The rrpubllcan campaign was opened In
Omaha last evening by T. J , Mnjors , tatirtl-
date for governor , by A. S. Churchill , candi
date for attorney general , nnd by "several
local np-akers. U vraa Intended to hold a
meeting in Hanecom. furk and the event had
b'en extensively advertised , but yesterday
afternoon the p.irk commissioner ! ) notified
the committee on arrangements that no
political meetings \\ere allowed In the park.
Consequently the iiRCtlng was held In a
vacant lot across the Urcct from the park.
Probably SCO people gathered to listen lethe
the speaking , The Seventh Ward band
furnished music. A table had been brought
( rum the Seventh ward republican head
quarters , and several benches back ol It
were filled with distinguished citizens , among
them being Colonel U. C. Russell of Schuy-
ler , republican candidate ( or commissioner
of public lands and buildings , II , E. I'.iltncr ,
C L. Chaftee , Samuel Macleod. George Hen-
nMl , Harry IJroome , J. L. ICaley and others
It C. Cochran presided.
A. 8. Churchill was the first speaker. He
dwelt upon national Isauea , spoke ot the im
portance' of the coming election to the people
of Nebraska , urged republicans to stand firm
In the faith , and predicted the success of
the entire ticket by handsome majorities.
The principal speaker of tliq evening ,
however , was Lieutenant Governor Majors ,
njw the republican nominee lor governor
Mr. Majors stalled out by saying that he
had come to Nebraska thirty-live yean
ago , at a time when everybody supposed
that the great American desert extended
from the Missouri river to the Rockies. He
fettled on the exticmo eastern edge of that
desert and had seen It grow Into one ot the
grandest and most fertile regions on Hie
globe. He had seen the state grow from
a territory with less tlmri 30,000 population
to a magnificent commonwealth with a pop
ulation of more than a million and a quar
ter. I IB was proud of the tact that he- hat
boon nominated for governor , and in dls
cusvlng his candidacy he said , In part :
TOM'S QIIRAT MISSION.
"And I desirelo say to jou tonight , my
frlondn , that I am proud of the fact tli a
the republican party has made me Its can
didate for governor. Yea , and I am goliiK
to be elected , too , by 25,000 majority ,
bellevo that I have n mission to be govcrno
of Nebraska , beciuss I am going to be thi
best governor that Nebraska has ever had
1 fully appreciate the good administration
with the able inon who- have been elected
to the position of chief executive ot thi
state. I want to say that the prchent ad-
m nlstratlon of Governor CrounsB has been
a magnificent one , and one of which I , In
common with ull good citizens ol the
ntate , feel proud. I propose to continue
the record ho has mide , taking advantage
of the best results of his wisdom and ex-
ppilonce.
" 1 nm proud of the fact that the repub
lican party of my utalo has not been
ashamed to take up Belt-made men. that It
has taken men for their personal Integrity
for Its candidates. I am proud ot my state.
I am proud ol that flag and the glory It rep
resents. 1 Jought for that nag ami In my
humble way did all tlmt I could to preserve
It from dishonor. I am prowl ot the labor
ing classes which that flag today protects.
The flag was for four long years the head
und front of a war we fought In order that
labor might bo free. When the great 1s-
BUCS of the war were finally determined wo
had n. free nation and a free people , and
labor was guaranteed the right to dispose
ot Itself In buch a way and for such reward
an it chose.
"To laboring men I want to say that
your Interests ore Identical with mine.Vc
linvo a government that wo must sustain In
order that \vo may have a nation and a
Kovernment ot nnd for the people. That's
what jou and I seek to maintain. It you
nre not satisfied with thosa In high authority
you have the constitutional means by which
you may change them. I would say to all
of you , have patience. Abide by law nnd
order. A condition exists in thla state to
day , and you must by your votes nexl No-
\ember dettTinlne its conclusion. The re
publican ticket represents law and order.
No state has higher degree of credit than
Nebraska , and no city higher than Omaha.
I saw this city In 1S59 , when It had less
than 3,000 people. It has enjoyed a mag
nificent growth In the past thirty years ,
and no spot on cnrth has a greater Interest ;
In the result of the election next November
than the citizens and laboring men ot
Omaha.
POINTS TO TUB CHURCH SPIRES.
"Look at this city. Look at Its church
spires rising heavenward as representative
of the Christian hearts and people of this
city. Look at Its manufacturing interests.
AVhy , Omaha U the great commercial center
if of the state , the heart ot the stale. Strike
1 Jt down , destroy Its credit and you para
lyze Us industry. Look to It that you vote
right next November , and that your votes
tire cast for the republican ticket.
"It Is to the republican party lhat the
state looks for the upbuilding ot Ua industry
and the sustaining of Us credit. I do not
vUh to disparage my opponents. Judga
llolcomb is said to bo a good man. It maybe
bo true. But U la not a question of him
but ofwhat ho means. Without going
farther Into a discussion of populist prin
ciples , 1 dsire : but to point to your sister
etate on the south , Kansas. Do you want
to elect another Llewelllng ? Or do you want
to go to Colorado , a great state , not de
pendent upon agriculture , but which sus
tains Us people and Its prosperity by the
brawn and muscle of Us miners. Do yoi
want to elect another Walto to ride througli :
blood to the bridle , reins ? I apprehend that
you do not want lo trade the conditions ex
isting today In Nebraska for the con :
ditions existing In the states south or vvesl
of us.
"This Is a. matter -which interests all Ofy
you. It Interests every business man , every
home , every fireside. It Is the duty ot overs
man to protect his home and fireside , and

