(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

Permit me to convey to you an expres

Dlendid manner In which your state par
ticipated, making one of the largest and
most attractive exhibits of resources
shown here.

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

Much aood use was made or moving pic

results to your state will be so direct and
marked that your cltlsens will be amply
satisfied with the money thus expended.

Election Weather Fair and warmer.
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.

"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.

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."

Ho Hays, Will Reader City
Dead Next Year aad
Delay Work.
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. The bond
questions on the voting machine surfaces
will be at the top and should receive im
mediate consideration" from every voter.
Additional Provisions Needed.
"We will need also additional provisions
for a section of the city In the vicinity of
Twenty-third. Twenty-fourth and Twenty
fifth and California streets, connecting
with the sewer section built last year and
extending to Sixteenth and California
Cltlsens of the Saddle Creek valley also
want an extension of sewers. These sewers
cannot - all be built out of the limited
amount to be voted this fall, but If this is
voted an additional amount can be pro
vided for at the next spring election, so
that we can construct the sewers required
It bonds are voted now and In the iprlng.
"The paving bonds, also, are needed. It
paving Is to be conducted next year it is
important to vote these bonds for Inter
sections. Engine house bonds, also, are
called for.
"All these should be voted before casting
a vote for the candidates, or at least as
soon as possible under the mechanism of
the machines. Failure to carry these bonds
will make the city deader than a door nail
next year and put everything oft until lata
in the fall.
"Other cities vote large quantities of
bonds, from $500,000 to $1,000,000 at a time,
but our laws limit the total amount we can
authorise in any one year for all purposes
at $200,000."
