rit Wrrk,
LINCOLN', Oct. 22. (Special.) It the
plans of the county central committee are
carried Into effoct President Jucob Gould
Bchurman of Cornell university will de
liver the 'closing address of the republican
campaign In this city on tlio evening of
October 29. The schedule of local speakers
contlnucn until the night before election,
but It Is not probable that there will be any
speaker of national reputation here after
I'rosldtnt Scbutman. The men In charge
of the republican campaign In this county
feel decidedly encouraged over the pros
pects and from now until t ho polls close
on the night of election day they will exert
their efforts toward getting out the full re
publican vote. The fact that Lincoln ami
Lancaster county are normally republican
keeps many republicans away from the
polls here on election day and this Is one
of tho most discouraging factors the man
agers havo had to contend with In tho cam
paigns or the past ten years. This year the
work of organizing was begun early and
tho workers were Impressed with tho Im
portance of getting the people to the polls.
The result of the committee's labors along
this line was shown In the first day's regis
tration last week and It Is believed, not
only by republicans but by people of all
parties, that the vote polled at the forth
coming election will bo one of the largest
In the city's history,
I'lirmrrs Are In llir I'lalit.
Reports received nt the headquarters In
dlcuto that Interest In the election Is not
, confined to the city, but that tho farmers
In tho country precincts are aroused and
Impatient to record their votes. A
thorough poll of Lancaster county shows
gains In every precinct and If all of tho
republicans polled vote on election day the
republican plurality will exceed that of any
election In the past four years. Chair
man Cochrane has devoted special atten
tion to tho work In tho country precincts
and he looks for as good returns from
them as from tho city precincts. Ordi
narily tho country falls a little behind,
but this Is easily explained by the fact
that populliun all over tho atato Is stronger
with tho farmers than with any other class.
It Is on this theory, too, that tho man
agers of the fusion campaign have been
basing tholr efforts In behalf of the fusion
tickets. They have centered their fight on
the leglslatlvcttlckct and are making prac
tically no effort to gain votes for the other
fusion candidates. Poynter's name has not
been mentioned by tho fuslonlsts during
the campaign and It Is conceded now that
he will run far behind the state ticket In
this county. Many of the candidates for
county offices named nt the conventions
subsequently resigned and It was only after
seourjng the county that their places were
filled by the committee. No Lincoln man
could bo induced to accept the fusion nom
ination for county attornoy and to make
the ticket complcto n Hnvelock man was
named for that ofllcc.
Ilrjnti's l.ntv Partner nt Work,
For tho purposo of concentrating all
available forro tho three popocrntlc com
mittees havo been combined into one fusion
committee, whoso work Is directed by
"Tommy"' .Allen, -of tho law Arm of-Talbot,
4Allon & Hrynn. Mr. Allen Ib known as
a personal friend of tho democratic leader
and In matters pertaining to the campaign
he receives ndvico and Instruction from
tho Inttor. .-The fact that Allen la one of
Ilrynn's lieutenants gives him some power
ovor wavering populists and although they
may not vote for tho sfato ticket or the
presidential electors they nevertheless
Union to his appeals for their support for
tho legislatlvo candidates.
In Lincoln thero nro quite a number of
republicans who aspire to a seat In the
United Stntes senate, but tho samo can be
truthfully snld concerning at (east one
man In tho democratic ranks and with
defeat In tho national election as a
probability he Is not only anxious that
thero shall bo a fusion legislature, but
ho wants n fusion delegation from Lan
caster county. Ilrynn's declaration at the
lallflcatlnn after tin Kansas City conven
tion, which was that ho Intended to "stay
In politics until tho last nail was driven
Into his coffin," i's considered hero as a
warning that If he falls In tho national
election bo will at once announce his candi
dacy for United States senator and the
fusion county comraltteo In making Its
campaign with that declaration In mind.
Even with n fUBlon majority Ilryan would
Hand but Httlo chance of election, it Is
argued, without tho support of his own
county. The Lancaster county fuslonisls
renltie thtH and they propose to elect tho
legislatlvo Ucket if It Is posslblo to do so.

