The Nebraska Advertiser W. W. mjJYMUlM, rbU,hrt HCBIOKirTlOft tt.oO I'BH YKAJt FRIDAY. APRIL 10, 1800. THE CONTEST FOR THE CAN DIDAOY. A littln more than half of the nUtf ar yet to hold their republican con vcritions for the election of deloRiiteii at Urge. Thtso arc in the order in wliich the states will meet: Oregon, Rhode Island and Kentucky, Nenruso ka, North Dakota, New Jersey, Maine, Connecticut, Tennessee, Maryland, Virginia, PennaylTania, Alabama, Vermont, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Montana, Missouri, Cali fornia, West Virginia, Wyoming, North Carolina, Colorado and Idaho, while the territory of Arizona has its convention the same day a Georgia and Illinois. Idaho, which is last on the lint, has itn convention on May 30. Two state couvcnliouH take place tills week. These are Oregon's, which meets on Uio 0th, and Rhode Islands, which occurs on the 10th, Slightly lest than half of of tbo 000 delegates, at large and district, which nro to appear in the St. Lou in conven tion havo already been chosen. A little inoro than half of these have either been instructed for McKlnle or are known to favor his candidacy. The other aspirants range in tlilt rder at present: Morton, Red, Alli son, Quay, Cullom. This, however, will not be tho order after all the delegates are chosen. Reed will tins doubtedly be thn nncond n the roll at thai time, and Morton will havo fallen to third place. He may even drop to fourth place, as he apparently has no etrength outside of New York, while Allison will probably get a few dele gates in the states yet to choose them Quay is likely to secure two-thirds or throo-fottrths of the sixty, four dele putes from Pennsylvania, while not or than half of Illinois' forty-eigh ' delegates will be for Cullom if he al lows his name to go before the conven tion. The question of commanding impor tance here is, will MoKinloy keep up the lead over the combined forces of his rlviila which ho has maintained from ihe beginning? The chances at this writing art) that he will. In Maine, Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Is land, in which delegates aro to bo clioimi. Read will probably be far Id lead uf ll the other contestants, bt.t in all these atatos, except Maine and pOHrttbly Vsraaont, McKinley will ie ceivo some votes, no matter what the Instructions to the delegates at large may be. A fow district delegates in Massachasstta and Now Hampshire havo already been secured by bim, and the sentiment for him in Rhode Island and Connecticut hue all along been strong. In New Jersey, Maryland North Carolina and Georgia McKinltn will undoubtedly bo far ahead of al tho other aspirants, while Kentucky, which ia ostensibly for Bradley, who of course, is an impossibility, is really for tbo Ohio man. Outside of Illinois, in which Cullom is likely to receive a few more votes, MoKinloy will make a yirtually clean .weep of tho west, getting at least tlueo out of ovnry font of tho delegates yet to be naned. MUsouri is practically solid for him, and so apparently aro Indiana, Mian igan and tho Roeky Mountain and Pacific Coast States. It is excedln:n ly difficult to se at present how Mc Klnley's rivals can prevent him fiom earrylns; off tho prize on tho Urt-t allot. G obo-DemocraL m THE MOST WONDERFUL PILL.

The March term of tho District Com t cloned on Friday evening. It was the ilrst term held by Judge Stall and naturally every one was curious to see how the btiBiuuss would be managed by tho now judge. The uuamimous tfeutiaient eeemod to be that he was conscientious aad fearUm in his rulings. His determination to decide cases promptly when submitted and uot to take them under adviHOs meat, was sommeaded and approved of by litigants and counsel. Falls City Journal, Edison's roaent announcement that ho had succeeded in converting the X rayx into light, thus enabling observ ers to see through opaque objects, has been conformed by a series of scienti flc experiments in L'ittsburgh. Tko cathode ray was passed through a two inch pine board, on tho opposito side of which wms fixed a sheet of card board coated with powdeied tungstate of calcium. A tunnel was placed against the cardboard to shade the eyvn, and tho experimenter, looking through ihe funnel, cardboard and block, saw the outlined of his fingers. A piece of steel was seen more dis tluctly, and it was Miggested by a surgeon who was present that, by put dug a Crookes tube beoind a patient and looking through a layer of thu lungttate, tho course of an oppetatiug nlte could be exactly followed. By iuployliig this process the aid of phu ugraphy would be neediest. Thus it earns that Edison's proposition to use the eye iuatead of the camera in ex iloring opaque bodies is already, to some extent, an accomplished fact. Globe-Democrat.

Chtcago News, SINGULAR DISCOVERIES. A Wtmia That Wm h Valuable Contribu tor to Hclnnc. A very stnuijre thing happened to tho prince of Monaco's Btcmii yacht PrlnceBBo Alice, near the Inland of Toroelru in the AzxjreB ItuU Bummer. The prince hoa devoted IiIh yucht to tho study of the ocean and ItH Inhabitants, and many important facts have thua bocn gathered for science.

At this In r.tnnt the bodies of three gigantic cephaloodH tho clans to which cut tlt'flHhca belong were ejected from flvo whale's mouth.

VERY SHOCKING FISH. lahablt the MedltvrrunetMi aad 1'oMenii Peculiar Attribute. Many people know of the electric eel of Bouth America, but there are com paratively few who have heard of the torpedo or electrio ray of the Mediter ranean Bea. This curious fish, accord ing to the New York Journal, is ubout tho size and shape of a large frying pan. with a Bhort and exceedingly broad handle. It is fiat aud swims horizontally iu the water. The torpedo, which is found practic ully in the Bay of Biscay and the shores of the Mediterranean sea, is so called because of its habit of giving electric shocks. Such shockH an', feeble, aa a rule, notgreater than those from a small electric battery. If the fish is enraged, however, it is capable of giving a much more powerful Rbock. It utt's this cu rious weapon to stun the small fishes and animals on which it preys, thus making the victim insensible previous to devouring it. It ia a very sluggish fish and will lay for hour.s buried in the sand a few feet from the shore in shal low water. Electricity is much talked of a a medical agent nowadays, and for such uses is spoken of as a new dis covery, but In the days of Caesar this natural electricity was much used for the bame purpose and physicians of the time applied it to the leg or arm of a person suffering from rheumatism, gout or nervous diseases, the patient keeping his hand or foot on the fish as long as It was jossible to bear the shocks. Thin was said to have been an excellent remedy. MOM to LOAN ator' ent. on Farm Lands, Apply at The Adver. tiser office, JNciuuha. i a. p. T. L.
