Hours For Seeing Visitors,

ESPECIAL TO THE REPUBLICAN,
Lincoln, Dec, -. Governor
Sheldon left Liucoln for Green
vile, Miss, where he has large
landed interests, on Thursday,
December 17th. Before depart
ing, Governor Sheldon said: II
shall not appoint supreme
judge before January This
sets at rest the immediate pros
pect of a supreme court justice,
at least during the period cover
ing the holidays, and disposes OF
the daily expectation that this
important announcement might
be given out any hour.
Governor Sheldon will be alb
sent from Lincoln about a week,
during which time he expects to
adjust his business affairs in the
southern state. In Mississippi,
where the governors land is To-
Gated, the farm year begins Jan
uary lst and all changes, rentals,
and removals date from that per-
iod, instead of March 1st as they
do III Nebraska. Thls is the oc-
casion tor the governors presence
being required IN the south at
this time. In conservation about
that section OF the country to
which he goes, Governor Sheldon
said that the past year had been
an unfavorable crop seosan, re-
sulting from bad spring weather
and a dry summer. On the day
prior TO his departure Governor
Sheldon advised an inqulring
friend that his absence would be
for about a week and that it was
for him to hurry his return as he
had not yet written a line OF his
message to the Legislature This
is not surprising, in view OF the
enormous pressure on the govern.
or's time since the election, he
having been constantly enga ged
with serious routine duties of his
Office, and endeavoriug at the
same time 10 give hearing toI
hundreds Of Nebraska citizens
who have poured into the capital
in streams TO offer advice, sug-
gestions, or request, relating TO
appointments still pending. So
serious has the friendly iutelfcr-
ence been that Governor Sheldon
recently found it necessary to an
nounce uffice hours during which
he would receive visitors, reserv-
ing to the necessary duties OF his
Office the remaining hours Of the
day. The visiting hours an
nounced are two hours Of the fore
noon, it being imperative that |
the governor reserve the rema IN
ing time for pressing otticisl bus

During the past week ]. Il. |
Dean, OF Broken Bow, was one of |
the governors visitors, coming in |
connection with his candidacy |
for the vacant judgeship. Mr.. |
Dean is Democrat, and, while
no authorized prediction can
be made, 1t is asserted by the |
political wiseacres that he prob
ably heads the list of Democratic |
applicants in the favorable |
chances of appointment.

so SAYS SUPERINTENDENT OF ANTI.
SALOON LEAGUE
POLITICAL EMBEZZLEMENT."
DR.. Carns State Superintendent or Anti.
Saloon Lengue, Strongly Disfavors The
Thomas and Carr Letters. Says
County Option Bill Will Pass.

Lincoln Dec. 81. An echo OF
the recent state campaign, which
resulted in the defeat Of George
l.. Sheldon for governor, came
from the meeting of the trustees
OF the anti-saloon league of the
state, held in Lincoln on Wednes-
day last. Over the opposition of
Elmer Thomas, of Omaha, the
author of the famous Thomas
letter of the recent campaign,
Rev. J. B. Carns was reelected
state superintendent of the league
and the Thomas contingent were
forced to listen to drastic rasp-
ing In the report of superintendent
and to also sec the report adopted
and DR.. earns unanimously re-
elected. DR.. Carn's report stroug-
ly disavowed both the Thomas
aud the Carr letters of the recent
campaign and characterized them
with the term-'political em-
bezzlement". A paragraph from
Dr.. Caru's report, after detailing
the unauthorized and improper
character of the Thomas letter,
recites: "You should pass a res
|olution cancelling any counec-
tion with any so-called alliance
and condemn this Thomas Carr
letter, and that will set the state
league right before the public"
In his report DR.. earns deals with
the outlook for county option
Legislation by the next legisla-
ture in this optimistic manner:
1--WE have IL of 80 in the senate
and some non-committal; we have
46 of 100 in the house and some
uon-committal, which gives us
an opportunity to win out for
county option"
This is the first census OF the
approaching Legislature made
public by any authorizad claim
ing to know the complexion of
the body on the questions of
of county option and will possess
equal interest for all interested
in this movement, either pro or
con.
DR.. Carns presented in his adj
dress a passing observation on
the recent presidential election,
which may be of general interest
Referring to Mr.. Bryan,s CAM
paign as "his last chance to land
in the White House as president
of the United States," he said:
"If he had Only been loyal to the
southern temperance sentiment,
his principal constituency, and
placed county option in the DEM
ocratic platform, he would have
reached his ambition" A good
many old-time Democrats will no
doubt disagree with DR.. Carn's
as the unterrified
Democracy has never beenparticu
larly favorable TO what they
choose to characterize as "sump-
tuary legislation"
An interesting statement in
DR.. Carn's report was his belief
that sufficient number of tenn.
perance voters were misled by
the Thomas letter to have resulted
in Governor Sheldon's election,
had they known the truth.

THOMAS HOWE IN JAIL
Arrested While Creating a Dstur.
bance at North Termination

Thomas Howe of North Bennington
was brought here about ] O'Clock this
morning and lodged in the county
jail. Howe is accused of creating
disturbance at the house where his
wife Is stopping and he was in such
a strenuous mood that considerable
difficulty was experienced in putting
him under arrest. Whether his con.
dition Is entirely due to alcoholism or
some mental difficulty is a question
but he put up a stiff fight before Dep
uty Sheriff Hurley. William Meagher
and Hiram Hall were able to load
him into wagon and transport him
TO jail. Judging from his appearance
he came off second best in the strug.
gle.
1t is alleged that some two weeks
ago while under the effects of a pro.
longed spell Howe attacked his wife
and broke her arm. He then disap-
peared and had not shown up in the
village but once until Friday night.
