MR. JAMES W. DOI-AN has been nominated
by the republicans of the 30th senatorial dis
trict. Dolun's record in the past legislature
was that of a pliant tool of the monopolies.
He is nnunsafcman to trust with tueconceriiE

THE Illinois state fair proved a finan
cial failure. It was a six-days fair , and
the state board will have to meet a de
ficit of $10,000. Nebraska ought to
congratulate herself on the fact that her
fair was a success , and that a surplus is
found in the treasury. It is certainly
gratifying to know that Nebraska people
ple patronize their state fair more lib
erally than those of the great state of
Illinois support theirs.
THE funny editor of Harper's Month
ly has cribbed the old story about the
first Napoleon to whom an inventor of
a bullet-proof armor came , and who
fled forever from the imperial presence
when the Little Corporal told him to
put it on and stand up while he sent
for a firing party to test it. The fellow
who cribbed this old story now substi
tutes the Duke of Wellington for Na
poleon. The next thing will be , we
suppose , an account of how the Iron
Duke seized the flag and held the bridge
at Loui.
THE English government is trying a
novel experiment in life insurance. Pol
icies for sums not over $125 are now
granted at any post office savings bank
without any medical examination. If ,
however , an insured should die before
the second annual premium becomes
payable , the amount of the first premi
um , and no more , will be paid to his
representative ; should the insured die
after the payment of the second , but
before the third premium becomes due ,
the representatives will be paid only
half the amount of the policy. In case
of death from accident , however , the
full amount is paid. After the pay
incut of the third premium the policy
is entitled to full benefit. Bee.
Ix the Blaine libel suit the court sat
on the 13th inst. to hear arguments on
the motion made by the defendant ask
ing for a ruling of the court as to
whether Mr. Blainc should be compell
ed to answer the interrogatories filed
by the defendant. The judge stated in
advance that interrogatories had long
jcen prohibited in the United States
courts , and though he personally would
ike to sec the rule changed , he would
not take the liberty to set it aside ,
thereupon the counsel for Mr. Blainc ,
Senator Harrison , volunteered the statc-
ucnt that no argument in favor of the
ulc would be offered by his side , but
hat Mr. Blainc would answer the inler-
ogatorics without any rule. So that
cock won't fight , and the valiant Shoc-
nakcr will have to think of some other
lovicc to raise a sensation. Journal.
THE ravages of cholera continue with
; nvful fatality in the city of Naples ,
since the 20th of August over two
thousand deaths have occurred. The
scenes in the stricken city are heart
rending , and the superstitions of the
people lead them to commit
leeds that are a disgrace to this enlight-
Jiied age. King Humbert , however ,
continues to bravely do his duty by rc-
naining in the city and personally vis-
ting the hospitals and patients without
my fear of his own safety. He occu-
) ics his time in distributing aid and
vords of comfort and encouragement ,
[ lis example has done much to allay the
lopular excitement and it has induced
> lhcrs to remain at their posts and pcr-
'onn their duty. The heroism of King
iiumbcrt excites the admiration of the
vorldj and it is truly said that'-'it is the
nest welcome real picture Europe lias
ookcd on for years. " Bee.

EDITOR TRIUUNE : Crossing the divide , to
day , from the Willow to the Hltickwood , 1 suv
that which left an impression on my niim
never to be effaced. I had entered a canon
when from a pocket Just ahead of modashe <
n calf closed pursued by two powerful wolves
.A few bounds more and both had fastened 01
to the calf. The poor creature sprang nbou
trying to tare loose from those cruel fangs
and as it fell and rose it sent forth a pltifu
cry. I was about to dash forward , but check
cd my horse as there came an answering call
and u moment after , a small yellow Texas COM
sprang into view. She seemed to take In tin
situation at a glance. Never slacking hei
speed , but with lowered head and those lout
sharp horns well pointed , uttering a loud bcl
low as she came on , that , live as long as I may
I shall ever think meant , "Courage my child
I am coining. " The bleeding calf was down
but it heard , struggled to its feet and strov
to reach its mother. During these years upoi
the border I thought I had seen wild cattl
run , but never have I witnessed such an exhi
bition of speed us this wiry little cow made
She fairly liew over the ground , sweeping th
space that divided her from her calf almos
at a bound. Like a thunderbolt she struck
the wolves tearing loose their holds sending
one full 200 feet into the air , where he spli
asunder and fell to the earth with a sickl >
thud. The other struck the earth about30 <
yards away , as though hurled from the cloud
and went pitch poling over the knolls , filling
the air with a cloud of dust and hair. A lej.
could be described from out the xvhirlinginuss
The momentum of the cow was so grcat-tha
she struck the walls of the canon with sue !
force as to bury her from my view , only tin
end of her tail protended. I rushed forward
seized on to this appendage and pulled will
all my force. 'Txvcre vain : her eyes were al
ready gla/.cd and sunk in their sockets. The
buzzards were Hitting about searching for car
vasscs. The winds swept fitfully iidown the
gulch , and a mournful feeling surged up ii
my breast furrowing my thoughts as 1 rode
away. URSA MINOII.

Many buildings going up on stream and di

head of cattle to John Hughes. Will sooi
make his home in Hastings. Round-tip boys ,
had quite a skirmish with the fire fiend 01
Tuesday last. A pipe lit , irinatch dropped in
to the grass and it took the united ctl'orts of
all the cowboys , fighting with saddle blankets
to put it out , and then not until the fire hud
run three-fourths of a mile. Wednesday ;
fire came sweeping down from the Pluttc
country. Was on head of Willow and Black
wood when last heard from. Stockmen were
turning cattle in toward the creek and prepar
ing to fight it out. The face of the fire was
about 40 miles in extent. LATER. Wiiu
changing , the cowboys were enabled to put
out the fiaincs. W. D.
Culbertson , Sept. 12,1884.
Near this office , just at dark hist night , i
stockman and his hand fell out and leaping to
the ground were soon rolling in the dirt ii
line shape. Gaining their feet the cowinai
drew a knife and but for fleetness of foot we
would have to chronicle the death of a cow
