Wheeler 1 Tork 13 Jeesen Oat for Conarreaa. It waa reported In Lincoln today that Judge Paul Jeesen of Otoe county had announced his candidacy for the republican, nomination for congress In opposition to Ernest M. Pollard, present congressman and candidate for re-election. "According to friends rf Judge Jessen In Lincoln, he waa Induced to announce hlmaelf by the sud den turn of affairs since the publication of the stories that Congressman Pollard had drawn salary for a period of time previous to his election aa a member of congress. There la no question but whst number of the Pollard delegatea In Lan caster county will refuse to stand by the Instructions of the Lancaster county convention, but will either get off of the delegation or vote for someone else for he congressional convention. Some of Pollnrd a friends. Including the Journal, are asserting ha waa Justified In taking me salary because such a precedent had been established. His opponents and other. however, criticise Mr. Pollard severely and ay that aa he was elected as a reformer, he should have been the man to have smashed such precedents. Berg Followers Jaallaat. Berg democrats In Lincoln are rejoicing today over the outcome of the Platte county convention yesterday, which endorsed Mr. Berge for the democratic nomination for governor. On the other hand, those who oppose Berge merely say It was a slap at Edgar Howard and the convention cared nothing about Berge. Berge now Intends to put up a fight In Otoe county, snd if that Instructs for him his friends assert he will get the nomination without any more op position. One of the principal backers of the Berge candidacy said last night: "A few of the so-called leadera of the democratic party are fighting Berge on the ground thai he Is a populist. The fight In Platte county forever puts an end to that opposition. Platte county Is the hotbed of democracy In this state. The remit of that convention practically ends the con test and Mr. Berge will be the nominee of the democratic party. "Hitchcock will try bis best to name Bhallengerger, but he will fall, and with his failure there his chance to be Vnlted States senator, even if the democrats control the legislature, is gone glimmering. In fact, there Is no opposition to Berge except by a half doeen would-be leaders who can do nothing with the uprising among the rank and file of the democratic party for Berge." Pallmaa Assessment. The attention of the next legislature will be directed to the law which governs the assessment of the Pullman Car company In Nebraska. Attorney General Brown, upon the request of Tom Benton, the Pullman representative here, told the Board of As sessment, when that body wanted to In crease the assessment, that under the law It would be Impossible for It to so do. Every member of the board expressed a desire to Increase the assessment of the Pullman company and Treasurer Mortonren and Governor Mickey wanted to do so even after Mr. Brown had told them the law did not permit It. Mr. Mortensen and the governor wanted to double the assessment of the Pullman com pany by adding the franchise value Instead of Just assessing It upon the dead physical property. Both held that the' railroads were assessed that way and that it was legal to assess the franchise of the Pullman com pany. Tom Benton at once sent for the attorney general and Mr. Brown sided with the Pullman representative. That Tom Benton, the Pullman lobbyist, then became the ardent supporter of Mr. Brown for Vnlted States senator and as sisted him In getting Lancaster county, ac cording to Mr. Brown'a friends. Is of no significance. In the meantime Mr. Mortensen. though still believing the board has a right to as sess the Pullman company on Its franchise value, believes If the law Is not right the next legislature should amend It so the Pullman company could be assessed at something near the value of Its property In Nebraska. t First Car oa laterarbaa. The Interurban company this morning received Its first car and It was formally received Into the city by General Manager Hurd, who smashed a bottle of good rich win over Its side after which H. H. Wil son, attorney for the company, made a short address In which he told of the diffi culties which the company had overcome. The car will be tested and will be used In a few days to carry passenger to the Bethany assembly. Capital Briefs.

Dr. Singer will go to Norfolk tomorrow to assume his duties. Dr. Toung will not go there until Dr. Alden has been ousted. Dr. B. F. Bailey was thla morning ap pointed a member of the penitentiary board to suoceed Dr. W. T. Johnuon of Pawnea City.

Why Pabst Malt Is The Perfect Malt Mm PABST has proven by scientific experiment nd aixtv vrar of practical brewing that eight days are required in making malt to bring shout those necessary chemical changes by which the perfect preligested malt is produced. In many breweries the old four-day process is still used and the malt is of forced, unnatural development. It lacks in nutrition and is in all ways inferior, much of the vital nutriment of the grain being lost. Beer brewed from Fahst eight-day malt retains in predigested form all of the nutritious life-giving elements of the grain. It is the exclusive Pabst method of brew ing with Pabst eight-day malt that makes Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer superior as a nourishing tonic and a delicious beverage. When ordering Beer, call for Pabst.
