What, I get out ot the race for gov-
err.orT Well, It would tnke more mule

this part of the country to pull mo out,
That was Mayor Dahlman' reply when
asked If he had withdrawn since the
declaration by Hitchcock that the was out
for the senate and the Implied statement
that all his forces would be thrown to
fhallenberger for the democratic nomina
tion for ' governor. '
Representative S.nk and W. H. Thompson
the "Little Olant," of Or and Island, are
In town. They came to talk with the
mayor about the democratic nominations
tor governor and senator, and It got out
that they came to "bolster Dahlman up."
"I haven't seen the boys yet," said the
mayor, "but they don't need to bolster mo
up I'm there to stick. It's all right for
them to come and talk matters with me;
I want to see them, but nobody needs to
put any ginger In me on that score.
"Tea, I understand F!"y Thompson is
going to run for senator and he'll make a
good race, too. Mr. Hitchcock will 'find
that neither he nor Bhallenberger Is going
to have the right-of-way."
Mr. Sink, who is the author of the nine
foot bed sheet law in this states gave it
out that he is for Dahlman for governor
and that lots of other democrats out his
way were. Just as they were for Thomp
son for senator, and Intimated that Br'r
Hitchcock and Br'r Shallenberger might
look for the hottest old fight they ever
heard of this fall. '
"Our ticket Is Thompson and Dahlman,"
says Representative Sink, "and we'll show
some people before we get through that it's
a pretty strong ticket." 1 '

Ed Creighton a ,
Chronic Juror
But He Does Not Seek the Distinc
tion Which Has Come to
Him So Often.
An acquaintance accosted Edward
Creighton in court room No. 1 in district
court, where a new Jury,, panel was being
convened. ...
'How do you like to be drawn on a
Jury?" Mr. Creighton was asked.
"They seem to be getting a habit of
drawing me," said the young man.
Mr. Creighton was two years ago on a
regular three weeks' venire, which John O.
Yelser succeeded ln having quashed as
Improperly drawn. A special venire was
then ordered and Sheriff Brallcy nabbed
every man of the regular venire. The
special venire, of course, had to serve not
only the three weeks, but all the rest of
the term.
Mr. Creighton bids fair to live up to all
ideals of citizenship so far aa jury service
la concerned.

Guatemala is the most louu.ouh of the
five republics, having a population of
nearly 2,000.000 souls. .Salvador is the only
other state with 1,000,000 people. Guatemala
has the densest population, with the ex-
ceptlon of Salvador, and Is the only one of
the republics with an export trade amount-
lng to more than 110,000. Quo u year. Coffee
Is Its principal article of export, al.hougi
tropical fruits, precious and dye-woods and
minerals add much to the total of the
things it has to sell.
There are time principal classes of peo-
pie in Guatemala the whites, who are
mainly Spaniards and Americans; the In-
dlans. who have maintained their racial
Integrlty through four centuries of white
domination, and the Ladlnos, who are a
kind of racial Jumble, with the blood of
three of the five great races of mankind
In their veins. The whites are exclusive
and are unpopular with the L-idinos. who
are in turn hated by the Indians. The
whiteB are cultured, but fond of ease and
luxury. The Ladlnos work, but the Indians
shirk as long as necessity will permit. The
latter refuse to be civilised and their main
way of making money Is by competing wltii
the little Guatemalan donkeys as freight
carriers.
Bands of Indians come into the cities
bearing all sorts of burdens on their backs
or heads. , They have a queer custom of
trotting like horses for long distances, keep
ing regular step as they go. One may be
carrying a cupboard, another a sofa, an
other a bureau, another a barrel and an
other a lot of chickens. Sometimes an In

Vainly Tries to Get License

A girl stood before the bar of juvenile
court. A slight figure shook with sobs;
tears streamed down her cheeks. Her age
was H, but she seemed not that old. There
was evident lack of proper nutrition and
physical development had not been speedy.
Some ailment had set its mark upon her
complexion. "
The child was in court because of the re
peated attempts of her mother to marry
her .to a youth named Edward Lear. A
mat?h-mak!ng instinct has pursued a
strange course ln the case of Mrs. Cora
McOrath of South Omaha as directed to

Mary.
Three times has the mother tried to se

the country has considerable elevation,

high plateaus some of the most pleasant
retslcns in the world.. .
The railroads of Guatemala have been
greatly improved In recent years. Formeily
when It became necessary to supply the
engine with water the crew and passen-
Bers had to form a bucket brigade from
an adiacent stream to the tender. Many
0f tho railroad men are from the states,
They ara well paid, but there are so many

MERCHANTS OF NEBRASKA
SOON COMING TO OMAHA
January 15 Openlnar Day for Winning
Refund of Hallroad Fare oa
Purchases of Merchandise.
Omaha Jobbers are preparing for the
coming of the merchants of the state. Be
ginning January 15, these merchants may
visit Omaha without expense for railroad
fare. The Omaha Jobbers' and Manufac
turers' association has arranged to refund
all railroad fares when 2 per cent of the
goods bought in Omaha equals the railroad
fare.
This plan was Inaugurated in 1909 and
has proven highly satisfactory to both
Jobber and buyer, bo much so that other
cities are adopting the plan. These rates
take the place of merchants' meetings, for
which the railroads granted certain ratea
which were good only on certain days. The
present plan will continue In operation
for three months, and is deviled to suit
the convenience of the retailers rather than
the railroads.
The only condition Imposed by the plan Is
that the. retailers take a receipt for their
fare and present the receipt at the office
of the association In the Chamber of Com
merce building. By the plan a merchant
must buy $1 worth of goods for each mile
he travels In going and coming In order to
get his fare back. It is not necessary,
however, to buy the goods from any one
house In ordiT to seoure th refund. Bo
long as the aggregate purchases from as
sociation members equal the amount the
refund will be made.
Omaha Jobbers and manufacturers are In
splendid condition to show and deliver
spring goods. That retailers appreciate
the Omaha market 1 shown by the in
crease of $22,000,000 Which was made last
year.
