LINCOLN, Aug. 14.-(8pclal.)-The pri
mary ballot will not be the same In the
various counties of the state. In some coun
ties there will be left a blan kllne upon
which voters may register their preferanr-e
for persons not on the ballot, while on other
balims there will be no blank lines and the
voters must choose between the names filed
as candidates. In Dojglas county there will
be no blank lln upon whlclvthe voter may
write In his preference, so the county clerk
telephoned to the secretary of state this
morning. The sample ballots sent out con
tain blank lines, but Secretary Junkln noti
fied the clerks It Is optional with therrjj
whether to print blank lines on tne primary
ballots.
Numerous inquiries were received by the
secretary regarding the blank lines and an
appeal to the legal department brought
forth a verbal opinion from Deputy Mar
tin that the primary law provided how
nominations were to be made and how con-
dldatea could get their names on the ticket.
There waa nothing In the law, he said, to
Indicate that it would be legal for anyone
to write the name of a candidate. He sug
gested, however, to the secretary of state
to allow the county clerks to do as they
pleased and then the matter of nominations
could be settled In the courts. If a voter
had the right to Insert the name of a man
not on the ballot, where there was no oppo
sition, which Is the case In the candidates
for one office in his county, a democrat
could write in the name of the republican
candidate on the democratic ticket and this
republican by one vote would become the
o.nriirlate for the entire democratic party.
Or the reverse is true. He objects to allow
ing one voter to name the candidate of the
party and he believes the primary law
provides against this by defining how nom
lnatlona are to be made and how the names
are to be placed on the ticket.
r h nther hand out in jvnox mmm
the candidate who filed for district clerk
has become deceased since the ballots were
printed. Mr. Junkln holds If the county
clerks look at the law with the same eyes
used by Mr. Martin they will have no way
to nominate a candidate. Mr. Junkln holds
candidate can only be nominated in mi
county by the voters writing in the name
of a candidate to go on the ticket this fall.
It Is because of tlvese different opinions the
county clerks will Vise their discretion In
getting up a ballot, And candidates who are
not satisfied with the outcome nave tncir
recourse in the courts.
OIncldentally Mi Martin is of the opin
ion, speaking offhand, that It is permlssable
to write In the names of candidates, the
person who inserts In a name as a candi
date for railway commissioner "to fill va
cancy'" will get on the republican ticket
thla fall providing hla name Is written In
the republican column. He Is of this opin
ion because no one has filed to fill the va
cancy on the railway commission, though
three republicans have filed as candidates
for railway .commissioner. The proclama
tion calls for the election of a person to
fill vacanoy."
Webster Chanarea Front.
B. C. Webster, chief of the dairy division
of the Agricultural department at Wash
ington, has gone on record two different
ways before the State Railway commission
In the matter of cream rates in Nebraska.
During the taking of testimony Attorney
Halner for the central creameries In Ne
braska, Insofar as the producer ia con
cerned, la much better than a local cream
ery. Today B. D. White of the division
presided over by Mr. Webster, who had
testified to the reverse, filed with the com
mission a telegram he received from Mr.
Webster In answer to General Manager
Haskell of the Beatrice Creamery company.
In this telegram Mr. Webster endorses the
co-operative creamery. The matter filed by
Mr. White Is as follows:
It asmuch as the centrallvers have seen
fit to Introduce Mr. Webster's bulletin at
the hearing just closed, I herewith beg
leave to submit a copy of a telegram re
ceived from Mr. Webster without my soli
citation: "WASHINGTON, Aug. 12, 1907. D. B.
White, Lincoln, Neb.: Here Is a copy of
the telegram from Haskell and my reply;
moke public If It will do any good. Do
you recommend the promotion and estab
lishment of co-operative creameries In Ne
braska, as a general proposition, under
present conditions, as you understand
themT Would you favor practically doub
ling present railroad cream rates to crip
ple centrallsers and establish and building
co-operative plants; your representative,
who la a witness for the rallroaiis on this
proposition, so testified. Answer my ex
pense. (Signed.) HABKELU"
My reply:
"Under many conditions in Nebraska, as
elsewhere, the co-operative creamery will
best build up the farms ard the farm
homes. This greater prosperity is shared
by the merchant and the transportation
' companies. Where the a-eneml ra f
freight transportation are used, giving no
discrimination to either the co-operatives
or centralised creamery, each stands on its
own bottom and that plan will generally
aurvlve which is beat suited to the conrtl
lions. teigneaj WEBSTER."
