" "Probably not ; Clay county district con venes May 19. I have business there that day thtit demands my presence. " "Will any other questions absorb the atten tion of the conference ? " "I do not know , but some ought. My wish Is that the conference may bo numerously at tended , and if so I would like to see a resolu tion passed commanding our congress ional delegation unanimously to oppose McKinloy's tariff bill. I am a believer In protection and In 1883 upon the stump ad vocated its principles upon the basis of the national republican platform , as I understood It , that the tariff should bo revised and re duced ; and all wo asked was that revis ion and reduction should bo made by friends , not enemies of protection. Not n Nebraska republican supposed that the outcome of the success of our party would bo a McKInley bill increasing Instead of rcduc * Ing the tariff. Again , Nebraska needs today cheap money , as wo are borrowers. It would do as much material good to have the money supply for Nebraska demands increased. But hero is the. Now York legislature considering a bill to permit the savings banks of that state to loan their surplus funds in Missouri and Colorado , but not in Nebraska. Moro than all other agencies the protective tariffs of the past twenty-five years have contributed to thojllllng of the vaults of these eastern savings banks with Surplus money. Wo of the west have stood it on the 'general good1 idea , but when wo are discriminated against by a state whoso money vaults we have tilled , for ono I am for retaliation and I would kill their golden egg producing tariff. "Tho question of an early or late state con vention might bo considered , and in fact the conference possibly can do the party much gootl , provided only that It Is representative of the party and its aspirations and docs not become an Instrument in the hands of design ing men for personal ends merely. From the character of the rank and lllo of the party , only good may bo expected , , and in this U mo of party emergency , lot that character shlno out , abide and control , and fear need como tone no man or corporation. " Cretans Oivo Tliulr Views. Ciir.Ti : , Neb. , May 10. [ Special to Tun BKU. ] Hon. H. M. Wells , editor of the State Vidotto and n member of the republican state central committee , said : , "I should say : 1. They should adopt n scries of ringing resolutions expressing as nearly as possible the true sentiments of the great mass of the republicans of Nebraska on the question of transportation and favoring a reduction of the tariff. 2. They should Insert a plank llrmly protesting against any further dictation in our party conventions by pur chased proxies and the republican and demo cratic hired men of the railroads. 3. They should uphold tlio action of such men as Judge Ue.eso , General Lecso and Governor Thayer anil plainly inform the railroad commission that the people have been "monkeyed" just long enough. 4. They should exact a pledge In the nominating convention from officers who are to compose the railroad commission that thov will give the Nebraska shippers a rate , perhaps not qulto as low , but approxi mating that of Iowa. This Is the prevailing sentiment of the republican parly and no entangling alllanco fahould bo made with the democratic party , whoso loaders are too clearly all led with the great corporations. In my opinion , If the anti-monopoly repub licans will leave the question of prohibition and autL-prohlbltlon entirely out of their platform , adopt resolutions as nbovo indi cated , nominate honest , straightforward men , they will not only rocelvo the support of four-nfths of the republicans , but also n largo per cent of the democratic fanners of Nebraska , " Ex-Governor J.

