Boyd's appointees seem to be fol lowing in Ids footsteps, as evi denced by the following from the Nebraska Cit Pi ess. 'Prof. Rakt straw does not seem to be losing any time in the way of cleaning out. He had hardly been installed before he released Miss Jessie Sinclair, one of the teachers who upon his (Rakesl raw's) recom mendation, was given a position by Prof, rarinelee, and is a teacher of more than ordinary ability.

The fifteenth annual encampment of the department of Nebraska met at Columbus at l o'clock yesterday afternoon. The convention was called to order by Commander Teeter. Mayor Kagatz turue 1 the city over to the old veterans in a abort speech and welcomed them to Columbus. Commander Teeter re sponded in behalf of the G. A. R. The evening sessions was taken up with resolutions, reports and the appointment of committees. A ringing and eloquent resolution was passed, requesting the Nebras ka Columbian commission to do its utmost to have Nebraska well rep resentea at the world's fair. A $40 collection was taken up to assist the Sons of Veterans at their next annual camp at David City. An adjournment was taken until 9 o'clock this morning. The various candidates for department com mander are on the ground and are working hard for the prize, but it cannot be said with any degree of certainty wh will be the winner. There is quite a struggle among the comrades for the privilege of representing the order of the state at the Grand Army of the Republic encampment at Washington, Judge Pat O'Hawes being one of the prom inent candidates for the position. There are about 1.CC0 delegates to the Grand Army of the Republic and Woman's Relief Corps in the city besides a large number of vis itors. Minnesota Veterans Denounce the New York "Sun." Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 17. The state encampment of the G. A. R. to-day adopted a resolution in dorsing the record of General R. A. Alger and scoring the New York Sun for the article recentty pub lished reflecting upon his military career. The resolution is as fol lows: "Resolved, That the article pub lished in the New York Sun reflect ing on the military career of our past commander-in-chief, Russell A. Alger, is a libel upon the fair name and well earned reputation of a distinguished soldier and patriot; a disgrace to American journalism and an insult to the grand army of the republic, which should -be condemned by everj' citizen of the United States. Resolved, That the department commander be instructed to tele graph the above resolution to Gen eral Alger." Department Commander Parker last night telegraphed the resolu tion as directed. To-night.

' t HE THUMPED HIM. The Correspondent of the Kansas City Sunday Sun Gets a Sample of Current Public Opinion. ' Tiie good people of Nebraska City evidently don't seem to have .any use for such personal notices as they get from the pen of the corres pondent of the Kansas City Sunday Sun. The foil jwing is taken from the Press of that city. "Young Tollc, who claims to be the correspondent for the filthy sheet known as the Kansas City Sunday Sun had a bit of palpafcje experience yesterday that should show him just how his paper is re garded in the city. Tolle is a young sneak, who prowls about nosing in to other people's business, ami then reports to some person of greater ability who writes up the matter in the most breezy as well as dirty newspaper style. There seems to be no doubt that the man who as sists this dispicable wrecth in his ungodly' work is an old time news paper man, but who it is has not been positively- learned. Tolle glories in the supposed power he holds at his dis posal, and let out ttiat he would "write up" Casper La tier for next Sunday's issue. Mr. Lauer is not a man to stand upon ceremony, and meeting Tolle on the street, ques tioned him upon the matter. Tolle grew impudent and Mr. Lauer grasped his wrist so firmly that Tolle felt his feelings hurt. He ac cordingly went straight and swore out a complaint for Lauer's arrest on the charge of assault before Judge Katon. Yet at last report there was found no one to serve the warrant. As the matter stands, the people are getting to know so much about the disgraceful methods of the Sun and its representatives that public sentiment will support anyone who deals summarily with young Tolle and his unnamed assistant. Such a sneak having no responsibility to law or personal rights has little claim upon their protection, The Press suggests that he be ostracised from connections with people as he was j esterday, when he came to the oflice to word his complaints. He was promptly rejected." Hon. F. E. White was in Lincoln to-day. Geo. Edson of Murray, is is the city to-day. Go to Gering & Co. tor your pre scription work. tf T. L.

