Ftom tho officials of the railroad com
pany only a. meager and disconnected story
of the occurrence could bo made. The
train, which I made up of three heavy
vestibule coaches of the newest type, all
electrically equipped, left Camden at 1
o'clock thla afternoon. Walter Bcott wa
th motormnn on the forward car, John L.
Curtis of Camden was the conductor In
charge and Ralph Wood wan the brake
man. When the train pulled out of Camden
tho coaches were comfortably filled, women t
and children being In the majority. Thay
occupied tho two forward quarters. Fif
teen members of Osoca's Artillery band
were In the rear coach.
At Newfleld Junction, a few miles from
hare, about twenty passengers were taken
aboard, making the total number on the
train a. few less than 100. The conductor
does not appear to. be certain an to the
eaet number. He had eighty-eight tickets
In his possession when he waa brought to
this city, but he thinks several tickets
were lost, and It Is his opinion there were lt impossible to make a fair and honest

there on bowled along at Its customary that the Interior furnishings cost 19.000,000
speed. Not the slightest Incident occurred
to cause the, motorman to slow down.
When the draw bridge, which crossed the
stream popularly known aa the "Thorough.
5are," vfaa approached th motorman saw a
cK-ar track before him.
All at once the forward coach lurched,
tim .x.fiflerous wheels leaped the rails and
cume, down upon the ties. Swerving to the
left, the first coach draggod the others
efter It and plunged over the edge into
the water. Tho third coach, however,

momentarily suspended in midair. Not a
Kiugle passenger In this car van killed,
neither, did one cf them get away unin

riniett person escaped from these two
coaches.
Mas Rescues Little Ulrl.
One Instance f a heroic and almost mi
raculous escape' from tho first coach is the
coee of David S. Enley of Camden. Enley
reached Atlantic City suffering from
bruises about the fane and body, .carry

Orlggs of Georgia, chairman of the con
gressional committee, the fight la almost j
won for the democrats and he sees a .
democratic majority In the lower houss
In the sixtieth congress. Chairman Bhnr- i
man, Vice Chairman Tawney and the
wheel horse of the republican party,
Charles H. Orosvenor, do Hot concede tha
claims of Mr. Griggs, but on the con
trary are conservatively looking to thirty
republican majority In the Sixtieth con
gress. The republicans have In the pres
ent Fifty-ninth congress 114 majority.
Thay are prepared to lose approximately
twenty districts, which would mean a
change of forty. The democrats, to car-y
the house, must gain flfty-eight districts,
and this gain they expect to make In
Missouri, Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut.
Local .Issue involved.
There is no denying the fact that In New
York and Pennsylvania, local conditions
are of such a character that It Is Impos
sible to forecast the result. Party lines
are completely broken In those two states
,. .h i..w. wh n.ni.. have found

Ksj-Btone state are up In arma ready to
vote to turn down anyone who has the
brand of "regular republican" on his back.
In .New York state William Randolph
Hearst, the Independence league candidal
and endorsed by the democrats, la creating
new conditions and attracting to him a
voting strength which heretofore has been
aligned with one or the other of the po
litical parties. To such an extent Is Hearst
breaking into the old parties that the num
ber of his votee cannot be approximately
forecasted. One thing Is certain, Hearst
hug got the republicans scared In New
York state and between now and election
day you may expect to see a campaign
rivaling the days when Tllden and Hayes
were the candidates of their respective
parties for president In the Umpire state.
Issues Well Deflned.
The Issue are well defined and the re
publicans and thousands of democrat will
make every effort to eliminate the young
man who believed he wa presidential tim
ber': before he bad held a public office of
any kind. The Hearst Influence In New
York will necessarily dominate the congres
sional situation In Greater New York and
In that particular there may be several
seats lost In New York City to tha repub
licans. Scanning the list of nominations
made by the two parties for congress It is
seen that there is likely to be chosen an
unusually large proportion of new repre
sentatives in the Sixtieth congress. Even
If all the incumbents who have been nomi
nated are re-elected there will be sixty
new members, all of whom .have been
nominated In the place of present membera
or of those who have died since the last
election.
In the case of Alabama

