Aspirants For Thayer's Shoes Thick as Blackberries—The Oouncil In- vestigation Growing Chest- nutty—Lincoln Notes. 1020 P_STREET, LINCOLN, June 22, Although early in the season, there is more or less “fixing of the political slate’ for 1800 among the politicians. = As they gather together, from time % time, in the corridors of the hotels, from different parts of the state, the beut of their minds seems to turn upon the probable candidates for the varlous state offices and the relative chances of each in the convention lottery. The cor- ridors of the Capital hotel were the scene of an animated discussion a few nights ago. Among the prominent Nebraskans who were considering the plums and plum seek- ers, Tue Bee representative noticed Repre- sentatives Christie and Smith, Caldwell, of Clay; Senator Linn, of Richardson; E. P. Roggen, of Lancaster; Representative Horne, of Otoo; Senator Jewett, of Custer, and Howe, of Nemaha. Tur Ber man took in what these gentlemen had to say regard- i0g the campaign for '90, now on in a quiet way. Though a guessing party, some of their guesses are of general interest to the public. “Candidates for the governorship are as thick as blackberries in June,” quietly re- arked one of the party. Let's sce. There's gemuswr. Dinsmore, Mu;ov'ln Richards, eiklejobn, Raymond, Dorsey, Holmes, Laws and Humphrey., A pretty respectful list of candidates, is it not?” ““With two or three exceptions, yes,” came an answer, somewhat brusquely, *‘But there only three of the candidates you have named that have a gnost of a show.” “Who are they!" “Secrotary Laws, Chairman Richards and Lieutenant-Governor Meiklejohn; but Laws and Richards have the best chance.

The Traveling Men's Outing, The traveling men’s outing proper begins Monday, June 2¢. Monday and Tuesday will be devoted to pitching tents along the stream and in the pleasant shades of Cush- man park. The knights of the tournament will practice for the amusement of those not at work locating camps. Wednesday the formal opening takes place, and at 2 p. m. Governor Thayor and Lieutenant-Governor Meiklejohn will speak to the boys, Fred A. Wilson responding to “he toast ‘‘Our Wives.” After the speaking the gentleman’s ring tournament opens, consisting of a three hun- dred yard dash on horseback by the contest- ing Knights, spearing two rings and jumping a four-foot ditch and hurdle. Notice of fur- ther speaking and amusement will be given from day to day. Rev. Charles Savadge will close the outing by preaching one of his practical sermons to the boys Sunday at 2 p. m., June 30: Lot every Nebraska traveler attend. The Councilmanic Muddle. The councilmanic investigating committee took up the sewerage question again to-day. Indeed, the committee took the sensible way and went out to make a personal inspection of the man-holes Harvey told about yester- day. It is presumable thata formal report will be made as to what the committee dis- covers, The investigation is fast becoming chestnutty, While in some respects it has done some good, in others it has been a sig- nal failure. Dean, it is generally admitted, is in the soup. Cooper, if not in, hangs on the edge, while the bond deal seems very questionable. Other than this, if the opinion of the public is worth a cent, the so-called in- vestigation has proved to be a farce. But it nears the end, and there will be a general sense of relief when the announcements have been finally made. The committee meets again, Wednesday afternoon, to make its findings, Board of Trade Convention. R. H, Oakley, president of the Lincoln board of trade, has appointed O. A. Atkin- son, C. T. Brown, M, L. Trester and T. P, Kennard delegates 1o the state convention of Nebraska's boards of trade, to be held In Omaha June 26, for the purp'ose of devising means to encourage immigration. It is sai that this convention will prove to be one of great interest o the materiul interests of the state. Oity News and Notos. E. D, Einsel, of Holdrege, and Hon. A, E. Finch, of Minden, left Lincoln to-day, taking the 1:30 Burlington flyer for Omaha. Cologel W.

The Omaba base ball team, We ern league, will stop over Tuesday, en route to Denver, and play n practice game with Mayer Bros. team, The park of the local club will be dedicated on that day. A good game may be expected, for Meyer Bros', club is among the best amatour teams in the state. D. H, Lashloy, of Beaver City, bvt for- merly of Lincoln, is reported very sick and not expected to liv Marshal Carder, it is said, will make some changes on the police force in a day or two. Awong the number to go is Chief Irelaud, 1f there is anything in public expression, the marshal will stir a hornet's nest when he takes the step.

