(From a Buff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July tl. (Special.) The pecu
liar out com of the county convention held
here Wednesday has been the them of
tiwir pot mortem discussions In tha hotel
corridor and on the street comers than
any similar occasion In man? rear. Tha
explanations and gossip on both sides art
varied well aa Interesting1- That a con
vention ahould be thoroughly tinder the
contml of the Journal-'News-Brown com
bination to the extent of authorising Dr,
Wlnnett the privilege of naming the defe
gstes and Instructing them for Brown for
aenator, and later pledging the legislative
nominee to the candidate for aenator who
should receive the atate convention nom
ination, and then ehould not only vote
down an endorsement of Sheldon for gov
ernor, but sleo accept the machine nom
inee for county and legislative offices,
who the combine had virulently denounced
aa railroad tool, preaenta contradlctlona
hard for people to reconcile.
The explanation offered by the machine
champlone of Ludden la that aome of their
friends went back on them and the con
vention got away from their control, but
that they quickly ' gathered the piece to
gether again and aaved what they could,
in thla way nominating their friend for
the leglalature and alapplng Sheldon In
the face. On the other aide there are well
defined rumor of a deal between the Brown
crowd and the railroad machine, by which
the atate. delegation, which the former
wanted, was traded off for the legislative
delegation, which the railroad Inalsted on
controlling.
Combine Id Fall Control.
"It la lust aa plain a day," aald a man
who la not eipeclally Identified with either
ride, to a group In frcnt of the Llndell laat
night, "that the Journal-Newe-Brbwn com
bine could have named the whole ticket. If
they had wanted to. At any rate, they
could have given Sheldon the aame Inatruc
tlona that were given for Brown, and ought
to have done ao after having made Bhel
don'a candidacy parffcf the laaue and had
the benefit of the support of hi frlenda."
"You don't aeem to understand It,"
chimed In the Brown man. "Why ahould
we give Sheldon this delegation without
getting something In return for It? We
knew what we were doing. If Sheldon
wants any votes out of Lancaster county
for governor, he will have to put his Cass
county delegation In for Brown and for
Wlnnett. He will have to be good now,
whether he wants to or not."
"When do you think Wlnnett will name
the delegation?" aaked another member of
the party.
"Not until he gets good and ready." re
plied he. "Why should he put the dele
gates up now, to be solicited by other
candidates and subjected to all sorts of
pressure? The list will be prepared and
handed In to the convention without let
ting any one who la not on the delegation
know sooner than necessary."
Cbaaaro of Front.
"That may all be very well," waa the re
sponse. "I suppose you can do It, but that
Is Just the thing that the Journal, which
Is now such a -champion of Brown,- was
denouncing not long ago. . Don't you-remember
all those articles of Frank Harri
son's exposing the wickedness of vest
pocket delegation, carried around In secret
and delivered to the best bidder? I thought
he showed ths game up pretty strong at
the time about substituting names at the
last minute and putting the votes In the
bands of a self-constituted boss without
taking the people Into his confidence at
all."
"Well, whet do you expect In politics?"
Interjected snothcr man. "The Brown fel
lows are. playing this game to win. . Aa a
matter of fact, Norrle Brown was hlmaelf
authorised by the Buffalo county conven
tion to name the delegates from that
county, but, you notice, he has not named
them yet. If Norria Brown can carry hia
delegation around In hi vest pocket up
to the eve of the atate convention. I guess
Dr. Wlnnett esn do the same thing."
Judge Froat Finite Comment.
The prominence of Judge Lincoln Frost
In the campaign for Norris Brown Is ex
citing no little adverse criticism. Frost Is
a Judge on the bench, but the supposed
dignity of hV position is not keeping him
from mixing Into the ward politics. It Is
charged that he was not really elected as
a delegate to the county convention, but
waa counted In by the chairman of the
caucua reversing the vote of the two low
men, which waa 19 and 10. giving Froat
20 when he had really received only If.
"Thla posing of Judge Frost aa an antl
railroad man makes me tired," declared
one of the Burlington bosaea. "Everybody
kr.owa that he owea hla position on the
bench to the people he la now denouncing
aa railroad toola and pasa hunter. Frost
Is1 the particular beneficiary of Bud Lind
say, who ajona Is responsible Tor hie orig
inal nornlnetloo ta fill a vacancy oo the
beoch. and. hie renomjnatlon waa secured
from car fellow, who were good enough
for htm then. It la notorious that be has
need more free transportation since be
went on tha bench than any other Judge.
He had at least three annuals last year
ta try personal knowledge and used them
every time be got a chance. He used them
after the stats convention's pronouncement
against free paasea laat year, too. It Is
possible he did not get any this year, or
turned them back, bat If so It Is only since
last January he has quit hla free pass
habit. I think his political antics, and of
Judge Holmes, too, will cause a reaction
against Judges In politics here, and their
nee of tha Judicial position to promote their
political aspirations. Judge Frost's at
tacks on Bud Lindsay and Elmer Steven
son are Just like a man kicking down the
ladder on which he had cltmed up."
Senator Burkett Unlet.
Another topie of discussion Is the position
of Senator Burkett In the present conten
tion. Senator Burkett was here, but kept
out of the county convention this time, al
though last year he waa a delegate and
presided over Its deliberations. He Is giv
ing It out that he Is keeping neutral on
tha senatorshlp. Senator Burkett has ar
ranged a series of lecture dates at chau
tauquas and similar meetings, which will
carry him away for several weeks. A close
friend of Senator Burkett's said the other
day that this waa the only thing he could
do; that he waa under obligations to some
of the people backing Brown, but that he
could not afford to be put In a poaltlon of
engaging In a movement to array the atate
against Omaha, because at the next term
the Omaha people would be Justified In or
ganising the state sgalnst Lincoln to shut
the door sgalnst his re-election.
So far aa convention nomination Is con
cerned, the Lincoln politicians are mostly
against It. "Our folks had no business to
endorse anybody for United Btatea sen
ator," said one of them. "It does not do
us any good to have a senator made in a
stats convention. A deadlock like the one
we had six years ago would be worth
thousands of dollars to our people. It
brought thousands of vtattora to Lincoln,
who had to put up good money for hotel
accommodation and other thlnga. A good
fight In the leglalature means dollars to
Lincoln hotel keepers and merchants, to
say nothing of the political retainers. This
choice by the people Isn't In It with choice
by the legislature, so far aa the Interest
of Lincoln are concerned.'

