For the last fifteen years he had been
an invalid, and for several years had
been at the Soldiers' home, Grand Island,
and had been removed from there only
the Saturday previous to his death. He
did not eat anything the last few days,
and his death was like calmly and peace

llereavee Gleasea!
The many friends and acquaintances
were shocked to hear of the sudden
death of Miss Florence Gleason, last
Tuesday night from diabetes. Miss
Gleason had not been well for a long
time but had not thought of any serious
results from her troubles. Saturday
week she was taken sick but still did
not think of calling in a physician until
Monday, but it was then too late to do
any more than to relieve pain, and the
spirit returned to its Maker at 11 o'clock,
Tuesday night.
Miss Gleason would have been 23
years old in December.
She came with her parents from Heath,
Mass., to this city in 1885, since whioh
time she has been one of the leading
musicians of our town.
The past few years she had devoted
all her time to music, and had, through
her superior talent and ambition, ac
complished what few people could, with
equal advantages.
The winter of 93 Miss Gleason spent
five months in Chicago, studying voice
and piano culture. Later, she studied
nine months in Denver and the past
two years she has spent five months of
the year in New York, studying with
Lambert, one of the best music teachers
of America. Her teacher, together with
all her friends, had justly planned a
brilliant future for her.
On Oct 5th she gave a song recital,
playing her own accompaniments, half
the .proceeds being given to the church
for the organ fund. She has been a
great help in the Congregational church
with her music, and has given her
services freely and cheerfully. .
The funeral services were held from
the home residence in the west part of
the city, Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Mrs. Geer played Beethoven's Funeral
march, which was foUowed by Rev.
Rogers reading the 14th chapter of John,
and by prayer, when Mrs. Geer played
Chopin's Funeral march. The pall bear
ers were among her friends, Misses
Sheldon, Becker, Luth, Patrick, Beer
bower and Galley, assisted by Messrs.

no reason why Ora Shannon should not
be elected assessor for Columbus. He
is thoroughly well acquainted with the
duties of the office, knows all the people,

St Joseph, Missouri, is contending
against an epidemic of diphtheria, there
having been nineteen deaths by the dis
ease in October. Several physicians of
the city have given as their opinion that
it comes mostly from the sewers of the
city. One physician notes a case of a
woman sixty years old who now has a
bad case of diphtheria, not contracted
by contagion, but from the sink in the
kitchen, which she found covered with a
white mold when she returned home a
few days sgo.
The tariff is virtually settled for the
duration of the present administration
at least, and doubtless longer, but there
are many questions to grow out of the
war with' Spain, and it would be a Bhame
and a disgrace for the American people
to send to Washington congressmen
and senators who would reverse the ac
tion of the administration, or place seri
ous obstructions in their way, and we
do not believe that the people intend
any such thing. It is well to take no
chances. Vote for Norris for congress;
for TannahiU, Olson and Murphy for
tha state assembly, and you will have
dona yoar duty in helping sustain the
adsuBistratioa of President McKinley
in securing tha victories of the war.

