The daily sentinel., 1899-10-19

Ex- Secretary of Agriculture j.
Sterling Morton has had the bad
taste to try to charge a sordid
mind that thinks more of money
than honors to Col. Bryan, by
publishing the following private
letter:
Lincoln, Neb. Jan. II, 90.
Hon. j. S. Morton, Nebraska
City, Neb.: Dear Friend-Y our
kind letter to Mr.. Lease was re-
ceived and delivered. 1 think it
was we'll resolved. The p. g. was
judicious, 1 think. I am CRATE
full to you for your Endorsement.
Had hesitated to write you be-
cause 1 dislike soliciting aid. 1
assure you that it is the money
that is in the Office and not the
honor that attracts me. If sue
cessful in getting it, it will tide
me over my beginning here. With
regards to the ladies', 1 am yours,
very truly, w. j. Bryan,
The office desired was that of
secretary of the Nebraska State
Board of Transportation. Mr.. Bry-
an has been q member of con-

g that he wanted the local Office

easily succeed were it not for the petty

they cannot forget it long enough to
commend him as q good soldier to the
administration, deserving OF promotion,
and furthermore, If they did. they might
lose the Col. Sheafe democratic corting-
ent Of the republican party. While Col.
Frost can better afford to wait on his
honors for reward az q good soldier, than
they can, 1t manifests a pretty small
political spirit that would deprive brave
officers Of their own party from promo
ton because Of a little petty political
feeling On their own past.

A SECOND WINTER

Anaconda is enjoying a second winter
adm for the second time since last fall
nearly all the traffic is done on runners.
The weather on yesterday was bad, COM
posed of mud accompanied by snow, but
the streets We're lined with all kinds Of
rigs which came from the hills and
ranching community from far and near.
The merry jingle of sleigh bells now
takes the place OF the splash of mud of
three days ago and pleasure riding par
ties are ali the rage The small boy and
the coasters are again in evidence on the
hills and streets and it is not unusual to
see a farmers rig completely surrounded
by hand Sleds as it passes through the
city. The farmer who refuses the boys
such a favor is repaid by IL good snow
balling. Since the snow and colder
weather came the general health around
town is better. Business has certainly
improved and every one is made happy
accordingly.

PtNISHMENTS IN ENGLAND.

In the nine years, 1919, only five per-
sons We're executed in London.
Branding disparag ing letters on the
chest, forehead or hands was a form of
mutilation and was occasionally per-
formed as a substitute for cutting off
those emberS
Capital punishment was abolished for
q crimes between 1918 and 1924. In 1927
there were still 81 crimes punishable with
death. 1t was abolished for nearly all
these between 1882 and 1888, and remains
now for only two.
OF punishments less than death which
prevailed in England years ago mutila-
ton was one of the oldest and cruelest
Under the Danes. and even in the early
Norman times, for certain offenses men
were deprived of their eyes, or parts of
the face or body.
The pillory was a favorite punishment
in former times and it had the dubious
advantage that it might be either a very
severe penalty or a very mild, according
as the populace regarded the crime for
Which it was inflicted. AS the spectators
We're allowed to pelt the victim he often
had a very bad time of it.
The penalty of burning to death pre-
vailed from the arliest times, and strange
to say, it was practiced on what men
then considered merciful grounds. 1t
was long the special penalty for heresy,
and this because the church abhorred the
shedding of blood. And it was inflicted
on women for crimes for which men We're
hanged, as a concession to the sex of the
offender.

Charming sets, consisting of marquis

Cordings on silk understands and plain

ed by A. c. M. Co. and will cost in the
neighborhood of $50, 900. People who are
interested in the sa.na property are now
remodelling a portion of the ground floor
of the Montana hotel. That is the south
east corner where the expenditure of
$4,000 will be spent in remodelling The
old billiard hall into a magnificent ba,
room and consultation rooms for the pat
rons of the hotel. A decorator has ar
rived from Chicago and is now at work
upon the interior walls. The fixtures will
be the best in the state. The billiard
