"Nebraska needs that kind of a law mora
thnn nny other state In the onion." .
"What will you say of the governorship
who Is your personal choice for" the nom
ination?" was asked Mr. Metcalfe.
"I have no candidate for governor. Every
man who so far has been mentioned Is my
personal friend and I do hot care to par
ticipate la that contest. I am very anxious,
however, for fusion."
Mr. 'Metcalfe positively declined to be led
.into expressing a preference for any one
I f the several candidates or men men-
; Mimed. In connection with the place, saying.
le preferred to let the convention settle
thai matter, which he believed It would
wlflcly do. '
Former Governor lioyd addresses a cir
cular letter to delegates' to the state con--vention
asking for support for the guberna
torial nomination. Incidentally he says:
Mr. Metcalfe of the World-Herald assures
me ot his earnest support and says I can
carry Douglas county by 6,000 majority.
Other friends claim I can carry the county
by a much larger majority, some placing
tie majority as high as 10,000.
Regarding this Mr. Metcalfe says:
"I am not booming Governor Boyd or
any other candidate. The simple fact Is
that when Governor Boyd told me he fa
vored fusion and intended to support the
fusion state ticket I said I was willing that
xny vote in the Douglas delegation should
be cast for him. I take It for granted
hat - tha Douglas county delegation will
vote for several of tha candidates already
mentioned and that It will not be tied to
anry one" candidate."
The delegation from Douglas .county 'to
the populist state convention is pretty well
split up on the question Of fusion. A few
of the delegates, including J. J. Points, de
clare they will n6t favor fusion under any
circumstances, but the majority are willing
to make some kind of an alliance with the
democrats. There Is dimension among the
majority, however, as to method of effect
ing fusion, some being in favor of. tha
popuHsts going ahead and nominating
whatever portion of the state ticket they
think; they are entitled to and putting It
up tothe democrats to accept or reject
such nominations,' and others being In
favor of having the usual conference com
mittees to agree upon the distribution -of
places on the ticket before nominations aro
made by cither party.
There la a strong sentiment among the
Douglas county populists for Holeomb for
governor, many of the tic legates being will
ing to give the democrats all the balance
of the ticket on condition that Judge Hoi
tomb be placed at the top. The sentiment
against Boyd Is equally as strong as that
in favor of Hoi comb. The present judge
of tha supreme court Is not an active can
didate for the gubernatorial "nomination,
but It Is understood that he would be very
willing to accept. The only populist who
Is known by the Douglas county delegation
as being anxious for a place on the state
ticket Is John N, Lyman of Hastings, who
would like to m)lke the run for state treas
urer. Despite talk to that effect former Judge
Charles T. Dickinson says he will not be a
candidate before th republican primaries
for the nomination for Judge of the dis
trict court. "I have Just got started In
jprlvate practice agRln, and I will not leave
It unless I get an appointment from the
president as Judge of the supreme court of
th Philippines." says Mi. Dickinson.
The announcement that A. W. JefTerls
may enter-the contest for the republican
conjiri'Mli'iiti! nomination has not been re
ceived with enthusiasm by the Blackburn
Ourloy machine. These antl-machln ma
chinists Insist that they have been boosting
JefTerls "for office long enough and ha ought
not aril 'for their ' support ngitln this fall.
The antis put it In this way: "Six years

LOVING COWJWAKES TROUBLE
Keeps Neighbor Awake by Aaxlety
for Calf, Ceases Fight as4
Law Bolt.
Th bellowlngs of a cow that had been
deprived of her first born on th evening
of July 26, was th basis of an action
brought In police court by Mrs. Fannie
Splvek against her neighbors, Paul and
Louis Stein. The defendants were dis
charged by Police Judge Berka. The
fiplveks live at 2507 South Thirteenth street,
while the Steins reside one door south.
For. some time Mrs, Splvek has owned a
cow and so far as report goes It la a good
specimen of th bovine family. Never
until the occasion In question has it been
th cause of any unpleasantness between
Its owner and the neighbors. About a
month ago a little event occurred that
brought Joy Into the life of the cow and
also the Splveka. This being her first as
sumption of. th duties of motherhood tha
cow was particularly fussy and watched
over her charge with anxloua care. On tha
evening of July 28 Mrs. Splvek separated
tha cow and calf, placing the calf In a
small shed some distance from the mother.
Thla Waa early In the evening. It waa a
warm moonlight evening and the neighbors
generally were trying to find rest after the
day's toll by reclining In easy . chairs and
hammocks, with the soft pale moonbeams
gently kissing the earth and the loud rasp
ing bellowlngs of the aggrieved cow pierc
ing the atmosphere. Some of tha neighbors
went Into their homes and closed the shut
ters; others started the phonograph, some
bore up with fortitude, while Paul and
Louis Stein took the dilemma by th horns
and went over to the Splvek. home and
asked that the cow and calf be restored
to each other, as the neighborhood wanted
to go to sleep. The allegation is that Mr.
and Mrs. Splvek each grabbed a chair and
Started for the Steins, who in turn started
for Patrolman Davis, f
Patrolman Davis appeared on the scene,
saw the neighborhood tossing on sleep
less oouches and then saw th bereaved
cow pouring out th anguish that was
within her through tha cracks of the barn
and immediately ordered that the calf be
returned to its sorrowing mother. It waa
a splendid, stroke,, of ., diplomacy .' on the.
part of the policeman. It placated . the
neighborhood and th cow. If not alto
gether the Splveka. The next morning,
the; Splvek filed a complaint of disturb
ing the peace against the Steins In police
court and the hearing of th case has
Just come up.

