The members of the Republican Judicial Com mittee of the 10th judicial district are hereby re quested to meet at the office of Hartman & Dry den, Kearney, Neb., at 2 o'clock p. m. on the 30th day of July, 1887, for the purpose of calling a conTention to place in nomination a judge for aid district ana to transact snch other business as may properly come before the meeting. The members are earnestly requested to be present. J. P. Habtxan, Chairman. E. A. Cook, Secretary. Custer county is the fourth in the State in the number of Repub lican votes cast, and has sixteen delegates in the State Convention. Speaking of McGlynn, seems to us the associated press is giving this tool of Henry Georgeism too much prominence. Give him a rest, and 0, give us a rest. The neome or bidnev have mi- posed an occupation tax on nearly every business carried on in the vil lage, the lawyers being exempt. The Telegraph thinks this is showing partiality. Dr McGlynn was invited to Rome to see the Pope. He wouldn't go and so his Holiness excommuni cated the Rev. Father from the Church. If the Pope will invite us to visit him we will go, and make no fuss about it either. Some time since The Tribune referred to the large number of claims for damages on account of roads that had been filed with the County Clerk; the amount now being 6,322.10. In some of these cases the board has probably "got its foot in it," .and will have to par or vacate the roads. Of course if this policy of paTing such enormous prices for roads is continued it will bankrupt the county, and a new plan must be adopted. The people want roads and must have them, but there is a limit to the ability of the county to purchase. That limit seems to have been reached at 6,000. Draw the line right there, Mr. Commissioners. Kocken, Capt. J. D. Jackson, and John Hawley. Here is a list of most excellent gentlemen, and we apprehend the convention will have considerable work in making a choice. Maj. Woodhurst is one of the pioneers of the county, having served one term as sheriff in early and stormy times, and was afterwards warden of the penitentiary. He has al ways been a wheel-horse in the Republican party, his superior judgment and foresight being al ways sought in party councils. W. C. Elder is a farmer residing in Medicine precinct, at present filling the important office of justice of the peace. He was a Union soldier and is a member of the Grand Army. In party harness he always pulls true and is an excellent work er. Fred C. Spanuth resides near the head of Warren valley in the east part of the county, where he has an excellent farm. He is post master of the office bearing his name, and has a wide circle of friends. A. 0. Kocken is one of North Platte's oldest citizens, hav ing carried on the business of mer chant tailor for many years. He has we believe never held office, but has been a consistent and ear nest party worker. His personal friends are warm and steadfast, an index of personal popularity. Capt. Jackson is well known to most people, having been in the grocery business here for a number of years. He is a member of the Grand Army and as a Union soldier has a most excellent record. John Hawley has occupied the po sition of justice of the peace in this city for a number of years, and is also extensively known as the prop rietor of the Hawley House, being one of the most popular landlords of thevcity, demonstrating: that "he knows how to keep a hotel." The call for the State Conven tion reminds lis that another elec tion is approaching. The officers to be elected by the State are one associate justice of the supreme court and two regents for the Uni versity. In this (the 10th) judi cial district a judge is to be elected Throughout the State, countv offi cers are to be elected, with the ex ception of county attorney, and of course the greater interest centers upon the local tickets. In this county, excepting for the office of county clerk, there are a number of candidates for nomination by the Republican convention, but at this time it will only be necessary to refer to those for treasurer and sheriff, it being conceded that Mr. Evans will be renominated and 1 1 1 1 1 Tt 1 eiecwju county cierK. ueiow we p it t give tue names or tnose wnom we have heard mentioned in connection with these offices,simply prefacing that this paper expects to support the nominees of the convention heartily, doing all in its power to secure their election, and does not wish to be understood as favoring one more than the other. For the office of county treasurer we have heard three names men tioned: W. T. Chadwick, C. E. Osgood and C. H. Stamp. Mr. Chad wick is a locomotive engineer and has been on the road ten or twelve years. A