Joseph Bayer, the composer, conducted the or- chestra, Herr Strauss, who occupied a pri- vate box with his wife, repeatedly bowed his thanks to his admirers in the hous Later he was compelled to make a brief address, in which he thanked the audience for- their loving demonstrations.

LOURENZO MARQUEZ, Oct. 14.—The re- bellious Kaffirs, In great force, attacked this town today, but were repulsed. A renewal of the attack is expected at any moment. The situation is serlous, as the force defending the place Is not sufficient to make a pro- longed resistance. CAPE TOWN, Oct. 14.—The government of the South African republic has offered to Rssist the Portuguese at Lourenzo Marquez against the Kaflirs. The proposed co-opera- tion is regarded with suspicion here as an iniringement of British suzerainty, LONDON, Oct. 14.—A dispaich to the - Times from Lourenzo Marquez says that the Portuguese have politely declined the ofter of assistance made to them by Cecll Rhodes, prime minister of Cape Colony, to quell the rebellion. The dispatch says that the cable station at Lourenzo Marquez has been adandoned and the cable connected with the British war- ship Thrush, from which all dispatches are sent. The correspondent of the Times, con- tinuing, says: The governor yesterday told me that he did not believe the rebels would attack the town, but they attacked it this morning and were repulsed by a heavy cannonade. Twelve Portuguese were killed. The country is in open revolt, and the author- itles talk of asking assistance from the Transvaal. The situation is unbearable, CZAR'S DEATH NOT NEAR. ®rominent Vienns Physician Says it Wil Come After w Gradual Decline, BERLIN, Oct. 14.—According to the Lokal Anzeiger, a Vienna physician who is fully informed by St. Petersburg doctors, states that the diagnosis of the czar's complaint wavers between cancer in the renal region and inflammation of the kidneys. All the doctors, however, agree that the end will be nelther speedy nor sudden, but that death will come after the gradual decline. LONDON, Oct. 14.—The St. Petersburg sorrespondent of the Times says: The news that the czar is better Is confirmed by the very best informed authority. The Vienna sorrespondent of the same paper, on the con- trary, hears very unfavorable reports. ST.

Oct. 14.—Elections for mem- bers of the Chamber of Deputies were held throughout Belglum today. The voting was under the new compulsory system, which provides severe penalties for nonvoters. The electors were divided into three classes, as follows: One-year residents, over 25 years of age, who were entitled to one vote; married men and widowers, with families, who pay personal taxes of 5 francs to the state, who' had three votes, and priests and others or position and education, who had three votes. The clerical party, under this system, had great voting strength. The sociallsts made a strong fight as the The liberals are divided | and are likely 1o show badly in the places where the cals and soclalists are in | force. The clericals were orderly, except at Alost, in East Flanders, where collisions | occurred between the supporters of Abbe | Daens, Christian socialist, and M. Woeste, | the clerical leader who, ‘a few days ago, was stoned by a mob and forced to flee for his life. The counting of votes is a slow process. Returns from the Brussels district show the liberals and clericals ran closely and reballots will probably be necessary. In Charlerol and Liega, mining and manufac- turing centers, the radicals and socialists are also ahead, having defeated many liberal candidates, including Frere Johan, the mod- erate liberal leader. M. De Bruyan, minis- ter of public works and agriculture, has been re-clected in Fermonfe. 12 m., 15th.—The Catholic candidates have been re-elected in all the Klemish towns with large majorities. As far s as- certained at this hour, it appears the first trial of the new system has resulted in a severe check for the moderate liberals to the benefit of the clericals and socialists, The clericals will remain the government party, having opposed to them a divided minority of liberals and soclalists. E MOBS, nes Peking. 15.—A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says that Germany's re- fusal to interfere in the Chinese-Japanese troubles does not affect the question of the protection to Europeans in China, in which she. will fully co-operate.

Several prominent citizens of Blair were seated upon the stage, and the | speakers were introduced by Mr. Jacob Beck. When the judge walked out upon the stage he was greeted with hearty applause and spoke over an hour, much to the delight of hls hearers. Fully one-half of the audience was composed of republicans and, democrats, who were well pleased with the telling re. marks of the speaker. He handled the “ca- lamity crusaders” without gloves and ex- ploded (he theory that his election would in- jure the credit of the state. He compared the objects of the rebate clippers to a scare crow erected to keep birds out of a truck patch. The “calamity crusaders” had erected a pole in front of the state house and stuffed an image with straw and labeled it “‘business interests.” The present occupants of the state house had been farming that truck s long that they did not want the pesky popu- lists 10 interfere with their private snap. ie proposed, If elected, to conduct the business of the state honestly in the interest of the people, and from the way the crowd cheered they were in full sympathy with hls candi- dacy. Mr. Beck then introduced Mr. Deaver, who made some telling points in favor of honest administration of public affairs. His speech was well recelved, and, after handling state questions for half an hour, devoted considerable time to the labor question.

