NEW JURY LAW PUZZLES THE VOTERS Aatborltles af Portland Kspaaltloa Irals Sebraska for the Kshlblt It Made at Lewis aad Clark Fair. (From a 8Uff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 6.-Speclal.)-"There Is nothing more to be said or done," said Secretary Allen of the republican state committee at the clone of business tonight. "We have received no word of discontent or dissatisfaction from any part of the tate, and the republicans will go to the polls tomorrow In one harmonious body. A good vote should be polled, and the re publican ticket should be elected by a good majority." Oovernor Mickey, Treasurer Mortensen, Auditor Bearle, Attorney General Brown and II. C. Lindsay, clerk of the supreme court, all left for their homes today to vote tomorrow. . A number of university students who wished to go home were un able to do so for the reason the railroads would not furnish reduced rates and the committee could not expend the money for the transportation. I While the campaign. Insofar as the state ticket Is concerned, has been a quiet and uninteresting one, the Interest in the county tickets Is expected to bring out a good vote. Chairman. Warner still wants to impress on the voters not to be over confident, but to get out and vote. Pasalc for the Uwrrri. The legal department of the state has been asked by the officials of Sioux and Gosper counties for an interpretation of the Judge Tucker law, enacted by the legislature, providing for the selection of Jurors. Under the terms of the law neither of these counties ran figure Just how they can select a Jury and so far the legal de partment has not been able to solve the puzxle, though It has not yet given up. In the meantime it was' thought advisable to write Judge Tucker; but, as he has troubles of his own, this plan has been abandoned and the attorney general will continue at work on the proposition though guesses from other attorneys will be in order. The proposition to be solved Is-as fol lows: Section 1674 of the supplement to Cobbey's statutes provides: How Names Selected From List That Upon the completion of the canvass of election returns said board shall select at least 600 names from the tally sheet, pro vided that the tally sheet contains that many names: if the tally sheet does not contain 600 names, then from the actual number of names contained on said sheet, In all counties having lens "than 30,000 In habitants In the manner following: They hall divide the number of electors to be elected by the number ot the voting pre cincts and allot to each voting precinct the quotient or number thus obtained; then the board shall divide the number of names found upon each tally sheet of each voting precinct by the quotient or number alloted to each voting precinct; then shall count from the top of the tally sheet of the pre cinct the number of names of this last quotient, the last name of which shall be elected and put Into a receptacle as here inafter provided; then again count down the tally sheet, selecting every name that corresponds to the number of this quotient, until the full quota of names from said precinct shall have been chosen, and thus continue the process, through each pre cinct, until the required number of names hall hove been selected, and the names o selected shall be furnished to the clerk of the district court of the county or his deputy. The county attorney of Sioux county re ports that his county cast 404 votes In 1904. In the county there are thirteen precincts. The yots .was dlvlde.d among the precincts a follows; 10, 44. 71, 36, 47, 28, 18, tO, 15, 28, , II. 24, According to the law enacted by the last legislature It would be necessary to divide the total vote 404 by the number of precincts thirteen which would give thirty-one and a fraction. Then the vote In each precinct would have to be divided by the thirty-one. Take the pre cinct where only twelve votes were cast nd find how the Jury can be selected under the law. That Is the pucsle the attorney general Is trying to work out, and his helpers are not backward about saying they will take suggestions from any quarter. The law works equally as bad In other counties, as there will be a fraction In most instances. Compliment for Nebraska. Chairman W. P. Warner of the Nebraska, Portland exposition commission has re ceived from Chairman H. W. Goose of the commission the following letter complimen tary to the commission and to the Nebras ka exhibit: Permit me to convey to you an expres sion of the high esteem In which the mem bers of your commission arc held by the directorate of the Lewis and Clark Centen nial exposition, and to thank you for the Dlendid manner In which your state par ticipated, making one of the largest and most attractive exhibits of resources shown here. n my Judgment, the very best was maoe of the opportunity for advertising the re sources or Nelrsea. and it snouia anom general satisfaction to the cltlsens of your section to know that the representation, at tracted a remarkably lot or attention. ne exhibits were well arranged, and It la sel dom Indeed that better results are at tained bv a state than were achieved ny the executive commissioner In charge here. Much aood use was made or moving pic tures In the pavilion, and I trust that the results to your state will be so direct and marked that your cltlsens will be amply satisfied with the money thus expended. Hoase Jaaraal Ready Timothy Sedgwick of York bss sent to the secretary of state copies of the house Journal which he has Just finished print ing. Whether Mr. Sedgwick will have to pay to the state any money because of a failure to deliver the books according to the contract cannot be ascertained until Clyde Barnard, assistant clerk of the house. Informs the secretary of state when he furnished Sedgwick the last copy. The con tract reads that Sedgwick shall forfeit ttO for each day the books are not delivered after sixty days after the last copy la delivered to him. While there has been a lot of kicking on Sedgwick by some of the papers. It In said at the state house that he, more than any other printer, has forced down th price of printing charged the state and he Is the only printer who has ever had to pay a forfeit Insofar as the records show. The house Journals contains 1,656 pages and cost the state tl.lt a page, while the senate Journal, which was printed by North A Co.. filled 1.664 pages and cost the state 1164 a page. These latter were de livered some time ago. Gets the Warmers Mixed. Chairman Warner of the republican state committee Is getting some good advertis ing to which he Is pot entitled. A Mlnne sota paper publishes the picture of the handsome Nebraskan and beneath It ta this Inscription: "W. P. Warner. United States senator from Missouri, who endorses the president's position on the railroad ques tlon."

