The decision of the supreme court knock ing out the new law relating to' county lommlssloners Is accepted as having ro v nnsslble doubt of the legitimacy f the candidacy of the four asplrante for ounty commissioner. It has been tacitly inderstood up to this time that CommU iloners McDonald and Hofeldt would have lelt inclined to make the two men elected 'orce their way Into the position through he courts, except in the contingency that fohn McDonald should be elected sheriff md Charles A. Tracy commissioner. In hat event Commissioner McDonald would ave retired without a contest. It is under itood. and Hofeldt would have stepped out n favor of a democratic successor. Now be supreme court decision makes clear lading for the two successful men at the :omlng election and it is confidently ex ected the next county board will be solidly (publican. County Clerk Drexel, discussing the de :llon which makes it necessary to noml mte a candidate for register of deeds this toll, save: I am looking for Judge Buttons decl tion in the mandamus case against me to rake plain the path I shall follow. Per tonally. I think all candidates who get on :lie official ballot now will have to go on ly petition. I may be mistaken In this view and if I am it will not make me at all j sore to have the court say so. In any event, this office will wait until October 25 before closing the ballot and sending it to the printers. That period of time should give everybody a chance to make good or drop out." County Attorney Slabaugh Is inclined to agree with Mr. Drexel on the question of petition filing, but he does not feel like committing himself officially at present. Bert C. Minor of the county treasurer's office is an out and out candidate for the republican nomination for register of deeds. He is busy making a canvass of the mem bers of the county committee, which will make the nomination. If the decision to be rendered by Judge Sutton In the man damus case Saturday should upset this calculation the various candidates will hustle to get proper petitions signed and verified. Secretary Oreevy of the republican county committee also is losing no chance he may have to land the nomination. It is understood that Mr. Wilcox of South Omaha is not a candidate In the sense that he will make a personal canvass for the nomination. There are hints of a dark horse to be sprung at the committee meet ing, but the whispers do not sound the names. On the democratic side Deuel has no op position for renomination. A rally of the republicans of the Sixth ward will be held at Idlewlld hall, Twenty- fourth and Grant streets, this evening. Gurdon W. Wattles and Robert Cowell will address the meeting. Refreshments will be served. Every republican in the ward is urged and Invited to be present. The meeting is called by E. F. Morearty, presi dent of the Sixth Ward Republican league. Among the candidates for the republican nomination for register of deeds Is George F. Munroe. the former grocer. Mr. Monroe has participated In republican politics In Omaha for a long time. Not long ago he sold his business. DISFIGURING ULCER People Looked it Her In Antazisent. Pronounced Incautle. Ftci :i Clear is Em. THANKS GODloR CUTICURA Mrs. P.

BRINGS NEW SUIT IN OMAHA Plaintiff in Home Libel Case Institutes 1 Proceeding. Defeated at George W. Werts. through his attorneys, McGilton & Gaines, has filed a suit for J5.000 damages against John C. Sprecher. Both parties live at Schuyler, in Colfax county, Nebraska, and plaintiff has been county attorney, while the defendant la a news paper publisher. It was while he was so serving his county that, as the petition alleges, 'Sprecher accused htm of being a grafter and not a fit man for the position of county attorney. The petition contains eight or ten counts, all complaining of like aspersions alleged to have been cast upon Werts by Sprecher, and held by plaintiff to constitute libel. SCHUYLER, Neb., Oct. 20. (Speclal.) The celebrated Sprecher-Werts libel suit was tried in the district court this week. The case has been hanging fire for some time and was originally for $4,000 damages. Werts withdrew three of the counts and the case as it was tried this week was for $1,000 damages for an article published by Aprecher In the Free Lance wherein he charged Georgo F. Wertz, then county attorney, with accepting fees for defending a defendant In a case that he was prose cuting as county attorney. The case went to the Jury Tuesday evening about 6 o'clock and Wednesday morning at about 4 o'clock the Jury returned a verdict, "no cause for action." The case has attracted wide attention.

OMAHA MEN AND THEIR HOBBIES The Twelfth Ward Republican club will meet at Thirtieth and Spaulding streets Saturday night, with an address by A. W. Jefferis. William Coburn denies emphatically that he Is, in any sense, a candidate for the re publican nomination for register of deeds. "This boom was started by Constable Jim Casey without any consent of mine," said Mr. Coburn. "I tried to choke It off, but Casey ts an awful talker. I am not a candidate for register of deeds, but I will be a candidate for councilman from the Eleventh ward. Democrats are all torn up over the cir culation of cards asking voters to drop a ballot for John C. Drexel as county clerk and forget the rest of the ticket In favor of the republicans. The card reads as fol lows: TO VOTE FOR JOHN P. DREXEL FOR COL'NTV CLERK. Directions for Voting a Split Ticket. First Close the curtain. Second Hull Die lever with the word KKl'l 1H..ICAN over to the right until the lien rings. Tiilrd Turn up Pointer No. 4A and turn down Pointer No. 4B over John C. Drexel't naniQ ana leave it mere. Fourth Open the curtain and walk out; Any voter following this advice would vote a straight republican ticket except for county clerk. The move is regarded as a deliberate throw down of his party as sociates by Mr. Drexel. "This goes to show," said one of the republican politicians, "how panic-stricken the democratic candidates have become, They are afraid to seek votes as democrats or to help one another." Chairman Cosgrove of the democratic county committee had nothing to say on the subject. He had Drexel closeted "-'th him for a long Urn, but tas chairman ft wimi am ( ( J VOp 7 W. F.

