SOUTH DAKOTA RALLIES.
Senator Pettigrew Opens the Campaign
of 1890.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 9, Senator
Pettigrew opened the campaign of 1900
tonight by announcement and an ad
dress to the largest audience ever gath
ered in the city. It was announced as
the beginning of the bimetallic fight
of four years hence and proved to be the
sensation of the fall. 1 be senator stated
that he would render McKinley every
aid possible for him to demonstrate that
the tariff was what ailed the country,
but wanted to put bimseli on record by
saying tnat he would resist every sec
tion of a tariff bill that provided for tariff
on any article controlled by a trust.
This created a sensation.

CONSPIRATORS' FLAG.
A Farmer s Vision on Seeing Politically
Pictured Old Glory.
Editor Post: A week ago I saw in
Lincoln some United States flags with
the pictures of McKinley and Hobart on
them. Yesterday I could see a good
many of these flags, not only on the
streets but in nearly every window of
the state Capitol.
If a boy of a collem would draw a
Eicture on a United States flag and ex
ibit it, people would get angry and de
mand that the culprit should be pun
ished for desecrating and insulting the
American flag. Here is a political party
which soils the United States flag with
two pictures and exhibits them not only
in the public streets, but even in the Cap
itol, jnst like an auction flag, as a kind
of an advertisement for its candidates.
Such a disgraceful insult was never be
fore performed to any flag.
Every thinking man must know that
the exhibition of these McKinley flags
has a purpose. It is to make the peo
ple acquained with its dictators, and
with this they follow the example of
former foreign usurpers. I remember
that a few years after his election as
president of the France, Louis Napoleou
put his picture on the French coins, and
after the people were used to this picture,
the political revolution followed, whereby
he usurped the crown as emperor. The
same was done, I believe, by the Roman
Caesar, but never liefore did any usurper
dare to put his picture on a flag, and I
hardly believe that even an European
monarch would dare to do it.
It is not a secret any longer that a
conspiracy exists in these states for
establishing a monarchy, and the des
perate measures which the money power
used in this campaign and the different
declarations that the money power
would not peaceably submit if the peo
ple should be victorious in this
election, must have removed the last
doubt about it.
The money power knows well enough
that it is not possible to suppress and
plunder the people very much longer, as
they have done until now, but they are
determined to maintain their power un
der all circumstances, even b.r brutal
force, and McKinley's first term as presi
dent will be used to make the necessary
preparations for this purpose.
The new McKinley conspirators' flag
is the first step. Others will, be the in
creasing of the regular army and police
and Pinkertons will follow after the in
auguration. Will this eople look
peaceably at it? Fekd Schweizer.