"The populists tell us that there Is lOt

ou.HE CAUGHT THE BALU
11 \\itn Thrown from tlio ri > i > of tlio tt'tnli-
liigtmi Vloiimiiiiit.
A great dal vv.n done yesterday , says the
Washington Post ; a record was oroKeu and a
tradition of long standing smashed to smith
ereens byVl.llam Schrlver , the clevr
cjtcher of the Chicago base ball team.
Year after year , us regularly as the uoyx
would comu down from the Windy City to
do up th' local club , even as the 'plaldea
clans c.imo down to battle with Montrose ,
n controversy would arise between Pap An-
son nnd II. P. Uurncy , chief clerk of the
Arlington. Ilurney wes wont to nlurm tli'it '
no bAseballUt on earth ever had or ever
could catch a leglllatlon ba 1 that was tossed
from one of the windows of the Washington
monument. , ,
Had not Paul nines tried It In days of
jore with dire failure ? And Paul was no
slouch. . , ,
It was not In mortal man , declared Cl rk
Durney , to hold fast to a ball that dropped
500 feet In shier space. In the first place
the height was too great to see the d sceul-
Ing inhere , and even If the eye glimpsed
It coining trought the ether tli tremendous
force with which it would strike the out
stretch d hands would break every bone In
every finger , and relegate every catcher
who essayed the feat from the ball Held for-
Atison ever stoutly maintained the con
trury Ho vowed the thing could be done.
In vain to tell him how fast a falling body
went In the first second It Journeyed down
ward , and how much faster its speed was
for tvery succeeding second. He would
shako his head and repeat that the thing
could bo done ,
The years went by , nnd the argument
renewed each season , but no trial was ever
made till yesterday. Schrlver was consulted
on the subject , and expressed his willingness
to undertak * the task.
A little party was made up consisting ol
Messrs. Orlflitli , Parrott , Decker , Strntton
and Hutchison of the Chicago ; Frank
Dennett , manager of the Arlington ; H. P
Ilurney and Colonel De Itauni. It was a
deed that had to be undertaken with some
c.ire. H was necessary to procsod with
cmitlcn so as not to Imvo the matter In
tcrfered with by the watchful guardians o
the lofty obelisk.
To say that Schrlver was profoundly Im
pressed with the difficult and , perhaps , dan-
gcroui nature of the exploit he hod under
taken Is putting It mild. The weight of
opinion was against his ability to succeed
There was nobody. In the absence of Paj
Anson , to brace him up. The whole crowd
would have bet two to one on his falling
and so no wonder the poor fellow's hear
was faint. So taint was It that after Qrlf
fUli and Hutchison had got to the top , and
the former had tossed the ball from a nortl
window , Schrlver's nerve forsook him , and he
made no effort to catch It. Hut Instead o
boring a hole ten feet deep In motbei
earth , as some said It would da , the loathe
globe bounded up abcut as high as It vvouli
from an average strike , but no higher. Tht
encouraged Sehrlver wonderfully , and he re
solved that the catch was no great shakes
after all. The signal was given from above ,
and again the ball was pitched fcrth ,
Schrlver catching It fair and square , amid the
applause cf the spectators.
Ho didn't ut u chance to repeat the act ,
for by this time the monument cop gat
onto the game and was h.ghly Indignant
that any such affair should have occurred.
He talked of arrests , but was finally talked
Into a more amiable temper , and the party
came up town Joyous , with Billy Schrlver a
hero.
AFTER TWENTY-EIGHT YEAE3.
A. Illsnmoui TCannnA runner Found by tlio
bon \Vlin Unit ver Seen Him.
About twenty-eight years ago Stewart Strc-
vll and his wlfo were living on a farm In
Hates county , Missouri , says the St. Louis
Republic. They were very comfortably situ
ated and he was a great devotee of nice
horses. He owned two blooded animals , but
had not found them profitable. One day he
concluded to sell them and he left homo In
tli morning , taking them with him. He
never returned , and since then ho and his
wife have not known each other's where
abouts until a few days ago , when the ton.
by a mere chance , found his father. Mrs.
Strovll could not account for his disappear
ance. After several days she received a
letter from some unknown , person In Kansas
City Informing her lhat the body of a man ,
who was doubtless her husband , had been
found murdered thtre and buried , She was
was asked to accept his grave and care for it ,
which she consented to do. This was twenty-
eight years ago. Meanwhile the afflicted wife
endured the grief , which was assuaged only
by time. Three months after Mr. Strevll's
disappearance a son was born to her and
was named Noah. About ten years later
Mrs. Strevll was married to James Bowling
, and several years ago they moved to Boui-
bon county and located on a farm.
The sun , now a man 28 years of age , -with
a wife and three children , grew up with
them and Is still living with them. Until a
few dajs ago ho never heard that a man
- bearing exactly the same name as his lived
In Bouiban county. Last Tuesday he de
cided to Investigate the matter. He called
at Strevll's house during the noon hour
h and was Invited lo participate In the meal.
At the table young Slrevll noticed the crip
- pled finger , as described by his mother.
- The young man waited until dinner was
over and tlun he Invited the old gentle
man out Into the shade of the house , where
he disclosed his suspicions. The father
laughed at the statement , but when the
young man gave him Iho name his mother
! bore before marriage , as well as the names
< of his brothers and sisters , the. old gentle
man broke dawn In tears and confessed.
- The decrepit old man was assisted Into the
house by his BOH and his aged wife was told
of the recognition. She was prostrated , but
she soon recovered , anil severely censured
. Strcvil for living a lie for twenty-eight years
, She Immediately packed up her belongings
and went to friends In Kansas City , Mr
Strevll Is living alone on hla farm and h
, fearful ot a [ iioeecutlon for bigamy , though II
si Is understood , that proceedings will not be In
stituted. The old gentleman denies tlio au
thorship or knowledge of tht letter written
from Kansas City when he left his first wife.
He believes that the second Mrs , Strevll will
return and live with him.

