son of a man who had a good number
In the Gregory county drawing five years
ago and filed adjoining the town of
Gregory. '
The drawing for the J.O00 prizes began at
0 o'clock this morning. The greatest In
terest of the whole drawing naturally
blnged on the drawer of No. 1, valued at
110,000. The opening exercises were very
Simple, consisting only of the singing of
in appropriate song, entitled, "Just Be
fore the Drawing, Sweetheart," by a
chorus of girls, an address by Judge
Wltten, who was In charge of the draw
ing, and the drawing of lots by two little
girls to see which should have the honor
fit drawing out the first number.
The girls who drew the first 1,000 num
bers were Virginia ' Foster, daughter of
Mr, and Mrs. Don Foster of Dallas, and
Dorothy Slaughter,' daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. 1L F. Slaughter of Gregory.
The drawing will take three days, 2,000
pames being drawn the first day and '3,000
tach the last two days, making a total
of 8,000. Any claims that are not filed on
fter the 8,000 have been given an op
portunity to do so will be thrown open
Cor settlement under the squatters' right
plan.
Four thousand people hushed In breath
less expectation had crowded into the
Pregory auditorium this morning to wit
ness the drawing of names for the Rose
bud and Pine Ridge land opening.
The start was delayed about thirty
tninutes on account of the tardiness of
one of the llttlo girls selected to do the
rawing.
Hoth Girls Select First Envelope
The preliminary Intention had been to
have the two llttlo girls cast lots for the
tionor of drawing the first name, but at
the last moment Judge Wltten decided to
have both girls participate In this event
at the signal from the superintendent of
the opeatng, Virginia Foster of Dallas
, Mid Dorothy Slaughter of Gregory trlp-
ued forward to the stack of 03,000 en
vclopcs and made a Joint selection, both
assisting in conveying the envelope to
Judge Wltten. .
Without preliminary maneuvers or heal
tatioa Judge Wltten ciulckly opened tho
envelope and culled the name of the
winner. Mary J. Kendall of Rapid City,
B. D. The drawing and announcing of
names proceeded speedily from that time.
Walter I'cterson of Burke, who drew
No. 4 today, filed a squatter claim In
Gregory county Beven years ago, but lost
It on a contest. At noon 600 names had
been drawn and the local Interest In the
I drawing was beginning to lag.
Dennis O'Leary, correspondent of the
Associated Press, landed No. 145 in the
drawing here, but cannot derive any bene
fit from it, aa he only has a homestead
right for two acres. O'Leary was among
(he lucky ones in the Gregory county
' drawing seven years ago and filed on a
quarter two miles south of Dallas. In
order to make use of the number he
woJld have to locate a subdivision as
Imall as bis homestead right and that
cannot be done.

cratic Ticket at Primaries, One
Who Signs t'ertlflrate of
onilnut Ion.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. 24. (Special.) Secre
tary of State Walt has decided that the
name of Dan V. Stephens shall not go on
the populist ticket as tho candidate for
congress In the Third district at the com
ing election. Tho action by tho state
official follows a protest filed by Colonel
G. A. Ebeiiy, chairman of the repub
lican district commitU.'O, In which the
Stanton man alleged tliut a legally called
convention had never been held and that
therefore the certificate of nomination
filed by Stephens for that party was
void. Notice of tho decision was made
public late today and was as follows:
"In the matter of the certificate filed
In this department October 12, 1911, pur
ported to be signed by members of the
people's Independent party in convention
assembled at Norfolk, Neb., September
26, 1911, naming Dan V. Stephens as tho
cnndldate of said party for congress. In
and for tho Third congressional district
of Nebraska, and on October 14 there
being an objection filed against accept
ing said certificate, and complying with
Its provisions and demunds.
"A hearing was held on Saturday, Oc
tober 21, at 2 o'clock p. m.. as requested
In said objections, at which hearing G.
A. Eberly. as plaintiff or objector, ap
peared In his own behalf and S. 8. Sldner
on behalf of the defendant party.
