REGULARS AT WAR
WITH INSURGENTS
Propose to Fight For Administrative
Bills and Against Insurgents.
PRESIDENT TAFT IN
SYMPATHY WITH THEM
Insurgents Listed as Anti-Taft and Anti-Protection
by a Conservitive.
WASHINGTON, May 4-Through
the formation today of an organiza
tion which its leaders claim represents
a clear majority of the entire senate
and to be made up wholly of republi
cans of the "regular" wing, a move
ment was started with intent to
settle the question whether the senate
shall remain conservative, become
radical or be thrown into political
chaos as far as concerns any co
herent policy in regard to the admin
istration's legislative program.
Senator Aldrich called the ''regular"
republicans together and confronted
them with a grim description of the
possible effect of their apparent de
feat in the hands of the "insurgents"
republicans and democrats in the
fight over the traffic agreement sec
tion of the administration railroad
bill. He asked his associates whether
they were ready to submit to domi
nation by such a combination. Any
such surrender, he warned then!,
mernt the failure, of the Taft poli
cies and the downfall of conservative
control, not only in congress, but
in the republican party generally.
Someone reminded Senator Aldrich
that senators then and there gathered
together were not in agreement on all
points. Whereupon he replied that
they must get together and agree to
to stand together and let the details
be secondary. Otherwise he said,
congress would adjourn without a
single item of the Taft program ac
complished. The entire tone of this conference
was belligerent toward the "insurgents'
This was the dominent note:
"Let us get together and stand as
a unit against every insurgent propo
sition. If the insurgents propose any
thing good we'll make it over bodily
and put it through as our own; if
Cedar Creek Base Ball Dance.
The base ball team at Cedar Creek
is making plans for a series of dances
which the organization will give from
time to time for the support of the
nine. The first dance wi'l be held
there at Sayles Hall a week from Satur
day night. The music has not been
arranged for as yet. Mr. J. F. Wolff
of that city was in town yesterday on
a litt'e business trip and incidentally
to do some work in connection with
the team. It was found the M. W. A.
orchestra was engaged for that night
which was quite a dissapointment to
the representative, for the boys had
expected co secure the services of the
promising Plattsmouth orchestra. The
boys are taking up the proposition
in the hopes of getting the team on
a firm foundation for the coming
season.
Napanees Complete Engagement.
The ten members of the Napanee
company, the show troupe which held
the board at the Majestic this week,
left last night for Burlington, Ja.,
where they will fill an engagement.
They drew big crowds at the little
theater every night and the proprietor
was very well pleased with the pat
ronage while they were in the city.
A big box of pink chalk and a diminu
tive feather duster, (the use of which
cannot be explained, for their was no
direction on the box) were found on
the depot counter this morning, in
company with a pair of feminine slip
pers. Seems the actresses forgot part
of their makeup when they left this
city. The picture show will con
tinue this week with a strong bill of
pictures and if the talent can be se
cured, the proprietor will have Tuesday
as amateur night, when he will put
on the amateur stunts in addition to
a few rolls of films.
Thinks Teias Is Great.
Bruce Rosenerans returned this
morning from a week's trip through
they propose anything bad we'll stamp
it out." 1
It was stated without reservation
that President Taft had been fully
advised of the situation and was en
tirely in sympathy with the plan and
virtually pledged to it. It was said in
behalf of the conferees that while the
measures which would be resorted to
were heroic, they were neceassary in
defenese of the administration and
integrity of the republican partv and
us a means to any effective legisla
tion whatever.
The striking thing about the whole
situation, to the impartial observer,
is the evidently sincere conviction on
the part of each side that it is itself
loyal to republicanism and wholly
in the right and that the other, either
wilfully recreant or fantastically self
deceived, is more or less consciously
a band of public enemies. Whichever
side is right the battle has assumed
deadly and certainly historic propor
tions. A good many politicians, look
ing beyong the moment and the con
crete subjects of discord right at hand,
are asking what angle the struggle
will take in the next republican na
tional convention.
Meanwhile the democrats in both
houses are looking on with a "go
it husband, go it bear" expression.
They say that"whiehever loses we
will win" or as Senator Bailey put
it the other day on the floor:
"The only policy we have in this
affair is to keep both of you fellows
irritated."
Representative Needham, a con
servative from California, said that
insurgency in its national aspect is
rapidly becoming anti-Taft and anti
protection. "When this fact becomes
generally known there will be a change
in the sentiment of the countrv re
garding ic." he added.
Texas and the south and he says
he is "absolutely dippy about the
country." He had many interesting
experiences and the things he saw
were worth five years of his life accord
ing to his versions. His trip extended
down .as far as Galveston w here he
spent a few days and then left for
Matamoras, Mexico, just over the
border line of that country. They
were in hopes of seeing an exhibition
of the national game, the bull fight,
but the event did not take place.