In no department of the human Industry
has there been greater evolution of late yeun
, than In the business of making bricks. For
merly we had nothing but old-fashioned rec
brick that reached Its climax of perfectlor
at Philadelphia and was shipped thence ul
great expense all over the country where r
- high grade article was In demand. But the
- red brick has had its day tor architectural
use , and In Its place has come to atnj
the brick of lighter hue pink , buff , yellow
and , In fact , of nearly every shade. A brlcli
can be made thai Is as mottled as a ten-
a- gull's egg , or one that will show the varylnf

Ing certain metallic Ingredients to the clai

The ft'lhvnlns letter written by a union

start otllcer of the department commander

men of 'Cl are still ready to fight for true
republicanism , and popular self-goernment.

MANHATTAN , Colo. , Sept. 4. Prom an
elevation of over 10,000 feet It is enough to
inaKo a mai.'s head swim to look over Ne
braska and see the workings of political par-
Iks , and especially the republican party.
Being a Nebraskan myself , and having
taken nn active part In politics until my
health failed , and I came here , either to die
or get better ( I hu\e succeeded In neither ) .
Born In the republican party In 1S61 when I
entered the army , I gaxe the four beat years
of my life that right , truth. Justice and lib
erty might prevail , and no man can put a
mark upon one spot where I have swerved
from the principles embodied1 In true re
publicanism , or gone to the enemy's ' camp
for help or consolation I do led , however ,
that It I VMS permitted to nsain open my
mouth upon the "stump" In Nebraska that
It would take more courage than I give my
self credit lor possessing to do much talking
for the ticket named at Omaha. A man who
has nothing but a "war record" to back him
at this late date str.nds on a sandy foumla
tlon , Two men being up for office , one being
a soldier , and the other not , other things
being equally balanced , I always give my
preference to the old soldier. I claim as
good a war record as Tom Majors or any
other man who was In the ranks , but If I
was asking the suffrage of the people of Ne
braska today , I would consider I stood a
slim chance of an election , If my army record
alone was all I had to offer. The republican
party has. need to be very careful in what
kind of men they ask the people tovote for.
It would senn that the old paying , "A burnt
child dreads the fire , " Is a misnomer , as the
party seems to forget that only a short
time ago they asked the people to vote for
a man whose record had to le "explained , "
and now they ask you to vote for a man
whoso record cannot be explained , a man
whoso 1) . & M. record Is so plainly wrlttten
upon all his actions tint the veriest simple
ton can sec that he has no more the Inter
ests ot the general people at heart than has
a liorsothlol for horesty.
While , as said above , I have always stood
Ly the party , and have always advised
voters to do the same , contending that If a
man expected my vote ho must run on the
ticket I voted , but when time after time the
conventions of the party are dominated by
railroad cappers ard ruled by corporate
bosses , the will of the people set aside , their
Interests Ignored and corruption running rloi
In the naming of men for whom they asli
the people to vote , I feel like It Is time to
call a halt. I do not believe that It wll
