PAGE 6 Claim Lafe Seeks Vengeance C A Rodgers the court refporter in question has also prepared an af fidavit that is in the hands of the ju diciary committee in which he states that the bill of exceptions was de layed because he was neither paid nor tendered the lawful fees until the time to prepare the bill of excep tions before the expiration of forty days after the dictum of the court had passed Regarding the false sheet of testimony he states that the judge only caused it to be restored to its original form after it had been mu tilated by lead pencil and ink inter polations made in a hand writing closely lesembling that of Burnett F L Wolff of McCook another at torney interested in the various Wil son cases has filed an affidavit de fending Judge Orr Besides reciting what Rodgers made affidavit to he states on the affidavit of C Rey nolds and Y W Tilden employed in the office of the district court that Burnett forcibly took the files in these cases and made changes in them He also says that Burnetts complaint is filed solely by way of revenge and to influence pending litigation L W Sta5ner who was a repor ter in the court before Rodgers was employed supports Rodgers state ment that the delay in the prepara tion of the bill of exceptions was Burnetts fault for failure to pay the fees Stayner also denies that Judge Orr ever threatened Burnett with a citation for contempt of court for bringing an action in mandamus He states that the judge did reprove Burnett for stealing the files in the case The course of an impeachment is elaborate and provides the accused with every opportunity for defense Should this matter be acted upon by the judiciary committee a report would be made to the senate Then it would be necessary for both houses of the legislature to pass upon the specifications In the event that the legislature deemed the matter to be worth consideration it would so in form the supreme court and testimony in the case would be taken under the direction of that court Lincoln dis patch GRANT A dust and snow storm swept over this section Sunday last The Wesch brothers are fencing 100 acres more for pasture Caleb W Hass has bought a 4 acre tract of

Board of Education A BARNETT L SUESS Whereas The conditions in Mc Cook have reached a stage where it is absolutely necessary for the City ta own and operate a municipal water plant and as we feel that our water supply is inadequate for fire protection and for the protection of our lawns and trees the candidates placed in nomination by this convention are pledged to accomplish this result at the earliest dat epossible The police judge of Alliance adver tises that he turned into the public treasury of that city during the mun icipal year 678410 He does not state from what sources he received this sum of which he is so proud and the reader is left to imagine You have read of the little red wagon which was so proud of its load of fertilizer 4 J Nebraska is entitled to more pleas ure than it is likely to feel in the final enactment of a stock yards bill turning the stock yards over to the railroad commission This holds true entirely aside from such direct bene fit as it may have Except for the brewers the stock yards have been the most disturbing interest in Ne braska legislation since the railroads were turned over to the commission four years ago The stock yards havs been the nucleus of about every deal attempted in the last two legislatures Few measures have secured action this winter without reference to the stock yards To have this mischievous spirit banished from the legislature is worth a fortune to Nebraska Jour nal Governor Aldrich has signed H R 107 the anti trading stamp and anti free gift enterprise bill which was passed by both houses of the legis lature The bill has no emergency clause and will become effective threi months after the legislature adjourns The governor is said to doubt the legality of the bill but he believes it will be better for those interested to test the bill in the courts of Ne braska than to continually maintain a lobby at the legislature The Ne braska retailers association asked for the passage of the bill and manufac turers of prize packages trading stamp companies had able lawyers on the ground to combat the bill and to question its constitutionality Journal j j Warning to Railroad men Look out for severe and even dan gerous kidney and bladder trouble re sulting from years of railroading Geo E Bell 639 Third st Fort Wayne Ind was many years a conductor on the Nickel Plate He says Twenty years of railroading left my kidneys in terrible condition There was a continual pain across my back and hips and my kidneys gave me much distress and the action of my blad der was frequent and most painful I got a supply of Foley Kidney Pills and the first bottle made a wonderful improvement and four bottles cured me completely Since being cured I have recommended Foley Kidney Pill to many of my railroad

the young brides trouble soon began when she tried to reduce the cost of living with cheap big can baking powders She soon discovered that all she got was a lot for her money and itwas I leavening power Such powders will not make light wholesome food And because of the absence of leavening gas it requires from two or three times as much to raise cakes or bis cuits as it does of Calumet Baking powder Thus eventually the actual cost to you of cheap baking powder is more than Calumet would be Cheap baking powders often leave the bread bleached and acid some times yellow and alkaline and often unpalatable They are not always of uniform strength and quality Now the bride buys Calumet the perfectly wholesome baking powder moderate in Iprice and always uni form and reliable Calumet keeps in

