M "RECiSTtRNoW." bSL'UN Lincoln Political Committees Use All Efforts to This End. NOT W0EKING TO CHANGE VIEWS Railroads Have ot Yet IH-rlded t pon Their Action with Kenpect to Absorption n f Higher Switching (kirsn. (From a Ptaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. I. (Special.) Lancaster county political committees arc making every effort to set the voters out to regis ter next Tuesday In order to avoid a big rush on the last day of registration. The committees are urging upon voter the necessity of registering at this time or otherwise they may be deprived of their votes or at least put to considerable trouble and cause their friends trouble. In this icunty practically nothing Is being con sidered In the campaign except wet and dry and for that reason the greatest work that the committees Jan do Is to get the voters registered. It Is considered prac- tlially a wast of time to try to convert the rot nty optlonlsts to the Slouumb law or to convert the supporters of the Slocumb law to county option. Who Is to Pay Inrrenset The railroads have not yet formally noti fied the State Railway commission that they will object to absorbing the increased switching charges which the stock yards company has been permitted to make. The commission gave tha companies until Octo ber 17 to appear and object to the Increase and It Is tha general understanding that they will object to bearing the burden. Thompson Not Itealanrd. Though Attorney General Thompson has been sworn In as solicitor of the Treasury department at Washington, he has not yet severed his connection with the legal de partment of state. When he left Mr. Thomp son expected to return to Lincoln some time In October and wind up some cases In which the state Is a party. He probably will not resign until after election. This will obviate the necessity of the appoint ment of a new attorney general to serve until January, as the governor probably will appoint whoever la elected In Novem ber to serve out the unexpired term. ' Metcalfe Ilelpa Cause. Richard L. Metcalfe haa turned over to the state Women's Christian Temperance union all his right and title to his book, Bishop's Sunbeams," for the period of one year.

Banquet Hall Team. A banquet will be given at the Lincoln hotel Monday night for the members of the Lincoln Western league ball team, at which many prominent citizens will meet and break bread and boost the team. No Reduced Ratea for Omaha. No railroad haa yet made application to the State Railway commission for permis sion to reduce ratea to tha : Ak-Sar-Ben festivities, and It Is said there will likely be no reduction. The only explanation yet offered by those who have looked Into the matter Is that the report of the referee In the Minnesota case has , encouraged - the railroads to believe that they will be able to knock out the lower rates over the o&un- try which were caused by legislation. The Minnesota decision, aa made by the referee, waa In effect that the rates made by the commission and legislature of that state were confiscatory and also had a bearing on Interstate earnings and for that reason were beyond the jurisdiction of the state authorities. The case is yet to be passed on by the courta. Lincoln Well Decorated.

BLOODED SHEEP IN GOOD DEMAND Flnrkinasterw of the vVeat Appreciate the Rest and Hur Klne Animals with Which to Stock Their It a stars. OODEN. Utah, Oct. t (Special.) The Four-State fair has drawn to Ogden dur ing the week a mutltude of strangers, who have crowded the hotels and rooming houses and given to , the city the apear ance of circus day prolonged. The International Sheep show, one of the auxiliary attractions of the fair, has proven a decided success In the quality and quantity of the stock exhibited and the In terest shown by the . sheep men of the intermountaln states. Owners of flocks frvm half a dtzen stateS have been present, and during., the saiea have been heavy purchasers of Cotawolda, Lincolns, Merinos. ShropRhtres, Hampshlres. ltamcorilllets and the other breeds, numbering over 1,500 head. The Harnconlllets rams are going out to the herds In Nevada and southern Idaho, where In the .'ast ten years the French Importations have won a name as produc ers of large sheep carrying heavy fleeces, a combination long sought after by west ern sheepmen. The American Merino continues to hold Its own, and Is being heavily purchased by Montana and Wyoming wool growers, who value the American product for Its hardiness and wool producing qualities. Within the last few. years, the American Merino has been exported to South Africa and other foreign countries, and lately the American Ramconillet, what ia the French stock improved by American climatic con ditions, has been in demand by the flock masters of foreign lands. P. H. Shaw, who has acted as Judge of the sheep show, and who is the head of the bureau of sheep and goats of the Agl cultural department of the government. says the western herds, with the Importa tions of the finest run and ewes In the world, are destined to lead the sheep of all other countries as wool and mutton pro ducers. Ogden In the center of the ranges, Is to make permanent this sheep show and each year hold a similar exhibition of blooded animals. Wild Docks by Millions. Where the Bear, "Weber and Ogden rivers enter Great Salt Lake, the lakes and swamps of fresh water are the feed ing grounda of countless millions of ducks at this time of the year, where the hunter realizes hla dream of birds In their flight obscuring the sun. The ducks do nit breed In the ponds that Is 90 per ceht'of them do not. They come from the north In early September, In flight from the Canadian lakes to the gulf, and, settling- oh 'the local bodies of water where feed Is good, amain until the Ice beglna to "form, when they continue on their way to the timber belts of Texas and the swamps of Florida. The migration commenced this year two month earlier than usual and now the birds are again 'In flight after but a brief Btay near the 'inland sea. The ex ceptionally dry season Is said to have forced the ducks- South at this time. At nighty in line wJLU yjetr journey south ward, the noise-1 of " the mllllona of feathery wanderers continues from sun down to dawn "and is loud enough to awaken one from Aiee.p. When the ducks remain late the local hunting grounds are a hunter's paradise, unequaled by any place In this region. . Hunting near Ogden is not confined to birds. In the canyons of the Wasatch range, eaBt of this city, not leas than fif teen bears, cinnamon and grizzly, were killed early last winter, and at thla time of year deer are o be seen feeding on the fo6thtlla. On'"October 16 the game law will llow the nlmrods to kill deer and several hunting parties are now pre paring for that event Shipping- Apples. Apples continue W be shipped from Og den and other points north of here by the carload. Jonathan are commanding $1.50 to $2 In the orchard. One small orchard of an acre near Tremonton yielded 1,800 bushels, for which the owner received more than double a captain's pay and more than three times that of the salary of the aver age clerk In a city store. That ia an exceptional yield, but five acres of good apple orchard In this valley of opportunity will make the average fam ily Independently rich In worldy posses sions and supremely happy in freedom from worry over the financial state of the nation or other problems of existence that now and then vex other people. Cnre for Cnrly Leaf. The cause of curly leaf, that affliction which destroys the sugar-making quality of the sugar beet, has been discovered and a remedy suggested by Harry B. Shaw, pathologist of the government, who haa been studying this beet plague for aome months. In a report to the Amalgamated Sugar company bf Ogden j states that curly leaf is caused by the 11 af hopper, an Insect which, in the fall of the year, goes Into hibernating In tha weeds and rubbish along fenoea and reappearsv In ths spring to rs-establlah colonies of parasites on the tender beet leaves, there to remain to de stroy or retard the growth of the sugar tuber, Utah, as wel as Nebraska and other beet augar producing states, ha suffered heavy losses by the devitalizing power of thee insects, so that the proposed remedy comes as an offering of great value to the beet raisers and the sugar factories depending o;i successful crop for. long campaigns of sugar making. The weeds and rubbish not on one farm, but everywhere within reach of the Insects should be gathered In the fall and burned. This will destrop the Insects harbored by the weeds and free the farms from all danger of curly leaf. Law to Compel Destruction. Mr. Shaw suggests that legislative action be Invoked to make compulsory the de struction of weeds In the fall. The remedy has the added value of removing weeds that are obnoxloua In themselves, and which, like the Russian thistle, rob the soil of its fertility without one compensat ing benefit. A movement la now taking form which has for Its object the urging of such legislation by the Utath legislature as will meet the suggestions of Mr. Shsw and make all farmera and other land own ers responsible to the county and atate for the menace of premises overgrown with weeds. M. G. M'KOON DEAD ON SUNDAY Former Omaha Resident Paasrs Away After Loan- Illness at Los Angeles. Samuel Ree received a tslegram from Loa Angeles yesterday announcing the death there of M. Q.

