FAVOR Johnson FOR V|(E
NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS WANT
HIM ON TICKET.
ARE MANY BRYAN ADMIRERS
The Auditorium in Lincoln Isn't Big
Enough to Hold the Swarm of Demo-
Gratis There for the Dinner-Senator
Allen Refused to Attend.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 15.-Special to
The News: Lincoln and Nebraska
democrats favor Governor John A.
Johnson of Minnesota for vice presi-
dent.
The Auditorium accommodations are
insufficient to hold the Bryan admirers
here for the big Bryan dollar dinner
tonight.
NJ. F. Harrington of o'Neill will be
the only Nebraska speaker aside from
Bryan.
About the liveliest subject in demo-
cratic state politics just now is the
way that Chairman T. S. Allen of the
state committee apparently sighted
one element of the party in the ar
engagements for the Bryan dollar din
ner at which it is expected 1000
will be present from all over Nebras-
ka. One noticeable thing was that A.
C. Shallenbarger, defeated candidate
for governor in 1904, was chosen to
act as postmaster, while it is said
that George w. Berge, who was Shall
lenbarger's rival for the nomination
at that time and is prominently men
toned for the governorship this year,
did not even get an invitation.
Chairman Allen, invited William V.
Allen of Madison, who is a populist,
to be one of the speakers at the dinner,
but the latter declined for some reason.
The hint has been thrown out that the
former United States senator refused
to come because he thinks Chairman
Allen is trying to wipe out the populist
organization in Nebraska and make
everything democratic which is not re-
publican. This does not coincide at
all with plans of the Madison states
man and other populist leaders. They
are not ready yet to give up their
separate identity as party. They be-
lieve if Bryan is nominated for presi-
dent and beaten this year, the demo
cratic party will return to it's old
idols of the Cleveland days, and if this
happens they expect the populist or.
ganization to regain it's former stand.
ing as a factor in national politics.
That is said to be the chief reason why
the pOpulists in number of Nebraska
counties have continued to herd by
themselves after their state organiza'
ton had nearly disappeared.
AS to Shallenbergers selection for
POSTMASTER, there are some democrats
who opine that Chairman Allen is
grooming him for another gubernato-
rial nomination. A len is also sup
posed TO be working with the end in
view to keep control of the party or.
ganization in haerso'wn hands, and
Shallengargers asthtance would be
worth something to$him in lining UP
local organizations in southwestern
Nebraska.

AN INSTITUTION OF THE TOWN

and bands; bands which are more than
noise distributors and bands which are
not Down In Madison they are laying
the foundation for n real band.
Madison has band that Is getting
to be something more than musical
organization. 1t is a town institution
and It is going to give Madison some
effective advertising.
Here are some points about the
Madison band: 1t has thirty-five mem.
bers who are experienced must
clans; lit has regular director
1t has $500 worth of saxophones; 1t
has a saxophone quartet that main
tains the reputation OF the saxophone
as the most effective OF concert instru.
ments; 1t is four months old and has
the solid backing Of Madison.
Here is the Instrumentation OF the
Madison band: Six comets, five clari.
nets, four saxophones, two BASES, one
B. bass, one baritone, four trombones,
two tenors, one piccolo, one flute, two
drums, one trap player. This gives
thirty-fve men without including the
director, the manager Of the band
and five beginners.
The list of new instruments purchas'
ed by the band during the last two
months is announced as follows: Two
clarinets, 500; two BASES, $240; four
saxophones, $4S4; three tenors, $3.50;
four mellophones, $240; two drums
$40; one cornet, 500; one baritone
SIS; one B. bass, $40; one piccolo, $40;

When Madison recognized its band
it went at the matter in business

ted as the official organ and supply
the county printing, the three weeks
fight between the Oakdale Sentinel
and the Neigh Register, who had in a
combination bid for the work against
the Leader, came to focus yesterday
afternoon when the new board of SUI

of the Neigh Leader as the lowest
and most responsible of those on file.
This will end the controversy as far
as the board is concerned, and it is
considered by majority of them that
the work did for the county by the
Leader in the past was fulfilled in
every respect, and the promptness that
the work was gotten out was appre-
ciated by the officials.

RAILROADS
WESTERNS FUTURE.
Several Western Roads Could Use
the Property in Connection

Several Western Roads Could Use
the Property in Connection
Many railroad men are busy making
new maps, says a Lincoln dispatch.
Discussion as to what road could use
the Great Western to the best advan-
tage is heard wherever railroad men
get together. That system has been
linked up during the past few days
with almost every railroad reaching
any of it's terminals and with some
that do not touch its lines at all.
Here is a list of some of the roads
that this system would look we'll with
when connected on the map: Kansas
Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Wa
bash, and Rock Island.
While it is not probable that any
one of these roads will get the Great
Western in the near future, railroad
men assert, most of them agree that
the Kansas City Southern could use
the Great Western System with more
effect on other lines in the Great
Western territory than any other
road. The Great Western is located
in a great grain producing country,
and the Kansas City Southern has
been making rather Intellectual bid
for grain traffic to the south for a
number of years. With the Great
Western it would have key to part
of the situation in the west and with
it's own lines could drain much ter
ritory.
The Union Pacific could use the
Great Western to a good advantage.
Western terminals of the Great West
ern are at Omaha and Kansas City and
the eastern terminals of the Union
Pacific are located at the same places.
This would give the Union Pacific it's
own line into Chicago from both Kan
sas City and Omaha, although neither
line would be short.
Local railroad men ascribe part of
the Great Westerns troubles to rate
cutting in the past and an inefficient
system of auditing that has not
brought to the treasury of the COM
pany the money that the road has
earned.

EARLY FIRE At STANTON
HOEHNE BLACKSMITH SHOP AND

1T STARTED ABOUT 2 O'CLOCK
The Hoehne Blacksmith Shop, the

of the barn, succeeded in getting out
all of the horses. Five sets of harness
burned.
Damage to the Schulz store amount

a large supply on hand.

Agent; Succeeds H. C. Matrau.
II. A. Drebret, the new agent of the
Northwestern in Norfolk, was check

ley coming up from Fremont for that
purpose.
Mr. Drebert now becomes the regu-
lar agent. Until the Office was formal
ly checked over it was conducted under
the name of H. c. Matrau.
Mr.. Matrau retired from the North

years to benefit by the age pension

years may retire on a pension after
reaching the age of siXty-five. After
seventy, save for executive officers,
retirement is obligatory. Under sixty
five employees may be retired for dis
ability subject to the companies ap-
proval.
Mr.. Matrau served the Northwestern
as agent in Norfolk for twenty-five
years. He fell short, however, Of hay
ing reached the age limit.
