SPURS FOR ROOSEVELT.
A PAIR PRESENTED TO HIM IN Ne
BRASKA ON BEHALF OF REPUB-
LICANs OF THE STATE.

Chadron, Neb., Oct 3-When Governor Roose-
velt mounted the platform at Chadron. where a
twenty minute stop was made State Senator
J. H. Van Dusen. of South Omaha, presented
him with set of spurs of the cowboy type. In
making the presentation he said:
was commissioned by the Nebraska delega-
tion to the National Convention of Republican
League Clubs. to appear here upon this occasion
and. in its behalf. and in behalf of the Repub-
lcans of our great State to present you the
spurs that both upon Western plains and
upon the field of battle you have so honorably
earned the right to wear. | am native OF old
New York. 1 am descendant of the Holland
Dutch, and ] see here New Yorks most distin-
guished son. of good old Dutch ancestry, the
fearless publicist the matchless soldier and the
unconquerable Rough Rider. These spurs you
will appreciate as typical of the great North
western country over which we have expanded
and which furnishes to-day large portion OF
the beef that feeds the world, and which. above
all, in this year of our Lord lvOO VIII be FOUND
in the Republican column.
Governor Roosevelt responded briefly ex-
pressing his thanks for the presentation. He
said:
Before begin my speech l want to do some
thing that 1 have not done in this campaign at
all before now, ard that Is to answer OF the
lies circulated in reference to me. 1 have not
hitherto thought 1t worth while, but have read
a telegram from Captain Allen g. Fisher stat
ing that Populists have convinced labor organi-
cations that Roosevelt said in the Auditorium
after the Pullman strike that ANY man who
engages in a strike any man who goes where
a strike is should be shot" Captain Fisher
states that some credence has been given that
statement and I therefore want to answer 1t.
Yet, it is almost irritating to have to stop to
answer such statement. for 1 should suppose
that any one of common intelligence would
know that 1 not only never made any such
statement, but that l am incapable Of making
It. At that time l never spoke in the Au-
ditorum to begin with, and I never said any
thing anywhere to any human being out Of
which could have been construed any such
statement 1t is not only a lie but was made
up by people who knew it lie, to be cir
cuated by others who also knew it to be a lie.

NAY SPEAK IN INDIANA.

The impression prevailed at Republican National
headquarters last night, after call made on Gen
eral Benjamin Harrison by Senator w. P. Frye
and Joseph H. Manley, of Maine that the ex-
President Will make two speeches for the Republi-
can National ticket he returns to
Indiana, provided his voice improves. As already
told in The Tribune, the Generals throat in bad
shape When he spoke before the Ecumenical
Conference in this city in May last he in good
voice. Now he makes himself heard with difficulty
He is in hopes that the hoarseness will soon wear
off. II is said he will consult throat specialist
before he leaves the city.
Senator Frye and MIR. Manley called on the Gen
erai at 4:3o o'clock, and remained in his room for
about half hour Afterward Senator Frye said
that the call purely social, and that General
Harrison had not said anything about making any
speeches. General Harrison's voice is so weak
that I could scarcely make out what he said'
added Senator Frye. 81 don't see how he can make
any speeches"
In answer TO question Senator Frye said that
he didn't know whether ex-Speaker Reed would
take part in the campaign. he had not seen him
In a long time. Senator Frye is to make four
speeches in New-Jersey. and then he goes to
Maryland and West Virginia.

the league, and copies have been sent to all the

No Objections From ANY Creditor Made to
the Proposed Compromise.

