The contest ejvne between W. W. Bingham
arVI Frank A. Broadwell, to decide which
of then was ?K1ly elected to the office
Of clerk of the district court at the lust
lection, was begun before County Judge
"Vlnsonhalv yesterday.
Everything point to a prolonged hear
ing over certain format matter before
the Interesting features of the cane If It
tiaa any .re reached. The fire testimony
consisted of the Identification of the poll
hook and the boxes containing the reg
ular ballots and those which, contained the
unused and spoiled ballots.
The first witness was Jtimes Grace, a
clerk of ejection In th First precinct of
the First ward In South Omaha. Mr. Orac
aid the number of baliota exceeded the
names on the reglstratlrm books by three,
and to even up matter the election of
flolals drew out th re ' bailors, promlscu
' uty, placed them In an envelop and did
not count them for cither party.
Rasmus Larson, Judg of election In th
First praolnct of the Second ward, said
that In his precinct four spoiled ballots
bad been placed In an envelepe and put In
the box containing th unused and spoiled
ballots and that oner of theae consisted of
a ballot wherein the elector had cast his
. vote for all four parties.
Other wltneane Included James B. Smith,
sui official In the Second of the First; T.
A. Dal'ey In the Second of the Second and
- .Edward Newton In th First of th Third.
Charles Unltt has been named a teller
for Bingham and A. L. Knab as teller
toy BroatfwelL V
Ctonattng th Ballots.
Yesterday afternoon the counting of the
vote was begun. The yotes In th First
precinct of th First ward and th First of
th Fourth In South Omaha were counted.
Seventeen rofes In the First of th First
wr laid aside because of a technicality
nd Judge Vlnsonhaler will rule this morn-
ng whether they may be counted of not
ilne elector has, for example, placed, an a.
' :ln th circle at th head of th ballot and
ppposlt th name: "Republican," thus In
'dtcatlng, to one who did hot exactly know
the elector's Intentions In th matter, that
he desired to vote the ticket straight. At
least, that Is B. O. Burbank's claim, th
Attorney for W. W. Bingham, th con
testant. Further down In th sam ballot, th
lectors have voted for democrats and re
publicans at random, seemingly. Should
the court decide that an elector by marking
In th circle opposite th nam of a party
thereby committed to vote the whola ticket,
then th seventeen ballots wlls be entirely
discarded.
In the First of th Fourth seven votes
wer laid asld upon th sam contin
gency. Th entire vote in the First of th Fifth
was not counted for the reason that th
votes ' were, signed by one clerk and on
judge, whereas th statute states that they
hall b signed by th two judges. This
matter vaa. made an Issu in a former
election ' contest in this city and a ruling
In accord with th above was confirmed by
th suirem court. If these are thrown
out Bingham will be th gainer, as Broad
well had a plurality of thirty-one In the
First of th Fifth at th last election.'" !

COURT CHANGES ITS DECREE
Judge Bastes Refuses to Allow
Woman Fifty Dollars a Moatk
t Alimony
Th divorce action Instituted by Mrs.
Sarah Ver Mehren against- Herman Ver
Mehren reached another stage yesterday,
when Ver Mehren asked for an order
changing the decree of the court which
was Issued some time ago In which Ver
Mehren was to pay Mrs. Ver Mehren .the
sum of $50 per month as alimony for the
support of herself and their two children.
The matter was heard before Judge Bax
ter and he annulled a restraining order
which had previously been Issued in the
case and denied the application for an In
junction, the purpose of which was to pro
vent Mrs. Ver Mehren from attempting to
secure the allowance of $00 which the court
had established. Ver Mehren claimed that
he should not be compelled to pay this
amount, sine the two children had recently
come to him and that he was supporting
them, and for this reason ha should ..be
permitted to apply some portion of the $60
to thtt end, and that Mrs. Ver Mehren
should hot bo given a regular monthly al
lowance of so large an amount

