Dietrich VIII Decline
Reelection TO Senate
Nebraskan's Announcement Thought to In
sure Selection of Representative Burkett,
of First District, for Upper Branch.

Senator Dietrich of Nebraska viii not
be a candidate for reelection. The
formal announcement last night of his
withdrawal from the Senatorial race IS
believed TO insure the election to the
Senate of Representative Elmer jacob
Burkett. of the First Nebraska District
In a letter announcing that he viii
not be "a candidate 10 succeed himself
Senator Dietrich congratulatcs the Re
publicaas Of southern Nebraska on hav-
ing two such worthy candidates for the
Senate as Mr. Burkett and William E.
Andrews, Auditor for the Treasury De-
partment, who was formerly a member
of the Nebraska delegation in Congress.
Split by the Platte.
Nebraska is split into political di-
visions by the Platte River. The coup-
Try north OF the river is always spoken
of as the North Platte. and The country
soLIh. the South Platte. Each division
Is conceded a Senator. and Senator
Dietrich represents the South Platte
Both Mr.. Andrews and Mr.. Burkett
are from that section. and consequently
have none OF the political traditions Of
the State TO overcome in tkeir candl-
Cacies.
No man ever came into political
prominence in Nebraska as rapidly as
Senator Dietrich. Fie had not figured
in politics until 1900, when he was nomi-
mated for governor, and carried the
STATE into the Republican ranks after
il had been submerged IN POpulism for
years. In the first few months OF his
term as governor, the Nebraska Legis-
lature had its famous deadlock.

Dr. Halls Church at Kingston, N. Y, Do
mated a Considerable Sum.

nothing. a year ago. TO the cause OF
missions.
The church referred TO is itself n mis-
sion church, having about $50 communi-
cants and no rich parishioners barely 2
per cent. having more than workmen's
wages. To help carry on various chari-
table and institutional works OF the
parish the rector Is obliged himself TO
make annually an appeal for outside as
sistance. In spite OF this. It is a paro-
chial principle that giving 20 missions
is a part OF ones religious duty.
While the missionary contributions OF
the Holy Cross parish are not all made
through the board Of missions and it's
general missions funds. the church con-
tributed for fiscal year 1s02-03 he sum
OF sl255s, and for ls0s-04. the sum of

More than half this latter sum was
sent through the treasurer OF 'he board
