Governors Power
is Exaggerated
Under Sackett Law He Can Only Ger
tify Cases of Neglect of Duty to
Attorney General.
CFrom a staff Correspondent }

LINCOLN. Nov. 2s.-Cspeeial. )-From the
tone OF the letters being received by Gov
ernor shallenberger asking him to remove
Mayor DahlmRn and the members Of the
Omaha police board II is very evident that
the writers have an exaggerated idea of
the governors authority In the case now
pending.
The governor cannot remove Mayor
Dahlman, so It was said in the executive
office today and neither can he remove
the police board. II is the duty OF the
governor under the charges filed, should II
be shown that the mayor and police board
have neglected to enforce the law, willfully
and negligently, to simply certify that fact
to the attorney general and authorize him
to bring quo warranto proceedings TO oust
them. Then It will be a matter for the
courts to decide.
In the meantime the governor has been
informed that the first two cases brought
by the Antl-Saloon league against saloon
keepers OF Omaha failed and the liquor
dealers were discharged.

RELEASE Or TRAMPS
ORDERED BY JUDGE

Ia test case bIculhC before Judge
flaming, OF TowaaGa. an order was
made for the release Of two tramps
who had been convicted OF vagranoy
before justice of the peace of Sayre
and sentenced to ten days in Jail. One
of the reasons assigned for the release
of the prisoners. and which was sus-
tanned by the court, is that the law
provides for vagrancy the sentence
shall be not less than thirty nor more
than sixty days at hard labor, and
therefore ten days sentence in the
county Jail without hard labor will
not stand. In view of the courts de
cision the magistrates of Sayre are
somewhat undecided as to what TO do
with prisoners brought before them
for vagrancy aud illegal train riding.
Even though they are sentenced TO
thirty or sixty DAYS the sheriff claims
he has no way in which TO employ
them ana the attorneys are not certain
that they can be sent TO the ooanty
home.

SENDS BULLET
INTO HIS BRAIN

\ sad case of suicide occurred near
DeWitt's park yesterday afternoon, the
victim of the self-intiicted wound be-
ing Frank Yordy of Trevorton, who
was attending the Arl-Uounty Farm

The shocking affair took place short

over the festivities. The facts as far
as learned are as follows:
Yordy is a married man about 27
years of age. His wife is sister of
Mrs. Richard W. Snyder, this city,
and for some time past has been visit
ing the latter at her home on West
Mahoning street. Yesterday Mrs.
Yordy attended the Tri.County picnic
and while there she met her husband
1t was less than ten minutes after
having a conversation with his wife
that the man shot himself.
The rash act was committed on
Avenue d about four hundred feet
north of Shannon's greenhouse. The
shot was distinctly heard in the park.
Joseph Reed, who lives near the green
house and heard the shot, was one of
the first to reach the spot He was
Joined by a farmer, who happened
along the road at the moment of the
tragedy. In a few minutes there was
quite crowd on the spot made up
mostly of persons from the park, who
had heard the report of the pistol
An examination revealed that the
man had shot himself twice, once in
the left side below the heart and again

was the latter wound that was essent-
tally fatal, as the brain substance seem
ed oozing out Of the wound, 1t is al
together probable that the man, bent
on elf-destTuction, first sent bullet
into his side, but fearing that it would
not accomplish its purposel decided to
make death certain by shooting him

Justice of the Peace L. W. Young

verdict will he rendered.
Undertaken George W. Roat took
the remains in charge. At the under
taking rooms of the latter last evening
the body was viewed by Richard W.
Snyder, of this city, who fully iden-
titled it as that of his brother.in.l law,

DROUGHT BROKEN
AlL-NICHT RAIN

The prolonged drought, the most
severe since 1880, was etTeotuslly brok
en- by rain which continued from
8 80 o'clock Monday night until day.
light Tuesday morning. The rain was
general.
The refreshing effect was not only
apparent on vegetation bat also on
humanity, whose spirits took swift
rebound from the discouragement and
depression caused by the drought to
the height OF hopefulness and good
spirits. The farmers in market Tues
day morning were happy lot. To
them the rain meant something more
than the mere settling OF the dust and
the bringing about of conditions more
conducive to personal comfort To the
farmers the rain is matter OF dollars
and cents, as it came in the nick of
time TO rescue several of the crops
that seemed doomed to destruction.
II is surprising how much good the
rain really did on the farms. a nun
ber of market people were heard to eX.

agreed that the corn will be enormous,

spired to retard the growth OF this
