TUG OMATIA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, SEPTFrBER 12, 1003. POLITICIANS ARE QUIESCENT Little Talk Around Capital of the Coming State Convention. BURGLAR VISITS TREASURER MORTENSEN Takes Pew Dollars la Money the Aaaaal "toarteslea Ire seated o Him tr Rail - roa4 Companies. (From a Btaft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Bept. 11. (Special.) That the republican state convention will meet In Lincoln next Thursday Is not evidenced ' by any political talk at the atata capital. Old politicians who have been able to . give the right "hunch" as to who would "be nominated at a atata convention weeks before the con vention claim to be up In the air about the matter, and It Is the general belief here that the matter has not been set but that the nominations, both for supreme Judge and for resents of the university, are still up In the air. A well-known politician from northwestern Nebraska who was here yesterday predicted the nomination of Supreme Court Commissioner C. B. Letton, and said that all alone the line of the Northwestern railroad there was a general sentiment In favor of Letton. Whether or not the legal department of the North western has been using Its influence or will use Its Influence for Letton he could not aay. Other men from Out In the state who have visited Lincoln lately say there has been very little discussion of candidates and that no one could make a safe pre diction as to what would be the outcome of the convention. Around the state house the Idea Is gen eral that an anti-pass resolution will be adopted, and one state officer at least has announced that If such a resolution Is adopted he will at once surrender his pass. This man, during the month of August, traveled over 4,009 miles on official business without cost to the state. He is now mak ing arrangements to conduct his business at long range, at least until the next legis lature makes an appropriation for his traveling expenses. There Is some talk of a resolution re questing the nominees for regents to pledge themselves to hold open meetings when transacting business for the state uni versity and thus do away with the execu tive session and the censored reports of the meeting which are now given to- the public. Baralar Robs State Treaanrer. A thoughtful burglar who entered the residence of State Treasurer Peter Morten sen last night relieved that officer of a delicate duty which probably he himself would have performed after the next re publican state convention. ' The burglar wilfully and maliciously did take from the coat pocket of the state treasurer certain annual "courtesies" over certain railroads In Nebraska, which had been presented to the state . treasurer in the form of passes. Along with the courtesies the burglar took i In cash, a gold watch and some Jewelry, the latter the property of Mrs. Mortensen. The burglar removed the screen from a window, raised the window and walked Into the room, lighting the way, evidently, by matches, as a number of burnt ones were found scattered over the room. The fact that Mr. Mortensen failed to awaken during the visit of the midnight Intruder Is attributed to his easy conscience and the knowledge that no complaint has ever been made against him as state treasurer. Burglars also entered the house of Judge Tlbbetta and attempted to enter the house of Frank IfolUngsworth of the land com missioner's office. At the latter place Hoi llngswortb awakened and scared the men away.,' At, ..Judge Tibbetts' the burglars secured a quantity of silverware and a small sum of money. Trembler of Normal Board. Governor Mickey In all probability will be called upon to take a hand In affairs of the State Normal board. The minority fac tion of i the board is not pleased with the manner In which the majority Is transact ing the business which oomea before the board. It has been customary for some time when a matter comes before the board to refer It to the executive committee "with power to act.".. The executive committee la composed of Chairman Ludden, Tom Majors and C. II. Gregg. When the propo sition comes to a show down, Delsell usu tti&f votes with the executive committee, thus making a majority. By giving the executive committee power to act, Ludden, Majors and Gregg virtually control every act of the board. These are all appointees of Governor Mickey, and the governor has the power. If he so desires, to discipline them, and It Is Intimated that a member of the minority faction will request the gov ernor to cast his eagle eye over the sltua tion. - f.'Btnst Return to Mlssonrl. Governor Mickey this afternoon honored a requisition for the return to Adair county, Missouri of J. N. Hatfield, wanted for forging a note.

A gentleman who has acquired a Judi cial turn of mind from experience on the bench out In the Sunflower State writes a carefully considered opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts as a food. He says: "For the past five years Grape-Nuts has been' a prominent feature In our bill of fare. "The crisp food, with the delicious, nuttv flavor, has become an Indispens able ' necessity In my family's every -day life. ' , "It has proved to be moat healthful and beneficial and has enabled us to prac tically abolish pastry and pies from our tabls, for the children prefer Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and unwholesome food. "Gripe-Nuts keep us all In perfect physical condition as a preventive of dis ease it Is beyond value. I have been par ticularly Impressed by the beneficial ef fects of Grape-Nuts when used by ladles who are 1 troubled with face blemishes, skin eruptions, etc It clears up the com plexion wonderfully. "As to its riutiitlve qualities, my Vxperl eiice is that one small dish of Grape-Nuts Is superior to a pound of meat for break fast, which Is an Important consideration for anyone. It satisfies the appetite and strengthens the power of resisting fa tigue, white Its use Involves none of the disagreeable consequences that sometimes follow a meat breakfast." : Kama given by Fostum Co., Battle Creek, kits.

