LINCOLN. April 2. (Special.) Oeorge
W. Berg ha returned from Excelsior
Spring, where ha and hi family spent
th laat few week, and h will now enter
actively upon hla campaign to be the demo
cratic nomine for itovernor of the slate.
Last night Mr. Berge aald:
"I am a candidate for governor, and not
for attorney general. If I am not nomi
nated for governor 1 will not accept a
nomination for any other place on the
ticket. I rhall Issue within a few day
ststement regarding my position and whnt
1 think Should go Into the democratic plat
form." leading democrat are somewhat at sea
juat at this time and the result may be
Rerge will get a considerable following
which haa not yet been counted upon for
him. fn view of the fact that the demo
cratic paper at Bcrlbner, which has been
very much In favor of the candidacy of
A. C. flhsllanberger for governor, haa come
out now for O. M. Hitchcock for inator
and for Berge for attorney general, a
number of democrata are of the belief that
Hitchcock and flhallanberger have made a
tieup and the talk of making Berge at
torney general ha emanated from the office
. of the World-Herald in order to help out
Shallanberger.
If future events demonstrate this la true
Mr. Berge will come In for a good share
of the support of the followers of Mr.
Bryan, who are not favorably Impressed
with Shallanberger nor In favor of the
Omaha man for senator. Friends of Berge
are feeling good now because of the mis
takes of his opponents. Inasmuch an they
lalm he could be fought only on the
ground that he haa alwaya been a populist,
they hold now h cannot be objected to on
thla ground because a great number of the
democratic paper a well aa democratic
politicians are willing and anxlou to nomi
nate him for attorney general.
View of Berae' Friends.
A friend of Berge figured out hi chance
In thla manner:
'' view of the campaign made 'by Berge
Mit year he I recognised a an iintl
corporation man. Should the democratic,
convention turn him down the sentiment
throughout the state will be the conven-'
lion has taken a man who can secure the
railroad support. This would be the case
whether It is true or not. Then, should
tlip republican nominate a man who is
icci gn r'd as an nntl-corporatlon candidate,
the tlrinociats would have no chance-at
n!l. On the other hand. If Berge Is nomi
nated V th democrat the railroads will
move l.e.ivcri nnd earth to nominate the
anOidne for the republicans and thus
serine candidate upon whom they can
rely. Te cdluni of corporation taint, con
sequently, would rest upon the republican
card. daf. In that case Berge could be
elected, because the people of Nebraska
1 hi year will not elect a corporation candi
date on any ticket."
A leading democrat who haa always op
puted tiers said last night upon such
argument Petge may be able to bluff the
democratic convention Into nominating him. '

a few other things, has put the democrats
up In the air.
Ilcluiont Car l.lne In l.luie Light.
After years of neglect, Lincoln haa finally
turned Its attention to It original street
car line, which connect the city with the
thriving little village of Belmont. Thla
line consist of a car and two mules, which
aettled In Lincoln at.tbc same time Stanley
Wleks struck the town and R. II. McDon
ald became night clerk at the Llndell.
These mules naturally have become a little
threadbare and th effects of the hand of
time Is plainly visible. It la the condition
of these ancient landmark which ha
called attention to th Belmont line. An
officer of the Humane aoclety ha filed a
complaint against I. L. Lyman, the cor
poration owning the line and th franchise,
charging him with treating the motive
power of hia concern In a cruel manner.
It I charged In the officer complaint
that the aide of the mule are badly worn
and, further, they are not properly fed
and cared for, and great patches of hair
hav been worn off their aide and flue

not deny his mule are not fat, but he
claim mule rarely are fat. He claima
also he feds th mutes on th beat th

to be a fact th mule have never gone
on a strlk or run away, and, ao far a

Saloon License Granted.
URAND ISLAND. Neb., April Is.-tSpe-clal.)
At 4 o'clock yesterday morning,
after an all-night session, the city coun
cil, by unanimous vote In each case, over
ruled the remonstrances filed against all
of the saloonkeepers In Grand Island and
granted licenses. In only on caae was
notice of appeal given, that of Henry
Hann, owner, of Hann'a park, who re
fused to make appearance by an attor
ney, and wa Indifferent a to Whether
he secured a license or not. The remon
strances were brought through the efforts
of the Anti-Saloon league of the state,
which sent agents to secure the evidence
some time ago. A weak feature of the
case, admitted to be such by the attorney
for the league, was the testimony of
William Chambers, a Grand Island college
student, who testified that he weighed 145
pounds, continually wore glasses, was bald
on both sides of the forehesd, had a pretty
heavy beard and waa five feet eight Inches
in height, and had been selected out of
seventy-five young men at the Grand Island
college to go about from place to place
In th city, buy a half pint of whisky
and bring In the evidence ns a violation
on the part of the saloon man of the law.
Chambers would b taken anywhere to
be anywhere from 22 to 25 years of age.
At no place did he give any Indication
of the fact that he Was not of age, and
these facts led to a severe attack on the
part of the attorney for the saloon men
upon the methods employed to secure the
evidence necessary to sustain a re
monstrance. On the Sunday opening
charge the evidence wa more substantial,
but appears to have been set aside by the
technicalities plead by attorneys that the
saloons were not sufficiently located, or
It had not been sufficiently shown that
licenses were issued to th Same appli
cants lt year. General opinion seems
to sustain the action of the council, but
not the excesses It Is generally reported
are at times permitted by three or four
of the saloons, and the action of the city
authorities does by no means Indicate that
still more liberties can be taken.

