MASHED IN A WRECK.
Con O'Connor, a Former B. & M. En
gineer, Seriously Hurt.
EARLY DECISION EXPECTED.
Tli V. 8. Supreme Court Soon to Decide
the Somewhat Faiuoui Elevator
Suit Between the Farmers'
Alliance and the M. P.
Information reached this city yester
day of a recent railway accident on the
M., K. A T. in Texas, in which Con
O'Connor, an engineer who formerly
lived in Plattsmouth and pulled an
engine on one of the B. & M.'a main
line passenger trains previous to the
strike in '88, was seriously, and per
hap fatally, injured. The accident
waa the result of a collision between
two trains, one a passenger and the
other a freight, Mr. O'Connor being
on the latter. According to the in
formation at hand Mr. O'Connor was
caught under the falling locomotive
and both legs were so badly mashed
that his life is endaneeied. The
freight conductor was instantly killed
Mr. O'Connor is known in railway
circles as one of the most competent
engineers in the west. Socially, he
was an excellent gentleman, and bis
misfortune will be deeply regretted by
his hosts of friends in this city and all
along the line of the B. & M.
Will Soon Be Decided.
The state board of transportation
has received notice that the famous
Elmwood elevator case will come up
in the United States supreme court
within a few days for a final decision
This is the case wherein the farmers'
alliance sued the Missouri Pacific to
secure an elevator site. It involves
the question of whether a railroad
company must grant elevator sites to
all applicants when they have granted
such to one. The Nebraska supreme
court held that the site must be
granted. The railroad carried the
case up and after the lapse of several
years it is now to be decided. Lincoln

The Attachment Released.
The three attachment cases com
menced against C. Benson in Justice
Archer's court by P. J. Hansen
Streight & Sattle and Dr. Marshall
were dismissed Wednesday upon pay
ment by Benson of the claims, and the
goods held under the attachment were
accordingly released. Benson is the
ex-Iaundryman who endeavored to
skip to Iowa without paying his debts
His creditors learned of his plans and
attached his household effects while
they were standing in a car at the
B. & M freight house ready for ship
ment.
. The Lincoln News never loses an
opportunity, and rightfully too, tocal
attention to the Lincoln Journal's
employment of "rat" printers at
starvation wages. General Weaver
the fusion candidate for congress in
the Iowa district just across the river,
spoke in Lincoln Tuesday afternoon
and the following is a part of the men
Uon which the .News made of the
general's address: " While the general
washuilicgan anathema at the re
publican party a piece of plastering
fell from the ceiling and lit just behind
him. 'There goes one chunk out of the
republican party,' he ejaculated. Just
at this moment Col. Fowler, a reporter
for the Journal, slipped off the plat
form and headed for the door. "There
goes another chunk," yelled some pop
who knew him. "No, that's only the
hole," yelled another. "It's a State
Journal chunk," cried another, and
the crowd said "Rats." And Col
Fowler threw himself madly down the
tairs."

A Splendid Melln.
Many people from the county were
among the audience at the Waterman
which greeted the appearance of Hon.
. II. Weir and D. B. Carey last eve
ning, judge Arcner presided anu in
troduced the speakers. "It gives me
pleasure to introduce to you the man
whom the independents nominated
for congress, and whose selection was
so eminently fitting and unobjection
able that the democrats also nomi
nated him. Mr. A. II. Weir, the
present mayor of Lincoln."
Mr. Weir then began an address of
an hour and a half, devoted almost ex
clusively to the Gnancial question.
While not an orator be was listened to
with close attention throughout. Be
ginning with quotations from the most
eminent authorities showing that the
prosperity or adversity of the people
depended upon the amount of money iu
citculation;that plenty of money me&r.t
prosperity and a scarcity of money
ment a cheapening of every species of
property and a stoppage of all enter-
prize and advancement and poverty
and wretchedness among the masses.
He argued that for twenty-five lyears
there had been almost constant shrink-
ng of the volume of the currency and
a consequent lowering in prices of
everything raised or manufactured by
man, and that the condition of men
was as a consequence growing worse
all the time, while the wealthy were
all the time growing more so. He re
ferred to the prosperity of the people
during and at the close of the war and
proved it by citing the fact that there
were but four and five hundred failures
a year for several years while there
was from $40 to 850 per capita in cir
culation, while after the destruction
of the 7-30 notes and greenbacks began
the number of business failures largely
increased, bringing on the crash of
1873-4, after which the Bland act pro
vided for the coming of silver, and
that partially stopped the pressure of
hard times on the people. Thus be
traced the history of finance from
cause to effect, until now, when even
the lowering of taxes under the Wil
son bill was slow to effect a relief from
the pressure for more money. He
advocated free coinage of gold and sil
ver on equal terms because they
would be self regulators of the volume
of metal money and be certain
to bring prosperous times for
all business and the masses of the
people. The rugged honesty of his
argument and his freedom from mud
throwing created a very favorable im
pression and brought frequent ap
plause.
Mr. Carey then took the floor, and
dwelling on state issues, soon had the
audience at his feet. He spoke for
forty minutes and showed himself to
be not only an orator but thoroughly
posted on state politics. He is a large.
fine-looking man and his voice and
presence are equally attractive. His
review of the robberies of republican
state officials and the rule of the party
by that class of men, was graphic,
plain and convincing, and when he
urged the election of the fusion legis
lative ticket because it would help
elect W. J. Bryan to the senate the ap
plause shook the building.
Geo. Leidigh, candidate for float
representative in Cass and Otoe coun
ties, was interviewing friends in town
Wednesday. Mr. Leidigh was nomi
nated by the independents, but in
reality he is a democrat, and as such
has been elected to the legislature from
Otoe county, serving during the la3t
session. He is a pronounced Bryan
democrat and has for his platform the
election of that gentleman to the U. S
senate. Mr. Leidigh will receive a
tremendous vote in Otoe county, and
if the democrats and independents of
Otoe county do their duty, his election
will be assured.

