Bogota is the capital of the United States of Colombia, which country held Panama in subjection till tho rev olution last week. It is situated quite a distance inland, and in a mountain ous country. All tho several states in the federation, of which Panama was one, were ruled from that pity. The trouble, therefore, means striking at the very seat of government. A telegram to tho News tells of tho finding, near Petersburg, of tho dead body of Halleck Garder, a well-known farmer. He was found dead in his granary Monday morning. Garder was aoout 35 years old, and no causo for tho death is known. The coroner from Albion was summoned. The dead man nau Deen an Habitual drinker, it said. An Explanation. Under tho glaring headlines "Du plicity of Jtidgo Harrington Facts Come to Light Which ProVo He Ac cepted a Tree Railroad Pass," the Al liance Grip of last week had the fol lowing to say in the most prominent part of tho paper. The following let tcr received from Judge Harrington is self explanatory and no comment is ne cessary. Tim IIukald editor called Judge Harrington's attention to the Grip's charge by request of republi cans of this city who supported him and desired to know if the charge made by tho Grip, which is as follows, were true: "Prior to the recent election Judge J. J. Harrington issued a personal let ter to many of the voters that ho was under no obligations to any of the rail road companies not having received any free transportation and that he had paid out in railroad fares during the past four years about 1,200. Never tho less it is a fact that he accepted and still holds Burlington Route pass No. 747 for tho year 1902, hence it will be seen that the judge was not sticking very closely to the truth in sending out his appeal to the voters." In reply to tho Grip's charge the judge writes ns follows: "I am in receipt of your letter of the nth instant enclosing a clipping from tho last issue of the Grip charging that I am tile holder of a pass on the Bur lington railroad. I regret that when the campaign is over falsehood must stilt bo met. I trust that the editor has been imposed upon and has not been prompted by malicious motives. L never have traveled on a pass in my life upon any railroad. When I was first elected tho Burlington rail toad sent me a pass and I promptly returned it. Notwithstanding this refusal the' have sent to me in common with other judges since that time annually a rail road pass. These passes have been also promptly tcturncd. But my dear O'Kccfc there is a very simplo way for these pcoplo to prove this charge if it is true. Any man who 1 ides on an an nual railroad pass has to sign his name on a slip of paper every time he rides on the trajn. These slips give the number of the pass and the signaturo of the man who carries the pass and these slips are sent to the headquar ters. Tho Grip man is closo enough to the Burlington railroad to get posses sion of one of these slips if such a thing exists. Now, I will give him JSiooo if he will produce one of these slips bearing my signature, and, waiv ing the question of my signatiue even, I will pay him Siooo if he can prove I ever traveled a single mile on a Bur lington railroad or upon any other rail road on a railroad pass. These facts are well known to the ticketv agents thtoughout this district from whom I regularly purchase them. I have always been a constant advo cate of the doctrine that no public of ficial should accept a pass or other fa vor from any corporation. I do not claim that a public official should bo prejudiced against these corporations. He should receive no iavors from any piospectivc or actual litigant. He should be' absolutely free to act in each case free from all outside influences and guided only by his conscience, his judgment and his knowledge of the Jaw." is Lester Wiley and Donald McDon aid, aged 14 and iG respectively, of York, skipped out Saturday, leaving no word as to where they were going. It has been learned since by parents that they had about $4 between them. Both are bright young lads and it is generally supposed by all that they will return home when their gives out. money The Union Pacific railroad is going to try a new scheme is the manner of disposing of its unsold lands. In fact it is going into the colonization busi ness with millions. It is said tho rail road intends to open for settlement a part of the 'railroad lands in western Nebraska, Kansas, eastern Colorado and all of Wyoming. Possibly normal sums will be asked of the settlers, but tho plan, in the main, is practically the same as that adopted by Jamas J. Hill in the northwest two years ago, with gratifying success. The Union Pacific still has 4,500,000 acres open, for settlement. Senator Dietrich of Nebraska has been called before the federal grand jury at Omaha to answer to the charge of dealing out postoffices in violation of the postal department and .for his owri pecuniary benefit. Tuesday afternoon the grand jury began the investigation of the charges, which have been spread broadcast, to the effect that Postmaster Jacob Fisher of Hastings was required to give his note to Senator Dietrich for 1,500, prior to his being recommend ed hy the s-' .ator for postmaster. Be fore the grand juy adjourns it will in vestigate at isast two other cases of a similar nature. Valqntine Ho,rati, a butcher living in Omaha, 1vak instantly killed last StnV day while attempting to board a North western train in Chicago. Horan lost his footing arid fell under the wheels of the second coach. He was formerly employed in the Union stock yards by Libhy, McNeill & Libby. While out hunting Walter Adair bf Decatur was shot hy his brother, Clyde, who was carrying the gun cocked and it wrs accidentally dis charged. The load entered Walter's side. Wc walked some distance to his home, where his injuries were attend cd. He is in a serious condition. Clyde Miller, a young man who was to have been married to Miss Anna Syangler of Nebraska City backed out at the last minute after the guests were all present and the minister waiting. Miller refused to assign any reason for his act, and jt is supposed ho simply became nervous when the hour ap proached. Tho young woman whom ho was to have taken to thorltaris prostrate over the affair and it is feared that she may lose her mind. Two farmers in the vicinity of Rush ville met death last Saturday while in a state of intoxication. The body of Carl Fisher was recovered ironi Rush creek. He had started home and in driving along the bank of the creek the wagon overturned and he was dragged into the water. Patrick Burke, while on his way home from Hay Springs, fell with his neck across the endgatc of the wagon in such a manner that he was strangled. A -smooth appearing, well dressed man giving hi3 name as Walter Dresser surrendered himself to Sheriff Bauman of Fieniont Monday nfternoon and told him that he was an escaped convict, from the Iowa penitentiary at Anatnosa and had two more years to serve of a five year sentence for criminal assault. He said he had become tiled of evad ing officers and wanted to go back and finish his time. 'Hie Iowa authorities were notified of the case. (HIfMt9Mn ten! BOX BUTTE. ( NEBRASKA STATE ITEMS.
