The war departemeot at Washington,
expects any hour to hear of the fall of
Manila.
Twenty-five Chambers of commerce
along the sea coast of Spain have declar
ed for peace.
The fusionjpts win in California. Con
gressman James G. Maguire was nomin
ated for governor.
The 3rd Nebraska volunteers, Col.
Bryan's regiment left Omaha for
Jacksonville Fla., last Monday evening.
Porto Rico is the next point of attack
by the U. S. land and naval forces which
will doubtless take place within a fort
night. There isevery indication of an upris
ing in Spain among Don Carlists and
tha Wylerites combined, so say the speci
al dispatches from Madrid.
By the surender of Santiago and all
easter n Cuba 24,000 Spanish troops be
come prisoners of war to the military
authorities of Uncle Sam.
O. M. Hitchcock and the Exposition
managers at Omaha have displayed their
good ill in behalf of the country editors
in granting them free season passes.
Idaho, is another state to formally
announea tniough the Populists of that
state that thty favor united action ly
the three reform parties in the fall cam
paign. Commodore Watson now has his nail
ing orders for the coast of Spain . and
will proceed at once on bis mission
to teach that haughty and arrogant
nation, another costly lesson unless
peace be declared sooner.
Maj. Oenl. Nelson A. Milies, comman-der-in-dhief
of the land and naval forces
of the United States arrived on the scene
of action at Santiago in time to receive
the honor as one of the heroes aa Com.

was just completing the distruction of

The Illinois Democracy who held
their state convention at Springfield
July 12th have declared their allegeance
to Hon. W. I. Bryan as the matchless
leader of the nations democracy for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the present legal ratio; the endorsement
of the war against Spain and protest
against territorial expansion.
George Gould in order to evade the
war tax, claims that the f 5,000,000 be
quetlied to bim by his father was not
a gift but a salary of $500,000, a year
for a period of ten years. Thus it will
be seen that the rich will find some way
if possible to get out of paying their just
share of the war taxes, yes, and all other
taxes. The poor man mint pay it.
Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews, president
of Brown university of R. Island, was
elected superintendent of the Chicago

who was requested to resign as president
of t hat university by the gold monoraet

free silver proclivities.
Double Drowning.
The startling news of a double drown
ing, reached towa yesterday at noon. It
was reported to have occured on Lone
Tree a dry creek four or five miles west
of Chadron.
At once men and team sped for the
scene of tbe drowning with ropes and
hooks to assist in recovering the
bodies.
The story of the drowning told by
the grief strickeo women was about as
follows: A party consisting of Mr, and
Mrs. Wm. Thompson, Henry and Theo
dore and Miss Lena Thompson, all of
Lakeside Nebraska. Mrs. F. A. Allen
and Miss Lou Swoyer, of Cedar Rapids,
la., Miss Ella Watson Aurelia, Iowa;
Mss Carrie Thompson Winteset la.; and
they had been to Sylvan Lake 8. D. on
an outing trip. They were returning
from the north and the team in the lead
carrying Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Thompson
and, his brother Henry and sister Miss
Lena.
Coming to the dry creek not more
than a hundred yards or so from tbe
Dakota Junction depot, they discovered
it containing back water from White
river and the ladies asked to get out of
the buggy and the gentlemen let them
alight and then drove into the water
little dreaming its depth or lurking dan
ger. The ladies started to go around on
the railroad track and . were not to ex
ceed flfty feet from the men when the
team buggy and men plunged into a
hola that afterwards measured fourteen
fent deep. Tht.y all went down together.
Mrs, Thompaon last saw her husband
clinsring to the bows of the vehicle and
as he could swim, she believes he was
held by some fastening. His brother
Henry could not swim and floated off
down with the tide water. He rose and
sank three times and the last time Mrs.
Thompson who ran along the waters
edge could almost reach him. '
Mrs. Thompson was Miss Lulu Ken
dall until just a month ago yesterday,
and she is a sister to E. 8. Kendall late
of tbe "Recorder," and was a student in
the Academy In this city last year.
After tbe drowning, the ladies help
less is despair turned and walked to V.
A. Birdsall with the awful story. Help
followed he spreading of the news and
at 4:20 one of ths bodies was recover
ed.
The second section conveying the
baggage and the other five members of
the party came along and in sight of the
scene of the calamity about the middle
of the afternoon only to find a large
party in search of the drowned men.
The drowned men were brothers, aged
25 and 17 years respectively.
The ladies were brought to town and
every care and comfort given them
at the home of A. S, Mossman, where
Mrs. Thompson is known and esteemed.
At 5:20 o'clock the body of the young
er brother was recovered. Though the
drag nets were in use till long after mid
night the body of the married man was
not recovered till 6:30 this morning.
The team was flirst taken out. The
