Republican party motto of 1896, from

The republican party believes in ag-r-'riculturo,

The future of the United States is
briffbt with hope. Base every act of
the nation .upon the sure and solid foun
dation of right; and those peoples that
are endeavoring to rise from conditions
of oppreeion, ignorance and degradation
will look to this country for encourage
ment, for help, and for reciprocal com
mercial relations. Mutual benefit has
always been the rule of action animat

enlarged opportunities, there is every

The school system of Nebraska is too
important an institution to be placed in
the hands of an incompetent man. The
future of the state is being moulded
daily in the school room, and the Super
intendent of Public Instructions must
be possessed of two qualifications.
First, he must be an educator himself.
Second, he must be possessed of execu
tive ability to enable him to so conduct
educational affairs of the state as to
make the school system what it should
be, viz, the corner stone of the state.
That J. F. Saylor, the republican candi
date, possesses these two qualifications
in the highest degree is not to be ques
tioned. Vote for him and you can rest
assured that the schools of Nebraska
will be placed in good hands. Falls

It is good to know that men have not
lost their reason or their reasonableness,
because often they make such fools of
thnmwdvea. esneciallv in nolitics. At
the Saratoga conference the other day
some eastenTdelegate made a statement
reflecting on the conduct of tho war.
Immediately, E. H. Bacon of Georgia, a
prominent democrat, sprang to his feet
and said: "I fought in the rebel army,
and I never scratched the democratic
ticket in my life, but I would feel that I
had been a coward and afraid of my
duty if I failed to resent that imputation
against the administration of President
McKinley. This is not the time nor the
place for any such insinuation as the
gentleman has uttered. Although I
was a rebel and am a Democrat, I want
to express my entire satisfaction with
the courageous and wholly just and
sensible manner in which President
McKinley has conducted this war, and I
want to add that it is not only my per
sonal conviction. The entire South
feels as I do. I live with the people of
the South, and I know."
They Nominated Hollenbeck.
The democrats and populists of the
Sixth judicial district met in delegate
conventions in this city last Wednes
day, the democratic delegates at the
court house, the populists at tho fife
men's hall, and held an all-night session,
a nomination not being reached until
half past five Thursday morning.
The democratic convention was or
ganized temporarily by electing Hens
ley of Platte for chairman and Winter
stein of Dodge secretary.
The committee on credentials was
Speice of Platte, Thompson of Nance,
Smails of Dodge, Sparks of Merrick and
Doughty of Colfax.
Van Horn was elected chairman and
Blake secretary.
A committee of conference was ap
pointed who were to inform the popu
lists that the right to name a democrat
would be claimed. The committee
were: Hollenbeck, Sparks, Cuba, Greun
ther and Thompson.
The committee agreed to rules adopt
ed by the state conventions.
Balloting then began, the result of
each ballot being sent to the populist
convention, and their action awaited.

Later along Gondring received all the
votes, except Nance county, instructed
for Albert, the populists all the while
sending back 20 for Albert, 13 for Sparks .
Later along Thomas was nominated
by the democrats.
Then Sparks was unanimously named
by the democrats, but the populists re
turned 20 for Albert, 13 for Thomas.
Judge Albert withdrew from the race
and shortly afterward, Mr. Hollenbeck
was nominated by both conventions.

