SI 00 Six Months, 50 T.?-E LARGEST CIRCULATION Of any Cass County Paper. TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 1900. Admiral Dkwev is said to be "a dimmycrat with etr-rong raybublican leaning." Superintendent Andrews has resigned hia position" in the Chicipo schools and will come to Nebraska . Secretary of State Porter wants to represent the Third congress ional district in Washington next term. John VV. Reasoneu is being men tioned, frequently, as a probable candi date for the senate on the fusion ticket. It is reported that Governor Taylor of Kentucky has been indicted by the grand jury, charged with implicity in the murder cf Goebel. The Thurston-Ilosewjiter fight is bound to be an interesting one and to a finish. Might as well let them have it out. They'll feel better. The State Journal suggests that Dewey has all the second place he wants in his own home without going on the national ticket with Bryan. At its recent convention Drown county endorsed R. B. Schneider for national committeeman. They think he has "pre-eminent organizing ca pacity." MANY Cass county republicans think Detrich of Hastings one of tbe most availablecandidates for governor, and tnat he would strengthen the ticket very materially. The sale of Polish newspapers has been forbidden at all Prussian news stands, says '.the Beatrice Express It is probable that the poets in Poland are writing up spring. Mark Hanna will not be a dele gate to the national republican con vention, lie is willing to let some one else have the honor. There are many to aspire for such recognition. Croker and Hill favor sending an unlnstructed delegation to tbe Kansas City convention. They expect to .sup port Mr. iiryan, but want to be in a position to have something to say about the platform. There are twenty-five people fct expansion today where there was one six months ago. The man or the po litical party thst stands in the way of progress and civilization will be hope' lessly left in the lurch. Dr. B. F. LANO of the Beatrice state institution is preparing to say goodbye. He and bis wife gave a re ception recently, sending out several hundred invitations to which about twenty-five responded. Colonel Roseavater has not said what he thinks of the program made out in Lincoln Friday. Ho ought not to complain, although it would not give him quite as much as he wants. He had better let good enough nlone. BlXBY Bays: "Rosewater always has trouble when he goes into politics for himself. At his time of life he should have no ambition but to be good and get to heaven, a happinoss no politician may ever hope to enjoy." Peter Eveland, one of the promi nent republicans of Elmwood precinct, was shaking hands with the boys today. Mr. Eveland has boon men tioned as a possible candidate for the state legislature and wants to see how the "land" lies. The supreme court has decided that the free attendance high school law is unconstitutional on the ground that the tax was not uniform in respect to oersons and property. It seems im possible to draft a bill that will 6tand the test of the courts. Not only Plattemouth, but nearly every town in the county is making improvements in the way of building and substantial repairs. Three houses are under course of consruction in Ne hawka,and wherever you go you find a scarcity of carpenters. The republicans of Nebraska ought to have one great big "boas," as the fusionists have. To have several big men means trouble. It is about as dif ficult to preserve harmony with two or three bosses in a political party as to preserve a double standard in money. The Omaha Bee says. If the repub lican majority In congress is making so many blunders as the opposition leaders pretend to believe, how strange they favor an early adjournment. The real fear is that by remaining in ses sion it will so clear up pending legisla tion that democracy will be short of Issues. ' D. E. Thompson states that he is not a candidate for the chairmanship of the state central committee and does not want it, but that he is willing to ender all possible assistance to the person chosen for the import-in t posi tion. Republicans seem to be some what at sea as to whom they should select for that place. The Prmnnt Trihunft Tin Rrmo- ,. . . na.fAii. thing to say as to Dewey s principles: "It is true that Admiral Dewey signed the Philippine report; it is true that be is an expansionist; it is true that he is a gold man; it is true that he not long ago said McKinley has mad a agrol president and should be re-electeu; it is true that a year ago he said demo crats were people who were always for peace in time