Yesterday morning a small notice to the

ing society would hold It's first open de-
bate appeared in the Minneapolis papers
The subject for the debate read, RE

Britain

last night, would have convinced an OBJ
server that the Boer war is uppermost in

to hear all that was to be said by the

Those in attendance at the meeting
went so the subject heart and soul, and
the variance of opinion resulted in two
separate and distinct climaxes, the first
when one British sympathizer In the
audience demanded the same right to hiss

late in the evening The resolution was
to the effect that inasmuch as from
the year 1854 down to the present time the
Beers had struggled for political indie
pendence, and had gone through privation
and toll in the dark continent, and were
trying to build up homes for their chill
Cren of the future, that the sympathies, as
well as the love and admiration of the
people assembled last night, be extended
to them.
The resolutions seemed to be carried by
a good majority, but the British sympa-
thizers present raised a mighty roar. In
the first place, they thought it entirely
unnecessary to introduce further resolu-
tons at the end of the meeting They
had been arguing upon the original ques-
ton scheduled for the evening debate and
they did not think they had been defeated
by any manner of means. They were ris-
Ing to various points of order, saying that
their arguments had not been squarely
met in any particular, and that they had
had the best of the debate, as far as
actual points scored was concerned.
Scores of pro-Boers and con-Boers all
claimed the floor at once, and the chair
man saw that things were getting entirely
too warm, for him at least, and at the
top of his lungs declared the meeting ad-

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 5.-The fourth
ing Mems Bryan club was held tonight
at the Lincoln hotel, following the meet
ings Of the state central committees OF
the Democrats, Populists and Silver
Republicans. Nearly 200 travelling men
and their guests were seated at the
tables. Col. Bryans address was the
feature. He complimented the club on
the increasing Importance of its ban
'quets, and praised the members for their
political zeal. Touching on national top
les he said, in part
I'VE are now near enough to the ma
tional 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 the
f1nanciers, to the open espousal OF the
gold standard, and, spurred on by the
national banking corporations, it has
avowed it's purpose to drive the green
backs out of circulation and substitute
bank note issued ard controlled by the
national banks
1.-THE Democratic party still contends
for the restoration of bimetallism, at the
ratio Of 16 to l, the only ratio advocated
by those who believe in the double
standard It also contends for the green
back as against the bank note. The
members of this club were opposed to
the money trust in 1896, and they are
not surprised that the vicious trust prin-
ciple has been extended to industrial
combinations, which have in three years
thrown out Of employment large num-
bers of commercial travellers. The Demo-
cratic party will deal with the trust ques-
ton not in glittering generalities, but in
specific terms, and will invite the sup
port of all those who are opposed to the
domination of private monopolies'
Mr.. Bryan discussed the trust question
at some length and then, taking UP the
subject of Imperialism, said:
Commercial travellers, who seek the
extension of trade by peaceful and legit-
innate means, will not lend their support
to the imperialistic methods employed in
the furtherance of conquest. The COM
mercial traveller has been eminently sue
cessful as persuader He will not sub
stitute violence for reason. The
questions now before the people are but
manifestations of the vicious principle
which pervades all Republican policies.

FEEDING RATS
Upon Fish Stuffed With Strychnfne
and killing Thousands.

New York Journal.
The plague Of rats affecting Copenhagen
and making miserable the lives CT ship
owners, warehousemen and families has
extended to nearly all of the Baltic ports
Where on earth all the rodents come from
is mystery. The medical men say that
their presence menaces the health of the
countries, as they undoubtedly act as
carriers Of disease.
In consequence of the alarm and many
unpleasantnesses growing out of the
plague hundreds of the ingenious are at
work upon plans for getting rid of the
rats. A ship owner of Altoona has hit
upon a scheme that works wonders, and
1t is believed that If it is adopted In the
other infested cities there will be few OF
the pests alive In a short time.
At Altoona gangs Of fishermen go out
every night with seines and bring in vast
quantities of fish three or four times
larger than the minnow. These are
opened on the under side, and into the
cavity is placed strychnine. The aperture
Is closed and the fish are placed about
where the rats may get at them. The fish
are greedily devoured.
The plan has been in operation week
now, and 1t is found that it has resulted
in the death of more than LOCO rats a day.

