Sold Bog-ua JCxtarmlmators.
Gbaxd IsitisB, Neb., July 30. Quite
a number of Grand Island people have
recently paid SO cents for a tablespoon
full of fine salt. It was put np in en
velopes which were labeled "Improved
Moth Exterminator," and smelled con
siderably after the substance they
were purported to contain. The odor
left the envelope about three days
after being left in a piano and the fake
was thus discovered. The smooth
young man who sold it has sought oth
and unknown fields.
A General Rainfall.
LracoLN, Neb , July 30. Weather
forecasts said nothing about rain for
Nebraska Tuesday, but notwithstand
ing that fact the clouds yielded an
abundance of water at 7 p m. The
rainfall at Lincoln was very heavy
for a half hour, and it is supposed an
inch fell. It was quite general over
the state, extending as far west a s
Ravenna and Beaver City. On account
of the advanced condition of corn
farmers feel that there is little nee d
tor more rain so far as the crop is con
cerned. An Old Resident Dead.

Fisher died at 13 o'clock Tuesday.

iata. She was seventy-six years of
age, and leaves an aged husband, and
a large family of grown children.
She was buried in Juniata cemetery
yesterday.

her residence and going into the 11

on fire. The stereoscope had been left

that the sun's rays shone through and
threw the light on the carpet, which
was burned through and the floor was
charred. It was soon extinguished.

Nibbaska Citt, Neb., July 30.
Secretary J. Sterling Morton has been
petitioned by a large number of Ne
braska Democrats to deliver a lecture
on finance before he returns to Wash
ington. He has not yet indicated a
disposition to comply. It is hinted

of the Norton boom for president by
the sound money Democrats.

Wahoo Bryan Club.
Wahoo, Neb., July 29, 1896.
Ed Independent: There was orga
nized here last night a W. J. Bryan tree
silver club with 257 members. Owing
to the rainy night there were 150 more
who have signed for membership that
could not be present, thus our first meet
ing virtually starts with 400, and we
will here soon be nearly 16 to 1, com
posed of republicans, populists and dem
ocrats who favor the courageous and
able "young men eloquent."
Nitrogenous Fertilizers. When a
soil is rich in humus it is seldom neces-
. sary to make any further application
of nitrogenous fertilizers, and as all
nitrogenous fertilizers are very quickly
soluble, and are soon lost to the soil
by both leaching and volatilizing, they
should never be used until the crop
has made a considerable growth.
A Postal to Bryan.
The following verse was sent to Mr,
Bryan from New York city, it was writ
ten on a postal card and signed by Liz-
- zie.
"Toe chinch bug eats the larraer'i crop,
The wild bee get hie honey;
' The bed bag tucks his blood.
And the gold bng gets hit money."

WATSON WILL RUN.
Accepted the Position to Sarsthe
Party.
And will not Resign Under Any Consider
atlon. New York, July 27. The World this
morning publishes the. following signed
dispatch from Thompson, Ga., sigued
Thomas E. Watson.
"To the questions asked me I reply as
follows:
1. will run the race to the end.
2. I will make the fight even if Mr.
Sewall does not withdraw.
3. My opinion of the Fifty-second con
gress, which was arraigned in my book,
has undergone no change.
4. 1 am not a political trader and will
not resign in Se wall's favor even if offered
a cabinet position.
Having answered your questions,
please allow me to state briefly my rea
sons for the replies to questions three
and four. I allowed the use of my name
to save my party from extinction. In
my opinion the continued existence of
the peoples party is indispensible to the
success of free silver. For me to with
draw would be for me to sign the death
warrant of my party. Ours is the party
of free silver and we maintained that
policy while the democratic party in
1892 and 1894 was making war upon it.
We do not think our party should now
close up and quit buiiness simply be
cause the democrats have partially du
plicated our sign board. If the demo
crats are so unreasonable as to refuse
us populists of the south any recogni
tion at all, that fact would show that
the apparent adoption of our principles
is to kill and not to enact those prin
ciples into law.
II the democrats are sincere, thev will
not try to put upon us such terms that
every man in our party in the south will
feel insulted and humiliated. If Mr. Bry
an did not want our support Senator
Jones had no business at St. Louis at all.
If Mr. Bryan does want our support,
he ought to be willing to adopt the pol
icy which will most certainly assure him
that support, and 'that po'licy is to ac
cept as a running mate a southern popu
list named by the unanimous voice of the
populist national convention. Our parly
has gone to the extreme limit of gener
osity in the effort to procure a union of
the silvor forces. We did not claim first
place on the national ticket. We are
content with the second."

