The Louisville Courier-Journal which time out of mind almost had been an organ of democracy, has so greatly en joyed its recent freedom from party hackles that it does not purpose going back to the old way.

Most of them have suffered from malarial fever, but have now quite recovered. The Olympia has been quarantined, no direct communication with the shore being allowed. Conae anentlv the representative here of the Associated Press was only able to con verse with the admiral from a launch alongside the cruiser. After passing through the canal the Olympia will call at Trieste. Thereafter the admiral's plans are uncertain. Possibly he will go to Gibraltar and thence to New York. The Olympia entered the canal the same day. How They Xeeounted. Ex-Watchman Simon's account of the modus operandi of .the state house pops in their plot to count in two mem bers of the supreme court two years ago by falsifying'the returns of the vote on the constitutional amendment shows that owing to their precaution in ex cluding all republicans whether mem bers of the legislature or reporters, from the room where the socalled "re count" was going on, the proceedings were exceedingly coarse, the frauds be ing put in a very primitive and clumsy way. The contingency that arose when by carelessness the counters had reported more votes in Dodge county for the amendment than there were voters on the poll lists, caused so much embarrass ment that some of the conspirators went to Governor Holcomb for suggestions how to fix things so that the discrep ancy could be hidden. The governor however refused to assist claiming that he was to "know nothing about the account." So they had to leave the governor in comparative ignorance of the details of the fine work that was going on in con formity with the decision of the counci of war held in his office in which he par ticipated. However, Oil Inspector Edminsten was not so prudish and his advice ap pears to have been ready at any time it was wanted when the counters had in volved themselves in a tangle of foolish ness by their prodigality of fraudulent votes. It will be remembered ;tbat the con spiracy was frustrated by the appeal of ex-Deputy Auditor Hedlund who was put on as an assistant counter under the supposition that he would be blind and silent because of his employment in the auditor's office. He went to the governor and told him of the frauds. The governor immediately discharged him from the counting board, but the revelation so intimidated the rascals that they had to stop stuffing the ballot box then and there and the result was that they only changed half enough votes in the state to "carry the amend ment" Had it not been forHedlund's protest there is little doubt that they would have bulled the scheme, through but probably it would have landed the operators in the pen. Lincoln Journal. G0VERH0B GETS HUC FBEE. Sentence or Ole Anderson, Convicted or Wire Marder March 31, 1887, is Conmnted. Governor Foynter has evidenced some lines of character that he was not gen erally known to possess, but the follow ing special telegram to the Bee from Ainsworth, Nebraska, shows a phase that is the most reprehensible of any. Why should Nebraska have elected such a governor? County Clerk Smith has received offi cial notification of the commutation of the sentence of Ole Anderson from im prisonment for life to fifteen years, one month and eight days, which with good time released him from prison on the 4th of this month. The history of the case is as follows: On the 31st day of March, 1887, Ole An derson, living in the southeast part of what was then Brown county, but later partitioned off as Bock county, was ar rested for the murder of his wife which occurred a few days previous. He was tried and on the 20th day of February, 1889, after nearly two years had passed, was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. His sentence was afterward commuted to imprisonment for life. The murder was most foul, Anderson braining his wife with a bucket and af terwards hiding the body in an old well where it was found. On the 3d of this month Governor Poynter "for good and sufficient reasons" commuted the sen tence as above, making Anderson a free man. There is a good deal of dissatis faction over the governor's action and it will be widespread when it becomes more generally known. No intimation was given our people so far as known, that any effort was being made to par don Anderson and the news will come as a shock to our justice-loving people who feel that such work is a bid for the court of Judge Lynch to sit in judgment hereafter. Fbank LepiiEY, a Bohemian farmer of Bamshorn township, Stanton county, slew his wife Tuesday of last week with a hammer, beating her brains out, and leaving the mangled body lying in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. He then put on his best suit of clothes, went out of doors and ended his life with a dose of poison, the body being found about 300 yards from the house. He left a note saying he wanted a nice funeral and a monument The couple had lived together peacefully, so far as was known to the public. It seems that for some time, he had been having trouble with his -wife over some land that they owned and on which they lived. The wife wanted to divide the land among the children of whom'they had three, but the husband and father insisted on giving all the land to their only son, Joseph. The old man, it seems, had' deliberately planned the murder of his wife hnd the destruction of himself. The two bodies were buried in the Clarkson cemetery. It is well known that a slate has been prepared, that upon that slate the name of Silas A. Holcomb is set opposite the supreme judgeship, but slates have been broken before now, 'and justice and good politics demand that this one be broken. Poynter will be renominated. Allen will be the fusion candidate for senator; Neville will doubtless be the congressional candidate in the Sixth district and yet