"Wiien a populist tells
Tim Keliher will carry
you that
Lincoln
county by 300 majoritr, tou
can
rest assured that that populist
whistling to keep up his coun
is
and that such an assertion is only
a bluff. Sir Timothy iust at this
time is not resting easy.
The morning edition of the
Omaha Bee has been enlarged to
twelve pages, thus giving its read
ers a Greater amount of news. The
Bee is a crreat newspaper and this
last move is in keeping with the en
terorise which that iournal has
a.
shown for a number of years past.
J. Li. Minor is producing consia
erable evidence these days to prove
that Dr. McCabe and George Wil
liam Dillard are not democrats, but
on the contrary are pops of the pop
piest variety. We are not informed
as to what the latter ffentlemen
think of Mr. Minor's brand of dem
ocracy.
If the voters of Lincoln county
desire "an up-to-date teacher for
county superintendent, they will
cast their vote for Miss Bertha
Thoelecke. We venture the broad
assertion that never in the history
of Lincoln county have the voters
had an opportunity to cast a vote
for one so well qualified to fill that
position.
Bryan and his friends are mak
ing tremendous efforts to hold Ne-
braska in line. A republican victoy
in that state this year would be a
hard blow to Brvan's prestinre. Of
W w
course if Henry George should carry
New York in the present municipal
canvass he- would be the logic;
candidate in 1900 of the element"
which put up Bryan in 1896. whether
Nebraska goes republican or popo-
cratic this year. Bryan, however,
is too shrewd to fear that George
will be New York's next mayor.
It is very easy to discern by a
perusal of the Era that the nomina
tions made by. the republican coun
ty convention are not relished by
Mr. Cheyney. He recognizes that
the ticket is an exceptionally strong
one, but he attempts to disguise
this knowledge by plays of sarcasm
and that which he considers wit.
To him it is paintul to concede that
populist administration o county
offices will come to a close early the
part of next January, and he is
keeping up as bold a front as possi
ble, Reports from the country pre
cincts are to the effect that the re
publican nominations are excep
tionally yc received. Not only
are the republicans pleased with
the nominees, but a considerable
number of populists have an
nounced their intention of support-
in a- "part or all ot the republican
ticket. All those favoring an hon
est and economical administration
rnitnrr affairs should cast their
J1 WWMt-J -
vote for the republican ticket.
Populist papers never tell an un
truth at least that is what they would
have us believe, therefore the charge
of the Independent newspaper
of Lincoln, which is the state organ
of the populists, must be believed
wheu it says that of the eighty-one
occupants of the state house all but
one ride on railrod passes. Dear
populist irieudswhat do you think
ot that? Isn't that reform (?) with
a vengeance? Do you think the
democratic or republican party was
ever so corrupt as the populist
party has grown to be? Are you
not proud of your state officials,
who are nothing less than, the
pwichuieu of the railroads? Let us
weep.
"What does Governor Holcomb
intend to do about it? The official
bond of State Treasurer Meserve is
the subject of this important ques
tion, a question now upon the lips
of almost every tax-payer in ihe
state. On all sides it is admitted
that the bond is rotten. It is also
known that Governor Holcomb per
mitted Joe Bartley to hold office
under a similar bond and in the
face of the fact that Bartley was
$350,000 short. Now the people of
Nebraska are wide awake. They
demand that the governor do something-
in the line of his duty besides
drawing his salary. At the outside
limit the bond ot Treasurer Meserve
is not good for more than S250.000.
Does the governor of Nebraska in
tend to permit the pop party to gp
into the fall's campaign handi
capped by this fact? Lincoln Call.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
Lincoln Cnll.
iJlAifeeifllorhiolcomb knew
the Bartley. bond was not jrood
when he approved it, and he al
lowed Bartley to make way with the
state funds when he could have pre
vented it.
That Governor Holcomb knew
the Meserve bond was not good
when he approved it. It contained
upon it the signatures of men who
were alread' on the Bartley bond,
as well as on state deposit bonds,
and who were worthless on any
bond.
That many of the men who qual
ified for enormous amounts on the
Meserve bond are now notoriously
bankrupt, aud a suit on the bond
to-day could not recover one-quarter
of the amount pledged.
That Governor Holcomb does not
desire and does not dare to make an
investigation of the Meserve bond,
but meddles with helpless institu
tions or runs away from the state
on junketing trips to divert public
attention.
That Auditor Cornell is follow
ing in the footsteps of Eugene
Moore and is failing to turn over
to the treasury all the fees of his
office.
That Edmisten, the chairman of
the populist committee, by a trick
has defrauded the state of tour aud
one-half years interest on his school
land in Dawson county (nw 3 35-12-21)
and still holds the land.
That Jim Dahlman, chairman of
the silver democratic committee,
who holds down a fat jcb on the
board of transportation, found it
convenient to go under an assumed

