LINCOLN. March 19 (Sperlal.)-While
the reports from Omaha Indicate that K. E.
le Herdman, clerk of the supreme court,
and his reorgsnlzcrs are to have trouble In
winning out against the Bryan faction, the
Indication here are that the Bryan faction
will have trouble In scoring against the
Herdman element. According to a state
ment made by a radical Bryan man today
a committee on "deviltry" haa been ap
pointed to especially harass and worry Mr.
Bryan and all of hla friend from now until
they are act upon In the atata convention.
Thin committee la said to Include In Its
make up J. H. Hartey, W. C. Wilson. A. J.
Sawyer. W. B. Price and J. O. Maher, the
latter working under Herdmsn'e Instruc
tions and bringing about the organisation.
In order to gain sympathy for their cause
the Bryan men are Just now telling It that
Herdman has made a contract with tne
leaders of the republican party that he la to
retain his place as clerk of the supreme
court Just aa long aa he will keep stirring
up strife in the ranks of the democrats,
and especially la this contract to be In er
fect until the first of the year. This, or
course. Is believed by a few democrats who
are lukewarm In their support of Herdman
and Is being told for all It Is worth.
80 far. however, no republican has been
found who Is willing to cast any such re-
..i., h. renuhlloan members of the
supreme court, snd It Is the general belief
that the clerk will ne namea jnei - --
as the Judges desire to name him. regaroV
less of democratic dissensions. In the mean
time should the clerk not be named before
tke state convention meets In May, a re
publican of this town ha signified hla In
tention to Introduce a resolution to call
upon the supreme court to appoint a re
publican to the place. No great pressure
has been brought to bear on the case yet.
for the reason that Le Herdman'a time Is
not nut until April, and It Is not improbable
that as soon as that time la out the court
will be getting together. The mention of
Harry Lindsay for the place haa delayed
matters and the settlement of the contro
versy over the appointment of a United
Htates district attorney has had something
to do probably with the slowness with
which the two republican Judges of the
court are getting together.
Depend aa Brr Himself.
As for the democratic scrap out In the
state. Herdman haa perfected an organisa
tion that Is worthy of the name, so It ts
believed, and It Is not unlikely that Mr.
Herdman la aomewhat tickled with the re
tirement of Commissioner Duffle and the
holding over of Commissioner Oldham. At
this time the reports from out In the state
Indicate that Lee Herdman la the big boss
of the party and even the Bryan faction
here, where it la stronger than anywhere,
has to admit that Herdman haa the upper
hand. They apparently are not doing a
thing to eav the day. but they have a
trump card to play at tha laat minute and
they will play It strong. That Is Mr.
Bryan hlmaelf. They believe that thla lit
tle scrap going on now and all tha noise
thst Is being msde will amount to nothing
when Mr. Bryan steps Into , tha Omaha
convention. "They claim" It wlH b a repe
tltlon of the Columbua convention, where
the sentiment was so strong against Mr.
Bryan that It looked aa though he would
be kept clear out of the convention until
he reached Columbus, and then It was ell
Bryan. He said do this and do that and
It was dona. It Is Mr. Bryan that, the
antl-Merdman men are depending upon to
save the state to Bryan and they believe
he will do It, though they are forced to
admit that at this time Herdman la their
boss.
The withdrawal of BJchard Metcalfe as a
candidate fort delegate-at-large to the na.
tlonal convention la taken here to have
been caused by the Interference of Mr.
ntchcock. The Bryan democrats here say
that Hitchcock wants to be able to land
his paper In the right column no matter
who wlna out In tha present fight, and it
was for this reason that ha made Metcalfe
get out of tha running ao It would be easier
for tha paper to land. The other side say
that Metcalfe saw tha handwriting on the
wall and waa afraid of being thrown out.
President Teeters of the Board of Regent
of the State university today gave out a
atement to the press in which he said
that It was not Illegal for the regents to
take tha Rockefeller gift- Aa for the 18,000
appropriated to buy the ground by tha laat

A number of officers of the National

from an agent of the Japanese government
or some one Interested In tha success of
Japan In tta present war. to Join the Japa
nese army. The offer Is that the recipient
will receive a rank higher by one grade
than he at present holds snd his salary
will be 11,200 a year. Company B at fltan
ton Is the first to report the receipt of the
offers. Adjutant General Culver believes
It unlikely that any member of the guard
will acoepl the proposition, as It la against
the neutrality laws of this country and
any who accept would be punished.

