Many Applicants for Position of Po-
lice Matron, vacate by
Mrs. Little.

The resignation of Police Matron Mrs.
NJ. E. Little because Of her marriage to
J. H. Whitman is causing Chief Of Police
Donahue no end Of worry and trouble BY
10 yesterday morning fourteen applica-
lions had been received for the position
and the reception room was gradually hll-
ing with women, old and young, white
and black, all OF whom were willing to give
their services for the good of the city.
Among the applicants were two girls
about 20 years Of age. Chief Donahue in
ormed one Of these that she would have
to sign an agreement not to get married in
side Of two years, She agreed to take the
matter under consideration and report later.
Three colored women have applied and one
advanced the argument that as more coll
ored women were arrested than white peo-
pie 1t was right and proper that the jail
should have a colored matron. One woman
from out in the state applied by telephone

WILL ARGUE THE AGE LIMIT
Members of the Mckinley Republican
6 Club Expect Warm Meeting
"wednesday Night.

The Mckinley Republican club antici-
pates a good-natured but tropical de-
bate at it's meeting at the Willard
hotel Wednesday evening. At the last
meeting 1t was discovered that the
members have widely varying views
as to the age limit. 1t was originally the
intention to fix this limit at IS years as
the minimum and IS years as the maxi
mum, but some favor 21 as a minimum and
no limit as maximum. Still others favor 20
years as the minimum and as as the maxi
mum. President Crawford anticipates a
skirmish n has warned the members to
come prepared with their best arguments.
h club has already declared itself
against allying itself with any particular
man or faction in the party and the advo-
Gates OF a low maximum urge that to most
easily keep itself thus free 1t must bar out
the older and more experienced politicians
who might dominate. On the other hand, it
is urged by the advocates Of the unlimited
maximum that the counsel and support Of
just such men are needed by the club, most
of the members OF which are comparatively
inexperienced in campaign work.

Wyoming Cowboy Leaves Peculiar
Pledge with Clerk at Mil
lard Hotel.

Chief Clerk Davenport Of the Willard
hotel is exhibiting a beautiful pale blue
glass eye to curious people and Roy Hol-
comb is returning to Wyoming minus the
said same glass eye. and thereby hangs a
tale. Holcomb is a cowboy OF the old

works on a ranch. With the savings OF

years. Holcomb left yesterday with a

but his watch and a ring. which he left
with a couple Of "uncles."

WEDGE PLEADS NOT GUILTY
Hearing on Builders Exchange EN-
BezxIement Charge Set
for June "a.

William s. Wedge appeared in county
court yesterday to be a%rraigned on a
charge Of embezzlement, and pleaded not
guilty. His hearing was set for June a.
G.. w. Partridge and J. p. Merriam went
his bond for $500.
This is a new beginning OF a n old action
by the Builders and Traders exchange,
which charges Wedge with having appro-
priated to his own use upon different oc-
casions in 1899 a total Of $40 be-
longing to the exchange, of which
he was secretary at that time. J..
Fred Smith, as chairman OF the exchanges
Investigating committee, files the COM
plant, the indictment returned against
Wedge for the same alleged misconduct
having been knocked out by the decioion
Of Judge Baxter that the grand jury's work
was invalid.
Wedges attorney says in his defense that
the exchange is prompted by jealousy be-
cause Wedge, after being discharged,
started a similar exchange that proved
very successful. He says that 1t was not
until after the old exchange felt the in
roads of the new that 1t pretended to dis
cover discrepancies in the books kept by
Wedge.

CHARGE OF CRIMINAL LIBEL
Deputy County Attorney Files Come
plant Against South Omaha
Democratic Editor.

John M. Tanner, proprietor Of q South
Omaha democratic publication, has pricked
the sensitive cuticle Of 1~gnatius Jehovah
Dunn. deputy county attorney In and for
Douglas county, Nebraska and I~gnatius
proposes to have the law on him for GRIM
inal libel. filing a complaint In county court
yesterday, despite the muttered protest
of some democratic leaders, who considered
that there was already grief a~-plenty and
disaffection more than plenty within the
party ranks.
1t appears in the complaint that John M.
has been saying in his paper some real un-
kind things about the motives that prompted
~Ignatius to so persistently pursue Tom Dem
nison, while as persistently overlooking
others who tanner considered equally
guilty Of similar offenses, and ~Ignatlus de-
clares to the court that Tanner is so many
different kinds OF a hbeler that II requires
two lines to accommodate his descriptive
adjectives.
Il suppose Dunn has an idea," says a
South Omaha democrat, that he will be
indicating himself in pursuing this course,
but 1t seems to me that he is starting in
to stir up a row that will puncture his little
county attorney boomlet in SO many places
that he won't be able to count the holes.
Just at present the thing that we particu-
larly do not need Is another row. Tom
Nolan and those other South Omaha fellows
that the J~acksonian club tramped on, spit
on and finally threw over the transom smile
and smile, but are busy with their little
hammers Just the same, and the South
Omaha democracy Is so split UP already
that every member is wondering where he
is at"

Edna Cooke.

