TONS
You believed that it was right for
the minority members to yield to the
majority, even though the will of the
people might be with the minority"
But this question was ruled out, and
Mr.. Thatcher was excused.
L. B. Critchlow told of the dinner
party at the Vienna cafe, when Mr.
McCune had said in a jocular way that
he had spent too much money in the
present campaign to lose it now. He
stated that every one of the dozen a
the table had heard the remark, and
that II was not regarded as serious by
any of them.
r. c. Chambers described his inter-
view with c. NJ. Jackson, in which the
latter had said that he would come over
10 McCune as soon as he was certain
that Judge Powers could not be elected,
and he had satisfied certain pledges
to Judge King, stipulating that he
would not do so unless the AIcCune
campaign were strictly on the square"
MCUNE'S TESTIMONY.
1--WE will now call Mr.. A. w. Nc
Cune," said the defense, and Mr.. Nc
Cune came forward and took the stand.
His testimony was given in a very
raightforward manner, and during
the direct examination he was very
calm and self-DOssessed. But under
examination he warmed uD sew
eral times and replied somewhat sharp
" and Indignantly to some Of the in
situations OF Mr.. Evans.
He said that prior to the Tuesday
afternoon before the Law charges had
been brought he had seen very little of
Law. He met him that evening, and
they went to the Vienna restaurant,
where they were joined by a number
Of other McCune men and dined. Later
they went with the others TO the Nc
Cune camp and talked there while.
There had been some talk about the
use of ecclesiastical influence in Cache
valley, and Mr.. McCune invited Law
into an inner room TO talk about il.
I'VE had scarcely got within the
door," said Mr.. McCune, when l turn
ed and asked Bob Sloan to come in
also. A moment later Joe Monson join
ed us, and after we had talked for a
while my son came. He said it was
time to go home, and 1 was virtually
a physical wreck. I went with him,
leaving the others together"
Did you, in any manner or form,
suggest to Mr.. Law that he might name
his own price If he would vote for you
the next day." asked Sam Thurman
i said nothing that could convey
anything of that kind"
Mr.. McCune then turned to the events
Of Saturday morning, and told of the
jubilation at McCune headquarters at
the prospect of an election. He said
that it was considered certain that he
would be elected that day, as Senator
Rideout and Representatives Stewart
and Larsen were to vote for him, and
Representative Richards would be alb
sent.

to talk to Law, and Law asked him

Mr.. Evans as good as he sent on every
occasion.
The day was somewhat profitable, in
that it just about closed up the case of
the defense. Mir. McCune. who was
stiIl upon the stand at adjournment
IS nearly the last witness to be eX-
amined. Mr.. Evans threatens to keep
him upon the stand for some hours to-
morrow under DISCRIMINATION, and
If that is the case, and any evidence in
Tebuttal IS put in. the hearing will
hardly be concluded before the middle
of the week, and the report of the COM

Mock Ocean III

Possibly the most striking of the many
novelties which will be offered to the visi-
tors at the coming Paris exposition will be
the "Mareorama," as it is called. This is q
great mock ocean steamer. 1t is arranged
precisely like one of the transatlantic YES
sells. has a crew and captain, and even the
motion of a ship speeding through the
waves. 1t does not move from the spot on
which it is erected, but to those on board
the illusion promises to be perfect. The
passengers are supposed to be on a journey
from Marseilles to Constantinople, and as
the last bell sounds "all ashore the harbor
of Marseilles seems to recede from the
vision, the vessel passes out to sea, and all
of the scenery of the coast passes in review.
This is done by a large number Of paint
ings which unroll in panorama fashion, and
are 50 realistic that the observers, If not
over critical, may really imagine that they
are taking the sail. The vessel rocks and
throbs as If it were really on the ocean,
and this is brought about by the machinery
which gives the vessel the required motion.
Meals are served, and if you are not care
full you will find your soup in your lap.
Genuine seasickness will be the portion of
all predisposed to that ailment, and it will
be almost as If the actual voyage were

