Dr. Doty does not fear greatly the tntrj

and also one at Bremen. These officers
work in conjunction with the German au

Besides this, the German sanitary officers
make very strict examinations when pas

cross the German border.

detailed bill of health which gives the
local officers a good idea of the peoplo

done In the way of observation and exterm

future modern quarantine that such pre

LINCOLN, Sept. 4. (Special.) Mayor
Dalilman will have a busy day when he

tunvassiiig hoard reconvenes in the morn

doivn In Doun'as county on Tuesday on
the recount asked for there, and In the
afternoon he K'ns to the state fair to
speak.
If the court's decision Is In favor of the
recount, then it Is possible the canvassing
board will do nothing for two weeks or
more, as one or two members of the board
will be absent for ten days or two weeks.
If the court decides against the recount,
there will be nothing for the board to do
but to let Its action of Saturday stand,
though tho governor ami attorney general
may then be Induced to sign the certifi
cate. Governor Shallenbergcr, however, Is not
expected to erase his efforts to secure the
democratic nomination by an unfavorable
court decision In Douglas county. He Inti
mated at the meeting of the canvassing
board Saturday that he had other cards to
play, but he did not say what they were.
The secretary of state does not certify out
the nutne of the nominees to the various
county clerks until fourteen days before
election, so t lie executive has until that
time to enjoin the secretary from certify

cratic nominee.
Considerable politics will be mixed up at
the state fair, as both the republicans and
the democrats will have headquarters on

by a system of backfiring.
Several men were killed near the Pen

While Suit Was Being Pressed
What Did the Colonel Do?
When T. R. came to visit us and thrilj
our drooping hearts he showed himself
to e a man of most engaging parts. The
clothes he wore from constant use became
a trifle mussed and someone thought the
colonel might feel a little fussed. So Victor
R. and Charley P. and G. D. all agreed to
have the colonel's clothes all pressed before
he went to feed.
"But," said the colonel, "here's the rub,
Just this one suit have I; these are my only
clothes and that's no Ananias lie." Alas,
alack what could they do for no one dared
to say, "The colonel may wear my best
clothes while his pants are away." The
citizens who slaved to make the colonel's
stay a Joy could not dismiss It from their
minds, that one fact did annoy, the colonel's
suit had not been creased, the tails ware
all awry. It was a bitter, bitter thought,
they could not pass It by.
POSSIBILITY HE WILL DECLINE
Tendency Among Warring Leaders is
to Wait His Word.
HEARST IS FLY IN OINTMENT
Prediction He Will He Foand Dark
of Sulser, Who Una Notion to Hon
Independently If Falls of
Nomination.
NEW YORK, Sept 4.-Special Telegram.)
Democrats have been so busy watching
the factional fights In the republican party
and preparing a largo casket for Us burial
this fall that they have become blind to
their own troubles.
The air has been so full of cries of "No
compromise," "Direct nominations," "Old
guard'' and "Progressive" that the demo
crats have failed to observe the gathering
clouds marking the storm In their own
state.
The democratic feeling may be summed
up this way:
"If Mayor Gaynor recovers his health he
will be nominated for governor by acclama
tion and sweep the state."
Little consideration has been "given to
the strong possibility that Mr. Gaynor may
not consent to run. Publicly his every ut
terance has been against leaving the city
hall for Albany.
The present tendency . among . the demo
cratic leaders, both in this city and up
state, is to wait for a sign from the mayor.
There is no doubt that he can- have the
nomination If he wants It. Assuming that
he consents to become a candidate, dem
ocrats are asking themselvea what W. R.
Hearst will do. Can he be brought to sup
port Gaynor, or will he nominate a com
plete state ticket of his own, as his fol
lowers Bay he will, and crlpplo the demo
cratic chances of success? Congressman
William Sulxer Is another of the demo
cratic troubles. Sulzer Is out for the nom
ination. He has been after It for years.
Several times It has been within his grasp,
when he has been called off by Charles F.
Murphy and Informed that he was to re
turn to Washington.
"Either Sulzer will be nominated this
year or he will run Independently," his
friends say. They predict that back of Sul
zer will be William R. Hearst and his or
ganization. Up-state they are talking
about Congressman James 8, Havens, who
beat George W. Aldiidge for congress;
Thomas Jdott Osborne,' organizer, of of the
Democratic, State league, and D. Cady Her
rick. New York democrats talk of Edward M.
Shepard. These four are backed by the con
servative element
The situation, however, is In the palm of
Mayor Gaynor's hand.

