SUHSCHimoN i'ltlOB : Una Your , In lulvnncu Jl.K ( ) THURSDAY , DEC. 0 , 1000. Senator Allen uaya that Bryan will bo nominated for president again in 1004. Say , would not that bo a niouio for the republican can didate ? The Beacon oamo out last week against the democratic party , and in iavor of the pooplo'n independent party again , The Beacon ac knowledges that the party has frit tered away its chanced in the last two presidential campaigns , but it dooe not acknowledge that the mid- readers were right , There are so many candidates for senatorial honors , that it is pretty hard to guess whom the winning candidates will bo. There is ono prediction that is more than a guess , and that is if Senator Gurrio is otio of the candidates elected , that it will add strength to the republican party for the campaign two years houoo. The selection of clean and capable uiun by any party as stand , ard bearers , creates confidence in the organization with the public. The game of foot ball played at Lincoln last Thurnday between the college team of Minnesota and the boys of the State University at Lincoln , resulted in o victory for Minnesota , with a score of 12 to 20. Neither team had lost a game this season. Nebraska made the largest number of scoies against Minnesota that had been made this season , It was beef against science. The Minnesota boys averaged over 200 pounds , while our boys only aver aged 105 pounds. The Omaha World.Herald and a Lincoln evening paper have raised cry over the fact that Governo Dietrich cortitlcd in bin oxponflo report that ho had given 125 to Homo ono for a barbecue , or for tickets to scats to a dinner , and those papers would have it appear that Mr. Dietrich has committed ai offouso which makes him ineligible to the office to which ho has boon elected. This is only an attempt to make it appear that there is ground for a contest. Wo do not believe that the law of 1800 has been violated lated in this instance. The barbe- ouo or dinner was never given , and had it beou given the effect would have been the same because Mr. Dietrich was not giving an "enter tainmont of a mooting of electors , " as named in the law , but simply purchased tickets to a dinner given by someone else. No cno will deny that ho had a right to buy a ticket to a theater , but ho had no right to buy a theater and give it to the electors. Kearney Democrat. Congress convened Monday noon The receiving and reading of the president's message was the iiret duty to command the attention of both houscp , after admitting new members. The president's message is another of his able and compre hensive papers that delights the public to rend. In reciting the progress made in the industrial avocations the past year , splendid conditions arc presented. Our ex ports have largely exceeded our imports , and secured a handbome- balance in favor of our national treasury. This government's deal ings with our new possessions , and China , is treated exhaustively , and every act plainly justified , While a showing of plain facts cannot bo disputed , wo notice the opposition 'press , in commenting upon hU message , speaks slightingly of it , yet the subjects presented cannot bo wholly ignored. lu speaking of the message editorially , the World- Ilorald says : "President McKinley * in the communication that ho sent to congress yesterday , dealt with subjects of tuoio importance than moat of his { [ predoooaBors had to deal with , " In the ollioial onnvaHH of the state vote , we find liio following majori ties for the republican candidate * : President AfcICinloy , 7,822 ; U , II , Diotrioh , for governor , HOI ; E. P. Savage , for lieutenant governor , 2,802 ; Gee W. Marsh , for secretary of state , 3,701 ; Charles Weston , for auditor , 4,008 ; William Stnofer , for treasurer , 4,030 ; W. K. Fowler , for attorney general , 4,817 ; Frank N. ProtH , for superintendent of pub. Ho instruction , 4,817 ; Geo. D Follmor , for land commissioner1 4,142. Without the gain of Custor county , Diotrioh would have boon defeated , but the other candidates would have pulled through , had Custor given her old time pop ma jority. Among the applicants for state appointment under the incoming administration , is our own towns man , Ed. Itoysc , who desires the position of foorotary of the State Banking Board , .Probably there has not boon an application iilcd for a position in the state , whore the applicant is more woithy or better qualified to fill the position for which ho applies than is Mr. Royso. llis long experience as assistant cashier in the Central Nebraska National Bank , arid his subsequent oxperieuoo as dnpuly commissioner of public lauds and buildings , to gether with his experience as an abstractor , which requires careful and accurate work , especially fits him for the position or secretary of the state banking board , llin claim , from a political standpoint , can bo second to none. His able management o ( republican interests n Custer county the past two ycare as chairman of the county central committee , speaks for itself. There s no county in the state , regardless of population , that has made the republican gains that Custer county lias. In addition to his qualifica tions and political claim , ho is a man of mature judgement , clean roootd , HtricUy moral , honest , uud in every respect a good citizen , who anjoys the confidence and esteem of all who have his acquaintance.

The National campaign ae well as the state's bids fair to bo both exciting and interest ing. No body who has any inter- oat in the result of the campaign should bo without , a county and state paper.

California Travel lucrrasing. The increasing popularity of tourist sleeping errs for transconti nental travel is a subject of much comment among railroad men. It is aaid that 85 per cent of the pas sengers to and from California travel in tourist jlooping-oars. Tlnse oars are comfortable and not neatly so expensive au palace sleeping-cars The Burlington railroad is doing a great deal to encourage touriat-oar travel , Laying increased its Califor nia tourist-oar scrvico this soaeon from onco-a-wook to three times a week.

