was a hoax and a frand upon the
western consumer. The tariff upon
wool and cotton goods were among
the items specified was greater than
was required to protect the Ameri-
can from the cheap labor of foreign
countries. Again he omitted to say
that the western sheepraiser and
the cotton grower of the south were
among the benefactors of high
prices for wool and cotton and that
the American farmer who produces
the corn, wheat and meat to feed
the great army of high priced lab

Scensured Senator Burkett for not
voting with the democrats when they

clause in the tariff bill in the last
session of Congress, but he failed to
give Senator Burkett credit for
drafting a resolution which was pass
ed that provides an amendment to
the constitution so that an income
tax may be constitutional. He ac-
knowledged such a resolution was
passed by the republicans but cen
sured it as being too far around,
stating that able lawyers were auth
ority for the statement that an in
come tax is constitutional, not with
ktanding the highest court in the

plead with the progressive republica
to support him because he had voted

saying tIGL some times some of the
progressive republicans voted for
democrat amendments against repub-

Division Fight Before The Board.

AS a result of the mandamus pro-
ceedings brought in district court by
Joseph Pigman against the county
Board of Supervisors, that body has
been in session all the week goniG
over the petitions of the two propos-
ed counties of Corn and Rose. 1t
has been a hard fight and a consid-
erably mixed up affair. Judge Sui
livan and his associates have con-
tested the petitions name by name,
while Attorney Clements and other
representative diVisionists have work
ed as hard on their side of the
house. In order to dispose as
quickly as possible of the mass of
evidence introduced the supervisors
have been holding three sessions a
day, every one being attended by
crowds of interested residents OF
the county whose sympathies are on
one side or the other.
On Monday night the examination
of the Corn county petition was con-
cluded; but the supervisors did not
pass on it at that time. The work
is now concentrated /on the Rose
county petition, and from the evid-
ence introduced by the anti-diyision-
lists on Wednesday it would look as
though they had considerably the
best of the game. The hearing will
probably last the balance OF the
week.

FUN AND FINES
Two Cherry County Farmers Have
to Pay for Booze FrOlie
On The Train.

II. o. and C. S. Jelinek of Wood
Lake, Cherry county, paid a forced
visit to the people of Broken Bow
one night last week, and were the
guests of Chief Towsley and Mar
shall Draper during their brief so
journ. 1t appears that the Jelineks
had been to Omaha on a business
and pleasure trip and when they
started for home, determined to lay
over a few hours at Ravenna where
they used to live, and where also
many friends reside. Now Ravenna,
be it known, is town of much
mirth and gaiety, and along its
streets are many emporiums whereat
the thirsty traveller from the sand
hills and other parts of the map
may regale himself with 10y water"
The Jelineks, meeting old friends
and remembering days of yore, pro-
ceeded not only to load themselves
internally, but to store sundry and
ulNNIo DOltlSo III nuibNuSNo anu lC-
ceptales about the clothes. When No
80 pulled into Ravenna, they were
loaded for bear and other small game
and when the train started they had
securely planted themselves in a
couple of seats and were trying to
drown all rememdrances of the part
ing that had just taken place. At
Ansley they had so for recovered
themselves as to fire an empty bottld
or two at the people on the platform
At Berwyn the fun was fast and fur
ious and empty bottles scared thru
the atmosphere like English spar
rows around the back porch.
1t was at this stage that the con-
ductor puietly took a hand in the
game and telephoned ahead to Bro
ken Bow for the marshall to be at
the depot. Upon the arrival of the
train Messrs. Towsley and Draper
were very much in evidence and pro
ceeded to escort the Cherry county
citizens across town to the steel Gag
where they were left to blissful re-
pose for the night. With the COM
ing of the dawn, however, matters
assumed a different aspect. One
Jelinek was peved and the other was
peevish; both had seal brown tastes
in their mouths and they wanted to
go home. But it was impossible to
allow such guests to depart without
asking of them a souvenir in fond
remembrance of the occasion. They
were accordingly taken before JUS
tice Fodge who informed them that

BARTLEY TO THE
NEBRASKA STATE
COMMITTEE.
Former Treasurer Seeks Chance To De.
fend Himself on Charge of
Democrat Candidate.
WANTS TO MEET THE COMMITTEE
WIRES REQUEST TO BYRNES

