Dead Statesman.

representatives, the executive and ju-
dicial departments OF the government,
representatives of foreign powers and
his many friends among the Washing

When the senate met at noon the
chamber was arranged for the funeral
obsequies and the desk and chair of
the deceased senator were heavily
draped. The galleries were crowded
with spectators. In the opening
prayer, the chaplain referred in feel
ing manner TO the death OF Senator
Plumb. At / 40 the floral committee
of the two houses, escorting the body
OF the dead senator, appeared in the
main entrance, and while all in the
chamber stood up, the procession
moved up the aisle, the chaplain re-
citing the opening sentences OF the
funeral service. The chaplain finished
reading the funeral services and ap-
proprlate selections from the scrip
lures, and closed with prayer after fit
ting speeches had been made. The
body of the deceased senator was
borne out, to be taken to the railroad
station. The senate then adjourned.

vided for its reception, and that and
another car for the special use of the

Wanted to Kill Her,

Red BANK, N. j., Dec. 21.-Ella
Potrula, a Hungarian girl, was re-
ported dying late last night and her
sickness was OF such sudden and
mysterious nature that the public
prosecutor was called in to take her
ante-mortem statement. The girl is
employed as domestic by the family
OF Richard Crawford at -Nutswamp.
She told the prosecutor that she had
been betrayed by her lover, Thomas
Timothy, farm hand and that on
Sunday last he took her to the woods
and compelled her to take some dark
liquid. She said she believed it was
poison, yesterday she gave birth to a
child, but it lived only few hours
Timothy cannot be found. An investi-
cation shows that her lover gave her
Paris green.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 21.-One Of the
most disgraceful affairs that ever took
place in Cleveland occurred this morn
ing. 1t was dog fight over which
$4,000 are said to have changed
hands. The fight was won in nine
minutes by a dog belonging to Bill
Fleming. The result was free-for-all
fight among the spectators, in which
$50 men engaged, Five men are
known to have been seriously injured,
but the identity of only one, Luke Cal

is a mass of bruised flesh and his eyes
were so badly swollen he was unable
to see and had to be led away from

Humphrey a Possibility.

TOPEKA, Dec. 22.-The list of prob
able successors to the late Senator
Plumb is increasing rapidly, The
candidates most prominently men
toned are Chief Justice Horton, ex-
Congressman Morrill, and Peters,
George Il. Peck, Ex-Governor Osborn,
Benjamin Simpson and George 7. An
thony. Justice Horton stated today,
however, that under no circumstances
will he accept the position. 1t is
believed personal differences between
Governor Humphrey and ex-senator
ingalls, will prevent the considera-
.tion of the latter's name. There was
some talk today about Governor Hum
phrey resigning, making Lieutenant
Governor Felt governor, and the latter
then appointing Humphrey senator.

Strangers to NTnrcY.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Dec. 23.-Three
men convicted of robbery at Simbeersk
were condemned to undergo punish
ment with the knout. The poor
wretches, who had probably stolen
only to keep alive, died urder the lash.
A man detected stealing few turnips
was sentenced to penal servitude for
life,
While the army officers and many OF
the societies have given up many OF
their banquets, ETC., devoting the
money usually so spent to the relief oil
the famine sufferers, the latter's dis
tress has not touched the hearts OF
the richest merchants ofSt. Petersburg.
They refuse to subscribe anything for
the relief OF their suffering country
men. An illustration of the apathy
with which appeals have been received
is the fact that collection boxes placed
about the corn exchange were found,
when removed, to be filed with bits OF
tin and pieces of paper. In numerous
cases the dealers after receiving exor-
bitant prices for grain, sent it to the
provinces in bags, the contents oil
which were mostly grass, sand and
bran.
Corruption is widespread among the
officeholders and they are little affect
ed by the sights OF distress, sickness
and death visible on every hand.
Many of the town officials refuse to en-.
roll the starving peasants on the relief
list unless the first pay bride at the
rate of ten copecks for every pood o.

More Field Indictments.

New York, Dec. 22--Two indict-
ments were returned today against
Edward NJ. Field by the grand jury.
Both indictments specify grand lar
ceny in the first degree and are based
on a complaint made by Frank j.
Sprague, who charges Field with the
larceny of $50 shares OF Edison Elec-
trio Light company stock, which he
gave as collateral for borrowed money.
No change is reported in the condi-
ton OF Edward M. Field, the alleged

governor Thayer,s AnpeaI.


At Washington, d. g., last Saturday
Secretary Rusk and Senator Paddock
had a conference in reference to the
introduction OF corn into Europe and
they reached the conclusion that it
would be an excellent advertisement
to send a train load of corn from Ne
braska and Kansas to the starving in
habitants of Russia. 1t would call the
attention Of the world to the corn pro-
ducts OF the United States and espec-
tally Tn capabilities in that direction
OF the two states producing the corn.
It was agreed to recommend this plan
to the citizens of the two states named
and suggest that some Of the cargo
could be diverted from its route. to
Russia and turned into the various
countries OF Europe, where agents
could properly introduce 1t for food
consumption.
This proposition of the secretary
and senator is in accord with what /
have, with others, had under consider
alton for several days. Now is the
time to show our feelings OF friendship
and consideration for Itnese people in
Russia who are now without the means
OF support. / appeal to the generous
people Of Nebraska to aid them and
propose that we furnish train load of
food products from corn as o gift to
the suffering people. This will not
only be creditable to the people of
this state, but it will bring to them a
return which will prove of great ma
terial advantage. 1t will open the
way for the introduction Of our corn
and the products resulting from it to
the people of Europe. Secretary Rusk
has lately said that in response to the
call for help from the suffering people
OF Ireland during the famine the intro
duction Of corn from this country occa-
stoned its general use, and that now
there Is more OF our corn used in Ire
land than in all the rest OF Europe.
In order to adopt practical means of
accomplishing this result | have
requested Hon. L. P. Ludden,
deputy commissioner of labor and. in
dustrial statistics, who acquired such
thorough knowledge of the hest
means of obtaining relief for our suf-
fering people one year ago, to take
charge of this matter and enter into
correspondence with the boards of
trade OF different cities and towns,
county organizations, mills, ETC., for
the purpose of giving practical success
to this proposition. All parties dis
posed to aid are respectfully requested
to forthwith communicate with him
and intimate what they will give in
the matter of arrangements will be
perfected for carrying this work for
ward.
1t is proposed that we furnish a
train load of these food products to be
held subject to the direction of Secre-
tary Busk us to their being forwarded
ito Europe
Donors can furnish what they give
in the flour, corn unground, corn
granules or meal.
