LOOKS LIKE "JIM" DAHLMAM
Leading Shaiienberger in Nebraska by
3,267 from Latest Returns
Thursday. 4

Omaha, Neb.-With returns avail
able from 1,104 out of the 1,645 pre-
cincts, Mayor Dahlman maintains his
lead over Gov. ShaNenberger for the
gubernatorial nomination on the Dem
ocratic ticket. These precincts give
Dahlman 22,045 and Sh~allenberger
1S,!277, a majority for the mayor Of
3,267.
The heavy gains for Gov. Shallen-
berger anticipated by his friends as a
result Of Thursdays returns failed to
ma~terialize, and it is apparent that
only a phenomenal reversal of figures
in the remainder of the precincts to
be heard from can defeat Dahlman for
the nomination.
Cady has conceded the Republican
nomination to his opponent, State Sen
ator Aldrich.
United States Senator Burkett and
Congressman Hitchcock have secured
the nomination for the s~enatorship by
heavy majorities.

CHILDREN NOT PAUPERS
Government Deports Children Father
Was Providing For

Hurley-The injustice which may be
done innocent deserving persons by
a strict enforcement of the immigra-
ton avs is illustrated by the case
of the children of William Pasco, an
Englishman, who about one and one
half years ago arrived in South Da-
kota, direct from England and took up
his residence at Hurley.
Pasco left behind him in England
his three motherless children, rang
ing in age from 6 to IA years. He is a
hard working man, and since his ar
rival in South Dakota has labored to
the best of his ability to save enough
money to send for his children. Some
weeks ago Pasco found that his saw
ings were sufficient, and he forward
ed them the money necessary for their
passage to New York, and tickets to
carry them from New York to Hurley.
Recently the children reached New
York, and there they were detained
by officials of tn immigration bureau,
on the ground that they were not
provided with sufficient money and
had little baggage, indicating that
Lley LllSuI UCCOulS OUJeClo VI SAdllly.
A telegram was sem to the father by
the immigration officials, and in reply
a wealthy farmer named Zellhofer,
living near Hurley, by whom Pasco
was employed, sen a telegram stating
that the children would be cared for.
The reply came that more reference
would have to be sent. Then John
Rundell and Joseph Watson, of the
Citizens bank of Parker, signed a bond
in behalf of the children and tele-
graphed the immigration officials at
New York city that the bond had been
sent to them by mail. But before the
bond could reach New York the i'm
officials placed the children
aboard another ship and sent them
back to England. The officials are Sc
verely criticised for not waiting until
the arrival OF the bond. 1t also is
charged that during the detention of
the children in New York, which ex-
tended over a period of about ten
days, they were fed chiefly on bread
and water and given very inferior
accommodations. The heartbroken
who had looked forward to be-
ing reunited with his motherless chill
dren, now has gone to work to once

KNEES.

Junction City, Kan.-Crawling into
camp on his hands and knees, and
bringing news that he and his compan-
ion had been struck by the Overland

lance was sent out and found the dead
body Of Jesse Moore of Battery F,

gethert about midnight. They heard
the train coming, but thought they had
plenty Of time to get out of the way.
When Lghtfoot regained conscious
ness he was across a 20-foot ditch and
could find no trace Of his companion.
He started for camp on his hands and
knees. He is in the hospital in a dan.
gerous condition.

by the Italian government. The town

The authorities express confidence
that the physicians now in charge of
the various infected districts will BE-
able to stay the progress of the dis

been high, those attacked in many
cases dying within a few hours. The

strong foothold the fear is general
that it will be difficult to check it.
The Red Cross is giving valuable

ILLINOIS CENTRAL MOVES ON
FORMER OFFICIALS-THREE
UNDER ARREST.
ALLEGED THEFTS ARE LARGE
Company Claims to Have Been De-
frauded Of $1,5oo,ooo by Repair Con-
Germs in connlvance with Men High
Up in the Service.

