'LINCOLN. ' "Anf. . . (Special.) While
numerous objections have, been vurged,
against the new primary law and questions
Confusing to the various county clerk have
been appealed to the attorney general for
settlement, the limit waa reached . this
morning when the report reached the elate
hous that out Id Seward county a large
number of people had an Idea the election
waa merely for 'the purpose of voting for
delegates to a state convention which will
choose candidates. Martin Dlmery, secre
tary,' to Governor Sheldon, who. has Just
.returned from Seward, said many people
Out there1, believe . the state . convention
would bo held aa usual and that the, ntm
Inatlona will be made In the old way. the
primary merely taking the place of the
county conventions. islilch formerly chose
delegate to the state convention. To dls
abuse their minds he has mailed out a
dosen or so copies of the primary law.
"It would be of great benefit to the peo
ple." said Mr. , Dlmery, "If the newspapers
woifld print .abstracts of the primary law
and Instruct the peoplo Just how nomina
tions are made. I waa surprised to know
that) many people thought the law waa
enacted merely for the selection of dele
gates to a state convention. I think If the
newspapers ' would v Impress It upon the
voters that they are to vote directly for the
candidates and that no state convention Is
to be held, the people would take much
more Interest In the coming election and
would go to . the polls and vote. Where
the Impression la general that the voter
la selecting delegates to a state convention
there Is bound to be a light vote in that
-locality." '
Mr. Dlmery sold he had no Idea how
such an Impression got abroad, but in his
section Of the country it is general.

Prtioa Association Disclaimer.
Inasmuch aa soma of the newspapers are
placing a portion of the responsibility for
Ihe Bancroft lynching on the Nebraska
Prison association by reason of its con
nection with convicts, members of that
organisation have come to the front in
Its defense. The ' prison association, as
an association, nor any member of it aa
a member of the association, has ever
assisted In securing a parole or pardon
for any prisoner. It is one of the rules
of the association, that it Is not to inter
fere la any Way with the trial of the
prisoner or in any way endeavor to
' shorten or change his sentence. The sole
object of the association is to assist
convicts after' they have been discharged
from the penitentiary. It has a commit
tee of more, than forty members scat
tered over the state, the duty of which
Is to secure employment for these dls
charred convicts. Committeemen are fur
ther obligated to help the convict to
lead a correct life arid to make his own
way ,ln the world. The membership .f
the prison association is not made up of
hysterical women and hero worshipers,
'at of the substantial business men of the
tat. Practically all of the business men
of Lincoln belong to it, while there are
rnore than fifty of Omaha's business men
on Xhr membership roll. These Include
f Judge! jo tb. district courts, bankers,
"frotesaloaal sen and others. The associa
tion has' an office In room 803, Kunke

