Indian nation."
Major Larrabe also had this view that
the present difficulty with the renegade
Utes, especially as to their desire to have
a scrap with United States soldiers, was
largely exaggerated. He also took occasion
to scout the Idea that an armed band of
Cheyennes would join the Utes In resisting
the troops. '.They have had enough flght
' Ing In the past and are now peaceful to a
degree and I do not look for any outbreak
from sjjy quarter."
Major McLaughlin, who recently has
lieen among- the runaway ,T.'tes, said he did
not take any stock In the story that tlio
Indians had fired . upon United States
scouts. ' "At the time I left their camp
In Wyoming." said Major Mclaughlin,
"the only unlawful act these Indians had
committed had been to kill certain game
out of season. It Is true I could only In
duces .small per oentage to return to their
homes, but those who refused to return
were stuhbornly seeking new homes us far

aside from having ti good amount of sud-

what the outcome of such a movement will
be, but: I : don't think there will be any

avalry are diplomatic In dealing with the
Vte.;'.A good deal depends upon whether
the commanding officers are familiar with
the HmrwrPeei ef the' Indle-niT- With -' Whom

At army -headquarters In Omaha
this
statement was given to The Bee: I
"We have absolutely no Information of
any clash of arms between the troops and
the Indians. : Had. ona transpired we would
have learned of it Immediately, for the
army has eourlera whose duty It Is to
transmit all Information pertaining tq the
movements. As a matter of fact, the army
Is today twenty-seven miles behind the
Utes, and we look for no collision today."

l onrtiimaa Pollard Presents a Kerr
Flaares on rreTallln Con
ditions In the state.
PLATT8MOUTH. Neb.. Cct. 31.-(Specl
Tflegram.)-The Parmele theater In this
city was crowded this evening. th occasion
being the only big- republican rally held in
this city during the present campaign.
whk h wns ably addressed by Senator Bui-
kett. Congressman Pollard ard ethers Much
enthusiasm prevailed and the speakers were
frequently and heartily applauded.
Mr. Pollsrd said. In part:
From the statistic- r, we have seen
that whl e the m nufautu er hat pr filed
as well us tut- mcr, ...,e..0u in vari.iua en-
terprlses, yet the prosperity that has come
to them has not equaled by h large per cent
that which has come to the farmers of the
country. I have also been lntereMed to
know how the prices of farm products have
compared with the increase of production.
I have figures along this line beginn ni
with the yeeir 1S94. I remember that year
I especially, because it was the flret year that
, I put In a crop myss-lf. Up until that year
. I had been in college nine months of the
I year. Of course I had been home in the
1 summer and helped on the farm, but that
was the first yesr that I put In a crop In
the spring, cultivated It myself and har
vested In the fall. That was the yes.r of
the great drouth. The price of corn at the
elevator at Nehawka averaged about i)
cents per bushel throughout tne year. Some
farmers paid as high as GO cents a bushel
for corn to finish feeding their cattle. The
very next year we produced one of the big
gest corn crops In our history. What wns
the effect on prices of this tremendous yield
of corn? 1 find that the average price of
com in Chicago for thai year about half
of what it was the previous year. " That
was the effect of one big corn crop during
the democratic tinier. We had a larger crop
again the next year and the price went
still lower. Since the republicans took con
trol the price of corn has been gradually
going up in spite of the fact that the pro
duction of corn has Increased wonderfully.
The reason why the Increased production of
the last few years has not decreased the
prices as It did In democratic tims is the
fact that the people engaged In Wther lines
of Industry have been prosperous, too. Of
the wealth produced every year we con
sume o-er seventeen time as much as we
ship to other countries "With protection
; to all clauses w are all being lieneflted and
are able to buy each others products. The
1 republican party stands for reform In tariff
i schedules whenever needrd. but It Insists
that the protective principle must be re
tained. I He also s?ld that h believed ' that the
people of Cans county believed implicitly In
the honesty and the integrity and In the
ability of her favored sen. Hop. George I
Sheldon. He tohU Ms eiidors that the
only way they could support (ho president
and Mr. Shetdon was to eloct a republican
legislature, which In turn would elect Hon.
Norrls Brown to the United Slates senate
to assist the president in carrying out his
reform measures, snd that would also help
Mr. Sheldon write Into law the reforms ad
vocated by Mr. Sheltfon and his party In
Nebraska.

