Returns Slow in Nebraska.

Omaha, November s.-Returns from
the state are coming in slowly, and
seem to indicate the election of Holcomb,
Pop. for supreme judge by 5000 over
Harrison, Rep.
Frank irvine, DEM, ran well here, but
silver Democrats, who voted for Hol-
Republicans. The Republicans have
carried the city by large plurality.
George P. Bemis, Rep, for mayor re-
ceived about 1900 votes more than Bed
ford, Dem, although the Repu blican
strength was divided. Republicans carry
but the Populists gain even more in
the country districts.

dates, and have been generally successful

the eight counties. Nine Democrats and
four Republicans hold over. The Repub-
llcanS nave carried tne Assembly by al

The Chicago Judge Elected for the Seventh
Time Despite Fierce Opposition.
Chicago, November s.-Returns from
the polls are complete enough to make
it certain that all the Republican candi-
dates for the bench except J. Henry
Kraft, Socialist, are elected by safe
majorities. Judge Gary's election as
judge for the seventh time in the face of
opposition from the governor and city
administrations is specially gratifying to
Republicans. The full Republican
ticket for county commissioners is also
elected with the probable exception of

REV" J. IewisDeSsnop who for
many years has held high position
in Wesley NJ. Il. and other churches,
was arrested by Chief of Police Francis
this morning on three charges of for
gerry.
1t is alleged that Dewsnop some
time ago had some trouble with the
church trustees relative TO a large
amount of money he had collected and
never turned over to them. He left
town and WAS not heard OF FOR some
time.
Last night he went to the Hotel
Willis, opposite the Opera House and
engaged board during tho night. Dur
Ing the afternoon he went to the Della
ware Bank and presented check
made payable to him, and signed by
Joseph Klein, the Market street jewell
er.
The check called for $40 and he got
the money. At the saIue time IL is al
legged he presented a check drawn up
by William Lawton for $5, which
amount he also received. He then
went to the hotel and secured board.
This morning the "Rey." walked up
to Mr.. Willis and presented check
drawn up for $50 In payment for his
board He asked for the difference In
the amounts, whereupon MIR. Willis
susplcloned him. Word was di5patch.
ed to the police station, which was re-
8 pended TO by Chief Francis.
After the Chief had been standing
around the hotel for short time, Mr..
Willis pointed Dewsnop out. He WAS
thon placed under arrest and taken to
the City Hall, where no now is. He
will probably be arraigned to morrow
morning and the case continued for a
few days, to SEQ IL other charges can
be brought against him.
Dewsnop has always. apparently,
taken IN active part in church work In
this city. lie was always at the head
of every new undertaking, and from
The Sunday school of Wesley Church
he selected fifty boys, forming the or.

These he drilled to perfection and
seemed to be greatly zealous of their

He has preached in some of the

LOOK OUT FOR THE POOL BILL.
A sharp lookout should be kept for
the bill which proposes to legalize the
selling of pools at the Dover fair, as
1t Is only the entering wodge to
give the gamblers the same con.
troll and reign of terror In this
1t Is well-known that DUKE Thomp-
son, of Gloucester infamy, has been
negotiating FOR tract of land In this
State. and II this bill should be passed
IT will be but a question of time until
he and his blaek-leg crowd will rule
and ruin the fair fame OF Delaware,
the same as they have that of New
Jersey.
Those interested In this Infamous
bill have already boasted that they
are sure OF getting the bill through
the House. but this is scarcely worthy
OF belief. especially IL the members
VIII but stop to take a sober second
though and consider that at the pres
ent the same gang of gamblers that are
behind this scheme. rule New Jersey
and defy the people and the law.
RELIEF FOR THE TRUSTEES or THE POOR.
A bill Is now before the House, in.
trodueed by Mr.. Cooch, which pro-
vldes that tie IN oney appropriated by
the Levy Court for the Trustees OF tile
Poor, shall constitute a separate fund,
not to be touched by any one except
the trustees, or for any other purpose.
For years it has been the custom for
the Levy Court to make the approprl-
alton, and then VIXEN they became
short OF funds to use the money them
solves. The consequence has been
that toward the close of the fiscal year,
the trustees have always found them
selves without funds to meet their
necessary expenditures. The object OF
the bill Is to put stop to this prao.
ttce, and there Is no doubt but it will,
as II should, become law.
CHANGE IN THE LIQUOR LAW.
A change in the liquor law is pro.
posed and bill has already been pre-.
pared providing that under certain
conditions saloon keepers and liquor
dealers can sell liquor in quantities
less than one quart to be taken from
the premises.
II this bill should become law, those
who wish to avail themselves OF the
privilege which 1t grants, will be re.
quested to pay an additional license
fec OF S25 ayear There is no doubt
but eveiy saloon-koeper in the city of
Wilmington would willingly pay this
additional fee, as there are but few
that do not violate the law In this re-
speet The late Chief Justice Com
eggs was DESTROYS that such law
should be enacted, as under the pre-
sent law man lays himself liable to u
line OF from $50 10 S1u0, ii he should
sell pint or half pint OF liquor. even
II 1t WIS In case when a PERSONS life
depended upon 1t. rne saloon keeper
also takes the chances of having the
case brought up against his nppica.
ton, and causing him to losa his Ii.
cense. 1t is not Thought that such a
law would increase drunkenness, but
1t Is contended that as long as the
senseless habit of treating continues,
it would have the effect OF curtaillug
1t.
