SVLUVAS FOR VICE PMESIDENT.
For wwral'weahe past, friends of
Judge Sullivan of this city have
looking attar ail
tbefoUowiac bit of
published ia the Oasaha Boa, will be of
interest to Mr. Sallivan's aeqaaintaaoes
in this section:
"The movesaent to make Ex-Chief
Justice Sallivan of the supreme court a
vice presidential candidate oa the desao
cratie ticket has reached each propor
tions that thank little doubt bat the
democratic state convention will endorse
him aad sead a delegation to the na
tional convention to work for his nomi
nation. Friends of Jadge Sullivan believe
there ia a splendid chance to secure aim
the honor, believing, however, that the
action of the national convention will
depend largely apon Mr. Bryan. If ha
will use his inflaence to secare the nom
ination of Jndge Sullivaa there are few
deaiociate in the state, so it is reported
in Lincoln, but who believe that the Co
lnmbus man will secure the prize. None
of these doabt but Mr. Bryan will have
great influence in the con ventionXthoagh
not enough to secare a 16 to 1 plank in
the platform) and they believe that if
he will consent to a conservative plat
form, that is one without the Bryan
frills, then in turn the convention will
allow Mr. Bryan and the Nebraska dele
gation to name Judge Sullivan. One
prominent democrat remarked this
morning that if Mr. Bryan would say
the work Judge Sullivan could secure
the nomination i
For a while democrats looked apon
Judge Sullivan as a gubernatorial can
didate, but this honor the judge de
clined, sayiag that under no circum
stances would be be a candidate. It ia
the opinion now that he will not be en
dorsed for senator because it is not likely
that the democratic convention will en
dorse, relying on the republican conven
tion to do that and then playing the
field against their' candidate. Conse
quently there is little else to give Judge
Sullivan except the vice presidential
endorsement and that more likely will
be his."
The latest in war news comes from
Seoul dated March 6. The Japanese
Steamship company's vessels of the
Osaki line have resumed passenger ser
vice between Kobe and Chemulpo. Its
first steamer, the Chikago Own Mara,
arrived at Chemulpo today, carrying
foreigners among its passengers, inclad-
ing Americans of both sexes, in addition
to Japanese. A reference to the map
showing the proximity of 'Port Arthur,
the great Russian Asiatic naval base to
Chemulpo, shows even to the uninform
ed the really wonderful success which
the Japanese now have won by cleaning
both the sea of Japan and the Yellow
sea of the enemy, who twenty days ago
unhesitatingly claimed naval superiority.
Today Japanese steamers sail both seas
unprotected by accompanying warships.
The resamption of commercial inter
course is necessarily incomplete, because
the Japanese government has chartered
many transports and therefore steamers
are scarce.
A bill has been introduced in the
Iowa legislature permitting any child of
school age who desires to attend any
high school in the county of its residence
or an adjoining county, and who can
pass an examination prescribed by the
county superintendent, shall be allowed
to eater the school preferred, the ex
penses for tuition to be collected from
the district or township of the pupils
residence. It is argued that one-third
of the farmers in Iowa are renters, and
have not the means to send their chil
dren to higher schools.
Norfolk is to have a aew factory, a
firm within a few weeks starting the

building block stuff is made from Port

and that this year the firm will have
more than it can attend to, although the
industry is still in aa infant state.
Receipts upon the 2-per-cent tax on

With the reciprocal tax added the re

K. O. Kohler of Ellensburg, Wash

of this city, had an experience in a heavy

drifted onto n sand bar with but a few
hundred dollars damage to the vessel.
The Tacoma Ledger in referring to an
interview had with Mr. Kohler, who was
on his way to Seattle, says: "Mr. Kohler
said the passengers behaved in a most
sensible manner. There was no signs of
a panic, but all were anxious to do their

Platte lifeT lifts.
Tuesday of last week was so warm and
spring like, that the ice in the rivers
started to break and gave indications of
an overflow. The water in the Platte did
more damage up stream than below us,
as much of the ice gorged on the north
side of the river where the Loup joins
the Platte.
At Grand Island, the railroad bridge,
at Chapman, Clarke, Silver Creek and
Central City the wagon bridges are all
reported badly damaged by the ice and
unfit for travel. The bridge at Central
City went out about 5 o'clock Tuesday
morning, and by tl o'clock that evening
the ice had gorged south of Columbus
and carried away seven spans of the
wagon bridge. Two more were taken
out Wednesday morning, making nine
spans in all to be repaired. The most
damage done to the bridge is on the
north end. Water overflowed the banks
into the pastures, but no great damage
has been done to property.
At the Loup river railroad bridge, all
day Wednesday workmen watched the
structure and blasted the ice with dyna
mite on the north side of the bridge, but
the ice had not yet broken up stream,
and is still in the river.
The B. & M. railroad bridge was close
ly watched all day Wednesday, escaping
undamaged, but is still to stand the
strain of the ice from the Loup.
The greatest damage reported along
the Platte was from Fremont to Mercer,
where high water has flooded the country
since Thursday, and has not yet subsided.
Nick Schreiber, an extensive stock dealer,
east of Fremont, estimates his loss of
stock at $10,000. Other farmers have
lost animals and small buildings by being
washed out by the flood.
The Union Pacific company was com
pelled to run its trains over the North
western tracks from Omaha to Fremont
until Sunday, when it was cut off from
that source by the breaking down of the
Northwestern railroad bridge over the
Elkhorn river between Arlington and
Fremont, thus cutting Fremont off from
communication from all points east.
The Union Pacific has several bad
breaks between Fremont and Valley due
to the overflow of the Platte river "that
have not been repaired. The bridge at
Arlington has not collapsed but ia weak
ened by the breaking and sagging of
weak timbers. Some of the Union Pacific
engines are heavier than any the
Northwestern uses, and their weight is
largely responsible for putting the struc
ture out of service.

burned brands were not carried across
that could not be controlled.
