The following states will vote
for state officers in November: Iowa,
Kentucky, Maryland, Massachu
setts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New
lork, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
Virginia.
The greatest source of comfort
to the populists is the fact that
they can put what they please into
their platforms without making
their chances of success any
smaller.
The only state officers to be
elected this fall are one iudsre of
the supreme court and two regents
of the State University. Chief
Justice Norval seem to have no op
position ana ins re-nomination is
cenerally conceded. The retirni"-
regents are Morrill and Knight.
Every sound money man should
remember that the question is not
one of the gold standard or of free
silver in the common sense, but of
bimetallism pure and simple. Under
bimetallism all industries and all
classes can strive. A single stan
dard, either of gold or silver, will
be injurious to the country. Stand
up for honest bimetallism and sound
money. Kearney Hub.
Spain has already contracted a
debt ot $120,000,000 to stirpress the
Cuban insurrection and has hardty
made a start towards suppressing
it. She has also sacrificed a great
many lives and continues
to pour Spanish soldiers by thou
sands into Cuban death traps, with
the insurrection spreading ever'
hour. It is a struggle in which
Spain can neither afford to lose nor
win. To lose would be a severe
blow to her revenues and to win
would caipple her almost if not quite
beyond financial recovery.
Edison denies that he has been
experimenting on an electrical
attachment for bicycles. He does
admit, however, that he has attach
ed a spring to his wheel with satis
factory results. With this device
the rider turns a little switch when
he rides down hill -and the move
ment of the wheel will wind up a
powerful spring which materially
assists the rider in mounting the
next hill. It is simpler and better
than any electrical device that is
likely to be produced for some time

The results of many tests point to
the conclusion that corn husked in

The Nebraska weather-crop bul
letin for the week ending July 8th
is as follows: The rainfall has been
quite deficient throughout the state,
being generally less than half an
inch, while in some localities none
at all fell. In the extreme south
eastearn portion of the state the
winter wheat is mostly cut and
some threshing has been done. The
yield is light, being generally less
than half a crop. Oats are fast
ripening in the southern portion of
the state by reason of dry weather
and in some localities they are fir
ing somewhat: generally tlic yield
promises to be light. In some of
the southwestern counties they are
partically a total failure and are
being cut for hay. In the north
eastern section of the state where
the raintall has been abundant and
growth rapid, the oats are ripening
slowly and the yield both of grain
and straw promise to be abundant.
Corn has made rapid growth dur
ing the week although there is
much difference in the stage of its
development owing to earlj- and
late planting and in many cases to
the necessity of replanting. Much
of it has been cultivated for the
last time and some of the earliest

ivx-President Harrison is re

Now that the free silver craze has

Joseph Baldwin of Austin, Tex.,
treated the subject of "Patriotism of
the Southland." He said tha people of
the south rejoice today that the lost
cause is a lost cause. The great ques

Floor at Atlantic City
With the Elks.
Atlantic City, N. J., July 11.
Mayor Stoy reports this morning that
all those injured by the collapse of the
floor of tho Casino during the social
session of the Elks last night are doing
well. Nobody is dead, he says, and no
body is likely to die.
A conservative estimate places the
number of wounded at close to 200. Tho
only one in immediato danger of death
is Frederick Claproth of Camden. The
report that both Claproth and Mrs.
Rockwell of Philadelphia were dead is
untrue. Mrs. Rockwell was only
slightly injured. All night the doors of
the hospital were besieged with anxious
inquireri, but before daybreak all of the
injured had been located at hotels and
hospitals by their friends and relatives.
The accident was caused by the col
lapse of the second floor of the building
immediately over the refreshment pavil
ion. Just previous to the crash, Jen
nings' baud had began to play for the
Elks and the majority of the people
were thus attracted to the upper floor.
But for this thero would have been great
loss of life.
Tooled Minister Bust Is.
Pakis, July 11. The Figaro publishes
a statement from Ambassador Eustis, in
which tho latter says: "The fact is now
recalled to my memory that Secretary
Vignand introduced M. Routier to mo
on May 13, not as a journalist but as a
writer. According to my custom I had
a conversation with him, but I certain
ly did not authorize M. Routier to pub
lish it. He did not tell me he had such
an intention, and if he had I should
have taken the necessary precautious.
Indeed I should have forbidden him, as
would have been by duty, to divulge
anything of our conversation. I did not
use the language that he attributes to
me, and I do not understand why M.
Routier thonght he had tlje right to in
vite me to discuss delicate questions of
international policies."

