POLITICS LIVELY IN OMAHA.

Omaha. Neb., Nov. 2.-The closing
of the campaign in Nebraska at Oma-
ha tonight promises to be a most eX-
citing affair. Bryan will be here and

has been divided and the Republican
parade will not touch Barnum until

arrives in the city and is to be escort
ed up Farnyham street to the first
gathering which he will address.

A CHRISTMAS TIP.

The thousands of Texans who came
from the South Atlantic states find
much pleasure in reverting to the hap
py days of long ago when they were
children, and often they awake at
night to recall those scenes of yore,
which gave to life charm, and which
now come, in later years as visions Of
Joy. There is a tender spot in ev-
cry heart for the old home, and the
memories which cluster about the
dear old spot are solaces in the weary
weary struggle we make day by day
to build In our new Eldorado a home
to which our children in future time
will turn, as we turn now to the old
place where our loved ones In the ey-
ening Of life await the final summons.
The Texas & Pacific railway COM
pany again offers you the opportunity
to go back to the old home. Round
trip excursion tickets will be on sale
from all points on the system on Dec.
Dist and 22nd, 1896, to points in the
southeastern states, at one fare for
the round trip, tickets good thirty
days from date of sale. See your
nearest ticket agent for further in
formation, and do not fail to send 8
cents postage to the undersigned for

JAPAN'S NEW TASK.
Wants To Civilize COrea And Assist
China To Development.

Wants To Civilize Corea And Assist
. China To Development.
New York. Nov. 2.-The World this
morning publishes the following cor
respOndence from Toxic, Japan, I'M
der date of Oct. 20: Count Olga Shi-
genObu has entered upon his duties
as minister of foreign affairs. He
assures your correspondent that moth
ing in the relations between Japan
and America or in Europe seems To
call for any immediate change in pol
icy, but with respect to eastern cOun-
tries, it is desirable to infuse greater
energy into the councils of the empire
than has lately been exhibited. For
many years it has been Japan's wish
to rescue Corea from political chaos
and to assist it in organizing its ad
ministration upon basis that will en-
able it to hold a position of indepen-
dence not alone for it's own preserva-
ton but for the general security of
eastern Asia. To institute measures
TO promote the moral welfare and ma
terial progress will be among the tasks
Of the new cabinet.
Among the duties awaiting the gov
eminent few seem to be more worthy
than that of trying to win the conf
dence of China and to secure her CO.
operation in developing the civiliZa-
ton she has hitherto resisted but the
advantage of which she can easily
share by following the course that ia
pan has clearly marked out.

ELECTION NEWS WILL BE SLOW

Chicago, Nov. 2.-The public must
be prepared for a later service on
tomorrow's election than usual. 1t
will be borne in mind that hitherto
in presidential elections New York
has been the pivot state and that the
polls closed there at o'clock in the
afternoon. Telegraph facilities were
of the highest order and the difference
in time between that city and the
west enabled the Associated Press to
practically determine the result of
the election before midnight. This
year interest will center chiefly in the
states west of the Alleghenies and par
ticularly in states west of the Missis-
sippi. Much of the advantage in
time is lost. As a rule the polls will
close at late hour and Geographic IA
cilities are comparatively limited. In
the state of Illinois there is provis-
ion for amending the state constitu-
ton and in Chicago another for the is
sue of local bonds, both Of which I'M
der the law, must be counted first,
and this will necessarily involve some
delay. 1t is needless to say that ev-
cry effort will be made to prosecute
the work as rapidly as possible but
the limitations above indicated exist
and it is well that they should be I'M

WEATHER FOR ELECTION DAY.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 2.-The
weather bureau today issued the fol
lowing special weather bulletin for
election day: Fair and pleasant
weather with about normal tempera-
ture prevails this morning in all
states except as follows:
From two to four inches of snow
have fallen over South Dakota and
snow is still falling with probable
ity that it will continue today and to-
night. In North Dakota about two
inches of snow have fallen in the SOU
thern central part of the state and
conditions are favorable for mOder-
ate snow fall today and tonight in
the eastern half of the state. In Ne
braksa a light snow will probably fall
in the north half of the state. In
Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the upper
half of Michigan, the weather is clOu-
dy with conditions strongly indicat-
ing an unpleasant day Tuesday with
light rain or snow. In lower Michi-
gan clouds are gathering and the con-
ditions are favorable for warm wealth
err on Tuesday with clouds and occa-
SiOnal showers; in Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri and Iowa the weather is
warm and pleasant today, but clouds
are now gathering and conditions are
uncertain for Tuesday, with the weight
of evidence in favor of generally fair
weather. In Washington and Ore
gon, rain has fallen every day dur
ing the past week, making the condi-
tiOns bad for travel in the country
and probable heavy clOudineSS and
moderate fall of rain will continue
in both states Tuesday. In all 9th
er states the weather chart this morn
ing gives strong indications of fair
and pleasant weather for Tuesday.

New York, Nov. 2.-There is no
doubt that people in touch with the
Republican national committee have
received very strong assurances in
the last few days, as to the outcome
of the election. The leading interests

on boom Wednesday morning could

Tobacco people are keeping rather
quiet as to the contemplated dividend
action after election. Some interests

which will not endanger future profits

BRYAN IS HUSTLING.

York, Neb., Nov. 2.--Seven o'clock
this morning found Bryan speeding
westward from Lincoln on his last
days work of campaigning. The first
stop of the day was made at the town
of Seward. This is a Republican
place and there was an exceptionally
large display of yellow badges fully
half the crowd being decorated with
the Republican emblem. Bryan, was
however, respectfully received and
listened to with marked attention.
The appearance of the golden colors
in his own state seemed to put the
candidate on his mettle and while he
talked for only about 10 minutes he
delivered a very pointed address.

is IT MURDER?
Young Girl Found Stabbed To Death
In Mexico City.

City of Mexico, Nov. 2.-The body
of a young woman, aged about Is
years, was found in a field near San
LaZaro, an eviron of the city, and she
had evidently been murdered.
She had been stabbed in the right
breast and in the stomach and these
wounds caused death. The indica-
tiOns are that the wounds had not
been self inflicted and there seems to
be no question that she was foully
murdered. The police have the case
in hand, but have not established the
identity of the girl nor gained any
clue to the murderer. The idea pre-
walls that there is a love romance in
the case and the girl was inveigled
to the lonely spot by lover who MUIR
dered her.
