of her betrayer.
L. W. Bradley , who went to
Champaign , 111. , a few weeks ago to
visit his parents , has died there. The
deceased has for seven j'ears been an
honored and respected citizen of He

itself upon him , about two years ago ,
an energetic business man. It was
his desire to close his life amid the
scenes of his childhood , and happily it
was his privilege.
Dock Carruthers of Lincoln , has
had his second trial by jury in the
county court on the charge of shooting
prairie chickens out of season. This
time the jury found him guilty as
charged and he was fined § 10 and costs ,
the latter amounting to nearly $40.
As he paid the $50 he remarked that
he had only killed two prairie chickens
on that hunt , and $25 apiecei for wild
fowl was pretty expensive lining.
Fred Gramer , a young man who
has been working in Saunders county
met with a serious accident. He car
ried a 41 calibre revolver in his hip
pocket and when he went to pick up
his pants the revolver slipped out and
fell to the floor , the hammer striking-
in such a way as to discharge the
weapon. The ball struck him just
above the ankle and went in between

near the knee where it lodged and can
not be found.

GUAXD ISLAND , Neb. , Sept. 6. Yes
terday virtually closed the reunion.
The programme for today reads : ' 'Good
bye ; come again. " It was the largest ,
most interesting and most enthusiastic
ever held in Nebraska. Regretfully
people turn their faces and all have
kind words of thanks for the cordial
and magnanimous treatment they have
received. The accommodations were
unexcelled , and every member of the
reunion committee has labored inces
santly for the benefit of the visitors.
An estimate of the crowd can bo
made from the statistics of the Union
Pacific road , which carried an average
of 28,000 daily for the last three days.
In addition to this the B. & M. railway
has had a very large patronage , street
cars have been taxed to their limits
and hacks and carriages have done a
large business.
The feature at the camp yesterday
was the sham battle , participated in
by the old soldiers of company F , Second
end United States artillery , commanded
by Colonel Carl A. Woodruff , and the
Twenty-first United States infantry ,
commanded by General Morrow. It
was a grand sight and will be long re
membered by all who witnessed it.

Yesterday was a red letter day for
the traveling men of Nebraska. The
reunion suffered a positive eclipse and
the boys carried all before them. At
11 o'clock in the morning the festivi
ties were started with a monster pa
rade , over five hundred commercial
men being in line , escorted by mounted
police , twelve brass bands and a con
tinual round of applause. A Union
Pacific locomotive and freight car
came rumbling along the street and
blowing its whistle. Altogether this
parade was the finest seen in our
streets for sometime and greatly
strengthened the good feeling already
existing between our citizens arid" Pl |
travelling men. Following thetravel-
ing men came the Grand Island Uni
formed Rank Knights of Pythias , presenting - "
senting a fine appearance. The local

