STEVENS &BARE, EwTOKsisTDPROPS. SATURDAY, MAY 5,, 1866. Republican State Convention. The republican electors ot the state o Nebras ka are requested to send delegates from the ecTeral coontie to meet in convention, at the city of Omaha, Tuesday, May 15. 1888, at 8 o' clock p. m., for the porpoee of electing four delegates at-large to the national republican convention, which meets in Chicago, J nun 19. 1888. .'

And being a good democrat himself he ought to know. So the four happy Cleveland boy's broke up their party at the usual hour singing: f We won't go home 'till Morning We won't go home 'till, Morning We won't go home 'till Morning For Hinman pays the freight. An exchange sums up Grover Cleveland in the following fashion: "It is short and not very sweet: (1) starts out. as a civil service reformer: (2) abandons all attempts to reiorm tne civil service; d) ve toes over 1QQ private pension bills, Uhedepehtend ftfVt : 'Sr"--?

Making the representation of each county approximately as follows: , , x , (Lincoln County is entitled to 8 delegates.) It is recommended that no proxies be admitted to the convention except such as are held by per sons residing in the counties from which proxies are given- H. W. Mathews. E. H. Barnard, Secretary. Chairman. The President has appointed Melvelle W. Fuller of Chicago to be chief justice of the supreme court. Mr. Fuller is spoken of as a fine lawyer, and he has a political record that is acceptable to the countrv. A, -X; i The Democratic State conven tion selected the following gentle men delegates to the National Con vention in St. Louis: Boyd, Morton, Castor, North, Sherwin, and Rea gan. Of course the delegation is for "our Grover." The late Chas. H. Van Wyck is lecturing on agriculture in North ern Nebraska, whereupon his par ticular friend the Tecumseh Chief tain remarks that "he has no other aim on earth than to enlighten the farmers." We have an idea that Van is aiming to again warm a seat in the senate. The Democratic county- -convention to select delegates to the state convention at Omaha was not a very numerously attended meeting, but there was harmony and a unani mous feeling for "our Grover," that was bland-like and pleasant to be hold. If there was any opposition to Grover, those entertaining sen timents of that character were care ful not to moke them manifest. Major Risse was called to the chair, whereupon the following gentle men were selected to attend the convention: B. I. Hinman, W. L. McGee, Lou Graves, J. M. Dyer and T. Kelly supposed to be four for Cleveland and one "ferninst" the fat man. A new county com mittee was then selected, leaving Maj.. Snelling and "our Grover" Walsh out in the cold, John Owens, John Treacy and others not liking the way things had been run. The new committee, we .understand, will elect its own chairman. HINMAN PAYS THE FREIGHT. Eds. Tribuxe: On my way down to the court house to hear Attorney Snelling try his first case to a jury, I overheard one of the "Cleveland" Democrats say "Beach Hinman pays the freight." Not caring to hear more than I had to, I passed right along. Upon reach ing the court house and hearing Snelling's telling argument, and the case being closed, some one asked 44Where is the Democratic Conven tion." As reporters are everywhere of course there was one present to tell all about this harmonious body. Seven is the number reported pre sent and five were all that could go as delegates. Four Cleveland Dem ocratic delegates are elected and Beach Hinman is the other. Now how is it that Hinman is allowed to go? Has he not declared himself against Cleveland in terms emphatic, times without number, and'forgoocl cause? Has he not been a delegate every year for the past twenty? For his substantial aid to the party has he been allowed to eat any pie except crow pie? Has he not al ways paid the election expenses for his party in this end of the state, even up to the last election, when he ran on the temperance ticket for member of the school board? Right here a light dawns and makes plain the strange expression I heard while going to the court house. Hinman is allowed to go as delegate because he can do no harm he will be allowed to eat nothing but crow but "Hinman pays the freight," Then why not send Snelling as a delegate? He was defeated last fall it is true, but he had big odds to fight against. That man dosen't live in the county; that has done or can do more for his party in a cam paign when the still hunt is on. and messages : ( irofders thereturn' of; rebel flags ; (5) 'hears from ;tha country and revokes the order: (0)1 he swings round the circle as a can didate for renominatibn. forgetting his one term declaration in his let ter of acceptance; (7) sends a free trade message to congress; (8) calls into his cabinet more spoilsmen to help run his campaign; (9) encour ages federal office holders to become more perniciously active; (10) wants to be re-elected on this re cord." The republican national conven tion will be composed of 822 dele gates as follows: Delegates at large, 152; district, 650; territorial, 18; District of Columbia, 2, It will require 412 delegates to nominate a candidate for president, and no as pirant claims that he will go into the convention with that number.

