' " ""' J : i . i THE COUNTY TICKET. The republicans of Cass, county enter the CHtnpnirn thin ear with a jrreiiter decree of unity and enthu siasm and it more determined spirit than they have shown for vears. Tlicy Imve nominated a ticket that inspires confidence ami renders till' content one of men an well an party principle. Knteiititf under these favorable circumstan ce it im only reasonable toconclude that the entire ticket will he tri umphantly elected. It in not often that a party tfocti into a fitrht with a Htronyer ticket than which the convention Hi'lected last Saturday a ticket to which its nupporterH may refer with pride ' and satisfaction. For county clerk a better selection could not have been made than the nominee, Frank Dickson. With hid experience as dep utyclerk, bin fine natural busincnH pialilicatioiiH hiH integrity and ex habits niiiki-H him. indeed, emi nently fitted for the position. In the nominee for county treasu rer, I,. C. Kickholi, we have a man to whom the financial affairs of the county may be entrusted with per fect safety. Mr. Kickhoff has for many years been one of our fore most farmers, a man whose integri ty is above tpicstion and his popu larity with all classes will make him an exceedingly strong candi date. Geo. Kdson, of Rock Mulls, is also a practical farmer, a staunch repub lican and a thoroughly honest, competent and strong candidate. Calvin Ktissel, of Weeping Water, nominee for county judge, is too well and favorably know to call for special comment at this' time. lie lias already filled the office, to which his party desires to elect him, tohe entire satisfaction of his constituents. His fitness for the position isabove question and his popularity with all parties and Hections will make him a strong candidate. A. Salisbury, nominee for clerk of the district court, one of our most prominent dentists, has won an en viable reputation, not only proles nioually but personally, and with his line business qualities, genial ity and sterling integrity he will make a successful run and perforin the exacting duties of the office to which heaspires faithfully and well J. K. Leyda. of Weeping Water, nominee for superintendent of schools, though a young man, has been a live, progressive teacher for several years. This is truly a cast in which the office sought the man, as Mr. Leytla badno intimation that Ilia friends would present his name until a few moments before the vote was taken. His friends had considered well his availability and concluded tli.it a stronger man could not be found. The nomination of J. I. I'liruh. of riattsmuoth, for corner, to succeed himself will give general satisfac tion. During the year in which tie has tilled the position, he has proved himself a thoroughly com petent ready officer ami justly en titled to the position another term. Mr. I'liruh will be a strong candi date. A. C. ."Mayes, our present county surveyor, will be rc-clectrd t On position that lie has so ably Idled in the past. A stronger candidate ould not have been secured. A. R Todd named by the st commissioner district, for re nomination to the office of county commissioner, is thoroughly known throughout the county as an effi cient, upright and ableollieer. The election of Mr. Todd might as well have been made unanimous at once. These are the names placed be fore the voters of Cass county, by the republicans, ami every name on the ticket is well known to our read: ers, hence we are not entering this , campaign blindly. ' j Hut there is a work for every member of the party to do, in order to make its election, absolutely certain. Let us remember the admonition of our newly elected chairman id the central committee when he said "go home with a bur- I den ami a responsibility and work until the ticket is elected." Will we do it'r JUUUfc. M B REESE. The resolution instructing dele gates for lion. M. H. K'cese for asso ciate justice, introduced by lion. If. H. Windham at the county conven tion last Saturday, went through with a hurrah, thus demonstrating conclusively that the republican party of Cass county will be lound in line for Judge Ifeese. While there was opposition to the resolu tion, by several prominent mem bers of the convention, there was unmistakable evidence that it was not because of hostility to Judge Ifeese, but because they believed that delegates should be permitted to exercise their own judgment in the selection. JCvery man that ppoke in opposition of the resolu tion paid a flowing tribute to the ability, integrity and availability of Judge Ifeese. TlIK llKkAt.n firmly believes that Judge Ifeese is one of the strong nun in the party and inasmuch as he was not treated fairly at our hand two years since it iscertaiuly true that he is a very formidable candidate. The alliance should not object to him as he has every tie ment ofMrength that their candi date, Kdgerton, possesses, with the additional qualification that Un people know the man and realize his good qualities as evidenced by his course on the bench in the past. THE COVENTION. The delegates to the republican county convention demonstrated plainly that they were capable of performing the duty entrusted to them faithfully and well. While some delegates were solidly in favor of certain candidates, and even contested the ground care fully, yet all showed a disposition to abide by the decision of the majority and work in unison for the succ jss of the republican nomi nees. It was the opinion of the older members of the party that it was one of the most successful con ventions ever held. A more united feeling existing between the differ ent sections, a greater degree of en thusiasm prevailing and a more de termined spirit predoniinatingthan usual, and a ticket nominated that, if considered upon its merits, will receive the full party vote and can not fail to draw largely from tin other parties. HkkokK the democratic state con vention convened at Grand Island, the democratic press, particularly our home organ, was loud in its denunciations of Uoyd's veto of the Newberry freight bill, but since the bosHes have been heard from and it has become a settled fact that the party will uphold Boyd's action, these papers have maintained a silence in the matter that is really surprising. Does it mean that