there are a few porcine bipeds who want us to give the judge ship to Holcomb. Are the democrats of Nebraska to be made monkeys of for ever and compelled to pnll populistic chestnuts out of the fire, receiving as a reward the consciousness of having voted against the republicans and the entartainment of watching the popu lists eat pie? That seems to be the pro gram, bat there are fairmindsd popu lists as well as democrats who will in sist upon having it changed. Platts- mouth Journal (dem.) Vast clouds of grasshoppers alighted Thursday on the fields in the vicinity of Bolla. N. D., from tha Turtle mountain region. M TnUBTXKK deaths from lockjaw in New York and vicinity, since July 4, in every instance the disease being due to pistol wounds received during the Fourth of July celebration. At Chicago on the 12th there were six prostrations by heat, one of them being fatal. The thermometer was not. over 90 at any time, but the great humidity made the temperature very oppressive, so the papers say. Admiral Ckkvera, who commanded the fleet that went down under Schley's hammering, has had a trial by court martial for alleged blunders and has been acquitted. We believe this is but simple justice to a brave man who did his full duty to his country. There isn't an intelligent American but will be glad to hear of this result The executive committee of the expo sition has been reorganized, and the project will doubtless go forward more harmoniously than it has for some time. Messrs. Nash and Clubaugh, the added members, will restore confidence. The directors authorized the managers to borrow $25,000 and proceed to fill up the gaps in the exhibit buildings and procure the very best attractions. A sox and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacoptiz were drowned in the Cotton wood near Boseland Tuesday of last week. They were seven and nine years old, and had been sent from the corn field, where their parents were plowing corn, to the house for fresh water. The day was so hot and the water probably looked so refreshing that they couldn't resist the temptation of going into it ssaaBjafaaai v. In another place in today's Jourxatj, we give under the caption "How They Recounted," a very plain statement of one of the crooked things done by pop ulist officials, who got into office under the plea that the state administration needed "reform." The samples that have been dug up by the senate com mittee are very fair samples of what may be expected, from the quality of men that have pushed themselves to the front "for reform." Db. RJ. Cuktiss of Joliet, 111., an eminent authority and writer on bacter iology, calls upon Andrew Carnegie to show his loyalty to the human race, by donating $50,000,000 to the establish ment of a university in Chicago for the teaching of hygiene and its collateral sciences, believing that by properly con ducting a school, the average age of man could be placed at 1,000 years. His reasoning is that diseases and death result from parasitism; that parasites could be destroyed and thus life length ened. Kentucky BeamMica&im. "The republican party may not id ways have been right The democratic party may not have always been wrong, but the republican party has always been right at the right time and the democratic party has usually been right at the wrong time, and always wrong at the right time. In 1892 they said give us free trade to make prices cheap; in 1890 they said give us free silver to make prices high; in 1899 they say give us a Goebel election law to make a democratic election possible. "Any one who has observed the affairs of men and nations must see that the republican party in Kentucky and in the nation stands today better vindicated than it ever has stood. It is the party of the people, and it is the party to which the people look for deliverance and for guidance in days of peril." As to Water Sip fly. It is a matter of wisdom for communi ties as for individuals to profit by the experience of others, similarly situated. A goodly sum of money has been mis spent in Nebraska, getting a water Bup ply, and wherever anything like perfec tion has been attained, we are all more or less interested in knowing how it was done. In the Norfolk News of the 13th we find the following, but we wish the News would describe the well: Con nections were today made with the new well at the waterworks pumping station and fresh water from the bosom of mother earth is now circulating through the arteries of the Norfolk waterworks system. This more than doubles the water-supply capacity of the system and there is now no danger of a water fam ine in time of need.. The water was at first -somewhat riley, but is now as clear as crystal The new well adds 133 J per cent to the capacity or 83 per cent more than the two old wells combined. The stand pipe was filled this morning in the remarkably short time of two hours and a half, the pumps having all the water they could handle for the first time since the pumping station has been established. We remember some of our neighbors use to have trouble with the water sup ply, being able to draw only a few gal lons in an hour, then having to wait un til the "reservoir" would fill again. We den't know of anybody now in this region of country that is bothered in this way, and we believe it is due to the fact that the wells are now put down into that stratum of gravel, which every where in Nebraska is supposed always to contain water an unfailing, practically inex haustible supply. Cities and towns seem to be duplicating the former ex perience of individuals, and will probably continue' to have trouble until they hit upon some effective way of providing an adequate reservoir for supply to be had ''down deep." COMCHWIWe WE S0LPIE8S. Under date of May 17, Cspt Kalian writes a letter to The JoVkmal editor, from which we quote: Enclosed I send yon cop; of resolu tions passed by the officers of our regi ment on the death of three officers killed in battle.