A largely attended meeting of represen
tativea of independent telephone com-
panlea waa held In thla ctty yeaterday
and an organisation of the Fifth diatrlct
Of the Nebraska Independent Telephone
association waa perfected. The district
comprises the counties of Thayer, Jeffer

The session was devoted to discussing
matter of Intereat to Independent tele
phone companies, and methoda of extend
ing the buelneaa and making the service
more perfect. The following offlcere wero
elected for the coming year: President,
C W. Bartlett, Jr., Falrburyi vice presl

The following resolutions were adopted
at the meeting: ,
The fifth diatrlct of the Nebraska Inde
pendent Telephone association, in con
ventlon sesembled. reDresentlne more
than 17,000 telephones, and representing
more . man ix.uov.uuu invested in me tale

solicitude watched the unequal atrgrem
going on between the independent tele
phone people seeking permission to com-
"pete for nuslneaa in the great city of
Omaha, and the Bell monopoly, which has
so long enjoyea uninterrupted ana ex
clusive dominion over that territory: and,
Whereas, Except for the competitive
effort of the independent people el nee th,
expiration of the Bell patents (Judging
from the number of telephones Installed
by the. monopoly during the seventeen
years of uninterrupted control) there
would not be today one million tele
phones in use in the United States, where
as there ere now, all told, over 6,000,000
a the result of competition, although
that competition has been restricted by
the use of enormous sums of money in
the hands of the monopoly, which by
false representations has enlisted the
services of good, but deluded people; and.
Whereas, The people and the interests
which we represent are clamoroua for In
dependent connection with Omaha, now
dominated and controlled by the monopoly,
which has so long retarded the progress
of this country to their own selAsh par
pokes and to the detriment and. injury
thereof, we deem It our duty to go on
record lh opposition to the monopolistic
power aa exemplified in the Bell Telephone
company and lta methoda; therefore, be
it
Reaolved, That we deeply aympathlxe
with every effort to establish an excnant,j
and Independent telephone connections by
Independent long distance wirea In the
city cf Omaha which la now contro"
exclusively by the tell monopoly, and to
proffer such aid and counsel as we may
to encourage and strengthen those who
are making efforts to gain an entrance
therein.

