OUR SPECIAL POLICE.
Ed. Tiwbuxe: I think a word should
bo said for our city marshals. Nevor in
tho history of North Platto has a big
crowd been handled with so little fric
tion as during tho reunion last week.
There was no blow or bluster, but a
quiet, careful, and I judge, systematic
caro for tho welfare and safety of the
citizens and guests. No robbery, no
fighting, and but very little drunkonness.
when tho size of the crowd is considered.
Something so unusual that I think
Messrs. Grace and McEvoy deservo tho
thanks of the citizens of North Platte.

south Platto rivers are located near this
point, and tho country tributary is well
settled and rich in agricultural resources.
The railroad company is now erecting a
station building and putting in a side
trackSand it is reported stock yards will
ha Vnult. J. T. Ularkson, ot Utiicajro, is
the owner of tho site.
Geo. A. Walker, of Osgood precinct,
threshed his grain Thursday and found
the average yield per acre to bo wheat,
31: bushels; oats, 2G bushels; rye, 34
bushels. It is thought the oats would
'have averaged 75 buphels had it not
shelled in being harvested. Mr. Walker's
corn will yield 75 bushels per acre. And
yet some people claim farming doesn't
pay
Resolved, That tho republicans of
Lincoln county hold themselves ready
to meet any assembly of men within the
county to discuss tho political situation
and will respond to any call from any
part of the county.
Resolved, That it be tho sense of
this convention that tho delegates elected

to secure the nomination of Judgo Reese
for the office of Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of Nebraska.
Tho names of T. C. Patterson, H. M.
Grimes and R. F. Forrest were placed in

central committee. Tho second ballot
resulted in the nomination of Mr. Grimes.
Several gentlemen wero called upon
and mado stirring speeches, which wero
received with wild enthusiasism.
The delegates present went homo im

THE SHAM BATTIJ1.
This important and interesting event
took place on the fair grounds Thursday
afternoon and was witnessed by a crowd
numbering thousands. It was a spirited
engagement and many of the old veterans
becamo almost as excited as when facing
tho real enemy twonty-five - or thirty
years ago. Tho old comrades had not
forgotten military disciplino or tactics,
and their bravery was equal to every
emergency. Though fighting was vigor
ous and many hand to hand engagements
took place, only cue slight accident, oc
curred, Thos. Stimson haviug a hand
somewhat lacerated when an attempt
was mado to capture a pieco of artillery.
Tho fight was highly cntercsting to the
spectators and furnished considerable
amusement for those taking part.
CAMP-FIRES.
Several camp-fires wore hold on tho
grounds, tho first ono being Wednesday
night when tho comrades wero enter
tained by several speakers from abroad,
tho meeting being in charge ofW. C.
Elder. On Thursday evening Chaplain
Lozier addressed a largo audience,
giving a very interesting talk. Thursday
noon several bushels of beans were
boiled and distributed among the
veterans in camp. This was an occasion
of much merriment and tho '"boys" over
their pots of beans rehearsed the story
of the war, their privations and the
funny incidents of campaign life. Friday
evening speeches were made by ex-senator
Van Wyck and Col. Vandervort, a
large audience being present During
tho nights small crowds of veterans
would assemble and pass hours telling
reminiscences, and so interesting wero
theso meetings that often it would bo
nearly morning before tho members
would announce that it was time to turn
in.
Friday night the usual naval engage
ment occurred and was witnessed by a
largo concourse of people.
An election of officers of the West Ne
braska Veterans' Association was held
on the grounds Friday afternoon and
resulted as follows: L. P. Derby, com

farmers will stand together for our

for themselves, and such men as Stock

plums but the porquisites and everything
there was in sight This year such
speeches wero rarely attempted, and

No poison brings death with moro
madening agony than ammonia, but that
fact does not seem to discourago tho
suicide. Tho man Harrowiiz, who dolib
rately swallowed si fatal dose ot tho drug
in Now York recently, is only ono of tho
many who have gone tho ammonia route
to death in spito of tho excruciating
pain. Dr. Blyth has recorded thirty
csises of ammonia poisoning in tho small
London district- of which lie is health
oilicor; Professor Mitchell mentions
twenty-two cases, and four havo occured
during tho chert timo Dr. Jenkins has
been connected with the coroner's office
in Now York.
Casc3 of slow poisoning from ammonia
aro of constant occurence among men
who work in its manufacture, or even in
decomposing substances which givo it
oif in considersiblc quantities. Ammonia
slowly and from day to day taken into
tho system, causes tho complexion to
looso its freshness, and tho skin of men
who get heavily impregnated with it has
a disagreeable blotched and discolored
appearance.
Taken into tho stomach from day to
day in even tho small quantities used to
adulterate food, such as baking powder,
it not only injures the complexion but
af!ac'th'e"linirig'of the stomach, ami is
the eonrco of much general ill health.
The recent rapid increase in the hse of
ammonia for various purposes, and the
consequent increase in its manufacture,
havo made it ono of the most easily
obtained poisons and, silthough even
body is familiar with it in somo form,
thorc is a surprising amount of ignoranco
of its dangerous qualities. Its use as an
adulterant in any food preparation is
simply a crime, and as a crime should bo
punished.

