SQUEBZING YORK COUNTY FARMERS.
A story comes from York concerning a re-
cci.t traiibactlon of leasing certain school
land In York county to Fred Archeard. an
employe of the state auditor's otllce , by Land
Commlsioner Wolfe , by which a number of
hard working farmers will be deprived of
their homes , which has created considerable
common t and no little Indlgnatlou exists.
Even the reformers do not Indorse It , and
In last week's Teller , a reform paper pub
lished at York by M. C. Fiank , the follow
ing comment was made :
We Sire not In a very pious frame of
mind about the school land deal In York
county. Peter Hlebert of Henderson Imd
the money to pay up on his lease , but
there wan an nrror In the ns-lir.iment to
him and 1m wanted a now lease so the
defect would bt ! cured. Thu old lease was
canceled . .Mid tlie land offered according
to law. Frt\l Archeard made Mr. Hlcbert
oay $30 for his own home. A lawyer would
.mve made It nl' ' right for $3 nd a re
former makes hl.n pay $30. Fred hud a
right to bid. Of course ho had a right to
bill. Any bank has m right to charge 2 pur
cent n month and collect It If no one kicks.
Wo kick and the woods are full of kickers
because Frtd Archeard exercised his right
to bid and made Peter Hlabcrt , a hardworking
working- farmer , pay $30 tor hla own land.
Jacob Welch , Hurry Guo and Stephen Hells
were bcliliui on their lenais two years.
We have seen men behind two and three
years In their payments to loan com
panies. The company sent nn agent to
York ufter writing- the farmer to meet the
agent on a certain day. If then the farmer
did not come the agent under instruction
of his company hired a rig and went to
Bee the farmer , who was ashamed to come
In and be ( ? for moro time. In nine cases
out of ten arrangements for extensions
were made. Is tbo great state of Nebraska ,
under the management of J. V. Wolfe ,
harder hearted than tlie loan companies
ho howls about ? Say what you please nbaut
rights , thd fact remains that Jacob Welch ,
Harry GUP and Steve Rolls have lost their
farms and Fred Archeard , who Is at Lin
coln and draws a good salary from these
people , has three of the same people's
farms , He will pay the state 12 cents an
aero i year for the land and rent for $2
per ) aero nnd maVe what lie can by sellliifT
the lenses. On the 2CO acres he will pay
the- state $1X.70 ) and receive $400 nnd Iio taxrs
to pnv Of course the state sets the $30
TIr. HIebcrt had to pay. The statu
of Nebni'ka cannot afford to be harder and
moaner than loan companies nnd collectors.
* It is not right for a state otllcer to
follow another state otllcer and take the
home.s from some of the j.eoplo who help
to pay that ollleer's salary. The pops , derti-
ocratH and silver republicans will not de
fend Mr. Archeard. You will soon find out
thnt there is no one too poor for us to de
fend or too rich for us to roast.

WEEPING WATER , Nol > . , Oct. 13. ( Spe
cial. ) The question has been raised In this
county as to whether the free silver repub-
icans arc entitled to a place on the county
Ickct. When the triple alliance was formed
n this city and county In August hardly a
lozen of the silver republicans were In the
convention. It is safe to nay there is not a
: otal of fifty In the county , and under the
aw it la thought they cannot be represented
on the ticket. It seems they have now
ibandoned the convention that was held hero
and held another and a secret ono at Platts-
mouth , which they claim complies with the
avbut as silver republicans are scarce
Ihero It Is thought that If proper steps are
taken they can and should be prevented froth
ippcarlng on the ticket The fusion candi
date for county Judge Is the ono that will
be affected If the party Is not represented.

