sheldon at Lexington.

LEXINGTON, Neb., Oct. l~6.-(Special
Telegram .)-Today will long be remembered
by the republicans of this vicinity as
Sheldon day. Governor Sheldon gave one
of the most convincing talks. from a re-
publican standpoint. that has been given
this year. He was introduced by Hon.
G.. Fl. Rlakeslee. The stage OF Smiths
opera house was filled with old soldiers.
The charges against the present state adj
minitration were all riddled. especially the
appropriation extravagances. The charge
that the republican administration favored
railroads was utterly refuted by the
records and that the much abused revenue
law brought more tax from the railroads
than any other system. He showed that
all the corporations were against the pres
ent regime. That the democrats in the
past were opposed to bank guaranty, there
being but three democrats in the leglsla-
ture one year who voted for It. He showed
that the railroad attorneys were to blame
for the five days delay IN the signing OF
the 2-cent rate bill. He went into detail
on all the issues Of the campaign, his argu-
ment being eloquent and convincing. He
completely riddled the lie hat he was OPP
posed 10 pensions In the Soldiers Home.
There is no doubt hat this meeting was
= vote getter In Dawson county. A strong
effort has been made in this county to
misrepresent Governor sheldon's views on
the Soldiers Home and the revenue law.
His reply to these charges was absolutely
convincing and the party Is to be corr
graduated on having him here just at this
time.
The applause that greeted the speaker
throughout was unbounded and spontane-
Gus. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
shallenberger had completed a two hours
talk as the governor began everyone pres
eDt was evidently satisfied at having been
present and a number were heard to re-
mark that their presence won a vote that
their absence would have lost. Governor
sheldon showed his audience how foolish
II was to censure a state administration
for the enactment of local measures. The
opera house was filled to its utmost ca
pacity and the entire community eDthusi-
astic over the result of the meeting.
Governor Sheldon this evening addressed
the annual convention of Christian En-
deavorers Of Nebraska at the First Presby-
terrain church.

Congressman Makes Address to Large
Crowd on Cam paiEn Issues.

NAV uNENAA w
Crowd on Cam pRiHn Issues.
BLOOMINGTON. Neb., oct. 1S.-(special)
Congressman George w. Norris wednes-
day addressed the people Of this community
on the issues Of the campaign. Tho large
hall was packed TO hear Mr.. Norris, who
came here from Naponee, Neb., where
he had addressed a large audience in the
afternoon. He was in perfect voice and
for two hours held the vast audience in
close sympathy with his remarks.
Mr.. Norris talked on tariff almost exclu-
sively. In the most instructive way he dis
coursed on the workings OF a protective
tariff clearly showing it benefited the
American farmer as well as the American
laborer, and how, in consequence thereof,
the American business man was benefited.
on the other hand he Just as lucidly ex-
planned the workings of a democratic tariff
for revenue only, showing that under this
operation the standard OF living. as com
pared between Europe and America must
go onto a common level.
Mr.. Norris took occasion to point out
as untrue statements scattered about
through this district by his opponent, MT.
Ashton, in which Mr.. Ashton through his
papers and circulars attempted to make
the voters believe Mr.. Norris in all his
dCllOnH IN congress was uppObtu W the
president. In this same connection Mr..
Norris made the broad statement that If
Mr.. Ashton could get Mr.. Roosevelt to
say that in any of those instances on any
bill quoted in the circulars, Mr.. Norris had
not voted right, he would withdraw from
the campaign. II Mr.. Ashton, on the other
hand, would agree TO withdraw from the
campaign, II Mr.. Roosevelt upheld as right
the votes cast by Mr.. Norris on these
bills.
Mr.. Norris resented, with some show Of
feeling, the insinuation c~overtly thrown
out against him that he was not in full
touch and sympathy with the policies Of
Mr.. Roosevelt. He briefly drew the atten-
ton of the audience to the lavish use Of
money being made by the democrats in
this district, drawing attention to the many
lmpromptu and set banquets that arc
given by Mr.. Ashton or his committeemen
all over the Fifth district. Banquets are
being given in even the small towns free
to the faithful and republican newspaper
publishers have been approached for the
use OF a column or two in their paper in
behalf of Mr.. Ashton.

