LINCOLN. Nov. 17.wPpoelal.i-Governor-elect
George L. Bhf ldon will make no up
polntments until after ho l Inaugurated
and will not until he has thoroughly rrk'-l
Into the details of his ofl"c. Mr. Sheldon
haa mnilo no pledges to anyone so far as
appointment are concerned and rn rit
rather than political pull will decide the
perecnno.1 of Ms administration.
Neither will the nw governor ur the
hi stick many would like for him to
ur; It. Mr. Sheldon lias absolute con
fidence In the Incoming legislature and h"
expects to work along with that body,
ach. however, performing his spccinl
function. The suggestion that the new
governor place his approval on certain
bills to prevent a, multiplicity of bills
being Introduced resulting In possible con
fusion and Uie defeat of needeil legislation,
doe nut get extra well with Mr. Sheldon,
who belleTee the legislature l amply abb.
to attend to It own business without In
terference from him.
"I balleve," he said, "Nebraska will have
a splendid legislature this winter and that
dy will carry out the pledges of the
tate platform with no hesitation. Thr
platform has been so thoroughly discussed
and Is so well known that there Is every
reason to bcllevo the laws cuverliiR the
5olnbj In the platform will be enacted
luring the first portion of the session. I
fure the minor matters are taken up."
Bl Mlck last Kcaort.
Should the legist! tire show a diio
eliioti to go back on the plutforrn. then
of courts Governor Sheldon Is expected to
take up his big stick, for he Is terribly In
earnest about carrying out the platfotm.
but the governor believes the hgialHtuie
la Just aa much In earnest as hv Is In
the reforms needed In this state and lie
believe it will be entirely uncalled for at
thla time for him to begin telling the
legislature how it should go about doing its
duty.
Governor Sheldon approves the sugges
tion that all 'the pledget! of the platform
be curried out during tho tir-t few days
of the sess'on and before the local bills
are InfrofluVeii or become. Issues. Ho is
anxious that the bill giving full authority
to the railway commission le passed Im
mediately after the legislature convenes, no
that body can get busy. He believes that
commission nhould take up passenger rat?s
tho first thing and reduce the prese.it
chsrge.K. Passenger rates was Cunilldnte
Shallenbcrger's special hobby during the
late campaign und Candidate Sheldon in
sisted thin should be delegated to the com
mission to look after.
In the matter of appointment the tieiv
governor has fully made up his mind that
nothing will be done until after the first of
the year. ind newspaper guesses as to
who he will nppolnt to certain offices ars
without th! slightest foundation. He has
Intimated to no one, lie said last night,
who he Intended to appoint to any oflVe,
for the reason he has not yet considered
that proposition. After the legislature be
gins to carry out the pledges In the plat
form he said it would be plenty of time
fur him to name appointee.
Campaign Bllla Klld

WATERLOO. Neb.. Kov. 17 (Spec'.Al
Telegram. ) A young girl of this place,
14 years old. Viola Ay res by name, left
home last night and has not been heard
from since. This morning her cap. a
, light Jacket and parasol with fur bo.i
i wrapped about them, were found on tho
wagon nridge over the t.iKiiorn river.
The suicide theory is not generally ac-
; cei-ted, however.
j The girl left home about 4 o'clock Fil-
day afternoon, going to the home of J.
If. P.iggs. where she had gone dally for
several months to work a couple of hours.
She left the Rlggs' homo at 5:45. Flee
minutes later a man coming Into tow,i
met a girl near the hridge. He also saw
a horse and bugify coming towards the
bridge, and the theory Is advanced that
! the girl left her things on the bridge
and went with the man in the bugtry
either to Omaha or Fremont. TIt parents
of tho girl are divorced. Her father, Wil
liam Ayres, lives at Fremont and tiny
have come for her. The probabilities are
that she went to Omaha, lthou;i tile
mother thinks she Is hiding near hero.
The girl ran away when only 10 yeurs
old and recently, threatened to go again.
She had packed her clothes in a telescope
which she placed near the back wlndor.-.
Her mother thinks she was determined to
gi yesterday because of fear of punish
ment. Slanderous reports about tho
mother have been tract-d to the girl. The
girl will be forgiven if she returns.

The city administration has made
a clean sweep of all petty gambling, such
aa slot machines. An ordinance Is being
published today, and goes into effect at
once, upon the unanimous vote of the coun
cil and the Initiative of the mayor, putting
all slot machines or other gatnea of chance
used to stimulate trade. In candies, cigars,
etc., out of commission. The rear room of
a candy arid cigar store was also raided
and four men were'arreHted on tha charge
of playing for money, gince tha people of
the City, five years ago, voted against tha
public gambling house, there has been no
open gambling. SeTeral plaees at which
gambling was suspected have bean raided,
but the convictions were not always forth
coming, witnesses not appearing, and at
other times the fact of money changing
hands being difficult of proof. Hence the
Clean sweep now ordered by the mayor and
council.

BUAIR. Neb., Nov. VJ.-This eojnty will
return to the commissioner system the first
of the coming year, having been under the
board of supervisors since Ifcifl. The ap
pointing hoard, which consists of county
Jndge. county treasurer and County derV.
stands two .democrats and one republican,
and the Indications are that the hoard of
commissioners will be about the same poli
tical makeup. James K. Maker, democrat,
was elected supervisor from this city and
will undoubtedly be one of the three com
missioners. Mr. Maker has been a resident
of this city since hoyhood. Is now chair
man of the Board of Education, and his ap
pointment would give general satisfaction
to republicans, aa well as democrats.
The citizens of this city will vote at a
special election on next Tuesday on the
initiative and referendum act. While it
will be strongly contested on Tuesday, the
leal fight 'will be next spring over tho
license or no license Issue, and of which
the present attempt to enforce this lw
h:ia come up. The license Issue waa bitterly
contested last spring, owing to the almost
entire failure of the city's administrations
for severs! yeais to regulate the liquor
traffic and Ita results In thla city.