was a long line of trade displays.
The Nebraska State Fair.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Sept. 6. The ex
hibits at the state fair are not yet in
shape , but they will be by Monday ,
and the exposition will then practically
commence. About one-half of the
counties in the state will make exhib
its , and each one is endeavoring to
outdo the other.
Nemahn , counjty has 360 exhibits of
grains , fruits and'vegetables * Stanton
and Perkins have also fine displays ,
while Richardson county has specimens
of winter wheat which will weigh six
ty-five pounds to the bushel , and oats
which will weigh forty-two pounds to
the bushel. There are over one hun
dred specimens of different kinds of
timber grown in Richardson county.
The sugar beet display from Grand
Island promises to be one of the inter
esting features of the fair. An entire
wing of the agricultural hall is to be
devoted to this exhibit. Every feature
and decoration of this department is
entirely of beets.
The poultry house has been doubled
in size in order to accommodate the
large exhibit promised. Messrs. Me
ghan and Lyman built a large reser
voir in the center which is filled with
water for ducks , and around it will bo |
a profusion of flowers. A fountain
spouting a stream fifteen feet high has
been placed in the middle of the pond.
Lincoln has carried out her obliga
tions incurred by the relocation of the
btate fair by erecting a number of
buildings , among which is the art Imll ,
a pagoda-like structure situated north ,
of the old art hall. Externally it has ,
the appearance of a three story build
ing , and the exterior is most pleasing
in its arrangements. It will be de
voted : exclusively to artv work of all
kinds. The old art hall has been re-
christened mercantile hall and is to be
devoted to the display of Lincoln mer-
ohants'
The Arid
WASHINGTON , Sept. 6. Land Com
missioner Groff has issued to registers
and receivers of land otlices a circular
releasing from reservation the lands of
the arid region. It calls attention to
that portion of the act approved
August 30 , 1890 , which repeals so
much of the act of October 2 , 1888 , as
withdraws lands in Ihe arid region of
the United States from entry , occupa
tion and settlement with the acception
that the reservoir sites heretofore
located or selected shall remain se
questered and reserved from entry or
settlement until otherwise provided by
law , and the reservoir sites hereafter
located or settled on public lands shall
in like manner be reserved from date
of location or selection. The circulars
of August 5 , 1889 , and August 9 , 1890 ,
are recinded.
A World's Fair DcciNion.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 6. The first
comptroller of the treasury has ren
dered an opinion that commissioners
and alternate commissioners of the
world's fair Columbia exposition can
not serve both as such commissioners
and as officers of the commission.
RATIONAL CAPITAL NOTES.
The United States steamship Kear-
sarge has been ordered to Aspinwall.
It is supposed that this action is caused
upon rumors of a threatened railroad
strike at that place.
Judge Veasey of the interstate com
merce commission has left Washington
for St. Louis , Kearney , Neb , and other
western points where cat > es are assigned
for hearing. Ho will be joined by
Commissioner Morrison at St. Louis.
A prominent treasury official said
that while the statement of the public
debt for August showed a net decrease
of only § 833,037 , it was also true thai
the bended debt had been reduced $19-
847,200 during the same period by the
purchase of bonds.
The joint resolution providing for
assistance for the Oklahoma sufferers
has been approved by the president.

try will be provided for , in a measure ,
at once. Secretary Noble deserves
great credit for his prompt action in
the premises. The reports had from
his special agent there were concise ,
prompt and reliable , and enabled con
gress to act without delay.
The official figures as announced today
-day by. Superintendent Porter show
"th'e population of Topeka , Kan. , to be
31,809. an increase of 16,357 during
the decade. The rate of increase in
the ten years has been 105.86 per cent ,
or about ten per cent per annum. This
gives Topeka second place in the list
of Kansas cities , Kansas City being
first with a population of 38,000 , and
Leaven worth third with 23,000.
A bill introduced by Senator Coke
provides that hereafter no national
bank shall issue circulating notes and
that within six months each national
bank shall deposit money with the
United States treasurer for the re
demption of its circulating notes , the
bonds now deposited for this purpose
to be returned. United States legal
tender notes shall be issued in place of
bank notes. Authority is given na
tional banks to loan money on real
estate.
The chances are that the anti-lottery
bill will be passed by the senate before
the close of the session and will become
a law. The senate committee reported
it to the senate just as it passed the
house. This will greatly facilitate ac
tion upon the bill. Members of the
committee wanted to make some
changes in the bill , but their anxiety
to secure prompt action deterred them.
J&the senate passes the bill just as il !
passed the house , no conference will (
be necessarv , and the signature of the j
president t > * ; n be liad at once , making' '
it a law.
Cherokee Strip Cattlemen.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 8. It has beer
understood that the president's deci
sion to let the cattlemen on the Chero
kee strip have more time was in ordei
to prevent the possibility of breaking
the cattle market in the west thib fall. I
When Secretary Rusk was asked aboul
this he confirmed the report and said
the president kept his eyes open in
order to avoid disturbances in the com
mercial world. He had been ia formed
that if the firs * orders to the cattle- '
men.to quit the Cherokee country were
carried out it would flood the cattle
markets with the poor Cherolcee cat
tle. There has been much drouth in
that locality and a shortage of crops ,
BO that the cattle are in a bad condi
tion and cannot possibly be got into
good shape for an early fall market.
If they were driven out of the country
and thrown upon the markets their
poor condition and the unusual supply
would almost certainly disturb the
market seriously and probably break
it. Secretary Rusk said it was in
order to avert such a disturbance of
the market that ranchmen have been
given more time for getting cattle out
of the Indian country.
Foivdcrly Called a Jonah.
BALTIMORE , Md. , Sept. 5. The Fed
eration of Labor last night laid on the
table a letter asking for contributions
from the unions represented in the
federation for the New York Central
railroad strikers. Members of the
federation who spoke said they had
every confidence in the local organiza
tion through which the money would
be transmitted , but had no confidence
in the general executive board of the
Knights of Labor. They did not be
lieve the money would ever reach the
strikers. One delegate said Powderly
is the Jonah" the Knights of Labor.
He hoped that the next general con
vention of the knights will throw Pow
derly overboard and that no whale
will cast him up.

