FAIRBANKS MAKES ELOQUENT SPEECH DOLLIVER FAILS TO BE PRESE1T Visa-Presidential Caaiidate Maas Grant Craw aa is Faaad Hat Wanting. The rernblican meeting Monday was of the old-time dimensions. At 2 o'clock Hon. W. A. Prince of Grand Island addressed a crowd that com fortably filled the opera house. At 3:10 when the special carrjins: Sena tor Fairbanss polled in, the house was crowded. Mr. Prince discussed state issues in a masterful way and held the attention of the audience till the cIom. His speech was well rooeived and was an able presentation of the issues of the state campaign. County Onairman Hoare introduced Senator Fairbanks, who proved to be one of the ablest campaign speakers that has ever been heard by a Co lumbus audience. He was the polish ed scholar, never lacking for well fitting language, the educated gentle man and the earnest statesman, all in one. Mr. FairbanKs said: Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: I am glad to greet a Colombus audi ence for the second time in the discus sion of political questions. I look back to my vinit here some years ago with a very great pleasure and interest. Tour reception then was more than generous, moretnan kindly. The questions I come to discuss to day are essentially the questions I camo to discuss then. There is some thing about republican policies and republican questions; they do not change with the season. A good re- pnblican speech eight years ago wears just as well today as a speech freshly made. A good republican speech of four years ago is suited to the con ditions of the present hour. A good speech in the campaign of IStiO, when we gave Abraham Lincoln to history, is good in the campaign of 1904 when we propose to give Theodore Roose velt foar years more. It is important that there should be in charge of oar great national affairs a party with continuity of purpose, a larty standing for those great policies that were good yesterday, are good today and will be good tomorrow. For the American people are building not only for today bnt for the future. It is important that we hold the high est place ia commerce, that we hare the greatest factories, that we be the greatest factors in trade. If we would achieve the highest national distinc tion it is essential that we should stand for those great fundamental principles which are as changeless as the stars above as. The republican party appeals to the very intelligence ami patriotism of the American people on its past record. Is the republican party worthy of the continued confidence of the American people.' Has it not discharged in full every responsibility resting upon it ? Has it not stood for those policie s which essentially staad for the Amer ican people? When I was here a few years ago, conditions were not as they are today. I remember as I travelled around and mat the people they were yet suffering under the burdens that had been ac cumulated as tho result of democratic administration. Toe farmers were weighed down with obligations and the people knew sot which way to turn in their sore distress to find re lief. Finally they accepted the judg ment of the republican party ; they ac cepted the policies of the republican party; and through its policies the mortgages have disappeared from the farms ; or in cases where they have not been entirely lifted, the interest charges have been reduced. The bur dens have been lifted from the should ers of the people. In IS'.ti, under Ben jamin Harrison's administration, the bank deposits of 43 million dollars in Nebraska were reduced in IS96 under a democratic administration to SO mililon dollars. Under the inspira tion of republican policies, in the ad ministrations of William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt two of the most successful administrations in all the splendid history of the republic, from the morning of George Washing ton's firrt administration down to this blessed hour under the administra tions of these two great presidents, ander the stimulating effect of the jreat palicies for which the republi can party has stood, the bank balanoei of 30 million dollars in 18 were last year more than 80 million dollars in the state of Nebraska. These exhibits show how the com mercial currents are a thorough baro meter of the industrial development of the state and the people; and the question now is. Shall the American Iecple overturn the policies, shall the American people overturn the admin istration under which these compar able results have been acheived? The answer must be made by us. fellow citizens; the answer must be made by us on November 8th. If we tarn oat policies and administration of the repabhean party, what policies, what edi inistration shall we substitute for them.- Will they bring us more of prosperity, more of contentment on the farm, more of happiness throughout our country? Will they increase omr great commercial development? Will they lilt higher than it now ia the national prestige of Jmr republic throughout the world? It is an important question. 'Those who would check our cc mmercial de velopment today would icfliot a vroag which is not easily remedied : those who would check for a year 1 lie com mercial development of our nation would commit a wrong which is in calculable ; and those who would for four years arrest the commercial development cf this great nation, those who would stop the wheels of progress for four years, would inflict an injury the fall extent of which there is no genius powerful enongh to estimate. One thing about the republican party is, it has never put the brakes upon the wheels of progress. The re publican party stands for advance ment, it stands for expansion in do mestic trade, it stands for expansion of our commerce in all parts of the earth. It stands for prosperity in the commercial centers, for prosperity en the farms, for prosperity in hamlet, city and village from one end of the republic to the other. Our democratic friends are unfor tunate in their policies. Their policies change with the seasons. They put on and take off