man and a farmer armed with a
pitchfork standing guard over it. The

muskets which pointed in various di

sidered one of the features of the

had been erected, and around which
a multitude of people had in tho mean
time gathered. Along the lino of
march each of tho different bands fur
nished excellent music.
Roosevelt's Address. -
After The News quartet sang a patri
otic selection, Byron Clark, who pre
sided over the raeeting,introduced the
speaker of tho evening in a neat little
.speech,' briefly reviewing Tloosevelt'a
record as a statesman and soldier.
When the speaker arose in response
--to the introduction, ho was loudly
cheered. Die talked of loyalty,patriol
ism, the policy of the administration
in.the Philippines and resented impu
tations made by the opposition against
'the soldiers of the United States.
' . Jn part Colonel Roosevelt's speech
: was as follows: .
' 'I am willing to talk on the para
mount issue, if you will tell me hich
is" the paramount issue today. Two
" weeks ago when I crossed the Mis
souri river imperialism was the para
mount Issue; now its as dead as free
silver.' .They are now harping on the
trust question. The value of promise
comes in its performance; the value of
a prophecy in its fulfillment or unful-
fillmeiit Look over our promises of
four years ago and see how near we
predicted what has happened. Com
pare our promises with those of ourop
ponents. ; We 'said prosperity would
.- come. Now when we point to prosper
ity our opponents say it was provi
dence! I admit there has been a fusion
- between 'providence and tho republi
can party. The democratic party has
a faculty of -fusing with anything, but
never with providence." Ilere the
speaker was interrupted by loud ap
plause and cries of "Hit 'em again,
Teddy." "An inalienable right ex
ists for the country to be foolish if it
wishes," continued the speaker, "but
I don't believe it will be foolish.
There is another side,0,my brothers
my countrymen thatof material pros
perity. I see before me men who wear
the button, men who served the coun
try is times that tried men's souls in
times when they showed a loyalty not
of the lips, hut of the soul whoshowed
the high devotion of a freeman for a
freeman's country but more, they left
us men who stand as monuments of loy
alty. They were men who said you
could not coerce a single sovereign
state." Moro loud cheering.
''Now I ask you not to give this
country to the heirs of copperheads.
You, the eons of pioneers who con
quered the wilderness, who pitched
new states as men pitch tents, I ask
you not to let the country stand as a
weakling among nations."
The speaker told of the hardships of
the veterans of the civil war, the tur
moil of four 3-ear's struggle that
brought blessings alike to the victor
and the enemy. He quoted from a
speech-made by Bryan, in which the
democratic candidate said his heart
went out in sympathy to the "poor"
aoldiers who were in foreign land
fighting and throwing away their
lives for an unjust cause. Colonel
1 loose velt said he did not believe in
merely standing by and extending his
sympathy to the "poor" soldiers, but
instead he encouraged them by hoping
God would bless them wherever they
might bo wherever they were called
upon to pitch their tents.
Addresses by Other Speakers.
Senator Dalliver of Iowa, who joined
the Roosevelt train at Ashland, was
next introduced by Mr. Clark. The
speaker started out by paying a high
tribute to the republican candidate for
congress from the First district, Hon.
K. J. BurketU Ho devoted most of
his time to discussing somo of the
"noises" which Bryan and his follow
ers were making chief among them
beiog "imperialism" and"militarism."
Senator Dolliver is an eloquent spoaker.
and ho received frequont applause.
Curtis Guilds, jr., of Boston, who
made an excellent record for bravery
during the recont war in Cuba, also
spoke upon the subjects of "militarism
and "imperialism."
lion. C. II. Dietrich, the republican
candidate for governor of Nebraska,
also briefly addressed the crowd. His
address was well received.
Motes of the Meeting.
Brown's quartet of colored singers
from Nebraska City sang a number of
line songs from tho speakers' platform
just before the big parade passed up
Main street.
The Missouri Pacific's special train
from Auburn brought a large delega
tion from that pi ace, and it is estimated
that 700 came up from Nebraska City,
at least this number of tickets were
sold. The special train from Eagle
was also crowded 150 came in from
Weeping Water, 120 from Nehawka
and sixty from Union. Many people
from the latter place came in on the
special from Auburn. The Burling
ton's special from Ked Oak, la., carry
ing 1500 people, was delayed on the
Iowa side of the river for nearly two
hours. The delay was caused by the
trucks of a box car on a freight train
jumping the track near the big bridge,
They arrived about 9 o'clock. The
Lincoln special brought in the Have
lock boys ana many visitors from other
points. - . .
It is estimated that there were be
tween 12,000 and 15,000 people in the
city last evening, and many believe
that it was the . largest crowd which
has ever gathered it Piattsmouth.
T K. Kiethley, editor of the Weep
ing Water Republican, came in on the
special train from Eagle last evening.
He returned home this afternoon.
Hon. E. J. Burkett, candidate for
congress from the First district, ac
companied the R30sevelt special train
to this city as did also F. P. Savage,
candidate for lieutenant governor; G.
W. Marsh, candidate for secretary of
state; William' Steuffer, candidate for
state treasurer; Charles Weston.candi
date for auditor; George D. Follmer,
candidate for commissioner of public
lands and buildings; F. N. Prout.candl
date for attorney general, and W. K.
Fowler, candidate for state superin
tendent. As they left sooner than was
expected, these gentlemen did not ad
dress the crowd.
The News quartet, dressed in rough
rider uniforms, were well received.
They did remarkably well, notwith
standing the noise and confusion about
the stand. The Eagle quartet, which
gave a selection at the close of the
meeting, is also deserving of special
mention.
The Havelock uniformed marching
club, consisting of fifty-four men, made
a fine appearance, and they certainly
did much to make the parade a suc
cess. The Havelock boys are all right.
FIKST DAY IN NEBRASKA
Governor Roosevelt Receives Warm Re
ception In This State.
Governor Roosevelt traveled over
337 miles of Nebraska farm land and
prairie in thirteen counties and spoke
to thousands of people yesterday, says
the Omaha Bee. Beginning at Falls
City, only a few miles from the KanBas
line in Southeastern Nebraska, Roose
velt's special train raced through a
heavy downpouring rain westward
toward McCook, stopping only at the
most important towns along the road
and then only long enough for the gov
ernor to say a few words to the gath
ered multitude. At every station and
crossing were throngs of people eager
to catch even a glimpse of the New
Yorker as he passed swiftly by in his
special train and the enthusiasm of
their cheers and hurrahs apparently
had no limit.
The strenuous campaign in the west
has had a telling effect on Governor
Roosevelt and while he is the most en
thusiastic and energetic man aboard
the train, his voice is much weaker
than when he started from Chicago
three weeks ago. Fearing that his
voice may give out before the end of
the campaign, he limits bis speeches
to five minutes, making exceptions
only where there are regular afternoon
or evening meetings. Through Kan
sas he wore a large sunflower in honor
of the sunflower state. In Nebraska he
wears a sprig of golden roJ, the Ne
bruska state flower.
Traveling with lloosevelt are: Cur-
ti? Guild of Boston, National Commit
teeman Schneider of Nebraska, all of
the candidates on the republican state
ticket and fourteen newspaper corres
pondents and artists. Almost the en
tire train has been given over to the
use of press men and from it are being
sent out daily over 50,000 words about
Teddy and his trip. Many of the cor
respondents were vith Bryan during
the opening days of the campaign, but
deserted him because of greater and
more widespread interest in the move
ments and speeches of the republican
vice presidential candidate.

