THE ANARCHISTS.
Charles Carah. jr., of Humboldt Ne
braska, had expressed approval of the
hootica? of President McKinley. Citi
zens gathered around his house in the
darkness, called him out closed arouna
him, removed his clothes, doused him
with warm tar, and put feathers on the
tar. He was told to quit talking anarchy.
Two fellows from the country came
into North Bend the other day and ex
pressed anarchistic sentiments both
towards the dead president and towards
President Roosevelt, one saying of the
latter "Oh, I suppose he will do the same
as McKinley, and, if he does they ought
to shoot the ." Cries of "Lynch
them" were soon heard, and ropes were
immediately procured for the purpose,
but the frightened anarchists jumped
onto their horses and galloped out of
town.
Freanenters of a -saloon in Fremont
were incensed the other day when a
fellow started to distribute copies of an
anarchistic publication containing an
offensive article relating to the assassi
nation of President McKinley. One
fellow knocked him down and others
kicked him into the street
At Soring Valley, Illinois, there are
said to be about 500 anarchists, who
encourage John Cincebella, editor and
DroDiietor of L'Aurore, to continue the
publication of his anarchistic paper.
Other people outside the anarchists, have
notified him to remove his printing piani
immediately, but he declares he will
remain, and is preparing to issue his
paper as usual. Following is a portion
of an article in L'Aurore: "If President
McKinley had remained McKinley he
would have avoided Czolgoz's pistol.
The news neither surprised us nor touch
ed our grief, because such accidents are
wanted by those they happen to. To
the courageous and bold rebel of Buffalo,
our salute."
The police at West Hoboken, N. J.,
claim to have discovered that Mrs.
Bresci, wife of King Humbert's slayer, is
raising contributions for aid to Quinti
walli, Bresci's alleged accomplice, now
under arrest in Italy; also Loner and
Jeffl, two anarchists in custody in Switz
erland, and to help an anarchistic paper
printed in Rome.
A telegram from Albuquerque, New
Mexico. Sept 25, says that Antonio
Maggio had a preliminary trial at Silver
City and was bound over to await the
action of the United States grand jury
at Los Cruces, October 9, under $10,000
bonds. He could not furnish bail and
was remanded to the custody of tho
marshal, who took him to Albuquerque
for safe keeping. When put upon the
stand Maggio denied making statements
three months ago that President McKin
ley would be killed before Oct 1, and
that the person who was to kill him had
been selected.
John Karus in the Chicago Inter
Ocean, suggests branding a large and
distinct letter A on each cheek and the
forehead of every anarchist in the United
States. His doctrine he states thus:
"Wipe them out or brand them that they
may be known."
In last Friday's World-Herald or
Omaha, reproduced from the New York
World, will be found a lengthy article
by an Ex-Chief of the United States
secret service on how the anarchist
assassin receives his education. Step by
step first persuasion, then force, tests
of sentiments, and finally the assassin
chosen by lot Incidentally the writer
throws light upon the workings of the
anarchist's mind, in this: "When a man
starts reading their books he becomes a
loafer, devoting his time to attending
anarchistic meetings, reading anarch
istic newspapers and cultivating the
notion that everything in the universe is
wrong but himself. He becomes vain
and thinks he is cut out for great things."

Of course every close student of pub
lic questions knows the difference be
tween the doctrines and the tendencies
of socialists and anarchists, but there is.
a misapprehension in this regard with
many. At a convention of socialists in
Omaha the other day resolutions were
adopted denouncing the pernicious doc
trines of anarchy as favoring no govern
ment at all but the individual will and
regarding organized government as its
bitterest enemy; commending socialism
as standing for a just and perfectly
organized government; condemning the
murderous doctrine and actions of the
anarchists, which have so recently caus
ed the death of our president, and ex
pressing deep sorrow to Mrs. McKinley.
The Kearney Democrat whose editor
knows whereof he speaks, haa the follow
ing good words for Judge Sedgwiok:
"The writer has known Judge Sedgwiok
for abont twenty two years and while
we have always differed with him in
politics, we have always regarded him as
an ideal lawyer and a professionally
clean, upright man. He is now one of
the supreme court commissioners and
other members of the court have told us
that he was one of the most oonsoien
tious, hard working members of the
court commission, and highly respected
and admired for his great store of legal
knowledge by his associates on the
bench at this time."
An action to recover $2,000 on a life
certificate in the Woodmen order was
recently decided in the district court at
West Point. The defense claimed that
the person whose life was covered by the
certificate had committed suicide and
that this vitiated tho insurance. The
court ruled that the faot of suicide would
be sufficient to release the order from
payment of the certificate, but the case
went to the jury on a question of fact
and it was decided that deceased had
come to his death by the accidental dis
charge of a revolver. F. Dolezal and C.
C. McNish represented the plaintiff.