The regular meeting of book agents was
held at the office of the stste superintend
ent today, the occasion being a meeting of
the Reading Circle board, an organisation
of Nebraska school teachers, for tha pur

year. The board Is composed of Annie V.
Dsy of Oage, A. I.. Thomas of Kearney,
M. R. Snodgrass of Wayne, Superintendent

of seven publishing houses were present.
Keeping; Tak Military Mea.
Adjutant General Culver has sent a let
ter to the company commanders of the Na
tional guard, asking for the names of those
who are eligible to command volunteers in
case of need. This Is done In accordance
with a recent order of the War department
and It Is tha desire that with the namea
be sent the record of the parlies, whether
they belong to tha guard or not.
Omaha Men Want fhaaet,
The State Board of Education Is being de-
tuged with requests from Omnha to change
the contract for the building of the Norfolk
asylum so that brick manufactured In
Omaha may be used Instead of the Twin
City brick, as specified. It Is not likely
that the hoard will make the change, how
ever. It Is claimed that the Omaha brick
are Just as good and are the same color
as the brick specified, and that owing to
the fact that the freight rate would be
less than from Minneapolis it would save
money. The money, however, would not be
saved to the state for the reason that, al
though the contractor has signified his wil
lingness to use the Omaha brick, he Is un
willing to take a price less than that speci
fied In his contract.
The board was to have met thla after
noon to discuss the matter, but owing to
the absence of Attorney X3eneral Prout no
meeting was held. One member of tha
board said that It waa not probable that the
board would make the change, for it might
necessitate the letting of another contract,
and that the board wanted to avoid. Had
the Omaha brick been specified In the bids
It Is probable that an Omaha contractor
who came very near being tha lowest bid
der would have secured tha contract be
cause he would not have to pay ao much
rrelght on the brick. For this reason it is
not likely that the brick will be bought In
Omaha.
Ho Ringing; for Central.
Lincoln subscribers to the Nebraska tele
phone took down their receivers and got
"central" without ringing a bell. This waa
because the new switchboard haa been in
stalled and today noon waa put In active
operation. Inatead of having to ring for
ventral" by the workings of the new
board it is only necessary to take the re
ceiver from A he hook and she is "got."
This act upon the part of the subscriber
lights a small electric globe In front of
the central operator, who of course at
once rings up the party wanted. Aa soon
as the lost party takes down the receiver
another light flashes up, and aa long aa
both partlea keep down their receivers
these lights remain. Aa soon as either
hangs up the receiver the light flashes out,
and this Is the signal for central to take
down the connection. Thla will rrevent
tne constant 'through, -waiting, through,"
so noticeable under the old system. To at
tract central while talking It la only neces
sary to manipulate the hook upon which
the receiver hangs This causes the light
to flash on and off.
The new board Is of ths ssme kind that
is now being Installed In Omaha,

Baray Wants a New Ballalna.
PAPIIXION. Neb.. March 19.-8peclal.)
The question that la troubling the taxpay
er of Sarpy county is whether to enlarge
and remodel th present court house or to
build a new one. Th building aa It now
stands Is Insufficient to accommodate the
new offices, which arc bunched up two In
a room. The present court house, in the
opinion of many, is a disgrace to the
county. Some years ago other towns In
the county made effort to have the county
seat moved from Papllllon. and it is now
stated that Gretna, a very enterprising
town, knowing that a new building is a
necessity, will put In an oar and evert
every effort to have the capital changed to
that place.
