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 legislature, which a morning paper per stts in saying coat 16.000, Mr. Teeters said the remaining $3,000 was In tha state treas ury and would remain there until the re gents concluded to buy more land. Ha said tha resents secured an option on the TUB VALU8 OP CMARCOU.

Japan After flnnrd Officers. A number of officers of the National gusrri of the state have reoelved letters 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 pose of selecting a course of study for the year. The board Is composed of Annie V. Dsy of Oage, A. I.. Thomas of Kearney, M. R. Snodgrass of Wayne, Superintendent Fowler and J. W. Melgel. Representatives 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, Celebrate Fifty-Sixth Anniversary. HUMBOLDT. Neb.. March 19.-Hiwln Wedneaday. all the children of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. A.
