ernor and Albert Fitch Of Central City
for state treasurer. Several days ago
T. NJ. Birmingham Of Fender filed rs

titions from twenty-five republicans
and twenty-five populists SO his name
will 60 on three tickets az a candidate
for the place that Hitchcock and Met
calfe are striving for. John d. Stod-
dard Of Republican City has filed as
prohibition candidate in the Fifth dis
trict.
It has been customary for the pro-
hibitionists to have full state ticket

orally thought the party would stay
out Of the fight in order not to en-
barrass candidates Of either Of the
old parties who may stand for county

Raising the Dues.

Raising the scale Of dues paid BY
members was the means adopted by
the Nebraska postmasters' association
at Lincoln last week to take care OF
q threatened 5000 deficit In its treas
ury. Officers of the association laid
before the convention at its final ses-
sion the fact that expenses had been
SO heavy as to make necessary some
provision for increasing the income in
future. The method proposed for do
ing this was to abolish the old fiat
rate Of 81 annual dues for all postmas-
tiers Of whatever grade. with so cents
added for initiation fee. and substi-
tute a sliding scale. After a lengthy
discussion the dues were fixed as fol-
lows:
For postmasters Of first class Offices.
$40: second class. s.: third class. 81;
fourth class. 81.
