something that does not suit his taste,
but he does not get up and kick the fat
all over the fire and tell the hotel man to
“stop his hotel."

The agricultural editor of the Port
land, (Me.) Express, thus answers a
correspondent who wanted to know
how to keep his neighbor’s hens out of.'
his garden: “Dear Correspondent:
Take a lot of small, stiff cards about
one by two inches, write on them
‘Please keep your old hen at home.’
Tie a short string to each card with a
grain of corn at tin ether tod of the
string, and scatter them where the hens
congregate. When the hungry biddy
gobbles up the grain that draws the
prize, she follows up the string, stowing
it away until she comes to the card.
Then she will pull out for home, carry
ing in her mouth your polite request.

modes and millinery that are shown in
its pages are new in design, and of

regarding feminine apparel will be found

Not alone to fashions, however, is the

Ponca Journal: Because Donald Mc

no one can tell where be is or even
whether he is alive, yet we have every
faith to believe that it will not be long
before a bridge over the Missouri at.
this place will be built. Not a bridge
of Ice, but a good solid railroad bridge,
built by the Milwaukee company, and
that over it a branch of their road will
enter this state. The Milwaukee com-:
pany is desirious of participating In !
carrying business of Nebraska and there
is no point on the river where as desir
able a crossing exists. That company is
aware ot the excellent place for abridge,
and whether Donald McLean has dis
appeared forever or not we believe
makes but little difference, ultimately,
with the building ot the bridge and the
road across it. We hope the Milwaukee
company will make this important move
next spring, in fact we have hints that
it will do so.

A telegram mi received by Mayor
Gillespie laat Friday morning announc
ing the death of W. H. O’Neill at Lin
coln that morning. Mr. O’Neill was a
son of John O’Neill, of this city, and
the remains were brought to this city
for Interment. The funeral was held
from the Catholic church last Sunday
morning, and was largely attended by
friends mid relatives of the deceased.
Deceased was about 98 years old and
was well hnown in this city, where he
lived for several years. An inquest was
held and the coroner’s jury decided that
he came to his death from a rupture of
of the lungs. The following account of
his death is taken from the'Lincoln
Call:
*'W. H. O’Neill, a switchman, em
ployed in the Burlington yards In this
city, came to his death at an early hour
this morning in a sudden and rather
mysterious way. O’Neill came to this
city a week ago Wedneeday and secured
employment as switchman in the Bur*
lington yards. He stopped at the Boyd
hotel.
"He worked up to yesterday when be
'laid off to take the medical examination
for admission to the Burlington Volun
tary Belief association. He was put
through a thorough examination and
pasted successfully. Yesterday after
noon O'Neill met Jesse L. Morrison, a
railroad man, who came here looking
/or work, and who resides in Oreston,
Iowa, O’Neill found that Morrison was
'broke,' and asked him to take snpper
with him at the Boyd hotel. Morrison
accompanied him to supper. About 8
o’clock O’Neill retired to room 40, and
told the night clerk to show Morrison
up to his room when he got ready to go
to bed, as he was going to stay all night
with him. There was both a bed and a
cot in the room, and O’Neill took the
cot.
“When Morrison came to bed at 9
o’clock, he found O’Neill lying on the
cot reading. They had some conversa
tion, after which O’Neill dropped off to
ileep. He had not removed hiaahirt,
pants nor socks, but Morrison says he
did not pay any attention to thetas
fsilroad men often sleep with their
jgtathes on, especially when crowded
with' Work as at the present lime, and
liable to be called at any moment. He
noticed the covers were off of O’Neill,
and he went over to his cot and replaced
them. He then retired.
“O’Neill had left a call with the night
clerk for 6 o'clock, as he was going to
work this morning. The clerk came up
at that time and called him. He came
into the room, shook O’Neill and asked
him if he was going to get up, to whioh
he replied in a sort of mumbling way
that he would not get up. The clerk
then left him. At 7 ;80 Morrison arose
and dressed. While lacing np his shoes,
O’Neill called to him and requested
him to hand a pair of socks o him from
a bundle. Morrison started to leave tbe
room without doing so, forgetting his
request, when O’Neill called him back
and again asked tbe same question.
Morrison asked him why be wanted
another pair of socks, as he had a pair
on, to which O’Neill replied that he
wanted a clean pair. Morrison left him,
and O’Neill’s last words to him were to
be sure and tell the night clerk to let
him (Morrison) have hia breakfast. The
night clerk was not-in, and Morrison
came un to town where he met another
friend and took breakfast with him.
“About 8 a. m. J. H. Buckley, another
railroad man and a friend of O’Neill’s
came to the hotel to see why he had not
come to work. The clerk told Buckley
O’Neill was still in his room, and at 8:10
Buckley went up to bis room and found
him dead. Buckley returned and told
the clerk, who would not believe him
until he saw for himself. Bockleyhad
also taken the relief examination yes
terday and failed to pass. The coroner
was notified and the remains were taken
to Roberts’ undertaking rooms. There
were no marks on the body to indicate
any foul play, and Coroner Holyoke
was at a loss to account for his death.
“O’Neill was not well known here,
having been here so short a time. He
was known as a quiet fellow among the
railroad men, with no bad habits, not
being a drinking man. Nothing is
known as to whether or not he is mar
ried, tbe only remark he having made to
anyone concerning his relatives was
that his father lived at O’Neill, Neb.,
where he runs a hotel. A telegram was
sent to O'Neill accordingly.
“Coroner Holyoke impaneled a jury
at 11 a. m., and an inquest was held in
Roberts’ undertaking rooms. The wit
nesses were Jesse L. Morrison, Jack
Riordan, day clerk at the Boyd, F. E.
Fibert, night clerk at the Boyd, and J.
H. Buckley. Their testimony was
about as above related. The jury will
render a verdict at 4 p. m. An examin
ation of tbe brain will be made to
ascertain, if possible, the cause of
O’Neill’s sudden demise.”