(From a S'taff Coi-rrspomlent.)
L1NXOI.N. Nb.. Oct. 81.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) After proving conclusively that
It Is Impossible to enforce the old maximum
freight rate law, George L. Sheldon, re
publican candidate for governor, before an
audience which filled the Auditorium to
night showed plainly the talk of the dem
ocratic candidate, Mr. Shallcnberger, re
garding this law Is pure buncombe. Grant
ing that Mr. fthalleiibei-ger could enforce
the dead law, Sheldon showed the freight
rate on a car of cattle from Alma, the
home of the democratic candidate, to
Omh(i would be Increased tl.70 on a car.
The rate now is 15 cents per 100 pound",
making I2S.50 a car,. which Is now $3.70, lehs
than under the maximum freight rate law
which Mr. Bhallenberger and Mr. Abbott,
democratic candidate for attorney genera!.
'want to enforc?. The speaker mentioned
a half doien towns In the state as exam-pl-
where the rate would lie Increased
over present rates If the maximum freight
rate law were to be resurrected the Increase
being from J1.B0 to Jo.55.
The meeting was one of the most en
thusiastic held here. The Auditorium was
comfortably filled and the closest attention
wss given the speakers. The old soldiers,
headed by their drum corpH, marched to
the hall In a body as did the University
band, at the head of several hundred en
thusiastic rooters yelling for Sheldon.
Judge M. B. Rwse presided and Ned
Brown, candidate for reprexentatlvc. de
livered a short address as a curtain raiser
and he started the enthusiasm.
Sheldon was greeted with prolonged
cheers when he entered the hall and was
applauded frequently during Ills speech.
He compared freight rate In Nebraska
with the rates In other states, showing by
the, railroad tariffs that rates here are
higher than In the neighboring states. He
reviewed the platforms of the two parties
and pledged the carrying out of the repub
lican promises If the republican candidates
were elected. He appealed to the rank and
tiles of all parties to suport that party
which had a definite plan outlined for the
relief of the people.
George W. Berge and other populists were
Interested listeners at the meeting.
Linber Papers la Coart.
Judge Sinclair, conducting the state's case
against the Nebraska Lumber Dealers' as
sociation, made formal application this
morning to compel Secretary Crltchflc Id to
bring Into court all the correspondence on
file In his office relating to the association.
The entire morning was spent in urgultis
this motion and Just before noon Judge
Post ruled the correspondence should he
produced. At the afternoon session when
Mr. CritchBeld shom-ed up with his letter
book and numerous letters and papers At
torney Trexler, for the defendants, ob
jected to the introduction of any of the
letters. This also was overruled by Judge
Post. Then Judge Sinclair asked for time
in which to look over the correspondence
to prepare himself in the case.
"You have had several months to get
ready for this case," taterponid Attorney
Courtrtght, "and you luve been Invited to
go to the office of the secretary and ex
amine these papers. If the state has not
Its case prepared It Is the fault of tlje
state and there Is no reason why we shcu!d
be delayod here for you to make up your
caae." v
Judge Slnclajr then Introduced til the
letters and papers, and he was having the
reporter mark the exhibits when Judge
Post Interposed. He said such proceeding
would take entirely too much time and
the only thing for the attorneys to di
would be to get together on what letters
they wanted to Introduce. A recess was
taken and with the assistance of Secre
tary Crltchfleld an examination of the let
ters was begun.
In objecting to the Introduction of the
letters Mr. Baldrlge and the oMier attor
neys for the defense argued that the Junkln
law did not mean that local corporations
should be Inspected snd their records und
letters made public, but that It referred
to the inspection of foreign corporations
and associations doing business In Ne
braska. The same ground gone over yes
terday In this argument was covered to
day, Judge Post holding the state haj n
right to demand the presentation of the
correspondence of the secretary and the
members of the association. Nothing fur
ther was done.
Northwestern Could Have Enjoined.
Officials of the . Northwestern Railroad
company In Nebraska take exceptions to
the publication In The Eee of un article
stating the raon tbU road did not en.
Join the collection of Its taxes in the same
manner as d'd the Union Pacific and Bur
lington, was because the amount In con
troversy was In Dearly every county less
than $2,000, thus taklug Its case without
the Jurisdiction of the federal court.
Robert McQinnis, general ageut of the
company at Lincoln, said such Is not the
ease. Out of the thirty-two counties in
Nebrrska through which the Northwestern

