The attempt to organize a gigantic
salt trust has fallen flat There was too
much speculation in it to suit c-apital-igts.
The treasurer of Warren county,
Ohio, has been found short 63,000. He
in also charged with other crookedness
and is held under arrest. It appears to
be a hard year on crooked official all
along the line.
John L. Sullivan is under arrest in
Mississippi for fighting contrary to tlie
laws of the state. If lie and his opio
nent are both sent to the pen for a good
long term it will prove a benefit to tlie
world at large.
The employes on the Pekin Gazette, in
China have had their wages advanced
from 20 to 22 cents per day. The Gazette
has been published continuously for 800
years, and people in Pekin have now ar
rived at tlie conclusion that it has "come
to stay."
Omaha is rejoicing over tlie assurance
that a $500,000 tannery is to be located
there. This will be a gain for tlie eutire
state as it will be an industry Uiat will
benefit the entire state. Every man
ufacturing establishment that ojierates
in Nebraska benefits all the residents,
directly or indirectly.
It is reported that English capitalists
are getting in shape to purchase the cot
ton mills of this country. Should En
glish capital gain control of all it is re
ported to be after the people of tlie
United States will soon be eating Eng
lish bread, drinking English beer and
wearing English clothes.
An explosion occurred in an express
car near Quebec a few days ago, which
killed the express messenger and totally
wrecked tlie car. The passenger coaches
and sleepers were filled with people,
among whom were some of the officials
of the road, but none of them were in
jured. Tlie explosion is a mystery.
A young man by the name of Harry
Beybold, teller of the Bank of Wheeling,
has confessed to the taking of $27,000 in
April last. He pretended that he had
drawn a prize in the Louisiana lottery,
but it did not work. It seems to be al
most impossible for a person to do
crookedness and not get caught at it.
Nearly two millions of dollars contrib
uted to the Johnstown flood sufferers
still remains in the hands of Gov. Bea
ver. The total cash contributions foot
up to over $2,380,000. It was a great
disaster and oaUtd for help from all over
the nation, which was freely given, and
it is to be hoped that it will be judicious
ly distributed.
Senator Paddock has sent word to
Judge Groff asking that he come to
Washington at once. It is taken as ev
idence that tlie prospects are good for
Judge Groff being appointed to the va
cancy on the interstate commission.
Such an appointment is greatly to be de
Bred by the people of Nebraska, and all
the western states.
C. M. Hull, editor of the Boliver
county Democrat, at Rosedate, Hiss.,
Waskilled by L. A. Wessinger, editor of
the Review of that place. The tragedy
grew out of a newspaper controversy.
The murderer is in jail. The deed was a
cowardly one, as the shot was fired
Without warning, as the murdered man
was returning from dinner.
President Harrison recently sent a let
ter to Lord Mayor of Dublin Sexton,
thanking him for generous contributions
to the Johnstown sufferers, and the lat
ter declares that the envelope was tam
pered with before reaching him. Post
master General Wanamaker is investi-
gating the matter and will probably
make it interesting for the culprit should
he be discovered.
A scheme is proposed by some persons
of a scientific turn of mind to move the
Icelanders to Alaska. The plan is said
to meet with the approval of many of
the Icelanders and the details of the plan
will be arranged and the matter placed
before the people. It is said that the
lava from the volcanoes have greatly re
duced the limited amount of fertile land
now in possession of the Icelanders,
A short time ago a Canadian schooner
was caught violating the laws in Ben
rings sea and was promptly siezed by
a revenue cutter belonging to the United
8tates and acting under orders issued in
pursuance to a law passed just' before
the close of Clevelands administration.
The Canadians are furious over the mat
ter but they will find that they cannot
Muff the pnsent administration, no
matter how fierce they try to look. If
the United States has any rights it is
safe to say that they will to protected

Postmaster Paul, of Milwaukee, has
taken advantage of a little delay and
handed in his resignation, thus saving
himself tlie disgrace of being bounced.
That was the cheapest way out of it
The indications are good for tlie early
completion of the Nicaragua canal.
Portable buildings of all descriptions are
being shipped from New York to Gray
town and tlie workmen will soon be well
housed. It will prove of vast impor
tance to tlie shipping interests of tlie
commercial world.