these papers propose to surrender all independence in the matter, cease to advocate a course that they really believe would be to the interest of the people and even ad ovcate directly the opposite view, regardless of their honest convic tions, simply to satisfy party bosses? These party newspapers were directed doubtless, by declara t ions of party platforms in tin-past but surely in the face of the usual neglect to fulfil party pledges, these papers, the editors of which are well acquainted with democratic methods, should be careful to ad vance no sentiment concerning a question of general concern, until the crowd lias been heard from. TlIK Chicago Tribune, one of the great republican dailies, soon after the McKinley bill became a law, but before its merits had become Known ny actual test, was loud in its denunciations of the bill, ami asserted that it was not republican. It is evident however, in view of tin following comment upon the plat form as adopted by the recent de mocratic convention of Nebraska that a fair test of the la w is demon strating its usefulness and proving the theories and campaign misre presentations as wholly unfair. The Tribune says: In the last resolution the Nebras ka democrats denounce the McKin ley bill as "a bold and shameless attempt to repay tint of the pockets of the people to the protec tive industries the amount contri buted by them for the purpose of wholesale corruption," etc. They ought to be a little more specific on the subject, and give at least some idea of tin-"amount" so contributed. Will they condemn the taking of the duty off sugar as a contribution to any corruption fumlV Date thepsay the reduction of duties on hindiiv; twine, copper, and steal, ami the cheap kind of cotton goods goes to swell the fund to "repay" the pro. tective indu-triesV And will Un people of Nebraska who have re cently undertaken beet culture on a large scale admit that the sugar bounty is to them a corruption fund': Probably not. Major McKlXl.KY is to speak in Oltumua, la., next Wednesday and indications are that it will be the largest and most enthusiastic, polit ical gathering ever held in ,the state. Governor Ibiii-s pretends that he does not see why the tariff quesinu should concern the people of Iowa this year. Doubtless the major will tell the Governor if he gets an opportunity. We venture to say that, among other things he would remind him that the legisla ture to be clu isen this fall will be calletl upon to t-lect a 1'. S. senator to ruccced Mr. Wilson; and then, too, the republicans have opened the campaign of VJ and the major has a little bill about the workings of which he wishes to inform his democratic friends.

ADVENTISE NtURASKA, It is well known to those ac quainted with the resources of our state that great possibilities lie out before us, and it is only a question of time when the value of all kinds of property will be greatly en ha jced. Hut it is not wise to sit with arms folded waiting for the advantages of our state to become known and entice settlers here incidentally; but on thecontrary every legitimate more that will have a tendency to bring our advantages before the people of other states should re ceive encouragement and substan tial aid from every one who is able to contribute. An excellent plan has recently been devised and all that is needed to make it a thor ough success and of inestimable value to our property holders is the hearty co-operation of all. It has been arranged by the State Business Men's Association that several trains shall be loaded with products of Nebraska, of every de scription and in care of one repre sentative man from each county participating in the enterprise, they shall be sent through nearly all the eastern states, thus calling atten tion id the home seekers of these states to our advantages and the capabilities of our citizens. The train designed for the accomoda tion of this section will leave here October lath, anil every live, pub lic spirited settler in the county should assist in making an exhibit in keeping with our capabilities. Our local Business Men's Associa tion is taking charge of affairs and all may rest assured that no etforts will be spared to make a creditable showing for Cass county. Our farmers friends are particularly, urged to contribute of their best products, of all kinds, as it is large ly upon her agricultural advan tages that Nebraska puts forth her claims for superiority. All such may be left with II. N. Dovey, sec retary of the Association, from whom they will receive proper at tention. Assurance of support from a sufficient number of towns along the B. A M. has been given, to make it certain that the train will leave here Oct. lath. So it appears that Cass county will surely attain dis tinction of some nature; if it does not receive words of commendation that its citi.ens have taken hold of the mutter and made, a creditable exhibit, it will surely come into prominence because of neglect in the matter, and in this event the natural inference would be that we had nothing to exhibit' So since this more is really forth coming it behooves eery one to second the efforts of our business men ami place oi.r county in the front ranks, where it rightfully belongs. TlIK tin plate liars have denied so strenuously that any tin was ever made in American since the pas sage of the McKinley act that Major McKinley determined to make sure of it. So he went over to I'iqua the other tlay, visited a place where he was told they were making tin, found it unguarded, was admitted and allowed to make a dozen plates or so of tin himself, while watching the process. The major is nowable to be a witness that the tinplate liar is a liar for sure.- Lincoln loiirual Iris noticeable that McKinlev. the distinguished author of (be tariff bill, is the most popularspeak cr in the country this year. We ac count tor it by referring to the manifold blessing the new tariff law has conferred upon tin- people by furnishing them cheaper goods, creating at least one new industry ind opening up better ami more ex tended foreign markets for our pro ducts than we have ever enjoyed before. Mk'. I'Asskt puts it in about li-ilit when be says that enthusiasm, reg istration ami a full vote will iusiirc rcpublicau success in New York.

