ANDREWS M
BE SELEGTED
AS CHAIRMAN
Hastings Man Suggested as Suc
cessor for Jesse
McXish.
From Saturday's Dan v.
W. E. Andrews of Hastings is now
being talked of for chairman of the
republican state committee to succeed
Jesse C. McXish. who resigned at
Omaha a week ago following a dis
agreement with A. L. Sutton, the
candidate for governor. The sugges
tion of Andrews name is said to have
Wen received with approval by some
of the nominees, who are anxious to
L'et a chairman generally acceptable
t'- the party.
Andrews has always been a stand
natter and held ofbee as auditor of the
United States treasury department un
der the McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft
administrations. After returning to
Nebraska last year, he made the race
lor congress in the Fifth district in
the republican primaries last April,
but was defeated by S. R. Barton.
It used to be the custom of Mr. An
il rews. while connected with the fed
eral administration to visit Nebraska
dining each campaign and give out
interviews showing the beneficent re
sults of high titr iff and other star.d-
at policies that were in vogue dur
ing the republican regime. On one
such occasion he lauded the "Payne"
tariff bill (refusing to call it the Pay-rc-Aldrich
bill, as it was generally
known) and declared it to be the best
measure of its kind ever enacted. This
was shortly after President Taft had
made a similar declaration in his fam
ous Winona speech.
At one time the sobriquet of Te
ruria Bill" was bestowed on Mr. An
drews, on account of his picture being
widely published with a patent med
icine advertisement. The memory of
this has largely been effaced by his
recently coming out for state prohi
bition. Lincoln Star.

PLANNING TO ALLOW THE
NATIONAL GUARD TO VOTE
Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 11. Attorney
General Reed has. written to Senators
Hitthcock and Norris and ail the mem
bers of congress from this state, ask
ing their assistance in securing fed
eral legislation which will make it pos
sible for soldiers of the two Nebraska
regiments, the signal corps and the
fold hospital, now in service on the
Texas border, to vote in the coming
election.
The present state law does not per
mit voting by mail from outside of
Nebraska, and there is no session of
the legislative between now and elec
tion, it will be necessary for con
gress to act if the men are permitted
to vote. The same situation exists in
other states. Attorney General Reed
believes congress has power to make
a law allowing soldiers to vote, al
though it does not have jurisdiction
over suffrage qualifications in the var
ious states.
There is not believed to be much
prospect of congressional legislation
on this subject, as a proposition deal
ing with it was recently turned down
in the form of an amendment to one
cjf the appropriation bills.

FORMER CASS
COUNTY LADY
DIES IN KANSAS
From Saturday's TVarty.
From the Western Spirit, published
at Paola, Kas., the following account
of the death of Mrs. W. C. Robertson,
a former resident of Cass county, is
taken. The lady for a number of years
resided with her parents in the cen
tral portion of the county and will be
remembered by a large number of the
older residents of this locality:
Mrs. Martha Robertson, wife of W.
C. Robertson, died Sunday evening,
July .0th, at G:0o o'clock, at the home,
COS East Chippewa street. Her death
was the result of a seere cold, con
tracted last November that developed
into pneumonia. Complications set in
and her strength gradually ebbed
away into a peaceful sleep Sunday
evening.
Martha Reed was born in Jackson
county, O., February 12, IS". so at
the time of her death., was ."3'.) years
old. When quite small she went with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew
Reed, to Cass county, Nob., and was
married at Dewitt in 1S4 to Mr. Rob
ertson. The family continued to live
in that state until lt01 when they
went to Alva Okla.. but the following
year they tame to Paola. where their
home has been since.
The deceased was a kindly, patient,
home-loving woman, whose every
thought was for the- comfort of her
husband and the advancement of their
children. Five daughters were born
to them. One died in infancy, but the
other four. Isabelle, Edna. Harriet
and Lucy, are at home with the father.
The mother lived to see all of them
equipped with good educations, the
three eldest successful teachers in this
county and the youngest preparing to
teach this fall. Mrs. Robertson was a
member of the Methodist church from
her girlhood and lived a consistent,
useful Christian life.
The funeral services were conducted
from the home last Tuesday afternoon
by Rev. O. B. Thurston, and interment
was in Elmwood cemetery. Sincere
sympathy of many Miami county
friends is extended the bereaved hus
band, who is ill and unable to leave
his bed, and the daughters.
SHOULD PAY THEIR TRIBUTE
TO THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
From Saturday's Dally.
It has been remarked upon how few
persons pay the proper respect to the
playing of the national anthem, "The
Star Spangled Banner" when it is
played at the band concerts at the
park each week and if the audience
who do not remain seated during the
anthem they make a break to get out
of the park. This is hardly the proper
thing to do as the idea of playing the
national anthem is to give everyone
an opportunity of paying a slight tri
bute to their country. To almost
every place where it is played the
audience remain standing until the
last strains with bared head. The
band is showing a feeling of patriot
ism in playing it at the concerts tint
those who attend should also ioin in
this tribute to Old Glory, that has
stood as the emblem of our country
through all these years of strife and
under whose folds we eniov life and
liberty. It is probably merely a case
of thoughtlessness on the part of most
persons but in no other country would
the playing of the national anthem be
allowed to pass unnoticed.

