II TIRELESS EMI Rosewater, the Republican Na tional Committmen and His Ne farious Scheme. If there is a particle of gratitude In the make-up of ,the Nebraska Popu list he must indeed be filled with kindly sentiment for the tireless ge nius who, as Republican national committeeman from this state, boils with Indignation at the very thought t-f how the Populists are tricked and imposed upon by the wicked Demo crats In the operation of the system .whereby fusion Is attempted. It must be comforting Indeed to the poor, ddfenseless Populists to know that one so filled with kindly solicitude for their political welfare is standing vigil over their political rights and privileges, and Is not afraid to rush Into court to sustain them whenever a plausible excuse for such action Is presented. There have been so many different kinds of actions at law begun in an effort to prevent fusion in this state that the latest does not seem apt to attract much atten'.on or arouse much Interest. The laws permitting fusion lave been assailed from every pos sible angle, but thus far no court has been found rendy.to disqualify a man simply because he Is endowed with a desire to vote the Populist ticket. It does not seem probable that any will be found ready to do it now, no mat ter upon what peculiar pretext It may be suggested, nor how havled with Indignation and solicitude tha person may be who suggests It. It is Inspiring to discover from the explanation offered of the filing of this suit that there Is one Individual In this state who Is watchful of the political morals of the commonwealth and so easily aroused to the defense of the down-trodden and flim-flam-mod Populists of the state. Certain ly every Populist In the state must feel his heart swell with gratitude to note that there Is one tireless guar dian of the popular rights sturdily determined that they shall not be made victims of any shell games or take any bud money. It will not escape the notice of the followers of thnt party that Mr. Hose water Is always able to easily get twice as mad about their wrongs as they are themselves, and Is always ready to go to far greater extremes than are they to shield them from their hated enemies, the despicable and aiidlclous conspiring Democrats. It Is comforting to th Populists, no doubt, to know that the national com mitteeman of the Republican party can find tlmo to devote so much en ergy to the protection of their lights and political Interests. Meantime It would certainly be n joke upon the fusion candidates If their endorsement by one of the pnr tles, nnd the consequent resignation of their dual party allegiance could now bo crowded off the official bal lot, especially In view of the fact that some of them have offered to pay fil ing fees as representatives of both parties, only to have them rejected by the secretary of state, under the of ficial opinion of the attorney gen eral. Why do these contumacious Popu lists Insist on annoying Mr. Rosewat er by "popping." Why can't they go vay back and sit down? Lincoln Star, Rep. Pumnged by Hal:. From Monday's Pally. Peter Melslnger and wife are spend ing today In the city, driving In from their home west of the city. They were among those who were unfor tunate enough to bo caught In the hall storm yesterday afternoon and they have suffered severe loss. The storm was most severe at their home and Mr. Melslnger states that ho will not get any corn at all this year while his oats which had not been cut are also a total loss. He brought In sev eral stalks of corn which show the terrific effect of the storm. They Rre literally stripped and cut to pieces and there Is not a show for the com to make up for this loss. Ho figures that his fields aro gone for good. The oats were literally beaten Into the ground and as near threshed as It Is possible. The wind was very strong with the hall and this aided largely in making the loss complete. As an Illustration of the storm's vio lence, Mr. Melslnger stntes that ho recently had his porch dosed around with brand new wire screen. The ball cut this wire as If tho work had been done with a knife, tho edges lult'g (icon cut through. Window lights were also broken out nnd sev eral parties who were driving In that neighborhood bad very severe bruis es given them when tho hall struofc then). There were hl-'o "ninny chid? ens nnd smnll fowl killed by the force with which the hijllstoncs ft ruck .1.,..,, ti, inn to Mr. 