SAYS THE PEOPLE
SHOW MUCH JOY

In referring to the political situa-
tion in Denver as he observed it dur
ing his visit to the Capital City
last week Capt. Rockefellow
says the people of Arapahoe
plainly showed how happy they feel
over the state having gone Republi-

believing that Arapahoe in reality
went Republican. and that they can
produce indisputsble evidence TO
prove it to the satisfaction of fair
minded of all parties. He thinks
that if the half dozen aspirants for
senatorship would lock themselves

Praises HOrnless Cattle.

Topeka, Oct. 2.-F. d. Coburn,
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture, to-day issued quarterly re-
port OF his red line" series, which is
devoted to presentation of the
claims, merits and performances of
the breeds OF hornless cattle. The re-
port is composed of an Introductory
by the secretary and "a number ofad-
dresses from cattle breeders The
four hornless breeds recognized are
the Aberdeen-Angus, the Galloway,
red polled cattle and polled Durham
cattle. In his defense of the hornless
breeds, Secretary Coburn says in his
Introductory:
who can gauge the additional
cost and area OF shelter and the in
creased feed requisite to house and
keep prohtably and comfortable the
cattle on the farms and in the herds
where they gouge and gore and rip
and ram each the one next weaker, as
compared with the cost of caring for
the same number unarmed, dwelling
contentedly ncompact quarters such
as their size, number and comfort,
rather than strength and victorious
demand?"

Grasp on the Trust.

Ninety-five per cent OF the entire
coal field is owned and controlled by
eight railway companies. The lines
OF these eight companies furnish the
sole available means for iransporta-
ton of anthracite coal to market.
In pursuit Of a settled policy these
railway companies have forced pri.
vate owners to sell their coal mines
and coal lands mt half value, first, by
increasing the freight rates. and, Sec
ond, by refusing to carry the coalfor
private owners at any price whenever
such owners could not be brought to
terms by the establishment of exor.
bitant transportation rates.
Owning the coal and owning the
railroads over which the coal is trans
ported to market, they fixed the
freight rates at an eXorbitant figure
in order to make consumers pay
dividends on the overcapitalization
OF the railroads and coal mines.
While rates for other and like prod
ucts havefallen, anthracite coal rates
have been advanced by the railways,
until they are nearly twice as great
as cotton or wheat, They limit the
supply in order to force a strong de,
mand and high market price.
AS shown by sworn testimony up
on trials and Investigations, more
than $500, 100000 in excess uf "A fail
market price has been eXacted from
consumers.

Grayest in City's History.

New York, Oct 2.-The coal famine
in the East cannot be exaggerated.
1t has no precedent. Here in New
York it is a calamity. With the To-
cal supply OF hard coal all but en-
hausted, with the little there is on
hand selling at SlS and $50 ton,
with hospitals and publicinstitutions
on the edge of famine, with factories
all over the city using soft coal at
high prices, with the price of bread
about to be raised, with the supply
of hot water reduced in east side
tenements to two days a week, with
the poor trembling in fear of the first
cold snap, the fuel situation is the
gravest in the citys history
All over the east side women can
be seen about the coal yards and at
the water front of the East river.
The dealers dole out the little they
h ave carefully, giving women with
pals the preference, but the purchas.
ers find that they have to pay three
times as much for a bucketful as last
winter, a pail the size of water
bucket costing 20 and 81 cents.
One retailer had the sample coal
taken from his windows in fear OF
scenes like those of the meat riot in

SHOT BY HIS BRIDES FATHER.
The Wounded Groom Was Welded and
Then Painted.

Then Painted.
Hyannis. Neb Oct. 2.-After being
shot and seriously wounded by the
father OF the girl with whom he was
clipping. William d. Clark, of this
place. was married here 10y Justice
Crawford to Miss Myrtle Shawberg.
Clark lay on cot during the cere-
mony and tainted immediately after
the minister had concluded. He is
now under the care Of two physicians
and it is thought he will recover.
Clark was shot while assisting Miss
Shawberg To leave her home. Hehad
raised window and the young wo-
man was coming down a ladderfrom
the second story. When almost az
the bottom the ladder fell and she
screamed. This walked Judge Shaw
berg and he immediately opened fire
with IA shotgun. Clark was struckin
his right hip, but managed to reach
his buggy with his intended bride
and the two left in run. Shawberg
went To the home Of John Redmond,
neighbor, and the two started in
pursuit. After following the couple
for ten miles. Shawberg and Red
mond gave up the chase and returned
home. Clark and Miss Shawberg
came back a different road to the
town, and while the father was get
ting "a crowd OF friends eongregated
to assist him in the search for the
couple, they were married at the resi-
dence OF Justice Crawford shortly AT.
ter 6 o'clock.
Judge Shawberg found the couple
Mt the Crawford house an hour after
the marriage, but was denied admis-
sion and returned home without see
ing either his daughter or her hus-
band. Considerable romance sur
rounds the courtship OF Clark and
Miss Shawberg. When she was 13
years OF age, her father engaged her
to marry John Redmond, an orphan,
and large property owner. Redmond
and Miss Shawberg went together
constantly for several years until
Clark opened law office here. Clark
and Miss Shawberg were at a picnic
four months ago, and he saved her
from being run over by a runaway
team. Judge Shawberg invited him
to his home and for three months
Clark has been a regular caller.
Clark finally proposed for the hand
OF Miss Shawberg, and though ac.
cepted by her, Judge Shawberg OBJ
ljected and the young man was refus-
ed the house. Since then constant
watch has been kept upon the young
woman and she has never been seen
away from the house, except when
accompanied by her father or Red,
rnond- The eleFement was planned
by an exchange OF notes, carried by a
tcolered woman employed by Judge
Shawberg. The family of Judge
Shawberg, who was at one time coun.
ty Judge OF this county, is an inhuen.
tial one in Western Nebraska. Clark
is 26 years of age and came here
from Missouri. His bride is 10 years
OF age. Redmond is 30.