FAREWELL RECEPTION- The Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Bird Critchfield COMPLETELY SURPRISE I'll EM. They are Piesented with an Elegant Silv r Water Set A Pleasant Evening Spent Among . Friends The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Bird Critchfield gave them a surprise farewell reception last evening at the Odd Fellows' hall, in tie Fitz gerald building. There were about 300, big and little, people present, who passed the evening in social chat and games of all kinds. About 9 o'clock a committee called at the home of Mr. Critchfield and informed him that he and his esti (liable wife were wanted down town, and escorted them to the hall, this being the first intimation they had ofanything of the kind. They were completely taken by surprise. After arriving at the hall and greet ing their friends they were escorted to one end of the large hall, where Judge A. N. Sullivan, on behalf of those present, presented them with a beautiful silver water pitcher and service, which bore the following inscription: "Presented to Mr. and Mrs. Bird Critchfield by their many friends, February 17, 1892." Mr. Critchfield, in accepting, re sponded in the following well chosen words: "Dear Friends I regret our ina bility to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to our vast number of friends who have partaken in this most complete surprise, yet it is use less for me at this time to under take to express our feelings on this most pleasant occasion. We had, to some extent, broken off the ties of friendship which so often hinder persons from leaving a community, and, indeed, often cause the most unpleasant feelings of homesick ness, but this occasion onl' reacts and reassures us that we shall be missed in your city, wheie our stay of the past four years has brought us in close association with nearly as many real friends and neighbors as during the previous thirty years of our lives. We only want to dearly thank you, dear friends, for the manjr courtesies shown us, not only in the discharge of the duties of my office, but as citizens during our stay; also for these beautiful presents which you have given us, which probably seem but a small token to you, but to us are valued highly, and, indeed, their value is beyond estimation in our hearts; and we further assure you that we will ever remember our dear friends in Plattsmouth, and if at any time any of you should happen to be in the vicinity of Elmwood you will find the latch string hanging out for you. You will always be welcome, and if the house is not large enough to ac commodate you, we will build larger. You will always find me working for the interests of Cass county." Anna and Fannie Keppel pre sented them with a pair of napkin rings, and the friends of Miss Maud Hague (Mrs.Critchfield's sister), pre sented her with a beautiful gold ring. During the evening refreshments were served. Following is a list of those buying the wa'er set: E. R. Todd, H. D Apgar, W. D. Jones, Jonathan Hatt, J. M. Patterson, John Ellison, L. G. Larsen, P. C.

So it's a check, eh?" Mrs. Brown-Jones (greatlv relieved) "Y-Y-Yes!" I'uck. Dog with the Jim-Jams. Edmond Gros is the owner of a bull terrier which is pronounced the great est inebriate canine of his breed. Gros is a medical student, and as such he had gathered a number of specimens and preserved them in alco hol. His studies for examination came to an end some days ago, and having no further use for the specimens he had the jars and their contents re moved to the cellar of his home for future disposal. Sport, which is the name of the drink-loving dog, smelled out the alco hol and immediately proceeded to up set the jars, thereby breaking them and causing the spirits to form a pool, which he lapped up. Gros' attention was first calle-l to w hat had happened by the peculiar antics of Sport. He howled during half the night, which was a strange contrast to his ordinary good behavior, and when Gros went down to see what was the matter he found him jumping about in the most unaccountable manner, snapping at the floor and the air, and howling all the while. The dog recognized his master and sought shelter behind him, as though from some invisible foe. He was per fectly exhausted from the exercise he had gone through and fell asleep, only to awake a few minutes later and bite his own paws. All these symptoms, as well as the empty specimen jars, were indications enough for the student to diagnose , his nrst case as one of delirium tre mens. Sport grew better, but could not be coaxed back into the cellar, where he saw green-eyed rats, with blue tails and lots of teeth. San Francisco Call. lie Had the Advantage. An interesting story is told how George Westinghouse, the millionaire inventor, obtained $1,000,000 when he needed it badly. When the Westing house Air-Brake Company was a new concern the directors gave to Mr. Westinghouse a paper vesting abso lutely in his hands the power to fix the Belling price of air-brakes. The object was to cripple competitors. When the Wrestinghouse Electric and Manu facturing Company was in trouble Mr. Westinghouse applied to the air brake company for a loan of $500,000. His application was refused and men tion made of the fact that he owed the air-brake company $650,000. At the next meeting of the board I Mr. Westinghouse produced the paper giving him the authority to fix prices. Its existence had been forgotten and the directors saw the importance of gaining possession of it. Attorneys were consulted to ascertain what could be done. All said that the only thing would be to make terms with Mr. Westinghouse. Then he was asked what he would take for the paper. He said $1,000,000, stuck to the figure and got it. The directors who refused the loan of $500,000 and then paid over $1,000,000 don't like this story, but its truth is vouched for. Philadel phia Time- KW MKATMARKET. lnhl'.eef. l'rk. Vml.
