FARMERS ARE PR0SPERING
SociaIistic speIlbinder Says Iowa
Husbandmcn VIII Vote the
Republican Ticket.

The social democratic party OF Ne
braska held its second state convention
of the year yesterday. The first conven-
tion, which met at Lincoln July 4, nomi-
mated a state ticket, but as there were
not 200 delegates present the ticket failed
to fulfill the conditions necessary for a
place on the official ballot by partisan
title. The convention today was for the
purpose of curing that defect
The convention was called to order at
3 o'clock and organized by electing Il. o.
Hadley of Plattsmouth. chairman, and T.
A. Edwards OF Ord secretary. resolu-
tion endorsing the candidacy OF Debs and
Hartman was adopted and upon motion
the nominees OF the Lincoln convention
were renominated with the exception OF
j. NJ. Easterling OF Kearney, candidate for
attorney general, who declined the former
nomination, choosing to cast his lot with
the middle -theroad popullsts. His
place was filled by the nomination of
Michael Pressler of Hamilton county.
A motion to renominate the presidential
electors selected at Lincoln provoked con
siderable discussion. in which Asa Taylor
OF Omaha took part. The electors were
finally endorsed. At the close OF the
afternoon session A. c. Kicker OF Iowa
spoke on the subject Of party organization
BEFORE adJourning the convention decided
to adopt the name socialist party
dropping the title democratic"
AT o'clock the convention reassembled
and Mr.. Kicker of Iowa delivered an ad-
dress In which he asserted that Bryan had
deserted all OF the principles which bound
him to the socialistic and populistc ele-
ments. Speaking of conditions in Iowa, he
said that six years ago the farmers were
selling goods for less than cost farms
were being sold by the sheriff and popu
lists were being made ON every hand. To-
day on the same farm hog will bring
more in the market than a horse would in
1894 and the farmers were all ready to
vote the republican ticket.
After this speech Theodore Kharas was
chosen as state organizer and f. II. Al
exander as secretary-treasurer. II was
decided to levy a per capita tax OF 30
cents to create a campaign fund and a
regular monthly per capita tax of % cents
a month on all socialists, organized or un-
organized after the month OF October.
DR.. J. /. Bogen was chosen chairman and
NJ. ID. Albrecht secretary of the county
convention and that body adjourned until

kiEaizlaaI

One OF the most important matters nov
being considered by the city officials is the
election Of a competent board OF regis
tration The selection of these officials
will be made by the council at an adjourned
meeting to be held Friday afternoon. SO
many complaints have been made about
the condition Of the registration books
that the council will be very careful in the
selection OF registrars this year. At the
spring election one fthe most prominent
politicians in the Fourth ward called at the
polls TO vote and 1t took the members Of
the board fully ten minutes to find his
name, and then the record was on only
one OF the three books. This condition pre-
walls in nearly every precinct in the city.
Under the existing laws the city council
is empowered to appoint members of the
board Of registration and has authority to
make removals when it Is deemed neces-
sary. The council must, according to law,
name this board in September of each year
and It is for this purpose principally that
the meeting will be held on Friday. Three
registrars are allowed for each voting
precinct. They must be citizens of the
United States, OF good character and able
to read write and speak English under
standingly and be qualified voters. No
candidates for office will be allowed on
the board.
Each member OF the board must appear
before the mayor, who is required by law
to examine them as to their qualifications.
Mayor Kelly said yesterday that he pro-
posed 10 follow out the law to the letter
In this examination in order that only com
petent men may be appointed.
Every one who desires to vote must
register this fall, as last springs reglstra-
tion was only a revision. Judging from
tho census returns the registration this
fall will reach the 5000 mark, IL not a
little over.
The first day OF registration will be on
October is, the second on October 26 and
the last day on Saturday November 3.

DUNCAN HAS FALSE CREDIT
Postmaster Uses the Good Name &C
JncIc sam 10 Assist Him In the
stock Raising Business.

Deputy United States Marshal James Wal
ling left yesterday for Kearney, where no
took George W. Duncan TO serve six
months sentence In the Buffalo county Jail.
Duncan was sentenced by Judge Munger on
a plea OF guilty to the charge OF cmbezzling
money order funds OF the United states
while postmaster at Pool Siding.
The method adopted by Duncan TO secure
the funds OF the government was as unique
as 1t was effective. He conducted a general
merchandise store at Pool Siding and was
a large feeder OF stock When purchasing
bunch OF cattle he would pay for them
with money orders issued by him as post
master payable at another postotiice The
cattle would be fattened and sold and the
money received would be turned into the
money order fund. With the wholesale deal
ers he was rated high, as his bills were all
discounted with money orders, the postmas-
ter failing to deposit funds in the till equal
TO the amount of the orders issued until
such time as 1t was convenient to him.
According to law the postmasters at In
terror towns are permitted to keep on hand
comparatively small amount in money
order funds, the amount being regulated by
the number of advices on hand from other
Offices. In order 10 maintain his system OF
personal credit In the government funds
Duncan from time to time reported the
amount OF advices on hand much in excess
OF the correct number, 1t being necessary
at one time to show that the advices were
approximately $4,000. This is an excessive
amount Of money to be sent TO so small an
office as Pool Siding and this fact. coupled
with other circumstances, caused an In
spection OF the office, when neither advlces
nor cash was found in the till. Duncan's
arrest followed, the shortage being made
good by his bondsmen, TO whom he trans
ferred his business. II is understood that
the bondsmen have turned the business
back to him after having secured tho
amount OF the money advanced by them
| from his accounts

BIG TUNNEL IN CASCADES
After Two Years of BorinR Great
Northern's Hole In the Moun-

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 26.-President
Hill OF the Great Northern has received
from Chief Engineer Stevens telegram
stating that the east and west crews in the
immense bore under the Cascade noun
tains have met The two forces working
from opposite ends in the big tunnel brought
the two ends together without the varia-
tion OF an inch Now that the tremendous
task Of boring out over two miles of gran
ite has been accomplished the work OF lay
Ing the tracks is comparatively insignia
cant.
The tunnel will now be rushed to a speedy
conclusion II is estimated that the tunnel
when completed will have cost $1,000, 900.
one thousand men have been engaged nearly
three years in its completion and all rec
ords Of tunneling have been broken. The
ayeratt progress was from eighteen TO
twenty feet daily. The tunnel will abolish
the "switchback" over the Cascades, which
in itself has always been looked upon as

SPECIMEN EXCLUSIVE STORY
HaSden Bros. Take Local sheet to
Task for sprinGing Sensa-
tiOnal Fake.

William Hayden of the firm OF Hayden
Bros. was given a sample OF fake" news
paper work yesterday which was any
thing but pleasing to him. With bold head
lines, circumscribed with a deep border, a
morning paper printed the report that his
firm had purchased the site of the Catholic
church of st. Mary Magdalene parish and
would erect a five story building on the
ground to connect with their present loca-
ton
As soon as the article was brought to Mr..
Hayden's attention he called the Office of the
paper up by telephone, but found that
method OF expressing his ideas too re-
stricted, so he visited the building. and
when he left the management had his opin-
ion of fakes and fakirs expressed in Ian
guage both forcible and decisive.
There is not a word of truth in the
story" said Mr.. Hayden, 'and the per-
son who would publish such a statement
cares little for reputation for truth and
veracty. We have made no such purchase
and we may never do it."
