Crosby for the republican nomi nation for coroner waa transferred to ths equity court Friday morning when the prl tnark canvassing board refused to count three unsigned ballots for Crosby and held Brewer had the nomination by a majority of two votes. Crosby, through his attorney, H. G. Iiurbank. Immediately filed a conv plaint for a mandamus to compel the board to count the three votes, which would give the nomination to Crosby by a majority of one. Tl.e hearing will be held Monday aft ernoon ftt 2 o'llw k before one of the equity j.idee. The three votes around which the storm enters were cast, one In the Second pte Uict of the Sixth ward, one In the Third precinct of the Sixth ward and one In tiie Vint precinct of the Twelfth ward. In the petition the court Is aked to issue a writ of mandamus to compel the board to count the three vote for Crosby.

Two complications may come up in the case, though It Is not known yet that the board or Brewer will raise them. Accord ing to a member of the board many of the 1, allots that were unsigned by either a Judge or a clerk were thrown out In addi tion to the three complained of. In case the mandamus Issues It may be necessary Cor the board to count these ballots as well as the three complained of and they might effect the result. Another question which may be raised In the iae Is whether or not ballots which are signed by only one Judge or cierk can be counted. In case It should be decldtd such votes are Illegal Dundee precinct would have to be thrown out bodily, and as Crosby had a majority of 33 In this pre cinct It would be disastrous to him. Mr. Murdock, Brewer's attorney, said he did not know whether he would raise that question or not. Text of the Derision. The decision of the board was presented in writing us follows: In the matter of the request of Con testant Crosby coming on for hearing upon the counting of three certain ballots not being endorsed as provided by. law by either a Judge or a clerk of election and upon ihie consideration thereof, it is the opinion of the board that the former ruling of the board should be adhered to, and t ho ballots be not counted, for the following res sons : First That section 9 of the primary law provides that the slgnxturcs of at least one Judge and one clerk of election should ap pear on the back of the ballot. Second That it appears by section 38 of primary law that upon any point upon which the primary liiw ahouifi be de ficient and not fully covered, the general e Hon laws of the state should control. TTiTrd That section ljl of the general election law provides that ballots not prop erly endorsed by two Judges should not be counted. This provision, however, is modi fled by section I of the primary law which permits ballots to be counted having but ths name of a Judge or clerk endorsed on the back thereof. Fourth That paragraph 3. section 159 of the general election law, provides that bal lots shall be so folded by the" elector as to expose on the back thereof the en dorsements ot toe names or tne juuges of election. Fifth The count v attorney of Douglas county has advised this board that bal lots not endorsed as above provided f r are Illegal. Sixth The board, having on counting the ballots ot all the precincts In Iouglaa county, uniformly held that ballots not en dorsed by at least one Judge or cierK ot the election board should not be counted. It Is therefore the judgment of this bosrd that ssid request to count the said IKree ballots be denied and the same nn counted. Board t'ouiletre Werk.

WATER COMPANY SAYS NO Refuses to Make Showing- on Record of Earnings to the Board. Refusing to make any showing regarding its earnings and .expenditures as a basis for the fixing of water rates, officials of the Omaha Water company declined to be present at the meeting of the Waer board Friday afternoon. President Woodbury sent a letter to the board and this was read by the secretary, the board adjourning im mediately afterwards to meet the first Wednesday In October. At Ita last meeting, the board requested of the company that it furnish the board with copies of Its records showing the amount of Its earnings together with its expenditures in the cities of Omaha, South Omaha and Florence. This was desired so rhat the board would have a basis on which to fix rates. Since the company re fused to make the showing. John L. Web ster, one of the attorneys for the board, ays that it will have to gather facts the best it can and make rates of Its own motion and without the consulting advice of the company's officials. The letter from President Woodbury is. in part, as follows: Inasmuch as the Water company adheres to the views of its contract rights and obli gations expressed In its statement delivered to the Water hoard at the meeting of Au gust 29, 18. the company can see no good reason why It should appear before the Mater board on September X, ln jnit since the company can neither assert to the assumptions contained in the recitals on which the orders and resolutions are ba'ed nor admit the validity of any of the orders which relate to ths company. Its f i am-liUe contract rights or business, the company must decline to present to the Water bosrd any of the Information requested. The letter was written from New York under date of September 21.

