r.. X. Townsend stricken.
Stricken in church last Sunday, but sup
posedly recovered, 7. X. Townsend fell dead
on the steps OF his home at 1923 South Fiji
teenth street, about 10 o'clock this morning.
His death is said to have been due to heart
trouble. In fact, Sheriff Hoagland, who is
actitg coroner In the absence OF Coroner
Matthews, considers the case so clear that
he has decided not to hold an inquest.
Mr.. Townsend was canager OF the coal
department Of the Star Van and Storage
company and had been in comparatively
good health until a short time ago. He
had had heart trouble for some time and
had been more affected recently than ever
before. Last Sunday he had an attack
that made him very Ill for a time, but he
had almost completely recovered from its
effects. This morning he was raking the
leaves from his lawn when the attack came
on. He started toward the house and got
as far as the porch steps when he fell.
The physician who was called declared
that he died Instantly.
He was 65 years Of age and leaves a wife
and three brothers. He was in the employ
Of the Burlington for about twenty years
and was also engaged in the contracting
business for about four. years. Funeral
arrangements nave not been completed.
Members of the Independent Order OF Odd
Fellows will have charge.

which he said the latchstring was hanging
out for the visitors. In expressing his
pleasure at addressing the meeting he said
that he felt as David Harum did when ne
sad that It seemed as II he we~a estraddle
a meeting house with every shingle playing
q jew sharp.
Mr.. Wright then dwelt upon the benefit
of gatherings Of the present kind, saying
There are nightly few original ideas in
this world. II you lave a little notion up
your sleeve which you. think original, re-
member this and do not try to keep 1t
bottled up. Pay back the Fellow you get
1t from by giving it to some one else.
II wish to emphasize a subject upon
which the mayor dwelt. 1t is that the
bone and sinew, the strength, muscle and
blood Of the country lies in the rural dis
tricts. Nothing will tend more strongly
to anarchy and crime, nothing could be a
greater national misfortune than the de-
pletion of the country districts for the
benefit of the cities. II you want a strlk-
Ing example OF the superiority Of the coun-
try breeding look at England and the
Beers.
Remember how that handful OF farmers
held at bay the English regulars recruited
largely from the cities Of England. Why.
60 per cent Of the applicants for enlistment
to the English army from urban precincts
had to be rejected on account Of physical
unfitness."
The views OF the mayor and Mr.. Wright
upon the superior stamina OF farm-bred
men made a decided hit with the delegates
and these passages received wild applause.

"The state OF Nebraska will give Mr..
lTaft a majority OF at least 25,000," said
Frank Currie OF Gordon, former state rep
resentative, who is at the Merchants hotel.
Mr.. Currie had Just arrived with a train
load of cattle and has been travelling over
the state extensively. While enroute to
Omaha with his cattle he took a poll of
three trains headed for Omaha and the re-
suit showed how the cattlemen of the
northwestern part Of the state feel toward
Mr.. Taft.
ION our train were fifteen ranchmen and
two tramps, and we did not poll the train
crew. The vote was fourteen for Taft and
three for Bryan, the two tramps voting for
Bryan. on the next train there were seven
people. counting the train crew, and here
Mr.. Bryan got two votes, one brakeman
voting for Bryan. On the third train Taft
got all the votes but one, That does not
look as though the people in the state
wanted any change in conditions.
"In all my travels over that section OF
the state l have been able to find but one
republican who says he is going to vote
for Bryan. Another little incident shows
the way the wind is blowing. Recently al
dinner twelve voters were seated. Eight
had voted for Bryan in 1895 and four of the
twelve had voted for him In 1900, but each

that the application OF the remedy would

Mr.. Taft concluded with the pledge Il

energies to constructive legislation along
tho lines he suggested.

proposed by Mr., Bryan. Mr.. Taft said
that the Nebraskan proposed two: First,
put all the trust made articles on the free
Hist; second, to impose a license for all
corporations who make 3 per cent Of airy
product in the United States.
As TO the first, he said: TO put trust
made articles on the free list would not
only destroy the business OF the so-called
m~onopolies and trusts. and only throw out
Of employment millions OF w~orklngmen en-
gagged therein, but Il would also destroy
absolutely the independent competitors
