The Chicago Telephone Co. has drawn the line at their feminine employees wearing the bloomer costume. The dear girls are qui etly disregarding the order. This year ' tne.- wool cup in tne united fctates?is tnirty-one minion pounds less than last year; evidence .. - . . .... .... that the wool industry is rapidly declining unaer democratic tariff j reform. A Fhontier county "pop" pa per wishes to wager 10 to l tnat the devil .is a politician. In order to be precisely correct it should have further said that he is proba bly of the populist variety. The Gandy Pioneer is of ;the opinion that H. M. Grimes, of this city, possesses the three requisite, viz: integrity, competency -and popularity, to make campaign this fall a successful for district judge.. . At a political party ball game at Stockville last week, the republi cans mader twenty-two earned runs while the populists manasred to make but seven scores from off the errors of their opponents. Is this a straw? There be people in, Ne braska who think such is the case. Speaker Crisp says that W. C. Whitney is the most available man !for the democratic standard bearer next year. The latter and "our Chauncey" assert positively that Grover the great is the only indi vidual .to whom this banquet ot -Dead Sea fruit should be tendered, The British government has party of civil engineers running out the lines between Alaska and England's possessions. Be care ful of trespassing, John, for next year there will be elected a federal administration that will .not stand any monkeying with Un cle Sam's line fences.- . 'Little Jim Soversign's proposed ('boycott by the K. of L. against U. S. national bank notes proved to be just as ineffectual as the boycott a couple ot years ago against the product of a bigTSt. Louis brewery. hKuights of Labor are by no means fools if Jimmy does continue to is sue proclamations to the order upon that theory. The democratic state convention at Lincoln last Thursday was largely attended, nearly all of the 643 delegates entitled to seats be-1 ing present. The delegate from this city .nominated T. J. Mahoney, of Omaha, for judge of the supreme court, and that gentleman became the candidate without opposition. hMr. Mahoney will be third man in the finish. W. L. Greene, of Kearney, who is perhaps the greatest political demagague in the state, has been nominated by the populists for judge of the Twelfth judicial dis trict. Although the pops have had a majority in tne district at past elections, it would seen easy work for the republicans to turhHown such a man as Greene. The question, Mr. Kicker," does not consist in drawing" an ltnagi- nary parallel between this paper and the diseased figment of a dis ordered French brain, induced by an overindulcfence in the seductive absinthe. The principal point, at issue is did you or did you not en deavor, with malice aforethought, lo steal this apparent favorite vol ume from the public library? To the Era's correspondent at Hershey: The Tribune is confident that the pop party ot Lincoln county is already dead, but this journal wants to assist in burying- it so deep this fall that the purifi cation of its remains will not pol lute the otherwise pure air. With this end in view The Tribune will have considerable to say for the next few weeks. Drop in and subscribe. It is hard for an American to ad-1 mit that he has showed his heels to brother J. Bull, yet as has been the customary practice lor many vears in the international j'acht race last Saturday the Yankee boat out- sae(i the English craft almost te minutes in a thirty-mile! course. When tne aforesaid J. Bull, Esq., wishes to procure a world-beater in the way of a sail- yessel he must get it built in America. The Iyincolu county populists will hold their convention on the 28th inst.. one week after the re publicans have put in the .field the winning- picket. The slate made j by the pop whipcrackers of .

Oae of tke Sad Xeatares of the MicIiIgiD , vMIhs Horror. HOUQHTO, 34ich., Sept. 9. Huge volumes of smoke Btill issuing from the mouths of shafts Nos. 1, 2 and S show that the awful fire which started in the Osceola copper mine shortly before noon Saturday ia. still burning fiercely and the bodies of the 90 miners entombed are still lying somewhere below the surface without a doubtr dead, suffocated by smoke and gas. Besides those al ready reported, the following men have been found to be among the missing: Frederick Peardon, Isaac Harlow, Mike Vbc, Isaac Mattison, Andrew Rossa wick, James Wins. M. Cook and Sam uel Williams. Five Polacks, whose names are un known at headquarters, are also missing, At the time the alarm was sounded over 200 were under ground and all could have escaped had they used proper precautions. Several miners in tne nignc passed a group or seven or eight men who had stopped to rest and were smoking their pipes. When told to hurry to the surface they remarked they had plenty of time and not one reached the surface. The skips were kept running up and down all day Sat urday in order to give any of the en tombed miners a chance to escape if they could reach the skip alive, but none came up. Another attempt will bo made to reach the men in the morn ing. There is no danger or tne Doaies beincr burned, as it is generally thought the men escaped from the shaft to some - i of the drifts leading to other shafts and were overcome by gas and smoke before they could reach a place of safety. This being the case the bodies will be recov ered as soon as the fire is gotten under control and the eases cleared out of the mine. The shaft has been surrounded by thousands of people, all hoping that some sign or word would be gotten from the men, but have returned to their homes, fearing the worst. Jaclc tho Blpper Murder. .

At the Gault house, the head quarters oi tne national omcers are beautifully decorated, and elaborate ar rangements were made for receptions during the day. While the reception of the commander-in-chief and his staff was the most imposing event of the dayr the, receptions at the depots of G. A. R. posts and veterans arriving in other groups were equally interesting. Special trains arrived as fast as they could be handled at the depots, and the local escorts were kept busy. Many veterans recognized old comrades at the depots From early morning and throughout the day drum corps were heard in all directions as the veterans were being escorted to their respective headquarters on their arrival. Reports from all the railroads indicate that the roads are full of extra trains, and the arrangements here are certainly equal to the enter tainment of all that are coming. Fifty Thousand on the Ground. The railroads estimated that up till noon today tney have carried 50,000 people into Louisville. The railroads antioipate their rush will be during the next 5?4 hours, as most of the visitors will be here for the naval parade to morrow lnornmg. Tne bsg G. A. R. parade occurs on Wednesday morning.
