~ PRODDING - UP- THE VOTERS Neoeasity of Getting Out on Elcotion Day Imprass:d Upoa Them. ONLY STAY-AT-HOMES CAN BEAT BARNES Revenue Law, (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. Z.—(8pecial.)~The last few days of the campalgn are to be busy ones, not, however, with meetings and drums and rallies, but with the eftorts of party leaders to impress further upon the vaters the necessily of getting out the full vote. Both sides are looking hope- fully to Dougias county and .upon this county the fusionists are depending to boost the total of Judge Sullivan. All over the state the leaders of the forlorn hope are sending out reports that Douglas county will be 108t 1o the republicans, in a vain endeayor to enthuse thos: In the outer districts who, Baving no hope of electing a district ticket, are taking little interest In the héad of the ticket. And while these reports are being circulaied no explanation is being- sent along regard- ing the split in the tw.rheaded aggregation in the Fourth dise Chatrman Lindsay of the republican head- s not talking of what he ex- majority to be, but he is doing all he and a large office force can do to get the republicans to understand that they must get to the polls and vote. “I feel that.the party is stronger in the tate today than 4t ever was, he said, ‘but we must get out the vote If the strength fs to be felt. From now until the close of the polls that will be our effort.” Chairman Weber of the populist head- quarters s of the . opinion that wupon weather conditions will depend the vote of the populists. “If the day Is & wet day,” he said, “all of them will get to the polls and vofe,” and he admitted if it was not he would lose many hundred. He belleves that Omaha will do handsomely by Judge Sullivan, but upon what he bases this bellef even he does not seem to know. Lee Herdman, who s the big man in the democratic perty, of course is doing most of his work in Omaha and what he thinks of the outiook he ls not saying, further than that he expects the fusionists to get out their entire vote. It is conceded that oyerconfidence upon the part of the republicans, causing them to remain at home, is the only thing that could defeat Judge Barnes. He has con- ducted a quite dignified campaign and where he has been the reports come in that he has been well received. Some little #peaking has been done and will be done this week, but just a little. Last night Norrls Brown went out to Syracuse and whooped up things for the judicial can- didates, all of whom expect to be elected. The meeting was well attended, as have Rules for Corn Show.

Menke claims the law Is unconstitutional because It is class legislation Back fro: General Culver and the soldier boys re- turned from Fort Riley and the general is more than pleased with the National Guard because of its magnificent showing in the maneuvers. He is also plensed with the manner in which Acting Adjutant Gen- eral Mary Greer conducted the affairs of the office during his absence. The general re- ports the maneuvers successful, the dis- cipline of the troops perfect and the re- lations between the regulars and the Na- tional Guard as being harmonious. MARRIED UNDER DIFFICULTIES Base Ball Star Has an Exeit- ing Time Getting Around the Bases. Law. \ Maneuvers. NORFOLK, Neb, Oct. .—(Special)— Sam Letherby, the one-time base ball twirler for the university nine at Lincoln, was married at 7 o'clock In the evening to Miss Flora Price of Oakdale. Sam's wed- ding fook place under difficulties and it took more sclentific maneuvering than the flercest game he ever pitched for the Corn- huskers in ‘varsity ball. The trouble all came through & ilveryman and primatily through Sam's inherent disposition to pass everybody along the line in whatever stunt he happened to be doing. On Sunday aft- ernoon Sam hired the swellest livery rig in the town of Oakdale and started to drive out to the home of Miss Price. Along the highway he overtook another driver and whipped up his hired horse that he might pass the other carriage. But not so. Fiy- ing into a Cresceus gait, the Oakdale ani- mal was just rounding into the curve when the wheels of the carts came together and the rig was smashed to kindling wood. Sam didn't take the trouble to return, for he was on a more important mission. He merely sent back word to the owner of the demolished outfit_that the tongue in the wagon had dropped into the ground and that the buggy was “all in."” The livery- man hurried to the spot and found that Sam was too busy to talk business with him. Zetherby's weddmg was scheduled for 7 o'clock Tuesday evening and the liv- eryman knew it. Taking. info acedunt, therefore, the dls- position of his indifferent customer, he drove to the town of Neligh, secured an officer and got back at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening, just In time to stop the whole af- fair. They arrested the one-time twirler on the spot and he saw his dreams vanish into thin air. Then he decided that the cheapest way out would be to pay for the outfit, and this he did. The marriage cere- mony was performed at the hour set and the lveryman and the sheriff drove back to town quite satisfied. Reports on Water Problem. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Ooct. %8.—(8peclal) —At the regular meeting of the city coun- cll last evening the most important busi- ness to come before that body was the report of the Burlington civil engineer, F. T.' Darrow, giving ‘the results of the sur- veys he made in this city with a view to solving the problem of handling the sur- plus surface water and preventing damage to the business district of the city during future floods. He estimates that the total cost of paving Vine street from the west line of Sixth to the west line of Seventh street, or 30 feet, will be $3,882. In addi- tion to this summary, the report contains many other facts and figures which may prove valuable in solving the flood problem. In speaking of the Washington and Chi- cago avenues proposition, he says: Since these sewers and the trunk sewer are bullt in good shape and capable of handling all but excessive rainfall it seems advisable and most economical to increase thelr capacity, or rather relieve their over- flow by making the streets, Sixtf, Maln, Vine. and Pearl, storm sewers to carry the flood waters and not disturb the present sewerage system at all. Councliman Jesse L. Root moved that the report be placed on file and that a vote of thanks be ex- tended to the Burlington company and to Mr. Darrow for the valuable services ren- dered. Revival at York. YORK, Neb, Oct. 25.—(Special.)—Rev. Chester Birch, the Presbyterian evangells has been holding evangelistic meetings for the past ten days, and has already aroused considerable interest. On Sundays he has been obliged to hold meetings In the large York auditorium, which affords a larger number the privilege of hearing Rev. Birch. He is assisted by Mrs. Birch, who has been holding meetings for women, which have resulted in considerable good Sunday afternoon in the meeting for men nearly 100 men marched to the front and gave Mr. Birch their hands for a better life and & nobler manhood, many of whom for the first time entered upon & higher life. Signal Corp FREMONT, Neb, Oct. 28—(Special)— The Signal corps of the Nebraska National Guards returned from the military ma- neuvers at Fort Riley, reaching Fremont at 8 o'clock this morning. The corps camped with a signal company of the regu- lars, and acted with them during the 'arl- ing out of the military problems. T! were highly commended by General l-rmx CGrant for their efficlency and were the only National Guard signal corps at Fort Riley. They left Fort Riley Tuesday morning. Registration is Light. FREMONT, Neb, Oct. 25.—(Speclal)— THE Becosd Regiment National Guard Winy High Honars at Fort Riley. GENERAL BARRY COMPLIMENTS THE MEN State Soldiers Return from Maneuvers Work, Good Thoroushly e Experience. The Omaha Guards and Millard Rifles, Companies G and I, Becond regiment Ne- braska National Guard, arrived home yes- terday from a ten days' absence at Fort Riley, Kan., where they participated in the army maneuvers. The regiment left Fort Riley Tuesday morning at 8:15, reaching here via the Union Pacific at 4:60 Wedn day morning. The boys report the train service as excellent and are unanimous in the agreement that they had a splendid time. While it was playing at war it as near the real thing as could be con- celved. In referring to the maneu\ers Cap- tain Sues of the Millard Rifles sald: “The work was hard anc tiresome, but at the same time it was an extremely Interest- ing and valuable experiment to all of the militia organizations. The Nebraska troops acquitted themselves with the highest credit to the state, and this s partfeurarly true of the Omaha companies. The regi- ment was complimented in general orders by General Barry, commanding the regular forces on two occasions, and he also wrote @ personal letter to our colonel stating in part that should ever the occasion demand that volunteer troops be brought into the real tragedy of war that he hoped that he would be assigned to command such men as comprised the Nebraska regiment. Hard Work for Amateurs. “The maneuvers were throughout ex- remely Interesting and arduous. Some- times in making a movement we would have to make long marches. On one oc- casion we marched elghteen or twenty miles, and then went into action. We went through all the features of war, Qigging trenches, skirmishing, making and repulsing assaults that were the real thing except 8o far as genuine bullets and shells were concerned. Our company was killed oft on two or three occasions and we had hosts of the men wounded. The wounded men were previously labeled and were left on the fleld, with the character of thelr wounds described on label, and were given first-ald