LINCOLN CO. COMPLETELY IGNORED

ShstEman ]. D. Elliott called the Re-
Publican state convention to order on
Wednesday, Aug. "a, at 1890. and after
invocation by President Graham OF
the University, the names OF J. NJ
Greene Of Chamberlain, and Harvey J.
Rice Of Huron, were placed before the
convention as candidates for temporary
chairman. Not until late Tuesday night
was Mr.. Greene's name mentioned. and
had it not been for the anti-machine at.
titude Of Mr.. Rice, probably no opposi.
tion to the latter gentleman would have
materialized. The ballot resulted in the
election Of Mr.. Greene BY 10 majority,
the vote being $40 to 1928. It was first
blood, and represented clean cut ma:
chine deal.
Upon taking his seat, Mr.. Greene
spoke briefly Of the.g o. p. war record,

astratln was so absurd as to cause Us to
y I'm from further mentioning his po-
iitical ideas. He did say that he was
not the tool or agent Of any clique, gang
or combination. Looking back to 1895,
when he was refused membership on
the Brule county delegation to the Alb
erdeen convention and the fact that his
defeat this year would have been accom-
plished but for the presence Of King
Kit in Brule county couple Of weeks
since, it is plainly evident that he was
not the choice Of Brule county; but as
we gazed down the list Of counties cast
inp Greene votes, we can not see how
Mr.. Greene can have the nerve to dis
claim Kit as his advisor and boss. J. F.
Halliday Of Iriquois was elected secre-
tary.
On motion the chair appointed com
m;ttees on credentials, resolutions, per-
manent organization, and rules and or
der Of business, to which he appropri'
.ted about As minutes Of the conven-
lions time, the greater part of which

near the chair and stood guard lest the
insurgents might put up q job too deep
for Joe's comprehension. The conven-
ton adjourned at 2:15to meet at $50 p.
M, at which time reports from the var
ious committees was to be submitted:
The convention met at o'clock and
after hearing the reports the convention
proceeded with nominations.
r. J. Gamble, G. H. Burke, Robt. Dol
lard, s. II. Elrod and j. A. Picker were
placed in the field. The former two
bearing the stamp Of Kit, were selected.
For governor, X. G.. Phillips, Q. 8.
Clifford and II. NJ. Finnerud were plac-
ed before the convention. O.S. Clifford g
nomination was seconded by J. A. Pick
Ter, Gen. Silsby and number Of other
state politicians who urged the necessi-
ty Of old soldier representation on the
tiket. Mr.. Picker spoke Of the g. Q. p.
being the home Of the old soldier, and
implored the convention to recognize
that organization which, ont Of $40 del
egates present was represented by a135
old soldiers. For while it looked as If
Mr.. Clifford could not be turned down.
The vote was called and the counties
representing Kit cast 40 votes for Phil
lips, while Lincoln county's old soldier
candidate received but 1856 votes, Fin
nerud receiving 4s votes. The Finnerud
vote was simply : store-house for Phil
lips. As Finnerud was trading stock from
the start. Minnehahs cast so votes for
Phillips, and for Clifford. Turner cast
90 votes for Phillips. and for Clifford.
Clay cast IA for Phillips and for Gift
ord. Does anyone doubt the presence
King Kit and his manipulators? Two
years ago Lincoln county cast their en-
tire vote for Turner county's candidate
for attorney general. Did they recipro-
cate?
There were three candidates for lieu
tenant governor, ]. T. Kean of Sanborn
being the choice. A Mr.. Gurnsey, an
old soldier Of Deuel., was before the
convention, but received the chilly paw
from Kit.
w. H. Roddle was nominated for sec
retary Of state by acclamation.
John Schamber was nominated for
treasurer, J. D. Reaves for auditor, E.
E. Collins for superintendent, David
Eastman for commissioner, J. L. Pyle
for attorney general and VIM. Smith
for railroad commissioner, by the same
gang that stood by Phillips.
The Black Hills, Brown, Yankton,
Clay, Turner, Minnehaha, Hughes and
the unorganized counties voted unit
for the machine, together with the few
traders who had candidates.
At every turn Of the road Lincoln
was turned down and it is not to be
wondered that the delegates feel hurt.
The ticket is weak. There is not an
old soldier nor Scandinavian on the
state ticket. There were 1876 old soldier
delegates and large number of Scandi-
navians, and there were Scandinavians
and old soldiers proposed for many offic-
es, but the slate was so completely
bound that it was impossible to rear
range matters in the convention hall af-
ter Kit, Elliott, Kennedy, johnson &
Co. had ordered it nominated.
It was somewhat discouraging to
man who places national patriotism
above party politics to see the abundance
of Spanish yellow ribbon on the coats
of the delegates.

