would sign mtc.li a law an the county

In a minute. " '
In flpciihliig of bin oiiponont ho do-
olared that ho WIIH Hiiro ho had Mr.
Aldrlch defeated already , hut ho had
conio to Norfolk to ask the voters to
come to the polln moro freely on elec

greater for him than It wan during the

Allen's Opening Speech.
Preceding Mayor Dahlman , Ex-
Senator W. V. Allen of Madison de
livered an eloquent address , which he
called bis opening campaign address.
Ho paid high tribute to every candi
date on the democratic- ticket and al
though ho treated very nicely the op
ponents of those candidates ho de
clared ho was for the candidates on
the democratic side because they stood
for the things ho believed in.
Senator Allen declared that when
the legislature makes a law the gover
nor has no right to veto it , that should
ho do BO ho is violating his oatli of
office. So long as that law Is within
the constitution the governor should
approve It or if It Is in not within
the constitution ho can reject It.
Turning to Mayor Dahlman ho said :
Allen and Dahlmnn Clash.
"And you ain't going to veto It , Mr.
Mayor. "
Senator Allen however received his
answer later when the Omaha mayor
declared ho "would veto It In a min
ute. "
Senator Allen talked of county op
tion on the same lines as Mr. Dahl-
man's address. lie touched a trltlo on
the tariff and declared Edgar Howard's
attack on 0. M. Hitchcock was a per
sonal one.
13. P. Weatherby was platform chair
man and ho introduced each Speaker
with a neat speech , giving them both
praise. Ho declared ho had known Mr.
Dahlman many years ago when ho had
himself been a candidate for public

RESCUED CUMMINS.
Chairman Husencttor Saved Noted
Statesman's Life.
Lincoln Journal : Chairman Wil
liam Hiiscnotter of the republican
state committee received a pleasant
surprise durlm ; the short stay of
United States Henator A. U. CummliiH
on Thursday last , Ho found out that
the dlHtlngnlshod statesman from Iowa
had been In early llfo Indebted to him
for IIH ! life. The two had parted com
pany , nolther knowing the name of
the other , and It was only by the
merest accident that the subject was
bronohed and the Incident brought
out.
After the meeting Thursday alter-
noon Senator Cummins and Chairman
Husenotler were conversing at the
hotel , Knch mentioned that he hailed
in t'arly youth from northeastern
Iowa. Senator Cummins asked- :
"Do you happen to be related to
Uncle John Hnsenotter who used to
operate the ferry on Turkey river ? "
'Related to him ! ' cried the chair
man. "Why If It hadn't been for htm
I suppose I would not have been In
existence. Ho was my father. "
"What ! " said the senator in amaze
ment. "Then maybe you remem
ber the lime Hlchard Flanagan and 1
came near drowning In the river In
the spring of 1S71 ? "
"Well , I pulled u young fellow out
of the water that day , " Haid Husenot-
ter with a broad grin of delight. "I
never knew hln name but If you were
with Richard Flanagan that day on
the river I guess I "am the man that
pulled you to land. "
And thus the story came out , and
the two men , one a prosperous Ne
braska cattleman , the other n noted
lawyer and statesman discussed again
the Incident which was momentous ,
at least In the llfo of Senator Cum
mins
The story as It was recounted show
ed that Mr. Cummins , then n young
carpenter , had gone swimming with
Hlchard Flanagan , and both came
near being drowned. They were haul
ed out by Mr. Husenetter and his
brother. Mr. Cummins and Flana
gan , who had como to the vicinity to
work as carpenters , spent the night
at the llusenetter home.
HIS HOUSE A GIGANTIC EAR.
Whlspero in the Mellon Home Were
Magnified 1,600 Times.
Plttsbnrg , Nov. 2. In an effort to
learn the details of the defense which
his beautiful English wife means to
enter to his action for divorce on the
grounds of Infidelity , Andrew W. Mel
lon , the millionaire banker of this
city , spent honsands of dollars equip
ping his mansion on Forbes street
witli a remarkable Invention by
Thomas A. Edison , the acoustiplione.
Thirteen of these Instruments , each
one of which will magnify a whisper
l.fiOO times and carry it to any given
point , were Installed in the house by
Mr. Mellon In his wife's absence ,
and arrangements were made by the
millionaire banker to have all of the
conversations which his wife held ,
either with her attorneys or her
friends , taken down In shorthand.
The servants In the house wore
apprised of Mr. Mellon's plans be
cause It was Impossible to install the
instruments without their knowledge.
The most liberal inducements were
given them to keep the matter a sec
ret , ljut one old servant , said to bo
the housekeeper , declaring that the
plan was "despicable and contempti
ble , " apprised her mistress of it , with
the result ( thnt Mr. Mellon's spies
were treated to some amazing conver
sations , not one of which will bo of
the slightest use In the litigation
which Is soon to como to a head in
the courts.
When Mrs. Mellon , her attorney ,
Paul S. Ashe , and her friends wearied
of amusing themselves at the expense
of Mr. Mellon and his agents they
took hatchets and chopped out all
the carefully laid wires.

