D., May 7.—(Special.)—The uestion of who will be the nominees of the blican state convention 1s being sim- jined by the process of elimination In some ses, and the settling of which will be be- re the convention, where more than one ndidate has appeared in a county. The rant county convention eliminated Bently 2 possibility in the race for railroad com- ssioner, and while the Indieations now piat to Smith of HAnd county as the leader br this position, Day and Marshall coun- es each have a candidate for this place in G. Ochsenreiter of Webster and Richard llams of Langford. If surface indica- one are to be considered as a gulde to r its, the Hand county man will be the inee. The results of the county conventions so r held indicate the practically unanimout nomination of the present “first termer d the return of the present congressional legation. The fight on the return of Lieutenant overnor Snow In his own county, which s to send a delegation In favor of Land- jan for treasurer instead of Snow, appears have falled to materialize and he will pd no opposition when the convention jeets. The result of this same convention jears the fleld for the treasurership and javes Collins of Brown with no opposi- n, and the convention all his own. Halladay of Kingsbury for auditor and Il of Brookings for attorney general are etty certaln. The position of commissioner of achool d public lands Is to be contested for by ch of Turmer and Truran of Grant. A peral view of the fleld indicates that ch has the best of the situation.

The leaders this fight appear to be Nash of Lincoln d Lange of McCook. D. H. Brewster of nborn has announced himself as a can- date for this place, and several others being considered in that light.

Comment on the Withdrawal of Savage | Table Rock Argus: One of the wisest de- cisions Governor Savage has reached was that arrived at and announced on Monday that he would not be a candidate for gov- ernor. Stanton Picket: Governor Savage has finally fssued that declinatory letter. He will not be a candidate for renomination. This is the most politic act of his admin- istration, Custer County Republican Since Gov. ernor Savage has announced his withdrawal from the gubernatorial race the public feels A great rellef, and both his friends and opponenta breathe easler. Nebraska Advertiser: Governor Savage has announced that he will not be a can- didate before the republican convention. The people came to the same decision sev- eral months ago. Tekamah Journal: Governor Savage, al- though slow of comprehension, finally came to the conclusion that he could not be re- nominated for governor and has withdrawn from the conte The record he will carry with him will not be & very bright legacy. Winside Tribun Governor Bavage has flatly declined to allow his name to be used 8 a candidate and thereby has wonder- fully eased the political situation. It is no secret that he was buncoed and hoodooed all through his administration and it is no wonder that he has concluded to no longer be a catspaw for his friends. Norfolk New: It is stated that Governor Savage's friends induced him to withdraw from the race. It will now be of interest to the republican voters to ascertain whom the governor's friends wish to be in the race, and he they should oppose If they wigh the republican party of the state to be removed from the swamp into which they have rum it. West Nebraska Observer: Governor Sav- age has withdrawn from the race for re- nomination. The announcement has been expected for some time, for it 1s well known over the state that he hadn't a ghost of a show to win. The governor atill stands by his action in pardoning Joe Bartley, and it ‘was that pardon that turned the republicans agalnst him, David City Banner: Governor Savage has wisely concluded to drop out of the guber- natorial race. Sentiment among the repub- licans was so universal against the gov- ernor In his actions In pardoning Bartley that he saw the handwriting on the wall and concluded to drop out of the race rather than suffer overwhelming defeat for & renomination. Blair Republican: Governor Savage has announced that he s not a candidate for re-election. All his promises that tho “people would be satisfied when they knew his reasons for pardoaing Bartley” have faded Into thin alr and none of the funds stolen have been turned over to the state. wi Treasurer Stuefer follow the gov- Burt County Herald: Governor Savage has publicly announced that he will not be & candldate for re-election. The reason as- signed is ‘that he does not wish to further embarrass his loyal friends and more es- pecially his party, by remalning longer in the fleld.” If the governor had been more thoughtful of his friends and party wish prior to this time his standing, politically, would not demand & withdrawal. Osceola Record: Governor Savage has announced his withdrawal from the race for renomination. This {8 no surprise to well posted men who have watched the trend of things in the state. The only surprising thing about it is that it did not come sooner. In his announcement of his with- drawal he takes occasfon to defend the Bartley pardon and this fact does not tend to raise him any higher in the estimation of the people of the state. Central City Nonpareil: Governor Sav- age has issued a letter withdrawing from the race for governor. He has apparently been laboring under the misapprehension that he wi in the ra a view of the situation not genmerally accepted through- te. However, let that be as it may, no one will regret that tKe political atmosphere has been entirely cleared up and this unpleasant feature eliminated from the campalgn. It remains for the repub- —_— licans to agree on some strong, clean man for the nomination, supported by good tim- ber for the rest of the ticket, and the pros- pects for the fall campaign are all that could be asked. Wakefleld Republican: Governor Ezra P. Savage has formally announced