Plans of the Fu The democratic state committee will open headquarters in Omaha during the coming week and will place a lieutenant in charge. Whether the populists will open at the \same time and the two be run under a joint head is not known here now, because Chair- man Hall of the state committee and Lee Herdman are both out of town. The line of work to be mapped out by the headquarters in Omaha will be along the line of the Nebraska City democratic convention, which indorsed Judge Paul Jessen, the republican nominee for_judge of the Fifteenth district, in districts where the demodrats have absolutely no show of electing the judge. This will be done as an indication that the democrats are for & nonpartisan judiclary, provided that Judge Bullivan is elected supreme judge. It is sald here by those who come in to talk politics that the action of the demo- crats at Nebraska City will be followed by them in every district in the state where the democrats have mo show of election, but only in those districts. The scheme was hatched out by the knowing ones to draw vates to Judge Sullivan, but its cover- ing was too thin to hide its insincerity. In the meantime the republican commit- tee officers are keeping busy working along organization lines and the news from over the state is that much interest is being taken in the campaign. A number of poli- ticlans were here this week and were at the headquarters, but these came mostly to attend the fair, and except to report at the rooms did little else. Poll books have been matled out and the work is being done systematically to get out a good vote. Wollmer Hires Own Attorney. Land Commissioner Follmer does not want Attorney General Prout to aet for him in the Boyd county land cases and he will employ his own counsel. Whether Mr. Prout will be Injected Into the suit by the Board of Public Lands and Bulld- ings is not yet known. A majority of the board want Mr. Prout to look after the state's interest, but as he and Follmer have entirely different views on. the ques- tion in controversy, Follmer gave the board to understand he could manage his IT STILL LEADS Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has for 50 ears past been recognized by every- y as the leading stomach remedy of the world, and because it is impossible to make a better remedy to take its Place it stili remains in the front rank.

Two days later this ac- tion was rescinded and he was given Mr. Prout to help him and advise him. On all occasions when the Boyd county matter came up before the board, it is said, Prout and Folimer have mlways clashed and It was due to this that Follmer did not want the attorney general to look after his in- terests. In explaining the action of the board Governor Mickey sald sult had been brought against Mr. Follmer pergonally and that of course he could employ his own eounsel, and that the state would be rep- resented by Mr. Prout. The board has been squabbling over the matter for some time and it is by no means settled. The vote to rescind the action of the board stood, Mickey, Marsh and Prout for, and Mortensen and Follmer against. Game Law Prosecutions, Game Warden Carter will send a repre- sentative to Falls City Monday to prose- cute a wealthy citizen of that place for having fifty fish in his possession which he had caught in a seine and was selilng. Special Deputy Sears arrested the man and took him before a justice of the peace. The man was allowed to plead gutity to having two fish in his possession and was assessed a nominal fine. Inasmuch as the man had fifty fish Mr. Carter does not belfeve that pleading gullty to having two fish has sat- isfled the dignity of the law. Monday Mr. Carter will go to North Platte to prosecute three men named Marcott, Roman and Van Doran for shooting prairie chickens. Falr Abovt $7,000 Ahead. All state falr visitors have gorie te their homes and Lincoln has settled back into the old rut. Secretary Furnas and his help- ers are still at the Lindell hotel winding up their affairs in order to get out of town as soon as possible. It is likely that the full report of the treasurer will not be com- pleted and made public befors the January meeting of the board. From the figures now compiled it is estimated that about $7,00 was cleared by the management.

Young Snodgrass and Miss Emma Glessman, the complaining witness, were married in Omaha this after- noon. Snodgrass was released from the Omaha jail and came to Paplilion with his wite tonight.

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb.,, Sept. 12.—(Spe- clal.)—In a collision last evening which oc- curred on Chicago avenue, County Clerk L. A. Tyson lost a colt and C. Bengen, a prominent farmer residing near Mypard, sustained & fall which might have cdused tatal results. Mr. Tyson and three sons were retarning trom the country after dark, and as the ground was soft they were unable to hear the approach of Mr. Bengen's horse and buggy from the opposite direction. M. Bengen was thrown from his bugey by the force of the collision and was badly brutsed and stuhned. A few moments later one of the horses attached to the Tyson rig sud- denly fell to the ground, dying almost in- stantly. Investigation showed a hole in its #lde where the point of a buggy shaft had penetrated the flesh. The occupants of the carriage were not injured, due to the fact that they were driving slowly. When Mr. Bengen was picked up his injuries ap- peared to be serious, but he was taken to his home. Arrested om 8 FAIRBURY, Neb., Sept. 12.
