Close at Early Hour, The rules fixing 11:30 p. m. as the closing time for saloons were left unchanged by the Excise board this morning. Exciseman Woods presented an amendment which pro- vided that the board could issue permits to have the saloons kept open after thet time on nights when there are conventions or large gatherings of people in the city. Excisemen Finney and Winnett, the other members, voted in the negative. While the meeting was in progress this morning Rev. Fletcher L. Wharton of St. Paul’s church presented the following peti- tion, accompanying it with a few remarks on the subject: We, the undersigned citizens and voters of Lincoln, Neb. respectfully request your honorable ‘board not to change the rules and rcgulations heretofore made in refer- ence to extending the houts of closing the saloons. This being a city wWhere great atherings, conventions and different meet- ngs are frequently being held and had, if the rules could be changed so as to favor ane gathering you will be constantly an- noyed, harrassed and petitioned to change them %0 as to_ fi difterent_gatherings. Belleving now fixed by the board is sufficiently late, we respectfully request your honorable body not to change the same, but to strictly enforce it. mite Veterans. treasurer of the National Society of the Army of the Philippines, has fssued a call for a meeting at the Lindell hotel next Thursday night for the purpose of or- ganizing a locpl branch of the organiz tion. On Tuesday, July 22, the state or- ganization of this soclety will be perfected in Lincoln. Captain Cosgrove has taken eps toward the organization of local chapters or posts in various parts of the state. P. H. Barry of Greely Center has certl- fled to the secretary of state that all of his expenses incident to securing the Sixth district fusion nomination for congress amounted to only $7.50. They are all cluded in one item—tor hotel accommoda- tions. Guardian for Lamaster. Judge Coruish has appointed C. O. Whedon and Hugh Lamaster guardians for M. F. Lamaster, the wealthy Lincoln man who hay just been released from the Hos- pital for Insane on a writ of habeas cor- pus. Mr. Lamaster was formerly one of the leading business men of the city. He lost heavily through the hard times and about, two years ago, when his mind fatled, was committed to the hospital. He has arly recovered hig senses. # The case insfituted by W. M. Clark of this oity to annul the bridge contract given by the Lancaster county commis- sioners to C. G. Sheeley, which has been under consideration in the district court for three was argued and finally submitted before Judge Frost this after- i | \ | noon. It is alleged by Mr. Clark, whe ap- pears in the case as » protesting taxpayer, that the contract is illegal and void be- cause other comtractors were not given a fair chance In the bidding and because the Instrument was executed at an irregular meeting held without the kmowledge or consent of one of the three commissioners. BALL FIGHT MORE ZEALOUS Contest /Over Sumday Games at Neo braska City Looks Like Fight to Finish. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., July 15.—(Spe- cial)—The Overland theater was comfort- ably filled last night with those who came to express their disapproval of the action taken against Sunday base ball by the “Law and Order” league. The meeting was called to order by Frank Gamerel, who was chosen as chair- nfan, and W. W. Reed was chosen secre- tary. After a number of persons had talked a subscription was called for and in a few minutes nearly $300 had been paid 1n or pledged. The committ appointed at that meet- ing to solicit subscriptions on the street were out today and added very materially to the fund. It is sald that the managers now have about $500 to fight their case through. The extremists on either side are few, although the mass of the people are get- ting more to sympathize with thos who demand the base ball recreation on the Sabbath. INNOCENTS GET BOGUS COIN Women mnd Children in Ha: Are Victims of Three Counterfeiters. HASTINGS, Neb., July 15.—(Special Tele- gram.)—A couple of counterfelters struck Hastings yesterday and succeeded in ex- changing several spurious colns for the genulne article. One of them entered C. A. Shirey's res- taurant during the absence of the proprietor and asked for change for a $10 gold plece. The little girl behind the counter gave him the correct change and was handed what ap- peared to be a $10 gold plece. When the proprietor returned and noticed the coin in the draw he tested 1t and found it to be counterteit. The police were notified, but the counterfeters had made their escape. It seems that therc are two or three in the gang and that they make it a point to » oft their spurious colne on women and little girls. The coln is just the welght of a $5 dollar gold plece and is dated 1808, . Miscreants Destroy School Property. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., July 15.—(Spe- cial.)—The Second Avenue school buflding was broken into a couple of nights since and the buillding marred and bedaubed by bottles of ink that were thrown at random about the rooms. The principal's office was torn all to pleces and the furniture broken. So far as can be learned nothing was taken. It is thought that it is the work of boys who bad a grudge against someone connected with the school.

