Kditor Craves of the Union Led ger comes back at The Nebraska City News in the following manner: "The Nebraska City News has a "cute'' way of doing some things. In its issue of the l'.Hh it clips from the letter of our K'ock IUulfs corres pondent anil credits it to The Led ger, thus making us appear as a strong supporter of W. J. Hryan. We have no objection to The News making use of our items, but when it shows us up as espousing the cause of Hryan, we kick. While we esteem Mr. Hryan very highly we find in Judge Field a man whom we regard as his superior in statesmanship and legislative ability, hence Judge Field is our choice in preference to Hryan. He ing personally acquainted with both gentlemen and having heard them discuss the political issues, we find no difficulty in reachingthe conclusion that Field will do the country more good than Hryan has or can do." The Board of Trade. The following recommendation is made by the board of health of Plattsinouth.tbrough its chairman, Dr. J. II. Hall: (T.KANSU AM) KISIM IXT. Cleanliness being- an essential preventative of disease, and in view of the great importance of thorough disinfection, as a sanitary measure, at a time when a cholera plague seems so liable to come upon us, possibly not later than next Hum mer, every source of impurity within and around thedwellingand places of business of our citizens, and to meet a want in regard to the use of articles for this purpose, the following brief statements and formula have been prepared by order of the board of health, and offered with the earnest advice that every family and every owner or leasee of tenement houses or other dwellings owe it to their sense of duty, to enforce and encourage thorough cleanliness and to keep down all putrescetise and foul gases by the free use of disinfectants. First to remove and destroy by either burning or deeply burying every kind of tilth or offensive matter. For water closets, privy vaults, drainage pipes and all indoor uses, a strong copperas (sulphate of iron) solution, in the proportion of two pounds to one gallon of water, is recommended by the board. Of this solution add one pint to a pail of water and this pour in each vault, water pan, sink, drain or place lor disinfection. It would be better used every day, or at least two or three times per week. Copperas Doing cheap, (a cents per pound) effective and odorless, is especially desirable for indoor use. For garbage yards, pig pens, area ways, cellars, and all places where dampness and mildew exsist, quick lime maybe strewn over the effluva, or dry lime maybe used in the form of whitewash. Fresh uir, free ventilation and euulight should never be over- looked as natural ineaiM of prevent ing .in 1 destroying causes of in h'Cliou. Hy order board of health. J II. II ALL, Chairman.

Where several common carriers unite to form a line for the trans portation of merchandise and re ceive goods and give a through bill of lading each carrier becomes the agent of the others to carry into effect the transportation and de livery of the property. 2. The testimony tends to show that the property in question-a piano was injured through the negligence of the defendants and no one else;that they bad attempted to settle the damages caused thereby both before and after the suit was brought; that they were witnesses in two trials to recover such damages and must have known that they were ultimately responsible for the same. ;i. In raich case knowledge of the pendency of the suit and its object and that if a recovery was had it would be for the default of the de fendants and no one else, is suffi cient to impose upon the defend ants the duty of making any de fense they may have to the action and in case they fail to do so the judgment will be conclusive against them as to the amount of the judg ment. 4.

Parniele, Plattsmouth, Neb. FIELD LAYS BRYAN OUT. The Young Man Eloquent Hav ing a Hard Row to Hoe. FIELD GAINING GROUND. Bryan Finds a Vastly Different Feel inuThan bxlsted in His Raceof Two Years AKO-Bryan an Easy Mark. Republicans Were Confident. Considerable interest has been felt at Weeping Water in the joint debate between Judge Field anil Hon. W. J. Hryan, billed to take place yesterday. Doth democtals and republicans have been eager for the fray, the former because they felt that no man treads western soil who can stand before tl e im agined invincible Hryan, and the latter because they have always claimed that the catch)- sophistries of the young congressman may fail be fore the logic of a forcible speaker and a clear thinker. The)' had learned to look upon Judge Field as possessing the necessary elements to meet Mr. Hryan, and the result of the debate but made man ifest the correctness of their faith. J. M. Patterson of Plattsmouth, chairman of the democratic central committee, presided for the demo crats. At IMiO he introduced Mr. Hryan, who began work at once, evidencing by his expediency the fact that he had a large contract to fulfill in on.' hour and fifteen min utes. There was not that ease and utter confidence the young man dis played two years ago in his joint debate here. He was not on the front side of a prophecy of evil as then, but behind it, and the young man could not talk so glibly of what would be. He complained because Field had attacked his record when at Lin coln. He attempted to justify his vote on the world's fair bill, saying that he could not bring himself to vote the money of the common peo ple into the pockets of a rich corpo ration. He tried to win the inde pendents over by claiming that his vote on the bill to grant the use of government vessels to convey the donation of the generous farmer to the starving K'tissians corresponded with the votes of their republican representatives, and spent a good share of the opening hour crawling out of the hole his astute opponent had driven hi u into. He acknowl edged that he had not done much for the old soldiers, but unlike his opponent he had not defeated three of them for a nomination to con gress. lryau tried the old ch-.'stnut oi propounding questions for Mr. Field to answer in order to save himself from the argumentative uruuDing lie seemed to Know was coining. His arguments against the taritf and in favor of free coin age of silver are too old in this vi cunty to add imv laurels to his standing as a debater. With a fine oratorical flourish Hryan was done with his lirst elTort. Hon. O. Teft then introduced Judge Field, who proceeded at once ! to handle bis opponent without gloves. Field was a pleasant sur prise to republicans, but to the democrats an unpleasant one. He began on Hryau's record, and no wonder the young man eloquent objects, for after bill introduced came the words "no action." In answer to the charge of Hryan that. Field had defeated three soldiers for a nomination to congress, Field replied: "A democrat is very safe in making such a charge as he would never, in the conventions of his party be likely to find three union soldiers in that ;arty seeking a nomination. He argued with ef fect that the world's fair is an en terprise of the people and the pur pose of exhibiting the products of the people for the advancement of the material welfare of the people, and not an institution for the en richment of a corporation; and no true American should vote against a bill to strengthen it. He would have differed from Hryan in the chartering of the government ves sels to carry relief to starving Kussia, because he would not stop the bountiful gifts of the western tanner to save the government a few dollars. Hryan then read from McKinley's speech to sustain a point in his argument. Judge Field asked his hearers to remember Hryau's speech two years ago against everything savoring of McKinleyism and to note the change of heart. All the arguments Hryan introduced against rebates for free lumber, tor free binding twine and for free trade in general Field met to the delight of his admirers and to the confusion of democrats, for at this time many were trying to convince their neighbors that Hryan did not say or mean that. Field referred to the report of the famous Peck, whom Hryau said j was untrustworthy because Pc. .,f., I i.. " MI5IH in give up certain pape, Field remarked that 1'eek inns' quite a trustworthy man when? I had the indorsement of Clevel.V Hill and Flowi r.

This point made the buncombe of Bryan's oiler of 1.50 for the i. Hwers of Judge Field to ten q(( nun apparent, lie wanted hi to answer. If he answered one wax he hoped to embarass bim in the district, if he answered in anotbei he antagonizes party leaders. This from a man who did not stand will, his own party on much of anything he considered rather puerile. With an appeal to the patriotism of his hearers to vote for that which enhances the glory of the nation and the material welfare of themselves, Judge Field closed his part of the debate with great credit to himself aud to the eminent satis faction of his admirers. Hryau's closing was a rapid, run ning lire, which answered but little and had scarcely any effect against the conclusive arguments of his opponent. The 2.1X10 people , who heard the debate for two and) one-Halt Hours were held unusually I r em unusually y ion.