of war and for war in times of peace. But it is not thought that little things like these would be held up against him by democrats at Kansas City if he were to express a willingness to take second place along with Uryan, and ll there were any reasonable hope of his name helping the ticket. Admiral Dewey's de6ireto run for presider.t is of comparatively recent growth. Only three weeks ago he said to President McKinley: 'There is but one candidate for presi dent this year there should bo but one you i sell.'" The Baltimore American (rep.) srrys of General Otis' labors: "As civil gov ernor of the Philippines he has brought order out of cbaof-; established schools and satisfactory municipal goverment; reestablished the com merce of the islands and made possible the rejuvenation or the archipelago. While engaged in this work General Otis has served as the commander of sixty thousand men, has cared for their wants, and directed vast military oper ations by which a widespread insur rection has been quelled and the isl and pacified. Greater work than this have few Americans done, and few are or ever have been entitled to greater honor. General Oiis is not a popular hero, but te is one of those earnest, hard working, painstaking rnd con scientious public servants in the hon oring of whom the American people recognize the qualities that go to make and keep our govern uicnt strong and vigorous." A SPECIAL from Norfolk to th Bee states that Senator Allen is doing what he can among republicans for his colleague. Senator Thureton, and gives the following telegram: Washington. D. 0., April 11. Do all you can for Thurston In conuty and state convention. W. V. Allen. Why he is so much interested in Mr. Thurston has not been disclosed. Per haps he is to have free tceess to the oil tanks. The fusion machinery may need considerable lubricating between now and fall. IT IS one thing to sympithizs with the Boers and quite another to advo cate taking up their fight. Thousands who would like to see them win in the present war would deem it most unwise for tho administration to interfere. The few hot-headed politicians who would bavo President McKinley inter vene would call him a "murderer" should one of our soldiers get killed. Perhaps you have already heard the president so called. People who talk in such a strain are to be pitied rather than condemned. ClIATLAlN MAILLEY is a staunch be liever in the retention of the Philip pines by this government and is put ting in his time telling the people why he thinks so. IIo has been there and has secured a large number of stot eop ticon views taken on the island, with which he is able to make his lectures very instructive as well ps entertain ing. An effo-t will be made to get him to come to Piattsmouth. The meeiirg in Lincoln Frid-iy of some twenty-five or thirtj" prominent republicans from various parts of the State m ly result in a most harmonious state convention. May 2. The p;an"cs suggested is to tuako It. 1J. Schneider national committeeman, Thurston and Rore water delegates to the national convention, nominate Lambertson for governor ana Cndy for lieutenant gov ernor. .SAYS the Fremont Tribune: Tho nomination of Congressman Burkett, by the republicans of the First district, was a compliment worthily bestowed upon the bright and clean young rep resentative. Mr. Burkett has attained a creditable standing in Washington and gives promise of being of great service to his constituents before his commission expires. That ho will be elected this year is a foregone con clusion. The Fremont Tribune rises to a-k what has become of the iniquitous McCleary bill the fusionists tried to 6care the country with about a year ago. The citizens of PlattsmouMi will remember ihat George Fred Willi ims came all the way from Massachute'.ts to tell what an awful, awful thing it was, but it isn't the issue today. It's gone with the free silver and wheat story. TnE general impression is that Dr. Andrews will make an excellent chan cellor. He is a man of national repu tation and will be likely to make things move. He will have about him in a short time a circle of warm friends and another circle, of greater or lees diameter, of warm enemies. He is original, able and aggressive. President Beattie of the state normal announces that the summer term will open June 8 and close Aug ust 2. Cas3 county had quite a delega tion in the school last summer and doubtless will this. It affords teachers an opportunity to better fit themselves for tbe work without losing any time from their schools. The outsider who speculates in oil is pretty sure to Blip up.