MATTER HAS BEEN LONG DISCUSSED Customers of Omaba People Are Sow on Terms of Equality with Those Dealing; at Other Places. Exchange on personal checks will no longer be charged by the banks of Omaha. This was the conclusion reached Thursday at a conference of officers of the various banks on the subject of exchange. The matter has been subject to complaint by Omaha Jobbers for years and the de cision Is the result of two considerations. In the first place the use of personal checks Instead of drafts greatly helps the Omaha Jobbers by facilitating business exchange between them and their country customers. It also has the effect of seeuring for Omaha tho trado of those merchants who do busi ness at other markets rather than pay ex change. The second consideration la de pendent on the first. It is that the inter ests of the Jobbing houses are the Interests of the banks. Kansas City and St. Joseph banks have not charged exchange for a long time, and Jobbers of those cities have in that muoh had the advantage of Omaha. These cities charge merely the cost of collection, as Omaha now proposes to do, and the three cities will be on the same basis as far as exchange is concerned. The Omaha banks have charged exchange on a scale according to location. For points in Nebraska it was 10 cents for $ln0. for Wyoming and Colorado about 20 cents and for the coast still more. The only charge now will be the cost of collection, which will Include any exchange which may be charged at banks by whose cus tomers checks are issued. Banker Not Entirely Pleased. There are two features of the new ar rangement which are not pleasing to bank ers. The country dealer who wishes to send money to Omaha will now never buy a draft, and as most of the country banks do not charge their customers exchange on personal checks, they will lose one source of Income. Another difficulty is that the man who has no money in the bank is encouraged to da business Just as If he had. He may send in his check, expecting to make his account good be fore the check returns to the home bank. Most frequently he does, but sometimes he doesn't, in which case the check is protested and trouble is made for the Omaha bank. This of course has always been done, but the Omaha bankers con sider absence of exchange charges an en couragement in that it teaches payment by check.

TEAMS ARE SCARCE IN OMAHA Work on Streets Delayed by Inability v of Commissioner to Move Earth. Inability to get teams and wagons is de laying Street Commissioner Hummell's ef forts to patch up the damage done by re cent storms. Teams are the scarcest things In the Omaha labor mart Just now and soma of the owners and drivers are receiving btfrgor wages than they ever drew before. With lots of paving going on every available pair of work horses in town is busy and only a few old standbys can be obtained by the city for street work. The commissioner Is working a small force and doing what he can to fill holes and remove deposits of mud and debris. "Any man who wants work for himself or for his teRra in Omaha can get It," said General Manager Smith of the Omaha ft Council Bluffs Street Railway company. "We are employing a large force of men and could use more If they were obtalnahle. Large forces of men and teams are at work on the Leavenworth street track, on the Twentieth street track, on Thirty-third street, on Seventeenth street and on South Sixth street, and as soon as we can teke some of the men from these Jobs we will begin the construction of our extension to Forest Lawn cemetery. "People are complaining that they have to ride in open cars and I suppose that many are not fresh air advocates, but we are doing the best we can. Twenty large closed cars were ordered from Cin cinnati to be delivered in Omaha In Sep tember, and we have a clause'in our con tract with the manufacturers inflicting a penalty of $3 per car per day, ao the cars are being hurried as fast as possible, but some unavoidable delays seem to be hold ing them back. We are Just as anxious aa the people to get these cars, as we do not like the complaints any more than people like to make them. I understand that the Forest Lawn association has or dered a new ' beautiful entrance to the cemetery and this will help the appear ance of the grounds and we will build the track aa soon as possible. "The car barns at the Bluffs were to have been finished In September, but here again was fate against the contractor, and we have Just been able to put in dur tracks. "I don't understand the opposition of soms of the owners of property along the routes which we are striving to secure to Fort Crook, but we hope to have tnough property for a right-of-way soon and thea will atart to build." TEMPORARY TRACK PERMITTED Council Authorises Missouri Paciflo to Build Line to Deliver Paving Material. In order to complete the brick paving on Leavenworth street, from Twenty-ninth to Thirty-seventh streets, tho council Friday morning at a special session granted per mission to the Missouri Pacific to place a temporary switch track on the east side of Thirty-ninth street, from the Beit Lln tracks to Leavenworth street, so that ma terial can be hauled In. Owing to steep grades and heavy mud, Contractor Murphy wns unable to get brick to the street in any other way. One wagon with six horses attached could not over come the obstacles. Rather than let tht paving be delayed at this late season, Coun. ellman Dyball of tho Seventh ward got busy and had authority given for the temporary track, which will be put In without expenss to the city.