I also wish to call your attention to the
cost of manufacture, shipping and market
ing of butter. For example, let us take 100
pounds of butterfat, which will make 126
pounds of butter. It us assume for sim
plicity that It will sell on the New York
market at 26 cents per pound. This will
make 131.25. The cost of making and mar
keting are as follows:
Agent in country , ft oo
Express 75
Manufacturing j 00
menage ay
Incidentals ' 'a
Freight to New Tork 110
Commission j jr
Total
Or. In other words. It will cost 16.86 for
100 pounds of butter; deducting this amount
from $31 26. we have left IJ6.40. which Is
the amount in hand. The difference be
tween this and the amount paid patrons
is profit. It may be possible that ft costs
a trifle more than three-fourths of a cent
per pound for express. In fact, I rave
always allowed 1 cent per pound for the
transportation of cream, but since I
learned of the exceedingly low rates, which
"l ' 10 me general public, I be
ofYbuttert at" "0t COt 1 C P"" pound
fv lo considered that the butter
would not sell for more than market price,
while all fancy butter la selling for at
least I cents per pound above the market
price. I have also allowed 6 per cent com
mission for the selling of butter, which
we all know is not paid. I believe the above
la a fair and equitable way of figuring thla
proposition. Yours, very truly.
D. B. WHITE.
Iaapeetlag MUeoarl Paelne.
The members of the State Railway com
mission clothed themselves In mystery and
a few other garments this morning and
made a back alley run to the Missouri
Paclflo tracks, which they will personally
Inspect In an automobile as far as Weeping
Water to view with their own eyes the
thirty-two places which were recently
photographed and the photographs filed
with tha commission. These photographs
showed the track to be In a terrible con
dition and the commission wants to see
with Us own eyea what there la to see.
tat Manas- for Banks,
Another batch of banks received money
from the state treasurer today and became
atate depositories by agreeing to pay I
per cent Interest and putting up a suf
ficient bond. The banks and the amount
they received were aa follows: City bank
of Bpauldlng, 12.600; First National bank of
Spaulding. HOOD; Craig Bute baa, P.M0;
Bank of Commerce, Hastings, $5,000. The
money was withdrawn from the following
banks, which refused to atand for the I
per cent Interest demanded by the treas
urer: Ord State bank, $5,000; Commercial
State bank of Grand Island, $4,000; First
National bank of Crete, $6,000.
Oaards Drill at Beach.
While no official order has been Issued
ahowlng that the encampment of the First
regiment, Nebraska Natlonat Guard, la
merely a aide Issue to Capital Beach, a
pleasure resort near this city, numerous
visitors have been attracted to the Beach
because the encampment Is right at the
Beach and because the soldiers last night
drilled In the enclosed grounds. But those
who watched the drilling and who watched
the battle had to pay only S cents. This
waa the entrance fee to the park last night,
an increase from 10 cents, the usual fee.
The grouch expressed by several la this:
The state is paying the members of the
National Ouard to go Into camp, and now
the people have to pay the proprietors of
Capital Beach to see them drill.
Colonel Hartlngotn of the Second regiment
la still at a loss where to find sufficient
ground to have battalion drill In his regi
ment. Up to the present time no drill, ex
cept that held by the different companies,
has been gone through, but Colonel Hart
Ington said this afternoon that he expected
to hold regimental parade this evening on
the grounds just west of the camp. The
grounds would be much too small, he said,
but by closing the Intervals between the
companies he believed the parade could be
held.
In spite of the crowded quarters the men
are drilling well at Camp Robert A. Clapp,
and Colonel Hartlngton Is well pleased with
the drill put up by the men. Most of the
men In the regiment are new at the work
and the colonel haa not enforced much hard
drill aa yet, but since the men are now be
coming used to their surroundings and get
ting restless he expects to have all the drill
he can In the crowded quarters.
ThelSecond regiment has a band at their
camp and It is not afraid to allow the mem-J
bers of the regiment to know that It is
present.
Colonel Jenkins of the quartermaster's
department waa somewhat surprised today
when he waa called upon by the quarter
master of the First regiment at Capital
Beaoh to furnish additional water for the
camp. Manager Buckstaff had promised
the adjutant general that he would furnish
60,000 gallons of water per day for the camp,
but this amount haa been exhausted and
the eamp is needing more water. The water
which the men are getting la good, but
there is a shortage of several thousand gal
lons. Colonel Jenkins said this morning
that wells might be sunk at the beach-, but
he thought the water would be hauled out.
If the water Is hauled out It will cost more
than $20 a per but tne officers think
that since the camp will only last a few
days it will be cheaper to haul the water
than to sink wells.
Major Mack of this city was appointed
coach of the rifle team of the Nebraska
Rational Guard today and Major Phelps
was appointed "spotter." They will accom
pany the team next week on Its trip to
Camp Perry, la., where the national prac
tice meet will be held.
Book Store for Students.
In accordance with a law passed by the
legislature last winter providing that the
Board of -Regents should sell books to the
university students at cost price an execu
tive committee was appointed today to
establish a regents' book store. The com
mittee, consisting of Members Ernst, Allen,
and Abbott, will secure a atore building and
buy the text books at wholesale, selling
them as cheaply as poaslble.
