MODIFIED "IOWA PLAN" IN DIS
TRIBUTING PATRONAGE.
HOW TO SECURE HMONY
Senator Hitchcock and Democratic
Congressmen of Nebraska Will
Get "Together for Consul
tation. A Nebraska modification of what
was onco known as tho "Iowa plan"
in tho handling of federal pntrouago
matters has been suggested by Sena
tor Hitchcock says tho Omaha World
Horald. It has been agrood to by
thoao who by vlrtuo of their official
positions will naturally have a volco
in tho handling of Nebraska's share
of tho ofllco that will bo at tho dis
posal of tho incoming national admin
istration. These include, beside Sen
ator Hitchcock, tho throo democratic
congressmen, Representatives Ma
guire, Lobeck and Stephens, Dr. P. L.
Hall, the national committeeman, and
Chairman V. H. Thompson of the
democratic stato committee. Tho es
sence of tho plan Is consultation and
agreement with a view to united and
harmonious action that will result in
a fair and equitable distribution ot
patronago.
As originally proposed by Senator
Allison, and put Into operation by the
Iowa republican delegation a good
many years ago, tho plan worked very
successfully.
Senator Hitchcock's mall has been
Very heavy since election with lettere
of applicants for federal appoint
ments, and a number of aspirants
havo personally called upon him. For
the most part tho applicants seek tho
position of postmaster in the various
towns. In most cases tho terms of
tho presont holders do not expire for
a year or more, but the anxious appli
cants' evidently tako tho ground that
early action is both wise and neces
sary. Senator Hitchcock has adopted the
plan of merely acknowledging tho ap
plication with assurance that all
claims will bo fairly considered by
himself and by others naturally or of
ficially entitled to a voice in passing
upon applications. To bring about
harmonious 'action ho has proposed to
the three democratic congressmen, to
Dr. P. L. Hall, national committeeman,
and to Hon. W..H. Thompson, 'chair
man of the stato committee, a plan of
consultation and cooperation on pat
ronago matters, in lino, with the
"Iowa plan."
For tho present, applications w,IH
bo merely received and filed, and de
cisions will not bo reached until the
time pnmwi to fill vacancies. Then
the aim will bo to unite In making the
propor recommendations to tho presi
dent. Under this plan tho three demo
cratic congressmen will naturally
havo the chief voice in settling post
ofllco questions, each in his own dis
trict, while those in republican dis
tricts will bo decided on consultation.
Requisition Honored. -Governor
Aldrlch has honored a
requisition from the governor of Iowa
for tho return of William C. Gott,
alias William C. Gotz, to Council
Bluffs, la., on tho charge of bigamy.
Ho Is alleged to havo married Loretta
Danahey at Council Bluffs, la., Sep
tember 28, when ho had a wife living
from whom ho had not been divorced.

Inspection of Prison Horses.
Following a sanitary Inspection of
several penitentiaries and reforma
tories ot western and coast states, J.
E Munay has" returned to Lincoln
with an array of ideas relative to
changes which may bo suggested for
penal and reformatory institutions of
this state. Mr. Murray mado the trip
ct his own expense, but was commis
sioned by Governor Aldrlch to visit
the Institutions of tho various states
lor tho purpoBoof gaining points on
Banltat'on piobloms. Mr. Murray says
he found Nebraska far behind many
other states.
Tralnor Loses Out.
The supremo court of Nebraska
overruled tho motion for a rehearing
in tho caso of Tralnor against Iloctor,
a suit brought by tho former mayor of
South Omaha against Thomas Iloctor,
tho present democratic executive.
Tralnor claims that under tho stato
law passed by tho last legislature, ex
tending the term of office, ho was en
titled to tho place, but the supremo
court reversed and hold that slnco he
had voluntarily relinquished tho placo
ho could not becuro relief in the court.
The Socialist Vote.
