BURKITT'S MANAGERS DENY ONE STORY
State I nlreralty Shorn an Inrtrai ol
Almost n Hnndred la Renlatratlon
a Compared Mih Same
Time Last Year.
(From a Start Corre fpondrnt.)
LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. W. (Spei-lal.)-The
fuHlon county conference committers have
not yot perfected their deliberations and
arrangements for announcing their legis
lative ticket. It is protty well settled,
however, that tliey will present two demo
crats and one populist tj try conclusions
with the republican candidates, their Idea
being that thefle three may catch enough
votes from disaffected republicans to de
ftut .three of the republican candidates.
Members of the committee were not dis
posed today to make public the names
of the three cand.ates whom they are en
deavoring -to induce to run. Two of them,
however, have already been mentioned, bt
Ing John B. Miller and Frank Eager. Mr.
Miller Is Inclined to Insist that he be given
assurance thit he will not be elected be
fore he will consent to the use of his name.
The third Is a prominent business man
whose consent has not yet been secured,
and may not be, so thAt the committee
would not give his name to-the public. It
Is hinted that "C. II. Budge, a well known
furniture dealer, Is to be the third candi
date. Story a Fabrication.
The tale In an Omaha paper that the
managers of Congre.sman Burkett'a cam
paign are maintaining separata headquar
ters In Lincoln for the purpose of fur
thering the Interests of Mr. Burkett. and
that Its managers meanwhile are knifing
Governor Mickey, is pronounced a Billy fab
rication by the friends of the First district
congressman.
A visit to Congressman Rurkrtt's head
quarters in this city is sufficient to dis
prove the story! Instead of a doaen stenog
raphers there Is only one, who has been
regularly employed by Mr. Burkett. George
E. Tobey, his private secretary, and Rufus
Clark, who Is engaged in sending out Con
gressional Records, constitute the remain
der of the office force.
Mr. Munger Is In charge of Burkett head
quarters and the Burkett campaign. Mr.
Slzer ha not been at all active In the
campaign, and Mr. Blgnell has not been
around at all. The story- that Mr. Slzer
does not stay around the postofflce is abso
lutely untrue, as those who have hnd busi
ness with the postmaster are well aware
Oil Inspection I. aw Defective.
It Is discovered that there Is a seemingly
serious defect In the law governing the
testing of illuminating oils. Ex-Oil In
spector Hayes has been given credit for
securing the amendment of the law
whereby the test 'was raised from 100 to
112 degrees; It has Just come to light that
the amendment as mode was decidedly
lame. The measure adopted at the last
session. Introduced by P. H. Beghtol of
Lancaster county, simply provided that oil
that does not measure to the 112 test shall
be rejected by the oil Inspectors. Tt was
section 3 of the old law that provided the
degree of the test, and that is the section
that was amended. Section, which pro
vides the penalty for violations of the lew,
escaped the observation of the amendors
evidently, as It still provides a penalty only
for the sale of oils that do not test to 100
degrees.
The result Is, so It Is said, that dealers
may aU- with litimunhgi ell that teste MO
degrees, even after the oil Inspector, act
ing under section 8 of the law, has re
jected the same.
Gordon Files Appeal.
W. A. Oordon, recently fined by Judge
E. M. Bartlett for an assault in the court
room upon Trustee Horton of the Greater
America exposition, has filed his brief In
his proceeding In error before the supreme
court to have the fine of $100 set aside.
Preparing? Assessors' Books.
Member of the State Board of Equaliza
tion have prepared plans and lodged a
requisition with the State Printing board
for the annual supply pf assessors' books
under the law as it now exists. Something
like 2,200 books are needed. Members of
the board declare that their action In
lodging the requisition at this time is not
calculated to give an Impression of con
fidence in the continuance of the law or
an expression as to its virtues, but rather
a precautionary step to procure the neces
sary books in ample time. It is essential
that they be In readiness In January, and
It may take considerable time to prepare
them, and last winter considerable delay
was experienced in getting them.
Increase at l Diversity.
Registration at the University of Ne
braska lost week was ninety-one more than
for the first week last year, the total en.
rollment being 1,123, against 1,032 In 1903.
The greater part of these were newcomers
and the university authorities are confident
that the number of students this year is
going to be greater by considerable than
last year. Today the registration offices
were crowded with new and old studeDts
. busy making out their cards for work, and
It la likely that today will exceed any diy
last week In numbers registered, as this

