KKARNEY, Neb.. Dec. 1. (Special.)
Judxe B. O. Hosteller yesterday defin
itely announced to a company of hia
frienda that he will not be a candidate
for the republican nomination for governor.
For a number of weeks there has been ! ton-
more or less dlscusalon of Judge llos
tetler as a possible candidate, the firat
rumora coming from the eastern part of
the state, and the subject being taken
up by a number of hla fellow cltUene. The
matter finally reached a head yesterday
when he was called upon at his home In
Kearney by a deputation of republicans
who were desirous that he should be
come a candidate. The matter was pre
sented as strongly as possible, but no
stronger than the sentiment that had
been expressed by many citlsens durlnj
the hurried canvass.
Judge Hostetler stated In reply, that
the use of his name ha been entirely
without his knowledge: that he had
neither Inspired or encouraged It, and he
could not sec his way clear to becoma
a candidate at this time, no matter how
encouraging the outlook might be. II
stated that his work upon the bench
.as In line with his profession; that he
enjoyed It and was satisfied with such
honor and emoluments as the Judgeship
rought him.

Debt Twenty Years
Old Grows Some
AURORA. Neb., Dec. 1. (Special.) -
When a man has to pay a debt that is
twenty years old he finds It has grown
some. The case of Farley against Cox,
over a note signed by Cox In 1S96.
has just been decided by Judge Corcoran
in favor of the plaintiff. The original
note was $112 and the judgment Is almost
$5fl0. Cox signed this note and borrowed
the money In 1895. He then left the atate
and has never returned. He lived In Iowa,
Illinois, Kansas and Texas. His attorn
eys claimed that the statute of limita
tions of the state of Kansas had run
against the debt, but the court found
otherwise. TJhe Nebraska statute of limi
tations doea not run while a debtor is
cut of the state. Since the statute of no
other state had run it did not run in Ne
braska, under this decision.

Prof. Conklin spoke at the convention

said Mrs. Blair, "The 'Infusion of now

"There is really no such thing as a

people of mixed blood. There la no loom
In a democratic country for race snob

only one who can lay claim to being a
true American.
"If was prbably the aristrocraty of
property which caused the Quakers and
riigrlros to become known as the first

are quite as ood stock. But if It li tr.ie
