Republican State Convention.
The republican electors of the slate of No
lirosku nro invited to send delegates from the
several counties to meet in convention at
Omaha , Wednesday , August 27th , 1884 , at 10
o'clock , A. M. , for the purpose of placing In
nomination candidates for live presidential
electors. Also , for Governor , Licutcnant-Gov-
crnor , Secretary of State , State Treasurer ,
Auditor of Public Accounts , Commissioner of
Public Lands and Buildings , Superintendent
Public Instruction , Attorney General , and

Omaha , Neb. , May 22,1884.
GEO. W. E. DOHSEV , Chairman.
S. M. COLSON , Secretary.
THE Fourth of July will be robbed of
its convivial features this year in Iowa ,
as the new prohibitory law goes into ef
fect the day previous. Already the rail
roads running through that State have
issued orders that liquor shall not be sold
on their dining cars while within its bor
ders , which means a long dry spell from
the Mississippi to the Missouri.
THE Garrison , which ten years ago
was supposed to be victualled to the
amount of $40,000,000 , was bombarded
in "Wall street at short notice. And
considering that a few hours before the
collapse the head of the concern scouted
the idea of failure and impressed the
street with confidence in his soundnessit ,
is just a little problematical how much
more houoable Garrison is "than the
Fishers , Wards and Enos' of unsavory
memory.
THE woman suffrage amendment to
the franchise bill was. defeated in the
British parliament the other day by a
majority of 136. The tories generally
voted for it , hoping to so load down
the bill that it would be killed on its
final passage. The suffrage sisterhood
held an indignation meeting the next
day and gave the liberals particular
"goss" for not conferring the franchise
upon them , and resolved to keep up the
agitation.
THE Republican valley and other
parts of the state are filling up at a
rate that will increase the population of
this the grandest state in the Union
fully two hundred thousand this year.
The newcomers are not coining empty-
handed either , but bring with them
horses , cattle and other personal prop
erty. They are a people backed with
intelligence , means and plenty of en
terprise , and as such failure to them is
out of the question in fertile Nebraska.
MEXICO'S present lot seems to be
harder than it can bear. The country is
being visited by a large delegation of Ne
braska grasshoppers , meats have ad
vanced to the unheard of price of twenty-
five cents per pound , causing great suf
fering among the poorer classes , and to
finish the list of miseries , it is said that
the scarcity of small change has made
counterfeiting a common industry. It
isn't very often that Mexico has more
troubles than it can manage , and we still
believe that one of its periodical revolu
tions will straighten matters out.
THE Omaha Republican is doing some
good work for Elaine and Logan , but it
is not helping the cause of republican
ism , or its own reputation , by its petty
flings and sneers at George William
Curtis and others of his class , who are
a
not only worthy representatives of 'the
scholar in politics , " but whose com
manding ability and integrity of charac
ter are unquestioned. Mr. Curtis was
a good and loyal republican while the
adolescent editor of our waspish Omaha
contempory was yet in his swaddling in
clothes , and he has steadfastly remained 13
a good republican to the present time. 1'
We can conceive that it may be possible 1'a 1'h
for a man to differ from Mr. Fred Nye a <
and still be a good republican and a In
Ins
man of influence. Ord Quiz. s <
Bondvillc is on the boom.
Squire Boughton has been on the sick
list for a few days past.
James Lyons of Hitchcock county
was here on business , last week.
John Pcake is having his cottage
plastered. Dubarkn & Bye arc the
workmen.
Mrs. J. C. Laffcrty and daughter were
visiting friends in town , Saturday last.
Among the new suburban residences
arc those of Messrs. Armstrong , Vorc
and Miller.
S. J. Stockton recently purchased a
new buggy , and now puts on consider
able shape. "
Look out for "ratUcra. " A. S.
Boughton had a valuable cow bitten ,
one day last week.
People are preparing for harvest. A
number of neighboring fanners have
purchased reapers.
Robert Bond's dwelling on Main
street is ncaring completion. Contrac-
to Bennett is doing the work.
Rev. Moore was with us , Sabbath
last , and now expects to hold service
here every alternate Sabbath at 11
