daughter, and he thanked them for
the opportunity to show South Caro-
lina's superiority. South Carolina
had past. She never had to 60 ont
Of the conflict for repairs. Carolini-
ans were not people with much
brass. They had always had brains.
(Applause.)
He then said the solid south was
solid no longer. The north was
solid against her. We are told to
divide while the shylocks consolidate.
We are told that We are fanatics.
They were now cherishing an ideal
form Of government, which could
only be obtained in one way, but can
never be perpetuated but by the men
who own and till the soil. The only
hope for US is in the west. Carolina
realizes that the foundation of all
wealth is in the country: Unless you
go to congress and make this fight
and follow the crankyism of South
Carolina and Ben Tillman you will
never succeed.
When he closed there were cries
of ':Hurrah for South Carolina"
There were loud cries then for
Senator Tillman and he came forword
slowly. The crowd had been wait
ing to hear the man they had read
about so much and it was curious to
note the expression of expectancy on
every face. When the applause died
away, he began. All through his
speech he was interrupted by alter
native laughter and applause. He
regarded Georgia as Cardinals big
and handsome sister. He was in
Joking mood and made Governor
Evans and his bachelors state the
object Of it for some moments, much
to the amusement of the crowd. He
said the governor was young and
green, but had reasonable amount
of brains and a pretty fair character.
He concluded with some impres
sive United States pension figures.
He maintained that the south had
since the war paid to the north four
hundred millions of dollars pension
tribute. This was far more than the
north had ever invested in the south.
It this money had been left in the
south she would be the most ad-
vanced country on earth today.
Someone asked him about Grover
Cleveland.
He said: There are people who
belieye that Wall street knows al
about finance, and nobody can teach
them anything and they must say
me too every time the New York
World or Grover Cleveland grunts..
L wouldn't have said anything about
old Grover if your governor hadn't
alluded to him, because I will have
better opportunity to use my pitch
fork on him when I 60 to Washing
ton. But it does my soul good to
hear the governor of Georgia
say that two little bobtailed Reform
ers attracted more attention and
drew more applause than the Presl-
dent of the United States" -
Tomorrow the Carolinians who
came on the executive special will
devote their attention to seeing the
great show in detail, leaving for
home on vestibuled special at Ills
Saturday night.

AT LAST.
The Nebraska EmbezZlsr Yves Lynch ed

tho River.

OMAHA, Neb.. Jan. 20--A Bee special
from O'Neill Gays:
The body OF Barrett Scott, Holt ccun-
ty's deiaulting treasurer who was lynch-
ed December 3lst, was found in the
Niobrara river at midnight.
The Ice in the river was cut. where the
trail OF the lynchers had bssn followed.
Yesterday and today 100 man were on
the scene dragging the river. The body
was lying in several feet of water and
only short distance from the bank.
The body bore evidence that the victim
was dead when cast into the water, aud
around his neck was piece OF rope
about three fast long, moose around
the neck in true hangman's sJyle.
The other end bore evidence OF having
been cut, showing that Scott had been
hanged until he was dead aud then cut
down and cast into the river. The body
was minus g coat, but his watch and
chain and other jswelry, on his person
the night OF the tragedy. were still
there. The face of deceased confirmed
the truth OF the story told by Mrs.
Scott, to the effect that In the fusillade
which preceded her husbands cap
ture he was slightly wounded on the
side of the face.
The coroner's jury found that Scott
had been hanged, and that George Null
Than, Moses Ellitt and Merit Roy, those
now under arrest, and other Holt county
ctizsns composed the mob.
The crime for which Barrett Scott
paid with his life on New Years day on
this year WAS the embezzement oil
| $70, 900 OF tho funds of Holt county and
the subsequent wrecking OF the Holt
County bank, practically impoverishing

Murder.

Special to THE HERALD.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 20. The dive
keepers in the vicinity of the Soldiers
home have become 30 bold recently in
their operations and there have been go
many complaints of robbery from old
soldiers that Governor Wheeler oil the
home has asked the sheriff for deputies
to protect his men. Next Friday about
5000 will be paid in quarterly pan
stone to occupants OF the home. The
occasion is always harvest to the ga.
loon keepers who do business within o
radius OF half mile from the home.
The rush OF business lasts usually for o
couple of weeks after pension day. and
during that time it is ths usual thing to
have several men report they were
dragged, robbed and thrown into the
road. During pension time it is also
usual to have two or three mysterious
deaths reported, There is no doubt many
of these in the past have been murder,
but neither the sheriff .or the police
have been able to fiud any evidence to
convict the dive keepers.
Charles Oupples, who is making war
on the dives, and whose life has been
threatened by dive keepers, will bear
the expense Of the extra police surveil-
lance, ss by construction OF law the
court does not have to pay extra dep.
uties unless there is a riot.

Special to THE HERALD.
New York, Jan 20. The order which
William Waldorf Aston gave Broad
valley and violets which he put over
his wife's grave fresh every day for a
year, was the largest single order for
flowers ever given in New York. 1t
means over 500 worth of flowers for
the grave every day. 1t means forcing
lilies of the valley during the eight
months they do not grow in nature.
There was something very Monte
Cristo like about the way Mr., Aston
dealt with the florist. The day bsfors
the funeral he walked into the shop and
said: How many orchids can you get
on "a hours notice." The florist, not
knowing to whom he was talking, said
indifferently: "Oh, about 5000" Very
well" said the caller, giving his name !;
sect all you can and have them
at Trinity in time for the tuner.
al. wans all you can get i;
twice FIVE Thousand if possible"
The florist bought every orchid he
could hear OF, but was only able to get
$500. This made the bill for orchids
alone $4,000. Aston was 30 pleased that
he gave an order for y daily cover. The
instructions are that the cover should be
renewed every day no matter what its
condition. and ell flowers in it be de-
stroyed. It takes about 1000 lilies to
make cover end the nsms number of
violets.

Special TO TIE HERALD.

Special to THE HERALD.
LONDON, an 20. -Paderew6ki and his
agent, Daniel Mayer, between them have
made an astonishing blunder, which
may seriously affect their pockets, If it
does not seriously hurt their artistic
feelings. The great pianiss has hitherto
been regarded by his worshipers as an
almost God-like artist, absolutely supe-
rior to sordid or monetary considers-
tons, and living only for art and in a
sphere for above the common crowd.
He proves, however, to be clay as
gross "a that of any fiddler who ever
played to amuse gaping rustics and ex-
tract pennies from their pockets. Not
only has he keen eye to the main
chance. but keeps a watchful look upon
the markets and does mis- own bookkeep-
ing. The trouble arose from the pre-
aumptuous actions of local manager in
Devonehire, who, after engaging Pader-
ewski to stay ct Torquay at the artists
own price, fixed the charges for admission
at the hall at 5 ehillinga and a half crown.
When the player and his agent heard
OF this they Indignantly protested
against this proceeding as calculated to
lower tho srtist's market value 80 per
cent. The very least Paderewski would
consent to play for was 10 shillings for
stalls and 5 ahillipga for balconies.
Anything less would be absolutely de-
rogatory to his position, The Devon
shire manager failed TO see why ne
ehould not conduct his part of Che bust
ness in his eva way, and Paderewski re.
fused to play at Torquey. Mayer, in lot
ters and interviews. has sinoe fully jua-
tilted this commercial visw of art. and
there is d kick among the indignant
music lovers of modest means. There
is talk Of boycotting Psderewski, and
the general feeling is that such action
would be proper punishment for his
anobbeYy.