SAYS STEVENS HEADED Off PROPOSITION

1st Case Praaehlse Is Deale4 te
- Cosapaay How Asklag a
Charter.
The fight for an Independent telephone
franchise before the council la by no
rneana at a standstill. One of the proposed
companies which was generating steam
when the Victor Stevens application was
sprung by Lawyer T. W. Blackburn, hag
not given up the fight, and is arranging
to have an ordinance introduced granting
a concession similar te the on ssked for.
It has developed that the 6tevena peo
ple do not propose to Install an automatic
exchange; that Is, on that enables the
subscriber to make his own connection
and .abolishing girls in the central office.
No Improvement or new method are
promised over the 'phbnes In use.
A company to be composed of A. B.
Hunt. E. E. Bruce, F. P. Kirkendall, C. I
Casey and others whose names are with
held had' prepared an ordinance and ware
Just about to have It placed before the
council when Blackburn came In with hla
proposition. The Stevens . scheme looked
so much better on paper than that pro
posed by Hunt and his associates, that It
rather took th wind out of the latter
sails. They have not given up hope, how
ever, and are busy stirring up things to
wards their interests.
Heat His Proposition. .
"I was convinced," said Mr. Hunt, "that
the Stevens people could not bo offering
an automatic exchange at the rates named
In their application for a franchise. No
company scan do it. W figured down Just
as low as possible on an automatic ex
change, and our proposed rates ar con
siderably higher than those proposed by
the Stevens company. The automatic In
struments cannot possibly be, obtained for
less than tOT.tO, and I felt sure that this
concern could not be offering any such
modern device.
"Neither had w figured on offering so
large a royalty to the city, although we
had agreed to make a proposition that
looked to us exceedingly favorable to tha
city. '
- "While I am not sure, I am Inclined to
think that the Stevens schame wa brought
In to head off our venture. 'I do not any
that Mr. Stevens Is not In earnest. If he
will give a bond of good faith at the very
outset, part cash, as we are willing to do,
then I would soy, let him have the fran
chise. But this bond should be put up
and kept there until the city Is satisfied
that the company seeking th franchise
means business. '
"If the Stevens achemo Is rejected by the
council it would be easy for the Nebraska
Telephone company to argue against our
franchise by pointing out that better rates
were offered and refused.
"Wa have not given up the fight and will
be heard from before long." .
Has from Mlehlgsa.
C. L. Casey, mentioned as an Inspirator
of the Hunt company, is said to be a
Michigan man of wealth and experlonce in
telephone construction: He and others are
now working on the Omaha, proposition
and developments ar expected shortly.
Comptroller Lobeck is out for the muni
cipalization of the present telephone sys
tem. "The city should buy it, ' ' he ' de
clares, "In the same way that It 1 buying
the waiter works.. Then we should rent It
to independent telephone people under cer
tain regulations as to rates, etc., and make
the system yield revenue to the city."

TWO VOTING MACHINES NOW
Another Proposition Will Be Sub
mitted to City Council at
Same Price.
That th Universal Voting Machine com
pany la not going to have things all Its
own wny In the effort to have th devloe
adopted for tin In Omf.hn. nnd Douglns
county was shown Monday, when 8.
C. Hamilton, representing the ITnted
States Standard machines, took one of
them to ths city hall and had It set up
for exhibition In the city clerk's office. He
will present a proposition to the council,
naming $000 a machine, or the same price
as quoted by E. C. Burrows ot the Uni
versal company.
"The most serious difficulty In the Ne
braska laws to the use of this machine,"
said Mr. Burrows, "is the fact that the
number of voters In each district is lim
ited to 800, whereaa the machine we quote
at $000 can accommodate 800 voters easily.
Another amendment to the laws that would
be necessary would be to authorise pro
cedure In the case of disabled voters. So
far as the Interpretation of the word
"ballot" Is concerned. Courts have held
i that It means a secret vote."

NO UORE JOKES FOR THEM
Certain Prominent Cltiieni of Carroll, Ia.,
Caught b j Unole Sam. 1
fcAISE COPPERS TO TEN-CENT PIECES
Bat After Some DIBIeelty In Provlns;
It Was All Flay They Bwear
OS on Jokes For
ever. A party of prominent cltlsens' of Carroll,
la., whose names are withheld by request
of federal officers, has come to the un
alterable conclusion that Uncle Sam floes
not know how to enjoy a practical Joke,
and furthermore that It will not do to try
to pass plated pennies even for fun.
Several weeks ago one of the party
found A. hntflA Onntnlntnir ' rnma nlAttn.
fluid and Incidentally made a bet with a
few friends that he could plate a copper
cent and pass It as a dime. The bet almnl
was made to show how easily people
cobld be taken In by counterfeits. The
test was to be mado at the office of one of
th parties, and the pennies, half a doxen
of them, were given a plating of the com.
pound and were sent out on their deceptive
mission. A record was to be kept of where
euch penny went that they might subse
quently be recovered and made good. The
Jokers enjoyed a good feast of candy and
peanuts from the proceeds of the plated
coins, but when one was tried on a bank
the cashier protested. And, what waa
worse, he kept the coin and also a record
from whom he received It. The other Ave
coins were recovered shortly afterward
and the Joke explained.
I'nele Sam Hard to Convince.
However, some fellow who had a grudge
against on of the party of Jokera heard
of the Joke and notified the United State
secret service authorities in Omaha and an
officer went over to Iowa to look into the
matter.
The Jokers have been sweating blood In
the meanwhile and have worn out one ex
pert affidavit man In trying to convince
Uncle Sam that the whole thing was Sim
ply a quiet little Joke and that neither of
the Jokers would ever try to play any sort
of a practical Joke again as long as they
live.
No arrests have been made yet and pos
sibly none will be made, but the assurance
comes from that town that "bogus coin'
Is forever barred from that bailiwick.
