(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec M. (Special.) A nunbct
af LJnooln tltlsena today received letter
from Omaha signed by thoe contemplating
Uia organisation of a Webster club for th
purpose of promoting tha candidacy of
John I Webater for the vice presidency
to attend a meeting 'at Omaha for thta
purpoaa December 10. While Mr. Webater
would receive no oppoalllon from Lincoln
politician a, at least one prominent cltlxen
who received one of the letters dealrea the
Webater organisation to go further and
plant Itself square-footed for President
Roosevelt first, laat and all tha time a
Well as declaring for Mr. Webster. He
aid:
"As a Nepraaltan I would like to sea Mr.
Webster rlos president of the United States,
and I believe ha has the ability to assume
the duties of tha office, but I am tor Roose
velt firat, and I believe tha majority of the
republicans of Nebraska are In tha same
fix. It has been talked for soma time that
ta railroads of the country would oppose
tha nomination of President Roosevelt, and
what assurance have wa that the formation
of tha Webster club Is not a scheme on
their part to secure the Nebraska delega
tion to the national convention on this pre
text and then It would be an easy matter
to trade tha delegation, have It vote agalnat
tha president and offer as an excuse that
It bad to bo done to make Webster, I be
lieve that It would be a good Idea for th
Webstar club to coma out first for Roose
ra It as Its only choice for the presidency
that we may know where It stands."
' At a meeting of the Nebraska Traveling
Man's Republican club tonight President
Roosevelt was endorsed for renoml nation,
John It. Webster for vice president and
J.' M. CNnal of University Place tor th
pomlnaUoa for state auditor.. A commit
tee of twelve wa appointed to go to Omaha

appointed to organise a Webster club. Tha
club pledged Itself to do everything In Its'
power to secure tha nomination of th can
didate endorsed. O'Neal Is chairman of
th Lancaster county central committee
and conducted the late campaign la this
county, Ha Is a traveling man. 1 .
Bat Working; for Fowler,
Up In the northwestern section of th
Stat th school board! have been buying
books and map from agents who pretended
to represent Stat Superintendent Fowler,
It was upon th strength of .this latter rep
resentation, so some of the boards have In
formed Mr, Fowler, that orders were given
for the goods which now they do nut want.
As a matter of tact Mr. ' Fowler has no
agnnta In the slat selling books ana maps
and he has repeatedly said so through cir
cular letters. In answer to a communica
tion regarding th men Superintendent
Fowler has mailed out a circular letter
stating this:.
Tha aforesaid persons are - unknown to
ma and are not representing m in any
buftltxws whatsoever, either personally or
officially. Neither am I engaged In any
business of this nature. And as they ob
tained your order upon a misrepresentation
you should refuse to pay It and auto refuse
to accept the books or charts purchased of
inpro. .
Tner seems to be a well organised and
cunningly planned scheme on the part of a
corporation of fakirs to plunder the school
district treasuries throughout the northern

Test Right ( Confiscation.
The right of the state to confiscate guns
used by hunters violating the state gam
laws Is a question which Is now pending
before the supreme court. This morning

ing that the forfeiture declared by the
statute Is a valid exercise of the police
power, and that It Is the right of the state
to make It a summary proceeding, discard
ing th process of tha courts. The case In
which the question arises Is from Boone

action by P. K. McKllllp. who owned three
guns used by hunters found violating the
gam law. Harry L. McConoell, on of th
deputy gam wardens, was the defendant.

school district directors from making a sec
tarian meeting, house of th school house.
The supreme court of Nebraska gave Mr.
Freeman the relief sought for, and Inci
dentally called attention to th ikct that
the stat constitution did not permit of th
us of public money for religious Instruc

SIOUX PALLS. B. D., Dec &-(Bpeclal.)
Persistent efforts to solvs the mystery
surrounding the dtssppesrance from his
home In this city . last Tuesday of Rev.
Charles A. Lyons have thus faf proven
fruitless.
Th minting man was married only about
three weeks ago to Mlns Purvis, stenog
rapher In a local bank. The ceremony wa
performed by the father of the bride, who
Is pastor of a Christian church In a town
near Cedar Rapid, la., he having come to
Plnux Foils for the express puryose of
uniting his daughter and Rev. Mr. Lyoss
In marriage.
The couple had apartments In a local bust
ness block. After eating lunch with her
husband last Tuesday noon Mrs. Lyons,
wbo had continued In her position at th
bank, departed for the bank, leaving her
husband In their rooms. This was th last
she saw of him. The operator .of the ele
vator in 'the building has since stated that
shortly after the wife left the building her
husband also descended In the elevator.
This was th last seen of him by snyons
In Bloux Falls, so fsr as th authorities
have been able to ascertain.
When the husband descended In tha ele
vator he was carrying a small blsck box.
This was, afterwards found In the apart
ments of himself and wife, showing that
he must have returned to the building un
observed by anyone.
Finds California Aaalosry. '
Lyons cam to Bloux Falls last May,
armed with letters of Introduction to sev
eral local clergymen and prominent church
people, and not having a regular Charge,
had occupied local pulpits at such times
as the regular pastors hav been absent.
He was a printer or bookbinder by trade,
and for the purpose of making a living had
been employed In a local book bindery for
soma time before hi mysterious disappear
ance. On of th men with whom he worked
spent some time a few years ago at San
Diego,' Cal., and states that while there
he worked with a man bearing the ham
of Charles A. Lyons, of about th same
age and appearance of the man for whom
score of officers' and others tn this part
of th country are now keeping a close
watch In hope of discovering him or un
raveling th mystery surrounding his dis
appearance. Tha San Diego Lyons, so this
man states, disappeared In much th same
fashion as Rev. Mr. Lyons, deserting a wif
and one or two children.
Remembering thia. and noting that ths
Lyons who was employed with him here
bore a resemblance to the man of that
nam ha had known In San Dlegn, he one
day asked Rev. Mr. Lyons If he had over
been la th California city. Th minister,
he says, admitted that he had.
Early In the fall Rev. Mr. Lyons suffered
a slight stroke of paralysis, which af
fected one of his eyes. Physicians claim
that a second attack of this nature would
cause death or complete loss of mind for
i.n extended period.
. Those who were th most closely asso
ciated with the missing man during his
residence in Sioux Falls .-idicule th Idea
that h deliberately abandoned his brida
of a few weeks. They contend that he
would never hav left th city had he been
In bis right mind. The belief of most of
his friends is that he has become insans
and wandered away. 8cm advance the
theory pf foul play, as he bad over (100 In
cash in his pocket when he disappeared.
His friends and th authorities have sent
broadcast throughout the country cards
containing a description of the missing
man tn the hope that he can be located.
H Is of slight build, flv feet six Inches In
height, thin face, without beard or mou
tache, with v pale complexion, dark "hair
roached up In front. His eyes sre blue.
At ths time of his disappearance he wore
a dark brown overcoat, black derby hat,
black necktie with red spots, light strlpad
trousers and brown mocha mittens. .
