ANDREW DEBNEY's CASE.

/ This morning at the governors office there
| was received a transcript of the insanity
proceedings against Andrew Debney, the con-
victed wife murderer of Nance county Deb
ney was sentenced to be hanged and the
supreme court affirmed the verdict of the
Jury and fixed the day for the execution,
January 10. The transcript shows that Deb
ney has become insane since his conviction.
The attention of the district court was first
drawn to the fact by the sheriff of Nance
county. The court ordered a venire to be
issued for twenty mon. A jury was en-
paneled and Debney was tried in the district
court for insanity. He was adjudged insane
ordered sent to an asylum, and the court
suspended the sentence of death. To the
attorney general the governor referred the
transcript and asked his opinion regarding
the legal status in which the insanity pro-
ceedings leave the case. This opinion is ex-
pected at an early day, but it is said that
existing conditions will necessitate Debney's
remaining in some asylum until he recovers.
Should he do SO the governor may order
his execution.
+. Y. Robertson of Kearney was at the
capitol today. He was once prominent
banker in that city, but now processes to
feel more confidence in the results Of irriga-
tion than in the rise and fall of financial
ventures. He says that this year, on ir-
rigated land, he raised from forty acres
5000 bushels of potatoes At the present
low price, 80 cents bushel. this will give
a gross return OF S2,400. Last year, on
irrigated land, he raised $500 bushels, which
he held until this spring and sold them for
81 a bushel, Mr.. Robertson believes in
smaller acreage and more irrigation.

Interesting York County Criminal
Case Settled Finally.
YORK, Neb, Nov. 22-(Special)- jury
in the case against Frank Hazelett, who was
charged with attempting to kill his brother
in-law, George Kingen, and which case has
been going on the entire week, brought In
nine hours, acqutting the defendant of the
crime This case has been thoroughly dis
cussed throughout York and surrounding
counties, and nearly every person in York
county is familiar with the facts. George
kingen. paroled convict. was residing at
the farm of John p. Widup in the south
eastern part of this county. Hazslett's farm
Is directly across the road from that of
Widup's. For several years there had been
q feud existing between HaZelett and Kingen,
who are brothers-in-aw, and both were
known to be constantly armed for conflict
with each other. Kingen had been to the
village of Cordova day last spring, and
returning, while crossing a small bridge
near the home of Hazelett was shot in the
back twice with a double barrelled shot
mortally injured. In drawing up the COM
plant the county attorney was at the time
compelled to draw up two counts against
the defendant one charging him with mur-
der and the other with intent to kill How
ever. after being taken back to the peni-
tentiary, Kingen rallied, and has since then
become quite well again, although the wounds
may yet cause his death. Hazelett's plea
was self-defense, he alleging that before he
shot Kingen, Kingen had attempted
to draw revolver on him. During the trial
the court room has been thronged with
spectators, and the case has been freely
discussed by people of this city.

IN the next General Assembly Of

are going to be able to control it, and
prevent such legislation as win react
against the party at the next general
election. The liquor question is great

legislation to regulate the traffic in
liquor will be sprung. 1t may be the

MEDICAL WRITER'S.

The best medical writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal ca
tarrh must be non-irritating, easy of
application, and one that will. by its
own action reach all the remote sores
and liberated surfaces. The history
of the efforts to treat catarrh during
the past few years proves that only
one remedy has met these conditions,
and that is Century Catarrh Cure.
This safe and pleasant remedy has
mastered Catarrh as nothing else has
ever done, and both physicians and
surgeons concede this fact. The most
distressing symptoms yield to it..

CoXEY did his part in conducting
the Republican side-show and now
has a larger bank account than he
ever possessed as a result of his la
bors in behalf of the Republican par
ty in Ohio. 1t is beyond comprehen-
sion that intelligent Democrats could
be led into the Coxey- Republican
trap. CoxEY's campaign was bare
faced fraud from its ineipiency to the
close. The Hobo Chief visited only
such counties as could be worked up
on to the detriment of the Democrat
ic party, and in all his speeches he
directed his attention almost exclu-
sively to the Democratic party. All
this should have been sufficient to
put Democrats on their guard, but
when Coxey was discovered slipping
into Columbus and holding confer
ence with Chairman Charley KurtZ,
of the Republican State Committee,
and receiving instructions from him,
and pay for the services he was rem
dering the Republican party, it was
time for all Democrats to realize the
part the Massillon tramp was play
ing and to not assist him in deliver
ing the goods he was hired by the
Republican committee to deliver.
The result of the election in Ohio
should show to those Democrats who
were deceived into voting for CoxEY
the base purpose to which they were
unwittingly put by the unprincipled
COXEY.-Delaware Herald.

THE Chicago Tribune publishes
the plans of MeKinley's friends to
force his nomination at the National
convention. The. plan is to secure
the state delegations that come first
on the roll call, and thus stampede
the convention for him. They think
they can secure the colored delega.
tions from Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida and Georgia. But the col
ored delegates are mighty uncertain
as Sherman discovered after Alger
had gotten in his fine work. Then
again, even Ohio cannot be depend
ed upon, for it will be remembered
that in 1892 Foster carried Ohio in
his pocket for Harrison, but when
the time came for casting her vote
nearly all of it went to another man.
The other presidential candidates are

discover that he hasn't a dead sure
