Morton, corner of Eighth and Second avonue, had some thing for breakfast that was not down on the bill of faro, and was least ex pected. They wore sittiug at the table when "lightning struck a largo tree not more than ten feet away, and the lightning then rattled the bay window, melted the tin spout, tore off the screen from the screen door and bored a hole some two inches in diam eter in the refrigerator, and ended its merry dance by tearing out the west side of the refrigerator. The house was filled with smoke of a very sulphurous odor, and was set on fire in two places, but it 60011 went out. No one was injured, but none desire to be so close to lightning again. It's Too Had. Perhaps the sorest set of delegates that ever returned from a convention were the democratic delegates who re turned from Tecumsoh yesterday morning. Otoe couuty could have withstood honest defeat, but to be -.' turned down by Cass county was more " than human patience could bear and manv sought their beds. It was the old story of the lie-up between Lan . caster and Cass counties. Nebraska City Press. P. P. G iss'and J.G.

Mynard expect to have a big dele gation down at the reunion at Union this week. - Political affairs are the sole topic of discussion out this way.oand each side is certain nf the correctness of their position. A True Convert. A Beatrice insurance man slapped us on the back when wo weren't look ing yesterday, and when we regained our leet he said: You Keep slam ming away at Brjran in your usually tedious style, but you know very well that you will vote for him on election day." Soveral people have talked to tis in tne same way. 1'ornaps a utile personal history may not be obtru sive, since otners nave iivod ana aiea just as we have. During all our resi dence iu this country, up to the year 1892, we were strongly democratic; while we had not the glorious privi lege of voting, all our sympathies wore with the party of Jefferson and David B. Hill. We used to consider it a hard stroke of fortune or misfor tune that we were always employed upon republican papers. XVhen Gio- ver was lecteu,. noooay tnrew a nai higher than this misguided writer did. Then we went to Washington and had a long and harrowing experi ence with southern democrats of the old school; they are all alike, pompous and bombastic humbugs, with a contempt for the Nawth and Nawtheners that age cannot wither nor custom stale. i'hen en rue the panic in "JC, and it has been panic ever since until the word democracy leaves a sea green taste in the mouth. And just now, when pros- jMjctd are brightening, when the corn crop is assurod, and the time for sub scribing has arrived. Mr. Bryan comes along with his dizzy campaign, and ho starts out with so much bluster and flourish of trumpets that he has seared the country into the belief that he may be elected, and wo are accused of being secretly a partisan of his. Mr. Bryan is a personal friend of this de partment, and was long before his name was a housonoiu woru; ne nas done us many kind turns, and has our cratitude; but wo wouldn't vote for him under anv consideration in the world. Wo have had enough demo cracy to last us. for the next nine hun dred years, and the kind represented by Bryan is a thousand times worse than the worst we have yet experi enced. wait .Mason in lieairice ex press. l'lat tHimtt th iiun Club Shoot.

And Still They Come. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 11. Wil liam Singerly, whoso name heads the list of electors nominated at the Allan town democratic state convention has written a letter to democratic State Chairman Wright announcing his un willingness to support the Chicago convention platform and candidates. and asking that his name be withdrawn from the state democratic electoral ticket. Judge llroaly Nominated. Judge Broady of Lincoln was finally nominated for congress on the twenty fourth b illot by a joint convention of populists,detnocrats and froe silverites. Ho is a clean c.indidate, but that and much more can lo said of his opponent Judge Strode, who is on the right side of every public question.

