More Nonpartisan
Work in Practice
Effect of Democratic Effort to Get
Offices en One State In
stitution. (Frews a Staff Corresnenoent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 11. fpeelJ.)-Th action
of tb late democratic "nonpartisan" legts
latura In passing a law creating a board to
control the Heme of tee Friendless and
taking from the State Hoard of Public
Lands and Buildings that authority', has re
sulted in discontent, back-biting and
naturally, suffering for the Inmates.
Rv. Mr. Watherly, a member of th
bosrd eppointed by Governor Shallenberger,
has taken it upon himself, so It Is reported
to the state board, to spend most of hi
time at the horns superintending tb work
of the superintendent end countermanding
her orders when they do net suit htm.
The other day it wss reported to the
board that Mrs. Marks, the superintendent.
also appointed by the governor, discharged
some of the employe because their work
did not suit her. Straightway her order
was countermanded and the discharged em
ployes are still at work. It was even re
ported to the state board that Rev, Mr.
Weatherly objected to the way the chil
dren were fed In the home and gave In
structions himself regarding their milk.
Until the governor gets back no one hao
any authority to interfere and step the
fight between these democrats and It goes
merrily on.
Th state beard was drawn Into th affair
by reason of th need of a boiler at th
home. The law which gave the control of
the Institution Into th hand of a Snellen
beraer democratic board did net take from
the State Board of Public Lands and Build-
lugs the right to control the ground and
buildings. The attorney general aaya tt is
the right of th board t buy the boiler ui
to make Improvements In ths home, but
the slat treasurer believes the board
should keep Us handa off ind let tbe board
of control do the best It can.

around trying to make the fair name of
Music a byword and a slander.
Sam Caldwell and Billy Wood had a hur
ried consultation and decided 'hat the
crowd had nerved Itself sufficiently to see
another polo match. Thia one as be
tween the Centaurs snd the French Zou
aves. They all came trotting onto the
field astride of cute little bobby horses.
These hobby horses were a brilliant Idea
for whenever a player lost his polo stick
he could break off his horse's lath tall
and use that. The Frenchmen made two
goals and killed seventeen hobby horses.
Scudder of Doniphan stepped on his horse's
tail and was promptly fallen over by
three players In the mad rush. Then
somebody took his horse under lis arm
and ran away with the ball and that called
the game off.
Next Senor Benjos Cotton, a stately hero
with one eleeve pinned pathetically strofs
his breast, marched in followed by a cage
full of raging beasts. They all obeyed
beautifully until the trainer turned his
bark and told them to go through a march
without commands. It took several trusty
plumbers to get Cotton out of th dust
when those animals got through with their
march. He was the old stampin' ground.
When they were getting back into the
wagon the poor Salamander, accused of
being Herb Kohn, lost his head, literally,
and crawled In under' the big black bear
so that his family on the side lines would
not witness his disgrace.

They finally got the ball through a goal
by both teams trying for the same one,
and Ced Potter distinguished himself both
In the number of times he fell off his
horse and by bta success in hampering
the ball. Following this match an English
cavalry drill, imported at the special re
quest of Con Young, was sent out upon
ths field. John Barton was commander and
flourished a huge wooden sword. He had
his sword when the drill was over because
he rode a horse. The privates of his com
pany finished with their fingers full of
t-pllnters and no swords. They were riding
mules.
"Lead us In a wild charge." urged Sher
man, who rode a small and very innocent
burro and the captain charged. One man
had got safely under way by the time they
had to be shooed off the field to make
way for the next polo match.
Real ponies, of different and indifferent
speed possibilities were the feature of the
next match between the Sioux Indians and
the Japs. Billy Warfield and Cub Potter
rode around as if they might have seen a
saddle before. Poor Drutnmond Jones
tried three horses and several mules and
got a mount that could balance him on its
back just In time for the last scrimmage.
Then came the great endurance race
scheduled to be from Omaha to Grand
Island. Grand Island Is probably a sleepy
town. There seemed to be no other expla

The bull fight wa reserved for the last.
Well It was, for the weak nerved spectators
had all gone home and the crowds that
were left were all hardened for the butch
ery. An Andulaslan bull known to Us fam
ily as Lieutenant Ware, that had been
fasted for forty years, was loosed Into the
arena. The plcadores worried him and the
toreadors fooled around until he chased
them out of the ring. B. W. Capon, one
of the plcadores fell when his horse was
gored, and got under the Infuriated ani
mal's hoofs. Without fear or tv thought for
their own safety, Harry Koch and J. T.
Kelley snatched him from under the bull's
nose and took him on a stretcher to the
aide lines whete they dumped him Into a
ditch. Dr. Van Camp, chief veterinarian,
was there but disdained to treat a human
being. The matador, handsome as a god
and bold as a lion, known in street clothes
as Paul Beaton, advanced upon the bull
ana, waving a red rag In his face, stuck
him under the fifth rib. Th carcass,
crowned with a wreath, was carried away
on the stretchei and the matador was
wildly applauded.
The barbaric holiday was a great success
and if anybody was killed it had not been
discovered up to a late houc. Omaha and
the game of polo have been Introduced. It
Is doubtful if eUher will seek further ac
quaintance. The gime is too dangerous
for thts part of tne country.
