All republicans lire resisted to meet ut the county judge's office this evening at N o'clock. During the warmest portion of the bii miner Fcastn there will lie no service at the Presbyterian church Sunday evenings If the eun does not let up shining on us so hard, f here will he a procession to the cemetery wedged in with several of the amusements on the 4th. The la liei aid society of tha M. K. church will meet Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the homa of Mra. McCauley on Granite b.twecn IKh and 10th streets, a good attendance is desired. Saturday evening an advertising freak was seen on the streets distributing n,1v-rf i-u nu-nts of different kinds. He was dressed as an Indian, and although a white man had every appearance of one. Wi' are lul to sec that Airs. Will . . o Iioeck Um recovered sufficiently to allow hf-r nmieuraiira on the street. Though ii very wjak after her long siege of illness K virstL-rdrtV to take a short - - ' mi drive. .V very pleasant tune was had las Saturday night at the residence of Win (Vllacut, Pearl street, the event being a pirty. A 1 urge iiiiinbir of the strikers mid their friend were present. Their singing of several songs could be heard until a Lite hour and w:is enjoyed very much by listeners. The linn of Kurtz & Weckbach brick manufacturers, has been change. to Sehelton, Weckbach fc Co., with Air. A. Kurt, as manager of the yard, the latter firm took charge June 2S. The force of in hands will be doubled from July 3 an. with good weather they will make all the brick of the demands. A large number who were at Crete over Sunday were sadly disappointed at not hearing the great pieacher, Rev. T. )e Witt Talmage, of Brooklyn, who at the last moment, sent a dispatch to the president of the Chntauqua assembly, f-tating that unforseen engagements would prevent his coming. This morning a man b' the name of Kildow was digging in a yard which be longs to Air. John Fitzgerald of Lincoln, and which is rented by a Mr. Armstrong, and when he reached the depth of about six feet a large number of human Iiones were found. Judging from the color of them they were said to be the bones of sonic Indian who hail been buried there. " A petition was circulated this morn ing which asked that Air. Charles Harris lie discharged from the police force. It is learned a large number of names were secured and that the petition will be presented to the authorities. "Without knowing all the particulars of the case and why they wish his discharge, we do not care to say until further information is received. The Clippers, a juyenile base ball club of this city have accepted a chal lenge from a nine in Afton, Iowa, and will leave for that city tomorrow. They make quite a strong team for boj-s of their weight and have a very strong bat tery. If they are victorious, no doubt they will challenge the bou ton ball club of this city for a game. Success to them. A private picnic is being talked of for the 4th. As far as we know, none of the parties who attempted to have a pic nic and failed, are implicated in this. If they were, we shoud predict it a failure. The ground has not yet been selected, but it is supposed the ground known as "Fitz's Forty" will be the scene of the jubilation. It is expected that there will be about twenty or thirty couples present. Yesterday morning while Dr. Cook's horse was hitched to a sigu po.-t in front of Johnson Uros. hardware store, it be came frighted at something and in its efforts to make an escape pulled the post from the ground which fell across its back and became attached in some way to the harness. Had it not be-en for Air. J. C. Eikeubary, who caught the horse as it whs starting, considerable damage would have been done, do doubt, and the horse badly hurt. Air. Richard Streight has been mak ing uoticeable improvements on his pro perty on 7th street, having built an ad dition to his barn. At present he is only keeping his stable open for the accomoda tion of parties who wish to board their horses. When the work which ii now going on is completed he will make & purchase of several fine rigs aud run a livery stable also. "The style in which everylhmg is being built will afford every convenience possible. As he is well versed hat business, we bespeak for him sue sTNa liveryman. X ANOTHER FRACAS. A Serious Quarrel In Which a Man was Stabbed in two Places. THE WOUND PROBABLY FATAL. One Man Arrested and Another one Escaped The Wounded Man In a Critical Condition. Saturday night between 11 and 12 o'clock as two bhop men were wending their way homeward whi's near their home in Hilling's row they were accosted by a couple of fellows who were evidently on the street looking for some one who would pass that way. The two men we speak of were just on their way from work having worked a few hours overtime at the shops. As they nearcd their homes they were accost ed by two men who came suddenly upon them. Several sarcastic remarks were thrown at them before they had even noticed the men and also that they were a d d pair of Boheiu.ans, and it seemed the fellows had it in for them for what reason they had no knowledge of. Some few minutes were spent in quarrel ing before they came to blows. One of the approaching party was the first to strike, and it is repoited that he knocked one of the men down with a sling shot. The other fellow found his opponent to bo more than his equal, and while he was down and being pounded rather severely, the man with the sling-shot