The vote recurred on tho amendment, a rising vote was called for and a count of dele gates showed Mr. Chapman had been turned down by a good majority in favor of the young republican, t.nd the chainiian announced that the amendment had carried. Before the loud cheers which followed bad died away tho Wright leaders, who had tied up with Chapman, although there was no tight on Mr. Wright by Dovey or his representatives, they seemed to have that view ol it and a call for vote by call ot ptecints was made by Stove Creek. This was entirely out of order as the vote taken was a standing one, and tho chair should have refused to entertain it, but he ordered the call, and in the turmoil which followed Mr. Chapman obtained a small majority over Pollard, the man who had been rightfully elected, and was declared the delegate. Tho oiher delegates were then' named without dissent.

John Phelps, a farmer living on the north side of the river, killed a large goose Wednesday.

It was made from a wide strip of leather, ono end being split to admit its head and the other end be ing 6pht in two strips.

I it is probable that it has at some time been used as a decoy and broke loose but could not free itself from tho I closely fitted harness.

Six months ago Sam Chapman posed as the political director in the county and selected a delegation himself to go to the judicial con vention. Saturday ho v'as fairly beaten by a boy from Nehawka for the oosition of delegate to the state con vention. His own ward turned him dowrt,so he could not go from there, hence he must turn against Dovey and get A.W. Wrignt's forces so take him up in or der to get a standing at all in the county convention. We understand the ex-dictator is talking about his en dorsement very glibly away from home, but the least ho says about it here tho better. Home Seekers' Kxcuralon.

Address, Krokhleu & AliCHEK, Plattsmouth, Neb. INFORMATION AND OPINION. The Journal makes a very weak at tempt to get after Judge Newell last evening, which can not possibly injure him with those familiar with his ad ministration, which has been conceedd to bo of the best tho city ever had. Times have been hard and money scarce, yet city affairs have been so economically managed that there is right now over $3,000 in the general fund, while other towns' warrants are below par. George Thomas, colored, receive a letter from Kansas City dated March 24, that his' son, Louis Thomas, had been murdered at that place. .Tho letter was signed "J. M.n The boy left here about two weeks ago and since that time nothing has been heard from him. Some of tho family were out Saturday evening asking for assist to enable ono of them to go to Kansas City to look info tho matter. Tho po lice do not seem to take much stock in the letter, and we myght say, nor does any one else. Nebraska City News. A new woman of Pierce went down to Norfolk tho other day and got on a "high lonesome" all by herself. On returning homo she nourished a re volver and was" just on tho point of killing a few people when disarmed by the valiant town marshal. The cadi beforo whom she was taken or dered her to apoear at a subsequent data and show cause why she should not bo fined for a breach of tho peace, but she gathered her husband under her wing and made swift tracks out of town. It is as we feared it would bo. When woman puts on manly ways somebody has got to move out or there is trouble. Bixby. A CAKEFUL study of tho political situation in Nebraska, emboldens us to say that W. J. Bryan, with his sil ver tougt o and vote-catching sophistries, is a dangerous candidate for the governorship if ho gets the endorsement of tho demo-pop combine. In that event the republicans must nominate for their standard bearer a man that is clever, honest and capable and one who stands close to the throb bing hearts of tho masses. We have but one such candidate who fills tho bill in every requisite, and that man is Eugene Moore. If tho combine nominates Bryan, fearless, honest Geno Moore is tho man of all others who-can defeat " him."'No political hacks with a pull can do it, even though the republican endorsement in convention were freely given. Eugene Moore is the logical candidate of the party and his election would follow without serious difficulty. Christian Science.

