Sheldon WOrkine on Fences.
No haN re-
turned TO his home in Nehawka and has
announced positively over his own sigma
ture he will be a candidate for governor
before the republican state convention Lin
coin politicians are expecting a revival of
political talk al along the line. Inasmueh
as Sheldon persisted in looking after his
property interests rather than his political
fences during the last few months, and as
State Treasurer Peter Mortensen has been
ruled out OF the running by reason Of a
constitutional prohibition, the Lincoln fell
lows have been sitting back and listening
and doing little talking about a guberna-
torial candidate.
rumor was started Friday night, how
ever. that Sheldon was In Lincoln and the
politicians at once began to take notice
SO far as discovered, however, no one here
saw the senator, and 81 he was in the city
lacking a few boards on his fences the
general public is not aware Of the fact
Another rumor has 1t that Sheldon will
show UP in Lincoln tomorrow to talk things
over with some Of his friends and get next
TO what Is really doing
Several conferences have been held by
some OF the party workers during the last
two or three days. but it is evident nc
agreement has been reached when the
county convention should be held or wher
Chairman Walter Roberts will call tn,
committee together.
The state officers are not talking polite,
Mt all because all their time is taken VI
with other things, most notable of which
OF course. Is the railroad assessment. Their,
seems TO be little doubt now that tn,
board will conclude its labors in a shorte
time than the same work has been don,
since the new revenue law became opera
tive. The first two or three days Audito
searle was absent, but since that tim
every member has attended all the meet
inEs and a disposition is shown to get tn
work over with as soon as possible.
Haskell Buys Residence.
George Z. Haskell. president OF the Be
atrice Creamery company, has bought tn
residence OF Dr. George o. w. Farnam a
1901 E street, one OF the finest in the city
and will take possession the first Of tn
month. The consideration was not mad
public. DIR. Farnam will continue to reaAA
in Lincoln, but he said the deaf was mad
so quickly he had no idea where he woul
erect his next home. Mr.. Haskell is nov
in Chicago.
