DR.. Condor Wins Case,

Humphrey, Neb., Sept. Especial to
The News: Marshal Becholdt of this

board, following investigation by Gov.
Aldrich into Dr. Condon's charges.

was unfit for his job; that he brazenly
lied on the witness stand, even deny

Catholic priest of Humphrey; that
Humphrey had a great many harlots
in it during the carnival and that there
was widespread debauchery, which the
marshal made no effort to suppress.

Judqe WEIGH.

Bloomfield Monitor, June 30: The
Monitor is pleased to announce in this
issue the candidacy of Judge Welch,
of Wayne, for denomination to the
office he has filled so honorably and
so well, that of judge of the ninth
judicial district of Nebraska. His abil-
ity and fairness on the bench have
won for him the praises and con-
gratulations of the entire district re-
CARELESS of the political beliefs of
those who have watched his course.
Two years ago Judge Welch run and
the political field and this unique sit
uation in this district is more than
likely to be carried out again in the
present campaign. Judge WEIGH has
served all people alike during his serv-
ice on the bench and his friends are
alike numerous in all parties. Since
our friends of the opposition are the
authors of the sentiment that the
bench and the schools should be sep
arated from political strife it is not
likely that Judge Welch will meet with
opposition this fall. The Monitor is
proud TO announce to our people that
Judge Welch is DESTROYS of succeeding
himself, and we know that the result
will be a satisfactory verdict of APP
proval of his past course and a vote
of confidence in his superior ability
and wisdom.

REACTS ON MADERO.

Mexico, Sept. 5.-"Long live Ma
dero; death to Pine Suarez," was the
shout with which the people in Puebla
greeted speech by Francisco /. Ma
dero, indicating how the candidacy of
Jose Pine Suarez for vice president
has been received in some parts of
the republic.
Only in few quarters has the in
surgent movement been directed
against Madero, the progressive nom.
inee for the presidency, but the spirit
of antagonism towards Suarez has
been manifested by means of public
statements and editorials throughout
the republic.
Even friends of Madero expressed
lively fear that the selection of Suarez
and the riot of Sunday when Gen.
Reyes, the opposition candidate for
the presidency, was stoned, may have
the effect of lessening the chances of
Madero for election. A number of
dailies in the capital condemn the riot,
asking in derision: What sort of a
democracy is this which we have gain
ed" DR.. Francisco Vasquez Gomez,
the defeated candidate for the vice
presidency, published statement as
sailing Madero for having annulled the
biffs of the revolutions and declares
under the regime of Diaz more con-
sideration was given Madero himself
when he organized manifestation in
the capital in 1910 than was accorded
to Gen. Reyes.
While Madero in a public statement
deprecated the riot, he explained that
the people were afraid that Reyes
would impose on them another dictat.
orship. He also made a prediction
that his ticket would have the sup.
port of SO percent of the people.

Page, Neb, Sept. Especial to The
News: A large barn on the George
Frechler farm three miles northwest
of Page burned down at midnight Sun.
day night. Seven head of horses, 600
bushels of grain, harness and other
articles were consumed. Also about
dozen hogs. Some of the neighbors
who were visiting and were returning
nome noticed the fire and got to the
farm before the barn was entirely con-
sumed. John Classy and family, who
were tenants on the farm, We're fast
asleep and did not know there was a
fire until the neighbors woke them.
A few bushels of small grain was all
that was saved out of the barn
After the fire had died down it was
noticed that one of the best horses
was missing, also the saddle which
hung in the oat bin. The missing
horse was tracked through a gap in
the trees west of the farm yard and
diagonally across stubble field to the
section line road where the wire fence
was down. The thief must have been
acquainted with the premises and the
fence. The tracks led up to the road
west of the barn.
Sheriff Grady arrived on the scene
about s o'clock Monday morning and
after an investigation decided that the
barn was burned by the thief in or.
der to cover his crime.
Search is being diligently made for
the thief. The property destroyed is
partially covered by insurance but the
loss will be heavy. Mr.. Classy, who
Irents the farm, is considered one of
the best farmers and one of the best
citizens hereabouts and has no enc,
mics.
The missing horse is about eight
years old, weighs 1850 pounds, color
bay with small white spot on left
hind foot; collar scars on shoulders;
black name and tail; holds head high

city have made final arrangements for
a day of amusement and entertain
ment at Riverside park next Friday,
September s, that will be absolutely

Owing to the failure Of the parties
that were secured by the Neigh driv.

tract signed yesterday afternoon by
c. L. Wattles, secretary of the Ne
ligh Commercial club, who was in
Omaha and who in turn telegraphed
this report to F. G. Auringer of this
city. The signing of this contract
shows the spirit of the citizens of Ne
ligh, and in order to satisfy all those
that were disappointed in not seeing
the fight during the race meet, they
decided unanimously to make this ex
hibtion absolutely free to every one
and there will be no charge of any
kind, and all are cordially invited to
accept Of Neligh's hospitality on Fri
day of this week.
Arrangements are now in progress
to add other entertainment for the i'm
mense crowd that will certainly be