The Plattsmouth boy enjoyed a num
ber of horseback rides in Texas over
the ranches of the company with which
he is connected and on one of his trips
ran across a big rattler. The snake was
killed and Bruce now has the string
of rattles with ten buttons on it as
a souvenir of his trip. The cold weath
er that was so disagreeable here a few-
weeks ago was hardly noticed in Texas
and aside from a cool wind, a 'Norther'
as they called it, there was no change
in the weather. The rains through
the state have been abundant and the
corn is knee high in the fields with some
patches as high as four feet. The am
ount of garden truck, cabbages, onions,
etc., being raised there this spring is
enormous and the country Beems to
be in a fine state of prosperity. Bruce
started on the trip with Samuel Shu
maker, Claude Shumaker and C. M.
Scarle but two of the men were forced to
return home on cacount of business
matters a number of days ago.
Claude Shumaker completed the
journey wfth Bruce and orrived in
this city today.
Misses Myrtle and Madora Jacks
and Mrs. E. J. Doolin left on one of
the early trains of the day for a short
visit at Omaha.
Mrs. 0. L. Chrissinter of Shenen.
doah departed for her home this morn
ing after being a visitor a few dnvs
at the home of her son C. Long who
lives south of the city on a farm.
"A GALLANT BRIGAND.
The Tact of Woman Saved Her From
Being Robbed.
The saying that there is honor
j among thieves surest the thought
j that if the virtue began a little fur-
thcr back it- might prevent any
j practice of the profession. How
ever, brigandage being an establish
ed fact, one may permit himself to
admire the gallantry displayed by
the bandit whose exploit is describ
ed by Andrew 1". Crosse in his book
"Around About the Carpathians."
A certain lady, the widow of a
wealthy man of title, inhabited a
lonely castle not far from the route
between Buda and Vienna. Ono
morning 6he received a polite noto
requesting her to provido that night
at 10 o'clock a supper for twelve
gentlemen.
She knew at once the character
of her self invited guests and deviB
ed a novel mode of defense. She
dared not Bend for aid, for she
knew every road between the castle
and any town would bo watched to
prevent communication, bo she
made her own plans.
At 10 that evening up rode an
armed band of twelve. The great
gate of the outer court was thrown
open as if for an honored guest.
The lady herself, richly dressed,
stood at the entrance to receive.
She at once selected the chief, bade
him welcome and gavo orders that
the horses should bo well cared for.
Then, taking the arm of the chief,
she led the way to the dining room.
A goodly feast was spread on the
table, and the sideboards were cov
ered with a magnificent display of
gold and silver plate.
The leader of the robber band
started back in surprise; but, recov
ering his presence of mind, he calm
ly seated himself by his hostess.
When the meal was nearly finish
ed the chief took out his watch.
"Madam," he said, "the happiest
moments of my life have always
been the shortest. I have another
engagement tonight which I must
keep, but before I go allow me to
tell you that in appealing to my
honor as you have tonight you have
saved me from the commission of a
crime. Bad os I am, no one ever
appealed to my honor in vain. As
for my men, I charge them to take
nothing from this house. He who
disobeys dies that instant."
The brigand then asked for pa
per and pen and wrote a few sen
tences in strange characters.
"If you or your retainers ever
lose anything," he added to his
hostess, "post this publicly in the
nearest town, and I pledge my word
the missing article shall be return
ed." The band departed. A few weeks
later the chief was captured and
hanged. He proved to be the im
poverished younger son of a noble
family of Hungary.
Fox'a Wit.
The following is one of the many
stories told about Charles James
Fox, the English statesman and or
ator: Mr. Hare, envoy to the court of
Foland, occupied rooms in the
statesman's "diggings." lie was a
great personal friend and indeed a
man of very similar tastes. They
were each the objects of continual
inquiry on the part of tradesmen
and others. One day Fox, looking
out of the upper window, descried
two men watching the house and
waiting. With a genial smile he
shouted, "Pray, gentlemen, will you
tell me, axe you Fox hunting or
Hare hunting today?"
The bailiffs were bo tickled that
they went away.
Treasure Trove.
Treasure trove is the description
given to valuables, such as coin,
gold or silver plate or bullion, found
hidden in the ground or some pri
vate place, the owner being un
known. According to the Roman
law, such treasure, if found by a
man on his own land, belonged to
the finder, but if found on the land
of another was divided between the
finder and the landowner. Accord
ing to English law treasure trove
belongs to the Btate, and conceal
ment by the finder is an indictable
offense, puuisbable by fine and im
prisonment. If, however, the treas
ure is not actually covered by earth
it belongs to the finder.
After Her.
"Darling," said the count, "I
have loved you from the moment I
first feasted my eyes upon you."
"It is very kind of you to say so,"
replied the daughter of the Ameri
can millionaire, "but I am compel
led to inform you that I wouldn't
give 10 cents to become a count
ess."
"Well, please don't engage your
self to anybody else until I can com
municate with my brother, who is a
marquis. We must get you into our
family somehow." Chicago Itec-ord-llerald.
