CONDUCTOR GALLUP STABBED
Well Known Former Norfolk Railroader
reader Slashed by Passenger.
Norfolk friends ofConductor W. D.
Gallup wore startled when they learn
ed that ho had been slashed up by a
passenger on the evening passenger
train , headed from Norfolk to Omaha.
Gallup's condition is as favorable ns
could bo expected under the circum
stances.
The railroad man was stabbed in
the face , and n dozen stitches were
required to sow up the gash. Ho was
also cut in the ribs. The assailant , a
crlpplo named Andy Hultz , was Jailed
nt Arlington.
Hultz claimed ho had given the
conductor his ticket , though ho had
boarded the train at Fremont and the
conductor was going through for the
first tlmo. Ilultz was told to leave
the train at Arlington. Conductor
Gallup , coming back through the tralni
addressed Hultz who then viciously
assaulted him with a knife , cutting a
great gash on the left side of Gallup's
face from his oar to his nose , barely
missing his eye , and slashing the con
ductor's arm.
Passengers seized Mid hold HiiUz
who was placed under arrest and jr > il-
cd at Arlington. Conductor Gallup
was taken to Dr. U. A. Davics' office
and his wouiuls dressed. Ho left
town later and took a train Into
Omaha.
ShreifT Baumnnn of Fremont was
notified and took Hultz to Fremont
the assault having been committed in
Dodge county.
Mr. Gallup is one of the oldest and
most popular conductors on the divis
ion. Ho resides at 722 Sixth avenue

EARL FAIRBANKS IN TROUBLE
Former Norfolk Youth and Scribner
Girl Elope to Stanton.
Fremont. Nob. , Sept. 22. Efforts of !
Earl Fairbanks and Letha Ross , both
of Scribner , to satisfy the dictates of .
cupld were rudely terminated last
evening when their second attempted
elopement was nipped by officers at
Stanton. As a sequel to the capture
of the runaways David Uoss , father of
the girl , came to Fremont and filed a
complaint in justice court against
young Fairbanks charging him with
decoying away his IG-year-old daugh
ter.
Fairbanks formerly lived at Norfolk
Armed with a warrant for Fair
banks' arrest , Sheriff Bauman took the
morning train for Stanton where the
young man Is held by the officers
The prisoner was brought to Froinon lt
on the afternoon train and arralgnei !
before Justice Dame.
The Uoss girl and her young lover
disappeared from their homos in Scrlb
ner about simultaneously Friday and
all efforts by parents and friends tc
locate them wore in vain. Word was
sent out to the police of cities in al
directions asking them to pick up the
youth and his girl companion at sight
Things were quiet for a day or twc
and friends of the elopers commencec
to think that this time tholr effort
had succeeded and they had found i
way to have the connubial knot tied
when the word came that Falrbank
had been caught at Stanton.
It Is the supposition that , unaware
that they were being watched for
irv
young Fairbanks alighted fiom th
Northwestern train at the depot whll 1
1n"
l > the love stricken girl descended fron
the car on the other sldo. The shorlf
at once "nabbed" the youthful mnl 1
1T
runaway , but the train with the glr
aboard pulled out before they coulc 1
locate her. A wire to the officers a
Norfolk served the purpose , however
for she was taken Into custody nt th
lin
station there when the train pulled in
Several months ago , in the belle
that she loved him , the Ross girl ra
away from homo with Fairbanks :
Their period of bliss was short lived !
A cruel , flinty-hearted officer at Hoop
IPm
cr corralled them In the waiting roon
at the depot and persisted In forcing
his attentions.upon thorn until father
atid brother of the girl arrived to take
her'homo. The marshal' attitude at
once changed to that of the 'utmost
oiiBldoratlon and .ho kindly took a
> ng walk about the outskirts of the
Illago while young Ross proceeded to
lean up the depot floor with his sis-
or'w lever OH a mop rag.
The sad termination of tholr first
onturo along the rough highways and
ywayH which they pursued in quest of
onnublal happiness did not prove a
oath-blow to tholr affections. Nolgh-
ors say that for weeks past they have
con mooting clandestinely to plight
loir troth , and the second Hzzlod
lopemont is the result.

