"The robber' are probably not in Omaha now." The police are working; in close conjune- tioa ;.wtth the railway, post office and, ' Plnkerfow "detectives' srfid"" the "four'' corps of sleuths are sharing their Ideas and c!ue With each other. The police believe that the line of work they are now follow ing Is' nearer the right track than the others. 1 ' "Although the Identity of the three ban dits who worked with the leader Is un known to the officers, they insist that they con name the leader of the gang. They any he Is an old hand at the hold-up busi ness and has two partners now serving long terms for doing a Job with him, he having escaped capture. ' Descriptions and other Information con cerning the supposed leader of the hold-up gang have been sent to all police head quarters .throughout the country, and the Omaha officers expect that he will be ap prehended. . They say they feel certain that he will never be taken In Omaha, and has probably gone west to Denver or Ogden. Some of the officers hunting the Over land Limited ..tram robbers are Inclining strongly to the theory that they will not catch the bandits ' until they seek to dis pose of what booty they obtained In those seven mall aacks. "Everything about this hold-up Indicates it was done by old hands at the business, meii who. knew what they were about," said one of the officers on the trail. "They v left no marks. by which we could as much v as determine In what sort of a conveyance they . traveled, whether automobile or wagon, and they have gone as mysteriously as tbey came, but, nevertheless, we have one clue which we believe will yet work out and wf are strongly convinced that we hall' rapture the bandits.

I do not credit the story that the robbers are, in Chicago. I am still Inclined to think they are not far from Omaha. There is no doubt that we will get them sooner or later.

HE MAT BUN FOR SENATOR Geveraer aaalleabergrr Telia Reasaas Why He Haa Bees apeadlag Moaey Freely for Mile age Rooks. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Msy S.-(Special.)-Vhlle democratio politicians have been figuring on a combination of Shallenberger for gov ernor and W. H. Thompson of Grand Island for United States senator, Richard L. Metcalfe for senator. Mayor Dahlman for governor, or Victor Wilson for governor and Shallenberger for senator, and a half doxen other candidates In their effort to settle their Internal affairs without any funs and without having to sacrifice Mr. Bryan, there is one name which has not yet. been mentioned. He Is the man who on one occasion defeated Shallenberger for a nomination for governor; who felt the cold ateel of the double-cross two years later; who was once the candidate of two parties for governor and who on a second occasion, and then on a third occasion, was turned down by the democratic party; he Is the man who has a personal following in the party which every candidate so far mentioned will have to figure on before being successful. This man whom the democrats have been keeping In the back groundthat Is. the democratic leaders Is George W. Berge, he of antl-paes fame. He still carries with him the scars of the battle In which democracy's leaders threw the jagged cross Into his body. George TV. Berge Is to be reckoned with In the coming senatorial scrap among the democrats. At this time Mr. Berge, when asked the direct question when he would be a candidate for the senate, shook his head and replied: "I have spent some monye In polities and lots of time. I am now trying to practice law and attend to my private business. Be sides. It is too early to discuss candidates for the senate." But Mr. Berge did not say he would be a candidate If the time looked good next spring. He Just didn't like to talk about it. It might be the question brought up In his mnd some unpleasant recollections. It might have recalled to him the fact that, though, he has been the bell wether that led the popuullsts Into the democratio camp he and Tom Tibbie and both have felt the "sting of Ingratitude," of the lead era of that party!. But anyhow frienda of eGorge W. Berge will see to it that lie cuts some Ice In the matter of the selection of a democratic candidate for the senate. And It Is a pre diction to make that If Boss Bryan keeps his hands off and does not take him the the nomination, Mr. Berge will be shoved Into the race. In the meantime Tom Allen has not yet announced the name of the three candi dates for the supreme court which Mr. Bryan will permit to run. Judge Dean has on his petition the signatures of Judge Holcomb and Judge Sullivan who tried to get his calp when he was a candidate for appointment. Governor's Expense Aceoaat. While Governor Shallenberger has been criticised somewhat for spending so much money for mileage books some $ since he became the state's chief executive he has good and sufficient reason for hit actions. When he retired from office Gov ernor Sheldon left out of hla appropriation, in the traveling expense fund. 151.36. This money would lapse Into the treasury the last of August. Governor Shallenberger has spent only that money which would have gone back Into the treasury. The mileage books he has bought may last him for the entire two years which he will serve as governor. The public will then be brought face to face with the fact that Governor Shallenberger has left In his traveling expense fund, $1,000, the total amount the legislature appropriated. Of course, an Inspection of the records will show that Governor Shallenberger spent the money left on hand by Governor Sheldon for traveling expenses, but It will be a nice showing to malte It appear that the chief executive has spent nothing of his own appropriation for traveling. Gov ernor Sheldon had fl.600 appropriated for his traveling expenses and the last legls Isture sppropriated 11,000 for Governor Shallenberger, which will make altogether 11.661.36 for the present executive. Voucher No. 82.963, on file in the office of the state auditor, which Is a claim for 1200 for mileage books bought by the gov ernor from the Burlington, bears this state ment slgnert by George Junkln, secretary of state: "This voucher looks a little out of the proper course of business to me. but Inas much as the governor has full knowledge of the same, I do not feel that It la my duty to hold It up." Secretaries Pick Three. The Mate Board of Secretaries of the state Board of eH<h recommended for the health inspector the following physi cians: W. H. Wilson, present health in spector; F. B. Rlchter and S. C. Grimes, all of Lincoln. The governor may select the ehalth inspector from these recom mended or he may ask the board to make further endorreirente. Governor's Tailless" Cattle.

Sneaking of coffee, a nurse of Wilkes barre. Pa., writes: "I used to drink strong coffee myself, end suffered greatly from headaches and indigestion, "While on a vil to my brother I had a good chance to try Postum, for they drank It altogeher in place of ordinary coffee. After using Postum two weeks I found I was much benefitted and finally my headaches disappeared and also the in digestion. "Naturally I have since .used Postum among my patients, and have noticed a marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used. "I observe a curious fact about Postum used among mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk In cases where coffee Is in clined to dry It up, and where tea causes nervousness. "I find trouble In getting 'servants to make Poatum properly. They most always serve it before it hss been boiled long enough. It should be boiled If or SO min utes after boiling begins and served with cream, then It Is certainly a delicious bev erage.

Charles William, alias George Jacobs, who escaped from the penitentiary a few days ago, was captured near Waverly by a couple of farmer last night and brought back to his old home this morning. Wil liams seemed very much put out over his capture and the Interference of the farmers and presented a very crest-fallen appear ance when he reached town.
