Ordered to Vacate.
From a Stan correspondent

LINCOLN, oct. Il Especially Honk
chariots, better known as automobiles, are
cutting a considerable figure in the pres
ent state campaign Their use is made
necessary By poor railroad connections.
Candidates Sheldon and Shallenberger, for
governor. are already making frequent use
OF the whiz carts and both expect to rely
on that method Of covering ground in their
canvasses until the election rolls around.
Several automobile trips have already
been laid out by Chairman Despair OF the
republican speakers bureau for Senator
Sheldon. The republican gubernatorial
candidate is to speak at Columbus the
afternoon of October q, along with Gov
crnor Cummins of Iowa. Senator Sheldon
is billed for a speech the same night at
Osceola nearly thirty miles distant. With
only two hours to make the trip, he will
board an automobile, going at high speed
in order to keep his engagement. Later
in the campaign, Mr.. Sheldon is to speak
at Harvard and Ong the same day. They
are thirty miles apart. with no direct rail-
road connection. and an automobile will
again come into play
revised schedule of dates has been
made at republican state headquarters for
George l.. Sheldon, involving several
changes from the list previously announced
for the last week of October. The correct
dates for Sheldons meetings are:
October 23-Broken Bow.
October 24-Ravenna, afternoon: st. Paul,
evening.
October 25-Central City afternoon; Au-
rora. evening.
October 2o-Kearney, afternoon; Lexing-
ton. evening.
October 27-Columbus. afternoon with
Governor Cummins; Osceola. evening.
AS originally planned, Sheldon was to
have visited Broken Bow and Arcadia on
the same day. but he could not get to
! the latter place in time it has been omitted
| from the schedule. Ravenna was substi-
| tuted for Loup City on the oath and Lex
| ington for Cozad on the 26th.
Senator Burkett will speak at Cozad and
Attorney General Brown at Gothenburg
during the campaign. With Sheldon's
| speech at Lexington. this will give Daw-
son county three good sized meetings.
| Information received by the republican
! speakers bureau is that Congressman Wal
ter L. Smith of Council Bluffs cannot pos
sbly come to Nebraska this year. The
week of October y, which was the only

by the congressional committee to speeches

Republican campaign managers were ap-
prised today of another democratic attempt
to manufacture thunder by circulating the
report that Senator George l.. Sheldon cast
his vote in the legislature or 1905 against

corning election. This story is absolutely
without foundation. Not only Mr.. Shell

No Decision on Elevators
A meeting of the State Board of Public
Lands and Buildings was held this evening,
at which Governor Mickey was present by
invitation Superintendent Kern of the
Hastings asylum was expected, but failed
TO put In an appearance. The matter of the
contract for food elevators for the Hastings
asylum was discussed, but was left open
on account of the absence of Superintend-
ent Kern. In the discussion of the matter
1t appeared that Commissioner Eaton was
of the opinion that Superintendent Kern
had not been empowered to enter into "A
contract for the installation of the ele-
vators but that the matter was to he re-
ferred back to the board, and that Eaton
had a letter from Kern to that effect.
Secretary Galusha took the ground that
Kern had been empowered to close the
contract, Another meeting will be held
tomorrow, at which Dr. Kern Will be pres
ent. The matter of porches for the Hast
ings institution is considered a closed Incl
dent, no contract for their construction
being recognized by the board.

Anti-saIoon League Active.

The Nebraska Anti-Saloon league has cut
loose in the legislative campaign with
notice to both the stronger political parties
that it purposes to prove to the public that
1t is still alive and kicking. The plan of
the league Is to center all of it's energies
upon the fight for the enactment OF
county option law. Candidates for the
legislature, regardless of party, are to be
stood up and questioned to their posi-
ton upon this law.
Lancaster county, apparently. is the
scene Of the leagues greatest activities.
Committees have already been named from
among the students of Wesleyan and Cot
ner universities and the State university.
These committees are to wait upon the re-
publican candidates for the legislature in
Lancaster tomorrow and solicit an express
sion from the latter as to where they stand.
The same policy, according to the pro-
nouncement of the Anti-Saloon league, is
to be pursued in every county in the state.
\ county option law was introduced I'm
the last legislature, but was killed in COM
mttee In one house and voted down in the
other. The Anti-Ssloon league has been
interesting itself in an investigation of the
records of all members of the legislature
at the last session and every one unfavor-
able to the option bill is to go on a
blacklist.

Death of Richard Romans.

Richard Romans, a we'll known colored
citizen OF this town. was stricken with
paralysis about two weeks ago. He fingered
until Thursday of last week when he died at
the age Of 60 years. AS q man he was far
above the average of his race in intelligence
and manhood, and he brought up q family OF
sons and daughters OF whom he had q right
to be proud. For nan years he has conduct
ed a blacksmith shop In town, and his bus!-
ness methods were such as to commend BIN
to the good opinion OF both his white and his
colored %nelghbors. In 1876 he voted for Wade
Hampton, for which act the white people
ever held him In kind regard. Since then he
has taken no part In politics, and In the lapse
of yeare bis colored neighbors had forgiven
him for being a Democrat In 1876. His up
| right conduct for all these years has won the
respect of his colored %neighbors, and a a host
of white people were customers at his shop
Tue colored Masons buried him.

A New TheoIogical Seminary

Our brother OF the Press and Banner is
linking OF starting a Theological Seminary.
There are certain things he proposes to teach.
Some OF the things enumerated have amused
ne. One Of the things the new Seminary Is
to teach Is to use the word SUNDAY" Instead
Of Sabbath. The editor says: "At the proper
time we may deliver a special lecture from
our Seminary to our good and beloved Broth.
ers GALLOWAY and Kennedy on the subject OF
Sabbath. and the difference between the
calendar day OF the week and that institu-
ton. Let Them keep on saving sabbath.
| We all know that they mean Sunday.
We would like for our good brother Wilson
10 give US as proof text, the chapter and
| verse in the Old or New Testament, as his
authority for designating the Sabbath as
"Sunday."-Associate Reformed Presbyteri-
an.
Certainly, with pleasure. It Is In the same
chapter wherein the Great Head OF the
church authorized John Knox, John Calvin,
John Wesley, Martin Luther and others tc
establish churches Of their WI in His hon.

AS a matter OF fact, when the Institution Of
the Sabbath vas established the days Of the

Second day, etc. In changing the numbers
OF the days OF the week TO the names OF the
days Of the week, no reference was had to the
Sabbath. Any day OF the week may be get
apart as the Sabbath. For instance: Sstur
day is the Sabbath Of the Jews, and Sunday
Is the Sabbath Of the Christians.
