Candidates. I From the Lincoln Journal. 1 Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 18. To the Editor of The State Journal: As a re publican I wish you would put up to every Nebraska aspirant for the repub ican nomination for congress and par ticularly 1 to Congressman Pollard, the question whether, if nominated and elected, he will cast his vote for Joe Cannon for speaker of the next house; also the further question, if he proposes to vote for Cannon, why does he not vote instead for a republican speaker of the progressive type. I am open to persuasion on the part of party as sociates, but my present conviction is that I am being goldbricked when ask ed to vote for a republican congress man of the progressive kind who, on reaching Washington, will put his pro gressive principles in cold storage with the distinguished reactionary who as speaker has blocked Roosevelt policies as much as he could and thereby given some hopes to the democracy, at least in the middle west. A vote for Joe c DOC 0 AIL Xo improvement of a house will show- up so well for so little money as Wall Paper, and its so cheap. Bring the size of your rooms and we will gladly figure it ouHorj-ou.

Come and look at them. 0 ooc WALL PAPER i Cannon looks to me like a vote for all that he stands for and a vote against all that he opposes, and I wish to know whether any would-be republican con gressman from Nebraska will have the hardihood to make his race in Nebraska this year on that platform.

D., Sends Details of Sale The Journal is in receipt of a com munication from Davfd P. Thomas, U. S. Commissioner, at Wasta, S. D., re lative to the auction sale of public lands adjacent to that town on September 16. Mr. Thomas states that he is in receipt of many communications from parties in this vicinity relative to this matter, which he finds it impossible to answer, owing to the heavy work in his office, hence he asks that the following brief synopsis of the sale be given: "That by an Act of Congress, certain lands of the government domain were given to the State of South Dakota, for the purpose of building up and develop ing the State and its various institutions. Approximately 27,000 acres of this land adjoining Wasta, S. D., on the P. R. C. & N. W. Ry., (Northwestern line,) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder, on September 16, 1908. This is, strictly speaking, State Land. There are no requirements as to resid ence, occupancy, cultivation or improve ments. I migbt add that the lands to be sold are the choicest lands of the State of South Dakota, having been selected by a commission several days ago, prior to settlement, thus giving them a vast area of land to select from and I feel no hesitancy in saying that it is positively the choicest land to be found in this section of the country. I would suggest that all interested part ies who desire full information and particulars regarding the land, the terms of sale, and the various details in connection therewith, correspond with the Secretary of the Wasta Com merical Club for full details. Berge is Confident "I believe that Bryan will carry Ne braska by several thousands," said George V. Berge, candidate for the democratic nomination for governor of this state, to a reporter of the Fremont Herald the other day. "I have traveled over the state con siderably of late," said Mr. Berge. "I have sounded democratic sentiment in many counties and I am convinced that Mr. Bryan will carry the state in Nov ember. Unless some of us are badly duped his plurality will be 25,000. That is the way it looks a, present and would not be surprised at a democratic landslide that would envelope the whole country in a wave of Bryan enthusiasm I think that the prospects are very fa vorable for a democratic victory. 'As to the gubernatorial situation I believe that I will be nominated. It seems to me that that is sure. I am naturally anxious to be the nominee of the party and after that to be elected I desired to carry on the work of pro gressiveness in Nebraska according to the standards of the democratic party , "Thirty-Cent Clubs" Mr. Bryan's Indiana friends are mak ing a most effective and sensible reply to the New York Tribune's sneering and insolent, "Won't somebody con tribute 30 cents to the Bryan fund?" They are banding themselves together into clubs known as "Thirty-Cent clubs, " each member giving just that amount to the campaign fund. The first club organized raised $20 the first day, and has "hardly begun to fight." Similar clubs are being organized all over the state. It is a good idea, we see no reason why it should be confined to Indiana There isn't a Bryan club in Nebraska or any other state, for that matter, whose every member would not gladly give 30 cents as a retort courteous to the Tribune's insulting jeer at Mr, Bryan and the democratic party lor ap pealing to the plain peorJe for campaign funds. The World-Herald suggests, to the several hundred Bryan Volunteer clubs and other democratic organizations in the state, that the Indiana example is not a bad one to follow. This fund could, and should, be entirely separate and distinct from other democratic com- paign funds, in order the more emphat ically to rebuke the leading Taft organ of the country, the New York Tribune. Omaha World-Herald. In Justice Court today there were three small cases filed and Justice Arch er decided the case of Wilson & Son vs. Stanley and Renshaw, finding for the defendants. He could not find that a contract for the work in question had been made by the plaintiffs and de fendants believing that the mistake re sulted from a misunderstanding of the parties. The Journal is authorized to state on behalf of the baseball management that anyone attending the ball game this evening who is dissatisfied with the game at the end of the third inning, can call at the box office and get his money back.