Mrs. L. A. OocksoB has received tha
following letter from her son, a SBNaber
of Go. K First Nebraska:
Dsab Fathbb, Mothbb xxd all at
bomb: We are atill ia Manila, and it
looks as if wa should be here for some
time to coma, 'for should tha United
States decide to bold the Philippine, we
shall probably have to serve oat our
enlistment here as it will take a large
force to keep tha aativas ia order; 20,000
mea will be Beaded, aad wa have only
15,000 here aow.
Tha aatives are lacy, igaoraat aad
treacherous, aad are ao aaora capable of
aelf-govaraBMat thaa a drove of hogs.
I expect we shall have to fight them in
a few days aa 35,000 of them surround
the city.
We have had some trouble with them
already. They wanted to enter the city
when we did aad loot the town and
murder tha Spanish inhabitants, but
Genera Merrit would allow none of
them into tha city unless they loft their
arms outside.
I expect we shall have to kill a few
thousand to bring them to their senses;
12,000 are armed with guns and 23,000
with knives, darts and clubs.
Our regiment is quartered at the dock.
Colonel Colton of David City is collector
of customs and we patrole the docks and
beach night and day to catch smugglers,
and the natives are inveterate smugglers,
aad we catch a good many.
I don't consider this a healthful
cliaaato aa there are about one-third of
the army here laid up with dysentery
and there have been some deaths from it
The slightest scratch often turns to a
large sore, and some of the men have
lost a leg or an arm from mosquito bites
that took bad ways. I think a long stay
here would undermine any but an iron
constitution.
The coolest water to be had is milk
warm, and artificial ice costs 20 cents per
pound. Warm beer is 10 cents per small
glass and cold beer 20 cents. Wines and
spirits are no dearer than in the United
States, but it is dangerous to drink any
thing so heating in the torrid zone.
Some things are very dear here and
some are very cheap. Eggs are 5ceuts
each, chickens $1.00 each, fresh pork 25
cents per pound, fresh beef the same
price, small loaves no larger than a light
biscuit are 10 cents each. Good tea is 20
cents per pound, milk 20 cents per pint.
Rioe and silk goods are cheap. Shoes are
about the same price as in the United
States. All the clothing worn here is of
cotton, or linen and that is about the
same price as at home. Labor is very
cheap and is mostly Chinese. They are
paid about 25 cents per day.
I have a better opinion of the Chinese
since I came to this country, as they are
sober and industrious, but are cuffed and
kicked by both Spaniards and natives. I
prefer them to the natives, ss the latter
are, with a few exceptions, lazy, drunken
loafers. The Simon pure native is no
good except to fight roosters and stir up
a fuss, and is aa treacherous as Satan.
The best class of native is the Chinese
Mestizo, the offspring of Chinese father
and native mother, and are larger, lighter
colored and better civilized. All the
skilled work is done by this class and
some of them are very smart and indus
trious. Many of them are shopkeepers
and 'tradesmen, and some of them are
quite wealthy. The Spanish Mestizo (a
half-breed Spanish and native) is smart
and well educated, but lazy and arro
gant; most of them have been petty
officials of the Spanish government and
made their living by robbing and abus
ing natives and Chinese.
I had a little fun a few days ago while
out on the beach in charge of a patrol
watching for smugglers. A Spanish
Mestizo was trying to smuggle a boat
load of stuff into the city. I took him in
charge to the custom house, after taking
a memoranda of his goods. After he had
paid the duty and got permission to land
them he got several Chinese coolies to
help him to unload the boat One of
them was trying to lift a large box that
was too heavy for him, and instead of
helping the Chinaman lift the box the
Mestizo struck him several hard blows
and knocked the coolie down. I thought
I would now take a hand in the matter
and gave the Mestizo a couple of kicks
that lifted him four feet high. Yon
never saw more surprised look on a
man's face in your life. He seemed to
think he had a perfect right to kick the
Chinaman and never thought of helping
to lift the box until I made a move to
boot him a second time, and pointed to
the box and then he gave the Chinaman
a helping hand in a hurry. After he had
gone the poor coolie went into town and
bought me a large cocoa-nut which must
have taken half his day's wages. The
Chinese are very harmless and never
dare resent a blow, and they get a good
many. Our soldiers are getting tired of
seeing them abused and slap a native
every once in a while for ill-treating
them.
The Spanish soldiers are well treated
and have the freedom of the city, the
officers retaining their swords. Many
want to go to the United States as they
seem favorably impressed by the treat
ment they have received at the hands of
Americans.
The day we took the city, the first
provisions brought in went to the Span
ish prisoners, although some of our men
had had nothing to eat for thirty-six
hours. Our company bought their own
meals, as the menbringing rations from
camp had been on duty for twenty-four
hours before taking the city and gave out
before getting the rations here as every
thing had to be carried on their shoul
ders, the mud two feet deep and the camp
three miles from Manila.
You will have to pay the postage on
this, sa we have not had any pay since
wa left San Francisco sad every one in
the company is bankrupt, having spent
their money for canned goods to take on
board ship aad for food when we were
short of rations, after coming on the
island. They are getting things in good
ahaoe now for issuing rations and we
fare batter. Weexpect togetourpayin
a week or so. I am pretty well. Love
to all at hosae aad regards to aU friends.
Your affectionate son,
C J. Cockson.

