RESULT OF A JUDICIAL COMPROMISE
Ji4(fl Sedgwick Barnes F.aeh
Had a Cundldate and Keltner
Willing; ta Vole for tba
Other's Man.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 4. (Special.) While little
noise haa been made of late In the contest
for tho position of clerk of the supreme
court. It In expected that the two repub
lican member. Judge Sedgwick and Judge
Bamea, will get together yery shortly, pos-
albly thla week, and agree upon the man
who la to succeed Robert E. L. Ilerdmaji
In that capacity. Ho far aa la known the
different candidates are all still hopeful,
but a new turn haa been had In the last
two or three weeks which haa changed the
relative position.
It la understood that Judge Sedgwick's
personal preference would be Victor Sey
mour of thla city, now one of the court
reporters In the district court, while Judge
flames la supposed to be most friendly to
H. D. Jackson of Nellgh. The other candi
dates, which Include ex-Representative
I. ane, Deputy Attorney General Rose of
this city, W. W. Slabaugh of Omaha and
one or two others, were figuring that their
hope would lie In a disagreement with a
chance for a compromise. The disagree
ment hs evidently come, but the compro
mise, If rumor Is correct, will lay In a
different direction and result In the seleo
tlon of II. C, Lindsay of Pawnee City for
the big plum.
Mr. Undsay la the chairman of the re
publican state committee and has been ever
since the presidential compalgn of 1900. He
managed successfully the campaign that
landed both Judge Sedgwick And Judge
Barnes upon the bench and his claims to
recognition are as strong as any that could
be put forward. I'p to the present he bos
been standing hs a candidate for the ap
pointment of United States district attor
ney and confidently counted upon securing
the place, but the complications growing
out of the Dietrich Indictment, with the
probability that the snarl would be solved
only by the selection of a new man, haa
been used by hta friends to urge him for
the present appointment. If no serious ob-
tacle stands In the way. When the fu
Ishmlsts secured control of the supreme
T court four years ago they did not lose
much time In securing the retirement of
Supreme Court Clerk Campbell to make
way for Mr. Herdman, and the newly con
stituted court In now expected to have no
special compunctions about asking for Mr.
Herdman's withdrawal.
MannlnaT for Fellmer's Place.
Word come from the north that J. R,
Manning, who Uvea at Carroll, In Wayne
county, haa decided definitely to become a
candidate for commissioner of public lands
to succeed Land Commissioner Follmer.
Mr. Manning made a preliminary canvass
of his friends before entering the race and
will probably be the chief opponent to the
present deputy commissioner, H. L. Eaton,
for the land commissioner's office.
Faweett for Commissioner.
Judge Jacob Faweett of Omaha was this
afternoon appointed supreme court commis
sioner to take the plaos made vacant by the
elevation of Commissioner Barnes to the
supreme bench. Judge Faweett has Just
concluded his term as a judge of the dis
trict court of the Fourth district. He will
assume his new duties tomorrow.
Holcnnvb Chief Justice.
Occasioned by the recent election which
retired Chief Justice Sullivan, Judge Silas
Holcomb becomes chief justice when the
' court begins Its first session of the year to
morrow. The commissioners will be di
vided Into departments, aa follows: No. 1.
W. Q. Hastings, John H. Ames and W. D.
Oldham) No. 2, I. L. Albert, Jacob Faweett
and R. C. OlanvlIIe; No. S, B. R. Duflls,
John B. Klrkpatrlck and Charles B. Letton.
Th docket just Issued contained 470 care
that were pending before the court De

hot nt Social Evil.
The Ministerial association struggled with
the social evil this morning and Incidentally
fired a few hot shots at the excise board
and Mayor Adams and others because of
the presence In Lincoln of houses of 111
fame. The ministers condemned the prac
tice of fining the women of the half world
once a month, thus legalising a crime. The
paper of the day was read by Rev. Batten
of the First Baptiat church, who has been
In Lincoln about three months and came
with the reputation of a reformer. He was
at police court one morning recently, and
his paper covers the question In detail.
Urn Mora Revenue Litigation.
And now the impression la general that
there will be nothing further done to test
the validity of the new revenue law and th
decision In th case will, stand against time.
Th established rule of the court la that a
motion for a new trial in an original action
must be made within three days. The case
In question Is an original action because It
was brought direct In the supreme court
an1 did not coma up on appeal. The three
days have elapsed several times over and
the motion has not yet been filed. It Is
taken as evidence that nothing will be done
because Attorney Breckenrldge was at on
Urn Interested In a case along these lines.
and therefore la thoroughly familiar with
tb rules established.
Ankara Moves Steadily Forward.
AUBURN, Neb., Jan. 4. (Special.) The
city Of Auburn has passed Its twentieth
milestone and during all this time it has
had a steady growth. The laat year has
been no exception. Several substantial
business buildings have been constructed

