Hastings outran rrroken ?Bow for, the
next annual convention of tha State Asso
ciation of County Commissioners at . the
final session of the cenvontlon In Booth
Omaha Thursday -morning. . They were t 1 J
only contestant, for tne nonor. ineso c -fleers
were' elected: J. H. Weldon of Wi; 1
River, Hall county, was elected president;
C. E. Hill of Hastings, Hamilton county,
was 'chosen secretary, and P. J. Trainer
of Douglas oounty whs re-elected treasurer
for his third term. The next . meeting
will be held next year, beginning on the
first Tuesday of December. ,
It has been planned to furnish the con
vention with automobiles to pay a visit to
the. Douglas county roads. But the Con
vention had' depended, largely on the South
Omaha "CommerolaJ club" to furnish the
conveyances. The county commissioners
socured three ' vehioles, but the club ap
peared before the convention In the form
of Dr. W. J. McCrann, who apologized for
the "club" and the city, saying he dlscov
Cied too late that, all the machines for
hire had been promised to other parties
and he had no Idea that the convention
he 'found before him was so large and
representative .a .body or he would have
.. made an earlier effort to. aocommodate
L them. - So the visit to the west of Douglas
county was dispensed with, except for a
very few, ...
Another condition of affairs which caused
great surprise to the members of the con
vention was that In the entire city of
Eolith Omaha there were no hotels which
could furnish a ' member with a night's
lodging. The delegate.! were all compelled
to. go to Omaha, for entertainment. This
fact resulted .In considerable delay In the
optmlng of the.seaslcns.
Among the topics dlscusaed during the
morning session was the question of
needed legislation. Representative IL D.
Cone of Saunders county suggested reform
In the management of the county treasury.
Q neater safeguards of honesty and a more
effectual check on the disposition of funds
were among the reforms needed. He next
took ui the. question - of uniform state
laws governing the construction of bridges
over the large rivers of the state Instead of
romDelllna" earth countv to raise the funds
fur-this work.' Ha said he thought the
game laws should be modified slightly In
favor of the goose, the quail and the duck,
end' not, so much ,lor the sportsman. He
advocated a legislative committee repre
senting The convention to be appointed by
Mm chair.' t also made the declaration
the salary - of county commissioners was
not large enough and their pay should be
enual 40. that of , Wie county clerks.
The convention- adopted a resolution

city. v .

