The Douglas county delegation to the republican state convention at Lincoln next Tuesday will present the name ot Hen. William O. Whltmore of Valley for the nomination for regent of the stato uni versity. Mr. Whltmore has been consid ering the question of his candldiiy for sime time at the solicitation of friends and has finally concluded to accept the position If It Is tendered to him. Mr. Whltmore is well known as a suocessful farmer and stock raiser and has been In publlo life as a member of the state legl:liture. He also stood for the position of university regent as the nominee of the republicans In 1894, although on that occasion none of the candidates on the ticket were success ful. A large majority ot the delegates elect to the coming state convention hive Indicated their desire to support Mr. Whlt more for this place and he has also been assured of support from other counties. The delegates have practically agreed, In addition, to an organisation of the delcga tlon with W. W. Bingham as chairman and lion. John I Webster as member of Yho resolutions committee for this d.str.ct. Ths members of the state committee w'.'.ose terms expire are: Victor R -s 'Water, Charles E. Morgan and B. E. Wilcox. T.ie last two are not asking to be re-elected, so the choice has been expressed for com mltteemcn for Douglas county Victor Rose water, Charles V. Fear and Joseph Koutsky. . Chairman Ooss of the republican county committee has had a tabulation made of the delegate apportionment for the next county convention under the new rules adopted by the committee fit the last meeting. This tabulation gives a total membership In the convention of 431 able gates. For South Omaha the representa tion Is partially estimated, because the ward and precinct lines there have been changed since the 1900 'election, the appor tionment being based on the vote for presi dent In that year. "Why, no, I had never thought of it and would not have it if tendered mo," said General Charles F. Manderson when asked If he Would become a candidate for vice president of the United States, for which the Sixth Ward Republican club has en dorsed him. I had not known of the endorsement of the Sixth Ward Republican club at its re- 1 cent meeting, r.s I have been out of the ' city and only returned last evening," ".io j continued. "I appreciate the kindness of the Sixth Ward club, as that is my old ward. But I am not a candidate, nor would I accept the nomination. I am out of poll tics. I had twelve years of It at Washing ton and have no further aspirations for political '.lfe. There is too little domesticity to be enjoyed there, and I am a home man. I really had not given the matter much thought, being occupied with other busi ness, but I am free to say very emphat ically that the vice presidency should come to the west by all means. "You may certainly say for me that even were the matter of my being a vice presi dential possibility taken seriously, that I would not consider It for a moment. There Is plenty of good material In the west, and the greatest kindness my friends can do me Is to let me live In politics! obscurity. They have honored me sufficiently, and I am sincerely grateful to them, and my gratitude will be Increased by their per mitting me to continue with them as a private cltlxen." John N. Westberg Is back in Omaha with the declaration that he Intends to put In his time "making It hot for Rosewater."

The Impression that Shrlver was out of the race came from a chance remark he made concerning the expensive filing fees re- J quired under the new primary rules. The county convention of the socialist party of Douglas county will be held at socialist headquarters, 619 North Sixteenth street, Friday, September 4, for the nomi nation of candidates for county Judge, sheriff, coroner, county treasurer, county clerk, county surveyor, superintendent of fcchools, county commissioners, clerk of the district court, county assessor, police Judge and such other officers as are not herein name'd, and for the transaction of general miscellaneous business. All members of socialist party In the county In good stand ing are entitled to participate In the pro ceedings. The call Is signed by Parker 8. Condlt, chairman, and J. J. Condon, secre tary, of the socialist county central committee. At a meeting held In the office of Chair man Ooss the executive committee of the republican county central committee de cided to Issue at once the call for the re publican primaries to be held October 6 and the convention to be held October 10. The meeting was called to correct some clerical errors In the primary rules and to make some additions that had been over looked by the county committee. The county central committee will meet Septem ber 13 to name Judges of the election and to select polling places. The committee added to the list of offices that of police magistrate, whose fee will be 36; coroner, t'jO, end road supervisors, 13. Justices of the peace In the country were added, but no fee was attached for becoming candidates. The remainder of the changes In the rules were merely clerical. The committee decided to have the new rules printed and distributed and this will be done at once. The committee expects to get busy now In preparing registration rolls by precincts, this being necessary owing to the fact that precinct primaries will be held. The popu'.lst county central committee got together (n the office of Deputy County Attorney Magney last night, but made no recommendation regarding the holding of a county convention. The selection of del egates to the state convention was left to those populists who will attend, the Judicial convention to be held August 12. Only a email membership of the committee was present.

