'Shallenberger, a banker who believee
In the bank guaranty."
That la the ahlbboleth of battle for the
democratic nominee for governor of Ne
braska. It la alao the sequel to an Inter
acting story of a clever politician, show
ing how easily he can adjust himself to
the exegencles of a campaign, whose para
mount Issues are aa kaleldeacoplc as Its
national loader's views.
Two years ago, when Shallenberger be
came the democratic nominee for governor
of Nebraska, he made a campaign at a
bunker, since he owned stock In a bank
and wits classed with that sort of busi
ness. So, the story goes, when he was again
named by the democrats In 1908 as their
candidate for governor, after consultation
with Borne of his shrewdest political friends,
he decided to mako the race as a farmer or
farmer's candidate. The state being' dis
tinctly an agricultural state, and agricul
ture being distinctly a profitable line of
business just now, Mr. Shallenberger read
ily decided In his own mind that aome tall
scrambling would have to be done if ho
expected to get the farmers' vote, for the
farmer Is not noted for helping to change
conditions that have conduced so vastly to
his prosperity.
"I'll make the race this year aa a farmer
and not a banker," Mr. Shallenberger Is
said to have exclaimed.
Fitting the word to action. It Is said, he
then proceeded to divest himself of all
the bank stock he owned so that he could
conscientiously gd before the farmers and
other voters of Nebraska with the declara
tion that, "I do not own a dollar's worth
of a stock In a single bank." So ha sold
his bank stock.
Tet the problem was not solved. It had
become more intricate than ever, but not
because of any fault of Mr. Shallenberger.
Th kaleldscoplc paramount Issue maker
had got busy again. In fact, Mr. Bryn
had decided to make his bank guaranty
plank the principal Issue In the state of Ne
braska. Here Is where the facile Mr. Shal
lenberger showed his ability to adjust him
self to any exigency that might arise at a
result of Mr. Bryan's frantic efforts to con.
trlve a bait that would catch votes.
Mr. Shallenberger, the story aays, delib
erately bought back the bank stock he had
sold at (2,000 more than he sold It for,
and again became a banker. This was for
the obvious purpose of being able to go be
fore the voters of Nebraska disguised as
a banker who advocated tha Bryanlo doc
trine of a bank guaranty.
Mr. Bryan is said to have paid very high
tribute to the skill and cunning of Mr. Shal
tenberger's political gymnastics.
The National Republican league Is meet
ing with marked success in lining up the
republican clubs of the. state. The object
Is by this means to keep the different cluhs
In touch with the national association and
thus be able to do more efficient work. The
organizers are busy all over the state, and
wherever they appear at a republican meet
ing they have little difficulty In having the
club join the national association. The
state organizer Is Franklin A. Bhotwell and
the officers are O. W. Wattles, president,
and Oeorge V. O'Neill, secretary. The or
ganizers are Abel V. Bhotwell, president 0
the Nebraska Taft league, C. N. McElfresh,
vice president of the Nebraska Taft league;
I'.awara . m. Slater, treasurer of the Ne
braska Taft league: C. I.. Waldron. aecre.
tary of the Nebraska Taft league, and

Omaha he will speak In Crelghton hall.

TAFT WILL CARRY COLORADO
This Is View of Albert D. Maxwell of
Denver.
Albert D. Maxwell of Denver, a former
Nebraskan, was In Omaha Friday on busi
ness. Discussing the political situation In
Colorado Mr. Maxwell said:
"I believe from my observation in travel
ing pretty well over the entire state of
Colorado that Mr. Taft will carry Colorado
without any trouble. There was a pretty
noisy Bryan sentiment along about na
tional convention time, but that has com
pletely died out. In some of the silver min
ing districts of the state there Is still a
tllckerlng Bryan sentiment, but It will take
a political cyclone to work it up Into any
sort of life. There are no cyclonic condi
tions manifest out there now that Bryan
can get any comfort from."

