Moran. Tanner disclaimed having any connection whatever with Vr. Moran. in the matter. Bewick of Lincoln testified that Moran had ap proached him and asked to be engaged to promote the state fair bill. Bewick replied that the bill was standing on its merits. The testimony shows that then Moran proposed to secure the vote and services of Tanner for the bill for $100 if 100 were nut up for himself also. He also proposed to secure Hamilton's sup port for $10 and said he could get otner members to support the bill for $5 each. Mr. Moran said he was in Lincoln taking hatha for a chronic ailment.

Theron Nye, one of the pioneers of Nebraska, died at his home in Fremont, last Wednesday night He was born in New York, July 26, 1828. His early life was spent on a farm. At twenty-five he began work in a drug store. After five years, he went into merchandise business on his own account; finding himself no better off at the end of three years, he came to Nebraska, landing at Fremont with only a few dollars in his pocket In 1860, he went into partnership with his brother-in-law, S. B. Coleon. They freighted across the plains until the Union Pacific railroad was finished. In 1866 the grain firmpf Nye k Coleon was formed, the origin of the mammoth bus iness now conducted under the name of Nye & Schneider company, and amount ing annually to several millions of dol lars. Mr. Nye was an enterprising citi zen, and was honored by being elected as county treasurer four years, county supervisor three years. He was the first mayor of Fremont He was well known by many of the older readers of The Journal, and highly respected by alL John Mcrpht, a passenger on Union Pacific train No. 3, Monday morning en route from New York to the coast com mitted suicide by shooting himself twice in the head with a No. 38 Smith & Wes son revolver. The shooting was done while the train was at Chappel, this state, and death ensued soon after the train reached Sidney. The shooting was evi dently done during a fit of temporary insanity. The deceased seems to have been an unusual character. Papers, letters, books, eUx, in his possession show that he was the assistanfengineer on the battleship Oregon, and was with this vessel during all her service in the Spanish-American war. He accompan ied the vessel to Manila, where he was discharged. He immediately entered the service of the English navy, from which he was discharged later, and soon after returned to the United States and was apparently going west to re-enter the U. S. naval service. He has a brother at Williams, Arizona, and a niece and nephew at college in San Diego, CaL Wanted, for each individual a good internal government well administered. There is no surer safe guard against all degrees of mental unsoundness than a habit of self-control. As men of quick blood may fall dead in moments of high excitement so may lesser disturbances oft repeated, unsettle the rational facul ties. Machinery that is loosely set tends to jar itself to pieces, and the agitations of ungoverned emotion may gradually produce an "unstable equilibrium" of the nervous system, and predispose the brigbest man or woman to be entirely upset by a sudden crisis of passion, alarm, loss or ecstasy. For joy, bice grief, anger, fear or appetite requires the gentle restraint of reason. The asylums are full of admonitory cases. Albion News. At to TJ. 8. Senators. Under this heading we purpose giving, from week to week, such information and speculation as may be of current inter est Ed. Journal. The announcement of the appointment of Colonel William Carey Sanger of New xork to be assistant secretary of war, marking the retirement of Mr. Meikle- john from that position, has elicited con siderable comment, although it was not altogether unexpected. Mr. Meiklejohn has held public office so long and so con tinuously that it is a novelty for him to stand as a private citizen. While he had given it out that he would not be con tinued in the war office for a second term. he had hoped to have secured a title to a seat in the senate by this time, so that the transition would have been only from one end of Pennsylvania avenue to the other. Some of the politicians here are inclined to regard his early retirement as an indication that the administration is not particularly concerned in his cam paign, otherwise he would have been retained until the senatorial contest had reached an outcome. Personal differ ences with Secretary Boot are supposed also to have had something to do with the prompt acceptance of Mr. Meikle john's resignation. Ever since the open hag of the legislature it has been asserted that Mr. Meiklejohn was the administra tion candidate for senator, and this im pression has been earefallv nnned hv his friends and managers as a valuable part of his political capitaL Mr. Meikle john does sot think it necessary for him to go DaA to Washington at the present time to arraage personally lor tarsine? over the office to k sooc ixxxsooe; Capital City Lattar. (Special Correspondence.) . Lincoln, Marsh 9..190L Nebraska bow has poiatets from three states on the senatorial qaestion. At the last moment the Oregoa legielatare dropped the leading, caadidates and elected a dark horse. Moataaa did the Line. Delaware had a few repablicana who held out against the corporation boss who was tryiag to bay his way into the senate, and the legislature ad joarned withoat electing. Ji the present legislature felt incliaed to put the state to the expanse it might provide a oommittee to investigate the defect fusion administration. The dis closures would hit nearly every "reform er'' who has held office. Meserve could be made to tell about the interest on the school money, and about the price of bis bond. Porter could be questioaed about bis illegal fees. Cornell could be asked to explain how he saddled his relatives on the state, and allowed them to double up on salaries and fees. Wolfe would have much embarrassment in telling about the school land desk. The board of purchase and supplies could explain the purchase of the worthless clothing and the 12,000 pounds of rotten butter for the Hastings asylum. The printing board would have a chance to tell about the purchase of worthless stationery. The real price paid for the new carpets and wall paper might be ascertained. The public could get a lesson in "reform" which would last for many years, but the investigation would cost a good deal of money. The recent report of the "hold-up" committee of the legislature puts in a most unfavorable light O. S. Moran, a former "reform" member of the legisla ture. It seems that he had started a sort of bucket shop to control the price of legislative votes on corporation bills. It will be remembered that this is the same Moran .who was a member of the notorious "Mntz sniffling committee" appointed by the fusion legislature of 1897 to besmirch the characters of republican officials. v Under the present conditions the out look for the election of senators is not promising, audit is quite possible that a movement may be made for all the can didates now in the race to retire and let the legislature pick up some new mate rial. The folly of attempting to force the election of any man against the pro test of any part of the rank and file of the party is now apparent In case the most objectionable candidate does not soon retire, it is probable they will all have to -get out before an election can be had.

