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."

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
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
Files for Congress
(From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, June 16.-(Speclal.l-Ashton
C. 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.
This blinds on another situation In the
democratic party which will not bo satis
factory to the Bryan followers. 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. Shallenberger made hl.i
filing yesterday at the county clerk's
office as a candidate for congress on tho
democratic ticket In the Fifth district.
In his last campnlgn for office Mr. Shall
enberger carried his home county, Har
lan, by the small majority of 20. His
majority at homo has been gradually re
duced from about MO to 20 and with the
split In tho party here now his chances
aro not the brightest against tho Bryan
candidate. P. W. Shea.
