(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Sept. . (Special.) The State
Board of Public Lands and Buildings and
Superintendent Kearn of the Hastings
asylum are having trouble over the con
struction of food elevator and the in
stallation of engines at the Hasting
asylum, and on the face of it the matter
looks queer. While the records of . the
board fall to disclose the fact, Earl Wee
cott haa the contract for something like
18.400. The material Is on hand with which
to do the work, but It is held up by mem
bers of the board, as the material and
engines do not come up to the specification.
This contract was Supposed to have been
let first to Howard Burns, son of . Joe
Burns, along, with other work at the In
stitution. Burns concluded his contract
did not call for the food elevators and so.
he waa released. The bids, though they
cannot be located and Chairman Eaton of
the board, professes Ignorance of the
matter, are said to have varied from $2,100
to W.5n9. After Burns got out of the con
tract the matter was left to Dr. Kearn to
let the contract. The Mollne company filed
a bid and later withdrew It and then the
work was given over to Weseott and at
the state house It Is said Weseott secured
his material from the Mollne company. .
Dr. Kearn and Governor Mickey had a
long consultation about the matter yester
day, but no information waa secured from
either of. them. Chairman Eaton was
asked why the board had let the contract
for 15,400, when the original contract called
for about $1,900. He replied:
"I know nothing about the matter. The
board referred everything to Dr. Kearn
and I guess everything Is all right."
Mr. Eaton then hustled for the office of
Secretary of State Galusha.
i It Is understood Governor Mickey will not
permit the use of the material now at the
Institution and the work has been stopped.
Traable for Hlashaw.
A report of reliable origin reached
Lincoln today of a transaction in which
Congressman Hlnshaw was the principal.
which will rise up during the campaign to
seriously embarrass that gentleman's con
gressional committee, unless the story can
be successfully refuted. It is told that
Congressman Hinshaw franked his automo
bile from Washington to Falrbury, under
the frank of Thomas C. Piatt, president of
the United States . Express company and
United States senstor from New Tork.
This transaction occurred shortly after the
state convention of last year, which went
on record as opposed to free passes of all
descriptions and which caused the state of
ficers, except Secretary of Stat. Galusha,
to return all passes and franks of whatever
description.

Since the Douglaa county primaries, seventy-three
candidates out of 100 for the
house and twenty-two candidates out of
thirty-three for the senate have been named
by Nebraska republicans. Th. final line
up cannot be known until October $. when
the Sixty-seventh district republican con
vention la to be held at Wauneta to select
a candidate for representative.
Members of the house from Douglas
county In th. resslon of 1906 have been
more fortunate than their associates, as
outside of this county but, ten members
have been renominated and one ot them.
Representative Engstrom of Phelpa county,
refused to make the race.
Th. renomlnatlon of all senators from
Douglas county makes six members of
that branch who have been renominated.

as rapidly as republicans, only sixty-five
candldatea for the house and eighteen for
the aenat. having been named. So far they
have not renominated a member of the
last legislature In either branch.
RKPIBLICA" HARMON T IN ANTELOPB
Dr. Wj O. Fletcher ot Orchard Naaied
for Represeatatlve.
NELIOH. Neb., Sept. 19.-(Speclal Tele,
gram.) The Antelope county republican
convention, held here today, was a har
monious gathering with all sections of the
county represented. Dr. W. G. Fletcher of
Orchard was nominated for representative
on the first ballot and before ita conclu
sion his selection wss made unanimous by
acclamation. He thanked the convention
and said that If elected he would carry out
the wishes of the people; that he had not
applied for a pass, received one or rode on
one; that it he went to Lincoln he would
pay hla fare and it would remain paid;
further, that the pass system waa an evil
and he was opposed to and would vote
against It. No candidate for' county at
torney was placed In nomination, but the
central committee waa empowered to place
one on the ticket," Thla result was brought
about by the declination of the different
attorneys to accept the position owing to
the fact that private business would neces
sarily occupy their full attention. . .
The resolutions adopted reaffirmed the
state and congressional platforms and
pledged support to the state, congressional
and legislative ticket. Th. candidate for
representative Is a bright, clean young
man, very popular and his election ap
pears a foregone conclusion. There are
no dissensions In the "party.
