ress could be made in the prosecution Of
the offenders"
The United States marshal was T. L.
Mathews, and attorney, Irving f. Baxter,
both of Omaha.
And citing some of the results Of the
prosecution the president directs attention
to the fact that two OF tine largest cattle
men, Bartlett Richards and w. G. Com
stock, were convicted and sentenced to a
fine of $1,5OO each and prison term of twelve
months. 1t was in connection with the
cases of these men that Mr.. Mathews lost
his position.
Charles r. Stewart, who lives in Council
Bluffs. is prominent in society there and
in Omaha, and has his wholesale business
house in Omaha, comes in for considerable
attention by the president.
Compliments to Stewart.
The message states regarding Mr.. Stew
art:
I'm his final proof he swore that he ana
his family had resided on the lands in
Mcpherson county (Which were within his
unlawful enclosure), when az n matter Of
fact his family has at all times resided
in Council Bluffs, Ia. He IL engaged in
the wholesale grocery business, his store
being located in Omaha in the Wholesale
district there. He IL reputsd to be quite
wealthy. Stewards attorneys are Harl @
FINLEY OF Council Bluffs, who are also
the attorneys at that place for the Omaha
g Council Bluffs Street Railway company,
in which company Harl holds considerable
stock.
HE lie also represented In Omaha by w.
]. Council, one Of the attorneys for the
same company.
Stewart Is also represented in his per-
jury case by Bill aurley OF Omaha, who
at one time was quite closely connected
in a political way with the Union Pacific
Railway company"
The president then quotes the United
States attorney at Omaha as saying;
There are three cases against Stewart
one for fencing, one conspiracy, one per
jury-all good cases and chances of con
viCtion."

CITIES OBJECT TO REGISTRATION

Expense OF Proposed Plan Given as
this Renson.
HASTINGS. Neb.. Jan. 4.-(Special)-
on the ground of economy alone. a number
Of cities in Nebraska arc preparing to OPP
pose the effort on behalf of Hastings fer
the enactment of a law providing an ade-
quate method Of registration for elections
in cities of between 1000 and 25,0OO0 popu-
lation.
The proposed legislation was discussed
at a meeting OF city attorneys in Lincoln
last week and the expressions. though gem
orally favorable as to the purpose of the
bill. indicated an opposition on account
of the slight increase in expense that
would result from adopting the registration
plan of Omaha and Lincoln.
Registration of all voters is not required
in cities OF less than 5000 population
There is an annual period. however. for the
registration of new voters and those who
have moved from one ward to another.
BY this operation the registration list is
always inadequate and incorrect. City
Clerk Baton and City Attorney Button,
who have studied the registration prob
lem seriously during the last few years,
recently determined to ask for an enact
ment that would make the registration law
of Omaha and Lincoln apply in the cities
of this class. This would require an an
nual registration of all voters and regis
tration boards would sit for three differ
ent days in each ward.