political issues as you would put on and take off a coat. Democratic leadership and democra tic party in the state of Nebraska had a paramount issue in 18: they fled from it aa from a pestilence in 1900; and then they had a new issuo in UKU. The democratic party has undertaken to throw the mantle of oblivion over ail that it has stood for in the past, and raise new leaders and new issues with which to appeal to the judgment of the American people. You can fool the American people sometimees, but you can't fool them twice with the same trick. We cannot follow democratic leader ship; we cannot adopt democratic principles, because we cannot believe in permanent prosperity ander their principles. They are as changeable as the sands ot the sea. There can be no permanent development of our country in trade or commerce unless Pew build upon the everlasting and fundamental prinsiples of the repub lican party. The manufacturer must know how to plan for the future ; the merchant, the laboring man must know something of the future for him. That parry which brings to the Amer ican people, to all classes and all sec tions, staiblity and confidence is the party that ia sufficient. That is the word confidence. There can be no prosperity without confidence. Capi tal cannot go on planing for the future unless it is confident of a return. Con fidence is planted by the republican party in the hearts of the American people. The people have confidence in Its policies ; they have confidnce in the protective tariff. Why? Be cause experience has demonstrated that it is the one great fundamental policy that makes for our national strength and our greatest welfarve. The republican party has stood for the gold standard because it is essen tial to our highest and fullest com mercial development. It fills the American people with confidence. These two essential instruments to our commercial development are the fruit of republican statesmanship. The republican party has stood for both of these against the assaults of the democracy. If the democratic party had been successful years ago overturning the protective policy, what would be our condition today? Our commerce in the great industrial centers? Where would be the great market for the product of the farms, which are making these fields blossom veritably as the rose? I am glad to come into aa agricult ural community and discuss political questions. The speaker closed with an eloquent tribute to Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt. Senator Fairbanks and his party were met at Central City by a comittee con sisting of Judge A. M. Post, Juege J. G. Reeder, R. W. Hobart, Carl Kramer and F. H. Abbot The Fairbanks' parry included Con cressionial Walter L Smith of Council Bluffs. Senators Millard and Dietrich. Edward Rosewater, H. M. Burgess, states chairman, E. M. Searle, jr., candidate for state auditor, H. M. Eaton, candidate for commissioner of public lands and buildings, besides Messrs. Harrison of the state Journal and Gale of the Lincoln Star. Sen ator Dolliver was forced by a hard od to leavecthe party in Colorado. A carriage met the train and con veyed Senator Fair hanks and Congress man Smith to the opera houes. Congressman Smith follows with an eloquent address, reviewing the his tory of the democratic party. En thusiasm pervaded the atmosphere at the close of the meeting. Roosevelt and Fairbanks were cheered to the echo and there was a mad scramble of both men and women to shake hands with Senator Fairbanks. The crowd followed him to his train, where his picture was taken and cheered him lustily as he stood on the ear platform of the departing train. Fret Haare For jUBresentativa.

DEMOCRAT AND POP IN HARMONY CANDIDATES MAXE THEIR PLEA Berge and McKillip Cheer Each Oth er ap and Exhort the Faithful to Stay with the Ship. The populist candidate for governor and the democratic candidate for con gress in the third district spoke from the same platform in Orpheus ball Monday evening. senator w. a. way presided over the meeting and introduced Mr. Mc Killip as the first speaker. Mr. Mc- Killip made a brief address consisting" of several fanny stories which were well received ; a declaration that he would vote for Parker, which was well received ; and a declaration that there was no opposition to Roosevelt in Nebraska, which was exceedingly well received. Following Mr. McKillip, Mr. Berge spoke for an hour and a half. He an nounced that his remarks would not be along partisan lines, and through out his speech he carefully avoided the issues of the campaign. The theme of his address was that popular gov ernment has been overthrown and the vox populi completely stifled by a combination of machine politics, per verted legislation and standing army. "Standing armies are not to give liberties to the people but to take lib- Healtb. DON'T EAT TOO FAST! Don't be in a hurry take plenty of time to properly chew your food. A little rest after meals is a good thing also. There is only one thing to be in a hurry about make haste to drop into Dock's to see their new hair brushes. They have plenty of tbem now, but first chance is best you know. Chas. H. Dack Druggist erty away from the people," said Mr. Berge. His reference to standing armies was his only reference to national issues, lie then uevoteu a consider able time to a general discussion of the political history of the state af Nebraska tor the past 14 years, the term of his residence here. He sr.f d that not one good law had been passed while the' republican party was in power, and challenged the audience to ' name one law which had been passed by the republican party in Nebraska which was not a bad law. Nobody volunteered any information, and the speaker then pointed ont the good things that the fusion party had done for the state and a few of the bad things that the republicans had done. At fre quent intervals throughout his speech Mr. Berge reminded the audience that his remarks were strictly non partisan. This declaration and the assertion that liberty is dead were the two principal