Gus because of the news from France.
The net effect of the news from Paris to-
day is that France is once more full of
revolution The third republic. although
still nominally in stu. no longer exists.
The long expected upset has arrived at
last, and has arrived, almost to the very
day. exactly fifty years. since the revo-
luton Of 1913.
The coup detat of General Boisdeffre
differs from the coup d'etat of Napoleon
III. only in the degree of brutality of its
accessories. When the chief of the
French general staff, the nerve center OF
the gray matter Of the brain which di-
reefs, controls and governs the whole
armed force of France, enters into a court
of law to proclaim TO a jury that unless
the render a verdict to his liking, the
chiefs who are at the head of the army
and who organize the national defense
are ready to leave their task TO Others
there is no longer any republican form of
government in France"
Paris, Feb. 19.-Ohcial utterances here
on the subject of the West African trou-
bles decry the alarmist view of the situa-
ton taken in Great Britain.

WALK ASHORE!
A YOUNG WOMAN'S PERIL
AND HER PILOT.
How She Drifted Into Danger and
How She Was Saved.

It all happened at one OF those pleasant
seaside resorts. where life is comedy from
day TO day and tragedy has no place. She
just stepped on the raft, which she
thought was moored. and in pure idIeness
of mood fell to rocking it from side TO
side, as she watched the white sails shin
ing in the sun. far out at sea But the
raft was not moored. Her rocking had
slowly disIodged it from the sand. on
which it was grounded. and when she
turned around she was afioat. and the
shore rod behind her. She cried for help
and was heard by a lonely fisherman who
sat at some distance on the beach mend
ing his nets. How slowly he got up.
How slowly he tramped across the sandy
shore. And she was drifting. drifting.
drifting! Save met she cried. save
met as the old man came to the water :
edge The grizzled mariner raised his
hand to the side OF his mouth and cried
hoarsely: Walk ashore!"
Walk ashore!
That's all there was of It. She was still
in shoal water. All she needed was the
timely word of instruction and advice.
But suppose it had not come? Suppose
she had not needed It? Was there no
danger? The open sea, a frail raft and a
Trailer woman! There are all the posi-

SOLD FOR EIGHT MILLIONS
Final step in the Kansas Pacific sale
il Taken

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 19.-The final step IN
the program of the sale of the Kansas
Pacific railroad was taken today when the
entire line from Kansas City to Denver
was sold under the consolidated mortgage
for $S.OO0oOO. Judge W. d. Cornish read
the decree and offered the property for
sale and Mr.. Alvin ". Krech bid it in for
s. 900, 600.
But few people outside Of the railroad
men and attorneys interested in the mat
ter were present at the sale today. The
party arrived al the Union Pacific depot
a few minutes before II o'clock and just
at the hour Judge Cornish started TO read
the decree of foreclosure under the con-
solidated mortgage. When he finished
Mr. Krech offered the 10000 on behalf
OF the reorganization committee and the
matter was ended. This completes the
sale Of the Kansas Pacific road and all
liens against the property government
and otherwise are now wiped out.
The attorneys and railroad men left To-
peka for their respective homes this af-
ternOon.

GAG RULE IN Z0LA'S TRIAL
Judge Allows Every One to Talk But
the Counsel For the Defense.