Pullman Assessments. ‘The following shows the assessment of Pullman Palace care 4 Nebrusks, by the state board of equalization. 1t will be seen that the assessment of the Union Pacitic sys- tem of roads is much less than it is on other roads. This is explained, however, by the statement that the cars are much older than the others and much less valuable, and that it can make no difference to the roads, for the Pullman Palace Car company pays the assessment of the cars on all of the roads. .

BLAMES THE COMISSIONERS Clerk Roche Holds Them Respon- sible For Extravagance. ANOTHER LETTER FROM MEYERS. Mr. O'Keeffs Will Give the Dilatory Architect One More Chance— A Very Quict Meeting. The Couuty Commissioners. “I'll be here on Monday, but I'll be d——d if Il be here after that,” smd Mr. O'iCeefte at the meeting of the county commissioners yesterday afternoon. The expression was evoked by the reading of a telegram received from Architect Meyers, announcing that he would meet the board on Monday. *T've been here waiting for Meyers every day for the past weelk, and I'm gettng tired.” The meeting of theboard was a very quiet affair, nothing but routine business being considered. County Attornoy Mahoney filed an opinion that the telegram of Architect Meyers authorizing Superintendent Coots to make changes in the hospital’s plans was a compli- ance with the liens of the contract with the county, and a sufficient authoity for making tho said changos. Tho report was placed on file, County Clerk Rocke's communication ex- plaining the distribution of stationery to the county ofiicials was received and placed on file. The communication was addressed to {Joun y Attorney Malioney, and. was as fol- ows: *In reply to your favor of the 1Sth inst., I beg to submit my explanation of the report on stationery of the finance committee of the bourd of county commissioners: ‘*As regards pens, there were no pens on hand when I took charge of the office. The firat requisition was made n April, 1885, when I suggested keeping requisitions, the first in use in the county. Since then it is claimed I have ordered 150 gross of pens, I have supplied the different offices since April, 1855, with eighty-three gross and have on hand sixty gross. Now, several persons employed about the court house have called from time to time, and I have often supplied them with boxes of pens without the formal- ity of & requisition.” This may account for the requisitions being absent 1f there are any. 1 have always receipted for all station- ery reccived by me. The commissioners hud the stationery contract and it was their duty to do the checking; in fact I never saw tho stationery bills uutil after the vouchers were made and allowed. Many orders for station- ery have been given without my consent or knowledge, notably 'by the clerk of the dis- trict court, of which ‘fact I warned the county commissioners st the time, ‘‘Concerning . the overcharge for pens, Messrs. Gibson, Miller & Richardson, have ackuowledged their mjstaxe and will, upon request, remedy the same. If there is any blame to be attached toany one for this, it must rest with the commissioners who so safely held the contract and never allowed me 1o see it, 01 the bookbinding apd canvas covering, 1 know notning whaeyer, and it can in no way refer tome. ‘The commissioners allowed aud paid the bills without contract and you must ask them 1o explain this matter, *“The assessment books and sheets are all here and accounted for s follows: “January 31, 1888, 1,100 assessment sheets value $52° You will' find by taking 1,100 sheets, divided by 20, as there are 20 sheets 0 g0 in books which will give 55 quires, our contract per quire 81,50, ‘Lotal, $52.50, Then Mr. Roche gives we an iemized statement of these bills, showing that the total for them is §203.50." The erasers, like the pens,” he continues, ave frequently been given out by me to porsons whom I well know work for the county, without the formality of a requisi- tion, ~The distribution of stationery, such as pens, pencils and erasers, has been amicably one by me and without undue extrava- gauce, always with the idea of obliging offi- clals and known employes. “Everything received without an official order been accounted for; therefore, there can be no charge of fraud possible. “You will see by the above explanation that there can be no charge brought against me, except that [ may have been too obligiug to employes about the building n lotging them have pencils, pens and erasers woen they urgently wanted them, and this without a requisition, This explanation will, I am sure, satisfy you and the board.” The compiaint against Jucob Levy, the South Omaha justice of the peace, accused of irregularities in office, was sct for hearing on July 20. The resignation of D. B. Houck and the appointment of G. R. Wetmore, as constable in the Fourth ward, were accepted. ‘The bond of T. C. Peaney, as constable in the Waterloo precinet, was approved. The claim of Will Gurley and Lee Estelle for €250, for defending Charles Vollmer, was allowed. The petition of Drexel & Maul, Adam Snyder and others, asking that the county pay the city's portion ot the expense of grading Mercer Avenue, from Lowe avenue to Vista street, the amount not to exceed $1,500, was referred to the committee on roads. Appropriations were allowed as follows.