straight, consistent Re publican, he is industrious and de serving, and is one of our most re spected citizens. Mr. Osgood is a farmer and stock grower, having a fine ranch five miles south of the city. In the session of 1S85 he represented the county in the lower house of the legislature, and in the fall of that year was a candidate for treasurer. He is the president of the count' agricultural society, in which body he is an energetic worker. Chas. H. Stamp is a mach inist and works in the railroad shops of this city. He is the pres ent secretar- of the Bepublican County Central Committee, being one of the best and most enthusi astic party workers. He has served one term as city treasurer, keeping well posted in financial matters. The office of sheriff seems to be more attractivegthan the others and competition for the nomination will be quite lively. Those whom we have heard mentioned for the office are: Maj. Woodhurst, W. C. Elder, Fred. C. Spanuth, A. 6. The Infer Ocean commends the wisdom of its Democratic con tern- 1 -ww - porarv, tne Umalia lierakt. It reads the Republican party a sound lecture for making any reference to the past history of the parties, and closes with this ringing classic sen tence: "The present aee is the acre of the living; the issues must be issues of to-day, not of retrospec tion, but prospection." It is the wisest platform the democratic, par- tv can build upon. The. more thev can make the people forget of the past ot the party the better. The "retrospection is"gloomy. The question will be asked by many, is mere mucn nope in tne "prospec- tion witnout being "born again ? Work was commenced on the central or main building for the soldiers' and sailors' home near the city to-day. The B. & M. is put ting m a side track tor delivering material on the site, and the work will be pushed with all possible vigor. Both brick and stone are now on the way, the brick coming: from Kearuer via the Hastings and Aurora over the B. &. M., and the stone from the B. & M. line south. Both Colonel Hammond command ant and Mr. Scott the contractor, are on the ground looking after the work and pushing it forward to the best ot their ability, and the insti tution will be in good hands Grand Island Independent. A somewhat unlooked for action has been brought by E. Nagle, re ceiver tor the nrm ot bwaii Bros against the tirst National bank of this city. The bank, to whom the Swans owed 83,000, sued out an attachment against the firm but it failed to hold. Now, Mr. Nagle, claiming that the bank, under its charter, could loan but 20.000, or 10 per cent, of its capital to a single individual or firm, and that in con sequence its loan of 83,000 was illegal beyond the sum of 20,000 The receiver now sues to recover the difference from the bank for the benefit of creditors with some prospect of recovering the same. This will, should it win, reduce the indebtedness of the firm 63,000 and give that much more, for which the bank is said to hold full collateral security, to be divided among the firm's creditors. Chey enne Stock Journal. Without any disrespect to the office of chief magistrate of the na tion, the Salt Lake Tribune thinks it only fair to saT that President Cleveland's address on the respect due that office, delivered at Clinton lately, was mostly, in the lexicon of the compositor, "hog-wash." It was turbling and bungling in dic tion, and through it the ran a strain of complaint which is unworthy of any incumbent of the office, Presi dent Cleveland has less real grounds for complaint of the treatment the people have given him than any other president. Wrong on a mul titude of vital issues, he has never been more than gently criticised, except where his acts have permit ted nothing less mild than denun ciation, tip to seven years ago he had achieved no higher fame than that of a Buffalo ward politition . His existance was quite unknown to quite fifty-nine and a half out of every sixty ot his countrymen. Considering all the facts, it does not require a speech from him to im press upon the people the respect due omce ot president. We must Pay for keeping the Insane. A snort time ago tne county t-ierK re ceived the following notice from the Attorney General The amount claimed is creater than was supposed was due, as several patients have been charged to this county who did not legally belong horo. Nearly every county in the state is delinquent and if they owe an amount corresponding to their population, the hospital will have a half million dollars coming to it. Judging from this, keep ing a hotel of this kind must be a mighty prontablo business. It is likely that relief will bo sought from the next legislature. Att'v Uknis Okfick ) Lincoln, April 27, '87.