Superintendent McBrien has filed away In his office a list of answers to questions asked by applicants for teachers' certifi cates at the October examination, which are considered Just a little beyond the limit. None of those who are In the fol lowing list secured certificates, which ac- counts for the fact that Nebraska has the least per cent of illiteracy of any state In the union. Following are some of the questions and answers which ara on file In the office ot the superintendent: Defllne the writ of habeas cormis. "A writ of habeas curpus is a trade agreement between two states or nations. "A writ of habeas corpus Is the bringing Into court of a dead body to be examined as eviaence. v Define arbitration.

John Swarts, who was superintendent of bridges on the Omaha railroad until he met with an accident by which he lost his leg under the car wheels at De Soto, about three months ago, was removed from the Blair hospital to his home at Emerson yesterday morning.

The railroad company placed a coach here for the use of Mr. Swart, and about fifteen Knight Templars, of which order Mr. Swarts Is a member, accompanied him to his home and carried him to and from the depot.

The city is clear of Indebtedness and nothing stands In the way to raise all the money neces sary to put In a first-class plant. At the present time we have no provision what ever to fight fire and several large fires lately might have been avoided.

Polls open, t a. m. to 6 p. m. In the final desperation of Impending de feat Charles Leslie Is said to have con cocted a scheme that is to land him In the office of county Judge by forcing people to voto for him whether they want to or not. Ho Is convinced his only hope lies In being carried through by straight party ballots and In preventing people from voting mixed tickets. In the knowledge that the people are new to the use of the voting machine nd wjll require the assistance of election officers to assist them In Its operation he has had papers prepared to apply for a court order to prohibit the election officers from giving such assistance to the voters. The plan Is to ask for the writ at the last moment so that the election boards will be tied up and the voter unable to operate the machine by himself, will be forced to pull the straight ticket knob or not vote at 11. "No legally qualified voter should allow himself to be scared off from having his vote cast Just the way he wants It," said a well known lawyer. "That Is his constitu tional right and more than that the law expressly provides that any voter can have an election officer set the machine for him according to his directions. All the voter need do by himself is to pull the lever that registers the vote. No court order can de prive him of this right or prohibit the elec tion officers from rendering this assistance." "Dave" Mercer Is in Omaha on the point of again building bis often built house. He and his wife have been here most of the time since the Horse Show, and It Is given out that the contracts are about to be let for a 130,000 residence on a piece ot ground near Fortieth street In the swell residence district. This is said to account for the re newed political activity of Blackburn and the Interest Mercer has been devoting to the candidacy of some of his friends who are running for office, all of which is a pre liminary to the campaign next year In which Mercer expects to figure. County Clerk Drexel and his assistants ara the busiest people In town, getting out the necessary paraphernalia for the eleC' tlon boards. Wagons were hauling away ballot boxes and the clerks were making up packages of stationery and other sup piles. These include books, blank return sheets, candles, pencils, sealing wax and other things necessary to make a proper record of the Judgment ot the freemen of Douglas county. One feature of the short registration not heretofore noted Is that It appeals to the Judges and clerks as promising light work. Some precincts are anywhere from fifty to ISO short of the registration of 1904 and the work of the election officers will be propor tionately easier. At republican headquarters Chairman Gibson, while disappointed at the failure to get out a larger registration, expressed a serene confidence In 'the result. He said he felt confident the ticket would come through victorious. Secretary Oreevy waa equally optimistic, '"frbe; shortage In the registration," said he. ,"ls. greater In pro portion on the side of our opponents. All we have to do now Is to get .the vote out and our candidates will be elected by sub stantial majorities." Frank Bandle, candidate for register of deeds, said : "I probably had as hard a row to hoe as any man ever had on the county ticket and for a while I was a bit dubious. For the last few days, however, there has been a steady Indication that the republican ticket has been making stronger appeals to the Judgment of the voters. I 3 Food to work on is food to live on.