NEW YORK , Oct. 13. EvanBollna Cosslo
y Clsncroa , who recently escaped from a
Spanish prison In Cuba , was a passenger on
the steamer Seneca , which arrived today
from Havana. At quarantine Miss Cls-
ncros asked to be excused from saying any
thing about her Imprisonment and escape , as
she was not yet recovered from sea sickness ,
from which she had suffered during the entire -
tire passage and which kept her In her state
room during the whole voyagu. On the
passenger list she was registered as Miss
Juana Sola. She was traveling under the
care of a gentleman who accompanied her
from Havana. When the Seneca reached
quarantiuo the towboat J. Lehman , with sov-
cial newspaper representatives and four
women on board , wcntalongslde _ the steamer ,
and after the health olllcer's Inspection was
over they went on board and accompanied
-Miss Clsneros to this city.
Upon landing the party took carriages to
thu Hotel Waldorf and were assigned to
rooms on the second floor. While Senorlta
Clsncros was fatigued , she appeared to bo In
the very best of spirits and exultant ever
her arrival In America. She docs not speak
EngHsh , but her face Is very expressive , and
she seemed to Intuitively understand the
questions put to her and answered In Span
ish , The senorlta retired as soon as she
reached the hotel and refused to bo seen.
Among her party was Mrs. J. Ellen Foster
of Washington , president of the National
Woman's Republican association.
Miss CIsneros' escape on the Seneca was
ono of the most daring feats ever attempted
and succsisfully carried out. While she was
still In prison her friends secured a pass
port for ono "Juan Sola" and stateroom No. 3
ott thu Seneca was held In the same name.
This was three days before the boat sailed.
On the Saturday , when the Seneca was to
leave Havana , detectives watched Its gang
ways with extra caution. All day long they
remained at their post , examining the pass
ports which all passengers have to show be
fore leaving Havana. Their vigilance would
probably have prevented the departure of
Miss CIsneros from Cuba had It not been
for a llttlo refreshment which was served
them by friends of Miss CIsneros who were
aboard the Seneca. The refreshment Included
wine. The chief of police of Havana caino
aboard while the refreshment part of the
plot was In progrccB and It is alleged that he ,
too , fell a victim of the wiles of the Cleheros
faction.
A few minutes before the Seneca was
icady to pull out from the dock , a slim young
fellow came running across the wharf. Ho
had no baggage and was fashionably dressed.
Ho walked quickly up the gangplank. The
detectives stopped him.
PASSES THE DETECTIVES.
"My name Is Juan Sola , " ho said , and ho
showed his passport. Everything was sat
isfactory , so the- senor was allowed to go
aboard. It Is said that if it had not been
for the wine the strange treble and rather
curious figure of Senor Sola might have
excited the suspicions of the Spanish de
tectives. But the scheme worked success
fully. Miss CIsneros' friends , when they
saw that everything was satisfactory , disem
barked and watched the ship pull slowly out
under the frowning Spanish guns , carrying
the fugitive to safety under the stars and
stripes.
Miss Clsneroa did not court deagcr any
more than was necessary , and at Snco went )
to her cabin. The next day , however , whea
Morro Oastlo was left far behind , she ap
peared on deck , transformed into Senorlta
Juana Sola , alias Cosslo y CIsneros , and
dressed in a becoming red gowoi.
Captain Stevens , commander of the Seneca ,
was angry when he discussed the CIsneros
Incident with the reporters , and said :
"Since the commencement of the present
Insurrection It has been the custom of the
Spanish authorities to post a couple of dsn
tectlves nt the head of the gangway of
ships lying at Havana. Wo arrived at C a.
m. on Saturday and left at 8 p. m. , durlnj
which time the detectives did not leave the
head of the gangplank. Just before the
Seneca Balled , the chief of police , his deputy
and his secretary came aboard. Senorlta

Clsncros had escaped two days previously
and yet they asked no questions and niado
no search for her , although upon three
former occasions they had searched the
Seneca from stem to stem while looking
for suspects. "
Captain Stevens eald thnt to the hest ot
his ItnowledRO , the only persons who went
aboard at Havana were the Lnstlo family , the
Dal Keel family , eight Chinamen and a man
whoso name appeared upon the advanced
passenger list as Juan Sola , mid who must
have had a passport , otherwise ho could not
have gone ahoard. When It was discovered
that "Juan Sola" was a girl the "Jtian" was
changed to "Juana" and Miss Claneros came

Miss Clsncros at the table during the voy

prayed devoutly. Mr. Stewart said ho found
the rescued Cuban a moot pleasant compan
