The desease was imported from Bombay where it has caused many deaths and ■ general panic among the natives. The (biristioas edition of the Neb raska State Journal published last Sunday was a hummer. It consist ed of twenty pages filled witli choice reading. It was incased in a hand some illustrated cover and presented a neat Appearance. The State Jour nal is o m of the great leading daily papers of the west. The latest from New York is the reported rupture of an engagement between a young man and a young woman because he insisted on wear ing motto hot tons With the motto button breaking up engagements, the suspender button breaking up marriages and the collar button do ing business all the year around it's about time we took to wearing hooks and eyes.—National Recorder. It is quite amusing to see how all the popoeratie papers paint, in big head lines, a single hank failure or the failure of one company or cor poration, hut they never mention the many industeries that, are daily starting up, or if they do. they speak of them in jeering terms. Their attitude in this respect convinces the public of one fact, and that is that they would rather have some thing to howl about than to seo pros perity and plenty. This week we had occasion to in vestigate a complaint made by one of our subscribers to the the effect that he did not get his paper at the post office. On inquiry we learned that the gentleman's mall had been taken out by one of bis neighbors and that the paper had been regu larly mailed and bad gone with the rest of the mail. Now we wish to say in this connection that no doubt we make errors, and no doubt, the post master makes errors, but we find by thorough investigation, that much of the irregularities in receiv ing mail are due to just such cir cumstances, where some of our sub scriber’s mail has been taken from the post office by some of their neighbors. IK. J. Nightingale and II. M. Math ew of this county ate both prominent candidates for the appointment of district judge to fill the vacancy which will l»e occasioned by the res ignation of Judge Greene. Mr. ^ Nightingale lias been mentioned for the place for sonic time, and his can didacy is meeting with much favor ihorcugliout the district, and if ap pointed will make a good judge. Mr. Mathew has lately entered the race. The first kuuwn of his candidacy here was when ll was reported llial county cleik. Item, editor Hrowu and Mr Mathews biwsilf went to Litchfield uue day last week slid there Itoardcd ihe iraiu for Broken Ilowi where, it ia said, they went lo picseut the latter aeiaiiu for judicial honors. The nest move we find is that the law firm el H all A Burrows i« circulating a petition among the I Hosiwisuf the bar of this count y aahiag that he be appointed ll |ju looks very notch to u* as though the dtuaion here will result in the |Kg defeat uf both lawfldatss. and a Ad ■»»»* fro* either It .if,! . ... i i jlbk #h.*sen tel, loo, || i« .pitie rw ^wle'it Ins*. *oo>t of Hi. pai'ies ,m. , psi«.| SIC Wo.k.llg I ..

Hill Greene's latest costs the tax payers of custer county about $l,f»00 He opened his jamboree in tbemid*' of un important criminal trial, and jurors, together with witnesses, were held in abeyance at public expence while the court finished an artistic job of “painting". This is the man who will represent the Sixth district in congress as a bright and shining example of populist wisdom and the embodiment of personal virtue. The • . i m . ■ .11 ill'll wiiii vinuu mm iiiiido n i i proud of the job they performed on election day. Kem is at least re speetablc. His services for the state have been valueless but lie has at 1 least no cause to feel ashamed of 1 himself for keeping late Hours and | holding high carnival with the god , of Baclius. Greene will doubtless i accomplish as little as Kem, but he i will do something, lie can be de- 1 pended upon to get drunk whenever J he gets out of sight of those who are j sent down to sbaddow his footsteps and see that he keeps sober. The ( Broken Bow Beacon editorially an- . uounces that it has no defense to make in the matter of Greene's latest ; attack, though it “nailed" the Sid ney circus as a republican campaign falshood. When the Bacon declines to stand up for a pop the case is too far gone to offer any hope or conso- ' latiou.—State Journal. 1 It begins to look as if Senator Sherman will be forced into the ca ( binet. The alternative to this is . likely to be his retirement from < public life after the expiration ot his present term in the senate. Senator j Sherman has promised to retire so '• many times and has made the fight 1 for re-elestion so often in spite of his promises that the republican leaders in Ohio are quite ready for a change , There are ambitions in that state, i which cannot be satisfied by a 3on tinuance of local prominence. Gov- 1 ernor Foraker has at last secured his title to a seat in the upper house,but governor Bushnell is looking to the future and it is believed that Mark Hanna bus his ey e upon tbe senator seat. If Senator Sherman will ac eept a cabinet otHce on the 4th of next March the way will be paved for the Immediate appointment of Mt. llanon, and the Senator himself will be provided for four year* long er with a position of honor and re spou*ibility iu Washington. Seuu |nr Sherman is not at ull favorable to such a plan, lie is hopeful that he can again succeed himself in III* senate, lie prefers the work of the legislative body to the routine of an executive department. lie feels that be is not to old for eight veal's more service in the senate where his, years of expedience really make him a Ne»P*r ou that side of the capltol j I VI the same tune should Sett Slier I ! iiixii la convinced that it is a oabiuet j place or wo place, a seat around Ma jor MvKlttlet s esbiueut table or (h i | utawrBt retirement tohisowu library j J t tote there is little rct»*M» to doubt what his deeisslow wouhl tie. ***ttti%'t - Journal.

The editor of this paper wishes to notify his friends and the public in ge neral that he will bean active candidate h»r the position ol post master at Loup City under the new administration and all who are In favor of the motion will make it manifest by coming in when an opportunity offer* and signing our pe tition and otherwise assisting us in the race. It is not necessary for us to intro duce ourselves to the public. We have licej a resident of Hherman Count)' for nearly 2<> years and are among the oldest *ettiers now residing here.

This bee has been In our bonnet for several months past, and we note with satis faction that, unlike Mr Cleveland, the president-elect feels disposed to reward the poor newspaper men who fought bleed and, financially speaking, almost lied for the good of the cause Soliciting yr.tir support mid assur ing you that If we get the position we will endeavor to conduct the ithee In a manner that will be a credit :o us and of general satisfaction to Its patrons, 1 am Yours Very Truly, Geo.