Lincoln, Neb. Not. 6, 1897.—Hpecial
Correapondence: Aa I write, now four
days after election, the capital city ia
■till rife with gossip aa to Juat what waa
the reault, and aa to how and why it
waa ao.
Retnrna are not yet complete from the
ninety countiea in the atate, but enough
la known to determine that the fusion*
lata bare loat more than halt thair
majority of one year ago.
If you oomputa from the bead of the
tioket, then Holcomb’s lead of nearly
98.000 a year ago ie cut down to about
10.000 now. If you compute aa between
the presidential electors then and the
regents now, we hare the fusion major
ity redjiced from about 18,000 then to
about 5,000 now. To that extent a lack
of confidence ia voted against the silver
doctrine in Bryan’s state and to that
extent the fusion state administration ia
rahnkAfl- ^
Not only in thla lack of confidence
voted against Bryan and free silver In
his own state, and not only is the slate
administration rebnked before it is a
year old, bnt the loss to the fusionista
in county offices shows that even in the
■mall place the professional reformer ie
not able to hold the confidence of the
people. Republicans have made mater
ial gains in the court houses.
The rebuke voted against Bryan
and against the state administration is
emphasised when it is considered that
this is Bryan's home state, that this Is
the first year of the fusion slate admin*
iatration, and that both Bryan and the
state officers at the lut made the most
feverish and energetic campaign ever
put up in this state in an off year.
The governor with the other state
officers and nearly all the deputies and
under officials abandoning their offleial
positions and hurrying from town to
town and from school house to school
house during the last three weeks before
election, probably had. the effect to
increase the fusion vote but I don't
believe it had the effect to increase the
reaped which the public had tor these
mini. *■
Never before did e governor beg go
bard for an endoreement. Never before
did presidential candidate, nab so
frantically from town to town among
the people of hie own state in an off
year with his party in power at the
state house. Mr. Bryan seemed to rea
lise that his cause in Nebraska needed a
stimulant and the state administration
throughout seemed to realize that It
needed defense.
In Omaha, where Mr. Bryan's effort
reached the hysterioal stage, seven
speeches in one night, the result was a
heavy loss to the fusion state ticket and
a complete .victory for the republican
county ticket.
Looking back now over Bryan's ttail
the vote in the localities where he spoke
shows that his efforts injured rather
than helped his cause.
In 1800 Mr. Bryan was first elected to
congress and at once commenced his
career as the hero and manipulator of
both the populist and democratic parties.
It is worth the while now to make note
of what has happened to these two
parties in Nebraska since then. Then,
as indicated by the state election vote
on the head of the ticket, the democrats
had 71,000, the populists 70,000 and the
republicans 69,000 votes. Since then
Mr. Bryan has had a career in congress,
has had a career as presidential candi
date and has become thi national leader
of both democracy and populism.
On last Tuesday these 71,000 demo
crats of 1890 and the 70,000 populists
now combined into one party, under the
leadership of Bryan, stood up against
the 69,000 republican party of 1890 and
defeated it by 5,000 or 6,000 votes.
The 69,000 republicans have grown
into 100,000, while the 141,000 demo
crats and populists have shrunk into
105,000, or a bare majority over the
republicans.
There seems to be a general opinion
here oot only among republicans, but
among populists as well, that had it not
been for the defalcations of Bartley and
Moore, republicans would have easily
carried the state in this election. It
means that the fusion ticket was barely
elected because Bartley and Moore de
faulted, and without these defaults this
election would have been a complete
route for Bryan and Bryanism in
Nebraska. It means that the charges
which have been published against this
state administration in the last few
months are accepted by the public as
true, and that the public, while unwill
ing to pass by republican defalcations
without rebuke, was also unwilling to
endorse this preeept state administra
tion or to cast a vote which would seem
to deny the prosperity which the Mc
Kinley administration has brought to
the people.
It means that with republican default
ers punished through the instrumentality
of republican courts and the party
surged from the stain which thcw
lefaulters have pot upon it, and that
irith a state ticket of clean men selected
>y a free and untrammelled republican
itate. convention, the people of Nebras
ta in their next state election wiU ; f
hasten to express their confidence in the '
republican party, in the McKinley, \
idmlnlstration and their final farewell '"’ftp
to Bryanism in finance and to sham * ;
reformers in state government. : ' i
The truths which have been ottered ":
iialnst this state administration remain -
rad will remain. The recount fraud is ,
aot condoned, the straw bond frauds '
ire not condoned and the people have
aot lessened their contempt for the antl> I
railroad pass grabbing, junketing popn-ip'H
list hypocrite. The republican state f
committee from its meager resources
bought tickets for its public speakers, ft.
for suoh men as Judge Field, nhUe an
army of such blatherskites as Mqte
galloped over the state on free passes

Sometimes men and women sat to*
gather in festive gatherings; someth^as
the sexes were separated, but each
received equal attention. A clave .
stationed behind each gneat waa ready
to obey the least command, and time
passed quickly in feasting and merry*
making. As the wine circulated, , |
women as well as men were drawn into
the whirl of > dissipation, and furnished ^
subjects for the merciless pencil of the

pictorially, that the fair sex of that time

for them, while the lords and masters
had frequently to be carried home from .

appeared bearing a email figure of a