J.JTKANCiS , General I'&BBODgor Agent , OmahaNob , noy8 Ott STATE CAPITAL GOSSIP , Lincoln , Neb. , Deo. 3 , ( Special Correspondence ) The last week has boon n vrry lively ono at the capital for the ronson tlmt the ap plicants for the plaoos under the in coming administration have boon on hand to look after their interests. The announcement that the heads of slatu institutions will select their own subordinates has relieved the proHHuro Homywhat. It is conceded by all republicans that Chairman Lindiay of the state committee deserves somntlnug hand some , and that Inn appointment an private secretary to the governor is only temporary. Ho was looked upon OB the right man to help the now governor past the stormy period oi the first six mouths. As a party move , the selection is a wise one. It is poesihlo for a private hoorctary to make or mar the political future of a governor , a fact which Governor Poyntor now realizes to its fullest ( .y. tent. The act ot a fusion supreme court in killing the slate board of trans portation as soon as it was certain that fusion job-holders could no longer derive their living from it , was a thoroughly selfish performance anco which will , however , strike a responsive cord all over thu state a very unusual situation. Tl'ore is a very strong hint that ether state boards ao : in danger of being lopped oil by the coming legislature. The barber's board is a laughing stock everywhere. The slate oil inspection has long boon known to bo a fraud , perpetuated to make easy berths for political btrikors. The fact that no oil is really inspected , that certificates of fineness have been pasted on vinegar barrels , and that the whole system is used to prevent competition in the oil buHiucGS in Nebraska , justi fies a message from the governor abolishing the "bureau. " It is quite possible such a message will bo sent in , It is now apparent. that the in coming state officials have concluded to make a "clean swoop" when it coinen to making state appoint ments. They think that the state has so fur been scandalized by the people who hnvo hold jobs during the past four years , that it will be no mistake to jump them all out of office and try a full now set , both upper and lower. In the meantime there is a dis position to sec to it that the useless employes in the various depart ments are not appointed , and this disposition also reaches toward the legislature , as is learned from the members who have visited this city in the past wook. The contest for speakership ol the house is beginning to warm up. The general belief is that it will be settled entirely outtido the sanatoria fight , and that the legislature will l-o organized along thoroughly busi ness lines , rather than as an adjunct to the senatorial struggle. 'I lib secretary of state realizing the need of a "oloan swoop" has bought line no * carpets for the legislative halls. Llo wanted the new men to have now things to walk on , and besides ho wanted to exotoirto bis last privilege of buying things with the poplo's money. The stAte o Miimitteo has con cluded to kuop open all winter , seas as to have things ready for the com ing oamoaign. This move is noted with satislaction fron all quarters , as it is certain to bo productive of good robiilte. The work that was done last winter and spring by the old committee aided in the forma tion of the splendid organization which was ctfouled in the campaign just closed. The claim of certain counties that they saved the election of Gover nor Dietrich ia becoming the sub ject of much amusmcnt. There are others entitled tj credit. Without LautatjlercouiityDiutnoh would have beou lost. Gage , with ita fourteen hundred majority , saved the gov ernorship. If the splendid maj orities of Burt or Pawnee had boou reversed the man from Adam would have boon lost , Custo county furnishes enough gain to nave him , while Holt andThurstou or a dczou other combination gain did thu buaiussa , The claim of ox elusive credit by ono county deserves to bo classed with the celebrated st-jry of "tho nun that killed the bear. " Legislative members and visitors who oomo to Lincoln to see the winter performance , will have more than usual difficulty in securing jtiartors , Lincoln is pretty well Hied tip with the natural increase n population in the last two years , ind desirable rooms that heretofore lave boon at the disposal of the eglalativo contingent , are nearly all taken. T'IC ' wiao ones who expect to spend the winter here are already ooking up locations. ADAM GRANGER , A Itcmcdy fur Cornstalk lisca o. Golliob Hisor , supervisor elect of Mason City , was a city visitor Tues lay. Ho ban lost fivti head of cattle with the coniHtalk disease , but ho thiiiKs ho has a sure preventive of it now. Ho feeds his cattle millet lay every morning before turning them into the stalks , and has lost no cattle since. Ho thinks the loath of the cattle is caused by the ninaUiral cornstalks which grow up late and never tasseled. This same theory is maintained by Elmer Ilogaboom , who lives west of town , Llo informed us Saturday that bo iad gene through his stalk Hold and cut all such stalks out and burned thorn. Mr. Iliser says his cattle did not die from lack of water or corn , as they were provided with plenty of both. Ho thinks in ease a person has not the millet to feed bin cattle , that straw might be a sufficient preventive. It y no. Weather moderate , with a drizzling rain this ( .Wednesday ) uiorniug. Piukett , Polkoy and Rusk are going to shell corn for L. II. McCiill tomorrow. Attor n two weeks' vacation , Mltu Huckloy will resume her school at Custer Monday. A. J. Reeves has bought nn organ.

Hotidley has lost live yearlings , and Loyal Ilunk has lost three horse ? , others ono or more. Different theories are given as the causa corn smut , chinch bugs , germs , dry murrain , salt petre In thu corn ntalks , but all these have failed to fchow cause ot deaths , uccotding to thu several state veterinarians who have carefully tested the above causes , nnd hnvo failed to llnd a remedy , as they became delirious and sick , dying in from three to six hours after being attacked , and are soon past help.
