Center of the main channel of the
Missouri river between a point in the
center of main channel of the river
directly north of the west line of Dixon
county , Nebraska , and a point in the
center of the channel directly south of
the east line of Clay county , South ha-

The grand lodge of the Odd Fellows
In Nebraska met in its thirty-eighth
annual session in Omaha last week ,
with every grand officer in his station ,
and about 300 delegates present , representing -
senting every subordinate lodge in the
state. Grand Secretary Gage made his
annual report , which shows a net gain
of four lodges in the state for the year ;
and a net gain of thirty-three members
for the same period. Thisseems small ,
but when the drouth and business depression -
pression are considered it is viewed that
the order did well to hold its own. The
report shows that $15,737.10 was paid
out for relief ; the total assets of subordinate -
ordinate lodges are $3S5,527.G5 , and a
balance is in the treasury of the grand
lodge at this time of $6,755. Li. In addition -
dition to the relief reported above , the
grand lodge paid out $1,050.22 to aid
needy lodges and members in the
drouth stricken portions of the state
last year.
Interesting Irrigation Case.
Gering dispatch : The injunction
case of Mcclenahan against the Winter
Creek Canal company was heard and
will be decided by Judge Neville after
arguments in the form of briefs have
been submitted. The case bears upon
the legality of the assessment of shares
of capital stock in an irrigation coin-
pany for maintenance purposes and the
question as to whether the companies
arc entitled to sell delinquent stock
upon merely advertising the same , or
whether judgment must be taken and
proceedings had in that way. It is regarded -
garded as a test case by all the coin-
panics in this section , most of them
being organized under the mutual or
co-operative plan , and is watched with
a great deal of interest.

The Norfolk beet sugar factory has.

says a dispatch from that place , working -
ing up the immense crop of sugar beets
grown in the territory tributary to this
factory. Each year since the erection
of the factory here sulstantial improvements -
ments have been made on the plant ,
and this year was no exception. A
large warehouse , for storing the sugar ,
has been erected , and considerable new
machinery put into the factory. A
most important change is the substitution -
tion of crude petroleum for the coal
formerly used in heating the boilers.
Large iron tanks have been built outside -
side the boiler house , in which the oil
is stored , and from which the oil is
pumped into the boiler house , heating
six immense boilers. The scene around
Norfolk among the farmers is one of
great activity , men , women and children -

