IN QUANDARY OVER BALLOT Demoorats atd Populists Do Not Know Just What They Desire. ODD FELLOWS ELECT GRAND OFFICERS Conviet Who DA the Penitentiary Reveals His True Name When Informed that He Onn- ot Live, (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oet. 22.—(Spectal.)~Now that the secretary of state has sent out sam- ples of ballots to be uded in the coming election the usual discussion as to whether the county clerks will separate the demo- cratic and populist parties at the head of the ticket, using the ring after each, or run them in brackets with only one ring, bas begun. From Omaha comes word that the democrats are divided on the question, many thinking that to run the party names in the brackets would result to the advan- tage of Judge Sulllvan, even if it would swipe oft the face of the earth John O. Yelser and Judge Doane, both nominated by the populists. If the county clerk of Douglas county finally concludes to place the names on the tickets in brackets, pro- viding that the courts held that the same parties nominated by the democrats and by the populists, or endorsed by either of them, are fusion candidates, then a stralght fusion ballot would vote for six candidates ~—Baxter, Read, Ferguson, Dickinson, Page. It would cut Yeiser and Doane on the pop- ulist ticket and Day on the democratic ticket, though the latter would not suffer #0 much because he is a nominee of the republican party. In their efforts to save Judge Sullivan, having given up hope of saving any of the Judicial ticket, it may be that the Douglas county clerk will not separate the two tickets. This it is said would make his name more consplcuous, and it would be easier to instruct the ignorant floating voter by merely telling him to vote for the ticket with the two names in the brackets. Other democrats who care more for the district judges than for Judge Sullivan want the parties separated, belleving that the district judges would fare better at the hands of the voters. The matter 1s causing much worry among the leading fu- siontste of the big ¢ity, and they know not what to do. Beveral days ago the clerk telephoned the secretary of state to know if he could not legally place the democratic rty at the head of the ticket inasmuch an T{ompmn, the fusion candidate for gov- ernor, recelved more votes in Douglas county than did Governor Mickey. Ho was told that the placing of the names on the ticket ‘'was determified on the vote in the state and that Douglas county was by no means the state. It looks down here as though the demo- crats ‘Were trfing to get a coup on the and it John Yelser is not care- ful, it was sald by a populist here today, he won't jand with a corporal's guard at his bBack when the votes are counted. oaa ows Elect Oficers.

Lincoln is to profit by the telephone war now on, Vance Lane, manager of the Nebraska Telephone company, =pent the day here yesterday making an Inspoction of the local plant with a view to bullding & new structure. He was accompanied by the auditor and engineer of the company. Mr, Was not ready to make publie his' plans for'the new bullding, but ex- pected In a short tiffe to recelve from the east plans and specifications, at which time the matter may be given publicity. Board Health Has Power. In deckding the case of Paris P. Bowman, owner of & coufectfonery store and lodging house at Verdon, who recelved a verdict against that town for $150 for closing her Bouse . because one of the inmates had smallpox, the supreme court reversed the decision and held that “‘the welfare of the people is the highest law.” The court said the village board acted as the agent of the public in preventing the spread of the disease and no right to’sue for damages Would e wunless the statutes expressly #ave that right. Need Not Pay Taxes. The Union Pacific rallroad will sav few dollars In taxes by virtue of the deci- slon of the supreme court In the cause which it has against Howard county. The county levied taxes for the support of the roads and varlous other funds and then the commissioners, because the majority of the slectors of a certain precinet wanted public scales, levied an additional tax of 4% mills on all the property of the precinct. This " THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1903. was the tax on which the raflroad kicked, for the reason that the full i5-mill levy county purposes had been The county contended that the was for the precinct and pot for the county and that the statutory lmitation had not been exceeded, but the court holds that section 6, article Ix of the constitution pro- hibits any greater levy being made by the county board as a protection for the tax payers. Their power is limited, and no matter whether the tax Is for a general or & spectal plrpuse it comes under the ban when the total is above the statutory Iimit. Admitted that such a tax made by & township would stand, but the precinct is simply & territorial division of a county and does mot have its independent fiscal powers. Rights Are Equal on Highway. The driver of a wagon on the streets of a city has the same rights and duties with regard to kecping a lookout as the street rallway