Reaches Fargo
Tries to Provide for a Day of Rest,
but Insistent Crowds Keep Him
Busy Speaking.
FARGO, N. D.. Sept. 4. After an all-day
ride through parts of South Dakota, Min
nesota and North Dakota, ex-President
Roosevelt reached Fargo early this eve'n
lng. The people of Fargo were waiting at
the station for him and gave him a wel
come In spite of the fact that it was Sun
day. Colonel Roosevelt had made all his
plans fo ra large number of days on the
train, and it was after midnight when he
got to bed last night
Friends of Colonel Roosevelt who have
been traveling with him on his western
trip have been astonished at his endurance.
But last night he admitted that he was
tired, lie Instructed his secretary to send
telegrams to the towns through which he
was to pass today, saying, as It was Sun
day, he would make no speeches whatever
from the train. That done, the colonel vet
tied down In his private car to realize his
visions of a day of rest
The special train scooted across the east
ern edge of South RDakota and Into Minne
sota and for the first hours of the morning
Colonel Roosevelt enjoyed himself sitting
In an easy chair. Then the engineer tooted
one long blast with the whistle and slowed
down for Marshall, the first stop. Col
onel Roosevelt continued to read his book.
There was a shout outside, and he finally
capitulated, making speeches all along the
line.

Sharp Tremor Felt In Island of

Mornlnc Hours.
PORT DE FRANCE, Martinique, Sept. 4.
A sharp earthquake shock was felt here
at 8.30 o'clock this morning.
But when the colonel once again appeared
upon the scene the clothes he wore were
slick enough to turn Beau Brummel green.
No creases there were out of place, no
buttons there were loose, the suit had had a
session with a red hot tailor's goose. The
citizens were much surprised and one man
murmured: "Who can tell me while the
clothes were pressed what did the colonel

they thought and thlnked and thunft, and
none of them were crazy and none of them
were drunk, but none of them could figure
out how Teddy took a chance, and spent nn

What did he wear? How did he look? Or
did he go to bed? Was there a bathrobe

NEW ENGLAND POLITICS HOT
Campaigns in Four States Show Some
Very Unique Features.
LOCAL CONDITIONS GOVERN MAINE
Factional Differences and the Liquor
Question Endanarer Republican Sue
cess In Massachuaette Dem
ocrata Are In Tannic.
BOSTON, Sept. 4. (Special.) New Eng
land furnishes the most Interesting political
field Just at this time, owing to approach
ing elections In two states and the first op
eration of a new system of direct nomina
tions In another. Vermont will elect a
governor and other state officers and rep
resentatives In congress September 6, and
Maine will choose a full state ticket, leg
islature and representatives in Congress
September It. New Hampshire will hold its
primaries October 6.
Maine Is by far the most Interesting state,
since unquestionably the outcome of the
election is in doubt. At the last election
the republicans elected their candidate for
governor by about 7,000 majority. Intense
factlonnal differences within the republican
party threaten the possible extinction of
this majority and the electln of a demo
cratic representative in the Second con
gressional district, now represented by a
republican, Swasey. In another district,
where Asher Hinds, the parliamentary ex
pert of the National house of representa
tives, Is the candidate on the republican
ticket against former Sheriff Pennell of
Portland, Is considered In doubt, bu with
the indications favorable to Hinds.
Factional Troubles In Maine.
The factional troubles of the republicans
In Maine frow out of a contest between two
groups for control of the organization. The
old organization, a relic of the machine
built up by Blaine and which has come
down to Senators Hale and Frye, Is belru?
opposed by a faction of younger republic
ans, at the iiead of whom are the two
Rlcker brothers of Poland Springs, wealthy
an damlbtlous men who have fought the
Hale faction for years.
Senator Hale's announcement last spring
that he would f.ot be a candidate for re
election to the senate did not mollify the
opposing faction, since his friends remained
In power, and his son, Fred Hale, was an
unsuccessful candidate fo momlnatton to
congress, being defeated by Asher Hinds.
The county and city ticket In Portland
comprises for the most part men affiliated
with the Hale wing of tho party, and there
will be a mutual slushing of the congress
and local tickets by the respective fac
tionallsts. Governor Fernald, republican ,1s a candl-

LOST IN MICHIGAN WOODS
President Delano of Wabash Road
Has a Perilous Time.
THIRTY HOURS WITHOUT FOOD
Party of Chicago People, Including;
Two Young; Women, Lose the
Trail and Wander A lm
leaalr About.
CHICAGO, Spt. 4. (Special Telegram.)
Lost for thirty hours In one of the wildest
portions of northern Michigan was the ex
perience of F. A. Delano, president of the
Wabash railroad; Frank H. Scott, a Chi
cago attorney; Miss Catherine Delano and
Miss Scott. A nine-mile walk the party
started on became a fearful experience
when it was found the way had been
missed and with a heavy rainfall and a
sudden drop In the temperature the party
sufered severely from exposue.
News of the Incident reached Chicago
yesterday from the Huron Mountain Hunt
ing and Fishing club, where the Delano
and Scott families, together with a num
ber of other Chlcagoans are spending the
summer.
The party started out to walk from the
club to Cliff lake, nine miles back In
the woods, from Lake Superior. They
started soon after breakfast, both of the
men leaving their coats behind while the
young women wore shirtwaists. The
party took light lunch, expecting to be
back at the resort In time for supper.
But there Is no king's highway to Cliff
lake. There is only a blazed trail, which
leads through dense forests of pine and
hardwood and skirts Impassable swamps.
Mr. Delano knows much of railroading and
Mr. Scott much of law, but as woodsmen
they knew llttia.
All Off the Trail.
After following the trail for a few miles
they became hopelessly lost; there Is no
wilder country In the middle west than right
back of the Huron Mountain club. The
party had neglected to take a compass. The
sky became cloudy and there was no way
for the members to get their bearings.
With growing fear they plunged on, but
found that they were wandering aimlessly.
They had a few scraps of lunch left, which

