Candidate For Congress

West Point. Neb., oct. Especial
to The News: Col. James G. Elliott,
republican candidate for congress
from the Third Nebraska district,
was born in Palmyra, Lebanon coun-
ty, Pa, June 81, 1868, and is there.
fore at this time in his forty.sixth
year. Ills birthplace was the farm
where he spent the first eighteen years
OF his life, excepting those intervals
OF time in which he attended the
common schools of his neighborhood
and taught several terms in the i'm.
mediate vicinity of his home. His ear
Tier education was obtained primarily
in the public schools of his county
and at private academy. He then
entered the state normal school at
kut2tOwn, Pa, whose principal at
that time was the famous DR.. Nathan
G. Schaefer, now superintendent of
public instruction for the state of
Pennsylvania. From this school Col.
Elliott graduated with honor after
preparing himself for entrance to the
University of Pennsylvania. His ca.
reer as q teacher embraced several
years during which he taught in the
country districts and later in the
schools of his native town. He, for
some time occupied the position Of
professor of grammar, English and Of
constitutional law in Palatinate col.
lege, Myerstown, Pa, now known as
the Albright institute.
His attention being directed at this
time towards the study and practice
of law he came west, establishing his
residence at West Point in June, 1887,
where he pursued and completed his
legal studies and was admitted to
the bar before Judge NJ. p. Kincaid,
now congressman from the Sixth Ne
braska district. presiding, in the year
1883. Since that time Mr.. Elliott has
practiced law, edited a republican
newspaper and been three times hon
ored by the appointment of postmast
er of his adopted city. During his
long residence here he has held vari-
Gus offices of trust; besides numer-
Gus local offices he has been president
of the State Firemen's association and
is now president of the State School
Officers association. His honorary
title of colonel was conferred upon
him by the Sons of Veterans with
which organization he has been close
ly identified since its inception.
Mr.. Elliott has always been a
staunch republican, holding sound
and pronounced views upon the topics
and policies which are now agitating
the public mind. In a recent CONVEX
sation Mr.. Elliott said Il wish en-
phatically to state that if there be a
man in this district who expects me,
if elected, to go to Washington and
vote against man, or men, who has
made an honest dollar with the brain
and talent God has given him. he will
be mistaken; on the other hand | do
not believe in men absorbing a sin

The chances are that bill providing fol
the approval Of those instruments Will
be brought in Immediately upon the pas
sage of the free list measure.
There is another question that Is wor-
rying the Democrats. 1t is presented In
the Anderson bill, which provides for
old-aSe pensions. 1t involves an aggre-
gate annual expenditure of more than
sfO.Ooc,000. Great pressure Is being ex-
erted to force action on this bill. In the
last session Champ Clark voted for the
.Sulloway old-aee bill; the Speaker and
other Democratic leaders are on record
for old-age pensions, and they deplore the
fact that a measure of this kind Is pend
ing at time when the party is endeavor-
ing to cut dowa public expenditures
Revenues VIII BE Reduced.
Furthermore, 1t is pointed out that the
free list bill working as law would re-
duce government receipts about 81 on. 600
or thereabouts. Just how the Treasury
would be able to meet an additional out
lay for pensions footing up to 81, ,000. 900
when legislation is under way that would
materially reduce receipts Is a question
that the Democratic leaders want some
one to answer. Those who are support
ing the Anderson bill insist that II shall
have a hearing. Representative Ander-
son, of Ohio. the author of the biIl has
filed a, motion that the Committee on
Invalid Pensions shall be discharged,
from further consideration Of the meas
ure. This means that a vote on this
proposition cannot be long avoided.
So the Democratic leaders who have
heretofore been in an optomistic frame
of mind are beginning to disclose brows
furrowed with trouble. They knew that
power brought responsibility, but they
We're hopeful that their organization
would prove responsive throughout the
life of the special session. With one
group demanding free raw wool and an
other clamoring for a s45,00c0c0 pension
BILL, Leader Underwood has come to the
conclusion that he will have his hands
very full before getaway day rolls
around.
Seven speeches were made on the free
list bill in the House Yesterday. Rep
resentatires Moss and Cox, Of Indiana,
and Rucker, of Colorado. Democrats,
spoke for the bill. Representative Long
worth. of Ohio; Madden, of Illinois. and
Dyer, of Missouri, made speeches in op
position. Representative Madden in
jected scme annexation talk into his
speech. He said that he believed close
commercial relations with Canada would
tend to a political union. He said he

WRECKS DEATHS

Missing Women Sought in
Ruins of Smash Up.

Utica, N. T.. May THAT more teach
ers perished in the Martins Creek wreck
Saturday afternoon than is known at
present is the belief Of Prof. Vincent
Brown. who returned from Easton to-
night. He bases his opinion on the count
of the passengers made by the railroad
officials prior to~the accident and the
most accurate list Of survivors that can
be secured.
The railroad company collected 1s5 fares
from the teachers. The Utica survivors
number 153. This leaves twelve to be
accounted for. OF this number seven
are known to be dead. and II Is Prof
Browns theory that several others whose
names were not on the excursion list
may have perished In the flames.
This belief was strengthened tonight
when Hugh Jones announced that his
sister, Margaret Z. Jones, a member Of
the excursion party. has not been heard
from.
It is believed. that the completed list
will show that twelve Utica women met

RAILROADS PLAN
MANYEXTENSIONS
Millions Are Borrowed to FL
nance Undertakings.

New York, May LA high note Of 'optf-
mism was sounded In the financial dis
trict to-day when the news for the first
time became known that railroads. rep
resenting probably two-thirds Of the to-
tai mileage of the country. have borrowed
since the first Of the year the enormous
amount Of $427. 900.
Add to this the t10o. 100000 which the
Missouri Pacific system is arranging to
borrow. in order to finance the extensive
improvements, to say nothing Of lesser
amounts many of the smaller systems are
preparing to negotiate. and the grand to-
tai for the year will exceed that Of any
similar period for more than a decade.
Well-informed financiers say to-day
that within the next three months or so
the total would quite probably be the
greatest in the history Of railroad financ-
ing in America for any single year.
The Immediate cause OF the move
ment of such a vast sum Of capital
into railroad securities is the unusual
abundance Of available capital and the
low rate Of interest that has ruled for
the last three months. Heretofore the
money needed has been found in Eu-
rope because Of the lower rates that
prevailed there.
A large proportion Of the millions
borrowed by the roads thus far this
year has been obtained for the purpose
of refunding existing obligations that
were taxing the transportation COM
panies hundreds of thousands in inter-
est.
Another feature OF the transaction
is that several Of the roads that have
made these conversions have substi-
tuted short-term notes. running froI~
one to three years, for other forms Of
securities at the old rates.
This will mean a saving Of millions
and enable the roads to put into bet
terments and improvements more out
of their earnings In the next few years
han they have been able to do for
long period. .-
