Seekers After Truth Refcrrcd to Re
publican State Committees.
CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-Mr. Perry S. Heath,
in charge of the bureau of publication and
printing of the republican national commit
tee, states that 1t has been decided that
hereafter all requests for literature ad-
dressed to the republican committee and
coming from individuals and from county and
city committees, from clubs and local organ
izations, will be referred to the state COM
mittees. This action is made necessary by
the enormous number of applications re-
ceived daily for literature aggregating prob
ably 5000 or 5000, and the confusion they
cause in the shipping department. All re-
quests for literature published by the re-
publican national committee should be ad-
dressed to the ohairmen or secretaries OF
state central committees and all those now
on hand at national headquarters, those
received in the future from persons and
organizations other than state committees

William L. Newby of Atchison, Kan, has
been importuning the police of Council
Bluffs and Omaha for several days to assist
him In recovering his wife. who ran away
with his cousin, George Il. Newly, about
the middle OF July. A year or more ago
Mrs. Newly became insane and was taken
10 the state asylum for treatment. Her
husband says she had not recovered from her
mental trouble when he brought her home.
She was Indifferent TO her family and did
not recognize her children. While in this
condition she conceived a strong affection
for George Newly. the cousin, and finally
eloped with him, leaving her children and
husband with equal indifference. Newly
traced them to Council Bluffs and Omaha

chief smiths Fricnds Active.

Friends of Chief Smith of the fire depart
ment are working hard to prevent the city
council from passing resolution asking for
the chiefs resignation At the session last
Monday night 1t was hinted that the res
ignation of the chief would be accepted, as
his health has been such that he has not
been able to attend to duty for a number
of months. The chief is now confined to his
bed and is unable to attend to business of
any sort. Friends of the chief stated yes
terday that they had secured five council
men to agree not to push the matter. BY
hard work Chief Smith has brought the
fire department up to it's present high
standard and his friends do not think it is
right to remove him at this time, although
it is admitted that it may be several
months yet before he will be able to re-
sumo active duty. The chances are that
nothing more will be done about the matter
for some time at least.

The Nebraska Brigade band, Uniform Rank,
knights of Pythias, of McCook captured the
large audience at Lake Manawa last even
ing. The band has been engaged to play at
the Nebraska State fair and filled an en-
gagement for Colonel Reed at the Grand
Plaza with such success that 1t was the
unanimous verdict that 1t was the finest
band that has ever played at the lake. The
organization is composed of twenty-seven
pieces, under the leadership of II. =. SUIT
ton, and while the audience was entranced
with the faultless rendition OF ROssinis
overture, 'Semiramide," it could not help
but marvel how it became possible for
Nebraska village to contain such an aggre-
cation of rare musical talent, and that 1t
should be discovered and drilled to such per-
fection as its work last night indicated. The
concert was full of special features, among
them the piccolo solo by Roy Sweet, II
year-old boy, who was given the piccolo for
the first time less than six months ago.
About twenty members of the Arapahoe
Second Regiment band were among the de-
lighted listeners to the music This band
