There were no scenes attending the de-
parture of the Thirty-ninth. as mcst Of the
men were strangers here and very few peo-
pie were present to bid them goodby.
Major Taylor, who returns to the Islands,
was visited by a number of friends and rel
atives, who spent the greater portion Of
Saturday with him and wishing him God
speed.
During the absence OF the Thirty-ninth the
fort will be garrisoned by four companies
of the Tenth regiment and one company of

Cuban campaign. Most Of the boys were at
the battle of San Juan and in half dozen
fights. They are all young men in splendid
health and are spelling for an opportunity
OF going to Manila and engaging in a brush
with the Filipinos. In fact they were con-
siderably disappointed that they were not
called upon to go at this time.

REPUBLICANS IN FURNAs COUNTY.
Judge Tucker of Humboldt Points
Ont FnlIncy of Democratic beliefs.

OXFORD, Neb., Oct. 15.-(Special.)-T
opera house was packed to overfiowing last
night to listen to an address by Judge L.
A. Tucker of Humboldt Neb. The judge
was heard with marked attention for two
hours while he pointed out that the free
trade bill passed by Cleveland and heartily
supported by Bryan had caused the hard
times and panic of 1898 and resulted in
the birth of the populist party. He showed
up the falacy of free silver, proving that
every promise made by Bryan had been
broken
No party favors trusts and the republican
party not only resolved against them in 1888,
but passed law in 1890 making it Grim
inal offense subject to fine and imprison-
ment for any person to form a trust, which
was repealed by the enactment OF the Will
son bill.
He closed by urging the voters of all
parties to unite with the republicans in
showing to the world that we are standing
up for Nebraska, for our country and our
flag.

MERIT, THE HOPE OF SUCCESS.
Chairman Tent Sets Forth Reasons for
Victory of Republican Candidates.

Victory of Republican Candidates.
LINCOLN Oct. 15.-(Special) i'm re-
sponse to request from the New York
Times for n review Of the political situation
in Nebraska, Chairman Orlando Tefft of
the republican state central committee
has telegraphed the following:
"The republican committee does not in
dulge itself in prognostcating very much
as regards to results We are engaged in
securing the results and think our time is
better employed in that regard, but on the
proposition as to the probability Of the re-
suits OF the election in Nebraska this year
We are very confident that the state will go
republican this year for the following rea-
sons:
"First-We have an excellent ticket. The
candidate for supreme Judge is a man whose
record on the supreme bench, where he
served six years, commends itself to all
lovers Of Justice and uprightness. His de-
cisons were marked by a broad compre-
hension of the law and by an unswerving
devotion to the principles of exact Justice
There was complaint among a great many
republicans when he failed to be renom-
mated at the close OF his term. A good
many republicans give that as their reason
for joining the popullst party, which was
then in its infancy. These men are already
eyincing a determination to return to the
reput lean party because thy think the nom
ination OF Judge Reese indicates that their
ideas have been TO certain extent yindi-
Gated. His opponent is a discredited poll
tician.
"Second-The candidates for regents Of the
university are men eminently fitted for that
position. They are men Of culture and de-
voted to the best interests OF the university.
The people OF the state also realize that the
university in the past, while under repub-
lican control, has always been free from po-
ltical influence and they fear that Nebra ska
might follow in the footsteps OF Kansas If
the university were turned over TO the con-
trol OF the fusion party, Nebraska is an in
tensely loyal state 1t has had in the Phil
ippine Islands a regiment which has made
the name Of Nebraska known throughout the
civilized world. We are immensely proud OF
our boys and 1t is extremely dificult for any

LADYsMITH, British Colony OF Natal,
The last railway train from Newcastle has
come in, bringing all the government Off

had not been captured up to noon today al
though the surrounding country was en-
tirely in the hands Of the Beers.
We are supposed to be living here in a
state of war, but Ladysmth has all the
aspects Of peaceful garrison town in Eng

attack us. They certainly have missed their
opportunity, for now consider the strength

which 800 men, without draught animals.
