HON. GEORGE W. BERGE MORE ENGINES FOR " THE BURLINGTON A Very large Order Being Delivered by Eastern Shops. ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY LARGE ONES For its Business In the States of Middle West.' j the Go to Nebraska City Saturday. According to the following, from the Nebraska City News, the "Bed Sox" of this city will cros-i bats with a pick ed nine if cur neighboring city next Saturday: "Arrangements have been made with the base ball team of l'latts mouth to a me to this city on Satur day afternoon and play a game. The game will be an interesting oi.o for the riattsmouth team is sii:l to be a strong one." DISCOVER OIL IN OLD WELL The above U the ticket nominated by the republicans of Nebraska at Lincoln last evening, and It will be seen that Hon. George L. Sheldon, for governor, won out in the second round. Even If the Journal did fail in getting its choice for governor on the democratic ticket, we certainly feel very much gratified to note that our favorite among all the republican candidates for the highest office In the gift of the people of Nebraska won out so easily, much more so, indeed, than Norrls Brown for United States sen ator, who was claimed to be the stronK man. There is but little use denying the fact that the republicans demonstrated a great deal or wisuom when they placed the ('ass county man at the head of their ticket, for George Sheldon is not of that narrow contracted stripe who think they know it all and when sifted down they know but precious little more than lit t 1 1 ,!, - Tnnann 1 common people, mine iue ouuiuai does not anlltate with Senator Shel don's side of the house, we have al ways held him in the highest esteem as a gentleman and scholar, and a man with such firmness and ability to make a good governor, not only in spirit, but with determination and in clination to do what bethinks to be just and right. The candidate for lieutenant gover nor, Judge M. R Hopeweh, of Te kamah, Burt county, Is another of the same stripe as Senator Sheldon, and is a very able and conscientious gentle man. Judge Hopewell, while a resi dent of Nebraska for many years, was reared in Worth county, Missouri, at the county seat of which the Journal people conducted a newspaper for ten iort re ne rnmes of one of the best J VMI Ut families in 5Ilssourl. Another candidate in whom we were much Interested and that is Sec retary of State Galusha, who was up for a re-nomination, our, got oeauii' fullv sat down upon in the first round He slmDly received his just dues, and after his defeat, it Is said, he sneaked out of the convention hall to seek a snot wherein he could vent his spleen upon those who could not stand his ofllcial record. The above gentlemen are all that we felt deeply interested In so far as republican nominations are concerned and while this paper will tflve loyal auDDort to Hon. A. C. Shallenbergcr, a Deer of Senator Sheldon in every thins that sroes to makeup noble manhood, the Interests of the people nf Nebraska will be well guarded with either of these gentlemen in the chief executive's chair.' Hon. Gcorf L. Sholdon. The republican nominee for gover nnr ia thirtv-Bli vears of age. ne was 'born on a farm near Nehawka, In Cass county, and grew to manhood on the old farm. Mr. Sheldon Is state senator, having been a member of the senate from Cass county for two terms, lie attended the University of Ne braska, being prominent in all mat' tor nertalnlng to the scnooi as a siu innt tai-ini the degree of B.