Insane Man la Camp.
Great excitement prevailed at Capital
beach this morning, - when Frank. Dthart.
a man supposed to '-belong at Plymouth,
Neb., began tearing off his clothes and
throwing them Into the lake. Fairly raving
and running ' naked about . the beaoh
grounds, the man was after some difficulty
captured and forced into some old clothes.
Sheriff Ress was sent' for and the Insane
man waa brought to Lincoln on a trolley.
At the county jail, where he was placed
for .safe keeping, Dthart butted hla head
against the atone walla and attempted to
do himself violence until he was strapped
to a chair. The sheriff this afternoon tele
phoned to Plymouth to find out what to do
with the man. 1

Remarkable List of Fatalities In North
Nebraska River.
NORFOLK. Neb., Aug. H. (Special.
Seventeen persons have perished In the
waters of northern Nebraska and Gregory
county, South Dakota, during the present
season the largest number ever known
for one summer. A peculiar feature of the
continuous series of tragedies Is that these
deaths sem to run In Inexplicable sequence
During the last two weeks eight per
sons, during the last five days six people
have thus lost their -lives near Norfolk.
A remarkable coincidence seems to have
made six of these eight drownings within
a fortnight come In pairs."
At Nellgh, two weeks ago, a young
woman drowned; within twenty-four hours
a young man drowned In the same Elkhorn,
and only a few miles up stream. Grappling
hooks were used first for one search and
then for another.
Last week two people, William Elliott
and his wife, were drowned together at
Center. Two days later a double drown
ing occurred at Wlsner a young man
, swimming waa drowned one afternoon and
In less than twenty-four hours another
boy. had perished near the same spot.
And almost simultaneously a babe
drowned at Newman Grove and a young
man at O'Neill.
Victims of the week were: William El
liott and wife, Center; the child of August
Schukey, Newman Grove; Lewis Sullivan,
aged 11, O'Neill; Jens Moll and a son of
O. D. Beemer, Wlsner. The Beemcr boy's
body haa not been found.
Two of these drownings were peculiarly
tragic. At Nellgh Miss Anna Thelssen
was returning home from a carnival with
her sister and a young man. Th horse,
frightened, backed oft a bridge 'through
the railing and dropped the occupants
fifteen feet Into the water. The young
man saved one girl and almost rescued
the other, when she was kicked by the
horse. At Center, William Elliott and wife,
accompanied by their daughter, Ina, and
Mrs. Elliott's sister. Mrs. Franse, drove
into a washout. Mrs. Franse floated on the
overturned wagon box. The girl climbed
Into a treetop that she washed against.
The man and wife perished.
CHRISTIAN INDIANS ARE TO MEET
Preparations Reins; Made to Entertain
11,400 Delegates.
VALENTINE, Neb., Aug. 14. (Special.)
Extensive arrangements are being made
for the annual convocation of the Chris
tian Indians of the Niobrara deanery of
the Episcopal church of South Dakota,
to be held at Trinity chapel, the beautiful
stone church on Antelope creek, called
"the silent guardian of the prairie." The
convocation will be held for five days, com
mencing August 23 and closing August 128.
Antelope creek, the place of meeting. Is
between the two large government board
ing schools and about half a mile from St.
Mary's school, an Episcopal school for
Indian girls on the Rosebud reservation.
The committees are making preparations
to care for at least 2,400 delegates, clergy
and laymen. Bishop Hare, the venerable
prelate who haa worked among the Indiana
for the last thirty-five years, will be pres
ent, also Bishop Johnson, coadjutor bishop
o? the diocese of South Dakota, and many
other prominent clergymen. The convoca
tion grounds are thirty-five miles directly
north of Valentine and the meeting bids
fair to be the greatest gathering of Chris
tian Indians ever assembled In the north
west. More Facta In Laaarhlla Case.
AINSWORTH, Neb.. Aug. 14.-(8pecial.)
The death of Mrs. Mary A. Laughlln,
twenty-six miles from here, Is being Investi
gated by the coroner because of the strange
action of the . woman when last I if Alns
worth. She lived on a homestead with her
daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
William Crane. Last Friday the woman
was In town here and said that she must
go home, but they would kill her. She noti
fied A. J. Warrick of the Ainsworth house
that when he heard of her death he should
have a coroner's Inquest held. Saturday
night about 8 o'clock her daughter and
husband came home, as they say, and
found the old woman dead, when they
rushed out to the -neighbors' and reported
and then drove to Ainsworth for a hearse
to bury her. As soon aa Warrick heard of
the case he went to the aherlff and had an
inquest. There being no direct evidence
of foul play the case was adjouroed until
the stomach could be analyzed, which is
being done.