o'clock , A. M.
The new church progresses , under
the workmanship of Billings Bros. It j J
is expected to have the building com
pleted in two or three weeks.
'Tis rumored that some of Bondville's
belles are much exercised over Major
Criswcll's leap year card , and are con
sidering its acceptance seriously.
We understand that Frank Weaver
has a field of rye that will average seven
feet in height. And still some question
the productiveness of Nebraska soil.
A. J. Brent has purchased a fine tree
claim from Mack Jones of Mankato ,
Kansas , and thus added a little more
territory to his ranch , known as < 4Sucki
crs Paradise. "
John Hume has the finest outlook
for a crop of corn of anyone we know
of. It only requires proper attention to
secure crops here , and farmers must not
expect good results from work half done.
Bondville tenders , her sympathy to
those who sustained loss in the late
McCook fire. We fear the people here
will wait until the "horse is stolen be
fore they lock the barn , " if measures
are not soon taken for protection against
the fire fiend.
W. 0. Bond will soon be ready for
the opening of his general merchandise
store. He will also carry a line of
drugs , etc. W. 0. says he expects to
put prices down to bed-rockj and invites
an inspection of his goods. The motto
adopted for the store is "Carpe diem. "
We don't know who is to be "assistant
counter-jumper , " ' but Mr. Bond will
doubtless secure the help of an affable
and genial clerk , who will wait upon his
customers with dexterity and dispatch.
June 23 , ' 84. MOTHER'S SON.
TIIEUE are a number of circuses that
arc not satisfied with making money le
gitimately , but resort to various tricks
to rob the people wherever they go. One
of the most popular methods of circus
robbery is in the changing of money )
which is done by certain employes in
such a way as to defraud their patrons.
The victim hands up a five-dollar bill for
a circus ticket , and the ticket-seller
hands back fifty cents in change , and
swears that he only received a dollar
bill. The victim protests against this
robbery , and in nine cases out of ten he
fails to get his money back. The candy
butchers , the lemonade peddlers , and
the side-show men play the same trick ?
with equal success. One of these circuses
tl
cuses , that of W. W. Cole , has come
to Errief in Montana. The Cole circus Ulgl alOi
Oi
gang operated a little too boldly at
Unite , and the result was that Cole him
self and eleven of his men were arrested. b
They had succeeded in robbing the people 1 ti
ple out of over $500. Cole has refunded It
li
all the money claimed to have been stol-
en , but the. men have been held upon a W
ai
criminal complaint. In the language of
the Butte Intcr.-Mountain "it won't defer of
iu
for Mr. Cole's men to put Montanans
up for suckers and cyip yaps , ' " whatever
they may be. The people of Montana
are justly incensed at the whole outfit ,
and propose to teach these circus thieves
lesson that they will not be likely to
forget very soon. If other communities by
wculd follow the example of Buttc
there would soon be an cud to circus
robberies. Bee
THE new steamship America has
made anothei remarkably quick trip.
Her first run from Quecnstown to Now
York was made in six , days and fifteen
hours < , and her return trip has just been
accomplished in six days and fourteen
hours. She is undoubtedly the fastest
steamerafloat. .

I hear many regrets that McCook is

Several fine hay claims have recently
been taken o'n the flats at the head or

Dadc Tomlinson and family arc in
Colorado ( , near Fort Collins. Dadc's
broken leg is yet unhcaled.
Fencing seems to be the order of the
year , and but for the friendly guide
board pointing the new way , traveling
would be annoying in the extreme.
Since the cloud-burst and aerolite
struck the range , riders are becoming
suspicious of the high , mountainous
peaks of the Blackwood. They say
Fitzgerald is likely to spring a volcanic
eruption on them at any time.
Ed. Klcvcn sold his sheep to Lcm.
Carrington at $2.50 per head. Lcm.
moves them to his ranch on the llepub-
lioan between McCook and Culbcrtson.
He dips his sheep three times this
spring. At each dipping removing to
new ground. He says scab can and
must be eradicated from his flock.
At Mrs. Buckendorff's sale on Mon
day last , Mrs. J. T. Wray bid in a milch
cow at $39. A yearling heifer was
knocked down to Charles Walters at
$24. Curtis of Blackwood was crier.
Mrs. BuckendorfF and children take the
