THK OMAHA DAILY HKK: MONDAY, APHLL 23. 1906. 7 POLITICIANS KEEP QUIET Stir Which EUrted When Oommitte Met Em Subsided for Present. BURKETT'S FRIENDS ARE UP IN THE AIR Take a Hand l Ills gnpnortera ! Sot Kiiw What Do. (From a Staff Correspondent.! LINCOLN, April 8. (Speclal.)-The utter absence of political activity at the stste house these days la In strange contrast lo the general activity of a few weeks ago. Immediately after the meeting of the state committee, at whlrh the time, for holding the atate convention was act for August 12, the atate officers who are candi dates for re-election let up on their atrenu iiul talks on politics and now everything is running along as though no convention was In sight. ' An impression which In some way gained considerable headway, to the effect that the state officers who wsnt to succeed them selves had made a combination with candi dates for other offices. Is denied by every one of the state officers. It Is true some time ago all of the state officers who are now running held a meeting and agreed to assist each other, but this agreement, they are now asserting. In no way affected a candidate for governor, state treasurer or United States senator. In fact, some of these officers have snid no Ironclad agreement wsa made that they would stand or fall together, bu the meeting, merely had for Its object an understanding, where It would not conflict, each officer was to throw out a helping hand to hla brother officer. It la freely discussed In Lincoln, and really believed, the outcome of the fight In Iowa over the nomination of a candidate for governor may have a direct bearing on the Nebraska fight. There is no ques tion but what Governor Mickey has become a possibility as a third term gubernatorial candidate, even though aome ef his friends are considering him aa a senatorial possl bll(ty. The fact that he Uvea south of the Platte may check any ambition Governor J Mickey may have In the senatorial dlrec Ion, but If Governor Cummins Is nominated for a third term Governor Mickey may re consider his declaration, given on the spur of the moment when the direct question was put to him, of returning- to the tall uncut when his term Is out. The. fact that he still continues to take "conversational" shots at the railroads every once In a while has led his friends to believe he will put nothing In the way of any movement which may tend to continue him In office, either here or at Washington. In other words. If "duty calls" the governor won't sidestep. Look I a a to Barkett. In the meantime hare In Lincoln there Is considerable disappointment among th friends of Senator Burkett because he i not helping along In political affairs, When Burkett defied the old-time ma- i nine In the Judicial convention here 3 year ago hla followers thought, of course, that meant ha waa going t o keep on doing things to the machine, but It aeema such Is not the case. The so-called machine has been going along the same aa for merly and there seems to have been no ef fort on the part of Burkett to organise against It and those who whooped it up for him in the late convention are corro spcndlngly cast down, for they have no loader. Mvnaortal to General Tkarer. - Memorial services were held today at St. Paul church In honor of the memory of the late General John M. Thayer. The principal address waa delivered by the Rev. Luther P. Ludden. Blgr School Apportionment.

April it (Specie lY-A law suit which has for almost a year been hard and bitterly fought here was con eluded In the district court before Judge If. M. Grimes Saturday. The suit Involved the title to 100 acres of land located In Buffalo county, a goodly portion of which was In alfalfa and the land Was fairly valuable.

Again were Cooley and his band destined to a trouncing and they got It at the hands of Pa's Colts Sunday afternoon at Vrnton Street park to the tune of $ to 0 before a goodly crowd. Base ball enthusiasm Is at a good point In this rlty and all It needs Is a good article of ball at the hands of the Western league to make the tana turn out. Dodge, the new recruit whom Rourke bought from the Chicago Nationals, surely delivered the goods In the five Innings he twirled yesterday afternoon. ITe Is a big. strapping fellow and has an abundance of speed aa well as all the other necessary elements whlrh go to make up a good pitcher. He walked but one man, strurk out six snd permitted the Cooleyltes no hits and no sco es; In fact, none of the gentlemen from Kansas got as far as sec ond. Hits on the part of Omaha were also scarce. The only players who got more than one were .Dolan and Perrlng, and they came unexpectedly. McGlnnla pitched a good game. The three runs made by Omaha In the second Inning were made by one hit and two errors. Again In the eighth the runs were made on two singles, an error and a bad throw. The newly made ground on Pa's infield was largely responsible for the errors made by Reagan, as the ball bounded badly.-'New dirt has been put all over the Infield to level It and a rain Is required to beat It down. Jay Andrews got one of the two hits made off Heusser. It was a corker, and with one of Omaha's fleet-footed Colts to run could have easily been a home run, but Jay Is getting old. The V nlon Pacific shop's team will play this afternoon. The score? OMAHA. AB. R. H. PO. A.