"After hearing the testimony and argu
ments In the case as presented by wit
nesses and counsel and giving due con
sideration to briefs which were later sub
mitted by counsel, I have decided to sus
tain the objections of Mr. Eberly In the
main and therefore decline to certify tho
name of said Dan V. Stephens to the
county clerks of sold Third congressional
district as the candidate of the people's
Independent party for the following
reasons:
"First That the democrattlc party has
no authority to call a convention of tho
members of the people's Independent
party aa Implied in said certificate.
"Second Tliat the call for said conven
tion was not Issued by, the state or con
gressional committee of, said people's In
dependent party at a regularly called
meeting of said committee, but the chair
man of the Mute committee of said party,
on his own volition, which action Is not
supported by the statute.
"Third Said certificate was signed by
W. G. Woolley as chairman of said con
vention, who upon examination as a wit
ness testified that he voted a democratic
ticket at the primary election August 15,
1911, and that he had not attended a popu
list convention or meeting In his county
for four or five years prior to the" one
that elected him a delegate to this con
vention. "Kvldence was also produced showing
that T. A. Thompson, who signed said
certificate, as secretary of said conven
tion, had voted as a democrat at the last
election, and whose name appeared on the
poll book of tho precinct in Knox county
where he voted aa a democrat.
"In view of thoso facts, and others not
expressed, I am of the opinion that this
purported people's independent conven
tion and certificate emanating therefrom
Is a usurpation of the functions of the
people's Independent party for the use
and benefit of, a candidate of another
party who has no claims for Its support
by affiliation or advocacy of its prin
ciple. ,
"While, in my Judgment, this opinion
will not change a single vote for or
against either candidate in ' the contest
for congress in tho Third district, there
Is a principle Involved in the issue which
both the republican and democratic party
compiled with in following the provisions
of the law made and provided In such
cases, while In this case it has been only
partially observed in calling the conven
tion and formulating and sighing the re
quired certificate for this department.
"It Is of general knowledge that the
people's Independent party has no per
manent state organization based on
county representation, but is kept alive
only by members of other parties for
convenience when needed for fusion pur
poses. .
"Personally, I havo great admiration
for the founders of tho populist party.
and to them must bo given the credit for
originating many of the needed reforms
and wholesome laws that have been put
In our statute books, but generally speak
ing, the men that did things In the name
of populism have aligned themselves with
other parties, and ore not instrumental
In attaching the party name as the tall
to the kite of other parties."

SUIT AGAINST LUMBER TRUST
United States Files Fifth Bill in
Court at St. Paul.
DETECTIVE AGENCY IS INCLUDED
Its Members Are Charged with py
Ina; on Independents anil Ite
porllng Dolng-s to Secre
taries' Association.
6T. PAUL, Oct. 24. The government's
fifth suit In Its fight to break up the
so-called Lumber trust was begun In the
United States court here today.
It Is directed against the following:
The Northwestern Lumberman'! asso
ciation, the Lumber Secretaries' Bureau
of Information, an Illinois corporation,
already under fire In another suit against
the "trust" brought tn Colorado; Luke
W. lloyce, owner of a private agency at
Minneapolis, Minn., ;who la charged with
spying on Independent lumber dealer
who are said to have violated the trade
"ethics" laid down by the alleged trust;
the Lumberman Publishing company,
a Minnesota corporation which Issues the
Mississippi Valley - Lumberman, a trade
Journal which the government charges
has been the organ of the "trust" in that
section.
Piatt II. Walker of Minneapolis, editor
of the paper, la made a defendant.
are tho 'following, as being members, of
ficers or directors In the Northwestern
Lumberman's association:
W. 11. Wood, Parker, S. D.; Charles
Webster, Waucoma,' la.; WHUard G. Hol-
Us, Minneapolis, Mlnh.; George F.
Thompson, Minneapolis; C. M. Porter,
Oskaloosa, la.; E. G. Fllnn, Minneapolis;
O. M. Dotsford, Winona. Minn.; W, H.
Day, Jr., Dubuque, la.; M. T. McMahon,
Fergua Falls, Minn.; C. A. Flnkblne, Dos
Moines, la., and John W. Barry.. Cedar
Rapids, lu.
