1'iirH in Nebraska. II. Al. Steldley ,
leld secretary of the Nebraska Hun
.ny School Association , and Allss Min-
lie Sleldley of Otoe county , primary
ecretnry , were in Norfolk Kund.iv
Ir. Steldley said Ihal Ihe Sunday
school was now reaching alter the
iiislness men , finding that If the btisl-
IOBS men could be Interested little
rouble was bad in gaining the alien-
i'anre of children and others.
A young woman , evidently inev
lerlenced In I raveling , started to
inard the Sioux City train at the June-
Ion. A brakeman stationed at the

B being planned by County Siiporin

, 'narful lest the studying of spelling
should fall into disrepute.
It will be a huge thins , this spell
ing bee. The head of.the Hue will IK

Mr. I'crdim wants every school

ieacher and school graduate for that

Tlie "spell down" will be started

Alarshal Kennedy , who tu a locu
way has won something of a reputi
tion as a police olllcer. ran up agnins
a real Itosebud erook the other night
and , sad to relate , came out second
best. It was last week , when the
crooks were coming down the line
from Ihe Itosehud.
Frank Carson , who lives northeast
of Aladlson , made the acquaintance
of the crook quite accidentally , and
also qufte accidentally was relieved
of a fur coat and $ ! . " > by the expert
from the north.
Now Kennedy got busy and soon
had the. thug under arrest. The man
bad the fur coat on his back and pre
sumably the 515 In his pocket. But
he protested vigorously as lie was
towed along that the coat was really
his.
They came to a dark alley. "Do
you really think Unit this coat is
stolen ? " demanded tlie crook. " 1 do , "
said Kennedy firmly. "Then take your
old coat , " and Mr. Crook slid out of
the coat , which the marshal held by
the collar.
The crook left Ihe coat with a two-
yard jump straight down the alloy ,
Kennedy held tlie sack. The coal
trick gave the llosobitd crook just
enough lend to make a clean "get
away. "
And the stranger had taken the
palm ; to remove the ? 1. from the
overcoat pocket , lie has not been
caught.
Nebraska Safe for Taft.
Lincoln. Neb. . Oct. 21.- Special to
The News : Nebraska Is safely He-
publican. This is asserted after a
careful survey of the state ; after an
examination of political condition *
from one end of the common wealth to
the other ; after repented assurances
from those who are In charge of the
Nebraska campaign for Taft mid He-
piibllcanlsm.
A few weeks ago n different story
might have been told. Republicans
may as well admit that if the election
bad been held in August Air. Bryan
\\ould have bad an almost equal
< hance In bis own state
Hut many things can happen in two
months , especially In politics , and to-
da ) Ihcio iippiars to be no more
probabllit.x that tin Democrats can
wry Nebniftkn than there wan In
000 when. It will be remembered , thej
.vpronscd great coiilldence In tlu > out-
'nme.
Sheldon IB Safe.
The foregoing remarks are lia.i'id
upon the national emu eat us It tip
idleH to thlH atale. So far us the lie-
publican state ticket Is concerned
Llie inoHt enthusiastic Democrat has t.
liard time making himself believe that
A. C. Shullonbcrger has an even show
with Governor Sheldon or that the
Democratic slate ticket will come
ivlthln several Ihontiand votes of llry-
un's strength.
The Outcome Predicted.
Ileie. then , Is n brief prophecy ol
Ihe results In Nebraska in November ,
nnd It will be followed by reaso'i" lot
Ihe advancement of such opinions :
Mr , Hryan will run ahead of lit-- ticket
lint even at that will lack from l.l.niu
lo 2CMIOO of having enough voles tt ,
nhe him the stati' . Governor Sheldon
will run ahead of his ticket and will
be n-elecled by a plurality of fron ,
; ! & , ( ) ( ) < ) to in.ono. The rest of the Ice-
publican state ticket will run out ?
slightly behind It. The Republicans
will elect about six congressmen.
Why Dryan Will Lose State.
Some folks say that this prediction
is over-optimistic , | > ul to those who
have studied the state It must appeal
reasonable.
For Instance : A lending Republican
of Beatrice said a few days ago that
Mr. Bryan would receive the votes ol
at least (10 ( Republicans in Gage < oun
