The preliminary examination of Roy
Napier on the charge of breaking into
Shields & Newman's store at Nicker-
son and stealing $400 worth of goods ,
was held before Justice Wintersteen at

An unsuccessful attempt was made
to rob the bank of Douglas. The
cracksmen puttied the vault door and
then made two discharges , breaking

successful or were disturbed in their
work.
Recently while Mr. Kittridge of
Greeley county was at church , light
ning struck his barn which was burned
with all his small grain , his horses ,
harness and about 20 head of hogs.
His wife was at the well when the bolt
struck and was knocked down by the
shock. When she recovered the barn
was so enveloped in flames that noth
ing was saved.
The supreme court made an order per
mitting the attorneys for J. C. Dahl-
man , chairman of the democratic state
central committee , to file their applica

the secretary of state to leave off the

ticket from the official ballot The
court also permitted the filing of the
papers in the case of the Fourth and

In many of our exchanges , says the
Sterling Sun , we note the return to
Nebraska , from week to week , of those
who emigrated a year ago to Missouri
and Arkansas. They are , probably ,
both good states , but not better than
Nebraska. Besides the climate , soil
and society are so different from that
in this state that but few families |
would be satisfied to live there after
having lived in Nebraska for a consid
erable length of time.
The farm home of Peter Parker , two
miles west of Hooper , was burglar
ized Sunday night after the family re
tired. The thief touched nothing on
the first floor , but went to Nicholas
Parker's room up stairs and rifled his
clothing , and got a watch and S1G. He
then went to the barn loft , where Jake
Dennis lodges , and took what money
he had. It is thought the job was
committed by a hired man who has
since been conspicuous by his absence.
An Omaha paper says that the freight
car famine is assuming alarming pro ;
portions in the west. The Missouri
Pacific is short over 000 cars north oi
Kansas City and the Union Pacific ,
Burlington , Omaha , Elkhorn and Rock
Island are far behind in the number oi
cars required in Nebraska , while the
famine in Iowa and Kansas is even
worse. The roads have need of cars
for extra freight , for all the wheat in'
the country is being rushed to market
during the present high price.
A strip of country approximating 20
miles in length and several miles in
width , skirting the river valley north
and east of North Loup , was swept by
a fierce prairie fire and a great deal of
damage was done. Owing to the heavy
winds and the extremely dry condition
of the rank vegetation , ordinary fire
guards proved of but little avail. Geo.
Baker , living four miles east of North
Loup , lost all his hay and grain in
stack , and the bridge on the road be
tween there and Greeley was burned.
A bold robbery occurred at Hastings ,
the robber getting a Way with § 150 and
three watches. At 7 p. m. Nellis ,
bookkeeper at Falk's clothing store ,
entered the place to do some work on
the books. When near the rear end of
the store he was accosted by a iie rro ,
who demanded to be let out Mr. Nel
lis started to comply with the request
and was knocked senseless by a blow
on the head with a billy , or club , re
ceiving a bad wound. The negro went
through the safe , taking all the money
and watches.
While J. C. Hutchinson , who lives
twelve miles southeast of Kearnej' .was
returning home with his hired man ,
they were" overtaken by Clarence Ting-
ley , with whom there had been hard
feelings for some time. A fight took
place and the hired man was knocked
down. Tingley then made for Hutchinson -
• inson , who , being weak from long sick
ness , picked up the gun and began to
step backward , at the same time tell
ing him to keep away or he would
shoot. Tineley made a grab for the
gun , when Hutchinson shot him in the
abdomen. The full charge going clear
through him. He died in about an
houx- . Hutchinson gave himself up to
the sheriff.
Regarding the Nebraska exhibits
that were displayed by the B. & M. at
a number of county fairs in Illinois and
Indiana this fall , the Corn Belt of Chicago
cage has this to say in its October is
sue : "Nebraska has been in much and
gratifying evidence throughout the
central states this season. Her mag
nificent exhibits of agricultural pro
ducts have adorned many of the coun-
tj' fairs of Illinois and Indiana. They
were the admiration of good farmers
who were fo. the first time in their
lives , perhaps , forced to realize that ,
though proud of their own state , they
have to admit that it has a young but
eminently successful rival in Nebraska-
There is hardly , if anj'tlnng , grown in
these states that cannot be as success
fully raised in'Nebraska , and • more be
sides. "
The meeting of the Nebraska beet
sugar association , which will be held
at Grand Island , on Nov. 17 and IS , ac-
according to present indications , prom
ises to be one of the most important
and interesting meetings held by the
association since its organization and
ought to have delegates fronri every
community in the state interested in
the rapid development of this impor
tant industry. The experimental pe
riod is past and it has been clearly
demonstrated that the soil and climate
of Nebraska are as suitable for the pro
duction of sugar beets as any territory

