SURELY COMING.
The Great pan-America Shows.

Every man, woman or child who knows
about circuscs, and who ever
saw the great Pan-America Shows will
be delighted to know that the big show,
in all their magniticence and exalted
grandeur, will surely exhibit at Leon
Saturday September 9Th, and preceding
both exhibitions with the Grandest
morning street parade ever seen since
parade ever seen since parades were
first exploited. In the great shows will
be seen several new features which can
not be seen elsewhere. Those who have
seen the monster Bovalapus pronounce
it the greatest, the strangcst and most
unique marvel to which the deep ocean
ever gave birth. The shaggy, fierce
though beautiful horse-riding lion. The
Roman Hippodrome, an exact repro
duction of the Corse Of ancient Rome
and the modern races attached to it. are
at once exciting, eXhilarating, and in all
things equal to the best races run on a
modern race-course. The circus, which
consists of one hundred and fifty super
ior acts, given by one hundred superior
arenic stars, requires three full hours in
which to give them.
The Menagerie will be a delightful
study for all because it comprises more
wild, tame and strange beasts than our
people have ever before had an oppor-
tunity to see. The show is great in
everything and small in nothing.

BEATS ALL POLITICS
Harness Making Contest Between
Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Lydick,
Nebraska Women.
$50, 900, 1000 Acres Of Land and
Much Live Stock Wagered
on the Result.

Special to The Journal.
Omaha, Neb., June PA peculiar con-
test which stands a chance. from present |
indications of bankrupttng one or the
other Of two Nebraska towns is now on
hotter than any political contest. The
point to be gained is the discovery Of
whether Harrington or Papillion owns
1.-The only woman harness maker in the
United States" g
The afafr started by an item published
In an Omaha paper announcing that Mrs.
J. C. Graham, of Papillion, was a harness
maker Of reputation and that she could
make a complete set of harness from the
hide to the finished product without the
assistance &of any one. The next week
the same paper contained an item from
Lon Lydick, Of Harrington, Neb., in which
that man said he was willing to wager 100
acres Of Cedar county land against 81, 900
that. Mrs. Graham Is not a harness maker
and that Mary D. Lydick, Of Harrington,
is the only woman harness maker In the:
United States. My condition Is that a
harness maker is one who cuts, fits and
finished any part Of a harness without as
sistance''
Edward l.. Clark, a patriotic son OF
Papillion, came forward at once with the
$1,000, and then raised the bet $1,000.
Lydick showed another 100 acres Of
Cedar county land to the center, and
said he would go another 100 acres which
he owned in Holt county.
Clark dropped into the Papillion post
office and consulted with a few friends
with the result that several more Papillion
citizens took chips and began dropping
them into the pot. To meet the raise
Lydick responded in a similar manner.
In each town a campaign was started that
gave the inhabitants the first touch of
high life since. Billy Bryan ran for pres
ident.
At present there Is estimated to be in
the center of the pot over 200 head Of live
stock, 1000 acres Of farm lands and some
thing like 100000, and the betting still
open. A contest between the two women
has been arranged to take place during
July at some third town to be chosen.
Judges will be chosen as follows: Each
town Is to select two, and these four will
select a fifth. Both towns have arranged
munity will be entitled to drop one ballot
in the box with the name of the voter
and his or her choice for judges written
upon it.
Clark, Of Papillion, says of the contest:
t'Mrs Graham, am certain, will win the
contest hands down. She can make a
| complete harness quicker and better than
any one ever saw. She has made a
great many sets Of harness for me and
for workmanship they can not be ex-
celled."
Mrs. Lydick. of Harrington, presented
President Roosevelt when he was in
Omaha, with beautiful bride upon which
she had worked off and on for two years.
1t was made Of the finest russell leather
with silved bit and buckles, upon which
| is engraved the monogram ct. r. The
president responded with a hearty letter
| of acknowledgement.

ROAR OF BECKHAM
Kentucky Governor Sees Politics in
the Attacks on His
,si' Course.
Says He's Doing All He Can to Over.
come Breathitt County Law
lessness.

Frankfort. KY. June 27--Governor
Beckham has given out statement in
reference to his position in the Breathitt
county matter. He says In part:
The people Of the whole state have been In
dignantly and Justly aroused over the crimes
recently committed in Breathitt county, and In
their impulsive resentment against the guilty
have been little impatient for results. Their
feeling about the situation Is to be commended,
for It shows the character of noble and law
abiding people. aSi
1t may seem surprising to those familiar with
our constitution. but 1t 10 fact that all the
demand made upon me for action Is that shall
declare martial law there and have all cases
there tried by courtmartial. would pay no
attention to 1t except that 1t comes In many In
stances from people and newspapers of intelli-
gence. who are not seeking to make political
capital out Of the matter, but want to see jus
tice done, and in their Impotence have forgot
ten that the governor Of Kentucky has absolutely
no such right. and II he should attempt to use
such arbitrary power he would be and ought to
be impeached
The constitution Of our state and the consti.
tuition of the United States guarantee to every
accused of crime the right of trial by jury,
and that life. liberty or property shall not be
taken away from him without due process Of
law.
Remarkable Political Diatrlbe.
Governor Beckham then goes on to dis
cuss the political aspects Of the affair. He
ascribes the agitation to political foes and
makes use OF this remarkable language:
sagerness to punish his (Goebel's) assassins a.
the democrats have shown in their desire to sec
Marcum's assassin punished, then that atrocious
crime Of over three years ago would be
avenged, altho it would have cost the republican
party the loss Of some OF Its most distinguished
leaders.
Did they shed tear or show the least sym.
pathy for him after h chad fallen from an assas-
sins bullet? Every citizen Of Kentucky knows
that they did not; and that, on the contrary,
when poor Goebel lay suffering with hthe awful
agonies Of death from his cruel wounds the
publican officials sent a lot Of their raw militia
and stationed them Immediately under his win
dow. that. with their boisterous conduct and
noisy demonstration they might disturb and
harass the last hours of the fallen leader, whom
they could not defeat except by assassination.
The effort OF certain republicans to make
political issue Of this is so miserable and so
despicable that 1t is hardly worthy Of notice,
for they must first wash their hands Of blood be-
fore they attempt to pose as the apostles Of law
and order.
1t Is from such as these that have received
the most bitter attacks and the most wilful mis-
representation about my official conduct.
1t has been done not because Of any Just
criticism of my administration, but because of
the fact that I am the democratic nominee for
that Office and about to enter campaign for re-
election.