The Palace Stablss and Other Prop- erty Remain in Ris Hands, Judge Wakeley gave a decision in the case of Ballou vs Sherwood. An exchange of property, it seems, had been agreed on, and Sherwood, according to Ballou's petition, failed to come to time. Sherwood's livery stable, corner Seventeenth and Davenport streets, is the property in question. The deal amounts to $115,000, The court held that the contract was not valid on the part of Ballou, because one signed it for two, but could show no written authority for so doing; then the contract was not mutual, Ballou was to convey to Sherwood for his stable and lot several tracts of land, $25,000 in cash and some stock in an investment company. 'Chis contract aud its terms were intelligible, but the case 1o be determined was whether or 1ot the property had been properly and honestly described, The description given by the Ballous of the property to be con- veyed was held as being irregular. He could not discover that twenty acres of land, de- scribed as adjoining Code Brilliant place, Douglas county, belonged to Ballou, Any twenty acres adjoining that particular addi- tion might have been taken. The result of tbe decision was that the contract could not stand, and the case was dismissed for want of equity, and plaiotiff must pay the costs, ELLERSICK ARRESTED, He 1s Charged With Complicity In the Murder of Lena Meyers' Ohlld, William Ellersick, a saloon-keeper, and brother-in-law of Lena Meyers, who is charged with infanteide, was arrested, yes- terday, charged with aiding in the murder of Lena Meyers' illegitimate child, The war- rant was issued after hearing Lena's con- fession, charging Ellersick with being the father of the murdered child. The case will have a hearing before Judge Berka Tuesday atternoon at 2 o'clock. Ellersick not only denies having assisted in the child’s murder, but says hoe knew nothing of the case and was in no way responsible for the child’s existence, but that a traveling man was Lena's Meyers' seducor. The case is attracting considerable attention, and s the subjoct of much street gossip, ¥irve at Papillion, Fire at Papillion at an early hour yester- day morning destroyed a grain elevator and contents, owned by A. W. Clark, entailing a loss of about $25,000; insurance, $15,000. A Missouri Pacific car, loaded with lumber, the property of the Chicago Lumber company, was partly cobsumed by the flames. The passenger coaches used in tine Papillion suburban service of the Union Pacifie, which wore stationed adjacent to the burning build- ing, were badly charred by the heat. The fire is thought to have been the work of au lucendiary, GOVERNOR ALG He Spends a Day to the Pacific Slope Governor Horatio Alger, of Michigan, and party arrived in the city yesterday morning in a special car. They left last ni Union Pacific express for San F where they will remain until Friday. They will then proceed to Tacoma by rail, and from there go by steamer to Alaska. They are bent upon pleasure seeking, and will no doubt succeed in their effort to enjoy them- selves, The following comprise the party: General and Mrs. Alger, Miss I"ay and Miss Frances and a son, ex-Senator T. C. Platt and wife, of New York; Mrs. Poe, wife of General Poe, of the United States engineer corps; Mrs, (George H. Hopkins. Mrs. John M.

The party drove up to the Bee building in the course of their trip and were escorted through the building. They as- cended to the roof and enjoyed the magnifi- cent view, after which they were shown through tho composing and _stereotyping rooms and the various editorial rooms, Gen- eral Alger was particularly interested in all the details, and exnressed himself as greatly pleased at the magnitude and completeness of the institution. Umiversity Regonts, CrEIGHTON, Neb,, June 20.—To the Editor of Tnr Bex: Inregard to the selection of two Regents for the university, at the com- ing election, it will be well for the institution and the state if the live stock interests can be represented. It is unwise to select two men from the alumni of the institution, there already beine one on the board (Dr. Davis). There are exist ng evils av the mstitution, which can not be remedied with the present board, and the same would be likely to con- tinue if the balance of power were vested in the university itself. The combination would be a monopoly dangerous to the best rost of the institution. It is not necessary for me to call attention to these evils at present, only to raise a cry of training which, if re- garded, will elevate an institution where it belongs. R.
