Every kingdom divided against Itself Is
brought to desolation: and every city or
house divided against Itself shall not stand.
Matt. xil. 25.
The Pontsnll club will start Saturday
night at the meeting of the Boiud of Gov
ernors to endorse candidates for the mu
nicipal ticket. The word "mart" is used
advisedly, for even the most ardont Indian
anticipates a long fight and a merry one
ever more than one office all. of course, to
bo trlrtly within the wigwam and behind
doors, locked, bolted and double-hnrrrd.
With three lending spirits of the organ
ization In the field for the mayoralty nom
ination Broatrh. Benson and Saunders
and only one endorsement available for the
.lob. the fear that the old ship may go to
pieces on this rock la more than feebly
expressed.
It la presumed that with Ttroatcii'a
strength on the executive committer lit
name will be recommended by the select
few, but among the seventy-six governors
both of the other men have many sup
porters. It takes two-thirds of those pres
ent to endorse. If the mayoralty business Is
finished Saturday night and the organiza
tion Is not disrupted, the governors will
deem It much accomplished Indeed.
nuadera Seems In I,ead.
Saunders' friends and even one of his
bitterest political enemies declared Tues
day he would get the endorsement, because
they have counted up his sure votes and
know. Tom Plackburn has let out the
secret that the colors of tho club can't
possibly go to any one but " 'Uastua" Ben
son, but the Erontch machine. In which
John McDonald and R. B. Howell are two
of the big spokes In this contingency, say
the captain has things all tied up, ready
for delivery to himself and receipted
therefor, which saying Is scouted by such
men as N P. Dodge.
After the mayoralty come the city at
torneyship, clerkship, building inspector
and city comptroller. Just what date the
club will get down to these places, and
later to councilman, Is not predicted.
For the city attorneyship It Is given out
that John Paul Breen, present Incumbent,
by reason of Carl C. Wright's resignation
and an election by the council, will be tho
choice of tho Fontanclles. I'p to a few
days ago Mr. Brren looked scandalized
whenever the matter of running for the
office was mentioned, but he now admits
It Is so. He Is going to try for the Job.
No one else has come out for It. The names
of A. W. Jefferls and Ben 8. Baker, and
even that of Irving F. Baxter, have been
floating around In the atmosphere, how
ever. Greenleaf for City Clerk.
Sam K. Qrcenleaf Is practically certain
of the club's pat on the back for city
clerk. W. II. Klbourn, who has had the
Job for six years and who has managed
to make. It pay In salary increases, pota
toes, fire and casualty Insurance and surety
bonds; W. E. Stockham, Inspector of pub
lic works,- and Harry Cowduroy, street
foreman of the asphalt repair gang, have
not been on specially good terms with the
Indians. Indeed, Klbourn dropped Into the
club the ether day for tho first time.
Stockham is not of thRt variety and Cow
duroy hasn't mixed, cither.
Although John N. West berg has been
miking eyes at his old Job in the city
hall, John W. Foad will get the club's en
dorsement for city comptroller, It Is said.
Ho far as known he has no opposition worth
considering. Ho has born at the city hall
ho lung In expert capacities that the comp
troller's Job would seem as easy to him as
eating.
For Rnlldlna Inspector.
So far the fluid with respect to the build
ing Inspector's office has been ornamented
by only two figures, thoso of John II. But
ler and V. M. Wllley. Butlor Is thought
to have the inside track because of old
lime affiliations.
Within the last few days politicians of
all kinds have been at the city hall asking
questions about the Dodge primary law.
In this office they have ft figured out that
primary day will be April 3, which 'falls
on a Tuesday. Entries for the nominations
must be filed with the city clerk at least
thirty days before the date, and this should
make events lively and Interesting about
March 1 and for a few weeks prior. Of
course. In view of the supreme court de
cision, filing fees will be knocked off and
listing one's name will be cheap In fact.
It will not cost anything. A deluge of
names is looked for and a ballot that would
make two or three of the old-fashioned
crazy quilts that grandma used to turn out
every fourteen days.
Pertinent to all these matters is the all
absorbing question US to whether council
men are nominated by the people of their
wards or by the whole city. The Dodge
law Is silent on the point. Bo is the char
ter and the election law and all the other
sources of authority that can be brought

to lear. in the quest of opinion City At
tuimy Breen was asked to express his.
Itreen t.les His Version.
"After examining the Dodge law and the
charter I am of the opinion that nomina
tions for the council' must be made at
large, or by all the members of parties
who are entitled to vote in the city, and
hot by wards. There is no direct authority
for such an opinion, but it Is the only one
that can be reuched by logical Inference.
The printury law takes the making of nom
inations out of the hands und pleasure of
the parties and makes the method a legal
election. The general election law provides
that councilman shall be elected at large.
If they are to be chosen by all the voters
for the office. It is reasonable to suppose
they should be nominated by parties in a
similar manner. Particularly Is this view
convincing when there Is no exception ut
tered, either directly or by implication.
Therefore, I say that the nominations for
the council must be at large."

In the city Wednesday, and in . company

Wisconsin, examined tho books of the
National Mutual Fire Insurance company
of this city In reference to Its request for
admission into the states of Minnesota and
Wisconsin for the transaction of insurance
business.
Commissioner Pierce said the meeting
was purely a business one pertaining to
the Nebraska mutual company .ind had
no reference what ever to proposed In
surance legislation. Commissioner Host
of Wisconsin, one of the foremost In
surance authorities, concurred Jn the state
ment that there was not contemplated any
conference on legislative matters at this
meeting.
"Thut matter," he said, "will be left to a
national meeting of Insurance officials of
the several states, which has been called
to meet at Chicago February 1, at the
Instance of Insurance Commissioner Drake
of the District of Columbia, it Is ex
pected a large representation will bo

meeting as I understand It Is to confer

the country, which would be the means
of saving no end of trouble and con

Ia Praise of Chamberlain's Congh
Remedy.
Very few medicines have received so
much praise and so many expressions of
gratitude as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Grateful parents everywhere testify to Its
merits. It is a certain cure for croup and
will prevent the attack If given at the first
appearance of the disease. It is especially
adapted to children as It Is pleasant to take
and contains nothing injurious. Mr. K. A. I
Humphreys, a well known resident and
clerk In the store of Mr. E. Lock of Alice, j

used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to ward
off croup and colds in my family. I found
It to be very satisfactory and It gives me
pleasure to recommend It."