INDIAN COS VOCATION AT AN END
Services Are Attended hy Twenty
Five Hondred Natives.
VALENTINE, Neb., Aug. 28. (Special.)
The Christian Indian convocation of tho
Niobrara deanery of the Episcopal church.
In the diocese of South Dakota, which has
been held on Antelope creek,, about thirty
five miles north of Valentine, for the last
five days, closed Tuesday evening after
one of the most remarkable Indian meet
ings ever held In the northwest. K
After a celebration of the , holy . com
munion and morning prayer at 9:30 a, m.
Tuesday, the usual routine of business
waa gone through, and at -sunset a beauti
ful service was said, all kneeling upon the
open prairie, and the memorable convoca
tion closed with the blessing; of Bishop
Hare. .,'.'."'
One remarkable feature which' develops
from this convocation is the strong feeling
on the part of the Indians to have their
own people elected to places of honor and
responsibility. As an Illustration . of the
strength of this spirit the Rev. Amos Roes,
a native priest, waa elected - dean of tho
convocation for this session. The election
of other officers from1 native ,Clergy and
laity are sure to follow. The next eon
vocation will be held at some. mission In
northern South Dakota In 190.
The Indiana, fully 2.600, broke camp
Wednesday morning and each tribe, after
paying a loving farewell to Bishop Hare,
set off for homo. Some of the Indians and
whites drove In a wagon for five and six
days, coming from the extreme parts of
South Dakota to attend the convocation
and receive Bishop Hare's blessing.
Bishop Coadjutor Johnson . and many
other clergymen and delegates arrived In
ttlla' eUy' Tuesday from the L'cohvdCatfon
grounds to take the train botna. They were
accompanied by a largo number of Indiana,
who came down to see them" off.
One noticeable feature of the convocation
was the quiet and orderly manner of the
Indians during its session. '.. ' They are
naturally of a noisy, wild disposition. They
have a deep respect for the services and an
unbounded love for Bishop Hare. The
bishop came down from the Rosebud
agency Wednesday mornln;.'j V " " . f
The general offering Saturday Vas $49 and
Sunday f5t This goes to, the. native clergy
fund. The babies' branch had little boxes
In which the papooses had saved their pen
nies. This amounted to 130. The junior
auxiliary, composed of young girls, gave
an offering of S101.93C This. -with tbe. babies'
branch, makes a total of 3131.90, which goes
to general missions.
At the confirmation service Bishop Hare,
assisted by Bishop Coadjutor Johnson, con
firmed seventy-four Indiana. In the even
ing he baptised eighteen. -'; '
Flg;ht Over Frelg-n Charge.
YORK. Neb., Aug. S.(8pectl. Charles
Carpenter, a wholesale dealer of coal at
York, has had- ' qutre a ''scrap -with the
Northwestern and Missouri Pacific rail
roads. It seems that a- car of coal from
the south was shipped to York for Mr.
Carpenter's patrons and that when the car
came here there was additional charge
other than freight, and as. Mr... Carpenter
Is one of the best-posted men, on, railroad
rates, he left the. car on the, track here,
notifying the companies that it would not
be accented until, these charges were de
ducted from the freight. The railroad com
panies notified Mr. Carpenter that he would
have to pay demurrage for, sack, day's de
lay In unloading the ear. Mr. Carpenter
then look the matter up with the State
Railroad commission, and -after making
several trips he finally convinced the com
panies that they had no right Mo make the
extra charges, and the coal this week was
delivered to his patrons without the extra
charge and with no demurrage. A member
of the York Commercial club. In comment
ing on Mr. carpenter's fight with the rail
roads, stated that the overcharge made on
freight to York's business men and manu
facturers. If carefully audited by a secre
tary who la thoroughly conversant with
the railroad rates , and . tariffs, that the
business men and shippers of York 'could
well afford to pay this man a good salary,
aa he would -save every dollar of his salary
In overcharges made by the railroads.

that which was In effect in Missouri.
Members of the boafd recently spent
several days Inspecting the road In Ne
braska, each commissioner taking a differ
ent portion, and In many Instances walking
the ties to make a personal Inspection of
the line. This was done on complaint of
the track layers' organisation, whose , of
ficers made a showing in the way of photo

of the track. The members of the board
ssy the track layers did not tell half of
the real condition Of the road as they
found It on their trip.

Darlington Will Re'fand Overcharge.
Owing 'to the error In making a rate
sheet, as the roads claim, the overcharges
collected on minimum rates from shippers
will be paid back when a claim is made.
The minimum waa' recently changed from
25 cents to 40 cents. Complaints poured
in upon the railway commissioners and
this resulted. In the return of the rate to
its former amount. The Burlington has
written to one Beatrice poultry dealer that
he may secure the overcharge and the
same offer will arply to other shippers
who lost similarly.