He was cool,' collected, very careful and always obeyed com mands, always did the right thing at the right time. At the time he was killed I commanded the firing line. We had bix companies K, M, I, B, D and H, none of which bad over twenty-five men on the line. We fought between 500 to 700 insurgents, all armed with Mausers and well entrenched. We were lying in the hot sun for neariy three hours, under very heavy, continuous fire before ve charged them, going over an open field for five to six hundred yards. Up to that day Co.

Is., May 17, 99. Whereras, The fearless and brave Commander of the First Nebraska In fantry, U. S. -Volunteers, Colonel John M. Stotsenburg, on the 23d day of April, 1899, was killed in battle at Quinga near Malolos, P. I., and Whereas, In his heroic and self-sacrificing death, the' regiment lost a leader, who by his untiring, zealous and ener getic labors brought it to the highest degree of efficiency. a disciplinarian, an instructor and an example of a model soldier's life, than whom none were better and few equal; therefore be it Resolved, By the officers of the 'regi ment on the field of action, that we mourn his untimely but gallant death, and keep his memory-ever green, bowing in humble submission to Divine Provi dence, whose ways are mysterious and iascrutable. Whereas, Captain Lee Forby, Co. G, First Nebraska Infantry, U. S. Vols., on the 29th day of March, 1899, died of wounds received in battle at San Fran cisco del Monte, P. I., and by bis heroic death dedicated his youthful career to progress and civilization, under the flag he loved so well, therefore be it Resolved, By the officers of the regi ment that in him we mourn the loss of a beloved comrade and a true soldier, one whose amiable disposition and cheer ful countenance will ever be remem bered by them. Whereas, Lieutenant Lester E. Sisson of Co. K, First Nebraska Infantry, U. 8. Vols., on the 23d day of April, 1899, was killed in battle at Quinga, near Malolos, P. I., and by his soldierly conduct and military bearing and kind disposition has endeared himself to all who knew him, sacrificing his young life and hope ful future on the altar of patriotism and for love of the flag; therefore be it Resolved, By the officers of the First Nebraska Infantry, U. S. Vols., that we mourn his loss like that of a dear brother, a true, well-tried friend whose memory will never fade, and be it fur ther Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the regimental record and copies be sent to the respective families of the deceased and be published in their home papers. Capt. J. N. Ki&ian, Coni'd'g 2d Battalion, Chairman. L. Wilson, Captain. Ernest- Webxb, First Lieutenant, Secretary. A letter from Frank C. Turner, dated at San Fernando, P. I., May 14, was re ceived here Sunday. He writes a lengthy letter, but mostly personal. Tom Caffrey haa just returned to our cossa (a native house) with eight eggs, bought of a native, who wanted five cents apiece for them, but went off with twenty cents in exchange. Col. Stotseuberg was all right, and when he was killed, the U. S. army lost the best officer, I think, they had on the Island or anywhere else. Some of the boys did not like him on account of his strict discipline, but when he gave a command it was executed. lie was a leader and not a follower. When he gave a command to go forward the First Nebraska went, and they would go through fire and brimstone for "Stotsey" (as we called him). He was always with us, giving bis commands, and bis words of good cheer, which are half of winning a battle. His last - words were: "Go ahead, boys, and never retreat." In - this same battle Lieut Sisson was killed, and I tell you their deaths caused a mighty gloom among the men in the regiment, because they were both brave officers. If J was here, where he could familiarize himself with the true situa tion of affairs as they existed at tho beginning of the Philippine war and at the present time he would change his tune a bit and would think the United States aas doing her full duty. If the U. S. had turned over to Aguinaldo and his followers these Islands when they drove the Spanish out, it would have been the worst thing they could have done, as the different tribes have never agreed on anything, and the result would beacontiual fight among them selves. When Aguinaldo found that he I could not be president and control the whole Islands at once, be immediately started to get possession by force with his army, well equipped with guns and ammunition furnished him by the U. S., but I guess he has come to the conclu sion that he has tackled some pretty tough customers, and 'it will only be a matter of a short time until they will have to put a white flag to the breezes, or else be killed off. We have been on the firing line since February 4, over three months, and have done lots of work, -as our regiment shows one company lined up with only nine men, and all the others are the same, sick, wounded and played out men, and I look to either be relieved from the firing line or sent back to Calumpit to guard the train until we recuperate. The regiment only has about 350 men now that are able for duty, and something will have to be clone. Our train is at Calumpit; the niggers cut a 50-foot span of the bridge out and let down into river and tore up track between here and .there, -and it will have to be repaired before we can advance much farther.- .The nigs are getting very bold they ran their train down to within 800 yards pf our outpost yesterday, and then made their get-away. If they would come out in the open we would stop this war soon, but they won't fight anises they are ia the brash or trenches it is all guerilla warfare, and there is no telling how long it will last Regards to inquiring friends.

