EXCITEMENT AT W1SDDP
Eetertl If en Trj to file for Office of Couotj
Commissioner.
flUX AND DRtXtl REFUSE THE MONEY
Bator Thomas Eatrri tho Lists for
Nomination tha Office of
(oaaty Jadst at Elav
eath Hoar.
Cloning hours of the last day for filing
a rsndidates for nominations to county
cfTtces were not entirely without Incident.
State Benator Benjamin F. Thomaa en
tered the county clerk's office about 4
O'clock and smilingly laid down a ch-ek
tor l.V), with the declaration that he desired
to file tor county Judge. Senator Thomaa,
although one of the framers of the pri
mary law, had made the mistake of getting
Into the wrong office with hla money. He
was directed to the county treasurer's
office, where he paid hla money and went
back to the clerk's office to leave hla re
ceipt. This was fnally arranged, and the
senator's name will go on the primary bal
lot as an aspirant for the republican nom
ination for county Judge.
A little lated Emmett O. Solomon of the
county auditor's office, accompanied by
William O. Vre, Henry Ostrom, and City
Attorney Rreen, walked Into the county
treasurer a office and tendered the sum of
T4. with a certificate to the effect that he
desired to file for the office of county com
missioner for the Third commissioner din
trlct. Messre. t're and Ostrom did the like
et. both specifying the Fifth enmmlssinnc
district aa the ballwlck of their political
desired.
Facing the would-be candidates, from the
other side of the counter, were the smiling
countenances of County Treasurer Fink
and County Clerk Drexel. Mr. Fink
pushed back the gold the visitors had
stacked up aa the filing fee, but he took the
certificates and Indorsed on the back there
of: Iteaeons for Itejeetloa.
"Refused, for the reason that the office
named Is not embraced In the proclamation
Ct the county clerk for the primary elec
tton to be held on Tuesduy, February 19,
Mr. Dreiel wrote the same words below
Ihe Indorsement of the treasurer and then
the certificate! were handed back to the
rpntlemcn. They at once made out new cer
tificates for the same office and tendered
the sum of 172, thua fulfilling what they
were advised might be a necessary for-
mallty, If the law holds good which ex
tends the terms of county commissioners
to four years. These certificates and the
money accompanying were refused with
the earn endorsement. Then exit the vis
iting party whose gold had been refused.
Within a few minutes William J. Hunter
and a friend atepped In. Mr. Hunter also
desired to try for the coinmlsslonership in
the Fifth district. His money too was
twice refused and he took away two cer
tificates with the same endorsement as had
been put on the others.
Half an hour later Charles A. Tracy
walked In, also accompanied by a friend,
and he, aa a democrat, dared the county
treasurer and the county clerk to let him
fun for commissioner in the district now
represented by his old friend, Peter Hofeldt.
He put down IM. with- a certificate. When
this had .been pushed back and the paper
Indorsed, Mr. Tracy raised the bet to $71,
and again It waa refused with a smile. "We
tieed the money," said Mr. Flhk. "but
tinder the circumstances w shall have to
Tet you keep it."
What further action, if any, will be taken
. in this commlsslonershlp mflddle Is yet
to be developed. None of the gentlemen In
terested would talk of their plans, If they
have any.
Tito Democratic Surprises.
A slight ripple of surprise waa created
When Dr. J. F. Borglum filed as a domo
cratlc candidate for" coroner. This was
duplicated a little lated when M. J. Lacy
of the city engineer's office declared himself
in as the democratic candidate for county
engineer.
The offices of the county treasurer and
clerk were kept open up to 5 o'clock, to
accommodate those who desired to get on
the list as candidates for the county com
mittees of the two parties. As will be seen
by the lists printed below, the republican
candidates for committeeman are about
twice as numerous as the democratic.
Preceding Benator Thomas. County Clerk
Drexel was the last Of the "big fellows" to
get on the list. Priority of filing has no
Significance In the coming primary elec
tion, however, as the names of candidates
for any given office are to be rotated on
the ballot In every precinct.
. On the republican side County Treasurer
Fink has no opposition for renomlnatlon.
And his democratic competitor, William
Fleming, also has a free Held. The shriev
alty . and county Judgeship contests will
engage the most attention, and on these
much effort Is to be expended, especially
on. the republican side.
For the Judgshlp nomination on the demo
cratic side Attorney J. W. Woodrough has
ns opposition. On the republican side
three republican candldatea whose 'given
name Is Charles are to contest, Judg6
Dickinson, Attorney Haller and Chief Clerk
Leslie Of the county Judge's office. Sena
tor Thomas makes a fourth In the raoe.
Job Power Stroagrer.
For sheriff the present incumbent, John
Power, Is considered practically sure of
the democratic nomination, although be U
aeeeking a fourth term. His opponent Is
Thomas J. Flynn, formerly Jailer under
Sheriff Power. He Is depending on disaf
fection growing out of the South Omaha
packing house strike, to give him the
nomination

On the republican side It was expected
that full lists of committee candidates
would be filed by the antls and by the
regular organization, but the antls fell
down In many places. One of the watchers
who was keeping track of the republican
filings said: "There are three districts In
which no names whatever are filed, there
are three more In which the antls have
unopposed candidates, there are twenty
two districts in which the machine has
unopposed candidates. That leaves fifty
two districts to ba contested. With twenty
two to start on. the machine ought to
have as safe a lead In control of the new
county committee as It has of the present
committee."