Advertise n The Bee. tht paper that goes Into Cue home of the best people. Fred H. Cosgrove, for fourteen years a leader and one time president of the Jack sonians, Is about to desert their rutiks and cast his lot with the Jimocrats, or the Dahlman democracy, the ancient enemy. This disturbance in local politics takes rank with the Hearst bomb recently ex ploded In the national camp of democracy. Mr. Cosgrove Is disgusted because the Jacks, for whom he has done everything but wade In blood, repudiated him at the recent primary. He has been bidden by such prominent Jims as Joe Butler and John Mahoney to come Into their house and not one Jack grabbed hold of him to pre vent his going. But the strongest invitation for Cos grove came in the form of Jim's demand that Ed Berryman get off the Park board. It was this way: Ed Berryman was cred ited by the Jacks with fixing up the slate at the primary election on which sUtc Cosgrove and the rest went down to de feat. Then after election Berryman, they say, tried to get from under the onus of responsibility and shift It to his friend Cosgrove. That simply set the amiable Cosgrove on fire, and when he heard that the Jims had demanded that Berryman take his choice between resigning and be Ing kicked off the Park board, he shouted, "Hurrah for the Jims," and got ready to Join them. Jims Are Nobody. Incidentally Mr. Berrytnun hu3 managed to show himself somewhat of a humorist In this Jim controversy. Asked the other day If he would accede to the request that he resign, he said, with the most bland look on his face: ' Nobody has asked me to resign yet." lie was reminded that the Jimocrats had asked it in their most characteristic style of rhetoric. "Ha, ha," he laughed heartily, "yes, but I said nobody hud asked mo to re sign." "We'll show this Bilk stocking whether we are nobody or riot," shouts big Jim Mahoney. Meantime sweet and dulcet harmony con tinues to da-ell In the house of local democ racy. "I do not want to appear disgruntled," said Mr. Cosgrove, " but I feel that I have nothing in common with the Jacksonian club, that my friends belong to the other organization, that they -can be better de pended upon, and that the Jimsonslans can do more real good for democracy than the Jacksov.:ans. The 'Jacks' are virtually dead, while the 'Jims' are 'live ones.' I have always been a fighter and admire a fighter. The Dahlman Democracy club has shown Itself to be a fighting organisa tion. I am out ot politics and for that rea son it makes little difference whether I be long to a political club or not, but I am considering Joining the Dahlmanltes and resigning from the Jacksonlans." Welcome to Oar Midst. Trestdent Thomas J. Flynn of the Dahl man Democracy was overjoyed when he mas told that Fred Cosgrove was consider ing Joining the club and said that he would like to see him taken Into membership by unanimous vote of the entire organization. "Nothing would please me inorw than to see Frederick 11. Cosgrove- become a mem ber of the Dahlman Democracy." said President Flynn. "and If bo should decide to put In an application I will tell the boys so. and I believe the application would go through a whooi'lng." Secretary C. A. HU of the Jimocrats S. F. Miller, general freight and rjns sepger agent of the Northwestern road, re turned Friday from a trip over the line, 'topping at O'Neill and Valentine, two towr.s where registration Is being made for the drawing of the Tripp county lands October 19. "While at Valentine I met James W, Whltten, representative of the general land oi'ficc of the government, who has churge i ever from that 'ftlon of the drawings," said Mr. Miller. "Ha ex pressed himself as pleased with what the towns and the railroads had done toward caring for the people who will be attracted to this big drawing for over 8OO.O0O acres of splendid land. Our road Is preparing to handle about 66,000 people, and we expect a heavy business through Omaha October 6 and 7, which are the dates of home seekers' excursion. The heavy business from the east will reach Omaha on the morning of October 7, and we already have a request for un extra special train out of Omaha October 7 to handle a bunch of busi ness from southern Illinois. The North western Is assembling all the cars possi ble to handle this business, which suie to be enormous. "The people of the northwestern part of the state are most prosperous this year. They have a cplcndld potato crop, which Is quite a crop of late In that section. There are lots of potatoes at Gordon, Hay Stirlngs and other point- "The reduced rates which the railroads have given for Ak-8ar-Ben seem to be quite attractive, and from what I could team Ak-Sur-Ben will have more people thnn Kdlson'st Ideas Flouted. "The Edison monolithic house is not a success. Of course, we all take off our hats to Edison as an Inventor, but 1 believe that in litis Instance he has not in'roduced a practicable tiling." This Is the declaration of Alfred Tracy, national president of the American Brother, hood of Cement Workers. "He may be able, to 'pour a hottso' In twelve hours, as he sHys, with his system of forms, but lie would be unable to remove the forms In twelve hours, for the cement would not set in that time. Moreover, ho cukib a solid wall, and everyone knows that a solid whII admits moisture and makes a homo unheulthful. He will have to devise some scheme for providing a hollow wall before the Invention will ever work out satisfac torily. "--New York World.
