?. W. Blackburn falld night to
thrum bla chosen candidate for congress,
V. F. Ourley, fn th Fontunall club at
ha preferred candidate. Blackburn had
framed a resolution endorsing Outlay and
Burbank and hod thla resolution Intro
duced at an executive mtlng of tht
rontantlla club, but thsfs ae far af It
got on tn roud to success. Th . resolu
tion waa turned down with thud which
la aald to have fallen With sickening eft Oct
pin tha cara of Blackburn and Ourley.
"1 ft.t:wt tell you Just tht rote by which
tne resolution waa rejected." aald a num
ber of the Kontanelle club who helped kill
tha scheme, but It waa decisive enough to
remind Mr. Blackburn. Mr. Ourlsy and Mr.
Uurbnok-that there la a limit -to all thlnea
and they had better tlov, up some In their
rough-thud courri of railroading their piota
over the heads and protnta of the rest of
the republican party of tha Becond con
gressional ltrlot."
"It la nut th purpos or desire of the
Fontanello elub to endorse any particular
mon . for the congressional nomination,"
aald another member pf the organisation,
"idI I thhik there la no danger of Mr.
Blackburn nnd hla confedcrntea renewing
their echeme which wns ao emphatloolly
rejected Friday tiimnt. We do not regard
thla aa factional fight and certainly have

Good Men In Field,
There ar other good men In the field
for the nomination beside Mr. Ourley
of course Burbank waa atmply put up aa
strew man without any aerloua thought
Of nomlnatlon-and the membera of thla
club want to feel free u eupport which
ever o of theae eandldatea they prefer,
not belryj bound by the action of the
club taken under tha Influence of two or
three men. Wo should regard tha nomina
tion Of any of the avowed eandldatea a
n anti-victory, but we do not eare to
aubdlvlda the party Into any mora fao
tlona by' endorsing any one man to the
exclualon of all others."
Dlackburn. It la anld, wont to the meet
ing fully determined to fore thla resolu
tion through, and he and Ourley ore aald
to have regarded Ha. .endorsement aa a,
matter of little. If any, question; but they
came away from the meeting, according
to the statement of 'several who were,
there, visibly Impressed with the foot that
ae" political dictators their potency had
dlmlninhcd to an alarming degree.
The Idea, aa explained, waa for the elub
to endorse Gurley and Burbank, the former
In reality and the latter merely ostensibly,
aa a mntx of abutting out John I Ken
nedy, John P. Brcen and W, Soott Tinker.
"It may develop before thla thing la over
that these other men have quite aa much

tribe, who waa very much disgusted, at the

THE WANDERING ALBATROSS
Ita Wonderful Fllaxnta Otcs Oaeaai
Deep avnd the Odd Dell fa .
About It.
Of all the strange creature seen by trar
elera not the leaet Interesting Is the wan
dering albatross. This great, feathered
wanderer, sometimes measuring aeventeen
feet from tip to tip of hla wlnga, will fol
low ft ship for days at a time, Bomo trav
elers and sailors declare that they hsve
seen a particular bird fly for weeks at a
time without ever being seen to alight upon
the waves.
It not merely follows the ahlp, but wheels
In great circles -around It and above it,
high In the- air, as if to show that It la not
tired. Sometlroos the bird will be seen to
hang In the nlr with" Its wings apparently
motionless, und the sailors say that then
It la asleep.
Not only in pleaaant weather will the
albatross follow a ahlp for days and weeks,
but through tha most terrlfle storms It will
continue Its untiring flight. In fact, to
And on albatross otherwise than on the
wing la like finding a weasel aaleep.
Once a year the female albitross flies
away a few thousand miles to the great,
lonely Island rock of Tristan d'Acunha,
which lift Us desolate head far In the
Bouth Atlantic, or to some equally remote
place, and there laya ono egg In the hol
low of a rock. ,
Tht cubatroa has always been a bird of
mystery, and In ancient times the people
believed thnt theae unwearying seablrda
were the Companion of tho Ortek war

changed Into birds at the doath pf their
Chief.
When America was discovered and ship
bognn to anil abroad to the Pacific ocean
to double the Cape of Oood Hope and to
explore the "seven seas" generally, the
old belief, about the albatross had been
forrotton by the sailors and explorers, but
In their long and lencsomp voyages over
waten which were cut by no keel but their
own, and upon whose vast exponas they

of tli albatroea following the ship day

RARE COINS ALL CORNERED
Its the Barirlar that Keeps Tnens
MotIok Story of an Old
Weaaan'e Ick.
