Judges Day, Batelle and Baxter aro regular republioan nominees. Opponents to the non-partisan ticket as prepared kicked up considerable dust in the convention, but their tactios merely prolonged the meeting and effected no ob- struction whatever to the well ofled plan of ‘the dominant democratic leaders. It re- quired an hour to do the business and the delegates were so anxious to get away that they declined to listen to a speech from gar Howard of Columbus, who had ob- werved the spectacle. Howard therefore stood In the doorway and grasped the hands of his “admirers” as they filed out. Sort of Serlo-Comedy. The doings had comic essence all the way through. When Chalrman Bd P. Smith called the convention to order there was a crowd of interested republicans hanging about the door. Mr. Smith made no ado about calling the convention to order. He told the delegates to get buey. J. H. Cumeron, a venerable democrat, with an umbrella which he used as a gavel, w chosen chairman, and J. A. C. Kennedy was named as secretary. Mr, Cameron apparently had little taste for speech as Mr. Smith and for a while sat staring blankly at the opposite wall while waiting for something to happen. After a decorous perfod a delegate proposed that as there were no contests those present be accredited as delegates and vote for absentees. This was arranged cnd roll call was dispensed with, Bventually the chairman discerned a man standing In the rear of the room, and rapping loudly with his umbrella, called for sllence. The volce of W. 8. SBhoemaker broke the silence. Shoemaker advanced the information that many democrats had con- siderod it wise to endorse the bar ticket, but, he remarked, considerable feeling had been engendered against one candidate. Then he threw tiny bouquets at Dickinson, Day, Bstells, Read, Page and Ferguson, leaving only Baxter undecorated. Smith for Equality. This forgetfulness secured a frise out of Ed P. Smith, who déclared emphatically that if anyone from the bar ticket was en- dorsed they all ought to be endorsed. The advantage to be gained, he said, would lie in, the fact that the nominees were chosen by the lawyers acting for the best inte: esta of the people. “I want a judge,” he announced, ‘‘who is above politics, above religion, above money and above ulterior influences of pvory kind.” Judge Baxter i ambitious without measure, he declargd, but a more honest, upright judge never sat upon the bench,” Colonel Hopper wanted the two demo- cratic candidates, Page and Ferguson, nom- fnated by acclamation first, and to let the remainder “of this non-partisan outfit” take their chances later. C. 8. Montgomery thought the same way and had some other thoughts whioh he nsisted upon iInfusing into the convention, although many rude efforts were made to induce him to forget all about it and sit down. The chalr, which had been busy making rulings declaring all motions and amend- ments to nominate anything less than the whole ticket out of order, then suddenly found that it was wrong and reversed its decision. This caused long and vociferous yelling for a vote, but Carl C. Wright bravely stemmed the current and at last calmed the troubled sea. Ie talked for ten minutes with great fervof, telling the delegates that if they intended to make any kind of & non-partisanship plea they would have to lump the bar ticket as nearly. as they could or the people would laugh at them. J. J. O'Conner followed along the same lines, adding that Judge Baxter was | right and that he was always on hand “whether it was a mandamus that was ‘wanted or something else. Shoot Darts at the Bar. C. 8. Montgomery and ¥. E. Munn cast a fow sauoy darts at the bar meeting that put up the slate and Mr. Munn was in- vited to it down by an unnamed voice and sald he wouldn't but finally did, ap- parently having sald his say. Finally the chairman, by dint of valiant effort and persistently charging unruly members and subduing them by brandish- ing his umbrella, succeeded in quelling the tornado that had ensued. Secretary Kennedy called the roll. On the nomjnation of Page and Ferguson the chalrman had declared the ayes in the majority. The strict accounting, however, found 10% ayes to 83)4 noes. The bar can- didates werg then nominated, with the sub- stitution of Ferguson for Herman Aye, by & vote of 114% to 9%. This nomination was made unanimous in the following manner: The Chairman—The vote is upon & motion to make the nominations unanimous. All in favor of the motion will say aye. The Convention—Aye—(loud and drawn out). Groans from the Fall The Chair—Gentlemen, the ayes have it. The nominations are unanimous. (Groans long- | trom the vanquished.) None of the nominees were in sight, so Carl C. Wright presented a resolution de claring that the democracy approved the principal of a nonpartisan judiclary and | that the ticket nominated was presented to raise the standard of the bench. It was adopted “unanimously,” while & man who claimed to be a country delegate voeifer- ated his belief In & straight democratic ticket and a straight democratic ticket only. Bd P. Smith was re-elected ehairman of the judicial committee, while he protested that he didn't want the job, having plloted two judiclal tickets to defeat. He and Candidates Page and Ferguson were au- thorized to select the other, members of the committee. Taking the Girl Home. Chief of Detectives MoNutt of Des Moines & In the city.

