pOARD WANTS TO KNOW BACKERS
Attorney mt Certain I, and Ownrri
Hriimt Delay of Actios la
Ralldlns; of I.lne to Sey
mour 1'ark.
The requrnt of Shimer Chase for
franchise for a street rallrnad to run out
Went Q street to Seymour park met with
another delay Wednesday morning when
the county board took the matter under
advlnement for three week. Action was
postponed until the members of the bonrd
could familiarize their, Helves with the terms
of a new franchise resolution prepared by
James If. Adams for Hlilmer & Chase, and
In order to give certain Interested taxpay
ers, who are out of the city, a chance to be
heard.
John C. Wharton, hn said he appeared
for some heavy taxpayers, whom he did
not name, asked for the delay, because he
vsalrt, he had not time to look over the new
franchise resolution And because one of his
clients Is out of the city for his vacation.
He asked time to consult with this client
before action was taken. W. I. Klcrstead
seconded tne request for pnstponormnt of
action.
To Conform to Board's Idea.
Mr. Adams said the changes in the fran
chise had been made to conform to the
opinion expressed by members of the board
at the previous meeting. He said he had
limited the franchise to fifty years and to a
single road to conform to a plat he had
already filed retaining the provision the
road should bo in actual operation within
two years.
Mr. Ure broke Into the discussion which
followed with a suggestion that the bonrd
ought to know who Is backing Shimer &
Chase and who Mr. Wharton's namoleps
clients are. The Information was not forth
coming from either side, however.
Dr. George I Miller addressed the bonrd
In favor of the road and Mr. Adams stated
they had secured the signatures of 90 per
cent of the property owners along the prop
erty to a petition asking the road be built.
Coal Company Protests Bill.
The Central Coal and Coke company
came before the board protesting against
a deduction of $144. Bl In Its bills for furnish
ing coal to the county hospital. Chairman
Tralnor of the county hospital committee
recently had Installed a set of scales at the
hospital and Issued orders that all sup
plies be w.elghed. As a result It was
found that a number of the coal cars
were short from one to several tons and
tha board made reductions to cover the
shortage. Mr. Real of the coal company
appeared Wednesday and asked tho
board to allow the full amount. He said
It was customary for large consumers to
take mine weights and he thought the
county should do the same. Several of
the commissioners said they objected to
paying for coal they did not get and the
claim was taken under advisement.
'Phone Discount ot Allowed.
The State Railway commission haa ruled
that the Nebraska Telephone company can
not give the county a special discount on
the switchboard It Is proposed to Install
In the court house. At least this Is the
information conveyed to the board by tele
phone officials. The company made a
proposition to Install the board with twenty-one
conectlons for $37.50 a month, being
a discount of 60 per cent from regular
rates. Under the ruling of the board they
have made a new proposition amounting to
$91, to Include additional 'phones at the
poor farm and the Detention school.
The Independent Telephone company has
entered Into the competition and has sub
mitted an offer to Install a switchboard
with twenty-six connections and capacity
for fifty for 134.50 a month, additional con
nections to be made for 75 cents a month.
The board will consider both propositions
at a later date.

DOUGLAS NOT RAILROAD MAN
Bock foislr Statesman Denies He is
Corporation Candidate for
District Judge.
J. A. Douglas of Bassett, county attorney
of Rock county, representative In the leg
islatures of 1903 and 1905 and candidate for
the republican nomination for Judge of the
Fifteenth district, was at the Merchants
hotel Tuesday. lie gives an encouraging
report of political conditions In the Fif
teenth district and thinks republican pros
pects were never better In the northwest
part of the state than at this season.
"I filed my petition for the nomination
with the secretary of state under the new
primary law at Lincoln Monday," said Mr.
Douglas. "I expect to land the nomination,
which la, of course, equivalent to an elec
tion. Borne opposition Is naturally ex
expected. However, I shall not be seri
ously disappointed should I not win out.
I am vain enough to think that my legisla
tive experience and my service as county
attorney will be of great value to me
should I be nominated and elected.
"I wish to deny the charge that I am
fcS My sense a railroad candidate. The
fact that I have been an attorney for a
railroad company In my vicinity does not
make me any more loyal to the railroad
Interests than to any other client that I
havs had In my long career as an attorney.
If elected Judge I shall be the Judge of the
whole people of the Fifteenth district and
not for any interest or clique. I believe the
Judiciary Is and should be removed from
partisan or special Influences and I think
tny publlo career will bear me out In the
statement that the law and Impartial Jus
tice will be the only influences that will
govern any action of mine should I be for
tunate enough to be elevated to the
bench."

