WEEKLY TRIBUNE F. M. & E. M. KIMMELL EDITORS and PUBLISHERS , Fotm HUNDRED persons sat down t < a banquet given to the Mexican voter aiis in Washington recently. Postmaster-General Grcshani's daih headaches may be due to his keeping hi : Ilatton , if the Cincinnati Uommercial- Gazctte understands those things. F : G. HA.MKII , ESQ. , of Kearney , was appointed , last Thursday , to fill tin vacancy in the Tenth Judicial District , caused by the death of Judge Savidge THE Supreme Court affirmed the dc cision of the court below in favor oi Jefferson Davis , in the contested will case of Mrs. Dorsey , who left her prop erty to Davis. OVER two thousand bills and resolu tions have already been introduced in the forty-eighth Congress. Gen. Hose- crans introduced 53 , "a full deck and a joker. " It strikes us that the most of them arc "jokers. " AGAIN arc the Egyptian forces al most annihilated , and this time by the Hill tribes , and near Suakim. The bat tle was a desperate one , the black troops fought back to back in groups and pairs , and their disastrous defeat is atttribu- tcd to the cowardly conduct of the Baslri Bazourks. Dervishes arc making their appearance in the land declaring a Holy war. Ax article iu the last Atlantic on Washington says , "The Senate is be coming a club of moneyed men. " Is the possession of money a necessary qualification for the Senate ? Can a very poor , a very brilliant and very honest man get into the United States Senate ? Why should a grave , wise and reverend Senator need so much money to make his intellect and patriot ism useful to the country ? Does mon ey stimulate genius and goodness to renewed action ? Does money make the best men ? And we have only our best men in the Senate. N. Y. Graphic. Buo. MARTIN of the Orleans Senti nel has made enough money in the newspaper business , and will for the nonce continue the business "for fun. " T. J. Cleaver is about to issue another paper at that place , and the Sentinel proposes to give him a "taste of the hard times and struggles of pioneer journalism. " He proposes to print all land notices for 25 cents. We expect that the Sentinel will throw in a year's subscription and a chromo after Vov.-l , No. 1 , of the Harlan County Press is issued. Don't it strike you as being too much like taking your own medi cine , though ? ONK bad practice among Congress men is that of getting up a fine bill for the benefit of the people , getting it published broadcast by the papers and then letting it die in a pigeon hole. This is particularly the fate of very many of the bills introduced to recom pense the soldiers for the losses they sustained during the war. The authors of these bills don't push them to pas sage , but introduce them too often sim ply for buncombe. They should either be passed or not presented , for other wise the soldiers are put in the position of asking for something they can never get. Gazette-Journal. THE seventeen incendiary fires which have occurred in Milwaukee during the month past have been traced by. the police to Bonnie West , Joe Moffat. Pinch and Miller , four boys about thir- tfjen years of age , sons of respectable residents of the Fourth ward , where the fires occurred , and the boys have been arrested. They had formed a "Buffalo Bill" organization , and had a pirate's den , where they kept diine ' novels , guns and lassos , and from wiiere they made raids on the pantries of well-to-do neigh bors. Suspicion fell upon them because of the frequent loss of jellies and pies , and the general bravadocio air the boys assumed , Young Finch confesses everything , Of Interest to Bands. The members of the Board of Dircc ors of the State Band Association < Nebraska , pursuant to call , met at tli Holland House on last Saturday cvci ing to devise ways and means for pe fecting the State organization and mal ing the necessary arrangements ft holding an annual tournament. Th following members were present : " \V F. Wallace , of McCook , Chairman , C A. Caldwell , of Crete , and W. L. Scisn of Table Rock , who acted as Secretar pro tern. Harry Dodd , of Hastings , an Samuel Irving , of Crcighton , member of the board , being absent. The boar decided to get up a book of music con taining about J > 0 popular airs and sein them to bands belonging to the associn tion , so thut it would be possible at an public meeting for even a dozen band to play the tame music , if desired This of itself is a grand scheme am will be of interest to members of al such organizations in the State. Th selection of the book was left to Majo M. L. Pembleton , of Stromsburg. Tin balance of the business. was placed ii the hands of the Chairman , who wa instructed to place himself in conunu nication with different music publisher ! and secure sample copies of music var icd in work from such as will be pub lished for the Band Journal , and fron which the directors should select sucl music as they might deem neccssar and proper. The Chair instructed Wil Seism to procure a complete and accu rate roster of every band in the Stat < and furnish the same to the Chairman , After due consultation it was decided to hold a state tournament , open onlj to members of the association , at JLin coin , in June , 1884. It is recommend' ed that all bands in the State join the association , as the tournament will enl ) be open to those bands which are bomi fide members of the association. Othei topics were advanced and discussed The following committees were appoint ed : On transportation , J. F. Forbes , 9f McCook , Prof. B. King , of Wahoo , J. C. Bonncll , of Lincoln ; on arrange ments , Prof. R. S.Browne , of Lincoln. Adjourned to meet at Crete upon call ) f Chairman. lied Cloud Chief. GENERAL NEWS. THE body of a young woman was ound in the river at Peoria. It bore jo marks of violence , but the doctors nade the inevitable examination , and 'ound that she had been the victim of in outrage or an abortion , they couldn't ixactly tell which , and her body flung nto the river. The excitement was ter- ifale. It was ascertained in a few days hat she was the mother of a child sev- iral weeks old , and had fallen into the rater while walking in her sleep , and ras drowned. Science is a big thing rhen you're sure of it. Topics Man. IN St. Paul , Minn. , four hundred and orty-threc business blocks , costing over iT.OOO , 000 arc in process of comple- ion. Among the buildings started is a trillion dollar hotel. One business block est over $750,000 , and four others est over $300,000 apiece. THE tripartite agreement of the Un- m Pacific , St. Paul and Rock Island 5 confirmed by our dispatches this lorning. A big fight is imminent , un- iss the pool roads outside of the St. 'aul and Rock Island are ready to make n unconditional surrender. Journal. THE debts of the railroads of this ountry amount to about $26,000 per rile. This aggregates nearly double lie amount of the national , debt. vast sum , and probably more than the nes are worth. THE Directors of the Southern Expo- tion have decided to hold another Ex- osition in 1884. The dates will be so rrangcd as not to interfere with the World's Exposition in New Orleans. A ind of $250,000 will be raised. A DISPATCH from Connellsville , Pa. , lys that roughs stoned Mrs. Langtry's ir as it passed through that place Sat- rday evening.
