REPUBLICANS OF NEBRASKA.
Ticket on Which They Hope to Win
This Years Election.

Lincoln, Neb., May 2-Everybody was
indicated to-day in the Republican State
Convention. With two exceptions the
state ticket was nominated by accIama-
ton.
The contest over delegates at large, cen
tering in the fight made on Senator Thurs
ton, caused intense excitement while the
roll call was being made. But when the
result of the balloting showed that both
the Senator and Editor Rosewater, who
headed the anti-Thurston movement had
been elected, the convention gave itself
up TO the widest of cheering.
The convention assembled at 2:30 D. M
and shortly before o'clock had finished
its business and adjourned sine die.
The ticket nominated is as follows:
For Governor-Chares H. Dietrich of
Hegtings.
Lieutenant Governor-E. P. Savage OF
Custer
Secretary of state-George W. Marsh
of Falls City.
Treasurer-William Sueffer of Cum
mugs.
Auditor-Charles Weston of Sheridan.
Attorney General-F. N. .Prout of Gage.
Land Commissioner-Georg d. Fulmner
of Nuekolls.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Prof. W. K. Fowler of Falls City.
Delegates at large to the National Con-
northumberland Rosewa ter, Senator John
NJ. Thurston, j. M. Clay, ]. A. Ehr-
hardt
Alternates at Large-Norris Brown, Mr..
Snodgrass, H. C. Baird, Charles Haley
Presidential Electors-J. r. Nesbitt r.
u. window, Il. Boyce, l.. w. Haig, 5.
r davidson j. L. Jacobson, John L.
Kennedy John L. Lander.
The roll call for delegates at large was
followed with breathless silence by the
lo53 delegates and 1900 spectators pres
ent. The result was in doubt until the
last moment, when the convention broke
loose and cheered.
selection of alternates at large and
presidential electors was made by accla-
nation. Mr.. Dietrich, president of the
German National Bank of Hastings, the
only name presented, was nominated for
Governor by reclamation. Mr.. Dietrich
accepted in a brief speech, in which he
predicted a reclamation of Nebraska by
the Republicans in November.
The platform adopted eulogizes the
present prosperous condition of the ma
ton, indorses the Mckinley administra-
tion and indorses the gold standard leg
islaton.
1t approves of the governments insular
policy and the trust plank follows:
The Republican party recognizes that
legitimate business, fairly capitalized and
honestly managed, has built up our in
dustries at home, given the largest en-
ployment to labor at highest wage, and
enabled us successfully to compete with
foreign countries in the markets of the
world But the Republican party now, as
always, is unalterably opposed to all
trusts and combinations having for their
purpose the sitting of competition and ar
prices"

MANY STRIKES IN GEORGIA.

many and widely diversified branches of
organized labor, is on in Atlanta and sur
rounding towns.
The soft stone cutters of Atlanta, who
number less than 100, quit work last
night. They want an eight-hour day at
40 cents, and the contractors are willing
to give 35 cents. The matter has been
placed in the hands of Charles A. Col
lier, ex-Mayor, for settlement by arbitra-
ton.
Granite cutters of Atlanta, Redan, Ii
thonia and Stone Mountain went out yes

LAYMEN TO HAVE A VOICE.
Given Representation i'm the Metho-
dist Conference.

Chicago, May 2.-The pulpit and the
pew share equally in the highest govern
mental body of the methodist Church
, Without a dissenting vote the General
Conference at the auditorium to-day rati-
fled the action of the annual conferences,
extending equal representation to the
laity The provisional delegates were ad-
mitted without a contest.
Mrs. M. Y. McAiahan withdrew her
claim to a seat in the conference, rather
than jeOpardiZe the status of her male
colleagues.
The step taken makes the Methodist
Church q democratic body; the rule of
the preacher passes with the century. The
episcopacy in the church long since has
been restricted to a superintendent with
out any authority beyond the placing of
ministers and suggestions to the general
and annual conferences. The ministers
were more enthusiastic over the loss of
their power than the laymen over their
additional power There were 157 provis-
ional delegates to fill up the disparity in
their proportional representation. Only
eighty-five however, responded to the roll
call following their admission. The limit
ed lay representation gave the pews 2l5
votes.
Four ministerial delegates were absent
AS the roll was made up to-day there are
3j6 preachers and 236 laymen on the regu-
lar list AT least fifty reserve laymen
will close some of the breaches in the del
egation.
The conference opened to-day the TWEEN
ty-ninth general meeting of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. 1t will last a month
DR.. David s. Monroe of Central Pa, was
elected secretary. The visitors were given
a reception tonight.
The book of discipline in reference to
representation at conferences was chang
ed to read thus:
The lay delegation shall consist of one
layman for each annual conference. ex-
cept such conferences as have more than
one ministerial delegate which conferences
shall each be entitled to as many lay
delegates as ministerial delegates.
THE general conference shall not allow
that more than one lay representative for
every fourteen members of annual con-
ference, nor less than one for every forty
five, nor more lay delegates from any an
nual confe renee than there are ministerial
delegates from such an annual conference,
provided, nevertheless, that there shall
be in any annual conference fractional
of two-thirds the number which shall be
fixed by the ratio of representatio such
annual conference shall be entitled to an
additional delegate for such fraction; and
provided, also, that no conference shall be
denied the privilege of one ministerial del
egate and one lay delegate"

can be served al an instant's notice, either
with rich cold cream, or with hot milk. II
a hot dish is desired. When milk or water
are used, little sugar should be added,
but when cold cream is used alone the
natural grape sugar, which can be seen
glistening on the granules, Is sufficiently

some people think, but exudes from the
