Gov Mickey has named June 14
as Flag Day.
- - - -
The democratic nomination for
governor is now causing a merry
war among the leaders of that an
cient party. Little Giant Thomp.
son of Grand Island has concluded
after mature deliberation that he is
the man who can defeat Mickey,
while Shellenbarger of Alma thinks
he is just about the size. And so it
goes.
Tom Dennison, the noted Omaha
gambler, accused of complicity in
the great Pollock diamond robbery
of a number of years ago, has been
indicted by an Iowa grand jury and
Gov. Mickey has granted his re
quisition to that state to answer the
grave charge. It is a long lane that
has no turn.
The mining troubles in Colorado
received a fresh impetus, Monday,
and now the lawlessness has certain
ly reached the limit. On that day,
an infernal machine was set off un
der the depot platform at the town
of Independence, blowing seventeen
non union men out of business, some
twelve of them being torn to shreds,
while the balance w'ere badly in
jured. One man was blown 75 feet
into the air, yet escaped alive. Be
sides this horror, riots and killings
are reported from Victor, Cripple
Creek and other points resulting
therefrom. Colorado is in a pitiful
condition, and the history of the
past few' months’ horrors and those
to come may be ascribed pretty
equally to the greed of grasping
mine ow'ners, and the anarchistic
hoards of imported Huns and other
classes of foreigners, brought here
at the instance of the aforesaid
greedy, grasping, grinding monied
cormorants, owners of these great
mining interests. This country is
reaping the benefit of its lax and
unjust immigration laws of the
years gone by. The padlock was
put on the open immigration doors
too late. Where is the remedy for
the great national poison infused in
this country’s veins and into her
very life-blood arteries?
Gov. Mickey has appointed C. H.
Gregg of Kearney a member of the
State Hoard of Education, vice
George B. Rogers, whose time had
expired.
As was expected the democratic
state convention last week was dom
inated by Bryan, who will head the
unterrified at St. Louis. The Kan
sas City platform, of course, was
endorsed and everthing went thro’
as slated.
Illinois republicans, after two or
three weeks of fruitless ballotings,
numerous recesses and a bard tight
all around, finally landed Chas. S.
Deenen as the comproise candidate
for governor on the 78th ballot, on
last Friday.
Texas was visited by a furious
tornado, last Friday night, causing
great damage to property interests
and serious loss of life. Oklahoma
also report a destructive twister on
the same date in the Kiowa and
Comanche nations, with serions loss
of life and property
John Wall's Big Store Burned
At 5 o’clock this (Friday) morning
Erni quin ton discovered John Wall’s
store building to be on fire. He quickly
spread tbe alarm, The lire was then in
the northeast corner but whether
above or l>eIow is a question on which
no two agree A crowd of men quickly
gathered and all that could be done was
but all to no purpose. The lire steadily
gained headway and it soon became
apparent that nothing Arcadia can
muater in the way of a fire protection
could save the building. The tiames
soon began to shoot from the roof in a
dozen different places, and efforts were
entirely given to save the remainder of
the town and get the goods out of the
store The wind favored the workers
shifting a little to the northeast, awhile
before it was straight from the north.
The fight was made from the roof of
the post office, and front street in apite
of the efforts had it not been for the
heavy brick lire proof wall on the east
of Mr. Wall’s store, all of the west half
of town, and possibly all of the town
would have been burned. Space and
time forbids a full account of the differ
ent phases of the horror. The loss to
Mr. Wall is about$28,000. Only $3,000
of this is covered bv insurance. Some
goods were saved, but are badlvdamag
ed. The postoffice building is a total
wreck. Mr. Wall will rebuild at once.

Death of James Hughes.
James Hughes, aged 24 years, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hughes, livtng some
seven miles south of town, died Monday
night at nine o’clock of stomach trouble,
caused by going in bathing,and remain
ing in the water too long. He was in
town last Friday, in seemingly usual
good health. Later he was taken ill.
Monday he suffered a surgical operation,
but failed to rally and passed quietly
away. He was a bright, exemplary
young man. and a great favorite with
his many friends. He leaves a father,
mother, five sisters and two brothers,
all living in Sherman county save three
married sisters. His funeral took place
this morning at 10 o’clock at the resi
dence, undertaker Hover having charge,
under the auspices of the A. O. U. W.,
of which he was an honored member,
and was buried in the beautiful Virdu
rette cemetery, Rev. Madely of the M.
E. church conducted the last sad rites.
The bereaved ones have the heartfelt
sympathy of their large circle of friends.