Kricke, Druggist, wt ARCONAUTS IN VERA CRUZ. Colli Hunter of '49 Vli.lt a Meilrun City uml Itm'otnti Discouraged. It was .Sunday morning when we drop ped anchor near St. Junn de Ulloa, with its quaint ancient tower, and the city ol Vera Cruz just before us. The uniformed customs officials speed ily hoarded us from a small boat, and while the clunking of some scores ol rnuiiea) Spauinh hells from the cathedral towers filled the air, the officers were en tertained by an encounter between two of our pugnacious gold hunters, who struck vigorously from the shoulder. Wt received a speedy ienuibiiioti to land, as the officials did not uppeur to enjoy our ontnpaniotisliip. Sunday .was passed in looking at the sights in the old Spanish city, battered and bninharded as it had been two years before by the artillery ol General Scott Walls and buildings constructed ol coral rocks were shattered as he had left them, fragments of bombs and solid shot lay about the streets where his cannon had fired thein, and along the beach were numerous dilapidated wrecks of suit boats where he had ahandoned them. Numerous army wagons, caissons and artillery carriages were scattered ulnmt, and thousands of Yankee made pack sad dies were offered us for our journey. These and much other paraphernalia, the production of army contractors, had only served the purpose intended that of en riching the contractors. The only pack saddle found useful was the Mexican one, consisting of two great pillows of leather connected and hung astride the mule, and weighing without the "cargo" some eighty pounds, on the top of which or suspended from it would be a load of some uu pounds. As our war with Mexico had just closed, and the ignorant masses yet held us in tho same enmity with which they had regarded their conquerors, matters did not look favorable for a peaceful passage over the whole extent of Mexico, especially as we- expected to follow the route taken by Scott's army and to pass over battlefields where, as wo learned, bleached skeletons lay still unhuried. The government, in fact the whole coun try, was yet in a state of demoralization, and guerrillas and robbers infested al most every mile of the way. Besides this, merchants of intelligence in Vera Cruz warned us that we were almost sure to be robbed and murdered, that if we should escape this fate we could not find provisions on onr journey for men or 'teafits, and that we would inert surely break down our animals and be glad to resort to horse or mule meat to sustain life. Impressed by these tales (which found fulfillment to some extent even as to mule meat, with rattlesnakes added), about fifty of the most pro iiouuced and boastful among our com pany took a return passage on the vessel for New York. Colonel A, C. Ferris in Century. Strange Fact About Arciilrntn. The collection of large groujis of facts about accidents which has beeu made necessary by the development of acci dent insurance has made a contribution to one department of social science that is by no means uninteresting. For in stance, it is a curious fact that a man is much more likely to lose his left hand than his right hand, or his left eye than his right eye; statistics show, too, that when a man insures himself against ac cidents he thereby greatly diminishes the risk of accident -and this is probably explained in this way: When a man's at tention is called to a danger he fixes his mind on it, and thereby couscionly or unconsciously makes unusual effort to avert it. It therefore happens that a man is more likely to ho a victim of an accident of a kind that he never thought of than of the kind against which he in sures himself. A man, for instance, who handles sharp tools will insure himself against mi accident from the use of them, and the first thing he knows he will be draw ing pay from an insurance company for an injury done by getting a cimb-r in his eye. Foiuui. Anliijulty of flin Wuler I'miio. The water pump of today is but an improvement on a Grecian invention which first came into use during the re'gn of Ptolemies Philadelphia and Encrgctcs, 28a to il'.'l IS. C. The name, which is very similar in all languages, is derived from the Greek word pempo, to bend or throw. The must ancient de scription we have of a water pump is by Hero, of Alexandre. There is no au thentic account of the general use of tha pump in Germany previous to the begin ning of the Sixteenth century. At about that time the endless chain and bucket works for raising water from mines lx gan to be replaced by pumps. In the Seventeenth century rotating pumps, like the Pappenham engine, with two pistons, and the Prince Hupert.with one, were first used. Pumps with plunger pistons were invented by Morland, an Knglisliman, in HiTl; the double acting pump, by De la Hire, tho French acade mician. New Yolk Telegram. 't;liiii llir,s, A traveler in Norway says that tho horses in that country have a very sen sible way of taking their food, which might be beneficially followed here. They have a bucket of water put down beside their allowance of hay. It is in teresting to see with what relish they take a sip of the one and a mouthful of the other alternately, sometimes only moistening their mouths as a rational being would while eating his dinner of such dry food. A broken winded horse is scarcely ever seen in Norway, and the question is if the mode of feeding has not something to do with the preservation of the animal's respiratory organs.