DENVER. Oct. 1S.--(Special Tel
egram to the Omaha Bee. )-"Never
run up the white flag" said ex-
State Treasurer Joseph S. BARLEY to-
night as he filed his telegram to the
chairman of the democratic commit
tee of Nebraska, asking permission
to appear before the committee with
g, M. Hitchcock to refute the charge
that he was blackmailer, as made
by the democratic candidate
The telegram sent to Chairman
ByrneS is as follows:
Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock, your can
didate for United States Senator, has
publicly called me a blackmailer,
VIII you permit me to meet him be-
fore your committee and allow me
the privilege of answering any ques-
tions he or any member of the COM
mittee may desire to ask me, con-
cerulng my relations financially and
politiGallywithhim? If you will gran
the privilege, | will thank you"
Mr.. Hitchcock statement in the
papers yesterday that Joseph S. Bar
tley had attempted to blackmal him
and was using Edgar Howard for
his tool was read by Mr.. BARLEY in
Deover last night and the eX-state
treasurer will defend himself from
the charge. He said he would be
in Lincoln the first of the week
probably though he said any one
who read the Hitchcock statement
and compared it with the fac-similes
of the Hitchcock letters to him GER
tainly could have no doubt of the
truth of Howard's charges.
In his possession Mr.. BARLEY has
many notations and memoranda of
| his transactions with Hitchcock and
these records disclose more startling
sensations than the records given ou
for publication by Edgar Howard
These papers indicate that Mr.. Hitch
cock settled a debt of between $500
and $4,000 for $1,000 and a note fol
$500, a total of $1,000, They indi
cate he not only failed to pay the
principal of the note, $1,000, but he
paid only about three-fifths of the
| interest on tn loan.
TOTAL DEBT $6,OOo.OO
The $4,000 note was dated Sept.
2S, 1898, and bore interest at the
rate of Z per cent. The note was
renewed Sept. 25 1895. Settlement
was made Oct. p 1904 at which
time the total debt Hitchcock owed
the eX-treasurer was in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 At that time he
pledged the 81 900 and gave his not
for $500 due Nov. 10, 1904. This
note was paid.
The memorandum kept by Bartley
shows that Hitchcock came to Lin
coin to see him and said he would
not pay the note and that if suit
were brought the state would prob
ably take the matter up and 'if any
one gets the money 1t will be the
state" Hitchcock is quoted as say
ing,
On one occasion BARLEY says he
drew upon Hitchcock for $500 when
the latter was in Washington and
HITCHCOCK said if the note and evil
| dence of his various transaction
| had accompanied the draft he had
ever demanded to know how he had
come into the possession of $4,000
| note.

Senator ]. p. Dolliver of Iowa die
at his home in Forte Dodge Satur-
day evening Oct. 18th after a brief
illness. He was not thought to be
in . critical condition by his friends
The day of his death he was up and
about the place and expressed to his
friends that he expected to be able
to resume work in a week. Senat-
or Deliver had served six terms in
Congress and had been in the Unit
ed States Senate since 1899 and had
three years more to serve on his
present term. No man of his state
has ever had so loved a following as
Senator Dolliver had attained He
was yet comparatively young man
only SO years of age and was rap
idly becoming a power in the United
States Senate. His death removes a
great man and his loss will be felt
by the nation as well as by his own
state. From humble start he has
gradually attained his greatness. A
mong his first law cases was before
the late Micheal Morrisey who was
a justice of the peace in Iowa be-
fore Mr.. Morrisey moved to Custer
county. When the Senator accom-
panied Theodore Roosevelt to
Broken Bow in the Mckinley cam
paign, Mr. Morrisey was one of the
first of Custer county's citizens to
meet him and extend greetings.

IN THE SUM OF $500.
Edgar A. job Bound Over to the
District Court for Stealing
From Electric Light Co.

Charged with having burglariZed
the tool house of the Custer Elec-
trio Co. of this place, Edgar A. Job
who claims to be only nineteen year
old was taken before County Judge
Holcomb last Monday afternoon and
bound over to the district court
in the sum of $500. The tool house
of the company was broken into last
Friday night, and upon information
received here from the authorities
at Ravenna, Sheriff Kennedy went
to that place last Saturday and re-
turned Sunday morning with three
suspects who had ben arrested with
some of the stolen property on them
When taken into court, Job assum-
ed all the blame and said his COM
panions were not implicated in any
way. He said he ran away from
the state reform school three years
ago, where he had been placed at
the instigation of his father but
had returned to that institution and
was now out on parole. He says
his home IS at Table Rock and that
he was originally sentenced to the
reform school for a term of seven
years on a charge of incorrigibility.
Job had been working for the
electric light company a short time
previous to his arrest and on the
night of the robbery, went to the
tool house to get some clothes be-
longing to him, which he claimed
were locked up there. According
to his statement, he had been imbib-
ing quantity of Fire Water" and
and was not responsible for his
after securing his personal effects,
went further and appropriated some
of the belongings of the company.
He says the theft was committed
without the knowledge of his COM
panions, which he joined later on.
The only thing Judge Holcomb
could do was to bind the young man
over to district court after he had
pied guilty; but County Attorney
Gadd will put himself in communi-
cation with the reform school autho
tiles and ascertain if the prisoner
can be returned there, as he has
shown decided preference to that
place over the penitentiary.

"Mr. Hitchcock's statement was
