APPEAL TO THE VOTERS
LINCOLN COUNTY.
OP
In tue conduct ot tins campaign
in the interest of the republican
county ticket, we have eschewed
personalities and have confined our
discussions to the public records of
the two parties who are seeking
the votes of the people.
We have presented to the people
the facts as they appear of record.
and we believe they bear us out in
the statement that the government
which the populist? have given us
in this county has been to draw it
mildly, the most expensive ever
given to the county by any part'.
The election of the populist tick
et means the- endorsement and
continuation of the extravagam
and illegal methods that have pre
vailed during the past five years.
The men composing the republi
can ticket are pledged to economy
and lawful methods in the conduct
of affairs of the county. The char
acter of each and every one of them
is an earnest that they will fulfill
this pledge to the letter. As citi
zens or Lincoin county jtou nave a
common interest in the furtherance
of good government, in a return to
the practice of economy in the
county government, in a return to
legal methods in the conduct of its
affairs that is above and beyond
mere partisanship.
We make an earnest appeal to
ever' tax-payer and voter ot this
county who has the best interests
of the county at heart to cast his
vote for the republican county tic
ket to the end that the county may
be redeemed from the misrule that
has prevailed. And we pledge you
that the republican candidates
when installed into otlice will con
duct the affairs of the county, not
in the interests ot any party, but
in the interests of the whole
people. The Tribune.
HOW TO MARK YOUR BALLOT.
The new Australian ballot which
will be used for the first time this
year, contains six separate tickets
printed side by side.
The republican ticket at the left
side of the ballot, the populist next,
then the democrat, etc. At the
head of each ticket is the name of
the party and the party emblem.
Under the emblem is a circle. In
voting this ballot the voter should
put a cross in the circle under the
emblem representing his party
principle. This would be counted
as a vote for every candidate whose
name appears under such emblem.
But if the voter desires to vote for
some candidate whose name is not
under the emblem of his party, he
must also place a cross in the
square at the right of such candi
date's name, and not make any
other mark on the ballot.
Wiggle all he may, Mr. Cheyney
cannot get out from under the
proof furnished by The Tribune
that the floating indebtedness of
the county has increased over
twenty thousand dollars under
populist rule. The records show
it; the records prove it; and Mr.
Cheyney does not and cannot dis
prove it. Think of it tax-payers,
an increase in the floating indeb
tedness of over twenty thousand
dollars in less than five years.
The populist party, howls Mr.
Cheyney, is not indebted to the
democrats for any of its success in
Lincoln county. In other words Mr.
Cheyney would rather have the pop
ulist ticket go down to defeat 'than
to receive the support of the demo
crats, who he says, are so igncTrant
that they cannot tell why they are
democrats.

THE ADMISSIONS OP CHEYNEY.
The Era in its last issue before
election is compelled to admit the
truth of every count in the indict
ment brought by The Tribune
against the populist ring.
First, that the last five years o
populist county government cos
the tax-payers $30,393.35 more than
a like period of republican control.
Second, that the floating indebt
edness ot .Lincoln county increased
$20,554. dunner the past four
years.
Third, that the unpaid interest
bearing warrants of the county have
increased to $41,533.49.
Fourth, that the increase in the
1S96 levy made by order of the pop
ulist board caused an increased tax
ation on the people of $16,273.50 in
that year and that not a dollar of
that increase was paid on railroad
or telegraph Hues.
Fifth, that the county commis
sioners during the past tour years
had illegally levied in the bridge
fund $21,553.88 in excess of the re
quiremeut of that fund, and admits
that all of this excess except
$4,775.90 of the 1896 levy has al
ready been unlawfully transferred
into the general fund, but does not
deny that even this too will be so
transferred.
Sixth, that the populist commis
sioners have, contrary to law, paid
thousands of dollars of costs in
misdemeanor cases out of the coun-
ty general fund.
Seventh, that Butler Buchanan
will be unable at the end of his
term to turn over to his successor
the principal of the county funds
which have come into his hands, to
say nothing about the interest.
Eight, that the tax-pa) era of the
county have been robbed ot thous
ands of dollars on the county pub
lishing by the failure of the popu
list commissioners to award the
work to the lowest bidder.
Ninth, that the county
govern-
ment under populist rule has been
run in the interest of the populist
ring and not in the interest of the
whole people.
In regard to our showing that
the five years of populist rule, 1893
to 1897, cost the tax-payers of Lin
coin county for the expenses of
countj7 government $80,393.35 more
than the period of 18S3 to 1887,
when the republicans were in con
trol, the Era admits the abso
lute correctness of the Tribune's
figures for the respective periods
but asserts that during the latter
period there was a proportionate
greater population.