A Housing Good Time Uad IJy Repabli. raui At Their Headquarters. The McKinley club held a big meet ing last evening at its new quarters in the Palmer block. H. M. Bushnell of Lincoln, with an ii resioiiuie array oi iacts ana ugures, delivered the principal address which was enthusiastically received. lie ex- piainea tne iauucics oi iree silver in a maeterlj' way, and added new zeal to the strength of the party workers. P. O. Hedlund, the republican can didate for auditor, also made a brief speech which was well received. J. L. Itoot, esq., pre sided at the meeting and in troduced the speakeia in a few well chosen words. One of the features of the evening was the splendid singing of the Lincoln Glee club. The crowd quickly tilled the hall which contained 450 chairs and almost aa many were turned away as were enabled to hear the speakers. Mr. Bushnell by way of explaining the more intricate pio posi lions uses a blackboard and makes clear the facts which he seeks to eluci date in a novel, though very satis factory manner. INFORMATION AND OPINIONS. XVhen our Billy li s elected it may surely ie ex pected That he'll lead the XVall street barons quite a mad and merry dance; And the weary man who labors then may lord it o'er his neighbors; For his pants will have no patches and, alas, he'll have no pants. Walt Mason. A Bryan man down in Otoo couuty gives it out cold that he has dis covered a snake in his vicinity sixteen feet iu length and larger round than a joint of stove pipe. Those Otoe county boys havo queer freaks of the imagination and when they pel queered on the impractical silver vagaries there is no telling where they will land. One of the observers, who has been listening to the learned discussions on finance on the street corners, reaches the conclusion that "the less a follow knows about finance the louder he talks. You hear men who could not run a peanut stand or a hand organ speaking of 'the money required per capita to handle the business. " Ex. Hon. C. E. Bentley, national party candinate for president, leaves today for an extensive tour on the stump. Mr. Bentley spends two weeks in Indiana and Illinois and then goes to Massachu setts and New England for a number of engagements. On his return from the east Mr. Bentley wili probably go to the Pacific coast for a few weeks and close his campaign in Nebraska. Ohio papers speak in high terms of the re cent speech of Mr. Bentley in that state, and his campaign appears to bo attract ing more attention on the whole than that of the regular prohibition nomi nee's. Lincoln News. A colored populist at the Tecumseh convention, who edits a paper at Lin coln, asked the names of a few promi nent colored men of Plattsmouth and stated that he would send them his paper free until after the campaign. In giving him the list a Cass county delegate gave the names of Bob Vass, W. D. Jones and Vet Draper, but we will nQt print the fellow's name who put up the job. The weather is too hot to attend a funeral. The democratic newspapers of this district which had so much criticism to offer about Bud Lindsay's prominence in republican circles were much cha grinned at the Tecumseh convention by hearing a colored delegate deliver the ablest and brightest speech of the session. Colonel XV. Morton Smith now threatens to prove to the iconoclastic Omahans that his Lancaster county McKinley club has 4,722 memboi s be taking them up to the metropolis in a body some day when they have a rally and turning them loose on the town. Lincoln' News. u he women vote in Xv joming, as is generally known, and last week when Perry Gats and Jus Iticbey visited that Btate thev found the women all talking politics. Jus was a little modest about tackling thein in a wordy contlict.but Perry wa9 in clover as soon as they got into the state. Jua says he is sure Perry convinced at least fifty ladies during their sojourn there that the right thing to do to save the country from panic and ruin, was to vote for McKinley. They both say that bets were even there that Me. Kiniey would carry XVyoming and the McKinley sentiment seemed strong enough to bear out that view. Colonel John Ley da was struck by lightning last night, greatly to the grief of his numerous admirers. The colonel was rehearsing a silver speech he intends delivering at the county fair, when a streak of lightening hit one of the adjectives he was using,and glancing, struck him in the neck, ne was carried in an unconscious condi tion to the Bryan' headquarters, where Colonel Kroehler poued a barrel of soup over him and restored him to his senses. The colonel says that he has come to the conclusion that Ajax was the preumium chump of all time. -Adapted from Walt Mason. Judge E. S. Dundy, accompanied Mr. Albert Edholm, left Wednesday afternoon for a bear hunt in the wilds of Wyoming. The judge and Mr, Edholm will vert' likely be absent about six weeks, and will camp for time in the Eale mountain ranch, which lies at the foot of Laramie peak. The judge will be visited dur ing his sojourn by his daughter, May Dundjr, accoinpained by Mrs. Itedick, The women will traval from Rock Creek, XVyo., (where they will be met by Mr. Edholm), on bicycles across the great Laramie plains wine forty miles to the foot of the mountains. Ne braska City News. Sheriff Trompen is in . receipt of a letter from ex -Sheriff Muddox ol Fort Worth,' Texas, in whichHhe latter says that a number of former Lincoln peo ple have been rufiling his democratic pride by paying that Mr. , Bryan was so uniopulur at home that he would not carry his city or county. He wanted the facts. The answer will bear to hi in the sad news that ho will not carry his own precinct ward, city or county, or his judicial, representa tive, senatorial or congressional dis trict, while its a 2 to J shot that he'll lose the state Lincoln News. - H "If lieople would remetnbor that Hour will extinguish blazing gasoline the knowledge would be of benefit," said a man of the house today. "Sun day tne tank of our gasoline stoe was blazing, and wet cloths were used without effect, when 1 remembered that I had read that Hour would ex tinguish the blaze. A handful did al most put it out, and another snuffed it out completely." It would be a good idea to paste this up, so that in an emergency it might save both life and property. Ex. liiana snys mat silver will "sweep Ohio." It will sweep Ohio just as it did in 1894, when young Thurman and a lew oiners loreed a iree coinage platform on the democrats and started out to "redeem" the state. The net result of their work was that the re publican candidate for secretary of 6t:te got a plurality of 173100. Ex. Coinage of Silver Dollars. W. li Curtis in Chicago Record: I am receiving a groat many letters of inquiry concerning the coinage of standard silver dollars during the last fiscal year, it having been as serted that coinage has entirely ceased. I am also asked man' ques tions relating to the operation of the mint and the use of silver certificates.

Round of Startling Victories Has m irked the path of the Deering Ideal Mower. No grass is too heavy or too light, no land is too rough and do service is too severe for this plucky little Ideal hero. Instead of friction bearings it has rollers and balls; tho crank shaft is parallel with the ground so that the SELF-ADJUSTING PITMAN moves steadily BACK and forth in work man like fashion: tho separated ledger plates hold the grasses like the roller of a feed cutter, and nothing can escape or draw in under the sickle; the adjustable drag bar pays the interest on the investment. The driver of the Ideal Mower can cut as slow as he likes and it is never necessaay to back when starting. The use of roller and ball bearings, has eliminated friction, and instead of grinding he bearings all the power is used in cutting grass. Drop in for a Catalogue.
