Wonder how the Era would relish an actual conversation of one of its pet candidates over the division of a "iack pot?" It migrht prove in- terestmg reading. ' That pop move to trade Burritt, Ericsson and Mrs. Franklin for republican votes for Miller and Buchanan is not proving very 'pop ular to at least some of the pops. The Omaha World-Herald has sued the Omaha Bee for $50,000 damages on account ot the pub lished statement that the former concern was insolvent. It is a good guess that the W.-H. will not get fat from off the judgment which it will be able to collect from off the Bee. It is now said Frank Hilton, ex state oil inspector has changed his politics and is at the head of a syndicate wliich contemplates the starting of a populist paper at Blair.

Hon. H.. M. Grimes, of North Platte, was nominated for district judge by the republicans at their judicial convention at Sidney, last i Saturday. In Mr. Grimes the re publicans present their best judicial timber and there is no doubt but that he will be elected. Gandv Pioneer. In a general conversation last Saturday in the county clerk's office B. I. Hinman openly stated that since the populists had shown some local strength more disreputable individuals now claimed member-1 ship in that organization than were in both the old parties. While the above is not exactly the language used, it is the idea that was ex pressed. The following is going the rounds of the press: "A Swede friend of ours came to town the other day. having quite a sum of money in sil- ver. A. inena maae the remark pioyea upon the suoject; ana to that he was a free silver man. day. the attitude of this paper is Yes," he said, "I be a free silver man to-day. Tomorrow I may have gold then I am a g-old busr; another day I have paper money; then Lam a greenbacker; and another time I have no money, then I'm a pop.' "Wiley Matthews and S. C.

X it M 1 as uie pops are turowmg every body overboard except Buchanan and Miller, in the attempt to pull the two latter through, Mr. Mat thews will not have quite so large a plurality but bis election is cer tain. Butler Buchanan's attempt by insinuation to build up his reputa- tion for honesty over that of his rival candidates will be accepted by the voters of Lincoln county for its true worth. Such Pharisaical polit- ical efforts are those of the mujr- wump (whose continual effort is. to induce the public that he is better than his neighbors), and they are never prolific of lasting results. The average voter of all political creeds has a holy horror of the mug wump.- - . . - - 1 After this fall there will be no populist organization .in .TAnccAnl The only-treasurer of Custer - o . , tyiTlf county, and it is rather difficult to guess into .which of the old parties ueeier, liantt, Buchanan and Mil- ler will attempt to enter. There is some doubt as to whether they will be welcomed by either. Reports 'from 'the country pre cincts are very flattering for the success of the entire republican ticket, and are in line with the pre diction made by this paper several months ago. The former populists are weary .of clinging to a party which promises, everything and ac complishes absolutely nothing. . The Council Bluffs Nonpareil in view of the possible dissolution of one of the Omaha dailies is en deavoring to obtain a footing in Nebraska by adding an Omaha de- partment. It will have to drop its publication of boiler plate matter , and other evidences of bucolism ere it succeeds . very greatly in the Treeplanters' state. The Nebraska supreme court has declared null and void the election of trustees for the state blind in stitution by the last legislature; and declares that the privilege of appointing these belongs to the governor. By tins decision D. W. Crane's tenure ot office will be effect ed. Gov. Holcomb could show his non-partisan spirit in no better manner than by re-appointing him to the place, as'-he-is most excel'- lently fitted for the position THE ticket nominated by the local democrats Satusdav, while com- posed of fairly good men, will not rr m,ir1i nf a w,, n.; fe .v. w.v- vuuir.Si. this fall. It is, however, probably politics for the democrats to have a party organization in viey of the dissolution of the populist party after the coming election. A dem ocratic ticket in the field will make but little, if any, difference in the majority the republican? nominees will receive. Judge Neville, T. Furioso Gantt aud J. Gusty Beeler have unanimously agreed that the editor of the Era does not know the dif ference between ariparian right and a pint of Posey county crab apple butter.

In The Tribune of Feb y 12th, 1895, will be found an editori al expression upon this matter stronger and more'extended than anything the Era has ever em- the same. If the Era will thus premeditately and maliciously lie in resrard to a matter Wherein it has so little interest, will if not much more readily do so in its sup- port of county candidates wherein lies its greatest interest, yea even its very existence? x The Era attempts to make the people believe that Newell Burritt has always kept the records of the county perfectly - straight, yet R.