Leyda, Ound building. Work promptly and neatly don xnl charges reasonable A Bigger Man in the Hour of Defeat Than on the High Wane of Victory. The following from the pen of that rock-ribbed democrat, Judge Ivlgar Howard, reflects the sentiments of the Journal so well that we re-publish the same. The article appeared in the Fremont Pally Herald of Tuesday morning: "Any man can look large w.hen riding the, high wave of victory, but it is only the really large men who can still look large in the public" eye when low down in the trough of the sea of defeat. "George W. Berge was a larger man in the hour when he went down to de feat In the democratic state conven tion than he had been before. He ex pected to be nominated. All the signs pointed to bis nomination. It had been impossible for anybody to get a satisfactory estimate of the vote which would be polled by the opposing candidates for governor, but nine out of ten delegates honestly believed Berge would win on the first ballot He believed it. and there was added to the crushing force of defeat in the democratic convention the thought of the humiliation he would sufTer when he must stand before the populist con- entlon and make a plea for the sup port of his successful rival. He faced the situation with a courage and energy beyond compare. He told his populist friends that if he had been nominated he should have expected upportof Mr. Shallenberger. He told them how Shallenberger had given him royal support two years ago, at a time when Shallenberger had hoped to receive the democratic nomination. For more than five hours George Berge labored with the populist convention to do the part of honor toward Shallen berger, and at length his efforts were crowned with success. He was asked how he could support such a railroad man as Shallenberger, and he replied that he would not listen to such a charge against Shallenberger without truth behind It. ne declared that the record of Shallenberger on the anti-monopoly question was as good as that of any populist, and that he was entitled to the support of every popu list who loved his principles more than he loved his party name, because Shallenberger had been as true as steel to all principles advocated by populists. "As further evidence of his great ness Mr. Berge promised that the su preme effort of his life would be put forth for Mr. Shallenberger in the approaching campaign, and he warned all his friends that the best way lor them to prove their friendship for him would be to aid him in carrying the state for Shallenberger. By his atti tude in defeat Mr. Berge endeared himself to all democrats and to all DODulists who are fighting with the democrats for common principles." 'Reports from headquarters are to effect that the Burligton road' is re ceiving an order of B'" engines for its business in the states of the middle west. The order is the largest that has ever been placed w ith the lo- comotlve factories and the new ma chines will assist wonderfully in sim plifying the traction problems that confront the trainmen. If coupled to gether the engines would make a train one and four-lift lis miles long and would weigh 4,o2O,000 pounds. Of these engines, thirty that have been delivered are of the passenger type from the Baldwin works and loo arc of the freight engine, prairie type, fifty coining from the Baldwin works and fifty from the American shops. The new freight engines weigh 3t:s,- ooo pounds and are 13.43 feet long with tender. They carry 8,000 gallons of water and 32,000 pounds of coal. They have six drivers, a single pair of front tiucks, and a pair of trailers. They are known technically as R 5. The new freight engines combine On tha Property of E. E.

"Karly in March," says tin slate incut, "Secretary Hitchcock learned that tin luueinlment had lieeu Klli'd in to the statehood Mil lu I In senate, known ns the Warren amendment, l.y which alleged mineral locations under the federal minim,' laws on Oklahoma school lands would he validated ami tlie new st.ili' would have lo pick out oilier lands hi the place of those thus lost. The secretary reached the con clusion that the claims of the parties who would hciicllt hy the amendment were entirely without merit and that the whole scheme hore some resem blance to a raid upon the treasury." When the bill. Willi the Warren amendment, was la confereiico coin niltlee, aocordlnt; to the statement, Sec retary Hitchcock sent to the eoiiiinitteo a brief deflnrlnff tho alleged mineral clnliiM of the parties wero void; that the parties knew they wero void; that their Invalidity was not dim to nny mere technical defect, but to the. fact that tlm claim wero set up In vlclatlon of the oxpioss gnuetiiient of rongrt'HH and tlio only reason for making tho claims was that tlm parties had laid plans for Hltpplnir Into tho sliileliood hill a measure like tho Warren 11 mend meat. Itoproseiitatlves of tho government told tho conmilllee tho beiicllclnrlos of tho ineiiHiiro wero an organized band who had been trying for several years, ever hIiico tho first discovery of nil In tho Cleveland region, to get the mln oral lands without making adeipiate payment. They had filed alleged claims all over the territory, so that If the measure passed all tho mineral wealth of tho terrilory would bo aci'iilrcd ly them without compensation. After (letailinir the successful substi tution of a leasing clause drawn by Secretary Hitchcock for the Warren uuicndmciit the statement concludes: "When the people of Oklahoma wero celebrating the piissajjo of the state hood bill it Is probable they did not know the new commonwealth caiiio near losing some of Its most valiuiblo poisessloiis, besides having a blot on Its escutcheon from having been made the victim of unscrupulous speculators on Its first entrance Into the I iilnn. "The most valuable mineral lands l'cloncrlng to tho territory are probably those near tho town of Cleveland, lu Puwneo county. One school section alone, containing oil and gas, Is esti mated to bo worth $.-,00,000, and there aro others In tho Immediate vicinity.