That Frank Ransom, chairman
of the free silver republican com

GREAT DROUTH IS BROKEN.
Downpour of Rain In Several'States Proves
a Godsend to the Farmers.
Chicago, Oct. 12. Rain is falling
generally today throughout the parched
belt of the western states and the long,
disastrous drouth has at last been
broken. Reports from Kansas, Iowa,
Nebraska, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas
and Minnesota show quite general rains
are still falling, -with indications of
continuing dnring the next 24 hours.
The rain in Nebraska is the first of any
consequence that has fallen for six
weeks, while Kansas is receiving her
first wetting for two months.
The drouth just broken has, for se
verity and wide area of country affect
ed, never been equaled in the period,
covered by authoritative record in this
this country. Crops have suffered, fruit
lias been blasted, fires have leaped up as
if from spontaneous combustion in field
and woodland and every moment of the
time since the middle of August has
been crowded with danger to cities.
Farmers have been hauling water for
their stock evon buying the fluid in
many sections of the country. Many
small towns throughout the country
have suffered severely from fire.
Conservative estimates place the re
duction in acreage of winter wheat at
25 per cent. Thousands of acres
throughout the affected districts have
not even been ploughed, the ground be
ing in such a condition as to render
farm work next to impossible. To
stock raisers the rain is a godsend.
Pastures which have been dried up for
weeks will be available once more.
Weather bureau officials said this aft
ernoon that indications point to a con
tinuance of the rainfall for 36 hours
more.
SHEEP CAMP IS ATTACKED.
Four Killed In a liattle IJtrccn Settlers
and Shepherds.
Pocatello, Ida., Oct. 13. News has
just been received from Long valley,
in "Washington county, that there has
been a battle between the settlers and
the shepherds, in which four men were
killed and one dangerously wounded.
It seems that 15 of the settlers warned
the sheep men to leave the valley, and
when they refused made au attack upon
the sheep camp. Thirty shots were
fired by the settlers, and a man named
Barber was killed. The sheep men then
returned the fire, killing three of the
Bettlers. The rest of the attacking par
ty fled. . The trouble is tho outgrowth
of strained relations between tne set
tlers and sheep men.

PLEADS FOR LUETGERT'S LIFE.
iATryer Phalen "Makes Sensational Charges
In Address to Jury.
Chicago, Oct. 14. Tho usual mad
rush for Judge Tuthill's courtroom fol
lowed immediately after the doors of the
criminal court building were opened to
day. Attorney Phalen opened" the ar
gument to the jury on behalf of the de
fense. "If this case had been submitted
to the jury when the state closed its
evidence, I verily believe a verdict of
not guilty would have resulted at once,"
declared Attorney Phalen. "The evi
dence of the prosecution came from in
timidated witnesses,who perjured them
selves," he asserted, with emphasis.
Police persecution and intimidation
percolates throughout the entire case.
The chain of circumstances about which
Mr. McEweu has said so much is com
posed of distorted and fragmentary bits
of perjured evidenco so wholly contra
dictory and unreliable that no jury
composed of sensible men can for a mo
ment give it credence."
Une ot the incidents or the session
-was the appearance in court of Luet-
gert's two little Eons. The lads had not
been in court for several weeks. They
climbed upon their father's knees and
he fondled them while Attorney Phalen
orated. Assistant State's Attorney Mc-
Ewen approached Judge Tuthill and
quietly objected to the children being
conspicuously exhibited before the jury.
Judge Tuthill ordered that they be sent
to seats removed from the one occupied
by their father.
POSTPONE IMPORTANT CASES.
Action of Court Strengthens Belief Justice
Field Will Retire.
"Washington, Oct. 14. The belief
that Justice Field is seriously contem
plating early retirement from the su
preme court bench has been strength
ened by tho postponement of several
more important cases until the first
Monday in January. Among these
were the suits involving the constitu
tionality of tho antitrust law of Texas
and several cases appealed from the
court of private land claims dealing
with Spamsh land grants. The post
ponement in the Texas cases are made
up on the statement to the court by one
of the attorneys that it involves a con
stitutional question rendering it desira
ble, that it should be considered by a
full bench.
Tho chief justice in consultation
with members of the bar makes no
direct reference to the probable change
in the court's personnel, but his man
ner and the fact that he insists upon
the postpenement of important cases
leaves little room for doubt that he is of
the opinion that there will be a change.