Jn the senute on the 1st Blair asked
whether a motion to adjourn would be
in order. This was Labor day , lie said ,
and should be universally observed.
Senator Hoar said Labor day would bo
better honored by legislation in behalf
of labor. Senator Blair acquiesced
and said : "I give notice to the sena
tor in charge of the tariff bill that I will
ask the unanimous consent ot the sen
ate to give precedence to the consider
ation of labor bills that have been sent
us by the house of representatives. ' '
Senator Sherman gave notice of an
amendment which ho proposed to offer
to the tariff bill looking toward reci
procity with the Dominion of Canada
in coal and toward extending trade be
tween Canada and the United States.
Senator Blair asked unanimous consent
to proceed tp the consideration of the
house bill for the adjustment of ac
counts under the eight-hour law.
It was objected to and the
senate took up the tariff bill.
In the house Mr. Cooper of Indiana
offered a resolution discharging Repre
sentative Smyser of Ohio from the
Raum investigating committee on the
ground that Mr. Smyser owns stock in
Kaum's refrigerator enterprise , which
plays so important a part in the in
vestigation. At Mr. Smyser's request
he was relieved from duty on the com
mittee. The speaker said he had had
no knowledge of Mr. Smyser's connec
tion with the company. The house
passed , under suspension 01 tne rules ,
the bill providing for the government
inspection of coal mines in the terri
tories. A bill to ratify agreements
with the Sac and Fox Indians in Okla
homa and a substitute for the semite
bill granting right of way to the
Hutchinson railroad through that ter
ritory passed.
In the senate on the 2d. Senator
Evarts presented resolutions of the Buf
falo merchants' exchange favoring re
ciprocity with the nations to the south
and north of the United States. The
house bill in relation to lotteries was
reported from the postofiice committee
and placed on the calendar with a noti
fication by Senator Sawyer that he
would ask for its consideration as soon
as the tariff bill was passed. Senator
Quay gave notice that he would ask
the senate on Saturday the 13th to con
sider resolutions relative to the death
of Samuel J. Randall. The tariff bill
was then taken up and the sugar
schedule was considered. Senator
Allison made a long statement about
receipts and expenditures of the gov
ernment and of the probable effect of
the tariff bill on the finances , reaching
the conclusion that the expenditures
for the current fiscal year would be
about $411,000,000. The revenue for
the year he estimated at $400,000.000 ,
and if the tariff bill was passed he
figured out a decrease of $33.500,000
of revenue if sugar was put on tne free
list ; thus leaving a surplus of § 14,000 , -
000 or $15,000,000 at the end of the
year. In concluding , he said he
favored testing the * question of putting
sugar on the free list , and was also in
favor of a further extension of
reciprocal trade. In the house
Mr. Tracey of Iowa called up and the
.house proceeded 4o the consideration
of the Clayton-Brockenridge election
case. The matter went over. Mr.
Cannon of Illinois took the floor and !
made a statement respecting appropriations - j
priations made by this session of con- '
gress. as compared with similar appro
priations while the house was under ,
democratic control. Mr. Cannnon prefaced - !
faced his statement by saving that all j
the appropriation bills had been enacted - ,
acted except the river and harbor and
the geneial deiiency bills , and these
were in such condition that the amounts !
contained in them could be accurately '
approximated. Preliminary to a crit
ical examination of this statement ,
said Mr. Cannon , it is not uninterest
ing to call attention to the fact that \
the appropriations made during the
first or long session of a congress exceed - '
coed in a marked degree those made
during the next preceding and sue- {