The requisition for tlie extradition of
Burke from Winnepeg has been granted
and that now noted personage in the
mysterious Cronin murder case is in
Chicago. It is to be hoped that tlie au
thorities will get at tlie facts in tlie mat
ter and that the guilty jiarties will be
brought to justice.
A terrible fire occurred at Spokane
Falls W, T., on Sunday afternoon and
could not be subdued until it liad des
troyed almost every building in tlie city.
There are but meager reports, but a
great many people are known to have
lost their lives. Tlie property loss Is es
timated at $6,000,000 and the total in
surance at about $2,339,300.
Elsewhere in this issue appears a re
port of tlie people's convention held in
Five Points precinct on Tuesday, Aug.
6th, 1889, at which a full ticket for the
coming election was nominated. We do
not know all of the men placed in nomi
nation, but those whose aoquaintam-e
we have formed are good men. Tlie re
sult of tlie nominations must be (Willed
at the polls in November.
Tlie efforts made to secure a pardon
for Cincinnati's notorious bank presi
dent, E. L. Harper, now serving his term
in the penitentiary, are not likely to
succeed. Executive clemency has lieen
invoked, but President Harrison will, in
all probability, follow the recommenda
tions of the attorney general, who is un
derstood to be averse to allowing the
bank wrecker to escape his just deserts.
Tuesday's papers brought the an
nouncement that on Monday the presi
dent appointed W. 1L McCann, receiver,
and T. F. Powers, register of the hind
office at Chadron. This news will be
received with pleasure all over the land
district, for it has been a matter of much
concern to the settlers that a change be
made, as there appeared to be more de
lay in tlie workings of the office than
seemed necessary. The date has not yet
been given when the change will take
place, but it is to be hoped that it will
soon. We have never met Mr. MeCann,
but are informed that his appointment
was Senator Paddock for assisting him
two years ago last winter when he was
elected senator, and he is said to be
thoroughly competent to take charge of
the business of the office. We have met
Major Powers and believe his selection
to be a good one. He is a staunch re
publican and lias a good war record and
is a good business man. It is safe to
predict that the settlers will not be de
layed in the future by papers being held
an unnecessary length of time at the
land office, and that the office will be
conducted in a manner which will re
flect credit on the republican adminis
tration. The flopping over among the papers
from the democratic to the republican
side of the house goes merrily on in
many parts of the country. It is to be
hoped that they will be given plenty of
time to prove that their conversion is
thorough before they are taken into full
membership as republicans. When a
tough comes out and says he has re
formed, the shrewd business man does
not take him at his word and place him
in possession of his business secrets and
the keys to his cash drawer. He may
wish to encourage the fellow in his self-
reformation, so he places him in such a
position that he can prove by honesty
and faithful work that lie is sincere in
bis endeavors to do right, and then, after
a while, he is given positions of more
trust and profit The same rule ought
to apply to the work of parties. If
man has been a democrat or a mug
wump all along and now that the repub
lican party is in favor he announces that
he has experienced a change of heart and
desires to be taken into the republican
fold, it is not the proper thing to receive
him with open arms and nominate him
for the best office on tlie ticket Let
him first prove that he will do to trust
before he is put in possession of the con
fldenoe of the party.
Many of the farmers are asking daily
if Sioux county is going to make an ex
hibit at the state fair. All we can tell
them is that we want to, but it is out of
the question for us to do it all by our
selves. If the farmers will bring in the
stuff to exhibit and the people in general
will put in a little money to defray the
necessary expense of men going there
to take charge of it and talk Sioux
county to the thousands of people who
will visit the fair, then is no question
that a great amount of good can be done
forth county and many settlers se
cured. This is no one person's business
but is to the interest of all, for every
one who can be induced to become a res
ident of fek county adds something to
the value of the property of every on
who is at that time a resident. V the
fcswiataawMk!a of m
ganizsitkin and m-lect some one to whom
tliey will send rulucts and contribu
tions, the undertaking will be a success.
Tliere are plenty of thoe who are old
residents of the county who could tike
this matter in liand and look after it, and
unless some one dues take hold of it the
matter may as well be dropped. We
should like very much to see Kioux
county make a show at Lincoln, but un
less some action is taken in Uie near fu
ture it will be too late for tliis year. It
is necessary for the secretary of the
state board of agriculture to know tliat
Sioux county will make an exhibit at
least two weeks prior to September 6th,
in order that he may prejiare for its ac
commodation. Will some one take the
matter in liand?
