Decision Knvnr Drmocrnts.
Tho democrats of Nebraska may bo
pleased to learn that they have been
favored by Secretary of State Marsh In his
arrangement of tho sample election ballot.
In tho space set apart for the voting of
utralght party tickets tho republican party
1h named first, this being In accordance
with the statutu which provides that tho
parties Khali be named in the order of the
highest votes polled at the last general
election. As tho domocratlu and populist
parties fused last year and were grouped
togother on tho official' ballot, practtcully
us one party, there was no basis upon which
Ihe secretary could determine which of th
two polled tho highest vote. Ono party had
to be given the preference for tho second
place and It was more a matter of chance
thnn anything else that gave tho position
to tho democrats. The people' independent
party Is named third In the list, then comes
the prohibition parly and finally the so
cialists, This Is the form of the certificate of nom
ination and may be observed or disregarded
by tho county clerks as to tho rclatlvo posi
tion of the democratic nnd people's Inde
pendent names.-,

DICKINSON SAYS YELLOW PRESS HINDER:

Talk of Contributions Keeps

(Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.)
SOFIA, Bulgaria. Oct. 24. (New York
World Cablegram Special Telegram.)
Communication with tho brigands who kid
naped Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American
missionary, has been reopened through tho
efforts of Revs. Thompson, Haskell and
Balrd, also American missionaries,
Theso men havo been working on tbo
Bulgarian sldo of the boundary to reopen
negotiations for ransom which wero ab
ruptly broken off when the abductors took
alarm at an attempt made, by troops to
surround them. It has not been learned
hero whether the negotiations have actually
been resumed, but there Is much encour
agement In the circumstance that tho
brigands have permitted communication to
be restored. That fact alone Is takon to
mean that Miss Stone Is alive and sate
from harm for tho present at least.
C. M. Dickinson, the diplomatic agent
or envoy of tho United States In Bulgaria,
as well as consul general at Constantinople,
has been Indefatigable since bis arrival
here, October 6, In striving to get Miss
Stone free. Mr. Dickinson said to the
World correspondent In Sofia today:
Dickinson Describes Nltnntlon.
"I still think that the Bulgarian gov
ernment will bring pressure enough to
bear on tho Macedonian committee, and
through It on tho brigands, to release their
captives. Somo members of a secret com
mittee wero arrested by the Bulgarian
government, but thoy were released In
a few days. If Prlnco Ferdinand's (Bul
garian) government relaxes Its pressure on
tho committee, nothing will 'bo left to
do but to pay the ransom In order to se
cure tbo safety of Miss Stono and her
companion, Mrs. K. S. Tsllka, and so hence
forth endanger the lives and safety of
Americans resident in this country or
traveling through It.
"I havo absoluto proof of tho complicity
In the crime of somo members of the
Macedonian committee. Tho brigands who
attacked Miss Stone's party wero disguised
In Turkish fez and cloaks. But two of them
threw back their cloaks during the attack,
thus revealing tho uniform of the Mace
donian committee. They were recognized,
too, as Bulgarians. Moreover, they spoke
poor Turkish, but good Bulgarian, and ato
ham and bacon."-
Mr. Dickinson has not only been In con
stant communication with tho Bulgarian
movement, but he knows all the movements
of tho Turkish authorities. He is uncer
tain as to Miss Stone's present whereabouts.
She was with tbo brigands at Jokorouda,
near Gul Jope, on tho border between Tur
key and Bulgaria, on Octobor 8 and 9. No
member of the Samokov mission went In
search of her and only two letters havo
been received from her, the substance of
both of which has been published.
"Rev. Mr. Thompson sent from Samokov
a letter to Miss Stone," Mr. Dickinson con
tinued, "but he got no answer.
Yellow Journals Hinder l'roitress.
"Progress In the rescue Is Impossible as
long as certain Journals In America con
tinue publishing sensational stories about
a stream of ransom gold flowing from the
United States. Such tales reach tho
brigands and give them the Impression that
tho longer they retain Miss Stone tho larger
the ransom that will bo paid.
"In all I do I act strictly kundcr Instruc
tions from tho State department at Wash
ington. The leading members of tho Bul
garian government agree, I believe, that
the brigands nre willing to surrender to
the Bulgarian troops and that In this there
would be no danger to tho captives, but It
they should bo attacked by Turkish troops
tho brigands would fight to tho last and
then kill tho captives. Tho Stnto depart
ment at Washington was communicated
with and thought It unwlso to risk a move
ment of tho Bulgnrlan troops, unless the
Bulgarian government would guarantee
Miss Stone's safoty. The Bulgarian gov
ernment could not go to that extent. Tho
Turkish troops are under orders not to at
tack the brigands, even If they are fired
upon. The situation Is complicated by the
operations of tho secret Macedonian com
mittee." Pleases Wnshlniiton.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. The news lhat
the missionaries operating from Bulgaria
aro In touch with tho brigands who abducted
Miss Stor.e Is highly gratifying to the offi
cials here. They hopo the Information Is
correct. No news to that effect, however,
has been received at tho Stnto department.
The officials continue unremittingly their
efforts to secure Miss tono's release and
today a dispatch wns sent to Spencer Eddy,
tho secretary of the United States lega
tion at Constantinople, urging that the
missionaries get Into communication with
the brigands, so that tbo ransom could be,
paid nnd a release of the missionary
effected.