points of his speech. Of state issues, Mr. Berge took up the Brady elevator bill and the revenue law. His argument on the elevator question was confined to the statement that the people asked lor bread (the Brady bill) and received a stone (the Ramsay bill). The speaker did not explain tho difference in the provisions of the two bilbj. Coming to the revenue law, Mr. Berge's only comment was that it was framed by the republicans in order to pay the state debt, which debt the republicans were themselves responsible for, and that its object was to make the dear people pay and let the corporations escaiie. His only argument in support of this assertion was the reading of some extracts from the Platte county records, showing that certain Platte county farmers were taxed on their real estate more in 1904 than they were in 1903, while the railroads paid no more taxes in flatte county this year than last. Mr. Berge seemed to forget for the mo ment that he' is a candidate for a state and not a county office, for he made no comparisons of the increase in tax ation of the railroads and of other property for the entire state. His attention had been called to the fact that in the whole state the railroad assessment had been raised TO per cent and other property only 54 per cent. He did not refer to this. He did not say whether the Platte county land in question was taxed too high this year or too low last year, or whether it might have increased in value since last year. Mr. Berge seemed at one point al most to make a mistake, though he made a good recovery. He had been saying that whenever any party is continued in power for a number of years, a selfish political ring is formed and the party management will get out of the hands of the people and into the hands of the bosses, and then the party no longer has any claim on any self-respecting voter The only way, he continued, for the people to get in the game again is to turn the rascals ont. "It may be mighty hard on the politicians but a mighty good thing for the people and the taxpayers," he mid ; and just at that moment a thought seemed to stirke him and he added with some haste, "lam talk ing about the state now ; not about your county here, because I am not posted on that." The audience dis played no enthuiasm at this point.and the speaker continued with his speech. On the railroad pass question, Mi. Berge showed that the custom is con demned by all fair men of all political parties and is practiced by the other 93 per cent of ail political parties. In alluding to the pass question Mr. Berge looked straight ahead and did not seem to take note of the presence of the distinguished galaxy of local stars who occupied the platform be hind him. Mr. Berge closed his remarks with the observation that it was a non-par-tisan speech which he was making. The audience was attentive and good-natured throughout and was largo enough to comfortably fill the Orpheus hall. Fire at Platte Center. The large implement house of Mrs. K. A. Kehoe of Platte Center was completely consumed by fire at a late hour Monday. The store contain ed about 8.000 worth of implements which were insured for only $3,500. The fire is supposed to have been set by an incendiary, and it is believed the guilty party will be found out, though there seems to be no direct evidence at this time. The implement store stood within thirty feet of Mr. Kehoe's grain ele vator which was saved only by the effective work of the local hose com pany and citizens. Assault and Battery. Anthony Dolinski, 19 years old was arrested on complaint of Mervin Knntzelman Tuesday morning on the charge of assault and battery on the Knntzelman farm, and tried before County Jndge Ratterman. Dolinski claimed selfdefense but was found guilty and fined 3 and costs. DEZints. Gas Plant Franchise. The city council met last night and, after making some changes in the or . diDailC8, which had been read twice, read it the third time and passed it. As the ordinance now stands, it granted to B.B. Pickhart an exclusive franchise for five years for street lightB, same to be furnished at 925 each per year for a mininum of 250 lights or $23.50 each for a minium of 7a lights. For private lighting or heating purposes the ordinance Axes a maximum charge of 91.50 per 1000 cubic feet. It requires that work on the plant begin in 30 days and that the plant be completed and . one 'mile of pipe to be laid within 90 days from the passage of the ordinance. The street lamp and poles are to be furnished at the cost of Pickhart. The cost of the plant is estimated at 950.000 and Mr. Pickhart wired City Attorney Cornelius this morning that the contractors were ready to go to work, if the ordinance was passed. While the ordinance was amended so as to reduce the maximum cost of gas from $1.75 to 91.50 per thousand, and the term of the franchise reduced from six to five years, it is believed the change will be accepted by Mr. Pickhart. While there is a variety of opinion as to the advisability of passing this ordinance, and some difference of opinion among the members of the council who have investigated the subject. City Attorney Cornelius ex presses the view that the city's rights are thoroughly safeguarded. Councilmen Clark, Sheldon, Galley and Greisen inv .dtigated the plants at Lincoln and Seward, and C. O. Gray investigated the Norfolk plant. Board of Supervisors. The board of supervisors are still in session, ivingattention to the pats age of bills and matters of minor im portance. Today they turned down a proposition to sell the county an ad ding machine and are giving their at tention to the proposed drainage ditch. They will probably adjourn tomorrow. Mrs. Kehoe's Lorn $18,000. Mrs. Kehoe's loss 'in the fire that destroyed her implement house at Platte Center is estimated at 918.000, instead of $10,000 as reported yester day. Her insurance is $3,500. MARKETS. TiFFAxr & Johnson's Market Report at Close Todat. WHEAT-Deo. High 1.10. Low 1.08;B. Close 1.10 May. High 1.11. Low 1.09. Close 1.10;. CORN Dec High 49'. Low 48JL.
