The Latest Scheme of the Democratic Managers to Secure the Election of their Candidates—Lin- coln News Notes. LiNcoLN BUREAU oF THE OMAHA Bas, 1020 P StREET, LiNcoLN, Oct. 2. Bogus election tickets are abroad in the land. The plan of these tickets is somewhat original, but they bear the stamp of democratic genius and knav- ery. The play is not only made upon the republican party, but also upon the union labor party. Under the caption of “The Republican Ticket” the presi- dential candidates are intact and also the electors, but the first name on the state ticket is that of John A. McShane, over the words, **Democratic Candidate for Governor.” The union labor ticket receives the same deal. But following the name of McShane on the republi- can ticket 1s that of George D. Miekle- john for licutenant governor, and then that of Isaac Henthorn, the union labor candidate for sccretary of state. The name of J. Hill follows for state treasurer, and that of William Poynter for auditor of public accounts. These tickets have been scattered broadcast over the state, but the package that came to Lincoln fell into the wrong hands, and the scheme of the wily.dem- ocrats explodes before the tunity comes for But the desperation of the harty leaders is none the They evidently intend prestige ‘and representation by fair means or foul. As soon as Chair- man Richards discovered that such tickets were flooding the state he ad- dressed a letter to Attorney General Leese for his opinion as to the legality of such tickets, and secured yesterday evening his reply, which is as follows: Your communication of the 26th inst. is at hand asking my opinion as to the legality of a ticket headed republican ticket, with the name of another there- on, not found in the regular ballot hav- ing such heading. n answer theretoI would state that under the provisions of section 115 of chapter 26, entitled elections, all such schemes to deceive the electors are de- clared to be fraudulent. OBection 116 of same chapter makes it a eriminal offense for any person caus- ing ballots to be printed with a desig- nated heading, containing & name or names not found on the regular ballot having such heading. Or, for any per- son to knowingly peddle or distribute lln{ such Lallots. 'hs statute is remedial, and to arrive at the intention of the law makers we must consider the old law, the mischief and the remedy. With this rule in view there can be no doubt but what the intention of the law makers was to avoid any deception that might be practiced on the elector, And I would deem it the duty of th» canvassing board to re- fuse to count the vote of anyoune whose name is printed or pasted in print upon the ticket, unless the name of that per- son is found upon the regular ballot having such heading. The ticket sent me for inspection is headed ‘republican ticket,’ and contains the names of presidential ‘clestors.” Now for governor,’ or *prohibition candidate for governor,” or ‘uniou labor candidate for governor,’ or any other officer, and following thereafter a name not found on the regular ballot of the party of such headiug. is, in my opinion, an il- legal vote for such candidate for gover- nor or such other officer. The heading is *‘Republican Ticket.” The words ‘democratic,” prohibition,’ or ‘union labor,’ candidate for governor, as printed on_the ticket, isa designa- tion of the officer to be voted for; a name found thereon, other than the name found on the regular ballot, is buta scheme or deyice to misicad, and con- trary to law. The only method by which such name can be legaily counted is for the elector, or some othér person, to erase the name found thereon, and write in the place thercof the name of the person the elector wishesto vote for. Any other method is in my opin- ion lllega{. Yours very truly, WM. LEESE, Attorney General. IMPORTANT NEBRASKA ENTERPRISES. Articles incorporating the Nebraska and Dakota Bridge company, the Ao- way Valley Creamery and Cold Storage compuny and the Bank of Omaha were filed with the secrotary of state to-day. The articles of the Nebraska and Da- kota Bridge compuny state the object of the association is to build a bridge across the Missouri river at or near Ponca, Dixon county, and lay on or over the bridge railway tracks for the more perfect connection of any and all roads that may approach the city. w"fi"""“' vehicle routes over the bridge will also be constructed. The company author- ize a capital stock of $2,250,000, which is divided into 22,500 share of $100 each. The bridge will be built and operated under the restriciions and terms con- tained in the charter granted by the United States governing such enter- prises.