Omaha. 2; Lincoln. 3.
Fox, pitching for Lincoln hit a two sacker
In the eighteenth inning of the first game
yesterday nnd drove In Wrldensaul from
second, winning the longest game on record
In the western lengue.
It was the most remarkable game of the
year in many respects. Although the game
went for tho length of two games, but one .
pitcher was used for each side and each
mode the record of his career. The second
game was a tie, 2 to 2, called on account
of darkness.
Roy Fentress was opposed to Fox and his
twirling was most marvelous nnd he should
have won his game, It being no fault of
his that the gHmo was lost. He held the
prohibitionists for five hits for the elghteon
Innings and pissed but five men. Fox whs
about equally effective and he allowed the
Rourkes but six hits and walked seven men.
The game whs the longest game ever
played In Omaha, the longest game In the
Western league this year and also In the
history of tho league. Once before Omaha
fans saw a remarkable game and It has
been talked about ever since, but the game
yesterday put that In the shade, the only
trouble being that Omaha lost. In 1901
Kansas City nnd Omaha played a seven-teen-lnnlng
game which was the longest
until the game yesterday.
One of tho remarkable feats of the game
was the pitching of Fentress when he kept
all prohibitionists away from first base
from the sixth to the thirteenth Inning.
During this period he was most materially
aided by his associates who made nary a
wobble and Don Despaln's helpers were
subdued in rarld fire order as fast aa
they came to the plate.
One Error, and Excusable.
Only one error was marked u pagalnst
the Rourkes during the game, and the Lln
colnltes went through without a mlsplay.
The one error, which went to "Swampy"
out In rlht field., was made, on a single
pole dout by Gagnltf tn the fourteenth and
was a hard one to handle. With the ex
ception o fthl sone almost excusable error,
pla yafter pla ywent through with a pre
cision that was beautiful to see.
From the viewpoint of Omaha rooters,
Fentress was the whole show. Playing his
third game, with Omaha on the home
grounds, a newcomer and unknown until a
few weeks ago when he was picked up by
Pa Rourke down in the Kansas brush, he
played a game which will be pointed to
with pride as" long as baseball lives In
Omaha. He has won all three games he
ha spitched on the home grounds, and In
the three, including the elghteen-lnnlng rec
ord breaker yesterday, he has allowed a
total of only twelve hits.,
Fentress Is not only a twlrler, but he la
also a fielder. He handled everything that
came his way, and the way he gathered In
the hot-off-the-bat liners and groundera
that were shot down at him was a revela
tion In the base ball game.
However, behind Fentress there waa
more clock-work ball than Gate City fans
have feasted their eyes on for years. In
view of all these things, with such an ex
hibition, the loss of the game after such,
a well-fought fight, matter little. Every
onealmost tveryone, that Is wanted to
see Omaha win, but this was one time
when the fight Itself attracted more at
tention than the result.
Cobb Opens Auaptcloualy.
After a blank all round In the first In
ning Cobb came to bat for Lincoln in the
second and dropped a pretty two-bagger
out In right field and in the general mlxup
which followed he was allowed to steal
third. Cockman was hit by a' pitched ball
and stole second. Thomas struck out.
Weidensaul swatted out a long sacrifice
fly to Thomson and Cobb came In for the
first tally, Cockman following him home
on a single by Clark. Clark died at first
on the third out by Fox.
After the second, as has already been
told, Fentress showed what he could do.
For eleven successive Innings he did not
allow a hit From the sixth, when Cole
drew four balls, until the fourteenth, when
Gagnler singled for Lincoln's third hit, not
a Prohlb saw first. Gagnler went to sec
ond on Thomson's error, but there he
stopped and watched himself die on the
third out.
In the fifteenth Thomas went to first
on four balls and was advainced to second
when Weidensaul was hit by a pitched
ball. He went no farther, for he waa
caught o nthe way to third when Moriarlty
scooped up a grounder and tagged him &a
he went past.
Fox won his own game. In the eigh

on Clark's out Fox took a good grip on
his bat and blng! snuffed out Omaha's
hopes with a long two-bagger that rolled
away out against the right field fence,
and brought Weidensaul across the plate
for the winning run.

After the ninth tho Rourkes made three
hits, seven men went to first and three of
them to third, but no more tallies came.
Fox and his "Doralds" were playing no
less a game than were the Kourkes, end

reach the first sack, they were finished up
In short order after they got there.
