VOTE AGAINST PASSES.
Nebraska Republicans in Convention
Demand Railroad Legislation.

Lincoln, Sept. 15.-The Nebraska
Republicans at their state convention
nominated the following ticket:
Justice Supreme Court-Charles B,
Letton, of Fairbury.
Regents of the University. G.
Lyford of Falls City, Frederick Abbott
of Columbus.
The platform Endorses the admins
tration of President Roosevelt and
praises him for bringing about peace
between Russia and Japan. The plat
form continues:
eve believe strictly in the principle
of equality before the law applied to
the transportation business, and
therefore demand relief through the
enforcement of existing laws or
through amendatory legislation from
the payment of rebates to favorite
shippers and unlawful and wrongful
determinations between communities
and individuals, both in the state and
the nation.
1--WE heartily approve President
Roosevelt's recent utterances as to the
control of railroads and large corpo-
rations.
I'VE request and demand of our
Republican congress active and har-
monious cooperation with President
Roosevelt along these lines, to the end
that corporate rapacity, extortion and
abuses may be subdued and abolished
and the sovereignty OF the people
over corporations fully and perma-
nently established"
On the question of passes the con-
vention recommends a law be enacted
to prevent their distribution.

times in my life and never expect to
wear one again.
The three times that he wore a tie
were the two times he was married and
once when he was to deliver an address
before a woman's meeting in this city
number of years ago. The ladies'
knew his hatred of the necktie so wait
ed until the evening of the meeting
and of course knew that he had pre-
pared an address that only the major
was capable of. So when he was dress
ing for the evening, was told that it
would be impossible for him to deliver
his address unless he wore a necktie
The major says, 81 couldn't get out of
it for you see I wouldn't have missed
addressing that body of women for any
thing. 1 never expect to marry again,
SO you see I will not have any excuse
for wearing one and I am glad of it,

PLAYED WITH TARANTULA.
Arkansas City Druggist Given a Sur.
prise by a Farmer.

Arkansas City Druggist Given a Sur
prise by a Farmer.
A farmer who lives down in Kay
county, walked into the City Drug store
and laying an object, which he had
brought into the store in his hand, on
the counter, wanted to know of the
proprietor. Mr. Lightstone, what it was.
"Of course" said the farmer, az know
it is some kind of a spider, but
thought it might have a particular
name and you could tell me-
Mr.. Lightstone stepped over to get a
close look at the object reposing on the
counter, and then-stepped back. Good
ness gracious, yes" remarked the drug
gist, Il can name it for you. It's a
tarantula, and mighty big one!" When
the farmer heard the word, "tarantula, :"
he, too, stepped back as though he'd
been shot, and the look on his face was
one in which both amazement and fear
could be discerned.
The tarantula, which was very much
alive when brought into the drug store
by the farmer, in his ungloved hand.
was quickly dispatched by the drug
gist and now repoSes in a jar of alcohol.
1t was a big one and the only explana-
tion that can be advanced for the Spi-
der's not biting the farmer was that it
had not fully recovered from the pelting
of Sundays rain.-Arkansas City

Scalpers Being Driven to Wall
in Oregon and Washington.
Passenger Agent Black Receives
Report on Their Suppression.
A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.
Self Constituted Ticket Agents
to Be Put Out of Business.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

General Passenger Agent w. ]. Black
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
has received word from the Railway
Ticket Protective Bureau that a success
full campaign has been waged by this
corporation which acts for most of the
railroads in the country in affairs of
this kind, against the ticket scalpers in
the states of Oregon and Washington.
There are laws in both these states
against ticket scalping but early in the
summer the scalpers could not resist
the opportunity to get busy in Portland
on account of the rich harvest in store
for them because of the Lewis & Clark
exposition.
Eight scalping offices were opened up
and then the railroads notified the Rail-
way Ticket Protective Bureau to get to
work and close them up. Evidence was
secured against most of the brokers
connected with the eight places and
they were eventually arrested and in
all instances were convicted.
Mr.. Black has received a report of
the work of the bureau and the results
obtained by it which is summarized as
follows:
THE bureaus representatives reached
Portland on July Is. After consultation
with the general counsel of the terminal
lines and with their passenger officials,
the campaign against the ticket scalp
ers was Systematically inaugurated and
aggressively maintained with the graf
flying result that on July 19 all of these
shops were closed and the business of
these self-appointed ticket agents en-
tirely abandoned.
ION August 5, Circuit Judge Frfazer,
not only declared that the anti-ticket
Scalping law represented a due and pro-
per exercise of the constitutional auth
GRITTY of the state, but commended the
measure as justly and wisely interdict-
ing an illegitimate and unlawful avoca-
ton. In all the several legal actions in
stituted, the state was in every instance
successful and the assumption is SEEM
ingly warranted that with proper super
vision, the state of Oregon may be per-
manently rid of the railway ticket scalp
er. This complete elimination of this
parasite is notable in this: that it is the
lea wherein this persistent leech has
been impelled to let go his tentacles and
unequivocally surrender to the law.
1T is with much qualification that we
are enabled at this time to announce the
successful inception of like campaign
in the state of Washington, Judge Gil
liam of the superior court of Seattle,
constitutionality of the states anti
ticket scalping act on habeas corpus
proceeding which designedly followed q
complaint under the law, instituted by
and in the interest Of the ticket scalp
er, in the expectation of securing de-
cision annulling the act. AS a result OF
this decision the scalping offices in Sc
attic closed up"
Mr.. Black says that the campaign
against ticket scalping is to be vigorous
ly waged wherever there is a state law
against it.