NEW YORK, AprHl 22. Theodore P. Shonts, chairman of the Panama Canal commission, who arrived from the Isth mus last night on the steamer Colon went to Washington this afternoon. In an Interview today Mr. Shonts spoke en thusiastically of the condition of affairs In the canal gone and highly praised the work of Chief Engineer Stevens. The effective working force on the canal April 1 numbered 17,631 persons. "Chief Engineer Stevens," satd the ca nal chairman, "has carried forward the preliminary work on the canal and the railroad with vigor. Many docks and railroad facilities have been completed and houses are ready for 1,000 more employes than are on the istmus. The work on the Culebra cut has been carried forward steadily. During March 210,000 cubic yards of material were moved with an average of ten and seven-tenths steam shovels working. By July or August It Is believed forty shovels will be In position to move 1.000,000 cubic yards a month. The actual cost, figuring In contractors' expenses for the work done In March was 63 Vs tents a ruble yard." Mr. Shonts met on the Isthmus, by ap pointment R. P. Schwerln, vice president and general manager of the Pacific Mall Steamship company, for conference rel tlve to the Interchange of trafflo between the Panama Railroad and Steamship line and the Pacific Mall company. Mr. Schwerln waa accompanied by other officials of his line, and a demon stration of the facilities of the Panama jallroad for handling traffic resulted In the settlement of all differences and an agreement to work in harmony In the Interest or the entire route. Mr. Shonts said there had been no congestion of freight on the Isthmus since December. 1 striatal Awakened. Interest awakened everywhere in the marvelous cure of Cuts.

The wedding will tuke place In a short time. Although this month was prescribed for gallery practice and aiming and mailt ing arllls, so much other work has Interwneti that the troops have hart but four days to get Instruction In gallery practice. The range Is now In complete order for filing next month, when tne real prellmin.:y work will commence, all troops using the new rifle. Captain A. B. Burlington, paymaster, paid the troops here on Thursday . The First battalion.

If the newspaper reports are correct about the condition of the troops at Fort Sheri dan., after making a practice march, It would be well for the War department to order that regiment out to some large post where they actually have some -nixing to do. The troops here have so much ex ercise jfiat they are continually In condi tion. This fact Is clearly shown by the march made by Company A, Twenty-fifth Infantry, the first week In April from WnrHi.iv Wv.. to Fort Wsshakle. between W and 100 miles. They were four days making the trip, and tne roads tne enure distance were muddy and snowy. Long marches were necessary each day to get the Command -where they could halt out of water for the night.

FAME OF SOLON BORGLUM New York Paper Describes His Kqnee- trlan Statne of General Gordon of Georgia. This item of an "Omaha boy" Is clipped from a New York paper: Solon Boralum has ertmpleted the model for a statue, heroic slae, of the late Gen eral Gordon, which Is to occupy a conspic uous site near the t-spltoi in Atlanta, ta. It shows the general mounted and watch ing a review. It was the wish at those, who provided the money for the statue to avoid the suggestion of war save aa it might be denoted in the wearing ot tne confederate uniform which the general never nut on attain after Lee's surrender. Gordon sits firmly, easily, the reins In his left hand, his hat In his right and his eyes looking off watchfully. The horse Is well planted on his reet, out animation is denoted In the awltch of the tall, the toss of the head, the champing of the bit and widening of the noBtril. The whole work has character, firm modeling, solid lines and simplicity and Is to be placed on a pedestal wnicn, annougn riftjoima son handsome, will be hut a little shove the ground. Most equestrian statues are perched on the top of two-story chimneys, where one dreads lest the horse make a step In either direction and come to the earth In pieces. An equestrian work of different character Is In process of com pletion by Mr. Horglum anil is to represent !'Bucky" O'Neill of the Bough Riders. 1 It will be placed at Prescott, Aril. In this the horse Is galloping and the figure is full of the earnestness of fight, yet- It Is not a flamboyant expression of war so much as it Is a portrait. The soldier no longer goes Into battle in full regimentals, with all the buttons and gold and lace his kit affords., but rough and tough, often ragged, and stripped to his work.
