LOCAL ISSUES IN NEBRASKA.
State Admitted to Be for Roosevelt
Demo-Pop Hopes.

Special Correspondence OF The Evening star
OMAHA, Neb., October 81, 1904.
The campaign in Nebraska has settled
down to a fight entirely upon local issues
the national questions involved and the
presidential contest having been entirely
cbliterated by the admission of Bryan and
his followers that the electoral vote is sure
for Roosevelt. In fact, it is now plainly APP
parent that Bryan'S concession of his own
state to the republican presidential candi-
date was merely a clever ruse to ward off
intervention and financial help by the ma
tional committee. Outside speakers have,
therefore, been entirely withdrawn and the
state organizations left almost entirely to
their own resources, Notwithstanding the
tact tina. two or three congressional dis
tricts are fairly in doubt and the complex
ion of the legislature TO be elected will de-
termine whether the United States senator
ship goes to a republican or to Mr.. Bryan.
Nh. Bryan has returned to the state and is
to spend the time from now until the cleo
ton rally'ng his forces in Nebraska.
The democratic and populst fuSioniSts
centering themselves exclusively in their
state campaign Upon the governorShip and
the legislature and are leaving nothing I'M
dope in the way of personal attack upon
Governor Mickey to hammer him down be-
hfnd his associates on the ticket.
Joseph w. FOX of Missouri carried out
his part o. the agreement made with Bryan
earlier in the campaign, by which he
to go to Nebraska in return for Bryan's
speeches in Missouri, and appeared in
Omaha last week. He said nothing, how
ever for any .;arGidate, except Berge, the
fusion nominee for governor, and did not
ever mention Parker and Davis, although
he made enc bid for applause by throwing
a Bouquet at Bryan.
The official ballot has been made I'D and

TO STATE REFORM SCHOOL.
IncorrisibiIity Of Two Aberdeen Boys Leads to
Their Incarceration.

William Mcneil ard Otto Hugo, two
boys about IL years of age, were arrested
last Sunday by Officer Birmingham on
the charge OF stealing bicycle, the pro.
perty OF Joseph Dinsmore. and were
taken to the superior court at Montesano
Tuesday and committed to the reform
school, at Chehalis.
The boys were committed on request
of their parents, to avoid the placing of
the criminal charge against them, so
that their release will depend entirely
upon their behavior.
Those boys have been in trouble be-
fore with the police, young as they are,
and, while it is humiliating to the
parents, the course pursued appeared to
be the only remedy.
While the boys were only accused OF
the bicycle steal, the authorities had
sufficient kno Wedge of criminal doings
to send them for long term had they
been older. And the police are we'll
aware of the fact that they were not
alone in these matters. A number OF
other.boys are under surveillance, and,
unless they alter their ways, the reform
school will receive large contingent
from Aberdeen in the very near future.
A chance will be given those boys, and
their parents, but the police are deter.
mined that if the petty.sized thieves
continue their petty theiving they must
pay the penalty, and age will no longer
be considered.

A Montesano Attorney Has a Great Scheme.
But Is Frustrated by the Interior Depart.

was signed by the members OF the
committee as "leading men" OF the tribe
and delivered to Abel who forwarded
it to the commissioner of affairs for
approval. The commissioner, however,
refused to consider. the contract on the
ground that it had not come through the
proper channel-the agent of the Quin.

In the meantime Abel sent an agent to

OF the rest of the Indians to the ratifica-

FOR WAGON ROADS
CONGRESSMAN BROWNLOW BE.
LlEvES IN THEM.
Has introduced Bill Appropriatins $4,000.
900, Which Calls For a Like Sum From
the Different States. or $4S, 600, 900 In all.
Covering Period Of Three Years.

There is pending in Congress a bill
called the Brownlow Bill. introduced by
Hon. Walter p Brownlow, of Tennessee,
which appropriates $24,0OO,OO0 as
national aid for the building of wagon
roads. This sum is to be available at
the rate Of $4,000. 900 a year; is to Re
divided according to the population OF
different states. b. no state is to receive
less than $250, 900. Every state receiving
National aid must appropriate and spend
like amount.
The asserted growth of sentiment in
favor OF the measure has been chiefly
due to the institution and extension of
the rural free mail delivery system,
which has brought the disadvantages of
poor roads hone to the farmers and
other country jewellers. Applications
for the extension OF the free rural delivery
system are being refused by tine post
office authorities on account OF the roads,
and the disappointed communities de-
mand their improvement. These de-
mands are so in excess OF the ability OF
the local boards to respond to that for a
year past, highway commissions all over
the country have been putting them
selves Oh record in favor OF National aid.
1t is claimed on behalf Of the bill that
the plan of distribution is more equitable
than the distribution of some $32, 5OO,OOO
year under the Rivers and Harbors
Bill. which goes principally to the sea.
board states and to the Mississippi delta.
In support Of the Brownlow Bill as a
general measure attention is called to
the fact that France has 23,6O3 miles OF
wagon road, which are built and main
tanned by the nation, and Italy about
5000 miles, while many Of the States Of
the Union spend hundreds of thousands
OF dollars annually in aid of highway
improvement.