smirch the character of a republican to vote
for Judge llolcomb for governor. Ho Is a
good man , and no one will say but what h
would make a good governor.
Voting for him would be to honor a gooil
man. and at the same time let the man o
miny marks know that the people could no
and would not endorse the action of a con
\entlon directed by an clement that has n
interest In common with the republican rani
and file of the state. It would also tend
the leaders of the party a Icrson they may
not soon forget , that It will not do to temp' '
the people too much , for human nature can
not stand everything , and the indlgnltle
heaped upon the people jear after year b
those who work only for selfish greed , wll
no longer be tolerated liy a long suffering
people. You may "cuff n cur and he will
lick your hand , " but the same thing will
not do with freeborn , liberty loving Ameri
cans , and the action of the Omaha conven
tion Is so big a "cuff" that the probabilities
are that Instead of "licking" the hand that
save the cuff , the people will turn out and !
give "Tom" the "all-ftredcsl licking" ho
ever had.
A N13URASKAN IN THE MOUNTAINS.
YORK , Neb. , Sept. 1. To the Editor of
The- Dee : For years I have been opposed to
The flee , not so much The Dee as Its editor ;
training with the other elements of the re
publican party and assisting to shape the pol
icy of our side , I may have become prejudiced
as muny have , and felt thai whatever Rosewater -
water was for we of course must stubbornly
oppose. I cannot now say that I love Rosewater -
water , but feel that the Issues In this state
take note of no man , nor do they care for
any party. It Is not Rosewater or nntl-
Rosewater. but Uurllngton against Nebraska ,
The railroad question cannot be tossed aside
by the statement that It Is so stale , and an
old threadbare song of cranks. The plati
form confesses that It is a real , live , burning
Issue by taking the position it does in favor
of federal control , and the enforcement or
the law we now have , courts and Injunctions
to the contrary notwithstanding , Wo confess
that our party has had the power to enforce
and that our ofllcers have refused and neg
lected to do what we now loudly demand.
Not only the party platform speaks the
Issue , but the Jim Ulalnu of the west In
stating what he would put In a platform were
he making one. emphasized federal control j
of railroads. Uelng a Tmirston republican , I
. believe he knows what he Id talking about.
Another thing forces me to conclude that [
the railroad Issue. Is not so stale that It has
a bad smell , and that IB 1 vas a delegate
and rode from the western part of the state
, on a U. & M. pass , and for that reason Ma
jors was disappointed because I was for Mac-
, Coll. I saw each delegation march on. leader
stop and show the conductor a little piece of
paper and get as many hat slips as he had
an order for. The leader -would pass along
tli a aisle and hand each of the boys one ot
these lltllo things , which ho stuck In his hat
. and his fare was paid lo Omaha. When I
went home the same easy way I saw many
pops get on the train going to their conven
tion , but those measly cusses had to pay and
t began to think It a bit strange that wo re
publicans were In clover while the pops re
on the sunburnt prairie grass. I awoke id
wondered what the Burlington was to get
for all this liberality , ind I am wondering
yet.

