TOWN POLITICIANS GRUMBLING. €ome 111 Feeling Over the Work of the Republican State Central Committee—The Lawyer's Picnic. 1029 P Streer, LiNCOLN, August 31 Thore exists considerable feeling among thejpoliticians of the city over the action of the ceatral committes yesterday in giving precincts a delegation of two at large in ad- dition to the regular numerical apportion- ment. There are 26 country precincts and but six in the city, this gives the country 40 advantage more than their voting strength would allow them. The city peopls say that they were willing to give themone at large which wouid make the convention 166 from the city and 60 from the county, but they think the other rule is outrageous, unjust and unfawr, especialy when - the city casts 500 to 800 more votes than the country. ‘They will appeal to the good sese and fair- ness of the convention, so they say to rem- edy this, and change 1t back to but oneat large. L1NCOLN BUREAU OF THE OMATA Bas, } The Pronibition Organ. ¥ The statement published this morning that there had been a deal perfecied by the man- agement of the Nebraska Non-partisan Prohibitory Amendment league and the publishers of the Kearney Enterprise, by which that paper was to become the organ of the league, is declared by wdir. Robbins to be only partially true. He says that the Enterprise is to support the proibitory amendment, and that the amendment people will endeavor to stand by and assist their friends, which, of course, means that the Enterprise will be largely patronized by.the prohibitionists, but that there is no truth in the story that they have agreed to take 10,000 copies of the weekly at 8125 per ©opy. Mr. Robbins continued that but one paper had come out square aud offered to sell its influence, and he did not know whether the party who came to him in that interest was authorized to talk on that subject for the paper which he purported to represont. ornot. On bemng further pressed for information on this point, Mr. Kobbins said that soon after the Omaha Repuolican changed hands last winter, a gentleman prominently connected with the old manage- ment, approached him ana offered the influénce of the Republican uuder the new regime for sale fora stipulated sum, The roposition was never mrloully considered gy the amendment people. The Express B Mr. J. E. R Mlll.lr the old, '.ruo and tried agent of the Pacific express company, who for fourteen years has served both the com- pany and the people faithfully and well at the corner of O and Eleventh streets in this city, packed up his belongings and left for Kearnoy to-day, where he takes charge of the consolidated business to-morrow. What is Lincoln’s loss in this respect 18 Kearney’s goin, This city mever had a better citizen, nor one which she hated moreto lose. Here- aftor the expross business in this city will be conducted by Mr. Teas, the representative of the Wells-Fargo company. T no rustling for busine has goods to ship will b his preference. If the talk of the people any mdication of their intentions in this regard, the Pacific company will get little from Lincoln in tho fature. They assert that if the company eannot muntain an in- dependent office they are not worthy of patronage, Mr. Millar says that the refrig- erator car and fast freight lines have played such havoc with the express business in the west that vetrenchment is necessary. a patron who d to express The Republican County Convention. The call for the republican county conven- tion has been issued. The primaries are set for September 21, anad the convention for 2 p. m. on the 23rd.

Northeast Lincoln has been kicking for™ better school accommodations for sowe time. Many of the inhabitants are a mile to a mile and a half from the Elliott building, which is their nearest, and they have felt that they had good reason to kick. It has been a cus- tom keretofore for the board to build one new school house each year, Last year the Ellio tt building wes erected, and this year the board was putting up one in the south- east portion of the city. That portion of the city north of the Missouri Pacific track and east of Twenty-fourth street has grown very rapidly duting the last year. In order 10 itnpress the board with their strength and the importunce of immediate action regard- ing the erection of & new building, a grand rally was held last night at Twenty-seventh and Y streets.. The meeting was called to order by J. C. Pentzer, and Mr. Hossack was elected secretary, Resolutions ex- pressive of the sentiments of the people were adopted and o number of red hot speeches were made. Tne people out there say that they will have the ear of the board on this question if they huve to hire a band, and, after gathering all of school age in the pre- scrived district, march down Twenty-seventk t0 O, thenon O to the postofice building, snd then counter-march back to their homes.

NEW M SHANTS HOTE ‘The Magnificent Hotel Which Opens To-day. For five months pnst the Merchants hotel on Farnam west of Fif- teenth, has had closed doors to the traveling world. Its patrons and friends reluctantly, however, were com- pelled to oo clsewhere for food and shelter. Nat Brown, the well known and genial proprictor, waived them away because he could not Tord them bed and board, for the simple reason that he was enlarging und beautifying the place so that it mizht be as it 18 to-day, the handsomest hotel of its size in this part of the coun- ry. In the Merchants’ hotel of to-day there is scarcely a semblance of the original hostelvy. It is larger, richer, prettier. It has been doubled in size. 1t has been newly carpeted throughout. Tts furniture is of antique oak with ar- tistic and ornamental carving. Its parlors have been regilded and re- furnished. Rooms en-suite have been introduced to such an extent that now the traveler whether he be alone or with his family may find more than home - like accom- modations. There are fifteen baths in the house, some of these being on every floor and many of them con- nected with the princival rooms. They and the lavatories are finished in Carrard marble and resemble the baths of Vespasian rather than what one would expect to find in a modern hotel. Connected with every flour on all sides and endsare fire escapes, which lead from the roof to tho ground. Connected with every room is the office by means of the latest device in electric bells. The passages are wide and airy and there is not aroom in the house which is not open to the sunlight and air of heaven. On the flrst floor there is half a dozen of the largest sample rooms, with every accommodation which the most ng travel- ing men could desire.- The office on the ground floor is a marvel of beauty, its tiled floor, cherry finishing, dados and ceiling paper-fresco being unexcelled. Adjacent is the cozy dining room, with side boards of antique oak and bevelled French plate and furniture of carven oak of unique design and elabo- rate and valuable trimming. Opening off the office is the elevator, which runs day and nightto every story; aisoopening off the office is a large tiled vestibule, from which at one end open the closets, than which no finer or more perfect have been designed. Off the hall also, at the southern ex- tremity, 18 the hotel bar, a symphony in cherry and French plate, where the finest liquors are dispensed. There are now 150 rooms, which can readily accommodate over 200 guests daily. Seventy of these rooms have just been added and to do this required the erection of a new structurs four stories high, and the elongation of the old one by forty feet. Into this improvement W. A. Paxton put $75,000. e did it because the Mer- chants wanted the room.

Resolved, That while we regret the loss to ourselves, our hearts go out in sympathy to his sorrow-laden family, who alone can feel that hopeless, crush- ;na grief of the hundred ties of the near oor, Resolved, That in respect to the memory of our departed brother our charter be draped in mourning for the space of thirty days, and a copy of those resolutions be sent to his family, spread upon the minutes of the union and pub- lished in the Cigarmakers Journal and the daily papers.