INHERIT PAPA'S SACACITY
Daughters of Osnsral Managtr Isocrot
If its Wis InTsstmenta
INDUCE HIM "TO BUY THEM MINING STOCK
They Sell Oat ar Bl Premlatn aae
Then It Develops that the
Stocks are Worth
less. A story told at Union Paclflo headquar
ters seems to bear out the belief that th
children of W. H. Bancroft, the new gen
eral manager ef that line, seem to have
Inherited some of their father's shrewdness
and business sagacity.
The story goes that Mr. Bancroft two
little daughters, aged 10 and 12 years, were
visiting him at his office In Salt Lake City
one day. During their visit a man cam
In who derlred to sell their papa some
mining stock. Mr. Bancroft did not take
kindly to the proposition, but after the
man had labored some time with the gen
eral manager, on of tha little girls spok
up and said: ' '
"Papa, I wish you would buy some of
the stock for me; the mine has such a
pretty name."
Th other little girl chimed In at this
Juncture and expressed a desire for som
of th certificates on the same grounds
that the name appealed to her.
The father responded that It they were
willing to glv up their savings they might
be the proud possessors of a block of the
stock. This . they agreed to do and th
deal was made. One of the children se
cured 100 worth and th other ISO.
Let Go of the Stock.
Time wore on and both children and the
father had forgotten the stock deal, when
one day a man appeared at the house and
stated that he had come to buy tha stock
In cAse the owners vere willing to part
with It. They both considered the matter
and talked It over between themselves,
Anally deciding that they would not take
the price offered, which would net them
about 1150 each. In a short time there
after another man appeared on the soene
and tried to buy the stock at 250. but both
of the girls refused th offer, and a week
later an offer of 1300 each was mad by
tha same man. yhen the last offer cam
to hand a long consultation was held and a
decision was reached to sell the stock.
Th buyer paid the money over and it
went back into the bank accounts of th
children.
A few daya later Mr. Bancroft spok of
ths stock, it having been brought to his
attention in some manner, at th dinner
table, saying:
"I see by ths quotations that the stock
you bought In th mine, that day at my
office' is worthless. Th vein has played
out."
"Yes, but, papa," responded both of th
girls In chorus, "we have sold out." '
'Great was the amusement of the father
when he learned of the transaction which
had taken place about two days before the
mine was declared worthless.
This story comes, direct from a close
friend ,of Mr. Bancroft Jn Salt Lake City
and Its truthfulness Is vouched for.
CONGESTION IN THE EAST
Freight Badly Tied Vp Becaase of
Storms aad Western Traffic
1 Affected,
Eastern railway lines have notified local
representatives during the past fW daya
that business for eastern points' can not
be accepted with any degree of certainty
of arriving at destination promptly until
about the middle of the week. Traffic is
very badly congested in the east on ac
count of the heavy storms which have
been prevailing there. Although the snow
has been pretty well cleared oft In moat
places, so much traffic was delayed while
it was on that th roads hav all they
can do for th present to get delayed
shipments out of th way. Train ratings
all hav been Increased to enable tha lines
to get the delayed traffic moved, and for
this reason none of the regular running
schedules can be made. The same causes
are also responsible for delays on carload
shipment of westbound frleght. Frefght
which Is now being received from Omaha
shippers for eastern delivery Is being car
ried along a division at a time, so that it
may bo delivered to eastern connections
when the congestion has subsided.

pals;B ThJlaVsS-r.
Eugene V. Debs, th socialist leader, was
an Omaha visitor yesterday, and called
at socialist headquarter In the McCague
block. , .
'I am not her on business connected
with the meeting of the national commit
tee," he said. "I merely happened to be in
Council Bluffs, where I am scheduled to
deliver a' lecture this evening under the
auspices of one of the Chicago lecture
bureaus, and just took a run over to
Omaha to meet some of my old friends of
the 'national committee, whom I have not
seen for a long time. I am not lecturing
particularly on socialism Just now. The
subject; of my talk at Council Bluffs this
evening will be along the lines of the
'higher Ideals of labor and has no political
significance whatever. I have Just re
turned from a lecturing tour through the
Indian Territory, Oklahoma and Texas and
will go from here to South Dakota.
'I think the socialistic idea is growing
slowly and I anticipate that it will figure
very significantly In the coming presi
dential campaign. The national committee
Is very energetic and aggressive and Is ar
ranging for an active campaign this year.
"This is my first visit to Omaha for
about two years,' and I always remember
with pleasure my visit to Th Be estab
lishment, which Is one of th greatest in
th country. I have always entertained, a
verx, high regard for Mr. Bosewater, whom
I esteem as one of the great men of the
country. He reminds me much of Mark
Hanna in many of his characteristics. Ha
Is a great . organiser and a persistent
worker and I hav always regarded him
as a staunch friend of labor, and tnls opin
ion is shared by many of my friends all
over th country.
' "I am not doing much In politics Just
now. I hav been lecturing for tha past
two year on labor topics andybefor many
and varied audiences, and find that the
great mass of th peopl ar not so avrse

' "Soma two months ago the Milwaukee

was appointed to Inquire Into the matter
and report, and apparently It Is taking its
time and occupying considerable latitude.
Several Milwaukee men,' Superintendent
Blodgett of Syracuse, N. Y., and myself
have been considered.' I was asked to go

accorded Mr. Blodgett.
"No definite proposition ha been made

think the committee will report before
March 1 and that an election will be held
some time during that month.
