Governor shsldon f. BeIng oongratu-
lated on IRIS appointment OF
Omaha's Fire and Police
Commisston.

year. w. NJ. GiIler two-year ana Robert

The chief topic of public interest in
Omaha Thursday was Governor Shell
cons appointments on the new board
Representative citizens were free to say
that Governor Sheldon used great wisdom
In selecting such strong men as he did
for the places and was to be congratu-
lated that the men selected accepted the
appointments.
Having not received their commissions,
the new commissioners did not think IL
wise Thursday to make any state
ments regarding the policies they would
s pursue. but It is generally understood that
the new board is in full sympathy with
the governor in the matter OF law en-
forcement and upon that sensitive subject
the Slocumb law-the governor fully ex-
planned himself at a banquet in Omaha on
January %.
"All would care to say at this time is
that fully believe the board will do what
It believes its duty" John L. Kennedy
said. Robert Cowell, e. c. Page and w.
N. Giller were averse to making any state
ments until their commissions had been
received. They probably VIII find them in
their mail this morning.
Too Much Law, Says Mayor.
The only criticism Mayor Dahlman had to
make was the fact that three Of the four
new commissioners are lawyers The mayor
believes there are too many lawyers But
speaking seriously the mayor said he be-
heved the appointments were we'll advised
and believed no mistakes had been made
by the governor in this instance.
DR. George L. Miller. member of the old
board Thursday morning wrote Governor
Sheldon congratulatory note on the wis
dom of his appointments. ''The new board
Will lend a high standard to our city gov
eminent I am much pleased with the
new board" DR.. Miller said.
I'd p. Smith said: IT am OF the opinion
the new board is a strong one"

hOunE COmtskey Managing Crowd OF
blooming white sOx.
SIOUX CITY, Ia. April A-The business
interests OF the No. White sox are being
looked after BY Louis J. Comiskey son
of the "Old Roman" Charles Comiskey,
owner Of the worlds champions. The real
champions are playing in Indiana. This is
an overflow team. Some Of the players
In the No. 2 team did enjoy the distinc-
ton Of sitting on the bench and waiting
game, and Babe Towne, O'Neill and
Dundon each got a crack at the bat, but
In no sense can this bunch of players be
construed into being the worlds cham
piona
Louis Comiskey is highly pleased with
the showing of the understudics. Speaking
Of the former Western league-s now with
his team he said:
"Quillin and Welday have been showing
Tine form and they will be kept for substi-
tute work on the regular team. Both are
hitting strong and fielding fast Babe
GMne is 70 go to Gaatilon M5nneePo POLLS
behind the bat but we have three other
fine men in Sullivan, Mcfarland and Hart.
Dundon also will go to Minneapolis. These
two men will leave us next Tuesday at
Peoria, ILL.,, and will go to Des Moines to
join Cantillons Minneapolis aggregation,
what are Quiilin's, chances for getting
Comiskey.
"Quillln would have a good chance II
Tannehill should drop dead"
The junior Comiskey said he expected the
champions to win the American league
pennant for 1907.
The Team looks better than last year,
he remarked. Manager Jones is thinking
Of switching George Davis to third base
and putting Lee Tannehill at short. Other
wise the lineup will be the same as last
season. Roth, the old Sioux City player,
who assisted us during the latter part of
the Season, will go back to Milwaukee"
Under the leadership of Gus Dundon,
second baseman, the Junior Sox have been
having successful trip. Des Moines, with
the assistance of several players of the
Minneapolis team, gave them one OF the
closest arguments Of the spring season.
the score being to 2.
Incidentally It might be well for Comis-
key to get a contract signed by Davis be-
fore he changes his position. and so far
George is holding out for more pay.

Just before the war brother, Herr Co

Creighton at Vinton street park this after
moon for five innings. Pas Coming Cham
pions hadn't the heart to go right in and
wallop these Chicago youngsters before
they had time to set the kinks out of their
joints and so arrangements were made 10

below win be noticed the names Of
Dundon, Quillin Welday and Towne, ell
graduates from the Western league. Roy

member of the original team which Comis-
key had when he stepped into Chicago
base ball will be on hand. This game, as
we'll as all exhibition games. will be called
at $3.50 Instead of the usual time of 345
when the games are called IN the league

harrington Elevator.

HARRINGTON, Neb., April A-(Special.)
The Peavey elevator here was burned
yesterday and 1t was only by hard work
on the part of the local fire company that
the Great Northern mills and several other
buildings were not destroyed. Spontaneous
combustion is supposed to be the cause
Of the FIRE. The elevators and sheds burned
are estimated at a value Of about 5000
The elevator was bought about a month
ago by a company headed by Sherman
Saunders Of Bloomfield, who bought all of
the Peavey elevators in Nebraska, but it is
understood the transfer Of the property
had not yet taken place. 1t is thought the
elevator will be rebuilt.
