Although the convention of the Pop ulists of Alabama was held July 4th last. 1t was not until late hour Satur- day evening that Mir. Johnson. of Sell ma, brought an ofiicial certificate to the office of the Secretary of State contain ing the nominees of that party in the general election. and hled 1t. Bv so doing, 1t made the sixth political party to certify its intention of putting a national ticket in the field in this State to be voted on November 3rd.
 It had begun to apear that the Pop ulists would hold off for ssood. The Prohfbitionists Saturday morning filed Secretary of State and thus insured the names of their candidates for electors being put on the offivial ballot in ev- cry county Chief Clerk Cy B. Brown was preparing to close all doors and books when in walked the representa- tive of the Populist organization with the certificate of their nominees.
 The Populists. like the Prohibition ists, have only nominees for hte electo- raj honors. They are as follows
 Electors for the State at large-A- F. Longshore, of Shelby county. and l. M. Boswell, of Geneva county.
 Electors by districts:
 First district--Webster C.. Kyle. of Monroe county.

SANTA CLAUS LETTERS COME
Such Mail VIII Be Sent to the Char

stftuttOnS,

The advance guard of Santa Claus letters
is putting in it's appearance at the Omaha
postoffice. The letters are addressed chiefly
to Santa Claus Omaha.
1t is probable the same rule will apply
this year as last in the absence of contrary
instruction from the postoffice department,
in sending the Santa Claus letters to the
benevolent and charitable organizations of
the city for disposal at their discretion.
Some of the letters already mailed are
held for insufficient postage and cannot
be delivered at all. A couple of letters
were received at the postoffice Friday
morning, which had evidently been written
by the same party. They had but a one
cent stamp on them and consequently may
not be delivered at all, much to the grew
Gus disappointment of the senders or SEN

South Omaha officials and beginning with
the first official acts of the former admin
istration.
Much testimony was given showing the
crimes that had been committed in the pool
halls on n street, between Twenty-siXth
and Twenty-seventh streets, and the low
and crimina character of many of the peo-
pie about these halls. We believe that
these halls and all other places harboring
people of similar character should be closed.
We recommend that the Fire and Police
board issue orders governing prostitution
and the illegal sale of liquor similar to or
ders recommended covering these matters
in Omaha.
Outside of Omaha and south Omaha.
Some time was spent i'm questioning
councilmen or trustees Of ell towns in this
county outside of Omaha and South
Omaha. Certain saloon keepers in Ben.
son, Florence, Bennington, tlkhorn and
Willard were found to be selling liquor Ill
Most of the officials questioned, holding
office in these towns, admitted they had
never read the law governing such towns
and knew only from hearsay what their
duties were in their official capacity. Oh,
ficials and business men from Valley and
Waterloo testified that these towns were
doing as much business and that the towns
We're better off In many respects now
than before the saloons were closed about
one year ago. .
In conclusion, we wish to say that about
the time the present grand jury met, we
are advised that opium joints and Douglas
street auction houses closed; the illegal
sale of liquor in many places stopped;
houses and flats In the retail and down
town residence district, formerly occupied
by prostitutes, became boarding houses for
working girls: plays and pictures eNhib-
tied in questionable theaters in Omaha
and South Omaha improved; suggestive
and obscene postal cards disappeared from
view in some Omaha and South Omaha
stores. and other unmistakable evidences
of fear OF the grand jury were shown.
We to citizens Interested i'm
good government and who desire to appear
or place evidence before a grand jury, to
secure their evidence before the grand
jury meets and not while it is in session.
This evidence should be secured by and
least two witnesses, and in every instance
the full names Of offenders, the exact To-
cation by street numbers where offenses
are committed, and other specific informa-
tion should be gathered.
Grand juries cannot indict unless good
nesses, is placed before them. Citizens In
terested in good government and law
obedience. car make the services of a
grand Jury valuable to a community by
rendering it such assistance.
