of the.race question will be introduced by southerp senators and representatives. It s not &t all Nkely that any of these bills Wil b& passed, but they will furnish the text for an expresdfon of sintiment in the . 8outh with reference to the negro. Among the most striking propositions relating to the negro comes from Senator Carmack of Tennessee, who wants to repeal the fif- toenth amendment of the constituiion which extends to the negro the right of suffrage. The senator says he will lntzoduce a mea ure that will ambody his ideas along that line. Mr Carmack introduces & great many bills in each congress, few of which are taken serfously, and no one expects con- &ress to pay much attention to his repeal measure, but it will enable him to address the senate fully and freely upon the race question and in this way it may lead to interesting debates. There will aleo be bil's providing for government assistance for transporting the negroes to the Philippines nd other island possessions of the United States. ,This plan would not be as accepta- bie to the south as their disfranchicement, a8 the negroes are needed to work on south- ern plantations, and their is no other labor to take thelr place. Tt is known that Sen- ator Morgan of Alabama has long be'teved that conditions in the Philippines might be made #5 attractive to the colored people that they would seek homes in those fs- lands. But the idea of an exodus to the Philippines has never taken hold of the nogro. The forty acres they could secure from the public domain on which to rafse crops with which they are famillar in the #outh have not tempted them In any impor- tant numbers. The political freedom in Liberia has never been influential enough to cause the col- ored people to leave this country. Some of the democrats of the south do not hesitate to declare that something must be done to maintain white supremacy In that sec- tion. THEY sdy that with the education of the colored people and the aggressivencss of many 6f the colored leaders, they fear the time when the aofive operation of the franchise of the negro may change conditions in the south. While many of | the sountherners condemn lynching, they express uncertaliity as to the conditions that may exist if the colored vote, is to be @n active clement in the election of state offfelals In the future, There are south- ernérs who talk of the possibilities of race wars of a kind never before known. The alarming Increase in the number of suieides In the District of Columbia since tha beginning of the present year has al tracted the attention of the police officia and medical experts. Within the past elant and & half months there have been forty- nine dea by sulcide, as against twenty- six for the full year of 1801. The- highest number of sulcides in the past ten years ‘WRS In 1897, when forty-seven cases were reported. -The police statistics show th: the highest number of cases this year wi report for April, when ten persons took their llves.

CUT OUT HALF HIS JAWBONE rgeons Perform Remarkable Ope tion on Tecumseh Man After X-Ray Examination. TECUMSEH, Neb., Sept. 2.—(Special)— A remarkable surgical operation was per- formed on a Tecumseh citizen and as a result Michael Shaughnessy is mihus a jawbone. Mr. Shaughnessy's jawbone had been diseased for some time, and the sur- geons decided that it was necessary to re- move It. The work was done at St. Eliza- beth's hospital, Lincoln, under direction of Dr. R. E. Giffen, assisted by Dr. T. E. Fairall of this city, a half dozen other surgeons, and witnessed by some ffteen medical men and dentists of the capital eity. Under the X-ray it was found that a portion of the jawbone had been eaten away by disease. It was decided to remove it from the chin and also from the superior maxillary, or upper jawbone. Thé face was lald open, the bone sawed off at the centor of the chin, and the other sectian disjointed and removed from the upper bone. The unjolnting process was very sovere. Mr. Shaughnessy was left with- out ny jawbone whatever o one side of his face. The wound was closed and the last reports from the patient are that he fa dolng as well as a man could be ex- pected to after undergolng such a trying ordeal.