SOLID FOR THAYER. The Grand Army boys of Lincoln are solid for the election of Governor Thayer. There will be no hall way work on their part to secure this result, At a special raeeting of the post, ealled on last Saturday evening, thero was a full attendance, aud the action of the Call in bolting the governor was dis- cussed pro and con and dewounced in no unmeasured terms. Resolutions were introduced favoring the solid support of the order to Governor Thayer, and to-day petitions have been circulated all day long among the old soldiers, and, THE BEE representative is reliably informed, with splendid ve- sults. It is stated that with a single exception, 80 far as seen, the boys have agreed to stand. by him first and last and all the time. "It is perhaps well to connected with the order, but as a body of citizens to discuss the best interests of the state in the preferment of guber- natorial honors. So the charge of ‘“offensive partisanship’ cannot be made against the boys. NEW NOTARIES PUBLIC. The governor to-day appointed the following Nebraskans notaries publi Peter J.

Dora Uhrman and Mary Harpster filed petitions in the district court against their respective spouses for divorce to-day, on the grounds of cruelty, desertion and failure to pro- vide for their comforts and wants. They say they prefer to fight the battle of life alone. Hon. Josish Rogers, of Syracuse, one of the most prominent democrats of Otoe county, was in Lincoln to-day. He concedes the election of Horn, repub- lican, to the house, and when pinned down was not so sure but what the whole ticket was on the road to victory. Two young Bohemians, aged forty- T L R e e A were married to-day by County Judge Stewart. They hail from Crete and answered to the names of ¥rank Novak and Mrs. Antonia Nowatine. They looked as happy as a youthful married couple newly wedded. T. J, Mahony, of Omaha, and Colonel E. D. Webster, of Stratton, were regis- tered at the Capital hotel to-day. Colonel Webster has his eye on san- guine democrats with money to give dway on the result of the election. e Brought in a New Conundrum.

John Wentworth used to give the following account of the man- ner in which he gained the cognomen by which he was so well known: **When I'was goin% to school down in Connecti- cut I was the longest, skinniest boy you ever saw. I was fourteen years old. I used to have a habit in those days of getting my heels up on the seat, so that my knecs towered above my head. I was sitting that way one day in school whon one of the examiners camearound. d to the teacher, *What's that boy g standing up on the bench? Why don’t you make him sit down? The The teacher said I was sittin’ down. ‘“That’s the way he sits,”said the teacher. ‘Who is he?’ asked the examiner. ‘John Wentworth,” said the teacher. *He's a pretty long John.’ said the ex- aminer, and ever since then it's stuck to me. ' —_— Merchants hotel, 15th and Farnam 82 por day, day board $25 per_month. 41 First street, had nine feet and six inches of real anaconda neatly coiled up in a market basket on the fire escape outside of his parlor window. It came out of the manhole of a sewer near the cornor of First street and Second ave- nue on Wednesday afternoon, just as school was letting out at Grammar school No. 79 on First street, afew doors away, and hundreds of children were pouring out. When first scen it was gliding along First street toward First avenue. The children saw it and shrieked: *‘Look out for the crocodile!” screamed one of them as they ran. Their cries brought hundreds more of persons flock- ing from doors_all along the block, and heads appeaved at_every window. The school janitors and other grown persons huslll‘lf the children back into the building and up the high stoops in the neighbornood. As the snake moved along, men, women and children fled before it, screaming warnings to others ahead. At first the snake took'its time about covering ground, but in a minute or two the throng. pressing closer behind it, apparently annoyed or terrified it. It stopped and threw itself into a coil ,with three or four feet of very vicious look- ing body vibrating upright from the center and a mouth eight inches long gaping open to let a forked tongue spit out. The children screamed louder than ever and everybody that could run did so. It was at this moment that Mr. Burck- hardt first saw the snake that he had coiled up in his market baskoet. The noise in the street had called him to his window, and just as he had taken one look at it the creature sprang for- ward. Mr. Burckhardt’s hair still rises perceptibly as he tells of it. “I could just see it as it flashed by,” he said. *‘Four men had run out from the wheelwright’s shop with whatever they could lay hands on for a clul snake stopped again, seeing th and made itself into a coil r i One of the jumped " for- ible blow on the back of the neck. It dropped to the pavement and before it could get up again the rest of the men and every- body elsé that could get