Hall, national democratic com- mitteeman from Nebraska, will not play Santa Claus for the democratic party and hand it a Christmas present tomorro in the shane of an acceptance of the filing mude last Monday placing him in nomi- nation for governor. The law specifies that where a petition is filed placing any person in nomination Incorporation with the sec- state today. The company | will have headquarters In Omaha and its capital stock Is given as $500,000 calling for a filing fee of $401.75, 80 that the Morrissey to Chicago. for a state office they are given five days In which to accept the filing. In caie an acceptance s not made at the ex- | piration of the five days, it works a de- clination of the nomination and the name cannot go on the primary ballot. As the fifth day falls tomorrow, Christ- mas day, and the secretary of state's office s legally closed, and as the next day is Sunday and the same rule applies. Dr. Hall really has until Monday to ac- cept the filing. Doctor Says “No." In answer to an inquiry by a Bee rep- resentative whether he would aecept, the doctor ver yemphatically sald “No," and sald it in a way that indicated he was rather inclined to mean just what he sald. This wil] come as a sad blow to the followers of the meek and lowly long eared quadruped, for without a leader like Dr. Hall or Governor Morehead, the political future appears gloomy indeed. It fs true the party has Mayor Charles Bryan to lead them, and he may event- ually be the man to whom all whl flock &s the one to lead the “gallant six hun- dred.” It is true it will be a nard job for some of them to subscribe to Mr. Bryan's prohibition platform, but Brother Willtam J. has always been successful In whipping them into line. However, the prospect does mot look ®s if the average democrat would have very much to make him enjoy Christmas, unless he takes to the companionship of the Honorable Mr. Thomas%and the Hon- orable Mr. Jeremiah, who have the ability | to bring joy where sadness retgns su- preme, and in that case they may be able | to see two candidates for governor where only one can be seen now 1 Safe in Store at Moorfield Robbed !

Hastings Children Sing Xmas Carols HASTINGS, Neb., Dec. 24.—(Special Tel- egram.)—Nearly 30 school children sang | Christmas carols when an enormous | crowd surrounded Hastings' first muni- | cipal Christmas tree tonight.

Omaha Office Will Care for Business of Horace Plunkett During the recent visit to Omaha by Sir Horace Plunkett all the papers neces- sary for the merging of his Omaha and western properties into corporats form were perfected by his counsel, Warren Switzler, including articles of incorpora- tion, which have been placed on file with the secretary of state and county clerk. Though the corporation, under the name of Nebraska and Wyoming Investment company, will have assets in excess of $1,000,000, the actual capital is fixed at only $8%0,000, which is fully paid and non- assessabl In creating the corporation for the more convenlent handling of his Omaha prop- erties, Sir Horace included his interests in cattle, ranches and land development companies in Wyoming, as well as prop- ties in other states, all of which will now be handled from the Omaha office. 'The extent of these transfers, it is said, is not disclosed by the public records, the Omaha deed naming $544,821.33 as its con- sideration, but the aggregate value may be judged from the fact that the stamps and transfer fees were nearly $2,000, The old offices of Sir Horace in the Brandeis theater building will become the headquarters of the mew company, and the enlarged business will be under the management of Conrad H. Young, Sir Horace Plunkett's Omaha representative, who becomes vice president and genersl manager of the company. Selwyn Chief Just'ce Andrew M.

A question involaing the right of owners of & sand pit at Valley to charge less |tor sand shipped to other towns than It does to the local trade, in order to meet competition at the ather towns has put up to Railway Commissioner Tom Hall in a letter of inquiry. The letter asserts that the sand company charges 30 cents a ton at home but only 12 cents to Wahoo parties and 13 cents for sand shipped to Waterloo. Mr. Hall says that the rallway commission has no authority in such cases and it will be up to the next legislature to make regulations it they desire Falls Clty Water Analysed.