his with- drawal as a candidate for governor. He ®ays that he does this so as not to further embarrass hie loyal friends, and more espe- clally the republican party, by remaining longer in the fleld. It is well that he has thus early announced his withdrawal from the race, as his chances for getting the nomination were few and far between. Neligh Leader: The public announce- ment s made by Governor Savage that he will not be a candidate before the repub- llcan state convention for the position of governor. While perhaps there would he small chance of his securing a sufficleat number of votes to insure his nomination, yet the fact of his withdrawal will be a source of gratification to republicans, re- moving as it does an extremely discordant element from the canvass. Northern Nebraska Journal: The contest for nomination for governor is simplified somewhat by the withdrawal of Governor Savage from the race, for a governor al- ways has a certain following from those whose positions depend upon his re-election. Had he remalned in the fight it would have been the fleld against Savage, and while he would certainly have been defeated, yet his candidacy would have complicated mat- ters to a great extent. Now it is a free- for-all fight and the best man wins. Kearney Hub: The republican news- papers of the state are taking the with- drawal of Governor Savage with becoming g00d grace, but most of them are at the same time cautioning their republican con- stituents that there is still need of “vigi- lance” with respect to the make-up of the next state convention. The only disap- pointed and disgruntled ones are those long- headed fusionists who wanted Savage re- nominated, for purposes of thelr own. North Platte Tribune Governor Sav- age's withdrawal from the gubernatorial race simplifies matters to some extent and has resulted in renewed activity on the part of a dozen or more candidates. The Tribune has no particular choice for gov- ernor; any good, clean and able man will be satisfactory. Any republican candidate who commands popular confidence can be elected this fall. Nebraska Signal: On Monday Governor Savage Informed the public of what the public had already been informed for many weeks, viz: that he is not a candidate for governor. Mr. Savage has not been a can- didate for governor since the first day of January, although he may not have known it himself. With a very few, but very ex- ceptional, exceptions Mr. Savage's admin- istration has been among the best the state has ever had. Public business has been dispatched promptly and unusual economy has been practiced at most of the state In- titutions. Savage would have swept the state like a whirlwind at the convention this summer and at the polls this fall If he had not permitted himself to be led into a few fatal blunder: Crete Vidette-Herald: The expected has happened. Governor Savage has very wisely withdrawn his name as a candidate for renomination. The Vidette-Herald entertains for Governor Savage only the best of wishes. His administration has been honest and economical and had it not been for the pardoning of Bartley he would have been his own successor. The rank and file of the republican party had taken a firm stand on ths: question, and the convention one year ago reflected the sentiment of the people. When a public officer runs counter to the deliberative volce of the people he places himself in the position of a fellow who would head off a herd of stampeding buffalo. If the man values his life he must “get out of the way,” for the buffalo have got started with heads down and talls rising, and all hades couldn’t stop ‘em or turn their cour: Callaway Courler: Governor Savage has caused to be published a letter formally de- clining to be a candidate for renomination. He says he does not wish to embarrass his loyal friends nor to endanger the success of his party by remaining longer in the fleld. He expresses satisfaction with his adminis- tration thus far and would not change one official act had he the power. He realizes that his pardon of Bartley has met with strong disapproval from many citizens, most of whom he thinks are honest in their opin- fons, although he belleves they are less con- “I now frankly state that with all the re- sults of that act before me I would com- mute his sentence today were it still une done.” The withdrawal of the governor is not unexpected. Both he and his friends have sense enough to know that remaining in the _race simply subjected him to further hu- millation and invited Inevitable defeat. The fleld s now clear for the nomination of a republican state ticket that will command the universal support of the republican party and prove a winner next fall. Bayard Transcript: Governor Savage Is out of it. He has published a letter with- drawing from the gubernatorial race. We are glad the governor has been struck by a gleam of reason at last, but as a matter of fact there was no necessity for his with- drawal, for he has never been In the race at all. He tried hard enough to get in, but was scratched by all the judges. Our fusion friends, who seem to “love him for the enemies he has made,” now have the chance of their lives to prove their love by placing him at the head of their ticket. Fremont Tribune: Governor Savage bas announced his withdrawal from the fleld as a candidate for the republican nomination to the place he now holds. This action of the governor's ls exactly in accord with what these who have been familiar with the situation have for many weeks predicted and expected. It soon became apparent, after the governor had commuted the sen- tence of Bartley, that he had gone con- trary to an overwhelming public sentiment, that he had falled to properly understand what the people of the state thought of such executive clemency The influentia' men high in the councils of all political parties of the state could not appease the wrath of the people. The