STRANGER KILLED BT A THAI Man Giving Name of John Bernhardt trnrk by F.ngrlne Near Tekamah. TEKAMAH. Neb.. Sept. 11. Special.) Passenger train No. T, southbound, ran over and killed an unidentified man about four miles west of this place this morning. The man appeared to be a worklngman, about M years old; he had a telescope and a small grip and was standing In the mid dle of the track when the train came around a sharp curve. He seemed to be scared, as he made no effort whatever to get out of the way. The coroner's Inquest, held here this afternoon over the body of the man killed by train No. 7 this morning, supposed to be John Berhardt, completely exonerated the train crew. Conductor Capllnger, Brakeman Palman tler, Engineer McClalr and Fireman Jones were the principal witnesses, and all testi fied to practically the same thing that the deceased when first seen by the engineer was standing in the middle of the track with his face turned sideways, and he seemed to be looking down. The engineer blew the whistle and rang the bell, but he did not move. The train struck him and threw him over against the right of way fence. The train stopped, backed up and brought the body to this place and turned It over to the coroner. In an Interview with The Bee reporter this morning Burn Kelly, aged 12, told the following story: "The man that was killed by the train this morning rode from Herman to Tekamah yesterday with me and my brother, arriving here about :30 p. m. He gave his name as John Bern hardt and said he was on his may from Omaha to Sioux City to see a sister who lived at that place, and also to find, work." Kelly also said that the man was so hard of hearing that they had to yell at him or he could not hear at all. Although the deceased had a telescope filled with clothes, there was not a scrap of paper found that would in any way lead to his identity.

Permission to move the old Her residence from the corner of Sixteenth and Jacksqn streets back on the same lots to the corner of Seventeenth and Jackson; to move the west one-third of a four-story, 22x100 foot building, known as the Garfield block to the southwest corner of Sixteenth and Jack son streets; to move the three-story brick 60x90 foot building at Sixteenth and Howard to a lot next to the alley on Fifteenth street. Permission to excavate under the side walk on Howard street to the curbline and eight feet In the alley between Howard and Jackson streets; also to build a subway In the alley so as to connect with a hotel laundry. .Necessary to New Hotel. Mr. Her said all these things are neces sary for the construction and renting of his new hotel, on which he expects to begin construction within six or eight months. The city attorney advised him, he said, that the pipe line privileges are not In the na ture of a franchise, as he Is to supply only his own buildings. An ordinance will be prepared embracing all the concessions and submitted to the council for passage. Incidentally Mr. Her told the council that he Is about to make a contract with G. E. Goldner, manager of the Stoneyhrook Brick and Slate company In York county, Penn sylvania, to assume the supervision and management of a new brick manufacturing plant at Sarpy City, which will have an output of about BO.000 bricks a day. He pro duced letters from Mr. Goldner, who was out here recently. In which the writer agreed to terms made by Mr. Her and digressed on the details of brick manufac ture. Mr. Her announced that he will at tempt to form a stock company to estab lish the plant, but that If this falls will go It alone. Good Soft Mad Bricks. "Experiments have shown that a superior quality of soft mud bricks can be made from the clay at Sarpy City," said he. "This means that the price of brick In Omaha will be cut from 10 to 15 per cent. We can make the material to sell for 16 per 1,000 for the best, or face brick, as against prices of from 37.60 to 38 now prevailing. The brick can be shipped up here for J4 a car. They will be first-class building brick and of a kind now largely used In the east. Oil will be used In the plant for fuel and we will, be making bricks for the new hotel." Mr. Her announced that about ten miles of the Omaha. Beatrice A Lincoln electric railway has been laid between Lincoln and Bethany, and that recently twelve cars of steel were received, which Is going down as fast as it can be laid. Three contractors have the grading work In hand. A request from Mr. Her for the sale to him by the city of a small piece of ground near Second and Hickory streets Is pend ing. He says that the land Is needed for the construction of a four-story brick building that will be used by a new radltor manufactory and a new paint factory. The latter will make the. product from ore found In mineral deposits on a tract ot land near Louisville, Ky., that Mr. Her has bought. Chamberlain's Colio.
