Congregational Candidate Set Barnard
McGrcavcy Free.


McGreavcy Free.
O'NEILL Neb., oct. 26.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-As the congressional campaign
draws to a close in this, the Sixth district,
even the most partisan democrats concede
the election of fudge Kinkaid by a very
large majority. During the last two weeks
Judg westover, the democratic nominee,
has undertaken to inject life into his cam
paign by moving his literary headquarters
here and Is circularizing the district by
personal letters and otherwise, appealing
to the people to vote for him because he IA
vors government guarantee Of bank de-
posts. In view of Judge Westover's record
as district Judge in liberating Barnard Nc
Greavey, the prince of forgers and bank
wreckers of Nebraska, many of his close
political friends admit he has made a grave
political mistake in undertaking to make
the people of this locality believe he is In
sympathy with the welfare OF at least some
of the bank depositors of this community.
McGreavey was president OF the Ekhorn
Valley bank of this city, which closed its
doors in November, 1904. When the bank
closed II was discovered that its principal
assets consisted of many thousands OF dol
lars Of forged notes which forgeries were
made by McGreavey and Pat HaEerty,

fled to Arizona and was travelling under
the nom de plume of George Bryan wlS1
arrested and brought back by Sheriff Hall
of this county. Hagerty fled to Mexico.
McGreavey was held in Jail in this city for
several months and then on a showing
made by his attorney, NJ. f. Harrington,
who is now one OF the Bryan electors, he
was granted a change of verne on the
ground that he could not get a fair trial
in this county. The change Of Vende was
granted by Judge Westover and he set the
trial for Bassett, Rock ounty. McGreaVey
was later taken 10 Bassett to be tried be-
fore Judge Westover. A jury was impan-
elled and sworn; the attorney for Nc
Greavey asked for a continuance for a few
hours from time to time during the day,
which c-ontinuances were granted by West
over, the last continuance being until 7
o'clock in the evening.
When court convened at Z o'clock Judge
| Westover announced, to the amszement
of a committee of depositors who were
there as witnesses for the state, that It
had come to his knowledge that some Of
the depositors were trying to effect a
settlement and compromise and he stated
that he would not permit the Judiciary to
be made a collecting agency, and he
therefore dismissed the suits against Nc
Greavey, and he, McGreavey, returned
home u free man immune from further
prosecution, as the jury had been sworn
and McGreavey's liberty once placed in
Jeopardy. 1t is stated by the deposltors
who were in attendance at the trial that
whatever overtures for a compromise or
settlement were made, came from the al
torney for McGreavey; and most of the de-

Cunning RepubIIcans E-ncournr.a.

WEST POINT, Neb., Oct, sS-(speciaI1-
The republicans of Cunning county, who
have been for so many years overshadowed
by the enormous democratic majority of
the county, are, since the rally at Beemer
last Wednesday night, gaining some cour-
age and considerable hope. The thinking
democrats, especially those farmers who
attribute their present prosperity to a re-
publican administration, are beginning 10
inquire into the true ihwaTdness of things
and are more and more disinclined TO allow
themselves to be led away by the sophis-
tries and clap-trap of the Bryan shouters.
More Independence Of thought has been de-
veloped among the democrats, the men OF
substance OF this community, during the
last few months than they have shown for a
decade. A general awakening along poll
tical lines seems TO have overtsken them
and the result win be an u~nmistakesble
flop and a reduction Of the ridiculous ma
jority heretofore given in This county for
the losing candidates.

The hair on the head grows at the rate of
about one fiftieth of an inch each day. or about

faster, say about onetwentieth of an inch each
day. until it reaches length of four tenths of

CLEARED STATESMAN OF DEBT.
DisraeIi's "Endymion" Fulfilled Expec-

In the year 1872 Lord Beaconsfield
commenced his last novel, "Endymion,"
work undertaken chiefly from the
honorable desire to obtain a sum OF
money that would finally wipe off a
residue of monetary engagements. He
worked at II pretty steadily until the
general election of 1874 called him to
Office, when his literary work was
set aside. Still he wrote at II &C.
casionally till the beginning Of the
year 1876, when the Eastern question
coming to the front and engrossing
his attention, he, as he thought, n
nally laid the work aside. He then
wrote a letter TO Lord Rowton, inclos-
ing the manuscript, unfinished by
something like 100 pages of printed
matter He stated his view that the
pressure OF public work would pre-
clude his continuing the novel, and in
the event of his decease he instruct
ed Lord Rowton 10 finish the work.
but not to volunteer the announce
ment that 1t had been left in an in
complete state or TO avow his cole bo-
ration, leaving the book to stand sole
ly in the name of its original creator.
Lord Beaconsfeld, however, living
through his own administration and
finding comparative leisure when in
opposition, completed the novel with
his own hand, and it was sold for the
splendid sum of 100000 windfall
which enabled him to fulfill his cher
ished desire of .paying off his debts.
