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

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

their reports. It is expected that the con
solidation Idea will result In much good

of schools Is small. When the reporta are

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

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

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.

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.
Th new company claims they are lustl-
fled In doing so on account of the In
crease of service and increase of cost.

SPRINGFIELD, III., May 27 Judge
Crclghton In the San Gamon circuit court
today decided- the famous suits of the peo
ple In re'.atlon of H. H. Klayer against the
Aetna Fire Insurance company of Hartford,
Conn., In which Klayer, who mas a dis
charged employe of the company, sued to
recover for the state some $300,006 penalty,
which he alleged to be due the state for
failure to make a statement of the net re
ceipts of agencies In order that a tax
might be Imposed upon the same.
Judge CVelghton sustained a demurrer
which threw thj suit out of court. The
court held that If there was any failure to
make reports of net receipts of agencies to
the state it was the failure o the part of
the agencies, and that the statutes Im
posed no penalty on the company or agent
for failure of the agent to make a report.

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.
