Maine enjoys the distinction Of hav-

ex-senator of the United States, James
w. Bradbury. He is the last OF the OLD
school statesmen in the state OF Maine,
yet today, at the age of 81, his Intel
lectual powers still are unimpaired, and
he Is as keenly interested In the
events of the day as any man In the
country. Mr.. Bradbury was IL years
old when Maine was admitted into the
Union. He remembers when Generai
Lafayette made his second visit to Am
erica, and tells many anecdotes OF MS
triumphal tour through the New Eng
land states, and especially OF the en-
thusiastic reception which he receiver
in Maine.
He cast his first vote for Andre"

Hide and Seek.

The pursuit of Cervcra's fleet is not
without it's parallels in history. The
search for Sir John Franklin was
great deal like trying to find a needle
in a haystack. His expedition was last
spoken in July, 1S45, and thereafter
disappeared without trace into the then
unknown maze of sounds and ISLANDS
between Baffinland and British North
America, comprising sixty degrees OF
longitude and nearly twenty-five OF lat
itude, hidden in Arctic darkness, bound
in ice and covered with snow for the
greater part of every year. More than
twenty expeditions searched that i'm
mense area, first for the explorers, and
then for documents telling of their
fate. but it was not until 1859 that Sir
Francis McClintock, in command Of
Lady Franklin's forlorn hope, the lit
tie Fox. succeeded where 80 many had
failed. Nelson's celebrated quest after
the French fleet, previous to the battle
OF the Nile, throughout the Mediter
ranean, and to the West Indies, is an
other notable historical example o
hunting for a man who had just left.

and has won his recent fight on the
regular party ticket. Like most OF
the men who have come to the front
in western life of late years, Judge
Hayward came originally from the
east. Born in Wellsboro, N. Y, De-
cember %, 1910, he was q years old
when the war broke out. He enlisted
in the Twenty-second New York in
fantry, and was afterward transferred

charged in December, 1852, owing to
disability arising from sickness. On

Hayward followed. He studied law
at Whitewater and came to Nebraska
City, where he has since resided. He
never held any Office except that OF
member of the state constitutional
convention in 1873, and short term
on the bench in 1886, when he filled

OUR CLUB WOMEN IN LONDON
American Organization Lately Started

American Organization Lately Started
in English Capital
A woman's club has lately been or
ganized in London by Americans.
The American club woman is not to
be subdued merely because she hap
pens to be somewhat far from the land
OF her birth. The latest development
of the woman's club is the organiza-
ton founded by the women from this
country who live in London. The club
has been as carefully organized as II
it were in an American city, and
rooms have been engaged in one OF
the leading London hotels. In order
| that the women may see one another
| frequently and not have time to lose
interest, an arrangement has been
adopted by which during nine months
of every year the club members Will
be certain to meet once every four
weeks. Then a luncheon will be given
During the late summer and at otnei
| times when the members are not likely
to be in London the regular plan Of
meeting will be abandoned. The OBJ
iect of the club is to provide FOL
American women in London a place o.
meeting similar to those which exls
there now for English women. INT
American residents of London hav'
enjoyed the privileges of the women
clubs, but they have come to feel tina
they would probably enjoy themselve
much more in a club that would b.
American as well as limited exclusive
ly to the use of women. So the CLUB
quarters were engaged in one OF tn
largest London hotels, and the exten
siye club life of London has receive
another addition. The women's CLUB
of New York have never been so POI
ular with the sex or so generally sue
cessful as those of London. The onl
!, effort made to establish one of tines
organizations on an elaborate bas
failed. The club as an institution
, however, is far less necessary hel
, than it is abroad, whatever the parti
!. ular character of the organization ma
!, be. That is shown by the great
number of London's clubs. They ma
not be SO elaborate or luxurious
: New York's organizations OF the san
:. kind, but they are more numerous al
:, are less frequently in financial emba
: rassment.

DOG CEMETERY
Regularly Maintained In Hyde fark
London.

A good natured, intelligent dog Is
something that all of us can't help put
like. 1t is doubtful, however, II any
of us would advocate having regular
dog cemetery or carefully kept public
burying ground for even our own IA
vorite dogs. But this Is just what
they have in Hyde Park, London, En-
gland. The English people, and par
ticularly the lords and ladies, are prob
ably more fond of dogs, and pay Ia
more attention to them than do the
men and women of any other country
in the world. They make a great deal
out of them in the way Of hunting
companions and pets generally. FER
haps it is not so very remarkable
then, that these wealthy lovers OF dogs
should provide cemetery for these
great pets of theirs. Anyhow, they &c
so. and right in very prominent par'
| of their big city of London, too. Ii

clarcd against the Whitney program.
The latter had one more card to play.
He could buy the Chicago convention.
BY that time certain influences were
little tired of putting up money. Get
it in England" they said to Whitney.
To England he hied himself. In June
he returned we'll loaded with funds.
He went to Chicago week previous to
the convention. AS soon as the dele
cations began to arrive they were met
by his emissaries. He believed that
they would be easy prey. But ne
learned a lesson in generalship. In
stead of the kind of men that made up
the past two national conventions he
found old war horses like Harris OF
Tennessee, Altgeld of Illinois, Thur
man of Ohio, Campau of Michigan, Tur-
pie of Indiana. Very soon Whitney
found that he had not the slightest
show to win, that he had really come
| to attend the funeral of Clevelandism.
| And such it proved to be. OF the 900
delegates, few were found to raise their
voice in favor of the principles ad-
vocated by President Cleveland. The
| constructive genius had won against
money. From the tumult and uproar
Of the convention arose majestic fig
ure. a master hand in politics, and
withal a statesman of the very high

himself to the rank and file Of his
party. Even at ward and precinct con-
yentions his name is often heard, and

national committee been acknowledge
with such marked reverence. Perhaps

Cars without Wheels

Street cars without wheels are the
latest novelty in vehicles. The cars
run on ball bearings, and being near
the line instead of raised above 1t,
are not subject to the same amount OF
resistance in the form of centrifugal

If the Democratic national committee,
whose recent illness in Washington
caused widespread anxiety throughout
the nation, is one of the most saga
,ious political generals of the century.
The people generally know OF the oV-
erthrow of Clevelandism in the Demo-
cratic party, which found its best
expression in the Chicago platform OF
1896. While it is ON every hand ad-
mitted that the revolt came from the
rank and file, the movement needed the
guiding hand of some great leader, ana
early in the year 1895 the work OF or
yanizing the forces fell to the Arkan-
sas statesman. Pitted against him
was w. C. Whitney, the financial pill
lar of Clevelandism. Whitney had
millions at his beck and call. Jones
had little money, but great ability. BE-
sides a great principle was involved.
Such battles are invariably fought IN
secret. Emissaries from the opposing
camps were busy in every state pre-
pairing for the struggle at the grea'
Chicago convention. Mr.. Whitney
poured money into Nebraska, Illinois
Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Ken
lucky and Ohio. Jones poured litera-
ture and saw that the country papers
we're supplied with matter. Whitney
