face has the likeness Of those who

American, he was one Of the Spanish
commission, who accomplished the
treaty which Mr.. Bryan resigned from
the service to induce his fellow
democrats to ratify and has since
attacked from the stump. SEN
ator Frye related some OF the diff
culties Of making that treaty
and explained the American reasons
for the ceSsiOn of Porto Rico. the
withdrawal of the Spanish from Cuba
and the ceSsion to the United States
of the Filipino Islands. His recital
was So interesting, his style so graphic
and positive, that he accomplished
the really difficult feat of satisfying
an audience which had come to see
one man, with quite another one.

affection and appreciation with him.

CLEANLINESS.

The City Improvement Society met
on. Thursday in the parlOrs Of the
UuiOn-C Commercial club. Although
neither the membership nor the at
tendance of this society is as large as
it should be, the meetings are always
interesting and lively. The protests
against the condition of the sidewalks
is repeated fortnightly. When wO-
men can vote it is certain that there
will be cleaner walks. An occasional
NJ. Gait may have lonesome spells,
get discouraged and let the fire go
out, but what of il. if men and women
can walk on clean pavements? 1t has
frequently been claimed by country
politicians that the moral tone in
Lincoln is lower than in any other
place in the state excepting Omaha.
1t is certain that physical surround
ings have an effect upon manners and
morals. The walks of Lincoln would
disgrace frontier mining settlement.
The young boys of the high school are
set an abominable example and it
is the frequent complaint of parents
that Lincoln is discouraging place
in which to bring up boy. Around
the First National Bank a crowd of
loafers is allowed to stand from SUM-
I'D to shutdown. Some of them are
respectfully dressed and all of them
are orators and tobacco chewers who
use saliva to emphasize their periods.
They are frequently joined by police
man who has not courage enough to
ask the loafers to move on. The con-
slant sight of these idle dirty men is
demoralizing to youth who easily get
an idea that life is one long loaf, and
chew. The eXpectOrating crowd is
smaller on the Eleventh and U corner
but it is not less addicted to chewing
and splitting. Women are large tax
payers in Lincoln and there is great
Injustice in allowing few hundred
men to make the walks impossible for
them. Women of Lincoln who pay
their taxes, and have for thirty years.
are obliged to go to banks grocery
stores, dry-goods stores, the postoffice
etcetera through filth, that if men
wore skirts, would be cleaned off the
walks and stay cleaned of. This is
beautiful city. The sky is blue as

D. E. THOMPSONS SENATORIAL
CANDIDACY
And the Legislative Ticket.
Shall Perfidy be Made Profitable

Shall Perfidy be Made Profitable.
ID. E. Thompson was a candidate for
United States senator in 1899, and for
weeks sought the nomination in re-
publican caucus. As soon as he was
defeated in the caucus and Judge Hay,
ward was nominated, Thompson en-
tered into a scheme with the fusionists
for the purpose of defeating Hayward
in the legislature. The agreement
which he made with democrats and
populists under the name of fus:onists
has been repeatedly published. Mr..
Thompson is again candidate for sena-
tor, and in Wow Of his candidacy here
are few
Pertinent Questions to Republicans:
When D. E. Thompson, as a republi-
can, went into republican caucus dur
ing the legislative session Of 1899, and
there sought 20 become the party's
candidate for U. s. senator, did he not
become in honor bound to abide by the
result of the action Of that caucus,
whether that action was favorable or
unfavorable to his candidacy?
After that caucus made Hon. M. L.
Hayward its nominee. did d. E. Thomp-
son, in seeking by combination with
fusionists, political enemies of the re
publican party. to defeat the will Of the
caucus and prevent the election Of its
nominee, act the Part Of a high-minded.
steadfast, and faithful republican. or
the part Of a perfidious, unfaithful. and
unworthy candidate for Office, who, to
crafty his ambition, would voluntarily
place upon himself and willingly bear
the brand of treachery to the party
whose representatives had supported
him for the office to which he aspired?
Is man whose political action is thus
blackened by such an act Of party dis
loyalty, unredeemed by single virtue,
entitled to the support OF decent. self
respecting republicans for high and
honorable position, the acquisition Of
which must in effect operate as an en-
dorsement of his unworthy conduct in
the attempted betrayal of the republi-
can party!