Spencer Theater Sold.
Spencer , Neb. , Sept. 22. Special to
The News : Fred J. Sedlacek sold the
Spencer opera house to the Z. C. B. J.
1
'odgo this week. Mr. Sedlacek built
iho opera house , a building 40x80 , six
years ago , and has always had good 1'
business , as Spencer , is listed as one !
of the best show towns this side of
Norfolk , but his big increase in busi
ness In the bottling works caused him 1
to sell at this time. It was a cash 1
t
deal.
The Results Make Test.
Lincoln , Sept. 22. It is distinctly
fair and , in fact , the only safe test to
judge a political party by the results
achieved when It assumes to take
charge of and transact the public busl-
ness of the state or nation.
The democratic party of Nebraska
is today fairly subject to that test ,
inasmuch as it lias made a public rec '
ord within the last year and is today
calling on the voters of the state for
support for Its party candidates for
election to the Important positions of
justices of the supreme court and re
gents of the university.
The question is before the people
is the democratic party entitled to
the confidence of the voters of Ne
braska on the record of things ac
complished when entrusted with au
thority by the people ?
The record made by the democratic
legislature of the past winter is the
best and most recent answer to that
question and is worthy of n brief
review In that connection. With the
democratic party in full power in the
" lawmaking branch of the state gov
ernment , with n largo majority In both
houses , and a democratic governor
ready to place the seal of approval
on all democratic legislation the party
had n clear track and an open order
from the people to redeem all its
promises for remedial and progressive
legislation.
What was the result ?
Some two hundred and two of the
avalanche of proposed laws presented
to the legislature were enacted , most
of them trivial and of small Import t-
ance , many of them relating to local
Incidents of no Interest -the'Blata
ntlargo , numbers of thorn making
room at the public plo-countor. for
democratic olllco-scekera and perhaps
loss than a score of them of any Im
portance to the stuto generally.
The legislation cost the tnx-payora
of the state a round ono hundred
thousand dollars , that being the
amount of the appropriation for leg
islative salaries and expenses for the
session , or an average of $1 , < JGG for
every day the legislation was In ses
sion and an average of $500 for each
law enacted , good , had or Indifferent.
This Is the return , apparently , that
the people of Nebraska received for
the hundred thousand dollars spent
on the democratic legislature.
But what did they actually receive ?
That Is "another story. "
Results have proven that the demo
cratic party as an organisation was
so Incompetent that a considerable
portion of the legislation enacted at
n cost of nearly sovqntcen hundred
dollars a day of the tax-payers' money ,
has been found fatally defective in the
courts , Is shown to bo contrary to con
stitutional provisions and Is In con
sequence null and void. Suit after
suit has followed to annul the careless
and unconstitutional acts of the demo
cratic legislature , the latest ono being
brought to court by Judge J. J. Sul
livan , himself a democratic candidate
for supreme judge , to defeat the oc-
.
Icupation tax placed on corporations
by the legislature.
The first litigation growing out of
the late session of the legislature was
that resulting from an attempt of the
Joint convention of the legislative to
I use and usurp the functions of the
state canvassing board and to recan-
vass the vote on the constitutional
amendments , certify the same to the
governor , have him make his procla
mation declaring the amendments car
ried , and then appoint four judges of
the supreme court , all of which duties
had been performed according to law
by the state canvassing board and
the governor long before the legisla
ture convened. This litigation was
styled State ex rel. Oldhnm v. Dean ,
121 N. W. 719 , resulting in a decision i
In favor of the action of the state s
canvassing board and Governor Shel
don In canvassing the vote and the
appointment by Governor Sheldon of
the judges of the supreme court.
Another suit was State ex rel. Ra-
gan v. Junkln , attacking the constitu
tionality of the so-called Donohoe nonpartisan -
partisan educational and judicial elec
tion law. This suit resulted in a hold
ing by the court that the act of the
legislature was unconstitutional. The
court's opinion was rendered August
18 , 1909.