The lines between the I ) & M. and the

Tain Majors was so lost In the Durllngton 1
whirlpool. I have been with htm In ever }
campaign , we have counseled together , but U
was enough for mo when Majors could gel
anything he asked for in the- way of trans

felt that MacColl was not receiving tali

It did him. It teemed as though MacColl
was prepared for the blow and was not EC
disappointed as his follow en were.
I BJW that the Uurllngton wanted Majori
and had reasons for not wanting MacColl ,
and much as I admire Tom Majori I feel
that It Is now u question ol protecting out

Personally Majors Is a splendid fellow to
bo out with , that Is for the boys to be out
with , but he would be a governor inurh like
Tom Uenton was auditor , and like lienton
he has the nerve to not ba ashnmed of It.
Whether true or not , the common people
believe that Majors bus nlwajs represented
the railroad Interests ; has done It In a quiet
way. like having a "call of the house" when
a law was about to pass , send for the absent
one , and bo careful to lot another slip away
to Hastings or tome other place before the
first one was arrested.
It is an open qiip.stloii with the people
whether the party would be stiongcr or
weaker alter the defeat of the Majors nnd
Uurllngton element. Kor one I believe It
would be stronger
I thought I would get over my soreness In
two or three days , butilt grows on me as I
meet the old bojn and they say "nice fellows
to nuke a rallroid platform , " and "great
scheme to run n free silver man for senator
on a. gold platform , " The leaders have of
fended the wrong crowd this time to heal
the wounds In time for the general round-up.
IinnrtON , Neb. . Sept 7. The action of
the late state republican conventl-n Is not
approved In ( his locality by many ot the
leading men in the party , as every one
knows the convention was in the hands of
the railroads , vho dictated the men to be
nominated. Your correspondent has UID
opinions of a number of leading antimonopoly -
monopoly republicans. Some believe that
tin only way to relieve the people ot wrongs
Imposed by railroad power Is government
control of ell railroads and telegraph lines.
Others believe In the abolishment ot the
annual or lilp pass system , and to make-
the Infraction a heavy fine for the railroad
as well as'the acceptor. Others say the only
way to get relief Is to have the leading
papers take the position The Bee has taken
In this connection. , "
LOOMTS , Ntb , Aug. 28 As to the best
method for defeating the election of Tom
Majors , In my opinion , nn an'tl-nionopoly re
publican ticket In the n Id'woulU mean h s sure
defeat. I don't think that the independent
republican ticket could be , elected , but
Majors would be defeated. ' M. A. V.

CALDWELL , Neb. , Aug. % S. l am much
pleased with the stand which ) you have taken
against Tom Majors and the railroad czar.
I have voted the republleAn-llcltet for thirty
years , but now I bolliveV\hai It would be
best for the people to down the railroads
for a while by electing art Independent for
governor. R. J.
LONG PINE , Neb , Aug 27. Complying
with your request , as printed In The Bee , 1
take this opportunity to say that I heartily
approve of your course and conduct In the
matter of Majors. We are republicans up
here , but it goes against the grain ant
down our throats awful hard to swallow such
disreputable men as Tom Majors. B. D. J.
NORTH 'PLATTD. Neb. Aug. 31. It Is
very evident that Tom Majors Is not appre
ciated as he might bo by republicans of Lin
coln county. The action of the Lincoln
county contingent to the state convention In
voting solidly for Majors has occasioned any
amount of criticism , as It was freely con
ceded that the rank and file of the party
favored MacColl for governor , even though
the home candidate for secretary of state
was sacrificed thereby. But the delegation
came home Inglorlously , with Majors to their
discredit and nothing on the other side to
'balance the political ledger. And so the
tnutterlngs are deep and angry. In fact
about the only people who are satisfied are
the delegates themselves. M. S. P.

The most thrilling rescue at Atlantic City ,
N. J. , this season was that effected by
Life Guard Peak on the afternoon of the 5th ,
when ho saved the life of Henry S. Morebach
of Philadelphia , and In so doing narrowly
escaped becoming a victim ol the waves.
Peak and his colleague In the service.
Guard Derge , have chaige ot the popular
bathing district In the vicinity ol South Carolina )

drav.-n to Mr. Morebach's peril through le
calls of another bather , whose strength is
falling and his life In jeopardy.
Without a second's h 5\tatlon and with rare
good Judgment , Peak , Vlth a circular life
toe
buoy , plunged forwarOTlo the double rescue
while Guard Berge prayriT out the line and
idr.
held himself for Instant [ service In the water.
Peak , swimming swiftly ) reached the nearest
and apparently the wdakcst of the two Im
periled bathers , who Was rlr. Uerth , a De

ashore , where Guard 'Barge brought him In

Peak again went lrj.t'o'fhe breakers , this

ot considerable avoiiMup&ti , and gave iaes

At this juncture two of the guards frorr