In other words , place the railroad corporations of this state upon the basis of 'live aud let live. " " T. II. Miller , ox-mayor of this city nnd the loader of the German wing of the republican party , said : "I am in favor of it , and the conference should express in strong terms the sentiments of the people against the ex orbitant rates of transportation , so that the people will get some relief from railroad monopoly , and the farmer receive a Tair re muneration for his labor. I am strongly against prohibition being made a political Issue. The farmer should ? have relief , and I am in favor of anything and any party who can glvo that relief. " Hon. Cenck Duras , senator from this dis trict In the legislature of 1887. said : "Tho people of Nebraska being almost entirely de pendent on exporting all the surplus farm products and Importing manufactured goods from other states , are left at the mercy of the railroads , and therefore it behooves the conference to devote all its labors to ono issue only , nud that is the recommendation to the republican voters to nominate through their primaries only such men to the legisla ture as will promise , if elected , to comply with article XL , section 4 , of our state con stitution , providing for the regulation of transportation charges. Let them also recom mend the election of only such delegates .to the republican state convention as will favor the establishment of equitable transportation rates as our party platform. " from " \Vlsnor. WISIXKH , Neb. , May 10. [ Special to Tins BEK. ] The leading republicans of Wisnor express themselves as follows : O. W. Howe They should toke such action as will best secure the nomination of honest men for office and keep railroads from elect ing their tools to office , especially members of the board of transportation. While I have no doslro to cripple the railroads , I want them to keep out of sUto politics and allow the people to choose such officers as troa * all Interests fairly. William Nicholson I should recommend 1. Early conventions ; 2. A full vote at the pri maries ; 3. The nomination of men on the re publican ticket wtio will.bo acceptable to the people , and work nt the polls for their elec tion. tion.E. . M. Klrton I favor neither monopoly or anti-monopoly. Republicans should favor an early convention and the selection of dele gates who will nominate men of business ex perience for the various offices men who will deal wisely with all classes and in terests. Hobort Smith I don't favor the holding of such a Conference. It will bo made up of disgruntled elements whoso chief aim will bo ofUco or the defeat of the republldan ticket. The straight republicans are competent to take care of the people's interests. N. 0. Sears The convention should recom mend an early state convention , urge repub licans to attend the primaries to select dele gates so as to insure the nomination of the very best men for the legislature , and select delegates to the state convention who will secure tbo nomination of state oflleora known to bo jn sympathy with the best interests of the people. L. C.

Fremont Republicans Interviewed. FIIEMONT , Neb. , May 10. [ Special to THE Bet : . ] In the matter of the proposed antimonopoly - monopoly republican conference some expres sions of opinion from prominent Fremont re publicans have been obtained as follows : L. D. Richards , chairman state central committee I understand the object of the meeting Is to hold the republican alliance membership within the republican fold.whlch is to be commended , as the republican party can and will enact all nocdful legislation in the people's interests. Any action taken is binding upon no one , but a conservative treatment of affairs may result in good and have great Inlluenco with the next state con vention. Congressman Dorsov The members of the conference oughtHo submit to the public their views of the needs of the people of the state ; then recommend to the republican electors who are In sympathy with the views thus submitted to make a contest for these princi ples in republican primaries when they are called for nominating members of the legis lature and- selecting delegates for the differ ent conventions , and urge every republican to take part , letting the party conventions settle all questions. If this Is done only men who are satisfactory to the anti- monopolists aud republican party can bo nominated. George Marshall. Chairman County Cen tral Committee I am not concerned as to what the anti-monopoly conference does. I believe the republican party of Nebraska will correct such evils as exist. If it don't , what one can aud will ) The republican party has always been the friend of the people. The republicans have had strong anti-monopoly planks in their state and national platforms and have fulfilled and are fulfilling their pledges. All republicans should stand by the party and not wander off after false gods. O. D. Mnrr. In my opinion there Is but ono thing for the anti-monopoly conference at Lincoln to do , and that Is to urge upon all antimonopoly - monopoly republicans the Importance of re maining in and and acting with the republi can party , directing nominations legislative and stato. This can bo easily done , for the great majority of republicans In Nebraska are anti-monopolists. The reason for such action Is obvious. Nebraska Is a republican sUito. Our legislatures we composed largely of republicans , who make the laws which go on our statute books , . Now if the antimonopoly - monopoly republicans qan dictate the republi can nominations , they will IIml themselves in control of the legislature and can then enact such laws as they think needful. On the other hand , if they attempt to act independ ently , they will not \w \ able to carry with them thousands of true anti-monopolists. Their forces will bo illvfdcd and the result will bo that no anti-monopoly legislation will bo had. ' i . J. E. Frlck I consider the proposed conference ferenco a scheme of thd politicians. I do not see what remains to bd done bv the republi can party of turf" state to ameliorate the condition of t hot people of Nebraska. In the matter of railroadilaws what Is needed ii enforcement rathcr-than moro legislation. No Inflexible railway law , however , can do exact Justice to all wltn the conditions of Ne braska's population being so widely different Incident to locations in thickly or sparsely settled sections of the state. A. Truesdoll In my opinion thoparty must do more for the agricultural interests than hitherto or some day It-will make up with a cyclone nnd tie insurance. In the matter of freights I think rates should bo governed ac cording to tho.low price of farm products and dividends on railroad stocks should bo no higher than these on the farm. When prices of farm products are as low as now rates should bo scaled down accordingly and not exacted on u basis with reference to the cost of the iiropfirty. J.