'irt'lslnrer 13 .t't'tp iviiircthy.fvb!,ij)j(y, loss, " ' '' " i tun u..t:,i , , Serious Oporatioa. Jos. Koubek who has been having considerable trouble with his eyes for some time past was operated upon yesterday at Omaha, a large portion of the right eyeball being removed. This operation was determined upon by Dr. GIfford as the sole means of saving the sight of the left eye which had become affected by sympathy with the other. The operation was a delicate one and also quite painful but he went through it without flinch ing and came through in very good shape. The attending surgeons are sanguine that he will get through with his trouble In good shape now and think that bis recovery is but a question of time. His son, A. H. Koubek and daughter, Miss Frances were with him at the hospital yes terday during the operation. City Council to Try and Purchase Old Gas Plant. The city council met last evening In regular session with all of the members present except Councilman Will. After the usual preliminary such as tbe reading of the minutes of the last meeting, considerable bus iness was transacted, the meeting be ing an harmonious one and every thing moving along smoothly. The committee whose duty it was to check the books of the city clerk and treasurer reported that the books had been checked up and found to be O, K. On motion the report wus placed on file, Tho claims committee reported the claim of W. II. Egenberger for $4 00 favorably and the same was allowed. The commltteo on streets, alleys and bridges reported that the work on Chicago avenue would cost when completed somewhere In the nelgh borhod of $1,500. This was consider: ably In excess of the original estimate but it means that the avenue will be made a permanent street which will be a credit to the city and which will afford a fine roadway from the country to the business center. The work has been done under the direc tion of Councilman Will and it is highly creditable so far as it is com pleted. Tho ordinance creating a sinking fund to take up outstanding indebt edness of the city was reported and discussed and a motion to suspend the rules and pass the ordinance to its second and third reading nnd final pussnge prevailed. This was done. The annual appropriation bill was reported to the council making an estimate of the amount of money needed to run the city for the coming fiscal year. Tho ordinance making the levy for tlly taxes for the ensuing yenr was al.o reported It being In conformity with the annual appropriation bill, was reported and a motion to pass the ordinance to a second and third reading and final passage prevailed and the ordinance was passed. There were a number of street repnlrs ordered done among them being the cleaning of tho tiling on the west side of Fourth street In the First ward, some grading for a side walk In front of the James Hlckson property In tho Second ward, the re pair of the sidewalk near tho old Fairfield property on Fifteenth street in the Second ward, the putting In of some tiling or repairs to the same at Eighth street between Rock and Oold streets and tho repnlr of a culvert on Lincoln avenue. A committee was also appointed to make an examination of the title of the Nebraska Lighting company to the property at tho corner of Sixth and Pearl streets with a view to pur chasing the snme for a city hall and city Jail. This matter has been un der consideration by the council for some time past and It probably will be purchased In the future If tho title be found to be all right. The coun cil feels that It will be a positive sav ing to the city to have a hall of Its own nnd a Jail nnd thnt the paying out of n largo sum of money every yenr in rentals nnd Jailer's fees can be avoided by the expenditure of a comparatively small sum now. This property It Is understood, enn be purchased for a small sum and with the expenditure of a comparatively small arount n building which will make offices for tho city officials Including tho polico Judge, chief of police, mayor, clerk nnd treasurer, as well ns a comodlous and well von tllaled council chamber nnd an ndo- quuto city Jail, will soon be worth much more than It will cost The finance committee reported the following bills which were allowed nnd warrants ordered drawn on the several funds for the different amounts.