NELIGH, Neb, Sept. 2.—(Special.)~Four boys .from Oakdale, Elmer Holmes, Luke Alexander, Oscar Price and Clem Milligan, are in here charged with placing ob- structions, consisting of bolts and splkes, on the Northwetsernt railroad track! The presumption being that they intended to wreck a train. They were discovered by Sectlon Foreman Davis of this. place, but held him up at the point of a gun and tem- porarily eecaped. During the day. the mate ter was placed In the hands of N. D. Jack- son, attorney for the company; warrants were issued for their arrest and they were. taken into custody by the sheriff. The en- tire occurrence took place Saturday, but It was a late hour before it became known, The boys are pronounced a tough lot. Prohibitionists’ Platform, ASHLAND, Neb., Sept. 20.—(Specfal.)—To the Editor of The Bee: Numerous refer- ences in newspapers indicate that there is a misunderstanding as to the substance of the Nebraska Prohibition platform adopted at Lincoln on August 10, last. It has been n August, with eight cases. These statistics | CUS#!n8 the candidates that make up the | reterred to as including planks calling for it would geem oconfirm the generally ac- above -tickets and the prevailing political election of president and United States sen- cepted theory that more people commit | conditions nothing could be more indicative | ators by direct vote, public ownership, ete. sulcide during the spring and summer months that at any other time of the y¢ of results that a comparison of the vote in the last judicial election and the state This Impression was evidently caused by publication of the report df the committee Bulclde ‘has become so prominent that at | ¢lection held a year ago. 1In no state infon resolutions and not by the platform ap the police stations the very closest watch 18 kept on all prisoners and on the slight- est symptom of sickness the affected pri oner is carried to the nearest hospital. Dr. Scheffer, coroner's physician, is ble to .-1:,’ reason, for the rematkable Increase in the # rate. Sald he: n account- for It s generally admitted that in t jn fly time man is still during the _ these condi- “that ‘every man. who commits sul- perforce insane, but I know that ‘not the case, for I have seen too ny ins where the suicide was. the dferct t of the loss of hope. Fre. quently the inborn love of life to which a person clings with greatest tenacity through the heaviest troubles is overbalanced by some trifle, which is enough to snuff out the vital spark. 1 have in mind a case where a beautiful and thlented young woman ended her life because a hot curl- ing iron had burned a lock from her fore- head. Bulcldes occur where they are least expected, and, as I have sald, no one can #ive any good reason for an increase in the sulcide mania." President is Golng Home. The White House been put in readi- ness for Prestdent Roosevelt and his family, ‘who will return to Washington from Oyster Bay at the end of this wdek. No other president in many yeers has been absent from Washington so long as has Mr. Roose- velt. With the exception of a few days at the White House in June he has not been here since about April 1. At that time be left for his trip through the west and was away several weeks, and only a short time after his' return to Washington he agaln lett for Oyster Bay and has been there ever since. It Is understeod that when he re- turns he will at onos begin work on his message to congress and that he will de- vote & large part of his time to this work, @s according to present plans, the extra session will open about November 9. It is £ald that the most Important subjects to be discussed by Mr. Roosevelt in his message will Be ‘the ‘national fiuances and foreign relations, The chief purpose for which con. gress will be called together is the enact. ment ofva flnancial bill' which statesm and ‘agres in démanded by condi- tions prevailing throughout the country. e —— TWO TIPS And Both Winners. A man gets a friendly tip now and then that's worth while. A Nashville man says: “For many years I was a perfect slave to coffee, drinking It eyery day, and all the time I suffered with' stomach trouble and such terrific - 1 attributed my troubles to oapises than coffee and continued to my system with this drug. Finally the union probably has there been such an upheaval in things political as in Ne- braska during the period of time interven- ing between the two elections. Four years ago the fusion candidates for judiclal honors were elected in elght out of the fifteen districts of the state and in the thousand mark. At the election held last year, based on the vote of Becretary -Mb;' %mmmm , with the single exception of the Sixth, which ‘was ‘carried by the fusionists, nd:::: district the, fusion majority o 1 four years ago was cut down to #68.. In four Aistricts of the state the np‘blh‘r jor- ity was cut down. : In the Second district the party lost 8 votes, 1,079 votes, in the Thirteenth It loat' 8 votes and In 'the ‘Wourteenth district it lost 73 votes, This slight loss, however, has not encouraged the fusion party to any great extent, for in one of them, the Second dlstrict, they fajled to find anyone who would consent to be - a candidate agalnst Judge Jessen, the republican nomi- nee, and he was endorsed. With such & condition to face and over- come it 1s no wonder that the fusion lead- ers are grasping at the fralest kind of sup- port to give the members of that party some hope and encouragement—the nonpar- tisan judiclary idea. An idea as forelgn to the minds of the leaders of that party as pW. D. Roberts of a thing ceuld be except in the most ur- gent case, like the present. With such a ocondition the fusion leaders could afford to endorse every republicun judicial district candidate and they would have everything to.gain and nothing to lose if by so dolng then the least possible number of votes would be deflected to Judge Sul- livan, candidate for the supreme bench. And this is the reason for the grand- stand play of the fusion party. It is the absolute certainty of republican success in the district fights, as shown by & com- parison of votes at the two previous elec- ' in the Fourth it Jost | finally adopted: Will you, thérefore, kindly give space tp the publication of the plat- form as adopted for the Informmtion of the general public?