Paris. Feb. 19.-The crowd present at
the lola trial today was very large, but
comparative quiet was maintained. NJ.
Laborie, counsel for NJ Zola. asked Col
onel Picquart if the bordereau was writ
ten in March or April 1894, and the wit
ness answered that he did not remember.
General Pellieux refused to answer
questions put to him in conformity with
his statement yesterday that it was for
the advocate general to deal with ques-
lions outside of the Zola case. He added
Il am of the opinion that throughout
this trial strange things have happened
A person here" turning towards Colonel
Picquart. land I say it to his face (sen-
sation), who still wears the uniform of
the French army, comes to this court and
accuses military men of having committed
forgery and of having turned it to ac-
count" prolonged cheers from the back
of the court.)
To this Colonel Picquart replied: 81

chiefs and for jstice TO withhold the truth
and I say it again, in the presence of my
Chiefs
~ also say the soldiers are animated by
good faith said NJ. Laborie, Out
You are making a speech" interrupted
the presiding judge.
NO" replied NJ. Laborie, 'I wish to es-
tablish something of great Importance
and they are trying to intimidate me-"
''You are making a speech" said the
presiding judge again, 81 shall have to
stop you"
II am obliged to you every time you
stop me-" said NJ. Laborie. ''as you there
by confer fresh honor upon me-" (Cheers)
This caused General PelIieux to remark,
''He has just played with thecase, and
played with it against my Will
NJ Laborie began to comment upon
these statements, but the presiding judge
threatened him with disciplinary punish
ment if he did not cease talking.
The action of the court caused row in
the back of the court room and NJ. La
borie passionately addressed the disturb
ers, saying:
What reioices you is to see right and
justice violated more and more every day.
Then, addressing NJ. lola. NJ. Laborie
exclaimed:
81 ask myself whether it would not be
better for US to leave the court than to
allow ourselves to be treated as we are
treated" (Uproar in court.)
Colonel Picquart said the paper referred
to in Major Ravary's report appeared TO
apply to an officer of a line regiment
rather than to a staff officer. Several
witness including Anatole France, testi-
fled to NJ. ZoIa's courage and good faith.
The court announced that the council of
ministers had declined to authorize eGn-
eral Billot. the minister of war, to ties
tify. and the defense made the announce
ment that it would not cal lany more wit
nesses.
The court then adjourned until Monday.
The case will conclude on Wednesday.
After the lola trial the Socialist mem
bers of the chamber of deputies will pub
Iish a protest against the attitude Of the
officers who were called as witnesses.

MAINE SURVIVORS AT KEY WEST
Always sure of an Audience on
Annearing on the Streets.

New York. Feb. IA dispatch to the
Herald frcm Key West says: Public inter
est III the destruction of the Maine at
Havana continues the al-absorbing topic
of discussion in this city. The arrival or
departure or a torpedo boat to or from the
flagship New York, which still rides at
anchor outside the bar at the entrance
to this harbor, never fails to attract a
crowd OF idlers, who are convinced that
in some manner it is connected with the
deplorable accident.
The presence on the street of the sur
vivors with bandaged heads or injured
bodies. never fails to draw crowds. Those
still in hospitals are rapidly convalesc-
ing and the majority, whose injuries were
slight, will shortly be discharged from
the institution a cured. Others, however,
whose wounds are moret serious, must re-
main crippies for life.
Frank L. Thompson, petty officer Of the
Maine, now under treatment at the
Marine hospital, says that shortly before
the explosion he was on the port gang
way. A little later. just as he fell asleep,
he felt a shock lie an earthquake. Open
ing his eyes he saw what appeared like
a hurricane OF flames, by which he was
hurled into the air, falling into the water,
whence he was rescued and taken aboard
the SPANISH war vessel He is firm in the
belief that there were two distinct eXplo-
sions and that the first did not occur in
the magazine.
He says the magazine had been visited
bat a short while previous and that its
temperature was cool. He had never felt
that the slightest danger menaced the
magazine, as he had previously seen II
SO warm during target practice that ne
could scarcely lay his hand on 1t.