the district were represented at the meet

BOrVPD NOT LIKELY TO MAKE CHANGES
Rnlo Have Done Their Work
Remarkably Well This
. Year,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 21. (Special.) The
State Board of Equalisation held a short
session this morning and adjourned until
Monday morning, at which time the Doug
las county assessment will be taken up.
Lincoln merchanta, laboring under the In
fluence of newapapers . which pretend to
think Omaha and Lincoln are business
rivals, have dug up Information regarding
the Omaha assessment of merchandise
and tt is now said they will make a show
ing before the board to get Douglaa county
Increased. At the same . time It la not
unlikely County Aaaesaor ailller of Lan
caster county may go before the board to
get some Lancaster property Increased,
ss the county board chopped down a good
many of his values over his vigorous
protests.
However, It Is almost a waste of time
and money for any one to appear before
the state board asking for a decrease or
Increase In any assessment, as the board
Is of the opinion the county sssessors
have done a aplendld Job and there will
be few changes made and no material
changes unless a farther analysis of the
abstracts of assessment shows greater
discrepancies In the work of the asseesors
than la npw apparent.
Though the railroads ask either a re
duction In their own assessment or an
increase In the assessment of lands,
board membera feel certain the roada filed
their protesta merely to be consistent
with their fofmer action in this state.
It Is not Improbable some Items In a few
of the counties will be Increased, as there
Is some discrepancy, but the Increaae will
be alight. In some counties cattle are
much higher than In others, but thla la
explained by reason of the fact assessors
were Instructed to list cattle of all ages
so this could materially reduce the aver
age value where a lot of young cattle
have been assessed.
Too Much Money for Result.
County Treasurer Examiners Tulleya and
Robinson are of the opinion the people of
the various counties of the state are pay
ing too much money for the repair of
roada and getting too little in return. At
this t'me they are ' working on a table
of statistics to bear out this belief. , In
one county under the present system, Mr.
Tulleys said, $100,000 had been apent In four
years and yet the roads were no better
than In any other county. The people
of that county would never have voted
that amount of money for the repair of
roads, but It had been spent Just the aame,
exclusive of what had been spent for
bridges.
Theee two official are of the opinion It
would be better for the counting ond
cheaper for the taxpayera were a road
overaeer elected for each county commis
sioner district to be paid a good salary, In
return for which he should be held re
sponsible for the roads.
'Enough money haa been spent on the
rosds of Nebraeks," said Mr. Tulleys, "to
make them the best roads In the country,
but for some reason such Is not the rase
by any means. We are looklnn up sta
tistics on the rosd question and while
wa have not gone very far Into the propo
sition we have secured enough Information
to surprise, the taxpayera and to ahow
that the present system, of looking after
the roada la not what it ahould be."
Bnrglar Proof Vanlt Wanted.
Insurance Deputy Pierce wanta a burg
lar-fire proof vault In the audltor'a office
ao he can atore away the securities de
posited by Insursnce companies. L'nder
the present wa of doing business Mr.
Pierce keeps these securities, now amount
ing to more th..n $1,000,000, In a safety de
posit bsnk and when ,any one' desires to
look up a security Mr. Pierce haa to inako
a trip down town to show the goods. He
mskes this trip on sn average of three
times a day. Under the present arrange
ments the -state has to pay about $25 a
year for rent for the box in the bank.
It may be this can be avoided after the
next legislsture by the passage of a law
compelling Insurance eompanlea to nay
26 centa when they make a deposit of
aocurltiea.