I county who proved a defaulter was; a pop andiis shortage; was caused J taxing county money to pay to electioneering expenses of pop poli ticians. For this accommodation he got a second term and doubled up his shortage. He would have been put in a third time had the stealing not become too public. Then they got Huse Brown, a man reputed not very smart, but he has i proved smart enough to keep the county funds where they belong. For this disregard of the wishes of the ring, he is turned down and the one solitary honest treasurer the pops ever elected is kicked out of the back door ot the court house just because he has been honest. Callaway Courier. In plank No. 5 of the platform adopted by the popu,fet convention held at Gandy, last Saturday, at tention is challenged to ""the able and efficient. manner in which all) populist officers throughout the state have discharged the duties of their respective offices." The pop- ulistshave occasionally elected a P-ond man tn offirP W i a m W ho . . , . men tney nave given omciai posi- tions have proven inefficient, grasp- injr and in many cases dishonest, many cases You don't have to go away from Logan county to prove it. Ginn was a defaulter in the treasurer's office, largelv through inability to keep the books, and it cost Logan county something to get his books untangled. Froman worked the clerk's office for what it was worth for Froman. . For instance, in mak ing the tax list instead of listing the lands in 160 acre tracts, as had been the custom in that office, he listed in 40 and 80 acre tracts, the milk in the cocoanut being that he would receive 4 cents for each addi tional description caused by the change of method, the additional cost being paid to Froman by the county. County Cleric Williams follows the old plan, listing in 160 acre tracts where it is possible to do so. County Treasurer Smith has been found thoroughly com petent to perform the duties re quired and examination of his office by the state examiner showed ev erything in proper shape. Ginn and Froman were populist officers; Williams and Smith are republi cans. Which party crave Ivosran best officials in these i n sta n ces?- andy vP ion eer. ?The most iar-reaching lawsmt evertriedin California is on the trust fund by the federal courts. The complainants are in part stock holders and creditors of the com pany. The allegations of the vol uminous complaint against the receiversof the combined companies is full of startling announcements and vital statements as to the fail- ure of unrestrained private control. The inadequacy of the present management is emphasized and its inevitable trend towards bank ruptcy portrayed. The fight is reallv between the Farmers' Loan and Trust company and the others against the Union Pacific railway and its branches. The suit involves thirty-two branches of the Union Pacific system, as well as the main line, and the plaintiffs appear as a committee for the minority stock holders of the Oregon Railway and Navigation company, as well as for ! the Farmers' Loan and Trust com pany. The rights of plaintiffs originally accrued by reason of Frederick L. Ames' own ership of about 25,000. shares of 1 stock in the railroads in question. together with his ownership of a considerable amount of collateral trust 6 per cent bonds of the Union Pacific company.. The American Loan and Trust company holds; ?f,44i,uw ot tnese Donas, ana sev eral millions of similar bonds are i held by other plaintiffs. Though the capital stock of the Union Pacificcomnnnv is alletrprl tr ! tr - 1 i be more than $60,000,000, plaintiffs aver that its indebtedness is so great and its mis-management so apparent that its affairs ought to be administered by the federal courts. .

