Services Held SATURDAY..

Throug q misinterpretation OF q
message over the telephone the body
Of Jay Smith was permitted to arrive
in the ci,y Friday afternoon with no
ono at the depot to receive it. In the
afternoon it was stated that the remains
would arrive over the Omaha late in
the evening and consequently little at
tention was paid 10 possibility OF
its coming by any other route. When
the south train over the Milwaukee
arrived at 5:45 it was first learned that
the remains had come by that route,
when il was thoroughly understood
that they would come by the Omaha
road. AS result the relatives were
not present at the train, and neither
the friends or the G. A. r. were able to
be present, as WAS their wish and in
tention.
The remains were taken from the
car and placed on the dray and con-
veyed to the United States express

notified. AT the express Office the

THE DEMAGOGUE A BAD MAN.
John Temple Graves Reveals the
Character of the Individual
in Politics and Business

in Politics and Business.
If any one of the magnificent audi
ence which gathered at the opera
house Saturday evening to hear John
Temple Graves had an indefinite idea
of the political demagogue, or the DEM
agogue in business or religion before
the address they certainly left the hall
with pretty good idea of that individ-
ual. In summing up Mr.. Graves de-
clared him to be one of the most in
solent specimens of his kind and one of
the most dangerous men in the Ameri-
can society today. From the time that
DR.. Graham introd uced the lecturer to
his audience he held the undivided at.
tention of the people through an in
telligent discussion of the demagogue.
Although the gentlemxn had delivered
the lecture in Mitchell some six or
seven years ago it was nevertheless en-
joyable, in which many new ideas had
been introduced that had the effect of
making the lecture more interesting
| than on its first delivery. The DEM
agogue was the most positive menace
to our institutions and his malignant
work could be seen through all grades
OF politics from the ward precinct to
the highest councils in national affairs.
The demagogue threatened the perpe-
tuity of republican rule and had driven
honest men out OF politics and displaced
them with the insolent, subservient
creatures of his own kind. The remedy
of the speaker was still higher stand
ard of intelligence among the people
and education in civic affairs.
Mr.. Graves made slight depression
in his lecture to refer to the new
duties which confront this government
territory. Although OF different
political faith than that of the admins
tration he held that the government
was proceeding in righteous way to
dispose of the duties that had been
assumed. He paid high tribune to
the president of the Uui.ed States in
in the conscientious performance OF his
duties and believed the executive to be
actuated from motives that were pure
and honest. And while on the war
question he referred to the obliteration
of the line between tho north and south,
made so by the men Of these sections
marching shoulder to shoulder against
common enemy-it had done more to
change thesoutnern sentiment than any
thing that has occurred Since the war
of the rebellion. OF all lectures that
that have been given in the course 1t
can be said that Mr.. Graves gave the
greatest satisfaction. Possessing q
full command OF the English language
he mploys some beautiful phrases 10
express his thoughts. And the senti-
y ments he expresses found frequent en-.
dorsement by the applause OF the
audience.
The next attraction of the lecture
j. and concert course will occur on the
J. evening of Feb. %, when William
: Hawley Smith appears, and which the
8 people can be assured will be fully al
s entertaining as anything else on the
It course.

KANSAS REPUBLICANS.


Topeka, Kan. May l6.-The real is
sue in the republican state conven-
ton which will assemble here at II
o'clock to-day will be the selection
Of chairman of the state committee
to succeed Morton Albaugh, who Is
candidate for reelection. Albaugh
is identified with the Leland element
of the party and is being vigorously
opposed by the so-called anti-boss fac
ton.
Nearly all the delegates have ar.
rived and the convention promises to
be one of the largest in the history
of the state. Gov. Stanley and other
state officers will be renominated by
reclamation. There is contest for
only one place on the ticket-that of
congressman at large. Charles F.
Scott, of lola. and d. w. Blaine, of
Pratt, are the candidates, with the
chances in favor OF the former.
The anti-Leland delegates to the
number of 324, held a caucus yester-
day afternoon and decided to carry
the fight over the state committee
into the convention and attempt to
overturn the old custom of permit
ting the committee to choose its
chairman. They are, however, d.
yided on the issue, a number of those
who oppose the leadership of Leland
having come out for Albaugh on per.
sonal grounds. Gov. Stanley himself
is championing the cause of the pres
ent chairman, who was chosen at his
request two years ago.
1t ia understood that Cyrus Leland
Is not candidate for reelection as
national committeeman and it is prob
able that M. A. Lowe will be selected.
The resolutions will indorse the ma
tional administration in every partic.
ular and the delegates to Philadelphia
will be instructed to vote for the re-
nomination of President Mckinley.

legislature shall elect his successor.
Senator Clark's resignation was filed
Aasly In the day with the governor
nd last night he was appointed by
Gov. Spriggs to succeed himself.
0ov. Sprlggs has all along been a
G1end of Senator Clark, during his
candidacy for the senate and since,
although he preserved the utmost i'm
pertiality In his office as lieutenant
governor and president of the senate
during the senatorial campaign.
Gov. Smith, partisan Of the DAILY
people, left the state two weeks ago
Tor California to attend to some min
eag cases In which he is retained as
AttOrney. At that time there was
~ thought Of Senator Clark resign

would be unseated by the United
states senate. The resignation filed
yesterday came as surprise to the
people OF the state who had no ink
bng Of the coup prepared. During

many kilograms from all over the

DEWEY AT KNOXVILLE.
The Admiral Visits the Birthplace OF Far.
rAgut amt Uuvriis the Memorial Stone
"A Portrait Given to Dewey.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 16-Admiral
George Dewey and party spent the
largest part of yesterday in visiting
the birthplace of Admiral Farragut.
The trip to the place was made down
the Tennessee river by steamboat and
at various points along the river the
popuIace gathered in great numbers
and greeted the admiral as he passed,
At loves ferry, where Admiral Far
ragut was born, memorial Of Ten
nessee pink marble had been placed
by Knoxville chapter of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution.
Around this stone large throng of
people gathered and witnessed the
unwilling and dedication of the me-
mortal stone by Admiral Dewey.
Admiral Dewey, in his speech re-
ferring to Admiral Farragut, said:
81 cannot tell how deeply grateful
| am that you have given me an OPP
portunity to pay my homage to the
memory of Admiral Farragut, that
great naval commander-in my opin-
ion the greatest in the annals of our
country. This opinion have formed
not only by reading of his gallant
deeds, though these might well be
deemed sufficient for the purpose, but
from personal contact with him, hav-
ing served in his squadron under his
immediate command. Though | was
then but a young man, | am proud
to say that Farragut was my friend.
Many years ago | took him for my
special example and in all the impor-
tant epochs of my life, particularly
during the most recent years, | have
always thought before deciding upon
a course of action, when a crisis was
pending, what would Farragut have
done under similar circumstances?'"
In accepting a portrait of Admiral
Farragut, presented by Judge 0. p.
Temple, Admiral Dewey said few
words in thanks.
The special train carrying Admiral
Dewey left via Asheyille for Washing
ton at six o'clock.

suited in no choice. One ballot was
taken yesterday, but none of the AZ
odd candidates received the necessary
two-thirds vote required under the
rules. The number of votes cast was

the first ballot. Investigation proved
the rumor to be incorrect and the
information leaked out that there was
no choice on the first. Balloting will
be resumed to-day. Al
