TIIE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, 'APRIL 3. 1006. POLITICIANS UP IS TIIE AIR Hot Inclined to Talk Much About the State Committee Mtetins:. RUMORS CAUSE WORRY AT STATl HOUSE On Hai It Railroads Desire Chans omfM a ail Atnthrr that Antl na.lra Elrnrnt llaa Itcrlaeri - the Same Thing. 'From a 8taft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 2. (Special )-8trange to relate the state hnum politicians and lAncaster county fixers are silent regard ing the meeting of the republican state commute next Thursday. The Lancaster county political agents are worried h:If to death over what the congressional com mittee will do at Ita meeting Friday. They do not want a primary to aelect the dele gates to ths congressional convention and they do not know how they can prevent the primary It Pollard take a notion he wants It and sticks to the notion. The tats house candidates are rather quiet about the state committee meeting be cause they are not sure what they want, so all of them say whatever the com mittee does will suit them. Just at this time these officers who are running for a accond nomination are in a peculiar position because ot the numerous political reports Ift circulation. For a whole week there has been no talk of any kind of a combination, when today some one alleged he had discovered that the railroads Intended to Use their best efforts to reorganise the entire state house coip-, to do whtcht It would be necessary to defeat all of the first term officers. Probably this would not have created any cold chills along the spines of these can didates were it not for the fact that some days ago (lt was rumored pretty strongly that the great popular wave of reform which is Just now going up against the railroad proposition, Was going to do that selfsame thing. Should both reports be true, and candidates seem ready to believe anything now. It would put these first termers tip against a serious proposition, and they would be ground between the two warring factions. . The state officers would be Veiling to hsvs a direct primary to nominate the tats ticket, but they pretend to believe the state committee) nvlll not endorse the move. It seems to be the general opinion among politicians in this county that the state committee will Include in Its call for a stats convention the endorsement of a candidate for the United States senate. Then if a lot of candidates for the honor come out, the convention can have the pleasure of turning down the recommend ation endorsing a candidate. It seems to be assured there will be a fight in the convention if the Lancaster statesmen know what they are talking about. Depositions la Boyd County Cases. Depositions were taken in the office of Iand Commissioner Eaton this afternoon In ths Boyd county land cases. The settlors to the number of eight, who have hereto fore claimed the land, have now acknowl edged the state's ownership and are suing to have set aside the leases to other parties so they ean buy the land. The case is to be submitted to the supreme court on briefs and the only point is the validity of the leases. The settlers now want to buy the lend. During the time they were trying to get a deed from the state the stats leased the land to other parties. If the settlers can get these leases set aside they will be able to buy the land. This afterndorf'rord was received from Washington that the state had won the Em mons case. This is the matter which Cap tain Murfln was sent to Washington to look after. , ., School Exhibit at Pair.

The state Board of Purchase and Sup plies began its regular quarterly meeting this morning to buy supplies for the state Institutions for the coming quarter. Sam ples of clothing, shirts, canned goods, coffee, tea and everything else used In the home are on exhibition in the senate cham ber and the board Is Inspecting the sam ples snd the prices sttached. The meeting Is open to the public, contractors and all alike and will last until tomorrow night. Superintendent Alden of the Norfolk asylum, Commander Presson of the Mil ford Soldiers' home. Commander Askwlth of the Grand Island Soldiers' home, and Superintendent Hayward of the Kearney Industrial school are in attendance. No attention will be paid to the bids on coal, as most of the Institutions have enough on hand to last several months. This was bought recently at a price a little In excess of the contract price. The bids are all for western coal and wero slightly higher than heretofore. Askwlth says Board Did Rlsht. Commander Askwlth of the Soldiers' home at Grand Island, who is here at tending a meeting of the Board of Pur chase and Supplies, said the board did right in adopting a rule not to buy new uniforms for members of the home whn they desired to go away on a furlough. "With the possible exception of West Virginia," said Mr. Askwlth, "no state in the union except Nebraska allows thu members of the Soldiers' home to wear their uniforms when not at the horns. This rule, adopted by the Board of Public Lands and Buildings, wUl cut little figure though, as I will be compelled to buy an old soldier clothes whenever he needs them and I Shall do so. The board should have said the soldiers must not wear uni forms except while in the home. "It has frequently been the practice for some of the old soldiers to enter the home and as soon as they get a supply of clothes they leave and remain away until they need more clothes. The government gives us $100 a year for each old soldier and this is paid according to ths time the soldier Is In the home. "As a matter of fact the old soldier should not wear his uniform when not In ths home. Brass buttons and a blue uni form always attract lots of attention and should an old soldier, while away from the, home, wearing his uniform, get drunk, it reflects on all the old soldiers. It Is true, however, there Is as small per cent of. drunkards among the old soldiers as there Is among any other body of men. We have about 400 members of the home and there is less drunkards or drinking men in that number than Jn any community of 400 inhabitants." Kew Corporations.