republican press stood almost as a unit against the actin and repudiated it with great vigor. Pub- lic sentiment was thus aroused. It would be madness for any man to undertake to ig- nore the influence of a united press in this or any other matter. So far as the gov- ernor s concerned, he seems to be fully and conscientiously persuaded that Bartley should have been glven a commutation of his sentence and that he did right in dofng so. It the reasons for it are valid, the pro- priety of the governor's action will eventu- ally be acknowledged, for truth and justice must in the end prevall. It there are reasons welghty enough to justify the com- mutation, the public has not yet been given them. If there are reasons yet to be re- vealed, until then, at least, the governor's act will remain under the ban of public disapproval. Beatrice Time: The formal withdrawal of Governor Savage as a candidate for the nomination for governor will afford rellef to the great body of the republicans of Nebraska, who, while regarding him highly #s a man and citizen, looked upon his fur- ther candidacy as a menace to the coming state ticket. It s not essentlal to call attention to the attitude of nearly the en- tire aggregalon of republicam newspapers in this state in opposition to welghting down the new state ticket with his name. He has spared us this trouble. In the let- ter to the public announcing his withdrawal the governor says, In part: “After thought- ful consideration of the matter I have concluded it best not to turther embarrass my loyal friends, and more especially my party, by remaining longer iIn the fleld, thus standing In the , way of some one who would bring more peace and harmony into the convention.” That talk is manly. It dlsplays the patriotism of the governor. It places him head and shoulders above the politicians who tried to make him and the republicans of the state belleve that once nominated, his election would be assured. Grand Island Independent: Governor Savage last evening announced his with- drawal from the race for the candidacy for governor at the hands of the republican convention. In his statement he admits that his candidacy was embarrassing to his triends and to the republican party and he withdraws his name. His friends state that while the promise has nothing to do with the Bartley pardon, yet the promise was made that he would receive certain support for remomination. This support failed for the simple reason that the republicans over the state would not be held up for the re- ward promised and those who made the promise did not have the goods to deliver. And so the Savage career begins to end. The end is better, for Savage, than if he had insisted on coming before the conven- tlon. Such action would have beem met with an overwhelming and humiliating de- feat. The governor and his friends saw the inevitable and were wise enough to get from under. fssued a card in which he states positively that he will not be a candidate for re-elec- tion, and this announcement should be somewhat soothing to sundry editors who | have worked themselves up to a frenzy over the possibility that he would remain in the race. The governor insists that he did the right thing in the matter of the Bartley pardon, and says that he would do the same thing again under like circum- ances, but he realizes that the tempest stirred up by his action would be embar- rassing to the party and his friends if he were again a candidate, and in the Interest of harmony and peace on earth he grace- fully withdraws, “with malice toward none, and charity for all.” There Is no question about this being the wisest course, for the republican party has a strong fight to make in Nebraska this year, and it must have at the head of the ticket a man who will be acceptable to all the party voters. The nomination of Mr. Savage would precipitate a row that might be disastrous. The gov- ernor will retire from the office with the consclousness that his administration has been wise and economical and strong, ana hie excellent services will be better appre- clated a few years hence than they are at this time, when so many people are 8o in- censed over his alleged blunder in the Bart- ley matter that they forget or overlook the | Beatrice Express: Governor Savage h-s! | splendid work he has done in other di- rectlons. St. Paul Republican: While the with. drawal of Governor Savage from the fleld as a candidate for renomination is a most timely and sensible act, 8o far as that gen- tleman is personally coucerned, there are certain reasons why it Is to be regretted. The announcement of his candidacy, shortly after the Bartley pardon was granted, was accepted as a square joining of the issues between the treasury looters and the re- putable element of the party. It was hoped that the contest for party supremacy might be fought to a finish In the state convention and that the hosts of evil would be so badly routed that they would never more dare to enter Nebraska politics. Had Savage re- mained in the race as the avowed candidate of the Bartley beneficiaries there is no ques- tion but that this result would have been attained. Now that he has been forced off the track it is important that no less no- torfous but equally objectionable candidate shall be folsted upon the ticket. The dan- ger is not vet over. Eternal vigilance will be the price of freedom from the corrupt clique which has dominated recent conven- tions and legislatures. A man must be named for governor by the republicans this year whose character is above reproach. Let not the withdrawal of Governor Savage lull anyone to sleep. The fight will not be won until the state convention meets in June. York Times: Governor Savage's formal announcement that he would not be a can- didate for renomination was no surprise ts those who are in a position to cast a horo- scope. He has been greatly misrepresented and misquoted, but the fact