ofllcers, who had practically no connection

rumor also says a certain distinguished re

pied by caloons.
Suit for Diamond and Injuries For the
loss of his diamond shirt stud, together
with physical Injuries ho received in a
Hunt, Frank Dolezal of South Omaha lias
begun suit in county court against James
Plvonka for $7G0. In his petition Dolexal
says Plvonka slipped up on him September
and struck him a number of times. In-
flirting Injuries which laid him up ten days
and caused him to pay out $15 for a doctor.
In the scramble his diamond shirt stud
was knocked off and lost, lie says it was
worth $250. The remainder of his claim Is
for his injuries. '
Tho unyellding attitude assumed by the
heroic elevator conductor at the city hall
In the face of the demands of a hungry
democratic county commlftee has resulted
In a reduction of the levy for campaign
purposes to Just about one-third of tbe
amount flift demanded. The first demand
was for $14.80 of the elevator conductor's
cash. When he demurred the amount, was
reduced to $5. but so faT tho recalcitrant
conductor has not produced the cash, al-,
though all his associates and the janitors
on the different floors have contributed
their money to the fund.
Members of the city council are somewhat
Interested In the matter, as some of them
have not received notice of the desire of
the committee for cash. One member de
clares tliat he has dollars for defense, but
not one cent for tribute; that he may give
$-5 If he is permitted to fix the amount,
but that ha will absolutely refuse to give
$13 of his monthly stipend if it comes In
the form of an assessment.
There is more or less dissatisfaction over
the matter of raising funds at the cltyhall.
Those appointees who hold office directly
under the mayor are given to understand
that, since the mayor is on the executive
committee, he must make a decent show
ing, and as a rule they do not object to
meeting the mayor half way, but there are
a number of offices where the mayor has
nothing to do with tho appointment of em
ployes and the appointees of the mayor as
sert that the men named by others are not
bearing the same proportion of the expfeise
of the campaign as are the men placed In
office by tho mayor. One of the men called
upon to take part in tho ralslngof funds
says:
'I think the boys might contribute, but I
don't think much of the candidates who
ask them to do so. If I run for office I ex
pect to pay the expense, and 1 can't see
where the spending of money Is going to
do uny good. I ccrtulnly wouldn't make
others put up for me. It's all wrong to
assess these men, but as long as It bus
been done they should face the music or
throw uj the Job."
With election day three weeks from Tues
duy the prospects are brighter for mose
noticeable activity on the part of the
political parties, although the wise ones
predict more or less of a "gum-shoe" cam
paign. Vp to date tho only work done by
the committees has been to secure registra
tion lists and to notify persons not regis
tered, to do so. With practically ' half the
vote of botll parlies unregistered and but
onemioro day for registration, tho pros
pect for a light vote would seem certain,
but as the last day comes the friends of
the vailous candidates may succeed In
bringing the total registration close to the
normal figure.

Democratic disintegration Is already set
ting In. G. Fred Elsasser, touted by some
as the "strong man" on the democratic
ticket, . is not only willing to 'admit the
soft Impeachment, but ho desires all his
associates t recognize his alleged strong
position. At a recent meeting of candidates
when the talk was all of "standing of fall
ing together," Mr. Elsasser took tho floor
to remark that he hoped none of his associ
ates would feel aggrieved because he secured
votes which he could not deliver to other
men on the ticket, as he was "out to win"
and expected to get many votes which
would be. cast for republicans for the other
offices. Before he had taken his seat every
other candidate was echoing his remarks
and the "stand together" meeting ended
In an individual resolution on the part of
the participants to go Into the race on the
basis of "every man for himself and the
devil take the hindmost."

FUTILE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE
Edward Malone of Honth Omaha, Be.
.conies Melancholy aad Shoots
Himself.
Kdward Majone, a guest of the Greer
hotel, South Omaha, attempted suicide
Sunday evening at the hotel. He has been
a lodger at the hotel for sometime. Lately
he contracted malarial fever and after con
siderable illness developed symptoms of
melancholy. Sunday evening he went to
bed and covering himself thickly with the
bed clothing to muffle the sound he
fired a bullet into his breast. The
missile glanced on a rib and passed out the
left side Of his body. The blow was suf
ficient to cause unonsclpusness. The fire
of the discharge also set the bed clothing
smoldering in a dangerous manner.
The employes of the hotel noticed smoks
issuing from the room and the door was
broken down. At this moment the bed
clothing, catching a freer draft, burst Into
flame. After a few moments or quick ef
fort ,the fire was extinguished and the
wounded Lilian was discovered. The Are
department was called, but had nothing to
do after arrival.
Malone regained consciousness and had
little explanation to make. A return of
fever, which forced him to bed Sunday, is
thought to have momentarily unbalanced
him. He is at the I'resbyterlan hospital In
Omaha.
Malone Is an employe of the Western
Weighing association. IHs brother, Wil
liam Malone, is head of the lard refining
department at Armour's packing house.
