The San Francisco Examiner re- fuses to support the democratic nom- inee for governor of California.
 The Wisconsin democratic state convention listened attentively to the reading of a resolution endorsing the Kansss City platform and then re- fused to have it entertained by the convention.
 The territorial democratic platform is almost identical with the demo cratic platform of this conniy. Courier. Remarkakable coincidence. Particularly so, when the same par ties drafted both documents.
 Col. J. F. Wilson was nominated by exclamation at Tucson yesterday His nomination was seconded by c. NJ. Shannon who withdrew from the race when he saw the case was hope less.
 The democrats are becoming ashamed as their legislative ticket and it is rumored that they will be requested to withdraw from the ticket so that the county central committee can appoint other candi- dates.
 Colonel Wilson may now sing: "0nly One More River Fer to Cross" He has done nothing else all summer but cross rivers and some of them have been pretty turbulent, but they have been mere riyulets beside the strong broad stream on the banks of which he now stands and casts a wistful eye toward the seat in con- gress which he warmed at one time.

It is thought that on account of the ad- vaRced age of most of the members of the organization that the reunions of the future will be more in the nature of business meetings than at present, and that Washington will be easier of access and better than other cities.
 Our contemporary this morning commenced its bi-aunual campaign against the Journal-Miner ana its editor. The same old material which if has been using for the past eight or ten years is being resurrected and the cobwebs and dust brushed from the face of the type and for the next two months the columns of that sheet will be filled with its accustomtd q campaign howls about the J.-M. The matter is left standing in type from year to year and used Gs answer to everything said about a democratic candidate.
 The iacI that the democratic ma chine skipped cog in the nomina- ton for sheriff does not disprove its being a machine made aud a machine run affair. 4 man was certainly dull of comprehension who failed l0 catch oa to the cut and dried affair ou;side Of the nomination for sheriff.

The dispatch confirms the report that the village of Le Carbet was damaged by tidal wave, which was also felt at Fort de France, where the people are panic stricken.

A SUFFERING WIFE

A man can rarely enter into woman's sufferings when they are caused by dis eases peculiarly feminine. Even when the character of the suffering is graph ically described the man cannot appre- ciate the force of terms for which he has no equivalent in his experience. All he can do is to syrps.hize and suggest.
 But when a wonian hears the story of c woman's suffering every word has its just weight with her. Even more, she

CITY FACES A MEAT FAMINE
Chicago suffer as Result of the
Packing House Teamsters'
Strike.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-Chicago's beef sup
ply from the stock yards has been almost
entirely cut OF and unless the concessions
demanded by the striking teamsters are
granted within the next day or two the city
will be face to face with a meat famine.
The big packers failed in every attempt
to smuggle meat out of the yards, but
wholesale and retail butchers who usually
drive their own wagons and taxi out loads
Of provisions have been forbidden to do SO
In he future. A number of them today
were allowed to carry away stun that they
had bought Of the packers, but they were
warned not to return for any more until
the trouble is settled.
As q result there Is movement on foot
among the 1900 or more butchers Of Chi
cago to close their shops for q week or two,
or as long as may be necessary to defeat
the packers in their fight against the team
sters. Most OF them declare thai they are
In sympathy with the strikers and feel thai
stopping the sale Of beef would be the most
effective way to help the teamsters. Nc
unions have yet declared q sympathetic
strike. but many individual member have
been doing all in their power to aid the
teamsters, and II the present situation con.
tinues much longer 1t Is asserted in unior
circles that other locals, such as the ice
and coal men, may Join the teamsters. SIX
OF the firms today met the demands OF ttss
strikers and signed the new scale, but the
big concerns are still defiant.

Since no school will be held on Friday,
Memorial day will be celebrated in all OF

Grand Army of the Republic posts Of the

permission, and this permission for the

vail Of massing the pupils In one Of the
halls. where the address Will be delivered

children will then be marched back to their

there will be decla nations and music. The

MORE WORK FOR ASSESSORS
Labor Commissioner Wants Them TO Comply
with Law Of 1897.
STATISTICS ABOUT ADULT POPULATION
Unless the Assessors Gather the De-
sired Data at once Mandamus
Proceedings VIII he Taken
Against Them,

There is being mailed from the county
clerks ONCE a letter to each Of the twenty
nine assessors Of Douglas county advising
him to report at the office next Saturday at
10 o'clock to hear the instructions Of the
county attorney concerning the collection
Of statistics which Deputy Labor Commits
sioner c.. E. Watson has demanded.
The county attorney will tell the assessors
that unless they collect the desired data
he will be obliged to bring mandamus pro-
ceedings and compel them TO do so. The
task is a large one, and there may be
trouble, as some doubt exists as to the
ability Of the assessors to collect extra pay
for the work. h confusion has arisen as
a result Of the hardness Of the supreme
courts decision In a recent test case.
Text of the Law.
Since 1897 there has been a Nebraska
statute ~(section z, chapter xxx b. which
reads:
At the time of the assessment of prop
erty for taxation for county and state
purposes II shall be the duty of the town
ship and precinct assessors to enroll the
names of all persons over q years of age
in their respective townships or precincts,
together with their several occupations. II
farmers or manufacturers. the product OF
their several farms or factories during the
past year, and IL wage workers, the time
they have been employed during the past
year and the wages they have received for
the same. 1t shall be the duty Of the
county clerk on or before the first day of
July In each year to forward a summary
Of such reports of their respective counties
to the State Bureau Of Labor. The. deputy
commissioner of labor shall compile such
reports and shall embody them in his bien-
NAL report to the governor.
1t is said that a report for Douglas county
was compiled the year the law became
effective and that the commissioner sent
back word from Lincoln that it was the
best received there, but 1t is said that since
that time none has been prepared, as there
was a test case pending before the supreme
| court, based on the allegations Of a de-
PENDANT assessor that the statute was un-
constitutional because the bill contained
more than one subject, a subject not in the
title and attempted to amend an act to
which 1t was not german.
Supreme Courts Decision.
When the Douglas county assessors be-
gan their work May 1 the courts decision
had not been rendered, but Deputy Com
missioner Watson wrote. advising that the
assessors collect the desired statistics
anyhow, and County Clerk Miller repeated
the advice, but It is understood that the
assessors have not done as instructed. The
supreme court has recently handed dow
its opinion sustaining the constitutionality
Of the statute, and yesterday Deputy
| Watson telephoned from Lincoln to the
county clerk that he would insist on hav'
ing the information and would instruct
the county attorney to bring msndamut
proceedings II necessary.
