on Trial in Kentucky.

Ex-Got. Bradley' Bitter Crlticlam of
Uncle Sam as He See Him '
Itooaevelt at St Paul.
Louisville, Ky., July 18. The Re
publican state convention yesterday
nominated for governor Hon. John W.
Yerkes, of Danville, adopted a plat
form declaring the Issue of the elec
tion to be the Goebel election law, and
adjourned within three hours. There
were some .anti-Goebel Democrats in
the convention, but us to how many
figures differ. In the Shelby county
delegation there were, according to a
statement ms.de from the platform,
nineteen Democrats. A feature of
the speeches made was that they all
paid tributes to what the Democratic
Party has done in tlu past, though
they unsparingly denounced the pres
ent Democratic state administration
and the Democratic legislature, thus
Indicating a purpose to welcome into
the Republican Tarty all Democrats
who are opposed to the Goebel election
law.
Hn. Taylor Given Three Cheer.
There was no nomination to be
made by this convention except for
governor, as this year's election in
Kentucky is an extraordinary one to
till the vacancy In the governorship
made by the death of William Goebel.
The present governor, Heekham, will
hold this otlice only uutil his successor
Is elected and qualities, unless he
should himself be elected governor.
The convention was held in the Audi
torium. The boxes were nearly all
filled with ladies, and In one were Mrs.
V. S. Taylor, wife of the former Re
publican governor, and four of her
daughters. The convention gave her
three cheers when she entered the box.
In a speec-h ex-Governor Bradley said
that with the Republicans of Ken
tucky it was not a question of whether
the constitution follows the flag, but
whether the constitution was worth
anything under the flag.
Hitter Word of Governor Bradley.
"We have been told," he said, "that
wherever the flag went there freedom
followed. it is not so in Kentucky.
We found that our country could levy
a tax on our property and take the
last dollar we bad and order us into
service and force us to give the last
drop of blood in our veins to sustain
this nation, and yet this nation is un
der no obligations to sustain the citi
zen whose projH-rty and whose blood
It can take. We have found that we
had the power to go to a foreign land,
and there rout an implacable foe in
order to give freedom to a people who
were not bound to us by ties of any
description, and yet we have not the
power to give freedom to the people
of Kentucky. We have been told
that they can stnd us abroad 8.000
miles from home to guarantee free
dom to the people of the Philippines,
but yet under the constitution of the
United States we have no power to
guarantee freedom to the people of
Kentucky.
ROOSEVELT AT ST. PAUL.
Principal Feature of the National Repub
lican Club League.
St. Paul, July 18. The National
League of Republican clubs was

o'clock a. m., yesterday at the meet
ing place of the league in the Au
ditorium. When the convention was
organized Governor Roosevelt was In

The event of the day was the gov

station by the Rough Rider club and
escorted to the Hotel Ryan, where he
registered and was taken off to break
fast at the Minnesota club. Here the
Rough Riders gave him three cheers
aud he walked down the uneanu snook
hands with each member of the club
and said that he esteemed the club a
personal compliment to himself.
The convention proceedings during
the day were rather quiet, but that
word did not in any respect apply to
the night meeting, which was one of
wildest enthusiasm, the crowd com
menced to gather lefore G p. m., al
though it was after 7 before the doors
were opened and .S:3) o'clock before
the meeting was called to order. 1- inal
ly the St. Paul Roosevelt club tiled
into seats back of the stage, having
just escorted Governor Roosevelt from
the hotel. At the Ninth street side of
the Auditorium those who could not
get Into the building greeted the gov
ernor as. escorted by Senator Dais
and a local committee, he appeared in
a carriage. A detail of mounted police
cleared away the crowd.
When the est rriage stopped at the
entrance Governor Roosevelt arose in
the carriage and spoke a few words
to his fellow citizens who were un
able to get inside. The party then en
tered the ball, where the governor was
given an ovation. Senator Davis was
chairman of the evening, and intro
duced Governor Roosevelt in a short
sueech.
As he named the speaker of the
evening the crowd came to Its feet
and six minutesof cheers and applause
swept the hall. hen Roosevelt nnal
ly was able to make himself heard, he
returned thanks for the reception that
had been tendered him and proceeded
to speak of politics and public life, fre
quently receiving loud applause.
Governor Roosevelt concluded his
peroration at exactly 9:30 o'clock, when
the audience arose en masse and over
r.,000 voices shook the air for about
five minutes. A carriage was waiting
at the door, the governor entered at
once, was driven to the station and at
11:25 he was flying: eastward on his
journey home, with the fixed purpose
of making a speech nowhere while en
route.

ground was moist enough to prevent
much roal damage to corn, but in most
central, southern and western counties
the early-planted corn was seriously
injured by the dry period. -Much early
corn hs tassoled, and tho late corn is
just coming into tassel.' Haying ha

From Wednesday's Daily.
Anna Frish, the girl who was lodged
in jail yesterday on a charge of petit
larceny, preferred by Mrs. Grace Cat
teyson,had a trial before Judge Archer
last evening and was found guilty.
She was fined $10 and costs. Anna's
financial condition could not satisfy
this demand and she was taken back
to jail and, in all probability, will be a
guest of Jailor McBrido for the next
few clays.
Her habit of taking articles which
do not belong to her is certainly a bad
ono and a jail sentence ought to be
very beneficial in her case.