the fire and smoke the train struck a Gull
vert which had been burned through. 1t
left the rails and piled into the ditch, ac-
cording to the meager reports received
through the two trainmen who escaped.
What scenes Of horror must have fol-
lowed when the terror-stricken refugees
found themselves helpless, amid the fire
from which they had been fleeing, are not
yet known from the lips OF any survivor.
Conductor Kinville and Engineer Foster
managed to crawl into Posen early this
morning on their hands and knees, both
badly burned. No story has been obtained
from them yet, owing to lack OF wires.
Only the bare report that they are alive
and in the village has come out.
Fifteen Burned Skulls Found.
From Millersburg about noon came the
first positive confirmation of the fate of at
least part of the rain passengers. 1t
was but a brief statement. II said that
fifteen burned skulls had been found in
the ruins Of a gondola car which made
up part OF the train and that the body Of
Fireman Arthur Lee had been found in the
water tank Of the engine, where he had
sought refuge and had persisted. The re-
port also said that Mrs. Cicero of Metz
and three Of her children were among the
dead. That is all which the anxious news
paper men and railroad officials here were
able TO get over the wire from the village
Of Mrlersburg up to noon.
Millersburg added grimly to its statement
that OF the fifteen skulls that had been
found most Of them were thought to be
those Of women and children.

Judge Smith Holds They May Not
Vote on Local Issues.
MITCHELL, s. D., Oct. 16.-(Special.)-
One OF the disturbing factors in city cleo
lions In this state, particularly where col
leges are located, is the student vote, as
to its legality. The question was settled
by Judge F. b. Smith today in a case that
was brought before him from the spring
election in Mitchell, deciding that fifteen
students voted illegally. The question was
brought up on an aldermanic contest, and
the testimony of the fifteen students was
taken before a referee, and their testimony
submitted. This testimony, In the persons
of Don c. Brown, Warren w. Cox, Robert
Wilde, Samuel w. Marble, Percival L.
Winslow, H. c. Kingsbury, Earl Aaron,
Carl Fosse, Walter c. Atkins, Ray N.
Studt, c. G. Hinkley, Frank johnson, Ray
Christensen, NJ. A. Shale and Scott p.
Hauser, and each of them stated that they
were students OF Dakota Wesleyan; that
they had come here to secure an education;
they were supported by their parents, and
that so far as they knew they would not
remain here after securing their educa-
ton. The students also voted on the Ii
cense question, and It was mainly through
their votes and other students that the
town went dry by a majority OF Il votes
1t was for the purpose of settling the
student vote that the case was brought.
The court in its findings stated that each
OF the students was no. a resident Of the
city and not a qualified elector at the date
Of the election and not entitled to vote in
this city. The findings do not dislodge
Mr.. Hardy from his seat on the council,
as his majority was larger than the stu

couragenent to that republican legislature.
He even failed to line up the members Of
his own party for reform measures. He
protested not one word when the fusion
member worked against the reform legis-
lation. That was how much interest Mr..
Bryan took in the welfare of Nebraska in
the winter of 1907.
The republican legislature of 1907 was be-
set on all sides by lobbyists. But Mr..
telling how the republican party was cor
p~oration owned. A majority of his own
party bitterly fought the republican pro-
gram and Mr.. Bryan had no words of con-
domination for these democrats. His BROTH
er-in-law, Tom Allen, encouraged the dem
ocrats to fight the reform legislation prom
Used the people by the republican party.
That is an indication of how much interest
Mr.. Bryan has in the affairs of Nebraska
and the welfare of its people.