Pittsburg, Oct. 14. The organiza

Kuockn Out Eight-Hour Iatr.
Topeka, Oct. 14. Judge Wells of the
Kansas court of appeals has xendered'a
decision which, several lawyers declare,
practically renders the 8-hour law in
Kansas a dead-letter. A contractor
named BiUingsley,in doing a job for Mar
shall county, worked his men 10 hours
a day and then made a claim for two
hours extra, which the commissioners
refused to pay. Judge Wells holds that
in working Tiis men over eight hours,
Billingsley not only subjected himself,
but tho commissioners to a criminal
rjrosecutipn.

Strew Flowers on Parnell's Grave.
Dublin, Oct. 12. Sunday was the
sixth anniversary of the death of Charles
Stewart Parnell. Five thousand na
tionalists paraded the streets to the
bleak Glasville cemetery, where they
heaped high the grave of their famous
and lamented leader with flowers
brought from all the counties of Ire
land. The demonstration was unique,

strictly a funeral character ; but in ac
cordance with the decision of the lead
ers, that of Sunday was divested of all
the trappings aud the signs of woe and
convertecLinto a triumphal procession
lively national airs replacing dirges.

Corn of Good 'Qualify.
Omaha, Oct. 10. Definite figures on
the crop, yield of Nebraska for the season
of 1897 arc as follows ; Wheat, 83,844,
637 ; corn, 229,907,853 ; oats, 69,389,853
Probably the most satisfying feature of
tho situation is tho quality of the corn
crop of this year. Last year's crop was
immense in quantity, but very poor in
quality. Tsot above 25 per cent of it
would come into the shippiug grade.
Of the present crop above 90
per cent will grade up to tho high
est demand. What is true in this re
spect of corn is also true of the other
grains. The quality of ihe wheat crop
is prime, bringing the highest price on
the market. Oats has far exceeded the
August estimate, and the quality is ex
cellent. MORGAN PAYS DEATH PENALTY.
3Inrdererof Ida Gaskill Hanged at County
.Tail In Omaha.
Omaha, Oct. 9. At 11:33 a. m.
George Morgan, convicted of the mur
der of Ida Gaskill, was hanged at the
county jail.
Morgan died without making a con
fession of the crime or denying his
guilt.
Nov. 3, 1895, Ida Gaskill, aged ll.was
criminally assaulted, and during the
assault was strangled to death. Her
lifeless, torn aud desecrated body, hard
ly cold in death, was found about six
hours later in a vacant and dilapidated
house at 1804 Half Howard street.
The search of the police resulted in cast
ing suspicion upon George Morgan. The
police proceeded to Morgan's room and
there found what they considered, and
which has since proven, indisputable
evidence of Morgan's guilt. His cloth
ing was stained with blood. A dozen
or more witnesses had seen him about
tho vacant house where the body was
found at various times dnring the fatal
Sunday afternoon.

