republicans, in their state convention
Tuesday, made a new record for indus
try and harmonious work. Beginning
at two o'clock in the afternoon, the con-
vention transacted its necessary busi-
ness and was ready to adjourn three
hours later The nomination of Court
Commissioner John B. Barnes for as
sociate justice of the supreme court had
for weeks been forecasted, and his Sc
lection was more in the nature of rat
ification than a contest. The two sue
cessful candidates for regents OF the
university, Charles S. Allen and w. G.
Whitmore, were nominated on the first
formal ballot. President Roosevelt re-
ceived the heartiest commentator, and
a declaration was made for his renom-
ination.
The unexpected feature of the con-
vention was the adoption by unanimous
vote of a resolution declaring John L.
Webster, Of Omaha, one Of the delegates
to the convention and one of the WELL
known party leaders of the state, to be
the choice of Nebraska republicans for
vice president in 1904. The resolution
was offered just as the convention was
about to adjourn, and was received with
enthusiasm. Mr.. Webster expressed his
thanks for the honor in a speech OF
considerable length.

AUSTRIAN TRAMP'S SCHEME.
Overf&d by Sympathetic Farmers Ho
Resorts to Trickery to Obtain
Transportation.

Bohemia possesses a specimen OF
the genus tramp which it is doubtful
if even America, its native habitat, can
duplicate. He is a young man quite
well known in the. neighborhood Of
Kolin, and who had a record for pedes-
trianism that gained him much ad-
miration and fairly full stomach
most of the time, reports the New
York Journal.
Through being oyerfed by sympa-
thetic farmers and village people the
man recently became too fat and in
dolent to put one foot before the other.
Patience having ceased to become q
virtue with the people of Kolin, the
youth found it necessary to move on.
Being TOO tired to walk, he con-
ceiVed the audacious idea of getting a
free railroad ride-audacious because
it is only in America that railway en-
ployes wink at the schemes of tramps.
Having decided to go to Vienna the
young man calmly went to the police
station in Kolin and gave himself up
as the murderer of young woman in
the Austrian capital. He was prompt
ly seized and transported in comfort
to his destination, where it was soon
discovered that no such murder had
occurred.
A short term in prison for the tech
nical offense of contempt of court was
all that the tramp had to pay for his
ride. He showed his appreciation by
smiling broadly when sentenced.
