BRYAN 10 THE DRUMMERS.
He Addr. sses the Nebraska travelling
Mems club.


LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 5.-The fourth
annual banquet of the Nebraska Travel
ing Mems Bryan Club was held tonight
at the Lincoln Hotel, and following the
meetings of the State Central Commit
tees of the Democrats, Populists, free
silver Republicans, attracted notable
gathering Of supporters Of Mr.. Bryan
from all three parties, not only of Ne
braska, but from neighboring Western
States. Nearly 200 travelling men and
t leir guests sat down at the tables
shortly before 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Bryan S address was the feature.
He complimented the club on the in
creased Importance of its banquets and
praised the members for their political
zeal. Touching on national topics, he
said in part:
"We are now near enough to the
national convention to feel assured that
there will be no considerable opposition
to the reaffirmation of the Chicago plat
form. The late elections destroyed the
last hope of those who sought to modify
or subtract from the creed enunciated
at Chicago in 1896 The Republican
party has been driven under the lash OF
inanciers to the open espousal of the
gold standard, and spurred on by the
national banking corporations, it has
avowed its purpose to drive the green
backs out of circulation and substitute
bank note issued and controlled by
the national banks.
1.-THE Democratic party still contends
for the restoration of bimetallism at the
ratio of l6 to |, the only ratio advocated
by those who beIieye in the double
standard. 1t also contends for the
greenback as against the bank note.
''The members of this club were op-
posed to the money trust i'll 1896, ano
they are not surprised that the vicious
trust principle has been extended to in
dustrial combinations which have in
three years thrown, out of employment
large numbers of commercial travellers
The Democratic party will deal with the
trust question, not in glittering generali
ties, but in specific terms, and will in
vite the support of all those who are op
posed to the denomination of private
monopolies."
Mr.. Bryan discussed the trust ques
ton at some length and then taking uE
the subject of Imperialism, said:
Commercial travellers who soughr
the extension of trade by peaceful anC
legitimate means will not lend their sup
port to the imperialistic methods en-
ployed in the furtherance of conquest
The commercial traveller has beer
eminently successful as persuader
He will not substitute violence fol
reason.
The questions now before the people
are but different manifestations of |
vicious principle which pervades al
Republican policies, namely, that th'
dollar is all-important, and that the
struggling humanity deserves no con
sideration."

AN ErlDEMIC OF SMALLPOX.
How One Thousand Gases We're Treat.d
at Lared", I, Xns,

EDITOR HERALD:--I noticed by yes
terday's paper that we had smallpox
sure enough here in Columbia. Many
people are fooishiy hysterica about
that disease. Ten years ago we were
living in Laredo, Texas, ton the Mexican
frontier) when that city of 1000 popu-
atlon had about l, 200 cases of this dis
ease in one winter. We were not scared
to death" as some people put it, but
went at it in a business like way to pre-
vent its spread. a the families that
had 1t were not only quarantined and
guards pos ed on certain streets, but
their supplies were delivered to them
free of charge. 1t was the duty of these
guards to issue rations to all these in
tested houses; the supply wagon making
the trip every morning. These wagons
were supplied from commissary filled
by popular subscription, and the
amounts were freely given. The people
had two motives in giving, viz: First,
to help the needy; secound, in self
defense. BY keeping the infested ones
at home there were no means of
contagion. Ibis move was not
made, however, until the plague had
assumed large proportions.

not to touch the gate or fence; what

nurse picking them up. The white lady
who did the cooking for this institution
had never had smallpox, nor was she
afraid of catching it. The room adjoin-
ing the kitchen had window shelves.
The nurses would put the empty dishes
on this shelf, the cook emptying the food
from hers to them, without laying on OF
hands. The nurses washed their own
dishes. The grocer delivered his goods

MORTALLY
WOUNDED.
William ElIiStOn Shoots His
BrOther-in-Law,
Edward Sinclair, at Keysburg, KY
The Former is IA SOn-iD-Law of
Gen. w. II. jackson.
SpeclaI 10 lIIE HERALD.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 6.-At Keysburg, Lo-
gan county, Ky, this morning, VIM.
Elliston shot and mortally wounded his
brother in-law, Edward Sinclair, cashier
of the Deposit Bank at Rossville, Ky.
Elliston lives in Nashville, and his pee
pie are wealthy and prominent here.
He is the son-in-law of Gen. w. H.
Jackson, the proprietor of Belle Meade
Stock Farm. Sinclair is also well
known and highly connected in this city.
The scene of the killing is about
seventy miles distant from the city, and
not accessible by wire, consequently,
only meagre details have reac he'd Nash
vile.
The two young men were on hunt
ing tour, and were spending the night
with Nose Wall, a wealthy young
farmer and their mutual friend.
The news from Kentucky said Ellis
ton had fed, but he has been seen in
Nashville since noon to-day. The quar-
rel was concerning Sincair's wife,
Elliston's sister. EIliston accused him
of mistreating her.

SALOON LICENES RAISED
From $50 to 5000 by the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen.


and Aldermen.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
met last Thursday night in regular
monthly session. All of the Aldermen
except Messrs. Cant aid Craft were in
attendance.
The most important business transacted
was the passage of an ordinance providing
revenue for the ensuing year. This Or
dinauce adopts the levy made by the
Stare, which increases the tax on priv
ileges, thereby raising the tax on a
number of things and considerably in
crossing the revenue of the city. Among
other taxes increased is that on saloons,
which is raised from $50 per year to
5000.
The Mayor reported that he had let a
contract for building city pest-house,
for S33l96.
The chairman of the fire committee
reported that the expense that would be
incurred by using three horses to the
fire engine would be about $500. The
matter was referred for further action.
The salaries we're allowed and an or
dinance fixing the revenue for 1900 pass
ed, after which an adjournment was
taken until the first Thursday night in
February.

SUPREME COURT OPINIONS.
Two Decisions Rendered in Cases From
Maury.

Maury.
The following opinions were delivered
in the Supreme Court Saturday:
State of Tennessee vs.. Ed Ferguson:
Ferguson was given one year in the peni-
tentiary on the charge of assault with
intent to commit murder. The court
was not satisfied with the conviction on
the facts. 1t was also held that the trial
Judge was in error in declining to let
in evidence of what occurred just before
the affray in question in this case, that
the prosecutor violently undertook to
knock another person off the pavement
and threatened to cut his throat for re-
sisting. 1t was shown that he was
drinking then and Immediately after
wards collided with the plaintiff in err
ror, resulting in the trouble. This tes-
timony, it was held, was competent to
show the temper of the prosecutor. The
case was reversed.
S. B. Nichols vs.. Lloyd Cecil: This
was a suit for damages growing out of a
wheat contract. The record showed that
the contract was for No. 2wheat to be de-
livered and inspected by the purchaser
at Ashwood Station. The question
whether, after the delivery of the wheat
at the place and its acceptance by the
purchaser, an inspection elsewhere
would warrant verdict of damages.
In the Court of Chancery Appeals it
was held that the compliance nf the
seller with the contract in delivering the
wheat and the acceptance of the pur.
chaser of it barred him from obtaining
damages for failure of the wheat to
come up to the terms of the contract, il
such cause existed The Court oI
Chancery Appeals was affirmed.

paration of the statistics no record has
