DsspicabIe Methods

The Lincoln Daily Star ID. E.
Thompson's paper) of Saturday, No
vember 8, devotes over column OF
editorial denouncing the State Jour
nails publication of what purported
to be fac SMILES of annual passes car
ried by w. H. Thompson. OF course
no person who is accustomed to do his
own thinking was deceived by the
Journals forgeries. 1t was evident
that the originals had been made out
on purpose and issued to the State
Journal instead of to Thompson. The
Star seems 10 think that the railroads
had nothing to do with the matter, but
that it was all concocted and executed
by F. A. Harrison, Harry Lindsay and
the State Journal. The Independent be-
lieves otherwise, and is satisfied that
the railroad managers lent their aid
to the dirty scheme. After vain at
tempt to get Thompson to say he
would not enforce the fusion demand
for increased railroad assessment, the
Burlington was ready to help along
any dirty trick which might lose him
some votes. The Star says:
Chairman Lindsay made mistake
when he gave favor to such dirty
work as this. He made a mistake
when he left in the hands Of unprin-
cipled hangers-on at central commit
tee headquarters the planning OF
'coups' that are SO offensive as to be
thoroughly despised by all who like
to see fairness and cleanliness in poll
tics. He made mistake when he took
the results of a tools underhand
methods, fathered them and sent them
over the state as committee thunder.
''The preparation of this despicable
bit of political filth was the work of
one who shines when engaged in such
degrading pursuits; it was flaunted in
a paper which finds it's level only
when indulging such displays of its
hood by few politicians who are do
ing the republican party greater in
jury in practices of this kind than the
good they ever have done In the tasks
they are supposed to have performed y
Of course the State Journal can do
nothing but snarl, as it usually does
after being caught in lie, and it re-
torts by saying:
'The exposure by the republican
state central committee of the pass
riding habit of the fusion candidate
for governor in the late campaign
caused deep distress in the heart of
every fusionist and every treacherous
republican who wanted to see Mr..
Mickey defeated"
Postmortems will do little good at
this time, however. 1t is not probable
that Thompson lost many votes on ac-
count of the Journals forgery, but it
is refreshing to see republican pa
per like the Star straighten things up
a bit. If it will now come out and
show that the republican state CEN
trail committee circulated other equal
ly reprehensible lies, one can believe
that it really wants to be clean in
politics instead Of being animated by
strong desire to edo the Journal.
For example that story about Battle
Axe tobacco at the home for the friend
less was circulated up to the very last
moment, as was also the story that the
| fusionists run the state In debt some
| hundred thousand dollars, etc.

A GOOD FIGHT
Populist State Committee Gives Out
Closing Address

: Siosiu& Aouross
. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 7, 1902.-To the
Fusion Voters of Nebraska: At the
opening Of this campaign everything
was against us and not even the most
sanguine Of our party workers be-
lieyed we could win. But we went into
the fight hoping at least to cut down
the republican majority of two years
ago, which was made by imported
votes, free railroad transportation and
other republican methods. ~--~
We have been cramped for funds as
never before; this retarded the work
planned by this committee very ma
terially. Our people seemed to be
dead in the SHELF politically. Many
party leaders said there was no use to
try.
Later in the campaign the situation
looked more encouraging. 1t became
evident that the fusion ticket would
make material gains in the cities and
towns where the people began to real
ize what it meant to their pocketbooks.
We believed the farmers would awake
to this fact also and that they would
go to the polls and vote. The early
returns verified our judgment and in
dicated a fusion victory so conclusive
that at 10 o'clock election night the
republican state committee conceded
the election of the fusion state ticket.
But when the returns began to come
in from the country districts it showed
a relative loss and this continued till
the battle was lost.
The returns do not indicate that the
fusion forces have lost any votes; the
republicans have made no gains. The
facts plainly stated are that 10000 vOt-
ers did not vote and we have every evil
dence that at least 10000 of these are
fusion voters.
We desire to say to the populist
voters of Nebraska that had Mr..
Thompson made one promise demand
ed of him by one of the most powerful
corporations of this state, that he
would have undoubtedly been elected.
But he was true to the people and
their interests and answered with an
emphatic NO. But the people have
been untrue to Mr.. Thompson. This is
deplorable condition, for it means
that ere long it will be impossible to
induce a good man, who is free from
corporation influence, to accept NOM
ination for any Office of trust.
We can say as did one of the great
est leaders of old:
eve have fought a good fight; we
have finished our course; we have kept
the faith"
And we are ready to go at them
again with renewed vigor.
We desire to cordially thank the
many party workers who have loyal
1y supported our cause, both in the
contribution of money and otherwise,
end we desire to congratulate the boys
Of Hall, Polk and Douglas counties.
Yours for final triumph of right
over might, equality before the law and
good government.

