LINCOLN, ept. 29 (Special.) 1 ha county
campnlgn will open here Oct.-ibr I. at

filch ha th meeting In charge. Is adver
tising extensively and It la expected the
llver will he nllnd. .Immediately after this
.ntetlng local candidates will take the stump
and every schoolhouse In the county will
have at least one meeting-. Captain P. J.
Coegrov. at present police Judge, will de
liver twenty speeches in the county before
the election. Judge Cosgrove la recognized
aa one of the beat speakers In the at ate and
ill draw a big crowd .whererer he talk.
II la to be the bla; (fun for the county com
mittee. Two years aa-o two names were
submitted to the national committee, from
Lincoln as) available speakers for the na
tional campaign. Judge Co grove was one
nd II. II. Wilson the other.
The campaign In 1-e.nraaler this year la
going to be a hot one for the reason the
democrat are trying their best to land the
county attorney and one, and possibly two,
places on the legislative ticket. The dem
ocrats are laboring under the belief that
considerable scratching Is going to be done
by the republicans over the trade In the
county convention, and Just at this time the
' prohibitionists are causing considerable un
easiness to both parties. All the candidates,
or at least a number of them, have been
called upon the carpet and asked to pledge
themselves to the county option bill. What
answers have been made no one on the out
side aeema to know. Candldatea Inte'vlewed
aay they have made no pledgee to the pro
hibitionists. Tills party hoe quite an or
ganisation In tAe county this year and Is
dally receiving pledges from among Its
members that they will not vote for a can
didate who la not pledged to vote for the
county option bill.
The democrats also are trying to atlr up
atrlfe among the republlcane and to thla
end are pointing to the fact that the Even
ing News, the spokesman for the fake re
former has had little or nothing to aay In
favor of the Burlington machine candl
datea for the legislature. They are trying
to get the machine candidates to bolt the
fake reform machine's two candldatea In re
taliation. Republicans, however, say they
Will be united and will, as usual, elect all
the officers.
Officials Take In Carnival.
Auditor Bearle and Secretary or State
Oaluaha returned tonight from Omaha,
where they looked at the carnival and s:iw
things. Both were greatly disappointed
that tha high wind prevented the air ship
from taking Ita dally flight and will go
again to the show before It la over.
"The carnival this year looks bigger than
It. ever did to me." said Mr. Searle. "The
streets were well filled and the people I saw
asvere not Omaha cltliens, but were from
eCiit In the atate. If the weather keeps good
1 should think the attendance will be a
record breaker, as it was at the state fair.
I understand the shows on the carnival
grounda are the best ever, but owing to
.. the fact that the air ahlp did not made Its
trip 1 did not go on' the grounda."

Teachers for Knelling Reform.
While no formal action waa taken, Lan
caster county teachers are In favor of
spelling reform. When Mlsa Ada . Wolfe

house this morning, she made the state
ment that if the newspapers would give
authority to reformed spelling by publish
ing each word that came ' properly under
this head people everywhere would soon
adopt It, because the press la the moat
powerful factor in molding public opinion.
The words of Mlsa Wolfe apparently met
with the moat hearty Indorsement from
more than a hundred Instructors present.

selves while the two delegates from
Loup voted for a Loup county man. After
the deadlock had continued until mid
night with each candidate voting for
himself one of the delegatea from Loup
county voted for Freeland, and the other
failed to vote, giving Freeland a majority
of the votea. Freeland was thua declared
the nominee, which he aecured by one vote
besides hla own. The nominee made a
speech pledging himself for Thompson
for United Statea aenator and agreeing to
vote for a 2-cent passenger rate and for
abolition of passes. '