pines to Prevent Knropeaa War.
Manila, Sept. 13. Rear Admiral
Dewey says he considers 'the situation
critical. It is understood that he has
asked for an additional cruiser and bat
tleship. The Spaniards' assert that German
will take a coal station here and that
Spain will retain the remainder of the
islands.
The last Spanish garrisons at Hicos
and Ligune have surrendered and the
whole island of Luzon is in the hands of
.the insurgents at Manila and Cavite.
JAguinaldo went to Lelellcs on Friday.
He has announced-his intention of con
vening an .assembly .of the Filipinos on
Sept. 15, in order to decido upon the pol
icy to be adopted by the insurgents.
The correspondent here of the Asso
ciated Press has had an interview with
Aguinaldo who said there were G7.000
insurgents armed with rifles. He added
he could raise 100,000 men. Indeed, the
insurgent leader pointed out, the whole
population of the Philippine islands was
willing to fight for their independence.
Continuing, Aguinaldo said ho had 9,000
military prisoners, including 5,000 in the
vicinity of Manila, besides civil prison
ers. Later Aguinaldo said the "provi
sional government' was now operating
28 provinces.. He asserted that on
August 2d they elected delegates in
numbers proportionate to the population.
As to the Americans, Aguinaldo re
marked that he considered them as
brothers and. that :the two sovereign
republics were allied against a common
enemy."
The insurgent leader denied having
received a request from General Otis
and Rear Admiral Dewey to withdraw
his troops to a prescribed distance from
Manila and Cavite and he declined to
discuss the effect of such request.
Aguinaldo farther asserted that, he had
never confided with the American au
thorities since the capitulation of Man
ila, and he had never authorized the in
surgents to search or disarm Americans
crossing the lines.
The whole interview conveyed the
impressiod that Aguinaldo desires abso
lute independence, regards the mission
of the Americans here as accomplished
and expects their withdrawal just as
the French with Lafayette withdrew
after helping the Americans in the war
of independence, a war of humanity.
Just now Aguinaldo maintains the
role of extreme friendship. -
Should Keep Philippines.
Washington, Sept. 18. Mr. Charles
Denby, former minister of the United
States to China, arrived here from
Pekin, and in the afternoon paid his re
spects to the president. On leaving the
White house Mr. Denby, in answer to
inquiries, said that in his judgment the
United States should retain perma
nently the possession of all or practic
ally all of the Philippine islands. To
surrender them to Spain would be only
to invite a controversy and possibly a
war among tne European nations for
their possession, and if the United
States is to make effort to secure any
considerable portion of the markets of
the far east, the Philippines would be
of very great advantage to us.
To Avert: Resignation.
London, Sept. 13. The Paris corre
spondent of the Times suggests that the
second of the two cabinet councils held
Monday was called specially to avert the
immediate resignation of General Zur
linden, minister for war, who had re
signed could not have accompanied M.
Faure to the maneuvers. The corre
spondent understands that as M. Sarreu,
minister of justice, has consented to re
consider the Dreyfus "dossier," Gen
eral Zurlindeu will postpone bis resigna
tion until ho returns from the manenv
era. The Paris correspondent of the
Daily News says: President Faure de
clared that it would never do for him to
face the troops at the maneuvers if com
ing from a cabinet council which had
adopted revision.
To Abolish Paying- Commissions.
St. Louis, Sept. 13. At the call of
Chairman Richardson, of the Southeast'
era Passenger association, a mass meet
ing will be held in this city Tuesday,
Sept. 27. The chief subject to be taken,
up that day will be the payment of com
missions to ticket agents. Some of the
lines are in favor of abolishing commis
sions entirely, while others favor the
payment of a small commission. It is
determined in any case to reach an
agreement for the wiping out of excess
ive commissions all over the country.

SATISFACTORY SETTLEMENT.
na War New Battleships Hare
Considerably Amended.
Washington, Sept.. ,l3.-The "navy
department has arrive' at what- it re
gards as a fair and satisfactory: settle
ment of the question of awarding the)
contracts for the costftrootion of. the
three battleships. ' When tho bids were
opened it was found that for -the fast
ships desired the Newport News com
pany was the lowest. Cramps next and
the Union Iron works just above, all
within the limit of cost affixed by the
act of congress. It -was the. original
plan to award the 'contracts in, that
order. But upon examination of .the
plans submitted by the bidders it was .
found that the only thoroughly satis
factory one was that submitted by
Cramp, who had simply taken the alter
nate plans suggested by the navy de
partment, which amounted to lenghten
ing the hull of the ships from 15 to 20
feet, in order to gain room for the more
powerful engines required to drive the '
ship at a speed of 18 1-4 knots, instead j
of 16 knots as first proposed. After con- j
sidering the subject in all aspects, the j
board of naval bureau chiefs has hit ,
upon a -solution of the question. They
have invited the Newport News com- j
pany and the Union Iron works to ,
amehd then plans so as to make their
ships identical with that proposed by
Cramp. Mr. Scott of the California
company, has agreed to do this already
and the representatives of the Newport
News company has verbally agreed to
do the same, so it is the understanding
that each of the companies will be given
a contract for one ship.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 13. As the
result of the general introduction by
General. Wood, military governor of
Santiago de Cuba, of American methods
of conducting municipal affairs, this an
cient and always unhealthy city pre
sents a healthy record today which is
quits extraordinary considering the con
ditions that existed here a month ago.
Under the present system Santiago is
divided into five divisions, under five
physicians, each division having inspec
tors of sewers, streets, houses and dis
pensaries, with a hundred street
cleaners.
Five hundred cubic yards of refuse
are burned daily, disinfectants aro dis
tributed wherever they are needed, and
a heavy fine is imposed for uncleanliness
and failure to report unhealthful condi
tions and death.
Proofs of benefit of the system are
furnished by the decrease in sickness
among the poor. The daily death rate
of 70 a month ago has fallen to 20.
Illness oa the Increase.
, Santiago, Cuba, Sept. 13. Five men
of the Fifth regulars have died since
'their arrival here, 40 percent of the reg
iment being on the sick report from,
malarial fevers. Illness among all the
troops is increasing. Colonei Crane's
immunes are in camp on the banks of
the San Juan river. This has had a
fatal effect.
TO QUIT CAMP WIKOFF.
Oeaeral Miles Orders All Troops Now
There to Other Point.
Camp Wikoft, Sept. 12. Under per
emptory orders from General Miles,
preparations are being made to break up
this camp at once by sending home all
the soldiers here. This is entirely con
trary to what has been the understand
ing of the officers in command. Gen
eral Shaf ter said last week that 6,000 or
7,000 men would be kept here, at least un
til October.and this was supposed to have
been the order of Secretary Alger. An
officer said today that when General
Miles' order came, a telegram was sent
him, saying that his order was contrary
to that of Secretary Alger, and Miles re
plied: "Never mind what Alger says, I
am in command now."
Orders were received from the war
department today ordering two regi
ments of the United States regular
troops away from Camp Wikoff, Mon
tauk. They are the Twelfth infantry,
which is ordered to Jefferson Barracks,
Missouri, and the Twenty -second infan
try, which goes to Fort Crook, Nebraska,
the station it occupied before going to
the war. The Twelfth infantry was
formerly stationed at Fort Niobrara,
Nebraska. It is hoped that all the reg
ular regiments will be away from Mon
tauk by the end of the week.

