Carrie Nation returned last Saturday
from her trip to Scottsbluff and went

point to give the crowd at the depot a

pear. Under the new order of things, it
has been necessary for the county clerk
to publish the list of candidates for

cialist and prohibition.

and silver-tipped deer heads were re
ceived last Tuesday by F. B. O'Connor
from his sou, Martin, of Livingston,
Mont., the result of a hunting trip and
the unerring aim of Martin's eye. The
elk head occupies a conspicuous place
iu the Brenuan drug store and is the
attraction of hunters who see in the
head the reflection of what must be
great hunting in the wilds that sur
round Livingston.
Gov. John A, Johnson of Minnesota
was renominated for the same office
yesterday by the democratic state convention.
From the Center of Things.
(JontliuMl from iv 4)
tor, ignoring all olher callers and asking a
hundred questions about Jackson, and
about his visitor's experiences. The old
gentleman is a veteran of the Mexican and
Civil wars. He went away carrying a
cane cut on the Hermitage grounds (or
Mr. Bryan, and he i today the proudest
man in America.
"What a wonderful experience is cover
ed in his span ot life," said Mr. Bryan,
referring to the visit.
Mr. Bryan has completed the tariff
speech which he is to deliver at Des
Moines on August it, and is working on
other speeches Now that the notifica
tion is over he expects to have more time
to devote to his work, the rush of visitors
showing a falling oil. It is not yet decided
that he will visit the Pacific coast. Mr.
Bryan is bent upon remaining at home as
much as possible during the campaign,
but the pressure brought to bear on him
(or speaking dates is something terrific.
Senator La Follette spoke before the
Epworth Assembly at Lincoln on notifica
tion day, anil during his speech paid a
high tribute to Mr. Bryan, which brought
a great shout of applause from the 12,000
people in the huge auditorium. Senator
La Follette handed out a lot of "lemons"
to his republican colleagues. While here
he refused to discuss his own availability
as a presidential candidate in 1912.
Richard L, Metcalfe, who is compiling
the campaign tevt book for the committee,
expects to have the copy ready for the
printer before August 20, and the printed
book will be ready for distribution by
September 1.
Havelock, a suburb of Lincoln, is the
site of the big Burlington shops. There is
a Bryan club in Havelock that has more
active members by seventy-five than there
are registered democratic voters in the
city. It is claimed that there are more
republicans in the Bryan club at Have
lock than there are in the Havelock Taft
club. There are over 400 republican
members of the Lincoln Bryan club.
Early this week a poll was made to three
different organizations in Lincoln, and
over three hundred men asked to express
their political affiliations and choice for
president. Of the entire number only five
declared for Taft, although one-third of
the number are republicans, These are
straws which may serve to show the trend
of the pohcical wind, especially in Ne
braska. The report that Chairman Mack has
received $300,000 that was left over from
the 1904 campaign is denounced by.liimas
a silly lie. The Hearst organs seized upon
the report to intimate that some of the
predatory interests were backing Bryan,
and bad used this as a subterfuge to hide
their contributions. The national com
mittee, instead of carrying a surplus over
from the 1904 campaign, had in reality a
deficit, which was taken care of by gener
ous members. The Hearst story is bound
to react upon the perpetrators.
When Mr. Bryan heard that the Okla
homa republicans had denounced his ap
peal to the people for campaign contribu-
tions as ' undignified," he smiled and said;
"Well, I am of the opinion that it is better
to be honest than dignified,
After having made a reduced rate to
the Nebraska state fair the last of this
month, and refusing to grant a reduction
to Lincoln on notification day, the rail
roads have heard something. They grant
ed a reduced rate to Cincinnati when Taft
was notified, but refused Lincoln's request
on the ground that they had to conform
to the 2-cent fare law. As the same law
obtains in Ohio they were convicted of in
sincerity. Now they have served notice
that the reduced rate to the state fair Is
withdrawn. All this is not at all likely to
injure democratic chances in the west.