Btman lafmiaiaf tasTais Pacific's flaa far ths Ttw Lias. Recently the Union Pacific put sur veyors to work to run a line between Stromsburg and Central City. The dis tance between the two points is a little more than twenty miles. With this gap closed it would be possible for the com pany to give good service from Lincoln, connecting with the main line at Central City. No official statement has been made that the line will be built, but it ia said that the company is distributing ties along the line south of Valley and that it will relay the track on this part of the system this year. Some railroad men say enough ties have been unloaded along the line from Valley to Stroms burg to relay the track aad to place ties on the twenty miles of new road. The building of thia line would be a great benefit to the company, because by asing it in time of congestion of traffic on the east end it would practically afford double track between Central City and Valley. The distance would be practi cally the same, although easier grades would be found on the old, or main line. At times daring the spring part of the main Use near Colombo ia made alow because of high waters and floods, and once or twioe duriag the past tea years traffic has been blocked by washouts.

The doctor is much weaker than when he left home, the southern climate and atmosphere having jubi me opposite effect rfom that desired. He felt better as soon as he reached Nebraska. Word has been received that the new pipe organ for the Congregational church had been shipped. Work is now in pro gress building a small addition to the church in order to accommodate the large instrument This will be an unusual acquisition to so small a place as Albion. A very unusual, and at the same time a most pitiable event occurred in Albion tins week, when both Mr. and Mrs. Dan iel M. Buchanan were adjudged insane. Mrs. Buchanan we understand ban far a long time been gradually losing her mind, and the malady in her case is of a mild form. Mr. Buchanan has been queer for some time, but not until the last few weeks has he been considered really in sane. He has been carrying a revolver, and has done so many erratic things that it was not considered safe for him to be at large.

Something more of less interesting to Columbus readers of The Journal will be found in another plaoe, quoted from the Lincoln Journal. There are some indications that what there is talk ed of may be contemplated, and for the reasons set forth emergency conditions of weather, traffic and travel. The fact yet remains, as it always has been, that local traffic of railroads should be en couraged and stimulated, by every means in the power of transportation compan ies, and this is evidently the prime pur pose of the present management. Years ago, when houses were very scarce on these prairies, and the nutrient grasses were not being utilized for feeding sheep, cattle and horses, The JotjbnaIi begged of the Union Pacific railroad company to put itself with the hardy settlers and frankly tell them that for a short term of years they would bring them their coal and lumber at such rates as would encourage men to settle and improve this vast extent of rich soil, looking mainly to the future local traffic for the return of their investment together with interest compounded annually. The policy was not adopted by the then man agers of the road, but in spite of all, the hardy settlers of this country have vir tually ceased to erect for dwelling houses, school-houses, or even as shelters for stock, the familiar sod walls and roofs of the sixties, and we suppose that nobody now thinks it necessary to burn corn for fuel. Probably, the best paying portions of the great railways of Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska today, all things considered, are the local lines known as feeders. As with individuals, so with railroad corporations, there is always room for improvement, and it is usual that the progress be in the direction in dicated by past good endeavor. Washington Hardy of Leigh, is in the city this week visiting his son, C. C. Journal readers will remember that he was the man who fell eighty-five feet to the bottom of a well on the farm of Herman Johannes, north of Loseke's. That was on the 13th day of June, 1892, and he was brought to St Mary's hos pital, where he was cared for until he was able to walk, and was discharged January 24, 1893. He is to this day very gratefnl to the Sisters at the hospital for their kindly attentions while he was there. Mr. Hardy, in reply to some questions, tells us that at the time of the accident, he weighed about a hun dred and sixty-five pounds; that he had his hand on the curbing when the strap broke; that he went down like a pile driver, the bucket being driven five inches into the ground; his left arm was broke; his feet turned upside down and both ankles broke; his left leg was broken, and right knee put out of joint; he tied the rope let down for his rescue, with his right hand, his heart stopping its pulsations twice while he was doing the tying. He is now 65 years old, weighs 204 pounds, and finds a wonder ful satisfaction in life. I wish to call the attention of the public to what was done by the board of health of the city of London at the time the grip was epidemic there a few years ago. It seems that they placed bulletins in publio places telling the people that when taken with the grip they should drink freely of lemon juice diluted with water, or strong lemonade. This should be taken hot If this was done in the beginning they would need no other medicine. In the meantime take every precaution against taking cold. One thing is certain hot lemon juice or lem onade is a great remedy for influenza and colds. Brooklyn Eagle.