Jackson, Miss., Sept. 13. The yellow

The panic which struck the city Satur

The entire representation of the body is

crease in the membership throughout
the United States last year of over 12,
000; The finances of the order, too, are
in a flourishing condition. The books
Bhow a credit of over $250,000. The
question of excluding saloon men from
membership in tne oraer win come up,
but in all likelihood will be killed. The
repeal of the laws of the order to enable
lodge rooms being held in the same
buildings as saloons urged by the New
York delegation seems likely not to
carry.

Sax Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. 13. The
two evacuation commissions held an
hours' session yesterday and adjourned
untiltoday.. The American com
missioners made' known their position
regarding the evacuation and transfer
of the island, in accordance with their
instructions from Washington. These
instructions they decline to make pub
lic at present, as publicity might lead
to embarrassment in negotiations; but
the Spanish commissioners did not dis
close their positions nor the nature of
their instructions. Manifestly,- how
ever, wilungnsss to secure as much ex
pedition as possible and our commis-.
sioners are satisfied with the way which
their demands have been informally re
ceived. The adjournment gives the
Spaniards time to prepare their reply.
When that is concluded issues will be
joined and the situation became clear.
What effect, if any, the appearanco of
yellow fever among the troops at Ponce
will have, is problematical. Should the
fever spread, it would doubtless induce
the American commissioners, to hasten
evacuation to the utmost; but as yet
there is not the slightest reason to ex
pect an epidemic
General Brooke says two cases have
been reported to him and ono death.
As soon as he learned of this he caused
all suspects to be isolated with a view
of preventing the spread of the infec
tion. It is believed that tho cases orig
inated in the Spanish prison at Siboney.
The report of a hurricane at tho island
of Barbadoes has delayed the sailing of
the Spanish warships for Spain. All
our ships at this station are safe in the
harbors. Tho monitors are at Guanica,
and the Cincinnati and New Orleans
are here.
Six naval cadets who were on board
the Cincinnati are to be sent to Annap--
olis by the Seneca, which sails on Tues
day with the signal corps men who are
to be mustered out. General Henry's
report made to General Brooke yester
day on the condition of the troops on
the south side of the island shows there
are 1,558 sick out of a total 11,000, the
highest percentage yet reported. Al
though the percentage of sick is high,
generally, a large proportion of the cases
are not serious and the death rate is
low.

KILLED IN A DENVKIt HOTEL.
Clevrland Mas or Family Shot by a Piiwo
late Woman.
The following concerning a man who
was well known here during the early
seventies, is from a telegram to the Lin
coln Journal, under date of Denver,
September 9.
Mr. Lawrance was married here, and
visited here about two years ago:
D W. H. Lawrence of Cleveland, O., was
shot and probably mortally wounded in
a room at the Oxford hotel this after
noon by a woman known hero only
as Florence Richardson. The woman
then shot herself hi the heart, dying al
most instantly. The couple had regist
ered at the Oxford hotel, about half an
hour before tho tragedy occurred, as H.
G. Rockwell and wife of Greely, Colo.
The motive for the shooting is not
known.
In their trunk was an express receipt
in tho name of Florence Montague.
She was about twenty-four years of age,
and is said to havo been very dissolute
and addicted to morphine. It is known
that her mother lives in Minneapolis.
Mr. Lawrenco is a brother of M. J.
Lawrence, president of tho Ohio Farmer
Publishing company of Cleveland, O.
Ho is about forty-five years old and has
a wife and several children in Cleveland.
Denver, Sept. 10. W. H. Lawrence
of Cleveland, O., who was shot yesterday
by Florence Richardson, alias 'Florence
Montague, is still nlive, but the physi
cians in attendance npon him at St.
Luke's hospital regard his condition as
critical. The bullet penetrated his left
lung and inflicted other internal injuries.
It appeara before tho woman shot him
he had refused to givo her U!ro money
and had told her that he was going to
leave her. It is understood that tiie
woman's mother is living in Albion, or
Alpena, Mich. Lincoln Journal.
It appears from a published state
ment purporting to come from M. H.
Lawrence of the. Ohio Farmer, that W.
H. has not lieen connected with tho
paper for four yea re; that he lins a large
income and is wealthy: that on account
of ill health, he has spent his summers
in Denver, his winters in Texas; that he
has a wife and five children, who live in
Cleveland.