For ! by all Craer
The following; letter was received by Mrs.
J. C. Orr of Schuyler, sister of C. F.
Scharmann, In the office of General Man
ager Mohler of the Union Pacific, from
her husband who was on the Ill-fated
Columbia when It went down off the
California coast July aJ, and so many
lives were lost:
The ship was loaded with 190
passengers and a crew ot fifty-nine. The
loving farewells of relatives and others oil
the wharf sounded cheery and confident
and I thought of my own dear family at
home and longed to have them with me
to share my anticipated pleasure. I
was completely aroused by a rude shock
of the boat and, rising on my elbow, I
realised all the machinery had ceased to
work. Almost immealately the cry rang
out, "Kveryliody on deck." We sprang
from our bertha, turned on the lights sup
plied by a storage battery, thank the
Ixrd. Hnd .lumped Into our clothing with
all speed. My supposition was the screw
propeller had struck a submerged rock
and that Its blades had been broken off;
that there would be ample time to be
transferred to some passing steamer, 1
had no doubt at all. 1 put
on my overcoat and buckled my steel
Ashing rod, as you have seen me do often,
to my suit case and rushed out of the
stateroom. "Don't forget your life pre
server," came the cry. I had forgotten
mine and rushed back, seised It, put It on
over my overcoat and hurried on deck with
my grip In hand.
Awfnl TrntTh Is Apparent.
Once on deck the awful truth revealed
Itself. The steamship Ban Pedro had
rammed our ship on the right forward
quarter what seamen call the starboard
bow. Already the boat was so tilted to
this quarter that one could not stand upon
the deck unsupported. We were close to
the rear or stern of the ship. I climbed
over the railing and prepared to Jump when,
almost above me. but on the hurricane
deck, a man npieared and said: "Listen
to your captain," "lon't get excited."
"Paha the women up here." A tall fellow
to my right, some twenty feet, perns ns,
grabbed a woman and helped her up. She
was a Miss I.ewla, 1 believe, of Syracuse,
N. Y. Another was being hoisted and.
when the dojik heaved, the stat rooms
burst out. I leaped.
1 was on the deck of the wrecked ship
perhaps thirty seconds. The principal cry
raised that night waa "Where Is my life
preserver?" "How do you put this thing
on?" "What does It look ilkeT"
There was but a light fog and I did not
see a single lifeboat on our side of the
ship. I was on the left, or port side. I
must have been drawn Into a whirlpool
caused by the tremendous suction of the
sinking boat, for 1 was whirled, buffet ted
by wreckage and the pressure was so great
I thought It must crush me. Then, up I
shot the life pr server was doing Its work
well. I inuHt not harrow you with a nar
rative of all I saw and experienced. With
the aid of a light time box about like a
sugar chest I Moated until taken Into a
lifeboat and presently clamhored over the
side of the Han Pedro, which I soon saw
was a complete wreck, floating aimlessly
about. It was after 1 a. in. when I waa
rescued; my watch stopped at 12:24 a. m,
I must have been In the ocean ever one and
a half hours. The boat sunk In leas thaa
ten minutes. We were rescued by the
George W. Elder at a. ra. Sunday morn
ing and carried to Eureka, CaL, where
great-hearted pesple turned out enmasse
and did everything that food, clothing,
money and kind attention oeuld do to give
us relief.

NEBRASKA DRAWS PRIESTS
Spalding; Mfcen for Franciscans, Man
Whom Are Stopped
by Bishop.
In order to stop the exodus of members
of the Franciscan order from the eastern
dioceses to the Third ,Order of St. Francis
at Spalding, Neb., drastic measures are
said to have been taken by church offi
cials. Bishop McDonnell of the Brooklyn
diocese recently dispensed from their vows
twenty brothers of the order who applied
to him for leave to depart from Brooklyn
to Spalding. This practically reduces them
to the rank of laymen and undoes the work
of three years, including the service In the
postulant, novice and other stages. As the
brothers had taken permanent orders It waa
necessary for them to secure permission
from the bishop to be transferred to Ne
braska. The order of the bishop also will
sever their connection with the college of
St Francis in Brookyn.
The step Is .aid to have been taken be
cause of the tendency of members of the
order in the east to migrate to Nebraska
because of better conditions here. The at
titude of the bishop is said to be hostile
toward the order. He la said to favor ad
vancing to the priesthood young men who
graduate from the seminaries rather than
members of the orders.