Cheyney is not to blame lor the
mistake. But the people know
that while there has been a shift
ing of the population from the up
lands to the yalley there has been
very little change in the aggregate
population.
In our comparison, desiring to be
fair in our comparison, we only
used the portion of the tax levy
that is in the discretion of the com
missioners. But Cheyney, in order to make a
favorable comparison for his clients,
in comparing the taxes paid, 1887
to 1891 with 1892 to 1893, includes
with the 15 mills levied, the
amount levied to pay the principal
and interest on bonds voted by the
people. During the former period
we were paying off the principal
and interest on the court house and
South Platte bridge bonds, matters
the commissioners had no control
of. In our comparisons we include
the taxes levied by the commis
sioners to pay the current expenses
of the county and that is the only
fair comparison.
The Era calls attention to the
fact that the county clerk, whose
duty it is to secure the printing of
the election ballots, let the contract
to the State Journal Company be
cause its bid was lower than The
Tribune's and commends the clerk
for so doinsr. This is one proposi
tion on which The Tribune will
agree with the Era. It is the prin
ciple for which The Tribune has
been contending for the past six
years of populism, and if the popu
list county commissioners had been
as nonest and looked out lor the
interest of the county as Clerk Bur
ritt has, they would have saved
enough on the county printing and
publishing during the past six
years to make a material reduction
in the floating debt of the county.
$119,602.40
was the cost of county government
for five years under republican ad
ministration. $199,995.75
was the cost of county government
for live years under populist con
trol. $80,393.35
shows the difference in favor of re
publican rule. Voters, is it not
easy to see which party transacts
the business of the county in an
economical manner? "Turn the
rascals out" next Tuesday.
The populists are on the run;
keep after them until the polls
close next Tuesday evening.

ELEVEN FEVER VICTIMS IN A DAY
Worst Day of the Yellow Fever Situation
at Xciv Orleans.
New Orleans, Oct. 26. Numerically
yesterdaj" has been the worst day of the
fever situation here. As early as 7
o'clock last evening the score at the
board of health showed a total of 57
new cases and there had then been
deaths to the number of 11. Hereto
tore the Inchest nnmber ot deaths in a
single day has been nine. Unfortu
nately there continues to be concealment
of cases here, fatalities occur because
medical attention is not called in and
the masses for the time being are in a
revolutionary mood because of the en
forcement of the system of quarantine,
ana are resorting to every means in
their power to put obstacles in the way
of the constituted authorities. It is
generally agreed here that the house
quarantine is not accomplishing the
results expected.
Board of health report: Cases of
yellow fever Monday, 57; deaths, 11;
total cases of yellow fever to date, 1,211 ;
total deaths from yellow fever to date,
1SS; total cases absolutely recovered,
622 ; total cases under treatment, 451.
FORT SHERIDAN SCANDAL.
Captain Lovering Admits Charges Made
by Private Hammond.
CmcAGO.Oct. 23. Private Hammond,
gaunt and thin and showing plainly the
effects of his 14 days' imprisonment on
i bread and water diet in the guard
house at Port Sheridan, appeared be
fore a court of his superior officers to
day and told them of the circumstances
of his disobedience of the orders of Cap
tain Lovering and of the subsequent
drastic measures taken by that official
to enforce his demands.
Captain Lovering was then called.
He made no attempt to deny any of the
accusing witness' statements. He ad
mitted that by his orders Hammond
had been dragged from the guardhouse
and he also admitted that he had struck
the soldier aud pricked him with his
sword. None of this treatment. Cap
tain Lovering said, had injured Ham
mond in the least, as was proven by the
surgeon's report, and the methods used
were, in his opinion, necessary for the
discipline of the army. The court then
adjourned until tomorrow.
Verdict of Jury.
Chicago, Oct. 22. The grey light of
a cool autumn morning straggled
through the big windows of Judge Tut
hill's court yesterday as Adolph L. Luet
gert, the man who has been on trial for
the charge of murdering his wife and
boiling her body in a vat, heard from
the foromau of the 12 men, who have
been considering his case for the past
66 hours, the words, ""We arc unable to
agree upon a verdict." Imperturable
as ever, evincing no joy at the words,
the wonderful nerve of the defendant
was with hii- to the end. He stood up
and, with only a good natured smile on
his swarthy face, shook hands with his
sou Arnold, his counsel and business
partner, "William Charles, and in less
than five minutes was led back to jail,
the jury dismissed and the great trial
was over.
