LINCOLN, Sept. 1.-(Special George l.,
sheldon's statement Of ante-campaign ex-
penses shows that a contest for the guber-
material nomination costs something in
Nebraska. He spent sSs5aS prior to the
convention. II he contributes $500 to the
campaign fund as Governor Mickey did
last year, his expenses will exceed 1900.
Mr.. Sheldon, like Governor Mickey, is a
well to do man. The statement filed this
afternoon with the secretary Of state by
Mr.. Sheldon is as follows: Railroad fare.
sS55s; hotel bills, $3.50; livery team, sz.I5;
telephone fare, $3.50; stationery, tT.f0:
rent typewriter, SO; salary stenosrapher.
sl61.25; printing, tz7.75; hall rent, Germania
hall. Blair, s12; postage, t11s.eS; badges. SO;
total s5s5.ss.
Norris Brown has fled a statement Of
tSSS.A expenses incurred In his pursuit of
the nomination for the United States
senate. OF that amount s16sA was for
railroad fare and SIG for hotel bills. The
balance was for livery hire, stationery
and postage. Secretary of State Galusha
spent $3.50 for headquarters rooms and
postage and then missed the nomination.
]. A. Williams. republican candidate for
railroad commissioner says he spent
nothing.
Senator Burkett at Home.
Senator Burkett arrived home this after
noon from vinton, Ia, where yesterday,
he closed series OF chautauqua engage
ments extending over a period of seven
weeks. During that time he has travelled
ls,4e6 miles; has spoken in eleven states
and made an average of a speech a day.
He says that he was greeted everywhere
kindly. with good crowds both in number
Ia oxrd
at Shelbyville. ILL.,. where there were OIL
most $4,000 people in attendance. 1t was
the largest crowd In the history of the
ehautauqua, and the receipts were $500
more than Bryan day last year. other
exceptionally large crowds were at Frank
lin. o. Monmouth, ILL.,; North Hampton,
Mass; Chetek, Wis, and Pennington Ia
The senator is pleased to get home
again. His vacation has been a hard
working one, although he has stood 1t
we'll and is none the worse for the wear
and tear of so much travelling and speak
Ing. He says he is ready for the cam
paign and will give all his time into the
hands of the state central committee.
He expressed great pleasure over the
republican ticket and the action OF the
state convention, and feels assured that
the republicans should elect every can
overwhelming majority.
No Complaint Appears.
No complaint has been filed this after
noon with Governor Mickey against the
Omaha Fire and Police commission. The
delay Of the expected fling rs not ac-
counted for. A hearing was to have been
held in regard to the South Omaha COM
plant against Van SAINT, but nobody ap-
peared before the Royernor
Excise Board Takes It Back.
The excise board yesterday afternoon,
under the fire of a vigorous protest of
hotel owners. modified the rule passed a
few days ago declaring that all hotel
cafes should cut out the sale Of intoxi-
carts to patrons.
Hereafter patrons of the hotel cafe
may secure liquor as before, but they
must order II direct from the bar and a
ticket must be fled directly to the credit
Of the drinking resort No liquor must
be served to patrons OF cafes after the
bar is closed.
