Beach, three mile northwest of Exeter, for the past three years, eom , ruStted suicide about 6 o'clock yester day morning. A short time after Beck went out to do his chores, Beach heard iiim call out, and thinking a horse had kicked him ran out to the stable and found him lying on a pile of hay in jrreat agony. When asked what was the matter, he said he had taken strych nine and begged to die. He only lived .1 short time after Beach found him. Beck was twenty-two years old and was a young man of excellent charac ter and habits. He was considerable of 1 student and a great reader of books and newspapers of the better class.

Nebraska Citt, .Neb., April 28. Hannah Baldwin has filed her petition in district court asking for a divorce from her husband, Milton II. Baldwin. Some ten years ago the defendant joined a colony of Spiritualists and de serting her went to California. She also alleges that previous to that time he had at times treated her with ex treme cruelty, but said these acts were due to the influence of the spirits. For six years past she has not lived with Milton and in addition to the divorce asks for a portion of the defendant's worldly possessions. They were mar ried in 1853 and have four children, all of whom have families. High Wind at Lincoln. Lixcowf, Neb., April 28. The wind storm Sunday morning was terrific. It commenced about 2:30 and for two hours blew a perfect gale. Men who were out In it came in with their cloth ing as white as dust could make it. The streets were swept clean, the dust blowing in such clouds that one could not face It The front was blown out of a feed store at Fifteenth and - O streets and a peanut stand at Eleventh and P streets was given a severe shak ing up. Signs were blown down. Doors and windows rattled so tlmt the occu pants of houses could not sleep. 1 5 o'clock it was clear. Very little tain fell during the storm. Irrigation by Artesian Water. Verdigre, Neb., April 28. An ar tesian well has just been finished two miles north of this place, on the Ilay beck farm, at a depth of 743 feet. The hole is two inches and a good flow has been secured with a pressure of about fifty pounds per inch. The well was put in for irrigating purposes and es tablishes the fact that the artesian basin can be reached at a reasonable depth. This well was put down as an experiment and its success is of great importance to the vicinity, as a number of farmers are ready to follow suit, and will hereafter be prepared for dry weathor. To Tote on School Bonds. Juniata, Neb., April 28. A petition has been presented to the school board signed by 130 voters, asking that the board submit a proposition to vote $10, 000 build and furnish a new school house.

Mrs. II. F. Barnhart of this place attempted to drown herself in the Elkhorn near the ice house Sunday afternoon. She tied a piece of ribbon to a stick and then tied her pocketbook to the stick and laid it on the bank and then jumped in. ' William Mitchell and Ed Ehulow, who were about sixty rods away, saw her Jump in and ran to the spot and by the lelp of a fish pole rescued her just as she had gone down the third time. It is charged that her husband has been on a big spree and that they have had numerous quarrels. Bight s'ouareMr.Cleorge. , Viewed from a "(rood politics" stand point it would be too bad to preveut the democratic party from naming a gold bug to lead the ticket. Should the dem ocratic party, succeed in naming Cleve land or Carlisle it would be fair sailing for a southern and western bolt under the flag of Ti!!m an, but should they name a silver man to lead then the silver forces would be sorely divided, for the 3,000,000 populist voters of this nation could not be induced by any manner of means to make a single plank fight un der the rotten old banner of democracy. All good silver sympathizers will pray for tbe success of the administration forces at the Chicago convention. Den ver Road. THE LINCOLN OLIGARCHY. How They Rule the Province of Lancaster. Lincoln, Neb. April 20, 1890, Editor Independent: I wonder if your readers know tnat this community as well as this state is governed by an olig archy or perhaps more properly speaking by a limited mouarcby. Notwithstand ing they may not know it yet such is the fact. The king is Mr. Holdredge of Omaha. He may well be called "George, the first." - The ruler of the province of Lancaster county is D. E. Thompson. This is the same Thompson who was a partner of the good Mr. Mosher who wrecked tbe Capital National bank. David Eugene Thompson may be called the Tetrarch of Lancaster and the Gov ernorof Lincoln. He is assisted by J. W. Deweese, L. W. Billingsley, Bud Lindsey, Ed. Bignall and several miuor councel lors. If any man wants an office in this county be must see D. E. T. If be is on due examination found worthy and well qualified, thoroughly obedient and with out conscientious scruples bereceives tbe endorsement and royal seal of Governor Thompson and is nominated by the re publican party and elected by the people. Thompson has limited power in and of himself but, when backed, as he is, by king George and his railroad u not royal influence, he is well nigh irresistible. 