ONfc THINO AMI ANOT1IKK.
Mayor Weir, of Lincoln, was regu
larly nominated for congress by the
democrats of this district atTecum
seh, and the democrats all over the
d.strict are universally satisfied with
the nomination and propose to give
Mr. Weir their votes. The Nebraska
City News, a so-called democratic
organ, is doing all it can on the quiet
for the republican candidate. Mr.
Strode, but there is nothingreally sur
prising in this action of the News, as
it is an old-time trick for that sheet to
stab some regular democratic nomi
nee in the back J. M. Stone, the
dernociatic candidate for float repre
sentative two years ago, being an ex
ample. It is certainly time for the
News to cast aside its mask and come
out flat-footed as a republican organ.
It cert?.iiily is nothing else.
"In my humble opinion." remarked
a well-known traveller for an Omaha
jobbing house at a local hotel Tues
day, "the wholesale houses of Omaha
and Lincoln will find that
their effort to dictate the election
of Tom Majors will have a
damaging effect on their trade in this
state. My territory is in the near
vicinity of Omaha, but I have lately
conversed with salesmen who tour out
in the state, and particularly in south
ern Nebraska, and they tell me that
there are many merchants who resent
the action of the jobbing houses in
dabbling with politics and will show
their disapproval by patronizing other
bouses. The upshot of. the whole
matter is that the jobbing interests of
both Omaha and Lincoln will suffer,
while St. Joseph and Sioux City will be
the gainers. The Bee made the same
kind of a statement only a few days
ago and 1 notice that the Majors or
gans vigorously denied it, but the
statements of travelling men whose
order books are not filling up as rap
idly as before, is certainly convincing.
As a rule, travelling salesmen are not
given to admitting that their trade is
dwindling and when they make such
an admission it can be put down as
true."
Polk's News of this city is another
sheet that has been making an awful
fuss about the "credit of the state"
being endangered by the election of
Judge Holcomb. The sickly plea is
made that every loan company in the
state will withdraw and refuse to
make loans on Nebraska farms, and a
picture of poverty is drawn upon the
campaign canvass which would excite
the admiration of the masters in art.
The cry has been hashed and rehashed
in every republican organ in the state,
but It remains for Polk's organ to put
the lie to the whole outfit. Every day
in which the News has made that plea
its columns contained an advertise
ment which proves how really little
it cares to print the truth. The
advertisement mentioned is as follows:
MONEY TO LOAN.
We have money to loan at 6 per cent
on farm or city property in any section
of country where property has a fixed
market value. Money reaay tor im
mediate loans where security and title
is good. No commission. We solicit
applications. Blanks furnished upon

