Washington, July 16.-Secretary Hay

the District of Columbia a copy of a
letter sent to other states and territor-
les bearing on the American scholar

be included in the benefactions. The
letter of the secretary settles the ques-

copy of letter from Boucher +. Hawk

ITS GOOD RECORD.

One of the most remarkable de-
clarations of political independence
in the history of this country is re-
corded in the organization of the
Union Republican party of this
State.
Robbed of its name and emblem
by authority of a Republican ma
tional convention, denied its rights
under the laws of the State by
Democratic Office holders, ii refused,
as the majority Republican party,
to surrender allegiance to the prin-
ciple of majority control as the
basis of political authority, and
has successfully maintained that
principle against every possible
political combination that could be
made against it. As a result Della.
ware has a State government rep
resenting the votes of a majority o.
its citizens; it has a government
composed of honest, capable execu
j.. tives; it has elected four State AS
semblies having a majority of Re
publican members.
Having maintained right princi
pies and achieved right results, tn,
Union Republican party is appeal
ing to the voters upon its record
willing to submit to a majority de
cision in the making and electin,
of Republican ticket. Its pas
assuresits future. The Republican
will sustain it.-The San.

of Chris Larsen Runs Up Against

Chris Larsen had demonstrated that he
Is one Of the most strenuous and persistent
lovers that Cupid ever put the fixing on.
So persistent was Lafsen in mis- endeavor
to make Sadie Gaver, owner of a restaurant
at Twelfth and Douglas streets, Mrs. Lar-
sen, that she has filed a complaint against
him to have him put under bond to prevent
him from carrying out his intentions. Sadie
fears that he will worry her so much that
she will be compelled to marry hin to get
rid Of him. 1t was recited to Justice Alt
stadt, who issued the warrant for Larsen's
arrest, that for many days Larsen had been
a lover Of Sadie and she did not return his
affections.
Larsen followed Sadie wherever she went
and at every meeting place he proposed, so
1t Is said. Recently he vent into her res
~taurant and took a seat at q table. When
the waiter asked for his order Larsen said
he didn't want anything to eat, he wanted
to be near his Sadie. On this occasion
Sadie, thinking hat Larsen was eating,
went out Of the restaurant to take a little
walk. Larsen was at her heels before she
had gone a block. At this time he gently
whispered to her that unless she returned
his love there would be one less person on
earth. Sadie Immediately swore to the
complaint.

LOCAL VEGETABLE MARKET
Which IL Preserved for
Winter.

The Omaha vegetable market shows signs
OF the coming of the winter months.
Early vegetables have given away to those
which are preserved for later use. The
green tomatoes. harvested to avoid the
frost, are crowding the ripper ones from the
market. Late cabbage is coming in by the
wagonload, selling at 25 cents a dozen head.
Potatoes. parsnips. carrots and other roots
are offered freely, while the market is
overlooking with apples and grapes. These
grapes vary so much in quality that It is
impossible to quote prices, baskets are filled
indifferently and sell from. so cents to 81 per
bushel. but there is a dearth OF good eating
apples. Beans and a few other green vege-
tables are still plentiful, but are declining
in quality, as many Of the vines have been
