HARD LA noil FOR DR.
CATK
Defendant Drflantly Protests Inno
cence and win Appeal.
NELSON. Neb.. Jan. 29. (Special.) Dr.
W. A. Cate was yesterday sentenced to
eighteen months in the penitentiary at
hard labor. The defendant waa charge!
with assault with intent to kill Lee Grass.
The cas had been tried by a Jury for the
second time and after being out from S
until after 9 o'clock Saturday night the
jury reached a verdict of "assault with
Intent to wound."
When court convened Monday morning
the defense sprung quite a surprise by pre
senting an affidavit of one of the jurors
In which he set forth that he did not under
stand the effect of the verdict he had
signed, and basfd on this affidavit, the de
fense asked that the verdict be set aside.
This was overruled, as was also a motion
for a new trial. , ' "
The defendunt was asked by Judge Hurd
If he had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced. For an Instant
Dr. Cate stood motionless, and the color
left his face as if by magic. With Hps
quivering, he raised his hand saying: '
"I have something to say If I may be
permitted."
Wheeling around, he pointed his finger
scornfully at the prosecuting witness, who
was sitting jttst outside the railing, and
accused him and other witnesses In the
case of falsifying. He Insisted that he
was Innocent and that he had stated the
facta, adding:
"I know I will stand acquitted before a
higher tribunal." The court then referred
further to the character of the crime, the
standing of defendant In the community
and his usefulness as a. physician; also
the sympathy due his wife and little chil
dren. The defendant urged the court not
to take Into consideration any of these
things and said:
"I'd rather be In my place than that
man's sitting over there," pointing at the
pros-cutlng witness, Lee Grass.
Judge Hurd then pronounced the sen
tence as above. Defendant excepted and he
was put under bond of 11.600. which was
given at once and the case will go to the
.supreme court. '

Saved Children la Ilia- Bllsaard.
ORD. Neb.. Jan. -(Sreclsl.)-Flre of
unknown origin entirely destroyed the Mid
vale school hoaae. In the western part of
Valley county. While the burning of this
building Is no great loo In Itself. It re
calls the hardships attendant upon the
j great billiard of January 12, 18S-8. It was
' In the Mldvale school house that Minnie
Freeman, a. modest and unaspiring school
teacher, saved the lives of her thirteen
pupils on that memorable day. With the
assistance of her older pupils Miss Free
man with a cord lashed the children one
to another so that they might not be sepa
rated In. the storm, and In the face of the
severest blizzard that ever swept this sec
tion of Nebraska safely led them a dis
tance of a mile and a half to the nearest
residence.
For this act of heroism Miss Freeman
received many words of praise, not only
from the press of this, but of other statea
as well. As a befitting testimonial to her
heroism The Omaha Bee at that time
asked for a popular subscription In her be
half and a fund of considerable magnitude
was subscribed.
The loss of the building entails but little
hardship upon Mldvale district, as suffi
cient Insurance was carried to cover the
loaa. A new and more commodious building
will be erected at once.