MIR. w1LDER's ADDRESS.
He Discussed Entertainingly Heroes
and Hero Worship,


Mr.. Wilder began playfully with a story
told by Uncle Hod' Taylor, formerly OF
Hudson. In the f1fties he was with a
party making trip up the river, and as
the craft approached st. Paul Mr.. Tay-
lor remarked: This territory is largely
taken up by Nantes T" Indeed ask
ed an enthusiastic young lady, and are
they friendly with the whites?"
Coming to his toast, Her oes and Hero
Worship" Mr. Wilder said it was an I'M
fortunate theme to assign to an editor,
although 1t was true that the editorial
side did not get to know them SO well as
the business office. He had refreshed
himself on Carlyle's essays on heroism,
and his early impression that the subjects
Of his praise are all dead was confirmed.
Continuing, Mr. Wilder said:

COURTS WILL SOLVE TT.
Case of Expansion of Credit to Be
Passed Upon.

A case which involves a test of the
bankruptcy law, and in which several
Minneapolis firms are interested, will
shortly be tried In the United States
court, the litigation originating from GER
tain transactions in Pipestone county.
1t is alleged that the firm of Arrowsmith
& Co., of Pipestone county, purchased a
large number of farming implements last
spring from about twenty-five firms,
among the number being the j. l. Case
company Smith & thinner and Dean &
Co. 1t appears that Arrowsmith secured
the goods by representing that he owned
a half section of improved land, on the
strength of which he expanded his credit
to the amount of $4,000. 1t is also claim
ed that he recently transferred all Of his
property to his brother without giving
the five-days' notice as required by law
The Minneapolis creditors have asked to
have the sale set aside, as 1t is under
stood that Arrowsmth refused to answer
certain questions by the referee in bank
ruptcy bearing on his credit. The matter
will now be ventilated in the United
States courts.

PENSION CLAIMS PAID.
Office Was Opened Yesterday, and
Resumed Its Business.

Resumed Its Business.
Nothing daunted by their failure to get
their vouchers and certificates on Thurs
day the same contingent of veterans con-
gregated on the uecond floor of the fed
eral building yesterday morning before
the time of opening the special examiners
office.
There is no doubt that the examiners
were making Investigations, for every
pensioner was obliged to answer a set Of
questions Immediately after he had taken
his oath. He was asked whether he owed
Mr.. Hostetler, or any of his employees,
money; whether any money had ever been
advanced to him on his pension; whether
he was sworn when he signed his vouch-
err and whether ne signed his name on
any other than the regular day. One Of
the pension examiners, after questioning
an old soldier, advised him to keep his
certificates himself in the future, instead
of leaving them in the attorneys office.
A little later in the day, when the eX-
eminers got everything into working or
der, the doors were opened, and the vet
Grams made their way in, signed their

and received their certificates.

vouchers and received their certificates.
AS nearly as can be learned the trouble
yesterday arose over the suspicion on
the part of the examiners that MI
Hostetler might have been making loans,
taking the vouchers for security. This
was probably due to the fact that many
of the pensioners were in the habit of
having their checks sent to the office of
Mr. Hostetler. They found nothing to
confirm their suspicion.

Between the Parties.
Judge Simpson has rendered decision
in the divorce suit of Adah Tryon against
DR.. William Tryon, in which the appli a.
ton for a divorce is denied, and the clse
is dismissed. In his decision the court
alludes to the amours of the defendant
with other women, and he charges collu-
sion between DR.. Tryon and his wife for
the purpose of securing a divorce.
In a memorandum Judge Simpson says
that plaintiff testified that she knew that
1t was common thing for her husband
to fall in love with different women, and
that 1t happened so frequently that she
became Indifferent to It,. She also testi-
fled that she knew the defendant was ac-
customed to lock himself in q room With
other women, and that he advised her to
resort to the law ana learn to support
herself. She also said that he was not
true to her, and that she knew 1t.