attention, and later picked up hy the ambulance and hospital corps and taken to the hospitals on the fleld for treatment. A tunny thing happened in this connection. One or two of the boys got pretty tired and asked to be put on the wounded detall, and they were accommodated. They were properly tagged and left on the fleld, and the command moved on. The two boys were picked up by the ambulance and taken to the fleld hospital about two miles away, and were then let go to rejoin the company. They had three or four miles to walk be- fore they could again come up with the company. They did not ask to go on the wounded detail again. Inspection Rigid and Frequent. “The militia officers were made to toe the mark even more rigidly than the boys. The Inspections were rigid and constant, especially as regarded the sanitary céndi- tions of the camps. The slightest neglect on the part of the officers to see that the sanitary conditions were maintained in the strictest conformity with orders met with the severest censure on the part of the inspectors. “Another interesting feature was the great enthuslasm with which old veterans witnessed the maneuvers, and they told us that it was as near the real thing as it could possibly be. The health of the com- thand was excellent at all times, and not an accident occurred to the - Nebraska boys and all of us come home delighted with the trip. The night before we started away from Fort Riley a quartet from Company E, Second Nebraska of Tekamah, serenaded General Barry, and he agaln took occasion to say many very nice things about the regiment. “During the maneuvers there was a meel- ing of the National Guard officers, in which a measure was discussed to induce con- gress to pass a law allowing the private soldiers of the National Guard 50 cents per night when they have to drill. This proposition refers only to the privates and enlisted men and not to the officers. It is believed that the measure will prove a pop- ular one and if properly pressed would be favorably considered by congress." ¥ Discipline Ri SCHUYLER, Neb, Oct. 2%.—(Special)— Company K arrived home this morning from the military maneuvers at Fort Riley, Kan., and the appearance of its members, amply borne out by ghe stories they tell of their camp life and its duties, indicated that they had had a short but strong taste of nearly the real thing in the way of army life. They were much impressed with the rigidness of discipline as compared with that usually experienced at the state en- campments, finding their obligatiop to re- main in camp not nearly so fascinating as the usual freedom enjoyed. They feel proud, however, of the distinction enjoyed by the Nebraska troops and are reported to have been accounted among the “huskiest lot among the state troops.” Increasing Light Service, SCHUYLER, Neb, Oct. 2.—(Special)— The new Ball engine for use at the city electric lighting plant fs now upon its foundation and connections being made. The old engine has been In such condition for some time as to make light service both uncertain and_unsatisfactory. When the new engine |s started, it is intended to have & morning service in addition to that now given until midnight and perhaps an all night service. This will increa: use of the iightc, as many that would like to have them have not put them in because of having to maintain oll lamps for morning use. YUTAN, Neb., Oct. 28.—(8peclal.)—Robert Barnes, 8 years old, son of Rev. O. L. afternoon about 5 o'clock, caused by & run- away horse. Oliver, a 5-year-old son, also had his face badly brulsed and cut at the same tme Some people. at 40 look like 60! The registration of voters under the registration law by the city clerk is pro- srossing slowly. About 100 names have been registered, which is a little over two- thirds of a full vote. City Clerk Stiles says that nearly all decline to give their party afiliation when asked, not more than 10 caring to say what party they belong to. Gray hair. Ayer’s Hair Vigor.

HELENA, Mont, Oct. 2.—Committees representing the Butte Miners' union and the Great Falls Mill and Smeltermen’s union presented to Governor Teole today resolutions asking him to call an extra session of the legislature. The governor stated that he would give the resolutions careful consideration and reply to them at an early date. Members of the com- mittee told the governor that they had given the subject much thought and that an extra session appeared to be a practical way to settle the differences. They told the governor that unless the mines re- sumed -operations much suffering would follow. After reading the resolutions Governor Tcole assured the committee that he would give them his most careful attention at the earliest possible date. The governor will not discuss the case, stating that he would have to think over the matter and that when he had decided what was best 1o be done, he would do it, having only the state's interest at heart.
