RAPED AND MURDERED.
Awful Fate of a 11-Year-Old Girl at
Omaha-Lynching Averted.

Omaha, Nov. 4-The murder and rape
of little Ida Gaskill, a 11-year-old child,
last night, was positively traced to Geo.
Morgan, a teamster, who lives near
where the body was found and who was
the last man seen with her. His cloth
ing was covered with blood when ar
rested.
So great was the feeling against the
prisoner that he was hurriedly removed
to the penitentiary at noon. Later
committee appointed by those favoring
lynching went through the Jail to satisfy
the people that the murderer was not
there. They were orderly and drawn
more by curiosity than by any disposi-
ton to violence.
Early in the morning, as soon as the
papers had given out their information
of the terrible crime, a crowd was about
the door of the morgue. The body was
taken to the ground floor and then ad-
mission was granted to all. From that
early hour until a little after noon, when
it was thought advisable to shut the
doors and refuse further admittance, the
morgue was thronged. A steady line of
people poured in, each person stopping a
moment to gaze with yelling eyes upon
the innocent face. 1t was estimated
that before noon 5000 people had looked
upon the dead body. They were men
of all classes of Observation-Disclosures and
men of no occupation. There were
many women also, of all classes, among
them evidently many mothers whose fea-
lures, while bedewed with tears, eX
pressed a fierce something which caused
the mems faces to harden.

HERR LIEBNECHT'S REMARKS.
Berlin, Nov. 4.-The Vorwaerts, the
Socialist organ, says that Herr Liebnecht
is being prosecuted for the speech he
made in opening the annual Socialistic
congress at Breslau.
Herr Liebnecht said on that occasion:
''The highest authority in the land throws
down the gauntlet and insults us. Let
us take up the challenge, no matter who
he may be who casts this mud at us; he
above his insults"
This was in reference to an anti-So-
cialist speech made by Emperor William.
Herr Liebnecht concluded his speech
by saying: "The German empire would
first collapse, but Socialism will triumph.
A violation of universal suffrage would
be equivalent to the death warrant of the
imperial government"

than intelligent as to remedy. Every
consideration of decent politics, good
government and the iberalizing of sump-
tuary laws required the success of the
reform ticket. One mans obstinate
folly and the unreasoning anger of the
people have defeated it. The large Re
publican majority in the State will stand
as a monument to this sort of virtue that
exploits itself in regulating other people.
The wider consequences of the result
are grave. 1t means the strongest pos
sible nomination by the Democrats for
president and the hardest struggle in
years as the basis of a hopeful campaign
next year.

Boston, Nov. 5.--The hopes Of the

buried beneath an avalanche of ballots.
Hardly a town that voted shows n

would be three votes against female suf-

TAMMANY'S TRIUMPH.

New York, Nov. 5.-The Morning Ad-

Although the figures of the Tammany
vote show that the organization has pos
sessed greater strength than has been
supposed, the success of the Tammany
ticket is no surprise to citizens who have
intelligently observed the progress of
events. The triumph of Tammany is
due first of all and above all to the
blunders, the apathy and the incapacity
of its opponents. Another and the
most humiliating of all the causes of
fusion defeat was the betrayal of re-
form by some of the men who are bound

at this hour the new ballot law has

their party column, but on the whole
the vote as cast represents fairly well