Has Now Shut Out France from All Diplomatic Connection at Caracas. TAKES A LITTLE OCEAN TRIP Invites the British Minister to Accom pany Him Thereon. Considered a Significant Move Dutch Warship Denied Even Com munication with Shore at Ia Guaira. Caracas. Aug. 10. A sensation has been caused in diplomatic circles by the refusal of President Castro to per mit the Brazilian minister to take charge of French interests in Venezue la, although Ir. Jose Paul, the Vene zuelan minister of foreign affairs, originally agreed to this arrangement As a consequence of the attitude of President Castro the foreign minister has Indited a second note to the effect that the government now refuses to accede to this arrangement because the dispute between Venezuela iind France hears a close relation to Vene zuela's dispute with the United States and the promised arrangement would therefore endanger the continuance of friendly relations with Ruizil. Significant Invitation. The French interests necessarily are being neglected, and many monthly in stallments due to French claimants are still uncollected. It is very unlikely in view of the present state of affairs that President Castro will permit the representative of any of the foreign countries to take the French interests In hand. President Cflstro has left here for a ' trip to Rarquislmeto, em barking on the gunboat Itestaurador for Tiicneas. which is about twenty five miles from Puerto Cabello. The president invited the Rritish minister to accompany him, which Is believed to be significant in view of the present crisis. Fxcitement at LaGuaira. When the Dutch cruiser Gelderland. after taking away Minister de Reus, came back to La (Juaira without saint ing. and with decks in fighting trim, the greatest excitement reigned here in Caracas, as it was known that Castro's new French coast defense guns mount ed on the mountain side above La Guaira and on the loach had been maae ready to meet any emergency. Speculation was rife as to whether the warship would bring an apology for the de Reus letter and the stoning of Consul Lopez In Curacoa. a demand for the immediate release of Carlos .Perret Gentil. a Dutch merchant of La (Jnaira recently imprisoned on a con traband charge, or an ultimatum of some kind. Not Allowed to Communicate. The curious were doomed to disap pointment, however, as the unexpected happened, as it usually does here. The cruiser was not allowed to com mtmlcate with the shore, or deliver any of the documents which It brought, presumably because of its failure to salute on this and a recent occasion bus been considered an offense by President Castro. So the Gelderland had to return to Curacoa -with its mis sion unfulfilled. Embargo on Curacoa Trade. On learning of the stoning of his con sul in Curocoa and the desecration of the Venezuelan shield and consulate there General Castro lost no time in severing diplomatic relations with the queen of Holland, pending an apology and Indemnification for the Insults al leged to have been recently suffered. He also put an absolute embargo on IMMIGRATION DECREASES Seventy-Two Per Cent Fewer Foreign ers Arrive In July This Year Than in July Last Year. Washington. Ang. 19.

Law and Order Reign Once More at the Capital of the Prai rie State. ONE REGIMENT 13 TO GO HOME Citizens Hold a Lively Meeting and De nounce Mob Rule. Resolutions Adopted That Draw No Color Line Grand Jury Get Busy Klein Will Not lie Surrendered. ' '"Springfield, III., Aug. 10. That those in authority here consider the danger of serious trouble In the race war here to be practically over was made evi dent when Governor Deneen Issued or ders that the First infantry of Chicago shall return to thsit city today. The only piece of violence reported during the day occurred on North Eighth street. A sinall crowd of white men and boys set uon a negro and leat him severely. He managed to break away and ran. pursued by his assail ants. The affair was reported to the limrquarters of General Wells, but the roughs had scattered by the time soJ dlers reached the scene. Iw and Order Must Iteign. Following Governor Deneen's proc lamation calling upon all citizens to aid In restoring order and promoting justice, an enthusiastic meeting of business men was held at the Chamber of Commerce. It was called to order by Ir. K. A. Hall, who introduced E. L. Chapin as chairman. The lattpr launched into a vigorous address in the course of which he said that "the question lief ore us is whether law and order shall prevail in this community, or whether it shall be committed to the rule of riot, ruin and rebellion. We love this city, and no nol. jarge or sinall. shall defv the law." Color IJne Is Cut Out. A torrent of applause followed the speech, and was continued when other orators delivered themselves if similar sentiments. The resolutions had been previously drawn by Dr. J. W. Scott, who was health officer of the state under Governor Altgcld. but when his production was read Dr. Scott discov ered with a show of anger that to the original demand for the protection of "life. liberty and property to every citizen." somebody had added "with out reference to color or nationalitv Dr. Scott protested against these words as "inexpedient." but their adoption was unanimous and with great enthus lasm. Satisfaction Is expressed by citizens and local newspapers at the personnel or tne grand jury which was set to work by Judge Creighton to investigate the riot. Grand Jury Goes to Work. The first session of the grand Jury was devoted to hearing witnesses Ir the case of assault upon Mrs. Hallam George Richardson, the negro whom Mrs. Hallam identified as her assail ant, although not positively, was in dicted. Mrs. Hallam, members of her family. Including Hallam and the police who responded to a call for help after the crime, were tne witnesses who told their stories. Richardson protests his Innocence.
