Fie F. M.E. . KIMMELL , Editors and Publishers. Official City and County Paper. TDE Obcrlin Herald is authority for the statement that W. D. Street , at one time editor of the Herald , will shortly is sue a daily at Oberlin. SENATOR SHERMAN of Ohio has been elected president pro tern , of the senate. Carlisle of Kentucky , speaker of the house of representatives. THE great , palpitating heart of the de mocracy is pulsating nowadays with ner vous vigorousness over the prospect of a republican senator being elevated to the vice-presidency. THERE seems to be three Kichtnonds in the field forregistcrship of the Bloom- ington land office Vancil and Ashby of Franklin county , and J. D. Calhoun of the Lincoln Journal. Bloomington Guard. THERE seems to be slight cause , if any , for anxiety concerning the presi dential succession. Grover is enjoying his accustomed robustuous health. Our democratic brethren can , we imagine , content their souls in peace. THE public debt has increased , ac cording to the treasurer's report , some four and a half millions during the month of November. The democratic administration of economy and reform seems to be getting in its work. WILLIAM II. VANDERBiLTthe , great est railroad magnate of the age , died suddenly at his residence in New York city , yesterday afternoon. No one but President Garrett of the B. & 0. was present at the time of his death , which came without premonition. Cerebral hemorrhage was the cause. IT is alleged that the new state of Dakota will proceed , when admitted , to erect a coat of arms on which the motto , "By God the people rule , " will be in scribed. The Butte ( Montana ) Miner thinks there is a rough sound to the sentiment and suggests the substitution of "through" for "by"as the opening words. THE unanimous nomination of Gen- . eral Logan by the republican senatorial caucus , Friday , was a surprise fully as great as his declination , with thanksof , the honor , to those who have been read ing the guesses of the smartVashing \ - ington correspondents and the metro politan editors. Evidently the republi can senators hav'nt been talking much to newspaper men. THE petticoat by the late elections may be said to have become the ' ori- flaimne of British politics. The Baron ess Burdette-Coutts secured the elec tion of her young Philadelphia ! ! hus band to parliament by a majority of H- , 250. Toung and pretty "Primrose Leaguers' " canvassed the Marleborn district for Lord "Charley" Beresford , the young naval hero of Egypt , and he was returned at midnight by a majority of 954. Mr. T. P. O'Connor's New York wife also busied herself with his Liverpool electors , and it goes without saying that Lady Randolph Churchill contributed largely to the comparative success of her husband in Birmingham and to his victory in the swell West End constituency of Paddington. THE poor , despised mugwump re ceives the following consolation from the Philadelphia Times , which certainly places that rara avis in a much more favorable light than other metropolitan papers are wont to put : The mugwump is the most fortunate of all men in politics. He has no par ty ; he cares for no party ; he wants no no office ; he courts no party's favor ; he simply owns himself and thinksaots , and votes as lie pleases. He is the logical growth of the independent press that public abuses have created , and , instead of his tribe growing less , it nev er was so large in numbers as it is to day , and it will grow larger each year un til a radical revolution shall be wrought in our political methods. And so far from the parties drifting away from the counsels and votes of the mugwumps , they will be more sought for by the small politicians who now decry them , in futuie contests than in the past. They : arc the power of the debatable states , ] because they can defeat bnd candidates in cither party : and the first inquiry the. > politicians will make in New York and Pennsylvania , next year , when .about to . nominate tickets , will be to ascertain the attitude of the mugwumps. The mugwump is no 'mere eruption on the body politic. He is a logical creation ; he Is here because he is needed , and he ] ias come to stay. > W. C. T. U. The W. C. T. U. and llefonn Club met , according to appointment , at the Congrcga- I tional church , and , although it was so cold and blustering outside , and not very temper- ! ate inside , ( though known as a strict , temper ance meeting ) still it was an occasion of gen eral surprise to see so many at the meeting , real , earnest workers , too. After the sing ing , and prayer by Kev. Hall , then singing again , the real business of the meeting began. J. E. 13crgcr delivered his salutatory in a pointed , practical , one-minute speech ; then called on J. E. Cochran , who attacked the liquor party in their own fortificationagainst sumptuary laws , and showed that the matter of license , which is prohibition to a certain extent , the whiskey party , by their own acts , virtually abandon their pet notions of indi vidual freedom. Mr. Cochran was followed by Kev.Dungan and other volunteer speak ers , both ladies and gentlemen , and the meet ing took a decidedly business turn. After a recess of ten minutes , the secretary being ab sent , G. W. Miukler was nominated and chosen secretary pro tem. A committee was next chosen to confer with R. O. Phillips of the Lincoln Land Co. , in order to secure , if possible , the donation of a lot on which to erect a building to be used for a reading room. The following were chosen on this conference committee : J. E. 13erger , J. E. Cochran and T. 13. Campbell , to which , on motion , was also added the president and vice-president and Mrs. ( ! eo. Hocknell of the. W. C. T. U. A committee on program , with instructions to report immediately , was next chosen. Messrs. Dungan and Cochran being selected , who appointed a committee on music , con sisting of Mrs. T. B. Campbell , Miss Mescrve , Mrs. T. S. Uohley and F. M. Kinmiell. AIo a commute on entertainment , viz : Mrs. P. Boyle , Miss Thomas and E. II. McCormick , who were instructed to report to the chairman by Saturday ne t. K. S. Cooley , who believ ed with Horace Grceley that "the way to re sume is to resume" was hi favor of taking immediate steps to secure a reading loom for this winter , by renting somesuitablo room and furnishing it with papers and magazines. T. B. Campbell and others spoke to the same purpose , and Messrs. Cooley and Campbell were chosen a reading room committee. It is understood that the reading room will be furnished with an organ. There was also an informal agreement to meet hereafter at 0:30 o'clock , M. T. Announcement was made that the Baud of Hope and Temperance Cadets would meet next Saturday at 2 o'clock at the Congregational church. Adjourned. G. W. MIXKI.KU. Scc'y pro teni. REVIVAL. MEETING.

Since Sunday last , the Denver & Rio Grande road has discharged about forty con ductors , and tliu few remaining do not know how soon they may be called up on to vacate. It is stated that for some weeks a part } ' of detectives have been at work shadowing every conduc tor , not only iu his business matters , but paying close attention to his habits ilso. This wholesale exodus is the re sult of their reports. As usual no charges were made , and their inquisi- ive friends were advised to ask no uistiois. ! One spotter was captured n th.'j train between Leadville and Salida and quite roughly handled by .he men before he was dropped at the alter point , where the railroad men vere thoroughly posted aa to his busi1 less. A few men have also been ' Iropped from the South Park road with- ut an explanation. mtgmm \ ( The First National Bank OP MeGOOK , NEBRASKA. PAID UP CAPITAL , - - $50,000.00.

Stephens of the Crete Nurseries , sold four car-loads of two and three- year-old apple trees , to the Illinois nur serymen. This is one more proof of the superiority of Nebraska soil and climate. Who would have thought , ten years ago , that Nebraska could grow better and cheaper trees than Illinois. Would it not be better for farmers to purchase these trees at first hands rather than pay eastern men two freights and good profit on them ? D. K.
