NEBRASKA FAVORS PRESIDEI1T TAFT La hollette Insurgents Hooted Down Democrats Dodge Indorsement.
Lincoln, Neb.. July 2ft. Nebraska Republicans, in convention Tuesday gave President Taft and his administration a strong indorsement and blocked all efforts of a small band of Insurgent delegates to arous , sentiment for Senator Robert M. La Toilette of WlBConslii as a presidential candidate. The Insurgents lacked a leader and were outgeneraled by Victor Rosewalter and his delegation from Omaha. An attempt to have the convention instruct the resolutions committee to refrain from indorsing any Individual candidate met with summary treatment. I. D. Evans of Adams county took the floor for this purpose but be washow led down by other delegates and gaveled out of order by Chairman Jeffrls before he could read his resolution. Out of the total of 855 votes In the convention it was said by regular leaders that the insurgents could not muster a following of more than 150 delegates. Resolution as Adopted. The platform resolution as adopted was as follows: Rejoicing In the glorious record of the Republican party and reaffirming our devotion to Republican principles, we congratulate the country on Its continued peace, progress and prosperity, under the wise guidance of our Republican president. The arbitration treaties whose negotiation he has inspired, mark a notable step toward world peace, and in only lesser degree his tactfulness In maintaining neutrality and avoiding International complications during the revolution In Mexico. He is proving his devotion to the right policy of conservation of our nat
ural resources. He is prosecuting the illegal trusts and combines without fear or favor. He is instltutiong reform In the administration of the govern
ment which make for economy and efficiency. We have every confidence In the unselfish patriotism and consct-
enclous devotion to public duty of William Howard Taft, and we heartily in
dorse his statesmanlike administration. Under our ' Republican governor, Chester II. Aldrich, and his Republican associates in the statehouse, the affairs of the state are being administered with sole regard to the public interest and the laws fearlessly and impartially enforced. The state institutions are being reorganised and conducted on a more business-like basis, but with every due consideration for the wards of the state. ' The railroad and public service cor)Kratlons are being restrained from extortion and unjust discrimination. The rights of the people are being safeguarded in every direction to make the Nebraska motto, "Equality Before Law," a living reality.

NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS. ' Fremont, Neb., July 26. The Nebraska Democratic state convention Tuesday sidestepped indorsement of any presidential candidates and harmony was the final result of the day's lively proceedings. A platform denouncing Republican doctrines and administering and giv
ing the Democrats credit for the success of Taft's reciprocity measure was
adopted.
. Chairman Byrnes of the state Democratic committee called the conven
tion to order. F. E. Harrington of
O'Neill was introduced as temporary chairman and tats mention of the
names of Mr. Bryan and Champ Clark brought cheers no greater than those which greeted the name of Senator
Hitchcock.
The governor of Ohio was casually
referred to by the speaker and brought
out a hearty response.

of the missing 19-year-old Louise

As Deposed President Tries
to Land at Friendly Port Warships Act. Washington, July 26. Ex-President
Castro, in the opinion of a diplomatic
officer who has given some study to
the problem of locating the Venezue
lan, is now a sort of "Flying Dutchman" making a desperate effort to
reach a friendly port in his native country, and just as he nears his goal.
being turned back, not by storms, but
by watchful guardians of the Venezuelan coast or warships of other na
tions which seek to prevent a renewal of his activities in his own country.
According to this official, the basis
for stories that Castro vbad landed in western Venezuela was the appearance
off the little Dutch island of Aruba of
the pacht Coronet, flying the Ameri
can flag. She sent a boat ashore under
pretense of buying supplies, but so
limited were the purchases that it was
evident the ship stood in no great
need of food. The inhabitants report
ed the facts to the Dutch governor,
but the vessel disappeared.
Vessel Again Vanishes. The Coronet next appeared well up
in the Gulf of Maricaibo, at a point well suited for landing a party. The governor of the province started an investigation, but the vessel disap peared. However, it was reported that ample opportunity had been had
for Castra, if aboard, to have commun
icated with some of his lieutenants ashore, or, if ashore himself, to have gotten word to the ship.
Now a careful search has been made
of the entire Coadjira peninsula, the
Venezuelans have satisfied themselv-
ese that aCstro is not there, and the
belief prevails that he is still afloat somewhere.
FIND A BARTENDER
OF UNSOUND MIND
Niagara Falls, N. Y.. July 26. "Bobby" 1-each, of Niagara Falls, made a trip over Horshoe Falls in a
steel cask Tuesday afternoon and lives
to tell the tale of an experionce more
thrilling than any of his previous feats.
which include several trips through the Whirlpool Rapids, a number of ba-
loon ascensions, a ride over Senaca
Falls in a barrel and a leap off the
upper steel arch bridge over the Niagara river with a parachute.
Ieach had been forbidden by the
police to start either from this city or the .Canadian city and was forced to drop into the river at LaSalle, four miles up the river on the American side. At 1 o'clock he put out in a motor boat with the barrel tied to the stern. The condition of the water and river was adverse to the trip, but he was determined to risk it. When the launch reached a point a little to the west of Hog island, three miles above the brink. Leach crawled into the cask and the rope was cut.
The barrel floated slowly down the
river about 200 feet from the Canadian
shore, and, at 3:10 o'clock, passed the
plant of the Electrical Devolopment company, a mile above the brink bounding perilously over rocks and waves. Two' and a half minutes later
it passed the great splash to the ba
sin below. It appeared on the surface of the water in the basin in less than
a minute with both ends missing.
It drifted about in the basin for 20
minutes before Frank Bender swam
out with a rope from the Canadian side, made it fast to the barrel and
towed it ashore.
The bulkhead was ripped off and Leach removed. He was bleeding from
a deep gash in the side of his face and it was thought his right leg was broken. Later it was found to be only sprained. He was removed to his home, where he will be confined by
his injuries for several weeks.
I want no more of it,' he said last night. "Once is enough. But they've got nothing on me," he added, probably referring to Mrs. Annie Ed son Taylor, who made the same journey on October 24, 1901. "Like to kill me the way 1 was tossed about before I hit the brink." he continued. Leach had the barrel built especially for the trip. It is made of sheet steel three eighths of an inch thick. It U three feet in diameter and the steel is
seven feet long. Wooden ends make
the cask over 10 feet long.
Wilbur Dean, the bartender who
holds the Illusion that he is vastly
wealthy and frightened the residents of Greensfork and vicinity on Sunday by his queer antics, waa declared in
sane by a lunacy commission on Monday afternoon. He is now confined at the county jail. He is not violent and
it is believed that with careful treatment he will recover his mental faculties.
