Neville in his effort to secure the nomina tion for the supreme judgeship. Why is this so? Has Mr. Cheney had a tip from the state house ring at Lincoln, or has his local political mentor something to do with this careful avoidance of Mr. Neville and his boom? Mr. Cheyney beseeches the popu lists to put up a clean ticket at the convention next Saturday. Are we to infer from this that there are un clean men in the populist ranks? For nearly two years past the Era editor has attempted to make the people believe that all unclean and unholy men were members of the republican and democratic parties, but now by his own pen he virtually admitsthat there arerascals in the populist told. The democrats of Lincoln county will no doubt file away a copy of the Era of August 19th containing that pleasing article 'A Hold-up game."' In the course of a couple of months from now the article may come handy. E. W. Crane says his appoint ment as time-keeper at the Omaha exposition grounds will not inter- fere with his candidacv for the county judgeship. It this is true, which is doubtful, it will make grief for Father Buchanan and son Butler. C. C. Wetzel will come down from Hershey to the populist convention like a wolf upon a sheen oen. and demand a nomination -on the first ballot or by acclamation. In the mean ' time Gus Huffman, in his quiet way, is gathering in the sup port of the farmers who are likely to be delegates to the convention. An orchard covering 125 acres in Atchison county, Kansas, has brought its owners $14,000 for the apple .crop of this season. It is another case where a single crop brings back the original cost of the land and all the care that has been put upon the orchard since it was planted. Some day there will not be a . quarter section in the south eastern corner ot Nebraska without an embellishment of apple trees The crop will fail now and then, but every few yQars it will turn out to be a veritable Klondike.

What a Preibiflont Insurance Man Says. H. M. Blossom, senior member of H. M.

One bottle completely cured me, I gent one bottle to my sister who had a Bevere cough, and she fouud im mediate relief. I always recommend this syrup to my f?iends.

Nothincr more need be said about the excellent work that has been done by the different instructors. The work has been good from open ing to close. The Teacher's Association of Lincoln county held its meetinjr yesterday, and everything passed off in the most pleasant manner possible. Several of the narratives prepared on history brought out through the Laboratory method were read be fore the Association, and every one of them was exceptionally good. Mr. Kader-read a very interesting paper on the benefits of teaching history after the source system, in which he brought out many very many good points. This was fol lowed by a paper read by It. II. Xangford, on the present methods of teaching geography and history. . The Association then proceeded to the election of officers for the com ing year. Miss Sarah Ferguson was chosen president, and Miss Adda Kocken, secretary. In the afternoon Dr. Bowlus de livered a lecture on, "The Evolu tion of the United States" which was very instructive and was highly appreciated by those who heard it. Every one speaks very highly of the way the Institute was conducted, and much credit is due Mrs. Frank-" liti. Lieutenant-Governor Harris who was to lecture last night, failed to keep his appointment, but Dr. Bowlus kindly consented to talk to the large audience, and conducted them on a trip from Cleveland, Ohio, along the Lake, through the St. Claire flats, and to Port Huron, then on the train to Kingston and from there by boat down the St. Lawrence to Montreal. This im aginary trip was very pleasant, and told in the Doctor's style was highly entertaining. The lecture on Elecution by Harry Trumbull Sutton was the only failure, directly, or indirectlv, connected with the Institute, and it was a failure of the most pro nounced character. If his wr.s elo cution, deliver us from eycr hearing anything elocutionary again. "Hie examination of teacher is now being conducted at the school house, and as soon as that is over, the teachers will repair to their re spective homes, we are convinced, feeling well satisfied -with the two week's work; and they will begin at once the preparation for the tall term school. RESOLUTIONS, Whereas, the members of the Lincoln County Institute, and teachers of Lincoln county, duly appreciate the class of work done by the instructors. Dr. Bowlus.

Mrs. Joseph Kresser of Orleans, broke her leg in two places below the knee by being tipped out of a wagon during a runaway. Mr. and Mrs. John S.

The Niobrara Tribune avers that the calamityites of Knox county are climbing one by one into the repub lican band wagon. It is a noble am bition. Carl Schmiedberg and William "Volk, two Norfolk meu were caught under a falling clay bank and sus tained severe injuries. The former will probably d ie Thos. Russell, of Cedar Rapids, was stabbed and mortally wounded at a dance held at the Alterton ranch. Four young men are under arrest charged with committing the assault. Two Hastings men have been en gaged this week in panning the sand in the Blue river, but have not yet found gold in sufficient quantities to pay them ior their trouble. Two hundred and sixty-five head of cattle recently shipped from Arkansas to Webster county are in fested with ticks which dry up and blow away and give the Texa3 fever to other cattle. A disease, presumably blackleg, broke out in a herd of cattle be longing to Adam Walter of Cam bridge and in a short time nine cattle were dead. Adam thinks he has a '-corner" on the disease now. vJThe Lincoln authorities are go- i ng after the gamblers again, and the gentry are wondering if the officials really mean business or are playing another tune to the grand stand. They are nonplussed tor moment. Mrs. Hughes, of Greeley Center, who was struck on the head with a hammer by her father, John D. Maw, died Tuesday. The murderer is considered a sort of a lunatic yet this does not quiet the talk ot hold ing a lynching bee. Edward Risum Hansen, a Davey Dane who is locked up in the 'Lan caster county jail for bigamy, took a dose of lye with a hope of sever ing his several marriage bonds all atone swoop. The lye failed to work and he will have to confront his wives in a court here below. Two thousand pounds of dirt from the Nuff farm near Crete, this state, were taken to St. Louis and tested for value. The result was one-half ounce of gold, worth $10.33, and seven and three-fourths ouuees of silver, worth $4.57,a total of $14.90 to the ton. Mr. Bruben, who had the test made is so satisfied with it that he will bring back with hiin a forty ton smelter and start the work in earnest. The weekly weather report shows that Nebraska has been blessed with more than enough rain to ma ture the corn. We now need a few weeks of dry warm weather to put the late crop out of danger of frost, lu two weeks the early com will be bey-oiid all possibility of damage.

If youth be imbued with love ot pursuits that employ the intellect, and it is furnished with refined pleasures, he is more likely to be come a good man, a useful, honor able citizen, than if subjected to the strictest moral discipline and kept in the most unsuspecting ignorance of the vice and wickedness of life. A proper knowledge of the nature of evil is the best armament against becoming subject to it. The Out look. A novel deed was filed for record in Philadelphia a fewdays ago. It gives one Charles Banks the privi lege of allowing the eves of his new house to encroach on the proparty of Mrs Sarah Edwards to the ex tent of four inches, and binds the heirs of Mrs. Edwards for the same encroachment.
