Omahas Strong Man Omaha comes to the front with a man who claims to be the most perfectly de veloped man physically in the world and shallenges Sandow to a competitive ex amination on exhibition Allowing the now champion strong man of the world to place his hands around his neck he defies him to choke him Going still further in his challenge he is willing to stand up and let the redoubtable Fitzsimmons deal his deadliest blow upon him and claims that such a blow cannot knock him out N The man who thus rushes into the arena Is well known in Omaha having lived there all his life His name is Alois P Swoboda and he is a teacher of physical lulture Three and a half years ago his dimen sions were Inches Chest normal 34 Expansion 2T Neck 13 Biceps 11 Forearm 10 Thigh 19 Waist 31 His

Polling Booth An exciting encounter between prom inent citizens occurred at the Second ward polling place in Beatrice election night The room was packed with watchers and 5n a controveisy over a ballot Frank Nor cross struck Judge J E Bush who had a few moments before been engaged in a controversy with Xorcross father Charlie Bush a son of the judge who was on the board when his father was struck at tempted to take a hand in the affair which resulted in a general scrap As soon as quiet had been restored young Bush who had stepped outside with the crowd took up the quarrel by striking young Norcross in the faee Bystanders again interfered and further trouble was averted Previous trouble between the two families was largely responsible for the affair Prospects for Wheat The most encouraging reports come from all sections of the state regarding the winter acreage and the condition of the growing crop The amount sown in some localities is 25 per eent greater than last year and will average 15 per cent greater for the state at large The ground is in excellent condition During the month the rainfall has been all that could be de sired The rains were of the steady kind that soak into the ground The precipita tion for three weeks amounted to between four and five inches Ideal conditions pre vail everywhere and in western Nebraska the seeding is not yet finished Consider able acreage will yet be sown Farmers are jubilant over the condition of the growing grain and the prospects for next years crop Blow Open a Safe The Clay County Bank of Edgar was broken into the other night and the safe blown open but before the robbers had time to secure the money James McNally editor of the Post who happened to hear the explosion came upon the scene and the robbers fled He aroused Stout and Voorhees the proprietors and returned with theui to the bank but no trace of the robbers could be seen There was about 2000 outside of the cash reserve drawer most of whieh was still in the safe Rob an A O U W Treasurer The safe in H E Grices drug store at Red Cloud was opened last Saturday night and about 50 taken The robbers drilled into the safe door with a common brace and steel bit and blew it off with a charge of powder Mr Grice is financier of the Ancient Order of United Workmen lodge and as it was the last of the month it is thought the robbers counted on getting a large sum of money that is paid in on as sessments athat time Historical Building Takes Fire The building that was known in the early history of Milford as the Frisbee House caught fire recently from explosive stove polish The fire was soon gotten under control and the damage was little more than nominal The Frisbee House was built in 18G7 and was originally six teen feet square with a small lean to for a kitchen A host of Nebraska notables have eaten and slept in the building in the early days Ask to Have a Date Fixed The attorneys for ex State Treasurer Bartley have filed a motion in the

morning with a load of oats When only a mile from home he dropped from the waaon dead The cause was heart disease Niobraras Packet Steamers The two packet steamers that have pljed between Niobrara and up river points are now full of business and report a good season Next year will probably see three boats at that point Died on His Bridal Tour Alonzo Barnes a wealthy real estate 6rokerof Lincoln

there was a great crowd out A great feature of the day was the floral parade by the ladies Aside from this was the general demonstrations which with the liberty accompanying a carnival day gave the 10000 visitors plenty of amusement and occupation Two Packages in His Pocket William Harris of Havelock had two packages in his pockets One was com mon soda which he was in the habit of taking for heartburn and the other was sugar of lead which he was using for poison ivy By mistake he took the sugar of lead internally for heartburn but prompt action by the doctor saved his life Highwaymen Infest Lincoln Lincoln has been infested with high waymen for a couple of weeks past and there have been hold ups most every night In one case a merchant in East Lincoln was compelled to hold up his hands while the robbers went through the money drawer Farmers Are Busy Husking Corn Farmers are getting on with their corn husking around Ithaca Some are through while the most are in the rush now Corn is of good quality and is yielding about thirty bushels per acre on the average Winter wheat looks well The acreage is large West Point Cadets Contribute A considerable sum of money has been collected in West Point for the Childrens building at the Transmississippi Exposi tion at Omaha Nearly all West Point boys and girls feel that they have a direct interest in the building Burglars

depth of water in the fall insures good crops the next year The corn crop is therefore assurred Thats the way Nebraska is fixed Mrs Weathermin residing six miles north of Benkelman is achieving quite a reputation as a snake exterminator In two days last week she killed seventeen rattlers James Boss who lives west of Tecumseh was helping about a corn sheller one day iast week ana in some way the thumb ol his lett hand was caught in the gearing o the machine and badly mangled GORMAN IS BEATEN Republicans Control the Legislature in Maryland According to Associated Press dis patches an official count of the ballots cast in Maryland leaves no further room for doubt that the Republicans have con trol of both branches of the Legislature and that a Republican will succeed Ar thur P Gorman in the United States Senate The Republicans have forty nine f JtvJ llHjlr m k fmI mmmi P members in the House and the Dem ocrats forty two The Republicans also have eighteen Senators to eight for the Democrats and a majority on joint a ballot of seventeen Among those mosx prominently men tioned as the proba ble successor to Senator Gorman are Alexander Shaw former Con- cenatob gorman gressman John V L Findlay Postmaster General Gary a nd Congressman Sidney E Mudd The result will make no immediate change in Senator Gormans plans as his tc nn does not expire until March 4 1S99 Mr Gorman will not be troubled by the howling of the traditional wolf of pov erty at his door He probably could draw bis check for 3000000 without an in dorsement His money was made large ly through lucky investments in some Coal and iron lands in western Maryland Mr Gorman will be missed in the Sen rte In one way and another he has been Hssociated with this body at various times since 1852 when he entered it as a page In January 1880 he was elected to the United States Senate to succeed William Pinckney White He took his seat March 4 1881 and was re elected in 1886 and in 1892 COURTS MAY DECIDE Ohio Election Will Result in Nnmer ous Contests The contest for the control of the Ohio Legislature will likely be carried into the courts To the official returns of close counties protests have been made It is proposed now to prevent the issue of cer tificates of election to certain legislative candidates if the courts will so order Press dispatches say that if Wood County should finally be put in the Democratic list by the official figures the Legislature would stand 74 Republicans to 71 Demo crats While this is a mathematical ma jority of 3 it is a constitutional surplus MARK HAXIfA of only 1 to guarantee the re election of Senator Hanna It requires seventy three votes or a ma jority of all the 145 members to elect a Senator on joint ballot With only seventy-four votes in the Legislature the death of a Republican member or a Re publican vacancy from any cause would leave the bare majority and if Wood Count should elect a Democratic repre sentative there would no doubt be start ling developments at once in at least two other counties It is estimated that there were 900000 votes cast of which the deciding seventy votes is an infinitesimal per cent The Republican plurality on the State ticket approaches 29000 CUBANS WILL NOT SURRENDER Officers in Pinar del Rio Providence Ilssue a Proclamation The following official document has been issued by the Cubans from Pinar del Rio province to the world We will never forget the bloody of fenses of the sanguinary Weyler repre senting the Spanish nation his assassina tion of aged people women and children the persecution of our
