the Capital.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 4. The culmi
nation of Admiral Dewey's triumphal
homo-coming was reached today in the
shadow of the dome of the national
capitol. Here he received from the
hands of the president the magnificent
jeweled sword voted him by congress
in commemoration of the victory of
Manila bay. This was the official rea
son for the ceremony. But mere offi
cial sanction could never have thrown
Into the demonstration the fervor of
enthusiasm that was meted out to the
admiral as he appeared before the
vast audience , composed not only of
all the highest officials in the land ,
but of spectators drawn from every
quarter of the United States.
The battle of Manila bay was not
forgotten , but it might.be said to have
been relegated almost to second place
in the desire to do honor to the man
man who had p/oved himself as great
after victory as before it and who had
shown in the long and trying months
that followed his naval triumph the
qualities of a statesman and a wise
administrator as well as a fighting
leader of the victorious fleet. And en
hancing these qualities was that of
manly modesty , displayed in the quiet
dignity with which he met the occa
sion.
sion.This
This trait of Dewey's character was
evidenced from the moment he 'reach
ed the stand side by side with the
president. He paused at this point
for a moment unwilling , apparently ,
to take the place that had been pre
pared for him on the right of the
platform lest he should appear to
usurp the place due to the chief mag
istrate. President McKinley grasped
the situation in an Instant and tak
ing his great sea captain by the arm
placed him l y gentle force in that
chair that bad been intended for him.
Later in the day , as the carriages
bearing the official party drove away
from the capitol between walls of
cheering people , the president again
displayed his tact by remaining cov
ered and ignoring the demonstration
himself , leaving the acknowledgment
to the admiral alone.
For Dewey it was a trying as well
as a triumphal day. It has been given
to few officers in the naval history of
the country to sit before a crowd of
thousands while the chief of the naval
establishment dilated upon their ex
ploits and then to stand before the
same crowd to receive at the hands
of the president a sword prepared for
him at the behest of the renresenta-
tives of the whole people. The strain
upon Admiral Dewey reached almost
to the breaking point. None but those
nearest to him could see how he labor
ed to repress his feelings during the
A address of Secretary Long , but when
he arose to receive the sword from
hands of the president no one could
mistake the flash of the white gloved
hand as it rose to dash away the tears
before the admiral came to the rigid
attitude of attention before his chief.
When it became Dewey's turn to re
ply his voice failed him and he made
the effort twice before his lips would
respond. When he did succeed his
tones were clear and steady , but so
low that only those nearest him could
-.0 hear.
. There was an exquisite bit of com
edy following the trying formalities ,
though it escaped all but those di
rectly on the stand. As the admiral
closed and took his seat he turned to
the president and in a tone of quiz
zical appeal inquired :
"Now , really , don't you think I did
pretty well for an amateur ? "
Once during the ceremonies Secre
tary Long embraced an opportunity
to cease the trying situation for the
chief actor in the day's events. When
the secretary began his address the
sun was shining directly in Admiral
Dewey's eyes and , without his hat ,
he was at its mercy. The secretary
quietly inserted in his address a low
aside : "Admiral , turn your chair a
little , we don't want to have you

Free State , today received a cable
gram relative to affairs in the Trans

Child Lost In Strarrstack.
AUBURN , Neb. , Oct. 4.The child
lost In Johnson county , of which
mention was made recently ,
In fact occurred in this county , and
was the son of Fred W. Zabel , residing
about five miles west of here. The
child was found by George Moron of
Johnson. It had been missing more
than sixty hours , and a large search
ing party had been out during that
time. An older brother told Mr. Moren
that the last he saw of the llttlo one
It had left him near the house , saying
it was going to the straw stack to
hunt its kittle. Mr. Moren and another
of the searchers were sitting on the
straw stack talking over the pecullai
manner In which the child had gotten
lost. They went to the top of the
stack , where they found a hole. Mr.
Moren was let down from the top into
the stack and thus located the child.
It was so fastened down he could not
move it , but finally got hold of its
feet and his companion dragged him
and the child out of the hole. Food
and other restoratives were applied
and It is on the road to a certain re
covery. It had been without food for
more than sixty hours. The straw
stack in which it was found was less
than 100 yards from its home , and the
stack had been searched many timeg
by different persons.
Throttling Outfit and Grain Burn.
HASTINGS , Neb. , Oct. 4. Fire de
stroyed a brand new $1,200 steam
threshing outfit belonging to C. A
Day , and seven stacks of grain be
longing to Conrad Knapp , who live :
one mile northwest of Hastings. A ?
the threshing had not been com
menced on Knapp's farm and no fire
had been started In the engine , the
whole thing smells of incendiarism
Sheriff Simmering placed C. C. Chris
tensen and two sons , Axtell and Wal
ter , under arrest , on a warrant sworn
out by C. A. Day , but as there was no
evidence furnished , Mr. Christensen
and two sons were released on their
own bond to appear Monday , October
9 , when they will have their hearing.
It seems that C. A. Day had bought
two-thirds of the steam threshing out
fit from Christensen , and that Christ
ensen still retained an interest of one-
third. It is said that some troubl *
grew out of this partnership business
as Chriatensen insisted that the farm
ers must pay him one-third of the
price agreed upon for the work , and
Day equally insisted that the farmers
must pay him the full amount as per
agreement.

the roof of the Buffalo County Na
tional bank building , three blocks

HASTINGS , Neb. , Oct. 4. The suit
In mandamus brought by J. S. Wil
liams , editor of the Hastings News ,
igainst Sheriff John J. Simmering to
: ompel an inspection of the sheriff's
tee book , was decided on demurrer to
; he plaintiff's petition. The argument
irged by the sheriff's attorneys was
; hat the petition failed to show that
SVilliams had any interest In the
looks or records that he sought to in
spect , and that the petition generally
lid not state facts to sustain an ap-
jlication in jnandamus. The proba-
) ility is that this will end the case.
