of his coat and remarked that It was a nice
evening, but chilly. Mr.. Larsen wanted
really to get away from the lady and go
along with his stroll. but he could not be
so impolite as to wrench himself away and
so allowed her to talk to him for three or
four minutes. at the end of which time she
disappeared down the dark alley with the

NO DOUBT AS TO LEGAL BODY
City Attorney Says Legality Of Washington
Hall Convention is Certain.
BoLTERs HAVE NO STANDING IN LAW
only way for ~DisEruntIed Element 20
Get Any domination on OmciaI
Ballot VIII He by
Petition.

City Attorney Connell was busy yesterday
morning assuring people that the nomina-
ton Of Mayor Moores and the other re-
publican candidates at Washington hall
Saturday afternoon was in every way legal,
the boilers having been industriously cir
c~ulating contrary reports.
Both from the standpoints Of a political
organization and that Of the perfect fair
ness It was legal and in strict Justice
said the city attorney. THE ticket nom
mated is the only one that will have right
TO go on the official ballot under the repub-
iican caption, and the city clerk 1t bound 10
accept the certificates Of nomination, which
are signed by the chairman Of the conven-
ton. OF course there is nothing to pre-
vent any number Of disgruntled republicans
from going forth petition in hand and try
ing to induce fifty or more others TO sign
It, asking that the name OF a certain can
didate be placed on the ticket. But on the
ballot the ticket must be plainly desig-
mated by petition
Boilers in on Organization.
The boiling republicans are as much
bound by the action OF the convention as
II they had remained until the end. They
recognized its preliminary organization and
its permanent organization and participated
III DOAu lhb NtHlpbldlJ hlh pei II "
ganizations. Such recognition is a COM
plete e~stoppal to any claim they may set
up that the convention was one without
authority and that any convention which
they may hold is the only true republican
city convention. The nomination Of Mayor
Moores simply cannot be questioned from
q legal or any other standpoint.
1.-THE history Of the fight Is a complete
and satisfactory vindication for Mayor
Moores. In the first place the central COM
mittee, with the exception Of one man,
was made up solidly from the opposition.
Fight rain Heavy odds.
1.-THE representation from the various
wards was juggled so as to benefit the
ants as much as possible and the election
boards. practically, were solely Of anti
Moores partisans. Despite all these odds
and the combination of all dissatisfied re-
publican interests the mayor carried FIVE
wards OF the nine in the city, winning a
clean majority of the delegates and re-
ceiving a big majority OF all the votes
cast. The desire of the voters was clearly
expressed and any attempt on the part
OF the convention to subvert or subordi-
nate these wishes shows an extreme Of
factionalism and is not in consonance with
with the word republican
1T is conceded that the primary fight
was one Of the fairest and cleanest ever
held in the city of Omaha-that is up to
the time the polls we're closed-and there
is not the slightest doubt but that the
will Of the majority of interested repub-
licans was definitely and accurately re-
corded"

NILES WILL CASE HEARING
Arguments for a New Trial viii Be Made
. NEXT Monday. ?
MOTION is BASED ON NEW TESTIMONY
81. Louis VIII to he onered in Evil
dence and other Matters sub
mitted I'm Hopes of Revers-
ing Results of Trial.

John l. Webster goes to Grand Island
next Monday to argue the Miles will case,
which Is to come up at that time before
Judge John r. Thompson on a bill in
equity which prays for a new trial Of the
celebrated Falls City case, the first trial
Of which was finally decided in the su-
preme court last week.
The opinion in the case lately handed
down by the supreme court was a decision
on the appeal which had been sued out
from the original hearing had at Falls
City in 1900. That trial was had in the
spring of the year 1900 and was decided
by Judge Thompson in the month of June,
1900.
In 1901 a bill in equity for a new trial
was filed on the ground OF newly discov-
cred evidence. In January. 1902, a large
amount Of additional testimony was taken
on this bill in equity for a new trial, which
included the testimony OF Paul T. Gadsden,
who testified that he wrote the st. Louis
will; and Of Mrs. Wilson, who testified that
she made a copy of this will on a type
writer at the time 1t was written; and also
the testimony of Judge Wind of St. Louis,
who testified that he was consulted at the
time about the terms Of the revoking
clause to be inserted in the st. Louis will;
and also the testimony Of Hon. John G.
Capers, United States attorney, and Mr..
Moulton, the United States marshal of
Charleston, s. c. In addition to the above
the testimony of Thomas L. Cannon OF st.
Louis, who testified hat he had been ad-
vised Of the writing of the st. Louis will
at the time 1t was written, and the
testimony Of Judge Gait OF st. Louis, de-
failing the circumstances under which the
writer of the st. Louis will was found.
The testimony Of the foregoing witnesses
has been supplemented by other additional
matter bearing upon and intending TO sup
port the st. Louis will.
Has waited on Supreme Court.
The hearing on the bill in equity has
been delayed from time to time awaiting
the handing down Of the opinion of the
supreme court in the original appeal, so
that Judge Thompson might have the BEN
eft Of the opinion of the supreme court
on the law Of the case in so far as 1t re-
lates to questions that may arise upon the
coming hearing.
The opinion of the supreme court lately
handed down is considered by the attor-
neys for the plaintiff as favorable TO the
heirs claiming under the will in that 1t
rules that the declarations and statements
of the t~estator are admissible in evidence,
and that the testimony of the heirs who
contested the will is also admissible in
evidence, and that II there be proof that
the st. Louis will was Inconsistent with
the probated will. or II the St. Louis will
contained a revoking clause that it would
destroy the probated will. These points
are all covered and made by the testimony
taken in the suit for a new trial.

Health Of the community is very
good except Mrs. w. T. Sandifer' S
sick baby, the doctor has about lost
hope of.its recovery. --------There has
been so much rain, no corn has been
planted yet. Title liver is full of
water and the roads full of mud, not
much hauling freight from town can
be done. .-- People will be ready to
farm when the ground gets dry. A
great deal of wire fencing has been
made during the wet weather, only
three wires. No preparations are
being made to raise hogs. Hog rails
ing is a thing of the past. The opin-
ion of some is, that move will be
made to discontinue the stock law af-
ter the five year runs out and then the
razor back hogs raising will set in.
1t is expected there will be a
good yield of fruit this year. The
fruit agent was around last week max
ing engagements. He had very fine
variety Of samples of the fruit from
the trees An artist came through
the country last week taking pictures,
he proposed to take the family group
and residence. He said he would
charge for the group and the residence,
would be free of charge. Miss Ma
