Kearney dispatch. . The Buffalo ccun
ty fair closed last night , and was quite
a success , so far as showing what the
county was capable of producing was
concerned. The display wasnot as cx-
tensive as it.has been on some former
occasions , but what was on exhibition
was good , and surprised even those
who had lived in the county for years.
There were onions that would measure
from five to seven inches in diameter ,
potatoes that could not be laid down
flat in a peek measure , ears of corn that
measured from eleven to thirteen inches
in length and were sound and full to
the very end , sugar beets that measured -
ured two feet in length and were thick
in proportion , and one squash that
measured six feet and two inches in
circumference.

der were in the same handwriting ,
and refused payment without identifi-
cation. Later Young was arrested and
confessed that the order was bogus. He
further stated that his name is Sim-

The Red Cloud roller mill , elevator
and warehouse were totally destroyed
by fire. The plant was one of the
largest in the state outside of Omaha ,
and the loss will probably amount to
$40,000. It had been idle since the high
water in June took part of the dam
out , but had been recently leased to
Guthrie Bros. of Superior , who were
getting the plant in shape to run. The
mill company was repairing the dam
and in a few days the repairs would
have been complete. Insurance on the
building and machinery , $25,000.

A TERRIBLE VENGEANCE.

f
SROT AND BURNED ,
HE CONFESSED HIS GUILT.
The Father of the Outraged Girl Cut
Off ills Ears , and Another One of
the Mob Cut Off His Fingers Joint
by Joint-Then Each One
of the Crowd Took a
Shot at him.
CHATTANOOGA , Tenn. , Oct. 7.-Neal
Smith , the negro convict who brutally
assaulted Miss Henderson near Cole
City , Ga. , Wednesday , was taken from
the stockade used for rearifining prisoners -
oners , by a mob of not less than 200
men , last night. The sheriff and
jailer , with several Inca , were on
guard , but the crowd refused to listen
to reason and threatened to tear down
the stockade and burn it. He was led
to a point near where the assault was
committed. He confessed his guilt.
Then the father of the girl , IS'illiam
Henderson , cut off the nogroe's ears ,
while one of the crowd pounded his
fingers , joint by joint , one finger at a
time , until the hand was a shapeless
mass. This was because , in the struggle -
gle to subdue Miss Henderson , he } mad
bitten off one of her fingers.
Each man in the crowd then took a
turn at shooting at the wretch until ,
when he died , lie must have had four
or five pounds of lead in him. IIe was
literally shot to pieces.
The body was finally thrown into a
hastily prepared pile of brushwood
and burned until not a scrap of bone
remained.
AUSTRALIAN CATTLE.
They Are Uncle Sam's Most Formidable
Competitor for the European Trade.
WAsnrxoTOx , Oct. 7.-The most
formidable competitor to the United
States for the control of the European
cattle markets. has arisen in Australia ,
according to a special report to the
state department by United States
Consul Bell at Sydney , which gives
much valuable information of the
present condition and future prospects
of the industry of cattle raising in
that country. lie shows that New
South Wales and Queensland , where
the industry flourishes , have about ten
times as much land fit for cattle feeding -
ing as the whole state of Iowa.
While much of this land is so scantily
supplied with natural water so as to
greatly limit live stock operations ,
the government has come
to time fescue and its successful ex-
periuients in artesian well boring has
vastly extended time possibilities of the
industry. One well alone supplies
5,000hi0 gallons of water daily.
At present prices cattle can be
raised in Queensland at a profit for
their hides alone. In that colony
there are 7,000,000 Bead of cattle and
in New Southm Wales & 500.000 The
people have nearly twenty head of
cattle per capita as against less than
one head per capita in the united
States. For several years there has
been considerable export business in
frozen and preserved meats , but cattle -
tle raisers are reaching out for live
stock trade and a number of shipments -
ments have been made to Europe. Fattened -
tened cattle at export points are worth
$21 per head , freight is $40 and
time of voyage to Europe from
forty-five to sixty days. Average -
age weight is lSUo pounds per
head and the cattle gain in
weig'rt on the voyage. The consul
says that while the cattle raisers of
the United States have the advantage
of from 9,000 to 10,000 miles in distance -
tance , still with cheaper production at
first cost , and lowering of freights , if
the Australian trade became well es-
tablislied. the saving in distance by
the American shipper will hardly offset -
set the Australian advantage , and the
latter could place well fattened 1,600
pound cattle averaging better in quality -
ity than the best in the United States
in the London market more cheaply
than they could be brought from any
other part of the globe. Of course , he
says , as yet there i an 'if" in all
these calculations.