is he has never wanted to be governor at all. It is dis- tasteful to him and a burden that he will gladly lay off. Things have been said for him that he did.not say nor even indorse, and he has been injured more or less and wounded deeply by the indiscretions of his friends and by a perversion of things he actually did say. Had he been a candidate it would have been from deference to the ‘wishes of those near him and for the benefit of his dependents rather than for himself. ‘To him it would have been a sacrifice. But when the shrill cry of the country press reached his ear, after the Bartley pardonm, he knew as well as anyone that he was not an available candidate, and when the volce of condemnation came up from almost every republican paper in the state, the governor himself knew very well what it meant, even though younger and less astute ones would not listen. He has made no threats of ven- geance, he has never sald any promises weré made him when he pardoned Bartley nor that the pardon was granted with any expectation of political reward or reward of any kind. He has not compromised him- self In any of these ways and the rumors to that effect are groundless. He feels that he has done his duty, bravely and hon- estly, and has no regret at laying down the burden of office nor any malice toward any- one. ver to enlarge the Boston-Wyoming smelter here at once.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., May T. pecial.)— State officials who have visited numerous streams in the state and have gauged the flow of water say there is bound to be a ehortage of water this summer and fall. With the possible exception of the Laramie Peak country the snowfall last winter was very light 1n all localities, especially in the Blg Horn and Grand Encampment sec- tions. There s very little snow on the headwaters of the three Crow creeks, west of Cheyenne, and it is predicted that Chey- enne will experience a shortage of water again this summer. Another year, how- ever, the big reservolr will have been con- structed and there will be plenty of water for Cheyenne for all time to come. Many Irrigation Enterprises.

Burget, who keeps a lying-in house, was called In police court yesterday morning and after the testimony of the prosecuting witness, Marie Thomas of Early, Ia., had been taken, was continued yotil Friday. The charge against Mrs, Burget was mistreating two bables and de. priving them of suficient food. The prosa- cuting witnees, when asked as to the amount of food given the bables In the care of Mrs. Burget, stated that they were fed every two hours on “econdensed milk, full weight.” “She also gave the bables whisky and sometimes paregoric,”” continued the wit- ness, who didn’t know why the medicine was given, unless it was to keep the bables asleep, #0 as not to disturb the inmates of the house. “At other times," sald the witness, “Mrs. Burget seemed to lose her patience and would plek a baby up by placing her hands around its walst, and shake it good." The Thomas woman's baby is now at the Child’s Saving institute and is one of the babies Mrs. Burget is alleged to have mis- treated. Mrs. Burget came Into some notorfety recently, when Health Officey Gibbons found that she had been giving aWay bables born in her house to irresponsible parties, one woman who was living on the bounty of other people baving taken five.

TRAINS TO LEAD VERY SOON Tracklaying en Elkhorn Line Begins and Will Be Pushed General Manager Bidwell of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad an- nounced yesterday that tracklaying on the extension from Deadwood to Lead City in South Dakota began this morning. The track will be down in ten days and trains running into Lead two weeks hence. This marks the final step in the comple- tion of a bit of railroad which, despite its shortness, Involved some fine points in en- gineering and some stupendous propositions In grading. Three and one-half miles of new road is to be bullt and the expendi- ture Involved is $260,000, which s at the rate of more than $1 an inch. The line was begun last October, immed!- ately after the Burlington purchased the Black Hills & Fort Plerre road. The Elk- horn had since 1889 run {nto Lead from Pledmont over this road and when the Bur- lington took it was compelled to build in a line of its own or stay out of the town where the Homestake mines are located. The maximum grade is only 2% per cent, which {s very mild considering the profile of that country and the great difference in the elevation of the two cities. The total mileage between the two by the Elkhorn tracks is five miles. For a mile and a half it follows the old narrow guage into the hills on a third rail standard guage. Then the new road begins, and for three miles and a half to the Lead end there ls a constant succession of huge cuts and enormous fills, with no level ground, and everything practically solid rock. In all 166,000 cublc yards of rock and dirt was cut out, and 140,000 cublc yards of filling was done. Completion of this road was expected by February 15, but contractors underesti- mated the difficulties of the grading, and this was not finished In time to avold the heavy spring snows, which then set it back greatly. Many hundred men and teams have been employed on the job all along, as it was a rush matter from the firat. Your business cares will vanish if you always call for Cook's Imperial Extra Dry, when you drink Champagne. America’s Good Taste ls again strikingly illustrated.

Tho observer will note countenances #ull of feverish anxiety, harrassed looks, un« steady hands, faltering steps, twlitching muscles, pallid faces and started, anxious looks when unusual noises are made. Such people are, without doubt, victims of merv- ous prostration, bysteria or insomnia. The whole system suffers—the brain, the spival cord and the sympathetic system. It is unnecessary to dilate minutely on the causes of nervousness.
