THE OMAFIA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, MAY 9, 1004. CURRENT COUNCIL TWO ClAIMLNC A MAJORITY Both Kimball and Hens Assert They Have Eaongk Delegates to Win. OTHERS THINK IT IS ANYBOIY'S FIGHT Watty for Clerk of the Court Appears to Bo the Only Aspirant Wlo II m Clear alUs for m domination. Clem F. Kimball, candidate for the re publican nomination for county attorney, was claiming last night, that he would go Into the convention Thursday with prob ably 110 votes, this Nlng 21 more . than necessary for nomination on the first bal lot. Mr. Kimball claims that seven of the city delegations and five from the country precincts are solid for him. On the other hand 3. J. Hess and his friends were also claiming a majority of the delegates. Everything, however, points to an Interesting and possibly somewhat exciting content for this nomination. II. V. Battey of Avoca, candidate for the nomination for clerk of the dlstrlot court, appears to be the only one who has a clear field, and It looks as If he would be nomi nated by acclamation. For the nomination for auditor, recorder and one member of the 13onrd of Supervisors there undoubt edly will be lively contests, and as matters now stand It Is practically Impossible to name the winners. AIium tu c't.'... niilewalks. Mayor Mncrse has had City Attorney Snyder draft an ordinance amending the present one regulating the use of side walks for display purposes In front of business houses. The present ordinance permits the use of thirty Inches for the display of merchandise and It Is claimed this privilege has been grossly abused. For Instance, a wholesale grocery house has for years, It Is said, ' kept a row of unsightly salt barrels on the sidewalk In front of Its place of business on one of the main streets. When asked by Mayor Macrae to remove the barrels as bejng an eyesore, the manager of the firm claimed that under-the ordinance It had the right to the use of thirty Inches of the sidewalk and the barrels are still much In evidence. The new ordinance, It Is said, will also pro hibit the standing of wagons and all kinds of vehicles on the sidewalks and In the public streets. This section of the ordl- rtannk la ntinnd 'n.t fnrinln Hvervmpn and business firms who mike a practice of standing their wagons over night on ho sidewalk or In the street In front of their barns The ordinance,' It Is understood, will h IrttrnrtiipAd tit the meetlnff of the city council tonight.

STATE OAS GOOD SEED CORN Turn Operated by it to Be a Model for Others to Oodj From. REPUBLICAN POLITICS QUIET DOWN Railroads Close Small Stations Be cause Operators WUI Not Work for the Small Pay. Offered. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, May 8.-Specla:.) While the State college has sent an expedition to advise the farmers In the matter of se lection of seed corn at thi.i season of the year, and to assist tbe fanners of Iowa in getting good crops of corn started for the coming season, the state farms at the various state Institutions are well supplied with good seed corn and there is a feeling that good crops are all but assured at the present time. It has been the purpose of the members of the State Board of Control to make of these state farms models for the rest of the state, both In the growing of grain and in live stock and In vege tables. To this end the superintendents have been given lessons In seed corn gath ering for several years. The seed for the state farms was all gathered and cared for last fall, ' and has been preserved in ac cordance with instructions sent out by John Cownle, chairman of the state board. Mr. Cownle has Just completed a test of the corn from all the state farms and finds that from 94 to 96 per cent of the samples grow strong and healthy. His in structions to tbe superintendents contem plated disposing of the seed corn question not In the spring, but in the fall. As a result of this aggressive movement the state4 farms are now becoming recog nized as leaders In corn growing, and Chairman Cownle says that this is not the time of the year to consider the seed corn question at all. Republican Politics. The republican state convention will be held ten days hence In this city. It prom ises to be a decidedly tame affair, as the fight between factions has been fought out In the counties and everything over which there was any controversy has been set tled by agreement. There will be no fight over the platform utterances, as there is a perfect understanding as to substantially what should be said and neither faction is anxious for a further quarrel on that score. The platform utterances will be so guarded that the Iowa republicans will not be In antagonism to the national party on either protection as a principle nor on re ciprocity. There has been no change the last few weeks In regard to the prospec tive members of the Iowa delegation to Chicago save that of having a new candi date -come to the front In this district as a distinct stand-patter. This Is Dr. Host tetter of Story county, the stand-patters desiring to divide even with the friends of Governor Cummins in this district. It is now believed Hosttetter will win. In all the other districts the prepared slate has suffered no amendment for some time. The republican state committee will open head quarters temporarily very soon. Weaver Goes to Minnesota. -General James B. Weaver and Charles A. Walsh have gone with the Hearst forces into Minnesota to take charge of the cam paign to secure instructions from the demo crats of that state for Hearst. General Weaver has now fully identified himself with the democrats and hopes to become one of the recognised leaders for the party, Mr. Walsh, who represents Iowa on the national democratic committee, has been in the employment of tbe Hearst people for a number of months and has done much ef fective work In Iowa and some other states. It Is learned that the Hearst campaign In this state cost directly about 85,000, and it was all spent in employing persons to work In different ports of the state, save a little that was spent in paying the railroad fare of Hearst delegates and their hotel bills here In Des Moines. Operators, but No Pay. It Is now explained by tha railroad men that the reason for the shutting up of so many of the smaller stations on their lines In Iowa is not because the companies can not find operators, but because they cannot be had for the wages that the managers are willing to give for the service expected. They insist upon securing men at the small stations to work for pay in proportion to the business done. Operators cannot be secured who will consent to this, hence many of the stations are closed and the telephone method Is used to handle the business. A boy can be employed to keep the station open and attend to the freight and telephone communication with the next station enables him to work without being an operator.

