This school ticket was placed In nomina
tion last night by the democratic, school
con veii'lon.
Chairman J. J. Hughes of the city cen
tral committee, called the conversion to
order and after reading the call named
W. II. Thomas as chairman. Lee Evans
was selected as secretary and the tem
porary organization was made permanent
after the gathering hud gone through the
formality of having a committee on cre
dentials report on the delegates.
Chairman Thomas refrained from making
any speech or even going through the old
time custom of thanking the convention for
"the honor" of being called upon to pre
side. The feature of the convention was
ballots
A call of the precincts brought out the
following candidates for members of the
school board: John I. Lutz. S. B. Keller,
P. O. Mikesell. One of these candidates
was evidently not to the liking of Mnjor
George H. Richmond of the Becond ward,
as ho objected to any candidate being
named whore qualification was, as he put
It, thut he was a resident of a ward which
demanded representation on the school
board. The democratic party, he Insisted,
should nominate only men of culture, edu
cation and stnndlng In the community for
such an office. Tho party, he said, had
such men In Its ranks. He was greeted
with considerable applause when he re
sumed his seat.
On motion of J. J. Hughes, 8. S. Keller
was accorded a renomlnatlon by acclama
tion and then a formal ballot was taken,
which resulted In nominating John I. Lutz
and bringing out A. T. Elwell and Dr. C.
It. Bower. Another formal ballot nom
inated Elwell by 35 votes against 26 for
Dr. Bower.
Oeorge S. Davis was renominated for
treasurer on the first ballot but not, how
ever., without opposition as Louis Zur
muehlen, Jr., received 24 votes.
The convention then adjourned after the
city central committee had been author
ized to fill any vacancies which might oc
cur. This was deemed recessary as It
was not at all certain that Mr. Elwell will
accept the nomination.
When notified of his nomination, Mr.
Elwell positively declined to be a candi
date and the city central committee was
hastily called together by Chairman
Hughes and It filled the vacancy by nam
ing Dr. M. J. Bellinger.
PRovinn for riRB protection.
City Council Decides It Can Raise the i
Money.
The section of the city south of Sixteenth
avenue Is to be afforded fire protectlch.
This was decided upon at the meeting of
the committee of the whole of the city
council yesterday, which will recommend
that an appropriation of $5,000 be made this
year for the equipment and maintenance of
an engine house In that part of the city.
This appropriation will be made at the
time the various amounts for the mainte
nance of the reveral city departments for
the fiscal year beginning April 1 are ap
propriated. In arriving at this decision the aldermen
realized the absolute necessity for fire pro
tection In the southern part of the city,
one of the ptrongest arguments for Its need
being the Twentieth avenue school building
of twelve rooms, crowded with children,
and completely without protection In case
of fire. Further, the fact stared the com
mittee In the face that this section of the
city Is well built up and largely populated
and was Justly entitled to what It asked. If
there was any possible way at all by which
tho necessary funds could be raised. After
a conference with the city treasurer and
auditor the committer decided that the
money could be secured In some way or
another.
The city will Install a combined chemical
engine and hose cart with a crew of three
men and the people of that section of the
city will for their part erect a suitable
building for an engine house and lease
same to the city at a rental which will
give them a fair Interest on their money,
the city to have an option to purchase .he
building whenever It deems fit. T. A. Brc
wlck. president of the South Side Improve
ment club. Informed the committee that the
people living south of 6txteenth avenue
stood rtady to put up the building at a
moment's notice.
In appropriating $5,000 It is figured that
the equipment of the fire station will take
about $2,500. A combination chemical and
hose curl, it Is figured, will cost $1,500;
team of horses $40. and other necessary
equipment for the house about $ri00. It Is
possible, however, Chief Temple ton thought,
that these figures might be scaled down
somewhat and that a saving might be made
by building the wagon at home and pur
chasing the chemical tank separate and
..n i puiung u on nere,
The salaries of three
men for a year will be $2,160.
...R4 ' Reports from the city treasurer and audl
...4iii tor disclosed the fact that the municipality
was butter oft financially than had been
" thought. When the appropriations were
'.:h blade for the fiscal year which Is now draw
..31 ' to a eloso the total revenue of the gen
...13,cral fund was estimated at about $71,000.
The receipts, however, have exceeded $75,000,
while the
expenses of the departments
nuitntalnrd out of the general fund will not
exceed $70.Gu0. The disbursements from the
general fund for the fiscal year ending
March ra. liWl. were $SD.301.0t. and City
Treasurer True stated yesterday that he
did not think they would exceed that
amount fur this year.
When the fiscal year closes on March 31
it la estimated there will be close upon
H.OiO left from the amount appropriated to
meet the deficiency in the water fund, and
this etui be used toward defraying the ex
pense of Installing the engine house In the
southern part of the city. This year about
II, ooi hud to be appropriated for the ex
penses of the city election, but during the
coming fiscal year this will be one Item
which will be aaved, as the next city elec
tion will not be until the spring of 19u.
Then again all receipts above the amounts
appropriated are at the end of the nacal
year turned Into the contingent fund, and
It will probably be from this fund that the
great or part of what will be needed to pro
vide fire protection In the southern part of
the city will be drawn. In any case the