Dr. Davis Attacks " 400. "
Preceding Rev. Mr. Uuell's address
President O. S. Davis of the Chicago
Theological seminary , in his devotion
al hour address , attacked the " 400"
of New York.
"If the 400 of New York think they
can defy all laws of decency because
they arc rich , " ho said , "and bo there
by released from ordinary moral obli
gations , It Is but nn application of ag
nosticism to modern life.
"I came out of the railroad yard
and 1 know life , and I am afraid of
the saloon as an ovll place for myself.
1 keep away. 1 have no sympathy
with agnostic modern llfo.
"I met in a lioston prison n man.
He was behind the bars when 1 Ilrst
saw him. Ho knelt on the iron door
Inside the bars and I knelt on the Iron
door on the outside. I reached Irt
through the bars and took his hand
and we prayed together for his for
giveness.
When he went out of prison with a
new purpose within him he fell in
twenty-four hours because of the open
saloon which was before him. Ho
could not stand the temptation and
the state was a partner in licensing
the thing which made him fall. The
man , however , is now making good
through his now testament and
prayiH1. "

"China Is nol ready for a parliament
and It Is not likely that one will como
BOOH , even though the throne did
promise on Monday of this week that
the popular demand would .shortly be
.satisfied. It is to be hoped that the
parliament Is not given the Chinese
now and as the oriental mind Is not
capable of keeping promises , It Is like
ly this pledge will bo broken. "
Tills is the statement of Dr. Francis
Flpher Tuqker , nn American mission
ary in Cliinn in charge of the Williams
hospital at Pang Cliuang , a short dis
tance south of Peking , who Is in Nor-
I oik attending the Nebraska confer
ence of Congregational churches. Dr.
Tucker will speak at the church this
evening. Mrs. Tucker , who Is also a
physician , Is at Falls City visiting
friends.
Coal for World for 10,000 , Years.
China Is n nation of vast resources ,
according to Dr. Tucker. Tliero Is
enough hard coal in that country , it Is
estimated , to furnish the world's fuel
supply for the next 10,000 yearn.
There is scarcely a province in
China which Is not ricli in coal , al
though this supply has not yet been
tapped , as modern methods of mining
are lacking. There are other vast re
sources. Hitch as iron and quicksilver.
The Chinese llvo In a climate which ,
latitude for latitude , Is n bit colder
than hero. Dr. Tucker lives at the
latitude of Richmond , Va. , but the cli
mate is almost that of Norfolk , with
out quite HO much snow and without
quite such intense cold. The coldest
it gels is < ; below zero , with 105 in
the shade In summer.
Coal is n luxury enjoyed only by the
rich and the ordinary Chinese have no
fires even In the most severe weather.
They "grin and bear it. "
Modern Ideas are getting Into China.
Western athletics are breaking into
the colleges , displacing the old-time
mantle of dignity. There will never
bo another Boxer rebellion , because
sentiment has changed. There will
be small disturbances , but nothing
like the Hoxer business.
They Live On Millet.
The ordinary Chinese get six and
seven cents a day for wages. Millet
seed forms n largo part of their food.
Rico is more of a luxury. Millet seed
Is used a good deal as wo use corn
meal.
Corn and wheat are raised , but in
poor yields. The'rotation of crops is-
well understood and the Chinese fer
tilize their lands well. Nobody lives
on farms. They live In villages , which
are as close together as our farms.
One acre is considered enough to sup
port one person u year.
Some parts , of China have 2,200 people
ple to the square mile. It is the most
densely populated country on the
globe , much more densely populated
than Uolglnm , the next In this respect.
Dr. Tucker says that no queues have
been removed in China. The removal
of the queue amounts to social ostra
cism. For a Chinaman to approach
one with his queue high on his head ,
is a mark of disrespect. No accurate
census has ever been taken or can be
taken In China. The population Is es
timated at 375,000,000.
Dr : Tucker graduated from the Uni
versity of Michigan and later , in 1901 ,
from Rush Medical college. In 1902
he and Mrs. Tucker went to China as
missionaries sent by the American
board.
"The First Congregational cliurch
of Norfolk is the mother of Congrega
tional churches In the northwest.
When this church was organized there
was no Congregational church west of
it to the Pacific or north of It to the
north pole. " This was the declaration
of Rev. Edwin Booth , pastor of the
Congregational church of this city , in
the opening session of the Nebraska
Congregational conference.
The biggest man nt the conference
Is Dr. Ozora S. Davis , president of
Chicago Theological seminary. Dr.
Davis was recently called to Chicago
from the pastorate of the largest Con
gregational church in Now England.
Ho Is recognized ns one of the leaders
of his denomination. Ho has charge
of the devotional hour each morning
from 10 to It , and Is giving a series
of studies on the epistles of John. Dr.
Davis says the writings of John are as
interesting , as fascinating , ns power
ful In climax and with as delicate lit
erary shading as the plays of Shakes
peare.

