CONGRESSIONAL PLATFORM.
Adopted at the Republican Congres
slonal Convention In Fremont.
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

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.

time for a number of Norfolk's citi
zens to go swimming below the dam
every evening. Between fifteen and
twenty are to bo seen swimming there
at night. There Is great sport among

have not been in the river for a num
ber of years. They have almost for
gotten how to swim and It Is almost an
Impossibility to dive. One of Norfolk s
prominent merchants went down last
evening , the llrst time he has boon In
fijr twenty yours. After a short time
ho found that he could just maneuver
his arms and legs In such a manner
that he could stay on top , hut could
make no headway. Then he decided
that the best thing for him to do waste
to dive , so a Hat bottom boat was secured -
cured and he made some of the most
graceful dives that have over been wit
nessed In this community
