v
Minneapolis, Minn., June 7.-Perhaps
it was fitting that the patriot
ic airs "Columbia," "My Country
Tis of Thee" and ' The Star Span
gled Manner" should prelude the
national convention. Scarcely hail
the last echo of these inspiring
noclodics died away when Chair
laanClarksnu rapped the republi
can convention to order.
Win. Kusll, chancellor of the uni
versity of Lincoln olfered a prayer.
lfon. M. II. Do Young, of Califor
nia, one of thi' secrctaricy of the
national committee, read the offi
cial call for the convention.
Fassett Unanimously Chosen.
Chairman Clarkson then an
nounced the Hi-lection of Hon. J. S.
Fassett of New York for temporary
chairman. There was a moment's
hush, everybody awaiting possible
action by the I larrison element in
opposition to Fassett's selection,
but the anticipated content did not
take place. Xo one was placed in
nomination in opposition to him,
and he was declared unanimously
elected.
When Clarksou presented hini
the folhnvrrs of Maine broke forth
in prolonged, rousing cheers.
Fassett, in his specdi accepting
' the position, thanked the conven
tion for the honor conferred, and
asked the. generous forbearance
and co-operation of the convention
lie said that it was eminently fit
ting that tile republican conven
tion should be held in a temple
erected for the display of the pro
ducts of the protection to American
industries, Cireat i.pptause.

A Trip Up the River.
Simmit (Jakdkx, Plattsmoutu,
June (i, IWi-Kditor IIenald: 1
thought that perhaps I could fur
nish a few items of interest to your
readers in regard to a picnic excur
sion tip the river from this place
Sunday last on the sail-boat "Fred
Thomas," which is forty-one feet in
length and of about eighteen tons
capacity. The weather was pleas,
ant, accompanied by a good south
wind. The company numbered
thirty-one, consisting of eighteen
children, of ages ranging Iroin one
year to thirteen years, and thirteen
, grown people, all equipped with
baskets well filled with provisions
of all kinds, and pl-nty of ice and
ice cream freezers. They ull nssetn
bled on the bank at 10 a. in., and in
side of ten minutes we were sailing
up the river at the rate of ten miles
an hour, under the command of
Capt. C. H. Petersen, who showed
t good skill in navigation. We had
some trouble at the mouth of the
Platte in finding the righ channel,
and it would have been better if we
hud kept to the Missouri, although
we got through all right as it was.
At about ll 'M we reached Dutch
Point, above the mouth of the
Platte. The natives there number
ing about twenty-live assembled
on the bank to see what was
coming, which made a miniature
picture of the landing of Columbus
.it San Salvador. Salutes were ex
changed by the waving of white
handkerchiefs. We halted, but,
fearing a hostile demonstration, did
lot land. At that time the wind
-was blowing furiously and we were
moving along at the rate of forty
miles an hour. In getting above
Tarkeo Hend we met with our first
shipwreck, by the breaking of our
mast-pule, thus letting our sail
drop down. Then we lloated back
about two miles to Dutch Point,
tied up the vessel and selected our
picnic ground, which was a beauti
ful glen, carpeted by blue-grass
and shaded by native elms and
boulders. In a short time the
sound of the bark whistle was
heard in the woods and the merry
laughter of the children engaged in
playing an 1 swinging. While the
ladies busied themselves in spread
ing a bountiful repast under a
large elm tree and the gentlemen
and some of the young ladies, took
part in an exciting name of base
ball, Captain Petersen and myself
went to the boat to repair the mast
pole, which was done in a few
ininulcs. At about 5 p.m. we em
barked for home and arrived at the
place of starting ut 7 o'clock.
On the return, in rounding Dutch
Point, my attention was drawn to
the fact that it would be very easy
for the railroad company or the
government to change the current
of the Missouri river by cutting a
ditch of about forty rods' length
across Dutch Point at the mouth of
the Tarkeo and letting the Missouri
strike the Platte nt the head of the
second slough coming down the
Platte, which would soon cut its
own Channel through, making the
river straight from Plattsinoiitli to
Dutch Point, thus getting away
witn that cast bend of the Missouri
and the unlimited expense of rip
rapping. K'espect fully,
J. V. Thomas.

Yesterday's Ball Games.
AT HEATKKK.
Heatrice scored her ninth consec
utive victory yesterday by winning
from Grand Nland in a hot game.
For three innings Summers' for the
visitors, was batted terrifically, three
base hits and a home run being
made oil of him in the third and
fourth innings, netting the locals
live earned runs. Derrick was weak,
but was well supported, retiring in
the seventh in favor of Holmes. A
big crowd was in attendance and
the game was fully as satisfactory
as the one the day before. Kennedy
made several phenomenal stops
and Holmes made his first fielding
error of the season by mulling a lly
after a hard run from outer left lield.

AT HASTINGS.
Hastings participated in an ex
citing up-hill game yesterday after
noon. Kearney played a game full
of ginger from start to finish. The
visitors had the game won in the
seventh, but the locals put on their
batting clothes in the ninth and
hammered out the game. Castoue
went into the box in the ninth,
during the cannonading by Hast
ings, but could not save the game'
The decisions of the umpire were
frightful. He seemed to be com
pletely beside himself. He re
ceived a great ovation from the
grand stand. The features of the
game were the hitting of Chiles,
McFarland and Fear. Rohrer
played a brilliant game, accepting
nine difficult chances without an
error. The pitching of Lippert was
excellent. The score:

A DiuiU'iTouii TlgreNii.
A well known student of the habits of
wild animals, writing of the stealthy
ami dangerous character of tlio iaan
tilting tiger, mentions u case that hap
pened a few years ngo in the N.vtiur
district in India. A tigrtP9 had killed
so many peojilo that a largo reward was
oirered for her destruction. Sho had
recently dragged away a native, but
being disturbed had lot't tho body with
out devouring it.
Tho shikaris believed that nhe would
return to her prey during tho night, if it
was left undisturbed upon the spot
where she had forsaken it. There were
no trees, nor any timber suitable for the
construction of a niucham. It was ac
cordingly resolved that four deep holos
should be dug, forming the corners of a
square, the body lying in the center.
Four watchers, each with his match
lock, took their positions in theso holes.
Nothing came, and at length the moon
went down and the night was dark. The
men wero afraid to go home through
tho jungles, and so remained where they
were. Some of them fell asleep.
When daylight broko threo of the
shikaris issued from their positions, but
tho fourth had disappeared; his hole was
empty. A few yards distant his match
lock was discovered lying upon the
ground, and upon the dusty surface were
tho tracks of a tiger and tho sweeping
trace where some large body had beeu
dragged along.
Upon following up tho track the re
mains of tho unlucky shikari were dis
covered, but the tigress had disappeared.
Tho cunning brute was not killed until
twelve months afterward, although
many persons devoted themselves to tho
work.
All Kxcelli'iit Mctlinil i.f llxcrolslnu.
