great pain of body and mind which she

went to her room and threw herself
completely upon the mercy OF the

NEBRASKA sENAToRsH1P.
Candidates in Case o
senator Hayward's Death.


Omaha, Neb, Nov. 21.-The fatal Ill
ness of United States Senator M. L..
Hayward at his home in Nebraska City
has discounted republicans who strove
SO hard to secure the election of a re-
publican United States senator to sue
coed Senator William Vincent Allen,
whose term expired last January. In
the knowledge that he has suffered the
third stroke Of paralysis, 1t is not diff
ficult to reach the conclusion as to the
probable duration of his life.
The popocrats are already planning
for the Hayward succession, although
their talk is confined to their party and
club circles. w. NJ Poynter is the pop
ulist governor of Nebraska. Should a
seat in the United States senate be va
Gated it is the duty of the governor to
fill such vacancy by appointment until
the sitting of the next regular session
of the legislature, which is not due until
January. 1901, the date, by the way, of
the expiration of Senator John NJ.
Thurstons term in congress.
Ever since the defeat of William Vim
cent Allen to be his own successor in
the senate he has announced his candi-
dacy for the Thurston succession, and
the fusion politicians have to a certain
extent conceded the office to him, pro-
yided they can overwhelm the republi-
cans in the next legislature. Meantime
however, Governor Poynter appointed
ex-senator Allen to the district bench
of the Ninth judicial district In the
state, and the ex-senator was elected to
that office this month for the statutory
term of four years. There is a strong
movement, however, setting in in favor
of another course which has for its
purpose the defeat of Allen. 1t is said
that should Senator Hayward die, Gov
ernor Poynter may at once resign his
office, TO be succeeded, of course, by
Lieutenant Governor Gilbert, who will
forthwith appoint Poynter to the Unit
ed States senate. Gossip further toys

Years ago. Just what this anti-Allen
| movement may amount to later on is
| difficult to forecast, yet there are many
| populists as we'll as Bryan democrats,
| who claim that the senator has been
fully rewarded for his party service and
| that there are many other Nebraskans

makers say that should Hitchcock be
appointed it would be with the under
standing that he would not go before
THE legislature for election, but would
do everything in his power to secure the
4 election To the senate of Governor
| POINTER in return for the favor. Ex-
| Senator Allen. however, Is very strong

opened in the Midland hotel yester-
day. Sixty delegates from various
parts OF the country are in attendance,
one being woman-Miss Mamie
Stoessel, of Ottumwa. la. The morn
ing session was devoted to the custom
airy addresses of welcome and responses.
Chief among the questions that will be
discussed at this con vention are the six
O'Clock closing law aud the prohibition
of child labor. The association will
draw measure which will be present
ed to congressman in every district, in
the hope that the matter of six o'clock
closing will be brought to the atten-
ton of the makers OF laws. Another
probable issue of the convention will
be the question OF women's wages. An
effort will be made TO pass a resolution
declaring that where women do the
same work as men and do it as well
they should receive the same wages.
A great mass Of routine business will
also be acted upon. The Retail Clerks
National Protective association was
organized nine years ago. 1t now has
a membership of nearly 5000, and
through It's efforts many beneficial
changes have been effected.
