Senator John Sherman Will Succeed Himself in the U. S. Senate. By their ballots the republicans of Ohio have nominated John Sher man aa their candidate for the U. S. senate. Sherman was elected on the first ballot, and on motion of a Foraker man his election was made unanimous, and a committee ap pointed to wait on Sherman and Foraker and invite them to appear. Loud cheers greeted their appear ance. Following are the remarks made by Sherman and Foraker: "Seuators, representatives and ft How citizens," said Senator Sher man on being introduced, "I return to you my heartfelt thanks for the very high honor you have conferred i.pon me. Long trusted by the peo ple of Ohio, I am under obligations that I cannot express in any lan guage at my command. I owe to them, I owe to you, all that could be said by a heart overflowing with feeling, and I therefore will not at tempt to express those emotions which now fill my heart with re spect to you and the people of Ohio. Applause. We have just passed through quite a content the most formidable contest I ever encountered in Ohio, and I hope more formidable than any I will ever be called upon to encounter hereafter. (Laughter.) I know, gentlemen, that you have been called upon to make a choice. It was unpleasant to you, because you would have liked to have voted for us both, and we would have been glad to have had two senators to elect instead of one. I am glad to say that in this contest I have held in my language and in my heart the highest feelings of respect and houor for the gentleman who has been my competitor and who is now before yam. Prolonged applause. He has the affection of the people of Ohio and you have given me this high honor because of my experi ence; you have not underrated the high qualities, mental and moral, of Governor Foraker. Applause. We owe mainly our duty to our country and our homes, and we owe a minor duty to the state of Ohio a state peerless among the statesofthe United States, central in position and its population, and great in its history. Applause. Though you have been engaged in this friendly contest we arc all re publicans, and I trust ever will he, true to our cause and true to the principles we advocate. Cheers. "With heart overflowing with thanks that I cannot express, I again return to you as the senators and representatives of our. state, many thanks for this almost unequal honor and now leave you." Applause and cheers. After the applause which greeted Senator Sherman had somewhat subsided, ex-Governor Foraker was introduced by these chosen words: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the caucus," said ex-Governor Foraker, "I am informed that so far as you are concerned the senatorial caucus is ended laughter and I have come here in respect to your kind invitation to say that, as far as I am concerned, it is also ended. You did not end it as I had hoped you might laughter but you are duly accredited and authorized representatives of the republicans of Ohio, and your will is law nnto me and mine. Prolonged cheers. As Senator Sherman has said, we have been having something of a contest Laughter. For the last ten days we have been divided into Foraker men and Sherman men, and we have been striving against each other. There has been possib ly some grasping and some friction, but at this hour it is our highest duty to remember that from now henceforth, in the language again of the senator, we are no longer Sherman men or Foraker men, but republicans always. Great cheers. Let us here and now put behind us the contest in which it belongs, whatever of unkindliness of feeling that may have been engendered. So far as I am concerned, I am glad to be able to say to you, gentlemen of general assembly, that I haven't an unkind thought toward aay one of you, and no matter whether he has been frieiid or foe. Applause and "good," "good." "The senator has said he does not want any more contests like this. I thank him for the compliment and vouch to you that I don't want ever again to cross swords with Senator Sherman. Laughter and applause. I shall pick out another fellow the next time. Renewed laughter. But, gentlemen, I shall detain you no longer." Bird Critchfield had to make an affidavit ttf-day that he was dep uty county clerk in making out some pension papers to-day and that Frank Dickson was now coun ty clerk. Miss Bridie Ilouseworth, of Lin coln, who has been visiting in this city for the past two week.- re turned home this morning. The newly elected county officers have taken possession of their re spective offices. Frank Dickson relieved Bird ! Critchfield of the duties of county ! clerk, but Mr. Critchfield will re- main as deputy for a short time. L. C. Kickhoff is now the county treasurer, with Thos. Pollock as deputy and J. K. Pollock as book keeper. Dr. Dearing relieved W. C. Sho waiter. Mr. Showalter will remain lor the present as deputy until Mr. Dearing gets familiar with the duties of the office. Judge Ramsey, Sheriff Tighe and Coroner Unruh succeed them selves, and John Tighe will still re main in the sheriff's office. Kntghta of Pythiaa.

BRYAN'S MAIDEN EFFORT, Secretary Crounse Sees a Change in Russian Political Affiliation As one Result. Washington, 1). C, Jan. 7,- Spec ial. -Assistant Secretary Crounse, of the treasury department, who took a great interest in the discus sion of the Russian relief resolu tion in the house yesterday predicts that the defeat of that measure will have a decided effect on democratic prospects this fall. "There are great many Russian settlers in Ni-braska," said Mr. Crounse, "and I think that Bryan's speech will have the effect of trans ferring thousands of these people from the democratic to the republi can column in Clay county alone, and in other countries of the state where the Russian settlers are thickest the effect will be fully as marked." Mr. Crounse thinks that Mr. Bryan's little speech will prob ably be used as a republican cam paign document with results which can't be otherwise than detrimental to democratic Interests. Senator Manderson, in comment ing upon Mr, Hyran's speech, B lid this afternoon: The member from the First asks what right congress has to provide for the carrying of grain to a foreign laud when no authority existed last year to aid the distressed citizens of Nebraska. I think that Mr. Bryan must have for- gotten the fact that Nebraska never asked congress to aid her people in their distress. , Nebraska," con tinued the senator, "is not a pauper state and we require no assistance from the general government to help us out because we had one year of bad crops. Bryan's point was not well taken." Lost in the Darkness. Last Thursday evening, as all will remember was cold, dark wet and cheerless night; after the wind and rain came a slight frost, just enough to chill to the marrow, ail who venturned out in it. That evening an old man named Wni. Bennett, who has a temporary resi dence with the family of Geo. Mc Adie, left town just after dark; he must have followed the main road to the northwestern corner of the old fair grounds, thinking that he had reached the proper place to turn north to his home. He went north and completely lost his bear ings, putting in the entire night among the rocks and hills in the field of Deacon Beach. His pecu liar cries for assistance was heard by numerous people, some mistak ing it for that of a wild minimal, other going out to trace it up, but all failing to find him. The next morning, the first of the New Year he managed to reach the door of Mr. Beach, falling in sheer exhaus tion on arriving there, a most ' piteous eight to behold, his bent form, ragged clothing, bleeding wounds from contact with barb wire and rocks, without vest or overcoat and spech less from cold. But a little time longer in that condition would have settled hie earthly career. He fell into good hands, Mr. and Mrs. B. getting him into a warm bed and filling liis inward cavity with hot milk, which, after putting him into untold agony for a while, finally brought him out in pretty good shape. In the afternoon he was re moved to Mr. McAdie's where he will take time to fully recuperate from the effects of thit horrible night, that came so near being a death watch to him.

