For Nebraska public schools Library day has been set for Monday* October 21. A suggestion is made for the teachers: "One of the ways is to prepare a program in which teacher, children and some of the patrons take part Another is a program in which every family represented in the school pre sents a story, an essay, a recitation, a declamation, or something for the en tertainment of the people of the com munity who are invited for the even ing. A third is for the teacher to pre pare a talk or lecture on the books selected for the pupils' reading course by the Heading Circle board - and give this on the evening of Library day to as many old and young, as can be In duced to come. A fourth plan is to give out five or six of the Pupils’ Read ing circle books to a number of the most earnest and intelligent men and women (one to each) in the district on educational matters and ask each to make an eight or ten minute talk on ‘What I found in the book for chil dren.’ These talks with music by the school, or by some of the people of the community, in connection with the talk of the teacher, would form a pleas ant and profitable evening. Ask the seboel authorities to buy a part or ull of the set selected by the Reading Circle board for the pupils, as the needs of the school and the ability of the dis< trict may demand.” - Wanted for, Seventeen Years. Sheriff J. P. Wetherford of Oskaloosa, Kan., was in Lincoln last week to pro cure requisition papers for Jim Daugh erty, who is wanted in the Sunflower state for assisting in robbing a 1 bank at Kortonville, Kan., in 1883. Governor Holcomb granted the1 papers, and the sheriff left yesterday afternoon for Falla City, Neb*, where he has located Daugherty. The crime for which Daugherty is wanted was committed by him, Poke Wells and another pal. Wells was shot dead by a watchman. Daugherty and his other pal were captured. While in jail Daugherty got possession of two revolvers with which he held up the jailor and made his escape. / Since that time the officers have been following him to get the 93,000 reward offered for his apprehension. He was located in Kansas City once, but begot wind of the pursuit and escaped before the officers could land him. He was tracked to Falla City by Sheriff Weth erford. Daugherty is a desperate criminal, and the sheriff expected 'rouble in arresting him. Whurar Woman Commits Suicide. Wisner dispatch: Mrs. W. T. Grimes died at her home, two miles north of town, last evening from the effects of a dose of Paris green taken yesterday afternoon with suicidal Intent. The deceased had been confined in the Nor folk asylum for the insane for several months, bnt was much improved in her mental condition, and was allowed by the authorities of that institution to re turn home with her husband Friday. She appeared benefitted by being with her family, but in a relapse used the drug to end her life. She was highly respected by this community, in which she had lived for eighteen years. She was n member of the Christian church and of the Woman's Relief corps of this place, whose members attended her funeral in n body, which took place this afternoon from the Methodist church. Tor Cotarr Medical Collage. On tho 8th the State Board of Health took financial action in the matter of the Co.uer Medical college, the med ical school of Cotner uuiversitv. It was decided to grant certificates to practice to the class graduated by the school last June, but a warning was served on the present senior class and the faculty that facilities for clinical instruction in medicine must be provided better than those now at hand. H was held that the school had complied at least with the spirit, and that in fture both 'etter and apirit must be observed. The church social is a serious think for young meu of limited means in all sections of America, but In Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia It Is pos itively dangerous. Hardly an affair of the kind is held in the rural regions that at least one man docs not give up tain life—not to religion, but to one or another of the thousand feuds of that section. Whether it is a case of the office Becking the man or the man seeking the office, the search Is a diligent one nowadays over a great many states. CHANDLER ON SILVER. THE NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATOR MAKES BIMETALLIC PROMISES. COMES OUT IN A LETTER. Republican* Declared to Be Pledged to the Use of Both Uold and Silver— The Democratic Leader* Clawed a* Uncompromising Gold Standard Men—Want* a , Conference Called. , Denver, CoW Oct. If.—Ia a letter to T. C. Clayton, secretary of the Re* publican state league of Colorado, urg ing Republicans of this state to stand firmly with the nutional organization, Senator Chandler of New Hampshire says: “The Republican party will go into the presidential battle pledged to bimetallism which I believe, as sore as right is right, will win. On the other hand the Democratic leaders— the men who dominate and control its national influence, patronage and or ganization—are gold monometallists. President Cleveland and his adminis tration ure absolutely in the hands of Mr. l’ierpont Morgan and his syndicate of foreign bankers; they are against silver as a money metal and they are committed to gold mono metallism. With the patronage of the government, wfth money manipulated by William C. Whitney and Calvin 8. Brice the Democracy are hopelessly subjugated; and their next national convention will be as hostile to the principles of bimetallism as are the English creditors who propose to exact the pound of flesh from their debtors in all parts of the world. It is the height of folly for any bimetallist to conceive that anything but gold mono metallism can come from another Democratic national victory. W’e bi metallists outnumber the gold mono> me tallists of the world 100 to l,and need not fear that we will not eventually succeed. W'ith a practical suggestion 1 close. • A bimetallic convention held in the United States will be attended by representatives from all Western hemisphere governments and from the governments of Russia, France, •lapan and China. Bimetallic organ izations in Canada, India and every other country will send delegates. The decision of the conference that the nations should coin silver witnout limit at the ratio of 15>£ to 1 will be irresistible, even by England and Germany. Our congress should call a conference and provide for paying its expenses." PARKHURST’S POSITION. Although Sadly Disappointed He Will Support the Fnslon Ticket. New York, Oct. Is.—Rev.