The Wonderful. In speaking Of the ex-
and altogether inimitable bareback
riding Of Edna Cooke, there is no language
too strong to proclaim her merits. Nor
is 1t claiming too much to aver that she is
beyond all question the most daring, the
most accomplished, and in every way the
most finished equestrienne the world has
produced. Her riding is a revelation and
a poem. Beautiful. as an houri and as
graceful as a fawn, Edna accomplishes on
her flying courser numberless feats none
else ever dared attempt. and backward and
forward somersaults are to her the merest
bagatelle. There are many eQuestriennes
in the profession, but there is but one
Edna and she Is with the Pan-American
Shows, which will exhibit at Omaha Mon
day, June 8, at goth and Paul streets.

Palestine-are but a few features of Salt
Lake City's countless attractions. There
are parks, drives. canyons and beautiful
outlying mountain and lake resorts. Imag-

Too Great a Risk.

In almost every neighborhood someone
has died from an attack Of collie or cholera
morbus, often before medicine could be
procured or a physician summoned. A re-
liable remedy for these diseases should be
kept at hand. The risk is too great for
anyone to take. Chamberlsin's Collie,
Cholera and DiRrrhoea Remedy has I'M
doubtedly saved the lives OF more people
and relieved more pain and suffering than
any other medicine in use. 1t can always

VERMONT LIVE STOCK COMPANY
CLOSES UP IT'S BUSINESS.

The Vermont Live Stock company, which
conducted a ranch in South Dakota 10
years. has been legally dissolved, its prop
erty sold and its Indebtedness lquidatcd,
by paying Il cents a share, the par value
of shares being s10o The enterprise, viii h
was launched Is years ago. has paid In
dividends l20,l7 per cent, but of tbs
amount 100 cent represents the invest
nent, leaving an income for the IS years
of 90. II per cent. Three dividends amount
ing to 26 per cent were paid in 1897 and two
dividends amounting to 80 per cent. were
paid In 1895. The company was organized
principally by Brattleboro business men,
in 1854. The ranch consisted of govern
ment land in South Dakota. The company
met with severe losses the first two years
but after that the business was conducted
at large profit for 10 years. A very seri-
Gus loss was sustained in the winter OF
1867, when the cattle became scattered
and from % to 20 per cent. persisted. That
was the beginning Of the end, and since
then the stock has been disposed of gradu
ally without Restocking. The losses, how
ever. were not entirely responsible for the
determination to wind up the business
Competition, the settling up of the country
and the high price of Texas cattle, which
| were used principally in stocking the
ranch, were important factors.

Montpelier is an aspirant for the place,
and whoever Is elected II Is sincerely
hoped that the scramble for this office
which has been dangerously near disgrace
full In former years will not be repeated
this year.
Thomas c. Cheney Of Morrisville is sure
of reelection as clerk of the House. In
past years Mr.. Cheney has demonstrated
his peculiar fitness for this laborious Of
flee and during the troubous times that
may be ahead of the Legislatire-e the

especially valuable. Fred L. Hamilton Of
salisbury will be reapponted first assist
ant clerk and Charles A. Plumley Of
Mortified second assistant.
For official reporters of the House sew
eral names are mentioned as candidates.
1t Is understood that Edwin Lawrence Of

and Col. ]. II. Mimms of st. Adams have
longing eyes turned in that direction.
Luther B. Johnson of Randolph, who has
given first-class satisfaction in this posi-
ton for the past six years. is understood
not to be a candidate for reappontment
Should, however, Mr. Johnson reconsider
his avowed determination it Is believed
he would receive the unanimous support OF
the daily press of tho State.
G.. s. Dana of New Haven, representa-
tive from that town in the Legislature OF
1000, will be chief clerk in the office OF
Secretary Of State Fleetwood after that
