AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
DR.. Faulk and ]. H. Devine Toss
Dollar Over Recount.
MUCH DISSATISFACTION EXISTS
Several Requests for Recount Are
Likely to he Made Before
Monday NiEht-Golfers
out on Links.

Or. +. w. Faux and J. II. Devine settled
the question who should ask for a recount
OF the ballots for the candidates for coun-
Gilman Of the Fourth ward yesterday morn
ing by tossing a dollar. 1t was agreed that
the one who won the toss should be ac-
counted the winner on the face OF the Of
flclal canvass but it was also understood
that the other would Immediately ask for
a recount OF tho ballots. On the face of
the returns DR.. Fauk and ]. II. Devine
were tied for the place. Fred Hefflinger
also has filed an affidavit stating that he
is confident that a recount of the ballots
will show that he Is the rightful candidate
for democratic member Of the council in
the Fourth ward.
II is expected that other requests for a
recount will be demanded before the limit
expires Monday night. The city clerk said
that he was not responsible for the men
who took oath and were given certificates
on the primary election day, which allowed
them to vote, being unregistered. He said
they might all be Illegal so FAR as the
facts in the case went; but they had all
taken the necessary oath and were in
divdually responsible. 1t is persistently
charged that many cases of fraud were
perpetrated in this manner and that many
of the applicants for certificates were non
residents. So far no one has been found
who is willing to shoulder the responsibility
Of an investigation.
It is fact that most Of the applicants
for certificates were men who professed
that they intended to vote the democratic
ticket. 1t is certain that most Of these
mems records will be examined by the
committees Of the political parties before
the day Of the spring election. The fact
that they swore in their vote on primary
day will not place them on record for the
election, but they will have TO appear be-
fore the board of registrars when 1t meets
to receive registrations revising the regular
lists Of last fall. If they do not so appear
they will be obliged to again swear in their
vote on election day.
N. Nj. Graham Returns.
Superintendent n. M. Graham returned
last night from Indianapolis where he has
been attending the national convention of
the Superintendents' and Principals asso-
citation of the United States. He was one
Of a delegation Of about twenty from Ne

fessor William M. Davidson of Omaha as
pI esident of the national association.
Mr.. Graham said he had been we'll enter
tained along with the other 1900 delegates.
He also visited number of schools which
we're an inspiration, Indianapolis is noted
for it's good schools. One of these was a
manual training school where over 1000
pupils were receiving instructions. An
other interesting school was that for back

fort is made to develop the best talent
which the children have.
Mr.. and Mrs. ToyvI Home.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Towl arrived from
Mexico Friday and will probably remain in
the United States permanently. Mr.. and
Mrs Towl say they have enjoyed the two
years visit to the land of "Inanana" and
"quien sabe." MIR. Towl said that he had
been in the habit of carrying a parasol to
defend himself against the heat and that
Nebraska appeared rather cool. He said
that the Americans who went to Mexico
thinking to turn the country upside down
In few years and shake the dollars out
of it were destined to failure. Business
ventures there are built on practically the
same footing as here. He said the attrac-
uOnS OF Jne country were numerous ana
not to be decried. The beauty Of the cn-
mate and the scenery is not surpassed.
