Omaha, Net DEMOCRACY POT IS BOILING Uhterrifled Are Dodging Steam Lett They Get Scalded. NOT EASY TO FIND CANDIDATES Despite "-alt for Pesee In Party the rase a Ml lamb Market Doee .Not deem to He at All Bullish. The conference between the tmblmnn Democracy and representatives of the Jackannlan club at the Pa, ton M"" day night has started the democrntlo po lltlcal pot to simmering. Several prom inent democrats are looking askance at the steam and seem to be getting rea.iy to run for fear It will boll over and scald them. At the meeting the first thing considered was the selection of Judges of the district court and a number of names were con sidered. Among them were those of E. C. Page, member of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners; George W. Shields, former county Judge and former county attorney; George A Magney, Arthur Wake- ley, W. D. Lambert or somn umana. Clark O'Hallan of Blair. John Crossman and Judge Langdon of Parpy county. Pome of these men will not accept nominations, but others will and an attempt will be made to force others Into the race. From a Jacksonlan standpoint Harley Q. Moorhead la considered the best material far county judge, and a young lawyr named Shaw la touted for police Judge, with Fred W. Anheuser challenging him from the camp of the Dahlmanltes. Wlthnell Then Dreaeil. Charles Wlthnell Is offered the privilege of running for sheriff and an attempt will be made to have him reverse hla previous refusal. In case he stands by his former decision John Drexel will be Importuned to make the rare. For clerk of the district court Frank Broadwell ts the choice of a matortty. but In case of his Inalstence upon retirement to private life the place will be offered to "Andy" Gallagher, a deputy In the office. G. Fred Elsasser Is believed to have a lead-pipe cinch on the nomination for county treasurer If he will take it, and rumor says be will. For county clerk former Justice of the Peace Christman of South Omaha la out and friends of C. J. Canan are trying to force him Into the race. C. O. Lobeck haa been asked to take tha renomlnatlon for comptroller, but he de clares he la tired of asking his friends to vote for him and would like to take a rest from public affalra at the end of his term In that office. In this connection some of his backers have suggested the novel scheme of practically combining the office of city and county comptroller by having him serve In both capacities during his term and take the salary of the county comptroller only. Mr. Holmes, who was unsuccessful in the contest for nomination for state comptroller, Is mentioned for the place, as Is Fred Cosgrove, present employe of that office. John Power nalks. John Power is wanted badly as candidal for county commissioner from the Fourth district, but the ex-sherlff says he will not and Emll Cermak Is mentioned for the place, South Omaha Is to be permitted to find a candidate for commissioner from that district and the name of Richard O'Keeffe Is heard, while former County Poor Agent O'Connor has already filed for the nomlna tlon. John Speedle Is mentioned for county superintendent of schools and no one so far suggested for county surveyor. ILER WILL BUILD NO HOTEL Punctures Old Hobble with Flat As sert Ion that He Is Out of It. "I'm not going to build any hotel, and that's settled." said Peter E. Her Tuesday morning, when asked when he proposed to begin the erection of Ills much-touted million-dollar new Her Grand. Mr. Her believes he has done enough building for the short life of one man and Is now entitled to a rest. "The old fellowa have done their ahare for Omaha," he says, "and now It is time for the younger ones to do the build ing." Mr. Ucrr stands ready to lease the eld hotel, to allow someone to put up another on the site or to take stock In any com pany which may propose to erect a good hotel on his or any other property, but he does not want the responsibility of the project on his own shoulders. For two years Mr. Her has promised Omalia a new hotel on the site of the old one. During all that time, however, Roma Miller has been In possession of the Her Grarnl and Mr. Her was able to dislodge him only recently, when the matter had run, Its course through the courts to the supreme court. In the meantime Mr. Her h&s changed his mind sbout building. SUIT TO NULLIFY bIg TAXES Caa to Knock Out Fourteen Thou sand Dollar on Before Judge Rrdlrk.

You demand that your home be clean, and especially your kitchen where your food is prepared. As beer is a food, you have a right to know that the conditions under which it is made insure perfect cleanliness in the best of all beers Pabst Ifn new Tke Beer From the time the barley goes into the Pabst malt houses, and the hops into the Pabst brewery, no ingredient used in Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer comes in contact with human hands. Even the air in which the malt is grown, by the famous Pabst Eight-Day Malting Process, is washed and filtered; every kettle, pipe and tank is regu larly and thoroughly cleaned and sterilized. After the beer is brewed the atmosphere never touches it. It is aged in air-tight tanks, it is filtered, bottled and pasteurized; it is a clean beer, just as it is a pure beer and cleanliness and purity make it a good beer for you to drink. Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is rich in the food values of perfect malt and the tonic properties of choicest hops, with a very low percentage of alcohol less than 356 strictly a temperance beverage.

It has been reported to the Omaha authorities tiiat Mullen made a confession when caught that he was directly Implicated in the mur der. Tips from Carit ny Pumphrey. It was through a postal card written by Charles Pumphrey from 8t. I-ouis to Miss Anna Parr, a maid employed at the Her Grand, that Allmack's arrest waa brought about. The fact that Allmack and Pumphrey were suspected of the murder of Han. Pak made their names familiar to the public and naturally about the hotels. During the latter part of the week one of the clerks at the Her Grand in going through thn mall to distribute It to the various patrons of the hotel, Incidentally noticed the name of Charles Pumphrey signed to a poutal card, the card being directed to Miss I'arr. Miss Parr was also cognisant of the fact that Pumphrey and Allmack wore wanted for the murder, thourh she did not know Allmack personally, and naturally presum ing that the two men wer together gavo the hotel authorities Information regarding the card she had received from Pumphrey. The police were at once notified, and the arrest of Allmack followed at St. Louis. M'sa- Pnrr ssld: "I certainly have no wish to shield Pum phrey, neither do I know Mr. Allmark. I was acquainted with Pumphrey and he has frequently written to me, but this postal card Is the first I have heard from him since he has been accused of the mur der. I had not written to him, neither did J know where he was. At first I did not know th postal card was from St. Louis, and It was not until a second examination of the card that we found that It came from St. Louis.
