Coroner Harburger Immediately reported
the case to the police, ,
Mr. Preston was New York manager for

pany. The hotel physician who was called

NIOBRARA, Neb., March 8.-(Speclal.)
For the last three days Superintendent
Reynolds and Bridge Superintendent Coll
well of the Northwestern railway have
taken full charge of a gang of men who
will use dynamite at the mouth of the Nio
brara river, where the railway bridge
crosses. The Niobrara Is a very fickle
stream and Is likely to change its channel
on very short notice. When the bridge
was constructed the channel was on the
west side of the river and two long spans
were thrown across there. But at the
present time the river has run on the east
side quit as often aa In the place It was
found when the engineers located It. One
pier of the bridge la now endangered by
reason of the swift current that has opened
Its way in tha breakup. The officials have
been on duty constantly, working the gang
at the upper end of the Ice bridge, but with
little effect About t o'clock yesterday
afternoon water began coming Into the
west channel over the Ice, but there being
no outlet at the lower end, which enters
the open Missouri river a short distance
below the bridge, It was of small conse
quence. Over 100 pounds of dynamite were
used, with a quarter of a mile or more of
solid Ice yet to blast before the bridge Is
reached, with a furious current running
Into the piling at the east end of the bridge.
The train east was delayed about an hour
Thursday morning before It was permitted
to cross, the locomotive .being first sent
across to test the safety at the weakest
point. . t
The government bridge, a mile and a half
above the mouth of the Niobrara, had a
similar experience, but twenty-flve pounds
of dynamite in the hands of an expert
were used to open up the channel below
the bridge, and It gave the Ice above a
chance to float
PREPARING FOR SPRIXQ ELECTIONS
Nebraska Cities BestlnnlnsT to Disease
Candidates.
FREMONT, Neb., March 8 (Special.)
Although a full city ticket is to be elected
in less than four weeks, there appears to
be very little Interest taken In local politics
by either party. Mayor Wols is a candi
date for a third term and no one has taken
the field against him. Police Judge Cook
and City Clerk Stiles are also aspirants
for renomlnatlon and John Cleland, who
was appointed treasurer, undoubtedly will be
nominated for that place. Among the dem
ocrats there are no aspirants yet In tha
field, though several parties have been
talked of for mayor, among them ex-Mayor
C. Chrlstensen and his son, A. C. Chrts
tonsen, assistant cashier of the Commer

oppose John Mathews for water commis
sioner. The conventions 'have not yet been

BRYAN THEORY LOSES IN DEBATE
Hastings College Wins Decision from
Kearney Normal.
KEARNEY, Neb., March 8. (Special Tel
egram.) In the inter-collegiate debate be
tween the state normal and Hastings o 1
lege, which was held at the normal chapel
last night the Hastings debaters won the
decision, two of the judges voting In I heir
favor. The question was on governmen:
ownership of railroais, on which the statt
normal had the affirmative. The debateia
were Anthony Eastern ng, Claud Smith and
Frank Buker for the normal and M. N.
Forrester, R. H. Walford and Eugene
Bishop for the Hastings college. The
Judges were I. D. Evans of Kenesaw and
B. H. Paine and J. H. Wooley of Orand
Island. The state normal boys did them
selves credit In the handling of their side
of the question, but It was evident that
the Hastings boys had also given the ques
tion hard study.
Farmers' Institute at Gordon.
GORDON, Neb., March 8. (Spnciiii.)
A very successful farmers' institute was
held in Gordon yesterday, at which from
1(0 to 200 farmers were In attendance at
morning, afternoon and night stmtous.
D. P. Ashburn of Gibbon spoke on
"Alfalfa" in the afternoon and at night
gave a moat excellent talk to the young
people of the town and community. W. D.
McKee of Polo, Mo., spoke on "C.vre of
Pure Bred Stock The Feeder Type of
Beef Steer." The farmers participated
freely In the discussions and the Interest
was unusually good. Steps' were taken to
effect a farmers' Institute organisation
that shall conform to the farmers' insti
tute law passed by the legislature in 1905.
Everything forebodes another prosperous
year for the farmers of northwest Ne
braska. The ground Is thoroughly soaked
with moisture and preparations are now
being made for the planting of the largest
area In the history of the country. Immi
grants are dally arriving from Iowa and
other eastern points, with carloads of
farm machinery and stock, and are moving
upon the farms which they purch-ised last
fall. They Invariably come well equipped
and It Is evident that something will be
doing among the farmers this spring. Heal
estate Is rapidly Increasing In value and
substantial farm improvements are being
made.

Farmers' Elevator Proves Failure.
YORK, Neb., March 8. (Special.) Direc
tors of the Farmers' Independent Elevator
company have decided to sell the elevator
building and business. It Is understood
they have about 19.B0O Invested In property.
Farmers took stock sparingly In tho asso
ciation and owing to there being four other
elevators in York competition has been
hard and the Farmers' elevator has been
unable to make money. The elevator is
one of the rVnest In the state and If the
farmers would stand together there Is no
reason why a farmers' co-operative grain
elevator should not make money In York.