One hundred and fifteen to elRhty-six was the vote east against the raising of dues of the Omaha Field club from to 140 per year. This means that in spile of the Increased expense account turned In by the board of directors at the meet ing the members will consider some other manner of retrenchment to pay off the debt rather than make the cost of the cluo privileges higher. Of the 340 members present only 201 were entitled to Vote, as many of them were merely on the paid waiting list and not regular members. Much heated discussion ou both sides of the question was In dulged In, but finally a speech by I. J. Dunn, followed by several convincing argument by K. P. Smith, a former president of the club, carried the day for th opposition to the dues. The question which received the most heated argument was the one pertaining to the dining room, which Is run at a lots. Many members bring their friends out and give dinners there, as It Is cheaper than any other place in town, and the dues of the members who belong for the golf and tennis are taken to pay for this, accord ing to some of the candidates for "no rais ing." It is probable that another meeting to consider some other line of action will be held In the near future, as the club stands now several thousand dollars In the hole. The statement of the club's finances, as given at the meeting, Is aa follows: EXPENSE.

Margaret Glvler Is the "champion lady roulette wheel rider of the world." She proved her right to that title at the carnival grounds Saturday afternoon to the envy of her girl friends and the grudg ing admiration of the boys who can stand on tha roulette wheel or run backwards along it dlszy edge. The Human Roulette Wheel, as it Is called, Is a big disk of highly polished wood about thirty feet In diameter, which Is kept whirling around at a bewildering speed. The middle Is higher than the edges and the unlucky adventurer who does not know how ia whisked off his balance the moment he steps upon It and Is thrown oft like a pebble out of a sling shot, at the outer edge. Around a small circle upon the center eminence runa a low ledge of wood and by hugging close to the floor and cling ing fast to this ledge a passenger may ride In safety. If not In comfort, while the wheel goes through Its revolutions. For small boy It Is a rough and tumble paradise. They Jump upon the edge and make for the middle land there Bomehow or other and stick there until they are pushed off by the sudden and precipitate arrival of another. Then they are whirled off the wheel. But Saturday afternoon . they were all shooed off by the attendants and It waa an nounced that girls were to have their turn. The engine were stopped and the girls got safely to the center and prepared to hang on. Then the enginea were started. Any unprejudiced observer could have seen that Margaret who sat firm and silent waa determined to be the last one off. All the grim dignity of her eight yeara was concentrated In that resolve. The wheel started to move. The .other little girls screamed and clutched at one another as they felt themselves going round. Margaret set her teeth and said nothing. One by one with little ahrleks of dismay the others lost their holds and slid off, the last ones being thrown with catapultlc force and con siderable dlshevelment Into the arms of the people at the aides of the wheel. Finally there were only two left, Margaret and one other. The other smiled and began to look a little sick. Margaret kept her place. Round and round they went. The people watching were clapping and making beta on who would stay with it the longer. The other one looked Into Margaret's face for some sign of a compromlfee, but there was nothing there but determination to win. So, with a pitiful little smile she let go and out she went. Then Margaret, seeing herself all alone In the middle of her own universe whirling away at the rate of several revolutions a second, glanced around proudly at the spectators and calmly slid off. Admirers set her upon her feet and she walked away a Uttle dizzily, but with a nonchalance that bespoke her superiority.