The accident will in all probability result in at least one fatality, while a score of pas- sengers on the Louisville & Nashville re- celved severe injuries. The Loulsville & Nashville “across the lake” excursion train, consisting of elght coaches well loaded with pleasure seekers, a large proportion of them being women and children, pulled out on time. As the train approached the crossing dt the Northeastern tracks Engineer Hanley brought his train to a stop and whistled, as the law requires. He then gave the signal to go ahead and proceeded across the tracks of the Northeastern. The East Louisiana train, carrying excursionists to polnts in South Tammany parish, was booming along its tracks when it crashed into the sixth coach of the Louisville & Nashivlle train The collision threw a crowded coach com- pletely into the ditch, while the attacking engine was derailpd and buried its nose veral feet in the mud. CREATED A PANIC. Passengers on the Bast Louisiana train were uninjured, except for the shock of the | ot 80 with the coast excu however. hefore the engine struck the coach several of the passengers saw it coming and a penic ensued. There was a wild rush to escape from the threatened coach, but before one of the passengers could reach either platform the approaching en- gine had struck and the coach, with its living freight, was hurled from the tracks into the ditc Women and children shrieled 1n their terror, while men fought their way blindly for some escape from the coach, Seats were torn up and hurled in every direction by the force of collision, and after the first wild panic had subsided there were heard piteous moans from differ- ent quarters of the wreck. Within a short time_the wounded had been taken from the coach and made as comfortable as circum- stances would permit. The greatest indigna- tion and anger prevailed among the wit- nesses of the collision agafust Engineer Simpson, who had ruthlessly disregarded the law requiring him to stop and had caused the frightful aceident SIMPSON MAKES HIS ESCAPE. Inquiry developed the fact that Simpson had escaped to the swamp. A section fore- man on his handcar brought the news of the collision to the clty, and the Northeas ern officials dispatched a special train to co vey the injured to the city. List of the injured: Robert Carey, sugar broker, and head cut. R. H. Holmes, left leg and arm broken. A. C. Whllow, left knee and hip hurt.

NUMEROUS ~ RECOMMENDATIONS ~ MADE Estimate for the Next Fiscal Year Placed at Nearly Two Milllons and Many Improvements Are Sald to Bo Necessary, WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—The annual re- port of Commodore E. O. Matthews to the secretary of the navy upon naval yards and docks, estimates the funds required for the next fiscal year at $1,861,205, which is a large reduction of the estimates submitted by the commandants of the yards. The heaviest cut in these estimates is in the item of improvements, which is reduced from $6,221,712 to $1,044,803. The item for general maintenance is cut $157,000, and that for repairs $300,000. The leading feature of the report s the suggestion by the chief of the urgent need for at least four new dry docks, to be located at League Island, Pa., Boston, Norfolk and Mare Island, Cal. The principal Improve- ments recommended at the different yards are as follows: At Boston—Rebuilding wharf No. 4. A modern derrick is recom- mended, but no estimate is given. New York—New pumping plant for the granite dock, a new workshop for construction and repair, an iron shipwright's nead and dredg- ing wall about channel and quay walls for Whitney basin and the cob dock. League Island—Some dredging, extension of the quay walls and an artesian well. A new dry dock was also suggested, but mot estimated for. Washington—Extension of the sea wall, rail- road tracks and electric plant, new roof for the foundry and conversion of the old museum into officers’ quarters and a new roundhouse. Norfolk—Repairs to the stone dock, a store shed and repair shop, a lighter and derrick, extension of walls and replace- ment of decayed wooden docks. A new new dry dock here is also suggested. Mare Island—A strong quay wall, grading and pav- ing, widening entrance of stone dock, new caisson, steam capstans, new railroad scales, improvement of coppersmith’s shop. A new dock is also strongly urged here, as there will be no dock nearer than Port Orchard (where there are facilities for repairs) large enough to take the new battleships of our navy. Port Royal, 8. C.—Roadways, grading, drainage, hydranfs, clsterns, fences and a workshop. ~ More land is also needed. Key West, Fla—More land is needed and an iron coal wharf. Algiers, La.—Commencing work in_preparation for a new dock. Puget Sound, Wash,—Dredging, quarters for men and officers; eventually shops and wharves will be needed, but no estimate is given. In. describing the work done during the past year, Commodore Matthews says that it has only been by the closest and in most cases unwise economy that the ap- propriation for the maintainance of these things have been made to hold out. The whart at Port Royal Is reported to be nearly complete. Strains have caused the lower cross attars to curve in, but the eon- tractor is about to remedy this. The Puget Sound dock is progressing rapidly and will probably be completed much ahead of time, SOME DEPARTIENT BUSINESY. - Land (fMce Declslon Renderod—thanges Fourth Class Postofees.