FEES WILL NOT PAY EXPENSES
Recelpta Not K early Equal to Cost
at Polls.
While the approximate cost of the pri
mary election Is not yet ascertainable, ex
cept aa to two items, the Income to the
county from fees will not come anywhere
near to meeting the expense. The follow
ing table shows the fees paid in by all
candidates:
Five candidates for sheriff at 150 t 2M
Two candidates Mr treasurer at (30 160
Five candidates for county Judge at loo 250
Three candidates for county clerk
at $50 150
Three candidates for county engineer
at 140 120
Two candidates for county superintend
ent at 136 n
Four candldatea for police Judge,
Omaha, at 3 144
Six candidates for police Judge. South
Omaha, at $30 120
Seventeen candidates for Justice of the
peace at $10 160
Four candidates for coroner at $10 )
Seven candidates for constable at $10.. 70
Nine candidates for road overseer at
$19 TO
Total $1.62
Among the Items of expense that are
now settled are: Booths, $5864 clerks and
Judges, $3,600. There are sixty-eight booths
rented at $7 and twelve at $10, and the 400
clerks and Judges will get $3 each for their
services on each of three days. The Item
of printing will be the large part of the
expense of the primary election, as the
county clerk figures It, because of the pro
vision of the law makinf rotation of names
compulsory. Until all the .candidates are
listed and the number of changea neces
sary can be figured out, the cost of the
printing will not be known definitely.

and two sons. The loss was duly registered
at the police station and detectives about to
be placed on the case when the old man's

cleared up the apparent mystery.
Tt appears the father and sons have been

IP GRAIN FIRMS FAVORED
E&llroadi Said to Hsys Played Into Hindi
of Chicago Bujsri.
MANIPULATION OF THE EUVATOR CHAFGE
Cat la Rates Fats All on Even Foot
lag Aaata and May Resalt la
las; to Omaha,
Discussion of the recent cut In grain
rates from the Missouri river to Chicago
brings to. light the fact that there has re
cently been a discrimination by the rail
roads In favor of two Chicago houses
whereby they were able to get all the
grain shipped from Omsha. According to s
local dealer who wss compelled either to
ship to these firms, Harris, Scotten Co.
and Rosenbaum Co., they were allowed
elevator charges of 7 or $ cents, while other
companies were given a cent or two less.
This was not noticed until about two
weeks ago. Then the two firms began to
hid above their competitors and get all the
grain. Other firms declared that they
could not think of paying the price offered
by Harris. Scotten ft Co. and Rosenbaum
Co. Omaha dealers naturally went where
they could get the best price and most of
the grain which has been sold to Chicago In
the last two weeks has gone to these firms.
Since the cut in rates, which means that
the railroads have eliminated altogether the
payment of elevator charges to grain com
panies, all the Chicago firms have been
bidding alike. A local . dealer remarked
that It was owing to the kicks of the
Omaha trade on this condition of affairs
that the rate reduction was brought about.
Holding; for Lower Rates,
Some of the dealers are holding their
w-heat In the expectation that rates will go
lower. The Northwestern has not .yet an
nounced that It will meet the cut of the
other roads and the grain men are hoping
that the road will still further reduce the
rate when If does make a cut. One firm
has 100 cars which It Is ready to ship as
soon as the rate question Is definitely set
tled. It Is the general opinion In Omaha that
the reduction In rates will benefit tho far
mer about 4 cent a bushel, the extent of
the difference between the recent cut and
the elevator charges formerly .-.llowed by
the railroads. The new condition will not
detract any grain from Kansas Clv, how
ever, for the same charge is made from
that city as from Omaha.
What It will do Is to get grain for Omaha
which might otherwise go to Minneapolis.
The rate was cut from Omaha to Minne
apolis, the cut proportional to that on grain
from Omaha to Chicago. But it was left
the same to Minneapolis from points Inter
mediate between that city and Omaha. It
was also left the same from Minneapolis to
Chicago. Since Omaha dealers can offer
the farmers In Intermediate territory 4
cent more for grain than Minneapolis deal
ers, much grain will come here which
otherwise would have gone north. By rea
son of this advantage tho Omaha Elevator
company has bought In the last ten flays
several cars of grain from persons who
have always shipped to Minneapolis.
It Is expected that the Minneapolis grain
men will raise a howl of protest nt once
and see what they can do to get some other
adjustment of rates.
CHICAGO BOY IS ARRESTED
Yoath Wanted oa Criminal Charge Is
Picked I'p by Two Omaha
Detectives.
Detectives Heltfeld and McDonald have
arrested Boyd Sluter, a young man of 20
years, wanted at Chicago on a charge of
securing a money order under false pre
tenses. An officer Is on the way from Chi
cago for the prisoner.
The police records show that a year ago
Slater was employed at the Murray hotel
as bell boy. He Is said to have committed
a number of thefts at the hotel and then
escaped to Chicago, where he secured and
cashed a postofflce order, so It Is reported.
Then he went to Wyoming, stole a horse
and served a sentence of one year, which
sentence recently expired. He was arrested
soon after his return to this city.

everything and all tooked the part.

recommendation be voted down Dr. Schln
del says that Superintendent McLean will
be Instructed to appoint principals for
these two schools.
A meeting of the bonrd Is to be held
Monday night, when this matter of select
ing' principals will come up. Janitors will

There Is no possibility of tho additions

Many Thefts Reported.
Within the last few weeks quite a num
ber of petty thefts have been reported to
the police and some have not been re-
I ported. While the police have worked
diligently on the cases reported, the right
parties have not been located. In the
burglaries reported to the police it appears
that the thieves take only money, lesvtng
Jewelry behind. Chief Brlggs and other
officers of the police force think that a
young woman is mixed up in some of the
stealing, but they are not positive.
In every case where houses have been
entered and money taken not the slightest
clue has been found to help the police.
Officers on regular beats wlo not get very
far off the main thoroughfares and a
sneak thief generally has things pretty
much his own way In the residence district.
Police Commissioner Van Sent was In
consultation with Chief Brlggs and the
captain yesterday and something is going
to be dons to try and stop tnis petty
thieving.