Puerto Plata, on the northern coast of
San Domingo, say that the troops cf the
fugitive president, Morales, under the com
mand of General Demetrlo Rodriguez, at
tacked Puerto Plata at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. The fighting, which was severe,
lasted until o o'clock In the evening, when
the besieging force retired. A number of
men were killed or wounded on both sides
In the engagement, during which bayonets
and swords were principally used. The
forces of Oeneral Hodriguez, which are
massed outside Puerto Plata, were, when
these ndvlccs were forwarded, preparing
for another attack on the place.
A portion of the population of Puerto
riata has declared In favor of Morales
and street fighting -lias occurred, the sup
porters of Morales shooting from the win
dows of their houses at the troops of Gen
eral Caceres, the temporary president of
Santo Domingo. These troops were ex
periencing difficulty In defending them
selves, as they were unable to locato the
persons firing on them.
A messenger who arrived here from Monte
Cristl today brought the news that Gen
eral Demetrlo Rodriguez has announced
that If his attack on Puerto Plata is suc
cesful he will proclaim himself a candidate
for the presidency of Kan to Domingo.
MOTION TO KILL INDICTMENT
F.ffort Made by Wore. I .amber I and
Welsh to Qnnsli Kill
Against Tl em.
A motion has been filed In the United
States district court by the attorneys of
Rev. George G. Ware, Frank W. Lambert
and Harry Welsh, to quash the Indictment
returned against them for conspiracy with
the Intent to defraud the United States of
titles to certain land within the U. B. I.
ranch enclosure in Sheridan, Thomas and
Hooker counties.
The motion to quash alleges there was
no Intent to. derraud. that the nine counts
of the Indictment are Indefinite, no value
Is charged, the descriptions of the lands
are inadequate and the Indictment de
fective In practically all of Its counts.
There are two indictments, each of which
alleges practically the same offenses, with
some technical differences. One of the
indictments has nine counts, and the other
but eight counts. It is the nine-count In
dictment It Is sought to quash, as it goes
Into more specific detail.
In the trial of the case, which la set for
Monday, It Is expected Frank Lambert
will be the chief witness for the govern
ment, although he Is Jointly Indicted with
the two other defendants In the conspiracy
charge. Lambert, who is held In custody
under $10,000 bonds, was In- conference with
Special District Attorney Rush Wednesday
afternoon for the purpose of outlining the
testimony ho may be cubed upon to sup
ply. Lambert was a witness before the
grand Jury that brought the Indictments
against Ware. Welsh and himself.

Many complaints have barn received by
Gas Inspector Lynch within the last sev

are from SI to 12 more monthly than they
were at the same time the year before,
despite the fact that the price of the com-
modify has been reduced from $1.35 to $1.25
per 1,000 cubic feet. The Inspector esti
mates the number of these complaints at
2t. It has been Intimated openly by at
least one of the complainants, who puts
himself on record In writing, that an undue
amount of air Is mixed with the gas, thus
causing the Increase In the bills. Con
sumers say they are obtaining no more
light or fuel than they did 11 year ago, and
still the charges have Increased instead of
going down, as they supposed would be the
case with cheaper rates.

BILL ROlRtffc!'. i'i IK HOLY TERROR
I'tt Classed aa Kipnnrnt of Corporal

Hugh 8. Fullerton, whoever he is, writing
In the sporting department of thf Chicago
, iiioune on the autiject. Borne Alanagera
I Have Met," asserts: "The best manuor
of a club In the world today is Bill
O' Rourke."
Now, Mr. Fullerton meant Bill Rourke,
1 our own Pa Bill of Omaha, and In the
lonowing part of lus statement liu will
'.rtncl many, many fans who probably know
Bill much better than he does., to say
"here.'' "here." But Mr. Fullerton. who
evidently takes himself seriously In the
further discussion of Bill Rourke, shows
himself to be a Scotch humorist, thoroughly
oblivious of his own witticism. He says:
"Bill has a system of handling ball play
ers that is efheacious to the greatest de
gree of any ever Invented. He knows that
there are but two ways to convince ball
players: to take their money from them In
fines, or to whip them. BUI doesn't be
lieve that managers should take money
from their players.
"When one of O'Rourke's players tries to
loaf, or gets drunk, or tries to disorganize
the club, Bill simply takes him around
back of the club house and. in fair battle,
whips hint into tractahilily. The player
who whin Kill urohahlv will be made
manager but that has not happened yet."
it tnere is one conspicuous trait in Bin
Rourke's character it Is kindness. Proba
bly no manager of a base bull team ever
dealt more gently with his men than this
same "pugnacious" 1.111 "O'Rourke." True,
on two occasions within the last four years
Bill has found It necessary to defend him
self, physically, against nieu on his team.
Out in Denver, sonic- three or four years
ago, Podge Alloway made some saucy
passes at Bill on the players' bench and
Bill had to put up his dukes. Then, more
recently. Ben Krhufstal thrust his boss into
a wiuabble. Both tights wen- put up to
Bill and he probably did what any other
man would have done to defend himself.
