HASTINGS. Nob.. Oct. IS. (Special.)
Tho announcement In last night's Hastings
Dally Republican stating that it had changed
Us polltlcnl views and that henceforth it
would support llryan and the entire fusion
ticket wus anything but a surprise to the
people In this community, and Is taken more
us a huge Joke than anything else. Tho
truth of the matter Is that that paper has
never been looked upon or counted as a
truo exponent of republican principles, for
ever etneo Its birth In this city It has been
on the flop and has nearly as many chauges
to Its credit as there were colors In Joseph's
coat. Tor the last two years u uas Dcen
owned and controlled by 1M Watklns, a
llryan democrat, who has had his brother,
Frank, oftlclato rs editor In order to secure,
republican patronage. The exact amount of
money that the fuslonlsts had to put up to
have the Republican Hop is not known, but
it Is known that a World-Herald reporter
came here yesterday for tho express pur
poso of wiring In the laborious editorial
that had been prepared by the fusion man
agers to appear In last night's paper. Its
attack on Charles Dietrich. shows the fallacy
of tho scheme, as Frank AYatklns, whose
narao appeared at tho bottom of the article
announcing the change, hus always. In prl
vato and public, stated that Mr. Dietrich
was one of tho cleanest and best men ho
hsd ever known, and Editor Watklus thinks
tho same today, but he dare not say so since
tho paper was bid in by the fusion machine.

ISSUES BEFORE THE PEOPLE
IMirnnl lloseirntcr Delivers r Speech
to n l.iirw Audience nt
Orleans,
OKLEANS, Neb., Oct. 18.(Speclal.)
Hon. Edward Rosewatcr and Mayor Moores
of Omaha addressed the citizens of Orleans
Tuesday evening on the political Issues of
tho day at the city hall. There was a large
and appreciative audience. Mayor Moorcs
spoke briefly and whs followed by Mr. Rote
water, who for two hours spoke on the Issues
of the day. It was the ablest address on tho
money and Philippine question yet delivered
nt this place. He called for those who
doubted his arguments to ask questions and,
although many representative popocrats
were present, not n question was asked or
n murmur made. His hlstor of the money
question from remote times to the present
furnished as able, Insurmountable and log
ical arguments as could be produced. He
showed up the heresies of the so-called
"John tho Ilaptlst Coin Harvey" of silver
fame and his disciple, llryan. This address
showed deep research, scholarly finish and
was full of unanswerable facts. His address
on tho paramount question of Imperialism,
cinched with facts, backed by historical and
official dsta, was convincing, He read clip
pings from the democratic papers of 1854
that abused and viltned Abraham Lincoln as
an Imperialist, Just as they are hurllug epi
thets at McKlnley today for upholding the
dygnlty of the nation nnd honor of the flag,
The heresy, "To govern without the consent
of tho governed," was proven fftlso argu
mentproven by the Louisiana purchase,
the ceding of Florida, Alaska and tho Sand
wich Islands, by court decisions nnd every
historical data of American and general his
tory, by International law, by reason nnd
common sense. Ho proved that llryan was
willing to accept tho electoral vote of North
Carolina without tho consent of tho gov
erned tho dcfranchlscd blacks. Mr. Rose
water's speech was an Intellectual treat and
popocrats listened with rapt attention. He
made many friends nnd his address will do
much good for McKlnley and the cause.

Colonel E. It. Ilutchlns of Iowa spoke nt
this place Monday evening and at Merna
last night and left this morning for the
eastern part of the state. The colonel's
speeches at tho above points will long be
remembered by nil who heard him and In
both Instances all who -ould' get within
hearing had that pleasure. No one has over
given moro satisfaction In a political speech
than has the colonel. His gift of oratory Is
of tho highest character and ho deals with
tho Issues so convincingly that In every
place ho goes he Is a vote-getter. He has
done much good In this section. His per
sonal knowledge of the Philippines enables
him to absolutely destroy the position of
Hryon nnd hU party on this question. The
colonel will remain In tho state nnother
week and will do great good.