Polk's nose has been pinched in his
own trap. The man's hypocrisy could
not better be proven.
The Nebraska City News styles
itself an administration organ and at
the same time it refuses to support
Mr. Weir, the fusion candidate for
congress. The real facts are that
President Cleveland has stated it as
his express desire that the democrats
of Nebraska, when they have no
chance to elect a candidate of their
own, should vote for populist nomi
nees and thus defeat republicans, and
especially is this true in reference to
candidates for congress. The presi-

dent is for tariff reform first, last and j
all the time and it is not at all strange
that he would rather have a low lariff
populist in congress than a high lariff
republican. If the News wishes to
make good its claim of being an ad
ministration democratic organ it must
necessarily support Mr. Weir. Other
wise it must acknowledge itself as a
traitor to the cause of tariff reform.
Here's a splendid opportunity for the
News to get in out of the wet.
11, Found II In Men.
"The strangest experience of my
career," remarked a gentlemen at the
Hotel Rily the other evening, "hap
pened some ten years ago when I was
serving as a U. S. deputy marshal in
the territory of Dako a. At that time
federal court was held at Yankton,
and travelling over the state was done
almost exclusively by stage. Dead-
wood was theu the scene of consider
able lawlessness and the officers of the
court who where called to the Black
Hills country on official business found
it an exceeding tiresome journey. It
was in connection with a trip to Dead
wood that an incident happened tome
which I certainly shall never forget. I
had a whole pocket full of federal court
papers to serve on people in the neigh
borhood of Deadwood, but found all
my parties in short order except two
men. In Ieadwood 1 learned that
the men had departed for a place
several miles up iu the big hill?, their
object being to prospect, so I secured a
saddle horse at a livery stable and left
to hunt them up. After proceeding
for a few miles I met a party of almost
a dozen men coming down one of the
gulches on horseback, and at once in
quired if they had teen anything of
the pair whom I was searchirg. Yes,
they had just left them,' was the re
ply. 'You'll find them just up the
gulch.' I thanked the party for the
information and proceeded up the
gulch as directed. I travelled for a
few hundred yards and after making a
sharp tuin in the road, met a sight
which almost knocked me from the
saddle. There were my two men
botli were hanging from a tree with
ropes around their necks and both
were too dead to skin. It never before
had been my lot to serve papers on a
dead man, but I turned the trick to
the best of my ability and rode back to
Deadwood. The news of the hanging
had preceded me and there I learned
that the luckless pair had been too
much inclined to borrow horses be
longing to other people without going
through the formality of returning the
animals and as a consequence a
vigilance committee had waited on
the two men and wafted them into
the great beyond. I was back to
Yankton in about two weeks and my
duties never again called me to Dead
wood, but information afterwards
reached me that no prosecutions ever
followed, people out there looking on
the affair as a matter of justice. For
all I know the leader of the vigilance
committee might afterwards have been
elevated to the Deadwood mayor
alty." A Matter of Tracks.
The Union Pacific receivers have
asked the court to relieve them from
joint track contracts with the Bur
lington. One of these is that to allow
the Burlington to run through South
Omaha on Union Pacific tracks for
the short cut from La Platte to the
stockyards. The Union Pacific has
refused at any time to permit the
Burlington to do this and the short
cut tracks are consequently idle. The
other contract is that for the Union
Pacific to use the Burlington tracks
between David City and Columbus.
The case comes up November 10. Mr.
Marquette, counsel for the B. & M., is
in Omaha looking over, the ground.

DKMOCKATS, ATTENTION !
Democrats in general and de
mocratic precinct committeemen
especially are urged to see that all
democrats and others who favor
the election of W. J. Bn an for U.
S. senator should vote for George
VV. Leidigh for float representa
tive, for the reason that he was
nominated as a free coinage
democrat by'the independent float
convention and was endorsed by
the Cass county democratic cen
tral committee no legal demo
cratic nomination having been
made. The name of John Sin
clair, it is true, will appear on the
ticket as the democratic nominee,
but no democrat who favors Mr.
Bryan for U. S. senator should be
deceived into voting for him, be
cause there is no chance ot his
election, and he is not in favor of
Mr. Bryan. A vote for Geo. W.
Leidigh will be in direct line with
democratic principles, in harmo
ny democratic purposes and for
Wm. J. Bryan for United States
senator.

relative to a letter from a Life In

inferred that tbey will lo;m no more
money in thi3 state if a populist gov

know. and I think I am in a position
to Know, this company has never loaned
a dollar in this county. In ray estima
tion this cry about not being uole to
borrow money or renew loans should
a populist governor lev-Iected, is all
political rot and those engaged in
circulating such reports ought to be in
better business. There is nothing in
such reports except to scare borrowers
into voting for the Tattooed Iiepudia

government. I am a republican and
believe in the republican principles of
government and am in the loan busi

$30,000, on farms and city prop