MACVfAGH SPEAKS FOR TAFT
Secretary of Treasury Appeals for a
Republican Victory.
Toledo , O. , Nov. It. As the twla ; is
bent in 1910 the tree will be inclined
in 1912 , declared Secretary of the
Treasury MaeVcagh here last night
in an address in which he urged Onlo
republicans' to keep In power the re
publican party , "the most powerful po
litical organization of progress exist
ing today in any nation of the world , "
and to endorse William II. Tnft , 'al
ready laden with practical and per
manent triumphs and not In any de
gree near the end of his broad and
wise plans and purposes of public use
fulness. '
Acknowledging fear of possible defeat -
feat for the republican party in the
coming elections , Mr. MncYcngh said
that the "demand of the time , there
fore , so far as wo republicans are
concerned , is that we shall each and
all 'sit up nights' to think out ways
to secure the triumph of the party
and to think out ways of keeping It
In power.
"The country needs it , " he contin
ued , "and every legitimate Interest in
the country needs it ; and , now that
we have become a real world power ,
the world needs It. It is our duly
to our party to minimize our differ
ences. "
Mr. MncYcngh declared that ' "the
election In Ohio in 1910 , and in all
other stales , but for obvious reasons
in Ohio particularly , Involves with
great distinctness the election of
1912. "
Though expressing full confidence
in the power of the republican party
to win In 1912 oven if It should meet
reverses this year , saying that "high
vitality such as exists In the republi
can party of today cannot bo destroy
ed by one or more than one defeat
thnt Is meaningless and senseless , " lu
urged his hearers to do their best for
parly victory , "to think of tlio people
and their interests and not of our
selves and our political indigestions
and bad tempers.
"Ever since 189C , this party has
not only been the governmental hope
of the nation but It has been a con
stantly developing and practical au
thor of great national development.
These thirteen years of republican ad
ministration constitute the greatest
period of party usefulness that 1m ?
marked the history of this party-gov
ernccl nation. Wo can never under
stand the handling of the tariff is
sue by the republican party or by
the president , " said Mr. MacVengh ,
"unless wo can lake a comprehensive
view of how remarkably the general
movement has boon carried forward
and of' where It has readied In itfi
present development.
"Tho Payne tariff law Is tlio Ilrst
legislative act In the progress of the
actual revision of the tariff. Presi
dent Taft Is the leader of this move-
nient for tariff revision. Ho Is noi
only the lender hut ho Is the success
fill loader. He nationalized and made
the movement posslblo In precisely
the sense In wlilch President Iloobe
volt nationalized and made possible
the cause of conservation. "
In regard to conservation the speak
er said It Is one of the tilings that the
president has nearest to his mind and
one to which ho has given ns mucb
attention as to any of the great poll
for which lie stands.
As to the increased cost of living
ho said there was nothing In recent