(Special.) If the in vitations sent out by the State Board of Equalization are responded to, the railroad representatives tomorrow, who are to ad dress the board, will speak not only to the board, but to a number of the most prominent advocates of equal taxation In the state. It has been the rule In former hearings before the board for the railroad representatives to have their little say and for those who had any complaints to make to come down later and have their say The meeting will begin at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Secretury Bennett and Charles Bigg, whom he recently employed with the ap proval of the board, have about completed their task of compiling the reports and will submit the compilation, with the ex ception of the earnings and capital stock of the different linos of the different sys terns, when the board meets. The earn lngs and capital stock of these lines that moke up the systems will have to be omitted at this timo from the compilation for the reason that the roads failed to moke the returns in these matters. Just what the outcome will be it is not known. but It will bo used as an argument to as. sess the railroads as a unit This question may come up at the board meeting tomor row, but it is not likely.

OFFICERS . START IN OS CLEANUP Arrest of Herrings Only a Bessrnnins; tn that Q-oartef. NORFOLK, Neb., May 8. (Special.) The arrest during the past week, at Naper, Neb., of the three Herring brothers, on tbe technical charge of horse stealing, but who are believed by the officers to be connected with the robbery of the Bank of Naper a few weeks ago, is considered as but a be ginning In a cleaning up that will follow between now and next fall along the edge of the Rosebud. For a number of years there has been continual rustling of cattle, horses and other property In that section, and the an imals and stock have never been traced, after once disappearing. They have been transferred over on the reservation, han dled by confederates In that section and in a systematic and wild west fashion have been smuggled and moved far out into the north, then east and sold on the markets. The three Herring brothers are men be tween 82 and 40 years of age. Their place of abode and their mode of living is unique to a degree, and might afford a thread for the dime novelist which would raise the hair of the American youth quite as effectively as the romances of "Nick Car ter" or "Diamond Dick." Off to the southwest corner of Naper, which Is a small town in the far northwest ern end of Boyd county, Neb., stretches a prairie that is flat and monotonous. Hers and there It is broken by a stream, whloh wends its way through the country and provides a convenient place of conceal ment. Twelve miles from Naper, down un der the shadow of the bank of one of these streams. Is a little square hut built of solid rock and with no door, no window,) not even a crack except upon one side. No one knows much about the place, for It Is far away from the populated district. Here It is that the Herrings, rough, red faced men, who allow the results of a frontier life upon their every feature, have lived in a mysterious way for sev eral years. They have made a pretense, It Is said, of farming and have gone so far as to plant a few hills of potatoes. But during most of the time they are away from home, leaving the rock house locked. It is said that they return with new saddles and strange horses from their trips, and in the raid which the officers made upon their den a pair of mules which are alleged to belong to a cltlsen of the county, were found. It was S o'clock In the morning that the three sheriffs, one from Keya Paha county, one from Boyd and another from Howard, together with an armed posse of men, got around the cabin and besieged it By means of a ruse the officers got the three Herrings alive, but they resisted so that they had to be put in irons before they could be taken to jail at Butte. At one time there were two houses right near the Herring place. They were va cant. A tenant was secured for one and was to move In the next day. The previous night, however, brought mysterious de struction to both those houses. One was torn down and the other burned. No one ever knew who did It, but It was done for purpose evidently. There ha been a big gang of robbers in that new northwest There will be a clean. Ing up. Officers are on the track of others right now and they will be cleared this summer. Da wen County Men Mini.
