EITHER BURCH OR RICHARDS Speakerzhip of the Nebraska House Scems B.tween this Pair at Present. B. & M. MANAGEMENT WILL DECIDE IT Orlando Tefft Has the Lead for President of the Senate and Tim Sedgwick 15 n Cinch on the Scrives ner's Situation, LINCOLN, Dec. 28.—(Speclal)—But thres @ays remain for wire pulling for the hun- dred or more official positions in the gift of the Twenty-fourth session of the Nebraska legislature. One of these days Is Sunday, but it is not a long shot to guess that tho Babbath hum in corridors will swell as loudly as on any other day. The election of November last was won and lost, and the several contestants are now sawing off the game. A number of the more sagacious ones are also sawing wood. Tom Majors is here, making his headquarters at the Wind- sor, and there are rumors afloat to the start- ling effect that he still considers himself in the senatorial race. At all events there Is a secrot caucus held at his rooms every night, and at times one or two are held dur- ing the day. Majors does not move around a great deal during his visits to Lincoln of late, but exccutes the most of his wire pull- ing by special messenger. A story originated yesterday, and It is now pretty generally confirmed, that the harrowing expectancy Incident upon waiting for the 15th of January to ballot for United States sepator was to be cut short by a cau- cus New Year's eve. Should the result be favorable to the hopes of Hon. John M. Thurston, it is stated, a committee will be sent to Omaha to present him the senatorship as a New Year's present. But this same story was aflcat shortly after the November election, about the time the Lancaster county delegation gave their written pledges to sup- port him in the legislature. It seems to have lost nothing of authenticlty since its first promulgation, WHO'LL RULE THE HOUSE? But the greatest amount of political caloric 18 generated over the contest for speaker. At present it s not a case of the fleld against any one starter. C. L. Richards of Hebron and J. C. Burch of Wymore are in the lead. J. A, Davies of Cass, Randolph McNitt of Red Cloud, John Brady of Kearney and W. lo. Chapman of Crete each have thelr follow- ng. Contingent upon the election of Burch or Richards hangs the fate of three candidates for clerk of the house, Mr. Gettis of Grand Island, Charley Rigg of Beatrice and F. H. Wilson of Plattsmouth, For president pro tem of the senate there are four distinct candidates, Orlando Tefft of Cass, John C. Watson of Otoe, J. H. Pope of Saline and J. C. F. McKesson of Lancaster. There is a story freely circulated, however, that the latter would feel amply satisfied with the chairmanship of the judiciary com- mittee, McKesson 1s an old member, and his claims, whatever they may be, will hardly 80_unrecognized. For secretary of the senate there s but one candidate exhibiting strength sufficient to withstand any demoralization of his forces. That 1s Tim Sedgwick, present secretary of the republican state central committee. Prac- tically there {s no opposition to him. Lincoln has two candidates for sergeant-at- arms, Carder and McDonald, while Tyler of North Platte sits back, contentedly holding the winning trumps, For postmaster of the house there are a flock of candidates, and they tread fast upon the heels of every incoming delegation of any size. So far Mr. A. C. Wright, recording clerk In the office of Governor Crounse, Is ;.‘he most frequently mentioned in hotel lob- fes. RESTS WITH THE BURLINGTON. Tt is possible that some of the active polit- feal manipulators In the legislature Imagine that they are in some way contributing to the election of a speaker. If they do be- lieve this, however, they are decidedly un- sophisticated. In reality the B. & M. rail- way s now deciding the question of the kership. ‘That political tramway has easlly disposed of similar questions in the past, and it Is doing the same thing today. It it sheds its favoring smile on Richards, Mr. Burch will be obliged to give way; if upon Burch, Mr. Richards will retire grace- fully and in good order. But it Is doubt- ful if he will be in a frame of mind suitable to acknowledgment of the boasted statement that there is a government of the people, for the people and by the people. The hand of the B. & M. is also shown quite plainly in_the struggle for the ofice of presi- dent pro fem of the senate. * Colonel Ager, who has been acting annual pass distributor and chief lubricator, is at his old post, and so are nearly all the old o'l roomers and professional boodlemen. There has been no change in the arrange- ments for the Inauguration ceremonies next ‘Thursday. Governor Holcomb will read his Inaugural address in the house of representa- tives at noon, and there will be a reception to the newly-elected stato officers and thelr wives and lady friends in the evening in the senate chamber. The following reception committes was selected today by those hav- ing the Inaugural ceremonies in charge: Elias Baker, John C. Sprecker, J. V. Wolfe, J. C. McNurney, John P. Maule, James Allen, Alexander Graham and Patrick H. Barry. Mr. Sprecker is from Schuy- ler, Mr. Allen from Omaha and Mr. Barry from Greeley Center. The re- mainder of the commlttee are Lincoln citi- zens. Music will be furnished by the Sec- ond Regiment band, but there will be no in- augural ball. It is reported that Judge Hol- comb will not arrive In the city until the first of next week, owing to a slight indispo- sition, He has engaged apartments for the winter at the Lindell. hotel RESENT HARSH TREATMENT, Schuyler Prisoners Appeal to the County Judge for More Comfortable Quarters, SCHUYLER, Neb, Dec. 28.—(Special.)— About ten days ago a couple of tramps stole two overcoats from the sheriff’s office, being careful not to take goods of the value that would entitlo them to residence within the stone walls of the state's prison. Before the county judge they pleaded guilty to petty larceny and were rentenced to thirty days' confinement In the county fail. The sherift, having been obliged upon & number of occa: slons to keep such men whom he thought placed themselves in the way of being com- mitted to jail in order that they might live well and keep warm without the labor at- tendant upon the hard ways of tramp life, concluded that theso men should bs kepi upon short diet and In close confinement, and gave the jailer Instructions accordingly. These instruct'ons were not complied with at first, but after a period of about seven days the men were put into the stone cells, which are exceedingly uncomfortable and cheerless i comparison with the steel cages and the more open room in which they are located. Tho prisoners felt the severity of the change, as is shown by the following letter that was written yesterday: To the Honorable Count Judge—De: Bir: Wil you permit two \nfortungte men. inmates of the county jall, to appeal to :’0\"‘ sense of honor and ‘justice for protec- fon against the severe "and unnecessa treatment to which we are being subjected, ‘We are under sentence of thirty days, and after seven days’ confinement, during which time we were allowed to run loose in jall, we are now locked up in a small cell where ‘we can get little or no benefit from the fire, The fire is now attended to by the jailer, whose visits are unavoidably irregular, Fe: sulting in an uneven temperature of the .

