Reevptlea to Bryan.
Details for the home-coming of Wm. J.
Bryan were arranged this afternoon so far
as possible at a meeting of the different
committees. The weloome home will be on
Wednesday, September 6. Mr. Bryan accord
ing to the present itinerary will not arrive
until late In the ' afternoon of that day
and there will be no elaborate parade as
was Intended. The exercises will take
place at the state capltol ground anil will
be In .the open. Governor Mickey will
deliver the address of welcome, to which
Mr. Bryan will respond. There will be
other addresses, but present plans do not
contemplate any speakers outside the state.
The reception will occur in the evening In
the capltol building, followed by night fire
works.' The business and residence parts
of the city will be elaborately eecorated
and a great crowd is expected from this
and other states.
Gortrnoe Uncertain A boat Conrse,
Governor Mickey f has not heard from
the members of the Board of Fire and
Folinoe commissioners of South Omaha and
neither has he taken any action in the
matter of the protest of Joseph Spells other
than to notify the members of the board of
the receipt of the protest.
The governor Is of he Impression the
police commission laws of Omaha and
South Omaha are. different In that he
believes he can Interfere at the latter place
while he cannot Interfere at Omaha. Today
he notified the legal department h would
(lie a written request for an opinion regard
ing hta authority both in Omaha and South
Omaha police affairs. Inasmuch as the
charter of Omaha gives the mayor author
ity to enforce the law, the governor believes
or pretends to believe he cannot Interfere
with the board there.
Until the written request Is filed for the
opinion Deputy Attorney General Thomp
son will not tell the governor what he ran
do, but under a hasty search of the two
charters the legal department is of the
opinion the governor - haa the right . of
removal not only in South Omaha but In
Omaha and this likely will be the formal
decision, notwithstanding the governor's
refusal to act some months ago. when the
Civic Federation was complaining that the
police board waa protecting lawless placet
In Omaha.

BLOOMFIELD. Neb.. Aug. 13. (Special.)
An unidentified man, supposed to be about
30 years of age, of sandy complexion, was
found lying in an unconscious condition
near the roadside about eleven miles north
east of town Saturday afternoon. The
mall carrier of route No, 1 had seen this
man along his route a number of times
during the past week, carrying a sack filled
with straw, Friday the carrier again pasted
him, but this time without the sack. When
asked what he had done with his sack he
answered: "I have lost it." The man
acted very strangely, and it was noticed
by the carrier that he was suffering from
a wound ln his head. On Saturday the
man was lying near the roadbed, wearing
only a pair of overalls, his shirt being
torn from his body, and an old sack was
thrown over his head to protect him from
the hot sun and flies. The city authori
ties were notified and on, Saturday even
ing he waa brought to the Kalar hospital.