The psselon for miking collections of
articles of vsrloua klnda, and particularly
stumps and coins, is like hope. It springs
eternal in the human breast.
"You would be surprised," said a profes
sional collector of coins and stamp, "to
know how many utterly worthless speci
mens are brought to mo by persons who
prrhaps have treasured them for long and
then, needing money, have come to me,
expoctlng to b handsomely paid for an
article that really has no commercial value
whatever, fiometlmes, Indeed, I have paid
good prices for worthless article of no use
to me at all, to save their owners from the
disappointment which I could plainly see
a refusal would cause them.
"Why, I handle on the average pretty
nearly 100 specimens a day, both stamps
and coins, brought in here by people who
expect them to be literally worth their
weight In gold. Tet. In spite of the great
number of specimens coming Into my hands
In thla way every year. It's enly about once
In three years that I find anything of real
yalue.
"You aee, It's Just this way. Hardly any
good rare coins or stamps are circulating
at large. Almost everything has been
picked up by ccllectora; and If you follow
up nny rare Issue, you can place almost
every one either find the owner et account
for the Issue.
"And you will be surprised, perhaps,
when I toll you that we are Indebted to
burglars for tnnnt ot what we do find. Ono
of tht light fingered gentry lifts some rare
old coins; he has no sentimental fondness
for them baaed on age and possible asso
ciations, and he la unable to make any use
of thorn. Bo he rida himself of thf worth
less and possibly dangerous or Incriminat
ing articles, and In that way they drift Into
our hands.
"Not long ago a child went Into a candy
shop with a nickel she had found, The
old woman who kept the shop took the
nickel without noticing Its queer appear
ance, but later she saw thnt It waa not as
other colna are, and she brought It to me,
"I found It to be a nickel of 1854$, of
which only a few were Issued, as an ex
perimental form. I gave the old woman
$5 for her1 five-cent piece, and she went
away rejoicing.
"It's the burglars that keep the. rare
coins In circulation." New York Bun.
SOLDIERS IN PITCHED FIGHT
One Corporal ta Killed and Three
Private Are Injvre.d Darin
the Encounter,
ATHENS, O., Aug. ta Regular army
soldiers, said to bo members of a cavalry
troop connected with the First brigade, at
Camp Armltago, near thla city, tonight at
tacked members of a provost guard of
patrols made up of membera of Company
D, Fifth Ohio National Guard, Cleveland,
and one man waa killed and three wounded,
tho latter all being national guardsmen.
The regulars escaped without any casual
ties as far as la known.
The guardsman who wae killed was Cor
poral Charles Clark. The wounded are:
W. O. OhI. who was struck on the head
by a rifle, and Albert Heald, private, who
was shot In the left leg. William Uless
Ing was Injured In tho left hip.
The regulars, who used platols, scattered
for camp and none of them has been cap
tured. Fifteen minutes after the shooting
General Dick, In command of the national
guardsmen gnd the regular army officers,
had declared the town under martial law,
and hundreds of regulars were rushed Into
the city end are now patrolling the streets
to prevent further trouble.
Nearly all of the provost guards sent to
town to gather In soldiers who have over
stayed their leaves, have been national
guardsmen, and the regulars thought the
provosts were discriminating against the
regulars In favor of the guardsmen, arrest
ing the former and allowing the latter to
go free, when the miscreants were In such
numbers that a chance arose of errestlng
either one or the other.
DEPUTIES SELL THEIR WAGES.
Bpeclele Dispose ot Claims on County
to Brokers.
A number of special deputy sheriffs en
gaged to act during the strike have de
veloped Into financiers of the modern
school since becoming officers of the law.
Most of them ere hard pressed for cash,
and In order to get It they have resorted
to selling their claims against the county
for pay. So easy did some of them find
this that they went Into the business of
disposing of (heir accounts. A few are
snld to have secured money right and left
through this source end aa a result many
duplicate lk'ns are boing filed with the
county clerk.
Most of those . who have been buncoed
in this manner were Inexperienced In auch
transactions and the fact that they have
been bitten has not yet been disclosed to
che county clork.
