T. Pluribus Unum.

Since Cleveland's day it's been my
fate
To vote and always be
Enrolled and counted on the slate
Among the G. o. P.
My partys somewhere-Heaven
Just where today they dwell!
They vanished when young Bryan
And threw his silver spell.
The East, the West the North and
South
Is there among them none
Who has more mind and less of
mouth
Than this Nebraskan son?
Lord, how long in the wilderness
Are We to wander blind.
Before we get in our distress
A man of our own kind?
l am an honest Deomcrat
Still hopeful, but not daft,
And since know just where I'm at
My vote is pledged to Taft.

WHAT PLEDGES DID MIR. BRYAN
MAKE TO THE NEGROES?

An Associated Press dispatch from
Topeka, Kansas, Says:
"Mr. Bryan arrived here early in
the afternoon, and was met by an
enthusiastic crowd. He went to the
Throop Hotel, where he received sew
eral delegations of enthusiasts. One
of these delegations consisted Of ne
groes. The doors were closed during
the visit and nobody knows what
was said. 1t is a ticklish question
in Kansas. There are a great many
negro voters here, and they have a
habit of voting according to their
convictions. Experienced observers
here say that the Kansas negroes are
nearly solid for Bryan"
Why are the negroes for Mr.. Bry-
an? They are against Mr. Taft be-
cause he dismissed the negro regi-
ment that shot up the Texas town
Now did Mr.. Bryan promise to rein,
state those negro soldiers if he is
elected President?
If not, why are the negroes fol-
him as against Judge Taft?

THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO.

The Monroe Enquirer says many
Democrats of Union County who at
tended the State convention came
home swearing they were done with
conventions and demanding a State
primary, and that number who par
ticipated in the recent primary in that
County declare they are done with
primaries under present conditions
What's to be done about it? If both
conventions and primaries are to be
done away with what will become OF

There is nothing left to do. It il

MIR. COX NOT AN ENEMY TO

Certain Democratic papers and pol

that Mr.. J. ElWood Cox the Republi-

member of the organization Of High
manufacturers that had trouble with
the labor organizations In the lock-

WAS 1T A CASE OF MURDER?
The Body of Mike BERGEN Arrived Here
in Suspicious Condition.

Last weeks Tribune announced the
death of Mike Kergen in Arizona, but
could give no particulars. Saturday, the
body arrived in this city, and on the
the shell or outer box were inscribed
the words cause of death unknown. >
Upon examination of the body, which
had been placed in pine box too short
therefor, it was found to be robed with
underwear and socks only, the head
bandaged in cheese cloth and resting on
a bundle of excelsior. Further examin-
alton found a cash extending from ear
to ear across the crown in which some
stitches had been taken to close the
gaping wound. 1t was an awful cash
and however inflicted must have pro-
duced instant death. No further partic-
ulars. Was it murder?
Deceased was about 30 years of age.
Upwards of seven years ago he left for
the west, and according to his last let
ter intended to soon visit loved ones at
home.

Death Comes Suddenly.

Monday morning, Feb. II, 1908, at
about 70 o'clock, Miss Katherine Appel
passed to ''the mysterious beyond
without a moments warning. 1t was
a case of apopleXy.
Deceased has suffered more or less
of late from neuralgia, and the day be-
fore her death experienced quite a
siege therefrom. The following non-
ing she was better to all appearances
and feelings, and was alone at the time
of deaths coming, her brother Adolph
having gone out with some ashes he
had removed from the stove. Upon his
return he found his sister on the floor
breathing her last.
Miss Appel had passed her 57th birth
day, and was born on the lot where she
died She was of a genial, kind and
liberal nature, most faithful daughter
and sister, and her untimely and sud-
den death falls with great force upon
her brother Adolph, the only one sur
viving of the once happy family. In
his time of sorrow the sympathy of the
community is unstinted.