THAT FAKE TELEGRAM.
Allen Told the Convention the Truth
About it.
That Senator Allen knew what he was
about when he refused to allow, what he
called a "fictitious" telegram, to be read
to the populist national convention is
proven by the latest news from St. Louis.
The telegram perporting to come from
Bryan and curtly refusing to accept the
nomination if Sewall was not also nom
inated, was printed in black faced type
in all the old party dailies, the object
evidently being to either split the con
vention or force the nomination of
Sewall. A press telegram dated St. Louis
July 28, says:
Senator Jones of Arkansas returned
here from his visit to Mr. Bryan at Lin
coln yesterday evening and left on a late
train lor his borne at Washington, Ark.
hen asked about theauthenticityfof the
telegram seut out by the association
press purporting to have been sent to
him by Mr. Bryan to be read to the con
vention he replied:
"l don t know anything about it."
The printed telegram was shown him.
but he would not read it. The reporter
then began to read the telegram to him.
I never received that, he interrupted
after a sentence or two had been read.
"It is a stagger at it, but it is not the
telegram."
W ill you give out tho real telegram?"
"No, I haven't that telegram to give
you. lou can find Mr. Bryan's attitude
in his published interview of Saturday
night. I have nothing more to give out."

Sakonville, Neb., July 1, 1896.
J. Y. M. Swig art, Sec., Lincoln, Neb:
Dear Sir and Brother: Your favor of the
12th inst., received yesterday, and in re
sponse I hasten to answer same and re
mit the $125 as requested. I have been
waiting for a call for our part to defray
the expense of defending our cause, (case
in supreme court.)
Our assessment is coming in nicely.
This is our second assessment. We made
an assessment in 1894 of 23 cents per
hundred dollars; this one is 10 cents per
hundred dollars to pay for a dwelling
destroyed by fire the 25th day of Jan
uary. But as the fire was caused by neg
ligence on their part, by placing ashes
in a wooden basket and placmg same on
a platform by the house, we did not feel
like paying the full amount. The dwell
ing was insured for $525 and we settled
for $262.50 but it took them a long
time to decide what they would do, and
therefrre the loss was not paid until June
9.
We have written $56,670.00 this year
so we are satisfied with the growth of
our company.
I expect to visit the state fair this
yjar in Omaha and shall try to be there
on the day the meeting is called for Mu
tual Insurance companies.
Wishing you great success, I am
Yours truly,
J. W, Israelson.
Next week populist convention meets
at Hastings. All persons interested in
mutual insurance are looking forward to
that convention for relief.
There are two officers, namely auditor
andattorney-general, whom our insur
ance people are interested in.
The mutual insurance companies of
the state .have saved thousands of dol
lars to those who have been carrying
their insurance with them.
On the other baud those who have had
losses have been kindly dealt with: they
have not been defrauded out ol the
amount justly due them.
Many of the companies have now
passed the age of an experiment, thus it
becomes necessary from a standpoint of
all stock insurance companies to-nullify
any mutual insurance law that may be
on the statutes favorable to mutual in
surance companies, hence the necessity
of nominating men who are known to be
in sympathy with the cause of mutual
insurance.
Our state is now over twenty-five
years old buh until the populist legisla
ture of 1890 passed the law favorable to
mutual insurance, no company could be
organized and incorporated without
$5000.00 in cash, but since 1890, the
mutual insurance law has saved thou
sands of dollars to the farmers of the
state.
Now comes the republican party and
in convention resolves in favor of mu
tual insurance. 1 do not know to what
extent the gall of that party will carry
them but it would be well to nominate
men who are known to be favorable to
mutual insurance in the populist party,
because at least one of the nominees of
the republican party cannot be relied
upon when the cause of mutual insur
ance is at stake, even though their plat
form may say that the party favored
mutual insurance.
There are a number of candidates that
have been mentioned for auditor, any
one of whom would be a good man and
would favor mutual insurance. We know
of but two candidates, however, for at
torney general, either of whom would be
good men. None of the candidates that
I have heard of would for a moment en
tertain any idea of crushing out a stock
insurance company, however, none of
them would become an agent (or attor
ney) 01 a mutual or stock company to-
work against the interest of a competit
ive company. We think that any of
them, would consider their office as a
state office and it would be their "busi
ness to. look out for the interest of the
people of the state as a whole instead of
looking out for the interest of a corpor
ation of any kind, however, we hope to
be able to meet a number of the mem
bers of our mutual insurance companies
at the convention and have a talk on,
these matters, probably have a confer
ence. I have received a number of letters
from different officers from different com
panies throughout the state expressing
themselves favorable to the conference
during fair week in Omaha. We will an
nounce the place of meeting in these col
umns before fair.
We will have headquarters on the
ground, probably in newspaper row,
the Nebraska Independent.
At these headquarters we are desirous
to have at least one representative,
whether he be an officer or not from every
company in the state. If an officer can
not go we hope he wili call attention to
I any member of his company, to the fact
that we have headquarters on the
ground, tell him where and we will try
and entertain mm wnqe tbere,
