The report of the explosion was heard
by several parties, but no attention

Thomas Mackev has beon found
guilty in the federal court at Omaha of
having criminal intercourse with a girl
under sixteen years of age. Mackey is
a white man and the complaining wit
ness, Martha Mackey, is his stepdaugh
ter and a half-breed Indian. The
parties all live at the Santee agency
and the illicit relations have continued
for several years, or since the girl was
about twelve years old. The testimo
ny, which was of a revolting character,
shows that the girl's mother, the wife
of Mackey, had knowledge of what
was going on and consented to it.
Tub farmers near Havelock are agi
tating the question of building a
creamery. Two meetings have been
held. It seems probable they will offer
a small bonus and a building site in
Havelock as an inducement to any
company that will establish a good
plant there.; The country bos been
canvassed and milk can be had from
at least BOO cows. The oldest settlers
about Havelock say that the present
crop prospects are better than they
have been for twenty years. Oats are
heading put nicely and bid fair to
yield from fifty to seventy-five bushels
per acre. Corn will bo’Waist high 'by
July |4th. The ground is in excellent
condition. In the year 1891 Nebraska
had practically two crops, but 1890 bids
fair to excel 1801.
Two women and a man were
drowned in the Missouri east. of Teka
mah the other day. Two young men
and two young women were pleasure
riding in a boat, near what is known
as the Ludwick saw mill The river, is
very high, and the boat getting caught
in an eddy, struck a snag, which tipped
it so that it partially filled with water.
One of the girls grabbed one of the
men around the neck in her fright.
The young man was an excellent
swimmer, and, evidently thinking the
boat was going to sink and that he
could swim ashore with the girl, jump
ed overboard with her. In jumping
they overturned the boat, throwing
their companions into the water and -
all were drowned. The first couple
were never seen after they sank.

Chicago, Jnljr 4. — There is talk
among the free Mirer leaders of call
ing a mucus before the convent! >n for
the purpose of fixing a slate. Should
this be done. Governor Altgeld’s idea
of a “one day” convention may be
carried into effect.
W. H. Hinrichsen, chairman of the
Illinois State central committee and
delegaie-at-large, says that there is a
strong sentiment among the free
silver delegates now in the city favor
ing sueh a caucus. “But even if there
should be no caucus,” he continued,
“I have an idea that the work of the
convention can be wound up in a
single day. As I figure it out, the
silver candidates for the nomina
tion for President will be Bland,
Boies, Blackburn, Matthews and Mc
Lean. Of these I rather incline to the
belief that Boies and Bland will gat
the bulk of the votes, and that
whoever has the greatest number of
votes on tlic first ballot will be nomi
nated on the second. As to the gold
men. I don’t think we have anything
to fear from them. As soon as they
get here and circulate among the
delegates they will have political

make a fight would be butting their
heads against a briek wall with an
idea of battering it down. The ma
jority of the Democrats are for free
silrer, and it has always been the
policy of the Democrats to allow the
majority to rule.”
Iiinrichsen thinks that C, S. Thomas,
national committeeman from Colorado
and chairman of the delegation from
that State, stands a good show of
being elected temporary chairman.
“It Ts quite possible,” he continued,
“that the temporary organization will
be made, permanent. This could be
done for the purpose of expediting
'business.”

Denver, Cola, July 4.—Five of the
Colorado delegates to the Democratic
national convention favor the nomi
nation of Bland and, as the unit rule
will be observed, he will probably re
ceive the eight' votes of Colorado on
the first ballot Should Teller's name
be presented, Colorado voles will go
to him, but the Colorado delegation
will present no candidate.
Last week it was planned to send a
large and influential delegation of
Colorado citizens, without regard to
party affiliations, to work for the
nomination of Senator Teller, but the
plan has been abandoned, as the Sen
ator himself did not approve of it.
While no organized body will go from
here in his behalf, Senator Teller will

Demand! of silver Lealerit
Chicago, July 4.—It has been deter
mined as far as it can be in advance of
the meeting of the national commit
tee that some man not identified with
the silver movement, although he may
have leanings tovird silver, will be
■elected for chairman. It is apparent
from the talk of the members of the
committee who are here that they do
not like the term- which the Bilver
men laid down for the sub-committee
and they feel that the national com
mittee should not be dictated to in
this matfer. Ben T Cable, member of
the national committee for Illinois,
who was,not at the meeting of the
sub-committee when the delegation 'of
silver lenders apneared. says he is op
posed to having the Democratic na
tional committee swerve from its
usual custom in its selection of a tem
porary chairman, and if the conven
tion d* -s not like the committee’s
selection, it will have the right to
vote in another man. It seems to be
the opinion that the committee will be
going f»r outside \s custom to submit
to a faction of the party the selection
of a presiding officer.

glad of it. Although there was some
truth in what she wrote, there was

it is not true that such treatment was
general throughout the South.”