M'KINLBY THE GUIDE
(Continued from First Page.)
have some sort of connection with the
great principles he advocated?
William McKlnley was a God-fearing
man. and the death bed scene at Buffifto
was what might have been expected from
his early teachings and his life-long prac
tice, of a pure life, of a true herd, of a
brave man. His dying words will live
forever as those of one having unbounded
faith In the future life and In the rewards
that are awaiting those who have lived
rightly:
If It la God's will, then let God's will be
done." . rn, i.i 1. .
These were his dymgwords, and, better
than anything I can-aentloni represent
his life as he lived It.
Trne, Il Friend.
No man who ever knew William Mc
Klnley knew him to be other than a true
and loyal friend, a man whose word was
never questioned, a man who thought well
before he pledged .that, word and who did
not .forget he had given It. HIb personal
friends were- not, ' as some of us might
suppose, wholly numbered among men of
note or those holding high places In the
world; but to my knowledge I can say to
you that the merest common citizen with
a grievance or with an Idea was as wel
come In his presence as the man foremost
for his philosophy or his great deeds. Thosa
who had the pleasure of personal Inti
macy with him and I have conversed with
a number of them Inform me that he pos
sessed an even disposition and poise and
clearness of perception that was remark
able; that he. while rightly and properly
appreciating the exalted postion he held
as the first man of hla country, never for
got that he was the servant of rfls people.
He found enjoyment and comfort In Inti
mate conversation with a reporter or de
partmental clerk, and If either one' of these
chanced to possess abilities which had not
been properly recognised, William Mc
Klnley waa not too big to see them, and
our country Is filled with men today whose
hearts are yet overflowing with grief at
his demise, for from him they received
their first real word of encouragement or
advice. The business of the nation was at
no time so great that the humblest citizen
could not approach him.
Is It any wonder, then, that we gather
annually on this day and feebly, attempt to
say a few words In honor of his memory?
My regret Is that I can, with no sort of
adequacy, approach my Ideal of what should
be said upon this occasion. There are, to
my mind, but few men In this world whti
are blessed with a vocabulary sufficiently
lucid to do him justice.
Example to Yonna- Men.
When I think of William McKlnley I
think of him principally aa an example to
our young men who are aspiring to make
themselves heard and felt in the country
lie Is an exemplification of the great pos
sibilities, prexemtlng themselves to the young
man of today.
Our country Is built upon a foundation
IMPROVED MEMORY
And Iacreaaed Wela-ht Front Eating;
Proper Food.
The memory and other Important- func
tions of the brain are 'greatly Influenced
by the conditions of the digestive organs.
Thla may seem strange tp persons who
do not stop to realize that every new cell
In the brain Is made up from the food
that Is taken Into the stomach, because
every thought wastes cells which have
to be replaced by others.
When the proper food Is used and fully
digested, so there's no' fermentation and
polrenous waste manufactured in ihe
body, and the new cells are built In as fast
aa used up, the brain becomes olear and
memory Is sure to 'be Improved.
A Michigan woman writes:
"Three years ago I was In a very bad
condition, nerves so worn the least ex
citement would cause collapse and I was
thin almost to emaciation.
"I tried many changes ot diet but 'noth
ing seemed to agree with me; what I ate
Just remained In my stomach and fer
mented. Seeing Grape-Nuts food adver
tised I thought I, would try It.
I began with two teaspoonfuls of
Grape-Nuts with milk and realized that
at last I had found something I could
eat without discomfort.
"It waa my main food for jonu time
and after a while I could eat other food
without the former 111 effects; the drape.
Nuts seemed to help digestion every way.
Strength began to return and from 10J
lbs., which was my weight when I began
Grape-Nuts, I now weigh 1S6 and con
sider myself well. With rturnlng strength,
my memory Improved greatly. I do not
suffer the severe. fatigue I used to or any
of the evils that used to be every day oc
currences. I eat well, sleep well and am
well thanks to Grape-Nuts for It alt."

and upon a line that gives Incentive to do
and to try. No man, no matter haw lowly
born, if he be possessed of those qualities
which made William McKlnley tne flrst
citizen of the land, need hesitate to aspire
to anything.
William McKlnley was not a man of des
tiny. He waa a man. and closed his career
as such, because he lived right and thought
right uud acted right. He made projier use
of those qualities which were his Inheri
tance and left a record In history that is
possible for any of us. His opportunities
were not thrust upon him becnuse he was
a man of extraordinary abilities or talents
entirely, but because he made careful cal
culation upon the future and because he
met his opportunities at their doors and
grasped them. He was a man not indiffer
ent to the small things of earth. He waa
systematic, provident and cautious. He
made use of his talents, and when his ca
reer closed his record was spotless and
pure, and all of us take pride us American
citizens, in perusing it and thinking about
it; and we feebly, yet earpestly, endeavor
to manifest our great love and admiration
for him. '
To every parent here tonight let me sug
gest that In lnrtrurtlng your children and
bringing them up as good and loyal citizens
you place before them the life. In Its
proper detail, as published, of Wlll'am Mo
Klnely, and say to them that If they will
follow. If but slightly. In his footsteps, they
will become such citizens aa help to make
a good nation.
There are other Ideals of mankind. The
world has furnished us with George Wash
ington and Thomas Jefferson. It has given
us Abraham Lincoln. It has giver) us holy
men in great number; but It has never, to
my mind, given us one nt once a great
statesman and a pure-minded citizen whom
I would say approached in the fullest de
gree the whole goodness of the lamented
McKlnley.
Among; Grent of All Aaes.
The name or William McKlnley will
stand out among the great names of all
ages and of all countries. The words he
uttered at the dedication of Uie Grant mon
ument In New York in 1S9i, referring to
that Immortal general and citizen, Ulysses
B. Grant, apply well to the subject of my
remarks. They are:
"A great life never dies. Great deeds are
lmpeilnhnb!e; great names Immortal."
Our public schools, thanks be to a grow
ing sentiment of this kind, have. In mmy
parts of our country, placed William Mc
Klnley before the youth aa the true exem
plification of American manhood. I rejoice
In thla movement, and I sincerely hope that
there will be no rettogretution In this re
pel. and that there shall be an Increasing
and everlasting tribute paid yearly In
every city, town, village and hamlet cif the
United States to the memory of our mar
tyred president. William McKlnley.
Now, gentlemen. I want to depart from
this mjbject and discuss slightly the oppor
tunities presenting themselves In our glo
rious country to the young man tf charac
ter and ambition.
The man who tries to live without work
ing and without accomplishing something
is a bad example and a menace to so
ciety. It Is not a kind father who brings
up his son to live In Idleness.
There are among my acquaintances many
highly educated and naturally honorahlo
young men who pride themselves that they
rave never earned a dollar and who have
no thought or worry as to what the mor
row may bring forth.
I do not advance as a cure-all for this
evil a recourse to digging ditches, plowing
on a farm or firing a locomotive, although
I do believe that such a course of treat
ment would be effective In many cases.
What I mean is that every young man
should devote a liberal share of his time
to some useful occupation, whether It pro
duce him money or not. If he has all the
money he needs. th.en let him give his serv
ices to some charitable calling.
There Is a wide field for work of this
kind. No church on earth has enough of
such assistance.
Field of Labor for All.
Young men of wealth should familiarize
themselves with the affairs of their com
munity and of their country and make
themselves useful. It ought to be Inter
esting to every young man to know that
his opinion and a Militaries are sought In
luudable public, undertakings.
The idle rich young man, Jf properly
trained, haa great opportunities In all the
honorable professions In the church, medi
cine, the law, the newspaper office, and in
literature and art. If he will Identify him
self with any one of these callings for
which he Is best fitted he will produce
something and te a working man In the
best sense that the word Implies.
The man who shovels In the streets or
plows In the field Is not the only pro
ducer. He Is not the only man who toils,
and while believing with the martyred
McKlnley, In the dignity of labor, and re
alizing, as all must, that the farmer is
the basic producer, I desire, nevertheless,
to Impress upon your minds that any man
who succeeds In the professional or com
mercial world does so only by unceasing
toll.
It is within the power of the rich young
man to do his country great service. His
ambition ta not to mak m ney, but to
make a name for himself. There may be
esoeotlons. but not many, I hope.
I do not mean to say that the rich young
man Is always honest and pure-minded nr
that the poor young man Is usually ds
honeet and' low-browed. What I am trying
to demonstrate is that there is a place for
the Idle rich and educated young man, snd
to suggest some thhuts for his considera
tion. As a matter (A fr-t I believe more
por young men go to the front in pu'il'o
affairs than In any other calling, because
tht-y are forced to do something In ths
world and are led to seek public favor and
positions at the polls. .

