Other Valuable Prizes to be Award
ed TO the Successful Candidates.
THE REPUBLICAN" AND OAK
LAND MERCHANTS GIVE PRIZES
Read the Announcement and PartiCu-
lars on Seventh Page of this
Issue, and get in the Game.

The Republican this week inaugu-
rates the greatest voting contest ever
held in this section of the state, and
one which we believe will arouse a
great deal of interest.
This contest will extend over a period
of about 80 days, and at the close of the
contest some lady in Oakland or vicinity
will be the proud possessor of hand
some $500 piano.
On page seven of this issue will be
found full explanation of the contest,
with the rules that govern it, and list
of beautiful and useful auxiliary prizes
which will be given by the progressive
merchants of the town. There are a
great number of prizes, besides the
piano, any one of which will be worth
winning, and every contestant who gets
out and makes any kind of hustle will
be sure of winning a handsome prize,
even if she does not win the piano.
This contest is put on under the aus
pices of the Publishers Music Company
of Chicago, who will have charge of the
arrangements. This company makes a
business of conducting these popular
voting contests and at present has a
number of them under way in this and
other states.
Some popular lady will have beauti-
full piano as the result of this contest,
and a number of others will have beau
tiful prizes of various kinds.

inspect the offerings of the merchants,
and learn how you may secure votes for
yourself or your friend.

serving lady to win a handsome piano
or some of the other valuable prizes

HASKELL LOSES
FIRST ROUND
$1,000 of Half Million-DolIar Suit
Against Hearst Gone-Insut-
ficlent Facts.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. l5.-Former Gov
ernor Charles ~ Haskell Saturday in
federal court in Omaha lost 100000
of his half million dollar slander and
libel suit against William Randolph
Hearst of the Hearst newspapers.
Judge Munger sustained Hearst's de-
murrer to Haskell's first cause of ac-
tion, which was for 81 900, 600 and was
based on a speech delivered by Mr..
Hearst at Memphis on September 19,
1908, during the heat of the campaign
for the presidency There yet remains
four counts of 100000 each for SLAM
der in a speech at Columbus, Ohio, and
for three newspaper articles printed
in the Hearst papers.
The demurrer was taken on the
ground that the court did not allege
facts sufficient to constitute a cause Of
action, the remarks charged to Mr..
Hearst not being slanderous even if
made as charged.
In addition to sustaining the demur-
rer Judge Munger also sustained
Hearst's motion to require Haskell to
amend his petition for damages by set
ting out the individual names of the
newspapers in which the alleged libel
Gus articles were published. This
amended petition will be filed at once
by Haskell's attorneys The amended
answer will follow and a hearing on
the merits of the case will be held
within sixty days.
The Haskell suits were brought in

purpose OF naming eleven delegates to
a state conference Of the party which

now conceded by the leaders OF both
republican and democratic parties as
being entitled to at least one of the
state delegates to the national con,

MIXED WITH RichESoh.
Wayne Pastor Knew Self.Confesseo
Murderer In William Jewel
ColIeQe.

Wayne, Neb. Jan. 15.--The fact that
the names resemble, that they attend
ed school together and that Kansas
City paper confused the men with one
another, have entangled the life OF
the Rev. B. p. Richardson OF Wayne
with that of the Rev. Clarence Richie.
son, the Cambridge Mass, murderer
OF Avis Linnell, in a manner annoy
ing to the Wayne pastor. The Rev.
B. p. Richardson of Wayne was per-
sonally acquainted with Richeson
while they attended William Jewel
college in Missouri. The similarity
OF the names and the fact that both
were known in ministerial circles in
Missouri caused the Kansas City pa.
per to confuse the two men. The re-
porter traced Richardson's career and
published statement that caused
Richardson to receive many letters of
inquiry. The paper rectified it's mis-
take in an elaborate explanation.
The Rev. Mr.. Richardson was in
William Jewell college, graduating in
1906, while the murderer OF Avis Lin
nell was a junior. Mr.. Richardson
says that they roomed and boarded
at the same place for many months
and neither he nor any one else ever
seemed to become acquainted with
Richeson, who was strange, retiring
man, often refusing to speak for a
week at time. During Richeson's
senior year in college, it is said he
was expelled for cheating in an ex-
animation in Greek. Richeson became
infatuated with a girl in the school
town and would not cease his atten-
tions, it is alleged, until force was
used against him. He was a good
looking fellow and was often invited
into high society, despite his frequent
fits of moroseness.
Mr.. Richardson says he does not
understand how Richeson became a
Baptist minister in good standing af-
ter expulsion from Baptist theolog.
ical school.