i ? . Suppose we accept Ibis as a fall
prophecy. There are ninety count let
In Nebraska two of which are so mud
larger than Gage that they will be
figured separately.
Some of the Nebraska counties have
populations almost as small as tin
number of Republican votes Bryan i
supposed to receive In Gage , but foi
the sake of liberality It will be grant
r'd that each of the eighty-eight conn-
tics will give Bryan ( Kl Republican
\otes. Thai would be 17,1100. Now
let us ngioo that Bryan will have l.OOC
IccpublUjtn votes In Lancaster aur'
i.Oim in Douglas-- figures absnrdl ?
large--and we have only 20,000 , which
Mr. Bryan's most enthusiastic friemU
will have to admit is a long distance
from the more than 85,000 , lead whicl
Mr. Roosevelt had over his opponent
four years ago.
Bryan Won't Gain Much in Lincoln
As a matter of fact , Mr. Bryan mav.
'count himself fortunate it he receives
5110 Republican votes In his own conn
ty , on the ground that he ought to hi
supported as n1 neighbor. So far at
Omaha and Douglas county are concerned
corned , the wage earners and UK
farmers are alike so prosperous tha
they will refuse to turn out the part ?
in power in exchange for an industria
uncertainty. There will be no "ban
lines" votes for Bryan in the huge )
: -ltics of Nebraska. The Democrats
have no valid reasons to give to tin
farmers of the state for deserting All
Taft , and they are at a loss for excuses
cuses to offer the men who toil In the
factories of our prosperous cities am
towns.
Why Guaranty Issue Don't Work.
Aloreover , the question of our ban !
guaranty , which It was thought for :
while would prove tempting bait fo
[ he rural vote of this state , has provei
a sad disappointment to the Demc
rats. At any ratef vv Republican
will forsake their party on account o
it. for they realize that their own pc
lltical organization will be able t
irasp this question of the security o
bank deposits and deal with it wisel
long before the Democrats sni'ceed ii
m-ttiiig both a president and a con
cress at the same time.
The fae-t that the Republicans o
Nebraska do not endorse the wll
guaranty se-lieme now in force in th
stale of.Oklahoma Is no evidence tha
a majority of the Republicans are e > i
posed to legislation for the insnrin
of confidence and the prevention o
money panics. On the e-ontrnry. th
Republicans of Nebraska aie in favo
of SOUK' kind of legislation that sha
make bank deposits more1 secure1. I in
they elo not favor the Oklahoma Ider
which would intensity and be > a breec
or of llnniiclnl disturbances.
The Farmer and the Tariff.
If there is one Ihiiiy ; that. nuire tha
nil others , would Induce the pvospei
ons farmers of this state to vet
against Air. Bryan , it Is the tariff record
ord of Hie Democratic candidate. 1
is only necessary te > call to mind Hi
farm prices that were paid when th
Democrats were last in power , an
then ask the farmers to note Hi
prices they receive today , In order t
estop most of them from votlnir ' 'o
a "change. " i\ir. \ Bryan's free n-ncl
policy has always proved dlsnsrrou
to Hie wage earner , closing Ihe lac
tory in which he was emplo\ed. us
result of theeheap labor compntlfio
of Knropcnn countries. The tariif U
sue Is no producer of Democratic vm < ?
this year.
Bryan Has Lost Populists.
Then it must not be forgot 11:11 ilia
Mr. Bryan has lost much of M.e | ' , |
ulist support that he received in Sill
bile the "independent" vol. ' Is als
kept from him. With Wai son p-illin
votes away in the Populist in'inlios ' o
Nebraska , and with Hearst1- : man , Ills
gen , taking voles from lil.n in th
wage-earning centers of the tilnte , I
Is dllllcult to see fiom ) ii.i vim
sources the supporters of tlie Dmno
entile candidate expcu-t teget tie | |
increase' this year.
A few weeks ago , as miifosnio.i ha
already been made , many N'o'iru ' Oft
tic'pnhlli-ans were In tlie miiid of voting
ing for Air. Bryan on th" giound Hiat
lie > had proved to be' a goevl , wcvthj
citizen ; that he bad iviKu.il gieai

On state IHKUOS the Republicans have
record that l so creditable as lo
reclnde the possibility of defeat. The
list legislature redeemed every party

at Ion than any other law-making body
