REPUBLICANS LOSE NEBRASKA
PopuIists Claim Poynter's Election
by 5000 Majority.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 10.-Hayward (RepD,
for governor, is apparently beaten by
probably 1000. but the Republicans insist
that the official count will have to be
made before they concede the election OF
Poynter. At Populist headquarters a
claim of 5000 majority for Poynter was
made.
The Republicans win the legislature by
q narrow margin, probably four on joint
ballot The official count will have TO de-
eide between several claimants.
In four districts the Republicans have
less than ten majority and the opportuni-
ties presented for fraud have caused
watchers to be placed at every canvass.
Much bitter feeling is being engendered
and there may be some clashes. The Pop
ulists claim one majority on joint ballot,
but Senator Allen admitted tonight that
1t looked as though he was beaten Stark,
in the Fourth; Sutherland, in the Fifth:
Greene, In the Sixth-all Populists-and

BANDITS HOLD UP A TRAIN.
They Blow Open Local Safe, But
Fail on the Through One.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Nov. 10.-The Great
Northern through train which passes
through this city at 7:S0 p. M, was held
up about five miles west of here tonight.
There were eight robbers in the gang,
all well armed. Two of them evidently
boarded the blind baggage in this city.
The train was scarcely out of town
when these two climbed over the tender
and presenting revolvers told Engineer
Bruce and his fireman TO stop at lonely
spot near the Pelican River bridge.
Arriving at this place the train was
stopped and the engineer and fireman told
to leave the cab. The other members of
the gang rushed from the woods and
boarded the express car. All wore hand
kerchiefs over their faces The gang was
regularly organized and went by num-
bers.
When the train stopped the conductor
and brakeman started forward to find out
the trouble, but the bandits fired num-
ber of shots and warned them to keep
back
They then compelled the express mes
senger to leave the car, while three or
four stood guard, the others proceeded
to blow the safes.
The local safe was destroyed, ana IL is
thought they succeeded in securing CON-
siderable money. but the exact amount
cannot be learned.
The through safe was drilled and dyna-
| mited, four charges being used. The
| jacket was blown off, but it was found
impossible to reach the inner part. They
worked over it nearly two hours, holding
the train for that length of time, but
finally gave up the attempt, and joining
their companions on the outside, started
| South. The two men who stood guard
over the engineer compelled him to give
up $40 which he had.
| The express car had been somewhat
wrecked by the explosion, but the train
men managed to get it to Carlisle, where
1t was patched up and the train proceeded
| on its journey.
| Two posses headed by Sheriff Billings
| and the local police have left the city.

REST WHERE THEY FELL.
National Cemetery May BE Opened
MT Santiago for Our Dead.

The War Department is considering the
establishment of a national cemetery
near the city of Santiago de Cuba, where
the American soldiers who died fighting
before that city can be inferred. 1t is
altogether probable that a site for a ma
tional burial ground will be laid off soon
after the occupation of the island by the
American forces.
Where the families of the departed
heroes prefer that the remains of their
loved ones be brought to their native
country their wishes will be respected but
1t Is thought friends of a majority of the
Santiago dead will prefer that they be
buried in the land fighting for whose free
dom they died. In fact many letters have
been received at the War Department
suggesting that a national cemetery be
constructed in Cuba for the final resting
place of the dead soldiers. instead OF
bringing their bodies back to this coun.

For Congress.

We this week place the name OF
Judge Z. w. Sutherlin, of Mansfield,
in our announcement column, as a
candidatefor Congress at the ensuing
election. He is thus formally placed
before the public, and becomes sub
iect to the criticisms of those he pro-
poses to represent. In this connec-
ton we will state that Judge Suther-
lin is exceptionally well prepared to
stand searching inquiry into his rec
ord as a public man. Born and rails
ed in DeSoto parish, his every act and
entire history is well known to the
people of that community, and they
are better prepared to speak for him
than anybody else. Elsewhere we
publish an article, Judge Sutherlin
at Home" from which our readers
can see the estimate his neighbors
and friends place on the man.
Aside from the TACT that Judge
Sutherlin is recommended and endors-
ed by a thousand of his fellow-citizens,
he possesses moral worth, personal
integrity, intelligence, legal acumen,
great experience, and undoubted elO-
quence, and thus far it certainly looks
like he is the universal favorite over
all corners. He possesses the very
qualities We need in Congress, ability
and strength of character, and while
we do not reflect upon other good
men who may offer for the position,
we very much doubt if any more &C.
ceptable candidate can be placed be
fore the suffragans of this district.

Judge Sutherlin at Home.

- ~A~A0C ~ AAAs ~ AAO..~Ss
We reproduce this week the petition
requesting Judge E. W. Sutherlin to
become candidate for Congress at
the ensuing election. In addition to
the $40 signatures published in our
last issue, we print the names of 276
voters who have signed the petition
since last week, making q total of
916 white voters of this parish who
have unqualifiedly endorsed the Judge
and pledged him their active support
and assistance in the event he should
become q candidate.
When we consider that there are
now only a few more than 800 regis
tered voters in the parish and will
probably not be over 1900 when the
registration is completed and that in
all probability there will never be
over 1000 votes polled at any cleo
tion in the parish in the near future,
we feel that Judge Sutherlin could
not expect or hope for anything more
than this, even from hishome parish,
as it is practically the solid unani-
nous expression OF the whole people
Of the parish.
Of course, there are some people
in the parish who have not had an
opportunity to sign the petition
There are a few men who have ever
received such an overwhelming en-
dorsement and expression from thu
people. While we heartily endOrst
the call and believe the Judge deser
yes, in every way, such recognition
and such unqualified support by TIN
whole people Of the parish, still it il
something unprecedented, and tn
Judge may justly feel proud OF tn
action of his home people.-Mansfel