The death of Miller Willis, the Georgia
evangelist, revives many interesting
stories concerning his life and methods.
He was certainly the queerest charactei
that ever preached the Gospel at a camj
meeting, at which places he was gen
erally found. His pure and holy life
however, was a model for all. But about
his methods: He frequently stopped
Btrangers in the streets, and planting
himself in front of them wonld annonnc
some startling text and then disappear
leaving the man or woman to preach tht
sermon to his or her own liking.
For instance, he on one occasiot
stopped a stranger and shouted in his
ears, "This night thy soul shall be re
quired of theel" Willis vanished. But
a year afterward he met the man in an
other city. Willis had forgotten him,
but the stranger knew his man. Ap
preaching him he extended his hand and
said: "That text you shouted out sc
strangely to me on the streets of Mil
ledgeville set me to thinking. It wa.
tho means of my conversion."
On another occasion, a dark, rainj
night in winter, he passed a crowded
hotel in tho city of Charleston. Met
were lounging and smoking in the lobby.
Willis opened the door, but the little
6gure in dripping garments attracted nt
attention. Suddenly, after rapping loud
on tho floor with his heavy stick, ever
eye was turned toward him, when Willii
said, "There won't be a man in thu
house alive in fifty yeara from tonight!'
And he slammed the door and went oul
into the night.
Some time afterward he was ap
preached by a young man on a street
car, who introduced himself by saying.
"I have long desired to meet j-ou and tc

The Key of Death.
About the year 1600 a stranger named
Tebaldo established himself as a mer
chant in Venice. Soon becoming infatu
ated with the daughter of one of tht
most ancient and wealthy families he
asked her hand and was rejected, tht
young lady being already affianced.
Half crazed and thoroughly enraged bt
planned revenge. Being an excellent
mechanic ho soon evolved a most formt
dable looking key. The handle of thu
unique weapon could be easily turned.
Being turned it disclosed a spring with a
missile in the shape of a needle of ex
quisite fineness. With this weapon Te
baldo waited at the church door until
the maiden he loved passed in on tht
morning of her marriage. When the
bridegroom appeared tho desperate lover,
unperceived, sent the slender poisoned
needle into his rival's breast, and within
an honr he was dead of a "strange, baf
fling disease."
Again Tebaldo demanded the hand of
the maiden, bnt was refused. Within a
few days both her parents had died in
a very mysterious manner. Suspicion
being excited, examination was made.
and the small steel instruments found
in the flesh in both cases. One day the
maiden allowed Tebaldo an audience,
but told him that she would never be
his bride. Within an hour she was a
corpse. Tebaldo was suspected, tne icey
discovered and the culprit hanged. The
celebrated "key of death" is still shows' ,

museum. St. Louis Republic
A Convenient Ring.
The following incident happened at
Orovillo. Cal.: It was a handsome soli
taire, and she evidently desired the jew-"
eler to know that it was her engagement'
"I would like to have this ring cat;4
down to suit my finger," said the hand
some heart smasher, as she flourished
tho brilliant ring before the eyes of the
jeweler.
Tho jeweler took the ring and smiled
he had seen it before.
"1 can fix that in a minute," replied
he. Screwing a magnifying glass in hisf
eye, and taking .a small sharp pointed
instrument in his hand, he touched a
minute button on the inside of tho ring
and made it tho exact sizer saying, as hi
placed it on her finger. "You see these
rings aro made in this manner for the
reason that they are worn by so many
different people: it is a great conven
ience." The young lady sailed out of the store
burning with indignation, and the rea
son she did not fly was because she dida't
have the wings. What did she think?
You know, and it is only necessary to
state that she did not wear the ring.
Another girl has it now, bnt this time
tho jeweler was not permitted to touch
the button tho young man did it him

A De;if Mute Cow.
Alexander Skerkoff, the Russian vet
erinary surgeon, reports the case of a
deaf mute cow. She is 12 years old, of
Algava breed, belongs to a Russian no
bleman, and has never showed signs of
hearing or been known to bellow. See
ing that other cows bellow, she tries to
imitate them, stretching out her head
aud opening her mouth, not, however,
producing the least semblance to a
sound. Two of her offspring have been
curiously malformed. One had its tail
directly between the eyes; it lived but a
week. The other is a full grown cow of
5 years, with her udder in her flank,
about eight inches from her backbone.

Indian Names.
A station not very far from Pitts
burg, on the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road, has the good old English name of
Soho. In announcing it there is no op
portunity for the brakenien to disguise
the word, as he is too apt to do with the
names of other places.
As a train neared the town not long
ago the word was distinctly shouted,
and a passenger was heard to say to the
man sharing his seat:
"How many towns in this part of the
country have Indian names? Just think
of it Soho, Monongahela and Du
quesne, all near together. Youth's Companion.
