NEBRASKANS ABROAD.
Some OF Those Who are Temporarily In
| Washington.
| From the State Journals special cor
respondent: The Nebraska contin-
gent who are willing to serve their
country are all here and strictly on
| deck. They are Il little blue this even
| ing over the announcement that APP
| pointments may not be made very
shortly, and that the tariff. rather than
patronage, is at present prominent in
| the presidents mind. Every eye is
| turned to Senator Thurston, who is
looked upon as the Moses to lead them
| to the promised land.
The presence of Hon. Church Howe
| in town for a week or so past has
caused the gossips to speculate upon
! his chances for securing something
| under this administration. just what
he has his eye upon is not certain. hut
| it is believed that he came to Wash
ington cooked and primed with an APP
plication for appointment as third
| assistant postmaster general. Senator
Thurston, it is understood. has Mr..
Howe's claims for recognition under
| advisement.
Nominations for Office have not yet
begun to come into the senate in force.
When they do several holdover post
Offices in Nebraska are likely to be
filed by nomination of Major McKin-
ley. Mr.. Cleveland made the nomina-
ton of Charles A. Huck of North Bend,
Dodge county; L. w. Leeper, Oakland,
Burt county: John M. Smith, Cozad.
Dawson county; S. W. Kelley, Beaver
City, Furnas county, and Francis A.
Simords, Cedar Rapids, Boone county.
All of these nominations lapsed by the
expiration Of the Fifty-fourth congress
without any action being taken upon
them. All of them occur in counties
that will be represented in the next
house by popuiists and it will conse
quently fall to the lot Of Senator
, Thurston to recommend appointecs for
these positions. As the vacancies in
the offices have now been waiting for
some time the nominations will doubt
less be among the first that President
Mckinley will send into the senate.
A. d. Pecbles of Pender is also in
evidence as an applicant for the Omaha
and Winnebago Indian agency now
held by Capt W. H. Beck. PEBBLES is
said to have Senator Thurston's back
ing.
1t is rumored that Representative
Eugene j. Hainer of Nebraska is to be
pushed for one of the assistant secre
taryships of the treasury. Mr.. Hainer
has been in bed for three weeks and
the report cannot be verified.

Free transportation of Corn TO Suffering
People in India.
A special to the Omaha World-Herald 4
says the Nebraska relief commission
has given out the following:
After much correspondence and other
labors on the part of the Nebraska
relief commission, arrangements have
at last been completed to transport all
donations of corn from Nebraska for
the famine-stricken people OF India
free of charge from the Missouri river
to the shores of India and the homes of
famine
Last month the committee notified
the public through the newspapers of
these arrangements. We again appeal
to Nebraska people to make generous
contributions for this great and needy
charity. Let it be known to the world
not only that Nebraska abounds in
productive fields and abundant crops. !
but also that it's people are able to !
the needs and sufferings of |
their fellow men everywhere. and are !
prepared to give from their own abun |
dance. We appeal also that such con
tributiOns as are made. be made |
promptly. The ravages of the India |
famine bring hundreds every day. men.
women and children. to the untimelv |
death of hunger and disease: the needs |
are present and fearfulIy imperative;
what is done should be done quickly to |
silence the cry of hunger among the
myraids of India.
Aside from that the committee is
anxious to complete its task at as early
a date as possible. SO it asks that all |
OF corn and money be
made as quickly as possible.
For further information wlite to the
secretary of the relief committee. Fl.