The storm of Friday shook our town people up in general, blowing Dr. Williams' store off the foundation and scattering Howard Bros, lumber over section or two. The latest arrival in this neighborhood as a permanent settler is a new girl, ilr. and Mrs. Hayden are the happy parents Mr. Albert AViIsey of Hamilton county is nere looking up a gram location. we understand that ho is thinking strongly of locating in Wallace. We hope that some good crain man will locate here as we have considerable of grain that must be disposed of. The Fair Haven S. S. Festival held last Thursday evening proved a financial success. Mr. Reynold and Charley, "the Dutch man" had their crops badty damaged by hail Saturday. No other crops in the neighborhood were damaged. Five self-binders are running in this vicinity and yet the farmers can't get their grain cut fast enough : oats is much better than was expected, taking from two to two and a half pounds per acre to bind them . What we need now is a cood thresher to do our threshing. l oung ladies are scarce, items scarcer, and babies scarcest. AqmcoiA. Garfield Precinct.

The wheat crop here is little more than half crop, though what there is of it the grain is good and plump Oats will not average half a crop ; they are thin on the ground and very short straw. Some parties are mowing theirs for hay. The crop of early potatoes is short on account of dry weather, but the late rains will help the late planting . mere nas oeen considerable nax sown in this precinct this season ; think it will do well in ordinary seasons. There has been some eight or ten wind milla and pumps erected in this vicinity this spring and summer and several new wells have been dug, affording an abund anee of water. We notice the Garfield wind mill has changed location, it is now pumping water for Cyrus. The click of the Binder, the Header and the Mower can be distinctty heard in this yicinity almost night and day and pome times on Sunday. Owing to the high winds of last week some pieces of wheat have shattered out enough to seed the ground ; hence the haste to get it in shock. Our village blacksmith shop has changed hands, but the good work still goes on and Jake will have more time to thump the hogs. G. S. Topham has gone to the Bow on business. Date Auble and family returned Wednesday from a visit in Valley county ; he reports crops splen did in that county. The ex-soldiers of Garfield held a camp fire at the school house last Wednes day evening and had a splendid time in general. The program consisted of music, speaking, telling army stories of camp life, battles and prison pens, and supper of beans, crackers, boneless pork, coffee, etc. The entertainment closed about eleven P. M. by singing about a hundred and fifty j'ards of the song, John Brown. The boys say they intend "having another round up before long. i ours, Feitox. Renews Her Youth. Sire. Phoebe Chesley, Peterson, Clny Co., Iowa, tells tho following remarkable story, tho truth o which is vouched for by residents of the town "I nm 73 years old, have been troubled with kid ney complaint and lameness for many years; conld not dress myself without help. Now I am free from all pain and soreness, and am able to do all my own housework. I owe my thanks to Electric Bitters for having renewed my youth, and. removed completely all disease and pain."

Boughman, who lives about nine miles northwest of this city, followed his master to Plum Creek Decoration day. On the way home Mr. B. says the dog followed him within a mile and a half of the house and there he saw him chasing a rabbit. He paid no attention to the dog, but noticed when he got home the dog had not followed him. He did not come home for several days and he was thought lost. On the Fourth of July some men were driving along the" same road and they heard a noise at one side of the road. They went in the direction of the noise where they found an old well, 30 feet deep, in which they found the dog, which when chasing the rabbit, had fallen in and lived five weeks without food or water. Plum Creek Pioneer. AN EPIDEMIC. A well-digger on 19-9-39, while digging a well for A. O. Stockton struck water at a depth of 130 feet. He was industriously picking away at the rock when suddenly the water and gravel flew into his face with great force, stunning and al- ost blinding him, but, recovering and calling to the windlassmen at the top, he was hastily drawn be yond danger, as the water in less than two minutes had risen 10 feet in the well.

Two Nebraska murderers under sentence of death, have escaped jail, and thus escaped punishment, Sinmierman at Minden, and Bohan an at Nebraska City, and Olive, also under sentence of death for the most brutal murder ever com mitted in this or any other state, escaped by reason of technicalities. This uncertainty of punishment, is what leads to the frequency of the 1 terms or court held by .Judge Lynch, who permits no reprieve, stays of execution or escapes on technical grounds.