b named the Avenue hotel. This Is a

RIFLE MAIL SACK AT CRAWFORD
Money and Vatunblee Mot Taken and
Motive for the Crime Is Only
Gneaaed at
CRAWFORD. Neb., Jan. 4-(Speclal.)-
On the arrival of the Northwestern train
from Casper last Tuesday evening the
mall sack for transfer to the Burlington
was placed on the dray, and while th
drayman's back was turned for a moment
the sack was stolen. Within a very short
time a party of cltlsens and a detachment
rff the cavalry from Fort Robinson were
scouring the country In search of the miss
ing mall sack, but no trace of It could be
found. There was no registered mall In
the sack, as the registered package was
sent to the postofUce here. Today a large
party of cltlxens started out with McFar-
lane's pack of hounds for a wolf hunt, and
Just aa the hounds entered the military
reservation i frollrksome pup, not know
ing the difference between the smell of a
wolf and a United States mall sack, took
up a keen scent which brought the pack
and the riders to the base ball grounds,
tinder the grand rtand of which the pack
captured the mlasing mail sack. It was
slashed from top to bottom snd the con
tents was scattered about the diamond.
About half oftthe leffers were opened, and
drafts, checks, etc.. were scattered about
with the loose pages of letters. Owing to
the fact that so many of the letters which
were opened were from the colored soldier
boys at Fort Robinson. It was suggested
by some that a jealous soldier merely
wished to Intercept a missive from a com
rade to a sweetheart. Letters with silver
money which could be readily detected
therein, were not opened. The hunters
quickly gathered together the mall matter,
placed It In the sack and brought It to
town, here It was given Into the custody
of Postmaster VanVoorhls, who Is holding
It In the condition received, for Instruc
tions from Washington. In the meantime,
and perhaps forever, some fond damsel
may wait for the letter that will never
arrive, and the dishonest debtor will Insist
that he remitted the cash to his creditor
In that Identical mall.

Beatrice Board Objects.
The Beatrice Board of Education sent In
a protest to the employment of Miss Ger
trude Warren In the Omaha schools, say
ing that Mla Warren proposed to defy the
Beatrice board and Jump a contract as
sumed last June, when the board elected
her to teach In the Beatrice schools, pre
sumably for a year. The Beatrice authori
ties consider the employment of Miss War
ren In Omaha a precedent that would be
detrimental to the schools of the state,
and court Injunctions are threatened If she
persists In coming to Omaha, where work
has been offered to her. The Omaha board
merely placed the letter on file without
comment, as it Is understood the Beatrice
board haa no contract with Miss Warren
and Is powerless to prevent her leaving
there.
Truant Officer Parker reported that he
had detected nine truants during December,
caused six arrests and sent thirty-six chil
dren to school, besides making 230 profes

ORGANIZING FOR ROOSEVELT
Clnb Movement Started In Lincoln
Kiprcts to Sprend Over
the State.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 4. (Special Tele
gram.) At a meeting of several hundred
republicans of Lancaster county held at
the courthouse tonight preliminary steps
were taken for the organization of Roose
velt clubs throughout the state and resolu
tions were adopted endorsing the candi
dacy of the president for the nomination
at the Chicago convention. The resolution
pledges the members of the club to use all
honorable means to secure a delegation
In from Nebraska, every member of
which la enthusiastically in favor
of his nomination and demanding
that the delegation shall be instructed by
the atate convention to work for and vote
for hla nomination first, last and all the
time. A second resolution was adopted en
dorsing the action of Governor Mickey for
the stand he has taken In behalf of the
president's candidacy. The same resolutions
were adopted at a meeting of the Veteran
Republican club held earlier In the evening,
the members, 100 strong, marching from
their room to the courthouse In a body.
J. H. Ager asked to be heard by the meet
ing and said: "The Burlington railroad Is
not opposed to the nomination of President
Roosevelt and the newspapers that are
publishing articles to the effect that it la
are doing the road an Injustice. I speak
with authority and therefore know that I
am right."
The meeting was a harmonious demon
stration for President Roosevelt and from
the time Elmer Stephenson Introduced Gov
ernor Mickey for temporary chairman till
the Ust speaker had concluded, the presi

