entering the Stadium He was
Dorondo, an Italian. and his condition
was pitiable., He staggered and fell,
only to rise again and totter on few
feet more. The crowd on the track
closed about him and then broke away
when he was able to make another
effort. The spectators were deeply
impressed. There were crise Of "Stop
him." Don't kill him." t'This is not
sport" from every side.
Suddenly, while Dorondo lay on the
ground with his lap in the Stadium
two-thirds done and with crowd sur
rounding him on the track, cheer
broke forth from the 100000 spec
tators The second runner had come
into the Stadium. He was stocky
youth and on the breast of his white
running shirt shone the American
emblem. r.
Urged on by his supporters and by
the cheers of the throng the Italian
was again on his feet. It was impos-
sible to see whether he had been
assisted up or not, but he made a
brave effort to run. He wobbled along
until he was twenty yards from the
finish. There were two officials, the
clerk of the course and a big assist
ant, at his side. They apparently

every time he was on the point of
falling. A tremendous outbreak of
cheering, mingled with shouts of
anger, from the spectators made a
pandemonium. The 100000 people
were on their feet together and the
confusion was indescribable. Again
Dorondo collapsed a few yards from
the finish and directly in front of the
press stand, whence it was possible
to see plainly all that occurred. The
italian lay stretched out prone. He
seemed to be fainting. A trainer put
bottle to his lips and some officials
raised him to his feet. He staggered
on, gasping, for the few yards still
separating him from the tape. Three
or four times he was on the point of
falling backward. The big official,

ian's back, showed him ahead for the
last few feet, while another official
helped by supporting him by the arm.
AS the plucky runner touched the
tape his supporters let go. He then
sank in heap and tainted. Doctors
with stretcher dashed forward and
carried him off just as Hayes, the
American runner, came trotting heav-
lily and slowly, but gamely, to the
winning post.
Once more the spectators broke out
into tun1ult, but more from excite
ment than from a desire to cheer, for
the Italian flag had been raised over
the staff in the center of the arena
with the American flag below it. The
American officials quickly gathered
about the judges and protested. Half
an hour later the announcement was
made that Hayes had been declared
the winner. Hefferon, South Africa,
was second, and Forshaw, American,
third

WALES REVIEWS TROOPS.
Twenty Thousand Soldiers and Sail
ors in Line at Quebec.

Quebec, July 25.-The Prince of
Wales reviewed 10000 soldiers and
sailors on the plains of Abraham,
after which he formally delivered to
the governor general the title deeds
of the backgrounds of Montcalm and
Wolfe as a permanent memorial res
!ervation. Field Marshal Lord Rob-
erts, who assisted the prince in re-
viewing the troops, excited hardly less
interest than the prince himself, as
many of the men served under him in
South Africa. The military forces en-
gagged in the review were upwards of
$4,000, while sailors and marines from
the Warships added another 5000 to
5000. .s.z-z.e.,. +

Wanted a Change.

In the light of the recent cleo
ton, it is hard to understand what
the people Of Nebraska want.
Two years ago they we're clamOr-
ing for a number of reforms, A
republican governor saw to it that
these laws were enforced. One
would think that ordinary graft
tude would have insured the re-
election of governor and his CO.
workers, but the election returns
indicate that gratitude is Lot one
of the dominating qualities of the
of voters of the state. They gras p
ed the first opportunity to repu-
diate the administration that has
done more for them than any adj
ministration the state has ever had.
With Editor Ladd of the Albion
News, we arr impelled to say: III
it is a change the people want and
it seems that it is. then the coming
legislature should repeal the anti
pass law, the freight reduction law
the direct primary law and the rest
Of the measures of relief passed
and put in force by the last ad-
ministration, and the railroad COM
mission should 90 out of business
and the affairs of state turned back
to the railroads to run as best
serves their interest" Nebraska
will live to regret the day tn at it
turned down George Sheldon
Central City Nonpareil.
Yes, the people wanted a
change. They had not for gotten
these reforms that they boast OF
were not favored by Sheldon and
that he appeared unfriendly to the
interests of the people: that he
raised taxation 6f the people more

IN proportion than Of railroads;
that be opposed the 2 cent bill I'M
til the very last; that he discrimi-
mated against western stockn en-;
that he vetoed the wolf bounty ap-
preparation which was a state debt,
but had money for increased ap-
preparations for other purposes

administration previous and nea
ly twice that Of 1898 when the
Democratic legislature appropriate
ed money to pay off nearly a doz-

state wolf bounties; that he was
not as great a man nor as sincerely
interested In good government as
he pretended, and as a few blinded
republican newspapers have tried
to make believe that he was and
are now crying themselves to sleep
over his defeat and his greatness
and the regret of the state for such
a catastrophe; then, for the further
reasons that the democrats in the
last legislature stood shoulder to
shoulder with the reform republic
cans and but for these democrats
the Sheldon administration could
not have boosted of reforms.
Yes, the people wanted change.
They knew their friends.