He announced the hymns and led In

strength of which surprised those who
have been In attendance upon him.
Dcnli Alt Charges.
He prefaced his sermon by a spirited
denial of the charges that have been
brought against him in the course of which
he exhibited much of the fiery Impatience
which marked his discourse In times past.
"They say I've taken the people's money,
do they?" he shouted. Answers of "Yes"
and "No." came from different parts of the
sudlence. A man In the rear more persis
tent than others was singled out by Dowie.
Pointing a trembling ringer at the man
Dowie continued:
"Iet the man stand up and give his
name. Let him tell what money I took and
when." With all eyes focoused upon him
the man shrank In his seat. A guard was
ordered to compel him to stand, but he
stood In shame-faced silence. Then it was
that Dowie rose to his feet and demanded
that any of those present who had any
thing to charge against him to do so then
and there.
Tribute to Mr. Dovrle.

scribed the sorrow he felt upon receiving
the news while In Mexico of the revolt
among his people. He described that he
could not sleep until he had learned the
worst, and that his cup of grief was full
when tie found that his wife and son had
deserted him. Then he paid a tribute to
Mrs. Dowie. "My wife has some noble
qualities." he said. "She was misled and
Imposed upon. They used her until they
were through with her and then cast her
aside. My son played tricks upon me which
he ought not to have done, but he, too. was
deceived."

tabernacle at 6:30 this morning, when he
conducted a prayer and praise service.

ELEVEN DAYS' WORK
(Continued from Firat Page.)
to speedily forget the recent disaster was
the resumption of the Sunday afternoon
concerts In Golden tiata park. These con
certs have always been a Sunday feature
In San Francisco, and In addition to the
excellent program given In the big park,
a volunteer band discoursed music for a
short time in the "tented city" at Jeffer
son square.
Car Service Extended.
There were some extensions In the elec
tric car service snd the people in the re
mote suburbs will tomorrow be sfforded
quick transportation to the water front
and points In the burned district where
they may be obliged to labor.
The city officials were highly elsted today
upon finding the contents of the municipal
treasury Intact. The vaults were located
In a section of tha city hall that escaped
the fire, and when an expert opened the
doors this morning he found gold, silver
and securities scattered over the floor,
but there was nothing missing. The vsult
contained I5.9i0.000 In coin snd currency,
$300,000 In securities of the German Savings
bank and tl2.0U0.0OU of unsold city bonds.
Shipping Is beginning to resume Its nor
mal course. There were a number of de
parturea of steamers todsy and several ar
rivals, the latter bringing provisions.
The steamer lmur arrived from Victoria,
B. C, with 600 tons of provisions given
by the people of British Columbia and the
cargo was admitted duty free.
Art Treasures Destroyed.
One loss that csn never be replaced Is t lie
destruction of art galleries and libraries.
Over a million volumes and thousands of
canvasses were burned. The most valuable
paintings In the Mark Hopkins Institute
were cut from the flames and carted to
Oakland as the conflagration approached,
but a large part of Its picture and marble
which were taken Into the yard of th
Flood mansion across the street were
utterly ruined. The most complete destruc
tion of works of art and articles of value
occurred In the private residences whose
owners were forced to flee at some sudden
turn of the fire. Some of these contained
galleries of single pictures unique and un
equalled elsewhere In the world. In the
Crocker residence, for Instance, Millet's
famous painting, "The Man with the Hoe.'
was consumed. In downtown art stores
many valuable canvasses were burned, the
accumulation of years.
Local artists, many of whom had their
studios along Montgomery street, were
burned out at the first onset of the con
flagration, and the studios further uptown
began to go one by one, each with its
treasure of pictures. Hundreds of Keith's
and Charles Rollo Peters' compositions are
lost and the whole colony ot Ban Francisco
artists and connoisseurs are great sufferers.
Even the earthquake caused some damage
and some of the most valusble pieces of
statuary In the city were shattered.
Will send Two Regiments.
WASHINGTON, April 29. Only two regi
ments of troops, comprising In all about
1.350 men, will be sent to San Francisco to
reinforce those there, Instead ot 2.500 men
as originally proposed by General Greely
and sanctioned by the War department. The
troops . to go are the First cavalry from
Fort Clark and Fort Sam Houston, Tex.,
and the infantry regiment from Fort D. A.
Russell, Wyo. A telegram asking that only
the reduced number be aent was received at
the War department today, and ordera to
that effect were promptly Issued. Th re
mainder of the troops originally directed
to proceed to San Francisco have been or
dered not to move until further orders. Th
war office officials decline to discuss th
ressons for General Greely's request, but
the Impression given Is that It Is due to a
wish of the citlxens' committee of San
Francisco not to have the government Incur
the expense due to their transportation, so
that the money may he available for relief
work instead. The transportation charge
for the men probably would have aggre
gated more than Uuo.ouo, which can be spent
in buying rstlons snd other necessities for
the stricken people.

Sitting by niy open window, I distinctly
bear the grass moan. This Is an old joke'
among minstrels, but I believe It has never

Hsve you ever observed grass?
It is very Intelligent. Two blades of
grass may be made to grow where one
grew before, and do other tricks hardly
less surprising.
Some say grass hss no sensibilities. They
are wrong. Orse which a pretty girl haa
sat on sometimes doesn't get over It for
a week. W do not blme It.
In the Bible grass is likened to the flesh
which tomorrow Is cast into the oven. Tills

grass Is undoubtedly tough.
There are wild grasses and tame grasses.
One has to Ir wary in studying wild
grasses, as they sre extremely shy Puck.