As In similar suits now pending against
th Knstern States Retail Lumber Deal
ers' association, the Michigan Retail Lum
her Dealers' association, the Colorado &
Wyoming Lumber Dealers' association
and tho Lumber Secretaries' Bureau of
Information, fourteen members of the
latter organization being under criminal
Indictments charging violations of the
Sherman anti-trust lav, the government
alleges that the lumber trado has been
unreasonably restrained by illegal agree
ments and understandings which prevent
the consumer'Trom" buylnt of whom and
whefo he wills; which abrolutely forbid
competition for trade, and which have
divided the country Into non-competitlve
territories. It Is also alleged that names
of lumbermen who have violated the
"ethics" have been published to the trade
in the Mississippi Valley Lumberman.
Allegations tn 11111.
The bill alleges many acts In pursuance
of an alleged conspiracy covering several
years, and that .some of them were per
petrated and In form that ceased several
years ago, but each act Is alleged to have
been part of a carefully devised plan by
which first on restriction and then an
other was fastened on the lumber trade,
and when once fixed was to all appear
ances abandoned and substituted with one
less Iniquitous.
The theory of the bill Is that while no
ono of the separate acts performed now
might be taken as a violation of a law
when considered alone, they are only a
part of a general plan, and by the al
leged "continuing conspiracy" an appar
ently harmless act Is now directly con
tributory to the original scheme of re-1
strlctton and oppression of which the gov
ernment complains.
The bill relates in great detail the gov
ernment's allegation that dealers who In
sisted on selling to whomever they
pleased were constantly under the sur
veillance of the defendant Boyce und his
detectives, who reported all regular busi
ness to their employers, the Northwestern
Lumbermen's ansoclutlon; that the re
ports of such espionage were sent to the
lumber secretaries' bureau of Informa
tion, through wblch they were sent to
the twenty or more territorial organiza
tions of the so-called trust In addition to
being published In the Mississippi Valley
Lumberman.
The government seeks injunctions re
straining all the defendants from contin
uing the acta of which complaint Is made.
The suit is in direct charge of Clark lie
KiTiher, special assistant to Attorney
General Wlckersham.

dent Taft returns to Washington next
month not tho leaH of his labors will
he the filling of Judicial vncanclra which
havo arisen since the adjournment of con
gress In August.
There Is practically no chance now that
a successor to the Into Justice Harlan will
be selected y the president until he
reaches Washington. It was said today
that Mr. Taft has given no consideration
nt all as to a successor to Justice Har
lan. He has received many suggestions
as to how he should fill the vacancy on

ersham, Solicitor General Lehmann and
several others prominent In public, life
have been mentioned. It was said today
by members of the president's party that
the president has determined not to take
up the matter until after congress meets.
In addition to appointing a Justice of
tho supreme court Mr. Taft will probably
fill this winter existing vacancies In New
York, Montana and Wisconsin districts,
and also a successor to United Htates
Circuit Judge Grosscup of Chicago. In
addition to these Judicial appointments
the president will name a member of the
International boundary commission to
succeed the late (Senator Carter and
United Htates marshal for the northern
district of New York.

YENO'S "CURES" IMAGINARY
"Doctor" Ue Names Without Au
thority from Their Owners.
CLAIMS FAIL ON INVESTIGATION
I'ersous nefrrred to In Advertise-
me nt of Wonderfnl "Healer" Deny
Ills Statement or Do Not
Kslst at All.
Dudley N. Veno, "the marvelous Veno,"
who came to Omaha last week and la now
advertising miraculous cures of rheuma
tism, deafness, paralysis and other In
firmities, Is branded aa a "fake" by some
of the persons whose names he uses In
his appealing advertisements. Others
whose names were used cannot be found,
"I know nothing of Dr. Veno, and have
never been near him," said Henry Beck
mann, despite Veno's advertised statement
as follows:
"Mr. Henry Becktnann, 1404 Plnckney
street, was alfllcted with rheumatism fur
several months, unable to use his arms
Movement gave hitn great pain. One
treatment with the great Veno remedies
gave Mr. lleckmann full use of his arms
and relieved him of all pain."
Mr. Beckmann says he has had rheu
matism many years snd still has It. He
docs not live at 1404 Plnckney fetreet.
though he owns the house there. He Is
employed by the Anheuser-Busch com
pany.