Thnmb Marks on Stationery.
According to ar Philadelphia stationer the
thumb mark is taking the place of the
monogram on note paper. "The thumb
mark." aays thla authority, "is engraved
In gold or sliver and has all the value of
a Bertlllon mark of identification. Some
people prefer to have the thumb mark
printed In red or blue, but the metal colors
are generally approved, it has several ad
vantages bealde tta novelty, familiarizing
one's friends with a personal sign manual
which cannot easily be duplicated. Many
of th thumb marks are also surprisingly
picturesque and it is not difficult for the
writer to annex a fresh thumb mark in
ink, and this can be compared with the
engraved mark when one wants to estab
lish the Identity of special writings." New

DASRELL SUES HEARST HERE
Oklahoma Governor Rles Action for
, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars.
CATCH HEABST ON PASSING TRAIN
Deputy Sheriff Breaks Into His State
room with Psper Suit Can
not Go to the Federal
Court.
Suit for $500,000 for alleged libel was filed
In the Douglna county district court late
Thursday night against William Randolph
Hearst, editor of a string of newspapers
and founder of the Independence party, by
Charles N. Haskell, governor of Oklahoma,
and until recently treasurer of W. J.
Bryan's national campaign committee. The
suit is based on a speech made by Mr.
Hearst at Memphis, Tenrj., September 19,
and published In Heurst's Chicago Ex
aminer September 20, In which Mr. Hearst
charged Haskell with being a tool of the
Standard Oil company.
Service was had in the case after a sen
satlonal assault on the door of the state
room which Mr. Hearst was occupylug
with his wife on the Overland Umited
from the west at 11:35 Thursday night.
When Deputy Sheriff Stewart, who had
the writ, knocked on the door and de
nufnded admittance, Mrs. Hearst replied
that Mr. Hearst was not In tha stuto room.
Deputy Sheriff Stewart broke the door
open by springing the lock and Mrs.
Heurst, partially disrobed, rushed out of
the state room into the aisle of the car
screaming. Mr. Hearst was not to be
seen. Whon Deputy Sheriff Stewart
started to force the door of the toilet Mr.
Hearst emerged and uccepted the paper
from the hands of the deputy sheriff. Mr.
Hearst raid he had first refused entrance
to the deputy sheriff because he ur.d Mrs.
Hearst were retiring.
Mo Similar Da manes Leaa.
The petition was drawn up In Kansas
City and It demands SMMOO alleged actual
damages to Mr. Haskell'B character and
3ti0,00i) punitive damages. The latter ltoni
of J3(i0,'Jti0 will have to be stricken out be
fore the case comes to trial, however, bo
cause under the Nebraska statutes puni
tive dam.iges cannot be allowed. The
statute provides specifically tiiat only ac
tual damages carj be recovered in a libel
tuit.
Smyth & 8rnlth and Schall appear n
Mr. Haskell's local attorneys, while James
A. Reed, Ralph F. Lozler and Virgil Conk
ling also signed the petition es attorneys.
There has been considerable discussion
among attorneys relative to the federal
pliust of tho suit and whether It can be
made a federal case on account of diverse
citizenship. There is a diversity of opinion
relative to the question of jurisdiction, but
this seems to have been settled negatively
by the I'nited States supreme court.
Goaa Cites Supreme Court.
Vr.lted States District Attorney (loss,
asked as to his opinion on this matter, said:
The question of Jurisdiction over a case
brought by a cltiren of one state agaln3l
a citizen of another state In a court of a
third state seems to be controlled by Kx
Parte Wlsner, 213 U. 8. 449. decided by the
supreme court of the United 8tates De
cember 10, 191.
"In the above case Abram C. Wlsner, a
citizen of Michigan, sued John D. Beards
ley, a citlsen of Louisiana, In the state
court of Missouri at Bt. Louis. The de
fendant filed his petition and bond for re
moval to the circuit court of the United
States. In that court the plaintiff made a
motion to remand the rase to the state
court and the motion waa denied. The
plaintiff thereupon brought an original
mandamus suit In the supreme court of the
United States to compel tha federal Judge
to remand the case to the state court of
Missouri, and the sufrciue court of tha
United States allowed the writ, holding
that under the Judiciary act 'an action
commenced in the state court by a citizen
of another stato against a nonresident de
fendant who Is a citlsen of a state other
than that of the plaintiff cannot be re
moved by the defendant Into the circuit
court of the United States.' "
TRY TO SETTLE HILL WILL
Heirs Make KfTort to Compromise
and Avert Threatened Contest
in Court.
Efforts to settle the threatened contest
of tho will of Lew W. Hill are being made
by tho heirs. County Judge Leslla has ad
mitted the will to probute after a hearing
at which Isaac E. Congdon, attorney for
L. 8. Hill, the aged brother, was present.
Mr. Congdon filed objections to the probata
and In cuso the compromise Is not reached
the case can still be contested In the dis
trict court. A trustee has not yet been
appointed, but it is believed all parties to
the suit will get together on some person
agreeable to all.
L. S. Hill objected to that feature of the
will, which provided the estate should be
held In trust for five years and then dis
tributed. As he la over 70 years of age this
provision might cut him out altogether In
case he should die before the five-year
period was up. Mr. Congdon said Filduy
In all probability, an amicable agreement
would be reached within the next three or
four days.
WELSH'S ICONOCLAST LATEST

