Keith, a committee on resolutions.
and the committee reported as fol
lows: Whereas. The republicans of Lin
coln county are" favorable to the candi
dacy of the Hon. Wm. McKinley for
president of the United States, there
fore be it,
Res lved, That the delegates to the
congrc-sional and state conventions be
and are hereby instructed to use all
honorable means and efforts to secure
the election of delegates to the national
convention at St. L uis, whose first and
last choice is for Wm. McKinley. And
be it further,
Resolved, That we endorse the out
spoken and courageous support given
the candidacy of ex-Gov. McKinley by
our junior senator, John M. Thurston.
And be it further,
Resolved, That we reiterate our al
legiance to the principles of the protec
tion of American labor !nd recprccity as
always maintained by the republican
party.
Upon motion, ft committee was
appointed to select twenty-two
names from which to elect eleven
delegates to the state convention.
The committee reported, and the
following delegates were elected:
Baldwin, Iddings, Elder, Sorenson,
Hill, French, Warner, Hoagland,
Wilcox, Shaw and Keith.
As delegates to the congressional
convention, the following were
elected: Elder, Baldwin, Wilcox,
Iddings, Patterson, Warner, Stew
art, Seeley, Johnson and Hawkins.
The convention then adjourned.
Why McKinley is so strong with
the people is neatly told by Beatrice
Times. Here it is: "McKinley is
both tlie man and the platform.one
and the same, indivisible, concrete,
and in the abstract; that is
what makes him strong. You
remember before the whirl
wind of 1892 the democracy
preached that high tariff was the
cause of every ill or want or disas
ter that happened to mankind in
the United State, and McKinley
was the apostle thereof and de
manded Ma change, a change, with
thousands of tongues and pens.
The change was made and the
crash came. Now the farmer that
held his wheat for low tarrif
policy, and S2 per bushel, and the-
workingman that flew the track be
cause his dinner pail was to cost 5
cents more under the McKinley
tariff law, are both for McKinley
and tariff; for the one has sold his
l -a
wneat at less man a aoiior - per
bushel, and the other has no grub
to put in a -nickel pail even.

tilles, I can recommend them to the public.

one and. a half boxes of your medicine has done

ATTEMPTED MTJBDEB!
Bud Markley's Cowardly Attack on Captain
Norton. Hurls His vicum. mio a .Burn
ing Lime Kiln.
This community will be startled
to hear of an attempted murder, in
which the well-known Bud Markley
and Cant. Norton of the United
Sta'tes regular army, were partici
pants, and which came near result
ing in the tragic death of the gal
lant captain in a manner horrible
to contemplate. The captain who
has been visitincr friends here for
some weeks, has incurred the
enmity of Markley, who is a lime
burner, engaged at the Kilns at
Rocky Cliff. The Captain strolled
out to the cliffs yesterday and dur
ing his walk appeared at the spot
where Markley was at work. As
both participants in the struggle
that followed their meeting are
silent as to what led up to it, ac
curate information upon this point
cannot be given. It is known.how
ever, that hot words passed, and a
struggle ensued at the edge of the
cliff and just at the mouth or open
ing of the kiln, into which the lime
stone is dumped. Markley's super
ior strength and brawn, proved too
much for the captain, and after a
terrific hand-to-hand fight the burly
lime burner forced the officer to the
pit's opening and hurled him into
the fumes and flames below.
The providential manner ot his
escape and the subsequent flight
and capture of Markley, will be de
picted in a vivid and startling man
ner, when Katie Putnam and her
company appear at Lloyd's opera
house next Saturday night.in C. T.
Dazey's thrilling comedy drama.

BOWMAN & YOUNG'S MINSTRELS.
"Always get the best," quoth
Lord Bacon and as near as we can
learn he practiced what he preached.
Bowman & Young have always fol
lowed in the foot-steps of that re
nowned persOnasre, as far as the
organization of their minstrel com
panies is concerned, for they have,
without a doubt, always had the
best, and strictly the best of artists
with their various amusement en
terprises; hence their wonderous
success, of which all the world has
heard. There is not a minstrel per
tormer of any note but what has
traveled under this banner, and
that point alone is proof positive
that the Bowman & Young enter
tainments have always been the
best; but that is known by every
one, and so there is hardly anything
that can be said in praise of this
great company beyond that it is up
to its old standard. The minstrels
will be at Lloyd's opera house Tues
day, April 14th.

What if they are? Just at present,

tor a measurement of men and
methods by a strictly American
standard. Old men are all right, but
not because they are in. favor in
Europe. Piatt and his friends
