There is no foundation for this accusa~

Omaha exposition. Il leased STA square
feet of Zoo space IN the exposition at the
outset, for which Il paid s2.ssT. Afterward
additional space was obtained and paid
for. Missouri paid more TO the Omaha ex-
position for space than ala any other state.

After an absence OF two years David
III. Mercer has returned to Omaha to
present himself as a candidate for a
sixth-term nomination to congress. Be
fore the republican party of this dis
trict commits Itself to his support II Is
only right and proper that he should
give an account OF his stewardship and
enlighten his constituents upon his fu-
ture intentions.
First and foremost, the people OF this
district want to know whether Mr..
Mercer proposes to resume his residence
in Omaha and identity himself perma-
nently with it's citizenship In case be fails
to secure denomination or a reelection.
his very rare visits to this city during
the past six years and his established
residence in the District OF Columbia,
where he is regarded as a permanent
acquisition. have ~saturaily created the
impression that he has no other use
for the people Of this district except to
furnish him a 5000 seat in congress
with perquisites and opportunities for a
lucrative living.
In the next place, the republicans Of
this district have a right to ask whether
Mr.. Mercer proposes In the future, as In
the past, to pursue the-supremely selfish
policy Of letting others pay his cam
paign expenses and letting others fight
his battles without ever returning a
favor by helping any candidate except
| Mercer.
Incidentally, the people Of this district
would like to nave answers to ques-
tions which Mr.. MERGERS champion In
debate lodged or sought to parry by
personalities.
win Mr.. Mercer, for example. explain
why Ie has distributed West Point and
Annapolis cadetships 20 personal favor
ties instead Of giving all the eligible
young men Of this district the opportu-
nifty 10 compete for the positions on an
equal fOOtingG
WIN MIR. Mercer explain why he
caused the dismissal OF two Nebraska
| Grand Army veterans who were EN-
ployed at the national capitol and sub
stituted for them residents Of Mime
sofa, whose only claim for employment
was their family relation to him?
WIN MI. Mercer explain why he pock-
eted the Thurston bill. establishing a
general quartermasters' depot station at
Omaha. after it had passed the senate
two years ago, when by merely report
ing the bill it had every chance for pas
sage and would have given Omaha a
purchasing supply station instead Of a
quartermasters' storage building7
VIII Mr.. Mercer inform his admirers
what disposition he made Of the $500
draft given to him for promoting the
Greater America exposition and why
he had that draft pass through the
hands Of a middleman instead Of cash
ing It himself7 Is 1t customary for con-
gressmen In Washington to have mid
dlemen as receiving and disbursing
aRentsg
Latest and most immediately inter
eating, win Mr.. Mercer explain why he
made a defensive and offensive alliance
with the Union Pacific railroad through
John N. Baldwin for the appointment
Of a police commission that wal to club
republicans into his support and act as
a railroad constabulary at the same

from August 10th to Goth, promises to
be one Of the most memorable fraternal
assemblages that has ever taken place

that from 50,000 to 10000 people will be
brought to the city by the encampment,
and fully 10000 uniformed knights are
expected to be IN line here for the grand

Demand for
Horses.

The Nebraska Farmer has no sympa'
thy with those who fear an early dawn
ing of the "horseless age" The market
for good horses of all kinds, it says, has
never been IN more healthy. encour-
aging condition for the breeder and
horse handler than now. The evidence
on all sides points TO a shortage in the
supply of horses, such as are required to
carry on the necessary horsepower oi
the business and commercial affairs OF
trade in every day life. 1t is folly to
think that the time is coming when
horsepower will be dispensed with, be-
cause better and cheaper means OF ser.
vice can be substituted.
The horse is the safest, surest, most
economical power to use in the short
hauls and local transfer Of merchandise
and all lines of goods in and about the
cities and towns to freight storag. Gen.
ters and long distance shipping depots is
such that the horse and wagon cannot
be dispensed with for day. The big
sturdy. reliable dnaft horse accommo.
dates himself TO all kinds of conditions
that are possib e TO come up in the lire
of labor in which his lot is cast 1t is
very seldom he is disabled or required to
go to the shop for repairs He is.not
being outclassed and every year rendered

patent got out that aids tn the operation
and application Of the power. He car
be converted to many uses when be
ceases to be active as drawer OF heavy
loads. His whole life is one of service
and value to his owner.
The opening of railroads and the
building OF transportation lines of va
rious kinds only add to the demand for
the draft horse. The more business IN
the commercial world the more horses it
will require to carry on that part OF la
Dor that canno. be successfully handled
by machinery. As time moves on, as
improvement Is come and &c, the draft
horse will become more and more ne
cessity, fixture in the operation of
trade.