WEATHER MORE FAVORABLE Orops in Distriot East of Rooky Mountains Shew Improvement. CORN MAKES PROGRESS DURING WEEK Spring Wheat is Heading While Oats Continue in Promising Condition Save in Nebraska and Towa. WASHWGTON, July 15.—The following is the Weather bureau's weekly summary of crop conditions: Very favorable temperatures prevalling during the week ended July 14, in all dis- tricts east of the Rocky Mountains, with the exception of the central and east Gulf states, which have suffered somewhat from exces- sive heat. A considerable portion of -these last mentioned districts, have, however, re- ceived much needed rains, relleving to a great extent the severe drouth that pre- vailed for several weeks, although more rain s greatly needed in some sections. Heavy rains have continued In the Missourl and upper Missiseippl valleys and portions of the Lake reglons, delaying cultivation and causing destructive freshets in places. The central and southern Rocky Mountain re- glons have euffered somewhat from low temperatures and frosts. Highly favorable conditions prevalled on the Pacific coast, especlally in Oregon and Washington. The corn crop as a whole, in the princl- pal corn states, has made very favorable progress, although needing cultivation In portions of Missourl and upper Missiselppi valleys and Lake reglons as a result of con- tinued rains, which have also reduced the acreage somewhat in lowa. In New Eng- land, New York and North Dakota corn Is very backward. Winter wheat is nearing completion, ex- cept in the northern portion of the winter wheat belt. The crop has experienced gen- eral slump, except in the Missouri valley, where complaints continue of speculation in stack and shocks. The morth Pacific coast winter wheat 1s maturing nicely and har- vest will begin In Oregon in about ten days. Spring wheat 1s now heading in the northern portion of the epring wheat re- gion and the genmeral outlook for this crop continues promising, although it is late In northern Minnesota. In lowa, where the crop has been damaged somewhat by rust, the outlook is less favorable, Oats continue in promising condition, but lodging is reported quite extensively in Ne- braska and Jowa and to some extent in Ohio. Harvesting has been interrupted by wet weather In the lower Missour!l valley, but has made good progress elsewhere. A general improvemnt In the condition of the cotton 1s indicated, although in the cen- tral and eastern districts the plant is small, and blooming to top Is extensively reported. In Texas, except in the region of drouth, which comprises less than 10 per cent of the cotton area, the crop has made rapld growth, and in many sections the prospects are flatterin; ROBINSON GETS RENOMINATION -— Populists First Name Tawney Plerce, but Give Way to the Democrats. COLUMBUS, Neb., July 15.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—After three hours eeparate deliber- atlon this afternoon the unanimous renomi- natfon of John S. Robinson for congress from the Third Nebraska district was ac- complished and then jointly ratified in a half hours' meeting together in the demo- cratlc hall, the scene closing with three cheers for the nominee and then at his sug- gestion three for Thompson and the state tieket with equal favor. Of the 242 dele- gates represented in each convention about 175 democrats and 125 populists were pres- ent. Charles Wooster of Merrick presided over the democratic and John C. Sprecher of Schuyler over the populist convention. There were mo contests in elther body and permanent organization was quickly eftected without change from the temporary organization. Conference committees of five each, headed by Douglas Cones of Plerco and A. H. Bohman of Antelope, dem- ocrat and popullst respectively, were soon in joint session and agreed that each con- vention should proceed to ballot until both succeeded im nominating the same man, The reeolutions committee in the demo- cratio conventfon, of which A. P. Childs of Wayne was chairman, secured the en- thusiastic approval of the convention by reafirming steadfast alleglance to the Kan- sas Clty platform, enthuslastically endorsing the course of the four fusion members from Nebraska of the lower house of congress, demanding legislation for the control of trusts and monopolies and condemning the republican majority in congress for its Phil- ippine and bank leglslation, Sendtor Allen, wWho came as a spectator to the populist convention, was by vote of that body made a member of the Madison delegation and was appointed chairman o the committee on resolutions, whose pro- duct, emphatically endorsed by the conn- tion, affirmed undylng alleglance to the last pational and state platforms of the pariy, eulogizes the fusion state ticket in mo un- certain terms and pats the fusion members of congress from Nebraska on the back most_lovingly. Roll call for nominations in the demo- eratic convention brought forth no other name than that of Robinson, Boone county having the alphabetical honor of first nam- ing him. The chlef speeches, however, were made by Memminger of Madison and Spokes of Merrick, both of whom eulogized the candidate in impassioned speeches. In the populist convention an informal ballot gave Robinson 91, R. O Tawney of Plerce 77, Sprecher 30, Allen 6, R. D. Kelley of Dodge 8. On the succeeding ballot Tawney got 117 to Robinson's 84 and he wa: unanimously made the choice of the pop- ulist convention. Robinson was twice chosen by acclamation in the democfatic conven- tion and in the populist convention, during the progress of the third ballot, Tawney withdrew in his favor, quickly bringing about the unanimous jolnt renomination of the man from Madison. of BEATRICE, Neb,, July 16.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Tiaffic on ths Union Pacific road be- tween here and Manhattan, Kan., has been interrupted because of a landslide one mile south of Maryville, Kan.
