ANOTHER SMALL
BIT OF HISTORY
Wherein the Celebrated Can
on Forms a Part of Same
The Nehawka Register says: "While
waiting at the depot last Sunday even
ing we had the pleasure of forming the
acquaintance of Mr. S. T. Darrow and
wife who were here on a visit to the
family of W. R. Davi3.
"Mr. Darrow is the engineer in charge
of the work of the Burlington at Fre
mont where they are trying to control
the channel of the Platte river and les
sen the danger from floods. While there
his work took him close to some very
historic points in connection with the
state's history; one being the place
where the Pawnee council of May 25,
1855, was held and which is commemor
ated by a stone set near up where they
are working.
"In looking up the history of this
council we have learned that prior to
this time the Pawnees and the Sioux
were in constant warefare. The Sioux
on the north and the Pawnees on the
south and these were allied with the
whites.
General Vhayer was influential in
bringing about this cessation of war in
which the old twelve-pounder that has
long been in the possession of Nehawka
took a prominent part, and was used by
the Nebraska troops in keeping the In
dians in subjection. Finally a peace
council was brought about by General
Thayer between the Pawnees and the
Sioux and this monument was erected
to commemorate the event.
"And now for another bit of history
about the old cannon. Investigations
made by Issac Pollard has proven con
clusively that this old twelve-pounder
was originally brought to Nebraska in
a very early day from Westport, Mo.,
which was then a sort of military depot
and the only one near this section and
given to the First Nebraska, then it
fell into the hands of Papillion, was
borrowed by Springfield, was "found"
at Plattsmouth and every Nehawkan
knows the rest, which is properly term
ed the "cannon war between Platts
mouth and Nehawka."
DEMOCRATIC EDI
TORS OF NEBRASKA
Mr. Bryan lo Mset With Them
in Lincoln March 3 1
William Jenning Bryan will meet with
the Democratic Editorial association in
Lincoln on Tuesday, March 31, and it is
suggested that the editors get there in
time to attend a business session March
31. At this meeting a representative
of the Bryan Volunteers will be on hand
to make suggestions which will be of
advantage to democratic and populist
editors whether financially cannot be
learned yet. This information was sec
ured from the following letter, sent out
by J. B. Donovan, president of the as
sociation:
Madison, Neb., March 9, Dear Sir:
I desire to extend to you, on behalf of
the Nebraska Democratic Editorial as
sociation, an ernest and most cordial
invitation to be present at a business
meeting of the association, to be held
Lincoln on Tuesday, March 31, at 2 p.
m., headquarters at the Lindell hotel.
This meeting is called at the suggestion
of the Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
and is for the purpose of perfecting
plans of cairying on a careful and sys
tematic campaign. A representative
of the Bryan Volunteers will be present
at the meeting and submit a proposi
tion which will no doubt prove of much
importance in the campaign and be of
mutual advantage to all democratic and
populist editors.
The letter closes by urging the editors
to be in attendance at the meeting, and
tells them Mr. Bryan wants them to be
his guests at a dinner at which a pro
gram will be carried out.
Will Enforce Fire Escape Law.
J. J. Ryder, deputy labor commis
sioner, of Lincoln, was in the city this
morning called here to inspect some of
our three-story buildings which are
being used for hotel purposes without
fire escapes as required by law. Since
the catastrophe at Collinwood, Ohio,
the enforcement of the laws relating to
fire escapes and exits, is being pushed
with a great deal of vigor. While in
the city, Mr. Ryder inspected the Cen
tral and Columbia school buildings, and
says he finds the facilities for escape in
case of fire away above the average.
The buildings are provided with fire
escapes and doors which swing outward.
He recommended that the seats not in
use in the Central building be stored
elsewhere, and that the boiler room be
not used as a workshop. Speaking of
the child labor law he highly com
mended the actions of the superintend
ent of the city schools, and the officers
of the city in seeing that the law was
enforced, saying that its enforcement
was being pushed everywhere. He also
recommended keeping up the practice
training the children in using the fire
escapes, then there would be no timidity
should there be a necessity for such
use in case of fire.
New York Congressman Says the President
lias Been a Great Memace to the Busi
ness Interests
A special from Washington to the
Omaha Bee, under date of March 13
says: "Denunciation was heaped on
President Roosevelt in the house of
representatives today by Mr. Willett
of New York. Mr. Willett insisted
that the distressing effects of the panic
of 1907 still were being felt. "There
seems to be," he said, "a conspiracy of
silence on the part of the republican
members of the house on the subject of
the cause and effect of the panic."
Those members.he declared, were afraid
to attack the president for fear of
his "big stick." The president, he said,
was "reaping the reward of his own
reckless misconduct."
He referred to "the imperialistic
methods" of the president as evidenced
unAmerican discharge of whole com
panies of American soldiers without
trial, without proof of guilt, and said
it sounded "more like the edict of an
African chieftain or Russian despot
than the command of an American
president."
Mr. Willett charged that P:esiiJent
Roosevelt had "done more than all other
presidents and all other public men in
the history of the country to shake
the confidence of the people in our