ceeding short sessions. The last Fiftieth - '
tieth congress furnishes an apt illus
tration. During the first or long ses
sion the appropriations aggregated
$423,626,343 , or 57,357,947 excess
over the appropriations of the frhor
session of the Forty-ninth congress
and $27,288,827 more than the appropriations - |
priations of the following short session ]
of the Fiftieth congress , which latter i
are the" appropriations naturally ,
brought into comparison with appro
priations made at this session.
In the senate on the 3d Senator Call
offered a resolution , which was referred - *
"
ferred to the committee on foreign relations -
lations , declaring that the murder of
General Barrundia on the steamer
Acapulo by the authorities of Guate
mala while under the protection of the
flag of the United States was an insult
to the people of the United States , and
demanding prompt action by this gov
ernment for a redress of the injury
and for security against a recurrence
of such cases. The McKinley bill was
then taken up , the sugar schedule
being under consideration , and Sena
tor Edmunds addressed the senate. In
the house bills were passed to regu
late the granting of leases at Hot
Springs , Ark. , and a bill authorizing
the construction of a bridge across the
.Savannah river by thoJMiddlo Georgia.
& Atlantie railroad company. Tho-
house then proqecded to the further
consideration of the Clayton-Breckon-
ridge case. The case , after lengthy
discussion , went over and the house-
adjourned.
In the senate on the 5th the tariff
bill was taken up under the agreement
limiting the discussion on each subject
to five minutes for each senator. Mr.
Gibson withdrew the "amendment of
fered by him last Tuesday to the sugar-
schedule , "there having been a .mis
take in it. " and ho offered , another
amendment striking out that schedule
and substituting for it the sugar pro
visions of the Mills bill. Mr. Butler
presented a communication received
by him from the stale department
showing the relative cxportations of
cotton goods by Great Britain and the
United States. Ho thought the information
mation might bo valuable in view of
the reciprocal propositions. Presiding"
Officer Ingalls announced that the gen
eral debate on the tariff bill had closed ,
with the exception of the reservation
of the day the final vote is to be taken ,
and when three hours time is to be al
lowed each side. In the house the sen
ate bill passed to establish a port of
entry at Sioux City , la. Mr. Lacy of
Iowa then called up the Clayton-Breck-
enridgo election case , the previous-
question to bo called at 1 o'clock to
morrow. Mix McRae of Arkansas made-
an earnest attack upon Powell Clayton.
The case then went over. The senate
bill was passed authorizing the secre
tary of the interior to survey the sev
enth standard parallel between the-
states of North and South Dakota ,
The session of the senate on the 5th
was entirely given up to consideration
of the tariff bill. In the house the
Clayton-Breckenridge case was again
taken up and Breckenridge was ac
corded the floor to argue in his own
behalf. He charged the chairman of
the committee on elections ( Powell )
with impropriety in judging cases.
That gentleman , in discussing another
election case , referred to the case
from the Second Arkansas district arid
had declared that in that district five
political murders had occurred. He
called upon the gentleman to name the
murdered men. Powell said that they
were Benjamin , Smith , Bentley and
Clayton , while an attempt had been
made to assassinate Wahl. Brecken
ridge denied the correctness of the
statement and called attention to the
fact that the gentleman himself
concurred in the report which
said that there was a suspicion
only of these things being true.
The debate having been closed , Mr.
Crisp of Georgia moved to recommit
the case with instructions to the com
mittee on elections to report which of
the gentlemen received a majority of