Although September is past and Oe
tober at hand, and election only five
weeks in the distance, yet, we find that
very little is said on either aide by the
press of the county, except what is said
by-way of praise by the partisan papers
for their representative candidates.
Let me briefly review the positions of
the democratic nominees as they appear
to the writer.
John G. Becher, the nominee for treas
urer, was expected to receive the nomi
nation as it is customary for the treas
urer to bold two terms and I believe
that is as long aa be could hold under
existing laws. That he has made a fair
officer I will not deny, but there is no
reason why his opponent Mr. Martyn,
would not fill that offioe equally as well
For county clerk the democrats have
seen fit to nominate the smooth Walt
Phillips. Is this the same G. W. Phil
lips who two years ago proolaimed in
public and private, everywhere, that he
would never again be a candidate for
the office, if he could only pull through
that time? It certainly is. Walt, is by
all odds the smoothest and craftiest
among the democratic offloe-seekers of
this county. Up to the day of the con
vention at Platte Center, I am informed,
he gave out continuously that he was
not a candidate for the office and did
not want it At the same time he laid
his wires and set up his pins among his
personal friends and fellow-schemers to
spring his name on the convention,
while he would remain absent and carry
his nomination through with a rush.
Then, of course, be could not refuse.
The scheme was well laid and worked lo
a dot The friends of other candidates
made no kick, as they desired to run in
their pets in a similar manner. That
was why there was so little opposition
to bis nomination. But while the scheme
worked it was rather an unscrupulous
method.
I have no personal ill-will against the
candidate, and admit that his qualifica
tions are good, but any one can see with
half an eye the inconsistent statements
and methods of the gentleman, and
while it is true that he is fit for the
office, will not all admit that he has held
it long enough and that Cant C. W.
Jens can fill the position fully as well?
I observe that John C. Byrnes, the
populist, saila in the same boat with
Phillips. In 1897 he declared emphat
ically that if he could only obtain one
term he would be satisfied. Next, in
1899, he bobs up the second time but
announced to all that be would not
appear again for a nomination. He is
about as consistent as Phillips, having
schemed and worked all summer and
fall for a re-nomination. Perhaps be,
too, thinks that the office of sheriff can
not exist except under bis supervision,
but he may yet hear from his special (?)
friends in the north and west parts of
the county, whom he visited a year or
two since. George Brodf uehrer will poll
most of the young vote of the county
and may surprise Mr. Byrnes.
For county superintendent Mr. Leavy
was another that was bitterly opposed
(in 1897.) to any man aspiring to office
more than twice. Perhaps be. too. haa
changed his mind on this question. At
all events, be deserves the nomination
in compensation for all he has suffered
from excessive hand-shaking the past
three months. Scarcely an old lady
could pass the sidewalks daring that
time that he did not entertain with a
double twister, especially if aba could
speak German. Yea, ha oag ht to have
the aoeainatioB by all means, but 'the
votes will pass over to another man.
For county judge, it acorns, the dem
ocrats were courting defeat. They were
of the opinion that "any old thing" waa
good enough for that office. They se
lected a man for that offioe ;that they
would not vouch for aa being fit for the
office of justice of the peace. The same
man that they put up and defeated in
1895. I am of opinion that Mr. Ratter
man ia honest and a good citizen, bat
not qualified for that important office,
and the schemers only put him up with
a view of drawing their chestnuts out of
the fire by holding the people of the
north part of the county together for
their use. Mr. B. will find this out
when the votes are counted and W. A.
McAllister elected. As the campaign
progresses I may make further observa
tions should any apparent changes in
election matters appear to my view.