Hayward 110. Necessary to a choice

mous. Mr. MacCoIl being loudly called
for, said:
“Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: I never in my life realized
the poverty of our language to express
sentiment as I do at this moment. I
am not a speechmaker, but I believe I
am an honest citizen of Nebraska and
a republican whose republicanism has
never been affected by political defeats.
If you want a candidate who can
prance upon the grandstand, I think
you have made a mistake. But if you
want a governor who will attend to the
duties of his office, you have, I think,
chosen wisely. Gentlemen, I can only
thank you in the simple words, ‘I
thank vou.’ ”
Orlando Teft was nominated for
lieutenant governor, the vote being
unanimous.
For secretary of state J. A. Piper
was nominated.
For auditor Peter O. Hedlund was
nominated.
The balance of the ticket was chosen
as shown at the head of the column.
THE PLATFORM.
The republicans of Nebraska in con
vention represented affirm their faith
in the principles enunciated in the
platform adopted by the national con
vention at St. Louis; the platform of a
party not ashamed of its record and
compelled to abandon no article of its
ancient faith.
Chief among these standard princi
ples is a protective tariff, that cares
for every American interest and secures
the highest good for American labor; a
reciprocity that, while seeking out the
world’s marketB for our surplus pro
ducts, will nevpr yield up a single day’s
wage that belongs to the American
workman; a sound dollar, as sound as
the government, and as untarnished as
iu flag; a dollar that is good not only
at home, but good wherever trade
goes—as good in the hands of a farmer
or a workman as in the hands of a
capitalist, a manufacturer or a corpora
tion.
A foreign policy that respects the
American flag and causes it to be hon
ored abroad; that embodies the sym
pathy of the American people in the
struggle of their oppressed neighbors
for liberty and self-government and
that jealously resents any and all en
croachments of the military powers of
the old world upon the territory of any
American republic.
A domestic policy that accords fair
treatment and generous recognition to
the veterans of the union army, that
gives them preference, wherever prac
ticable, in public employment; that
suffers no union soldier, his widow or
orphan, to be deprived of a pension,
regularly granted, without due notice
and an investigation as thorough and
impartial as that upon the faith of
which the pension was originally con
ferred.
That provides a revenue sufficient
for current expenses and the. mainten
ance of the public credit; that allows
no excuse for increasing the national
debt in - times of peace, and that re
stores onr merchant marine.
The republicans of Nebraska most
heartily endorse the nomination of
their first choice, William McKinley of
Ohio for president and Garrett A. Ho
bart of New Jersey for vice president,
and pledge them their enthusiastic and
undivided support.
They favor state legislation, with
proper restrictions, for the safety and
protection of the people, under which
mutual Insurance companies may be
organized. The valued policy act
should not be repealed or modified in
any way that will destroy the equity
of its provisions
The educational funds of the state
should be invested to the last possible
dollar in the securities specified in the
constitution, preference being given to
state and county bonds.
THE BLAND BOOMERS.
They Arm Betting All Chicago to Talk- ,
Inc About Their Candidate. ^
Chicago. July 2.—The movements of
the Bland men in securing’ near head
quarters in the Auditorium and the
Palmer house and the Sherman house
and in pushing his boom in other tray a
has set all Chicago to talking, and,
despite the Illinois setback of yester
day, all of the Missourians are more
confident than ever. They consider
the securing of the reading room,
which fronts the lake, in the Audi
torium, the best hit they hare made.
They are also declaring that Altgeld
said to A. h Trade last night: “It
seems to me Bland is the coming
man.”
l he uiand campaign is prolific in
novelties. A costly badge, designed
by George W. Allen, is to be worn by
every pledged and instructed Bland
delegate. Achemographof Mr. Bland,
handsomely gotten np under a new
process patented in St. Louis, is to be
presented to every .delegate to the
convention as fast as the delegations
arrive. These chemographs are pub
up in a protected form for mailing.
They will make souvenirs which every
delegate will want to keep. Nicholas
M. Bell has charge of the chemograph
bureau. Large pictures of Bland ore
to be posted all over the city, and at