anything for a club were on top of it hammering the lifo out of it. It fought desperately, but it had no change.” The snake 1s undoubtedly a genuine anaconda, nearly full grown. Its body measures easilyia foot in_circumfercace at its thickest part{ and its length was verified yesterday by Mr. Buckhardt, who stretched ‘it guton his floor and measured it. Itisgo cut and bruised from the beating it had with clubs that it is doubtful if; its skin ean be pre- served, It is supposed that it came from some South American vessel un- loading at an Esst river dock, crept along the sewets, ‘and along them to the place wheré'it reached the street. Some sailor probably brought it from South Ameriea. It may have come from there when young, hidden in fruit or other cargo, and have grown to its present size in the sewers, but that is not likely. —_— A Sea of er Water. New York Sun: A company has pur- chased tho Seltzer spring at Saratoga, N. Y., and will utilize its waters for the purpose of liberating and storing, in liquid form, the carbonic acid gas with which it abounds. To do this, exten- sive arrangements are being made upon a large amount of invested capital, The establishment of the plant is under the supervision of Mr. Oscar Brunler,a German expert. The Seltzer spring, loeated on Spring avenue, was ' developed by Dr. Haskins A ! and the | sex. this depth an abundant supply of water was found flowing from a crevice in the rock bottom. A few days ago, to assure himself of the depth of the spring, Mr. Brunler sounded it with a line and plummet; but instead of resting at 500 the weight sank the whole length of the line. %00 feet. Other soundings have since been made, the weight used being a picce of inch gas pipe fillen with lead and weighing thirty-four pounds, until a depth of 3,300 feet has been reached, and yet without touching bottom or any obstacle. No further sounding will be made until 1n- struments expressly designed for the purpose can be procured. Prof. Brunler admits it as possible that the line and weight could have been carried away by some powerful current, but he holds to his original be- lief in the existence of a subterranian sea of greater or less extent, and that there is undoubtedly some connection between it and the water of the ocean. In other words, that Saratoga is over a vast water-filled cavern, the roof of which is about 500 feet thic He also thinks it probable that at a given depth and temperature carbonic acid gas may be found in a liquid form. The specific gravity of the liquid gas is about nine degrees lighter than water, which would readily cause the water to climb 800 feet above the ocean level. Should the existence of a subterranian sea be established, it would put to flight many theories and scientific speculations as to the source and course of the many min- eral springs here., LR A Word to Young Ladles, Five Talents of Women: We must give all the nice, modest girls we know credit for not consciously endeavoring to catch husbands. If men fall in love with them and desire to marry them, are the right sort of men, and the girls can love in return, well and good—they marry, and hope to be happy ever after, but they will not run after men, or think i ything they ¢, “Can I catch a fish with this It must, however, be confessed that there are girls who, instead of making themselves useful and calmly resting in their maiden dignity, think only of getting d, und use questionable urpose. For- getting the prover! The more haste the less speed.” This sort of girl not unfrequently assumes a “fast” style of taik, manneér and dress,in order to make herself attractive to the opposite In doing so she makes a great mistake. Fish may nibble at her bait, but they will notallow themselves to be caught. A loud girl may attract atten- tion and have half an hour of popu- larity, but she is a type of the vsglorl- sightedness of some of her sex. Men of the baser sort may amuse themselves with her, but no man worth having would think of marrying her, There is a liberty that makes us free and a liberty that makes us slaves, and the girls who take liberties with mod- esty of speech and manner, and who cross over the boundary line into mas- culine territory, ave not more free but move slavish than before. And the ap- probation of men, which is the end in view, is lost by the means wuken to gain it. Whatever men may be themselves, they like gentleness, modesty and ljnn't_\ in act and thought in women. "hey want their wives to be better than themselves. They think that women should be the couservators of all that is restrained, chivalrous and gentle. e He Spat in the Wheat. Chicago Times: When his royal high- ness the Prince of Wales visiced Chi- oago, John Wentworth was msyor, sad the programme of entertainments for the distinguished caller and his suite, and each day during the royal sojourn some one alderman was designated to head the procession. It came Alder- man Jones’ day, and he took the party to the grain elevators. Mayor