1 tie way they do it is to Duy or buiiy ail the republican newspapers either with money, patronage passes or promises of offices for editors. Then tbey buy up all the leading and active politicians ot the party by passes and promises. Then they get it understood in the community ot politicians that no man can hope for success except witn tneir aia ana in fluence. Thereupon the machine is organized and in ruuning order arid whatever the king or local governor says goes. And woe be tide t lie luckless fool who once having been elevated to office by their aid, so far for gets himself as to fail to do anything demanded of him.or to do anything they forbid him to do. He is blacklisted. turned down, fired out and finally dis posed of in short order. The prayer of each successful officer holder, is, if he hopes for continued success, "Oh King George, and Oh Gov. D. E. T. what wilt thou have nie to dor aud when he has learned what they will have him to do, let him do it, aud that quickly, as he values his political life. For this our king and governor is a jealous king and a jealous governor and neither of them will have any other king or uovernor De- fore them. The object of this monarchy and oligarchy is to levy tribute on the people. They reward their rascals and servants with places and public offices and railroad passes of which they have a great plenty. The pass is the most general and effective weapon with the ordinary man, but those more aspir ing are given places. Every office and public position is carefully farmed out to their retainers aud unless a man has been found faithful and obedient be can got nothing.even down to the humble po sition of guardian of the cuspidors in tbe in the official chambers. They dictate who shall be the makers, judges and exe cutioners of the law. They determine who shall sit as jurors and who shall act as bailiffs in our court rooms. Gov. Tompson's object and reward is to be given an electric light contract with the city at exorbitant rates and to supply all the public offices with light athis own prices and to use the council for all the jobs he can set up and be protected in all th9 law suits he or his insurance company may have with the people. King Holdrege's object and purpose is to run his railroad as he pleases and be protected in the courts. And they are successful in attaining their objects. Long live our great good king, George the first and long iive the governor David Eugene. Job Lackland. DtfnM Dtnnot b Cnwd by local application at they cannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear.

It is also recommended that the cre dentials from each county be handed in to the state central committee, prior to the meeting of the state convention, so that a full list of delegates can be made out and the tedious delay occasioned by a committee on credentials avoided. It is also recommended, in accordance with a resolution passed by the state central committee, that in the state con vention, the following plan of selecting delegates to the national convention be adopted: That nine delegates and nine alternates be selected from each con gressional district by the delegates present; and that three delegates and three alternates be elected at large. It is urgently requested that every member of the party, who possibly can do so, attend the primaries, so that those selected as delegates may represent the wishes of the entire party. Every voter in Nebraska, who favors an American system of finance and is opposed to the gold standard, bond issuing policy of the present administra tion; who favors the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at 16 to 1; who favors reform in our systems of money, land aud transportation; who favors more economical administration of national aud state governments; who is opposed to the further domination of .corporations in our legislation; who be lieves that the government should be brought closer to the people; and finally, who is ready to cast aside prejudice and vote for the common prosperity of all; every such voter is cordially invited to participate in our primaries and assist in the selection of our delegates. By order of the state central com mittee. J. A. Edgerton, F. D. Eager, Chairman. Sec'y. M ill a Plutocratic Preacher Steal ? No small amount of discussion has beeu caused in New York church circles by the fact that the beautiful and con vincing Easter sermon preached by Rev. Dr. Parker Morgan, pastor of the church of the Heavenly Rest, of this city, was taken bodily from a book of sermons preached many years ago by Rev. George Putnam. Dr. Morgan admits the truth of the charge, and in extenuation says he was so overworked at Easter that he had not sufficient time to prepare a sermon of his own. Dr. Morgan is a popular preacher among the fashionable set in that town, and