Bunting , three miles southeast of David City , was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. It contained three horses , sev eral sets of harness and various farming implement , besides a quantity of hay. The horses Avcre got out but everything else was lost The burn was insured for a small sum. Some live years ago Mr. Bunting's house on tho same premises was burned with all its contents , the family barely having timo to make their escape. A special train of twenty-live cars of cattle from Nelson , Edgar and Shickloy , in charge of Trainmaster Granger , passed through Tobias on the 5th over the B. & M" . and were run to Chicago at the rate of thirty miles per hour. The cuttle were some ot tho iinest ever shipped out of the state , several of the cars averaging 1,800 pounds per head. The closing exercises of tho Nebras ka Central college will take place at Central City , Juno 10th. in the Metho dist church. The baccalaureate address will be delivered by President H. S. Hil ton.

The heaviest rain storm of the sea son visited Pender , last week , accompa nied by hail and wind. Several build- in jrs were damaged by the wind and con siderable corn and other crops were either washed out or buried. Trains were delayed several hours by a washout be tween Pender and Emerson. William Townsend , late grain and agricultural implement dealer and cat tle feeder at Bockville , sold his elevator and lias left for parts unknown , leaving property valued at about $4,000 and many anxious creditors. The body of an unknown man was found on the 5th five miles west of Fre mont , near tho railroad track , by the crew of a passing train. The eoronoi was summoned and an inquest was held on the body at Ames. The coroner's jury , after weighing all the facts and surrounding circumstances , returned n verdict to _ tho effect that the deceased came to his death by means of a blow upon the head , crushing his skull , but when , where and how the blow was ad ministered they were unable to tell. A Wisner dispatch sajs : This morn ing the family of Ferdinand Matthis was being ferried across tho Elkhorn river at this place on a small ferry boat , which had been constructed to carry passen gers since tho bridge was carried away last week , when the boat capsized in mid stream. Mrs. Matthis and one daughter were rescued from the torrent , a man and two lads " swam ashore , but two boj's and two girls were drowned. They wero retnrning from tho weddiug of 3oung Frank Matthis , who was married yes terday. Nothing has been seen of tho bodies. Charley Douglass , of Fremont , was "done up" in Omaha to the tune of $500 last week. He fell in with a man named W. B. Wales , to whom he loaned $500 , taking as security a mortgage on Wales' office furniture , which consisted of a table and a chair , and also a mortgage on a lot in St. Joseph , Mo , , which was not his. Stewart was then emploj-ed by Wales to go to Lincoln for the purpose of buying and selling real estate , his salary to be $100 per month As a matter of fact Mr. AVnles has dis- appearedlikewise Douglass' $500. A group of "medicine men" have been in the vicinity of Ord doing up the unwary. They guarantee a cure of all chronic diseases , and parties who sign the contracts the- dis thecarry , ultimately cover that they have signed promissory notes. Mrs. E. Jones has relinquished control of the normal and business col lege at Fremont , and is succeeded by Prof. W. H. Clemmons. Geneva was considerably excited the other day over the report that Mrs. Fauver , wife of the veterinary surgeon at that place , died very suddenly of heart disease. Tho school children having heard a short time before this of the little child getting hold of poison and taking enough to throw him into spasms , soon circulated the report that she had taken poison , which rumor led to a post mortem examination , resulting in the decision by tho physicians that death resulted from heart disease. The headquarters of the Nebraska delegation to the republican national convention at Chicago will be at the G'-and Pacific. The quarters are to bo gorgeously decorated. Andy Gallagher , of Holt county , while endeavoring to break a wild horse was fallen upon by the animal , receiv ing a badly broken leg. Louis Swanson , of Grand Island , is in durance vile for robbing a gun store. It is a clear case against him , as all of the missing goods were found in his possession. The fair grounds near Grand Island is said to be a regular nest of tramps during the day , and at niaht they prowl about in the city. A ball and chain , and plenty of work as an accompani ment , is the treatment it is proposed to deal out as a remedv for the evil. Mr. L. B.

A contract has been mado for an electric light and power plant for Kearney. Eyan , who was on trial in Omaha last week for tho murder of a woman in a wiuo saloon , was acquitted. The jury thought tho shooting was accidental. An individual has been feeling ol Dorchester to find out how bad she wanted a saloon. Not a Hgnuture in fa vor of tho enterprise was forthcoming. Tho hydrophobia scare has spread to York , causing tho passing of an or dinance ordering all dogs within muni cipal limits to be eithei * muzzled , tied up or shot. A series of burglaries occurred in Grand Island last week. Several places wero entered , in none of which , how ever , was much booty becured. Tho George G. Mead post No. 1 of Philadelphia sent a handsomo garland of immortelles to Sedgwick post No. of Kearney , to be placed on tho grave of Captain Emmet Crawford , who was murdered two years ago by the treach erous Mexicans.