NEHAWKA, Neb.. Oct. 18. (Special.)
Only about 300 people gathered In the school
houie ball last night to hear the fusion can
didate for congress, O. W. Ilcrge of Lin
coln, tell why the prophecies of the tri
partite party In 1!00 will all como true, when
tho prophecies of thnt same party In 1896 all
enrao out false, und Incidentally ask the
peoplo to remember him on election day.
Tho audience was composed mostly of repub
licans, who gave tho speaker a respectful
hearing, Just as the people of this town give
to all speakers of any party who may wish
to address them, but there was little np
plauso and practically no enthusiasm. Bcrgc
gavo tho usual explanation of the failure of
democratic prophecies of four years ago,
talked about the revolution of 1776 and com
pared Agulnaldo to George Washington. He
put In a halt hour scoring E. J. Durkett, his
opponent on the republican ticket, for not
meeting him In Joint debate. He wanted
people to watch nnd see whether Hurkett
would declare himself.

MARQUETTE, Neb.. Oct. IS. (Special.)
Colonel E. R. Hutchlns spoke last night
to a crowded house In Farley's hall. Tho
hall was filled with a mixed audience of
republicans, democrats and populists, who
listened with great attention to the colo
nel for one and a half hours. His manner
of handling tho trusts, "paramount" Im
perialism and expansion was most logical
nnd convincing. There was an entire ab
sence In the speech of any uttcranco that
would tend to offend adherents to par
ties of opposite faith. Fair-minded pop
ulists admit that the address was mas
terly In every particular. Tho republicans
of Marquette and vicinity have reason to
feel greatly encouraged over the outlook.

wholly from Hryon, even to his latest
political conundrums. He said that when

Issues were discussed by IMe Burnett
of Wllbcr for one hour and a half and

vincing arguments they had ever listened
to. Two men, who said they had been
populists In the past, said that they were
going to vote the republican ticket this
fall. Mr. Burnett Is doing much good In
our county In this campaign. This pre
cinct, where he spoko last night, has
been one of tho strongest populist neigh
borhoods, but they expect, and present
Indications are, that a great change will
show up In November.

The Filipino prisoners all tell us that thev

that If llryan is elected the troops will all

everything their own way. I ll tell you.

It It wnsn't for this; but as long ns they

This lu a nice country. Whenever things

showing the fallacy of the opposition argu
ment that wo cannot annex territory with

