VAN WICK FOR CONGRESS.
The Nebraska Independent State Con-
vention Completes Its Work.

LINCOLN, NEB., July 30.-The independent
state convention did not conclude its labors
until after o'clock this morning. the candi-
date for commissioner OF public lands and
buildings not being nominated until after 8
o'clock. The full ticket is as follows: For gov
ernor, ]. II. Powers Of Hitchcock county; for
lieutenant governor, ". II. Deck Of Saunders;
secretary Of state. NJ. c. Mayberry Of Pawnee;
treasurer, j. V. Wolfe Of Lancaster; auditor,
John Beatty of Holt; attorney general, G. w.
Edgerton OF Douglass; commissioner Of public
linds and buildings W. F. Wright Of Nemaha:
superintendent of public instruction Prof d.
l. Almond OF Furnace. AS soon as the state
convention had adjourned the delegates to the
first congressional convention assembled and
unanimously nominated ex-senator c. H. Van
Wyck for Congress.
The second district congressional convention
meets at Hastings today and the candidates.
with one or two exceptions, are already on the
ground. Those most prominently mentioned
for the nomination are Geo. l.. Laws Of Nc
Cook. who 10 serving the une xpired term Of the
late Congressman Laird; II. Bostwick Of Adams
county. ID. ii. Nettleton Of Clay and A. G. Har-
Ian of York
The first district democratic congressional
convention will meet here today. The two
leading candidates are W. j. Bryan of this CITY
and r s Bib Of Gage county. The name Of
J. Sterling Morton of Otoe may be placed be-
fore the convention. but il is improbable The
independents will doubtless meet at the same
time, and it is said will indorse Bryan. This
almost assures his nomination and means a
race between him and Congressman Conell
who will undoubtedly be named by the repub-
heans In September.

A BoDYGUARD IN RED SHIRTS.
Capt. Tillman Surrounded by Protectors
Armed to the Teeth.

COLUMBIA, SC, July S0.-The last meeting
Of importance in the campaign was held at
Orangeburgh yesterday. This town is the home
of Judge liar, one Of the state senators charged
by Capt. Tillman with having perjured them
selves, and it was feared there would be
q row. Great precautions were taken to pre-
vent trouble The executive committee re-
quested that no viSitors come from outside the
county and that no organized bodies come to
the meeting Izlsr's friends were prevailed
upon to remain away from the meeting. There
were 5000 persons present, Tillman having
large majority.
A remarkable feature of the meeting was
Capt Tillman's body guard. 1t consisted of
twenty-five men wearing red shirts, and con-
spicuously armed to the teeth. Tillman spoke
without interruption. In charging perjury
against those senators who did not vote
for census by which reappor-
tionment OF representation could be secured,
Capt Tilman did not mention Judge
Izlar's name, as he has done at all other meet
ings His speech was unusually temperate.
While Gen. Earl was speaking the crowd
seemed to be rowdy, and the general was fire.
quently interrupted One of the Tilman men
in the crowd told Gen. Earl that he was cor
rupt Earl denounced him as q liar, and for
time there was considerable excitement Earl
was very aggressive in the face of the demon
str alive opposition.

A THIRSTY BIRD.
1t Fell Into q Fountain, but Found q
Friend In Secretary Window.

The dirty fountain between the Treasury and
the White House, to which The STAR called at
tention q fortnight ago, has finally been cleaned
OF the scum that accumulated on the surface
Of the water, but this was only done
when the material had choked up
the drain pipe SO badly that the
fountain was in danger Of running over. This
morning it was flowing again with a clean sur
face. The water was seven or eight inches
from the rim, when young sparrow, Just
weaned and not quite sure of its wings, took
notion that it wanted q drink. So it hoped
up on the granite edge Of
the basin and foolishly leaned over
to sip the cool waters But it was too far, and
in another moment the stupid little thing tum-
bled over into the deep. Just at that time
newspaper man happened along, bound for the
White House, and on his heels came Secretary
Window. going to talk to the President.
The scribe was just in time, and guided
by the advice of the kind hearted
Secretary, whose sympathies were aroused in
behalf Of the bird, he managed to get the flop
ping futtering creature out. As he laid it on
the erase Of the White House lawn to dry he
received the praise Of Mr.. Window, who MUIR
INJURED something about a life-saving medal

TUITION OF INDIAN CHILDREN.
The Government VIII Pay for Their
Education In Public Schools.

Indian Commissioner Morgan has notified
the school authorities in the different states
where Indians are living that the govern
ment will pay for the tuition of Indian chill
dren admitted to the public schools. As the
In dams are not citizens and pay no taxes they
cannot avail themselves of the advantages Of
the public schools, even if they desired to do SO.
The Indians are not unhappy because they
are debarred from public schools,
but the Indian bureau is DESTROYS Of educat-
ing the rising generation Of the red tribes as
rapidly as possible. and in consenting to pay
their tuition an inducement is held out to the
public school authorities to gather in as many
Indian children possible. If this becomes at
all general it will supplement the edu-
cational work now being carried on by
the government For each Indian child
attending the public schools the Indian
bureau offers to pay $40 quarter.
There are now in the state Of Nebraska about
dozen Indian children who are attending the
public schools. For their tuition the school
authorities receive S120 per quarter, which, in
some country districts, would be good deal OF
assistance in eking out the rather meager
funds which are available for school purposes
Wien 1t Is generally understood that the gov
ernment will pay the tuition Gen. Morgan
thinks that the state authorities will make an
effort to bring Indian children into the schools