The road, Mr. 'McGlnnis said. -was valued
at f,6n0 a mile, while the officials de

RRYA 1 IS THE THIRD DISTRICT
Faslenlats Making; Desperate Effort
In that Part of state.
NORFOLK. Neb., Oct. 31. -(Special.)
William J. Bryan finished the first of his
three days' whirlwind tour through north
ern Nebraska In a speech which was de
llved to a well filled Auditorium here to
night. During the day he covered In his
special train the territory along the North
western line between Lincoln and Norfolk.
He Is spending the night In Norfolk and
will leave early In the morning for the
west. His tour will comprise the Third
snd Sixth congressional districts. Mr.
Bryan Is accompanied on the special train
by A. C. Sh'allenberger, fusion candidate
for governor.
The fuslonlsts have made a frenxled effort
to gain in the Third congressional district,
this being the third aprearance here of
Mr. .Rhallenberger who opened his cam
paign In Norfolk. The prospects, however,
seem to Indicate a majority of about $,000
for Judge Boyd.
WAHOO, Neb., Oct. 81.-(Snecial.)-The
Bryan special arrived on time today at 11
a. m. and left st 12:15. A fair slsed crowd
turned out. A. C. Shallenberger opened the
speaking followed by Mr. Patrick, then
W. J. Bryan made a few closing remarks.
They spoke from a lumber wairon.
FREMONT, Neb.. Oct. Sl.-(SpecIal Tele
gram.) Hon. W. J. Bryan's special train
was a little late In arriving here and the
Larson opera house was filled from the
stage to the back row of the gallery before
the speakers arrived, A crowd of Normal
students amused themselves by giving their
yell for Brysn. President Clemmons and
other things while waiting for the speak
ers. Hon. A. C. Shallenberger was first
Introduced by D. V. Stephens snd spoke
for about twenty minutes on state issues
and the five leading planks of the demo
cratic platform. Two.ccnt passenger fares
and the freight rates were insisted upon.
He closed by Introducing Mr. Bryan, who
was received by hearty applause. The lat
ter wss In good voice and held the closest
attention of his audience. Including a great
many who were standing for a half hour.
He began by complimenting Mr. Shallen
berger and urging upon his sudience the
importance of supporting the state ticket.
Referring to railroad rates he said that he
had Just paid a freight bill of $27 on some
bronzes he had purchased In Japan from
Omaha to Lincoln, the freight from Toko
hama to Omaha 7,500 miles, 1.4m of which
was by rail was only $55. He thought
something needed regulating. The larger
part of his speech was a good-natured
criticism of the republicans for following
In the footprints of the democrats. Presi
dent Roosevelt was praised today by the
same people who accused him (Bryan) of
most everything ten years ago and the
president was today taking a position far
more radical than he advocated al that
time. "I have Just come from Indiana,''
said the speaker, "and tha republican party
Is split up. They are conducting a sort of
double campaign. Senator Beverldge was
going about ringing a bell demanding a re
striction of the right to accumulate mfl
Hons and rousing up the people to their
situation, and Vlre President Fairbanks
Is following him with H. bottle of chloro
form to put them asleep again." He spoke
also briefly on the tariff, Insisting that no
revision of It could "be expected unless the
democrats came In power and closed with
an eloquent appeal faf-support for the leg
islative and congressional tickets.

teen minutes on the freight he paid on
mementoes brought from Japan and preda
tory wealth. There were only a half dosen
farmers In attendance and the crowd con
sisted In the main of women and chil
dren, and no enthusiasm was aroused.
People Are -with Klnkald.
ST. PAUL, Neb.. Oct. a.-f Special Tele
gram.) That the schemes of the large cat
tle men In opposing Congressman Klnkald
and In support of Mr. Sliumway for con
gress In the Sixth district are falling flat
Is forcibly shown iu the way the literature
they are sending out is being turned down
hy the people. It Is a well known fact
thut the large cattle tnen are financing and
managing Mr. Shumway's campaign on ac.
count of their enmity to the homestead bill
Introduced in congress by Judge Klnkald
and the unquestioned loyalty to the small
stockmen, farmer and homesteader. It is
significant that the chairman of the demo
cratic committee In the Sixth district la sn
active member of the Live Stock associa
tion. Not daring to take issue snuarely
on the homestead bill, which has done much
to make Judge Klnkald so popular with the
people, Mr. Shumway's committee is re
sorting to subterfuges.