and Other Republican Leaders Praised
' Nomination
and Critlcised-Garfield's -
ation In 1880 Comes In for a
Good Share of. Attention
-Intrigues , Etc.
.
CHICAGO , Oct. 21-The intrigues
the jealousies and the traitorous knife
thrusts of the last half-century of
American stateeraft are revealed in
the fierce light of stern criticism in
"John Sherman's Recollections of
Forty Years in the House , Senate and
Cabinet , " just published in this city.
The fear that the 'venerable senator
would reveal secrets , long kept from
the public , in his forthcoming work
has been toan extent realized. 'Grant ,
Garfield , Blaine , Arthur , Harrison and
other Republican leaders are spoken
of with unstinted praise for their high ,
personal , worthy statesmanship , but
each is in guarded and covert language
shown in the less commendable light
of scheming politicians. Time criticism -
cism is almost invariably implied
rather than direct , but it stands out
clearly in the work as a whole.
Owing to the close association of Mr.
Sherman and James A. Garfield , the
criticism the nomination of the
latter for president of the United
States is perhaps one of the most
striking features of the book. The author -
thor , while carefully avoiding a direct
charge of treachery on the part of the
ex-president , very significantly makes
it plain that Mr. Garfield was nominated -
nated at a convention to which he had
gone as time trusted leader of the Slier-
man forces. After showing by the
publication of private letters , covering
a period of years of close political and
personal association , that Mr. Garfield
was , in reality , his political protege ,
Mr. Sherman gives in detail the history -
tory of the national convention of
1880. Following the account of his
own struggle for the nomination , he
says :
"In time , I became thoroughly advised -
vised of what occurred at the Chicago
convention , and had become entirely
reconciled to the result , though frequently -
quently afterwards I heard incidents
and details which occasioned me great
pain , and whichm seemed to establish
the want of sincerity on the part of
some of the delegates , and tended to
show that for some time before the
meeting ofQtlie convention the nomination -
nation of General Garfield had been
agreed upon. "
The sting felt by Garfield's defection
in 1SSO is inadvertently shown by a
sentiment expressed during the dis us-
sion of the national convention of
1892 , where time senator remarks :
"From later developments I became
satisfied that Harrison could not be
elected , that Platt and a powerful
New York influence would defeat him
if nominated. I therefore preferred
the nomination of a neww man , such as
1Viilialn McKinley , but he had committed -
mitted himself toHarrison , and , according -
cording to my code of honor , could not
accept a nomination even if tendered
him. "
Again the author reverts to the
Chicago convention in discussing the
character of President Garfield. Of
his personality and eloquence he
speaks in the highest terms. His will
power , he says , was not up to his personal -
sonal magnetism. lie adds that his
opinion cuanged easily. In this
connection lie said : "jVlien I proposed
to him to be a delegate-at-large to the
Chicago convention , lie no doubt
meant in good faith to support my
nomination. "
Some of the political scheming that
again resulted in the defeat of the
Ohio statesman in thee national convention -
vention of 1SSS and brought about the
nomination of ex-President Harrison
can easily be read between the lines
in that part of the work devoted to
this struggle. In discussing the result -
sult Mr. Sherman says he became satisfied -
isfied one delegate from New York
controlled the entire delegation from
that state , and between Saturday
night , when the nomination seemed
certain to go to Sherman , and Monday
morning , when the tide turned in
favor of Harrison , a corrupt bargain
was made in the interests of the
latter , which secured him the support
of New York and gave him the nom-
ination. Continuing the author states
in fairness to the ex-President : "But
it is to the credit of General Harrison
to say that if the reputed bargain
was made it was without his consent
at the time. "
On the eve of another national campaign -
paign in which ex-President Harrison
is expected to figure promninently , Mr.
Sherman does not hesitate to state
that in 1502 he did not consider Harrison -
son a strong candidate. To his cold
and abrupt manner , he attributes his
unpopularity at that time.
At the age of 72 years , Senator
Sherman recalls the affair over the attempt -
tempt to remove Chester A. Arthur
from the collectorshsn of the port of
New York with much feeling. The
0
correspondence bearing on the controversy -
versy never before published is given
in full , and Mr. Sherman's part as secretary -
retary of the treasury is stated in de-
tail. Arthur is shown up in an unenviable -
enviable light and the attitude of
Roscoe Contling toward the president
is caustically commented upon. The
former's nomination as vice president ,
Mr. Sherman says , was the whim of
Conkling to annoy President Hayes.
In writing about himself Mm. Sherman -
man is candid to the point of self crit-
icism. For instance , lie states that a t
the age of 19 years he got into bad
company and was on several occasions
conscious of being intoxicated. In relating -
lating time incident which influenced
his whole life in this respect , he says :
"On one occasion , in the fall of 1330 , I
went home very sick from drinking.
My mother received me with much
surprise and sorrow , but neither complained -
plained nor scolded , and with the utmost -
most kindness put me to bed and
watched over and cared for me. I was
not enough stupefied to be unconscious
of my degradation and her affection , Ii I i
and then and there resolved never to I
be in such a condition again , "

HARRY GARFIELD.
The Family of the Lead I'resident Will
Answer Sherman and Others Later.
CLEVELAND , Ohio. Oct. 21.-The
eldest son of the late President , Harry
A. Garfield , while averse to expressing -
ing himself in regard to Senator Slier-
mans statements , finally said : "It
has been the policy of time family not
to reply to charges that are made
against my father , and so we
have never given any attention
to such as the Roscoe Conkling
matter and other things of that kind.
There is in the possession of our family -
ily all the letters , manuscripts diaries
and such matter that was left by my
father , and it is our intention to answer -
swer all charges in the form of a biography -
graphy rather than as time charges are
made. I do know one thing. I am
and have been a warm admirer and
friend of Senator Shaman's and I
know that my father always was. Of
course , Senator Sherman has a
perfect right to It s own opinions -
ions , as has everybody else.
The nomination in l SSO was considered
by my fathers friends and nearly
{ everybody so be the result of a
peculiar condition of ntfairs.
ever Senator Sherman may think
of it is his own matter , and he bas a
I right to his own opinions. It may be
that we will have something to say regarding -
garding this matter , but I will not say
t that we will or will not. I could only
say that after a conference with the
i .
family and looking over some of the
i paper , it does not seem to me right or
proper for anyone to make charges by
{ inference , but they should be substan-
tinted by papers and documents , 1 do
not care to enter into a controversy
over it and prefer not to discuss the
matter until I ] lave seen the book ,
which I have ordered. I think whatever -
' ever reply we may decide to make will
likely be made in the form of a biog-
I raphy , but at the same time it is possible -
sible we may decide otherwise and
make a statement regarding it.