Chicago.-Three former officials of
the Illinois Central Railroad company
were arrested Friday In connection
with the huge frauds by means of
which the railroad claims to have beer
defrauded Of $500, 0O0. The men ar
rested were Frank B. Hartman, for
mer general manager OF the road;
Charles l.. Ewing, former manager of
lines north Of the Ohio river; John K.
Taylor, formerly general storekeeper
Of the road.
h warrants were sworn to by
President Harahan of the railroad
company concerned. They charge the
three men with conspiracy to cheat
and defraud the railroad by false pre-
lenses and with operating a confidence
game. Hartman and Ewing were TAX.
en- to the Harrison street police sta
ton. Their bonds of $4,000 each were
signed by professional bondsmen.
The allegations in the socalled graft
case are among the most sensational
in which high officials OF a great cor
poration have been named. The in
v~estigatien began g year ago.
1t reached a crisis last spring when
President Harahan began actions to
sums said to aggregate more
than $1,000, 900 alleged to have been
secured by car repair companies in
connivance with high officials of the
road. Hartman, Ewing, Taylor and a
large number of others of lesser mag
nitude resigned their positions. Much
OF the money is said to have been re.
paid privately.
The name of Ira G. Brown, vice
president of the road, who resigned to
become president of the Monon and
who was found dead recently at his
home with a bullet wound in his
breast, was brought into the sandal.
Murray Nelson, Jr., attorney for the
Illinois Central, stated Friday that
Rawn's death headed off warrants
which would have been issued for him.

PRESIDENT IS DEAD
PEDRO MONTT OF CHILE EXPIRES
ON ARRIVING IN LON
DON
DEMISE DUE TO HEART PANGS
Distinguished South American Had
Landed from New York In Morning
DipIo matte Career.

London.-President Mont of Chile
died here Tuesday. He arrived at
Bremen on the steamship Kaiser VIII
helm de Crosse Tuesday morning. His
death occurred at 1880 o'clock Tues
day night. 1t was due to a recurrence
of heart failure, following an attack
OF angina pectoris. .a
Pedro Montt became president of
Chile on September IS, 1906, and his
term Of office extended to 1911. He
succeeded German Riesco as chief eX-
ecutive. He was elected by an enor-
nous majority and was supported by
a really national party.
Senior Mont was a member Of one
for his father, Manuel Montt, was
president of the Chilean republic from
1851 to 1861. AT various times Pedro
Mont was speaker of the chamber Of
deputies, a senator, a counselor of
state, and during a brief but trying Pc
riod was minister at Washington.
In all the offices he held Senior
Montt was distinguished for his con-
c~il!a:ory and well defined policy. lie
was the champion of a sound financial
system and waged u~nceasing wal
against the policy of prodigal expendi
lures.
In debate on foreign policies, his
voice was raised in favor of a peace
full and honorable settlement of diff
ficulties. In the years between 1889
and 1902, when the frontier dispute
with the Argentine republic brought
Chile near to war, when practically
everyone was ready and waiting the
order to march, Senior Montt untiring-
ly poured oil on the troubled waters.
To him was given much of the credit
for the happy result finally secured.

There has been an annoying delay
IN the adjustment of the lands in the
forest reserve of the Black Hills
through which the state is to surren-
der It's school sections in that region
for other lands of equal extent and
value. Commissioner Dokken, having
inaugurated the movement and Sc
cured the exchange contract, is nat
urally anxious to close the affair dur
ing his term of Office. There has been
a passage of criticism between the
state and federal officials as to the
cause of the delay, n during tfe
week Governor Vessey and Comm1s-
sioner Dokken met the forester in the
field and arrived at an understanding
which, it is believed, will result in
completing the transfer before winter.
A reaction of sentiment against
Colonel Roosevelt is being studiously
cultivated in the state, and the pub
lie is being discouraged against 60
ing into Sioux Falls to greet him on
September 8, in a line of newspapers
which have never given him support
except when compelled to do so as a
matter Of political expediency. The
argument now is that he is a has
been" and that his policies have
wrought no practical results. h re-
ception he receives will be taken as a
measure of his popularity in South Da-
kota and a small attendance will be
taken with great satisfaction by the
reactionary element.
