OMAfiA ELECTION IN TALL
y)qcUcT&t$ Plan to Avert Storm -Aris-
'Mr fmm Tm'ilifnM ' '
iirSj&AT.
PATE THE POPULAU WEATH
oasSKeaIlse that If Tkelr Plans
'.to ' Corporation ' RibnrTlnr
Carry Tkr Dr Not Faeo
- People Soon.
Drnn with the thought of power, but not
so drudk that 'they do not realise tha dan'
ger 'c2f k day of reckoning, Oemocrstlo leg
islative tinkers have determined to bo ad'
just tha Omaha city charter as to post
pone the city election from spring until
fall In 1908."
So far. as present arrangements go this
Is settled on. Frank Ransom has been se
lected to draw up the Omaha charter bill
and Colonel Ransom's measure will. If
present plans are carried, out, deftly Juggle
things so that no democrat will have to
hazard "his political future upon so perilous
a thing -as facing the people at the polls
In tha.aprlng.
The fact. Is simply this: These hungry
pap seekers realise now that carrying out
their present legislative plans will place
laws ort the statute books that would make
positively certain the overwhelming defeat
of any. democrat who dared run for office
In the spring. They figure that by nil the
fire of publlo wrath might be cooled down
to such an extent that running for office
would be a less dangerous undertaking
Besides they could not well contrive an ex
cum for placing the Omaha city election
any further In the future than the fall of
lt.
Thus the sealp of Mayor Jim may not
come off for several months more. Thus
the rtty councllmen whose record has mad
voters impatient for the cuance to get a
them may be spared the political axe
miie wnue longer, nut what these men
nave aone in omee to merit public scorn
Is nothing to what they will have to face
by the time legislature adjourns, so in
wise ones now realise. It :s conceded by
those on the Inside that Nebraskn'a legis
lature of 19(4 will be the most wide-open
proposition that has been In the state house
, since the fusion rule of old.
Can Bryan Swing; It.
Bo fsr as Mr. Bryan curbicg any th
tendencies of this legislature is concerned
the Ransom-Howell-corporation crowd
smile at the thought. The only fear that '
seems to beset them Is th,at they 'may not
be. able .to control the country delegations,
that If the Omaha bunch measures swords
with Bryan -Je-may be ble-to "reach ihe
members from thecountry nnd thus thwart
the. city crowd and still .control the e
slon. " In such an event some of the neafly
laid Omaha plans might come to. naught.
But one thing Is certain, now Bhllcn-
bcrger Is with the Omaha crowd as op
posed to Uryan. He has betn told that
you know who elected you," and; It Is
understood, has given every assurance that
he will stand hitched. The governor-elect,
In a very pleasant mood the other night nt
one of the Unco In hotels, gave out such
In Inference.
But Shallenberger's loyalty to the cor
porations and disloyalty to Mr. Bryan I
nothing new, according to the word of su
high an authority as Mayor James Charles
Dahlman of Omaha. It was during the
recent primary election campaign In
Omaha that Colonel Dahlman declared
from the stump that Shallenberger was a
"trimmer," "four-flusher," and last, but
not least, "has alwnya been ngainst Mr.
Bryan."- and "was In the gang that sold
out Mr. Bryan before and ho will do it
again." "
With these Impassioned utterances of the
eloquent Oowbay mayor so fresh In mind
there Is no great surprise now in the dis
closure that the- governor-elect will stand
with the Ransom-Howell crowd as ngainst
Mr. Bryan.

PUBLICITY BUBBLE BURSTS
Local Democrats - Fails to Disclose
Names of Contributors.
OFFICIAL EEP0RT DOES NOT SHOW
Despite All Mr. Bryan's Fiend In- for
Frank Disclosures Treasurer of
Local Committee Keeps
It Dark.
In spite of the declaration in the demo
cratic platform for publicity of campaign
contributions and the earnest plea made
by William Jennings Bryan ihat the books
of campaign committees be thrown open
to the public, the local democratic county
committee has evidently not been Im
pressed with the desirability of allowing
the publlo to know who contributed the
money to run the local campaign,
Lee Bridges, treasurer of the county com
mittee, has filed his statement of receipts
and expenditures with the county clerk,
hut he Iihs forgotten to Include a list of
contributors. He falls to answer the ques
tion asked so often during the campaign.
Where did you get it?" and bunches all
'ho contributions Into one lump sum and
says the total receipts of the committee
amounted to 12,248.6.). The disbursements
are divided Into five subheads and they
amount to 12,227.67, leaving a balance of
ZM still In the treasury.

DID NOT SWALLOW HIS TEETH
Sleepy Toorlst at Bnrling-ton Depot
Becomes Agitated Over Fear . 1
y of Thla Accident.
Here Is a story with a moral. .
Thursday afternoon an Individual wear
ing a heavy overcoat and a broad smile
wnndered Into the Burlington station and
made his way uncertainly to one of the,
s ata.
A quarter of an hour later he was sound
asleep. The long neck of a suspicious-look
ing bottle protruded from one of his over
coat pockets as he slept.
A few hours later tl e man with the bottle
asked the station master:
"MlBter, will you please send for a doc
tor at once?"
The man appeared to be thoroughly
alarmed.
The stationmaster assjred him that he
would send for a doctor if his scivli es were
needed and asked what the trouble mlht
be.
'I have swallowed my teeth, and as
proof of the statement he exhibited his
bare gumbo to the stailonmusier'a gne.
The latter pointed out the Impossibility
of swallowing a whole set of false teeth,
but the wooalebug and his bottle were ob
durate.
Send for a doctor, send for a doctor; I
know I swallowed them. Why, I can even
feel them."
A hasty examination disclosed the teeth
huddled up In one corner under the seat.
The owner snatched them from the station-
master's hand, looked doubtful, felt care
fully of his abdomen a second time and
wobbled out of the station.
CITY HALL BOILERS ARE BAD
Rome Measures Promised that Will
Save the Bnlldlnc from Se

Councilman Lee Bridges, chairman of the
committee on public property and build
ings, and City Boiler Inspector Robert U.
Wolfe Inspected the boilers and the pumps
in the basement of the city hall Friday
morning and say something will now be
done to check the wrecking of the build
ing. Just what will be done, the officials
havo not as yet decided upon, but either
the old pumps will be fixed or new ones
bought. It ia also quite probable that elec
tric elevators will be Installed. The old
pumps are pounding as hard as ever and
can be heard on the third floor of the
city building.
