The BEE. THE doors of Captain j. ID. Spear
mans SPACIOUS residence swung open to a
vast multitude Of friends and relatives last
Saturday afternoon and evening, the occasion
beng the ninety-second birthday of Mrs.
Eunice Beers mother of Mrs Spearman.
This remarkable old lady, whose life has
been nothing less than romance from her
early girlhood to the present time, was born
in Blnghamton, Broom county, New York,
October s, 1871. She was a sister of Jebe-
diah Smith, the first white man who ever
made the overland trip to California, which

Platte County po,itics.

PLATTE CENTER Neb, Oct. Especial to
THE BEE. Now that the respective parties
have held their conventions and placed in
nomination their candidates for the various
county Offices, the voter can determine upon
their fitness. The democrats had some of
the worst, as well as some of the best, ma
terial, in political sense, TO select their
ticket from, With the experience of the
past staring them in the face, they utterly
ignored the fact that their party ia this
county was to-day as clearly divided into
two factions as it was two years ago, and
that the same causes, which then lead to
democratic defeat would prove as potent in
the coming campaign as they did in the past.
For years past the party has been dominate
and its actions largely controlled by fcw
men who, from selfish motives, have adopted
the rule or ruin policy in the politics of this
county And the nominations made in their
late convention were engineered by these
same party leaders. Owing to the strained
relations existing between the two factions
ia this county, this, in itself, Is enough TO
condemn the entire ticket and insure iLs de-
feat.
The democratic party is to-day numerically
weaker in this county than 1t has ever been,
for many of those who had heretofore voted
the straight party ticket have become dis
gusJed with their party leaders, and have
virtually left the party.
Tho republicans have acted more wisely,
and placed in nomination one of the strong
est tickets ever nominated by either party in
this county. The chances for republican
success in the coming campaign are far bet
ter than they have ever been heretofore.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Oct. c. Especial
to The Bee, Just before the adjournment
of the district court last evening Judge Field
gave a lecture to the potit jury that was
rather in the nature of surprise The jury
could not agree on veruict in the Kerfoot
case charged with deliberate attempt at
murder. The charge was proven, but the
jury did not want to send him up on account
of his family. Before dscharging the jury
the judge reviewed their actions in some Of
the criminal cases which had been before
them. In the case of DR.. Schwartz, charged
with violating the dentistry law, the defend.
ant made no denial of the charge and al
mitted that he had no certificate and yet the
jury returned verdict of not guilty.
in the case of CAM ~ Erbacher, charged
with selling liquor on Sunday, the charge
was not denied, but one of the defendants
claimed the liquor was furnished because the
man said he was sick, but the jury SAID the
defendants We're not guilty of the charge.
Engineer Phillips, who stabbed a man with
intent to Kill, and failed to kill only through
fortunate circumstances, was found not
guilty by the jury. The only provocation
shown BY the testimony was that Phillips
had been called u "scab."
Judge Field wound up his "roast-
ing" OF the jury by declaring it no
wonder that an outraged community rises up
at times and ornaments the trees of Otoe
county with the bodies of criminals VINO
stand no chance of receiving their just dues
by the law.
The new Evangelical church at Twelfth
street and First Corso was dedicated to- day,

will be done before next spring.