NEBRASKA PEER OF SISTER STATES © Member Says Incalen Good Wil Flow from Congresses on Irrigation Such aw nt Ogden. Hon. James Wilson, secretary of agricul- ture, s In the city, a guest at the Millard, having just returned from the National Irrigation congress at Ogden, Utah. “The Irrigation eongress was a magnifi- cent gathering of representative men of the west,” sald Secretary Wilson. “Delegates were present from all over the country, and the good that will come from the con- ferences there will be incalculable. Irriga- tion is becoming a living question, and the Mormons of Utah have long years ago eolved Its great utility for the reglons west of the mountains. The immense amount of ‘water held In storage in the great moun- tain ranges is practically everlasting, not alone from the melting snow, but from the innumerably springs ‘secping from every canyon and mountain eide. “1 have often been asked why I did not visit Europe to study its resources as ap- plicable to America. My invariable repiy has been that our own country ‘possesses resources that surpass anything that Bu- rope can produce and its study Is of far more infinke importance than any sugges- tions we can obtain from there. The more 1 ses of our country the more I am im- pressed with its exhaustiess resources and capabilities, and this thought has been more vividly impressed upon me since I was at Ogden, especially when coming in con- tact with these bralny and intensely prac- tical men of the west. Conservation of Water. ““The conservation of water in the plains reglons for irrigation purpcs:s will also be a problem soon solved. The friends of irrigation are in dead earnest and it Is the purpose of the government to help them in every pbssible way. The purpose of my visit to the convention was to see what the government could do to stimulate the ques. tion of irrigation, and every ald and en- couragement will be accorded. - “L spent Saturday at North Platte, just to look around. Nebraska has opportuni- ties that should not be neglected. One im- portant thing I should like to impress upon your people is the dairy industry in con- wection with your limitless sugar beet facil- ities. The sugar beet pulp after it has come from your sugar beet factories wiil make magnificent forage for dalry cattle. The Platte valley is the natural sugar beet garden of the west. The soll s particu- larly adapted to sugar beet culture and with its growth should the dairy industry keep pace. So it is with your imnense flelds of alfalfa, hay and grain. Nebraska has a grand future before it that is -not sur- passed by any other western state. I re- gret that my time did not permit me to visit the sugar beet factorles at Grand Island, Norfolk and'Ames. I understand that dt Ames partieularly they are com- bining the matter of cattle feeding and dairy products with the sugar beet produc- tion and that they are getting down to the tter by scientific experiment, which is proving very successtul.

Thy Department of Agriculturg is, looking. after the experi-: ment, The tract hgs been fenced and no pains or expense will be apared to give the test every opportunity of utility. The young trees were raised from seed on the department’'s experimental farm on the Ar- lington estate near Washington, REighty thousand of these scedlings were sent out half a million next yeir. These tres-plant-, ing experiments are not to be confined alane to the Nebraska sapd hills, but wheréver they may be nesdel. The Lest minds of the country have come 1o the realization of tha fact that to preserve and conserve tha molsturé necessary for successful agricul- ture we must preserve and renew our for- ests and care for those that we have. The forest reserves are under the control of the Interior department, but you tgn be assured that these reserves will not be reduced; rather, will they be Increased. The Ohlo valley s an llustration of the ‘wanton destruction of forests in the fre- quently recurring and destructive floods. The timber denuded from the mountains, of the great Kanawaha district in Virginla, which was the great watershed of the Ohio valley, caused the rains to rush down in torrents and away to the rive causing uncontrollable floods at times and unnavig- able rivers at other times. The trees that formerly held the water in the mountains, permitting it to gradually percolate through the soll and thereby keeping the rivers at a relatively steady depth, have been out away, and the rivers dependent upon these steady eources of water supply have be- come but creeks, unnavi le for a great part of the year. Will Go te Cotton Belt. “1 go from here to Fort Worth, Tex., to to look Into the cotton industry there and to investigate the ravages caused by the Mexican cotton boll weevil that threatens the destruction of the cofton crops of that and adjacent states unless a remedy is speedily applied. A vast amount of cot- ton has already been ruined by the cotton boll weevil, and we shall examine into the matter closely to see what remedy Is best to apply. My own impression Is that the affected flelds should be plowed up and the cotton stubble burned and then tem of thorough cultivation be resorted to. The trouble is much aggravated by leaving the cotton stalks stand for late ploking which permits the pest to propagate rap- idly and unrestrainedly. The matier s one of great importance to that section and the government will lend every possible ald toward the extermination of the pest, “From Texas I shall go into the rice-pro- ducing reglons of southern Loulsiana, in the Lake Charles district. Rice growing becoming a very important industry the and a successful one, too. The ilce I equal in quality to the best rice produced la the Or\;anl and we are experimenting with seed produced in the Oriental countries and find that it does splendidly. A considerable number of Nebraskans and Iowans are in that section and are succeeding admirably in rice culture. It is as easily grown s corn and is much more remunera ive to the grower. The government Is extremely anxlous to wssist the rice growers as it s every other specles of productive industry and is alding in every way It can. “Ours is & great agricultural continent and the United States particularly is cap- able of producing a greater variety of food products than any eother couniry of the world, and it is the purpose of the Agri- culture department to stimulate, encourage and help the complete development of these great and varled products in every way that it can.’ BEATRICE, Neb..

