collection of the revenue of the Col lector's office than his own, and that from this fact I deduced the remark ableeonclusion that should be nom- mated for Sheriff over himself. This is not true. But if he will allow ef- ficiency to he the test, I am entirely
 willing that an informed and intel ligent public shall judge the two ad- ministrations. I may have made Oyersights. but let the comparison be made. 1 had Ho thought of party politics in my former Statement, hut Sheriff Trlplett, by nice phraseology in his reply, cunningly alludes to Dr.
 Thompson as his REPUBLICAN pred ecessor, whose administration would make more efficient than that of himself, a Democrat, and thus, by inference, invites attention to the fact that l was deputy under q Re- publican, and now since he injects the political feature, am also quite
 Willing to comparison of rec ords in that respect True,
 Dr. Thompson is q Republi- can, and true also is he white man and a gentleman, and the Democrat ie party of this county demanded, and i'll manner forced, his nomina- ton to relieve the people from the bossism of Republican ofIice-hold- ing oligraehy, composed of Silver man, Hayis, Spellman, Battles and others. And it is true that by the advice of many good Democrats, 1 accepted the Chief Deputyship under him, and I am glad that 1 did so. But how is it with my opponent the FINANCIAL. Sheriff-Mr. Triplett?

respect to person-to the best of my ability. And upon the following platform I base my candidacy and solicit your support:
 No nepotism in office.
 IT.-Eficient and polite deputies. III.-No negroes buying scrip for me, and no aid or countenance to any scrip ring.
 IV.-More revenues to the county as before, and less trouble to the community.
 VI will be Sheriff ONLY, and not dictate to the other county officials. VII will devote my entire time to the office, and will give the people any information in my power, upon any county matter.
 VIII will not exercise my power to defeat any bills in the next Gen. eral Assembly for the good of the community nor will l endeavor to get bills passed for my own personal interest.
 WILL will use my best efforts as a citizen to advance the interests of free silver. Respectfully,
 EDGAR BREWSTER,
 Democratic Candidate for Sheriff.

A MAIL POUCH LOST.
The Mysterious Manner in Which The U. s. Mail from Sarassa to Warner Dis
 appeared.

Postmaster l.. M. Drennon, of Cummins, is in the city, and to a GRAPHIC reporter last night he gave an account of the disappearance of mail pouch and contents under very mysterious circumstances. On last Monday morning Frank Palmer, negro mail rider, who carries the mail between Cummins and Warner and intermediate points, arrived at Cummins and reported the fact that his horse had thrown him and he had lost his mail pouch.
 Searching parties were sent to look for the pouch, the negro ac- companying them. Palmer carried the searchers about three miles off the main road and told them that he was making near "cut off'' by that route, when his horse took fright at some boys and threw him, after running some distance. The pouch of mail has never been dis covered and it Is believed the negro was either robbed or Is in collision with those who stole the sack. There was one registered package in the pouch.

Is he equally proud of the fact that when, as Democracy lay pros trate and crushed under the iron heel of the Republican mis-rule and spoilation, he accepted a deputyship under the NEGRO REPUBLICAN TREAS URER, ]. c. Battles, and by causing his bond to b. made, foisted upon the people this negro in an office he never could otherwise have filled? At this time was his concern for and love of Democracy so consuming as at present manifested? I would not allude to this fact, but for the covert fling at me in his reply. Further continuing our political comparison, it is we'll known that when the De- mocracy of this county sought in 1892 to rid the county of the grace less Republican set that had mis- managed it for years, Mir. Triplett opposed the organized effort, while on the other hand, I gave it my heartiest support. And by this ac- tion, straight-ticket Democratic sue cess was made possible for the fu ture. And yet my opponent is one of the first to seek the fruits in office of the action he so strenerously oppos- ed two years before, and now braz- enly proelaims himself the instigator of the straight ticket movement. It must also be remembered that he held the office Of Treasurer for two terms on a compromise ticket prior to this.
 Now, returning to the matter of revenues, Mr. Triplett claims for Dr. Thompson's first years collections, $142, 7324, while his own first year was $l49, lS6S2, which is true. But remember the Legislature, by reason of the overflow, extended $4,S50 of Thompson's, and the levy for Trip lett's first year was < mills greater than in Thompson's, which would raise $9,000 more in round figures. And in this connection I may say the people will not soon forget the wreck and ruin entailed by the dis astrous oyerflows of both 1892 and 1893, followed by the money panic of 1893. Both years covered in Dr. Thompson's administration.
 I now refer to Mr. Triplett's plat form, which reads in part as follows: "Enforce the laws in all cases with out fear or favor." 1 ask did he en- force the law as to the 9 per cent. penalty on delinquent lands? If so, why do the records show penalty re- mitted in certain cases, and not in all? And in the matter of whiskey license, why is it that some are re- quired to pay early in January, while others do not pay till Febru- ary, March, and even April, as dis closed by the records, and all selling at the same timep
 These inquiries are pertinent in view of the above facts. Following
 
 done his duty faithfully under the law, why is it that in plain viola tion of See. 6579 of our statutes pos itively prohibiting him or his depu- ties from dealing in county war rants, he so constantly, systemati- cally and industrionsiy exercises himself in the purchase thereof.
 Section 6579 reads as follows:
 SEC. 6579; No collector or deputy collector shall, either directly or in- directly, contract for or purchase any orders or warrants issued by the county of which he is collector, or any state warrants, or town or ders, or the orders or warrants of any city, town or other body polite for which he is the collector of taxes, at any discount whatever upon the

markable statement that one of the
features of the debate was to be a
friendly contest of the ancient Ro-
mans. Livingston always has claimed
that she stood in the front rank of
progress, but she has not yet reached
that point where she can resurrect a
sufficient number of ancient Romans
who will consent to engage in a friend
ly contest for the edification of even
the debating society. The paragraph
referred to should have read: THE de-
bate was to be friendly contest upon
intellectual lines, tra-distinguished
from the contests of the ancient Ro-

lone of the most amusing sights ever
witnessed was near Beatrice, Neb., said
y. T. Barnes of Omaha at Wizards.
There are a few Otoe Indians near
Beatrice, their reservation being down
the Blue river a short distance. A New
York man has a 12-year-old son who
has became addicted to novel reading
and the boy ran away from home two
or three times in order to fight Indians.
The father found that whipping the
boy did no good. and concluded to send
him to an uncle who lived in Beatrice,
which he did. together with a letter
asking the uncle TO devise some means
for so thoroughly frightening the boy
that he would never want to fight In
dams again. The uncle concocted a
plan. He had some friends in the Otoe
tribe. and he arranged with them to
attack a party that would come down
the river next day. go through the war
dances. give war whoops and fire blank
cartridges.
1.-THE boy was invited TO go fishing
the uncle remariing that they might
find some hostile Indians. and had bet
ter go armed. The lad was delighted
and a party of half a dozen, including
me, started down the river. Suddenly
we were attacked from ambush by the
Indian braves. We returned their fire,
and with blood-curdling whoops they
started for us. We started and ran,
leaving our boat tied TO a tree. All of
us retreated except the boy. He stood
on the bank OF the river. He had dis
carded the empty Flobert rifle we had
supplied him with. and. taking a re-
volver he was not known 10 have out
OF his pocket he was fighting the whole
party Of Indians. The first shot grazed
an old chief. and with wild cries OF dis
may. they ran into the woods. Then
the boy tainted us with being towards
and the whole population Of Beatrice
knew the next day that we had been
attacked and would have been killed
but for the prowess Of the youthful
warrior"
