Three others were more fortunate; two men ..nd a boy were also thrown from the cars. One man had his leg badly bruised and the other: had his left arm badly hurt. The boy was scratched in the face and was bruised on the legs but not seriously- No one seems to know what caused the trucks to jump the track. Aldi, the man who was killed, was crushed and mangled in a hor rible manner. The cars passed over him, cutting him into and crushing him, from his stomach down, into a shapeless it.ass. His left eye was gone, and on his breast ere several bad cuts. Drs.

A reporter of THE II EKALD visited the Hrick and Terra Cotta Works superintended by Walter White, and found everything working harmon iously. (Juite a supply of brick is now on hand this being a dull sea son. The brick is made according to the German patent, which saves fuel but requires more laborjthan the old process. About 20 men are em ployed and very good wages can be made;, depending, of course, upon the amount of work done. We had a very pleasant talk with Joe Kelley, the foreman, and we were convinced in the short hour we had to stay, that he understands his business. New Republican Paper.

The sugar city base ball club played its last game yesterday, un less some moneyed people inter ested in keeping up the procession should come forward and guaran tee to pay the expenses. The Grand Island club has not given dissatis faction exactly, but the directors think that the luxury is too expen sive a one and that the club's pat ronage will not warrant a further continuance in the league. Only sixty per cent of the subscription has been used and will all be paid ip to date. Little attention has been paid as to what effect this will have upon the league. Official no tice has not been sent to the secre tary of the leayue, but he will be advised of the matter to-morrow, Line of Implements at THE NEWS IN BRIEF October 21 Has Been Set Aside as a National Holiday. K ANSAS COMIMJ H.UK INTO LINE John W. Foster of Indiana Appointed and Confirmed as Blaine's Suc cessorInteresting Ne braska News. Republicans of Iowa assembled yesterday at Des Moines in state convention and renominated Wil liam McFarland for secretary of state. C. G. McMeCarthy was nomi nated for auditor, while H. II. Hee son was nominated for state treasu rer by acclamation, as was also John Y. Stone of Glenwood for attorney-general. V The senate will tomorrow at 2 o'clock take up the bill for the free coinage of silver and the amend ments, when a vote will be taken. V W I. Tomlinsou, for seven years past editor of the Kansas Demo crat, published a card last night severing his connection with the paper and announcing that he would support the republicans in the coming campaign. Tomlinsou was one of the original Ilill boom ers, and after Cleveland's nomina tion publicly stated that he would bolt if a fusion electoral ticket and the people's party state ticket was supported by the democrats. Yes terday a dispatch was received from C. K. Holliday, Jr., editor of the paper, from Chicago, stating that Cleveland's name must be at the head of the editorial page. Tonilinson left the republican party during the (Hick campaign and is given credit for having taken ."0,()(l() republican votes out ot the party on the prohibition issue. In the card announcing his return to the republican fold he says that the material welfare of the state demands the defeat of the people's party and that good citizenship de mands the defeat of the "calamity howlers." It is recognized that the democrats will support the peo ple's electoral ticket for the pur pose of throwing the state out of the republican electoral column. Tonilinson announces that he "will join in no bastard fusion move ment that is utterly devoid of prin ciple and which is simply a dis gusting scramble for loaves and fishes." The dispatches this morning an nounced that President Harrison had appointed General lohn W. Foster, of Indiana, as secretary of state, and that he was immediately unanimously confirmed by the senate. On account of the absurd stories which have been published in democratic papers of alleged dis agree incuts between Mr. Hlaiue and Mr. Foster in the Canadian negotia tions the nomination of Mr. Foster was at once followed by rumors that the friends of Mr. Hlaiue in the sen ate would oppose his confirmation. This idle rumor, which was only another device of the democrats to encourage the false statements about dissensions in the republican ranks and among republican lead ers, met a prompt death blow by the immediate and unanimous confir mation of Mr. Foster. It is well understood that Mr. Fos ter's tenure of the office of secretary of state will terminate on March 1 next, when President Harrison will again be inaugurated and when he will announce his new cabinet. The appointment of Mr. Foster is therefore only a temporary one, de signed to bridge over the interval between the resignation of Secre tary Hlaiue and the beginning of the second term of his administra tion. The appointment of Mr. Fos ter, although temporary, is espe cially desirable, not only on ae countof the personal character and diplomatic accomplishments of the appointee, but also because of his peculiarly intimate acquaintance with the business of the state de partment in general and espe cially with the detiiils of the most important question now before that department -the settlement of the Itering sea controversy with ling land by arbitration. V lion. Thos. Carter, commissioner of the general land office, has found that his official and private busi ness will not permit him to