Lincoln. Oct. . 8peciaj.-Now that
the secretary of state ha sent out sam
ple of ballot to b uned la the coming
election the usual discussion a to whether
the county clerk wl'.l separate the demo
cratic and populist parties at the head of
the ticket, using the ling after each, or
run them In bracket with only one ring,
has begun. From Omaha come word that
the democrat are divided on the question,
many thinking that to run the party names
In the bracket would result to the advan
tage of Judge Bulllvan, even If It would
wipe off the face of the earth John O.
Teller and Judge Doane, both nominated
by the populist. If the county clerk of
Douglas county finally conclude to place
the name on the ticket In bracket, pro
viding that the court held that the same
parties nominated by the democrat and
by the populist, or endorsed by either uf
them, are fusion candidates, then a straight
fusion ballot would vote for six candidates
Baxter, Read, Ferguson, Dickinson, Page.
It would cut Telser and Doane on the pop
ulist ticket and Day on the democratic
ticket, though the latter would not suffer
so much because he I a nominee of the
republican party.
In their efforts to save Judge Bulllvan,
having given up hope of saving any of the
Judicial ticket, it may be that the Douglas
county clerk will not separate the two
tickets. This It I said would make his
name more conspicuous, and It would be
easier to Instruct the Ignorant floating
voter by merely telling him to vote for the
ticket with the two names In the brackets.
Other democrats who care more for the
district judge than for Judge Bulllvan
. want the parties separated, believing that
the district Judge would fare better at
the hand of the voter. The matter is
causing much worry among the leading fu
slonists of the big city., and they know not
what to do. Several day ago ths clerk
telephoned ths secretary of state to know
If he could not legally place the democratic
"party -at the head of the ticket Inasmuch
as Thompson, ths fusion candidate for gov
ernor, received more vote In Douglas
county than did Governor Mickey. He was
told that the placing of the names on the
ticket was determined on the vote In the
stats and that Pougtaa county was by no
means ths state.
It looks down here as though ths demo
crats were trying to get a coup on the
populists, and If John Yelser Is not care
ful. -It was said by a populist here today,
he won't land with a corporal guard at
hi back when the votes are counted.

Beard of Health Has Power.
In deciding the case of Paris P. Bowman,
owner of a confectionery store and lodging
bouse at Verdun, who received a verdict
against that town for flSO for closing her
bouse , because one of the Inmates had
smallpox, the supreme court reversed the

the village board acted as the, agent of
the public In preventing the spread of the
dlaesse and no right to' sue for damage
would lie vnleaa the statute expressly

The I'nlon Paclflo railroad will save a
few dollars l taxes by virtue of the deci
sion of the supreme court In the cause
which It ha against Howard county. The
county levied taxes for the support of the
road and various other funds and then the
eommbaloners, because the majority of the
Hectora of a certain precinct wanted publlo
rales, levied nn additional tax of i mills
on all the property of the precinct Till

Americana, for Americana, has
i
wa the tax on which the railroad kicked,
for the reason that the full U-mlll levy
for county purposes ' had been made.
The county contended that the levy
was for the precinct and not for the cmnly
and that the statutory limitation had not
been exceeded, .but the court holds that
section a, article Ix of the constitution pro
hibits any greater levy being made by the
county board a a protection for the tax
payer. Their power la limited, and no
matter whether the tax Is for a general
or a special rCrpjse It comes under the
ban when the to tul I above the atatutory
limit. Admitted that such a tax made by
a township would stand, but the precinct is
simply a territorial division of a county
and doe not have Its Independent fiscal
power.
Meats Are Banal Highway.
The driver of a wagon on the streets of
a city has the same right and duties with
regard to keeping a lookout a the street
railway company. Such Is the decision of
the supreme court In the case of Mathleson
against the Omaha street railway . com
pany. The plaintiff In error collided with
a street car and sued for damages on the
ground that the company was carelesa In
running It car at an excessive rate of
speed and did not keep a proper lookout
at the crossing. On the trial the fact was
brought out that he had seen the car some
dtstanco awaj, and the Jury returned a
verdict for the company. The case Is re
versed and remanded to the Douglas county
district court for a new hearing on the
ground that Mathleson should have been
permitted to state the speed of the car to
the Jury, although he could not qualify as
an expert With thla evidence before them
the Juror can determine whether or not he
exercised the same degree of care to pre
vent the accident that the company' men
should have been held to.
Children Nat ta Sign Saloon Petltlaa.
Children are not proper person to sign
a petition or remonstrance against saloon
licenses, although they may have estates
or Inheritance in land In the precinct In

enthusiasts are busy today trying to find
Fleyd Clark of the university, who after
some little participation with Booth's men
was relegated to the scrubs, where he was
later to be brought out as a tackle, because
It la reported that Cla'k has received
transportation from Madison, Wis., with
which to Journey to that state and be
come a part of the tenm of the Wisconsin
university. Clark has good stuff In htm

which caused the Bellevue management

Clark's substitution In the first half of
the gume resulted In turning the tide In

expects to he on the gridiron a week from
Saturday, clapped his hands lustily. Then
Prof. Condra, who I full of foot ball
a a man can be and stay on hi feet, said
things along the same line. Booth waa
working up business among the players
and didn't speak, and Bender said what the
others said was all right. In the mean
