WRITING SPEECHES
How the President Is Spending His
Summer Vacation.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 2.-To prepare a
half dozen addresses, each of which
will be read very generally by a ma
ton of eighty million people and all to
be delivered within the week from
September 80 to October 6, is the task
to which President Roosevelt is now
devoting several hours of his time
each night from 8 o'clock until bed
time. Beside the half dozen set
speeches, the president will be called
upon for as many more extemporane-
Gus talks. and these, too, require some
attention although not a finished pro-
position.
The president is to terminate his
vacation with a dash through the mid
die west and the south. He will par
ucipate first in the ceremonies attend
ing the unveiling of the national
monument to the late President Nc
Kinley at Canton. Ohio. September 80.
At Keokuk Iowa, Mr.. Roosevelt will
speak again the following day and
while no intimation has been made as
to the character of this address, 1t is
believed that it will deal with the
problems of the day AT this place
the p1 esident will begin his cruise of
the Mississippi aboard steamer
bearing the river name. River steam
boat travel gives no opportunity for
rear platform talks and handshak1ng
with eager crowds, but it has been in
dfcated that many persons will line
the river banks just for glimpse of
the president as he floats by.
The river trip will be punctuated
with functions at st. Louis. where an
other prepared speech will be deliv-
cred and at Cairo and at Memphis,
where the cruise will end. On the
way by train back to Washington
there are indications that the presi-
dent will yield to opportunities which
are coming to him for more talks and
that he will speak to the people of
Nashville and Chattanooga or some
other selected point.

ENTERS HIS CAPITAL.
Second Visit of the Gar to st. Peters
burg Since ''Red Sunday"

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 2.-For the sec
ond time since Red Sunday" January
p, 1905, Emperor Nicholas entered the
capital to attend the conservation of
father, Alexander the second, who was
assassinated in March, 1881 on the spot
where the edifice was raised.
The date Of the trip, coinciding with
the conspiracy trial just closed here
plainly was designed to raise the loyalty
of the army and the people. 1t was a
complete success and no untoward in
cident occurred. The police neglected
no precaution to insure the safety of the
Emperor, and even went so far as to
thoroughly search the city and in
spect the passports of suspicious in
diViduals. Gendarmes were stationed in
every window facing the route over
which the imperial procession passed,
and owners of houses were forbidden to
open windows. under pain of a heavy
fine. Bridge and river traffic was en-
tirely suspended; the banks of the Neva
were lined with marine guards and tor
pedo boats patroIled the river
The imperial party arrived from
Peterhof unannounced, not single
salute being fired during their whole
stay. The emperor and his party dis
embarked from yacht at the admiralty
and entered an unconspicuous launch,
landing at the grand duke Constan-
tines palace Thence they proceeded
the remainder of the way to the mem
orial church in carriages Though the
church faces the Nevslxy Prospect it is
reached from the Neva
across the Mars field drill ground, where
a new road fianked by rows of flags
had been made for their majesties
After two months of daily rains the
sky cleared and the sun shone upon the
brilliant scene of nearly a hundred de-
tachments of troops with widely vary
ing uniforms stationed along the line
of march. The emperoF's arrival was
the public looking on indifferently. The
big church yard, where the imperial
party arrived at the hour set for the
function. was picturesquely bordered by
platoons of currasierS, grenadiers and
dragons in multi-colored uniforms
waving plumes and silver breast plates
After walking around the church and
the guards the emperor en-
tered the edifice at the south door.
The scene inside was one of great
splendor recalling the old time court
balls. An abundance of light streaming
through the lofty windows illuminated
the four immense mosaic columns
around which were grouped 1000 rem
of the ruling classes The
and empress occupied the So
called Patriarch place at the right of
the altar where they were visible only
from the diplomatic loge. A score Of
grand dukes and grand duchesses en-
circIed the imperial pair and further

vincial governors and a preponderant
ma iority of army officers Premier

DIRECT PRIMARY.
Nebraska Is About to Try 1t for the
First Time.

Lincoln, Sept. 2.-Nebraska tomor-
row will have its first trial of the direct
primary method of nominating state
and county officers. The la enacted
by the last legislature does away with
all nominating conventions for city,
county and state. and the statewide
primary is to have its initial test. Ne
braska this fall elects an ass ociate JUS
tice of the supreme court, a railroad
commissioner and two regents of the
state university. Outside the larger
towns there is little interest in the pri-
maryland the expectation is that the
vote will be light, partly because of
the off year apathy and partly be-
cause of the unfamiliarity of the voters
with the new system.
Five tickets will be represented on
the primary Republican, Demo-
crat. Populist. Prohibition and Social
ist There has been practically no
strife among the candidates save for
justice of the supreme court on the Re
publican ticket and there are only two
candidates of that party. present JUS
tice Samuel II. Sedgwick and NJ B.
Reese Their strength is thought to
be not far different.