Obituary, The Herald this morning re ceived a copy of the New Era, pub lished nt Perris, California, which contained the following: "After a brief illness of one week Frances S. Wise, wife of Parker L. Wise, died in the sixtieth year of her age, of pneumonia, superin duced by the grippe, at her home in Perris-, December 2$, 1891. "Mrs. Wise was born in Madison county, Ohio, but in childhood with her parents moved to Indiana and there lived until long after her marriage. Then she moved with her 1 husband and family to Nebraska where she remained for the space of twenty years. Here she became a devout and consistent member of the First Presbyterian church in Plattsmoulh. One year ago last August she, with her hus bind, who has been an invalid for siiveu years, came to this town, and since then has endeared herself to many of its inhabitants, for none knew her but to love her. Notwith standing the fact that Mrs. Wise was cared for by skilful physicians and loving friends, yet did she con tinue to sink rapidly under the disease until she died last Monday at 1:'M p. m., in the presence of her husband and two sons, Taylor and Will, whom she leaves to mourn her loss. All three are well known and highly respected resi dents of this town. How tenderly and patiently sister Wise has cared tor her invalid husband these last seven years and especially during his recent sickness from which he is just recovering, we may not be able to tell, but God knows and we believe that he will one day say un to her, 'Inasmuch as you did it un to the least of these my brethren, you did it unto me.' "The funeral services held in the Home of the deceased December 30 at 'i p.m. was largely attended and was in charge of the Rev. Geo. II. Rogers, whose subject then was, 'Jesus Wept.' The hymns then sung were 'Abide With Me,' and 'Come unto Me When Shadows Darkly Gather.' The pall bearers were Messrs. Plimpton, Witt, Colby and Brockman. A large number of the family's sympathizing friends ac companied the remains to the Per ris cemetery, where the last rites of burial were performed, and where the deceused was laid in sure and certain hope of u blessed resurec tion. "May the comfort and consolation of divine grace so rest upon the wide circle of sorrowing friends, and especially upon her mourning husband and two sons and their families, that in this hour of their bereavement they may resignedly say, 'Thy v ill be done,' and look forward in Christian hope to a blessed reunion '"On the lui.pjr goldm nliore, Where the (itlthful port no more,'" "Mrs. Mary Ellen Anderson, the mother of Mrs. James Patterson, Jr., died at the residence of her daughter, on Sunday, December 27, at 5 o'clock p. m. "Mrs. Anderson was born in New Jersey, 1830, and was married to Benjamin Anderson in August, 1834. Four children were born to them, two of whom survive. Her husband died in August, 18110. Her mother still lives in Toulon, 111., uged eighty-two years; also four brothers and one sister survive her. "The deceased during a year's residence with her daughter greatly endeared herself to the people of Perris. She was a Christian lady in the fullest sense and interested herself in all benevolent and Christian work. The daughter and f imily here have the heartfelt sym pathy of all in their great sorrow. "Services were held at the Con gregational church. In accordance with her wish the remains were sent east to Chariton, Iowa, to be laid by the side of her husband." L.L.A. Debating Society. The L. L. A. debating society held its second meeting at the home of Gerald Drew last evening. Several new members were enrolled, the society now having a membership of thirteen. The following officers were elected: Gerald Drew, presi dent; Tom Chapman, vice-president; Charles Rhode, recording secretary; Roy Kirkpatrick, corresponding secretary; Joseph Knotts, treasurer. Meetings will probably be held once every two weeks at the homes of the different members. This is a most commendable move on the part of these young men, as nothing is more instructive than a good debating society. t r j 1'iiKe jones, a poor unioriuuaie, was taken to the poor farm to-day by order of the county com missioners. In the supreme court yesterday the' case of Plattsmouth vs. Henry Boeck was denied a rehearing. In the police court this morning testimony was taken in the case of Crosby vs. Richey. The case was continued until the fifteenth of thii month. Buried in a Mine. A special dispatch to the Lincoln Journal from McAllister, I. T., says: Last night there was an explosion in a mine and as a result over 200 men now lie dead and about forty are totally hurt and many badly burned. At 5:10 p. m. mine No. 11 exploded. At the time 3.T0 men were in the shaft; most of them were waiting for the cage to take them out, and the foot of the shaft is one mass of dead bodies. The explosion was caused by the firing of a shot when gas was in the mine. The search by the rescuing party still continued. One disheartening fact connected with the search is that so far not one live miner has been found. The bodies so lar recovered were found burned, charred and marred almost beyond recognition Miss May Richey who is attend ing school at Fremont came home last evening to spend Sunday with relatives.
