HAVDEN: HAYDEN HAYDEN; HAYDEN WOULD LIKE THEIR PLACES Rosignations of Fish Commissioners Oakley and Meikle Would Be Accepted, GOVERNOR HOLCOMB MAY ASK THEM o tate Fishery a Disagrees abers as to LINCOI point to a re . 25.—(Special.)—Indications rzanization of the state fish com- mission at an early date. Mes:rs. R. H. Oakley of Lincoln and J. B. Mekle of Omaha, the re- publican commissioners, called on the gov- ernor late this afternoon, anl W. L. May of Omaha, the democratic member, was in consultation with the yesterday. It s known that there has be considerable friction recently among the members of the commission, and considerable animosity was aisplayed during tho Omaha state fair. The cakes of ice floating around in the brook trout aquariums were not cooler than the atmosphere In the fisheres exhibit building when Commissioner May in With his associates, The cause of all this ill feeling sesms to exccutive came contact be M. E. O'Brien, superintendent of the fisherles. Mr. O'Brien draws a sa'ary of $1,600, besides house rent and incidentals. When he was appointed O'Brien was supposel to be a democrat, but durlng the last state campaign of republicans he lent his efforts to tho element represented by Majors and similar leaders. He was esp-cally bitter in his fight on Bdgar Howard, editor of the Paplllion Times, a warm persosal friend of Governor Holcomb. It is understood that Mr. May has been in favor of relieving Mr. O'Brien from duty, while the republican men bers havo insisted on his retention After the conference tolay between Gover- nor Holcomb and Messrs. Melkle and Oakley a Lincoln gentleman who is very frieadly with one of the commissioners remarked thst the governor had announced his in‘ention of making a change in a few days, He said the governor baszed his action on the lack of harmony existing among the commissioners. The term of Mr. May, who was confirmed by the senate, expired last June and he is merely a hold-over. Messrs. Oakley and Meikle wer: appointed by Governor Crouse and thelr terms of office expire in June, 1896, and June, 1897, respectively. Neither was confirmed by the senate, however, and the governor therefore contends that organize with an entirely he can re new commission if he desires. The friends of the republican members in- sist that one of them will be retained, but that would appear to be unlikely, if Mr. May is reappointed. Mr. May has been at the head of the Nebraska fish commission since its or- ganization and is prominently mentioned for appointment by President Cleveland as United States fish commissi Pr. Commissioner J. B. Melkle, when seen late last evening at his residence, said that he had not received any leiter from Governor Holcomb requesting his resignation. He ad- mitted that he had spent the afterncon with the governor at Lincoln, but denfed that any change in the etate fish commission was dis- cussed at this meeting. Fine Agricultural NORTH LOUP, Neb (Speclal.) Perhaps tha largest and certainly the best collection of farm and garden produets from aplay. one townshin ever seen in this part of the state was massed at a bullding assigned to that use yesterday. By 3 o'clock the room began to look crowded and Committeeman Strong, whose duty it was to receive and recelpt for the exhibits offered, began to look anxiously around for room to pile up the miscellancous collection without injury. But the stream of exhibits continued to flow, until the very floor was covered from side to side, and koee-deep with a most handsowme display of all vegetables, fruits and grains peculiar to this climate. The committee feels confident t this township can make an exhibit at the Valley county fair, which opens today, that will secure premiums for best township exhibits. T STA h Grants the atrn- es and Telds. —(Special.)—Governor Holcomb today announced his decision' in the case of Barnes and Flelds, alleged bank swindlers, who are wanted in Kansas City Mo., for defrauding two banks of §600. The governor took the matter under advisement lost evening after listening to argument on both sides and this morning he decided to grant the requisition of the governor of Mis- souri. It is understood that efforts will be made in Omaha to retain the prisoners under arrest there by habeas corpus proceedings. The certificate of nominations of the popu- list state convention were filed today with th secretary of state. It was signed by Secre- of the State Central Committee Frank 1t was given out today that Judge W. 3 HOUSE. P FROM Governor Hole dition of Bar: LINCOLN, Sept. Stark of Aurora has positively resigned the chiarmanship of the committee. This body will meet next Friday at Lincoln and elect a successor. It Is considered quite likely that J. A. Edgerton will be the man named to succeed Stark. Mr. Edgerton was secre- tary of the state central committee last year and is now clerk in the office of the bureau of industrial statistics under Deputy Labor Commissioner Powers. Judge Stark assi as a reason for not being able to serve & chiairman of the committee too much business of a personal nature Governor Holcomb desires to direct atten- tion to the fact that the conference of west- ern states to be held at Topeka the 1st of October is open to a larger representation than is surmised by many who are interested In the movement. The arranged plan pro- vides that the governor of each state and territory west of the Mississippi shall be a delegate ex-ofiicio. He is authorized to select twelve delegates at large, two of whom shall be its United States senators, and four dele- gates at large from each congressional dis trict, one of whom shall be the member of congress or territorial delegate-elect. In ad- dition to these the president of each Chamber of Commerce, or Board of Trade, or other con merclal body, is made a delegate, with au- thority to appoint an alternate if the pres dent s unable to attend. All members of the permanent Interstate Deep Harbor commit tee are made delegates. The mayor of each city west of the Mississippl river is a dele- gate. He is empowered to appoint one addi- tional delegate for each 10,000 inhabitants or fraction thereof of his city and is also em- powered to appoint an alternate should he unable to attend. It is to this latter pro- vision concarning the mayors to which Gov- ernor Holcomb wishes to call especlal at tention and trusts that each city in Nebraska over the 10,000 census will see to It that it is fitly represented at the Tope gathering. Articles of incorporation were filed today with the secretary of state of the Crawford company of Omaha. The busivess of the as sociation will be buying and selling town lots and lands, incorporating and laying out villages, digging canals and supplying water power. The capital stock is $150,000, and the incorporators aré A. E. Hobson, W. J. Forbes, J. R. Hickox and Charles J. Grable. Want Better Rallrond Facilities.

Fowlie is still at work on the books in the office of the city clerk. He informs The Bee representative that there has been issued warrants amounting to perhaps $40,000 that, 80 far as there is any record now to be had, were unauthorized, but by correspondence with parties to whom issued he has ascer- tained that the greater portion of these war- rants were for supplies actually furniched and ordersd paid by the council, although no record of such action can be found. He states that it is very difficult to trace just what are genuine what are spurlous warrants, as so many of the records of the clerk’s offic> have been destioyed.