The school in District No. 42, is taught by Miss Nora Allison, and is making as good progress as circum stances will permit. There is scarcely" any furniture of any de scription in the school, not even seats enough to properly accomo date the children. There should be a black-board and at least a map of the United States. Board canvass can be procured at a reasonable cost and should be purchased without delay. In District 28, the school is now in session with Albert Blougher, as teacher, who is giving good satis faction to the patrons. There are some parties in the district who positively refuse to send their chil dren to school, and the result is, complaint has been filed against one of them under the compulsory school law of the state of Nebraska. The result of this suit will be watched with considerable interest as, so far as we know, it is the first case of the kind under that law. Misfc Mollie Heed is teaching an excellent school in District No. -23, and although they are entirely lack ing of apparatus, the teacher is ever ready to supply the want by draw ing maps herself and in other wajrs. The Director has ordered black board canvass and a map of the United States. On the Dutch Flats, the school is under the management of Her bert Covell who is "teaching the young idea to shoot" in a very ef ficient manner. By the time the young man finishes the school he expects to be a full fledged German. The Wallace school, two miles south of that town, has for teacher Mrs. Hattie Nation who is a pains taking and energetic teacher, capa ble and willing to do good work. Miss Nettie Fisher teaches the school southeast of Wallace in Dis trict No. 46, and has done all in her power io benefit the children who attend. The discipline is good and her method of teaching up to the standard. Blank certificates of taxes levied have to-day been mailed to over thirty school directors who have failed to make their report. They are requested by the superintendent, on receipt of this blank,to fill it out at once and return to him ivithout delay, otherwise no taxes for school purposes will be collected and the 'H.Keeler was nl anting -corn 1 L 1 'TT" i I' i--0.' ..V Ti , ares wnxrcnjRroeiiev-BS 3n. oemg ooss or nis wonr instead or tne work being boss of him. r Charles Wood, a traveling preach er, made his semi-annual call to this neighborhood last week.

"No," was the reply, "but it just poured through by the gallon." Mr. Walker lost a valuable horse one day this week. A good veterin ary surgeon would find good em ployment in this neighborhood. Mr.N Broderick who has a tree claim in our neighbornood, is with us permanently. Charley Newsou has purchased a bran new corn planter arid will farm in style in the future. The special call for a school meeting was a failure, the same as the annual meeting. We should take" more interest in our school meetings and not let a few have everything to do and then kick if it doesn't suit, but come out to a man and say what you have to say at the annual meetings. There was a dance at J. B. Tridle's Wednesday evening. All enjoyed themselves, but the ladies were in the majority, an uncommon occurance for this part of Nebraska. " The Melton boys have just re turned from Blackwood, where they have been planting trees on a tree claim. James Cooper has just completed his wire fence which will be a great improvement over close herding liis cattle. Tender Foot. - Keeler, April 27th. How Men Die. If we know all re methods of approach adopted by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward oft the danger and postpone the moment when surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances the inherent strength of the body suf fices to enable it to oppose the tendency toward dentli. Many, however, have lost these forces to such an extent that there is little or no help. In other cases a little help to the weakened lungs will make all tho difference between sadden death and many years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms of a cough, cold or any trouble of the throat or lungs, give that old and "well known remedy Boscheo'e German Syrup, a care ful trial.
