Owens with attempting to pass on him an
alleged worthless check.
The check, calling for $20, was drawn on
the First National bank' of this city, mad J
payable to Charles Owens and signed with
the name of James H. Ganert. Muccl's
suspicions were aroused and he declined to
cash tho check, upon which. It Is sald
Owens attempted to borrow a small - sum
on It at a nearby cigar atore. Failing to
Induce the proprietor of the cigar stcre
to advance anything on the check, Owens
returned to Muccl's place and again asked
Muccl to cash It. Officer Phlllbrook hap
' pcr.ed In the store at this time and on see

dropped tho check on the floor. Muccl
confided his suspicions to Officer Phil'.

BOLTERS MAY CAST VOTES
Feature of Senatorial Campaign in
State of Iowa.
1K1cS0WAT.TTTT? FIN ATX Y SLIP IN
Card Trared to I.aeey Men "eat jOnt
Damaaln- to Legislative Ticket
Labor Throaahoat State
In Line.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
tES MOINES, Oct. 26. (Special. )-An
Interesting feature of the political cam
paign In Iowa, which Is just coming to a
close. Is the peeullsr activity of the two
committees which are In charge of the j
senatorial campaign. Both have circularized
the state to secure the largest possible vote
of the republicans for senator and both
have Insisted at all times upon keeping tha
democrats from voting. Tet the law, as
a matter of fact, leaves It entirely to each
Individual voter to decide for himself which
party he wishes to affiliate with, and It
clearly contemplates that one voting the
republican senatorial ballot shall not be
deprived of his right to scratch the ticket.
The statement which the voter must slgni
before he votes at the senatorial primary
Is merely to the effect that he is a repub
lican and "It is my Intention to support
generally at this election the nominees of
such party," This wording was purposely
so constructed aa to permit the 30,000 or
40.000 republicans wiio bolted the ticket two
years ago to vote at this election without
having their position questioned.
The Cummins committee hs sent out
literature calling attention to the provi
sions of the law and Including the state
ment or request blanks, and also calling
attention to the fact that those who
scratched the ticket two years ago will
have the same rights as those who intend
the cards which were printed by the Lacey
committee While there will be no re
taliation. It is regarded as certain that this
violation of the truce will result In the
defeat of quite a number of the republican
candidates for the legislature.
Labor Men Are All Riant.
The republican state committee Insists
that thflre Is not the slightest cause for
alarm In the state and that Taft has a
walkaway. The only question has been as
to whether or not the voters would really
take interest In the campaign. All the
reports from meetings In the state the
last week Irdlcate that voters would really
up and are ready for the final contest at
the polls. Not as many meetings have
been held this year in Iowa as usual In
presidential years, but the state has been
fairly well covered. The laboring men are
In line and In this city they are arrang
Ing for a big rally the night before election
to be addressed by their friends.
On Gain for Republicans.
The mlxup In Scott county over a candi
date for the legislature on the part of the
democrats Is one gain for the republicans
sure. There are two members from Scott
county. In view of the enforcement of the
law In Scott county by Governor Cummins
and Attorney General Byers the county Is
not regarded as certainly democratic. Henry
Boettger had to withdraw as a democratic
candidate for the legislature, and this makes
It certain that Mr. Calderwood. former
member and a republican, will come back.
Tbe Boettger case came as a surprise. It
was proved that he was discharged from
the Guard company for having expressed
delight over the assassination of President
McKlnley, and this was too much for his
followers. It appears that at the time the
facts were not made public and only a few
knew of them.
Find Old Coanterrelt Money.
A peculiar discovery was made in an old
house near Corning last week. The house
was being torn down when a can fell down
from a place between the walls and the
contents disclosed that there were twelve
lead dollars and a number of counterfeit
smeller coins, with molds of plaster of
parls for the making of same. The latest
of the dates on the coins was 18M. and It fs
supposed they were made about that lime.
Nobody knows of any counterfeit money
In circulation in thut part of the state and
it Is a mystery why the molds and coin
were left there.
Primary Is Conclusive.
Both of these committees have sent out
large r.umherH of slips n which nre printed
the request blanks which voters must s'gn
in order to get the primary bullots. This
has been done In order thnt there may be
as large a vote at the primary as possible.
All the members of the legislature arc
pledged to accept the results of the pri
mary and to elect for both the short term
and the long term the candidate who gets
the largest number of votes. Hence all
are Interested in having n full vote.
Unfortunate Tarn to Campalca.
A very unfortunate turn was given the
campaign the last wdok by circulation
throughout the state of the campaign cards
of Major Lacey, to which was attached a
little yellow slip containing Just a few of
the many accusations which have been
made against Governor Cummins In the
various provioua compalgns. There had
been in understanding or truce entered
into at the outset of the campaign that
no personalities should be Indulged In and
that both candidates would run on their
merits. Immediately on the appearance of
the yellow slips the progressives all over
the state felt that the truce waa broken
and that bad faith had been shown. Major
I-ju-ey himself declared he knew nothing
of the origin of the slips. One of his local
managers also entered a disclaimer. The
slips were In fact printed in a neighbor
ing town and the printers declare that the
orders came from persons very much In
terested In the I.acey candidacy. At any
rate, the yellow slips are in general circu
lation over the state in connection with
great rejoicing among the farmers because
of the late rains.

for staying away from church. A check
room has been provided where the babies
are taken care of free of charge. Here
they are cuddled and rocked while their
parents listen In peace to an uninterrupted
sermon. The plan has met with a cordial
reception and the baby stable is well
patronized. Tho other churches are plan
ning to follow the lead of the Methodists.