Fred Parsons, recently convicted In Lan

liquor without a license and fined $300, has
appealed to tho supremo court on rather
novel grounds. Ho operates a billiard
parlor at Sprague. The evidence In tho
trial showed that ho had In his posses
sion a quantity of Intoxicating liquor. He
contends tho law under which he was con
victed Is unconstitutional for tho reason
that "It. makes the possession of any of
said liquor presumptive evidence of his
guilt nnd throws upon the defendant tho
burden of proving his Innocence."

EX-SENATOR SHERMAN DEAD
(Continued from First Page.
the arrayal of facts, figures and precedent
to give complcto elucidation to a eubjtet.
Ho was regarded as as a guide, rather than
a party leader, for his conservatism, caution
and effective execution Inspired confidence
In any lino of action which he ndvlse-1.
This was particularly true In later years,
when be held a lending place In the senate
on quentlons of finance nnd foreign Affairs.
Amid the most heated arguments and tho
widest differences the entrance of tho
venerable Ohio senator Into the debate was
the signal for a period of calm and dispas
sionate consideration of the serious argu
ments of the case. His appearance tn a
debate was often like the sudden entrance
of the schoolmaster Into a room full of un
ruly pupils.
Not nn Orntor.
Mr. Sherman was not regarded as n great
orator. His forte was more In appealing to
the Judgment, rather than to the emotions,
and carried conviction. He presented the
simple facts, without any attempt at ornate
diction. As a debater be bad few equals.
Of late years he seldom entered Into the
dally discussions on lesser topics, but re
served his efforts for tho greater questions.
The personal appcaranco of Mr. Sherman
added to tho Intellectual forco ho exerted.
He Is well remembered na be appeared on tho
floor of tho senate during tho financial
debates preceding the presidential election of
1896. Ills tall, spare figure was bent slightly
forward over his desk, as, with his Index
finger extended, ho laid down the financial
principles of which he had been so close a
student. During the later months of his
service In the senate Mr. Sherman had a
habit of speaking and then retiring from
the chamber, as though all had been said.
In earlier years ho waa a most attentive
listener, even to the minor routine of the
srnnte, and was most deferential nnd con
siderate of those with whom he differed,
particularly the newcomers.
In private life Mr. Sherman was known
as a shrewd business man, whose habits of
Industry, thrift and oconomy had built up
a large fortune When In this city Mr.
Sherman spent most of tho tlmo In his
library, Immediately to tbo right of the main
entrance and opposlto the drawing room.
Hero he could be found nlmost every day,
sitting In a great leathern chair before a
wide, flat desk of antlquo pattern. The
walls are covered with book", not, however,
tho books of n student or literary man, but
volumes of historical data, governmental
statistics and treatises on public questions
with which his mind had been so long en
gaged. He gave considerable tlmo also to
looking after his largo property Interests.
Mr. Sherman wna well known about tho
streets of Washington. Ho wns fond of
walking and In his later years ho drove al
most every afternoon In a largo open
carriage, accompanied, until her death, by
Mrs. Sherman. Tho tall, straight-lined
stovepipe hat, not of tho Intest design, wns
Invariably worn by him, nnd his drees was
of, that simplicity nnd dignity In keeping
with the character of tho man.
KIiirk nt Half Mnat.
The news of Sherman's death was com
munlcnted to tho State department by E.
J. Babcock, for many years private secretary
and clerk to Sherman In his various
capacities ns secretary of the treasury,
United States senator and secretary of state
and at present private secretary to Secretary
Hay. The president was nt onco Informed
by the department and the flags on tho public
buildings In Washington were lowered to
half mast, so to remain until after the
funeral. The president, ns a special mark
of honor to the deceased,, who wns not nt
the time of his death connected In any
official capacity with tho government of
the United States, resorted to tho unusual
course of personally preparing an expression
of the nations grief in the shape of a
proclamation descriptive of tho personal
qualities and chic abilities of the deceased
statesman.
At the State department also - messago
waB framed to be transmitted In multiple to
the United States ambassadors, ministers
and rharges abroad, officially notifying them
of tho demise of ex-Socrotary BHcrmun. Tbo
depnrtmcnt will bo closed for business dur
ing tho funeral services In order to allow
the officials and employes to attend In per
son.
Ex-Secretary Sherman was known
Intimately, not only officially, but per
sonally, to Secretary of Stato John Hay
ever Blnco the days of the civil war, so
that naturally Mr. Hay was deeply depressed
at the news of the death of his predecessor
In office, even though that event had been
oxpected for the last few days. In com
menting upon tho sad event Secretary Hay
said:
Cnblnet OMccr' Opinion.