The following from the Akin

The following from the Akin
son Graphic touching up the
/ Roosevelt administration of graft
and shows how unjust was the re-
quiring people to come out west
to register for Trip county home
steads. We have thought and said
many times that the opening Of
Trip county was more a graft for
the Railroads than any thing else
though perhaps this western coun-
try was to some extent advertised
by getting people out here to see
the country but many a poor and
and needy eastern farmer was de-
prlved of entering into the contest
because of the chance game and the
expenes necessary to come and
register. Brother Akin is on the
right trail and if he will open his
eyes a little wider he will see some
other gratis of the republican party
and he may become a democrat.
We are glad to see him getting
his eyes open. Here's his article:
The next land opening conducted
by the government should be con-
Quoted along more popular lines
than what regulated the Trip
county opening, which was nothing
but a boom for registering points
and increasing the earnings of the
railroads. 1t is an admitted fact
that thousands of deserving citi-
Zens in the far east, south and west
would have gladly seized the oppor-
tunity to get a home if they could
have spared the time and money
to have appeared at the registra-
ton points to file. They as citizens
under this government were en-
titled to an equal show with the
more fortunate citizen who had
time, money and a less distance to
travel and in many cases in no.
need of a home. This unfairness
eould have been obviated by what
would have proven to be a popular
drawing by legalizing notaries and
commissioned officers who are nv
merOus in every town of any size
in the union to permit any citizen
who vas eligible to appear before
them and register. 1t is admitted
that this program would not boom
registering points or increase the
railroad dividends and the drawing
might prove to be a voluminous
affair but it would place every eli IT,
zen on an equal footing and give
him a square deal and we trust that
the next laid opening whether it
be under Teddy or Taft will be
considered from the point of the
greatest good to the greatest num-
Der and not for the benefit of spe-
cial interest,""
Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1908-11-26

When we see an article in a re-
publican paper bitterly lamenting
the defeat of Gov. Sheldon we
can't help wondering how the
writer was so deceived in the man,
or the question arising, "What
graft was YOU interested in!'

EAGLE POINT ARRIVES.
Accident at Sea in Engine Roons ee
 Liner

Accident at Sea in Engine Roona ae
 Liner.
 Philadelphia, Feb. 12.--The Phfladel~ phia transatlantic liner Eagle Point arrived here shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon.
 The web crank shaft of the steamer broke during a violent storm and the ship rolled helpiessiy in the rough seas. It was impossible to repair the danl~ age so that the triple expansion engine could be run even wi1 en reduced to two sections and it was necessary to make radical changes.
 Chief Engineer Jack took the engine apart by the bit and practically re- modelled it. The work was extremely difficult because of the heavy weather and the violent rolling of the steamer However, he succeeded in getting fha machinery sn such working order as to permit the steamer to proceed slowly.
 There are forty-eight men in the crew, and, in addition, the steamer car ried eight cattlemen. The fresh meats gave out and all hands were put on sh ort rafions.
 Captain Lloyd said the weather ex- perienced was the worst he had seen in twenty-five years at sea The steamer, he said. waa at no time in any danger. Very little coal was con- sumed while repairs were being made and when the steamer made port. there was sufficient fuel left to last several days.
 The Eagle Point sustained no dain- age beyond the broken crank shaft Captain Lloyd said he was spoken to twice and offered assistance, but de- clined with thanks, as he was confident that his engine room stan could effeck the necessary repairs. During the ten days the Eagle Point was making re. pairs the steamer drifted about 200 miles and was at all times directly in the path of transatlantic liners.

Dr. kfiege Tells ReichsfaK Way Agree
 ment Was Net. signed. ssf
 Berlin, Feb. 12.-Speakings before tho Budget Commission of the Reichstag today. Dr. Kriege. permanent German member of the arbitration court said that Germany would not sign the agree ment at The. Hague last summer. This was not signed by Germany at the con- ference itself because the other great powers had postponed afiixing their signatures.
 pr. Kriege said the German delegates to the peace conference had opposed tfe<court of compulsory arbitration for the whole world because they, believed such court would endanger the gem eraI Idea of arbitration. Tn accordance with the final protocol of the confer ence, Germany already han Ss,.> uded ence, Germany already had concluded obligatory arbitration arragementswith several States. and she proposed to continue such. arrangements. It was incumbent upon her. however to ob-. serve. q certain caution because she is surrounded on all sides by neighbors and Is consequently exposed to more business difficulties than are countries with few neighbors or surrounded by sea.
 Answering the suggestion that Ger many have an official Representative at the Inter-Parliamentary Peace Confer- ence, which is to meet in Berlin this year, Herr von Schoens the Foreign, Sec retary, said the GoVernnent looked forward to this conference and would certainly participate.
 Replying to an inquiry regarding to character of international negotiations respecting the Baltic and the North Seas, Hem von Schoen denied the cor rectness of, the assertion that the ob- ject of the proceedings was to make the Baltic a closed sea. while the nee gotiations regarding the North Sea were intended only to guarantee the preservation of the status DUO. each country to give a solemn pledge that 1t will make no attempt to change the existing situation.
 The Foreign Secretary expressed tha hope that those arrangements would contribute substantially toward reas- suring the public mind and safeguard ing peace.
