LINCOLN, Mnrch 21. (Special.) The re
publican banquet given at the auditorium
In this city tonight by tho Abraham Lin
coln club was In all respects ono of tho
most successful atfalrs of Its kind In tho
history of tho state. Tho banquet was
planned as a preliminary gun to tho open
ing of the republican campaign In Nebraska
and tho event was rendered still imoro Im
portant by tho presence of two executive
officeholders of national reputation, ono of
whom has been mentioned as tho probable
candldato for vice president on tho ticket
with President McKlnloy. From point of
attendanco It surpassed every banquet ever
glvfn In tho city.
Tho expectations of those In chargo of
tile affair were fully realized tonight, for
when the banquet began thcro was not an
empty scat In tho hall. Thcro wot A about
:;0u pcoplo In tho gallery throughout tho
entire evening and almost ns many more
occupied scatH on the main floor, of which
number over COO participated In tho banquet.
Tha Idea of holding tho banquet In on
auditorium, whllii moro or less of an Inno
vation, proved very popular, a fact which
vos attested by tho unprecedented attend
ance. Another remorkablo and unusual fea
ture of tho affair was the presenco of a
luigo number of women at tho banquet
tablo and In tho audience. Tho scene was
rtlll furthor enlivened by tho presence of
nearly 200 students from tho Stato univer
sity, most of them mcmbors of tho recently
organized llayward club.

quet was held for two reasons first, to
awaken Interest In tho campaign about to

rcrpect to tho eminent visitor from New

troduced Governor Woodruff ns the cholco
of tho west for tho republican vice presi
dential nomination.
Governor Woodruff spoko ns follows:
Mr. President and Gentlemen: In prompt
response to your generous Invitation 1 am
here to participate with you in opening tho
rnmpalgn which Involves not only the elec
toral voto of Nebraska, but tho political
complexion of the representation to which
It Is entitled In the senate of tho United
States. 1 am glad to como to the capital of
Nebraska from the capital of New York on
n iHilltlcal mission. As Nebraska Is the
central state of the union, so should It bo
the keystone of tho national republican
nreh, the foundations of which rest securely
upon tho enduring republicanism of tho
stntes to the east and tho west. Ah the
couise of empire In Us westward sweep has
spanned tho continent and this great stato
of vours has becomo the center of the In
dustrial life of tho nation, and hns even
named Its capital In honor .of tho republican
president who prevented tho secession of
the states of tho south from the union, you
should bo the last of all the citizens of the
republic to participate In tho secession of
any of tho states of tho north from tho
republican party.

this banquet, under the auspices of the

Itself an Inspiration.
In physical proportions and features two

It, however, was reserved for McKlnlcy to
finally heal the breach by appointing to lm