STILLINGS TO STAY.
RumOrs of His Removal Are Officially
Denied.

Oyster Bay. Sept 2.-Recently pub
lished rumors that Public Printer Still
lings had displeased the president and
was to be supplanted. was the occasion
today for the issuance of a statement
plimentary to Mr. Stillings by Sec
retary Loeb. 1.-The president has not
the faintest idea of displacing Mr.. Still
lings," said Secretary Loeb. 'It fol-
lows as a matter of course that in
bringing order out of the utter chaos
that had existed in the government
printing office a certain amount of ILL
feelin- would be aroused on the part
of the disgruntled employees. The
president feels that Mr.. Stillings has
discharged his duties with courage,
efficiency and honesty. and that he has
now put the office on a thoroughly
businessIike and economical basis. In
stead of being criticised. Mr.. Stillings
is entitled to great credit for what he
has accomplished and he continues to
have the presidents entire confidence"

GOOD RAIN FALLS HERE.
Almost an Inch of Precipitation Last
Night.

The heated spell which has prevailed
in this part of the state for a week as
well as the accompanying dry streak
was broken by a good shower COM
mencing at $50 last night and lasting
until IL O'Clock. At 2 o'clock rain be-
gan falling again and continued for an
hour and a half. the total precipitation
during the two showers amounting to
SO of an inch.
Though the rainfall in this section
was purely local. it is the guess of the
weather department that there were
showers more or less general over the
entire state. Besides affording relief
from the intense heat of the past week
the rain Will be of great value to late
corn which had already commenced to
suffer from lack of moisture. The up
land pastures were also commencing
to turn brown, not good color at this
season of the year.
There was little or no wind with the
rain last night and the heavens indf-
cate showers today though there are no
reports from over the state upon which
a prediction can be based. as Labor
day is recognized as a holiday by the
weather observers at the various sta
tions over the state. There is a good
stiff breeze blowing from the north to-
day and the mercury is hanging nearer
the bottom of the tube than it has for
many days.

Joseph BOllack Takes the Life
of Andrew Mauer.
Hits Him Over the Head With a
Chair.
KICKS AND BEATS MAN
Victim Dies From Injuries Two
Hours Later.
Woman and Man Die by Car
bOlic Acid.

The usual Sunday fight in Little
Russia proved fatal last night.
Joseph Bollack, who has figured in a
majority of the Little Russia" dis
turbances and is well known in police
court, is locked in the county Jail on
a charge of murder, and Andrew
Mauer, who lived at 217 East Curtis
street, is dead. He was assaulted in
his own home by Bollack. and died
two hours later as a result.
As Bollack, Mauer and all the wit
nesses in the case are Russians the Of
ficers had some difficulty in learning
the particulars, but gathered that Boil
lock had come to Mauer's house while
drunk, and started a fight.
Bollack. who is said to be a good
hearted man when sober but verit-
able fiend when under the influence of
liquor went to his friends house and
began talking about various affairs He
became much excited and finally said
he was going home to take it out on
his boys Mauer tried to persuade him
to be quiet and quit talking, when the
enraged man turned upon him. knock
ed him down with a chair and then
kicked him numerically in the bowels
Not content with this and insane with
rage the infuriated man kicked his
PROSTATE victim in the face until one
eye was gouged out.
Two of the Mauer children were at
the house at the time and ran scream
ing to the house of a neighbor saying
their father was being killed.
Dr. H. H. Keith was called, and
found Mauer strangling with internal
hemOrrhage, and notified his relatives
that the injured man could live but
short time. The police found Bollack
at the home of a friend just across the
street from Mauer's house, and took
him to the county jail. He was in
jail when Mauer died about midnight
BOllack is several years younger
than Mauer, but it was evident from
the appearance of the room where the
injured man was found that he put up
a stif defense before he was finally
f1oored The room and all the fur
niture was completely wrecked.
A warrant charging Bollack with
murder was issued today. y
MIR. Mauer's family consists OF a
married son. daughter II years old,
who was out walking at the time with
a son of her fathers slayer, and three
younger children. DR.. Keith was hur-
riedly summoned but as soon as he
saw the suffering man pronounced his
injuries fatal and advised the family 10
send for Father Henry.
The grief of the grown daughter was
pitiful to witness. She seemed unable
to realize that her father was dying
but begged him to speak to her. Boil
lack is the same man who Few
ago VIII en- drunk knocked his
wife down and kicked and beat her in
a cruel manner. The Mauer and Boil
lack families have been friends for
years.
