"What In dolnir on organization? " is the
firm Inquiry members of the lejtlnlatui e
make when they rah the city. It I a
question which no one seems able to an
swer. All thin la because of the attitude of
the dry democrat, who any ilalnly tht
they are merely considering: an democrats
what In beet for their conMIt uents and un
der the plcdneg made by them before elec
tion. If theee dry democrat decide to go
Into the democratic caucus everything will
be smooth sailing. The caucus would have
vote enounh to put, through any caucus
decision. It the dry decide not to so Into
a caucus, which would assuredly name
Kuhl for speaker, the final settlement of
the contest would be uncertain.
Bla; nans tailed In.
It appears likely now that Influential
emocrats over the state will take a hand
In the prospective fight of organization It
H becomes serious enough to look danger
ous. Home of them will come down as ad
visors of th democrats to keep all possi
ble recalcitrants in line. Judge B. P. Good
of Wahoo stated one view of the matter
this morning:
"The democratic party platform demands
certain legislation and democratic mem
bers are first bound by that platform. If
the organization Is divided In the very be
ginning, what chance haa the party to
carry out these pledges? The platform was
silent on the liquor question. Many mem
bers made personal pledges one way or
the other on this question. They are bound
to vote according to that pledge, but this
does not mean that they are to enter any
tie-up of the county option forces to con
trol the organisation of the houses, despite
the usual method. Those pledges referred
to the vote on county option, and that Is
11. Of course, the republicans would Ilk
nothing better than to organise the house,
and that Is why they want this plan."
Attltade of Republicans.
Two or three republican members only
have arrived In the city. Thus far they
take moraljr the attitude of spectator and
are making no effort to disrupt the demo
cratic majority, as Is charged by some of
the wet democrats. Considerable distrust
of the republicans is manifest among the
democrats who have arrived. This atti
tude Is not unpleaslng to the democrats
who ere desiring to organise as democrats
merely; that Is, with Kuhl as speaker and
regular caucus nominations for other elec
tive positions. It Is pointed out that the
republicans would like to gobble up some
f the plums, both In committee appoint
ments and in employes. This fear Is
laughed at by the republicans who have
noticed It. all of whom say they are glad
to be well rid of this tiresome part of
erganlsaUon. . !
Smith on Paroles.
Warden Tom Smith proposes an amend
ment to the parole law by adding a pro
vision creating a new Job, the Job of agent
to look after convicts whe are on parole.
There are how ninety prisoners on parole
and the warden Insists that a man should
be psud a salary to look after them. The
warden also recommends that life prisoners
with good prison records be paroled after
twelve years, and thert If they prove to be
good citizens and show that they are not
a menace to society he believes thoy should
be pardoned. Under the present method
most lite prisoners are liberated by pardon
r oomrautatlon of sentence after they
Jiare served ten years, though occasionally
one remains in the penitentiary fifteen or
twenty years.
Walt's Automobile Bill.
Addison Walt, secretary of state-elect,
has a supply of printed copies of his pro
posed automobile law which he will dis
tribute. Ills idea Is to charge a $5 fee an
nually as a license for automobiles. He
haa changed his original plan and has
stricken out that portion which exempted
automobiles from other taxes. He has also
changed his proposed law so that only fl
of the 16 fee shall be paid Into the state
general fund, the other 4 of each fee to be
distributed t the various counties on an
equal per capita basis, the latter fund to
be used for the Improvement of public,
highways. Mr. Walt believes this law will
latse a fund of 10,000 annually for the Im
provement of roada If the state will give
an equal amount and the counties will also
appropriate some funds, the total will be
sufficient to make good roads In Nebraska.
There are now 16.000 automobiles registered
lo this state and probably 6,000 more wlU
be registered during the coming year.

Row Over Light Wires
is on at Broken Bow
City Council Insists that Company
Use Only Insulated Wires and
Company Demurs.
BROKEN l!OW, Neb., i'ec :ki -t Special.)
