After all the struggl to "get together"

Gordon has a record as police Judge, but

record Is no better now than when the peo-
J JJ.U "turned him down" before.
k The action of the democrats In filing
thrm names by petition for district Judge
la regarded as an attempt to take the
.. power of nomination away from the pub-
,Uc at large and put It in tha hands of the
r central committee. Before the namea
wera filed It waa practically certain that
, In ne of the three would accept the nom
. luatlon If his nnme waa submitted. But
if; In order to give tha committee power to
, (.select the ticket It la nocessary that there
,r.be vacancies to fill. Hence It Is asserted
the committee selected candidates who
r would not accept If nominated, but would
withdraw, leaving the central committee
the power to make the nomination.
j , "It was understood before the petitions
s were filed," said O. A. Magney, "that 1
would not accept the nomination If I re-
celvcd it. I told the committee this and
did nothing toward having my name filed.
'This was done by petition. I understand
k there la some question as to whether fhe
names will go on tha ballot as the po-
tltiona were not received In Lincoln within
the required time, but If my name goes
" on the ballot and I am nominated I will
refuse to run, leaving It to the committee
' to fill the vacancy. I understand neither
' Mr. O'Hanlon nor Mr. I-ambert will ao

the exception rather than the rule.
"All over Europe I noted a feeling of
the deepest respect, almost of awe, for

with Incredible rapidity. I talked to ona
young Italian In Venice. He was my gon
dolier. He told me that a friend had writ

was to go out early In the morning with
a shovel and gather up the money In the
streets. The Ingenuous youns prevaricator

In Italy that if you get out. early enough

OMAHA, Aug. a-To th Editor of The Bee:
An article in ygur paper, "Paver Itnor?s
Council," doe me an Injustice. Tou state:
"E. D. Van Court, the contractor, sent a
communication to the council declaring that
he had no relation with that body and was
working under the city engineer, and for
this reason ha desired the council to either
pay the bill or reject, bo that he oould foroe
collection In court."
Now, tha facts are I did not send any
communication to the council, but wrote
the following letter to Peter Blsasser:
OMAHA. Aug. 1. 1907. Mr. P. E Elsasser,
City Deer Sir: My foreman advltes me
that you think It Is my duty to atnd a
written communication to tne city council
In order to get them to accept or reject the
curbing on Bouth Twenty-fourth atreet.
I would respectfully ask that you look
over tha contract that the council mad
with me for curbing and you will aea that
In nearly every section that the work Is to
be done as requested by the city engineer,
and to the satisfaction of the city engineer,
and aa directed by the city engine r. and
In no case do I find Ir. tile contract where I
have dealings with the city council.
When the engineer accepts my work h
presents the same to the city council for
their approval, and It Is for the council 10
either approve or reject the work for srme
cause. And If rejected the only recourse Is
to collect by law.
Now I think If you will conault your city
attorney, stating all the facts, he will ad
vise you that you have no cat at law
whatever. And It Is your duty as chairman
of the paving committee to see thst an In
vestigation is made and action taken by
the council at once. You have no rUht tt
cause me to lose interest on $3,00j or $10,00
by neglecting to act.
I would ask aa a special favor that yru
make an appointment with the cltv at
torney and meet me there, and we will go
over the cae together with hl'o. Ton will
confer a favor on m by ao doing before
another meeting of the council.
E. D. VAN COURT.
This letter was not Intended for th City
council and Mr. Elsaster had no right to
have It read In the connclV meeting.
I fully agree with Mr. Rosowater wheroln
he statea that "tho charter specifically pro
vides that the council must approve the re
port of the city engineer and this gives it
full power to act In the premises."
There Is nothing In the enclosed letter to
Indicate that I wish th council to pay tho
bill or reject It so that I can enforce Its
collection In court.
If the curb, as I claim, has been com
pleted according to specifications, and is
now In a perfect condition and satisfactory
to tha city engineer, and the council then
rejects -it. I hav no other recourse but to
collect by law. ,
And Mr. Elsasser told my foreman on
Tuesday afternoon, whilo looking over the
work, that he could not see anything wro.ig
with It and thought that I shculd have my
pay, and then that same evening he made
a motion that the work be not accepted un
til an Investigation was mad and that
there were a hundred places dat needed Im
pair. After learning there facts, together
with bis statement to my foreman that I
should wilt the council. I sent h'nt lb
above letter.
If the council, upon investigation, fine's
apy defect, which the engineer or myself
have -not found I shall make then good at
once. - E. D. VAN COURT.