VERY EXPENSIVE WELL
Weeping Water City Invests In
a Couple of Lots.
Property Sold at Sheriff's Sale and Briar
a Neat Sum Business Hwuses Beauti
fully Decorated For . the Bis Republi
can Meeting Tonight Other Local
Happenings.
Lots 13 and 14, block 73, in Weeping
Water, were sold for taxes at sheriff's
sale yesterday afternoon, the city, of
Weeping Water being the purchaser,
paying therefor the sum of $350.
There is an interesting story con
nected with tho sale and purchase of
these lots. A number of years ago
Harry Race, the former owner, gave
the city of Weeping Water permission
to dig a well on tho lots, providing he
was furnished with water. The well
has since boen Weeping Water's main
source o! supply, and, as the town has
no saloons, this is considered an im
portant factor. No taxes have been
paid on the lots since 1SS6, and some
time ago the county Instituted suit to
recover the same. The appraised val
uation of the property was $30, and, as
the taxes and costs amounted to
$152.40, it looked as though the county
would come out loser on the deal.
At the sale yesterday, however.there
were fifty-three bidders, which fact
indicated that the property was in
great demand. Councilman A. U.
Marshall was present on behalf of the
city of Weeping Water. Many of them
doubtless expected to buy the property
at two-thirds the appraised valuation,
or $20. John Donelan, cashier of the
Weeping Water City National bank,
gave them quite a surprise when he
called the sheriff up by telephone and
bid $200. For a time the telephone
line between Weeping Water and
Piattsmouth was kept hot, and from
$200 Mr. Doneland raised his bid to
$250 and finally to $300. After con
ferring with the other councilmen at
Weeping Water, Mr. Marshall bid
$350, and succeeded io capturing the
prize.
The well in question is about thirty
feet deep, and furnishes excellent
water. The cost of having it dug
amounted to about 3400.
"A Runaway Wife."