MARSHALLTOWN While at work dlg
glug a well on his farm south of Trear
yesterday, John Bonewalts waa attacked by
a savage bull, which knocked him down
and gored him, breaking three of his ribs.
After knocking him down the animal rolled
him into a ditch, which probably saved Mr.
Bonewaits's life, for after getting him into
the ditch the bull tried to lie down and roll
on him. After the bull left the old gentle
loan managed to get to the house, but In the
excitement of the encounter he entirely
forgot his son, who was in the bottom of
the well digging and who wss left there,
unable to get out, all afternoon.

GARFIELD ANSWERS HASKELL
In Statement to Indians He gays Gov
ernor's Utterance Are Delib
erate Falsehoods.
Ml'SKOGEE, Okl., Oct. 16. A statement
was received here today at the office of
the commissioner of the Five Civilized
Tribes from the Interior department at
Washington, with instructions to publish
the smne for the information of the Osage
Nation, directly concerned, and the Five
Civilized Tribes. Incidentally nteresled, and
to take every necessary step to brng It to
the notice of the Individual Osage -Indians.
The statement ts an answer to Governor
Haskell's recent charges, for the Informa
tion of the Indiana of the Osage Nation,
and says:
"Governor Haskell's recent open letter to
the president charges that the president
acted unfairly to the Osage Indians In the
matter of fixing the royalty for the lease
of their oil lands to the Indian Territory
Illuminating Oil company. Governor Has-
I kell's statements are deliberate falsehoods;
nor iloes he suggest a possible remedy. As
his dlsregord of truth Is wilful, no reply
will be made to him personally, but Presi
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Garfield are
not willing that the Osage Indiana should
not know the truth about these matters,
in eirder thst they may not be deceived by
Governor Haskell's false statements. For
this reason they send to the Indians the
truth about each of the charges he makes."
The statement takea up Haskell's charges
In detail and analyzes them to show their
"deliberate untruth."
The statement concludes: "Haskell at
tempts, by deliberate and reiterated false
hood, to give the false Impression that he
Is championing the Interests of the Indians.
The department knows of but one matter
in which he hai shown a practle-al Interest
In Indian affairs, and this wss when he
procured nlnts of valuable township lands
front the Indians. 1110- methods of which
procurement are declared to be fraudulent
in suits filed against him and now pending
In courts to recover for the Indiana the
land which lie has thus procured."

cholera were reported In tills city for th
day ending Surday night. The slight In
crease in the spread of the disease Is
ascribed by the authorities to the msny
gatherings of th people on Baturday night
and Sunday and the leasts thst accom
panied these a.sembliea. The situation Is
not cdifidered to le grave and the health
department feels us though tl hss the epi
demic well under control, expressly no
alarm over the increase,
It is probable that the government lll
further restrict the gatherings of the na
tives and niso the salo of dangtrous foods.
It Is believed that the cock pits located In
the suburb cf the city, where It Is diffi
cult to maintain a strict watch over the
sklfc of foodstuffs, are responsible fur the
slight increase in the number of cholera
leases iv.'Kj ul lath week end.