NO CHINESE ' METHODS
FOR ENGLAND.
SUN-YAT-SEN'S RELEASE.
Premier Salisbury Forecil the Mongolian
.Li-guMon in Loudon to Set at Liberty
an Alleged Conspirator Who
Had Been Virtually Kid
naped by the Chinese
Ambassy.
Loxdox , Oct. 2G. A complete cordon
of detectives was formed around the
Chinese legation yesterday , the officers
being ordered to seize Sun Yat Sen and
release him if he should be brought
out.
out.The
The Marquis of Salisbury , after read
ing a number of affidavits , sent a
strongly worded letter to the Chinese
envoy pointing out that the methods
adopted by the legation were distinctly
not needed , as the courts were open to
the Chinese officials to obtain any
criminal for legal purposes. The prime
minister also said that he could not
fail to point out that the act savored of
unfriendliness as seeming to violate
the right of asylum , to which England
was committed by every tradition and
belief and asked the envoy to iraraedi-
ateljr release the imprisoned Chinaman
and so avoid further unpleasantness.
Later in the day Sir Halliday Ma
cartney , the counselor of the Chinese
legation , called at the foreign office
and said that Sun Yat Sen would be re
leased without prejudice to the rights
of the legation which were involved.
I An inspector of police and Sun Y'at
Sen's friend , Dr. Cantile , who first
raised the question of the Chinaman ' s
imprisonment , went to the Chinese le
gation at 4:30 o 'clock with a letter from
the foreign office and not long after
ward they emerged from a side door
with Sun Yat Sen , entered a cab and
drove to the foreign office , where Sun
Yat Sen made a formal statement of
his case.
Sir Halliday Macartnej- receiving1
the Marquis of Salisbury ' s note , Avent
to the bedside of the Chinese minister ,
who is in ill health , and explained to
him that the Marquis of Salisbury in
sisted upon the release of Sun Y'at Sen.
The Chinese .minister thereupon cabled
to Pekin for instructions and , on the
§
receipt of an answer , Sun Yat Sen was
released.
The Times , in an editorial , does not
doubt that the foreign office will find
means of making the rulers of China
understand they have gone too far in
the kidnapoing of Sun Wen and that
they must not again offend similarly.

Norton of Illinois , the favorite eandi

lists for the Presidential nomination a'
the St. Louis convention , announcinj
his support of Mr. Bryan and ad
vising Populists everywhere to us

He advises Populists to forgive
for the time any unjust treatmen *
from the Democrats and postpone the
settlement of minor differences until
after the election. ' 'If " "
• , he says , "suc
cess is assured , the Populist party can
not be denied the glory of the victory ,
whether Bryan is a Populist or not.
One thing absolutely certain is that
every enemy reformers have encount
ered during the last twenty years Ave
find to-day among Mr. Bryan ' s bitter
est and most relentless opponents. II
they are his enemies he must be oui
friend. His success is their defeat ;
their defeat is our victory.

realized before how highly Republicans
have honored and respected the Popu

however , for the loss of Eepubliean

ance Avith the suggestions of Mr. Bryan
and Chairman Jones of the Democratic

ADVICE TO FARMERS. " H
By II. H. Carr & Co. , the Tarmcr'a Com jm . JJM
inlMitlon House. \J
"We are In the midst of an exciting- l&i M
cities-
political campaign ; the ereat
are stirred by monster demonstrations. JW I
The great orators hold forth every &P M
night In halls , wlgAvams. and tents. Political - > |
litical leaders .are busy figuring * out the f 1 |
result in advance of the election. Phou- % ? wM
Bands of men in the employ of the na- f ll H
tional committees are ascertaining as f V M
near as possible how each city ward , j H
how each branch of organized labor , , i H
hoAV each city will vote. One thing no- v H
man , no set of men. no campaign com- w | H
mittee , no political party can tell In v \Wm \
advance , that is , how the farmers or glrU
the country will vote. The one great # i' H
question to-day Is : How do the farm- y H
ers feel about it ? We mention this , l m
only to Illustrate a point In practical. < | H
business matters. . H
Agricultural Avorkers are learning- v j H
their power in politics. They can make j Her
or unmake state legislatures. They do | H
it by Imitating the methods ot labor I H
In cities , by Avorking together. They l H
do not need local unions. They can . Lt \ m
work In our grand intellectual union m
for their common good. They have-- 4 1
done it in demanding legislation. Thejr < l M
are doing It now in a Avay that makes. ; 1 H
leaders tremble. They Avill act more- > 1 H
intelligently and united in the future. H
They find other things than politics to- ' H M
call for their decision. They produce j m
Avhat the Avorld needs. They are studying - & } M
ing new methods of giving the fruit oC * li ( H
their labors to the Avorld. Recently an. { ? U M
army of 100,000 men marched through , ' 4 | H |
Chicago's streets celebrating the twen- /L > fi Q
ty-flfth anniversary of the great fire- < fl H
The farmers have for years fed a much , / ' * H
greater army : not only fed , but made / < f |
rich , presented with grain elevators , S-f | B
private banks , fine houses , costly lux- li-i } M
uries the old-time , ever-present army I'1 B
of middlemen. But there is a revolt % 1 1
against dividing profits Avith this army 1 1
between the farm and the Avorld's big- ; Ji H
markets. 'd l
Tills Independent action began Avith ' |
this pioneer farmer's commission house. i1 M
It is assuming proportions Avhich make - \J H
the easy mney-makers ( professional. ' , M
shippers ) at the stations over a dozen. [ H
states tributary to Chicago tremble. \ M
The question : "What are the farmers- % i |
going to do ? " bothers not politicians j |
alone , but all those who have been. f |
getting something for nothing. Farmers - \ M
ers are going to ship their own grain. . , H
not a few or a hundred , but an army ' M
of thousands. They know how. they B
have tried it , it pays. That is ono • M
question answered by farmers. M
