LINCOLN. Nov. 26.-CSpeciaL)-It is ev-
ident that those who desire the removal
from office OF Mayor Dahlman and mem
beers OF the Board OF Fire and Police Com
missioners OF Omaha are not satisfied with
the hearing granted the complainants ly
the governor, but are attempting to in
fuence the governor by public sentiment.
Letters In great number have been ie-
ceived by the governor, both from Omaha
and elsewhere, asking for his favorable
action on the application to remove the
Officers mentioned, and inasmuch as it IS
unusual for outsiders to try to influence
a decision Of a court or Judge by letter It
looks as II an organized effort had been
made to put the Omaha officials in bad
with his excellency.
So far as known publicly around the
state house this is the second case OF the
Eihd around here. at least in recent years.
The other case was where an effort was
made by letter TO Influence a decision In
a recent important case pending in court.
Red Liquor Day.
Thanksgiving was a great day for Have
lock ana Lincoln, and the Traction com
pany Being a holiday, those desiring
hnuor accompaniment to their turkey took
NE time to go to the shop town for their
supplies, rather than use the Bookkeeping
stuff they buy here. SO the Traction com
pany put on a flfteen-minute service and
cars were so numerous on the Havelock
line that It looked Ike a continuous pro-
tcession. As thirsty Lincolnltes left the car
at the loup on Tenth street. with their well
filled suitcases, their places were at once
taken by parties gaily swinging their
empty cases enroute to the Joy fountain.
Those who noticed events say the travel
was the heaviest ever on the Havelock line.

Secretary Graham Of tire defunct nor
NAL board has sent to Secretary Ludden
OF the regular board the proposals of the
towns Of Crawford and Gordon for the
new normal school to be located by the

with the new board. while Alliance filed
It's proposal with the old board. SO far
these three towns are the only towns in