Yesterday assignments of claims for
wagea from about ISO special deputies were
Olcd. They were mostly recorded by pro
fessional scalpers who understand their
business.
All transferred claims will be paid In ac
cordance with the time of filing, where
more than one claimant appeara. Juut
how many people have been caught will
not become known until the county com
missioners pass on the salary list, which
will not be don until the services of the
deputlee are dispensed with.

LEADERS MEET AND PLAN CAMPAIGN
f'eatar t Reports Is Disaffection of
Pops nnd Drmoorata, Farmer
J In Ids; Hanks of Kssie-
relt.
The feature of too meeting of the repub
lican state comm.ttee and candidates at
the Murray yesterday was the ununimity
of reports Iroiu populist counties to th
effect that members of that party were
dctertlng In carload lots and announcing
the Intention to vote for Koosevelt anu
Fairbanks. One committeeman went so
far aa to say that if all the republican
In his county remained at home the pop
ulists would coat enough ballote for th
republican ticket to give It a majority.
Widespread dissatisfaction among botto
democrats nnd popullets with the action of
ths national a..d state cnnventior.e and W.
J. Bryan's qualified attitude toward Far
ker were repor.ed. That the outlook for
republican succs is bright every com
mitteeman positively declared.
The meeting was called at 10 o'clock and
for thrte hours reports were heard and
suggestions made for the campaign work.
Only twelve committeemen and two candl-
' dates were absent. Congressman Burkett
of Lincoln, who waa endorsed by the state
convention for senator, was present and
addremod the meeting briefly, saying the
Outlook was altogether encouraging.
This afternoon th executive committee,
National Committeeman C. H. Morrill end
R. B. Bchneldcr, member of the national
executive committee are conferring re
garding deflnlto plana for the campaign.
Candidates at the Meet Ins.
The candidates present were Oovernor
Mickey, A. L. Oalushn, for secretary of
state; Norrls Brown, for attorney general;
E. A. Brarles, for state auditor; J. C. Mc
Btien, for superintendent of Instruction
and II. M. Eaton, for commlAPloner of
public lands . and buildings. Lieutenant
Oovernor McOllton and Treasurer Morten-
sen were absent.
"I am not worrying In the least about
this campaign," said Oovernor Mickey. "I
am willing to stand on my record as a
business administration. No doubt exists
In my mind that Roosevelt will carry the
state by more than 40,000 majority.
"Doubtless there Is some animosity felt
towards me by some republicans, but you
will find these principally among disap
pointed office seekers. Lincoln had tha
earns trouble more applicants than he had
.places to fill.
"The plank In the democratic platform
accusing me of disloyalty to the memory
of Lincoln was a senseless thing and sure
to react because It has not a vestige of
truth In it."
"I am satisfied that republican auccess
will be achieved in Nebraska this year
by large majorities," said Congressman
BuTket,
CHANGED HABITS OF SALMON
lSffect of Artificial Barriers on the
Great Food Product of the
' Columbia IHver.
The large schools of salmon which have
appeared In the Columbia at irregular In
tervals within the lust fortnight offer an
Interesting study of the workings of na
ture. They -also present to the men In
terested In the perpetuation of the salmon
Industry some perplexing problems to
the best methods to be followed In meet
ing the changed conditions which have
been brought about, presumably, by arti
ficial propagation. Tho fish now appearing
In such largs numbers are. In appearance
and state of maturity, almost Identical
with the salmon which a few years ago
entered the river enrly In July. This "July
run' from the earliest days of tha Industry
was regarded as the mainstay ot the buil-
t C3S, both for tho fishermen and the can
ners, the straggling runs which appeared
earlier affording but slight profit to any
of the parties concerned. '
It Is for this reaaon that the Increasing
uteness of this run has been the subject
of muoh concern among the fishermen and
canners, and It has been proposed to
change the law so as to prolong the open
season and Increase the catch of fish. A
strong arqrument against extending the
season beyond August 10 has been that
the quality of the nun entering the river
after that datf had deteriorated to auch ao
extent that the reputation of the Columbia
river salmon would suffer by packing such
fish. It Is now reported, however, that
thene August fish that are now being taken
In such large numbers near the mouth of
the river are firm In flesh and of good
color, 'and that the spawn Is no nearer ma
turity than that of the fish taken In June
and July years ago, before artificial propa
gation saved the industry from extinction.
