THE BEE Nebraska DEMOCRATS MAKING SLATE Effort to Nominate Candidate for Senator Without a Fight. SCHEMERS SELECT THOMPSON Shallénberger to Be Renominated for Governor as Price for Abandon- ing His Hopes for Se torl Toga, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN May 16.—(8pecial.)— and Columbus are just now the hotbeds of democratic scheming, with democrat of Grand Island to be one of the beneficiaries of the game. Ne fact that three supreme judges are to be elected this fall, democratic politiclans are ineoln a prominent lecting the busy getting in shape to nominate a United States senator without a party fight two years from now. The combination whi is being worked on at this time 1#°W.-H. Thompson of Grand Isiand for senator and Governor Ashton €. Shallenberger for re-election. The govermor would prefer to run for the senate and shave Thompson run for gov- ernor, but ‘Thompson favors the other combinatfon, 8o there is where the differ-| ence comes in sagar Howard has been selected as grand adyiser of combination and without mentioning Thompson for the senate he has started out to renominated the gov- einor. If he ccrvinee the governor and Arthuru Mullen there s little doubt Shallenberger will pass up the senatorial toga to the Grand Tsland Thompson. This | is the way a well known democrat puts it: | ‘As a matter of fact Thompson and Shallenberger bave little liking for ench other in a political sense, but Edgar Howard will no doubt be able to drive| them into a combination from which both are to be beneficlaries. Shallenberger is under some obligations to Thempson, be- cause ft was the Grand Island man who threw the jagged harpeon into George W Berge In the interest of Bhallenberger two years ago when Berge was defeated for the democratic nomination for governor after he had won the honor. So Judge Howard has some leverage on Shallen- berger to force him to do a good turn for Thompson and keep out of the senatorfal race.” Some surprise {8 exqressed that Judge Howard would endorse Shallenberger for governor or Thompson for senator. The Columbus man called the tegislature by Its right namé and that he could now go back on all the things he sald and support Shallenberger wnd Thompson s talked about as a case of backsliding. Thompson's friends clalm he will not only recelve the support of the Bryan demo- crats, but of both the temperance element of the party and the liberal element. When the § o'clock closing law was before the governor and Arthur Mullen for action, Mr. Thompson, though importuned to do 50 by liberal democrats, refused to even write a letter or send a telegram. Instead he quietly went to the long distance tele- phone and called the governor and asked him to veto the bill. Of course there is no written proof, but the governor lost no time 1 " giving the. information to the Omaka democratic sheet, so that the tem: perance element of the party would not be misled In the meantimé Governor Shallenberger has an on one Mayor Dahlman of Omaha. For he believes Mayor Jim will be a candidatée for the nomination for gov ernor. Allemed Lid Lifters Arrested.

YORK, Neb, May 16.-48pecial.)=There Is great excitement at Thayer, this county, and unless the Interested parties are ar- rested, it promises to be serlous. It started by some unknown person printing in red ink on a card the following notice “Rev. Pflug: You are hereby requested to get out of the country Inside of twelve hours, or stand the consequences." The notice was signed with cross bones and skull and was posted conspleuously on the lawn of Mr. Pflug, who Is not only a minister, but a school teacher at Thayer. The trouble started from charges that Mr Pflug denles. He claims that his actions toward some of the school children could be construed as of criminal intent, and that he is entirely Innocent of charges made. Threats were made by citizens to do Mr. Pflug bodily Injury and it became 80 serfous that the sheriff delegated parties at Thayer to act as deputies and guard the person and residence of Mr. Pflug. The trouble Is being thoroughly investigated by the sheriff and county attorney, and unless all parties agree to be peaceful several arrests will be made.

One Get Omaha, 7; Topeka, Harry Welch had on his batting clothes Sunday and with his new willow assisted materlally in Omahs taking the opening game from Topeka. He hit the ball over the right fleld fence in the first inning and drove Kane on home ahead of him. In the sixth he made a hit which was later cashed in and in the seventh he hit a clean single that scored King and Pendry. | Gonding was & close second for batting honors, as he made a double in the second | and in the sixth, with two out lror—d; Welch and Franck with a well-placed single. Pendry also made two singles and | both assisted in the run-making. What a crowd It was that saw Omaha win that game from the Topeka glants! It filled every available spot In the grand- stand and bleachers and circled halt way around the field, necessitating ground rules, which Interfered with several plays during the afternoon. Dick Cooley had been saving up hiw premier slab artist for the occasion, but Omaha simply made mince meat of Mr Burnum Jjust as though he had not come | with an enviable reputation. Cooley was out of the game with a bad knee, which he wrenched the other day in the mud, but he | was along the coaching line and busy with the ump on several occasions. Fenlon was also out of the game, as he was called | home by sicknese at home. War Does Twirling. War Sanders was chosen by Captain Buck | to do the twirling and he g4 not betray | the confidence the management and the| fans placed in him, At no time did he show any signs of weakening, allowing but five | hits and passing but one. He held the| game well in hand all the way through and | the sixteen assists by the Infielders shows where most of the would-be hits went. Omaha cinched the game In the initial round by sousing the ball after your old- time friend Jay Andrews had booted the firat_ball Fisher knocked at him. King got In"his regular sacrifice and Pendry did the rest with a single. Kane's grounder | to Burnum retired Pendry, and then Harry | Welch hit the ball over the fence. No further scoring was done by Omaha until the sixth inning, when with one out Welch bounded obe against Burnum's shins, went to third on Franck's doubie and both scored on Gonding’s single. In the seventh Fisher opened the inning with a single and died at second when King | tried to sacrifice. Pendry singled and Jay Andrews threw the ball to first. Kunkle missed the throw and only ground rules held King at third and Pendry at second Then came Harry Weleh with his third hit and drove them both across the plate, after Kane had been hit in the slats and the bases were filled. Franck walked and Belden hit to Geler, who caught the ball and made a peach of a throw to Kerns and doubled on Kane. With one out in the fourth, Kunkle hit for three sacks and scored on Andrews | grounder to King. Crowd Lite Belden had mide™s most phenomenal ‘tatch in the thir@ 'inning after running | through the pecple who e sitting all | around, when “he' pulled Kerns' long fly | right off the middle fiéld fence.
