The Increase of the canon of diphtheria has

The peculiarly fatal and malignant character
of the disease In iho cases that have proven
fatal ban not given the physicians time to

The work of seining out nnd destroying
the fish In Lakti Manawa Is about complete.
If there are .iny fish remaining In the lake
they huvo only escaped because they wcro
small enough to slip through the meshes
of the scores of nets and traps that arc
icilturcd nil over the lake. Everybody who
cares to and can get a seine Is sulnlng In
Mannwa. A few fishermen too lazy to drag
R net through the water have resorted to
the expedient of exploding dynamlto
cartridges beneath the surface. The cx-
ploolon of ono half-pound dynamlto car
tridge kills everything within a radius of
100 feet. But the flsh have been too nearly
exterminated to render oven this kind of
fishing profitable , although a djunmito
cartridge ouly costs 7V6 cunts.
Of course It Is In violation of the state
fishery laws , hut that makes no difference.
Seining Is In violation of the laW also ,
but nobody objects. The point has been
reached whcro It Is no longer necessary to
object to preserve the flsh , for there arc no
flsh to preserve. They have been seined ,
dynamited , poisoned and destroyed In every
available manucr. There was once a time
when It was thought worth while to pro
tect the waters of Lake Manawa. There
was a belief that the lake could be made a
great plcasuto resort , and there was a
suspicion that real fishermen who love to
capture a game flsh with a single hook and
line would come to the lake If the fish
wcro there. People who believed this In
duced the state and national flsh commls-
-sloncrs to stock the lake with the choicest
game fish which would thrive In the waters.
That was several years ago , and by this
time there should have been thousands of
fish In the lake. Hut the dynamiters and
the seiners put the effectual veto upon the
whole thing , and now nothing but a few
miserable scared and scarred croppies and
bullheads remain as Inhabitants of the great
body of deep clear water. The seiners arc
still at work and they will not stop until
the croppies and bullheads have also been
exterminated.

Vcd-rmiK Hold n Itfccptlon for Palmer
mill lliu-Um-r After tin.Mppllnir. .
Ono of the most touching Incidents of the
visit of General Palmer and General Iluck-
ticr hero Monday occurred shortly before
midnight after thu great meeting at the
opera houec. The veterans had all assem
bled In the corridor of the Grand hotel
whcro an Informal reception was held. U
was ono of the most Impressive gather
ings of the campaign. If anything , General
Iluckncr was the more In favor. Ho Is a
typical southern gentleman and ho was the
center of a largo and Interesting group.
The veterans had planned a plcansant sur
prise for him. When the reception was at
Its height General Iluckncr was asked to
step forward and ho was promptly met by
Dr. Thomas , who on behalf of the union
soldiers presented htm with a bright silk
American Hag , Dr. Thomas , In presenting
the token of unity , said :
General Uuckner : I am selected from
among this large company of old soldlcm ,
who have como hero tonight to extend to
vou our urectlnus nnd to assure you of
our friendship and esteem. Wo all remem
ber how bravo you wcro when you wore
the uniform of a cnnfcilorato otllcer. Wo
remember also how lovingly you stood
with uncovered bead at the bier of our old
commander. If there had been any III
feeling In our in I mis agalnbt you then ,
you have washed It all away with the
tcarn you shc-d nt the tomb of General
Grant. I unsure you , my dear general , wo
all entertain the warmest affection for you
and the boys who fought under you. In the
naniu of my old comrades , I present you
this emblem of our reunited country.
General Iluclu.cr responded with much
emotion oa he took the flag from Dr.
Thomas. Ha Is at his best when talking to
old soldiers , and there was many a moist
eye In the crowd of veterans as he thanked
them for the broad and generous senti
ment that this presentation of the flag ex
pressed. The high respect and kindliness
shown In this presentation. General Iluck-
ner said , he valued far above any honor that
had been shown him during the entire cam
paign.
When most of the veterans had gone homo
a choice circle of admirers gathered around
the old general and he regaled them with
his great fund of good sorlcs. However at
tractive General Duckncr may bo In a public
addrcsa or In responding to such a senti
ment as expressed In the prescnthtlon of the
flag ho eclipsed everything when ho began
his story telling. HU llow of language and
the proper presentation of the climax of the
story charmed his hearers and It was long
past midnight when the company dispersed.