Richmond Pearson Hobson, retiring after
distinguished service In the navy, will take
the place of that very tried old democrat
John H Bankhead. In the Arkansas dele
gation John 8. Utile will be missed because
of his nomination for governor1, and will
ba succeeded by William B. Cravens of
Fort Smith. In Colorado there Is considers,
tile l'rictlon, but lt seems safe to predict
the election of the republican candidates.
Georgia will send a solid democratic dele
gation. Assuming there will be no change
In the delegation from Illinois, there will
be but one new member from that state,

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. .-(Ppcc!al.)-The city
of Lincoln will come Into possession of a
city hall during the week, the property to
be transferred being the old government
postofTlre on O . street. For many years
the city 'has managed to get along with a ;
two-story brick structure, which contains
small offices for the city officials, one fire
station and a small and poorly kept city
Jail. The olty council chamber is also In
the little building. The old postoftV.
which will become the property of Lincoln,
Is a well 'built four-story stone structure.
For this building and a small plat of
ground surrounding lt, on the south sldi
of Government square. $TiO,0nr) Is to be paid.
When Senator Burkett secured an appro
priation for a Uno.oro postofflce congress was
asked to pnss an act giving the city of
Lincoln the right to buy tho old postof
flce for loO.OOO, the property to be used ex
clusively for city purposes and to revert
to the government whenever It shall cease
to he used for such purpose. The new
building was completed and Is now occu
pied. The city has the cash to pay for the
old building and the transfer will probably
me made Monday night at tho council meet
ing. The deed will be executed by Cus
todian L. L. Llndsey without delay and
the money will be sent to St Louis to be
deposited to the credit of the government.
As the building Is to be used .exclusively
for city purposes, the couucll hesitates to
comply with the request of the Grand Army
and other organizations for rooms In the
hall Several organisations, including the
school board, have asked for quarters.
Traction Ordinance to Come I p.
At the meeting of the city council Mon
day night a lively time is looked for over
the proposed agreement to be entered Into
between the city and the Lincoln Traction
company, which has been pigeonholed for
several months. The council passed an
ordinance requiring the company to sell
six tickets for 25 cents, but it was not en
forced pending a proposition of the com
pany to pay to the city 5 per cent of Its
gross Income for a certain number of years
and thereafter an increased percentage of
the receipts. ,
Kansas Farmer Paid Money.
Mrs. Delay Richards, recently arrested
for keeping a disorderly house at the cor
ner of Tenth and P streets. Is charged with
having induced Simon Bauman, a farmer
of Bern, Kan., to send her $1,000 to be I
used by her as agent for the purcnase or
the building In which she lived. Bau
man reached Lincoln before the draft was
received in the postofflce and when ho
asked Mrs. Richards to go with him and
get the money and give it back to him,
she Is said to havo sent her maid to him
to tell him that her husband, with whom
ahe had not been living, waa after him
with a gun. He left town. He had pre
viously sent her $1,000 to be used In put
chasing the building. Later Mrs. Rich
ards' husband and a Lincoln lawyer vis
ited Bauman at his home and told him a
big damage suit was likely to be filed
against him. He said he gave the men
$2,000 and they went away. It is reported
that Bauman has received back most of
his $4,000 and that he does not Intend to
proseoute.
Bryan's la(4a lu Nebraska.
William J. Bryan will conclude his po
litical canvass In his home state beginning
Tuesday next. Mr. Bryan will make a
whirlwind campaign throughout Nebraska,
visiting a large part of it, and making
bstween forty and fifty speeches, the last
one to be at Plattsmouth on the night of J
November 3. Preparations are being made
for a great reception to Mr. Bryan at Lin
coln, where he speaks next Saturday even
ing. Terminal Taxation.
"There Is no use to discuss the reports
put in circulation by the fuslonlsts thut
the republicans intend to take from the
people of the western part of the state
uny part of tho tax now derived from rail
road terminals in Omaha," said a poli
tician. "Tho discussion aa to whether or
not terminals are distributed over the lines
of roads 1 also tmmateiials. The plank in
the republican state platform contemplates
no change In the present method of taxing
terminals for state, county and school dis
trict purposes. The platform endorses that
method, but merely ask for wa additional
tax on terminals for city and village pur
poses. The attempt of the fuslonlsts to
deceive the people surely cannot be suc
cessful when the plank In the platform is
so explicit."
The following Is the platform plunk re
ferred to:
While we believe that the present
method of assessing railroad property in
cities and villages, and distributing
taxes therefrom through tho various coun
ties Is Just and fair so far as lt relates
to county, state end school iax, we demand
that the revenue law be so amended that
the railroad property within cities and vil
lage shall also be assessed and taxed tho
same as other property for village and city
purposes.
Why He l Mupportlugr Sheldon,
In a letter to a friend, D. J. Poynter, a
well known popuilst, writea:
Argus Printing House, D. J. Poynter,
President Albion, Neb.. Oct. 23, 1908. Dear
Sir: In replying to yours of recent date as
to why I am supporting Sheldon in the
Argua, I would say that I was not pleased
with the way medicine was mixed at the
popo-demo convention at Lincoln. I have
token my medicine quite regularly without
much grumbling for noma time, but this
dose was a little too big for me. There
i waa no good reason that I could see why
Berge should not have been nominated. I
was at Grand Island once when some In
fluence played horse with us all night
This Influence or some other played the
same game at Lincoln, wrested Berge from
us and gave us ShalicnlxTgcr. The Influ
ence that played the game this time was
apparent to all that were there.
Sheldon fought hla tight manfully and
i won out In spite of the railroad Influence.
1 He telle a atralght atory about hla pasa
I experience without stuttering. He seems
I honest lu his actions. I IwIIeve he will
I make an honest effort to do what he says
! he will. So having confidence In Sheldon
land not proposing to swallow any kind of
a dote unscrupuloua leaders may mix for
me, I decided to support him.
I have talked with a good many pops
and they all talk about alike. They feel
like all the interest they had in the cam
paign waa lost when they lost Beige. He
vui the logical candidate and the place
was due him. If they vote at all, many
of them will support Sheldon Very re
spectfully, D. J. POYNTER.

