Mackoy is a white man and tho complaining wit ness, Martha Mackey, is his stepdaugh ter and a half-breed Indian. The parties all live ut tho Sautco' agency and the illicit relations have continued for several years, or since tho girl wus about twelve years old. Tho testimo ny, which was of a revolting character, shows that tho girl's mother, the wife of Mackey, had knowledge of what was going on und consented to it Tim farmers near Ilavelock uro agi tating tho question of building a creamery. Two meetings have been held. Jt seems probable they will offer a small bonus and a building site in ilavelock as an Inducement to any company thnt will establish u good plant there. The country has been canvassed and milk can be had from At least 500 cows. The oldest Bottlers about Ilavelock say that the present .crop prospects aro better than they have been for twenty years. Oats are heading out nicely and bid fair to yield from fifty to seventy-five bushels per acre. vCorn will bo waist high by July 4th. Tho ground is in excellent condition.

Two young men and two young women were pleasure riding in a boat, near what Is known as the Ludwkdc saw mill. Tho river Is very high, and the boat getting caught in un eddy, struck a snug, which tipped it so that it partially filled with water. Ono of the girls grabbed oue of tho men around tho neck in her fright. Tho young man wa an excellent swimmer, and, evidently thinking the boat was going to sink and that ho could swim ashore with the girl, jump ed overboard with her. In jumping they overturned the boat, throwing .their companions into the water and all were drowned. The first couple were never seen after they sank. Farmers report that the crops In the neighborhood of Norfolk are excep tionally good this year, especially in the northern part of the county.

Thero is talk among tho freo silver leaders of call ing a caucus beforo the convent! n for tho purpose of fixing a slate. Should this bo done, Governor Altgeld's Idea of a "one day" convention may bo carried intooiTect, W. II. Hinriohsen, chairman of tho 'Illinois State central committee and dolcgato-at-large, says that thero is a strong sentiment among tho free silver delegates now In tho city favor ing such a caucus. "Hut oven If thero should bo no caucus," he continued, "I have an idea that the work of the convention can bo wound up In a single day. As I figure It out, tho stiver candidates for tho nomina tion for President will be llland, Holes, Ulackburn, Matthews and Mc Lean. Of these I rather inclino to the belief that Holes nnd llland will g& tho bulk of tho votes, and that whoever has tho greatest number of votes on tho first ballot will bo nomi nated on tho second.

Tho ma jority of the Democrats aro for freo silver, and it litis always been the policy of tho Democrats to allow tho majority to rule." liinrichscn thinks that C. S. Thomas, national committeeman from Colorado und chairman of tho delegation from that State, stands a good show of being elected temporary chairman. "It is quite possible," ho continued, "that the temporary organization will be made permanent. This could be done for tho purpose of expediting business." COLORADO FOR BLAND Hut AYlll Vote for Teller If Ills Name Is Prciented. Denvkk, Colo., July 4. Five of the Colorado delegates to the Democratic national convention favor tho nomi nation of Bland and, as tho unit rule will bo observed, ho will probably re ceive tho eight votes of Colorado on the firit ballot. Should Teller's name bo presented, Colorado votes will go to him, but the Colorado delegation will present no candidate. Last week it wa planned to Bond a largo and influential delegation ot Colorado citizens, without regard to party affiliations, to work for the nomination of Senator Teller, but tho plan has been abandoned, as the Sen ator himself did not approve of it. While no organised body will go from hero in his behalf, Sonator Teller will have u large number of frienda at Chicago. I'vtrlton M"i on Their Way. PriLADKt.PHiA. July 4.

CHAIRMANSHIP ISSUE National Committeemen Do Not I.lko the Uenmntt of Silver I.rmler. CmcAoo, July 4. It has been deter mined ns far us it nn be in advance of tho mooting of tho national commit tco that somo man not identified with the nllycr movement, although ho may have leanings tovird silver, will bo selected for chairman. It is apparent from tho talk of tho members of the committee who nre hero that they do not like tho torn-- which tho silver men laid down for tho sub-cominitteo and they feol that tho national com mlttco should not bo dictated ta In this mator. Hon T Cable, member of tho nat'onal committee for Illinois, who was not at tho meeting of tho sub-commltteo when the delegation of Oliver lenders appeared, says ho is op posed to having the Democr.itie na tional committee swerve from its usual custom in Its selection of a tem porary chairman, nnd if the conven tion d( s not liko tho committee's selection, It will havo tho right to vote In another man. It seems to bo the opinion that tho committee will bo going fnr outside 'is custom to submit to a faciion of tho party tho selection of a presiding officer. INGALLS AROUSED.

To tho best of Mr. Ingall's informa tlon tho article originally appuared in the "Silver Knight National Watch man" of Washington, D. C., under a St. Louis-dote, June 25. Mr. Ingalls is very Indignant, and xo-day telegraphed to tno district attorney at Washington to bring crim inal proceedings against tho author. Herbert My lie. Made a JikIrc. Washington, July 4. Members of the administration, especially the heads of departments, seem to be reconciled to tho fact that no matter how tho election goes this fall they will havo no influence after March 4, 1897. Probably no member of the cabincnt will be left as badly off as Secretary Herbert, if not taken care of in some other government appoint ment. It is said that Cleveland may appoint him to n judicial position within tho next few months. Bradley Johnton Ulttor. New Vohk, July 4. A dispatch to tho World from Havana, says: "Gen eral Hradley T.

For auditor Peter a Hedlund was nominated. The balance of tho ticket was chosen as shown at tho head of tho column. THE PLATFORM. Tho republicans of Nebraska in con vention represented affirm their faith in the principles enunciated In tho platform adopted by tho nntidnol con vention at St. Louis; tho platform of a party not ashamed of its record and compelled to abandon no article of its ancient faith. Chief among theso standard princi ples is a protective tariff, that cares for every American interest and secures the highest good for American labor; a reciprocity that, while seeking out tho world's markets for our surplus pro ducts, will never yield up a single day's wage that belongs to the American workman; a sound dollar, as bound as the government, und as untarnished as its flag; a dollar that is good not only at home, but good wherever trade goes as good in tho hands of a farmer or a workman as in the hands of a capitalist, a manufacturer or a corpora tion. A foreign policy that respects the American flag and causes it to be hon ored abroad; thut embodies the sym pathy of the American people in tho (struggle of their oppressed neighbors for liberty and self-government nnd that jealously resents nny and all encroachments- of tho military powers of the old world upon the territory of any American republic. A domestic policy that accords fair treatment and generous recognition to the veterans of the union array, that gives them preference, wherever prac ticable, in public employment; that suffers no union soldier, his widow or orphan, to be deprived of a pension, regularly granted, without due notice and an investigation as thorough and impartial as that upon the faith of which tho pension was originally con ferred. That provides a revenue sufficient for current expenses and tho mainten ance of tho public credit; that allows no excuse for increasing the national debt in times of peuce, and that re stores our merchant marine. The republicans of Nebraska most heartily endorse tho nomination of their first choice, William McKinley of Ohio for president and Garrett A. Ho bart of New Jersey for vice president, and pledge them their enthusiastic and undivided support. They favor state legislation, with proper restrictions, for the snfety and protection of the people, under which mutual insurance companies may bo organized. The valued policy act should not be repealed or modified in any way that will destroy the equity of its provisions. The educational funds of the stato should be Invested to the last possible j uuiiur iu mc securities tpeciueu iu me constitution, preference being given to state and county bonds. THE BLAND BOOMERS.