In- WILL KEEY PUGILISTS OUT. prompt and Decisive Step. Taken to Pre vent the Corbctt-Fitjulmnions 31111 Be in? Pulled Oft In the I u (lias Territory. Washington, Oct. 7. Commissioner. Browning of the Indian office has taken prompt and decisive steps to prevent the Corbett-Fitzsimmons prize fight taking Pkco IVhZaI prepared a letterof instructions to Agent Wisdom at Muscogee, I; T.," directing 1 to see that the laws arc enforced, and to eject forcibly any intruders who may enter, the Indian country for the nuroose of creatine a disturbance or of engaging, in-anything that may bo detri mental to the Indians. The commis sioner says that the statutes of the United States are ample to cover the situation and to prevent the fight. The agent will have at his hack not only the Indian policy, but all the United States troops necessary to eject the fighters. The statutes give the United States authority to keep out of the Indian territory all persons whose presence would bo detrimental to the peace and prosperity of the Indians. The commissioner says there is no doubt that the presence of the prize fighters and the gang that would follow them into the Indian country would be very detrimental to the Indians, aud that it is, therefore, the duty of the Indian office to keep them out. Commissioner Browning was asked if the admission cf Corbett, Fitzsimmons and others connected with the fight to citizenship m one of the tribes would make any difference in the authority of the government, and he said that it would not change tho condition in the least, xne government uas tne power to expel a full blood Indian from tho territory if the peaco and good order of the Indians require it. Important Prohibition Decision. Topeka, Oct. 7. An important de cision was handed down by the supremo court involving the validity of one sec tion of tho prohibitory law. The law of 1889 conferred upon the police officers the authority to enter any place were it was thought hquor was being sold and "jmka arrests without a warrant. Under this section policemen havo been in the 'habit of entering places which had fallen usder suspicion and arrested whomever they caught in apparent possession of this place. The court holds that this section, in so far as it authorized the ar rest without si warrant for misdeamon ors not committed in view of the offic ers, is unconstitutional and void. Denver Excited Over a Bate War. Denver, Oct. 7. The Rocky Moun tain News says: "Freight circles of Denver are excited by a rate war about to be inaugurated. The indications are that the Santa Fe will quote any rate that shippers are prepared to pay. Un less peace is patcnen up mere will ne a hot fight on. The Transmissonri associa tion has been tottering for months and freight men agree that little attention has been paid to its dictates. From tho Denver standpoint it appears that the Santa Fe management got tired through suspected rate cutting and proceeded to declare war to the uttermost." Was Hung After Deatli. Des Moines, la., Oct. 7. The authori ties have reached the conclusion that Peter Henricksen, whose body was found suspended from one of the rail road bridges here, was murdered. The coroner maintains that life was extinct before it was hanged cn the bridge. No clew to the murderers has yet been found. Hen dricksen was a laborer, liv ing near Slater. "Omaha Kid" the Winner. Kansas City, Oct. 7. Oscar Gardner, the "Omaha Kid," and George Stout of Sioux City fought for a small purse ou an island in the Missouri river, a short distance above this city. A small steam boat transported the crowd which wit nessed the fight. Gardner, who had all the best of the battle, was awarded the decision in the 23th round on a foul. Defaulter CaHght at Baltimore.

"If the law is not allowed to take its course concerning our men involved in crime,the torch may be applied in those cities were the out rages occur," these words were uttered colored pastor of Quinn chapel, Twenty fourth street and Wabash avenue. An audience of 1,000 colored people ap plauded the sentiment and rose to their- feet to further show their appreciation of their pastor's stand.' Rev. Mr. Town Eend's sermon had been called forth by the report in the morning papers of the outrage upon Neil Smith at Chatta nooga. When it was finished the pastor gave out the hymn, "Thou Sleepeth- Justice, Awake." At the conclusion of the singing Rev: Mr. Townsend asked the audience to re main a short time. "I want no one to leave the house while I am speaking." He produced & cHpping.front.- a morn ing paper,read the account of the tortur ing of Ijfoil Smith; and then said. "This must stop in a Ghristian land. If the law is not to bo allowed to take i course-.concerning our men involved'ih.. crime.the torch must be applied in those cities where the outrages occurred." The preacher delivered these sentences in an impassioned manner and. asne finished, for a moment there was silence and then the entire audience arose and applauded. This quick endorsement of his position seemed to confuse Row Mr. Townsend and he remained silent. One of the congregation shouted: "We rise to endorse . what you have said.,' Tho audience was then dismissed and slowly left the church. , DUMPJBD ITO THE BASK3IENT. Scrloas Accident at tho Laying: of a Corner Stone at Lerale. Loraine, O., Oct. 7. While a great crowd of people was assembled Sunday to witness the laying of tho cornerstone of the new St. Mary's cathedral, a tem porary floor on which many of the peo ple were standing suddenly gave way, precipitating many men, women and children into the basement.

Fully 8,000 people were assembled on and around the platform, which had been constructed across the foundation of the edifice. The boards forming the temporary floor had been laid across the joists which were, supported in the mid dle by upright posts. Tho supports broke aud tho floor went down with ' crash. Fully 800 persons were thrown into the pit formed by tfeo "ifcggirig'-in thl middle 01 the floor. Toe a moment everybody was paralysed by the calam ity, but soon there was a rush forward by those willing- to lend assistance to the crushed and struggling people. This made matters worse, for 60 more persons were crowded forward upon those who went down with the floor. When the confusion had subsided some what, many of those who were able to extricate themselves did so by walking or crawling over the less fortunate. The work of rescue was begun at once and all were finally taken from the pit. Certificates of Inaeetiea Required. Washington, Oct. 7.