No Objections From Amy Creditor Made to
the Proposed Compromise.
An order to show cause was heard in
the circuit court at GAINESVILLE Saturday
why the settlement of the Bank of
Edgerton litigation recently agreed upon
between the depositors committee and
bank officials should not receive the
sanction Of the court. Fourteen attor-
neys were in court representing either
plaintiffs or defendants, the most of
whom were anxious that the compromise
go through. Judge Siebecker of Madi-
son presided and passed upon the mat
tiers brought before him. Some time
ago the attorneys for the several deposi-
tors and stockholders got together and
agreed upon {. basis of settlement, which
seemed satisfactory to all parties.
Trouble arose however when an attempt
was made to carry out the plan. The
heirs of the late Isaac Morgan, of Milton
junction, who was one of the stock
holders in the bank, are involved in a
legal fight of their own and some of the
heirs object to Mr.. Morgan's share of the
liabilities being taken out of the estate.
The Judge held however that the greater
share of the amount due on the Morgan
stock should be paid out of the estate,
VIM. Morgan being assessed the amount
of one dividend which he received on his
stock. A compromise was effected with
all the other defendants not included in
the settlement first agreed upon so that
nothing now seems to stand in the way
of carrying out the agreement entered
into by the attorneys. The assets will
reach larger sum than was anticipated
so that the depositors are likely to re-
ceive fully 80 per cent of their claims out
of the wreck.
The court ordered Judgment against
each of the defendants for the amount
agreed upon and assessed the legatees
of the estate of I. P. Morgan S2,460
and w. Fl. Morgan the sum of s35.
The court gave the stockholders a
reasonable time in which to pay in the
amount of money they have agreed to
raise and some time in June Receiver
Towne thinks he will be able to pay
dividend.

Married
Observation-Disclosures.

One of the pleasantest social events OF
the season took place at the home OF
Mr. and Mrs. J. o. Henderson Wednes-
day evening, May 9th, the occasion be-
ing the marriage of their daughter, Miss
Hetty r. to Mr.. Allan E. Skinner.
Promptly at o'clock Mrs. Alfred Hen
derson played the wedding march and
all repaired to the parlor which had been
made beautifully attractive for the occa-
sion with potted plants and flowers.
Rev. E. j. Symons performed the cere-
mony in the presence of about 80 rela-
tives and friends. The bride was very
lastly attired in white orgaudie dress,
and the groom wore the conventional
black. Miss Lottie Skinner was brides,
maid and Mr.. Fred Henderson was
groomsman. Congratulations followed
the ceremony and most excellent sup
per was served, the gvests being waited
upon by Misses Edith Maltpress and Ida
Horner.
The bride is deservedly popular and
one of our most highly esteemed young
ladies and has for many years been ac-
tive in church and social circles. The
groom is one of Edgerton's popular
young men and much respected. The
presents were beautiful and useful, in
Guiding some valuable gifts from the
friends of the M. E. church, Edworth
League and Sunday School, of which
the bride was useful and honored mem

Married Twenty Years.

The Goth wedding anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Attlessey was celebrat-
ed at B. G. Wilson's Tuesday evening,
May 9Th, and was participated in by
about 80 guests. The five grandchildren
acted as ushers and complete accommo-
dations for those present had been pre-
viously made Small tables were set
and refreshments were served in,courses.

steal program of the entertainment which
was as follows:
Tanhauser March
SuWanee River Variations
Midnight Dream Chopin
Love on the Waters Beethoven
Serenade in Handel
In CupidS Arms Waltz
Sonata in Y
Hearts Wishes
Country Club March
After refreshments some time was
passed in social converse and those who
wished INDUCED in playing games. There
was quite an urgent demand made by a
number to have Mr.. ]. p. Towne give a
description of his call on Admiral
Dewey while at Chicago, which he did,
and it proved to be very interesting
story as Mr.. Towne and the Admiral
were school boys together in Vermont in
1852. There were many presents both
beautiful and useful that will in after
years remind Mr.. and Mrs. Attlessey of
the esteem in which they were held by
their friends at the Goth mile post. The
guests on departing took occasion to
wish Mr.. and Mrs. Attlessey many more
happy returns of their marriage day and
that in 20 years hence they might cele-
brate again the occasion.
