NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS.
State Convention Meets to Select Can
didates and State Committee.


Lincoln, Neb., Aug 1S.-The repub-
licans of Nebraska met here today in
state convention to nominate candi-
date for Judge of the supreme court,
and university regents and select a
state committee. c. II. Sloan, of Gen
eva. was chosen temporary chairman.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 1S.-Not over a
hundred of the 1,051 delegates entitled
to seats in today's republican state
convention had arrived last night. This
is accounted for by the fact that the
honor of heading the ticket Is conceded
in advance to Judge John B. Barnes Of
Madison county, who will be nominated
for associate justice of the supreme
court by acclamation. No other candi-
date is mentioned, and all the prelimi
naries of the convention have been so
we'll arranged in advance that 1t is
doubtful if any caucuses are held up 10
the time of the meeting.
The only contests will be for the two
state university regencies, for whicn
there are four active candidates,
Charles S. Allen, of Lancaster county;
w. CT. Whitmore, of Douglas; +. A. Bar
ton, OF Pawnee. and L. NJ. Bates. OF
BSown. Their strength is about equally
divided. The express desire of party
leaders to have short. harmonious
convention, seems fair to be realized.
Delegates on .he ground say that therH
has been very little consideration Of
the platform. All are agreed that the
unanimous sentiment of the party in
the state calls for rousing endorse
ment of President Roosevelt's adminis-
tration, and that nothing short of =
hearty declaration in favor OF his NOM
nation next year is everywhere eX-
pected 1t is assured that such action
will be taken by the convention. and
that no resolutions committee could
be selected which would not report
such Endorsement to the convention.
Delegates declared that the open fight
of the party in the press and on the
stump would be made on the record of
President Roosevelt's administration.
The convention was called to order at
9 o'clock this afternoon. Charles ii.
Sloan of Fillmore county was tempor-
ary chairman, and in the absence from
the state of both Senators Millard and
Dietrich, one of whom would naturally
be selected as permanent chairman, the
temporary organization will probably
be made permanent.

STATE FAIR NEXT YEAR.
Iowa Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Commission Not Opposing One.

Commission Not Opposing One.
Des Moines, Aug. 1S.-The Iowa
Louisiana Purchase Expositicl COM
mission is not opposed to having the
Iowa state fair held next year, although
there is an impression to the contrary.
Secretary F. r. Conaway was asked
yesterday to define the attitude of the
commissioners on this question. which
must in a few months be settled by
the directory board of the state depart
ment of agriculture. Mr.. Conaway
said:
All this talk about the Iowa commits
sion urging the abandonment Of the
state fair next year because of the
worlds exposition at st. Louis, is not
only embarrassing to the commissions
ers, but an unkindness to the depart
ment of agriculture through which so
many favors have been received and
upon which they must rely for many
exhibits. The Iowa commission have
never expressed a desire that next
years state fair be postponed. In fact
there have been expressions from indi-
vidual members that the fair should be
held and from 1t the best exhibits Sc
cured to replenish the exhibits in the
agricultural and horticultural line,
which will by the first of September
need to be renewed. The work of the
Iowa commission as understand 1t is
to exhibit Iowa's products and to see
that Iowa interests are represented.
They have no desire to come in compe-
tition or to interfere In any way with
established institutions like the state
f,ir praSiGant NcKip1ay said that
"Expositions are the time keepers of
progress" and he meant fairs as we'll.
The Iowa state fair has become the
greatest in the country and to request
til. management to abandon the fair
for one year would be about as dis
courteous as the action of some of the
business men of Des Moines advertis-
ing on the eve of the state fair, ITO
wait for the big show Come to Des
Moines later in the season.

PEoR,A,s cuRFEw BELL RINGS.
city's Law Is Enforced For the First
Time In Forty Years.


Peoria, ILL.,, Aug 1s.-Peoria's curfew
bell rang at o'clock last night for the
first time in forty years. Promptly the
small boy and girl hied to their roof
tree. and the ever-vigilant Peoria po-
lice officer hurried tc and fro to catch
the delinquents. The list of arrests
was surprisingly small. Three or four
urchins were brought before Chief
Rhodes. who after severe lecture let
them free and they scampered home
The curfew law was written on Peoria's
statute book fifty years ago. but one or
two remembered il was there. During
the last three weeks there has been
much complaint because of boys and
girls running in the streets at night,
and many parents made complaint to
Mayor Woodruff, suggesting the en-
forcement of the law. Last night the
bell tolled and the police did the rest.
The new order worked admirably and
will probably be continued