GREET BUSTER BROWN AUTHOR Cartoonist Ontcanlt Is Nearly Mobbed by Delighted Children Oat alde Braadels Store. "Dick" Outcault, the artist who made "Buster Brown" famous, was nearly swamped In a Juvenile maelstrom In front of J. L. Brandols & Sons' yesterday. Mr. Outcault. who Is extremely fond of children, wanted to meet as many of the little ones of Omaha as possible, so he chal lenged all the children In the city to pick him out of the crowds In front of Brandels' at S o'clock yesterday afternoon. J. L. ' Brandels & Sons, the agents of the Buster Brown clothing In Omaha, co-operated with Mr. Outcault by offering prises of suits of clothes to the first two boys who could make the proper guess. Promptly at 6 o'clock Mr. Outcault, ac companied by two friends, approached the store from the north. Hundreds of child ren were waiting to see the man who draws the Buster and Tlge pictures, and he no sooner reached the store than he was over whelmed by shouting, eager children. The first two lads to recognise him were Elver Rudeen, 1034 South Twentieth street, of the Mason school, and John Swarts, 1437 South Fourteenth street, ot the Comenlus school. The boys clung to the Buster Brown artist and were taken Inside Brandels' store, where they were fitted to Buster Brown suits. Hundreds of children followed Mr. Outcault Into the store and wanted to shake hands and talk with Buster Brown's father. The scene was intensely Interesting to the crowds of people on the streets and hun dreds of mothers and fathers were on hand to see their boys try for the' prise. Robbers rrlghteaed Away. KEARNEY.

I find." said Mr. Fink, "the mlsrepre eentatlons concerning myself put forth In the Interest of Mr. Fleming have reacted for the benefit of the whole ticket. Demo crats have come to me, friends of the gen eral democratic ticket, and have assured me that the very apparent effort to center on my opponent all the strength the Hitch cock crowd can control has disgusted the friends of Flynn. Drexel and Deuel. Tracy and Mengedoht followers also see their can dldates are being sacrificed to the vindictive feeling of Hitchcock against myself. I have no doubt whatever about the result." The result of the voting should be known shortly after 7 o'clock Tuesday evening. This is the Judgment of the experts In charge of the machines and who have In struoted the Judges and clerks In their du ties. Saldf one of the custodians: An average set of Judges ought to be able to make very quick work of taking off the record when the polls close. While It was somewhat difficult to make some of the election officers understand the opera tion of the machines the great majority of them have a good knowledge of what is to be done and can do It quickly and cor rectly."

City Engineer Rosewater says: "I wish to call attention to the Im portance of voting on the city bond ques tions Tuesday. We really need $160,000 for sewer mains to relieve different sections of the city in the Interest of public health as well as public safety against storms, but under the law we are limited so we can ask for only $90,000. We may. have to ask for $50,000 or $60,000 additional next spring. The money Is needed particularly to relieve the wholesale part ot the city between Ninth and Twenty-fourth streets and for the section of a main sewer In connection with the Union Pacific Railway company on Ixard street to (the river. "The law requires these bonds receive a two-thirds majority vote; in other words, they must carry two to one.