Went- worth was in the midst, for he went every day as the generalissimo, the al- derman being merely the master of de- wils. The Jargest elevator at that time was the one still standing near the Illi- nois Central station. The blooded vis- itors and the escorts inspected thor- oughly. Alderman Jones directed the gaze of his highness to a mammoth hop- per filled with the golden cereal of the northwest. His highness was then an overgrown lad who retained some boyish manners. There never was a boy who when he looked into a depth did not spit in it. The Prince of Wales gazed into this great depth of wheat and, un- consciously perhaps, he spat in the hop- per. Mayor Wentworth was standing some distance from the scene, but he called out 80 that everyore in the party heard it: “Say, prince, your highnoss, you mustn’t spit in that wheat. Don’t do that again, please.” Not only the prince but everybody present roared. Mayor Wentwort then came around to the hopper and apologized to his highness. A gentle- man who was present and heard this apology repeated it to me to-day, as nearly as he could remember it. Mr. Wentworth said: *“Your high- ness, this wheat is to be loaded in the vessel down there,and is to pass through the royal dominions of your highness' mother by way of the Welland canal, down the St. Lawrence, and then to be taken across the ocean. This very wheat is to go to your highness’ mother, her majesty, the queen, as a present. She may have it made nto bread for the royal table, your highness, and I don’t want it spoiled, Your highness will understand why I'spoke so abruptly about your spitting in the wheat.” R ama : A Buried Cedar Forest.

Itis the novel business of mining cedar trees—digging from far beneath the surface immense logs of sound and aromatic cedar, The fallen and submerged cedar s of southern New Jersey were dis- ‘ed first beneath the Dennisvi swamps soventy-five years ago, and been a source of constant interest to geologists und scientists genorally ever since.

Boston Courier: She was a Ioston woman and although the accidents of her life placed her in a prominent po- ition in a western city, she still wain- ained the courage of her convictions, and an inds s which savored strongly of New Kngland. The city where she dwelt was at on2 time greatly given over to the vagaries of the prohibition movement and Mrs, X, was teased and bundgered to a degree which she could ill brook. After she had been interviewed and written to and solicited to help the cause in one manner and sunother, she was one day informed that & colmmitiee to make a last effort to induce her to join the prohibition movement. Mrs. X. smiled placidly and gave her orders to her servants. When the visitors ar- rived they were met with much cor- diality, and the conversation kept, by the cleverness of the hostess, to strictly impartial subjects. Justas the commit- tee were clearing their throats to broach their errand, the door opened and in walked a procession of demure maida bearing trays upon which wero punch, wines and liquors in more variety than the horrified callers had probably ever encountered. Of course they all de- clined the refreshments with airs of the most indignant virtue, but even the rohibition committee of a western eity acked the hardihood to invite into their body a lady who sat sipping her wine with the nonchalance which Mrs. X. assumed for the occasion. It may be added that Mrs. X, was never trnugled by them again, e The Religious Test. Globe Democrat: A queer state of things is found to exist as to using a re- ligious test on the witness stand. Twenty-six states and territories forbid the exclusion of testimony owing to the religious belief, or unbelief, of the wit- ness. These states are: Arizona, Cali- fornia, Colorado, the District of Colum= bia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Towa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Mis- souri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Ne w York, Ohio, Oregon, Wisconsin, Texas, Utah and Vermont. 'This leaves twenty states and territories that still apply the religious test, to their disgrace. Karly christians, in heathen courts, refuse to take oaths; and the authority of serip- ture is fully against it; but the usage came in as tho ages grow corrupt. It is to be hoped no state will long retain this relic of barbaric intolerance, It is well known thut the oath is valueless. el One result of the strect car strike in Chicago has been the formation of a zens’ committee, which will en- wvor to force ““the Philadelphia syn- e to give Chicago proper facilities, This committee is preparing a state- ment showing that when the North side lines were sold to Yerkes there Vi 34 per cent more cars in usc than at the beginning of the strike.” SULL WEIGHT PURE wpertor excellonco provon, in millions # e« for more than a guarter of & century, the United States Government Fn. v the heads of the great Universities ag the strongest. purest and most healthfal fe.