Finding of the Survivors of the Greely Expedition STAYED THE HAND OF DEATH The Seven Starved and Half Crazed Dying Men Were Wearily Waiting For the End When Came the Shout That Told Them Relief Was Nigh In his story of the rescue of the rem nants of the ill fated Greely expedi tion at Cape Sabine in 18S4 Frank B Copley in the American Magazine gives a dramatic description of the ac tual finding of the starving survivors On June 21 a furious gale blew down the tent which the despairing men had not the strength to raise again On the 22d the gale continued and the men felt that the end of their long struggle had come In the evening all the men were in their bags waiting for death Greely Frederick Blederick Elison and Con nell were under the fallen canvas of the tent Brainard and Long were under the fallen canvas of the adjoin ing shelter It remained light of course the sun at this season being continuously above the horizon Con nell passed Into the unconscious state which was the prelude of death The other six men supremely indifferent to everything lay idly dozing But the evening still was young when seemingly from a distance there came a sound that forced itself upon their attention Once came the sound Twice came the sound Three times came the sound Each time it was a long insistent screech At first it was annoying as any sound Is that gradually forces one to leave ones pleasant dreams and awake But with the second repetition of the screech Brainard and Long sat up and looked at each other From under the canvas of the tent came the complaining voice of Greely Brainard did you hear it Yes sir What was it I think I am pretty sure that it was the whistle of a steamer There was something of a stir under the fallen canvas of the tent blck had aroused himself and seized the bag containing their last bit of brandy Two spoonfuls were left Biederbick forced one down the throat of the dying Connell If they actually were going to be rescued Connell should have a chance to live The other spoonful of brandy Biederbick offered to bis commander When Gree ly declined it Biederbick sent it to fol low the other spoonful down the throat of Connell Greely now asked Brainard and Long if they could get out from under their canvas and report if anything was to be seen They said they felt able to climb to the high rocky point on the ridge where Brainard had set a signal flag Do your best said Greely Slowly and painfully Brainard and Long crawled up the narrow path in the snow to the point which command ed a broad view of the sea There was much open water but nothing was to be seen on It save the old monotonous floes and bergs Long said they must have been mis taken in the nature of the sound they had heard Brainard agreed After a few minutes Brainard chilled through said he would go back and report to Greely Long who was more warmly clad said he would stay up there a while longer When Brainard in reporting to Gree ly again expressed the opinion that they had been deceived the opinion seemed to be accepted by all the men under the tent Brainard crawled back into his bag fully believing that he never would leave it again and fully resigned to the prospect Presently Biederbick began to argue that the fact that no ship was to be seen from the point above them did not necessarily indicate that they had been deceived in believing that the sounds they heard were those of a ships whistle He suggested that the ship might be in Payer harbor which could not be seen from their ridge Greely aroused himself sufficiently to say that he did not consider this probable Biederbick however went on arguing in his persistent German way that help was near At length Greely whose nerves were a wreck and whose mind was fast giving way turned on Biederbick and cursed him for making a disturbance Shut up he ordered and let us die in peace So once more there was quiet Lying outside In his bag Brainard vaguely wondered If he ever again would see Long Presently lie heard footsteps Some one was coming It could not be Long Whoever was coming was running God he was running Then came a shout the shout of a hale and hearty man Greely Greely Are ye thcrct There was no mistaking the voice with its Scotch Irish accent The voice was that of James W Norman Ice master on the Proteus when that steamship transported the Greely ex pedition to Lady Franklin bay three years before As Norman shouted two big ships of the United States navy were anchor ing just at the foot of the ridge Seven men out of twenty five lived until the evening of June 22