Chicago special : For tho past month or more there has been a great demand for two "mad stones" in the possession of residents of this city. Five cases of dog bites have been treated within three weeks , and all the patients are doing well. The matter is exciting a great deal of discussion again. Several phj'sicians poo-hoo tho idea that there is any such thing as a mad stone , or that , there is an } * efficacy in the stones that have been used , claiming the remedy exists wholly in imagination. Yet the fact remains that two of such stones are really in existence and are devoutedly trusted by those who have seen them used. The latest of the cases treated in this vicinity was Mr. Fred McCullough , who was bitten Monday by a rabid dog. The stone was applied that night and adhered to the wound until Tuesday morning , being taken oil and boiled in milk several times co re- move the supposed poison from it. The worst case that has been treated re cently was the.littlc daughter of W. B. Luckc , of Evanston , 111. , who was bit ten by a mad dog five da3s before the stone was applied The attending phy sician said erysipelas had set in. The hand had turned black and was swollen out of shape. She was very feverish and had become sick. A messenger was sent for one of the madstones. After four days and nights the child was pro nounced well. Tho eiysipelns , black ness , swelling and fever had disap peared , and the child was as well as she ever had been.

McBride , postmaster at this place , left last Sundaj * morning without stating his destination. It now transpires that he is a defaulter to the government to the amount of several hundred dol- lars , besides owing private indebtedness to a large amount Other acts of iinan- cial crookedness are being discovered. He was in Helena on Tuesday morning , from which place a number of checks i with Helena endorsers have been re- . ceived , at tho National Park bank of this j city. , Efforts are being made by his bondsmen for his apprehension and ar- ' rest. He was seen j-esterday at Great ' Falls. His wife , who is here at tho 1 Catholic [ academy , educating herself in ] mrsic and art , alleges that he cruelly ( mistreated hor , and she will sue for di vorce. He was appointed by the pres- j cut i administration a little over a 3ear , nrn ' It is believed that he is making for i the Canada li.io. The authorities and . tho victims of his bogus checks are ' . makiug efforts to effect his capture , but he had a good start , and it is doubtful ' if he will bo overhauled. The amount j of his defalcation as postmaster will foot up $ G00 or $700 , and he undoubted- * ly obtained as much as that from various t citizens in Helena on forged checks. 1 Suspicious Ocean Arrivals.

" STEPHEN GEOVER CLEVELAND , THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS NOW CHOSEN Cleveland ontl Tliurmun ICnlercd for the Xa- tluiu-l Contest to Occitv in November. In tho democratic national conven tion at St. Louis on the 7th , Mr. White , of California , moved that the roll be called for the nomination of vice presi dent , and that the chairmen of delega tions announce their choice. The motion was carried and the clerk proceeded with the call of states. There was no response until Cali fornia was reached. Mr. Tnrpie then stepped upon the platform and in quite a lengthy speech nominated Tlmrman , of Ohio. When the stato of Colorado was reached Hon. J. M. Patterson addressed the convention in favor of Gen. Black's nomination. Senator Vooriiees nominated Isaac P. Gra3 % of Indiana. The nomination was seconded b3 * Mr. Cox , of Georgia. When all nominations and f-poeehet- had been made the clerk proceeded to the call of the roll of states and territo ries , and the chairman of each delega tion was requested to announce the names of those for whom the delegates vote. vote.After After the result had been made known Mr. Patterson of Colorado said : Mr. Chairman : On behalf of the friends of General J. C. Black of Illi nois I am requested to formalty with draw his nans , and I move that the nomination of Allen G. Tlmrman for vice president be made unanimous. . Mr. Shanklin of Indiana said : Mi- . Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con vention : I rise for the purpose of with drawing the name of Isaac P. Gra3" , and of moving that tho nomination of Allen G. Tlmrman be made unanimous. We brought our candidate to this conven tion in good faith , believing that it was for the interests of the party that he should be nominated. But this conven tion , composed of the ability and intel ligence of the great democratic party of the nation , has settled upon another choice , and Ave bow to that choice and promise that , as partisans of Mr. Gray 3'esterday , we are now and from this timo forward apostles of Tlmrman and Cleveland. I now move that the nomi nation of Allen G. Thurmau be made unanimous. The chairman said : It is moved by Mr. Patterson of Colorado , and second ed b3r Mr. Shanklin of Indiana , that Allen G. Thurmau of Ohio be nominat ed by acclamation ; those in favor of that motion will sa3r aj'e. At this point the convention rose en masse and shouted forth a long , loud and unanimous a3'e. The chairman : The chairman of thi- convention declares Allen G. Thurmau of Ohio to be the unanimous choice of this convention for the office of vice president of tho United States. [ Loud applause and cheering. ] STEPHEN GKOVER CLEVELAND. Stephen Grover Cleveland was bore at Caldwell , an obscure New Jerse3 town , in 183S. His father was a Presbj * - terian minister. The family made sev eral removals to New York towns , and were at Holland Pattent , fifteen miles north of Utica , when tho father died. As a boy Grover "tended" store and taught school , but he tired of the latter aud started out to make his fortune. His first idea was to go to Cleveland , but an uncle , a noted stock breeder at Buffalo ; , persuaded him to stop there and i compile a herd book , telling him he could "look round. " He decided to be a lawyer , and was given a place by Bogers , Bowen Sc Bogers , as office boy ; at ; the end of four years he was made managing clerk. In 1SG3 , through the influence of those in "Uhe office , he was appointed assistant district at- attornoj * . In 1SG5 he ran for district at- torueAon the democratic ticket , but was defeated. ' He then entered upon the practice of law and had various partners at : different times when not in office. He was elected sheriff of Erie county in 18G9. His election as mayor of Buffalo in : 1881 on a democratic reform ticket gave ; him a state prominence , and tho tidal wave of 1SS2 swept him into the governor's chair 1)3 * a majority of 192,854. ALLEN G. TirURJIAN. Allen ( Jr. Thurmau was born of revo- lutionaiy stock at Lynchburg , Ya. , in 1813. The family moved to Ohio when he was six 3'ears old. He had only a grammar school education , but took up law as a calling. He was nominated for the Twenty-ninth congress against his protest , and overcame tho (500 republi can majority in his district He was j put on the judiciaiy committee of the j house and became distinguished as a ] groat lawyer. He declined re-election i at the close of his term and retired , as I ho thought , to private life for good and ] all. But in 1851 , when the new con- ' .stitutiou of Ohio Avas adopted , he Avas . ' pressed into tho race for a supreme couit judgeship and Avas elected , lead ing tho ticket by over 2,000 A-otes. He -at upon tho bench four years , tho last t two j'ears serving as chief justice. In ! 18(57 ( , after a season of rest , he Avas nom- ! mated for governor against Butherford I B. Hayes. Tho republican major- j ity the before had been 43,000. i but Tlmrman Avas defeated bA * i only 3.000. The democrats captured j he legislature , and Judge Thurmau was elected the United States senate in i 1SG ! ) in the place of Ben Wade. He be came the leader of his party in the sen- ! ate , and a re-election kept him there ' until 1831. He then decided to retire , from pnblif life , but Avithin a week • I'roMdoiit Ga'-hVId appoint"d him a dol- pT'e t tho international congrosi to bo held that year at Paris to consider the : " t * * sih'cr question. Having had a desire to visit Europe , he improved this oppor tunity and made an extended trip. Since then he has been in private life , practicing laAv. His candidacy for the presidential nomination in 1S34 is fresh in mind. Senator Tlmrman is one of the most thorough scholars in public life in this country. Alwa\s a student , he became earty in life a great lawyer , and since then has devoted much time to lighter stiuty. Ho is a fine French scholar , and his favorite books are the Avorks of the earlier French dramatists , Avhich ho j' reads in the original. He has an unusu- alty large and Avell selected librae , and , there are few books in the range of political literature that he is not familiar with. Ho has a genious for mathematics , and frequentty occupies himself in Avork- iug out the most abstrrse and intricate problems. He sa3s that he is prouder of his knoAvledge of mathematics than he is of an3thing else. A COMPROMISE IS PR03ABLE. A. Belief thill Such Will lie Made Jiefore the Chtoayo Convention Meets. Washington special : There is a belief entertained by mau3r men of national prominence in the republican party and noAv m Washington , that before the Chicago convention meets a compromise will be reached AA-hereb3 * a number of candidates Avill retire from the field. There is to be no Avrangling and no : harsh feeling in the convention , sa3' the managers of candidates in Washington , and Avhoe\rer is nominated is to be the unanimous choice of the delegates. It can be truthfulty said that Senator Sherman is not as anxious for the nom- ( ination