criticism by dlsoppolnted office seekers he

sion legislation assailed by the opposition
he had had lt recently looked up at Wash
ington. It showed that he had got through
more private pension bills for the relief
of worthy old soldiers In the last session
of congress than did Mr. Sunderland In the
four years he wan in congress.
The record also showed that he had
passed more than three times ss many
laws for tho relief of old foldiers during j
his three and a half years In congress than

TRIST'S FIGHT OS OTIS SMITH
York Man's Experience ns an Inde
pendent fSraln Dealer.
YORK, Neb., Oct. 2S.-(Speclal.)-If the
Interstate Commerce commission, who
took testimony at Omaha, had subpoenaed
Otis Bmith, grain dealer and track buyer
here, they would have learned more of
w-ays and means used by the grain trust
In several state to prevent farmers and
farmers' elevntors obtaining a market.
Mr. Smith opened an office In York foc.r
years ago and commenced to buy grain in
Nebraska In carload lots. Owing to the
large grain commission houses refusing to
make bids or buy grain from farmers' ele
vators, Mr. Smith at one time was about
the only bidder and secured thousands of
cars or farmers' grain. For about six
months Mr. Smith experienced no trouble
In selling the grain to the largest grain
commission Arms and exporters. Then the
grain trust took notice of him and such
pressure wa brought to bear upon Mr.
Smith's eastern customers that one by one
he received letters from them stating that
certain grain dealers who were their most
valued customers had complained that'Mr.
Smith was buying farmers' grain and al
though they much regretted the action they
were compelled to take, they could not ar.
cept any more consignments. Mr. Smith
was thus compelled to sell his grain to mills
and sonslgn direct to consumers. The
farmers of Nebraska have Otis Smith to
thank for the great and successful fight
he made In their interests.
Unless destroyed Mr. Smith has a num
ber of Interesting letters that would shed
a great deal mote light on the ways and
means used by the grain trust to prevent
farmers from marketing and engaging In
the grain business In Nebraska.

