known In the state axe to be asked to step
down and out and In the sober moments
Intervening between now and the time of
the meeting of the two committee, other
and better known men are to be prevailed
'upon to take the places. It la not un
likely that every man named by the demo
cratic staXe convention will decline to
mjike the race and other men be substi
tuted. A number of leaders of the party have
already discussed thin proposition and they
had Information to the effect that acme of
the nominees at least would not be ad
verse to retting out of the way. The two
committees will get together In Lincoln
August 1 and at that time It la believed
new candidates -will have been decided
upon who will go into the fighting.
This Information was given out this
morning by one who, la on the Inside, and
according to his notion It could ba relied
upon. While he had nothing to ear against
any of the nominees, be did not believe
that anyone with the exception of Berge
and Canaday were well enough known
to add' much weight to the ticket
Besides that, he said a number of demo
crate were full of remorse for the wJy
the convention acted upon the nomination
of Berge. "Berge Is too good a man." he
Bald, "to be handicapped In the manner he
waa by our convention and If It la pos
sible the rest of the ticket will be changed.
eraor, la a nice young, fellow,- but ss -he
has good chanced of being elected repre
sentative In his county, we believe he will
not object to withdrawing. The committee
can easily get someone better known to
take the place."
The firet duty Mr. Berge will undertake
will be to restore confidence In the ranks
of the two parties. He la aware that
' democrats are wrathy and that his nomin
ation has taken all the ginger out of
them, but he la by no meane discouraged.
From now until the first of the month
Mr. Berge will devote himself to restoring
confidence and at that time he will begin
v on an active campaign, which wllV atart
In Lincoln. He expects to stump the
atate, but he has as yet not fujly deter
mined on his line of action. Jt la under
stood, however, that his speeches will
bubble over with antl-corporatlon, antl
mllroad sentiment, together with a red
hot denunciation of the revenue law.
Hot So JReaslly Restored.
It Is not unlikely, however, that the
fusion nominee will ' have some trouble
"restoring" confidence If there Is nnythlng
In the story told on him thia morning,
Yesterday Mr. Berge waa in Omaha ami
it waa told here that he called on Mr.
Loomls, of the Burlington, and requested
transportation to use during the cam
paign. The accusation was denied by Mr. Beiu
"I did not go around the Burlington head
quarters," lie said. "I went to Omaha and
called on Mr. Metcalfe, and during the en
tire time I was In Omaha I did not talk
with a Burlington official. No doubt there
will be mnny stories started about me dur
ing the campaign, hut I do not Intend to
worry about them. I shall outline my plan
of work shortly and then I ahall state my
position on all questlona. Just now, how
ever, I do not care to dlsouss Just what
I shall speak about In my campaign."
IAst night an Informal reception was ten
dered Mr. Berge by the cltlxens of Lin
coln, regardless of politics, and several
hundred neighbors and friends called at
hla home on East E street.
Hits the Merchants.
A comparison of the taxes paid in Lan
caster county last year with what will
have to bo paid this year shows that the
wholesale and retail merchants are the
hardest hit. The farmers will pay an
Increase of about IS per cent and the rail
roads an Increase of about 8 per cent. Had
It not been that both the atate l.oard and
the county board asked for more taxes
from 'this county than last year, the
amount of taxea to be paid by the rail
roads would have been less than last year,
while other property would have been ma
terially increased. ,
On twenty-five pieces of farm property
the net Increase in taxes waa $143.40, or an
average of 15.71, or 18 per cent.
The following tables show the amount of
taxea to be paid by the railroads thla year,
compared with last year, and of the whole
sale and retail merchants:

Completely Destroyed by fire.
VALUED AT SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS

Ua-fctljr IaJared, Thrown
(rant Track on Ran.
mr of unknown origin practically de-
atroyed the plant of the Omaha Bedding
company, 1302 Nlcholaa street, yesterday
afternoon. The fire waa discovered at :
p. m. on the second floor, about three win
dows from the nortfi end. Minor R. Hunt
ington, president Of the Omaha Bedding
company, estimates his stoch. and fixtures
at $7,000, with lnaurance at R800. The
building, valued at 2.00. is owned by Mr.
Toung of Monmouth, 111. John T. Dillon,
820 New York Life bulldlna. is agent for
the bulldlnit. The entire plant la almost, a
total loss. There may be some salvage,
but it will be Inconsequential, If any.
While responding to the alarm Lieutenant
John Erlcson of truck No. 1 waa thrown
from the apparatus at Fourteenth ana
Chicago streets and painfully, though not
seriously, injured. Aa the long vehicle waa
turning the corner It struck a atreet rail
way pole and knocked Erlcson and Truck
man Chester A. Blake from the truck.
Blake escaped with a Blight bruise and
waa able to be on duty at the fire. Erlc
son waa taken to the police station and at
tended by Dra. Ralph and Arnold and Po
lice Surgeon Leery. Erlcson sustained a
bruise on the left ear, a hole in his head
near the left ear and a bruise on the head
that gave evidence of a fracture, although
from a later examination it waa not
thought a fracture waa sustained. He was
removed from the police station to the
Clarkson, hospital, where he la now being
attended. The pole waa struck with auch
force aa to snap it from Its anchorage.'
Statement ot the Owner.
When seen at the fire Mr. Huntington,
president of tha bedding company, aald;
"We closed today at 11 o'clock and the
only motive power we have la an electrlo
motor. The building was vacated at noon
and the fire started at 2:45 p. m. Wa had
a force of eight mattress makers, four saw
ing glrla, one driver and three in the of
fice and have been doing a nice business.
We had Just started on a government con
tract calling for l.WO beda. We have been
in business here for nine years."
Tha building occupied by the Omsha
Bedding company was of frame construc
tion, 40x100 feet, and three stories in
height, It waa stocked with Just such
material aa would facilitate the progress
of a fire, and although the fire department
responded with all possible haste, the fire
men. battled against odds. The heat was
intense and at times it required great effort
on the part of the fire fighters to face the
blase.
A little incident occurred at the fire that
la worthy of mention. Although in tears
over the loss of his business, Mr. Hunting
ton waa solicitous as to the safety of the
four sewing machines owned by the girls
employed by him. As he explained, the
machines were tha personal property of the
girls- and they had no Insurance on them.
Aa It happened, they were In the south
end of the building and were saved, al
though partially damaged.
A small house in the rear of the bedding
factory, numbered 1412 North Thirteenth
atreet, was threatened for a while, but waa
saved, with but slight loss.
