PV LINCOLN , Nov. 0. ( Special. ) With to
D night the actlvo work of the republican
state committed Is practically finished , the
only thing remaining to 1e done being to
gel a full vote to the polls. This part of
the work must be done by the committeemen -
men nnd prominent workers In the various
counties , and there Is every assurance that
it will bo well done. Nous from over the
elate continues to be of the moat encourag
ing nature , and In every county there Is
on Indication that a slump In favor of the
republican party Is going on. How c\ten-
ulvo this Is no person can tell , and at both
the republican and fusion headquarters the
admission is made that the majority In
Douglas county Is likely to bo the majority
for the whole state. The varied claims that
come from that county leave llttlo upon
which to form a conclusion , and the elec
tion will be In doubt right up to tbo time
of counting tbo votes.
The fuslonlsts have experienced a disa
greeable surprise on the Qleservo bond mat
ter , and they can flguru no way to coun
teract the damaging report made by the
non-partisan committee from Pawnee county
except to make a savage attack on the per-
eons composing the committee. The friends
of Meeerve were resting secure In the belief
that It was too late to Investigate the bond
nnd that -Mpsorvc's bluff would not be called.
Meserve himself had designated n commit
tee of bankers , who were under obligations
to him , to oxuuilno into the bond , well
knowing that no such committee would be
ngrtfd to , but he did not look for action
coming from the "common people" of n
rural county. The vvorthlessness of the
bond la shown up bcforo the public , nnd
thcro It ) no help for It. Since the Investiga
tion Auditor Cornell has been heard to say
that "tho giving of n bond Is a farce any
way. You can't collect anything on any of
the bonds. " It Is prohablo that Mescrve
will fall back on this same excuse , now that
the damage Is done.

At Table Rock last Thursday night Can
didate Mauahan had a crowd gathered to
gether In the opera house nnd was tolling
the reasons why ho wanted to bo elected to
congress Ho had Just heard that three
citizens of the town had gene to Lincoln
to examlno the Mestrvo bond , and took oc
casion to lambaste them for going on such
a mission The high standing of the mem
bers of the Investigating committee In the
community was proof against , the attack of
f Manahan The people of Table Rock had
known two of the commlttcemen for over
thirty years , nnd the other ono over since
he was a llttlo hey , and they did not take
kindly to tuo Idea of a stranger comlnp
them to slander old citizens. The Ill-ad-
vlsed attack test the fusion party n number
of votes In that locality , and when Manahan
learned of his mistake ho went away \cr >
tired Indeed. The people of Pawnee county ,
without rcgaid to politics , will stand by tht >
report of that Investigating committee , nnd
will resent any attack that lu made on the
members.
The fusion managers made a great parade
of offering a largo reward for the detection
of any railroad company Issuing transporta
tion to any person In the Interests of the
coming election. Within an hour after the
' publication of the notice the lallroad head
quarters were-besieged by a umber of fusion ,
ists who wanted trip i < asse5 , and all day
yesterday there was a great demand for
transportation made by the fusion gang.
H seems that almost every individual mem
ber of the fusion party tried to earn the
promised reward , and that the reform mnn.
agcrs themselves made a trj or two for the
prize.
During the prenent campaign State Su
perintendent Jackson has for the most parl
made n dignified canvass , but he has beer
guilty of ono pleco of work that smacks ol
the demagogue. Ho made n play for tht
church vote , und fccnt letters to all the
Methodist preachers asking for their sup
port because ha was a Methodist. This
was the principal reason advanced why he
fthould have a re-election. In the meantime
J. r. Sa > lor has been gaining votes all ovei
the state because ho is known to bo on )
of the best educ.atois In the west , a quail-
flcatton that Is necessary for a man whc
expects to fill thn ofilce with credit.

Down In Nemaha county the republicans
are putting up a strong fight against the
free pass brigade and as a consequence
popocratlo speakers often have embarrassing
questions to answer. D. N Jones of that
county waa a member of the last fusion
legislature and waa renomtnat"d He started
his campaign by announcing that while ho i
carried a pass during the session he charged
the state nothing for mileage The republicans - ]
ans gent to Lincoln and got a copy of the ,
ofllclal report Issued by the auditor , which
honed that Jones not only took mileage but
10 stretched the distance several miles In
rdcr to make the amount larger when ho
Irew bis voucher. This call-down did not
nd Jones' grief on the pass question. The
ither night whllo he was holding forth In a
ountry school house to a considerable crowd
a man rose up In the audience nnd said
"Say , Mr. Jones , I want to ask jou a
question. "
"All right , go ahead , " said Jones , as he
troked his whiskers in a belt-satisfied sort
if way
"I want to know , " said the man In the
iiidlenco , "If It Is true that all you fellows
vho have offices , from governor down to
eprescntatlvo , are riding on railroad
passes ? "
Jones tried to evade the question , but the
nqulrcr Insisted on an answer and the old
armers In the audience also hinted that they
would llko to know about the same thins.
So Candidate Jones admitted that all the
officials had passes. He said the railroads
offered them without being asked and out of
courtesy the olllcials could not do other-
vise than take them. The man who asked the
question and who turned out to be and old-
Ine populist said in a disgusted sort of way ,
'Then I don't see that jou are a d d bit
better than the republicans. " This had such
a bad effect on the meeting that an early
adjournment was taken. The Incident Is
only a sample of what Is taking place In
many counties where the people have found
out that the sham reformers have made hogs
of themselves In the consumption of free
passes.