From Saturday's Dally.
Last evening Mrs. Morgan Way
bright and Mrs. Beverage were very
pleasantly surprised when their two
sisters, residing on the Pacific coast,
arrived in the city to visit and to at
tend the golden wedding anniversary
of Mr. and Mrs. Waybright, which
will be held next Wednesday at Clover
Lodge, the home of Judge and Mrs.
A.' J. Beeson, west of the city. The
meeting of the sisters was one that
was filled with much pleasure to all
of the family, as it has been over
forty years since Mrs. Joseph Jeffe
ries of Olympia, Wash., and Mrs. Bev
erage have been able to visit together,
and twelve ' years since Mrs. T. B.
Brown, of Los Angeles, the second
sister, has been back in the old Cass
county home. The ladies all formerly
resided at the Brantner homestead,
out near Eight Mile Grove, ami here
many happy ytars were spent, but in
the past forty years they have not
been able to be with each other and
the occasion given them to meet their
sister, Mrs. Beverage, was much en
joyed, as the other three sisters ha.'e
been able to be together several timer,
all being residents along the Pacific
coast. The ladies will not only at
tend the golden wedding, but will re
main over for the Home Coming fes
tivities, and hope to have the privilege
of meeting a number of the old friends
and neighbors who will be in Platts
mouth during this time.

SETS AT REST RUMORS
ABOUT SEPARATE PEACE
From Saturday's Dan v.
Petrograd, Aug. 11. The rumors
which were circulated after Premier
Sturmer's appointment as foreign
minister, that Russia might entertain
proposals for separate peace, have
elicited a definite denial of such a
possibility from the new foreign min
ister. In denying the rumors to a
correspondent of the Russky Slovoe,
Premier Strumer said:
"I have learned that my appoint
ment is commented upon in some cir
cles as forecasting a separate peace.
I desire to strengthen the public be
lief that the change in the post of
foreign minister must not be consid
ered in any sense an indication of the
variation of Russia from the line of
conduct of the last two years toward
her allies. The agreement with them
will not be changed."

DOG FROM WEEPING WATER
SUFFERING FROM RABIES
From Saturday's Dally.
It would seem that our neighbor
ing town of Weeping Water has been
visited by a mad dog, and one victim,
a Mr. Erwin, is reported from that
locality. In speaking of the affair
the Republican has the following:
'The dog that bit Mr. Erwin here
Tuesday night of last week was de
clared to have rabies by the special
ists in Omaha who examined the head.
Mr. Erwin imediatcly took measures
to prevent his geting the malady by
putting himself under the care of a
physician, who is a relative of his at
Auburn. He will receive treatment"
similar to those given at the Pasteur
institute, as these can now be given
by any physician."

AD CHECK
ARTIST GETS
BUSY IN CITY
E. McDanicl and Edward Donat
Victims of the Paper Pusher,
Who nets $31 Through
His Operations.
Another of the smooth check passers
h-.-.s visited the city and as a result of
bis visitation has made away with 11
in goc.t! hard cash secured from two
"bum" checks passed on J. E. Mc
Daniel and Edward Domat. The man
who signed the checks gave the name
of Robert Coyan. and the checks were
signed with the name of William A.
Fight, one of the prominent farmers
of near Mynard. The stranger began
operation here on Friday night when
he visited the saloon of Mr. McDaniel
and after purchasing several drinks
for himself and companions tender'. d
a check for ?21 which was signed bv
the name of W. A. Fight. It was not
thought that there was anything the
matter with the checks as the man had
been working for Mr. Fight for some
time and of the course the check was
honored. Mr. McDaniel did not take
the check to the bank until 11 o'clock
Saturday and it was not until 2 o'clock
that afternoon that he was notified
that the paper was worthless as Mr.
Fight's name was forged on the check
and he at once notified Chief Barclay
of the matter and the case was turned
over to the county authorities to look
into. The man Coyan having gotten
away with the first check in such good
shape decided to try his luck again
and visited the saloon of Edward
Donat Saturday afternoon aboi.
o'clock when he passed another of the
worthless checks for the sum of $10
which was also signed with the name
of Mr. Fight.
After securing the money from Mr.
Donat, the man Coyan made his get
away and having an hour's start be
fore the worthless check held by Mc
Daniel was reported he was able to
make a disappearance. It was reportec
that Coyan had been at the Union
picnic on Saturday afternoon and ac
cordingly Sheriff Quinton journeyed
down to that locality in his auto but
was unable to find any trace of the
man, although several claimed to have
seen him at the picnic grounds.
Coyan 'has been working for Mr
Fight for the past few weeks and had
evidently ascertained the possibilities
of working the bad check deal by us
ing the forged signature of his em
ployer on a check. This is another of
the numerous cases of bad checks that
have been worked on the business men
of the city and Mr. Cohen had chosen
a good time with the rush of pay day
business on to shove the bad checks.
So far no trace has been found of the
man.
Cure for Cholera Morbus.
"When our little boy, now seven
years old, was a baby he was cured of