THERE IS NO NATIONAL HOLIDAY Sot Even the Vabor Day Act Creates On Say tha Lawyers. There woula seem to be no such thing in thia country as a national holiday. Lawyers assert that even Labor day. which was set apart by act of congress in 1894 in such manner aa to lead the confiding layman to suppose it at least to be a national holiday, is nofc 6uch outside of the District of Columbia un less by state enactment Tha creation and regulation of holidays havo been left entirely to the legislatures of the individual states. The act of congress concerning Labor day was approved June 28, 1894. Ifc pro vides "that the first Monday of Septem ber in each year, being the day cele brated and known as Labor day, is hereby made a legal holiday, to all in tents and purposes, in the came manner aa Christmas, Jan. 1, Feb. 22, May 80 and July 4 are now mado by law public holidays." Clearly the proper construction .cf this statute can be arrived at only by reference to the provisions bearing upon the other holidays named. The act making-holidays of Jan. 1, July 4, Christ inas and "any day appointed or recom mended by the presid!ent; of the United States. as a day of public fast or thanks giving", was passed in June, 1870, and was restricted in its effect to the Dis trict of Columbia. These days are holi days in the various states only as they are made so by tho various state legis latures. The act of Jan.- 31, 1879, makes Feb. 22 a legal holiday, and the act of Aug. 31, 1S88, does the eame for May 80, and both are restricted in their applica tion to the District of Columbia. The act referring to Labor day says nothing about the District of Columbia, but it does say that the first Monday of Sep tember shall be a legal holiday, "to all Intents and purposes, in the same man ner as Christmas, Jan. 1, Feb. 22, May 80 and July 4 are now made by law public holidays." ' The intents and purposes for which- and the maaner in which those days are made holidays are expressly limited to the District of Columbia, and so, by necessary inference, is the act referring to Labor day. The misleading language of the Labor day act has led to a prevalent statement that the first Monday of September w a holiday throughout the United States by congressional enactment. New York Tribune. PRANKS OF SCOTTISH FAIK'ES. r4 A Firm Relief In the "Fair Folk" StKI LIr.j;ers. There still IingetB a widespread belief n the north of Scotland that the "fair folk," or "gweednevbors, " as the fairies ate called, etill live in the hills, and during the first days of convalescence a mother must be zealously guarded lest one of the "wee people come and rob the child of its nourishment. Some times they succeed in carrying off thtj mother. Here is one of the superstitious egends : A north country fisher had a fine child. One evening a beggar woman entered the hut and went tip to the cradle to gaze into the eyes of the babe. From that time good health left it, and a strange look came into its face, and the mother was troubled. An old man begging for food passed that way. When he caught sight of the child, he cried : "That's nae a bairn. It a an image. and the gweed folk has stotin his speerit." Thereupon he sot to work to recall the fisher 's bairn,. A peat fire was heaped high on the hearth aid a black hen held over it at such a distance that it wa singed and not killed. After some strug gling the hen escaped up the lum. A few moments elapsed, and then the par ents were gladdened by the sight of a happy expression once more on th child's face. It throve from that day forward. Scottish Review. A Don Purse Snatcher. Pointer dogs can always be trained to steal. Many of them are natural thieves without training, and anj cf the species can be taught. - There ia a dog of thia kind in northwest Washington. He will pick up anything he can find around a yard or outside of a store, but his spe cialty is ladies pocketbooks and hand bags. When he sees one of those, he grabs it and runs, always succeeding in getting out of sight before ho can be captured or followed. No owner has ver been seen, hence no complaints have been made at police headquarters, but there is but little doubt, if it were possible to follow the animal, that it would be found that he has been care fully trained as a purse snatcher and that he takes his booty home to his master. He seems to be aware that he is doing wrong, jumping fences and dodg ing around houses when running away. Washington Star. An Old Colonial Blockhouse. Among the attractions cf the town of Bourne, Mass., are two historic cellars. One was dug by the Plymouth colony and the other by the Dutch traders. These cellars lie side by side, and the structures built over them were filled with goods bo necessary for the comfort of the early pilgrims aa well as the Dutch. The pilgrims needed manufac tured goods such as the Hollander had for sale and thb Dutch required prod ucts such as the colony could 6upply. Governor Bradford, in his diary, states that this block house was built as early as 1627, only seven years after the land Ing of the Mayflower. St Louis Globe Democrat About Girls. "Girls," remarked the small boy in his composition upon the subject, "is of several thousand kinds, and sometimes one girl can behave like several thou sand girls.