The 12 men were divided as follows :
For conviction and the death penalty
Heickhold, Boyd,Bibby, Mahoney, Beh
miller, Eosnicr, Shaw, Frauzen and
Fowler. For acquittal Harlev, Hqla
bird aud Barber.
Hot Campaign In Ohio.
Cincinnati, Oct. 24. The political
campaign in Ohio set out with the lines
strongly drawn on the national issues
of the gold standard and the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, 16 to 1.
Later, when the Republicans announced
Mark Hauna for the senate the Demo
crats turned all their gnus on him.
Now the silver fight is to be resumed
with William J. Bryan as chief speaker.
The real objective point after all was
the election of a legislature that will
choose a U. ited States senator. The
work of boll parties is in doubtful
legislative districts. The campaign all
next week will be hot on both sides.

Near Garrisons Station Exact Cause ot
Catastrophe 3Iay Never lis Known.
Garrisons, N. Y., Oct. 26. From
the sleep that means refreshment and
rest to the et r lal sleep that knows no
waking, plunged in the twinkling of an
eye Sunday morning, 19 sonls, men.wo
men and children. Into the slimy bed
of the Hudson river, a traiu, laden with
slumbering humanitj, ploughed, drag
giug through the waters the passengers
There was nothing to presage the tern
ble accident which so suddenly deprived
these unfortunates of life.
It is known that it was a trifle foggy
and that the track was not visible, but
if there was any break in the lines of
steel it must have been of very recent
happening, for only an hour befo r
here had passed over it a heavy pas-
eenger traiu.laden with human freight.
Neither is an explanation ready. All is
conjecture. The section of road was
supposed to be the very best on the en
tire division. There was a heavy re
taining wall all along the bank, and
while the tide, was high, it was not
unprecedented. "What seems to have
happened was that underneath the
tracks and ties the heavy wall had
given away and when the great weight
of the eugino struck the unsupported
tracks it went crashing through the
rest of the wall and tipped over into
the river.
It was tliree o'clock before the derrick
and hoisting engine could raise the com
bmation cars consisting of the smoking
and baggage compartments to such a
position that the top of it was out of
the water. Slowly the big load began
to rise and iu a few minutes it had been
turned over so that the windows were
clear of the water. The body of a man
came out or a window as the car was
being brought to the shore. A boat
was near b- and the oarsmen secured
the body. It was the first lifeless form
of any of the passengers to be rescued
A passenger coach without seats was
close at hand, and the body was carried
thither, and deposited on the floor. The
man was about ou years or age. Mis
head was partly bald and a bushy beard
tinged with gray covered his face. He
was dressed in cheap clothes and his
shoes were cheap ones. A G. A. R.
badge was fastened to the breast of his
vest. The busy rescuers did not have
time then to make any inqniry as to
who he was but simply tore off a slip of
paper, wrote "Body No. 1" and pinned
it on his coat and left him to look for
others. By the lime they had returned
the derrick had drawn the car to the
bank and the work of getting the pas
sengers who had come to an uutimely
end, was under way. The searchers
were only able to find eight Chinamen,
and they were also carried to the
morgue car. They were laid in a row
numbered and wre ready for identifi
cation.

SPAIN MAKES REPLY.
FORMAL PROTEST VILL BE MADE
AGAINST FILIBUSTERING.
It Clearly Intimates That Spain Cannot
Contiuuo the Forbearance Shown by
Former Premier Calls Upon American
Government to Fulfill Treaties.
Washington', Oct. 28. The event o:
the day yesterday at the state depart
ment was the receipt of the long ex
pected cablegram from United States
Minister Woodford at Madrid, trans
mitting the answer of the Spanish gov
ernment to his representations in tne
interest of iwane in Cuba. This mes
sage began to come in installments at
o'clock Tuesday night and it was nearly
noon before it was all in.
It may be, it is true, regarded as in
sufficient to meet the issue presented
by Mr. "Woodford in his note, but offi
cials of the state department say that in
view of what has already been accom
plished by the new Spanish ministry
and cabinet in forming a basis in Cuba,
in removing Weyler, and in projecting
what appears to be a liberal measure of
autonomy, our government will cer
tainly rest, at least until cougross as
Eembles, and afford the new Spanish
government time to carry out its plaus
Madrid, Oct. 26. A government
note against filibustering will be handed
to United States Minister "Woodford to
day. According to a dispatch from
Havana Lieutenant-General "Weyler has
ordered the abandonment of demonstra
tions that were preparing in his favor.
Mrs. "Woodford, wife of the minister.
has arrived here. General "Woodford
has not yet taken an official residence
but will continue to ocenpy apartments
at the Hotel De Lome.
