A slight error appeared In the pub llshed report yesterday of the plal form adopted at the congressional con ventlon at Fremont. Corrected , th platform Is as follows : We , the representatives of the re publicans of the Third congresslona district , In convention assemble ! hereby renew our allegiance to th principles of republicanism. Wo heartily endorse the admlnlstra tlon of President Roosevelt , and w especially endorse the administrate for the enactment of the rate bill a the last session of congress. Wo de mand that the nominee of this coi vontlon pledge himself favorable to lie enactment of such additional login at Ion along his line , as may bo ro ulrcil to establish beyond question , lie right of the people through tliolr oproHJiitntlvos In legislative halls , to iroscrlbe regulations of all transpor- atlon companies. We declare an abiding faith In the rcat principles of republicanism , nunclntod In the platforms of the re- uhllcau party The provisions of the x 1st Ing Dlngloy tariff have brought > this country a degree of prosperity at Is marvelous. The manufactur- ig enterprise of this country Is the dmlratlon of the world and our ton illllons of wane earners are today on- oylng comforts of life unknown to uy other country or to any other ago. Vo do not claim that schedules are orfoct , nor do wo object to any such lodlllcatlons therein as the changing ondltlons of our times may require , ut wo place ourselves unreservedly n record In favor of the principle of 10 protective tariff. Wo urge the adoption by the \otors f Nebraska , of the constitutional mondmont submitted through the otes at the forthcoming election pro- Idlug for an elective railway com- ilsslou. Wo favor the enactment of laws pro- Idiug for a direct primary system , rohlhltlng railway companies from ssulng free transportation to persons ( her than actual employes or persons n charge of live stock In transit and ogitlatlng freight and passenger rates n railways so as to abolish all forms f discrimination , and requiring rail- uuil companies to give public notice f a change In freight rates at least lilrty days In advance thereof. Wo hoaitlly commend the present tate administration. Their zeal and dollty In the Interests of the tax * ayers of the state , have brought hour - r to themselves and credit to the reat party wo represent. Particular- y , do we commend the administration f the several state Institutions , and olnt with pride to the high standard f excellence maintained at these In- tltutlons , and the low rale of per aplta charge. Believing In the justice of the prln- Iples represented by our party .and dodging our nominee to faithful sor- Ice In the Interests of the constitu ents of the district , we most conll- ontly appeal to the voters for their upport , to the end that our district nay be and remain on the side of our great president , Theodore Roosevelt. T'S NOT A TIN ROOF , BUT A COAT OF GREAT PAINT. THE PAINTERS 'MIXED' NAMES Then They Mixed Paint , and Got Busy on the Wrong House A Comical Situation , Resulting From the Same Name Over Two Different Homes. Hero's oone on the house. No , It's lot a tin roof It's a coat of paint. It all happened because two families mined Marquardt live In the same dock on the same street In Norlolk , ind because each of them had talked ibout having the house painted. The comedy of the situation rivals "Who's Who ? " and "Tho Wrong Mr. Wright. " As a result , It is one on C. F. A. Mar- quardt's liouse , though hardly one on Charlie. It ought to be on the house of Mrs. G. H. Marquardt Instead. In cidentally , It Is a good one on the mlnters who did the job. This is how t was. Mrs. G. II. Marquardt , who lives be tween Fourth and Fifth streets on Madison avenue , contracted with S. G. Dean to have her house painted. Some time ago C. F. A. Marquardt , who lives two doors west , had talked with Mr. Dean about having his house minted , but had decided not to do It this summer. Day before oj-esterday Mr. Dean left town. Ho gave Instructions to his mtnters to go over on Madison av- onno and paint Mrs. Mat-qua nit's louse. And the painters did It. Only , It was the wrong Mrs. Marquardt's house. But the painters didn't know the difference. So they painted. Thej jegan early and labored hard , plaster ing the brushes over the siding. The paint Is a gray. Mrs. C. F. A. Mar quardt asked the painters who tel < them to paint. They said Dean. "She linew Mr. Marquardt had talked of the plan , and decided he must have decld ed to have It done. So she let It go at that , and the paint kept smearing At noon Charlie didn't go home to lunch. So there was no stop In the job. At night there was one coat o paint on the house. Then Charllo came home. "Who told you to paint this ? " ho asked. "Dean , " said they. "Now chop It , " said he. "I told him I didn't want my house painted. I do elded not to paint It. What kind of a game Is this ? " So they quit. Meanwhile Mrs. G. H. Marquard wondered why those painters dldn' keep their promise and come when they said they would. She wanted the grey coat on the house. But Mr. Dean was out of town. So the painters quit on the one , didn't start on the other and there was Inactivity In the Mar quardt neighborhood yesterday. A-s a result , C. F. A. Marquardt has one coat of paint on Ills house. Ques tion : How about the second coat ? Born. To Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Smith , living on South Fourth street , Saturday af ternoon , a nlno pound daughter. 10IIEEI HI STATE CONFERENCE OF CHARI TIES AND CORRECTION.