KEITH CITIZENS INDIGNANT Bitter Denunciation of Omaha Newspaer Qorrespondent’s Methods, MATT DAUGHERTY TAKES THE STAND Alleged Destitution In the Northwestern Part of the County Sald to Have Been Very Much Exaggerated to the People's Injary. LINCOLN, Dec. 28.—(Special.)—Hon, Matt Daugherty of Keith county is bitter in his denunciation of what he terms misrepresen- tations of the correspondent of an Omaha paper concerning alleged destitution in the northwestern part of the state. Mr. Daugh- erty says that with the exception of Boyd county there is not a single county that is not able to take care of all its needy, so far as food and clothing is concerned. Many of the farmers will need help in the way of seed wheat, undoubtedly. He says that from the Ogalalla district, which has been scribed by the sensational western corre- spondent as in a horrible condition, but six applications have been made for relief. dmpressed with the earnestness of Mr. de- | Daugherty's statement a representative of The | Beo applied to several residents of what has been termed the stricken district for further information. 0. M. Grennell of Big Springs, Deuel county, says that hile there has been peated failures of ci the county is amy ablo {o take care of itself and is doing so present. Quite a number of the farmers will need seed wheat in the spring. Mr. Grennell stated that it had come to his knowledge that a number of families had drawn relief ani subsequently disposed of a number of head of stock. F. P. Morgan of Chappell, same county, fully corroborated Grennell. He states that ‘the county commissioners have made sultable provision for taking care of all the destitute, W. H.

