How Two Senators Heard the News.
Two men who had been with Sena-
tor Allison on the senate floor re-
death of the venerable Iowa senator

Senator La Toilette, who was
speaking at the chautauqua, was in
formed at once of Senator Allisons
death by Congressman Mccarthy
of Ponca and Senator Randall of New
man Grove, who hurried to the Wis
consn senator with copy of The
News as soon as he finished his address.
Senator La Toilette was much sur
prised.
Former Senator Allen, who was a
personal friend of Senator Allison for
forty years, was told of the sad news
over the long distance telephone as
soon as word was received in Norfolk
Tuesday afternoon.
1T Is hard to express Senator ALI
sons qualities" said Senator Allen in
commenting on the news. ALLISON was
good man. He was a great man in
many respects. He was honest. He
was conscientious. He was incidently
strong partisan. He had a great
capacity for detail work and no man
was better informed on our legisla-
tive history than he.
Though Allison was a man OF a
great deal of spirit and pride Of char
acter. he never sought controversary.
Our relations were always most
pleasant | knew him many years be-
fore | went to the senate. In fact
| have known him over forty years. "

Patent Rights Received by n. F. w.
Prelle of Bassett.

Bassett, Neb., Aug. Especial to
The News: H. F. w. Prelle, living six
miles east of Bassett, has received
notice of the issuance to him of
patent for rail brace which, to
those familiar with such devices for
preventing the spread of rails under
heavy engines, especially on curves,
appears to be the simplest In construc-
ton, the strongest and the most easily
placed in position on the rails of any
now on the market.
The new brace is made of two
pieces of iron identically the same
and so made that when both pieces
are placed on the base of the rail
and bolted with three bolts between
the rails a complete brace is formed.
Mr.. Prelle is young man who has
been raised in this county and whose
inventive genius has been watched
with interest.

Hartman Nav Make the Leaoue

Stanton Picket: Louis Hartman,
received communication from
our local hero of the spit ball, has
"Ducky" Holmes manager of the
Sioux City team of the Western
league requesting information as to
his physical qualifications and con-
tanning a hint that there is place
for him on "Ducky's" team If he is
as good as his record indicates. Those
who have seen his work are practically
unanimous in the belief that he will
make good in fast company, and while
he may lack some experience, being
but twenty-five years old, it is certain
that if he keeps up his present gait,
he will some day be star in the big
leagues. Out of twenty-three games
pitched for the Stanton team last year,
nineteen were victories and many Of
them shutouts. This record was made
with only an ordinary country team
behind him against some of the fastest
semi-professional teams of the state.
This year he has pitched eight games
and in not one of them have his oppon-
ents been able to score more than
five hits. In three of them but two
hits were made off his delivery and
one was a no-hit contest.

A Political Talk.

forgot all about his size.
A Political Talk.
Senator La Follette's address, talk,
campaign speech or whatever you
want to call it, dealt with politics from
the La Toilette viewpoint. The last
year or two have made La Follette's
view common property so there was
little of a new message to the people.
But La Toilette is man of detail. He
government was representative and
when it was not. And he gave the
La Toilette remedies.
Senator Dolliver, who spoke Satur-
day, represents one type of chautau-
qua speechers, Senator La Toilette
another.
Would Not Meet Callers.
The Wisconsin senator arriving in
Norfolk at noon took at once to bed.
He spoke in Kansas Monday and ar
rived in Norfolk about l D. m. from
Omaha. His first thought was for his
physical condition. SO with his door
barred he rested-it is doubtful II
even La Toilette could sleep under
the conditions for outside bands were
playing and autos screeching. This is
said to be the secret of La Follette's
endurance-that he guards his
strength.
And there were callers-EX-C Con-
gresham j. j. Mccarthy of Ponca
among them. Mr.. Mccarthy had
sought and struggled to swing Neb-
braska or at least the Third district
for La Toilette for president last
spring-but he couldn't break the
sleep rule. He was turned away with
the rest
Demanded Electric Fan.
Senator La Toilette before he re-
tired rushed to the telephone to ask
that an electric fan be placed on the
speakers stand and that ice water
be provided-he said that he wouldn't
speak without the fan and the water.
This ultimatum delivered the Wiscon-