Speech by .Vorrl Drown.
The speech of Governor Woodruff was en
thusiastically received by the audience.
Hon. Norrls Brown of Kearney was next
Introduced. Ho opened by saying that it
was Imposslblo for any ono to say assuredly
what tho next democratic platform would
be. He nald that when ho was a boy tho
democratic platform meant frco whisky and
later the -same platform frco transpor
tation. After referring to a number of In
consistencies and contradictions In former
democratic platforms tho speaker drew con
clusions ns to the text of tho next platform
from tho utterances of present democratic
leaders. Ho said tho platform would say
that American commerce must not expand,
that Dewey was nn enemy of civilization,
when every one knew that ho was tho de
liverer of tho oppressed.
"It Is safe to say," he said, "that tho
democratic platform will say exactly what
It doon't mean nnd mean exactly what It
does not say.
Tho democratic platform," he added,
tlonal debt was reduced $260,000,000, and
that during tho administration of Cleveland
It was Increased nearly as much. He com
pared tho prosperous conditions existing
under republican rule to tho conditions ex
isting under tho "democratic reign of ter
ror" and promised that Nebraska could' do
relied upon In fho coming campaign to fall
Into ho republican column nnd to do Its
share In bringing nbout a national republican
victory.
Governor Shnw SpenUs.
The speaking program closed with the ad
dress of Governor Shaw of Iowa, who re
sponded to tho toast, "Whero Shall We
Draw the Line?"
Governor Shaw opened by calling atten
tion to tho fact that tho democratic party
from tho day tho protocol wns signed, which
ended hostilities between tho United States
and Spain, had sought n battleground for
the campaign of 1900. The terms of tho
protocol had left tho future disposition nnd
control of tho Philippine Islands to n com
mission of llvo Americans and five Spaniards,
which lod many to believe that It was not
tho Intention of tho president to demand
tho cession of the archipelago, and the
democratic conventions, In several states
protested against tho release of tbo Islands
and demanded tho retention of all territory
over which American valor had hoisted tho
stars and stripes.
Ho reviewed tho nttcmpt to mnko a na
tional Issuo out of tho conduct of tho war
and tno treatment of tne soldiers, and "em
balmed beef," and called attention to tho
fact that for a whllo It seemed ns though
republican papers and republican orators
wero In lino to glvo assistance. Ho dls
cussed the treaty of Paris and tho demo
cratlo effort to sccuro its ratification that
nn antl-expanBlon Issue might be forced
and again republicans, both In congress and
out, Joined In tho opposition. After tho
treaty was ratified and tho Islnnds becamo
tho property of tho United States, then antl
Imperialism became tho cry, and qulto n
respectable republican contingent Joined In
manufacturing ammunition for tho enemy.
Ho spoke of an effort now being mado to
force a national Irene out of tho details of
an economic measure for supplying rcvc'
nucs for Porto Itlco. He did not commit
himself as to tho wisdom of tho details of
head and Bpicatl all over her scalp, face,
and forehead, forming one mass of sores.
You can rcalizo how much sho must have
suffered, when sho scratched at times till
tho blood ran intermingled with water.
Our family doctor's treatment proved
ineffectual, ns tho disorder, instead of
abating, developed more. We then
stopped all medical treatment, and coin-
, menced with Cuticuha Remedies. Wo
used tho Cuticuua Rr.soi.vr.NT, Cuti
cuiia Ointment, and CirncuitA Soap, all
ouiuuui, uuu Btiu was eiuuury I'liiuu.
Mrs. E. RUTLKR,
the bill, but congratulated the country that
It scorns likely to bo settled speedily and
for all time, that the United States Is as
much a nation as any other country that
occupies ft position on the map of the world,
and that It can, If It chooses, acquire terri
tory, and congress can legislate for It as It
pleases. Preliminary steps can be taken
looking to Its future admission Into tho
union, or plans can be devised for Its fu
ture Independence. These ultimate ques
tions ho thought might safely bo left to bo
determined after more Information Is ob
tained and In the light of future develop
ments. He called attention to the effort now being
mado by the democratic party to force us
Into tho position taken by thnt party dur
ing tho discussions which led to tho war of
tho rebcllon, when It was contended that
tho United States could kcqulro territory
for no other purpose than for admission
Into tho union as states, and whatever was
acquired passed under tho wing of the. con
stitution. Ho said If they should force us
to this position and scttlo thi question now
that our Insular possessions shall ultimately
bo admitted ns states Into tho union, they
will doubtless bo able to reinforce their
ranks on tho nntl-cxpanslon Irsuc. Ho
thought tho question now pending In con-
greFH was not whether tho tobacco and
sugar merchants who now hold tho products
of Porto Mco In warchouso shall pay 15 per
cent of tho Dingloy tarlfT, tho samo to bo
appropriated for tho relief of tho farmers
who produced tho same, and who have been
compelled to sell at prices dictated' by theso
speculators, but whether In fact tho United
States possesses the Inherent power to do
whatover Is deemed wlso and expedient and
to mnnago Its nowly acquired possessions
for tho Interest of the people thereof In any
matter not expressly prohibited by tho con
stltutlon.
Wood rn (I'm Opinion,.
When asked today what ho thought of the
probability of republican ruccefs, Mr. Wood
ruff said:
"Thcro can bo but ono result If tho dem
ocrntlc party natlonnlly adopts n nlatform
similar to tho ono adopted by tho Nebraska
democrats last Monday night. Tho ones
Hon of frco silver nlone will defeat any
party that espouses It.
"Wo In tho east look upon tho democratic
platform as absolutely absurd. Wo con
slder that tho ono plnnk dealing with
Bryan's self-styled Imperialism contains
three propositions, and they cannot bo har
monized with ono another. It says first
that tho Filipino must havo a stable form
of government, second, completo Indc
pondenco, and third, that they must have
tho protection of tho United Stntes. These
most familiar with tho natives of tho Phil
lpplno Islands assert that they nro abso
lutely unfit for self-government. They are
no moro capable of exercising this right
than was the American Indian n century
ago. They cannot possess completo Indc
pendence and a stable government nt the
samo time. It Is preposterous to assert
that we apply tho Monroo doctrine to these
Islands In another hemisphere and sep
aratcd from us by thousands of miles of
water. Tho Islands nnd their inhabitants
camo to us ns tho logical result of tho
Spanish-American war. Wo cannot turn
them back to Spain. We cannot turn them
over to tho natives. Tho only course for
us Is that being pursued by tho present
administration,"
Concerning tho Porto Mean tariff bill Mr.
Woodruff said:
"I am of the opinion that the people of
tho cast coincide with thoso of tho west
In tho conviction that absolute freo trade
Is -what tho Island should have. I think
they should suspend Judgment, however,
until they aro better Informed. I bcllevo
tho president and congress will deal with
the question In tho best possible manner."

