The Republicans today were doing the right thing iu standing by Governor Bailey who had been malinged and abused by a prejudiced press that has persistently pursued him for years. At the close of Mr. Nold's talk C. C. K.

At the hour of two o'clock one of the largest and most unanimous county conventions in the history of the Republican party of Nemaha county met ut the court house in Seneca, Tuesday. All the precincts were represented, and not nn anti-Jlailey man was in the convention. It was a generous and hearty welcome to a citizen whom the people of this county have delighted to honor, and who appreciates what has been done for him by them.

The committee on permanent organization recommended that the temporary organization be made permanent. K.

M. chairman oT the committee on submitted the foilo.ving, which was unanimously endorsed Iiy tiie convention: Bo it resolved by the Republicans of Nemaha county, in convention assembled, That we heartily endorse the administration of President and hereby instruct the delegates this day selected to attend tho state and congressional conventions to vole for only such men as delegates to the national convention who are known to be in favor of the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt to succeed himself. And be it Resolved, That this convention, representing the overwhelming majority of tho Republicans of Nemaha county, heartily endorse the administration of our honored fellow citizen. Hon, Willis I. Bailey.

And we look with disfavor upon and deplore the unfair, un-Iiepublican and unwarranted light that is being made against him for a renomination. It is a source of pride to the Republicans of this county that in the face of the hitter light that is being waged against Governor Bailey, that almost amounts to a persecution, that no charge of oilieial or personal dishonesty is made against him or his administration of the affairs of the state that are under his immediate control. This is no surprise to his neighbors and friends who have known him for twenty-live years, and we ho know him best declare to the Republicans of this state that Governor Bailey in bis private life, as a citizen unci a map, and in his public life as a loyal Republican, is the peer of any citizen of the commonwealth, and we earnestly DIRECTORS E.

Iu order to give the news of the neighborhood which is of vital importance to the community and to many who live abroad, a newspaper man is often confronted with obligations which he would only too willingly shift if any other course were possible. It, is not our intention or desire to meddle in family troubles, and in giving an account of the tragic circumstance which we are about torelate it is with a desire only to state the plain facts as best we have been able to glean them, with as much charity as we know how and with malice toward none. Late last Saturday evening the home of U. G. Travis four miles south of Golf's became the scene of terror which came near ending the life of Mr.

Travis and spread consternation throughout tho entire community. It seems that Mr. Travis, who has always been regarded as a model man and ideal neighbor, has, within th.3 lust few weeks been seized with a mania for mistreating my duty eouseicn! ion and tried to il'i and I that down in the hearts of the great of the common people In this stale, removed from the fa 'iioi'al disputes tilat are too prevalent that the great majority of the people in the years to come will say that lie tried to do his best he tried to be honest. I promise you further, gentlemen, that. 1 would rather be a defeated govern.

than an inaicied Lr. S. senator I tha ik my friend Ilayden for his kind words. This is the opening gun of the (aiming cauipa gn Soon the battle ill be on and the forces arrayed again: each other. 1 believe that under the dauntless and splendid leadership of Theodore, Roos who represents all that is best in our American we i iJ march on to a great and sienal vietoi-y.

(Applause.) I believe that he will be renominated, and again ek-oteii with the greatest majority carried the, state by sj.i'HiO Republican majority. There lias never been an hour in my life when the welfare of the Republican party has not been greater than my personal ambition. I want to pledge oil men who give me your eoniidence and support, that whatever the result of the convention I will be, found with the banner ofithe Republican party, ourr; ieg it to the front, and doing as much as in my power for its success if I am defeated as if I am elected. Now again thanking you, gentlemen, for the splendid endorsement that you gave me in the primary last Saturday it went out over the state in contradiction of the report as it went out of the county central committee. Now again as I leave you, I expect this is the last time I will appear asking for your suppurt individually, I "jognizra that this is the rounding out of my political career.

This last expression of your esteem will be' carried with me down to the very last days of my life. At the close of my official career I expect to come back to Nemaha nnd so eond net myself as to reward you men mid Cue Republicans of this county and of the, state, for the honor they have bestowed on me, and cause you never to regret the confidence you have reposed in me. I thank you." Upon motion of Ira F. Collins, a committee of live were appointed to confer with W. J.

The fury of these un-natralu attacks seems to have been spent upon his wife. Mrs.

Travis, At the sight of the young man, our informant says. Mr. Travis started up iu a rage and made for him, when lite lady attempted to interfere. She was thrust aside by Mr. Travis, who further tried to attack Grossinklaus.

The young man says that he warned him of his danger if he proceeded further and upon being crowded ho drew his revolver and shot, tho ball striking just below the right shoulder and ranging downward. In the excitement which followed the second shot, was fired, but whether intentional or not it did not take effect. Tho young man at once gave what necessary aid he could to the wounded man. Dr. L.

A. Oonvin and Dr. Gawley were summoned and the ball was taken out at the back just below the shoulder. It was at first thought that the wound was dangerous and would likely prove fatal, but Mr, Travis has rallied wonderfully and seems to be in a fair way for recovery. Mr.

Grossinklaus went to Seneca Sunday and gave, himself up to Sheriff Campbell, and has since been confined in jail though no charge has been filed against him. The affair is indeed lamentable one and it is hoped that no serious results Will Otllminnte thprrfrnm "baby" brother who had been an orphan since four years of age and who was susceptible to the affections of a sister who had been to him as a mother. This dislike of young Grossinklaus became so intensified that he was led in the heat of passion to mistreat his wife and even threaten the JiCe of the young man. On the day mentioned above, and during the night previous, as the story goes, Mr. Travis had been suffering from an unusually violent attack of his mania for inflicting punishment on some one and had violently thrust his wife from the house.

In the excitement which ensued the young man, who was then at the home of Geo. Wesley near by, saw one of tho girls of tho family escape from the house through a window and Mrs. Travis fleeing from home toward tho neighbor's. Perceiving that the family was in danger, and prompted, so ho says, buly by a desire to render a brother's aid to a sister in distress; started for the house. Upon his arrival, he found Mr.