The Nebraska Federation OF WON
en- clubs took quite a step upward and
onward this year. for it was admitted
by all that the most interesting and best
day was the day devoted to practical
subjacts science, the schools
and industrial questions. Ii was long

the morning and lasting until ten in the
evening. with Mrs. Platt Decker Of
Denver, and Chancellor Andrews Of the
State University. as the best OF the

Mrs. Mary Moody Pugh Of Omaha.
covered herself with glory by giving the
women bright, interesting program in
the forenoon with several short papers
which were all inside the time limit.
and in the afternoon one OF the bright
particular stars was Miss White of
Wayne, who made perhaps the most
telling speech Of the whole federation.
The applause was so great that her
time was extended by unanimous wish
and her brightness. wit and common
sense all combined to make her favor
lite. il not the favorite.
The city OF Lincoln was in it's best
bib and tucker and the weather man
smiled and kept bright days on hand in
unlimited quantities every Tit of the
time. There was only one fault. and
we will mention it first in order to get
it out OF the way. The church where
the meetings were held was SO chilly
that every woman took cold, and all
suffered from lack CT warmth every
forenoon. 1t was positively beastly on
the platform in the drafts and it was
an unanswerable conundrum on all
sides, "Why could there not be little
warmth. If only for a short time ir the
morning?"
The place of meeting was inadequate
to the crowd but larger than the WON
ems voices, SO that could not be called
fault. Why can't women learn to talk
out loud when they must talk? on
course. woman who stands before two
hundred OF her sex is in danger, there
is no doubt OF it, and il is always
miracle when she gets out alive, but the
danger is not lesseaed by making every
woman in the house either pity her or
hate her.
Miss French made very dramatic
entrance into the Federation. Just at
the right time, as Mrs. Apperson said.
when we had long, tiresome business
session and needed change and some
thing pleasant to see and hear. Her
good stories, told as only a story teller
may tell story, made everyone laugh
and laugh long and heartily, SO that she
must have felt herself real blessing.
The election OF officers was as har-
monious as such things usually are, in
fact, it was more so. The women voted
to sustain decision which one of their
number pronounced unparliameDtary
and then wished they had not done So
They attempted to reconsider it and

IL one who proved recreant to the
republican party and offered to betrsy
it into the hands OF the enemy shall be
allowed to receive the support OF the
legislative delegation from Lancaster
county, elected by republicans, will not
treason to the party be encouraged
rather than condemned!
So long as the above named candi-
dates are pledged to vote for d. +.
Thompson for United States senator is
it not the duty OF every republican to
refuse to support them for the purpose
OF showing that the action Of Thomp-
son in attempting by collision with
fusionists to defeat the nominee OF the
party is not endorsed, and that his
sreachery is execrated?
Does the fact that recently these can
didates have published card in which
they state that they are republicans,
and will go into caucus upon the quee-
ton Of senator and stand by the result
OF the caucus, warrant republicans in
voting for them? Who. aside from him
self, pretends that d. E. Thompson is q
republican, Do not his actions speak
louder than his words? Did he not
take his senatorial candidacy into q
republican caucus tuo years ago and
keep it there for nearly sixty dsye, and
when rejected did he not attempt to
defeat the caucus nominee? When
these men stand pledged to vote for
Thompson is it not evident that they
are far from condemning his action?
Are men who have no higher concep
ton Of party fealty worthy Of the sup

One day Andrew Carnegie at Pitts
burg called up one Of his New York
lawyers by long distance telephone.
The steelmaker wanted to ask q
question, but could not make himself
understood clearly over the telephone,
so he asked the lawyer to come to
Pittsburg.
The lawyer said he had an important
appointment in New York next day and
could not get away.
"Come over now, then," Mr.. Carnegie
said.
"Can't get train," answered the law
yer.
"Hire n special" was the answer
which came back from Pittsburg
So the lawyer engaged n special
train, went to Pittsburg and saw Mr..
Carnegie.

He that walketh uprightly walketh

ally will eventually drop into oblivion.
The mouth of a good man is like
we'll of life, except when he has been
eating onions.
Love covereth all sin and sometimes
it will make man think mighty
homely face is pretty.
Wise men lay up knowledge, and
sometimes that is about the only thing
they dolay up.
The rich mans wealth is his money,
the poo. mans poverty is his children,
his dogs and his shot gun.

by man that knows less than you do.
A multitude of words wanteth not sin,
yet some preachers are declared godly
men.

The e Old Time Doctor.

when 1 was young fellow" said
the man who notices things, "the fam
lily physician attended to all the Ills of
the family, and the specialists Of the
profession were wholly unknown. The
country doctor was a surgeon as well
as physician. He was almost always
clever and usually had remedies of his
own invention for common ailments. A
large number of the successful patent
medicines now before the public are
prescriptions of the old time country
physician. l couSAname a dozen such.
"Old DR.. Hill, who was the leader in
the town | grew up in, was called into
the country by an urgent message one
night. He wasn't advised what the
patient was suffering from and upon
arrival found it was an liberated tooth
that was subjecting its owner to al
most unbearable pain. Not a surgical
instrument did the doctor have with
him, and his office was seven miles
away. Did he send back for his in
struments? Not much! He extracted
that tooth with an ordinary hammer
and nail to the complete satisfaction of
his patient and himself. I'll wager he
made a mighty good job of 1t too."-