ranging In ago from 14 to 17 years old.
As soon n3 court convened Stnto's Attor
ney McCreary asked that tho witness, Miss
Eva Stewart, tako tho stand, but sho being
absent the bailiff was ordered to see that
the was brought Into tho room. Meantlmo
Dr. W. H. Lynn gavo his testimony. He
had been called In August and September,
1S97, on a professional visit to prcscrlbo for
Viola Horlockor, who wns suffering with
severe pains In the head. In tho spring of
1808 ho wns again called to prcscrlbo for her
when sho was ngaln suffering from a great
pain In tho head. She said she was In tcr- i
rlblo agony and that ho must do something
for her. The physician gavo her a hypo
dermic injection of morphine.
Dr. Lyman also said ho saw tho defendant
at her homo on April 22 Inst. She was
again suffering with tcrrlblo pains In the
bend. Ho had seen her two days before sho
left In June; he had also seen tho defend
ant since sho returned the last time and
said she was moro calm and much better
new than sho appeared last June.
UlnpoKlllitn of Defcniliint.
Mrs, Anna Sparger had obsorved the de
fendant's moods In October, 1898, nnd told
how excited nnd flighty Miss Horlockcr ap-
loiirtu hi nmcs wncn in ner store, sno naa
noticed a mnrked change In tho defendant
between the tlmo of October, 1898, and Feb
ruary, 1899.
County Judge Ilowen had resided In Hast
ings twenty-nine years and wns Intimately
acquainted with Captain Horlockcr and had
known tho defendant from childhood and
had never heard one word against her.
Dr. John Cooke testified to having been
called to tho law ofllco of Tlbbots & Moroy
two different times during the summer of
1S98. There was a vacant staro out ot her
eye, pupils dilated and face was (lushed.
State's Attorney McCreary then moved
that all testimony of Miss Eva Stewart ic
fcrrlng to ntjy conversation with tho dc
fendant nt or nbout Christmas time of 1898
bo stricken out for tho reason that the same
was lncompotent and hearsay. Tho court
said that the motion was sustained, The
stato's attorney then moved that all tho
testimony of W. A. Franklin relating to the
conversation he had with Viola Horlockcr
about getting married be also stricken out,
becauso ho considered it incompetent and
hearsay. This was also sustained,
A rcccFs ot ten minutes was taken.

somotlmen despondent. At nights sho would
often llo and moan for hours and cry out
with pains which shu claimed camo from
her head. When iho would nrlse In the
morning she looked haggard and would say
sho could not stand such pains much longer.
Mm. Duel wns also housekeeper for Mr. and
Mrs. Hayes In Lincoln and again In Hast
ings nnd had occasion to observe tho de
fondant's demeanor. About two or three
weeks after Mr. and Mrs. Hayes returned

or three dayu after that she showed signs
of Insanity. About Christmas time, 1898,
i Viola came to tho Hayes home and was In
tears. When asked by Mrs. Iluel what was
i tho matter she said that sho had a secret
In her heart which was killing her. A
week later Mrs. Duel was Invited to the
Horlocker homo and all tho tlmo Viola was
getting dinner sho was crying, but would
glvo no causo for It.