A Gaawa Jockey Tod Sloane'e gamenesa will never be questioned by those who saw him win a race on Walter in a nose finish at the old East St Louis track some years ago. After the race Tod was hardly able to dismount Then it was learned that he had broken an arm in the race. It seems that he was crowded against the fence in a jam around one of the tarns and broke his arm. Switching the reins to his good ana, he rode -the race out with great determination, putting up a "GarrieuB finish" and winning on the post by the narrowest possible margin. It was an exhibition of gamenesa the like 'of which was never before heard of in the history of the American turf. Chicago Record. 9ttmiianmunHmtHniitmwmwiaaii Itttttomil ftflil. &wirujimtiiiwHiiitiuuiiiammHtivti The Day at Humphrey. After weeks of advertising that Bryan and "Coin" Harvey would speak at Humphrey, the fusion forces succeeded in getting a large crowd into that thrif- bustling business center a crowd estimated at 3,000 to 0,000. Some re publicans who had never seen or heard Bryan, out of curiosity, were present. Others came to hear Harvey on the sil ver question, but he was not there, and they were disappointed. Humphrey had prepared right royally to entertain their guests for the day; it is safe to say that all who had the money to spend had plenty to eat and drink. A large tent capable of seating some 1,800 people had been erected for the speaking, and a stand in the middle of the street near by for the bands present from Creston, Newman Grove, Colum bus, Petersburg and Lindsay, besides Humphrey, and they added greatly to the enjoyment of the day. All the formalities on such occasions were duly observed. The crowd was generally orderly and good-natured even when the heavy rain seemed for a few minutes to threaten a postponement of the speaking. Nearly everybody had something to say, as: The old ship is leaking now; The platform won't hold water; The democrats were always a wet party but (said a prominent populist) they never were partial to cold water. The rain over, everybody was in good humor, and the program proceeded. K. E. McPhillipe introduced the speakers. W. H. Thompson of Grand Island took as his theme "eternal vigilance is ths price of liberty," but the vigilance intended in this case was evidently to be exercised against the great republi can party, and directed now particularly towards the union of the "allied forces of reform." This was about the first indication of why such great efforts had been made for a big gathering here. More kicking in Platte county among the democrats than in any other part of the state, said a prominent populist of Lincoln. Mr. Thompson enlarged upon his theme and claimed that fusion had brought to the combined forces several of the offices, naming those held by Holcomb, Allen, Maxwell, Robison and Sullivan. The fusion of democrats and populists in Platte and other counties had made it possible for Nebraska to select the battle ground of 1896 and select the weapon with which to fight that battle, and it is now, not what will New York do, nor Pennsylvania, but the eyes or the world are on you or Ne braska. After a few words more tho "Little Giant" as he is called, sat down, and ex Senator Allen rose to view. Ho didn't propose to speak fifteen hours, and plunged at onoe into the middle of the evident design of the meeting; "There must be absolute union, absolute har mony; no distinction between populism and Bryan democracy." In naming over the list of those they had elected, when he got up to Sullivan, he added: "We propose to elect another supreme judge and control the supreme court." Mr. Allen has been a judge himself, so ought to know the full meaning of the word "control," as applied in such case. Mr. Bryan was next to speak, and occupied nearly two hours, going over his subjects, taxation, money, trusts, imperialism and militarism in bis usual manner. He aimed to have the crowd believe that the republican party was about the meanest thing on earth, at the present time, and this administra tion responsible for all the prospective troubles that might possibly come to the country in the near future, having in mind evidently that the proper thing would have been the election of William J. Bryan in 1896,- or next to that his election in 1900. He dwelt largely on union of the three parties; had much to say against goldbug democrats, and declared that he