By the grace of his excellency J. Charles Dahtman, mayor of Omaha, today will be a legal holiday for all democrats resid ing In the city and holding allegiance to "his honor." For today Is the day of the long heralded and twice deferred picnic of the Dahlman Democracy club. Rain or shine, the picnic will be held this time, announces the mayor, who places great confidence in a committee on the weather, which reports "fair" for Saturday. The picnic was to have been held July 5, but it rained. Then it was to have been held July 18. but again It rained. Some loyal Jims thought the fates were against them, but Harry Hay ward said the trouble was that committees had been appointed on everything but the weather and good weather could not be expected without a weather committee. Such a committee was then appointed and it Is this committee which sanctions the Saturday picnic. Also, Local Weather Forecaster Welsh announces "fair and cooler" for Saturday. Many and great will be the "stunts" at the Jim picnic which will be held at Sey mour lake park all day, even continuing after g o'clock In the evening. Boss Flynn says that all the events will be headliners, but th mayor will lay claim to be the drawing card, though honors may have to b divided with Comptroller Lobeclc May Talk Loral Option. Th mayor and the comptroller, both candidates for governor, will debate on the liquor question. That is, they mill debate If th comptroller accepta th challenge of th mayor. Should the debate materialise the mayor will talk against county option and Mr. Lobeck will favor It. The comp troller has not aa yet accepted the chal lenge, but If he does he nlll nut leave the decision to his auditors for they will be Jims. Next to the debate in point of Interest will be a tug-of-ar between th six te- publlcan and the six democratic council men. There are some husky men on both sides, though the democrats will line up with more muscle than the republicans. Councilman Sheldon, formerly athletic di rector at the Young Men's Christian asso ciation, and Councilman Funkhouser, formerly a league ba.se ball player, will head the democrats In the contest for strength, while Louis Burmester and Fred Schroeder, both strong young men, will be put at the head of the republican column. Other athletic events will Include foot races for public officials, bald-headed men, boys, girls and women, the events to be twelve in number. Joe Butler and Charley Wlthnell will engage in a boxing match with Colonel Berryman, secretary of the Jacks, as referee. The Dahlman rifles will also give an exhibition drill. Addresses will be delivered by Mayor Dahlman, Harry B. Fleharty and Judge Oldham of Kearney. At tonight's meeting of the club the Jlmj will make final arrangements for the picnic.

The county commissioners ar consider ing the advisability of dropping the suits against Frank A. Broadwell, former clerk of the district court, for uncollected fees. In 1906 suits were filed against Broad well as clerk and against D. V. Vlnson haler as county Judge for fees earned in their offices, but never collected. Tho suit against Judge Vinsonhaler was tried and lost by the county and the petition against Broadwell has not been brought up. The amount Involved is nearly 110,000, which was earned by the clerk's office during eight years, or two terms. Since the incumbency of Robert Smith the office has been run on a cash basis and all fees are collected and turned over to the treasury as earned. F. 8. Howell was employed as a special attorney to fight the cases and the suits were expected to settle the points as to whether the of fices of the county are responsible for fees as soon as earned or only when actually realized. The matter Is expected to come up for consideration before the committee of the whole and the county attorney has been axked to give an opinion as to the possibil ity of dropping the suits.