serve as secrec tary of the republican na tional committee, and he will resign at the first meeting ol the commit tee. John King, editor of the Litchfield Monitor, was placed in the insane asylum at Norfolk yesterday. Ilis friends have hopes of his speedy re covery. Kaiiiuiaker Melbourne began ope rations at Nelson yesterday. Clouds began to gather about 2 p. in. and i ' few drops of rain fell. A heavy north wind drove them away but toward evening clouds began to gather and indications point to a heavy rain. V The delegates to the prohibition convention at Cincinnati put in a hard day's work, ending Lite last night after three sessions. A per manent organization has been ef fected, with Fli Ritter of Indiana as presiding officer, and Sam Small, the Georgia evangelist, as secre tary, and to-day the convention will be ready to pass upon the platform and nominate their candidates. In a general way Hidwell of Cali fornia seems to have the lead for the presidential nomination, while Demurest of New York is hardly as prominent as yesterday. Judge McCullough of Illinois gained a great deal of ground during the day. The proceedings before the plat form committee show that there is a decided feeling in favor of the prohibitionists taking strong and idvanced grounds on various pub- lie questions other than prohibi tion. V li. . West ot I oik county was yesterday appointed alternate for J. M. Weisse on the world's fail commission. The house committee on the elev enth census have decided to report favorably on the bill to appropriate tfL'.-iO.UH) to publish the eleventh cen sus, President Harrison has signed the joint resolution of congress making October 21, 1W2. the I'Wth anniversary of the discovery of America, a general holiday, l-'rcim i"r i it u y h Unity. The republican state convention will be held at Lincoln August 4th, and Chairman Mercer of the state central committee will sound the preliminary tap of the travel al 10 o'clock. That was the decision arrived at last evening by the state central committee which met at republican headquarters to consider the mat ter. The committee was unusually well represented. A number of aspiring candidates were on hand, looking carefully af ter their boomlets. Among them were 1 1. C. Withaiu of Pawnee City and Joseph T. Hat tley of Atkinson, both of whom aspire to the eustodi anship of the state's cash for tin next two years. State Treasurer Hill was there, bestowing smiles of approval on each. Then there were Kugene Moon; of Norfolk, P. O. I ledlund of lloldrege and J. O. Cline of Minden, each and every one of them anglingfor assistance in cor raliug the nomination for Auditor Henton's job, and Auditor Hcnton was quietly whispering how much better it would suit him to have (ieorge Howcrmnn, his present deputy, named for the place. Judge Hays of Norfolk was nurs ing his congressional boom, and Judge O'Neal was there to allow his friends to point out his line features for congressman from the "Dig Sixth." Secretary of State Allen and A. G. Humphrey, commissioner of public lauds and buildings, looked serenely on, and thought how much better it was to quietly take a renoniination for a second term according to pre cedent than to get out and hustle for the first one. Kditnr Hushnell of the Lincoln Call was there to urge the claims of the capital city for the convention, and Church Ilowetroved around the outskirts sizing up the political situation. The executive committee met during the afternoon and transacted such business as there was on hand, in the way of claims that demanded attention. After fixing the time and place of holding the convention, the appor tionment was lixed at one delegate for each county and one for each I pm votes or major fraction thereof cast for Attorney General Hastings in IS. I. C. li. Pollock, representing the young republicans of tin- state uni versity, addressed the committee, and a motion to invite the repre sentatives of the college clubs to meet with the committee carried unanimously. The committee adjourned to meet at Lincoln at 7 o'clock on the eve ning preceding the state conven tion. Omaha Hee. The platform was the cleaver which threatened at one time to split the party, but now the nation al prohibition party is united and to all appearances harmonious. The platform which caused the trouble is a broad radical docu ment. The absence of a free and unlimited coinage plank is note worthy, however, for the convention refused to accept the plain majority resolution of the committee and struck it from the platform without replacing it with any declaration on the silver question. The convention followed the sea sou's convention fashion and made a first ballot nomination for the presidency. General John Hidwell, the old California pioneer, a former cot gressman and now a wealthy bind owner of California, was the nominee by an unmistakable ttiajoi ity."recciving a1.) votes out of a total of t74, IV7 votes being neces sary to a choice. It was greeted with a deafening din ol cheers, whittles and cat calls. Cranfull of Texas was nominated lor vice pres ident. V The republicans of the Tenth Iowa district yesterday renomi nated Dolliver for congress. V The senate committee on the Co lumbian exposition h is decided to report favorably a bill in aid of the fair, substantially the same as that agreed by the house committee, providing for the coinage of M.iKM),. lino souvenir half dollars. It in cludes an amendment, however, providing that the fair shall be closed on Suudavs. V Secretary of State Foster assumed charge ol his office yesterday morn ing. REVEILLE.