company. Such ls the decision of the supreme court in the case of Mathieson against the Omaha street railway . com- pany. The plaintift in error collided with a street car and sued for damages on the ground that the company was careless in running its cars at an excessive rate of speed and did not keep a proper lookout at the crossing. On the trial the fact was brought out that he had seen the car some distanco awas, and the jury returned a verdict for the company. The case is re- versed and remanded to the Douglas county district court for a new hearing on the ground that Mathieson should have been permitted to state the speed of the car to the jury, although he could not quality as an expert. With this evidence before them the jurors can determine whether or not he exercised the same degree of care to pre- vent the accident that the company's men should have been held to. Children Not to Sign Saloon Petition. Children are not proper persons to sign a petition or remonstrance agalnst saloon licenses, although they may have estates or inheritance in land in the precinct in which it is desired to locate the salooff. That {s what the court says in the case of Thompson against Eagan, from Cedar county. Little Fire and Much Commotion. Fire In the basement of the block at Twelfth and M streets, beneath the dining room of the.Young Women's Christian assoclation, caused considerable excite- ment at 8 o'clock this evening. By hard work the blaze was confined to the base- ment and little damage resulted. The fire caught from the furnace and spread to some rubblsh and lumber piled near. The upper stories are occupled by roomers and these were driven out by the smoke. SHOOTS WIFE AND HIRED GIRL Murray Man Uses Women as Targets, but Omly Infilcts Slight Wounds.

L, Oct. 2.~With four men left after the qualifying and first rounds of play in the individual champion- ship contest of the Intercolleglate Golf as- soclation, Harvard seems to have a good chanoe of winning double honors again this year. Harvard sent seven of her strongest players to battle for honors in the in- dividual champlonship which began today with a qualitying round of elghteen holes, and all of them qualified. In the first round of match play three of them met with de- feat, but the strongest men, H. C. Egan, W. Egan, M. McBurney and W. C. Chick, survived. H. Chandler Egan, who won the in- dividual champlonship last year, again is well to the fore, After winners play winners, Egan will meet his college mate, McBurney, in the first of the ‘semi-final match tomorrow, but this fact will not weaken Harvard's chances to any extent. Summary of first round, eight holes, match play: C. Truesdale of Yale beat P. B. Hollins, jr., of Harvard, § up and 2 to play; H. B. McFarland of Pennsylvania beat M. Oliphant of Princeton, 4 up and 3 to play; Walter E. Egan of Harvard heat P. H. Jennings of Yale, 2 up and 1 to play; F. O. Reinhart of Princeton beat U. A. Murdock of Harvard, 1 up; W. C.

(From a 8taft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oect 2. —(8pecial.)—Foot enthusiasts ‘are busy today trying to Floyd Clark of the university, who after some little participation with Booth's men was relegated to the scrubs, where he was | 1ater to be brought out as a tackle, because |it s reported that Clark has 'received transportation from Madison, Wis., with which to journey to that state and be- | come a part of the team of the Wisconsin |university. Clark has good stuff in him {#nd his ‘friends are anxious that he re- {main in Lincoln, where he has an op- | portunity to do himself and the university proud. ‘One of his Intimate friends s re- sponsible for the story that he Intends to 80 to \Wisconsin. He has not been at his |room today. Clark was last seen at the [university ‘Monday,. the same day upon which he played full back for the Medics, | which caused the Bellevue management {to withdraw the team from the fleld, {Clark’s substitution in the first half of the game resulted in turning the tide in favor of the Medics. An enthuslastic ante game meeting was held at the chapel of the university this morning to work up the side line’ work and if the demonstrations after epeech, in favor of rooting s any indica: tion the side lines will worked next |Saturday when Colorado hits town, for all that's in them. The thapel was full and Judge Pound impressed it upon the stu- dents that the game was just as much was _the members of the team. them that a glad hand at the right time would do worlds for the players. At this Chancellor Andrews, who !expects to be on the gridiron a week from Saturday, clapped his hands lustily. Then Prof. Condra, who 1s full of foot ball |as a man can'be and stay on his feet, sald {things along the same line. Booth was working up business among the players and didn't speak, and Bender sald what the others sald was all right. In the mean- time the old controversy between the Jour- mal and the athletic board as to whether |the paper should be paid for telling about games in advance, came up at the board meeting and so far as known the Journal i won't get the pay, because the other pa- |pers intho state do the work for noth- ng.