ONE DISTRICT JUDGESHIP.
Report
That the Coming Legislature
Will Abolish it Here.
Judge Tuttle is authority for the as
sertion that a bill is likely to be introduc
ed at the next session of the legislature
to cut down the number of district
judges in this county from three to one.
He did not intimate where such a meas
ure is likely to originate, except that it
will come from local business men and pop
ulists. When it was suggested to Judge
Tuttle that any such law passed at the
next session conld not curtail the num
ber of judges until the expiration of the
term for which the present judges were
elected, the judge gave it quite emphati
cally as his opinion as a lawyer that
either of the judgeships could be obolish
ed at once and that either of the judges
now Berving could legally have his pay
stopped at once. The measure to cur
tail the number of judges, if such
measure is proposed, will be pushed on
the ground that there is not enough
workvto keep three judges busy. ;
LET US BE THANKFUL.
Saved the State in Spite of Ingersoll atd
Satan.
Union, Nov. 8, 1896. To the Editor:
Let us thank providence we have saved
the state in spite of the devil and Bob,
Intrersoll. I have no doubt that had we
secured the election of Bryan, hell would
have been to pay, but when prosperity
came it would have come to stay. Under
the present rulings all our present monoy
circulation must be redeemed m gold
demanded. This exposes the McKinley
administration to great danger. This
puts the nation in the banking business
on a gold basis. Then if the basis is not
as large as the circulating currency,
bust is inevitable at some time.
1 should be pleased to nave some one
inform me who conducts the political
department of the state University at
Lincoln? - s
It seems that the students who go up
from Cass and Utoe counties and attend
trie institutions, come oacic on a pass
with Instructions to vote tor McKinley
and protection from their anarchist
fathers who vote for Bryan, Holcomb
and a state ticket in order to keep state
government out of the control of rob
bers and thieves. That institution, so
far as its agricultural instruction is con
cerned is a humbug and a farce from top
to bottom. If their religion Is of the
kind that sets father against son it is
but little or no better. Their ' political
theories of a gold standard and tariff
protection, are yet disputed, unsettled
questions which I hope the taxpayers of
the state will not submit to have taught
in the public schools. L. U. Todd.
A Sad Accident. i
Mrs. Patrick O'Donnell, wife of Road-
master O'Donnell of the B. & M was
killed this morning at 8 o'clock by the
accidental discharge of a 32-calibre re
volver in the bands of ber 16 year old
son, William.
When Patrick O'Donnell left his haDnv
home at 2435 Q street, shortly before 8
to attend to bis usual duties in the B. &
M. yards he little dreamed that in less
than half an hour be would return to
find bis wife lying Stone dead in a pool of
blood upon the floor. Such are the
facts, however, and thedetails as related
by eye witnesses to the terrible affair
are such as would move the stoutest
heart.
The family comprising husband, wife
and nine children had just finished
breakfast. Mr. O'Donnell had left for
the city and the children were being ore-
pared for school by the mother. William,
the eldest son recently came into pos
session of a revolver and was standing
in the kitchen door examining the weap
on which he supposed was unloaded.
He attracted his mother's attention to
its many fine points and in a careless
manner commenced to snap it. Twice
it made no response but the third time
it went off and the ball lodged in his
mother's head, entering between the
noes and eye on the left side and passing
!r ,. rnii nnding lodgment in
ma-nun somewhat tack of the right
mr. iae poor woman fell to the floor
wun wood spirting from the wounds in
large quantities. In just ten minutes
she was dead.
The children became panic stricken,
but finally the neighbors were aroused
by their screams and Dr. 3reen, a neigh
bor, was summoned. When he reached
the woman's side she nmt th m,A ni
alt human skill. She was nlekarl nn &nrl
carried into her bed room and Mr.
0 Donnell was immediately summoned
from the B.AM. When the poor man
arrived his feelings can better be im
agined than described. After ascertain
ing the cause he became frantic almost
fremied and it was with great difficulty
that the neighbors presentcould restrain
him. The screams which continued to
issue from the houss attracted n. 1 arm
crowd, bnt none were allowed to enter.
Mrs. O'Donnell was about thirty-seven
years of age and was the mother of nine
children. She was very devoted and
gave up her whole time to their care.
The loss which befalls tbem, to say
nothing of the husband's grief, cannot
be defined in words.
William, the son who did thn ahnnrW
is nearly beside himself and as the hour
of going to press is still in a highly
wrought up nervous oondition. .
j Mr. and Mrs. O'Donnell were old resi
dents of Lincoln and the former baa
been in the employ of the B. & M. for a
great many yerrs.
A peculiar coincidence of the death is
the fact that about six years ago Mrs.
O'Donnell's mother was killed at tha
corner of Twenty-flrst and Q street by
Deing over b.v a team. Her father and
mother are also said, to have met death
by accident.
no arrangements have m vat hoan
made for the funeral.

Here is the story in a nutshell: Either we can save you mon
ey or we can't Either we misrepresent things or we don't.
Either we are deserving of your trade or we are not, and how
are you going to know unless you find out? One way is w
send for our catalogue B, which will cost you a cent for a pc
tsl card, and another way is to ask somebody who knows cs,
which won't cost you anything at all. For eleven yean we
have been doing business right here in Omaha on the time
principles, by the same methods and in the same place and
selling goods to the same people year after year. There isn't
a township in Nebraska where you can't find a dozen customers
of ours. There isn't a state west of the Missouri river where
we don't ship goods. During all the years we have been in
business, and of all the thousands we have done business with
we have yet to hear of one single solitary instance where a
customer , was dissatisfied with our dealings in any way or
shape. That alone gives us a claim on your consideration.
But we aren't doing business on our reputation alone. People
want values before they want history, and values are what
bind the people to this store. Why not? We give as good
an Ulster for $y 75 as you can buy at home for $y cash. Other
