worst snowstorm that has ever been known
to occur here at this time Of the year. 1t

worse until Tuesday night, when the wind

TO two feet deep on the level and In many
places il drifted several feet deep Trains

Up to this writing no serious losses to

rapidly melting and indications now are
that northwest Nebraska will yet have its

TEKAMAH, Neb., Oct. 2.-(Special.)-
Senator e. J. Burkett addressed a large
and enthusiastic audience at the court
house last evening. He spoke at length
on the national issues and paid his compIi-
ments to w. ]. Bryan in an amusing and
effective way. He reviewed republican poll
ces and explained how ard why they
had brought such unexampled prosperity
to the American people. The hard times
of "a, '95 and So and the discomfort so
widespread at that time was contrasted
with conditions at the present time when
everyone is prosperous, contented and
happy Eft
He called attention especially to the ne
cessity of republicans voting a straight
ticket and electing a republican legislature
who would have the election OF United
States senator.

road has recently made contracts for the

properties on First street, along the line
OF its survey, and others have been asked

lieVed by some that this is a scheme upon
the part of some of the real estate agents
to initiate values but it is the opinion OF
most OF the people that the Burlington
will enter North Platte at no far distant
date. The contracts already made have
been at good prices: in fact, at amounts
a little above their selling value and they
are made on a cash payment OF $50. the
balance to be paid at the end OF thirty
days. This precludes the possibility Of the
sales being a scheme of real estate dealers
as It would hardly be possible for them to
sell the real estate at the prices contracted
for within thirty days. OF course II ths
Burlington is making a blum II could easily
AFFORD to lose the cash deposits, but every

MAN FOUND DEAD IN JAIL
Thomas Corey Apparently Commits
Suicide At MiIIard by Hang
Ing Himself in Cell.

WILLARD. Neb.. Oct. 5-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Last night a man named Thomas
Coffey, recently employed by Contractor
Fitzgerald on the railroad grade, came TO
the town marshal and asked permission
TO sleep in the Jail. This was granted and
the door was left open so he could leave
when he was ready. About 1880 O'Clock
he came to the marshal and asked that the
door be locked, as they are after me and
I'm afraid they'll get me-" His request
was granted.
This morning. when the marshal nm
locked the door. the body Of Coffey was
found hanging from the top Of one of the
cells, to which IL was attached by his
suspenders. The top OF the cell is so low
It permitted his feet to touch the floor and
he had bent his knees to produce strangula-
ton.
Little is known of the man around here
Mr.. Fitzgerald says he has known him
casually for twelve or fifteen years and
that he was a well educated man, but had
been ruined by drink and drugs. He was
about a years old.

WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-Viscount Aoki,
the Japanese ambassador, at a conference
with Secretary Root at the State depart

Of his government that the United States

the matter up with the president and It
Is likely that representations will be made
made with the authorities of California.
The ambassador said the exclusion Of
Japanese children from San Francisco
schools was the chief cause Of the critic
ism Of the United States. He was inclined
20 discount other causes given for the
sentiment against this country.
No formal protest was lodged by the am
bassador with Mr.. Root, but in a friendly
way viscount Aohi discussed the situation
with the secretary and expressed regret
that Japanese children should be discrim-
Snated against.

SHARP ADVANCE IN

Drought in. Argentina Is Chief
Factor in the Climb of
Quotations.

CHICAGO, June 20.-Damage by
drought to the wheat crop Of Argentina
and decreased receipts IN the south
western part of this country were the
chief reasons for an advance of more
than l cent a bushel today In the price
of wheat In the local market.
The closing price for the July de-
livery showed an increase of l cent
Corn was up Y cent. oats were u cent
lower and provisions were 2l3 cents
lower TO Is cents higher.
Early in the day trading was small
and the market steady. Rains in Mis-
souri, and Illinois were so heavy as to
cause some delay in harvesting, but
conditioes In Texas and Oklahoma
were favorable to the new crop. In
the Ohio river valley and portions of
the Northwest much needed showers
had fallen. Upon receipt of q cable
dispatch, which declared the wheat
crop of Argentina had been injured by
drought, trading became active and a
strong tone developed. Throughout
the remainder of the day the market
was strong on buying by shorts and
commission houses. A decrease in
Southwestern receipts and an advance
in the price of cash wheat at Kansas
City supplemented the Argentina dis
patch and held the market strong. July
