Most Interesting Ever Held In the First Dlstrlct-Cass and Rlctard oa Counties Win the Dy Ringing Resolutions Adopted. Tbe republican convention held in Lincoln yesterday wrj one of the moat interesting ever held in the First con gressional district. Every county bad been instructed for E. J. Burkett for congress, hence bis nomination was by acclamation and unanimous. The hot fight was for delegates to the national convention. The Spurlock-Tucker combination proved too strong for the aggregation of Lancaster politicians. Their war cry, after finding they was service to the people, the loyal reuub- icanism, wise and conservative action of our congressman, E. J. Burkett, as a member of the Fifty-sixth congrees, has earned for him the support of his constituents, and this convention, as an xpression of its faith in his ability and integrity, renominates him by ac clamation iu accordance with the in structions by unanimous vote of every county convention iu the Fnst con gressional district.

The four counties had eighty-eight rotes and it required eighty-nine to elect. After some forty-eight hours of hard work Lancaster succeeded in inducing Johnson and Nemaha coun tie to unite with them, and, as an in ducement, offered to sacrifice their candidate for delegate.Mr. Billlngsley of Lincoln, and gave the other coun ties the plums. The three counties stood together in organizing the convention, Mr. Bll llngsley receiving eighty-nine votes for oh Airman and Mr. Sloan of Otoe county ighty-eight. Then Lancaster went wild with enthusiasm. They thought they would win the day as in times past. But the forces could not be held together in the selection of delegates to the national convention. When Johnson and Nemaha were called a poll of the delegation was de manded and Johnson gave Tucker six votes and Nemaha gave Spurlock and Tucker two votes. This insured the election of both of these gentlemen and their friends fairly yelled. On motion of "Bud" Lindsay the election was made unanimous. The Lancaster crowd, T. J. Majors Judge Stull et al. were outgeneraled for once. Messrs. Boyd of Nemaha and Worl of Johnson were selected as alternates. Judcre S. P. Davidson of Johnson was recommended for presl dential elector from the First district. After the report of the resolutions committee the convention adjourned. Worl. Boyd Cass Johnson Lancaster Nemaha Otoe 23 Pawnee IS Richardson Z4 Total W The Platform. The following resolutions adopted: Resolved, That we, the republicans of the First congressional district of Nebraska in convention assembled, re new our allegiance to the pvincipals of republicanism as announced in our party platforms heretofore promulgated. We are proud of the wise, able, con servative and patriotic administration of onr great war president, William McKinley, who has in all matters and upon all occasions and questions justi fled every confidence reposed in him by the people of this great republic. We congratulate the country oa its continued and substantial prosperity ever since the beginning of his admin titration. The republican party always carries out IU pledges to the people and we noint with pride to the fact that tne republican congress of the United States has kept faith in its promise upon the great financial question and - has enacted the gold standard into law, The republican party gave to the country the pension law that gives out annually millions of dollars to deserv ing and worthy veterans of our wars. I . n.t,lliinilllBn( ttlA iiaiTiA auu wo iui v - k Khapi nnnalon nvstem and a liberal In- f terpretatlon of the pension law. , We call attention to the fact that the Sherman law against trusts, enacted by a republican congress and enforced by republican officials, has proved to be the most efficacious remedy by which the power of trusts has been curtailed, and that during the time the democratic party was in power neither legislation or executive action was de voted against the trusts. This con vention declares that we favor such further legislation, both state and na tion, as shall be necessary to more fully prohibit or restrict the formation of any trust or combination which, by ownership or manipulation, seeks to monopolize production or crush out oompetion in the sale of any of the neoessaries or conveniences of life, or to extort unreasonable profits from the consumer. As the legitimate and inevitable re suit of the war with Spain and the ratification of the peace treaty, the United States became the sovereign nower in the islands ceded to us, and wa favor the principle that when the American flag has been planted, that there it shall forever remain as an em blem of a iust and stable government thereon for the benefit ana wun tne ...tinn of the people under its folds.

From Thursday's Daily. As has been previously announced, todiy was set apart by Justice Archer as tne time lor ueinuu iuo -t wherein Dr. Isaao D. Jones of South Bend is charged with performing a criminal operation upon Miss JWinule Kanaff, also of that place. There were quite a number of peo ple present from the "Kentucky or Nebraska," and the testimony gen erally was of a racy and sensational character. Miss Kanaff was on tne stand for a large portion of the time. Her testimony went to show that the doctor had been criminally intimate with her, and in order to cover up his misdeeds he had committed the crime with which he is now charged. It also developed that Jones had made promises of mar riage, and, naturally, she learned to love him, but he failed to make his promise good. County Attorney Root and Matthew Gering conducted the prosecution and H. 1). Travis appeared for Jones. The attorneys were nnienmg tneir argu ments as The News goes to press. Victory for Dr. Jones. At 3:30 this afternoon Justice Archer decided the case of the State of Ne braska vs. Dr. I. D. Jones of South Bend, he finding that there had been no substantial evidence brought forth to prove that the doctor was guilty nf the crime charged, aud the defendant was accordingly dismissed. The arguments of the attorneys oc cupied the greater portion of the day, and the court room was well filled with spectators throughout the proceeding?. The doctor was naturally well pleased with the victory. Whether there will be any more similar cases from South Bend is net known. Notice.

After a Lively Chase Through a Corn Field He Is Finally Ron Down by Dep uty Sheriff Mc Bride Bad Stolen a Floe Gold Watch and Chain and Numerous Other Articles "News" Office Visited. From Thursday's Daily Marshal Slater and Deputy Sheri McBride had a lively chase alter a burglar last night. About 5;30 the former was called to the home of Mike Mauzy, on Fifth and Walnut streets. and was notified that the place had been ransacked by a young man who had been seen leaving the premises on a bicycle. The thief was deecriDed as being tall, rather youthful appearing and as wearing a light colored hat. Armed with this vague description, the marshal started down town, and shortly after arrested a couple of sus picious looking strangers on M&in street, and they were placed in jail pending further developments. Suspicions also pointed to a young man who goes by the name of Fred Short, and who recently came to this place. It is understood he has been making his heme with an uncle. Judge W. B. Short, out south of the shops. The marshal and Deputy McBride quickly made their way out to the Short domicile. Seated in a chair near one of the windows, they saw just the man they were after, but about that time the young: fellow's gize also fell upon them, with the result that the latter suddenly withdrew. One of the officers guarded the out side while the other went in after the man. They finally succeeded in rout ing him out of the house, and then he made a bold dash for a corn field near by, with the officers in hot pursuit. In the course of a short time they suc ceeded in nabbing; bim, however, and. when searched; all doubt of his guilt vanished. la his possession were found a gold watch and chain, which belonged to Mr. Mauzv, also a 3S caliore revolver, knife, razor, pair of shoes, calling cards, handkerchiefs and various other article0. He was lodged in j til and the two tusccts turned loose. As County Attorney Hoot has an other case on hand today, young Short will not have a preliminary hearing" until tomorrow. 0 ( ( ( ( ( ( H will brighten when she re cieves one of those Sterling Silver Bracelets fl. 60 while they last.
