The present opportunity is An extremely
favorable one for Us. The bad financial
conditiono OF the Canadian Pacific Railroad,
which 10, perhaps, the greatest power in
Canada at present, shows that its
prosperity depends far more on

British America. Manitoba and British

they are separate from the United States;

Chairman Owen Goes South

Expects to Return Next Monday and

Republicans Are Confident But do
Not Propose to Remain Idle.

Chairman Owen of the Democratic State
central committee has gone to Florida,
for his health, his law partner, Mr..
Page, says, and to gain strength pre-
paratory to setting the State campaign
In motion on next Monday when he ex-
poets TO be at his Office again ready tor
business. In the meantime nothing OF
public nature will be undertaken In the
interest of Democracy and the
candidates nominated last Thursday
at Infantry Hall MIR. Owen,
however, will probably not be idle during
about in search of health in the jungle
and among the bayous, where there are
no post offices nor city councilmen,
he is apt to formulate his
program of rallies to be submitted for APP
provai on his return. Until then the
work done will be limited to the efforts
of individual persuaders who have hopes
in the back offices and in the corner gro-
ceries.
The Repu bIicans are confident OF get
ting everything on April 3, but
they have not forgotten the unex-
pectedly close shave in the
last municipal election when the result OF
the contest for the head OF the ticket was
an open question up to the last minute.
The Republican city committee will
see to IL tAat every ward is carefully can
vassed, and every effort will be made from
now until the closing of the polls
to get out the city's full
Republican vote, and the
same plan is to be carried out throughout

there will be any mass meetings
or not, and the members of the
Young Mems Republican Club
are considering whether it will be better
TO have their regular banquet with after
dinner spanking on State politics or to
hold public meeting and invite out-of-

WOMAN LYNCHED.
To Prevent Her Giving Testimony
Against Lawless Cattle Rustlers.

OMAHA, March 1S.-A special, TO the
Bee from Butte, Neb,, says: Mrs. w. K.
Holton, OF Keya Papa County was found
dead in home last night by neigh
bors. She had been lynched. Her
body was lying on the floor with piece
of rope about ten feet long. The coroner
was summoned, an autopsy was held that
she had died OF strangulation and had
also been assaulted.
The woman was living alone, as
her husband had been sent to
an insane asylum. 1t is supposed
that the motive OF the lynching
was to prevent the woman from giving
testimony against cattle rustlers as she
had been summoned as witness against a
gang of thieves In the country. She
had borne good reputation. 1t
Yves evident she had fought a
hard battle for their life, and
honor, as the bedding and the clothing
were torn and scattered around the room.
