against the name of Snphus Neble going on

yer cent of the vote. Mr. Junkln Is not sure
at he t her the vote should be taken as cast
at the primary or at the last election as
a basis. The section of the law about
which Mr. Junkln Is undecided reads as
follows:
Section 14. No person shall be entitled to
or allowed to file a nomination certificate
as provided for In this act, or to have his
name plaoed upon a primary election ballot

them. Believing the decision of tha secre

were afraid not to file the namea and so
they were filed. Had they known the de

figured the strslght populist electors could

roraaratlas Fight Over Assessment.
BEATRICE. Neb.. Aug. 7. (Special.) (The
Board of Equalisation put In the er.tire day
yesterday hearing the case against the
Beatrice Electric and Gas companies In
regard to the proper assessment of their
plants. The gam company contends that
while It spent over linn.nno In Beatrice. Its
plant Is worth or.ly llS.mO. An Issue of t..
OflO In bords had been authorised, but only
one-fourth of this amount has been disposed

against the assessment of the electric com

the last election before the primary elec

vision or district for which he seeks the
nomination for office In.
A telegram was received by Secretary of
State Junkln today from Victor Roeewater,
republican national committeeman, calllrsr
his attention to the fact that the peoples
Independent party hsd failed to poll 1 per
cent of the vote In the First, Second and
Third congressional districts at the last
election. Tha telegram also stated that
1 per cent of the vote was cast by tha peo
ples Independent party only In the follow
ing counties In these districts: Lancaster,
Nemaha, Antelope, Boone, Burt, Knox.
Merrick and Nance.
In eaoh of the districts mentioned Tom
Allen hss filed a bunch of democrats who

Independent party. "In hie telegram M."
iflosewater set out that in his opinion it
was not tha duty 'of the secretary of state
to assume that the parties Hied had a right
to go on the ticket, but that It was the
duty of the candidates to convince the sec
retary they were entitled to go on, the
Uset.
Jaakln Makes ?fo Derlstoa.
On this question Mr. Junkln has reached
no conclusion, though Attorney General
Thompson has advised him that the posi
tion taken by Mr. Roeewater Is correct
and legal. Neither Is Mr. Junkln sure
whether the terminal tax Idea is growing
In Iowa and may be an Issue In the com
ing campaign ever there. Senator Dolllver
of Iowa has written to the reference de
partment of the legislature asking for all
few hatters of business." The Judge paid ;Mt Upon an Investment of $300,000 and asks
that Its assessment be Increased from $50.
000 to $130,000. R. H. Graham, superin
tendent of schools of Wymore, startled the
board by asking that his assessment be In
creased 1200, making It $1,100, as recom
mended by the city council.
Councilman McQutnn made a statement to
the board and declared that. If It were pos
sible.! he should like to have the whole city
of Wymore reassessed. He declared the
assessment was very unjust, that some of
the property was given far below Its value,
and In some cases the assessment was
greatly out of proportion. He denounced
what he termed "a ring of money sharks"
who embarrass the city financially ao that
Ha warrants will fall below par and draw
interest.
his respects to Governor Sheldon and then
called at the supreme court rooms. While
gaslng at the pictures of former supreme
Judges he remarked: "I never had a
client sent to the penitentiary who paid
me to defend him."
Allen's Artlea Analysed.
An analysis of the action of Tom Allen
and his army of legal talent and bangers
on, at the conclusion of the hearing on
Victor Resewater's protest against his at
tempt to steal the Watson votes for Brysn,
gives a conclusion that Allen attempted
to double-cross populists who really de
sired to file as candidates for electors. The
fact thst the names of the populist candi
dates were really filed Is taken as evidence
that Allen got cold feet over his contem
plated action and permitted the names to
be filed by the secretary of the populist
state committee.
Here are the facts on which the conclu
sion Is based I
At the conclusion of the hearing Allen
asked for an immediate decision from the
secretary of state, giving as a reason for
the hsste that If the decision was against
fusion, there would be no time to file popu
list candidates, ss Saturday wss the last
day for filing.
It was suggested that the names of can
didates for elector could be filed then aid
lster withdrawn, should the decision be
fsvorable to fusion. To this Allen de
murred. About o'clock thst night, however, he
reappeared with his army of legal talent.
Secretary Wairath of the populist state
committee, and applications for seven
populist electors were filed. Each applica
tion wss signed by the person making It.
The signatures seem to be bona fide.
The electors live In widely separated
parts of the state, from O'Neill to Omaha.
From o'clock until 9 o'clock It would
have been Impossible to have seen these
men snd secured their signatures to the
applications.
Consequently the applications must hsve
been In the pocket of Mr. Allen or Mr.
Wairath before the hearing began.
It was to the Interest of Mr. Allen that
these applications be not filed.' He Is try
ing to steal the Watson vote to give it to
Bryan. If populist electors go on the ticket
as straight populists he will be frustrated.
Therefore' the conclusion Is reached that
Fraternal ricnle at Teeomseh.
TECUMSEH. Neb., Aug. 7. (Special.)
The preliminaries of the big fraternal picnic

Capt. James M. Snowden, 625
Washington Ave., New Haven,

Is Hale, Hearty and Vigorous,
Due to the Constant Use of Duf

Captain Snowden Was One of
the Most Distinguished and
Well-Known Veterans of th

Fought in the Civil War.
In a recent interview Capt Snowden
aid: "I have used your 'medicinal
malt whiskey and highly recommend it
to all. At the age of ninety I am well
and hearty, and if it were not for a
disability resultant, from a gun-shot
wound, contracted in the army, I could compare with men much younger,
thanks to the Invigorating and health-giving qvnlltles ot Duffy' Pure Malt
Whiskey."
Unsolicited testimonials like the above come from thousands of men and
women who have been cured and restored to health by Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
is an absolutely pure distillation ot malted grain; great care being used to
have every kernel thoroughly malted, thus destroying the germ and producing
a predlgested liquid food In the form of a malt essence, which is the most
effective tonic stimulant and invigorator known to science; softened by
warmth and moisture its palatablllty and freedom from injurious substances
render it so that it can be retained by the most sensitive stomach.
It is Invaluable for overworked men,
delicate women and sickly children. It
strengthens and sustains the system, is
a promoter ot health and longevity,
makes the old young and keeps the
young strong.