It Is an Inexorable law of the Plma In diana of Arizona that whenever 'one of their number is pronounced to bo be witched ho shall bo put to death , as his presence threatens the lives of all with whom ho comes in contact. A writer In the Sun Francisco Examiner gives the following realistic description of the execution of si Plma suspected of witch craft. The writer was hidden behind a largo rock some three hundred yards away , but was able to follow the minutest details of the horrible scone by means of his field-glass. After waiting for about an hour , ho says , my vigil was rewarded by hearing the monotonous sounds of an Indian song , and about half MI hour later some twen ty or twenty-five Indians , who by the means of my glass I was able to recog nize as ohiofrf , inediciuo men and promi nent members of the tiibo , nmdo their appearance on the summit of the peak. It was then about 9 o'clock in the morning und very warm the month being May and the lazy Pimus scorned Bomowhat overcome as the result of their exertions in making the precipitous ascent. They bat down in a circle surrounding , as I was able to determine , the accused witch. [ Tor half an hour tnoy made no move ment , when the chief mcdiolno man arose and started U little flro- , which put forth little ihuno but a heavy volume of smoke. After the Binoko arose In snfll- oiont quantities , ho begun funning it in different directions by moans of a blanket , breaking forth in A WKIRD , MOMHNTOUS CHANT , the refrain of which was taken up by nil the Indians present. On the Bide of the peak which I was facing arose a sheer precipice fully liOO foot high from-whlch at a distance of about forty feat from the top a lodge of rooks , perhaps twenty feet iu width , projected. As the song reached its height , two Plmns Plopped to the cdgo of the precipice and began hurling rocks upon the ledge below , and I could also BOO- that others were doing something - thing with the prisoner. Inn few' min utes the unfortuimto victim walked firmly to the precipice , standing ns erect as n. soldlor on dross parade and giving no evidence of trepidation or dismay. lie was entirely Btrfppcd of hla cloth ing and was u neautiful specimen of physical manhood who , to my horror , I momentarily expected to BOO hurled from the mighty bluff Into otornlty.

While I awaited subsequent developments In painful sus pense in order to determine the object of the strange actions of the Indians , the unfortunate wretch was bolng slowly and carefully lowered to his fate , and when but a few feet from the projecting rocks I heard a sound resembling escap ing steam from a distant engine. Fixing my glasses upon the pluco w.horo ho would soon step , I noticed that ho little rocky shelf seemed to bo in motion. Great lionvonsl Such awful depravity of human nature , snob SICKENING AND IIOKKIIILE ATKOCITV I could not witness , and I turned my head away from the revolting sight. The poor Indian was being lowered into a den of thousands and thousands of loathsome rattlesnakes , made blindly mad by tlio rocks thrown upon them and wore wait ing for revenge to strike his naked body when It came within roach and the hiss ing sounds I heard 800 yards away , wore their signals of warning. The poor re course of seeking a preferable death by plunging over the cliff was denied the wretch , for the six stalwart bucks who hold the rope nbovo would never glvo plav enough to permit of such action. There is an indefinable attraction about a scene of horror which few oun resirt , and just as the Indian's fuot touched the ledge of rock my glasses wore again fastened on him.

For two or three seconds his arms shot out like Hashes of light , and ho appeared to bo able to look In all directions at ono thno , as he cuiught the reptiles iru his hands and Hung them from him. Suddenly a cry of derision arose from the group of savages on tlio peak , and ns the gladiator nroso I saw that an immense rnttlur had fastened to the back of his neck , Still ho wo.it . on with his futile work of Bolf-prosorvatlon , but his movements grow slower nnd slower.