Case.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
. LINCOLN, Dec. 11 (Special Telegram.)
Since Governor Sheldon has .refused to
commute the sentence of Harrison Clarke,
murderer of Conductor Edward Flury of
Omaha, his friends ire exerting themselves
to Institute proceedings to declare him in
sane and thus avoid the death sentence.
Today Benton Bell of Omaha and Mrs.
Clarke went to the state houae with a view
of securing an Interview with Governor
fcheldon. The governor win confined to his
home with. Illness and could not see them.
They then went to the penitentiary with a
View of securing the signature of Warden
Beemer to an application for a hearing In
district court on Clarke's sanity. The war
den has declined so far to take this step,
believing that the governor has thoroughly
Investigated the case.
Proceedings are desired such as have
been had In the Barker caae. They are
brought before a district Judge and are
mandatory upon the court If the warden,
as custodian of -the prisoner, signs the ap
plication or If the court believes for any
reason there Is Justice In the request for
hearing. The supreme court, however; has
decided that the district court is not
obliged to take Jurisdiction where It is
apparent delay Is the only end sought. It
Is therefore believe no cognizance will be
taken In Lancaster county of Clarke's re
quest. The Investigation of Governor Shel
don has been thorough and iasfcone Into
every pnase or tne case.
Dollar Diner Jannary 15.
Chairman T. 8. Allen of the democratic
state central committee this morning an
nounced that the dollar dinner In honor of
William J. Bryan will be held on the even
ing of January 15. The event will be held
In the Auditorium and will be one of the
.most .largely attended banquets ever held
In the state. Distinguished guests from
many states are expected. The list of
speakers . hug not been announced. It Is
expected that Mr. Bryan will deliver an
address outlining his position on a number
of Issues.
Roosevelt Clnb Meeting;.
A meeting of the executive committee
of the recently organized Roosevelt club
was held In the office of Governor Shel
don last night during the tatter's absence
at the state penitentiary. Private Secretary
Dlmery was present at the meeting, but he
refused to act for the governor, who ar
rived at his office before the meeting had
adjourned. Frank Harrison, C. O. Whedon
and Governor Sheldon were appointed a
committee to circulate petitions In Ne
braska calling upon the president , to per
mit the use of his name before the re
publican national convention as a candl
date to succeed himself. The governor waa
not present when he was named on this
committee, and while he has been confined
to h'ls room all day and no statement could
be secured from him. It Is probable he
will announce his withdrawal from the
league.
,tt Is said to be the Idea of the gov
ernor that a Roosevelt league In Nebraska
Is not necessary. Inssmuch as the presi
dent carried the state by 84,000 three years
ago, he believes It Is not necessary to have
an organization in Nebraska to support
his candidacy again and if It. li necessary
to have an organisation to secure his nomi
nation, then it would be a difficult mat
ter to elect him.
The meeting last night had Just ad
journed when Information was received of
the president's statement reiterating his
former statement that he would not be a
candidate for another term. At the meet
ing some of the members of the excutlve
committee favpred going right ahead and
getting up petitions without waiting to see
If the president would again refuge to
permit the use of his name, but It Is the
general belief now that the Roosevelt club
will not further endeavor to persuade the
president against his will.

A delegation of citizens of Pleasantdale,

several days. The commission sent for the

Board of Aasessment, has received numer
ous letters from county clerks for a copy

ing a form will be prepared and a copy

perience under (he old law when execu
tions were held In the county in which the

eral legal, executions -were held In the

MANY aRARCHl!f FOR GIRL
No Trace Has Yet Been Fonnal of
Little Llllle Olson of Rosalie.
PENDER, Neb.. Dee. 13. (Special Tele
gram.) The 4-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Olson, living near Rosalie, who dis
appeared so mysteriously Sunday evening,
has not been found, although hundreds of
people have been searching diligently since
The stick or club which was picked up In
the barn yard smeared with blood and
hair has been sent to an analytical chemist
to have determined what kind of blood
or hair waa upon It The finding of Ihls
stick gave rise to suspicion that possibly
there was foul play. Those most Intimately
acquainted with the family Refuse to credit
any such belief.
Other theories of kidnaping, wolves de
vouring the child and all are being con
sidered. Searchers are Increasing In num
bers, but not the slightest trace have been
discovered. The bloodhounds brouvht
here from Lincoln after a thorough trial
would not take up any scent or trail.
There are numerous ponds and sloughs
near the Olson home and; all these are
surrounded by tall grass. Not far away
Is the Logan, whose , waters may have
swallowed up the body of the little girl.
BANCROFT, Neb., Dec. 11 (Special Tele
gram.) Interest In the search for Llllle
Olson has reached Bancroft. It Is thought
that by Sunday a thousand people will have
taken up the quest unless she Is found.
Tbe young man, Joseph Brown, who got
into an altercation with Olaf Olsen, the
father of the lost child, was brought here
today and lodged In Jail. Brown seems to
think Olsen murdered his child, as Olsen
tells so many conflicting stories as to what
took place Sunday evening, when little
Llllle disappeared.
The latest reports are that threats are
made of lynching Olsen, who Is believed
to be innocent. . Excitement is at a high
pitch and precautionary measures are being
taken for Olsen's safety. So far there Is
not the slightest evidence of what became
bf the little child.
Brown will - be held hero until further
developments, although ' there Is but little
credence placed In the murder theory.
Sober minded people are laboring, believing
every hour they will find some clue or evi
dence of what became of LiUle Olsen.