E. H. Jenkins writes that the Boston
k Albany railroad is a double track and
the company sprinkle their roadway with
kerosene to keep the dust down. When
we struck Albany we were transferred
the N. Y. Central & Hudson River road,
which has four traoka from Albany to
Buffalo, two for passenger trains and two
for freight The road runs all the way
through in sight of the Erie canal of
nearly so, which interested me quite- a
little. The canal does a large traffic in
grain and coal, and instead of the old
tow-path mule for a propeller, most
boats now have small engines of some
kind, I think mostly steam.
The rapids of Niagara are simply grand,
aside from the falls, and if H. E. Baboock
had the right kind of a wheel in the river
at the right place and could transmit the
power thus gained to Platte county, he
could pump the Loup river,up onto the
bluffs north of Columbus in short order.
Still, I expect to live to see the day when
the Loup will be running on top of the
bluffs, from which all kinds of power can
be derived, and in passing let me toll
you about a power house we saw at
Niagara. All visitors in going to the
falls pass close to the electric power
house near Niagara river, most of whom
do not stop to see one of the grandest
sights of the whole show. We had a
guide to show us the workings of the
largest electric power plant in the world,
ton dynamos, each of which is fourteen
feet in diameter, and each developing
5,000 horse power, or 50,000 horse power
in all. We were let down 180 feet to the
bottom of excavation (which was through
solid rock), where each dynamo has twin
water wheels, one horizontal, the other
vertical. The wheels use water the same
as the new U. P. engines (which are com
pound) use steam twice. From the bot
tom we were elevated a floor at a time
till we reached the top and were shown
on different floors, the workings of the
wonderful machinery. The company are
building at present another bouse as
large as the one they now have, and very
large buildings are springing up around
the power. I look for Niagara and
Buffalo to grow together in the near
future.
A letter mailed at Oadi, Ohio, Sept.

A jolly crowd of relatives, twenty in a

Many of the old worm fences are

At about 9 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing last Mrs. Henry Krase found the
dead body of her infant son, two and a
half years old, in the irrigation pond, on
the place formerly owned by John Tan
nahill, near the southeast limits of the
city. ''
The child's absence from the home
premises (across the street west of the
former Tannahill residence), was noticed
about 5 o'clock Tuesday evening, and
searching parties were organized, several
going to the right place, but not seeing
the body. The water is from six inches
deep at the circumference to perhaps
two feet at the middle of the pond.
Wednesday morning Sheriff Byrnes
and Mayor Ragatz were notified, and a
large searching force was abont to be
organized, when word waa brought that
the body had been found.

A fire alarm was given at about 4
o'clock Monday morning, smoke issuing
from the saloon across the street south
from the Lindell hotel on Eleventh
street kept by Frank L. Bridell.
An explosion had preceded the fire
alarm, and it was found that entrance
had been first made into the yard
through the gate on M street a hole
bored into the corner of the house and
the gate fastened behind them from the
inside; a bole about six inches square
out through the backdoor of the aaloon,
with augur and knife, a oroas-bar re
moved from the inside, and entranoe
forced.
.The safe, about two feet wide and
three feet high, stood near the east front
window. A small bole waa bored iato
the door near the lock, and it ia sup
posed that dynamite was used for blast
ing, aa the door was forced open, one of
the binges being pushed out carrying
with it a portion of the safe.
There was no money in the safe, but
the barglars carried off the iron cash
box.
The only thing missed was $1.00 taken
from the cash drawer behind the coun
ter, certainly a slim draw for two or
three men to apend so much time, and
take so much pains, besides losing their
sleep.
The only clew known is that a man
was seen going west op Eleventh street
early in the morning carrying a small
box.
John Eusden, who sleepa in the rear
of his store adjoining the saloon on the
east, says that he waa waked up by the
noise of the explosion five minutes be