The ease was to have been heard In the

notified thi ) city officers that ho would ask
for a change of venue. This will prob
ably take the case to Justice Cook and will
delay the hearing. In the meantime the

a big valise and a pocket full of money.
Hu reached Omaha on one of the early trains
ycstcrda } morning and came across the
river after a brief wait at the station.
When ho reached the transfer depot on
this side ho IcarncU that ho had several
hours to wait. Ho checked his black grip
and then started up town In company with
a man who had made himself very enter
taining for half an hour. After they had
gone a block or two Elscl saw a cute little
brass padlock lying on the sidewalk Just
at the Instant that his companion bent for
ward to pick It up. The man examined It
with the usual Interest and soon "discov
ered" the combination by which It was
opened and explained It all to Elscl.
Shortly afterward another man Joined Elsel
and his agrceablo companion. The padlock
was shown and discussed < and the bets made ,
but EUcl solemnly averred that ho did not
blto on the dead sure proposition of win
ning the stranger's money. Ho says he told
the two fellows to go to Texas and came
on up town and reported the affair to the
first policeman ho met.
A couple of men who answered the de
scription In every detail were captured and
taken to the station. One of them had
two coats and two pairs of pants , and on
the way to the station the officers learned
that ho had been making Ineffectual at
tempts to pawn the overcoat , which was
nearly new and hid evidently been stolen.
This was sufficient to hold him for further
Investigation. The other man was relieved
of n largo loaded revolver. Elsel was
brought to .tho station , but was positive the
men wcro not the padlock gentlemen. Both
will be held until their antecedents can bo
Inquired Into.

drizzling rain put a damper on what was
calculated to bo the grandest political
demonstration southern California had ever
known , The Business Men's Sound Money
league had made most elaborate prepara
tions for "Tom Ilecd day. " Thousands of
uniformed men were to have been In the
line of march , and the business portion of
the city had been decorated gorgeously with
pine boughs , palm leaves and American
flags. The rain made the attcmpta at deco
ration dismal failures , and the great crowds
that came on special trains from all parts
of California were forced to seek the shel
ter of hallways and awnings , while only
the most enthusiastic , could bo Induced to
take to the mud and join the proccssIuTi.
The parade was Imposing only because of
great numbers. Gorgeous uniforms were
concealed under rubber coats and dampened
plumes hung limply below umbrellas.
Mr. Heed was met at San Bernardino by a
committee of business men and brought to
this city on a special train. A carriage
drawn by four cream colored horses with
yellow trappings and smothered In yellow
chrysanthemums was In waiting , and In It
the distinguished visitor was taken to the

the parade was joined.

