LINCOLN, Neb., June 16-The ob5ec-
ions raised by Gov. Crounse to the sub
ject matter of commencement Grafton
at the state university commencement Is
creating considerable talk throughout
the state.
The commencement orator was Prof.
George Heron of Iowa College. Grinneli,
Ia, and his topic was "a New Political
Vision" He-startled the audience when
he said:
ave Americans have not a democracy
yet We do not select, we elect our rep
resentatives. Our American senate Of
today is forcibly reminding US of the
court of Louis XVI. We cannot any
more stop with the progress of de mocra-
cy where it is now than we can ia Ike the
race back to the Garden of Eden. In a
pure democracy the people will be their
own Legislators. Again the Christian
state will be the organized economy OF
the people. The producer is Gods CO.
laborer. Either the principal of compe-
tition must come to an end or Christian
ity. The wage system is fundamentally
a slave system, whether wages be just or
unjust. There are ten middlemen be-
tween the producer and consumer where
only one is needed. The most honored
members of society today are its parasi-
ties. The evils of today are nowhere
greater than in the speculation of land.
Speculation in land is a crime against
the nation and blasphemy against q cd. !"
The sensation was increased later when
Gov CrOunse, who presented the diplo-'
mas to the graduates, departed from his
part of the programme to express his dis
approval of the position taken by Prof.

There is trouble between the Painters
union and Geo. p. Conner, the painting
contractor at the new high school build
ing. Mr.. Conner does not employ union
men on the work. He refused to make
terms with the union, and the matter was
brought before Labor Commissioner
Todd.
1t was alleged that Mr.. Conner is not
paying the men the union scale of So. so
duction and allows only 81 for eight
hours work.
The labor commissioner says he has
twice notified Contractor Conner that he
must comply with the eight hour law
and pay the men the tabIished wages
for eight hours work.
Last evening he sent him the third no.
tice and he says that if the men are not
paid the established wages, legal pro-
ceedings against him will be com
menced.
Mr.. Conner said today: 81 have never
received but one notice from the labor

Island Throwing silver.

Ernest Pitch Makes n Sensation at ConSy
Island Throwing silver.
CoEEY ISLAND, N. Y, June 16.-Ernest
Pitch, proprietor Of the Palm hotel here
and the New York hotel at StAugustine,
Fla, went on spree and made things
hum at West Brighton for few hours
Pitch had been drinking champagne
at his hotel with some friends all night
and at noon started out to do the BOwery.
After making things very lively for
everybody in several of the concert halls
he dropped into Count Vacca's westend
casino. Pitch carried three large cigar
boxes filled with silver coin under his
arm. Soon the Smilax sisters, song and
dance performers, appeared on the stage.
They had just finished their first song
and were leaving the stage when a show
er of silver coins fell upon their heads.
Pitch had emptied one cigar box.
The Misses Smilax paid no attention
to the valuable shower, but started in to
sing their second song, when down came
the contents of the second box This
was too much for the song and dance
girls. and they stopped to pick up the
coins while the audience applauded in a
wild manner.
Soon the news spread around that a
guy from the south was throwing money
around at Vacca's, and the casino was
crowded to suffocation.
Florence French was next to appear,
and the third and last box of coins was
thrown at her when she sang Away
Down South in Dixie" . A
Ella Wesner followed Miss French,
and the spectators roared when Miss
Wesner began to guy Pitch Il am a
southern woman; how is it that you don't
throw money at me?" she shouted. This
was more than the hotel keeper could
bear, and going out to the cashiers desk,
he exchanged a 500 bill for silver.
Pitch placed the silver on a fire shovel
and walking down the centre aisle threw
it over the heads of the orchestra mem
bers at Miss Wesner.
The latter Immediately picked up the
coins and placing them in her neat little
brown derby, walked off the stage sing
ing, "Hard Times Come Again No More"
Pitch then bought the drinks for the
entire audience which numbered more
than six hundred people. Pitch is very
wealthy and has lived at COney Island
during the summer season for fifty
years.
Count Vacca said Pitch threw more
than $500 upon the stage.
After leaving the Casino, the hotel
keeper ordered his coachman to drive
him to the bank in New York, where he
said he was going to get keg of silver
coins and have some more fun.

MISS ANTHONY RECALLED
BY the National Equal Suffrage AssOcia-
ton, So IL is Rum ored.