Returns from twenty one counties of
tho state will have to aggregate more
than tin over have before, as far as
thr coctullst vote is concerned, if tho
total state vote of that party oxcoeds
its otQ of laat year. Tho seventy
one counties that havo thus far re
ported to the secretary of state show
that there were B.G79 socialist votes
cast this yoar. Last year there wero
30,cn cast on railway conimlBsIonor.
Four jears ago thuro wore 3,534 votes

SET FREE TWICE BY PAROLE
Document Proving Fact of Imprison
ment Proves Later to Be Valuable
to Soldier From Illinois.
A parole from a southern prison!
proved vnluablo in frooing a northern)
soldier from furthor imprisonment In!
a Union gunrdhouso nnd from possl-l
bio Incarceration In the Alton pent
tontlnry, where deserters wero sent!
How tho parole was obtained nndj
used Is told by Henry Strong, who!
was a member of tho 03d Illinois
regiment. Afterward Mr. Strong help
ed prevent a delivery of prisoners at(
Camp Douglas, Chicago. '
"At tho battlo of Big Black river
May 17, 1SG3," said Mr. Strong, "Gen
eral Shermnn's division wns in posl
slou at the top of tho hill. The battlo
opened early In tho morning and be
fore tho end of tho day tho ConfedoiM
ntos made throe charges up tho hill;
and wore drlvon down every tlmo.
fjpwas not long before a rebel buk
lot took mo In tho Bhouldor, nnd dowrt(
I tumbled. Tho firing was going on
fnst and I rolled down tho hill into w
little ravine, whore I wns protected
from tho shots of both sides. All
about were men lying dead or dying.
Then camo tho charge ot tho Con
federates. The men climbed tho slopef
bolow tho ravine, under tho fire from
our lines, and passed across and un
the farther slope, trying to take the
hill. I lay still, pretending to ba
dead, as tho charge swept among tho
bodies in tho ravine. On thoy went
up the hill lntoour fire. They could
not stand It for long, and here theyi
came back again, crashing down the
hill, wild oyod, yelling, screaming.
Onco 'moro thoy passed through the
ravlno among nnd ovor tho dead nnd
living bodies and stumbled down the
slopo boyond, whllo I pretended to be,
a corpse
"Our men were victorious there and
tho division at tho hilltop was moved!
on to another part of tho battlefield.'
Lato In tho afternoon, when there
seemed to bo no ono near by, I start
ed to hunt up my regiment, but bofor
I had got far I was captured by a
stray detachment of Confederates.
They took me to Vlcksburg and putf
vie in prison thoro, and I stayed in the
prjson for about twQ weeks. About
the 1st of Juno I was paroled and sent'
ncroBS tho river to tho Union forces,
whoro I Joined my. regiment. A)
month lator Vlcksburg surrondored.
"Whllo I wns in tho hands ot th
Confederates I had an uncomfortable
oxperlonco. In the roll down the hlllj
Into tho rnvlno I had lost my hat, and.
so whon I started to hunt up my regi
ment I picked up tho cap that somo
Confederate soldier had dropped, and
I was wearing It when I waB captured.
Just because of that I was accused of
being a spy and of trying to pass my
self off as n southorn soldlor. I gob
out ot that all right and my Imprison
ment at Vlcksburg did me one good
turn.
"Aftor I had readied my regiment I
was sent back home to Neponsot, in
Bureau county, Illinois, where I had
been tho first man to voluntoor for
tho war, though my brother, who nlso
lived there, wns a southern sympathiz
er. 1 had boon at homo only n short
tlmo whon a government agent enmo
there and arrested me on a charge of
being a deserter from a MlEsourl
regiment. I was nrrested under tho
namo of Homy Stono or Strang I
could never llnd which and was tak
en to St. Louis and put In the gunrd
houso nt Benton bnrrncks. There I
stayed two weoks without being able
to get anybody to look Into my caso.
At the end of thnt tlmo I got word
with an officer of tho barracks and
Identified myself by means of tha
t jinrolo from VlokRhurx irln Ltifc-
lly I had kept It In my pocket or I
might novor havo got out of tho
guardhouse "