FATALLY BURNED IN HIS BED Helpless Man Sets Himself on Fire DAKOTA CITY, Neb., Sept. 2.—(Special.) —After a night of excruciating pain, Major Rix of this place died this morning at his home here from the shock occasioned from burns he recelved last evening. Mr. Rix for a couple of years past has been suf- fering from cerebral tumor, a disease rarely known to the medical fraternity. About two months ago he went totally blind and h: gradually became non compos mentis. Hi wife has been his constant attendant, wait- #0g on him as if he were a child. He w an Incessant smoker and last evening a relative gent him a few cigars. Mrs. Rix gave him one In bed, to which he has been confined for several weeks. As she wished to g0 across the road on an errand she took the cigar from him, but it Is pre- sumed that In so doing some ashes and fire fell among the bedclothes unnoticed, for soon after her departuse their G-year-old daughter and a younger child came run- ning out of the house screaming that thelr papa was on fire.

M.—~At the First regl- ment armory tonight a large meoting under the auspices of the United Irish socleties of Chicago adopted resolutions declaring that no settlement of the Irish question short of national independence would satisty the aspirations of the Irish people. The ocea- sion for the gathering was the one hun- dredth anniversary of the execution of Rob- ert Emmet and the resolutions werc em- phatic that no Ireland will satisfy men of Irish bloed but the Ireland for which Em- met died, Ireland a nation free and inde- pendent, making her own laws, floating her own flag, shaping her own fortunes, acknowledging alleglance to no power out- side the limits with which nature has bounded the island. The resolution adopted wal While we recognize in the land bill which has recently become law a substantial con- ocession to ‘the jupt demands of the Irish people, we do not regard it as either a ret tlement or a_compromise of the Irish que: tlon. We urge the leaders of the Un Irish league to take up with vigor and in- creased activity the movement to secure legislative independence, which we hold to be of greater Importance than the settle- ment of the land question The speakers at the meeting included General Nelson A. Miles, Rabbl Hirsch, Judge Marcus Kavanagh and Hon. John F. Finerty. Celebration in Ohlo. COLUMBUS, O.

The following resolutions were adopted: We, the Irish-American citizens of Ohio, affirm our undying alleglance to the prin: ciples for which Robert Emmet fought and died. Our ambition is that of Emmet, to see ‘a republic on Irish soil. We believe with the American colonists that whenever a government falls to secure for its people those fnalienable rights of life, liberty and pursult of happiness, that that govern- ment is a fallure and it is not only the privilege but duty of the people to resort to revolutionary measures to secure those rights for themselves and their posterity. We, as American citizens, are unalterably opposed 1o any allegiance, open or secret, written or verbal, between the United Btates and Great Britain We congratulate the Irish race on the fact that through 800 years of unparal- leled persecutions they have maintained the spirit of their nationality, and we have unbounded faith that this spirit will be Norton broke the 1ids off of several of the in_ firking, With his_companions, Xoung firkina and smeared butter all over the car. #0 the information reads which is filed in connoction with the charge.