TORCH AND DYNAMITE. | Caban Insurgents Destroying Plantations and Wreaking Bridges. Kkv West, Fla., Oct. 14.—Anarchy practically prevails on the island of Cuba according to letters received here. The Spanish are powerless, and ontside of large cities, like Havana, there is not even a pretense of govern ment. Bands of insurgents roam at will, destroying sugar plantations and dynamiting railroad bridges. It seems to be the determination of the insur gents to destroy everything that would aid Spain in sustaining her army. In carrying out this policy the torch is being applied to the sugar plantations. In Santa Clara province glone six of the largest plantations have been burned. The torch has also been ap plied to the tobacco fields in certain districts. ~v »**v luauij-cuvn wmiuuo bills policy, it will be but a short time until there will be nothing' left in Cuba on which to Sustain an army. The mail service is completely demoralized. The insurgents bave waylaid and taken many mail carriers, hoping to capture important dispatches. The carriers have become terrorized, and scores hare resigned. Recently two Spanish mail carriers were captured by insurgents under Mnceo and hanged. >So great is the fear of the carriers that done will venture forth unless accom panied by armed guards. Whenever a carrier starts with an important dis patch he is escorted by a company of soldiers. From the penal colonies in Southern Spain a battalion of criminals has been organized and placed under the com mand of Colonel Uarrido, who butchered the sick insurgents a few weeks ago. This battalion is known as the “squadron of death,” because it has earned the title by killing women and children as well as the inmates of hospitals. Garrido, with his force will enter a village and place the wo men and children in front of them as a breastwork; then, when the Cubans come, they will dare them to Are, but will themselves shoot over the wo men's heads.

CUBA’S INSURRECTION SPAIN TO ACT PROMPTLY IN CRUSHING IT. Sensational Humor Concerning Warning! of Uncle Sana—The Spanlali Minuter at Washington Said to Hare Notified HU Government that Thle Country Will Act Unless the Cuban Rebellion U Soon Suppressed. Madrid Mach Excited. | Washington, Oct. 13,—A cable mts •sge from Madrid received here cany this morning said that it was reported there on the best of authority that the American government had notified the Spanish minister at Washington that it was necessary for Spain to act promptly in crushing the Cuban in surrection, and that the report caused a profound sensation in Madrid. The truth of the report caunot be confirmed at the state department. The officials, when approached, would neither affirm nor deny the story, though their manner would indicate disapproval of its accuracy. It is be lieved quite probable that representa tions may have been made to Spain of the wisdom of aggressive and active operations against the Cuban insurg ents, biit it is thought that the United States government did not make these auggestions, and' that, if made, they came from Minister De Lome and were based, on his personal views of the situation and on his observation of the trend of sentiment in the United States and his knowledge of the pur pose of the friends of the insurgents to press their cause vigorously soon after the assembling of congress. Daily events point strongly to a de termination to force the question on the attention of congress in the belief that the legislative channel affords the most practicable route to the ac complishment of something in behalf of Cuban independence, the executive branch of the government, in the very nature of things, being more con strained in its action thau the legisla tive department. Senor DeLorne left hero to-day on a very early train, and therefore no in formation could be gained from him concerning the Madrid dispatch. THE POLICY OF THIS COUNTRY. Senor DeLorne, the Spanish m’n ister, had a short interview with Secretary Olney yesterday, and in the course of their conversation the min ister, perhaps in answer to the secre tary’s inquiry, made a statement that operations in Cuba would be conducted with greater vigor hereafter. As the president must certainly make some reference to the insurrection in his annual message to congress when it I meets in December, it would be but natural that Secretary Olney, upon whom he must rely for his informa tion, should take steps to gather data upon which to base a judgment of probable future events. While it is true that President Grant did, as indicated in his messages to congress, entertain a belief that inter vention in the then progressing rebel lion in Cuba would be justifiable, this view \vas never acceptable to Secre tary Fish, and it has not secured the adherence of international lawyers. The whole weight of authority, is de cidedly adverse to the assertion by a neutral nation of a right to say when war between two combatants has progressed to a point where it must be stopped. it may be recalled that some such proposition was made during the last stages of the China-Japanese war, but it never went further than the exercise of the good offices of the interested nations to bring about peace, which function-is entirely distinct from direct interven tion. The question is also separate from that of the recognition of the belligerence of the insurgents, which, according to American policy and Eractice, mast be determined purely y tBe facts in each case.

