(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Juno U. (Special.) I. H.
Hatfield, who hus taken charge of the
ill y an campaign (or the senate, said today
tl.ut l.e expects no trouble In getting
thousands of sinners to the petitions hi
Is now sending out. He sent out petitions
to individuals only yesterday with another
big batch today, but seveial duya ao he
sent thorn to all the demooiatlc papers In
' the state. From muny ot the editors, he
said, he had received letters endorsing the
proposition and agreeing to do all they
could to secure signers. The mure demo
crats on the petitions the mora chance
there Is fur Mr. Bryan to get Into the
running, so during the next lew days, a
great hunt will be made through the corn
fields to get names.
Victor Wilson and Representative Evans
hav secured petitions to circulate In
York county, having thoroughly covered
Hamilton and folk. The mree men who
are heading the petition work are certain
that Mr. Bryan will make the race when
the petitions are filed and it is thulr
Intention to secure a sufficient number of
signers to insure his nomination at the
liamlb of the democratic party to make
It unnecessary for Mr. Hitchcock, Mr.
Price and Mr. Heed to spend any more
money in their campaign. The democrats
have never cast more than 46,000 votes
in their primary elections and Victor Wil
son said It would be no trick at all to
get b0,OUO democrats to sign a Bryan
petition, but It is figured that even 26,000
signers would settle the question if there
was any douM about who would get the
nomination.
Mr. Bryan dW not send a letter to the
Central City banquet so the democratic
state committee did not have to snub him
there, as had been done at Beaver City
aiid Kearney.
Durlluaton Asks for ItehMrlsz,
J. K. Kelby, counsel for the Burlington
railroad, has filed with the State 1 tall way
commission a motion tor. a rehearing on
the order recently issued to compel the
Uurlington to reduce grain rates from cer
tain towns to Omaha to conform to the
fates to Kansas City. This has held up
the order for thirty days, so it will not go
into effect June 26.
Mr. Kelby sets up that It was alleged
In tho complaint that the railroad was dis
criminating in favor of Kansas City
against Omaha, but that the commission
did not so find. Instead, he says, the com-
mission announced that the rales charged
to Omaha from these towns were unrea
sonable and for that reason ordered the
reduction. The unreasonableness of the
rates was not complained of in the peti
tion, the attorney says, and for that rea
son tho commission was compelled to go
outside of the record and evidence in order
to make the order it did.
Charges A va lust Belt Line.
C K. Wager; assistant general freight
agent of the Missouri Pacific lias been
requested to appear before tho railway
commission Monday and explain his action
lu changing his switching rates on the
Omaha cBlt line without the authority from
the commission. I tls alleged that re
cently the Missouri Pacific notified the
other railroads that it would no longer ac
' oept cars at team tracks and that in some
Instances cars for switching would not be
accented at all. It Is also alleged that
the company has discriminated between the
Industries constructed along Its tracks. The
matter will be gone into thoroughly next
Monday.
Jacluion Piles for Saitertatradeat.
W. It. Jackson of University Place has
(lied his name with the secretary of state
by petition for the democratic nomination
for state superintendent. Mr. Juckson was
State superintendent from 1MM to 1900 and
recently applied for the position of principal
f the Stae Normal school at Chadron.
Several other prospective applicants for
this position are holding back until State
(superintendent Bishop formally accepts the
pos.tion tendered htm lit luwu before they

acceptance of the Iowa offer the first of

Usyor C. M. Hurltmrt of Falrbury has
asked the governor to remove from office
aunty Attorney F. L. Rain of Jefferson
iiimi v.' In his comnlaint filed with the