The next law assailed was the act
entitled , "An act to amend sections
one (1) ( ) and twenty-two (22) ( ) of sub
division thirteen (13) ( ) , chapter sev
enty-nine (79) ( ) of the compiled Stat
utes of Nebraska for 1907 , and to re
peal the said original sections as they
now exist and to provide for an emer
gency. " The real purpose of this act
was to remove from ofllco the present
member of the state board of educa
tion and to authorize the democratic
governor to appoint a now board. The
constitutionality of this act is in ques
tion in a suit entitled State ex rel.
.
I Thompson v. Majors et al.
I Another act passed by the leglsla-
ture and which is assailed In the
'
courts as unconstitutional is the "bank
'
guaranty" act. The suit was commenced -
, menced in the federal court and a tern-
porary Injunction has been Issued , restraining -
straining the enforcement of the law
1 ' until final order of the court.
| Another act passed by the leglsla-
ture , the constitutionality of which is
J challenger In the courts , is the act
.taxing corporations. This suit was
I commenced in the district court and 1
will soon be submitted on demurrer.
Perhaps one of the most Insipid 1
acts of the late legislature is chapter
83 of the Session Laws of 1909. This
bill as originally drawn and intro
duced by Senator Randall , fixed proper
'
penalties against railroads and railroad -
road officials for failure to enforce
, the same. The committee to whom
the bill was referred removed all the
' penalties provided for In the bill
, Whenever tested with responsibility
' against the railroads and their of-
llcials affected thereby , and rendered 1
|
the act of apparently no vital effect.
Another act of the late legislature ,
which has been rendered Impossible
of enforcement , Is House Roll 358 ,
relative to the charge of transporta
tion for residium fuel oil or fuel pe-
, trolenm , by reason of errors which
, crept Into the enrolled bill through
the incompetency of the engrossing
(
or enrolling clerks In falling to enroll
the amendments made thereto by the
senate. \
J Even some of the "pie-counter" bills ,
, intended to make jobs for democrats
on the public payroll were so faulty
. that the democratic pollticans have
not attempted to exercise authority un-
dor them and "claim the jobs" notab-
t\y \ the new law giving the appointment t
of the secretary of the printing board
to the democratic governor a law
that was passed expressly for the ben
ellt of a democratic member of the
late lamented legislature who was to
"have the job. "
This Is a glimpse of democratic
competency and efllclency as evidenced
denced by the democratic legislature
Whenever tseted with responsibility
the democratic party has failed to
"make good. "
To avoid the responsibility for its
recent failures the democratic party
is this year out on a "non-partisan1
platform and Is raising a cry for the
election of democratic candidates as
non-partisans. This deceives no ono
it is the democratic plan to avoh
the responsibility for the recorded
acts and failures of the democratic
party.
TO GIVE PROOFS TO WORLD ,
Cook Says He Will Fully Answer
Peary's Challenge ,
Now York , Sept. 22. "I shall await
jventsaid Dr. Cook to the ASHO-
laed ( Progs. ' ' .
"When my material has bcon got
ogcthor and .put Into shape It will
o submitted in the first instance to
ho University of Copenhagen. After
hat it will bo laid before the geographical -
graphical societies of the world. I
vlll not consent to submit any frag-
nuntary portions of my observations
r of my records to any other. The
oport and all the data connected with
uy trip must bo examined In tholr on-
Ircty , together with my Instruments ,
omo of which I have In my posses-
Ion now and others of which are on
holr way to America , at the present
nomont. These will all Uo properly
on trolled and tested before subnils-
Ion to the scientific bodies. "
Asked why ho did not Immediately
give full details of his achievement ,
Ur. Cook said :
"I have given to the public a con-
: lso account of my Journey similar
o that always given by explorers on
holr return from a Journey of ox-
iteration. For the present no other
letalls are necessary and as a matter
jf fact no further specific events of
uy claim have bcon called for from
iny side. It has never bcon custom-
iry hitherto for explorers to make
nolr full record public in such hasto.