Mrs, Catherine Ragan, 4:22 Booth Thir
teenth, denies that she was cured In soven
minutes of deafness of twenty years'
standing, as Veno advertised. Bhe ad.
mlta that she was sble to hear slightly
Immediately after Veno had treated her,
for he dug all the wax out of her ear.
Daniel Hulllvan, Union Paclflo engineer,
who lives at 2232 hiouth Eleventh street,
Is very angry st Veno because Vono's
advertisements have cent a horde of rheu
matlo crlppks to his place to miiko in
quiries as to the efficiency of tho "doc
tor." One of t..n "doctor's" most miracu
lous cures, according to himself, was
that of J. J. Southland, 2232 Kuuth Elev
enth. Mr. Sullivan said ho has lived at
the given numbor for years and has never
heard of J. J. .Southland. Southland's
name Is not tn tho city directory. ,
Mr. Rulllvan says ha made complaint at
the Veno office and was told that prob
ably there was a nilx-up In the numbers.
But to date he has not beon able to get
his address taken cut of the advertise
ment. Veno claims to have cured Gus Rmlth,
2C23 St. Mary's avenue, of rheumatism In
fifty minutes. Thers Is no such street
numbers. The numbers In the VM block
begin with 001 and end with 2406, and If
there were a number 2023 It would be
whore there la now a high bluff covered
with weeds.
One man was found who said he had
been cured by Veno. J. J. Mlchaelson, 20!
Pszton block, says that fourteen years
ago he was paralyzed from tho waist
down and that Veno cured him In five
days.
Walter Clear, whom Veno says he cured
of sciatic rheumatism, could not be found
by a reporter for The Bee, but Mrs.
Clear says her husband Is still suffering
from rheumatism, though he feels better
since taking the Veno troatment.
The name of O. M. Fisher, Bouth
Omaha, which appears at the foot of one
of thn Veno testimonials, docs not appear
In tho South Omaha directory.
One of the testimonials bears the name
of William Johnson, Omaha, but no
street number Is given. , There are twen.

Mayor Dahlman stated that thirty-
seven years ago he passed tnrougn
Omaha on his way to the western coun
try and wto years later he went to Ore
gon to secure and bring to the ranges
of Montana 2.000 head of steors. Llttlo
did he then think, he added, that thlrty-
ftvo years later It would be his pleasure
to welcomo Oregon to the metropolis of
Nebraska, adding, "and to this splendid
Land Bhow that is the result of the en
ergies of some of our citizens."
The mayor expressed the opinion that
Omaha is destined to become one of tho
greatest of the great cities, as It lies tn
one of the most fertile areas, extending
more than 2M) miles In every direction,
as well aa being the gateway through
which must pass the commerce of the
country to the east and west as It goes
to the far-away markets. When the re
gion lying west from Omaha Is populated,
the mayor predicted. It will furnish
homes for at least 100,000,000 people, and
then all of this vast section of country
will still remain tributary to Omano.
Mayor Welcomes Oregoalans.
"Wo have here," continued the mayor,
"a city of magnificent homes; a city of
schools and colleges; business houses and
manufacturing establishments; we havo
our splendid Young Men's Christian as
sociation, our Young Women's Christian
association, all of which are second to
none; we have here a people who have
built up one of the best of cities, and In
behalf of them and our representatives,
as chmlef executive of this metropolis,
I auy to you that I extend to you the
warmest welcomo that can fall from my
lips."
J. C. Holbroolt, Oregon commissioner
from Albany, responding to the address
of the mayor, said:
"It gives ma great pleasure to be able
to say that today Oregon shukes hands
with Omaha and at tho Borne tlmo, it In
real pleasure for Oregon to be permitted
to ooino to this great Land Bhow that Is
such a wonderful success In every par
ticular.
You know wo produce the greatest and
boat appeles In the world, but apples are
not all we have. Wo have our millions
of bushels of grain and we reatlso that
hero nt Omaha Is the gateway througli
which must pass during all the future
agen our people aa they travel back and
forth, and ah:o, through this gateway
must come many of the things we buy
away from home; and then, through It
must pass the products that we send to
yond the Missouri river.
