(From a Staff Correspondent )
LINCOLN, Sept. 12-(8peclal.)-The re
publican rounly committee met this after
noon and organized by the selection of
Charles E. Matson as rhalrnian and How
ard 8chlegel as secretary. The chairman
was Instructed to apiolnt an executive
committee to assist during the campaign.
John M. Stewart was selected a delegate
to the state convention and C. O. Wheedon
and F. C. Severlne were recommended for
members of the state committee.
In accepting; the chalrn ansh!p of the com
mittee Mr. Matson said he would accept
tha responsibility anly with the unierstaml
Ing that factional fighting cease with the
primaries and that each candidate and eacii
committeeman would go to work with the
perfect understanding that the principles
of republicanism were broader and more
Important than any factional differences.
He then announced thta he Intended to
sevsr his connection with the office of the
county attorney next Tuesday and remain
in tha county headquarters until after
election, devoting his entire time to the
work of the campaign.
Mr.; Stewart has been looked upon here
as one of the advocates of county option,
but whether he will vote for that plank
In the atate convention platform was not
discussed In the committee meeting and the
general presumption is that he believes
county option is purely a matter to be
dealt with by the county and therefore It
has no place In the state platform.
Tha meeting of the committee and can
didates was harmonious and enthusiastic
and most of the committeemen were
present.
The color line will not be tightly drawn
In the fight In this county, because the
ticket is made up partially of Black. Brown
and Green, all of whom Ned Brown said
are white.
No Llqnor in Hotel Rooms.
"That a saloonkeeper, although located
In a room connected with a hotel, has no
legal right or authority to deliver and col
lect for Intoxicating liquors to guests or
any oLher persons In other rooms In such
hotel, but such guest. If he desires liquor,
must purchase and receive the same at the
bar. Salt s made by a licensed saloonkeeper
at any place other than the room designa
ted In his license Is Illegal and renders him
liable to criminal prosecution and a re
vocation of his licence."
The above is the closing paragraph of
City Attorney John M. Rtewart's opinion,
handed down today, regardlns the legal
phase of the agitation to stop the sale and
delivery of liquors to other rooms In hotels
than the barrooms; which agitation was
started at the last meeting of the excise
board in a resolution, submitted by Excise
man Powell, and taken under advisement
by the board.

more elaborate and extensive scale. The
purpose of the managers Is to perpetuate
the festival as an annual amusement en
terprise for Hastings and central Nebraska
snd with this object In view new features
have been added to the frontier program
that are calculated to keep up a lively
Interest.
While numerous towns In Nebraska have
hud frontier shows, Hastings was the first
to make a success of such an enterprise.
The program arranged for last year In
cluded prises In the various contests that
were equal In number and amount to those
given annually at Cheyenne, and they at

Intention of entering again this year, up
wards of a score of 'outlaw" horses will
be brought from Wyoming and Montana
and a carload of wild horses will be col

One notable extension of this year's fes
tival is In the racing events for thorough
bred running horses and the contest for
matched draft teams. There will be the
usual wild horse and Indian pony races
and each day there will be one or more
I aces for thoroughbreds, for which purses
from $75 to 30O will be offered. The con
test for draft teams Is open to all comers
and entries have already been received
from a number of Importers and breeders.
An event that will recsll the strenuous
experiences of the pioneers In the great
western country will be a reproduction of
the battle of Laramie plains, in which sev
eral companies of soldiers and a large
body of Indians will meet In combat.
There will be free street attractions and

WRIGHT CHANGES MIS MACHINE
Reduces Slse of Sprocket to Increase
Speed of Motor.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Orvllle Wright's
assistants. C. W. Taylor and C. W. Bui
ness, spent part of today making a few
changes In the aeroplane which were de
cided upon by the aeroplanlst after the
flight made yesterday for the purpose of
determining the rale of speed at which the
machine has been traveling. The sprocket
of the shaft now has ten teeth. The gear
tng will be reduced by substituting a
sprocket with nine teeth. This will result
in a greater number of revolutions of the
sprocket In proportion to the propeller,
thereby Increasing the power, but dimin
ishing the speed. The latter will then be
Increased by giving greater speed to the
motor.
In his flights so far Mr. Wright has
used his motor at 1,210 revolutions per
minute, but when the new sprocket Is In
the place he Intends to Increase this to
1.450 revolutions. With this change, the
aviator expects to maintain an average
speed of at least forty-four miles per hour,
which would give him a bonus of $10,000 If
this speed were averaged in the official
speed trial. Bo far the motor has never
failed and during the longest flights has
neither become overheated nor shown any
Indication of skipping to any serious ex
tent. On one of two flights after It had
been running for over an hour the motor
skipped one cylinder out of the four In
every ten seconds or more. This made no
apparent difference In the speed of the
aeroplane and Mr. Wright considers It of
no significance.
It has been suggested to Mr. Wright by
several officers that he put a rim around
his propellers, thus securing a gyroscopic
effect. "That would be a great disadvan
tage," was Mr. Wright's comment. "The
machine would then travel In a straight
lino and that Is Just what we don't want."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. The movement

proval of Allen R. Hawley, acting secre
tary of the Aero Club of America; General
James Allen, chief signal officer of the

government departments might be given
Jurisdiction in the matter, Just as pilots'