"In the death of Mr. Sherman the country
has lost one of Its greatest citizens, a man
whoso namo was Inseparably connected with
all tbo great events and policies of the latter
half of the nineteenth century; a man not
only of extraordinary ability, but of the
most spotless character and one whose
personality, as well aa his work, will al
ways be a model and an Incentive to the
youth of tho country."
The Navy department flag will be half
roasted In respect to Mr. Sherman's memory.
Beyond this there will be no ofllclal action
by this department.
Secretary Long was notified of the death of,
his former colleague after reaching the de
partment. In speaking of tbo event he said:
"I can only express my deep regret and
unlimited respect for Mr. Sherman, lie was
a remarkable man, ono of the eminent
statesmen of this country, and bis name
will be so recorded In history. Tho country
owes him n debt of gratitude for the service
he rendered while secretary of the treasury
In maintaining the national credit on a
sound and conservative basis,"
Secretary Gage said of Secretary Sher
man: "For nearly forty-four years Mr.
Sherman had been a prominent and in
fluential figure in our public life. Wbother
ns n representative, a senator or member
of tho cabinet he was nt all times a
distinctive force. He became secretary of
the treasury at n most trying period. He
had led' the forces tn congress which passed
the resumption net In 1S7I. Aa secretary
of the treasury In 1S77 it becamo his duty
to carry Into effect tho provisions of tho
law ho bad previously In congress dono so
much to enact. In performing this duty he
had many difficulties to meet, but be mot
them with the wise foresight, tho steady
courage and tho calm persistency which the
occasion demanded. History will, I believe,
point to that period ns tho most brilliant
In his career and will recognize that In
bringing back the national treasury to specie
payment ou January I, 189, ha accom
plished tho greatest and most successful
work of hlB long nnd fruitful life."
Secretary of tho Interior Hitchcock said:
"Mr. Sherman's record as a statesman and
patriot will enshrine his memory in the
hearts of the American people and bo nn
Inspiration through successive generations."
Tho news of Secretary Sherman's death
was Immediately communicated to the
president, who had been extremely solicit
ous ns to his former premier's condition.
The last word previous to tho announce
ment of Mr. Sherman's death this morning
hnd been received by the president at mid
night 'last night. Tho president was greatly
affected by tho nows. Ho Immediately di
rected that the White House be closed to
visitors nud the flag over the executive
mansion placed at half-mast. After order
ing some beautiful flowers to bo sent from
the White House conservatory he went In
person to Mr. Sherman's lato residence to
offer what consolation ho could to the
bereaved family. Mrs. McCallura Informed
blm of the provisional funeral arrange
ments and the. president decided not to
dilay bit departure for Canton tonight It
i
they were adhered to, but to attend tho
funeral services at Mansfield on Wednes
day. Mrs. McKlnley later drove to the
Sherman residence and left her card, It is
probable the president will Issue an execu
tive order closing the departments on the
day of the funeral as a mark of respect to
the dead statesman.
The funeral will bo held at the Sherman
residence early Wednesday afternoon. Rev.
Alexander Mackay-Smlth, rector of St.
John's church, officiating. The hour has
not yet been determined, as the railway ar
rangements for transporting the body to
Mansfield, O., depends on a messago from
President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania rail
road, which Is hourly expected. Services
will bo held In Mansfield on Thursday,
which President McKlnley will attend.
It la known that Mr. Sherman left a will,
but no Information as to Its contents or
even when it will be probated will be ob
tainable until after the funeral.

Storj- of Shcrmnn'a Life.
John Sherman was born at Lancaster,
0. , May 10, 1823. Ho was educated at
Howe's academy and was admitted to tho
bar May 11, 1SI4, Ho was married Au
gust 30, 1S48, to Cecilia, .daughter ot
Judge Stewart, at Mansfield, O. Ho was
a delegate to the national whig conven
tions in 1S4S and 1S52.