INVESTED BRYAN'S MONEY DECEASED Recelpts from Commoner Fund and from Books & ed by Man Who Bequeathed Money in Dispute. NEW HAVEN Conn. Oct. 2.—Willlam J. Bryan again occupled the witness stand {in the probate court when the hearing on the application for probating the will |of the late Philo B. Bennett was resumed | today In the cross-examination of Mr. Bryan Judge Stoddard, a counsel for Mrs. Ben- nett, the widow, spent considerable time in asking Mr. Bryan why it was in the let- ter which was left for Mrs. Bennett by |her husband directing her to give Mr. }nryan 350,000 for himself and family, it {it was not stated that a certain part of |the fund .was to be given to Mrs. Bryan jand part to the children. Mr. Bryan replied that he didn't know but that it was so understood between him- |selt and Mr. Bennett and that after Mr. Bennett's death he told Mrs. Bennett about the arrangement. Judge Stoddard then |asked Mr. Bryan If anyone was present besides himself and Mr. Bennett when they | discussed that letter in which the request |should be made to Mrs. Bennett. The witness answered that he did not re- member but thought that Mrs. Bryan was inot prefent, although she afterward wrote |the twb letters on a typewriter, one to | Mrs. Bennett and one to himselt, relating | to this point. Mrs. Bryan Saw Letter. Judge Stoddard also Inquired why It | was not stated in the letter to Mrs. Ben- nett that Mrs. Bryan knew the contents of this sealed letter, since that letter said that the writer preferred to have no one know it but Mrs. Bennett and himself. Mr. Bryan replied that he had told Mrs. Bennett the details of the agreement when he came here after Mr. Bennett's death. He added that he presumed that it had not occurred to elther Mr. Bennett or him- self to mention Mrs. Bryan In the letter. The witness was asked to explain why he had reecived $300 from Mr. Bennett at the time the will was drawn up, and stated {that while there was nothing sald about {1t, he supposed it to be for drawing up |the document. When Judge Stoddard asked the wit- | mess if Mr. Bennett had ever made any Investments for him, Mr. Bryan replied that he had made investments of the Com- moner fund, buying government bonds with the proceeds of the subscriptions which camo In advance. He also sald that Mr. Bennett had never made an Investment for Mrs. Bryan. Lawyer- Newton then asked his ellent, Mr. Bryan: “Was it ever suggested by ! yourself or.Mrs. Bryan that he give you the $50,0007"* “No, sir, we never sugmested it. It came 8 a surprise to us when Mr. Bennett made the suggestion himself." The witness then sald he had used a portion of a previous will, which had been executed by Mr. Bennett, in drafting the last one. Greatly Admired Bryan. James D. Dewell, a wholesale grocer, stated that for many years he had known Mr. Bennett. He had always belleved hiwn to be a shrewd, capable business man and bore a reputation as such. Replying to questions he stated that Mr. Bennétt appeared to be in good mental condition at the time when he last saw him, which was shortly before his death. He was a man, said the witness, whose opinion could not easfly be changed. 'fi; t'n':- point Judge Stoddard interrupted o question: “Did il e he worship Mr. Witness replied: “I always knew that he held the highest opinion of him." Mr. Bryan then made a statement which somewhat modified his statement that no money had been invested for Mrs. Bryan by Mr. Bennett. He said that when he | recelved the rovalties on his book, “The First Battle” he gave Mrs. Bryan, who wrote the blographical sketch, sum amounting to, about $4,00. This was in- | Yested for her, he said. but he could not | recall whether it was by Mr. Bennett or | by a Chicago firm.
