Brian, state treasurer, filed his name to day as a candidate for the republican nomination for coriKrcws In the Third dis trict. Home weeks a no Mr. ISrlan said ho InUndid to become a candidate and since that lime ninny callers at the state house have expressed the uplnlon t hat he would receive the united support of the republican party Jn opposition to the present nmo ciatrc congressman and already they have (tot rf perfectlnn ao organization to boost for him. Mr. Prtsn has lived in Honn county for almost a quarter of a century and Is one of Nebraska's most progressive farmTs, having been one of the pioneers who worked his way to a competency along the corn rows, lie lias served as county commis sioner and county treasurer of Boone aounty and Is now completing his second term as state treasurer. As state treasurer Mr. Milan has In creased the, rate of Interest paid by the banks for state funds to 3 per cent from S and h has lfted the average Interest rate received by the state from other In vestments more than 1 per cent. Not only as state treasurer, but as a member of the Doard of Public Lands and Kuildlngs, the Board of Purchase and Sup plies, the State Hoard of Assessment and Kqualtzatlon and other boards, Mr. Brian lias won the respect of the various statti officers who belong to these boards and he has the reputation of Baying "yes" or "nn": to problems which are presented to him regardless of what may happen politic ally to hlnv In mother words, no state officer ever accused Mr. Brian of trying to "hedge" on any question. Brian's Platform. When asked about his platform, Mr Titian said: Should I succeed In getting the nom ination and being elected I will support Piesident Taft In his efforts to fulfill the pledges as promised by the last republican national platform. On questions other than platform pledges, I will In so far as they do not conflict, In my opinion, with the Interests of the people of the Third dis trict, be governed by the wishes of the president. In the absence of platform pledges or the known wishes of the presi dent I will use my best Judgement as a citizen of the Third district to vote for the measures which I believe will be beneficial to the people of the district. Should the tariff question be presented to congress during my Incumbency, 1 will be for the revision downward on all things that are to the interests of the greatest number of people whom 1 represent; I shall be for the progressive legislation at all times, that will be consistent with the Interests of the people of my district. Aa 1 have been a farmer all my life with the exception of four years as county treasurer of Boone county and four years as state treasurer, my Interests are Iden tical with the agricultural Interests upon which the Third district and the state de pend for Its prosperity In all Its lines of business. I believe that my knowledge of the needs of the farming element of the district will be sufficient to represent the ' district to the satisfaction of all the people who a-r dependent upon the farmers' prosperity,'' . ' --' Aefn'-of flf roanel!.' Thomas H. Pratt for many years city clerk of Lincoln and now member of the city council has been elected president of that body. Mr. Pratt spent most of the winter In Texas and recently made a trip to Oklahoma absorbing many ideas on city government and Improvements during his Journeyi aa well as picking up In health and looking after business affairs. One of the flrat acts of the council after the election of. Mr. Pratt was to grant permission to the Lincoln Qas company to construct a holder In East Lincoln with this proviso the holder must be hid be hind a clump of bushes or trees or some thing to hide It from the casual observer who chances that way. The holder Is not to be more than twenty-five feet high, and the fact that it Is to be hid behind some trees was a concession to the resi dents of that portion of the city who ob Jeoted to the noise Incidental to a gas holder. Hlaher Fraternal Rates. State Auditor Barton will recommend to the next legislature that a law be enacted which will Increase the rataa to be charged by fraternal Insurance companies. It' Is the opinion of Mr. Barton that in many Instances in Nebraska the fraternals are charging a rate which Is too low to Insure the beneficiaries that they will receive the amount of the policy, after a certain i time. When a company la started the rate Is usually made extremely low In order to insure a large membership, the auditor said. After running for a few years it Is found the low rate will not pay out so the rate la Increased. This forces many of the old ' members out and they are then unable to secure Insurance. The younger members whom the increase does not affect ma terially will stay In, only In time to repeat the performance of the old members. It Is to force the fraternals who are not dqlng ao to charge a rate which will In aura the policy holders absolute protection that Mr. Barton Intends to appeal to the legislators.

LITTLE CHANGE UP TO DATE i i i Several Minor Alterations Made from the Original Count of the ltmi lar Clerks anil Jndgrs of Election. Three election contests, fruit of the re cent South Omaha balloting, are in Joint progress in county court, which has taken on for the time the semblance of a pre cinct voting place after the election, the likeness being modified by the absence of the customary innumerable bad cigars. One republican and two democrats are con testing the official returns, which gave a place on the Board of Fire and Police Com missioners to John J. Ryan, republican, over T. J. Kelly, the vote standing 1.S77 to 1,75. The other contests are over seats in the city council, the Incumbents being P. P. Peterson from the Seventh ward and Au gust Miller from the Fifth, the contestants, who are democrats, being John Elliot and J. J. Lai kin. Larkin is arrayed against Miller. During the morning session of court the votes were counted from the First pre cinct of the First ward and but slight changes were, shown. Kelly had 177 votes here and the recount gave him tho same. Ryan, who had 140, gained two. Elliot, with 155 un the official returns, lost three on the recount In this precinct, and Miller, who had 190, dropped to 194. Larkin, on the first report, had 148 in this precinct. The recount gives him one more. Peterson drops from 199 to 197. Changes of only one or two were detected at the afternoon session and prospects of unseating any of the contestees do not yet appear good. It Is not likely that the vote counting will be ended before late Wednesday afternoon. While a number of attorneys are engaged. It Is not probable that there will be much time given to arguments unless more dis putable ballots show up. So far there has been little division upon how the ballots should be counted. Business Houses Boost Tax List Several Concerns Voluntarily Send In Larger Returns Than Last Year.

SAYS CHURCHPOWER WANES J a dare Balrd Gives Layman's View of the Pplplt Comments on Edo tlonal Inflnence. "The church needs to get back to Its original Inspiration," said Judge William Pa'td In an address btfore the Ministeiial union of Omaha on "A Layman's View of the Pulpit" Monday night. "The church needs to get Its power from the graces above and not from beneath, from God and not from man. "The argument that the world is getting better and that the church is regenerating and reforming, does not commend Itself to the observation or experience of hearers who are familiar with the spirit that rules In the political, social and business rela tions of life, and can hardly satisfy thoughtful members of the church In face of the prevailing Influence." Judge Balrd gave something of a fling at the schools of the country when he said: "While there are, no doubt .many causes which keep men from uniting with the church, I believe one of the most efficient causes is attributable to the rationalistic teachings of the educational institutions, which have affected both pew and pulpit to such an extent that the spiritual power of the church has been to a large extent neutralised."

He is now living In California. "Character has Just four phases," said Ir. Conley. "There are the moral, re ligious, social and mental aspects, of that which go to make up the man.

Scott, Harry W, Cowduroy and llanlcl llortignn, and Mr. Fanning las petitioned the district court to tell him to whlc'j claimant or claimants the money shall go. As a further sign of gcxid faith Fanning hod put up the money In court.

This work by Honignn and Cowduroy was to be worth twice 1343.38, and half the mcr.ey was paid over. For the other half Horrlgan and Scott have a little division of opinion as to respective Interests, and Cowduroy has complicated matters by claiming it all. Tho matter has already got Into Justice court, so Mr. Fanning in despair has put It up to district court.