Oscar Morton, a Wealthy Murderer, 'ays Quickly for His Bloody Work. LEXINGTON, Ky, Oct. 14.—Another lynching has been added to the unusually large fall series of Blue Grass lynching bees. Yesterday, at the close of the Beattyville fair, Oscar Morton, a prominent ecitizen of Morton, in Powell county, went on the war- path. Two weeks ago Morton Killed a man at Stanton and was out on a $6,000 bond. He arrived at the falr yesterday and im- mediately proceeded to get drunk. When thoroughly intoxicated he started to hunt fc Sherift Simms, who (s his deadly enemy, a teud of long standing having existed between* the two. Simms and Morton met near the entrance to the falr grounds, and, after a few words, both of them drew guns. A quick exchange of shots followed, Morton using two guns. His first shot broke the sheriff's right arm at the elbow. John Hogg, a friend of Simms, whipped out his gun and joined in the battle, When the smoke had cleared away it found that Sherift Simms was dead, having a shot through his breast, one in his abdomen and another through his arm Morton was shot through the neck, while Hogg was unhurt. Morton was hurried to the county Jail and placed under guard. The people hecame in- furlated and a big meeting was at once held on the public square. Colonel John Drum mond mounted a barrel and made a speech He said the murderer must be hanged, but that the work must be done quietly and with perfect order. Morton had killed two men in less than two weeks time and he must die by the rope. A mob was quickly formed and marched to the jail, The jailer was overpowered and the keys to Morton's cell obtained. He was found crouching on the floor, and, after a bitter struggle, was seized and dragged out Seelng his game was up, Morton made the best of the thing and told the mob he did not care what they did with him, pro vided they did their work quickly After a short parley, he was taken little bridge some distance from town the rops was placed around his neck. The leaders drew their guns and told him to jump or else he would be riddled with bu lets. Turning around, the doomed man cursed his captors, and, uttering wild im precations, leaped into s The jump broke his neck. After dangling in the air for some minutes his body became stiff and a volley of bullets was fired into it. The mob then dispersed, leaving the body dan gling from the bridge, ; At noon today it was still there. None of the mob made any attempt to conceal their \dentity, and the hanging was conducted with as much formality as if it had been a legal affair. The murderer was a wealthy man and lived at Stanton.

These two intcrests are not for honest government. It Is they who breed anare chists, they who, in combining against the people to corrupt legislatures and elect dis= honest men to office, prey upon the people, and, in the results they accomplish, visit upon state and nation all the evils of anarch= ism. It is not an uncommon thing for these bankers to keep in their offices petitions or addresses which they ask those who come to horrow their money, or to get extensions, to sign; they have them in their banks now; in other words, they insist that the unfors tunate customers that they have In thely shall put up their citizenship as cols lateral!

Who stood behind the corruption in the penitentiary ring? Who defends all the public plunderers and thieves? The raflroad ring. They are co-partners in corrupting the public service, And banks trot in their class. They did not dare to-have Mosher open his mouth! He knew too much! Mosher, liable, as indicted, to senteiice for an hundred years, got off with five!

The true and lofty citizenship of this commonwealth will not tolerate (he rottenness in our pubic service that these banks and rallroads stand for any longer, The people are slow to anger and to move. When public offairs get so rotten that they stink then the people clean their house. Nebraska, under rallroad and bankers' rul Is 80 rotten that it stinks. It s time to move! The banks and railroads raise the cry to deceive us that it would hurt the credit of the state to elect a pupulist. The credit of the state! The credit of a million people!