Thinks Platto Holds Gold.
SUTHERLAND, Neb., Aug. 28. (Special.)
For years the proposition to extract gold
from the sands of the Platte river In. Ne
braska has been regarded as a huge .chest
nut, and the numerous people -who have
occasionally caught the gleam of smoth
ered riches In the sandbars 'of that stream
have been treated to the "horse-laugh."
Folks In this part of the country haven't
been prone to waste much time In efforts
to make the river yield up Its store, but
Instead have contented themselves ."In
plucking it from the agricultural, stock
raising and many other resources of wealth
in the Platte's fertile valley. But a local
man has Interested himself In tho propo
sition to garner a competency for old age
and the time of wrinkles by coaxing gold
from the river sand, for a few' days ago
he found where time and the waves had
slowly 'deposited or cached an unusual
amount of what he regarded as the precious
stuff. He has had more or less experience
In mining and believes that the rich par
ticles in this particular place are coarse
enough to permit extraction from the dirt
with a little trouble. An effort Is being;
made to get smelting people to give a
definite opinion of the possibilities in con
nection with the scheme. T. A. Tucker Is
the man who Is dreaming of untold wealth
In future because of his find, and being a
painter he feels that he is competent prop
erly to diagnose "color."

appears that a climax was reached on the
Ravenna-Lincoln division. When the con
ductor who took the. train at Ravenna de
manded tickets, somewhere between Ra

during which the hat of one of the gang
blew out of the window. The demand was
made that the conductor stop the train and
permit the recovery of the hat. The con
ductor turned the proposition down and

Boone County Bliss. Three of our bash
ful young men forgot all about their bash
fulness last Monday night when some
young ladles. chanced to cross their path;
they decided to see the ladles safely home.
We wont tell who the boys were as we
promised not to do so. But In the wee
small hours of morning Jno. was seen
footing It up the road through the dust
repeating to himself "Oh It Is so hard to
part," while Dr. some two hours later
came puffing In from! across the fields In
time for breakfast and as Fred happened
to be in town he escorted Ernest safely
home. Dr. says he will take a coat next
time as John got all. shawl. Albion Argus.
A New Deal The writer has led a very
atrenuous life this week "getting on" to
the type-setting machine Installed In the
office last week. We have rode bucking
bronchos, herded wild Texas steers, fished
all day and caught nothing, climbed to
the top of the snow capped peak of the
loftiest Rocky Mountains and have had a
varied assortment of experiences that tried
a man's soul and his patience, but we
must say that this new fangled machine
ranks high In prlnglng a new wrinkle
on you every few minutes. The machine
haa "balled up" on us all kinds of times
but we suceeded tn "unballlng" her every
time and are much wiser than we were.
We Intend to have that machine subdued
and conquered In a short time, when we
can glvs you a better service than It Is
possible for us to do now. Wood River

An Ancient Election The election In
Blair passed quietly with little or no ex
citement. A reference to the vote shows
that our Greeley friends weakened on
their favorite. Like the October election,
the Liberal attaches to the Democratic
party, either kept away from the polls,
or voted for Grant, not because be waa
their choice, but they disliked to be on
the losing side, and (with a few honor
able exceptions) they proved T their de
votion to principle. In the evening, on our
streets, there were some disgraceful and
degrading exhibitions of whisky. Our
sheriff compelled one saloon to close up
and dispersed the rabble. He was, how
ever, powerless to make any arrests, as
our honorable, ambitious and effective city
board are possessed of too delicate sen
sibilities to pass any ordinance, for fear
they may bo enforced, and the credit and
good name of the -town thereby be pre
served. Blair Democrat, thirty-five years

Invited Once. A Norfolk - woman has
proved for all time that she has a good
disposition. She was going away on a
visit, and then was disappointed. It was
to be an unusual Journey. She received
a cordial Invitation from a sister-in-law
asking her to ' accept free transportation
and make the trip. 80 she made ready,
After she had prepared a trousseau for
the trip and had bought a beautiful gift
for her1 sister-in-law, she wrote to say
that she would come at any timo now
that was satisfactory. - That was eight
weeks ago. She has had no answer.. It
was like being deserted at the altar and
left waiting at the church. But Norfolk
women have common sens. Tula woman.

Instead of going half insane, only laughs
over the Incident. She has had a better
time getting ready, she says, than though
she had gone., For after all, our pleasures
come from anticipation. There Is no gold