There are many interesting; theories as to
why artificial propagation should cause
such a radical change In the habita of the
fish. One of these theories, which la ad
vanced by B. A. Boaborg, the veteran Con
ner, Is that the fierce struggles of the par
ent fish when she is penned In at the
hatchery retard the work of nature and
transmit to her young certain Instincts nnd
traits which, act for tha suppression of
natural development and prolong the period
required for the spawn to reach maturity.
Instinct causes tho aalmon to start for
her spawning grounds at the headwaters
of a stream in time to reach there beforo
the period of maturity In tho spawn.
Previous to the establishment of the hatch
eries, care-free and untrammcled by any
unnatural obstacles, she followed the dic
tates of nature, and the small proportion
of young salmon which worked back to
sea returned and fulfilled their destiny by
the same precise natural lawa. Under arti
ficial propagation tho voyage of the fe
male salmon to the headwaters of a stream
Is Interrupted by the barriers at the hatch
try. Nature discloses to her no spawning
ground In theae enclosures, and In trrror
she worries herself Into exhaustion In
frantic endeavors to pass the barriers, and
reach the spot where nature had Intended
she should deposit her eggs spawn. In
warm-blooded creatures this unnatural
worry and excitement might hasten mat
ter of this nature, but with the salmon
th dmlre to suppress the workings of na
ture until she can reach the spot to which
that strange prompting wo call Instinct
leads her undoubtedly has a retarding ef
fect, which Is perhaps Intensified aa It Is
transmitted to the young salmon.
Whether or not this be the true reason
for the changing habits of the salmon, the
fact that these habits Iwgan changing al
most simultaneously with the successful
working of the hntgheriea Imparts to Mr.
Beaborg's theory some plausibility. It I
nothing new, however, for canners to In
vent and exploit new and engaging theories
concerning the habits of the salmon, espe
cln'lyv such theories as point to the de
sirability of prolonging seasons and to the
restriction of all other forms of fishing
but the theorlser'e own. If these August
fish ar of such fine o,inmy there Is hope
that out cf so msny of them some may
reach the headwaters tor natural propaga
tion. Changes In the season, however,
should be derided on only after their wis
dura has been demonstrated beyond a
doubt. The Columbia river would have
been flshxd dry of aalmon long age If the
seasons had been lengthened at every re
quest er new theory ot caonere or flsber-

MAVERICKS.
Two young mon of Omaha declare they
have all the dandruff nostrums In the
country put out of business by a remedy
ae simple that It Is amusing. These young
men are A. Elmer Turner, oflle ecretaiy
of the Y'oung Men a Chrletlun aesoclatlon,
and Oeorg N. Hoblnson, clerk In the audit
or office at th B. A M., also a member of
the Toung Men's Christian aociatlon.
Their remedy, which has been effective at
least on the parts to which It has been
applied, is shaving the head.
A little boulevard beginning at the fore
head is run back to the rear end of the
pate at a width sufficient to Just leave
side curtains hanging down above the
ears. This serves more than one pur
pose. 'Besides curing the dandruff In those
regions laid bare. It exhibits the bump
of veneration, pl..y, and a few other good
ones, and last and equally aa Important
as the first. It gives a decidedly classical
aspect to the patient.
But like all good thing, this novel cure
all hns It drawbacKs. One of them Is thst
th hBlr won't stay cut, and the young men
are subjected to the annoying ordenl of
having their pates periodically peeled. Ilka
any other Celestial's. Then, another bad
feature Is that It makes a mighty good
roosting place for llee.t But rhe young men
took cognizance of nal these things before
hand and are bearing their self-inflicted
torture with commendable fortitude.
But speaking of late fashions In hair
cuts, here la what a very prominent ton
aorlal artist says:
"Do you remember the style of the hair
cut that prevailed In 1873 and prior thereto?
Not Well, It comprlaed the wearing of
long hair, parted In the center not only on
top of the head, but down the back aa well.