j. r. FARRIS, Chairman.
Secretary.

TWINS MEET HORRIBLE DEATH.
Children Burned to Death In
Greeley Township.

Last Monday afternoon our people
were shocked to learn that the three year
old twins, boy and a girl, of w. V.
Shields and wife who reside on the VIM.
Masterson farm near the Union Baptist
church in Greeley township, met a
horrible fate by being burned to death.
1t seems as though the children told
their mother that they we're going to
have dire, but. she did not pay any at
tention to them, thinking that it was
just children talk and that they were
near by at play. But they secured some
matches, somehow, and went to the barn
and started the fire unknown to anyone.
Mr.. Shields was working near the
house at the time planting some potatoes
but knew nothing of it until he looked
up and saw the barn entirely enveloped
in flames. Nothing could be done to
check the fire as it had gained such
Roadway and the wind was blowing =
perfect gale.
The father or mother did not know at
that time that the children were in the
burning structure but upon searching
the premises and not finding them any
where the horrible realization dawned
upon them that they had been burned
with the barn. As soon as the fire had
subsidized they began to search the ruins,
there to find the charred bodies of their
loved ones. The limbs we're burned to a
crisp and were severed from the body.
Neighbors soon gathered and the
search was continued and all parts Of
the bodies that we're not entirely con-
sumed by the frey monster were
gatherd together and placed in one coffin.
The funeral was held Tuesday from
the house and the remains we're interaed
in the Bowman Chapel cemetery near
North Branch.
The sympathy of the entire commun-
ity goes out to the bereaved parents and
relatives in this, their saddest hour.

School Notes

The 4th and 9th rooms are playing an
exciting game of base ball
Tuesdays days high wind affected the
attendance of school on that day.
The Mothers Meeting will agittate
the question of establishing kindergar-
den in Audubon. Mothers of little chill
dren should all be there.
In the program given by the Long
fellows last Friday, the quartet, Grace
Cameron's class history, and Mamie
Michels' paper were deserving OF special
mention. The next progrom comes May
%.
Tuesday morning the desks in the
high school room were covered by fine
dust and cinders, evidently blown in the
preceding night by the high wind, un-
der the old doors and crevices in the
window sashes.

Danger of Another Strike In tin
Chicago Stock Yards.

Danger of Another Strike In the
Chicago Stock Yards.
Chicago, June 14-Stock yards team
sters are again making threats. They
charge that the packers have not lived
up to the terms of the compromise
which closed the big strike, and call
has been issued for a general meeting
of the unions for Sunday to consider the
situation. The men say that the con-
ditions at the yards are worse than be-
fore the strike of two weeks ago was
called. They say their positions are in
danger, that many of the men have
been unable to get work and that the
barn superintendent who were dis
charged because they refused to take
cut the strikers wagons, have not been
reinstated. Referring to the complaints
of the men the officers of the firms
started an investigation. They say that
three barn superintendent who refused
to do the packers bidding during the
strike were told they would not be TAX
en- back. A committee of teamsters
visited the superintendent of the firms
who have thus far refused to recognize
the union and say they received no sat-
isfaction.