From December 3, 1855, when he took
his seat in tho houso of representatives
as a member of congress from Ohio, until
April 20, 1893, when ho retired from pub
lic life, he was a man ot prominence In
national affairs. From the first ho was
recognized as n ready and forcible de
bater, particularly in tho ante-bellum
controversies that were at their height
when ho entered congress, His Interest
In all legislation relating to finance was
shown early in his public career and In
the first few years of his servlco in con
gress ho had enunciated tho principle,
now recognized, tbat tho system of mak
ing contracts In advance of appropria
tions was Illegal,
Four years later ho becamo a represent
ative Mr. Sherman was tho candldato ot
tho republicans tor speaker ot the house
and was recognized as tho foremost man
In that body. He was then only 36. Sus
picion on tho part of some ot tho south
ern whlgs that he was an abolitionist
caused his defeat tor the speakership
after ho was within three votes of tho
covotcd place. As chairman of the ways
and means committee ho provided tor the
rehabilitation ot a crippled treasury by
tho Issue of the treasury notes ot 1860,
On March 4, 1861, tho day on which Abra
ham Lincoln was Inaugurated ns presi
dent ot the United States, Mr. Sherman
took his seat ns a senator from Ohio.
Fow people know that ho served as aide-de-camp,
without pay, to General Robert
Patterson during the recess ot congress
and raised a brigade of 2,300 Ohio men,
ltirgely nt his own expense, which was
known through the war as tho Sherman
brigade. Mr. Sherman was In the thickest
of the legislative battles during the war
period and it was largely through his
efforts that the United State notes of
1SC2, Issued nfter tho suspension of speclo
payments, were made legal tender. His
was tho only voice raised In tho sonata
in favor nt the national bank bill and
through bis Influence and that ot Salmon
P. Chase It becamo a law,
Rutherford B, Hayes appointed Mr.
Sherman secretary of tho treasury In
March, 1S77. Under tho law specie pay
ments were to bo redeemed on January
1. 1S70. Before that tlmo Mr. Sherman
had accumulated 150,000,000 lu gold lu the
treasury. When tho republican national
convention met In 1880 Mr. Sherman was
nominated for president by James A. Gar
field, who himself secured tho nomina
tion. In 1881 Mr, Sherman returned to
the senate and served thero continuously
until tho beginning of tho present admin
istration, when ho entered President Mc
Klnley'a cabinet aB secretary of state.
Twice during that time he was a candi
date for his party's nomination for the
presidency and ho was elected president
pro tern ot the senats on the death of
Vice President Hendricks. In his later
senatorial career ho served sj chai.""'
of the committee on foreign relations and
as such was a notable figure In the de
bates on the Hawaiian and Samoan ques
tions. He never lost his Interest In finan
cial affairs and his voice was always
heard whon they were under discussion.
Ho resigned from the senate tn March,
1697, to enter Mr. McKlnley's cabinet and
he took up his now executive duties ap
parently fully equipped to do the hard
wcrk of tho office of secretary of stato In
his accustomed able manner. His heart,
however, never appeared to bo fully In
hts new duties. His ago and tho condi
tion ot his health made It Inevitable thut
ho should leavo the cabinet to tnako way
tor a younger man, better equipped, It
only physically, to perform tho duties
of tho minister ot foreign affairs. Prob
ably Mr. Sherman realized this. At any
rate, Ave days after tho war began ho
tendered hts resignation to President Mc
Klnley and retired to private life.
After the war Mr. Sherman mado a
trip to the West Indies for tho benefit of
hts health and while there contracted
pneumonia. For a tlmo his life wa9 de
spaired ot and onco the report that ho
was dead was circulated nnd believed In
this country. President McKlnley, whoso
personal affection toward tho venerablo
statesman had never changed despite at
tempts mado to estrange them, sent a
war ship to Santiago to bring Mr. Sher
man back to the United States. That act
saved his life. Careful nursing restored
his health, but bo never fully regained
hla strength.
Since then John Sherman lived in com
parative retirement. Tho death ot his
wife last year was n severe blow to him.
After this bereavement hla daughter,
Mrs. Mary Sherman McCallum, took up
her residence with him In the handsome
white stone house on K street, Wash
ington, D. C.

"Last year I had a severe attack ot la
grippe, which left me very weak, so that 1
was unable to perform my duties. Severs!
of my friends advised me to build up on
Peruna and I found it by far the flu cot
tonic and tnvlgorntor I had ever used, in
two weeks I wnB strong nnd well, nnd
ever I am exposed to unusual hardship In
cident with my ("titles at fires, I take a dose

There Is no dlscnse known to man that
J,eaves tho system In such nn outrageous
