BOME THINGS TO RECKON WITH Frem a Ptaff Corrppon(ifnt. TJNCOL.N. May 10-(Specla1.V-The at tempt of the World-Herald to switch Governor John H Morehend from the candidacy for the t'nlted States senate to the- democratic nomination fop vice presi dent In 191S la received with considerable amusement around the state house, and In taken a all Indication that the prenent senator feara the candidacy of the gov ernor. The boom started from the same source for Dr. P. L. Hall for the democratic nomination for governor ia taken aa In spired by the aame powers for the pur pose of setting all of the strong candi 'dates out of th way and after something they don't want so Senator Hitchcock may have a clear track for something hi does want. However, when the World-Herald man attempts to find positions for all the democrats In the state who have their eyes on the senatorship he will find a ' real Job on his hands. It Is well known that Jake Thcmas of Seward has his eye on the plar now held by Senator Hitch rock. Thomas ls'pretty strong with the democrats over the itate, and It may be . considerable of a Job to switch him onto some other trail. Congressman Dan Stephens Is said to have 'tils optic also on the governor's chair, and there Is little doubt that Governor Morehead will be a candidate for the senatorship. It was pretty generally asserted that if Charles W. Bryan was elected maor of I.lneolu he would consider It an endorse mont of his candidacy for srovernor, but now It Is said he will be satisfied to stop there for the present. It must not be for gotten, though, that Clarence Harman must be taken Into consideration when nomlnationa arc made In 1M. Herman may become a candidate himself for gov ernor or for seme state office, and the feeling Is general that the man who suc cessfully engineered Moreheed's candi-daoy-last fall must be reconed with. The sentiment among democrats, how ever, doubts whether anything short of war with a foreign power can keep the present national administration In the saddle. This appears to bo the feeling around the sate house, and sometimes a discouraged democratic officeholder peaks his mind on the subject Would Place Ban on v Teaching of German , (From a Staff Correspondent.)

The valuation of the road last year was Src.MK a mile, whrh. he thinks. Is altogether too high as compared to the earning ca pacity of tho road. Mere School Consolidations. The work of consolidation of school districts Is going along merrily, according to State Superintendent Thomas. Mr. Teed, who has charge of the work, left tonight for Nance county, where there are to propositions tip for consideration, one of them being about six miles west of Fnllerton at a rural church known as North Star. A large number of tlie schools of the stsf in rural districts have but from I ... . .... r.,,,,11. ...A I.. ., I three In Lancaster county with less than three pupils. The cost per capita uoght not to be more than S.T0 per pupil, but In some districts It is costing as high as tSW. Superintendent Thomas goes on the theory that as It costs Just as much to run a passenger train across the state with only ten passengers to the car aa It does if the coaches are all full. It costs Just as much to run a school dis trict with two pupils' aa It does ono with two dozen, so in order to get more ef ficiency and at the aame time less cost, he believes the consolidation scheme a success.

Examiners Explain ome Statements About A. 0. U. W. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 10.(SpecUI.)-The controversy which has arisen because of a report filed with the State Insurance board showing the expenditures of the head officers of the Ancient Order of Vnlted Workmen and which Is pro nounced false by A. M. Waling, Master Workman, as regards the amount paid by the organization for the publication of the official paper. Is probably open to explanation. The report of the examiners, which Is signed by John W. Jones and C. S. Clay ton, recites that the coat of printing the official paper was UM cents per copy, in comparison to 1U to 4 cents paid by other organisations for printing- their paper. Members of the finance committee of the Ancient Order of t'nlted Workmen stato that the price mentioned is right, but is for a whole year's number Instead of for each copy, while the comparison with other papers was probably made on the single copy and not for the year. The largest advance guard which ever attended a session of the Ancient Order of Vnlted Workmen Is In Lincoln to night. The session of the lodge will con vene heretomorrow at 10'oclock.