There is no doubt that the govern
ment's reply will represent the deep
feeling of the nation. The note dwells
at length on filibustering aud other ma
terial and moral assistance which has
chiefly contributed to the rise and dura
tion of the rebellion, and which has
damaged American interests.
It clearly intimates that Spain cannot
continue the forbearance shown by
Senor Canovas Del Castillo and Duke
of Tetuan during the past two years
and that she now calls upon the Ameri
can government "to fulfill more strictly
in the future the rules and duties of in
ternational law" because "the success
of the new home rule policy and the
speedy pacification of Cuba chiefly de
pend upon tho conduct of the United
States."
London", Oct. 2o. The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says :
'The Spanish press una uimously sup
ports the attitude of the government,
which it calls eminently sober and dig
nified, but the impression is that the
controversy with the United States has
reached a crucial stage which may be a
preclude to a rupturo.
STORY OF WdLCOTT'S MISSION.
Tlritish Government Will Not Consent to
Free Coinage.
London', Oct. 24. The correspon
dence in regard to the bimetallic pro
posals of the United States monetary
commission was issued by the -British
foreign office last evening. The follow
ing account of the negotiations is taken
from the official publication :
On the invitation of the British pre
mier Senator "Wolcott explained that
the object of the mission was to ascer
tain in advance of an international con
ference the views of the governments
and the envoys had determined to as
certain the views of the French, British
and German governments on the mat
ter of reaching an international bime
tallic agreement. They had beeu to
France whero they reached a complete
and satisfactorv understanding with
the French government, and the envoys
would have the co-operation in this
matter of the French ambassador in
London.
The meeting then closed and it was
understood by the parties that the ab
sence ot the rench ambassador Irom
the proceedings should be regarded as
informal and a second conference was
held on tho 15th, at which, in addition
to those already mentioned, the French
ambassador and M. Geoffrey, the coun
cillor of the French embassy, were
present.
The French ambassador was invited
to declare the position of tho French
government and he said France was
ready to reopen her mints to tho free
coinage of silver if tho commercial na
tions adopted the same course and ad
vocated at great length the ratio of
151.. But, he explained, France would-
not consider the reopening of the mints
of Indiaalone as being sufficient guar
antee to pesanit the French government
to reopen the French mints to the free
coinage of silver.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach then defi
nitely announced that Great Britain
would not agree to open the English
mints to the unlimited coinage of silver.

TRAINS STALLED AT CHEYENNE,
Jtotary Plo- Sent Out From Omaha ljy
Uuiou Pacific to Open Up the Koari.
Omaha, Oct. 28. Last night .reports
began to come in of a blizzard raging
in western Nebraska, the like of which
had not been seen since the memorable
winter of '88.
People were surprised to learn that
freight traffic between North Platte
and Cheyenne had been suspended ow-;
mg to the drifts on the tracks, and that
it was impossible to see a distance of
more than 20 yards in any direction
owing to the blinding snow.
The Union Pacific railroad sent its
rotary plow west last night to bnck the
drifts aud get passenger trains through.
It is fenred that large herds of sheep
that are being wintered in Nebraska
will suffer.
Many of the North American Indians
were magnificent specimens. o physical
manhood. This was due-, largely, to .their
active out-door life. Nevertheless, they
had the wisdom to know that an active life
in the open air alone, would not keep a
man healthy. They had their medicine
men, who gathered herbs from field and
forest and brewed decoctions to assist the
natural processes of the various vital
organs.
Modern civilized men do not as a usual
thing- recognize the same necessity until it
is too late. They ignore medicine until
they are within the grasp of some serious
or fatal disease. The time for a man to be
gin taking medicine is when he begins to
feel out of sorts. If a man is thoroughly
well and healthy he does not feel that way.
If he does feel that way he may be pretty
sure that he is half sick. When he is half
sick it does not take long before he is
"whole-sick." Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is the best medicine for a
man when he is sick or ge$ng sick. It
puts him all right all round;! It puts his
stomach right to begin with, and that is the
most important point. It puts his liver
right, and that is the second most import
ant point. It purifies his blood and fills it
with the life-giving elements of the food
he eats, and that is the third important
point. It drives out all disease germs and
impurities of every discription. It makes
the appetite keen and hearty. It is the
greatest blood-maker and flesh-builder. It
cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consump
tion, weak lungs, spitting of blood, obsti
nate coughs and kindred ailments. Thou
sands who were given up to die have testi
fied to tl:c:rrecovery under this marvelous
medicine. An honest dealer will not urge
a substitute for the sake of a little extra
nrofit. He jrive3 von what vou ask for.
