Referee Newton heard the arguments
yesterday afternoon in the matter of F..
B. Street, trustee of the B. H. Douglass
& Sons Co., against the Walter M.
Lowney Co. of Boston, Mass. This is
the case where the trustee claims that
the Douglass Co. ought to be allowed
the usual rebate on the years business
of 1900 as it was allowed in other years.
The Lowney Co. claim that the Doug
lass Co. is not entitled to the usual re-
bate because it did not live up to the
agreement in regard to payments and
keeping sufficient stock on hand. The
amount Of rebate claimed by the trus-
tee is $571. Judge Fl. L. Hotchkiss APP
peared for the Lowney Co.. and Attor-
ney James D. Dewell, Jr., for the trus-
tee. The referee reserved his decision.

REGARDED AS SLAP AT ]

hEGAhDED AS olLAI AL BIZ I AN.
Washington, April 3.-The election of
Rolla Wells as mayor of ST.. Louis is
looked upon here as direct slap at w.
j. Bryan. Wells firmly refused to sup
port Bryan as the democratic candidate
for president, and Bryan's paper, the
Commoner, protested against him as a
democratic candidate for Mayor, de-
scribing him as republican.
The anti-Bryan sentiment in st. Louis
is no new thing, but that is should be
strong enough to nominate and elect
candidate in the face of the active OPP
position of the Bryan people is accept
ed as a clear indication that the oppo-
sition to the Nebraskan is not declining
in strength.

4 SPEECH r . BRYAN.

Mr.. Bryan made a speech on the 26th
at Lincoln. Nebraska, before the JEFF
fersonian club in its annual banquet.
He still stands fearlessly by the prin-
ciples he has all along defended with
so much of power. ea~rnestness, reso-
luteness and eloquence. and he said his
chief desire to be president was really
to carry out practically those princi-
pies. 1t may be, he says. his mission
to advocate rather than to ever exc
cute them. He says his new paper,
THE Commoner," will serve to keep
him in touch with the people and en-
able him to do battle in the cause he
so much loves. His theme was
.'Principles Live" Nothing is truer in
his life. Men may come n men

Of an honest party or a Just govern

pies Of Thomas Jefferson are undying.
They live today in full vigor and give

The reserved rights OF the states were
never more important and more prec-
ious than in this hour. While We do
not believe that Mr.. Bryan viii ever be

A FEW SPECIMENS.

ever before occurred. In Baltimore
some of the negroes behaved badly and
were on a drunken rampage. Severa

gro lad shot a negro four times. One

Another grabbed a lady's

some of the happenings in one city.
If all the outrages and cuttings and
killings were gathered in the United
States they would fill n of the big
newspapers. Whiskey is the ause per-