REPLY TO SALISBURY
SURPRISED AT THE DECLINATION
GREAT BRITAIN,
OF
Stnt Tipnartinent Suceests a Conference
Between Great Britain, the United
States and Canada Japanese Delegates
En Iloutc.
Washington, Oct. 13. Secretary
Sherman has written a reply to the
note ofLord Salisbury expressing Great
"Rritfiin's dpnlination to tako oart m a
"Rprnrirr !fa. nnnfereuce in which Russia
and Jamn arc to participate. The cs
scntial features of Mr. Sherman's reply
have been sent by cable and the reply
in full is now on its way to the British
officials. Lord Salisbury's note of
declination, it can now be stated, bore
fljitp. nf Of. (5. so that the response is
made with promptness. The answer
states that the United States govern
ment views with astonishment tho de
termination of Great Britain not to
participate in a conference including
Russia and Japan and tho statement is
made that nt to the 23d of last month
the United States authorities had fully
expected the conference would proceed
with Russia and Japan and Great Brit
ain. It is pointed out that aside from
the written correspondence to which
Lord Salisbury had called attention,
there wero verbal negotiations between
Ambassador Hay and his lordship, in
which a fmecific reference was made to
x
tho participation of Russia and Japan.
McCann has filed in Judge Talty's
court an answer to tho suit brought by
the city against William H. Appleman,
McCann's client, for personal taxes for
the vear 1894 and 1S95. The defense
set up by McCann is virtually the sin
gle tax theory and this is tho first time
it has been pleaded in this country in
such a case. It is called the "bill of
rights defense" and is based on the bills
of right clause of the Missouri constitu
tion. A number of suits for personal
taxes aro pending and Mr. McCann
proposes to resist payment of them all
on this ground.
At one of these verbal exchanges it is
said Lord Salisbury said ho would advise
with the officials of the foreign office
concerning the subjects discussed,
which included the particilation of
Russia and Japan. Subsequently, on
July 29, Ambassador Hay wrote to
Lord Salisbury saying the president
hoped to have Russia and Japan parti
cipate in tho conference. In view of
these circumstances tho United States
had expected that Great Britain would
take part in tho conference and that
Russia and Japan would be represented,
with tho approvid of Great Britain.
In the meantime preparations for the
conference between the United States,
Russia and Japan are proceeding. The
Japanese delegates who are now en.
route from San Francisco, have decided
to stop over two days at Chicago.
SPAIN'S REPLY IS READY.
Unable to Fix Exactly the Date When the
War Will End.
Madrid, Oct. 13. It is semiofficially
announced the reply of Spain to the
note presented by tho United States
minister, General StevardL. "Woodford,
has been drafted by the minister for
foreign affairs, Senor Gnllon, and will
be submitted to the cabinet at its meet
ing tomorrow. The reply, it is stated,
will say that Spain will be unable to
fix exactly the date when the war will
oe over, but the ministers are pursnaded
it will not be long, because "tho situa
tion of tho rebels is critical, and the ef
forts of the Spanish troops are sure of
success. Owing to the rebel situation
and the concession of autonomy, ad
ministrative and ecomomic, which will
be effective before January, the govern
ment hopes actual hostilities will finish
shortly."
Spain, it Is continued, thinks tho re
forms and the activity of the Spanish
troops are sufficient elements to secure
the immediate pacification of the island,
which, it Is asserted, "would have been
more rapid if the rebels haduot had the
succor of filibusters, who, under tho
shelter of the American flag, have con
tributed to maintain this state of af
fairs." Halt Is Called In Itigorotis Ittcthods,
Madrid, Oct. 12. With the excep
tions of tho Conservatives, who persist
in courting Weyler, a majority of
the press and public opinion approve the
new government for gazetting yester
day the decrees recalling Weyler and
appointing Marshal Blanco governor of
Cuba. The minister of war telegraphed
the Transatlantic company to postpone
the departure of the mail steamer to al
law Blanco to embark tomorrow with
his numerous staff. Twenty thousand
men, reinforcements, will follow in No
vember. The minister of war also tele
graphed Weyler to embark immediately
after handing his command over to
Marquis Ahnmada. General Lilares
and all high civil officials and the prin
cipal lientenauts of Weyler are
to be replaced promptly. The
government telegraphed to cease in
stantly all severities and the rigorous
methods of warfare practiced hitherto.
Blanco cannot begin his reform policy
before the middle of November. Mili
tary operations will continue directly,
if fiue weather permits, against the iur
surgents if they aro not disposed to suh
init on hearing of tho contemplated re
forms and a reversal of1 the policy of
the last two years.