COUPONS TO BEAT THE LAW
Cereal Companies May Use Them in
Packages.
DEPENDS ON ACTION OF COURTS
f They Cannot Knock Out New Law
Breakfnat Food Concerns Have
Found Way to Circum
vent It.
A new method of distributing prises and
premiums with food products has appeared
and la striking terror to tho hearts of Job
bers and others who are fighting tha prlxe
package principle. They believe It will be
adopted by the cereal companies to get
around the Nebraska pure food law.
In some of the food products and, for
that matter. In soaps and many oiner
hlngs, are placed coupons which entitle
the holder to dishes and other prlxos. It
Is called the universal coupon and la Issued
by a Baltimore concern whlcli conduct a
business similar to that done In green
trading stamps.
In case the provision of tne pure ioou
law prohibiting prlxcs in packages is up
held by the courts, It is raid the cereal
companies will adopt the coupon system for
Nebraska trade. In case the courts ruie
agaftmt coupons In the package,' the cereal
concerns will print tho coupon on the out
side of th package, thus preventing a
violation ot the letter of th law, though
not complying with its spirit.
Since the passage ot th law tho vjuaker
OoU company has opened an ofllc In the
old United States National bank building
In Omaha for the direction of Its Nebraska
trade. It is selling packages containing
dishes and Manager W. H. Sapp says It
will continue to do bo until the matter Is
brought to th courts and they declare
uch practice a vlolntlon of th law. Mr.
Sapp maintains that the dish packages put
out by his company are aold aa oats
and dishes, and hence the dishes cannot
he considered as Drlxes or premiums. If
th courts declare against him on this
point of construction, Mr. Sapp says hia
company' will probably test the constitu
tionality of the law, believing the pro
vision In question can be knocked out.
Prosecution Expected Soon.
It Is expected that Food Commissioner
Johnson will begin a prosecution of ona
of the cereal companies soon since he bo-
lleves they are making them.elvea liable.
Mr. Johnson's views are shown In a letter
he wrote recently to W. H. Avery of Til
den. Neb. It runs:
Dear Sir: Answering your favor of tha
19th Inst. I am sending you under !
arate cover a copy of the pure food law.
A careful examination of the law will, I
think, convinco you os It does nie, that
prizes, premiums end gifts are prohib
ited and that the dealer In Nebraska is
liuhle for. the penalties provided in ihe law,
unless he has a guaranty from a wholcsal.tr
In this tate. The guaranty of manufac
turing concerns outside of the statA will
not protect the Nebraska dealer from ar
rest and prosecution. 1 note what you say
of certain manufacturing concerns locat.d
outside of the slate, which are sending
package goods Into this state without com
plying with the law as to th net welKht
clausa, and you are advised that th
guaranty of this outside concern will not
protect you.
The net weight requirement is Intendel
to protect the public from the short
weight trick, which Is a specie of deception
and dishonesty. Even though the guarautv
of these outside manufacturers would
technically protect you. atlll, It seems to
me that no Nebraska dealer appealing to
the Nebraska public for patronage and con
fidence cwn afTord to Join a conspiracy with
nonresident manufacturers to resist a Ne
braska law which alma to compel food
sellers to give honest weight to their
customers. .. J. W. JOHNSON,
, Deputy Commissioner.

LONE MATCHJAVED HIS LIFE
Thrlllinar Experience of a Fisherman
In the Mosquito Hegton
f Maine.
His last match saved Ernest HufTmeyer,
a Bangor fisherman, from being fairly
eaten alive by black fllea and 'mosquitoes,
or from being so seriously Injured that ho
would hav had to remain In bed for
weeks.
HufTmeyer Bet out to rish on Molunkus
river and as the day was hot and no one
around to advise him he left minus his coat.
His only covering above the waist was a
gauxe-llke cotton ehirt. On his heud
perched a skull cap.
The sport was good, and when HufT
meyer started to return through the woods
the sun had gone down. Darkness fell
shortly and almost before he knew it the
young man was off the trail. It was neces
sary to make camp and wait until day
light, and It was only then that Huffmeyei
discovered that he had no- mutches. He
was thoroughly frightened at this, for the
mosquitoes and black files began to swarm
about him and bite frightfully