Defends Dnhlmnn's Being Drunk.
Jacob Ilauck of Omaha addressed a
largo audience of Nm folk Cerman-
Ameileans in tiio Gcrmniiln hall here
Wednesday evening. .Mr. Hauck'n en
tire address dealt with the county op
tion proposition which he condemned
from stait to finish. He spoke entire
ly In Cerman and , like .lnios ; : C. IJahl-
man , ho declared that county option
was nothing moro than county prohibi
tion which ho doclaiod not only
brought evil but that it did not pro
hibit the sale of liquor , lie cited many
Instances in a prohibition territory
where liquor was sold in southing
syrup bottles and could be procured
easily. Hut , lie declared , "tho quality
of the liquor was very bad. To have
prohibition or county option is lo lake
away our freedom and scatter our
mother language to the winds. If we
still want to retain our ( ionium lan
guage and freedom in this country wo
cannot have county option or prohibi
tion which surely the former will
bring.
"They charge .lamps C. Daiilman
with having been drunk at n celebra
tion in Sionx City some time ago. We
Germans know thai many good men
have felt happy enough to sing and
make a jollification tit celebrations and
it tile same time have their duties well
performed. I have known Daiilman
for many years. I have never known
him to break his word or tell a lie.
Manslaughter "Common" Those Days :
They also charge him with killing a
man. lie thought at one time lie had
( Hied his man but tills was nol the
case. The man , who was a rough cow-
ioy , recovered from nls injuries. In
( hose days the killing of a man was
an ordinary thing- . This country was
i wilderness full of cowboys who wore
not afraid of anyone and James C.
Dahlman was one of these men. "
Mr. Hnnck sided with Mr. Daiilman
nil through the many charges against
the Omaha mayor and made many rep
etitions of tie | alleged evil of the
county option law. Ho declared that
should a crime ho committed in a sn-
eon , the saloonkeeper ought to pay for
ill proceedings to a settlement. The
farmer pays none of the costs of these
proceedings. Ilo did not believe the
'armor should have the power to vote
whether a town should have saloons or
not , thereby taking all power from the
town or city.
Slights Mr. Bnrnhart.
Mr. Hauck.s audience was an appre
ciative one and his many witty stories
which lie mingled with Ids appo.il
against county option were received
with enthusiastic applause. The Om
aha German praised every cnncildato
on the democratic ticket all ; ho w.iy
lown to the county commissioner , ex
cept that ho ommlttud to mention the
candidate for county attorney on eith
er democratic or republican side.

with tiio now reform sul'frngolto who

declared the forbidden fruit , was tlio

a female worker who ho declared was

to by their father wbilo she was out

BANK ROBBERS I'O'.LED.
Dakota Cashier's Formaldehyde
Scheme Works Successfully.
Mllbank , S. D. , Nov. II. Hnnk rob
bers were defeated in their plans to
rob the Slate bank at Corona , nine
miles north of Mllbank , early yester
day , by a dose of formaldehyde. Cash
ier Clark of the bank some years ago
figured that if some fluid cc. . dd bo
used against yegginon a great battle
toward the safekeeping of money
would be won. Ho placed one bottle
of formaldehyde between the .doors
of the vault and another on a small
safe. The robbers blew the door of
the vault off and the bottle of formln-
dehydo was smashed. HH fumes pro-
.vented them from continuing their ef
forts. The robbers made their es
cape to Milbank on n handcar. The
building was badly wrecked.