7 HAT SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR.
The rioting resulting in the killing of
eight people in Springfield as a result
of the race war which occurred in that
city last week, and which was only
suppressed by the presence of fifty-five
hundred armed soldiers, furnishes much
food for thought to the thoughtful citi
zen. Had this race war occurred in
the south there can be no doubt but
that there are some who would have
attributed the lawlessness of the rioters
to an inherent animosity and hatred
for the negro. But when the people
in the capital city of a great prairie
state of that portion of our country
known as the Central section engage in
deadly warfare with the negro there
can be no reasonable ground for the
charge of sectional feeling. To what
then can we charge such lawlessness?
Surely not to the ignorance of the par
ticipants. Amougst those who patrolled
the streets of Springfield, bent on the
sacrifice of human life, were men of
culture and refinement, men who were
determined that blood should flow in
order to show to sensuous brutes that
the person of a virtuous woman is a
sacred thing, more sacred than the
law than life itself.
No one can condone the action of
the mob; no one can but deplore that
American citizens could so far disrepect
the laws as to disregard them. The
grand jury will indict, and the courts
will punish muny of tho guilty ones
implicated iu the rioting. It is the
only way the law can protect society.
Had those responsible for the rioting
determined on bringing to justice in a
legal way the inhuman brutes, whose
fiendish crimes are responsible for the
affair, there would have been at least
two victories; the victory of law over
lawlessness, and the victory of man
over his primitive passions.
A Peculiar Accident.
Ben Swauson, who resides about
twenty-five miles west of Alliance, re
turned this afternoon from South Om
aha, where he marketed two cars of
cows and steers. Mr. Swanson re
ceived Sj.35 for the cows ami J4.35
for the steers. They ware sold by
Tagg Bros. A peculiar accident oc
curred on the way to market. When
the train reached Halsey two tramps,
who were stealing a ride, notified the
trainmen that one of tho cows in Mr.
Swanson's lot had broken through the
flooring and was dragging along on the
tracks. The trainmen released the
critter from its periliotis position and
it struck across the field as soon as re
leased. Then the .hoboes were ordered
off the train. This smacks somewhat
of ingratitude.
INAUGURAIEDJN CHURCH
New Governor of Colorado Conclude
His Address with Prayer.
Denver, Jan. 9. Itov. Dr. Henry A.
Buchtel, chancellor of Denver univer
sity, was inaugurated as governor ot
Colorado, and for the first time In tho
hiBtory of the stute tho inauguration
took place In a church. Iu deference
to the governor's wish tho oath of of
fice was administered to him and h
delivered his inaugural address to tua
legislature In Trinity Methodist Epls
copal church, which he aided largely
In building while he was pastor ot that
congregation. The governor concluded
his address with a prayer, followed
by tho Lord's prayer, In which many
of tho audience joined. About 2,500
persons attended the Inaugural cere
monies, tho church being crowded.
FollowhiK tho Inauguration the gov-
I ernor and other state officers were es
corted from the church by a military
and civic procession.
Governor Buchtel devoted tho great
er portion of his address to the ques
tions of railway legislation nnd educa
tlon. (n treating the former ho said
that the weak and Impracticable parts
of tho national law referred to In
Prosldent Roosevelt's message to con
gress must be omitted from Colorado.
Nothing would be done to drive cap
ital away from Colorado, but Instead
everything would be done to luvlt
both capital and people to tho state.
A BURGLAR'S STORY.
Told by an English Thief In tho Lan
gujga of Thieves.
Some time ago there uppeured a
somewhat curious book, "The Auto
biography of a Thief In Thieves' Lan
guage." A glossary Is provided for
the benefit of those whose unfortunate
Ignorance of the predatory classes may
j render such, aid necessary
From one of the anecdotes related It
appears that honor among thieves Is
Dot ulwuys to be found.
"One day." says the writer, "I went
to Croydon and touched for a red toy
(gold watch) and red tackle (gold
chain) with a large locket. So I took
the rattler home at once. Wlieu I got
Into Shorediteh 1 met one or two of
the mob, who said; 'Hello! Been out
today? Did you touch?'
"So I said 'Usher' (yes). So I took
them in. and we all got canon.' When
I went to the fence he bested (cheated)
me because I wus drunk nnd only gave
8 10s. for the lot. So the uext day 1
went to htm, and I asked him If he
was not a-gotng to grease my duke
(put money Into my hand).
"So he said 'No.' Then he said, 'I
will give you another half a quid,' and
said, 'Do anybody, but mind they don't
do you.'
"So I thought to myself. 'All right,
my lad, you will, find me us good us
my master and left him. Some time
after that affair with the fence one of
the mob said to me:
"'I have got u place cut and dried.
Will you come and do It?'
"So I said: 'Yes. What tools will
you want?'
"And ho said, 'We shall want some
twirls and the stick ((crowbar), ami
bring a Neddie (life preserver) with
you.' And he said, 'Now don't stick
me up (disappoint); meet me at 0 to
night.' "At (5 I was at the meet (trystlng
place), and while waiting for my pal
I had my daisies cleaned, and I piped
the fence that bested me go along with
bis old woman (wife) and his two kids
(children), so I thought of his own
words, 'Do anybody, but mind they
don't do you.'
"He was going to the Lyceum thea
ter, so when my pul came up I told
him nil nbout It. So we went and
screwed (broke Into) his place and got
thirty-two tiuld and a toy and tackle
which he had bought on the crook
(dishonestly). A day or two after thU
I met the fence who I'd done, so be
sold to me, 'We have met at last.'
"So I said, 'Well, what of that?"
"So he said, 'What do you want to
do me for?'
"So I said, 'You must remember you
done me, and wheu I spoke to you
about It you said, "Do anybody, but
mind they don't do you." ' That ibut
him up." Loudon Tlt-BIU.
