[ THE Nebraska MATHEWS INSISTS | HE 1§ SATISFIED Editor-Candidate for U. 8. Marshi Declares that He Will Make Fight to End with Bryan. STEADFAST AGAINST HITCHCOCK (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 26.—(Specail)—Cecil Mathews, editor of the Riverton Re- view, Is satisfied, perfectly so. He was & candi®ate for the appointment of United Btates marshal, and while given plenty of encouragement, so it is said, for the Job, was finally turned down and another man appointed. Mr. Mathews is a democrat who has spent more than a score of years fight- ing the battles of the democratic party. BEver since Willam Jennings Bryan in- Jected himself into the democratic lime- light Mr. Mathews has been his booster and has burned many gallons of the| midnight oil backing the ex-secretary | of state and fighting his battles. With his bright little paper at Riverton he has constantly advocated the many vary- ing paramount issues put out by the great commoner and has gone down to defeat with Mr. Bryan without a mur- mur and has come up smiling and has continued to boost, Again Takes to Trowel. This summer the heavy rains played sad havoc with the bright prospects of Mr. Mathews. His nice little home, which, by his frugal industry he had built in the little town of Riverton, was flooded. The Thompson river, (not the littie glant) backed up and flowed through the town flooding his home, destroying his furniture. His print shop was also flooded and the loss to the fighting editor wae so much that he was forced again to take up the mason's trowel and £0 back to his trade, while his daughter, who has inherited many of the sterling qualities of her ather, has taken charge o the Review and is making it blossom with good things. Under these clrcumstances it would have seemed the “psychological moment” or Mr, Bryan to have rewarded his con- stant booster with the desire of his heart and given him the job of United States marshal and the magnificent salary which would have enabled Editor Mathews to have restored the home, which the floods destroyed, and not have been compelled to go back to the hard but honest toil | of a brick mason. However, Mr. Mathews is not kicking, or ‘at least appears to be satisfied. He| was at the state house this morning and | discussed the political situation and said | that he was perfectly well satisfied with | the appointments for the federal jobs in Nebraska. “When I dlscovered that Tom Allen was to get the job of district at- torney 1-knew that I was out of the running for the marshalship,” sald Mr. Mathews, “I ghall continue to boost for Mr. Bryan and shall take delight, as 1 always have, in putting all the political | the Tfinishing touch Nebraska Beatrice Creamery Compromise 0ld Suit e | BEATRICE, Neb., July 2.—(Special)—| The case of W. J. Townsend of Glenn Falls, Y.. against the Beatrice Cream- ery association, which has been pending in the courts since 158, has been setiled by the creamery assoclation agreeing to pay Townsend $,00. The total amount clalmed to be due is $12000. This 1s to a purchase of| land by the creamery assoclation In 188§, \ A note waa glven to pay off a mnn..\.«\ on the property, and for some years| the assoclation pald the interest on the | note. During the panic years the asso-| clation couldn’t keep up the Interest and | Townsend sued and got a judgment. | For fifteen years his attorneys haye been trying to collect on the judgment, and a few days ago a setilement was agreed upon whereby the assoclation pays Townsend $5,000 cash. Martin Engler, a ploneer of Beatrice, died Saturday at his home in West Be- atrice, aged 76 years, He is survived by his widow and seven children Dr. A. J. Nielson and Miss Mandeline | Smith, both of this city, were married Saturday evening at St. Joseph's Cath- olic parsonage, Father Bohl officiating. | The young couple left in a touring car for a briet wedding trip to Lincoln and | Omaha, and upon their make thelr home in this city The deed conveying the Paddock hotel property to the State Investment company was liberally" plastered with United | States revenue stamps, $0 being the re- quired amount Governor Returns From Cheyenne Trip (From Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 2.—(Special)—-Gov- ernor Morehead retumed this morning from his trip wih hé tOmaha boosters | to the western part of the state, and as | far out as Cheyenne. He is much pleased | with the trip and the ussoolations con- nected with it. On the way back the party stopped at several places and the crops along the way -are looking fine, according to the Nebraska executive. At Cheyenne he was the guest of Gov- ernor Kendrick of Wyoming and en- Joyed a visit with Governor Carlson of Colorado, who was also a guest of the Wyoming executive. “We had a fine time and a most &m- joyable visit,” sald Governor Morehead. The governor would not say whether any political medicine was inixed or not, but while all three executives were demo- crats, he was willing to admit that noth- ing stronger than the present papular democratic beverage, grape juice, wus enjoyed by the trio of state executives.

Nebraska \ No Trace is Found 0f Escaped Convict (Frofl_a t8 Aff Corerspoudent.) LINCOLN, July 2.~(Special)=Up to noon today no trace had been discovered of Sam Story, the ner at the pen itentiary who yesterday climbed the wall of the prison He was not missed until the count was | made at 4 o'clock and as'he wae last soen an hour before, it is probable he had a good start before his absente was discovered | Conaidergble excitement was added to | the first affalr by the circulation of a ! report that the Lincoln compantes of the Natlonal Guard had been called out, but General Hall denled any call had been |made or that w request had been inade for asetstance The guar who was supposed to have chargo of the part of the wall over which Story escaped, would not talk this morning, but simply handed in his resig nation to the warden. Story wis a |ife prisoner, sent up from Cherry county five years ago for the murder of a fellow harvest hand. He was considered trustworthy, having twice refused to escape when an apportunity was offered, but later developments had convineed him, it would seem, that he had no chance to get out legally and so he took the first opportunity to decamp.

Agnainst Hitcheock. “Should Senator Hitchcock get the re- nomination for the senatorship,” said Mr. Mathews, “he will lose the Fifth congressional district by over 2,00 votes. | Should Governor Morehead be a candi-| date he will carry the district by over | 2000 votes. That is the way the demo- | crats of my district feel toward Senator Hitcheock and Governor Morehead.” “It was published that I had been pushed one side and was a candidate for | printing commissioner, sald Riverton, editor-mason, “‘but that is a mistake. 1| was after the marshalship and no other, | 1'am not an office seeker, and when the | marshalship wen against me that settled the proposition.” Mr. Mathews called upon Governor Morebead while at the state house and assured the executive that as between | the Omaha senator and the governor for the senatorship it would not be hard work to discover where the man from ' Riverton would be found.