PUNY CHILDREN.
It is a fact that quite a large percent
age of children born into this world are
bo unfortunate as to come of parents
whose physical condition is such that
the child gets but a poor start in life,
and the result is that as the days and
weeks pass by the poor little one does
not seem to grow in weight or strength,
but remains through no fault of its own
weak, debilitated &n4 peevish, and cries
the greater part of the time, thereby
giving misery and anxiety to its parents
and comfort to no one.
Struggle as they may the parents find
themselves unable to do more than keep
life in the child, and in their despera
tion they are willing, to try any remedy
or food which may be suggested to them
by their neighbors or friends.
There is now being introduced to
these parents a new preparation which
has not as yet failed to accomplish won
derful results in establishing sound
physical conditions in sickly children
and one that is absolutely guaranteed to
give relief and make a permanent cure.
Many people have been benefitted by
this remedy since it was first put upon
the market in January, 1903, and hun
dreds of testimonials are in possession
of Tite Milks' Emulsion Company of
Terre Haute, Ind., which you can se
cure by fcimply writing for them.
If you will buy a bottle of this Milks'
Emulsion at your druggist's at a cost of
50 cents and it does not accomplish tha
results claimed for it the druggist is
authorized to return the money to you.
Read this testimonial:
Milks' Emulsion Co,, Terre Haute, Ind.:
Gentlemen For a long time my little
boy was not well; he was sick at his
stomach, cross and peevish. I com
menced giving him Milks' Emulsion
and in a few days he was perfectly well
and in a short time had gained ten
pounds. I commenced giving it to my
six-months-old baby and found that it
made him fat and healthy. It is a good
remedy for croup and I would not be
without it in the house. I feel that I
cannot say too much for Milks' Emul
sion. Yours respectfully, Mas. John
Boyle.305 N. 9th St., Terre Haute, Ind.
Feb. 13, 1903.
This remedy is also absolutely guar
anteed to cure constipation, stomach
trouble, asthma and catarrh of all '"'I.
umn. During the meeting a telegram was
received from Havelock signed A. Myers
and C. W. Holmes, stating that "Havelock,
Irrespective of party, was for Roosevelt."
After the speaking those who signed the
call for the meeting were appointed a com
mittee to effect a permanent organization,

P0RJ0 RICANS NOT ALIENS
I nlted States Rnpreme Conrt So De
cides In the Old Oonaales
Caae.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-In an opinion by
Chief Justice Fuller the supreme court of
the United States today decided that the
cltlxens of Porto Rico axe not aliens of the
United States and that they are entitled to
enter this country without obstruction.
The opinion was delivered In the case of
the Porto Rlcan woman Gonzales who, In
1902, was refused admlsison to the por
of New Tork on the ground that she was
likely to becomo a public charge. The de
cision was based entirely on the Immigra
tion act of 1W1 and took the ground that
the Porto Rlcans owe allegiance to the
United States and to no other government.
Yearly Report.
The report of the officers of the Conserva
tive Savings ft Loan association to the
board of directors, covering the work of
the past year, shows an Increase of $1G0,
US. 28 In the business of the association.
The total earnings of the year are $81.
903.00. Out of thla two semi-annual divi
dends of 3 per cent each, or 6 per cent
for the year, were paid, the amount neces
sary to pay these being !53,933.(9.
This association has just completed Its
twelfth year of business, with asaets of
$1 .115.262.92. During the past twelve years
It has handled over Sd.OOO.OOO.OO at an ex
pense of less than 1 per cent of receipts,
and has distributed among Its members
over 200,000.00 In dividends.
As an example of what can be ac
complishd In handling the savings business
on the mutual plan, there Is nothing In
the west that comapres with this associa
tion. The present membership of the as
sociation now amounts to over 6.000 per
sons, most of whom live In and about
Omaha, although the mall business of the
association has been steadily on the In
crease in the last three years. In these
days of postal money orders It Is as easy
to do business with an association of this
kind by mall as It la In person.
The real estate loans of the Conservative
at the end of the year amount to over
ti .000,000.00, secured by first mortgages on
Improved property appraised by the board
of directors at J2.000.000. 00, with Insurance
In force on the loans amounting to $1,360,
000.00. The averago slse of loans Is $818.00.
The present reserve fund and undivided
profits are $33,942.30, thus assuring Its mem
bers against any possible loss which might
arise through depreciation of real estate
values.
The officers of the Conservative associa
tion believe that within the next few years
the savings business of this city will very
materially Increase, and that because of
the conservative management of this as
sociation, end because of the fact that Ita
dividends have never been" less than 6
per cent per annum, paid promptly semi
annually January 1 and July 1, It should
receive a very large percentage of that
Increase. In other words, the officers of
the Conservative Savings & Loan asso
ciation are optimistic as to the immediate
future of Omaha and their association.
