Excitement Promised Delegates Headquar

ance Already Being in
Great Demand
A special from Denver, under date of
March 19 ays- The city promises to
be the ccene of highly exciting times
v hen the democratic national conven
tion meets here July 7th. Headquar
ters are being secured for candidates
for the nomination of president and
vice president daily and it appears
there will be a large number of aspir
ants for the official plums of the demo
cratic party.
Bryan Speak
W. J. Bryan is to be in Denver, April
6th to deliver an address. Gov. John
A. Johnson of Minnesota is expected at
a later date. Judge Geo. Gray of
Wilmington, Deleware, has already se
cured headquarters here, from which to
make a campaign for nomination for
president. Sylvester Chanler, lieutenant
governor of New York is expected to
open headquarters here also within a
short time and begin a campaign for
the presidential nomination, backed by
the voters of the delegation from the
Empire state.
Attracts Attention
The nomination for vice president
seems to be one that attracts more
than ordinary attention. It is doubtful
if there will be a single uninstructed
state delegation at the convention
pledged on the choice of vice president
and the selection of a man for that
position on the ticket will be thoroughly
spirited. A score of aspirants for the
place have already visited Denver either
STEAL THEIR
HOST'S GARMENTS
Taking Advantage of His
Absence Two Culprits
Steal McFariand's
Clothes
While the rain came down in torrents
last evening, Bert Ellidge and a friend
were visiting A. J. McFarland at his
apartments in the Guthmann building,
above the laundry. The fire burning
low Mr. McFarland stepped out to get
some wood, being gone only a moment,
but on returning found an overcoat and
a dress suit gone. He immediately no
tified the police, who began a search
for the missing garments. In visiting
the "Bum Shanty" Officer Rainey
found that two people had been there
offering some clothing for sale which
tallied with the missing articles, and
the fellows at the shanty thought that
the parties had gone only a short dis
tance up the track then. Officer Rainey
hastily departed in the direction of the
city pumping station but was unable to
find the missing men or the stolen gar
ments. Chief Fitzgerald, in order that the
culprit should not escape, notified the
police in Omaha to be on the look out
for the clothing thieves, and also de
parted for that place himself, and was
rewarded by a very clever capture of
the man Ellige, who he got at LaPlatte
this morning and lodged in the county
bastile. The stealing of all kinds of
articles is getting to be to common,
and the rapid manner in which the
police force is gathering them in will
serve to lessen the depredations. The
full extent of the law in cases of this
kind and of a like nature, is good and
wholesome medicine and will in the end
prove effective.
Got His Shoes Filled
W. D. Wheeler claims the honor of
having driven the slowest team in Cass
county last evening, saying that he put
in all the time it was raining, going
five miles, and when he has arrived at
his journey's end and had the team in
the stable, the stars were shining again
after the rain. He claims that it rained
hard enough for the water to run
down and fill his shoes.

Dr. King's New Life Pills. They bring

biliousness, constipation and malaria.
If they disappoint you the price will be
cheerfully refunded at F. G. Fricke &
Co., drug store.
in person or by representative and will
open headquarters here during the con
vention.
New Building
The new auditorium in which the con
vention is to meet has never been used
for convention purposes before. The
meeting of the democratic convention
will be the first gathering ever held
within its walls as it has just recently
been completed. It seats 12,500, cost
$550,000, is cool and airy, and is an
ideal place for a convention. Denver
has a large hotel district and the con
vention hall is situated in the midst of
it. A few. minutes' walk from any
hotel in the city is all that is necessary
to reach the convention hall and this
circumstance alone is regarded as an
immense advantage for the comfort of
the delegates.
Hotel and restaurant keepers here
have pledged themselves in writing to
the national democratic committee not
to raise hotel rates and the price of
meals and lodging will be the same
during the convention a3 when there is
no crowd in the city.
Many Notables
It is expected that a large gathering
of notable politicians of the democratic
persuasion will come to Denver during
the convention. Already elaborate
suites of rooms in the leading hotels
have been reserved for men who are
well known leaders of the party. It is
expected that nearly all the candidates
for president and vice president will
make preliminery trips to Denver and
deliver addresses here while looking
over the ground with a view to outline
their votes in the convention.
MISSOURI PACIFIC
STRIKING BACK
Denies Right of Commission
to Dectata Rates, and
Appeals to U. S.
Gouri
The Lincoln Journal, in speaking of
the Missouri Pacific rate matter says:
"Bailie P. Waggener, general counsel
for the Missouri Pacific, has attacked
the power of the state to regulate or
attempt to regulate rates on the Mis
souri Pacifice in this state. He has at
tacked the two-cent passenger rate
law, the Aldrich freight rate reduction
bill, the anti-pass law and the railway
commission act, alleging that the en
forcement of the;je acts results in the
confiscation of the property of the
road without due process; the en
forcement of these acts in effect would
regulate interstate rate and interfere
with interstate commerce, forcing the
company to reduce interstate rates to
keep them on a par or below the sum
of outside and interstate local rates
This attack was made in the filing of
an amended cross bill in the case of
the state of Nebraska, Attorney Gen
eral W. T. Thompson and the state
railway commission begun in the state
supreme court and transferred to the
federal court. The amended cross bil
was filed in the Lincoln division of the
court, and asks for an injnnction to
prevent the railroad commission from
interfering with the management of
the railroad property.