BEGIN WORK 0JTNEW RAILROAD

to lie Completed as Far
as Perry.
ATKINSON, Neb., Oct. 21. (Special.)
The Atkinson & Niobrara River railway,
with a capital stock of $425,000, to run from
Atkinson, Holt county, Neb., to Butte. Boyd
county, Neb., after being strongly agitated
for several years Is now being built. Work
was begun on the road the first ot this
week, when Superintendent of Construction
A. O. Perry arrived from the cast. There
are now 100 men at work on the grade
By January 1 trains wilt be running over
twenty-eight of the thirty-four miles In alt
on a standard gruge track, Instead of a
narrow gauge as was contemplated at first,
to Perry, Neb. Early next spring tho tlno
will be completed to Butte, the terminus.
A. O. Perry of this place originally con
ceived the Idea of putting In a railroad from
here to Butte. He was led to believe that
such an enterprise would be a remunerative
one, when he considered tho fact that ocr
2,000,000 bushels of corn are raised In Boyd
county alone every yenr, nnd that owr
fifteen carloads of freight are being shipped
Into and out of Boyd and Gregory counties,
South Dakota, every day. This Is all trans
ported by freighters to and from railroads
at a cost to producers ot $90 per car. Tho
building of this road will rcduco tho ex
pense ovor three-fourths nnd give better
service, as tho company will run a mixed
train over the system to wake two round
trips each day.
The officers of tho system are: President,

3,000 men, women and children here today
on the political issues. The meeting had
been extensively advertised by tho locil

gloomy over the outcome this evening. Tho

of the republican .party and advocacy of the

lmperiallsm and free silver. The doy was
fine,, his auditors attentive and everything
in his favor, but ho failed to captlvato the

SHEEP GROWERS JUBILANT
Flockmnstern of WyomliiR Pleased
Over Prospects for
Spring.
CHEYENNE. Wyo., Oct. 24.-(Speclal.)-E.
P. Snow, secretary of the Stato Board
of Sheep Commissioners, hns returned from
a two months' trip through tho state. Ho
reports that tho winter ranso In all parts
of tho stato Is In flno condition and dock
masters are Jubilant. Tho low prices for
mutton during the last few weeks have not
Injured the business In Wyoming, because
there aro no sheep for salo In tho Btate.
With plenty of feed on the rango and In
tho stack, flockmasters aro not anxious to
dispose of their holdings at present prices,
feeling sure that they will have no trouble
In wintering their sheep and will receive
several times their present value In tho
Hprlng from tho Increased wool clip and
better prices. The rushing to market of
thousands of head of sheep per day caused
tho drop In prices, but now that shipments
havo practically ceased, tho market Is
growing stronger dally and In the spring
prices will be ns good If not better than
last season.
During his trip over the state, Sccrotary
Snow gathered data nnd has compiled this
statement of tho wool clip- and number of
sheep on hand, showing that Wyoming Is
away In the lead among the sheep and wool
producing states and territories of the
union;
Number of sheep in Wyoming on July 1,
1901, 3,729,534; number of lambs in Wyoming
on July 1, 1901, 1,93S,00:; number of pounds
of wooj Bhorn during 1901, 27,969,930; avor
ago weight of fleeco for year 1901, 7t
pounds; average shrinkage of fleece for 1901,
10 per cent.
Tho growth of the sheep nnd wool In
dustry In Wyoming during tho year 1901
was remarkable, when tho falling off In
values of sheop and low price ot wool aro
considered.
On November 30, 1901, there were 2,254,
366 sheep In the state; on November 30,
1900, there were 1,855,131 lambs In the
state. Tho wool clip for 1900 was 27,119,718
pounds, Increase during seven months from
November 30, 1900, to July 1, 1901, In sheep
and lambs was: Sheep, 475, 168; lambs,
102,874. Incrcaao In wool clip of 1901 over
that of 1900 was 850,252 pounds.
During tho fall of 1900, Colorado feeders
made heavy Inroads upon Wyoming's crop
of lambs, thousands ot head being shipped
to tho feed lots at Fort Collins and other
northern Colorado points. During the early
fall of this year, thousands of head of sheep
were shipped to mnrkot, but as soon as
prices began to fall off shipments ceased.
As very few sheep are being sold at pres
ent and as few will be brought Into tho
stato this fall, tho figures of July 1 will not
bo materially changed on November 30,
the date of the closing of tho fiscal year,
and theso figures will truthfully tell the
story of Wyoming's sheep and wool Indus
try for 1901.
Another gratifying feature of tho Industry
In Wyoming Is the almost total absence of
scab and other infectious diseases. During
the year the government Inspectors turned
down only two bands ot sheep in the state.
These consisted ot 4,000 head each and
wero found at Cokovlltc, having been driven
In from the west. In one of these bands
only one diseased sheep was found and In
the other band only two animals wero suf
fering with scab. This condition of affairs
speaks well for tho State Board of Sheep
Commissioners and Its secretary, as their
work has been effective.
It Is believed that during the next
twelve months the sheep and wool Industry
of Wyoming will continue to make rapid
strides and distance Montana, which state
Is now a close second to Wyoming.
Reports havo been circulated that Wyo
ming lambs have been selling at from 90
cents to $1.25, but Secretary Snow says
this Is not the case. Saturday a band ot
3,000 lambs sold at Douglas for $2.40 per
head. '

About the first thing: the doctor
says How are your bowels ?
Then, "Let's see your tongue."
Because bad tongue and bad
bowels go together. Regulate the
bowels, clean up the tongue. We
all know that this is the way to
keep well.
You can't keep the bowels
healthy and regular with purges