BY the National Equal Suffrage Associa-
ton, So 1t is RumOred.
A rumor is prevalent that Kansas will
hear no more of Susan B. Anthony, at
least not until after the election.
AS the story goes when the action of
Miss Anthony before the Populist state
convention in pledgiug her support to
the ticket became known there
was commotion among the
members OF the equal suffrage
association, of which Miss Anthony is
the national president.
The association is non-political, and
many of its members here and elsewhere
are strong Republicans.
The dissatisfaction over her action was
so strong that it is reported she received
letter recalling her to New York.
A prominent Republican of the city in
speaking of the matter said: 'sYou can say
that Miss Anthony has gone east and it
is also safe to say that she will not re-
turn to Kansas, and the POpulists VIII be
disappointed in expecting her support"
There is considerable room for doubt,
however, that Miss Anthony would o.
could be so peremptorily recalled by any
committee or organization.

HARRIS is SATISFIED
with the Suffrage Plank in the POpuIis
Platform.

WASHINGTON, June 16-Colonel W. A.
Harris, cOngressman-at -large from Kan
sas, stated today that he was highly graft
fed with the action of the Populist state
convention in placing equal suffrage
plank in the platform. Mr.. Harris stat
ed that he had received no official an
nouncement of his nomination. He will
accept, however, and enter enthusiast
cally into the fight.
s.There will be a new issue in the
fight" he declared, land as the lines
will be squarely drawn, it will make an
exciting canvass. 1 mistake the temper
and feeling of the people of Kansas if
woman suffrage does not appeal to the
voters of the state. ] can not engage in
the canvass until relieved from my du-
ties here, but will return as soon as con-
gress adjourns. If there is a state in the
union which has been made by the wo-
men, it is Kansas, and the story of their
suffering from 1865 into the '60s is the
most pathetic history with which 1 am
familiar. They made it what it is, and
l am glad the opportunity has presented
itself of presenting this phase of the ques-
ton"

ABSOLUTELY PURE
1T is THE BLACK DEATH.
The New and Horrible Disease That Has
Appeared In China.

The New and Horrible Disease That Has
Appeared In China.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 16.-The
records of the department of state throw
light on the singular plague which is
now ravaging China, and make it evil
dent that this most fatal disease is really
very similar to the black death or plague
which devastated London, as told by De-
foe.
1t had its origin in Yunnan, Chinese
province, where it is endemic. The
Catholic missionaries there held that it
was really pestilential emanation slow
ly rising in equitable stratum from the
ground, and as it increases in depth all
animals are, as it were, drowned in its
poisonous fiood-the smaller creatures
being first engulfed and man, the tallest
of all, suffering last.
Its approach often may be foretold
from the extraordinary movements of the
rats, who leave their holes and crevices
and issue onto the floor without a trace
of their accustomed timidity, springing
continually upward from their hind legs
as If they were trying to jump out of
something.
The rats fall dead, and then comes the
turn of the poultry; after the poultry
have succumbed, pigs, goats, ponies and
oxen successfully died off. In man its
approach is indicated by the eruption of
one or more minute red pustules, gem
orally in the arm-pits, but occasionally in
other glandular regions.
If several pustules appear the case is
not considered SO hopeless as when they
are few. The sufferer is soon seized
with extreme weakness, followed in a few
hours by agonizing aches in every part
of the body, delirium shortly ensues, and
in nine cases out of ten the result is ia
tai 1t often happens that the patient
suddenly, to all appearances, RECEIVERS
and leaves his bed, but in such cases
the terminage is always a collapse and
DEATH
As soon as case appears, the Chinese
desert the afflicted, leaving him in
room with jug of water, and peering in
the window at intervals, and prodding
the victim with long pole to ascertain
if life is extinct. To make matters worse
in the country the corpses are not buried
but laid out in the sun to decay, poison
ing the air for miles around
The disease was never known before
1860, when it appeared during the great
MOhammedan rebellion.
1t is known in Yangtzu (under the
name of bubonic fever in Laos, in Siam,
in Burmah and in Queycho, China, where
it has prevailed for years. Never before,
however. has it made its way to Canton
and to Hong Kong, whence it may spread
over the earth.
One reason for attributing its origin to
miasmatic influences is the fact that it
always appears upon the planting of
rice in May and June. 1t penetrates
by caravans and travellers to the
uplands and become more severe by
fall Sometimes it passes over certain
communities in it's line of progress, but
only to return later on, or the next year.
Whenever it appears the people desert
their homes and crops and fee to tents
in the hills. In some provinces the pop
ulation is decimated and whole families
disappear