Burglars are still doing a very successful

were taken and about $100 worth of flue
'raveling ' bags , shopping bags and other
leather gooila It is supposed that the work
was done early In the evening before the

dressed COO residents of Tails City and Rich

People came from Humboldt , Salem and
Daw son to listen to htm He was preceded
by two soldiers , who related their experi
ences In the south They were Introduced
by Kills Lewis , who presided at the meet-
In-
Mr Mclklejohn'it address was non-partisan
and was llctened to In a manner that In
spired him to do his best He pleaded for a
calm consideration of the questlous being
discussed by the different parties. The
many farmers present wcro deeply Inter
ested at his reference to their avocations.
He said
"Compare the conditions of our country
during the last fiscal year of the McKlnloy
administration with that of the last fiscal
year of the Cleveland administration. Our
total Imports wore 4616,000,000 , as against
$784,000,000 , a decrease under the present
administration of $148,000,000 The total
agricultural exports were $810,000,000 , as
against ? CS3,000,000 , or an Increase of $171-
000,000 The Increase In exports of pork , i j
Including bacon , lard and bams , was $21-
000,000wheat. . $68,000,000 ; cattle , $2,000,000.
The total exports of all kinds were $1,200-
000,000 , as against $1,032,000,000 , or an In-
crcaso of $178,000,000. The increase of our
total exports Is but $7,000,000 inoie than the
Increase of agricultural exports , clearly Indi
cating that the increase In our exports came
from the farm. The price of wheat was 66
cents , as against 68 cents , the prlco of corn
was 30 cents , as against 23 cents ; the prlco
of oats Avas 22 cents , as against 18 cents "
He told of how so many had sought to poison
labor against wealth. There had never been
a tlmo In the history of the nation when the
strldo fiom depression to prosperity In tha
same length of time had been so great , not
withstanding a war which had drawn so
heavily on national resources. Factories
have been operated to their utmost capacity ,
capital hao been Invested In new enterprises ,
values have risen , the tendency of prices on
agricultural products has been upward , In-
cumbrances on farms liquidated , fortunes
lost In the paral > sls and disaster In the
last administration have been practically re
trieved and evidences nro on every hand of
material resurrection and national prosper
ity. In closing ho said-
This Is the record of the present admin
istration as compared with the past. When
jou select a piofesslon jou do It with a
hope of reward. When you Invest jour turn
ings , you do It with a hope of gain. When
you venture in a business enterprise , it is
w'lth a belief In its success. Every move
that man makes Is for material advance
ment. If vou can seturo gain or reward for
which jou select a piofcsslun , make flu In
vestment or enter unon a business career
by supporting the principles and policies of
a partj- . the establishment of which will
favor you with such gain and rowaid ,
through the prosperity of your countrj- , why
should jou not glvo the tame care , atten