Important factor In American politics since
the Inception of the movement which led
to the Adoption of the Constitution. It w s
the Influence of the Jew In the early diys
of the nation which caused the framing of
that document in such phraseo'ogy aa to
assure absolute religious llbtrty In the new
republic; and It was the Jew who was In
strumental In preventing a declaration to
the effect that this Is a "Christian nation"
In the American "tree of rights."
During the second war with Great Brit
nln it was a Jew, Mnrdecal Noah, who
held 8outh Carolina In line and thereby
made the war possible, and It was the same
Jew, Noah, who turned his private fortune
over to- tho government to aid in the con
duct of that war. And It Is to the shame
of the republic that Noah was vllllfled and
ostracised by h!s fellow-countrymen, aban
doned by his government and that neither
he nor his descendints were puld back the
money which he advanced.
Other Jews In Public Life.
The bigotry In religious mattors which
existed 100 years ago has gradually evap
orated. Today the presence of a Jew In
the halls of congress excites no comment.
There have been members of the faith
in both houses for many years. In tha
senate today is Isador Raynor of Mary
land, while in the house are Adolph Myer
of Loulaana, Luclan Littauer of Now
York, Repreaentative Goldfogle of Now
York, and several others.
In England, Disrali was the first Jew to
be admitted to a seat in Parliament, and
he, as Is well known, reached the high
est pinnacle, politically, to which a com
moner can aspire the premiership. In
this country the Jews have held Important
diplomatic positions, and In the unoTIlolal
councils of state they have been potent
factors. But, as Mark Twain has pointed
out, lt is principally In the line of com
merce and finance that the Hebrew has
been prominent It must not be forgot
ten, however, that professors of the fAltlr1
have done great work in both the army
and navy branches of our military serv
ice. Mr. Straus is a capitalist, a philan
thropist and a diplomat In tho financial
world he ranks among the klngb. As a
philanthropist he has been practical. Tho
pure milk depots established in New ITork
City for the benefit of the poor of all
creeds and colora were created by him,
and thousands upon thousands of poor
people on Manhattan Island bless him
for his charftlcs. In the dlplomatio serv
ice, as minister to Turkey,' he. exhibited
a wonderful knowledge of the intricacies
of European diplomacy, and lt Is largely
due to his record as a diplomat that
President Roosevelt haa tendered him
one of his cabinet portfolios. He should
make an Ideal secretary of commerce and
labor.
The selection of one of their faltli, for
tho first time, to hold a portfolio haa
caused a flood of telegrams of Commenda
tion for his action to pour In upon the
president from members of the Jewlih
race.
Marine Corps to the Front.
Strenuous efforts are to be made from
this time forth to increase the marine
corps. This t.runch of the' service hus,
since the Spanish war, received the recog
nition which was never before accorded
to lt. It is not forgotten that lt was the
corps which first landed at Guantanamo,
on the south poast of the Island of Cuba,
and that it was the men with the "fed
stripes on their trousers" who first demon
strated to the Spaniards what American
fighting meu arc made of. Twenty years
ago there was serious talk of abolishing
the corps entirely1. The marines were re
garded aa the police force of the navy.
Their dutlea were supposed to consist prin
cipally In maintaining order and discipline
among drunken sailors. But along In the
'iOf, when there was threatened trouble on
the Isthmus ot Panama, It waa Colonel
Heyward and his marines Who landed and
maintained order. It was the' marine
corps which garrisoned the Island of
Guam, after the surrender of that far-off
oasis in the desert of the Pacific by the
Spaniards. It was the marine corps which
was first to land In China during the
"boxer" outbreak, and In every "scrap"
In which thla country has been engaged
since the close of hostilities in 1W the ma
rines have been 1n the forefront.
Thla branch of the American military
service offers, perhaps, better chances for
promotion than either the navy proper or
the army. Graduatea of the Annapolis
academy are not partial to the marine
corps, largely because its duties are dis
tant and apart from those of a sailor,
and after a boy haa apent six years In
the study of r.avigatlon, engineering and
gunnery he resents the idea of purely
military career. Consequently few grad
uates of Annapolis enter the corps none
whatever from choice.
Examining Doctors on fltrlke.
On the other hand, the boy who accepts
"the shilling of tho recruiting sergeant"
has a career before bim if he is built of
the right stuff. Inside of a year he may
win the chevron of a noncommissioned of
ficer and three years later a commission as
a second lieutenant Is within reach, pro
vided he ho the necessary education to
pass the examination, the vim to try and
the willingness to strive.
But the recruiting officers have found
much difficulty In obtaining recruits In re
cent years, and especially during tbe last
three months, and strange as it may ap
pear the cause of their 111 success is to
be found not In the hardships of the serv
ice, but la the difficulty found In obtain
ing physicians willing to examine into the
physical conditions of the recruits who
offer themselves. It apnears these phy
sicians are required to make examlnationa
aa rigid as those demanded of the exam
ining doctora of life insurance companiea
and Instead of the $3 fee which these cor
porations are in the habit of allowing their
surreons the suthorltl's at Washington al
low only W cents for examining a recruit
, and even this small sum Is reduced one
half after the first eramlnatlon has been
made. Naturally the doctors have "struck"
' and a number of recruiting stations have
la-en closed In consequence. Unless the
department slums a more llbei-al dispo
sition toward 1 1 1 eiaminer it will be dif
ficult to increase the corps and Oeneral
UlrWt. In rumm.iml. has pointed out In
his ufrswal reuoit, just aakx"ita4 to 6tc-reiarj-
U i.fan ana a more
1 marines was nevT greater than It Is at
present.
j Increase In Second Class Ratea.
I It-Is expected that the commission, which
' for some time past has been Investigating
the subject of second-class postal rates,
will make recommendations for drastic
chanffes. It Is a common belief that the
annual deficit In th revenues of the de
partment are due In great measure to tho
fact that hundreds of tons of illegitimate
matter is carried at the rate of 1 cent per
pound to oil sections of the country.
Legitimate publications hnt'e suffered In
consequence of the enormous growth of
"fakes." Tons of publications are turned
out every week and carried by the million
by Uncle Sam In his mall cars at great
cost to the revenues and for the sole benefit
of some manufacturer of pills and nostrums
or some equally patriotic) seeker after th
almighty dollar. Within the Inst year
hundreds of publishers have, on the other
hand, been refused the right to register
their publications as "Entered In the post
offlce as second class matter." because the
department is determined to give no pub
lien tlon postal facilities until Its true char
acter nnd scope Is demonstrated.
It seems to be the general belief that the
commission will recommend an Increase In
the pound tate postage charges, find at
the same time, give the Postofflce depart
ment mote leeway, both In the matter of
admitting to the mails and excluding from
the mails publications which It has reason
to regard either aa legitimate or as purely
advertising publications.
Various publishing houses throughout the
country are greatly agitated over the pros
pect, and there will doubtless be a formld
able lohhy In Washington next winter to
fight against any change Inimical to the
Interest of the scml-prlvate publications.