of the Christian Endeavor. Hundreds
were unable to gain admission to the
auditorium, which holds 15,000. The
stage portion reserved for the speakors
was occupied by one section of tho
chorus of nearly 1,000 voices. This
chorus started songs of praise untU
President Clarke appeared on the plat
form. The advent of tho founder and loader
of the Christian Endeavor meeting was
a signal for the outburst of tremendous
applause, which continued for several
minutes.- At 9:30 o'clock President
Clark called the convention to order. At
the close of his address Governor Green
halge was escorted to the stage. Tho
audience greeted him with the Chau
tauqua salute, thousands of handker
chiefs being waved from all parts of the
hall as he took his seat.
Hon S. B. Capen, chairman of the
committee of 95, then made tho address
of welcome in behalf of the committee.
Over 6,000 delegates crowded Tent En
deavor. Crimson and white streamers
waved all over the tent, tho bnnting be
ing draped from the great center pole of
the great tent. Flags and colors of all
nations interspersed the streamers, and
aided, by their variety, the grand scene.
Upon the platform at the extreme end
the grand chorns of 500 and the speak
ers and prominent members of the so
ciety were seated. Beforo the time for
the opening of the service arrived the
chorns and delegates spontaneously
started an Endeavor hymn. Other songs
followed, and the music was almost
continuous until the Rev. T. E. Breck
ley, D. D., of New York, opened, the
meeting according to the program by
announcing the first hymn, "Onward
Christian Soldiors." At the conclusion
of the hymn Rev. W. H. Albright of
Boston read a passage from the scrip
ture hud then, asking for the earnest
co-operation of all tho delegates in the
opening session, called for testimony by
delegates. For 15 minutes, from alt
parts of tho house, came words of praise
to the Almighty and good tidings to the
Endoavor society. Mr. Breckley was
forced to announce tho next number bo
fore all who desired had testified. He
called attention to the bannor which
hung over his head, inscribed "For
Christ and the Church, Weloome," and
exhorted his hearers as they raised their
voices to bear in mind that they should
never forget to work for Christ and His
church.
The Rev. J. K. Cheesemau of Cleve

tary, John Willis Baer of Boston. The
session then adjourned.
It is estimated that almost 24,000 dele

VYOOmVABIS STO BY.
Cubar War Correspondent Arrives In Netv
York.
New York, July 11. Frank Wood
ward, the Cubar war correspondent, ar
rived today ou tho steamer Ardandhu
from Gibara, apparently none tho worse
for his trying experiences in Cuba.
Woodward, after many weeks of hard
shiDS, managed to reach Gibara. Ho
proceeded immediately to the United
States consular agency, where he met
Jose H. Beola, a Spaniard, who is not
only in the United States consular ser
vice but an officer in the Spanish army.
Beola, Woodward asserts, treated him
in a most discourteous manner. He was
compelled to seek tho protection of the
British flag aboard the tramp steamer
Ardandhu, and through the kindness of
Captain Walker managed to reach home
alive. Beola, Woodward says, refnsed
to recognize him as an American citi
zen, and declared that all American re
porters were paid by the Cubans to
write lies.
Woodward tells the following story
of the death of General Marti of the Cu
ban army. While Marti, with about 200
Cubans, was reconnoitering in the vicin
ity of Gibara he fell in with a force
of Spanish troops numbering 2,000 men,
who were drawn upon the banks of a
small river. The insurgent scouts were
about to retreat, when Marti ordered a
charge. The Spaniards, taken by sur
prise, soon formed a square. General
Marti, mounted on a large gray stallion,
which he spurred furiously into a gal
lop, charged madly on the Spanish
square, breaking down their ranks. The
horse became unmanageable and
plunged violently, goaded and pierced
by the Spanish bayonets. Marti was
dragged from his horse and'bayonetted.
Martl's Death Avenged.
Havana, July 11. It is said in insur
gent circles that Colonel Sandoval, who
commanded the Spanish troopi who sur
prised and killed Jose Marti, has been
captured by a flying column of guerillas
commanded by General Jose Maceo.
Sandoval was immediately accorded a
courtmartial, speedily condemned for
treason against the Cuban republic and
of the murder of its chief and sentenced
to be shot. The sentence was carried
out and the body buried. A mark was
placed upon the grave.