13 n rule scientific societies arc not
emarkablo for tholr rapidity In coni
ng to conclusions , and they arc us-
mlly content to wait until complete
iatu are compiled. "
In regard to the full recognition of
ils feat by Denmark Dr. Cook re-
narked :
Daagaard-Jense , inspector of Dan-
sh North Greenland , after hearing
tasmusscn and talking with Governor
Craul of upernavlk , who has seen and
ead the entire record , telegraphed to
ho Danish government in Copenhagen
ils assurance of the truth of my dec-
arations and guaranteeing them as
uthentlc. The Danish authorities in
( reenland , who are in reality the nd-
Isers of the Danish government , have
) oen for nearly four months In pos
session of all details of my trip. The
Danish government and the Unlver-
stty of Copenhagen , as well as the
Danish Geographical society , have on
heir report taken over the virtual
; uaranteo of the sincerity and authen-
.icity of my records. They have stood
up for them , so to speak , before the
vorld. They do not ask mo to fur-
ilsh any further proofs or evidence
of any'kind , but In justice to Denmark
t Is my intention to place the first
completed record of my polar Journey
it the disposal of the University of
openhagon. "
Ready to Meet Any Charges.
Referring to Commander Peary , Dr.
ook said :
"I have as yet heard nothing but
vague reports. I prefer for the pres
ent to believe that the statements
which have been attributed to Peary
are Incorrect. I am fully prepared to
neet any charges , but I must first
see something definite. I am absolute-
y certain none of the reports that
mve appeared in print emanate either
from my Eskimo Ahwelah and Etukls-
nik or from Harry Whitney. Mr.
Whitney has without any doubt kept
ils promise to me not to say anything
about the expedition and Its results
and I feel sure of my Eskimos. Mr.
Whitney will return to America about
the middle of October. Ho has com
plete knowledge of all the facts. He
s at entire liberty to make public all
: ie knows. He is neither bound to
stand up for me nor for Peary. "
In connection with the proposition
that Ahwelah and Etuklslm should bo
brought to America , Dr. Cook said :
"The arrival In America of the Eskl-
nos who went with mo to the pole
depends entirely upon the possibility
of obtaining a vessel to bring them
this year. Every effort has been made
to obtain one , and if at all possible
they will bo in New York this year.
That they will come is certain , and I
intend to give them a year in
America. They will be open to any
and of examination and will be ready
to reply to any questions.
'Kiuul Rasmussen also will be re
quested to come over to New York as
soon as ho lands in Denmark. "
Not to Go to Pole Again.
On the question of his plans Dr.
Cook said :
"I intend to stay in Now York for
the present. While there I shall com
plete my work. I have not made any
arrangements for lectures and I have
not yet decided whether I shall de
liver any addresses before my work
is done. I should not , however , like
to commit myself on that point , al
though my present intention is not
to do so.
"An to further explorations , much
will depend on Mrs. Cook. I shall ,
however , probably not go again to the
north pole , although I may proceed
on a northern expedition for the ex
ploration of the new land wo saw on
our journey. That Is a task that must
be carried out. Whether I shall un
dertake It or not will be a question
for future consideration. It has been
suggested that I go to the south polo ,
but I am quite content to leave that
to Shackelton and Scott. "
Dr. Cook requested the Associated
Press to correct several errors which
inadvertently crept Into the first re
ports of his discovery.
"All my themomeferical observa
tions were , " ho said , "In Fahrenheit
and not centigrade , as printed. The
observation on March 30 gave our po
sition as latitude 84.47 , longitude 9G.-
36. The first corrected altitude of
the sun on April 21 gave 89 degrees ,
69 minutes , 45 seconds , and we then
covered the remaining 15 seconds and
made furthpr observations. "
"Havo you your notes and data with
you ? " was asked.
"Yes. "
"Then what matter does Mr. Whit
ney hold ? "
"Mr. Whitney has my Instruments
and some delicate data. Mr. AVhitnoy
Is a noble gentleman and can bo
I trusted to speak the truth. "