STICOEY PROMISES TO HELP President of Great Western Pledgei As sistance in Oompletioi of Auditorium, DOES NOT- NAME ANY DEFINITE SUM Last Line to Enter Omaha Taking Lend In Enterprise Directors Hope Other Railroads Will Follow. The Chicago Great Western railway will help Omaha build the Auditorium. Presi dent A. B. Stlckney so told a committee of business men who waited on him at the Millard hotel Thursday afternoon. No definite sum was mentioned, but It Is be lieved the road will purchase IE,000 or $Q.00O worth of stock, tho president saying that he would name the amount later. This will be the first subscription toward the Auditorium made by a railroad. It is pledged by tho chief officer of a line that has not yet established a terminus in the city and which has' had a stiff legal bsttle to be assured of entrance over the Union Pacific bridge. Now that the last transportation line to reach Omaha has been first with an Audi torium subscription. It Is confidently ex pected fliat the bther lines will respond with equal or exceeding generosity. Such Is the hope held by the members of the executive committee of the Auditorium company. The committee that called upon Presi dent Stlckney by appointment Included the executive committee, and was composed of these well known business men. J. E. Caum, Charles H. Pickens, Frank J. Car penter, F. E. Sanborn, Arthur Smith, F. P. Klrkendall, F. -A. Naah, W. M. Olass, E. P. Peck. W. a. Wright, Frank B. Hochstetler, W. J. C. Kenyon and J. M. Glllin, assistant secretary of the Audi torium company. Introduced by Kellogg. Frank B. Kellogg, general counsel for the picture of the Auditorium as It will appear when completed and was much pleased with It. He remarked, laconically, that It would make a pretty fine station building If properly located. The committee thanked the president for his generous treatment of the proposition and departed much pleased with- the inter view. The fact that the Great Western contributed a handsome amount to the Kansas City Auditorium leads to the be'.let that Omaha will be as liberally treated.

Y., who totally lost his memory and who was Identified from descriptions published of him as Dr. Harry P. Cate of Lakewood, N.

"This was the second cae of the kind I remember of," said the chief. "The other was a Kansas City fireman named Evans, who had shipped some potatoes to Lincoln. Something went wrong and Evans started to Lincoln to see about the shipment. He never got there and the Plnkertona were put to work on the case. James McFar land, now superintendent of the western divlHion of the plnkertons, after eighteen months' search, located Evans in a hos pital In Liverpool.

Mr. Baura congratu lated President Stlckney on his recent vic tory in the L'nited States court by which his road la enabled to enter Omaha and South Omaha and compete for a share ot the business of the cities and tributary country. He then presented In a clear way the Auditorium enterprise and asked Pres ident Stlckney to make a subscription for auditorium stock for tho corporation that he heads. In replying the president said he was willing not only to make a definite pledge of support for the Auditorium, but was pleased to have the opportunity to show hi good will toward Omahan. He had fully decided, he announced, to help the people of Omaha build what he eharac Ised a a splendid public building. "I want It distinctly understood," said President Stlckney, "that the Great West ern is entering Omaha with the most friendly feeling. I have taken up the In terests of Omaha In conference with the officer of the company, and they were all destrlou of showing the people of this city that the Great Western proposes to take a lively Interest In the welfare and pros perity of Omaha and the surrounding coun try. W want to do all that Is fair and reasonable to promote good feeling and prosperity In this part of the country. Does Xotj tame Antoant.

MORE SHED AND TRACK ROOM IS NEEDED Step la Taken to Mean that Harrlman Ho So Hope of Dealing; Stlck ney In Appenl to Hlwlicr Court, Plans are being prepared by the Union Pacific for Increasing the trackage facilities at the Union station, now that the Chicago Great Western will run Its passenger trains Into that depot. The eight tracks row in place are scarcely adequate to lianrtlo the trains at certain periods of the day and heavy movements have taxed the tracks to their utmost. The plans at present are to ndd two pas tracks and put In place one more umbrella senger tracks to the south of the present shed. The large shed running north and south will be extended over the entire ten tracks. The placing of these new tracks will necessitate the moving of the fence between the freight and passenger trucks and will encroach on the freight tracks, so that two of the upper tracks in the freight yards will) have to be torn out. Work on the additional tracks probably j will be undertaken and flnltilied this fall, as the necessity for them is ulmost'lmmedlnte. It Is Inferred from these preparations by the I'nlon Pacific that It has abandoned he of ultimately shutting out the Great Western through Its appeal from Judge Hunger's decision. Where He Is At. Charles Somers Young, at present man ager of the general advertising department of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, writes to The Bee from Chicago us follows: "What has become of that man who says It's cool In Colorado?' The Omaha Bee, August 12. "That's the paper my friends read, and they're Jarring me about this paragraph. In reply, beg to say the man Is In Chicago, enjoying the lake breesea, with frequent trips to the delightful lake resort ot Wis consin and Michigan. Incidentally, he ia lending a different life, and see no reason why mistake should be tossed up to him." CANNOT ATTEND THE REUNION g. K.