would not give up a single plank of the Chicago platform to have them all come back. There was nothing new or striking in the views presented. He has the same old style of jumbling truths and half truths, and of setting up a man of straw and fighting against that. About everything there is reality and glamour. In matters of long-ago, generally-approved history, Mr. Bryan talks nimbly, but as to present-day, solid, bu siness and history-making, be is in the glamour, which is pretty dense about him, a fatuous light Instead of fol lowing a guiding star, he is chasing an ignis fattius from a political swamp. One illustration out of his speech is sufficient for Journal readers. While be was talking about two foundations for government force upon the gov erned, and consent of the governed, a man near the stage would every now and then yell out approval, and being evidently upder the influence of intoxi cating drink, as well as the glamour of party feeling, the situation was aanoyr ing to the speaker, who said: . "My friend, I know you mean well, but you annoy me, and I prefer to speak now, I without interruption, and then you do all the yelling you wish," or words to that effect JSut a marshal iook hold or the man, and while he was being led out of ,the crowd, he said, "I'll yell for Bryan, if L am in jail." Aguinaldo, on a large scale represents the drunken-man disturbing the meet ing, .and be must be governed even against his own consent, notwithstand ing what Mr. Bryan says. A Tear's Showing W. A.

His conditiob was so very peculiar that after his death an examination was made: "The revelations of the surgeons' knives were simply astounding. There in folds of the stomach and the intestines were imbedded two dozen nails of all sizes, from a tack to a twenty. penny c pike, ten pieces of wire of different sizes and length and two pocket-knife blades. The spike, which was six inches in length, had passed out of the Btomach and lodged crossways in the intestines, causing the latter to adhere to the ab dominal walls, and forming a sort of dam, which prevented the smaller nails and pieces of wire from leaving the stomach. Both the stomach and intes tines were perforated by the nails, the points of pressure from the sharp pieces of iron being in an advanced state of ulceration. Though Davis had told the doctors that he had also eaten some pebbles, none were found. Piatte Center. From tho 8icual. Mrs. Ed Hoare is accompanying her husband on a revenue collecting trip this week. That makes quite a pleas ant diversion. Thomas and D. D. Lynch took a drive over Garfield and several other counties west of here last week and viewed tho landscape o'er. The 5-year-old son of Robert Hum phreys, living eight miles northwest, was badly poisoned by ivy n few days ago. Dr. Pngh took him to Columbus and back Wednesday for treatment and he is now convalescing nicely. The scholars of St. Joseph's school and a goodly number of the congrega tion held a picnic at Maher's grove Tuesday, celebrating the commence ment of vacation. Races of all kinds for cash prizes were competed for with zest, a fat ladies' race being one of them. All report having had a splen did time. The depot was found to be nfiro at the south, end Wednesday shortly after noon. The fire is supposed to have started from a spark from tho noon train and was burning between tho weather boarding and the sheeting. The smoke was pretty thick, but there was not much of a blaze and it was soon extinguished. ivonxA. IwKirtYwtowiUsiTSBBia Cobs . From the Nebraska Fnnr.fr. If land is so foul with weeds that till age is uimcnlt try getting the lieul in grass, and sheep in the field. Sow white clover sparingly in nil kinds of waste places and in all pastures. There are few plants with more good qualities, and which may be seeded so cheaply. Moat people don't like to stop 'har vesting to "bug potatoes," but there are some things which have to be done whether we like it or not, and the time ly application of Paris Green is one of these. You can't take all the fat out of milk, as by machine separation, and have milk fat to feed the young stock. Hence the necessity for feeding a supplemen tary grain fat ration to skim milk calves. There are few weeds in alfalfa fields. The three or four cuttings each year which the crop admits of are more than any tall growing weed can stand. Therefore alfalfa is an ideal soil cleaner. TORIA.