If It be true, as Joseph Jefferson said
in a before-thc-curtaln speech In New
York recently and who will deny that the
greut dean of the American stage Is en
titled to speak with authority on any
subject connected with tho drama that
tho first aim of tho author and his cu
laborer, tho actor, should be to umusc
their audiences, then It must be conceded
that "The Ameer" Is fulfilling tho mis
sion whereto It has been sent. Last night
the largest audience of tho Benson saw
Its Initial production In t Ills city and, If
one may Judge by the hall marks of ap
proval with which tho unfolding of the
piece was accompanied, It was most ac
ceptable to that critic which sits In Judg
ment upon every new work and from
whose decision thee Is no appeal the
public.
Eliminating the glamor of the lights, tho
sheen and shimmer of silken garments,
the fresh nnd attractive faccB with which
tho stage is filled for the larger part of
the time, the musical settings and the
more than gorgeous scenic Investiture
wlilcb havo been bestowed upon this new
work, It would be a sorry figure. The
book is not overly bright, tho plot Is as
diaphanous as the draperies worn by the
handsome chorus girls, there - aro but two
or three lyrics one would care to hear
a second time, and the words of the cho
ruses are remarkable only for mediocrity.
But all this Is hidden under a veneer of
kaleidoscopic coloring which effectually
buries Its inherent weaknesses from tho
sight of the fortunato theater-goer who
attends only to be amused and whoso
critical faculties are lulled to sleep by
the sensuous, dreamy music and the gen
tle rustling of satins, The stage man
ager, tho scene painter and the costumer
have mado "Tho Ameer" what it Is.
Without them It would havo been a dreary
thing; with them, it Is ono of the most
radiantly beautiful productions ever Been
In Omaha.
But there Is one thing about the piece
that Is so commendable that It must not
bo passed over In silence, and that Is the
entlro absenco of moral uncleanness and
suggestive words or situations. From
the time the curtain rises on the first act
until It falls on the last not a syllable
oven Is spoken to which tho most fastid
ious can object. Tho humor Is quiet and
delicate, the lines, though sometimes
they come dangerously near being dull,
have no double meaning and there Is a
daintiness In everything that goes for
ward on the stage that bespeaks refine
ment and an unwillingness to help out
a weak situation by recourse to anything
risque. For this Messrs. Lnnken and
La Shelle deserve tho thanks of every one.
Musically speaking, the opera falls be
low somn of Victor Herbert's earlier works.
It docs not stem to be so much In Keeping
with the oriental character as was tho
mut-li! to -;hlch "The W lN.ro of tho Nile"
was set. Thero Is nothing In It to Mtggcst
the locale of the action of the play, and It
would have been equally as appropriate
had tht scene of tho story been Manches
ter, England, or Hackensack, New Jersey.
There aro two lyric gems, two others that
aro fair, one good topical song and ono
other that Isn't good. Tho choruses are
not remarkable In any way, though will
average up fairly well with those In sim
ilar works where the composer muBt turn
the score over In a given time, so that re
hearsals may begin on the date that has
been set,
Mr. Daniels, although not at his best last
night, was as unctuously funny as of vors.
He Introduced somo rather striking sar
torial effects, sang Just enough to show
that he can't sing, even a little bit, In
dulged In a few colloquies with other peo
ple on the stage, and made a curtain
speech, Helen Redmond, handsome, stately
and looking ovcry Inch the American girl
eho purported to be, song and acted ad
mirably well. Norma Kopp, dainty, win
some, piquant nnd petite, was intlrely fat
Isfactory In tho rolo of a friend to the
American girl. Kate Uart's deooUmont of
Mlrzab was well done. Other members of
the company were adequato and the chorus
failed to show any signs of comnolency
durlng tho entire performance, The stage
settings and tho costuming are very hand
some,
A most welcome Innovation last night
was tho absence of the candy salesmen,
hawking their wares up and down the
aisles during the Intervals between tho
acts, If Manager Burgess has decided to
remove this entlrelunncceBsary nppen
ago of his playhouse and let us hope
that such Is the case ho will deserve (and
receive, the thanks of every one who bo
lleves that the commercial sldo of the thea
ter should be confined to Its box office.

stato Is nothing now, yet In this county It Is
one of the young Industrie), this being the
second season that anything has been done
on an extensive scale. Emerson Bros, have
300 acres JUBt west of Monroo which Is de
voted exclusively to crops grown for the
seed. They raised several varieties of water
and musk melons, cucumbers, squash, pump
kins nnd corn. They are Just now very busy
with their harvest and nro advertising on
ovcry hand for help.
One of the best paying articles In the seed
lino Is the black Hubbnrd squash. Several
farmers In the vicinity have experimented
this season with those squash und have made
n very handsome profit out of the business.
Thomas Hill of Monroe township planted
seventeen ncrcs of black Hubbards nnd will
hnrvest nbout 300 pounds of seed to the acre.
For this seed he will receive 12 cents per
pound, or a return of J3fi per acre for the
crop. This Is moro than fifty bushels of
wheat at 60 tents, or Is equal to 100 bushels
of corn per acre nt 35 cents per bushel. In
addition to selling the ccd he can find a
ready market for tho hulls of the tquash
after tho seed Is extracted nt from Jl to
$1.2" per load. These hulls ae largely In de
mand for feeding cattle, hogs and sheep.
Tho A. J. Knollln company of this city ex
perimented lightly with these squash for
sheep feeding last season nnd the result was
that this season they put In twenty-seven
acres.

of sweet corn, which will go from forty-five
to slxtv bushels to tho acre. This corn ho
has contracted at SO cents per bushel, and
