LINCOLN. Feb. 1.-(Special.) lit became
public property today why Mayor Dahl
man OF Omaha is so sure of defeating Gov
ernor Shallenberger for the democratic
nomination for governor. So sure are
friends Of the mayor that he will secure
the nomination for governor D. " 5hIh1sIkss
the nomination that they are claiming
now that in Lincoln Dahlman will get a
larger vote than will Shallenberger.
The assurance Of these friends is based
on the fact that many foreigners will take
out their first naturalization papers i'm
time to vote in the coming primary Those
who have this matter in charge say there
are 1900 foreigners here who have not yet
taken out first papers and that they will
take them out this year in time to vote for
the Omaha mayor and almost a man
they are counted on to be for him.
Not only are Dahlman's friends preparing
to secure the big foreign vote in the pri-
mary here in Lincoln, but in every town
in Nebraska where there are many for
elgners they are being organized to help
out the Omaha mayor.
Loss of Felix Newton.
Heretofore the democratic committee of
Lincoln has secured many of the foreign
vote for its machine candidate for the nom

committee is without it's organizer Felix
Newton attends to this work for the DEM
ocratic committee because he is a Russian.
born In Russia, and he speaks practically
every language represented by the voters
of Lincoln. and he has refused this year to
help organize the city for Shallenberger.
Several papers published exclusively for
the foreign voters of Nebraska have taken
up the trouble between Superintendent
Woodard of the Lincoln asylum and they
are opposing Governor shellenberger.
Dahlman spoke at Aurora last Saturday
and his speech In the afternoon, according
to party from Lincoln who heard him
could not have been more temperate. So
with Dahlmans conservative speeches and
his organization, his friends say he does
not have to come to Lincoln and crook the
knee to the governor and call him boss"
senator Klein Reports.
Senator Klein Of Gage county, who suf-
fered severe injuries last winter by being
blown against a tree while on the road to
the state house, called on the governor this
morning, but what he said to his excellency

VINO admitted killing deer. The animal
was killed November is, and since that
%
ton counties have been busy on the case
without success, 80 Boehler hied himself
to Pender few days ago and turned the
trick.
Jack Webb was arrested and pleaded
guilty. He lives in Cunning county, but
the crime was committed six miles from
Fender From the story Boehler brought
back the der was sighted coming down the
country road which runs north of Bee
mer, One farmer telephoned to another
and several took shots at the little buck
as he passed until he was seen by Jack
Webb and Ed Nonecker. The two, so
Boehler discovered. both shot at the same
time and the deer was killed. Then each
claimed the honor of having fired the !
fatal shot Both went to town and the |
local paper published stories about it. The
meat was divided among the friends of |
the men. Then someone discovered the
law had been violated and the local depu-
ties were unable to get sufficient evidence
to secure conviction. Boehler called on |
Webb and the latter pleaded guilty and |
was fined 800.
Wants Cheaper Rate.

to order the Burlington rail- |
road to install the rate of s. a car for !

said he had such rate for years but that |
a few years ago Nthe railroad cut out this |
special rate and installed a rate of * cents |
per 100 pounds. The hearing was con-
tinued until February 49, in order that |
Mr. Kendall might procure some of his |
bills under the old rate.
Miles VIII Case Again.
The Miles will case is being argued in
the supreme court, having been started |
this morning. John L. Webster spoke for |