Sonday Closing; taw.
OMAHA, Oct. 24. To the Kditor of The
Ree: Anent the Sunday closing law, onco
more brought to the fore by the late deci
sion of the supreme court.
Meny people have an Idea that this Is a
religious law, but it has no fouilatlon In
religion, further than this: I.ong ngo
civilised people recognized as a soclologlc.il
prop'rltlon that some period of relaxation,
if not absolutely necessary, was at least
highly beneficial to mankind, and they
commenced to pass laws on the subject.
Inasmuch ns Sunday, nnd Saturday, were
week ends, ami also observed by a ma
jority of the people either from religious
motives r as matterr of convenience it
would have been unnatural to have selected
cry other days. Now all civilized countries
have these regulations in some form.
I'ndor fjrmer decisions of our supreme
court base bull Is barred under the sport
ing clause. Highballs are tabooed by Ihc
Slocumb law. Rioting, quarreling, hunting
and fishing are especially prohibited. We
can do our hunting nnd fishing some other
day of the week, and rioting and quarrel
ing can be pulled off Siturday night. Now
by Its last decision running cigar stores
and barber shops are designated as com
mon labor. We are no longer confronted
by a theory, but by a condition and here
are aomo of the things that might and un
doubtedly will happen as the law now
! stands:
Klrst street cats may be stopped. Wc
won't miss them much, for ss we ecu
neither work ror play wo won't need to
go anywhere. Newsboys will not be hurt
much, for there will be no papers to sell.
Sundsy papers, mostly prepared Saturday
night, and Monday papers, mostly pre.
pared Sundt y night, will be shut off.
Janitors' work will be suspended and th.
few people who live In walking distance
of the churches can carry their own wann
ing pans, and the services will be roilnr
dull, for there will be irj wind for thr
organ. The sweet chimes of Trinity ca
thcdral may ring nut as usual on Hund-iy.
providing the machinery Is fixed Saturday
night so It will go off automatlcHlly. WV
cannot drive out. for livery s'ablcs will
be closed, except for funeraln where the
chief Ingredient is a pauper, burled by
charity, or so dead that it is neoessar)
to bury him on Sunday. Tiavelers un
fortunately caught In Omaha on Sundiy
will have to can. their own luting'
between the hotels and depots, and we
will have to watch our children, for if
our little girls, with laughing eyrs and
romping curls, rosy cheeks and teelh like
pearls, should chase the festive Initterf y
across the rialsy-spangled sward they
I might be "lit" on by some of Sheriff
I Bralley's or Chief Donohuc'a minimis and
patroled to Jail to answer the chargo of
"sporting." Judge Crawford might feel
leniently disposed and make it i and
coats', or they might be taken to the De
tention home and Judge Kstelle of Ihe
Juvenile court could either send them ti
Geneva cr psrole them to some law-uh'd-Ing
family who would see that they wen
properly rslsed. A few of us nmro adroit
anl hardened sinners might enjoy a qu!el
game of penochle in the cel'ar by keeping
a trusty sentry on the front poich and
another In the alley to give limply warn
ing of the approach of anything that may
be a sleuth In plain clothes. We couldn't
blame the officers, either, tiecause unde
tl. Sackett law they could be impeached
f.v failure to enforce the law.
Tes, we are pretty well fixed for law.
but we really ought to have one more.
We should have a law providing for the
punishment of all cltlxcna who fail and
neglect to proceed agslnst the officers fjr

Rl'SHVILLE. Neb., Oct. 25.-TO the
Editor of The Bc: In The Bee of October
21 appears a communication from ona C.
II: Cornell of Valentine. In this communi
cation Mr. Cornell, as usual for him In
political matters, is guilty of the grossest
misrepresentation and falsehood.
At the time mentioned I wns holding a
session of court at Valentine and took a
recess for Mr. Shallcnberger's meeting In
the afternoon. Some time prior to the
meeting some persot. had p sted lithographs
of Taft nnd Sherman high up on the wall
of the court room. These pictures re
mained there during thr entire meeting and
Cornell knows this because h was present.
After the meeting was over I directed tho
Bherlff to remove the pictures and to rt
permit any pictures, embkms or mottoes
of any political party to be put uion the
wnllH of the court room.
This has been my rule In this district for
twelve yearn and applies to all parties, and
Mr. Cornell ts fully advised of the rule.
If Mr. Cornell was us well known In
other cciuntics of tills district as he Is in
Cherry county I would pay tin attention
to this matter.
Mr. Cornell as n calamity howler Is not
h tuccess where he Is known. Last fall
he ndviKcd and entreated the republicans
uf his county not to vote for inn for Judge,
yi t in spile cf his advice and entreaties
more than .K of them did so, and will do
the same thU year. W. II. WESTOVER.

CENTRAL
Florida
M
older countries certain restrictions are made
regarding new buildings. Here a man builds
almost anything on any part of his lot. pro
vided only he conforms to the fire ordi
nance:. It would seem that the maintenance of a
lot building line ten, twenty or thirty fo
back from the sidewalk is the proper solu
tion for much of our irregular building and
would abate the nuisance of the corner
drug store and grocery, and also the "Get
much for little man," who uses every
square foot of his corner lot for building,
puts his neighbor's lot on both sides of him
In the pocket and makes an unsightly block
to satisfy his greed for a few dollars. Why
should a man be allowed thus to cause a
much larger depredation In other property,
value than he himself is benefited thereby? '
As we go up West Farnam we notice a
largo signboard offering to build store '
buildings for rent, and we understand, a'
little farther up the hill (Thirty-fourth and;
Farnam) a party has purchased ground for
the erection of a douhbi building for gro. 1
eery and feed store. Cannot something be
done to stop this despoiling of our best real- I
dence districts before It Is too lute?
The people In our residence districts are
not desirous that tho store be located at
their doors, and we hear no complulnt from .
storekeepers delivering so far out.
Let us not. for the future good of Our city,
permit this thing to go on. Very truly,