grabbed the whip and lashed the horses.
He did not hurt them-they were far too
tough for that-but he did convey the i'm
preston that the time had come to bring
their second idea into play. They started
for the other end of that field full TIT, as
they had been taught to go under the cir
cumstances, and with the fine scorn of what
may be in the way which characterizes the
artillery. Along toward the other end of
the field 1t seemed to strike them that
things were not altogether as they used to
be in the old battery; there were no drivers
to keep the pace up and use language. But
they found a farm road which worked them
around the field nearly to where they
started. This brought them back to the
farmer. and the way in which he was swear
ing made them feel natural once more.
Therefore, when he got close enough to
them to enforce his order, although whoa"

wound up in fine shape; they swung the farm
wagon clear around with a good imitation
of battery front into action. But the wagon
was so much lighter than the piece to which
they were used that damage resulted. The
contents of the wagon were shot out upon
the advancing farmer and left him buried
under a heap. The wagon body was hurled
far away through the air and came to grief

Artillery Tactics
on the Farm

Horses in the artillery are required to
know lust three things. relates the New
York Sun. When they know these three
rieces of information they are called bat
terry broke and they are relieved from
all obligations to know another thing 'ul-
ing their careers. The first item in the edu-
cation Of the artillery horse is that when he
is standing still he Is tn stand still, regard
less of everything. until he gets the next
order. The next point is that when halted
he shall swing around in the direction from
which he has come and stand stock Sill,
and that is the ~prettiest Of all. for 1t goes
to the tune of battery front into action"
When a horse in the artillery knows these
three things he's battery broke" and he
never needs to know any more. If there
is need Of a few other bits of miscellaneous
information the horse looks to the 1rtll-
lcrvman to know them.
The simplicity of all this is what raised
hob on the farm. The commanding officer
Of the farm had bought a pair OF condemn
Cd horses at an army sale. Fine. big,
heavy beasts they We're, and there is sell
dom too much the matter with a horse when
the army comes to sell him. so there is
many a good bargain to be had in that way
so long as one doesn't mind the ~. s.
and the condemned brand on his bit Of

difference. or perhaps, he forgot to make
sure. and there was nobody at the sale to
tell him these were battery broke" horses
that knew only three things and woulf
never know more nor less.
The farmer had out his pair In a big field,
where he was busy about some # the tasks
which keep farmers busy at this time or
year. They were hitched up to a good, big
farm wagon, which took up about as much
room as the caisson and timber did In the
light battery in which these horses had
served, but It didn't begin to weigh anything
IKE as much, and was Just easy for these
two horses. All went well so long as 1t was
a question of using the first idea those
horses had The field was a big one, and
they were stopped at one end Of 1t. There
they stood. The farmer chirruped at them
to follow him along the row he was setting
out. When that was without result he
yelled Get APP" with trimmings. The order
was not military, but the trimmings seemed
natural; they reminded the horses OF the
artillery. Stilf, the order for the forward
march had not come, and the horses were
too well trained to bulge. At last the

Pen and Picture Pointers

The return home OF the First Nebraska
volunteers after a years exciting, active
military service In the philippines mas
naturally overshadowed all other events OF
the week. 1t is needless to say that the
history of Nebraska records no similar
patriotic demonstration as the various ova-
tons accorded the regiment and It's different
companies at points on the route and at
their destination. The reception at Omaha,
whose invitation to become Its guests most
OF the regiment accepted, was specially no
ticeable for the enthusiasm Of the people,
who lined the streets and shouted them
selves hoarse. While the unfortunate train
delays kept the men on the road a whole
day longer than originally scheduled, all the
inconvenience and discomforts of the trip
across the continent disappeared in the well
come OF the loved ones awaiting the reunion.
The Bee Ia specially fortunate In being
able to give It's readers a goodly number of
reproduced photographs of the scenes at
tending the First Nebraska's return. AS
part of it's series Of picture history of the
regiment, they will form an invaluable and
instructive chapter. This picture histor,
of the Nebraska volunteers has ELECTED so
much commentator, while the subjects
still untouched are so pertinent, that it will
be continued yet for several numbers, pre-
senting characteristic views taken at home,
in San Francisco and in the Philippines.
