this county started out slowly , is now n hum
mer The most successful political meeting
over held In the countv Is now in progress.
At ! l o'clock this afternoon a vast throng cf
enthusiastic republicans headed by the band ,
inarched to the depot to meet our next con-
pressman , N. V. Harlan , nnd thnt prince , of
( orajors , J. 0. Tnto. As the train moved Into
the depot the bund played "Hail , the Con *
qtiering Here Comes , " and hundreds of
voices shouted for Harlan. The procession
escorted the speakers to the opera house ,
which was quickly lllled to overflowing.
Mr Hurlan , in a speech of half an
hour , presented the claims which
the republican p-irty of Nebraska ,
based upon its history , bad tbo votes of the
citi/ens of the state. Mr. Ilnrlan made a
splendid Impression , thu contract between his
'Rontleinanlv argument and the Incendiary
Hpeceb tnndo here bv the demagogue McKcl-
J fjlyijii wus apparent to all. Harlan has made
hundreds of votes by his visit hero today , At
the close of his speech J. < ! . Tale then made
the most telling speech of the campaign. At
the close of bis speech It was evident that all
lukciv arinnuss bad disappeared and that every
icpuhllcan In tbo vast audtcuco had his light

At this hour the evening meeting Is In ses

Jini..1 Ttw1 republicans of tlds place held n
rousing rally lust night. It was the largest
political gathering of the kind that was over

procession of several blocks lone was formed ,

no less importance. The atmosphere in this
locality Is decidedly of a Richards and Dorsey
flavoring , und it Is needless to say that where
a clover leaf of orators Into these gentlemen
'appear thu day Is theirs.
Van Wyclc Iterates a Slander.
NiiiinvsK * CITV , Nob. , Nov. 1. To the
Kdltor of Tim Bii : : .lav Burrows , In the last
issue of his paper dated today , coins In his
own brain another most Infamous falsehood
In the allegation that last Monday a member
of the Independent state committee , .lames
K. Boyd and myself had a meeting nt the
1'avton house to seek the withdrawal of
Allen Hoot. There is no pretense for the
Htateniont , as I did not meet the coimnittco-

day or at any other tlmo at the Pax ton hotel
oral any other place to seek the withdrawal
of Allen Koot or any other man on the inde

It Given the President und Cabinet
Power to Kctnlliitc.
P.um , Nov. 1. Tbo now French tariff con
tains a striking feature heretofore unnoticed.
This is the clause which gives the- president
and cabinet full power to retaliate to as great
an extent as they choose upon articles ex
ported to France by any country which dis
criminates against French products or In any
way erects barriers against French trade.
This Is obviously modeled to meet the Amer
ican meat Inspection bill and Is intended as a
French answer to that measure. The general -
oral tone of the French press continues hos
tile to the adoption of retaliatory measures
against the United States.
Tnir papers urge that mutual concessions
bo made by Franco and the United States.
They seem to imagine that if the French gov
ernment makes considerable coocossions It
may pain a reduction of the American duties
on silks and woolen goods. The Journal de.s
Debats says that Sir Charles Tuppor and
Hector Fabro will bo charged by the govern
ment of Canada to negotiate a special treaty
of commerce with Franco.

only lire protector the village has is a hook

though the entire town would bo wiped out
of existence. After battling for nn hour
against heavy odds a telegram was sent to
Fremont asking for assistance from Its flro
department. A chemical engine nnd hook
and ladder apparatus were quickly loaded nn
a Hat car and a special engine placed at the

investigations of nn expert sent to that re
gion by the tCausas City Times , the report
from whom was received here today. The
only proipcot hole so far sunk is eight miles
west of Tlshoudngo , tbo Chlckusaw capital.
This prospect Is on ground leased by a num
ber of wealthy men.
The company Is known us the Anvil Hock
mining company with a capital of $10,1,0)0- )
OOO. It has control of twenty-llvo square
miles. In the prospect shaft , ttio upper crust
or stratum Is n qtmrUlte formation three feet
In thickness , underneath which U a stratum
ot gangue. Beneath the gangue Is a largo
layer of decomposed quarts and sand four
feet in thickness covered by amlcacious gran
ite. . and quart/ lead running northwest and
southeast. The writer , armed with a pick ,
extracted a number of specimens from the
walls which ho subsequently exhibited to
ether experts who also pronounced them us
undoubted ! * ' rich in Indications. Pulverl/ed
and washed out the specimens showed good
"color" and for surf-ice indications this Is a
good omen. From the Eureka mine the
writer drove into the mountains. Thu term
mountains as applied to the Arlnieklc ami
Wichita ranges , to a Califoinianor Peansyl-
vatiian , is u misnomer They are
simply ranges of bills two or
threu bundled feet high , but
they undoubtedly possess mineral hearing
qualities of great value. Lead exists in ilcb
quantities , and the writer picked up a piece
of iron ore that was almost pnrc. Asphaltum
also exists in paying quantities and solid
mountains of coal , equal to the best anthra
cite of Pennsylvania , uro encountered.
The famous silver mines of the ancient
SjMiniurds were visited and tract1 * still exist
of the crude methods used iu earlier days in
extracting the precious metals. The Spanish
mines aie located on Spi-nii ; creek in the
Arbucklo mountains , and although the an