such principles and policies as jou give to

business9 Tbo llvlnc evidences of a return

BEATRICE , Nob. . Nov G. ( Special Tele
gram. ) One of the smoothest confidence-
men \vbo ever visited Beatrice operated
hero today. Ho came In last night on the
Union Pacific and registered nt the Paddock
hotel BB Paul C. Mooncy , Chicago. Ho hart
no baggage , but Rave the clerk n check
which ho said was lor his grip. The hotel
people are still looking for It
This forenoon ho entered the Beatrice Na
tional bank and presented a check tot $2f >
drawn on the Tlrst National bank of Coliun.
bus , Neb , signed Paul Moono.v When asked
to bo Identified ho asked If Ilev. 0. II. Dud
ley'o endorsement would bo sufficient and
receiving an affirmative reply returned soon
after , accompanied by Mr. Dudley , who said
Mooney was nil right and endorsed thi <
check. Two hours later Mr. Dudley mot
George Arkw right , a Jeweler , on the street
and the latter remarked that h # had cashed
a $50 check tor a man named Mooney with
his ( Uudlej's ) endorsement. Mr. Dudley
had not endorsed the check and In an in
stant It dawned on him that ho had boon
taken In. Not many minutes later a dozen
people wcro looking for Mooncy.
The fellow Is smooth. When ho first en
tered Arkwrlght's store he presented the
chock and Arkwrlght told him he got caught
on a forged check a few weeks ago and was
fighting ahy of strangers. Mooney said he
could get Mr. Dudley's endorsement nnd
going out returned with the minister's name
forged on the back. He then bought a din
tnond ring , got $3 In change , and departed
Going to Lester's barn ho got a horse ami
buggy to drive about town Tonight the
rig was found at Virginia , fifteen miles eist
of hero , whcro Mooncy had driven , nnd
where ho boarded a Rock Hand freight
train. Ho was afterward seen at Pawne&
City.
Knully Taken In.
The manner In which Mr. Dudley was
taken In Is Interesting. Mooney called on
him at his study , Introduced himself and
deposited a church letter purporting to com * ,
from the Prcsbjtcrlnn church at Columbus
He said he had Just removed here , wanted
to Join Mr. Dudlej'i church and asked to
have the letter rend In church tomorrow.
He was n total stranger to the minister , but
his whole bearing was one of honesty. Ilia
talk was smooth and It went. Ho Is a man
not o\er 2fi jcars old , a llttlo o\cr five feel
tall , well dre scd , wearing a light overcoat ,
has smooth face. When he left hero l\t \ >
wore n golf cap , but when seen later had
changed to a hat nnd had also changed hi1"
shoes from patent leather to a pair of red
shoes. A hundred police officers In southern
Nebraska and northern Kan as nro hot on
his trail.
It develops that while Moonov was at
Virginia ho played deaf and dumb around
the depot and at the restaurant , where lift
had supper. After returning to the depot
the agent told a story of the deal , which
had meanwhile came In over the wire , to a
brakeman on the trnln In Mooney's presence.
Mooney Jumped on the train as It pulled
out , but got off again after It had left the-
station , and started south.
POLITICS IN BLACK HILLS
CampnlKn 1 * IntercntliiR niul There In
Clone Competition ( or 13 % err
Oilier.
DEADWOOD , S. D , Nov. 5 ( Spechl )
The political campaign In the Black HUH
this fall is as Intfresting as It was two
> ears ago IJvery odlce on both the state
1 and county tickets of each party Is orecelv-
Ing close competition The state tight in the
Hills centers on Kirk Phlllppa for governor
nnd Congressman Know If s for re-election.
I'hlllpps is making his closing speeches in
the Hills towns now and ho Is doing Know lei
up at every place The fact that Know IPS
has unpaid ta\cs in Meade and Lawrence
counties amounting to several hundred dollars
lars and that they havp been marked un-
colleotable , Is being used to a good advant
age against his ro-elrctlon. Another thing
that PhlllpTis uses in his speeches Is the re
cent recommendation of Know leu that his
own son be appointed a cadet at West Point ,
showing that Knowles Is feathering his nest
as far as po = * lble with political gain while
In office Knowles Is said to ha\o repeatedly
made his brags about his leeching passes
from the railroads , and he states that hi
will receive all he can get , and at the same
time hp states In his public speeches that a
railroad pass Is a bribe
Governor Leo Is also death on the rail
roads and their passta , jet ho rides on th <
Burlington piss , Xo 053 and the Elkhort
1 pass No 234. Considerable political galr
' has been made over the visit of Mrs. Lee
nnd daughter to Hot Springs , for treatment
\ It Is stattd , and It has not jet been denied
| that they went to the soldiers' home , belnf
I acquainted with Commandant Linn and hlf
wife , and that the old soldiers were driven
' out of their recreation room on the firs ,
floor to Iho third story of the building , while
the apartments were elegantly furnished al
the expense of the state and there Mrs. Let
and daughter remained for several monthf
taking medical treatment at the state's ex
pense. General Curtis , Inspector of the Sol
diers' homes of the United States , has or
dered Commandant Linn to reimburse iht
state for fitting up the suite of rooms and
for the board of the two women for thret
months of last year nnd several weeks ol
this year. Commandant Linn , It Is said , ha :
as jet not obeyed the order Another tiling
that Is being used agaluat Leo's re-clcctlon
is the fact that he advocates the Idea ol
state publication of text books. This Is beIng -
Ing used to good advantage out In tbo school
districts. A complete change of books nouU
cost about { 2.50 for each pupil , or aboul
{ 287,500 for the school children of the state
It Is a populist scheme. Populist platforn
of 1898 "Resolved. That wo favor the stit :
taking proper steps looking to the publica
tion of all necessary school text books "
Two jears ago Lee was elected govcrnoi
by a plurality of only 219 In that cam
paign , and especially the Black Hills portion
tion , the state was wild for free silver , \\lilcl
with the Increased excitement Incident to n
presidential election , gave the populists s
Email majority. This fall the free ellvei
proposition has been eliminated from the
campaign of the Black Hills. It simmers
down to the question whether or not a feu
populists shall be placed In office. Two yean
ago Knowles haxl a plurality of 200 ovei
i Gamble , while Kelly had a majority of G5 <
over Crawford. Many of the leading men o :
the populists and democrats of the Hill'
concede that the chances of electing any o :
their state officers are pretty slim. Th <
republicans confidently expect that the smai ;
majority that was given the populists Uvc
years ago will bo overcome by the pojullsts
democrats and free silver republicans them-
selvM who have changed their views in the
last few weeks and will vote the republican
ticket this fall.
