A DU Fight On.
The election of a grand receiver at the

Workmen In South Omaha May 9 rro;T) ses
to be a moet Interesting !rt;nr. The twj
principal candidates are Marc G. Perkins
of the Columbus Telegr.im and W. A.
Greenwald of Falls City, a banker. Mr.
Perkins, being a newspaper mm, Is con
ducting quite a furious campaign through
the country press, which ls looked upon as
being very unprofessl mal, or rather un
becoming, by the Imciters of Mr. Grttn
wald. They say that .1 c:indula'.o fol a
lodge office should not broa i ;nt.i runt
with his ambitions. Mr. Tcritlnf is send
ing out ntat little folders containing pros
notices of his ability an 1 his lltness for
the place.
Tler Bone of Contention.
Former State Architect Tyler promises
to be the reck upon which the State Board
of Public Lands and Buildings will break
within the next few diys. One or two
members of the board are desirous of em
ploying Mr. Tyler as a state Inspector to
look after the state buildings now under
course of construction and to pass upon
them before they are accepted by the state
board. Other members of the board are In
favor of allowing Mr. Tyler to remain off
the slate payroll, inasmuch as the legisla
ture repealed the law creating the office
of state architect merely because It could
not get the assurance that Mr. Tyler would
not be re-employed as state architect.
Heqolnltlons He fused.
Perry Meyers of Falls City will not have

mother of the girl admitted that she had
agreed to compromise the case and not
prosecute if Meyers would pay her $2,000,
the requisition was refused.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., April 21. (Spe
cial.) Grand Island's newly elected mayor
delivered his first message last night, in
which he outlined more definitely his pol
icies. Despite the mass convention plat
form to which he was pledged, continuing
the policies In general of the lust four
years, there was some real or pretended
opposition to him on the ground that he
would run a wide-open city. If anything
the Inclination is in the other direction,
for In his message Mayor Schuff indorses
the policy of the closed gambling house nnd
the absolute disassodatlon of the oocial
evil from the saloons, introduced four
years ago; furthermore suggests that the
luws restricting minors from visiting pool
halls is not strictly enough enforced and
gives notice that the police officer must
not be found In any saloon, or any other
place of amusement, excepting when called
on duty. The mayor recommends the call
ing of a special election as soon as all the
facts concerning the establishment of an
electric light plant In connection with the
city's municipally owned water works can
be laid1 before the public, for the question
of voting bonds In the sum of $35,000 for the
eloctrlcal part of the works.

NORFOLK Eire which broke out In tho
home of Farmer S. A. Hickman, Holt
county, during tho night, camo very
near cremating himself and his family of
six children. They were lucky to escape
Into the pouring rainstorm In their night
robes. The building was set afire by a

companies which started In business here
last summer has put In machinery for and
begun the manufacture of brick, using sand
and cement the same as for stone. When
glazed and painted they very closely re
semble pressed brick, but tho cost of man
ufacture Is only about half of tho latter.
The artificial stone put in here last sea
son for foundations appears to stand every
test successfully and the manufacturers
think their brick will be able to compete
to great advantage with pressed brick.
BROKEN BOW The heaviest rain
storm of the year In this section of the
county made its appearance early last
evening and continued throughout the
night. About 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing the wind shifted to the north and
brought on a disagreeable storm of snow
and sleet, which Is now In progress. The
amount of rain that tell during tho night
measured 3.20 Inches. Farmers In town
who have planted early crops feel very
much afraid that their work, so far, has
been In vain, especially with the young
fruit trees. If the snow keeps on and the
temperature continues to lower they will
have excellent grounds for their fears.