AFFAIR COMPLICATED ,
It Is Declared PosttiveIP that the lirnls-

. Corbett and Fltzsiuimons.
LITTLU ROCK , Ark , Oct. I9.-The
,
Corbett-Fitzsimmons tight situation is
even more complicated to-clay than it
was when Governor Clarke first declared -
clared that he would use the full
power of the law to prevent the con-
test. No one here now dares to say
what will be the outcome , though the
feeling at Hot Springs at present is
that , if Fitzsimmons will agree to the
changed conditions , making the match
a soft glove limited round glove fight ,
the men will be able to meet at that
place October it without interference.
It is said that the governor while at
Hot Springs asserted that he would
tolerate no violation of time law , but
was willing to refer the whole question -
tion to Judge Uuflie an' , if he should
conclude that no violation warranting
interference was intended , the governor -
or would be satisfied and in any event
no state interference would be interposed -
posed unless time constituted authorities -
ties of that county slmould ask for such
assistance.
j Against this , hotxcver , is the statement -
ment made last night by Brigadier
General Taylor , after a long confer-
euce with the governor :
The fight will not occur at hot
Springs nor in Arkansas. There is no
doubt on that score. "
"Not even in a modified way , as now
proposed ? '
"No sir. "
"What will be the effect of the court
proceedings , if favorable to the fight ,
on the proposition to mass the militia
at hot. Springs ? '
"I don't feel at liberty to discuss
that phase of the question. Ny duty
is to carry out orderS , whether righter
or wrong , but I believe the orders the
Governor may issue will be right. "

NEW Yoiur , Oct. 19.-Ex Chamnpion
John L. Sullivan said of the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons matter that time fight
might come off and that it might
not. Asked whether he lead any
choice between the two men he rc-
plied that he had not , but thought it
would be a great fight. "I wish in my
heart to see it come. oft , " said lie ,
"as the future of boxing depends
on its final outcome. They are
knocking the game out all over the
country , but it will rise again as sure
as you live. Fitzsimmons and Corbett
are good fellows and they should
be allowed to box. l\'hen I was in
the game , they never objected. I suppose -
pose that was because 1 was a good
fellow. Who do I think will win ?
Well , as I said , I have no choice in the
matter. It will be a fight for keeps ,
and both men will do their level best
to win. Corbett is a clever man , and
so is Fitz. They Icnoty how to use
their hands and they are no novices at
the game. Iitzsimmons is said to be
a hard hitter ; so is Corbett. He can
hit as good as any one and I am sure i
ought to know. How long do I think
it will last ? Well , to be plain , I have
not the slightest idea. I should go
about twenty rounds if anything. The
men w ill'fight cautiously at fiat , but
will no doubt take timings seriously as
soon as they have sized each other up.
I have no idea of returning to the
ring- . "

\VAsIIINOTON , Oct. I9-Arong high ;
ecclesiastics hero it is felt that the--
arch-
no e's letter to the American
urging - non-particiPatlon by
Catholics in "promiscuous religious
" a question of - ,
congresses" opens up {
more b importance than the sectarian.V
time Cahensley movement -
school question ,
which have a , ;
ment , or the other issues
u
been presented in recent year. '
'
It is said that the Pope's opposition z
to the religious congresses does not.
affect the Catholic church alone , but
has a hearing on the entire movement
towmmrtl Christian unity , wllicll began , 1
in England , and has spread through
this country , the purpose ofwhich l waste
to harmonize all divergent sects on
non-essentials , bringing them together
of Chris-
on the one essential tenet
tianity. 'ilo broader sentiulent found
expression in the attendance of Cardinal -
dinal Gibbons at the congress of re-
ligigns at Chicago. At that time Mgr. .
Satolli was in Chicago , but took no
part to the congress. The Cardinal's
paper and subsequent magazine arti- 1
Iles , showing the common grounds on
which all sects might stand , attracted
much attention.
The language of the pope's letter i
said to leave no room for doubt as to '
the position of Rome on time holdingg
of congresses , or time broader question
of church unity , as the following cli-
rect statement makes clear : "But.
although these promiscuous conventions -
tions have unto this day been tolerated -
ated with prudcnS silence , it would.
nevertheless seem more advisable that.
Catholics should hold their conventions - # f
tions separately. " It is said that this.
statement is so direct as not to be
open to misinterpretation , and doubt is {
expressed as to lime very liberal interpretation - 1
pretation placed by Archbishop Ireland -
land on such a clear statement from
the pope. It is believed also that if f
there is any mnisunderstanding or {
broad interpretation given to the
pope's language , he will speedily issue
a second letter 1