Bamson has in fact given out the bugle cry known to all knights far and wide, the command which first won fame in the long ago, the command as to the proper manner for knights to step. And all of them, by Bamson's command, will be step- ping that way tomorrow night and Monday night of next week. That Is, all knights who do not bring with them to the den one or more candi- dates, for to such knights special honor will be pald by the grand mufti and they will be admitted first to the hard bolled rush with which the ceremonies will close. One of the speclal foatures for tomorrow night, and the word “one’ is used advisedly, for there will be others, will be the Ideal male quartet. This quartet, composed of Lucius Pryor and Will McCune, tenors, and J. C. MecIntyre and Will Manchester, bassos has been procured after extensive, exhaus. tive and altogether extraordinary effort on the part of the board of governors, and will sing several of the late and popular alrs, (ncluding “Hiawatha.” A strong screen has been provided and will be placed in front of the singers when they begin “Hiawatha,” and strict order will be main- talned by special guards. . Arrangements for the Ak-Sar-Ben carni- val, Ootober 1 to 10, are progressing rapidly and favorably. A number of merchants have already secured exhibition booths, and all those who desire booths are urged to reserve space immediately, thereby se- curing better locations and assisting the management tn making the final plans of the grounds. Falr with Carnival. Under final arrangements made yesterday the Douglas county fair will be held in connection with the carnival. It will occupy the west slde of Nineteenth from Douglas to Farnam and the east side of Nineteenth from Douglas to the alley. The county fair this year will, Secretary Hervey of the Douglas County Agricultural soclety states, be larger and better than any year in the past. This is not simply “fair’ talk, Mr. Hervey says, 'but s what is expected on account of the change in making exhibits and awarding prizes. There will, of course, be individual exhibits In the different classes, as in past years, but in addition there will be precinct collective exhibits, Just at state fairs. This plan of collective ex- hibits has made a big hit and been very successful wherever tried, and the fair managers believe it will be a big success her: Manager Pony Moore has assigned the tennis grounds on the north side of Farnam between Eighteenth and Nineteenth to Thad Sowder’'s broncho busters. Sowder is the cowboy and broncho buster who appeared espectally before King Edward and who “broke” the western horse now ridden by President Roosevelt, who is one of his per- sonal friends, He traveled for a number of years as chief cowboy with Buftalo Bill, but now has a show of his own, which is not a show of all natlons, but of its class has never béen equalled or even approached by any other combination. Jack Wright and a number of other noted cowboys are with the show, and they have the biggest | number of outlaw horses, Including Topedo, | ever brought together. Negotiations with the Hawallan Glee club have been concluded and the club, it can positively be announced, will be here. There are sixteen members, including all those who made such a success of the Hawallan village and so many friends in Omaha dur- ing’ the Greater American exposition. . CATCHES A CHEAP THIEF Man Who Robbed Street Car Men's Club Box is Detectéd in the Act. Night Foreman Albert J. Beall of the street rallway company g being congratu- lated by his friends for accompiishing & smooth plece of detective work in a case in which the thief had escaped detection for some time, although all manner of | schemes have been tried to detect him. The employes of the street rallway com- pany have a club room over the Ames ave- | nue car barn. The monthly dues collected from each member of the club amount to 15 cents. Owing to the fact that it is not convenient for the members to see the sec- retary of the organization each month for the purpose of paying their dues, a box was arranged with a slot in it in the club rooms into which the money enclosed in an envelope with the payee's name upon it could be dropped. All of the members have been in the habit of dropping their 15 eents in monthly, and thelr names have been posted on a blackboard in the room at the end of each month so that all might see who were in good standing. When the lst of August arrived a large number of nam did not appear on the board, and a strenu- oue kick was filed by many of the mem- bers who had put their money In the box. Only one solution was offc 'ed for the prob- lem. The box had been robbed. When September 1 came around with like results, |1t was decided that something had to be done. A watch was placed to try and de- teot the thief, but it was of no avail, Fin- ally Foreman Bealls took the matter in hand. He opened the box and pasted & plece of paper over the slot. When he examined the paper the following day there were a number of small holes punched through it. This was enough for the fore- man and he immediately arranged a strip of Un over the slot and connected it up with a wire. A bell was attached to the other end of the wire and placed on the | wall in the office. Yesterday the bell rang | and Mr. Beall rushed upstairs. He found the thief In the act of inserting a small hook in the slot. The name of the gullty party would not be divulged by the fore- man. He Is an employe of the company and a member of the club, but he will prob- ably not feel very comfortable when he looks the otber club members in the face hereafter. Twelve dollars was the total amount secured by the thief during the past six weeks. SEES FATHER PUT IN JAIL Five-Year-0ld Hoy Beholds Parent Imprisonment for Being Drunk.

Gathering Last of Kind Under Supervision of State Department, The Grand Army of the Republic state reunion at Hastings, which has claged, 18 pronounced a big success. The next state reunion will be held iIn Omaha next year. It is regarded as guite probable that after the Omaha reunion the practice of holding these reunions under the direct supervision of the state Grand Army of the Republic department will be abandoned, and that district reunions will be substituted there- fore. However, there will be one general state reunion which will likely be elther at Lincoln or Omaha each year. The state reunion following so closely after the annual department encampment which latter are merely the oficial delogate gatherings of the department, 1t 18 thought Involves too much detall work upon the department offic- tals and are often confused with the state encampments. For this reason the general reunions will hereafter be left in charge of the localities In which they are held with- out reference to the officlal recognition of the state Grand Army of the Republic department.