Falls City Journal. A dog that had acquired the evil habit of sucking eggs raided a nest where there was one .that was rot- tec, and by mistake he got that particular egg. And another dog seeing the first suddenly drop the egg and go away, remarked to a companion that the first dog seomed to have sud denty reformed and felt sorry for his conduct. "Not on your life," said the other dog, who guessed tho situation "He is simply sorry that he got hold of the wrong egg." Moral! There a"e a good many people who never have any regret for being ornery until they happeu to get the worst of it At their last meeting the board of education re-elected Superintendent E L. Iliuse for three years, with a raise in salary to $1,000 a year. It is with pleasure that tho Advocate makes a note of this, for it would bo hard to find a bolter man for tho position than Weeping Water Advocate. DETAILS 0FA. TRAGEDY. Boy of 19 KlUs His Father and Is rate Acquitted. Anderson, Ind., April 21. Ted, the 10-year-old son of John Podmore, shot and instantly killed his father Thurs day. He fired four fliues at him, the last ball taking effect. Mrs. Podmore brought suit for divorce some time ago, and the husband pleaded with hei Wednesday night to have her dismiss 't. She refused. He then asked the json if he was going to testify against him, and the son answered he would stand by his mother. At C o'clock Thursday morning the boy was aroused by the father pound Ing on his door with a seven-pound piece of glass. The father flung it at him, knocking him off the bed. The father then flung a hatchet at him. The boy then seized a revolver and fired the fatal bullets. A coroner's Jury found the boy had killed the father in self-defense and released him from jail. The father had been employed in the rodmill. THREE MEN BLOWN TO ATOMS, They Were at Work in a Dynuuiite Mill When It Occurred. Detroit, April 21.

Sam uel Tingley, a lineman in the employ of the reoples Telephone company here, is lying at the hospital with a broken neck with no chance for re covery. Tingley was hanging to a crossarm on a pole trying to locate wires which had become crossed with a heavily-charged wire. He struck the right ones and the current was strong er than anticipated. It burned his fingers, causing his grip to loosen and he fell to the ground thirty-five feet. Troublesome Tluifpt at Chicago. Chciago, April 21. Information has been received by Chief of Detectives Colleran that "Toronto Jimmy," "Lefty" Fitzgerald and "Dad" Flynn, well-known burglars and Jail breakers. who are wanted for the burglary of the postofhee in DeKalb, Ills., are in Chicago. The men were caught some time ago in Marinette, Wis., but made their escape from the Jail there and later, when apprehended and placed behind bars in Janesvillo, Wis., made their escape by clever strategem Many Japanese Are Landing:. Washington. April 21. Assistant Secretary Taylor, of the treasury de partment, has received a telegram from the immigration inspector at Port Townsend, Wash., in which he states that 1.000 Japanese Immigrants were landed at that port Thursday, and 2,000 are expected to arrive today. A TALK UV 1)K. IMSHKOW. Many People tint her it tbe Methodist Charcli to 11-ar His Discourse. The Methodist church was nearly filled Sunday afternoon with those desirous of hearing something of the remedy of Dr. Disbrow for the cure of those addicted to the habit of drink iner liquor. The doctor pave a history of his discovery ana told of cures of- DU. A. DISBItOW, fected by use of the remedy. Messrs. "Wine" Graves, George Sawtelle and W. E.VanBrunt of Edgar spoke briefly of what they thought of the remedy, expressing themselves as having every belief that it is all right. At tho close of the meetiner a motion was made to endorse the efforts of Dr. Disbrow and to give all assistance pos sible in promoting the good work. An other meeting will be held Tuesday evening at the Methodist church to discuss the matter further. Much in terest i9 being manifested and a stock company to handle the remedy will doubtless be formed in this city. CANAL THOME UP House Will Take a Vote On the lroposel "Waterway. BILL VERY MATERIALLY ALTERED Fortification Eliminated, and Neutrali ty Put In A Minority Protest Question of Armor Plate. Washington, April 21. The feature of t'i rinv's of ooHTOssmen here i vwtprrlav ims the announcement of Hepburn that an agreement had been reached by which the Nicaragua canal bill would be considered this session of congress, the house to take It up May 1, debate it that day and the next and then pass It. But it Is not the bill that so