'vjindlall of a sudden and without any
"anting, the trucks of the car upon
iJwhich he was riding, jumped the
.'track, throwing him between the
cars which passed over him, cutting
him all to pieces. 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

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

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.

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 '

north wind drove them away
but toward evening clouds began
to gather and indications point to a

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

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

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:

"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

It is suggested by Mrs. Moots,

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.