But It Is lift exclusively to Welsh's Icon

Omaha Journalism, to handle weather exclusively.
The Iconoclast has been completely sub
sidized by the government, and anlde from
some few local references to the weather
of the Omaha' banana belt devotes most of
Its space to "What's the Matter With the
Weather In Kansas?" Then it proceeds
to tell the condition of the cinder bug
crop; how to make prickly pears and Ar
kansas river catflBh spineless. Not one
little, menaly word about Omaha bananas.
In fact, Nebraska Is treated with such ab
solute silence that It Is stifling.
The humorous department Is fairly good,
but It Is the humoroslty of a Salvation
Arrny funeral. Politics is eschewed except
as to the droughty feature of a Kansas

SLICK THIEVES OF JAPAN
Turn Smooth Trick in Stealing Shoes
from One's Feet and l.iftlna;
Watches.
An Englishman entered a flnt-class car
of one of the railroad trains that run be
tween Toklo and Yokohama. He was a
little red In the face and apparently ruffled
In temper. He had Just discovered that
his pocket had been picked in the station
and he exclaimed bitterly against thieves
in general and Japanese thieves in par
ticular. An American who had been engaged In
Yokohama for a number of years noticed
the Englishman's quandary. Turning to
him he said: "Our English friend seems
a little lilt excited. If he growls at having
his pocket picked what would he say it
he had the shoes stolen off his feet?"
"Th.Ut is clearly un impossibility," i
laughed.
"I don't know abrut that," lie returned.
"It may not happen with our western
style of shoes, button and lace, but all
tho fame I have hoard and I know It to
be a fact that the sandals of Japanese
have been stolen off their feet."
"Well, how Is It done?" I asked.
"Very simply," he answered. "Suppose a
Japanese woman who has a particularly
fine puir of laciiuered clogs !s one of 11
great ere wd that Is watching a passing
precession or a religious celebration of
priests in front of, a temple. Along comes
an expert pickpocket or pickfoot, I don't
krjow which you want to call him. His
keen eyes, fastened on the ground, dis
cover those desirable clogs.' ' Thereupon
he makes up Jils mind that ho wants
them.
"The first thing she knows the owner of
the clogs feel an unpleasant sensation In
her left foot. Naturally she wants to stop
It and quite mechanically and almost ab
sently she slips her light foot out of Us
clog and begins to scratch that uncom
fortable spot In her left foot with her
toes. She feels relieved. Forgetting: all
about the Incident, she becomes absorbed
In the spectacle again. Soon the Irritation
creeses over to a similar spot in her right
foot. Absently, once more, she slides her
left foot out of its clog and begins to
soothe the troublesome spot ' with her
toes." ,
"The thief was responsible for the Irri
tation and walked off with tha clogs," I
said.
"Certainly, the rascal caused the trouble
with a lilt of straw or wire," he returned.
"But one would think that the moment
the foot of the victim touched the ground
Its clog would be missed and the thief
would run the chance of being caught be
fore the second could bo stolen."
"Oh, that Is one of the clevorest parts of
the trick," explained my friend. "The
thief comes supplied with a pair of cheap
wooden clogs, costing but a few sen, and
the owner of the lacquered footgear goes
away with them and never Notices the dif
ference, at least not until it Is too late
to profit from the knowledge."
"Are Japanese thieves so very clever
then?" I naked.
"Oh, very, he returned. "Some time ago
I heard of ono of them who used to carry
1 handful of watch rings to fit Into the
steins of all sorts of watches that he might
lome by dishonestly. Once he lifted a
watch 011 a train and the owner, missing
It, but rst knowing who the thief wag,
set up a shout and had a policeman) sum
moned. The police, to satisfy the victim,
Insisted that every one in the train show
his watch. When the turn of the thief
came he drew out of his pocket th stolen
timepiece and Its original possessor, neit
ecognlzlng It on account of the changed
rlntf, missed an easy chance to regain his
lost property." Chicago News.