He that the farme county harvested a better crop t the year previous, and that stock now than ever before and if there are ca he has failed to sheridan at that of his an they did there is more Trade is good, s of severe destitution of them. Allof these nilemen disclaimedwany: desire to impede the work of the te relef commi! n, and said that if such destitution existed as had been claimed in the papers, it should re mediate attention. But so far as they concerned, they had not learned of it. Mr. Daugherty admitted that there v iderable destituti even there he had heard of a one man drew relief who owned 100 head of cattle and had money in the bank. Mr. Grennell said, in reference to relief measures, that the Menonomites north of Julesburg were active in aiding all member of their sect, as was also the case with the Lutherans and German Methodist, Rev. L. P. Ludden, secretary of the state ef commission, says that he has had n clal reports of suffering during the late cold snap, but that he is informed that the conditions are such in many portions of the northwest that suffering must inevitably fol- low such severity of temperature. Funds for Drouth v were afferers. FREMONT, Neb., Dec. 28.—(Special.)—The | 0dd Fellows State Relief commission which met in this city at the office of Grand Sec- retary Gage this week, discussed very thor- oughly and fully the means of raising funds and supplies for drouth sufferers, and the methods of disposing of them. The conclu- sion was reached to solicit assistance from members only, and to distribute suppiies through their own channels, instead of turn- ing them over to the state commission. A carload of provisions and clothing, val- ued at $1,000, and collected by the Fremont Congregational church committee for the re- lief of drouth sufferers in Frontier county, was shipped last evening. A carload of coal contributed by members of the Congrega- tional church was shipped from the Glenrock mines to the same place. All these supplics will reach their destination by New Year's.

He reports certain of our people hav- ing become insane from loss of crops, and had to be sent to the asylum at Lincoln, Your correspondent has acted as a member of tho insanity board of this county, and from personal knowledge knows this statement of tho World-Herald man to be entirely false, and a slander upon the people of our county, Our people have been unfortunate, and many will need assistance to a certain ex- tont to enable them to live through the win- ter, feed thelr stock and secure seed ‘for an- other crop. But our people are not the kind to brood over their losses; they are a more plucky, persevering and enterprising class, The cry of hard times {s heard among our people no more often than from the people further east, Our peo- ple are thankful or the help and as- sistance rendered them by the good people who_are more fortunate, yet they have no admiration for the man cr paper who, through a desiro to becomc popular, magnifies our misfortunes, misrepresents our conditions and adds to our already heavy load.

The Board of Flre' ‘ond Police commis- sloners held a mectifg last night to con- sider applications for #aloon licenses and to hear the evidence in eases of protest. Chiet of Police Seavey, who {s in St. Louis, was mildly censured for not making more spe- cific charges against the saloons which he sald, without naming them, were conducting disorderly houses by ng_wine rooms and allowing disreputable characters to | haunt them. | " Protests were filed fn five cases and the testimony taken. 1In three of the cases the remonstrances were overruled and the Ii- censos ordered issued. One case was not dectded and the Pabst Brewing company was refused a license on the ground that liquor had been sold on Sutday. In the case of the Pabst Brewing company evidence was intro- duced which showed that the person making tho complaint_had a civil suit against that company for $10,000, and that the suit had been offered to led and the complaint withdrawn provided the company would pay the plaintiff in the civil case $200, or for $100 the complaint would be withdrawn and the civil action left standing.

Do M7t THERE'S A MAN IN THE CASE, Indlontions that Mrs. Notson Went to Joln n Lover Who Was Eieh. The declaration of a Nebraska sherlff that he knew where to lay his hands on Mrs. Notson, the school teacher who so mysterl- ously disappeared from the view of the public and numerous creditors some time ago, is given color by the fact that it has been dis- covered that Mrs. Notson had an ardent admirer in nearly the exact vicinity where the sheriff clalmed to have located her While Mrs, Notson was campaigning last fall she left the key to her private poste office box in the care of one of her lad friends. During the time that she absont this friend took care of her mail, which consisted mostly of four or five bulky letters each week from Mr. Notson. Thero were also numerous epistles from another man, with whose ldentity no one seems to be familiar. After Mrs. Hé Notson returned, and just be- fore election, sho showed an extract from one of these letters to her friend, after bind- ing her to secrc It had been written by a man who was considerably impressed with the charms of his correspondent and the extract which was exhibited consisted of a vehement appeal to her to obtain a divorce from her husband and marry the writer, Mrs. Notson did not divilge the identity of the writer, but said he was well oft and lived near Chadron, - She said at the time that she felt that if she went away at all she ought to go to her husband, but she found much that was congenial in her new admirer and_did not know just what she would do. On this occasion the postofice key was returned to Mrs. Notson by her friend and that was the last time she saw her. She did not think of the letter which she had seen until after she read In The Bee the statement of the sheriff that he knew Mrs. Notson was In that vicinity, and then e made up her mind that the unknown admirer had probably carried his point and that Mrs. Notson had decided to unite her destinies with hi —_——— Harper's Bazar gives correct [nformation Sold everywhere wade by six like c:orpparipg"fl Capdle tothe brilliapcy of the §un” fo compare other Soaps with SANTA CLAUS.