TOTH
Father Bradley of St. John's Church Explains
the New Law Regarding Marriages in
that Church, Effective on and
After Easter Sunday
Flattsmouth, Neb., 3-19-'08.
Editor Journal:
Your account in last, evening's issue
of the new legislation regarding mar
riage in the Catholic church is in main
correct, but in two or three important
points is liable to give rise to miscon
ceptions. 1st. The pre-nuptial engagement,
whether oral or written, is not made
more obligatory than heretofore, but it
is provided to insure the better against
hasty and ill-considered action that no
engagement or promise of marriage
shall be recognized as having legal
binding force, except it be in writing
and duly witnessed. This provision
would only be of importance in case of
difficulty arising through one party re
fusing to fulfil his or her part. Verbal
engagements have, of course, the same
force in conscience as they ever had.
2d. The general law of the church
forbidding the marriage of Catholics
with non-Catholics remains absolutely
unchanged. Dispensations from the
general law may be obtained as before,
where reasons good and sufficient in the
eyes of competent authority, are shown
to exist. But, whereas, heretofore
such a marriage, when entered into
before a civil magistrate or a non
Catholic minister was recognized by
the church as valid and binding, al
though regarded as an unlawful and
sinful (because rebellious) act, on and
after next Easter Sunday (April 19th)
when the new regulations go into effect,
it will not only be unlawful, but in the
eyes of the church void and of no effect,
in a word, no marriage at all.
3d. It is to be observed that this
ruling applies only in the case where
one or both of the parties to marriage
is a Catholic. It is, therefore, incorrect
to say that "the church will recognize

that to deny the charge would be worse

only marriages performed by apriett."
As she has always done, she will con
tinue to recognize, as valid and binding,
marriages, in whatever way ratified
and contracted, by baptised Christians
outside of her pale. This may, at first
sight, appear superfluous, but upon re
flection one will recognize that it
becomes important in certain con
tingencies, is case for instance that
husband or wife or both at any time
subsequent to marriage wish to enter
the Catholic church and there has been
an attempted divorce.
To put the whole - matter of this new
legislation in a nutshell on and after
Easter Sunday next . the only valid and
real marriage where a Catholic is con
cerned as one of the contracting
parties will be such as is contracted
before the priest in charge of souls or
otherwise lawfully deputed for the
purpose in the place where the mar
riage is celebrated.
It may be of some general interest to
mention that the recent enactment of
Pius X is in reality not new legislation.
It is merely an extension to the whole
Catholic world of the provisions of the
decree "Tametsi" (so called from the
word with which it begins) of the fam
ous council of Grent (A. D. 1542-15G3)
invalidating clandestine marriages, i. e.
marriages not entered into in the
presence of the proper witnesses and
in compliance with ecclesiastical regu
lations. For various reasons this de
cree was in abeyance in some countries,
until now by the Pope's recent actions
it is made applicable in every part of
the world.
The prominence given to this matter
by your front-page article of yesterday
evening will, I trust, be deemed ample
excuse for my troubling you and your
readers with this communication.
Yours respectfully,
W. F. BuADfrnv.
Rector St. John's Catholic church.