Then the hair wns thrown forward on
each side, producing something of a horse
shoe effect which was heightened by cut
ting the short hair In front of the eara to
curl upward and .forward. That style Is
coming back again according to the men
who set the fashions In haircuttlng. , It
will be only a short time before It Is In
vogue In1 Omoha, and silly aa It may bo,
you will see the idea carried out exten
sively." Tho business of the local courts will be
greatly decreased It one Omaha lawyer has
his way. He proposes to settle disputes by
arbitration without litigation and Inci
dentally nomlntee himself aa the arbitra
tor. Recently he Issued a circular letter
bewailing the fact that so many decisions
of courts and Jurlea are unsatisfactory.
"The sign of the times." h states, "point
strongly to th settlement of dispute by
agreement or arbitration. My ambition Is
to build up a clientage founded upon the
principle' of adjusting all klnda of differ
ences harmoniously and In accord with Jus
tice, without court proceedings."
The attorney speaks of marvelous dem
onstrations ha has seen along theae lines
and rays he is encouraged to do a very re
markable thing, viz., "advise clients In od
vancc. If possible, to avoid disagreement."
He admits that it will be necessary for him
to know what Is legal, equitable and Just,
but has confidence that ho will know, oil
right
A great majority of the cases brought
Into court are unneceeaary according to the
sage deductions of the attorney, who "does
not expect to be successful In every case
and does not antagonize the honorable
methods of his profession." Btlll he makan
a strong plea for buflness and asks a good
word for himself and his scheme it the
rccelplent of the circular does not happen
to have a quarrel on. Also, he has changed
hU office and baa a telephone number,
htch Is given.
The man who la trying to save people
from the courts has practiced at the Doug
las county bar for many year and was
once a Judge, He la well known.
It wae raining hard the other day and
the conductor of a Farnam street car be
came tired of having thi water from the
eaves trickle down the vertical back of his
cap onto his neck. The car was the sum
mer kind that forced him to expose him
self to the weather when he collected fares.
So he put away the cap and placed an old
slouch hat on his head. From that mo.,
ment there was confusion among the
passengers who had not witnessed the sub
stitution. Enveloped In his long rubber coat
no part of hla uniform was visible snd the
conductor could not be distinguished from
the other men on the rear platform. At
every corner persons who wanted to get
off strained their eyes vainly for the con
ductor. Not finding him they became
alarmed and asked each other , where ' ha
waa. Some even made motion toward
the sacred bell cord, which Is not to be
touched by profane hands If the conductor
can help It, but were astonished to find the
car stopping at their corners. The panio
continued until the trip was ended and the
passengers all out.
"I knew It," said the conductor. "It
wasn't the fair thing to do, but then I
had to kep the water out of my back
some way."
INDIANS . NOT DYING OFF
Aborigine afore Nomerons Tban Kver
Before Since America's
Settlement.
Recently Charles M. Harvey prepared
from the records of the government some
Interesting facts with respect to tho Irre
pressible conflict between tho whit and
the red men. He notes the error of early
hlstorlnns who estimated the number of
Indians In this country at from 1,000,000 to
10,000,000. It has been the theme of many
a sentimentalist the supposed slaughter
and extermination of a great Indian popu.
latlon. Mr. Harvey finds that in the In
dian) troubles from first to last fifteen
white persons perished to each Indian
slain. He shows from the best Informa
tion obtainable by the government that the
Indian population at the time of the dis
covery by Columbus could not hove been
more than 800,000.
"The curly explorers, missionaries and
traders," he says, "Journeyed by way of
the seacoaat, the rivers and the lukes, along
whlch the Indiana were most numerous.
In traveling through tho wllderneas ttfo
whites attracted Induvi from miles around
through curiosity. The whites thought
the Indians were equally numerous every
where, but vast stretches of forest end
prairie were absolutely untenanted, except
for short times each year when vlalted
by hunting parties. War and hunting often
took the same bands of Indians to several
points in the course of a year, the white
thinking they were different bands. Msny
tribes were known by different names to
the Bpantards, the French and the Eng
lish, and among some .tribes the names
varied at different places and times. Thrso
causes accounted for the exaggerated no
tion." The last census showed an Indian popu
lation of 270,000 outside of those In Aluska.
In tw years, then, the white rim it has r.
ducej the Indian population from l"Q.0U0 to
?70,0u0. or In the full number of WC.OM souls.
But this was not done directly by the white
man. Much of It wns due to the sick
nesses aud vices which came with tho white
man'a civilisation. A atill larger propor
tion was dua to th wars carried on be
tween the tribes, these bvlng muds more