many of the statesmen want, for It eliminates all the provision for fortification and that sort of thing and provides for absolute neutrality, But it also provides for negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa ltica for the purchase or lease for 99 or 009 years of a ship or territory right across the Isthmus wide enough to build tbe canal in. The minority of the committee opposes the changes and files a report. Khacklsford States Ills Objections. This report is filed by Shackleford and says: "Tho undersigned, while concurring In the vigorous American policy so ably and tersely stated by Mr. Hepburn on behalf of the majori ty of the committee, nevertheless do not concur in the recommendation that the bill do pass In the form presented. The act of congress which authorizes the building of the canal should con tain an explicit and direct assortlon of the right of the United States to build, own and control said canal, absolutely free from Luropean dictation. Clayton-Uulwer Treaty Again. "The Clayton-Bulwer treaty, ns is so clearly shown by Mr. Hepburn, long ago ceased to have any bidding force by reason of the conduct of Great Britain. That being true we should strictly adhere to the Monroe doctrine and stand by our traditional polky that Europe will not be permitted to Intermeddle with Cis-Atlantic af fairs. It Is to the Monroe doctrine that we, as a republic, must look for safety. We should never under any circumstances even tacitly admit that Europe has the right to so much as interrogate us on American ques tions much less to limit our action." . Adamson Also to Oppose. Adamson says the changes in the bill were suggested ns he understands, by the rules committee, in answer to the petitions filed for the consideration of the Hepburn bill. But Adamson says the petition were for the original bill. Hepburn said that the rule for consideration could be secured if the amendments suggested were author ized by the committee. Under the cir cumstances Adamson says he will op pose on the floor of the house the amendments omitting the words "de fend" and "fortification," as he says "the amendments emasculate the bill and surrender the case, leaving the bill consistent with the Hay-Pauncefote treaty." How They Feel in Nlrarrgua. Apropos of the provision in the changed bill for the purchase or lea.se of a strip of territory from Nicaragua and Costa Kica is the following from Managua, Nicaragua, dated yesterday: 'The Diario, the official organ of the Nicarnguan government, declares ed itorially today that I "resident Zelaya and the members of. his cabinet In their Interviews with the members of the United States canal commislsou did not express any disposition to cede or sell sovereignty over any portion of Nicaraguan territory for a canal route. The paper also asserts that the govern ment Is not disposed to sell its sover-eigutj- over the route." ARMOR Ol ESTIOX IS TANGLED. Houai Strikes Out One Provision, but Leaves the Appropriation Intact. Washington, April 21. As the result of a protracted struggle in the house yesterday tho provision of the naval appropriation bill to enable the secre tary of the treasury to contract for armor for the battleships Maine, Ohio and Missouri, now awaiting their ar mor equipment, at $313 per ton, the price asked for Krupp armor, is out of the bill, as is the provision to repeal the $3'K limitation placed upon tho price of armor by the current law. The light came at the end of the considera tion of the bill. Although the provision was obnoxious to the rule all the mi nority members of the committtee had agreed to it. Hut yesterday, when the majority de clined to allow the discussion of a proposition for the establishment of an armor plate factory the minority re taliated by raising a point of order against thc-tvo provisions alove re ferred to and they were ruled out on the ground that it was legislation changing existing law. The exact ef fect of the action of the house is dis puted. Til eappropriation of 4,000, 000 under the head of "armor and arm ament" remains in the bill, as well as the language of the proviso authoriz ing the secretary of the navy to con tract for armor of the best quality for the Maine, Ohio and Missouri, the words striken out being "at a cost not to exceed J?343 a ton including royal ties." It is contended by some that this em powers the secretary to contract for the armor without regard to cost. By others It Is claimed that the provision will be ineffective unless the senate in serts the price. tor coughs aEQ colds there is no medicine so effective as BallardV Ilore hound syrup.
