FIRST WARD REPUBLICANS
John P. Breen Addresses Meeting
a the Blackbnrn Flan for
Primaries. '
At a meeting of the First Ward Repub
lican club Friday night John P. Breen, one
of the candidates for the republican con
gressional nomination, exposed one of the
"Jokers" in Chairman Blackburn's pro
posed rules for Joint primaries. He pointed
out that the proposed rules provide for the
placing of the names of candidates for
delegates on the ballot In alphabetical
order, while they provide that the names
of candidates for congress shall be placed
on the ballot in the order of their filing.
Mr. Breen said the law requires the placing
of all names on a primary election ballot
In alphabetical order, and he did not see
why Mr. Blackburn should comply ' with
the lejy in regard to delegate names and
Ignore It In regard to the names of the
candidates to be' placed on the ticket for
preferential purposes. "Is It because the
name of one of the candidates begins with
a Q and that of another begins with a B?"
was the pertinent question put by Mr.
Breen.
Mr. Breen also criticised Chairman
Blackburn and the congressional commit
tee for assuming to dictate the manner and
method for holding the primaries In Doug
las county. "The congressional commit
tee," said he, "has no more right to single
out one of the counties in the congres
sional district and assume partial control
of Its primaries than the state committee
has to single out any one county and con.
duct Its internal political machinery." Mr.
Breen added, however, that he was willing,
for the sake of harmony, to abide by any
agreement made between the congres
sional and county committees for Joint pri
maries. The meeting of the First ward club was
largely attended and besides Mr. Breen the
speakers were W. F. CJurley and John L.
Kennedy, candidates for congress, and
Howard Kennedy, Jr., candidate for Judge
of the district court.
POLICE TURN COLLECTORS
Iaterrnpt a Weddlns; Party to Help
a Liveryman Get Ills
Money.
While preparing for her wedding, which
was to have taken place last nigutj Leila
Dlcksy and her two bridesmaids, Joslc
Morris and llmel Howard, all rooming at
Fifteenth and Howard streets, were gath
ered in by Officer Baldwin to give an. ac
count of a horse and buggy they hired
night before last and which they finally
mired in a pond near Courtland beach.
The three girls hired the rig fro"tn Jones'
barn on Thursday evening to have one final
spin and confidential chat before Miss
Dickey entered the bonds of matrimony.
They seemed to bo deeply engrossed in the
future of the happy girl, and before they
knew what they were about they had run
into a pond and were unublu to get out.
They telephoned the owners, who came
dowu and extricated the horse, and put in
a bill for ths expenses. As tha girls to
gether could not make the money required
they were let go on the understanding
that they would psy lster. As ths livery
barn people did net know any of them
they decided lsst night to put the matter
In the hands of the police.
The girls agreed to pay 118 for the whole
trouble and on that understanding they
were let go. While Captain Mostyn was
talking to them, there was hurricane and
tremendous doings In the outer hall, which

WOMAN HAS A NARROW ESCAPE
Knocked I'nder Feet of Horses nnd
Barely Saved When Driver
tops Team.
For a full second yesterday afternoon
It seemed to the horrified onlookers that
Mrs. M. A. FJdrldgo would be trampled to
certain death beneath the hoofs of two big
farm horses. But Mrs. Eldrldge escaped
with but slight bruises and a severe shock
to her nerves and It .was due to the pres
ence of mind of the driver; Andrew Bon
derson, that the woman was not "more se
riously hurt.
Mrs. Eldrldge, who lives at 2201 Farnam
street, was crossing Seventeenth street go
ing east near Ths Bee building at 4:30
o'clock when the accident occurred. She
walked with head bent down to shield her
from the wind which was blowing strongly
at the time. Bonderson was driving two
horses attached to a high Drake which was
occupied by his daughter, Mrs. C. A. Lar
son, and family. Henderson's attention was
attracted by .the clang of a motorman's
bell and he did not seo ths woman as she
passed directly in front of his team. Mrs.
Eldrldge was knocked beneath the horses'
feet and lay prone, on the pavement. Bon
derson reined his horses to a dead stop
while a crowd of willing hands unharnessed
them. The injured woman was carried into
the ufflce of the Peters Investment company
and Dr. Alfred Mattson was summoned.
He pronounced her injuries not serious so
far as he could ascertain. Mrs. Eldrldge
was removed to her home- In a carriage.'
Bonderson lives at Emerson, Neb., and.
Is visiting with the Lurson family seven
miles west of Omaha.
CROW IS QUICKJDN THE DRAW
Foils' a Pair of Holdup mi Bonesteel
and Tells Aboot It at
Home.X
Officer Crow returned yesterday from a
trip to the Bonesteel reservation, and ever
since has worn a slight smile which now
and again breaks Into a hoarse chuckle.
When pressed by his comrades to explain
for this strange behavior he said that two
men had attempted to hold up him and
O direr O'Neill of Bonesteel.
The two were returning to the depot
night before lust and while crossing a va
cant lot were commanded to halt by two
men. They halted and in a surprising
short time had pulled their guns on the
men. .
"You git," shouted O'Neill, "or your
friends will locate you fur a mineral
claim."
The highwaymen, taken by surprise at
the prompt action of the officers, halted in
confusion, but moved off at a rut) as Crow's
gun rose to the level of their heads. Crow
says that one of ths men be knows as
the "Chicago Kid," whom he arrested not
long ago as a suspicious character. The
officers at the police station think that
O'Neill hsd purposely taken Crow through
this vacant lot knowing thut they were
almost sure to meet holdup men there.
"It may have been a Joko," said Crow,
"but the other fellows will have to shoot
a darn side quicker If they expect money
from me. It is lucky for them thut I was
on my vacation and wanting a rest."

