river. When Mr. Fowler reached his destination l.e found that he was about four hours late for the commencement exercises, and he came back to Lincoln to get a fresh start.

Violin solo the city council meeting last evening W. J. . Courtrlght, . for the Independent Tele phone company, petitioned for a new fran chise, th principal feature of which Is an Increase of 28 cents per 'phone above those they are at present permitted to charge. Rosa Hammond and other leading stock holders of the Independent company were also present and had something to say. The matter was laid over for a special meeting and will probably be defeated. This action of the new company was surprise. Its officers had frequently ex pressed themselves as satisfied with the rates, which were thoso of their own choice and the company Is in good financial con dition. The proposed new rates are to go Into effect when there are 700 telephones working and until then there Is to be a de crease in th charge for party lines, of which the new company has a very few. A still further Increase In rates will make the charge for an Independent 'phone ex ceed that for on of th Bell company.

HARRISBURO. Pa.. May 27.-The repub lican state convention today endorsed Pres ident Roosevelt for renomlnatlon and de clared against any change In the present tariff schedules. The state administration was strongly en dorsed and no mention was made In the platform of the Grady-Salus libel law enacted by the recent legislature. Senator Quay declined to accept re-election as chair man of the state committee, and his col league. Senator Penrose, was chosen his successor. . The convention was remarkable for the unanimity with which It disposed of Its business and the lack oi coniesi nu mi four places fin the Btate ticket. Senator W. P. Snyder of Chester county was nomi nated for auditor general. W. L. Mattheus of Delaware county for state treasurer and Judge Thomas A. Morrison of McKean county and J. J. Henderson of Crawford county for superior court Judges. Judges Morrison and Henderson are at present members of the superior court by appoint ment of the governor and their nomination Is for the full term of ten years. The convention was held much earlier than usual In oft years on account of the desire of Senator Quay and other party leaders to be away during the summer. Mr. Quay was not here during the convention, and his Interests were in charge of Senator Tenrose and other lieutenants. Henry F. Walton of Philadelphia, speaker of the house of representatives, was per manent chairman of the convention, and Congressman H, H. Bingham of Philadel phia was chairman of the resolutions committee. The plank In the platform endorsing President Roosevelt for a second term U as follows: We commend and approve the admin istration of President Roosevelt, who with great ability, fidelity and vigor haa en- decessor, William McKlnley, and of the I republican part v. We favor Ms nomlna- j tlon and election to the prt-sldenry In 1304 and pledge thereunto the united sup- ' port of the republicans of Pennsylvania. I The platform also contains a plank favor ing "home rule for and tho early admls- i sion Into statehood of the territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma." The last congress Is praised for the pas- j sage of "acts of great Importance and ad- j vantage of the people." i On tariff revision the platform says: "We I affirm our unswerving loyalty to the repub lican principle of protective tariff and de precate any suggestion of a general re vision at the present time of the existing tariff laws enacted In 1897. We believe It to be the dictum of wisdom to let well enough alone and not to imperil business Interests by any suggestions of present Interference with revenue legislation. Per manence and stability of tariff rates are essential to continued business prosperity." The platform also contains the following reference to the last legislature and Gov ernor Pennypacker: We heartily commend the wise, fearless and patriotic administration of Samuel W. Pennvnarker. aovernor of our great com monwealth. He h been conscientious In the discharge of duties of his high office and merits the approval of our people. A tn of beauty is a Joy forever. DI.T.
