He was relieved of this position by Governor Poynter thU morninff and Dr. W. H. Deering nnnointed as his ' I vision for a 15 per cent duty on Rican products. Forto THE scenein district court this morn ing reflected no credit on the attorney who participated in it. The efforts to bulldoze the court were ineffectual and al conduct in with- drawing from the case because the couit's rulings did not suit him met with the rebuke it properly deserved. SOME POLITICAL ASPIRANTS. Weeping Water Republican. The Nehawka Register suggests the name of E. M. Pollard for governor. This paper seconds the nomination. Mr. Pollard is a gocd, capable man, and we believe with his splendid abil ity for organization he could carry the party to victory. J. A. Donelan, J. I. Corley and Fred flnrddr. three nominees on the license ticket, sent written declinations to the city clerk, but as they were not sworn to the names of these gentlemen will appear on the ballots. Mr. Donelan requests the Republican to say that he declined in good faith and he did not e-rnect his name would appear on the ballots. He hopes no one will vote for him, as he will not qualify if he should ba elected. Mr. Thompson of Lincoln is "gain an aspirant for senatorial honors. The republicans of this state have not forgotten that after Mr. Thompson saw that he might secure the prize he failed to secure republicans enougn, however, who were willing to go back on their party caucus to make the scheme win. This bit of treachery on Mr. Thompson's part should, and we believe it has, buried him for all time as a possible candidate for office in the republican party. A man who will sell his party out for his own selfish ends is capable of doing great wrong in the United' States senate and he should not be trusted for a moment. INFORMATION AND OPINION. . Ml 1 . . . A n successor. JNo ctiange win ub ui, the institution, however, until about May 1. and M-. L.ang will remain at the head at the head of the institution until that time- Governor Poynler issued a statement this morning of the result of his in vestigation at Beatrice last ween., ex onerating Dr. Lang from all charges preferred against him but that of being incapable of governing his subordin ates. Governor Poynter announces that Dr. Lang voluntarily tendered his resignation, but in tne light ol tne fight waged during the past few months by the superintendent of the Beatrice institution, it is the general impression that he was given the alternative of resigning or being discharged. It is announced thatDr. Deering will be permitted to choose his own stew ard and that Governor Poynter will accept his recommendation and appoint the man preferred. From Saturday's Daily. Charles C.

"Evarts reDlied: I do not know, unless it is that I never took any exercise." The questioner re garded this as a joke, of course, but it is a fact that the ex-senator objects to any physical exertion, and often hires a cab to avoid walking a block. Half a dozen foreigners appeared be fore Judge Lnt of Worcester, N. Y., last week, applying for naturalization papers. The judge looked them over, Sadden Death in the Field. John Boedecker, living two miles scuth of Louisville, was at work plow ing in his field yesterday morning. At about 11:30 o'clock he brought his team to one end of a furrow, turned the team about as if to start back on the next furrow. He then dropped the lines, took his hands from the plow bandies, and fell forward on bis face dead. His little four-year-old-3on had been in the field with him, and when be saw his father fall, ran to him and tried to arouse him by his cries, but to no purpose, and he ran to tne uouse and told his mother. Word was soon sent to town, and Coroner Gass was telephoned for. No inquest was found necessary, however, as it was apparent that he had died of heart failure. Deceased was about twenty-eight years of age, and leaves a widow and ihn snn ahnve sDoken of. He was in apparent good health, and his sudden charea . . . l. . . . t r r tViA r r m I demise was a Breni tuim .w -" munity. He was the son of Theodore Boedecker, one of the pioneers of that vicinity, and was farming on the home nlace. His brothers, Louis, of Louis- oillp and Charles H.. living west of Murray, are well known residents of the county. The funeral has ben set for tomor row at 2 o'clock, from the residence the old Boedeker homestead. Pound For the Defendant. The case of Brenizer vs. Stam, which was on trial to a jury yesterday in Justice Archer's court, was com n'eted last evening, the jury bringing i n ii VP rdirtt f r the defense. The suit was on a note given in Custer county as a commission for a loan. The de fense claimed the note, in addition to ihn Interest eivea on the loan made it HUV c- usurious. The jury may have thought both defenses proven. Nobody but the jury knows, however. Valuable Art Kxhlblt Free.