gotten their duty to their country. Tliey
nave allowed or employed men who eu e
disqualified both by education, common lrr
tclligence and lack of honesty to manipu
late public affairs to their private advan
tage. i'olltlcs has been unsavory In many ways,
I admit, hut It has deserved no more odium
than business, and the moral standards of
both have strong resemblances, as recent
developments huve shown.
I'olltlcs will be dignified and brought up
to a proper plane of morals and patriotism
If the young men of the country will arise,
go to the front, demand recognition ana
faithfully discharge their duties when
chosen to pubilo place.
It will mean better government. It will
mean better conditions In every way and
for everybody.
It In not presumption to urge young men
to Interest themselves In public affairs. It
Is their country.
The voters under 85 years of age are not
only a great factor at the polls, but con
stitute much of the vital energy, the vigor
and the- enthusiasm for better things In'
every walk of life. Their votes are more
than four-tenths of all the votes cast at
every general election. They are ben line
their part in the paths of usefulness. They
are entitled to their share of the honors.
The ambition to be of use In the world Is
honorable. Every young man may nay, he
should aspire to be a public servant and to
aid In exalting the public service.
It Is his right so to aspire, and while at
the start he may be laughed at for his pre
sumption, he should remember that every
man who has a vote has an Interest In the
republic and a right to seek its welfare In
publlo offlco and to oovet the confidence of
nls fellowmen.
I thank you.
Ryder Starts It Off.
President Erwln confined his talk to a
few words, welcoming the visitors from
the various counties of the Antelope state,
and called on Mr. Ryder for a few re
marks. Mr. Rydr said the club might
felicitate Itself on the presence of such a
rppresentatlvegathering of Nebraskans
and upon bearing the name of the man
who completed the trinity of martyred
presidents.
"We felicitate you," he said, "on having
as a guest this evening that young Loch
Invar of the west, Mayor Becker of Mil
waukee. The people of Milwaukee look
along a vista that ends only at Washing

ing has afforded me more pleasure than the
one before me this evening," Mr. Cowell

the Slocumb law there were many present
who believed he did. at least they so con
strued his remarka
"The legislature Is now In session and If
there are any state laws that do not meet
publlo demands now Is the time to amend
those laws. The governor must enforce the
laws It Is his duty to follow the. path of
law enforcement and you must not expect
anything else."
The governor gave this statement with
considerable force and waa loudly cheered
for his firm stand on the matter of law
enforcement. '