The Smoothness of a Platts

Marry Without Let
ting Anyone
Know
With the smoothness of a veteran,
Fred Warner stood around the Burling
ton station last Wednesday and evaded
the scrutinizing glances of his friends
and acquaintances, and told the unsu
specting reporter, that he was just go
ing to Omaha for the afternoon, and
and would return in the e vening, thus
throwing off any suspicion that any
thing was liable to happen. In the
meantime his bride-to-be, Miss Bonnie
Marie Robinson, whose home has been
at Avoca, Iowa, but, who has been
living here for some time past, where
she was employed at the Hotel Riley,
was also waiting for the fast maifor

the afternoon. The happy couple de
parted that same afternoon for Avoca,
where they visited for a day with the
parents of the bride. Thursday night
they returned on the late Missouri Pa

the bride and groon are well acquainted

Agreement Planned by Independent Telephone
Companies, Which no Doubt Will be
Agreeable to all Patrons
An interstate rate and routing book
for the guidance of independent tele
phone line operators will soon be issued,
applying to the state of Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri and Iowa, says the
Lincoln News . It will be based on the
block system of rates, with each county
in Nebraska forming one block and the
same division probably observed in the
other state. There will be a fixed rate
between each county in this state and
every county in Missouri, Kansas and
Iowa. The rate will apply in both
directions. It is intended by this plan
to get rid of details which have led
to much confusion heretofore and to
make the system of charging uniform.
The matter of standardizing inter
state rates, time limit of conservations,
overtime charges and abolishing, re
duced rates at night was considered at
the meeting of the Iowa independent
telephone association, which met at
Cedar Rapids this week. Secretary
R. E. Mattison of the Nebraska in
dependent telephone traffic association
was in attendance. He found senti
form of government, and has done
more than any one man in our na
tion's history to destroy legitimate
business, shattered confidence among
the people and bring utter panic
into every counting room, factory, shop,
office and home in the land, and has ex
hibited a greated degree of son-consciousness
and egotism, which are the
natural results of power and flattery,
than any president who has occupied
the White House.
"Nevertheless," he said, "the clarion
tongues of the great republican party
are silent; the people's right may be
trampled upon, but party interests
must be protected." He characterized
the president as "that great central
deity," and that if the usurpations of
the president passed unchallenged by
the people they would soon create the
force of precedent. "Now is the time,"
he exclaimed, "and we are the people
to watch with jealousy suc h beginnings,
indignantly to attack them and if pos
sible to destroy them.
In conclusion he said:
"Remove the cause of the unrest,
silence the ceaseless, senseless clamor
for spectacular eircct of the part of
the man in the White House and quiet
will be restored."

Married in the Early Morning.
Last evening Peter Rouchka obtained

unification of service and rates.
It has been agreed that represen
tatives of the independent interests in
all four states shall meet at Kansas
City as soon as the respective associa
tions can name them, to draft the block
traffic plan. Nebraska will be repre
sented by R. E. Mattison and Frank
H. Woods. The Iowa men who will be
there are Charles G. Cockrell of Jeffer

the state of Nebraska will not be af

Kansas City. No changes can be made
on state business here without an ap
plication being made to the railway
commission and its consent secured. On
interstate traffic, however, the com
panies are not subject to regulation
and may fix such rates and rules as
they see fit. Nebraska rates are fixed
on a mileage basis. Patrons in this
state get the benefit of five minute con