The oflicers received a telephone
call from tho Missouri Pacific depot
about S o'clock last evening. Marshal
Slater, Olhcer Fitzpatrick and Deputy
Sheriff McBrido immediately re
sponded to tho call. They found six
burly hobos lounging about the depot,
sorao of them acting in a rather sus
picious manner, but they bad done
nothing which would warrant their ar
rest. However, in order to guard
against a repetition of the robbery
which occurred out there last week,
the oflicers showed them the shortest

St. Joseph Manufacturing Flriu Writes a
Letter of Inquiry to J. II. Ilaldemau,
Attorney J. II. Haldeman this morn
ing received a letter from the Wyeth
Hardware & Manufacturing company
of St. Joseph, Mo., making inquiries
in regard to the condition of the crops
in Cats county. This firm has large
business interests in this part of the
staie,and is naturally interested in the
crop conditions. Below will bo found
a reproduction of the letter:
St. Joseph, Mo., July 16 J. H.
Haldemitn, es-q., Plattsmouth, Neb.
Doar Sir: We trust that the recent
welcome rain reached your part of the
country and that it came in time to be
of subslautial benefit to you. We
wouiiTbe glad if you would give us
what information you can regarding
the probable yield of the wheat crop
iiiul ul.-o the outlook for corn whether
the rain came in time to save it or not.
We enclose stamps and trust that
you will favor us with an early reply,
which we can assure you will bo very
much appreciated. Yours truly,
W yktii IIakdwakk and Mko. Co.
G. M. Johnson, Secretary.
Mr. Haldeman, who has been keep
ing himself posted in regard to this
matter, forthwith sent the St. Joseph
iii in the following reply, which is not
in any way coloring the actual crop
conditions existing in Cass county at
the present time:
Plattsmouth, Neb., July 18, 1900.
Wyeth Hardware Manufacturing
Company, St. Joseph, Mo. Gentle
men: Answering youis of the 10th,
iust., would say that anticipation and
wish for good aad welcome rain in this
vicinity was realized and appreciated
a few uays ago. It did not come in a
windy, blustering manner, as too fre
quently, but it was steady and co
pious, the fall being about two and one
half inches.
The wheat crop is rather good,
which, of course, was made ancf gen
erally harvested before the rain, and
will probably averago twenty bushels
to the acre. You know this is really
not a wheat country.
Prom indications tho corn crop will
ho excellent, as the rain was in time.
Without any rain for two or three
weeks, in my opinion, corn will now
ccme out all right. Most of It will
be all right even without any more
rain. I have lived in this county for
nearly twenty years and have never
seen a better prospect for a corn crop.
And I have never known times to be
as good and farmers in a like financial
condition. Compared with the hard
times we had about three or Are years
ago, it is simply wonderful. Every
thing the farmer has to sell has gone
up, including real estate, while Inter
est has fallen from S to 4 per cent. No
better security could a mn want than
farm land in Nebraska. If we could in
eoran way dispense with demagopues,
political calamity howlers, and, at least,
have loss agitation on the money ques
tion, I believe we would still be better
off. Yours truly,
J. II. Haldeman.

The majority of persons upon reaching middle age and past
find their blood becomes weak and thin, and diseases that were
easily controlled in earlier life begin to affect the constitution.
Those predisposed to Scrofula, Cancer, Rheumatism, Gout and other hereditary troubles may escape
till then, but as they age the blood, so long tainted and weakened by accumulated waste matters, is no
longer able to properly nourish the body, and it becomes an easy mark for disease. At this critical period
of life the blood must be re-enforced before it can perform its legitimate functions and rid the system of
these poisons, and nothing so surely and effectually does this as S. S. S.
S. S. S. strengthens and enriches the blood, improves the appetite, and builds up the general constitu

Arch L. Coleman, formerly of Platts
mouth, but who is now conducting a
jswelry store at South Omaha, has for
several months past been trying to get
rid of a saloon located next to bis
place of business, and the following in
today's Bee would indicate that he is
in a fair way to accomplish his pur
pose: "An alternative writ of mandamus
has been issued by Judge Keysor dl
reetisg the mayor and council of South
Omaha to convene at once for the pur
pose of revoking the liquor license of
Fred Rumph, 2412 N street. The de
fendants will be allowed to make a
showing on July 21. The writ was is
sued on the plea of Arch L. Coleman,
who conducts a jewelry stora next to
the room used as . a saloon. Coleman
says he went to trouble and expense in
establishing himself in business when
the council granted a liquos license to
Rumph. The saloon is separated from
the jewelry store by only a thin board
partition, which offers no obstruction
to sound. So when the jeweler is en
gaged in showing his wares orders for
beer and the sound of revelry are per
petually in his ears. He believes his
customers have been driven away.
The case was decided against Coleman
in the district court, but he now enters
the complaint that he was not given
sufficient time to file notice of appeal."
IS IT KIOUT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent Med
icines? From Sylvan Valley News, Breva.d,
N. C. It may be a question whether
the editor of a paper has the right to
publicly recommend medicines which
flood the market, yet as a preventive
of sufiering we feel it a duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have Known and ifsed this medicine in
our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many ca
ses a dose of the remedy would 6ave
hours of suffering while a physician is
awaited. We do not believe in de
pending implicitly on any medicine
for a cure, but we do believe that if a
bottle of Chamberlain's Dirrhoea Rem
edy' were kept on hand and ad
ministered at the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence
of a physician would not be required.
At least this has been our oxporience
during the past twenty years. For
sale by all drugists.
A complaint was filed in Justice
Becker's court today against Joseph
II. Smith of Rick Bluffs, charging
him with beating and wounding his
wife and otherwise acting in an offen
sive manner. A warrant has been is
sued for his arrest.
An Epidemic of Diarrhoea.
Mr. A. Sanders, writing from Co
coanut Grove, Fla., says there has
been quite an epidemic of diarrhoea
there. He had a severe attack and
was cured by four dopes of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera anc Dia
rrhoea Remedy. He says he also rec
ommended it to others and they say it
is the best medicine they ever used.
For sale by all druggists.