COMHTTK1I HVTHK W.C.T. t', Miss Willard went to Cincinnati June 1M, for attendance upon the prohibition convention which met in that city June 'J'.l and :). She presided over a mass temperance meeting Sunday afternoon in Cen tral Music hall, which holds ten thousand people. This convention had l.l'.tl accredited delegates, the largest number of any national political convention held in the I'nited States this year. The last vestige of the state debt of Iowa has recently been liqui dated. Iowa, it will be remem bered, is a prohibition state.

The national convention of the prohibition party met at Cincinnati last week. K'epresentation in this couvt ntion is based on the vote polled by the party in the different states instead of on the number of congressmen ami senators a plan which it is proposed shall be adopt ed hereafter by republican Conven tions. The number of delegates in the prohibition convention, if all attend, will be LIHH, and it is expect ed tli.it everybody who has a right to a seat will be present. This will be the sixth convention of the prohibition party to nominate presidential candidates. In the five presidential elections the vote of the party was as follows: ls7.' "C17 17(1 Il,7:t7 issil i),(i7s 1M l.'iO.il'.'C. isss 'J I !,!! a This shows a considerable growth in the prohibition vote during the past twelve years, though not so great as the party expected. The two chief prizes of North western university, Hvanston (which had in all departments over two thousand, three hundred stu dents this year), are the Kirk prize for oratory, and the Hragdon prize for general scholarship. Hoth were taken by young women Misses Nettie J. limit and Cora Monnier Iv'awlins. Mrs. Potter Pal mer ami our World's and National W.C.T.

Lyman (iage, the famous financier, was also chost u ti the post of trustee, I lal f a in il I ion persons, it is said, are, in one way or another, employed on the Sabbath in connection with the drink trallb-, and 'JiK),(KHI of these are young people. "The saloon is not no American institution; ninety per cent of the saloon keepers are foreigners; there is a growing prejudice in em ploying sober men even to attend bars. It is absurd that a man can not draw up a legal contract on Sunday, while the saloon keeper is permitted to open and pursue his business. The saloon is bom of the devil, ami is a menace to soci ety. The alleged right to sell liquor and create drunkards who commit crimes is preposterous. Thesaloou is called the poor man's parlor, but the fact is, that except for the demoralizing influence of the saloon the poor man might have a parlor of his own." We are sorry to say that the majority of the speakers seemed, in spite of all the points they made against it, to favor a continental rather than an American Sabbath. One of the worst results of foreign travel is the un-Americanizing of our poo pie. The I'Vee church of Scotland has fiil'i ministers, all of whom are ab stainers, and a total membership of nearly l'd,()!K),lK;:) teetotalers. It is suggested by Mrs. Moots, superintendent of evangelistic work in Michigan, that the national W. C. T. I'. have a flag of itsown.and that it consist if the banner of our native land with one large white star in the center of the blue fie ld, to rep resent the state of Wyoming, the only commonwealth on the face of the earth that has given to women the same powers in the government by which they are controlled, that it has given to man. At a recent election in Michigan the W. C. T, 1'. Iliingout such a banner on election day from its headquarters, and it proved to be a most suggestive ob ject lesson. We believe that such a (lag would be the best sort of au ad. vertisenient of our conventions national, state, district and county and would make any amount of helpful sentiment, if this sugges tion strikes our members favorably they will, of course, feel perfectly free to act upon it. J. P. Antill has fitted up the south room over Dunn's feed store for an ice cream parlor and will furnish the best of ice cream and cake for 10 cents a dish. t