who had stunned his man by the strong blow lie dealt, when he saw his companion getting the worst of it, pulled his knife and stabbed the man in two places, cul ling an ugly gash in his back and alo making a severe wound in his arm of about two inches. Fortunately the knife struck his shoulder blade or the wound in his back would have killed him in stantly for, as it was, his lung was in jured so badly tint it makes breathing very difficult. The wounded man gave his name as Chris Alaiti. As the two men who were interfered with in this way ere strangers here and have only been in the city a short time, the men were not rtcognizid, but tluy felt confident, if they could see either of ihem that they would know them. The man who had done the stabbing received injuries about his hands aud arms bad enough to cause blood to run continually until he reached his home. We were not informed how the men managed to reach their home?, but they arrived there some way and this morning Dr. Schildknecht. their attendant, gave the information that the wound was a very serious one and might prove fatal. The cut had allowed air to escape from his lung, which, in order to do that, must be very severe. Yesterday morning the man who was slugged and not so badly hurt but what he was able to walk around, went to the scene of the trouble and found that con siderable blood had been spilt. He tracked the man who had received the bruises and dropped blood along the road to his home where he found a wash dish containing bloody water. He filed information this morning and the man was arrested. It wns coon dis covcred that one of the men had skipped and it is supposed he is at present in Omaha. Every effort is being made to secure the man, and, when caught, he will receive his reward to the full extent of the law. The man who did the knife act and was arrested this morning is a mechanic in the shops by the name of Jas. Agan, and the fellow who did the slugging and skipped, is a striker named John Ilogan. Agan was brought up before Judge Russell this morning, but until Hogan is secured, nothing definite will be given concerning the trial. The authorities are bound to put a stop to this work and will arrest the next per son, no matter who it is, that disturbs the peace. When such people are made to understand this they will probably rest for awhile and give peaceable citizens a chance to come on the streets without being insulted. Base Ball- The following list gives the names of the players and their positions as they will plav on the 4th. A good game is expected. The Lincoln club is the best amateur club of that ciU'. As a new grand stand has been erected which is built large enough to accommodate a large number and will lie made comfor table in every way, those who complain ed of the disadvantage of being com pelled to stand in the sun at previous games, will have r,q cause of complaint now, as the grand stand is veU covered so as to furnish a good shade: PJ.ATTS.MOCTH.

Cedak Ckekk, July 2, 18S8. Editoii Daily Hekai.d: Never having seen any items in your paper, I thought that I would try and let the people know that there was a small place out along the U. & AI. called Cedar Creek. We have two general merchandise stores, a bank, blacksmith shop, butcher shop, drug sttre, two grain dealers, and also one of the best hotels in the county We also have a Harrison and Morton club of over forty members, which was organized last Saturday night (thanks to the speakers from Plattsniouth who were to come out and talk to us) with J. B Thompson as our president, John Mount ford 'treasurer and F. A. Murphy secre tary. This is the stronghold of democracy, but we will roll up a majority for Harrison and Morton on Nov. 0th, even if Draper has a keg of beer on tap when the republican clubs meet. I forgot to mention our lumber yard as one of our industries; it is a branch of Ititchey Bro's. at Plattsniouth and is managed by our worthy postmaster, J II. Tipton. Yours, "Nn" PERSONALS. R. II.

Consul Peters, of Ningpo, says tho only large cotton gins in China are situated in Ningpo. Tho cotton Is separated from tho seed by the us of hand power treadle gins manufactured in Japan. They are worked eighteen hours a day, and la that time turn out 240 pounds of seed cotton, or eighty pounds or lint cotton per gin. These con trivanees, although primitive, are superior to the Iittla treadle gins used by the cotton growers. Steam power is now being intro duced to work the gins. The Chinese gins clean the seed better than the American saw cms. The cotton ginned retains tho entire strength or the Uber, it pulls the cotton from the seed. Cotton is purchased by buyers in the cotton growing sections and shipped to Ningpo to be ginned. When ginned tho cotton is packed in sacks, weighing 1C0 pounds. Tho staple is short, ranging from half to live-eighths of an inch. Cotton In bales is not packed tightly, and a ICO pound halo is as bulky as a bale of American cotton. The price paid for tho cotton in April, 1SSS, was TJ cents a pound ginned. Most of the cotton ginned in Ningpo is manufactured into cotton goods in China. Oue American 100 pound saw gin would do the work of twelve of the hand jiower gins used in Ningpo. The chief profit in the ginning of cotton seems to bo in the selling of seed. The seed sells at about the rate of 90 cents to $1.12 per bushel. The seed, when sold, is used in the manufacture of oil for fertilizing and for the feeding of stock. Bradstrest'a. .