Business College Foot Ball Team Wins
Fast Coolest from Presbyterians.
GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. Oct. 2S.-(8pe-cial.)
The Hasting Presbyterian collere
team was defeated here Saturday by the
Grand Island Business college team by the
score of 6 to 0. The teams were quite
evenly matched In weight, but Grand Island
proved a trifle too speedy for their oppon
ents at all stages of the game.
Priest's punting for Grand Island was
far superior to that of the much heralded
McDougal. Grsnd Islnnd's ends were faster
on getting down the field voder punts
often tackling the Hastings runner for fi
loss, and three time recovering the ball
for Grand Island. Priest and Weatherman
also did much better work handling punts
then Hastings' back field men.
Throughout the contest the ball was tn
Hastings' twrltory, both halves endln w'fh
Grand Island on the Hastings twenty-yard
line. The winning of this game gives thu
business college the championship of west
ern Nebraska, as Hastings had defeated
all other teams tn this section of the state
that could lay any claim to championship
honors.
Last Saturday Hastings defeated the Ne
braska Normal of Kearney, 1 to 4, and
came here claiming that they were certain
to take Doune's measure uext Saturday at
Hastings.
Next Friday the business college meets
the Nebraska Industrial school of Kearney,
which claims to be the fastest team In
Nebraska west of Grand Island.
Belmonts Defeat Imperials.
The Belmont Pleasure club again de
feated the Imperials of Council Bluffs Sun
day afternoon by a score of 6 to 0. The
line-up of the Imperials snowed several new
' men and their defense seemed to be. greatly
strengthened, but on the offense they were
powerless to gain either through the line
or around the ends. The half ended
with no scores. Th Imperials had the
advantage of a heavy wind, and although
I the Belmonts time after time carried the
I ball right to their opponent's goal they
I could not quite get it over and then the
ball would be klckl back to tho center of
' the field. In the second half the Belmonta
, atarted with the wind In their favor snd
worked the ball to middle field, then Ham
ilton drove a magnificent punt clear over
the backs, which Jenkins captured and cti
verted Into a touchdown. Lone, fierce
charges bv Jenkins and Doughterty fur
nished ths features. Line-up:
