Tbe Burlington railroad oompaay
did a very handsome thing when it pre
sented Baxter, the express mstacagar
who killed one of the baadite eagsged
in the attempt to rob a Kisses City, 8t
Joseph A Council Bluffs passenger traia
near Council Bluffs one night Isst week,
with a reward of 1500. It is an unusual
thing for a trainman. to kill a train rob
ber, and such acts of appreciation as
this upon the part of the railroad com
pany will have the effect of arousing
the trainmen to further vigilance and ot
dampening the ardor ot the banditti.

Fred. Siems, jr., had, for him, a new
experience last Satarday morning, suf
fering a considerable loss by fire. It
was not noticed until n quarter to four,
when it was altogether too late to save
what was on fire. Two barns with their
contents; a lot of farm machinery, self
binder, seeder, etc; 1500 bushels of oats,
500 of wheat; 35 tons of hay; picket
fence: the horses were in tbe pasture at
the time; all live stock was got oat ex
cept seven roosters, that were burned
up. Water was thrown against the
dwelling house, aad it eras saved. There
is no telling how the fire originated.
The loss is estimated at S200. Insur
ance $1245, in Farmers' Mutual.
An enthusiastic republican meeting
was held at Ball's school house Friday
last at which Mr, Douglas of Brad
ahaw and 'Col. Kilian of this city were
the speakers. The Polk County Mo
Kinley Glee Club, Messrs. Stull and
Webster, furnished four selections ot
lively campaign music, in the opening
piece on the outside of tbe house using
large tin horns to magnify the sound,
producing quite a novel effect From
W. A. McAllister, who accompanied Col.
Kilian, we learn that both gentlemen
made addresses that were very well re
ceived by the audience, Mr. Doaglss
going carefully over tbe issues between
the parties, snd Col. Kilian dwelling es
pecially upon the beginning of tbe war
with the Filipinos. Both speakers elici
ted the closest attention for the three
hours ot the meeting.
This is the exclamation of one of the
populists of this vicinity, expressed,
doubtless, after a good deal of thought,
more or less worrying: "How long do
the peopleot the state of Nebraska think
that the pops will put up with tbe treat
ment they have bad at the hands of the
democracy? Four years ago Wstsoa
was ssked to step aside for Sewall; this
year Towne was pushed aside and a
'rebel sympathizer' pat in his place.''
Political fusion, merely for the sake of
offices, usually means confusion. Four
years ago the fusion was only made
effective "for the sake ot Bryan" in this
part ot the country, Bryan, althoagh in
name a democrat, being regarded about
as good a popalist sa aay of them bat
this time it ia different His prophecies
of four years sgo as to the dire calami
ties that would come in dae time if Mc
Kinley ahould happen to be elected, all
proving fake; his overweening desire to
be the political dictator of his parties,
and all, make the question of iaterest to
political studeata generally.
Wednesday eveaiag last "Cyclone"
Davis of Texas spoke to a crowded
house at the Msennercnor. The music
of the occasion was by the City Band,
with singing by Miss Walker, kaowa aa
the "Black PatttVwho has a splendid
vo'oe, aad who ia aa expert vocalist As
a bnrlesgue entertainer for men of his
own peculiar style of belief, the "Cy
clone" is undoubtedly n taking talker.
Bnt it is little wonder that so many
democrats oi the city era disappointed,
and wouldn't earn to be again visited by
the "Cyclone"-at least this campaign.
A goodly number of the crowd were re
pablicaas, drawa oat by cariosity as to
what the southern faaioa speakers have
to say ia regard to so-called militarism,
imperialism, expaasioa, etc. The trath
is that the situation of affairs is agaiaat
tbe democratic speakers, the compari
son of general basiaess between tbe
present sad four years ago is something
constantly in the minds of listeners, and
cannot be hooted away; laughed nway,
or seared away by bugaboos. It is a
consideration that aa amount of sophis
try caa get rid of, aad sleight-of-toagae
performers like "Cyclone" Davis have

At Ahreas school-house Friday even
ing the republicans had a very satisfac
tory meeting. To Joseph HeBggler,
probably, more thsa to any one else wsa
dae the success of the meeting in so far
as individual work goes. Mr. Henggler
had decorated the school-house with
pictures of MoKinley and Roosevelt, the
flag, and pictures of prosperity.
There was an excellent torn-out of
voters of the aeigbborhood, the house
being full. All seemed anxious to listen,
and were very atteative to what was
said by the various speakers.
Joseph Henggler was chairman of the
meeting, and made quite a little speech,
so oar informant says, touching on va
rious topics interesting to voters in this
campaign.
Remarks were made by J. E. North,
Frank Gerharz, D. Schupbach, & W.
Hobart, W. M. Cornelias, H. E. Bab
cock, H. B. Beed, Henry Ragats and
Carl Kramer, o! this city, who had taken
an early supper here snd driven out to
the meeting.