A state of discord exists between tne
city council and electric light company
ahlch threatens rome complications unles
the matter Is taken promptly In band and
disposed of. Fotne few weeks bko. It ap
pears, the council awakened to the fact
that bare copper wire a beltiR exclu
sively used by the electric c mu:iy in
ctrinirlng Its lines, and a demand was at
once made on the company to discontinue
its use. and substitute Insulated wire
throuxhout. Manager steen of the rnm-
'nu. iru m rxMHlll liilti iit- (Jin
ceedlna with the work an ordlna to ad-
vanced principles and the open wire was i
the proper thins;; but the council would
have none of It and Insisted on the orig
inal demand. At the last council meetlnR
Mr. 8teen submitted a letter In which he
proposed to use Insulated wire where there
was Increased voltage, but In places where
no danger exIMeil the open wire could be
substituted. The council Ignored this let
ter, refusing ever, to file It.
"We may not know as much about kilo
wats and voltage as Mr. Ptcen." Rali5 Coun
cilman Eaatham. who Is active In the revolt,
"but we can tell the difference between In
sulated and bare copper wire, and we know
what we want. That Is enough for the
lighting company to work on." Manager
Steen says It Is foolishness to use Insulated
wire on a 110 voltage, but where It Is
higher he Is perfectly willing to make the
substitution, providing the council takes
official reconnltion of the work so It may
go on record. Thus the matter stands at
present.
CHADR0N MAN KILLS HIMSELF
John Mead, Real Estate Ascent, round
Ietd In Office by Rlnht-Year-Old
Son.
CHADTtON, Neb., Dec. S0.-(Ppecta! Tele
gram.) John Mead, real estate and Insur
ance agent, was found dead In his office
this morning by his S-year-old eon. He
had committed suicide by shooting himself
through the head, placing the barrel of a
revolver In his mouth. Ills wife left him
lost winter for another man, taking a baby
with her and leaving three other children.
It Is believed that brooding over his do
mestic troubles had temporarily unbalanced
his mind. He Is the son of John Mead,
one of Chsdron's pioneer real estate deal
ers, who now lives at Hot Springs, 8. D.
rones Marshal Attacked.
PONCA, Neb., Deo. SO. (Special.) A few
of the country lads were out for a holiday
last Saturday night, and after a good time
started across town about midnight. The
noise attracted the marshal, and when he
appeared on the scene a fight followed, In
which the marshal and Ed Stark partici
pated. Stark and his friends claimed that
he waa escorting one cf their number home
who had too much holiday cheer, and the
marshal demanded the disorderly man to
lock him up, when the mlxup occurred.
The mayor entered complaint against Stark
and had him arrested. The trial took
place yesterday,-and today Justice Wal-
beck fined Stark $10 and costs, the costs
amounting to SZ4. Notice was given at
once of an appeal. The case promises to
be an Interesting one as, it Is stated, the
boys have been wanting for some time to
"get at" the marshal. It will probably
result in settling' the question whether the
officer will be permitted to do his duty
or not

Judge McPherson
Refuses the Plea of
Albia & Centerville
Federal Court Ordert Short Line to
Continue with Service and Names
Master in Chancery.
RET) OAK, la., Dec. SO (Special Tele
gram.) Judge Smith McPherson In United
States district court today made public
his decision In the Albla & Centerville
railroad case, and refused to dissolve his
restraining order which forbade the sale
of the stock of the railroad to the South
ern Iowa Traction company, which Is said
to be a fraudulent holding company.
The suit against the Albla A Centerville,
which Is a small road over about twenty
five miles of line, was begun by the Iowa
Central. The Albia & Centerville has no
rolling stock and the trains over Its line
were being run by the Iowa Central. The
latter road was accused of overcharging
for supplies and service, and the smaller
concern claimed a debt of $150,000. The
Iowa Central, however, asserts that It has
$70,000 coming Instead of being In debt, and
filed a suit to pi event the sale of the Albia
& Centerville to the holding company.
Judge McPherson granted this order and
appointed B. O. Blerd as receiver. The
Albla & Centerville sued o have this order
dissolved and objected to the receiver on
the grounds that he i an officer of the
other road, but both requests were denied.
Judge Mcpherson's new order also pro
vides that the two roads shall maintain
regular mail, freight and passenger service
over the line, with full convenience and
satisfaction to the public, and that if they
cannot do that within five days the matter
will be aranged by the court. The details
of the equity dispute will be settled by a
master In chancery who will sit in Des
Moines and file his decision within sixty
days.
The Albla A Centerville asserts that It
can get rolling stock from the Burlington.
It Is believed that both the Burlington and
the Rock Island are Interested in this dis
pute over a twenty-five-mile line and that
other big roads may be anxious to get pos
