A Disappointment.

Our Democratic friends who went to
Pocahontas to hear Mr. Bryan were evil
dentlv much disappo ted in that gentle
man as an orator and als) in the character
of his address. From his reported re-
marks, he said nothing new, nothing that
his ardent admirers had not read i'll the
many hundreds of speeches he has made
since he sprung so suddenly into promi'
nence. In other words, he made Bryan
political speech, for which his hearers had
to pay fifty cents, each, and it was, SO we
are informed, delivered in a monotOnOu:
and uninteresting style.
We doubt if any Of those who went tC
Pocahontas would go again to hear th'
Nebraskan if they had to travel any dis
tance.

BOERS GRAVELY ACCUSED.
British Paper Says They Commit Ter
rible Atrocities in South Africa.

London, July 9.-The Daily Mail gives
sensational prominence this morning to
mail advices from Nlakfontein which at
tribute to the Beers inhuman atrocities
which the censor would not allow to be
described by cable.
GA couple of Boers,' says the Daily
Mail correspondent, "who were armed
with Martins, walked around among the
dead and dying. Some they turned over
to see if they were dead. If it were other
wise, then one or the other of the Beers
shot them as you would shoot an OK. l
saw four killed in this way. One youngster
pleaded for his life. heard him say, oh
Christ, DON'T and then bang went the
rife. That is what happened"
The Daily Mail protests vigorously
against the suppression by the censor OF
such details.

FROGS IMPEDE A TRAIN.
Railroad Tracks Covered Near Ithaca
Until Rails Become Slippery.

Ithaca, July 9.-After the recent heavy
rains frogs have appeared here in great
numbers. The ground in the vicinity OF
Renwick Park is covered with them.
A train which left for Auburn late last
night had difficulty in working its way
through the frogs which appeared on the
track. The track became SO slipper from
the frogs killed that the wheels would not
take hold of the rails.
Traffic on branch of the Ithaca street
railway running on Stewart Avenue has
been impeded. Thousands Of the frogs
appeared on vacant lots.
The little animals have Invaded houses
and destroyed many gardens in the lowel
part of the city. 1t is difficult TO proceed
on the walks in that vicinity.
An explanation is tlat the frogs have
come from the swamps south OF Renwlck
As a result Of the vet Season many pool
are left in that vicinity, affoldlng man!

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The members of the Constitutional Con-
ventlon seem to have about as many opin-
ions on the suffrage question as there are
delegates in the convention.
Some of our Democratic contemporaries
are discussing the proper method of vot'
ing, and what provision the new Constltu-
ton shall make on that line. The impor-
tant question is, shall citizens be allowed
to vote, and after they have voted shall
their votes be counted as they are cast.
The slate Is made up. 1t is Montague,
Willard and Anderson. None other than
May Convention men need apply. The
reform movement of the May Convention
was the beginning of the contest between
the out.ring and the in.ring. The outs
seemed to have succeeded in their efforts.
What kind of movement will be started to
down the new ring?
President Mckinley celebrated the
Fourth of July by signing proclamation
that will open for public settlement the
KlOwa, Commanche, Apache, Wichita and
Gaddo Indian reservations in Oklahoma.
This opens up very fertile territory which
will furnish about $4,000 homesteads.
There have already been filed $4,000 ap-
plcations for the homesteads. The allot-
ments will be made after drawing to de-
termine the order in which the applicants
will be allowed to present their applica-
tions.
The Richmond News says: "The Ma
rion News in leading editorial exhorts its
fellow Republicans to get together and
name the right man as the party's noml-
nee for Governor. Whoever he may be,
will be the left man after the general cleo
ton" The Richmond News has not lost
confidence in the potentiaity of the Wal
ton election law. and confidently predicts
the success of the Democracy IN the APP
preaching State election. The state Chair
man has, no doubt, figured out or fixed
the majority Of the Democratic candidate
But the people may be able to overcome
fraud and set aside the MADE majority of
the Democratic minority.

The King Land Suit.

Henry c. King, of New York city, has
been contesting for some years for five
hundred thousand boundary of land lying
in Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky.
A suit is now pending in the U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals at Richmond over that
portion of the boundary which lies in Vir-
ginia. King, some years ago, instituted a
suit in the Circuit Court of the U. 5. Tor
West Virginia, for that part which lies in
that State. He lost the suit, but appealed
the case to the Supreme Court OF the
United States, where he again lost it.
King then instituted suit in the courts OF
West Virginia to establish his right to re-
deem the lands by payment of all back
taxes, it having been held in former pro-
ceedings in the Federal Courts that he had
forfeited his title under the laws of West
Virginia by the non payment of taxes. In
the proceedings now pending in the circuit
court of Cabell county, W. Va, the junior
claimants on last Saturday gained a SUD-
stantial point. Counsel for King made
motion to strike out the answers and peti
tions of the junior claimants, claiming thai
they had no right to dispute Kings re
demption, and that they were not proper
parties to the suit. The court refused tC
grant the motion, and entered an orde
referring the case 10 commissioner, wh(
was directed to ascertain and report th,
conflicting claims of all the parties.