preaches to many millionaires every Sunday. In tbe present matter the church officials are disposed to stand. by him. We'll Elect Them All. The Populists of Nebraska should make a strong effort to elect the next Hoard of Public Lands and Buildings as well as the governor. The attempt of the present board to turn over one of our state institutions to the mercy of political jobbers should stimulate us to make a stronger fight than ever in order to attain a total victory over the old rotteu state house ring of boodlers. Let every Populist unite for the purpose of fighting the enemy and "Stand up for Nebraska." Peoples Banner. What Thurston Fought For. With the certainty of a republican ad ministration in power a year from now Senator Thurston will be the arbiter of republican patronage for our state. As the republican senator from Nebraska no nomination can be confirmed in the sen ate to which be opposes objections. He will dictate the selection of the postmas ter at Omaha and will abeolutelycontrol the choice of all the large federal offices. He will have no senatorial colleague with whom he will be compelled to consult or to share responsibility. btare Journal THE HEWBEERY FREIGHT BILL- The Supreme Court will Declare it constitutional- Washington, D. C, April 20. The supreme court doday announced that it would require a rehearing and reargument of the Nebraska maximum rate cases. This decision of tbe court was a great surprise, as tbe cases had been heard by a full bench and a final de. cision had not beeu anticipated by tbe attorneys prior to the summer recess. J. M. Woolworth of Omaha, who with J. C. Carter of New York argued the cases of the railroad company, said this after noon that he was at a loss to understand why the court required additional argu ment, unless it was that they had al lowed insufficient timer to the attorneys for the discussion of the figures presented showing the ability or inability of the of the roads to continue in profitable oper ation under the law. There could not have been an even division of opinion in the court, because nine justices were on the bench when tbe cases were argued. Mr. Woolworth said the rehearing could probably not take place until next fall. The actionof the court is indicative of the present dissent of a majority from Justice Brewer's decision deliv ered in the circuit court in opposi tion to the constitutionality of the law and which, it will be recalled, laid down certain rules by which the expenses and profits of tbe roads were to be computed. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES. Are they the "Isms" that Frighten People- We are asked many times by old party men who are not satisfied with their party leadership, to abandon our "isms" and take up something that is prac ticable. . Let us see what those "isms" are. It may be said that our party creed is based on four fuudamental propositions, namely: . First The earth is the primary source of subsistence. Second Labor is the source of pro-, duction. Third Transportation is the means of distributing property. Fourth Money is the medium for ex changing values. These four propositions cover tne whole field of . human exertion. These principles are fundamental. All the rest are matters of detail. We believe that the earth is the lawful heritage of the people who live on it. We believe that every child bom into tne world has a right to live here and to a place to earn a livelihood. We believe in the right of property in land as in other things: but we do not believe that one person may properly hold more land than he can use while other men are in need of homes; How to solve the land question is one of our 'isms." We believe that there is work enough for all to do, and how to get the idle era ployed is another of our "isms." We believe that all the people are vi tally interrested in securing an equitable distribution of the surplus productions of labor. Hence we believe that trans portation is a public function and that it ought to be performed by public agencies. How to secure the most per fect system of handling our marketable products is one more "ism." 'We believe that money is the most subtle and refined of distributing agencies; that the proper function of money is to serve a public use; and that to allow private persons or corporations to issue money and control its volume and the rates of interest, is to put the people's property in the hands of specu lators. How to secure the best mone tary system is still another of our "isms" And these are all. Everything else is in volved in these. The people's party is tbe only great national organization that has set out on living lines. Its "isms" are so many broad and deep problems that all think ing men are now striving to solve.

Several of the Philadelphia manufac turers who are known to favor free silver have received letters from theircustomers and other manufacturers commending their course and urging them to stand up firmly for the white metal and more money.
