Announcements for candidates for county
office on the democratic side of the fence
already give a, sort of an outline of what
the democratic county ticket may look like
this fall. 1t is fairly we'll settled that
Sheriff John Power will be renominated for
fourth term. A lot of other democratic
statesmen think they are cut out TO be
sheriffs, among them Tom Flynn, John Lid
dell. Jailer Roach, the perennial Jim Con
molly, TO say nothing Of lesser lights, but
the chances are they will all have to take
back seat for the present sherifr as the
only man who has record OF success to
stand on.
For treasurer William Fleming who has
been drawing the saldry of city tax COM
missioner for six years, will be in the run

ting G. Fred Elsasser to run again having
been abandoned for various good and suf-
tcient reasons Fleming. who was elected
TO his present office a silver republican,
insists now that he is a true-blue democrat
and the abolition of the once Of city tax
commissioner would otherwise leave him
without a job.

]. w. Woodrough is booked 10 take the
democratic nomination for county judge
without contest. Woodrough is pretty
new in Omaha as compared with some
other democratic lawyers who have been
hewing wood and carrying water for the
party for many years, but as the partner
Of w. F. Gurley he promises to bring with
him the support OF Gurley and his class of
republicans, who are half democrats, and
want this sop to hold them.
County Clerk Drexel is much in the same
boat as sheriff Power and expects a re-
nomination without hustling too hard for
1t. The democratic ticket without him, his
friends insist, would not look natural.
These four Offices are all the democrats
will really night for. although they will
probably put up candidates for the rest of
the ticket for fear they might be accused
OF running short OF material. For police

Tremendous Mortality
Rate Among Soldiers
at the Front.
5000 DEAD AT HARDIN
One Weeks Record-Hor-
rible Conditions at Rail-
way Stations.

PARIS, March 20.-The Petit Jour-
nal has received a dispatch from ST.
Petersburg which says that the death
rate among the Russians at the front
is very heavy.
Five thousand men died at Harbin
last week from disease or as the re-
suit of the wounds received in battle.
The conditions there are reported as
being horrible in the extreme. Most
of the railroad cars and trucks upon
which the wounded are brought in
are left on sidings near the station
without the injured soldiers being re-
moved.
The result of this can be easily
imagined. The station has become a
combined hospital and refuse heap
from which a horrible stencil is emit
ted.
Some Of the figures given place the
number of wounded and sick Rus
slams in Harbin at 10000.

Buffalo and Wilkesbarre Also
Suffer From the En-
ragged Waters.
MUCH DAMAGE DONE

PITTSBURG, Pa. March 20.-An ice
laden torrent Is this morning rushing
down the Allegheny river and during
the day will inundate the lowlands of
the valley and of Pittsburg and Allie
gheny City with a flood stage of 2S to
80 feet. The crest of the flood will have
passed before nightfall.
Ample warnings were sent out and
business interests likely to become af-
fected are now. SO far as is possible
protected and prepared. There will be
only a slight rise in the Monongahela
river. A number of mills and factories
located on the banks of the Allegheny
river in Pittsburg and points above,
have closed down and many hundreds of
men have been temporarily idle.
There is much heavy ice on the crest
of the flood and this has done some
damage to bridge piers and exposed
property. The many lee gorges which
have choked the channels of the river
and its tributaries, since early in De-
cember, have all been released by rain
and thaw and are afioat. In the smaller
streams, much damage to property has
occurred, but no loss of life has been
reported
