An insane man named Joseph Nick
man shot and killed his divorced wife,
wounded another man and then cut
his throat from ear to ear yesterday at
Miller, Neh.
Eli Perkins pot off the following at
a lecture in Minneapolis lonp ago: "A
Fan du Lac preacher, worn out with
trying to get a decent living, sent in
his resignation. Said he: 'Brothers
and sisters, I come to say good-bye.
don't think God loves this church very
much, because none of you ever die
I dou't think you love each other, be
cause none of vou ever tret married. I
don't think you love me, because you
never pay mv salarv. and your dona
tions are mouldy fruits and wormy ap
ples 'and by their fruits ye shall
know them.' Urothers. 1 am going
away from here, to a better place I
have been called to be chaplain of the
Stillwater penitentiary. 'Where I go
ye cannot come, but I co to prepare a
place for you.' Good-bye.5 "
The people of Nebraska can sympa
thize with the people of Ohio who have
and are still suffering from a drouth
of more than forty days duration,
scarcely any rain having fallen within
this period. It is inexplainable that
so large au area of the favored portion
of the country should suffer these ex-
treme hardships during the crop
reasons. Yet there seems to be no
imeana of escape, and we all have to
go in and bear it.
At the meeting of the democratic
state committee Wednesday evening,
three members, elected at the last
conveution, who refused to recognize
the regular organization, were voted
out ot tbe committee and their places
were filled by tbe appointment of men
from their districts. The men dis
placed were J. C. Crawford, D. W.
Cook aud Milton Doolittle. Themeet
iDg was well attended.
E. F. Warren lias shied his castor

The love of a mother is never ex
hausted; it never changes, it never
tires. A father may turn ix'xs back up
on his child, brothers and ahrters may
become inveterate enemies, husbands
may desirt their wives, wives their
husbands, but a mother's love endures
through all ; in good repute, in bavI re
mite. in the face of the world's con-
demuation. a mother still lives on aud
hopes her child may turn from his evil
ways and repent ; still she remembers
the infant smiles that filled her heart
with rapture, the merry laugh, the
joyful shouts of his childhood, the
opening promises of his youth ; and
she can never be brought to think him
unworthy. Ex. .

Hastings Democrat: The only issue
urged by the republican politicians and
press in the campaign of 1894 was the
state's credit. They howled inces
santly that the credit of Nebraska
would be ruined if Silas A. Holcomb
was elected governor. Their state
ment was false and has been proven
so. What a series of falsehoods this
grand old party stands charged with!
And still there are people who place
reliance in republican promises.
C. E. Wiley of Liberty precinct, a
prospective candidate for county
judge on the republican ticket, was a
Plattsmouth visitor Thursday, and
was shaking hands with people.
Charles Edward Wiley will stand a
poor chance in a Geld of race horses
like Barr, Spurlock JJeeson and Har

wood, according to the Echo: ''Del-
mar Saxton was so rattled Sunday
morning that he weighed out the
cleaver to a customer that called for a
round steak, and there were "many
other little deeds emanating from a
nervous spirit that he performed dur
ing the day. One was to start to the
meeting house where be leads the
choir, forgetting to exchange his old
butcher apron for his Sunday garb.
All this confusion was owing to the
timely arrival of a baby boy at his
house that morning.''
What came near being a fatal acci
dent occurred at TaLmage Weduesday.
Mrs. Wm. Cooper, a lady of about
sixty years, was filling a reservoir or a
gasoliue stove, the gasoline caught
fire, supposedly from the heat of the

Wool sales at Great Falls Mont.,

jubilant. Great Falls is one of the lar

Just before the Harvey-IIorr debate
the single standard press talked loud
and long of the great debate that was
coming and told how the Michigan
man was going to cover the free silver
man with ignominious defeat. Now
the single standard press is poking
fun at the debate, saying that it does
not amount to much, anyhow. This
is doubly rough on Horr. who seems
to be in a bad fix. Fremont Herald.
Nebraska is usually mentioned by
tbe eastern papers when they talk of
the terrible western cyclones. But ;s
ja matter of fact there was more prop-
erty destroyed and more people killed
and maimed last week in the tornado
in New Jersey than in Nebraska for
the past twenty-five years. Probably
the cyclone record in Nebraska is bet
ter than that of any other state in Ihe
union. Lincoln Journal.
The Nebraska City News dubs the

Unmitigated Gall.
The new paper at Flattsmouth that
came into the world to ' regulate1' the
republican party and "restore har
mony," is hard after a circulation and
sends out to each country postmaster
a big bundle of papers accompanied by
the following request:
Dear Sir Please distribute these
copies of the Tribune to the patrons of
your office republicans preferred
until our regular list is completed
which will be in about three weeks
Your compliance will be thoroughly
appreciated.
The Tribune Pun. Co.
Postmaster Wilcockson says the re
quest to give them to republicans is
superfluous because the democrats
can't read any way. Yet to avoid any
misplacement of the paper Mr. Will
cockson will run around from behind
the case and ask each patron of the
office their politics before giving them
a paper. The postal law prohibits
postmasters from distributing unad-
dressed matter or furnishing lists of
patrons. If the Tribune wants a sub
scription list it must hustle for itself.
Elmwood Echo.
Wait till next week, and the post
masters throughout the county may
receive another note, requesting the
names of those who consented to take
Ithe paper from them. Thus alist may
be made up.

In reply to au article published in
the Talmage Tribune of July oth, got
ten up by the "sports" of Talmage
and the Tribune in order to screen
themselves from public criticism, I
will say that I have wrestled from Chi
cago to San Francisco, and never met
so ungentlemanly and unprincipled a
set of men in all my travels as the
sports"" of Talmage aud the reporter
for the Talmage Tribune. That sheet
has maliciously and purposely mis
represented and falsified every bout
and every fall that was taken that
night, and to prove to the public that
they have lied and stolen the match
through a biased and drunken referee,
I have deposited $100 in the Nehawka
bank for all Talmage and John Gos
ney to cover on a bet of $100 to $500 a
side, the match to come off within six
weeks after signing articles, either in
Lincoln, Omaha. Plattsmouth or Ne
braska City. They can have their
choice of contracts the one at Ne
braska City or the one at Talmage.
Now. Talmage, or Mr. Gosney, here is
certainly a good chance for a wrestle.
My desire is that you either put np or
shut up; but you will never put up
and time will prove it.
You can have your choice either
George or myself.

Carraher of Union had a snap in the

Harvey Holloway of Plattsmouth is
very mucj dissatisfied with the treat