liberations yesterday and adjourned, after
returning one lone Indictment. As there
are several Jury cases for trla.1 this term
Judge McPherson ordered that fifteen of
the grand Jurors be retained to serve as
petit Jurors.
The one Indictment was against George
I Wilkinson, postmaster at Neola, on a
charge of illegally detaining a certain Issue
of the Neola Reporter and refusing to Fend
the papers out on the rural routes. Post
master Wilkinson's offense Is said to have
been committed entirely through Ignorance
of his powers as ,iostmnstr. It seoms that
on December 12 the Neola Reporter, which
!S a weekly paper, published at Neola, thl
county, and entitled to . free delivery 111
the county, contained a four-page supple
ment, said to have been printed by a demo
cratic paper In Omaha. Postmaster Wilkin
son was of the opinion that this supplement
was not entitled to free delivery and re
ported to the department at Washington.
The department in February notified Mr.
Wilkinson to collect the postage on that
particular Issue of the Reporter, amount
ing to $2. He failed to collect, so on
February 24, In order to force the collection
he refused to send out the week's issue
until the postage due was paid. In tlJs
the grand Jury held, evidently, that ho
exceeded his power ami committed an
Indictable offense. Subsequently, tho de
partment at Washington, through tho ef
forts of Congressman Hitchcock, It Is spiil.

the supplement, although not printed In
the county, formed an Integral part of thnt ! tf pormt tn( reapportionment of the sUile

men from garnishment Is to come up In
another form In the house. The new bill
provides for a flut exemption of $) a
month In the wages and ail above this to
be subject to garnishment. It has been
changed in the committees so that In case
garnishment actions are brought where It
is shown that tb wages attached were not
tftemfit, theft tbs ocata should fall on tho
creditor. But even In this modltled form
the bill will be strongly opposed In the
house. It Is urged by the retail grocers

The supreme court today tiled an amended
decision In the case from Dallas county,
involving back taxes on the estate of 1..
Cardell The court had previously held
that the back taxes could he collected b
Webster, Kossuth ami Dallas counties
under the tax ferret systeti-. Now the
court finds that In the case of Dallas county
the treasurer had never In fact mado the
actual assessment of the property lit fore
commencing suit, a fact overlooked by the
court before, hence that as to Dallas county
the taxes are void. A large sum Is In
volved In the taxis on this estate.

Elevntor ccldent Verdict.
The Jury called by the coroner to Investi
gate and report on the net Id.-nt at the
state house when two women lost their
lives In an elevator reported this after
noon and made a report which divides re
sponsibility. The primary re.ionsiliill;y
was placed on the state for the method
of operating the elevators and fnm the
fact that the men who run tho elevators
are selected for political reasons und not
because of skill in sacli work; but the
direct responsibility was divided between
the operator, who has since resigned and
been supplnnted by another employe by
resolution of the general assembly, and
the two women who were the victims. Tho
Jury confined Itself largely to a statement
of the facts as they were found.