ANTS HAVE GOOD APPETITES
Guatemala Insects Are Destroying Cotton
Enemies in Texas.
LACE OF NAVAL PRACTICE CHANGED
Kyle of Alabama Takes Oath of
Office as Judge of Canal Zona
and Will Ball Next
Week.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-0. F. Cook,
discoverer of the. Guatemala boll weevil
eating ants, has wired the Department of
Agriculture from Texas that the new ants
are destroying cotton boll worms and are
attacking ' similar injurious Insects with
even greater avidity than they do the boll
weevil. The ants do not injure at all the
larvae of the- lady bird, which Is a bene
ficial insect. Mr. Cook reports that ths
agricultural value now depends chiefly on
acclimatisation and rapidity of propagation.
Change Place of Practice.
Orders have been issued for the Aslstlo
fleet to conduct its target practice in Sep
tember in Manila bay, Instead of Che Foo,
as hitherto has been the custom. This
change is in pursuance of the policy of
this government not to permit the battle
ship squadron- to go nearer the sone of
operations lu the far eastern war than
Shanghai. Manila bay is admirably
adapted to target practice, being about
sixty by thirty miles in area.
Takes Onth of Office. '
Osceolo Kyle of Alabama today took the
oath of office as Judge In the canal sone
in Panama and will sail from New York
next week. There will be five Judicial dis
tricts with a Judge in each, but Judge
Kyle will serve alone for a time. A prose
cuting attorney for the canal sone will be
announced shortly.
LOBECK AND WTHNELL BALK
Majority Members of Public Works
Board Ignore Specifications
of This Year.
No action was taken by the Board of
Publio Works yesterday afternoon toward
complying with Instructions from the coun
cil to advertise for bids for the paving of
South Thirty-second avenue from a point
M feet south of Woolworth avenue to
Llncon avenue, under the 1902 specifica
tions. "I hold that 1904 specifications having
been adopted and approved, there are no
19i2 specifications," said Building Inspector
Wlthnell.
"We don't recognlxe any 19(6 specifica
tions," declared Comptroller Lobeck. "We
have no specifications at all If the 1904
specifications are knocked out. However,
It is now up to the mayor to decide this
point."
City Engineer Rusewator held a different
opinion, but ns he constituted a minority
no action on the resolution from the coun
cil was tken.
Chairman Hiewater oomplalned that

PREDICTS BANNER OAT CROP i
Postofflce Inspector Swift Makes Olow- '
lag? Report from Knox, Boyd
and Holt Counties. r
Postofflce Inspector A. O. Swift has Just
returned from sn extended trip through -Knox.
Boyd aa Holt counties and brings x
In an encouraging report of crop conditions
In those sections.
"I have never seen a finer outlook for
corn and oats," he said. "The coin is of .j
a uniform height of about six feet and
has a deep, green, healthful and vigorous, r
look in all of these counties. I rode In a .i
buggy over much of the country, and the .
same encouraging outlook prevails every- j
where In those counties. I do not remem-
ber of seeing a sickly or thin piece of corn.
In Boyd county I saw some oat fields where
the stalk of the oats Is four and five feet , t
tall, with the oat heads over a foot tall, ,
and it all had a uniform look, and If it es-
capes heavy and beating rains and wind
some of those fields will go eighty bushels
to the acre. In tact the country looks ,
beautiful through those counties. They'
have had Just enough rains, and if all
things continue fsvorable those three coun- ,
tics will raise one of the biggest corn , ,
crops they have ever known." .