FORTUNE IN A ROOM. orw a Ml):Ion Dollar! Left Bellied by a Beclaie. CdHBBises, Mass., Oct. 12.--Mrs. Sarah Coolidge, for thirty years a re cluse in a secluded house here, died of apoplexy Wednesday. She always > passed as a woman of moderate cir cumstances. When the undertaker disrobed the body preparatory to em balming it, be found various assort ments of gold coins tucked away in concealed pockets in her clothing.* This led to a search of the room and it proved to be a veritable gold mine. In vases and in other pieces of bric-a brac, in shoes, in bureau drawers, and in every conceivable nook and cranny the searchers found $30,000 in casli, mostly in gold coin. In one dilapi dated handbag was a roll of 'bills ag gregating $3,800. On the shelf in her closet were bank books representing scores of thousands more, with securi ties and deeds showing a valuation of over a million dollars. One document showed her to be the owner of prop erty at the corner of Washington and Avon streets, lioston, which pays a rental of $1,000 a month. In addition to the money and the bank books there were dresses of the most stylish and expensive goods, covered with jewels and old laces. Many of these gonns would easily MRS. JAMES BROWN POTTER She Air* Her Domestic Difflcuitln In the Newspapers. New York. Oct. 12.—Mrs.'.Tames Brown Potter has made public her reasons for leaving her home for a life on ihe stage. In an interview she said: ••1 have never for one moment re gretted going upon the stage; neither have I ever cast one longing look back at Uie old society days, nor even thought with pleasure of the so-called social triumph I was said to have made. 1 look upon those things as hollow and utterly vapid; they mean absolutely nothing. It is nine vears since 1 left New York, and Ihave lost all interest in the city’s social set. Indeed, I care as little for them as they care for me. First of all, let me say that 1 was much amused at something said iu the papers a few days ago about Mr. James Brown Pot ter's posing as a saint, keeping his home rendy for ray return at any time I chose to come back. It is very nice of Mr. Potter to express such sickly sentiment. That house and home hap pens to be mine, as well as everything in the house. It was given to me by Pierre I.onllard for the successful work 1 did in getting people to join the Tuxedo club. ‘-My ideas of life and those of the .Potters were at variance. I was brought up to think that life was .real and that love ruled the world. The Potters lived only for outside show, uiways seemed to be afraid to appear natural and were always at swords’ , points with one another. There was nothing natural, nothing genuine in this new life 1 was leading. All was conventional, all surface. Mv entbusi asm. and naturalness were chilled by the Potters. My success in private theatricals paved the way to some thing better, and one day. sick and weary of all the mockery, tired of the constant fault-finding to which I was compelled to submit, tired of going out with a smiling faceand a breaking heart, tired of the snubs of the Pot ters, who are always jealous of each other, ■ tired of genteel poverty, I walked out of that home Mr. Potter is keeping for me and left everything be hind me. I have never been permitted to go back to get my belongings, and not even as much as a pair of sleeve buttons has ever been sent me. I sac- " rificed little to gain the glorious her itage of honest independence. ” DURRANT’S GREAT NERVE. Goes Bark On Him Jn>t Once During Cross-Examination. San Francisco, Oct. 12.—Under the rigid cross-examination of District At torney Barnes, Theodore Durrant made a number of answers that are regarded as decidedly Incriminating, inasmuch as they appear to be in di rect conflict with well established facts. lie gave an explanation of a clue regarding Blanche L&mont's disap pearance, said to have been received by him, that was so palpably a false-* hood that everybody in the room laughed aloud. The. stifling atmos phere of the overcrowded court room came to Durrant’s . rescue and he was enabled to recover from his confusion during the short recess that followed. When he again came to the stand he remained calm during the most trying ordeals. The prosecution was, never theless, well satisfied with the day's ' work, for it' had accomplished wliat had never been done before—Durrant fora moment had lost his wonderful self-possession, and had been caught in a number of barefaced untruths.
