INCOLN WHOLESALERS Eave Little Hope of Being Able to Kunock Out the Gross Credit Feature of the New Rev- enue Law. INTERESTED (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 23.—(Special.)—~The prin- Ipals and superintendents of the state got ogether In annual convention at Memorial wall this morning and spent most o the lme in listening to an address by W. L. Itephens of this city on “Some Fundae sental Principles of Discipline” and a lscussion of It. There were 120 principals nd superintendent present at this sessiom ©d & large number of them took part in be discipline discussion. ‘The first place on the program had been ®eserved for Superintendent Pearse of ' All good doctors . prescribe Ayer’s | f’ Cherry Pectoral ' for coughs. Omaha, but when time was called M Pearse was somewhere on the road, had to take his place lower down on the program. He talked on the “Business Man. agement Work of a Superintendent,” which he showed great famillarity, dwel ing particularly upon the need of superin- tendent and principals knowing the finan- clal side of the school syst At the afternoon session this program was carried out: “Supervision Work in the Grades,”” by W. L. Rouse of Platts- mouth; Proper Moral Training,” by Dr. Fletcher L. Wharton, Lincoln, and “Co- Operation of City Superintendents and Principals with County Superintendents,” by E. C. Bishop, York. Tonight the annual banquet was held at the Lindell hotel, at which A. H. Water- house of Omaha was toastmaster. Thése have enrolled: m, Beatrice: M. 8, Brown, York; Searson and -5., Case, Red Cloud; Anna V. Madison Ohiowa; E. D. Bangha: agee. !‘nmonl, : o, T. Poucher, Chadro Chambers, lmvormy Place: Ma Lambert, Fairbury; J. C. .v-nun Gc;trufl. Gardner, Auburn; e witn} The same argument that was used in the Omaha case, City Attorney Strode said, would hold good in Lincoln. No one here, %0 tar as heard from, contemplates bring- ing suit, but all are anxious for the su- preme court to pass on the subject. In the meantime the question as it af- fects the state at large is not being dis- cussed to any great degree. The state board will withhold the schedules untll shortly before the first of January, when by the provisiops of the law they are to delivered td the county officers. the opinion of one who has made a study of the law that the credit men will have to put up with the law for this year at least and depend upon the next legisla- ture to repeal that section. Interest in Politics, Deputy Lend Commissioner Eaton has returned from & trip to Boyd county where he went to look after the interests of the tate In the re-appraisement of some school land in that county. While at Naper Mr. V.| Eaton attended a political meeting ad- dressed by the republican nominees for the district bench, Captain Fisher and Mr. ‘Wills, which he sald was one of the most #nthusiastic meetings he had attended this campalgn. A large crowd was out and every indication pointed to ti orq | tion of the republican nominees. P-uw-an. w i N, Ilulllr. Nomfl Orfill S:l:’ Hllmboldl. A fl McBrien, Unwln.

A pathetio scene was enacted in the It s | county court today when Thomas Prey and his wife signed papers releasing to his aunt, Miss McClintock, their 2-year-old baby boy. The mother is seeking a divorce and before the hearing they both agreed to allow the aunt to have the child. The little fellow played around the court room, running back and forth from the father and mother to the aunt, prattling to each and knowing not that they were giving him away. Mrs. Prey alleged in her petition for divorce that Prey had treated her cruelly on several occasions and that he was insanely jealous. The parties to the divorce are well fixed financially and were elegantly attired when they entered the court room together. BRANTNER ON THE WAR PATH Shoots at Hired Girl Because She Was Not Afrald of Him, PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Oct, 28.—(Special.) ~Willlam Brantner, who caused so much excitement in the town of Murray yester- day by shooting his wife and her hired girl, Mrs. Hattle N. Davis, was arrested on & warrant sworn out before Justice R. W. Swearengen at that place, containing two counts, one charging him with shoot- ing with intent to wound and the other charging him with shooting with intent to kill. When arraigned he pleaded not gullty and the hearing was set for November 7. Deputy Sheriff Frank E. Schlater brought Brantner to this city last evening and con- fined him in the county jall, Brantner was employed in this city by Wurl & Coffey to deliver general mer- chandise and drove & horse and buggy of theirs to Murray the night before and stopped with his wife at her hotel. A short time before noon yesterday he went into the kitchen, where his wife and hired girl were, and sald to the hired girl, “I under- stand that you sald you are not afraid of any man?’ Her answer was, “That fis correct.” She says he then drew his re- volver from his hip pocket and shot polut- blank at her face. The bullet missed her and struck the cupboard. She sald sctne- thing about It being & “blank cartridge," but seemed to loose her nerve and started on the run to leave the room, when another bullet entered her hip. His wife then re- monstrated with him, when he commenced shooling at her, and before she could get out of the room and hotel one bullet had passed through one hand and one through one of her lower limbs, just above the ankle, Brantner crossed. the street and talked with some of the people for a short time, and as he took his departure he remarked that he would go to the hotel and lie down, as he felt sleepy, and the sheriff could find him there. Soon after smoke was seen lssuing from the windows in the second story of the hotel.” The citizens rushed in and found that the carpet in the hall had been satu- rated with kerosene and set on fire, but the flames were soon extinguishéd. Edgar Mark and George Berger found Brantner fn a front bed room and bound him and took him down stairs and kept him until the officer arrived. | Buffalo County Medieal Soclety.

Tully and B. E. Wilcox, incwporators of the Omaha & Southern Electric Rallway company, were in Papll- lion yesterday looking over the ground for their line and tq ascertain approximately the amount of grain, live stock and other shipments made between here and Omaha yearly In order to form some idea of the freight business they can count on.

They sald the line would cer- tainly be bullt and bullt immediately. This line is understood to be merely a local line running between South Omaha and Papiliion, and is a separate and distinct road from the Omaha, Lincoln & Beatrice company. Quiet Campaign in Dodge. FREMONT, Neb., Oct. 2.—(Special.)—The political campaign in this county has been very quiet. No public meetings have been held so by either party. There are three tickets in the fleld, republican demo- cratic and soclalist. The prohibitionists also have a partial ticket. The soclalists Bave never had a county ticket here be- fore. They claim they have 200 voters, but it is doubtful if they cast over seventy-five socialists tickets. Republican and demo- cratic candidates are makiig almost a house to house canvass throughout the country. This county has a candidate for district Judge on each ticket and each will poll more than his party vote. The great- est interest centers on sheriff and county clerk with the odds in favor of the repub- licans. Dodge county was formerly demo- cratic but during the last eight years the tide has been turning until half the county officers are republicans and the old time majorities on the state ticket reduced to under 100.

B.—(Special.)~The walls on Norfolk's new United States court house are pushing rapidly heavenward and all but two of the 200 carloads of material for the structure have been recelved. The attic timbers will be laid within a day or s0. It is estimated that the freight bills alone for the bullding have been §20,000 and the product when finished will bo magnifi- cent.
