LONG BOOSTER FOR OTHER MAN Friend In IJoth Pnrtlr Join In Wishing; Htm Well Nnttvr of Ireland and LanR Reitldent of Boone Connlr. (Prom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 16.-(Speclal.)-Cra'Jv. ford Kennedy of Lincoln, who has bmn consIderlnB the matter of flllnu for the republican nomination for congress in the First district, haa made up his mind that ha would like to tea to congress and this morning made his filing with the secretary of state. It to doubtful If there Is a man In this district and the same might be said of the whole state, who has more real close friends than Crawford Kennedy. Jtoit of his life has been spent in boosting for the other fellow with no hope of to ward, but the pleasure of seeing his friends win, and the favor with which his candidacy has been taken, not snly in the district, but in the state, speaks well for his standing as a citizen. Very little reward has come to him from his staunch support of men for political honors, and now that there Is a chance for a substantial reward, It eeems-to be the almost unlversil opinion that the honor of representing the stato In which he has spent nearly all Ills life, in the national congress would be a tribute to a loyalty to friends, which would be the most substantial token which could be bentowed. Jfntlrr of Conntr Down. Mr. Kennedy was born in County Down, Province of Ulster, Ireland, of a prominent Scotch Tresbytcrlan family. He came to this country when a boy inrt settled In Boone county In thla state In 1878. He lived on a farm for several years and has been an active worker in the republican party for over thirty years. In speaking of his candidacy to day, a friend who has been very close to him for many yearn and knows hla eterllng qualities, said: "Mr. Kennedy has a near-at-hand ac quaintance with those who are at the front In republican national politics. He will ; require no years of education ac a congressman to put, him In touch with those who are accomplishing thlnsa In affairs o fgovernment. He will go to Washington, if selected for representative of this district, equipped through his long association with public men and affairs and with a knowledge of all department work that will count for much in caring for the interests of this district and Its people. In all his years of party service, this Is the first time that he has been a candidate for an elective office. He asks the support of republicans In this district, feeling that he can give the district Intelligent and successful service, that will win the appreciation both of his party and of all others Interested In the welfare of this, ontj of the best congressional districts --in the United States." Frtcnda Anions Democrats. In a lengthy editorial, the Albion Argus, -Vtd'tdj- by Dr. C. Q. Barns, a life-ions democrat, who has known Mr. Kennedy tor over thirty years, will say this week: '.'Amid political contentions, partisan bias and the much raking of this day and age, a, pleaslng'lnnovatfon may be noted. We are permitted to see the good in our political opponents and to extend to them the fraternal hand of greeting and wish them success In their laudable ambitions. If the democrats must lose the First Nebraska congressional district, we hope that Mr. Kennedy will be the republican congressman. If Boone county was In eluded in the First district a mighty vote would be polled tor its favorite son, and In this case it would be Crawford Ken nedy."

LINCOLN, Neb., June K-(SpeciaU-An application was made a few weeks ago by R. V. llnlston of Loxlngton, claiming to be an ngent of stock ship pers of the state, to the railway commis sion against the Union Stock Yards company of South Omaha, that he had been refused permission to consult the book kept for the purpose of determin ing stock receipts at tho yards and the time and loss of stock If any of ship ments. In the hearing which came off today, Mr. Ralston said that both himself and his agent, J. T. Garrett, had been de nied the opportunity which was granted others to look over the book and see who had shipped stock. He said that he held tho power of attorney of a large number of shippers to prosecute claims against the railroads for losses sustained by death or Injury to stock and without that record ho could not discover which shipments- had sustained losses. Permission Not Asked. On being cross-questioned by F. T. Ransom, attorney for the Stock Tards company, Mr. Ralston admitted that when denied access to the books that he had not told the agents of the company that he represented stock shippers nor had he showed his authority for such representation, neither had he taken the matter up with Superintendent Bucking ham of the company when denied access to the records. When asked by Mr. Ran som why he had not done so Mr. Ralston said he knew It would not do any good because he had seen Mr. Buckingham and Kdson Rich, attorney for the Union Pa cific Railroad company, which shipped in the stock, together several times and he was positive they had framed it up to Weep him away from the books. .Mr. Ralston admitted that he received no other compensation for his work In look ing up claims except a commission on claims prosecuted and collected, and that he only prosecuted claims for those from whom he held a power of attorney. lOnpi dence was presented by Mr. Hancock of the claim department of the Union Pa cific that they had paid claims prosecuted by Mr. Ralston In which the latter held no power of attorney, hut which had been brought on his own Initiative. Flntllnir llln lliintnrnn. It was shown in the hearing that while Mr. Ralston Bald he acted for shippers he said that none of them ever notified him of shipments to be mado and that lie had to depend upon what he could discover on the "scliute book" of the stock yards company to find out when shipments had been made, and that even the commission firms to which shipments were made knew nothing about who tho shipments came from until after they had been unloaded and a record made to the firm receiving the consignment. Mr. Buckingham said at the close of the hearing that the stock yards com pany did not propose to act in the ca pacity of agent for any claim- sharks and allow their records to be used to give these men a chance to work their game, as the records of tho company showed all losses and tho commission firms to which 'onslgnments were made were given rec ords of any loss, and the shipper of th! stock could make his own showing to the railroad company and It would he paid without the assistance of anybody who would get a commission for bringing the suit.

Shallenberger, former governor of Ne braska and at one time congressman from ! the Fifth district made good his threat to file for the democratic nomination to again represent that district In congress and this morning sent In his filing to the secretary of state.

At tho present time the reactionaries In the party seem to be getting to the front with their strongest candidates and every filing of late date shows that the element In the party opposed to the Uryans are Kitting busy. It Is probabte that Clarence ttarninn, stato food commissioner will Issuo a statement tomorrow regarding his action now that Mr. Shallenberger has an nounced his candidacy. At the time that Mr. Harman filed for tho same Job which Mr. Shallenberger now aspires to fill, he made the statement that If any other "good" democrat filed he would not be a candidate. It Is presumed Unit a "good" democrat has been found and that Mr. Harman will withdraw his filing. ALMA, Nob., June IS. (Special ) Kx Governor A. C.
