OFFICE HOLDERS

UPON CAMPAIGN
State House Deserted by Dem
ocrats, Who Are on Trips

suing Votes.
American
Casualty List
From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Sept. 24. (Special.)
This is a tiusy time for state offi
cers out of the state house. Demo
cratic state jobholders are away try
ing to convince the voters that the
only way to win the war is to keep
them in office.
Governor Neville is in northwest
ern Nebraska explaining why he did
not incorporate the prohibition rati
fication amendment in hiscall for
a special session of the legislature.
'."Secretary of State Pool is charg
ing up the hill in an effort to dis
lodge Congressman Kinkaid from
his life job in congress.
Smith With Rest.
State Auditor Smith is in the
Fourth district in an effort to con
vince the voters there it is time to
send a democrat to represent that
district in congress.
State Land Commissioner Grant
Shumway is "somewhere iuNebras
ka." He may be appraising'land or
perhaps interviewing voters. Who
can tell? The commissioner is very
conscientious and it may be if he
is out at state expense he will in
sist that if any voter wants to vote
for him lie must say nothing about
it.
State Superintendent Clemmons
took his trip early and is just back.
Mr. Clemmons used to he a demo
crat, but is not any more. It is
either because he is running on. a
nonpartisan ticket or he has re-
. formed.
Also Reed and Hall.
Attorney General Willis Reed and
State Treasurer George Hall are
also out in the state somewhere.
fVhat they are doing nobody here
will tell. Mr. Reed was a candidate
for the democratic nomination for
the United States senate, but has
... now given up the idea that he will
run this year. Perhaps he (will next
tii-n Win- t-n.-wc -
Mr. Hall )s not a candidate for
anything. He is either wise enough
to sec the handwriting on the wall
or else he has some other reason,
perhaps the latter. Anyhow he has
a new automobile with a lot of shine
on it and will be able to keep busy
after January 1, A. D. 1919.
Of course this story would not be
complete without calling attention
to the tact that the only republican
running for office this year at the
state house, H. G. Taylor, is taking
his vacation. He is a candidate for
re-election to the office of railway
commissioner and is taking an au
tomobile trip with S. R. McKelvie,
' Nebraska's next governor.

Federal Court Room
At Norfolk Crowded
For Trial of Priest
i
' Norfolk. Neb., Sept. 24.-(Spectal
,, Telegram.) More than 200 people
i from liieiKlHon and several Hun
dred others from this locality pack

afternoon to hear the trial of Rev.

siderable factional feeling in the
case as is indicated by the large
number of members of the church
who are here from Creighton.
Cattle Rustlers Active

but nothing more was thought of it
until a calf, valued at $50, was miss

traces where it had been shot and
bled and thtn hauled away on a rig
ging evidently composed of poles
with crossed pieces.

Plenty of Planes
Reaching U. S. Army,
Says Sen. Thompson
Washington, Sept. 24. Describ
ing his recent visit to the western
front. Senator Thompson of Kan
sas, democrat, told tlie senate today
that the general opinion abroad is
that another year will be required
to bring Germany to its knees.
America, ha declared, had "put pep
into the war" and started the "ball
rolling towards Berlin."
Despite the criticisms in this
country of the aircraft program, he
said, planes are now arriving in
France "about as rapidly as they
can be taken care of." He branded
as false statements made in the sen
ate sometime ago that in July only
one battle plane equipped with a
Liberty motor was in France.
"The truth is," he declared, "de
li ;ry of these planes was not ex
pected earlier than July 1, while as
a matter of fact the first Liberty
motor plane arrived, was set up
complete and christened on May
18, last, and they have been arriving
over there at the rate of five or six
per day ever since."
The first five planes equipped
with Liberty motors had the 'mis
fortune, he said, to land behind the
German lines. He pronounced the
Liberty motor as the "best motor
in existence" and worth whatever
loss had been caused by delay in
perfecting it.
Lone Bandit Holds Up
Train and Robs Mail
Seattle, Wash., Sept. 24. Regis
tered mail valued at several thou
sand dollars was obtained tonight by
a bandit who held up the engine
crew of Great North train No. 355,
two miles south o'f Mukilteo, Wash.,
uncoupled a mail and baggage coach
and then made his escape after com
pelling the engineer to haul him to
a point near cMadowdale. Wash.
An all night search of the woods
in the vicinity, a scouring of all the
roads and a patrol of the water
front between Seattle and Everett
Liled to reveal any clew to the
robber. Bloodhounds from the state
reformatory were put on the scent
and a track leading into the woods
was taken up.
It is not known when the robber
boarded the train. He appeared
with drawn gun before the engine
crew and forced them to stop the
train. He then -compelled the un
coupling the mail and baggage car
during which he took two shots
at the fireman, R. N. Rayburn, who
had thrown a hammer at him.
COUNTY BOARD
DEFERS PROBE
OF LIQUOR CASE
Commissioners Will Wait for
Regular Meeting to Inves
tigate Alleged Find of
Whisky Bottles.
Noth withstanding the fact a meet-J
ing of the countv commissioners had
been called bv Commissioner O'Con
nor, chairman of the court house
committeeto investigate the alleged
finding of whiskv bottles on the
ledge of the court house, opposite
the windows of the sheriff's office,
at 10 yesterday, no proceedings
were held.
Commissioner O'Connor said: "I
do not think there is anvthinsr to it.
We could only investigate today as
individuals and our findings would
not be of any official value. We
should have a full board present at a
meeting regularly and legally aalled
for the purpose bv the countv clerk."
Commissioner McDonald is off
on a hunting trio and wiH not be
back until the latter part of the
week, Commissioners Neble, O'Con
nor and Hoffman were the only
members of the board who resoond
ed to the call.
They deferred action and will
have the county clerk issue a call
for a special meeting to be held at
2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Sep
ember 30. This will be the regular
meeting day of the commissioners
A recess will be taken from the fore,
noon business meeting and the spe
cial order taken up.
"No Bootlegging" Neble.
Commissioner Neble, speaking of
the matter said: "1 have made con
siderable personal investigation my
self. I went up on the court house
rocf Saturday. 1 found some bot
tles in the places indicated and am
satisfied it was no plant and that
some person had been drinking
whisky and had thrown the bottles
out, just as has been done from
many of the other buildings in the
downtown district. I am satisfied
there was no bootlegging."
Sheriff Clark says that none of the
brands on the bottles have ever
been officially in the possession of
his office since he has been occu
pying his official position.
It is intimated that empty whisky
bottles have been lying around the
edges of the court house since the
free and easy days of the regime of
Sheriff McShane and have never
been removed by the court house
employes.