transact such other business as might
come before it. '

Senator Thurston then addressed the

THE I'LATFOrsr.
Chirman Frick of the committee on
platform , then presented and read the
platform.
We , the republicans of Nebraska , in
convention assembled , declare our adherence -
herence to time statement of principles
and policies adopted by the national republican -
publican convention of 1892. Governed
in accordance with these principles ,
the industries of the nation have prospered -
pered , the revenues were always sufficient -
cient for time ordinary expenses of time
government , the veterans of time war
for the union , disabled in the service ,
and the widows and orphans of the
deadwere liberally provided for , and a
greater part of the national debt incurred -
curred in the defense of the flag had
been paid out of the surplus. The national -
tional debt had been established , time
currency of the country ( amply secured
by a treasury reserve never impaired )
was beyond question , and a degree of
prosperity attained unexampled in the
history of the nations.
But the fallacies of so-called populism -
ulism having temporarily demoralized
the rank of republicanism in its strongholds -
holds , the last national election restored -
stored the democratic party to power
in the executive and legislative departments -
ments of the government , and the results -
sults of the "change" immediately ap-
peared. Time industries of the nation
were paralyzed , financial panic followed -
ed , unprecedented for its duration and
widespread disaster to our commercial
and manufacturing interests , its irr.-
pairnient of values of all property and
product , and its reduction to a pauper
level of the wages of labor. 't'he fears
of the peopleivere finally justified by
the passage of the Wilson tariff bill , a
measure so obnoxious and indefensible
thata democratic president , pledged to
free trade measures , denounced itas an
act of perfidyanddishonor , but suffered
it to become a law without his signa-
ture. This law , based upon no recognized -
nized principle , fathered by no party
platform , that neither protects .t meri-
ean industries nor raises a sufficient
revenue to supply the ordinary necessities -
ties of the government , that has forced
the borrowing of immense sums of
money on the bonds of the government
in a time of profound peace , and the
farming out of the functions of the
treasury department to a syndicate ,
controlled. by foreign capitalists , has
once more proven the utter incapacity
of the democratic party for administering -
ing the affairs of the government.
The election of a congress last November -
vember with an unparalleled republican -
lican majority immediately strengthened -
ened the national credit , restored , in a
great measure , time confidence and tmur-
age of the people. and revived our languishing -
guishing industries , and has signally
vindicated the republican policy of pm o-
tection to home industries and a sound
currency.
IPe , therefore , call upon all patriotic
people , irrespective of former political
affiliations , to join in assisting to bring
back prosperity to the state and nation
by re-enacting protection to American
industries on the basis of that splendid
law known as the 'McKinley act , "
thereby securing an adequate revenue } 1
while guarding the American market
for American products and furnishing
steady and permanent employment of
American labor at American wages ,
and returning to the beneficial system
of commercial reciprocity with our sister -
ter American republics.
.LL KINDS OF MOSEY EQCAL.
Favoring the use of both gold and
silver standard money , we oppose all
monetary legislation that would result
in either gold or silver monometallism ,
and demand the maintenance of a national -
tional currency , every dollar of which ,
whether in gold , silver or paper , shall
be of equal debt paying or purchasing
power.
We denounce the democratic national
administration for its supine neglect of
American interests in its foreign policy ,
and its cowardly abandonment of the
doctrine of the fathers of the republic ,
that guarantees the friendly offices of
the government in favor of the independent -
pendent states of the American continents -
nents threatened with spoliation or
conquest by any European power. W'e
most heartily sympathize with the people -
ple of Cuba in tlmeir desire to obtain independence -
dependence and self government. and
deman in case of Spain's attempt to
make good its threat to wage a war of
