pard. Allison, who was one OF ~Sheppard's
strongest supporters, went to the man who
made Washington what II is and told him
that he could not be confirmed. and sug-
gested that he see the president and have
his name withdrawn. Sheppard pulled him
self up to his tallest height and said: SEN
ator, l knew your friendship for me, but
l want to say right here and now that you
can cut my throat, but you can't make me
rum Sheppard's name was not withdrawn
and he was rejected by one majority.
Broken in spirit, with his fortune shat

shortly afterward for Mexico TO rehabili-
tate his estate. which he accomplished at
the expense of broken health, but before
his death he returned to the capital OF the
nation to be acclaimed its patron saint.

YORK, Neb., Aug. 9-(special)-The
Farmers elevator at Benedict is one Of
the successful and prosperous farmers ele-
vators in Nebraska which has been doing
a most profitable business for several
years. It's success is due principally to the
fact that the farmers and stock holders
are in earnest and are assisting the offic.
ers to make 1t successful. The farmers
have had a great deal to contend with as
elevator after elevator owned by trusts
and large corporations have purchased
houses at Benedict. but there is no dissen-
sion among the farmers. Surrounding
towns, York. stromsburg, Thayer, Hous-
ton. Bradshaw and Polk, are losing con-
siderable grain trade which goes to the
Farmers Elevator at Benedict, because Of
the fact that frequently the Farmers ele-
vator pays &c a bushel higher than that
paid by elevators in the surrounding towns.

Senator Allison was one of the gentlest
souls in public life. He never permitted
himself to become angry or excited. his
softness of step and voice and manner
gave rise 10 many stories about this many

who once said Of him that Allison could
put on wooden shoes and walk over a tin
roof and make no more noise than a
tabby cat mhlcing over a Brussels carpet"
This. Of course, was stretching the long
bow. for Allison had opinions and cOnvic-
tioT.s as decided and earnest as those Of
any man in public life, but he never cared
TO assert them in vigorous fashion. his
ways being the ways of plessantness. while
all his paths were peace. Through his Ions