CANDIDATES SPEAK AT GRAND ISLAND
Attorney General Revlewa History of
Railroad Assessments and Rldl
nlea Democratic Clalma to
Having; lapported Roosevelt.
GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Sept. 2.-(Speclal
Telegram.) The republicans of Hall county
had a rousing convention today, nominating
E. O. White, a farmer, and A. L. Scudder
of Doniphan aa candidates for , represen
tatives and AJ C. Mayer, aa candidate for
county attorney. The convention waa later
addressed by Hon. George L. Sheldon, Hon.
Norria Brown and candldatea Junkin and
Williams.
Mr. Sheldon addressed himself largely to
national Issues and the relation of material
welfare to political policies. He also dwelt
on the extortionate profits the railroad cor
poration took from both the produce and
consumers In Nebraska, Hla facta and
figures showing the relstive profit of th
roads In Iowa and Kansaa aa compared
with Nebraska were a revelation to many
In the audience. His exposition of the
comparative Increase of tsxation were
likewise subjects, which It waa plainly
evident were given the most careful at
tention by the delegatea, a large number of
whom were farmers. He concluded by
pleading with the people of Hall county
to be freed men In every sense of the
word, emphasizing the necessity therefor
by stating that Nebraska wss the only
state In the central west, which had no
effective law controlling the common
carrier corporation.
Hon. Norria Brown addressed himself
to the local situation largely and de
clared that Mr. Thompson was an excellent
cltlxen and would. If elected, diligently and
earnestly try to carry out democratic
principles, but able aa he was he could
not succeed In finding out what these prin
ciples really were. The republican plat
form this year meant a square deal, and
he would never plead with his neighbors In
Buffalo county to vote for him with the
expectations of getting a discrimination In
rates ss against any other city In the
state. He directed attention to the charge
In a Grand Island fusion paper that the
republican party was not sincere In ita
declarations against railroad domination,
because It had never attempted to enforce
any law. Mr. Brown took up the entire
history of the assessment of railroad prop
erties under the new law, and It ia aald
by those who have followed his speeches
In other parts of the atate that It was
the strongest and bent and clearest review
of the entire negotiations that has yet
been made. He also reviewed the efforts
of President Roosevelt In- securing rate
regulation, told how the president waa the
prime spirit in the great record of the
last congress and how he received demo
cratic support only when It became known
that the measures would pass without their
supjort. Democrats were pleading to re
publicans of Nebraska today to send demo
crats to Washington to help Roosevelt out.
What they really meant was to help
Rooaevelt out of power to continue hia
great loyal service to hla country. Did
republicana want to do it?
pandldates Williams for commissioner
and Junkin for secretary of state also
addressed the convention and were heartily
received. Candidate Brian for treasurer
arrived Just as the convention closed, hla
train being late.
Plea for Roaewatera Policies.
NIOBARA, Neb., Sept. 29. (Special Tele,
gram.) The republican representative con
vention for the Twentieth district -nomi
nated George W. Saunders of Baxlle Mills.
A resolution wan adopted, . deploring the
death of Edward Rosewater. M. T. Port's
record In the last legislature waa endorsed,
The platform adopted was general In
character.
E. A. Fry addressed the convention, en
deavoring to get more definite resolutions
passed. He said If the. convention waa
sincere In its opinion, of Rosewater It would
pledge Its candidate to the policies for
which he fought - and the planks of the
platform would also define hla position as
to Norrls Brown's candidacy. Fry reminded
the convention that he stood for Rose
water'a policies year ago and he demanded
mat ir tne convention did not name a
man who could b trusted the resolution
should be withdraws.
Saunders, who was nominated, waa ap
pointed agent several 'years ago at Santee
Agency and afterwards succeeded to Its
superintendence, but President Roosevelt
refused to allow him to remain because of
civil service regulations. Senator Millard
attempted to retain him. but without avail.

HEW KSGISE ECONOMIZES POWER
Expert In Breeding Corn Is Patenting;
a Rotary Steam Engine.
FREMONT. Nab., Sept. zt.-(Speclal.)-J.
M. Maher, a farmer living northwest
of this dry. has taken oat a caveat on
an application for a patent for a rotary
steam engine which those' Interested In
such things consider a remarkable pleee
of machlner)'. It doea away entirely with
the rotary cut-off valve, thereby greatly
Increasing the available power and Is sim
ple In Its operation. From tests made with
the model which he ha built Mr. Maher
clalma W per cent of the expansive force
of the steam Is available for furnishing
power, while In the ordinary steam engine
on account of the valve and cut-off con
nections only 10 per cent can be ao used,
malting It the most economical form of
engine that has been made. Mr. Maher
haa spent much time for many yeara In
breeding different varieties of corn and
small grain, his work in that line having
received much attention from the federal
Department of Agriculture and from agri
cultural experts, but he says h has also
been figuring on some plan to overcome
the waste of power In steam engines and
thinks he ha solved the problem with hla
new Invention.