JKFFKUSON , la , , Oct. S7.-Speclal.-Tho { )
word has gone out among the workers for
free silver that Dolllver must bo defeated
In this , the Tenth congressional district ,
and every energy will bend to accomplish
this end , The principal weapon used to
defeat Uolllver will bo the claim that ho
Is merely a tool of Wall street. Free sil
ver leaders also expect to profit by repub
lican over confidence , nnd the size of his
Plurality two years ago. This piece of In
formation was unintentionally let out by
ono of the leaders of the party In this
county , from whom It was learned that
the free silver men expect to carry seven
out of the cloven congressional districts In
the state. Four years ago Dolllvcr's oppo
nent was Ilyan of Webster county , and the
latter was defeated by about 5,000 plurality.
At that time 39,000 votes. In round numbers
were polled In the district , of which Dol-
liver received 22,000 ami Ilyan 17,000. A
hard fight was made , and approximately the
full poll was brought out. In 1894 Dolllver
was opposed by Uakcr , a man absolutely
unknown , residing In the extreme northern
part of the district , nnd only about 35 000
votes were polled , of which Dolllver had
approximately 24,000 and Hakcr 11,000 giv
ing Dolllvcr a plurality of 13,000. It will
bo noticed , however , that ho polled only
2,000 votes more than In 1S92 , while the
democratic vote fell off 0,000. As the voting
population was unquestionably Increased
during those two years , It Is reasonable to
suppose that fully 5,000 democrats failed to
vote In 1894.
The free silver people arc banking upon
the proposition that republicans are laying
back on that 14,000 plurality of two years
ago , and feel secure that Dolllvcr cannot
bo defeated. In this supposition they are
to quite nn extent right. It has been the
common talk that Uolllver was all right !
that ho was elected two years ago by 14.000
plurality , and that Itomnns might as well
remain at homo and save his campaign
expenses. Mr. Dolllvcr. personally , docs
not look at the matter this" way. He Is fully
aware that the conditionsIn , 1894 were par
ticularly advantageous to him ; that he was
opposed by an unknow.n man , and that he
has no such walk-away this fall.
The one thing that may be sot down as t
political certainty Isthat every vote will be
polled on the 3d of November. There will
bo no stay-at-homes. The man who Is
apathetic upon the financial question In this
campaign Is nn unknown quantity , so far
as this section Is concerned , and If there
were any such excuses , as dis
tance or business engagements , they
would not avail < o satisfy his
commlttccman. Conveyance would be
furnished nnd msans of ovcrpomlng other
difficulties would bo Immediately found
The side that wins In this campaign will
accomplish the victory upon Its merits , sc
far as the development of the full votlnf
strength Is concerned.
WHAT THR VOTK felloGLD BH.
It Is safe to assume that fully 45,000 voter
will bo cast In this Tenth-'district. ; Of this
number Mr. Dolllvcr's rfo'rmal vote wonlC
be about 25,000 , nnd Mr. Romans' 17,000
The populist vote under similar condition !
would approximate 3,000. Complete fusloc
has been effected , Ilomans > having been en
dorscd by the populists and blmctalllsts
giving him the solid support'of every cle
ment except the sound , money rcpubllcant
and democrats. The drawing pf party line :
In an ordinary contest would clve Mr. Del
liver from 6,000 to' 0,000 'plurality ' , but thlt
condition docs not exist this fall , and cvci
the opinion of the best poitcd politicians Ir
the district as Jo tin- extent of free sllvci
republican and sound niom-y democratic dis
affection , Is very uncertain. This Is con
clusively shown by the wldo range of esti
mates made by cominltteemeii In the re
publican and democratic parties. Even In
wards and precincts It Is utterly out of the
question for commlttccmen to arrive at
anything like n sure conclusion. Voters arc
not only exceedingly rctlctnt aljout express
ing themselves , but In a good many cases
their assertion Is not to be taken as posi
tive evidence that they will vote as they
talk. The fact of the nutter Isthat It Is
not unusual to find men who talk ono way
to onn person and another way to 4ho next
Individual they meet. Then there Is an
other class that Is BO lightly perched on
the fence that one day they are for free
silver and the next day for sound money.
As a result the conservative committeeman -
man has a longer list under the head
"doubtful" than under the head "sure. "
In every precinct this claos Is largo enough
to throw the balance In favor of cither side
by a large majority.
Mr. Dolllver has tlio advantage In the
congressional race ; not only In point of
normal plurality , but from the standpoint of
prohablo results and general Indications.
Ho has served -the district four ternis , and
during that time has applied himself with
more than customary diligence In taking
care of his constituents and attending
promptly to all matters brought before him.
Ho Is very .popular with the farmers , as
well as the politicians , and has. a clean
record. Dolllvcr Is a shrewd campaigner.
This fall bo Is making a thorough school
district canvass , covering * some of the
ground twice , njid Is Iqoklng very closely
after his fences.
ROMANS ALSO A REPUBLICAN.
J. B. Romans , the fusion candidate. Is a
wealthy business man of Denlson , and per
sonally above reproach. Ho Is a protec
tionist of the rankest sort , and a most un
compromising republican upon every point
except that of finance. His nomination
was clearly a bid for the free sliver repub
lican vote , and It Is believed the efforts of
the party will bo concentrated to elect him.
Ho Is confident , himself , of success , claiming
that a change of twelve " ! votes In each pre
cinct In his favor will "defeat his opponent ,
ami says ho has knowledge of precincts that
will show gains of four times this number.
However , well-informed republicans In
Crawford , his own county , say Romans will
not gain votes there. The canvass In Car
roll county clearly shows that the demo
crats , who have had It all their own way
there for years , on account of the pre
ponderance of the German population , will
lese several hundred vo es , „ The Germans
are largely for sound money. In this
( Greene ) county , an cxtrctnefy conservative
estimate will not decrease Dolllvcr's plural
ity , and In Wpbster , Hamilton and Calhoun
reports Indicate a gain for , , Polllver. In the
northern roUiUles , comprising Hancork. Kng-
Mlth. Palo Alto , Humltoldt and Porahonlas.
It will not he surprising It Romans mnkrn
slight gains , and also In lloone , which has
a large mining population.
The vote of sound money democrat * will
to quite an extent determine the ultimate
result. H they vote for Dolllver there can
be little doubt but that he will be elected.
If they vote for Palmer and Iluckncr nnd
leave the congressional spare blank Romans
may r.oy enough free silver Jcpubllcan
votes to let him In , but the chances arc
against him. In this county the probability
Is that sound money democrats will vote for
Dolllvcr and McKlnley.
Republicans who have made n study of
the situation , and In whose judgment much
confidence can be placed , give Dolllvcr from
4,000 to 0,000 plurality. Democratic lead
ers who adhere to the opinion that Romans
will win , are unwilling to give figures , but
say the latter will have a slight plurality.