Turnvereln, rent Ed Williams, Who Was Arrested During the Carnival. It has been learned that Ed. Wil liams, the man whom Chief Rainey arrested here during the street fair on the suspicion that he was a bur glar or thief, has confessed to Chief of Police Malone of Lincoln that he is a box car robber and that the two pairs of shoes which caused Chief Rainey to arrest him, were taken from a Burlington box ear which Williams had broken into. The shoes, It will be recalled, were mark ed with the brand of the Kip Shoe company of Deadwood, S. D., and were a good shoe. After the arrest of Williams by Chief Rainey1 here, a telegram to the shoe company at Deadwood brought a letter from them denying that they had lost any shoes but asking that Williams be held. Williams put up a tale of having bought the shoes from an unknown man In Lincoln. He was sentenced to ten days In Jail for vagrancy so as to hold him and while he was in Jail, the theft of six pairs of shoes from a shipment to the Kip company was discovered. Special Agent Morris of the Burlington came down and se cured Williams, taking him to Lin coln where he was sweated by the officers with the result that he has owned up to the robbery. The shrewdness of Chief Rainey in lo cating him and promptly arresting him, is to be commended and he has received much praise for his work. Williams will doubtless get a long term as he seems to be a genuine crook and not deserving of sympathy. Interesting Story. An Interesting fish story reaches the Journal from the vicinity of Ce dar Creek. Last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Will E. Melslnger from the neighbor hood of Springfield, Sarpy county, started over to the home of George P. Melslnger, Mrs. Meislnger's father, at Cedar Creek to spend the day. They crossed the Platte river in a row boat and then started to walk.the remainder of tho distance to the shore over a sandbar which had formed on this side of the river. Their' little boy was with them and when part way across the bar they came to a shalow pool which had been left when the river fell after reach ing high water. The little fellow noticed the pool and saw a fish in it some eight or ten Inches in length. lie called his father's attention to it nnd they caught it with the Intention of taking It with them. Just before they left they discovered a large fish In the pool and Mr. Melslnger made arrangements at once to get this one. He succeeded In getting the fish out on the sand where It was dispatched with a board or club in Mr. Meis- Inger's hands. They took It with them to George P. Melslnger's where It was weighted and found to tip the scales at twenty-two pounds which Is some fish. It was a fine yellow cat fish, one of the best to be had and they were much pleased with Its cap ture. It made a fine meal for the family and helped to make the day a most delightful one. Mr. Melslnger Is a son of Peter Melslnger nnd wife and Is quite well known in this vicin ity. In District Court.

Mr. Huffman reports that con ditlons on the Pacific slope are ex cellent and that times there are good. lie was over a good part of the North Pacific coast and found some very excellent land which can be had at low prices yet. The fruit crop in the northwest is a great one this year, apples being especially abund ant. In fact, so great is this crop that the growers are picking them from the trees to keep the trees from breaking down under their weight. Peaches are also very abundant this year and strawberries are H large crop. In fact, Mr. Huffman finds thnt Oregon nnd Wnshlngton are two mighty fine states to tie to. The tSoik's VMl.

Returns From Missouri. Mrs. Henry C. Miller returned this morning from a trip of several days at Jamesport, Mo., where she was looking after the interests of their farm. She found that a great crop was in prospect, the best that section has ever been blessed with. There Is a great crop of small grain and the outlook for corn Is better In that locality than any she saw here. She was greatly pleased over the pros pects and believes that that country is sure to be a winner. ' Mr.Miller's farm Is within a few miles cf James nort and close to the best section of '.he great state of Missouri and there is no reason this year to be a bit ashamed of the prospects. Their many friends will be glad to know that the outlook is so good. A Trip East. Mrs. Frank McElroy was a pas senger this morning for Omaha, where she will make a visit with her daughter, Miss Florence, who will de part this evening for an extended trip to the east. Miss McElroy will spend quite a time at the large cities and watering places of the east including Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, Atlantic City and other places. Her father will join her at Baltimore lat er and take a well earned vacation. Miss McElroy will likely leave Omaha on train No. 14 on the Burlington this evening and probably will not come through this city although there Is a possibility she may change her plans and come through on train No. 2. Train No. 6, due here at 7:52, was four hours and a half late this morn ing. No cause could be given by the local agent or the men about the de pot but It Is thought to have been caused by a washout or by a freight wreck which necessitated detouring the train. :WATCH THE FARM DEVELOPMENT IN WYOMING!