Arrest Game Law Violators.
Game Commissioner Carter has received
a dispatch from Deputy Game Warden
Welch of Tllden stating that he has cap
tured two prairie chicken hunters at thnt
place. The deputy wardens are active In
hunting for violators of the law. At this
season of the yar the birds are -Just large
enough to make good shooting and it Is so
near the time for the opening of the season
that it Is difficult to hold the hunters In
check. Warden Carter has experienced
much trouble when the time comes for the
opening of the season. It Is a hard matter
to convince the average hunter that there
Is any harm In killing the birds when the
season Is to open In a short time. The
open season begins October 1 and lasts
until November 30. During that time It is
lawful to shoot grouse and prairie chicken.
The greater number of violations are re
ported from the western counties, where
the birds are very plentiful this year.
Former Lincoln Man Skips.
A cory of the Nampa (Idaho) Leader of
last, Wednesday gives some Interesting de
tails ot he sensational career there of
F. C. Woodward, formerly of Lincoln. The
last heard of Woodward here was a year
or so ago, when he was disbarred la Red
Lodge, Mont., for signing the name of a
law firm to a recommendation for admis
sion to the supreme court. At that time
he show-! such contrition that It was
thought .ie would reform, but the Idaho
paper says not. It says. In part:
y. C. Woodward, who several months ago
opened up a stock exchange in one of the
rooms of the Dewey Palace hotel, skipped
out of town Monday evening after defraud
ing a number of people out of considerable
sums of money.
Woodward covered his movements so
adroitly that no suspicion was entertained
until after he had left town. His landlord
found that Woodward, who was consider
able of a dandy and had several line suits
of clothes, had taken them all with him,
leaving nothing but a worn out suit and
some old neckties. The cannonball next
morning failed to bring him, and It was
found that he had falsified the market re
ports on the day previous. By so doing
he had collected money on margins, getting
JVoO from one person who had bought
I wheat. The wheat market closed Monday
at xi.izm. According to wooawnras Doara
It was fl.071. At about U o'clock came a
telegram from Boise, signed F. C Wood
ward, stating that he had missed the
Cannonball and would be over at 2 o'clock,
but this did not allay the suspicion, as It
was suspected that some woman In Boise,
who had been over here several times with
Woodward, had sent It In an endeavor to
cover his flight and give him more time. A
little Inquiry soon revealed that she had
sent the telegram and further that she had
come over Monday evening, purchased a
ticket to Pocatello for Woodward and hart
his baggage checked there. A telegram
was sent the chief of police at Pocatello,
but it was probably too late to head him
off. His wife and son are In Nebraska
visiting relatives.

DEMOCRATS ASK FOR HELP
Congressional Candidates in Nebraska Ap

COMMITTEE NOT INCLINED TO DONATE
Think It Too Much I.Ike Playing n
lions; Shot at the Itsces Which
Shows No Symptoms of
n Winner.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26. (Special Tele
gram.) A cry for Immediate help from
democratic candidates for congTess In Ne
braska has reached the chairman of the
democratic congressional committee. It Is
not "Please help me out against the re
publican nominee," but In terse, vigorous
English it 19 "For God's sake, give me
money."
Even Hitchcock, who was thought to
have sufficient funds at his command, has
sent In an appeal which Is being seriously
considered by Chairman Cowherd. Demo
crats don't like to think of losing Hitch
cock? for he has been active In furthering
the Interests of his party In the house and
etands well with his associates, but there
Is doubt at democratic headquarters as to
his election. This is also true of every
congressional district In tbe state.
A man from Missouri Is running the
congressional campaign, and to all who
apply for help he has one answer. "Show
me." It was learned today that the two
nominees for congress on the democratic!
ticket In Nebraska were Informed that un
less they could put up a better fight than
they are iww doing, help from the con
gressional committee could not be ex
pected. "Democrats have money, but not money
to throw away on certain districts," said
an official of the democratic congressional
committee today.
Iowans Are Confident,
Captain Hull of Iowa, vice chairman of
the republican congressional committee,
who was In town yesterday, said that he
confidently expected the republicans to
carry every congressional district In his
rtate. TheSecond district,' which Is near
the border of Illinois, is the only district
In doubt In the state, according to Hull,
the republican nominee being Senator Alli
son's secretary, Alhert F. Dawson, the
democratic nominee being the present in