Miss Mary E. McGath, sister of Mrs.
G. A. Scott, and Mr. Joseph H. Dawson
of Kansas City, were married in the par
lors of the Clother house at 2 o'clock
Thursday last, Rev. RE.L Hayes offi
ciating. The rooms were well filled with
relatives of both parties. After the
ceremony the guests were served a
splendid dinner in the dining room.
Mr. Dawson is traveling auditor for
the Wells Fargo Express company, with
headquarters in Kansas City. He has
three brothers living in this county.
Miss McGath was for a number of
years a teacher in our schools, part of
the time principal of the Third ward.
She is a lady in the true sense of the
word, refined, gentle in manner, sympa
thetic, a true friend and a good home
companion.
The couple have the best wishes of
their friends. They left in the afternoon
for Omaha, where they will visit before
going to their home in Kansas City.

The address of Hon. M. L. Hayward
at the opera house Tuesday evening of
last week was a treat to those present,
evidencing to republicans that the men
of the present generation of the Grand
Old Party are just as equal to the emer
gencies of its existence and its usefulness,
as were those of former times.
The ground work of the Judge's speech
was that all American citizens are pat
riotic, but differ as to their opinions of
the best way to secure the welfare of the
country; disagree in regard to the
method of administering the affairs of
the government; are more or lees sus
ceptible to the wiles and machinations
of designing demsgogues. ,
Our state officials do not create pros
perity for the commonwealth. At the
best, their functions are the safe-keeping
and the disposal according to law of the
moneys entrusted to their care, and the
proper discharge of the administrative
duties confided to them.
Men deserve no special praise for
being honest; that, they ought to be, as
a matter of course. Honesty or dis
honesty is not a fixed quality of party
politics.
No party had ever been so strong in
denunciation of its derelicts, or so swift
in their punishment as the republicans
of Nebraska, and the fusion office-holders
that are claiming all or most of the hon
esty of administration to be on their
side, and the opposite on the part of
republicans, are simply chargeable with
an effort to mislead the voters of Ne
braska who know better.
The judge read a partial list of default
ing populist officials. Ten of these sum
up 3146,000 and include ten treasurers
of different counties of Nebraska who
have gone short
The people of Nebraska are not to be
deceived by any such tactics. ,
He gave samples of the juggling with
figures of the reform candidates for state
offices in their published campaign cards,
and showed how they manipulated the
figures to "lie like a tombstone."
According to their own figures, there
was in the hands of the republican state
treasurer, November 30,1896, permanent
school faade as follows: $3,181,751 ia
investments, and $447,087 in cash, a total
of $3,631,788; and oa May 13, 1898, there
was as follows in the bands of the fusion
state, treasurer: Invested $360,843,
eash $4574, makings total of $3,606,117,
which, sabstracted from the other, shows
a decrease of $25,67L
The permanent school fund cannot be
decreased except by theft hut here the

ed this fund held sacred te the schools
nearly twenty-six thousand dollars.
The Judge did not charge that this
amouat had beea atolea by these people,
bat like a good maay of their other
figures, they were wrong.
We oaly aim to give aa iatimatioa of
the Jadge'a speech. To be appreciated
at its fall worth, it should have beea
heard. Ha is so evidently fair to even
political opponents; so clear ia layiag
down his propositions and establishing
them; so comprehensive in his grasp of
current political events, that it ia aa
intellectual treat to hear him.
His ferveat atteraaoes ia regard to
the national problems looausg ap for
settlement in the very near future struck
a responsive cord in the hearts of the
audience, and led them to believe that
the Judge will make a most excellent
governor of the great state of Nebraska.
G. R. Williams, the fanner of Elk City
who is the republican state caadidate
for land commissioner, made a favorable
impressioa before the audience, but,
owing to the lateness of the hoar, did
not extend his remarks.
