Nkw Yokk papers inform us that

is more popular anions the mountain
lions of Colorado and ljcars of Missis
sippi than with either the bulls or
bears of Wall street, or in New York
generally. The Payne incident was
but one among many which went to
show that something had to le done
if Roosevelt were to feel in any degree
sure of New York's support. Out of
these circumstances grew Governor
O'dell's sudden summons to Washing
ton, and the consequent powwow that
followed. Wonder ifO'delland Piatt
at that powwow didn't guarantee to
deliver a delegation at the next na
tional convention, solid for the cowboy
statesman and Panama puncher?

A Democratic Leader
John Sharp Williams, the new dem
ocratic leader in t he Nat ional Ilouseof
Representatives, is already receiving
congratulations of his party for what
he has accomplished during the last
few weeks. I'nder his leadership t here
is a greater harmony and spirit of co
operation among the democrats, than
has existed for several years. His lirst
success was in dealing w ith the ques
tion of Cuban reciprocity. On this sub
ject the democrats were divided: some
favored the bill as it was introduced
by the Ways and Means Committee,
others opposed it, and still others did
not know exactly where they stood.
Mr. Williams united the party on the
ol icy of object ing to the rule exclud
ing the consideration of amendments,
but of votiug for the treaty "as a step
in the direction of freer trade." At
the same time the action of the party
caucus was not made absolutely bind
ing, so that the democrats who came
from districts where their constituents
were against the bill, could vote
against it without exposing themselves
to the charge of party disloyalty.
Klit of these democrats opposed the
bill, but the rest of the party were as
united in support of it as were the re
publicans.
In the issue suddenly raised by events
in Panama, Mr. Williainsshowed great
skill in preventing the democrats from
taking the unpopular and losing side
of the question. Although himself an
advocate of the Nicaraguan route, he
realized that the people favored the
steps taken toward the acquisition of
the Panama canal, and that it would
be unwise for the democratic party to
oppose the Administration on this sub
ject, lie prevented members of the
party from talking or introducing res
olutions on the Panama question, and
advised them to wait an opportune mo.
ment for censuring Roosevelt for his
haste in recognizing Panama and his
high handed methods during the ne
gotiations with the new republic.
The democrats have confidence in
their new leader and the republicans
recognize his ability. His power over
the minority is all the more remarkable
as he has no committeeships or other
rewards to bestow upon his followers.
When the democrats get control of the
House, John Sharp Williams will be
"Mr. Speaker."

A Successful Enterprise.
The PJattsmouth Telephone com
pany is one of the few local enterprises
that has proven an unqualified success
and the promoters are entitled to great
credit for the manner in which they
have overcome opposition and placer
the business on a sound linancial foot
lug. J hey tuinisheu the necessary
capital to carry them through the ex
perimental stages, and now that sue
cess has crowned their efforts, they
propose to share the good results with

oast Ihiee years, and with the new
phones added to the system will de

ten per cent, dividend on the entire
issue of stock and lay aside suflicient
for all repairs lor the future. Thi
stock is nilt edge security and could
he placed in the eastern market with
out dilliculty, hut as the strength ol
the IndeiHMMlent telephone move
ment throughout the United States
is the co-operation, it is the desire of

as many stock holders as xissihle among
t he patrons of the company. Mr. J.
W. Kdgeiton, of Lincoln, has chargt
of the stock soliciting and will make a

A Close Call.
Albert Nyden met with an accident
Sunday afternoon which was certainly
a very close call for his earthly exist
ence. He was out hunting, and was in
the act of shooting at a rabbit when
the gun exploded, a portion of the bar
rel passing so close to his head with
such territic force as to carry his cap
juite a distance in the air and knock
ing Nyden senseless from the force of
the explosion. He remained uncon
scious for some time, but sustained no
other injuries. It is supposed the e;
posion was caused oy the barrel of the
gun becoming clogged with mud. The
piece blown off was about four inches
in length, and had it struck Mr
Nvden he would never have lived to
tell the tale.
Death of Louis Cole.
Louis Cole, who was taken to the
Emanuel Hospital, at maha, about

time had been making his home with
his brother, W. T. Cole and family, of
this city. He was seventy-four years
of age, aiida most highly respected cit
izen. Ilesidcsother relatives, an only
son, Harry, survives him. The it
mains were taken to Murray thi
Jhursday) morning, where services
were held and interment made in th
Lewiston cemetery.

Serious Accident.
As our young friend, Geo. E. Rerger,
was returning home from this city on
"Wednesday night of last week, and
when near the Jean school house, his
team became frightened and started to
run. In some manner he lost control
of them by letting one of the lines drop.
Before he could regain it he was dump
ed out on the roadside, sustaining such
injuries as to rentier him unconscious
for several hours. About half-past
three next morning he revived and
walked home, a distance of about two
miles. His left leg and side was con
siderably bruised, as was also his face
and head. We did not learn the ex
tent of damages to the buggy. The
Journal is pleased to learn that Mr.
Berger is almost his former self again,
and it is very, fortunate indeed that
his injuries are no worse.