NEW YORK , Oct. 27-T-Garrett A. Hobart

was able to speak. He said :
"We have men with us of the highest char
acter , whom you respect , whom we re
spect , as democrats , as men whom we have
been acucstomod to flght nil our political
lives. I rejoice with you because the better
part of thn democratic party Is composed
of men who have patriotism enough to
stand with us and aid us In this campaign.
They arc with us because of the assault
on the courts , because they are In favor
of honest money and law and order , not be
cause they are republicans , but because
they are liberty-loving , God-fearing citi
zens of our republic. "
Governor Grlggs also made a brief speech.

CHICAGO , Oct. 27. G. P. Wnshburnc of
the populist national committee , who has
returned from Georgia , declares In an Inter
view that all fusion negotiations between
Senator Jones and himself arc off. He
said : "There wcro a few states where
fusion was pending and wo were trying to
contummato arrangements. While wo were
arranging these matters It was flatbed over
the wires that the Georgia and Tennessee
democrats hud rejected the overtures made
by the populists and adjourned without mak
ing a counter proposition. As these two
states were Involved In our arrangements
this action rendered It Impossible for us
to continue negotiations. They wcro
broken off and a conference arranged with
Mr. nU'tso'i and Mr. Reed at Nashville
that I might report to them the facts of
iho case.
"Tho responsibility of all this must rest
squarely upon the Georgia and Tennessco
democracy. They seemed more anxious ( o
beat the populists than to elect Bryan , and ,
whatever the results , the odium of their
unpatriotic action must rest upon them. In
all justice to Senator Jones I must say that
from the beginning he has been eager to
remove all complications nnd effect an
equitable fusion In every state and thus
unite all the silver forces for Bryan and
victory. " _