this time as he was four 3'ears ago. He is not exerting himself for his i advancement and I haAe it from men ' Avho hav e just consulted Avith him that t he is read * , - at an3' time to withdraw t Avhen n man Avhowill meet the general r indorsement of the party is suggested , c The friends of Judge Gresham are most ( obstinate and are doing their utmost to t force the preferment of their choic. i They haA'e steadfastty refused to entere tain aii3r proposition which docs * not int elude .Judge Gresham for the first or t second place , and Avhatever there may v bo done in the way of consolidation y upon an3 man for first or second place g on the ticket , it is likely that Judge e Gresham Avili be left out. The Greshii am men havo been so antagonistic in ii all their campaigns , to all appearances , li that they will likely be left with the 'i field against them. A republican senaii tor Avho admonished against the use of fi his name said this afternoon : u "There Avill not be more than three d men before the convention after the p first ballot , and I do not expect to see p over four names balloted for at the bec ginning. It may be that there Avill not v be OA-er two men in the field after the h third or fourth ballot I think the peoo pie at large are mistaken when the3r exft pect a dead-lock and a tiresome series h of balloting , and a lot of speeches and ri pleadings. 1 think the thing Avill be o pretty AA-ell settled a da3' or two before tl ; the conA'ontion meets , and after there a are complimentaiy A-otes the conclusion e will be arrived at , everj'bodj Avill be fi pleased , and the convention Avill adh journ. There will be no hard feeling , h We intend to have harmony and sueu cess. - IBorrIbl - ltolooau-1.

White of California Avas 1 ! chosen temporal chairman , and upon I being escorted to tho platform said : I "Gentlemen of the Convention Pro foundly gratefnl for the distinction just conferred ( upon me , I am nevertheless conscious ' that I lutve been chosen for this ( position because of 3'onr apprecia tion I of that important section of our common < countiy from Avhenco I camo. California \ was acquired under democrat ic ] rule. It became a commonwealth under J democratic auspices. It is there fore lifting that tho bestowal of this fa- vor ] should emanate from an organiza- tiou , Avhoso patriotism and courage gavo her to the American union , and that party should bo the first to press for1 ! ward , with parental fondness , tho chil dren of those who knocked and did not knock j in vain for admission to the priA'- ileges of statehood. For the first timo for j a period covering more than a quar- ter t of a centuiy a democratic national con\cntiou is held Avhile the affairs of the * government are conducted ly a democratic ! administration. Up to the late presidential election the repub lican j party declared that demo cratic success meant national ruin , and i that Avhatever might bo said of the crimes and transactions of J those then in authority , 3'et to no other keeping could the welfare of the United States bo safely confided. This docf trine Avas repudiated at the polls , and the experience of almost four 3'ears has demonstrated that these assertions and charges were nnAvarrantcd aud that tho people Avere right in demanding and compelling a change. The platform of the principles adopted at our last 11a- tiomil coiiA'cntion prescribed Arilh aceuj rac3 * the rules of conduct Avhich should control governmental action. Grover Cleveland selected that coinonJ Avas ly coin-on- tion as a man Avhose firmness , ability , integrity and statesmanlike qualities eminently fitted him to undertake the task of canying out the great reforms thus suggested by the organization to j whose tenets he had ever been read3' to yield his compliance. For 3-ears it has r irenerahy been conceded that it avos ncc- ] essaiy to reform the tariff. The exist- t ing law on the subject had been called ] into being during tho excitement and n because of the exigencies of the Avar. J- rhe republican party , Avhile not deiyj j ing the necessity for reform , has CAer f failed to suggest am' remed3' , and has uniA'ersally thwarted the efforts of the , lemocracv to afford needed relief. The \ present administration has realized the c promises made by the demo- h n-atic convention of 1884. In other j words , the democratic administration v ma set its utmost endeavors to cariy j mt the platform on which our great re- j form A'ictoiy Avas achieA'ed. If the tariff las not. been modified it is because of c republican obstruction. The existence c ) f an enormous surplus in the treasury hrcatens the industries of the countiy , , constant source of injury to consum- -j 21s and men of moderate means Avho ' iud it difficult to obtain monetary asf isbince. because of the withdrawal of a arge portion of the circulating media 1111. " fJ The speaker went on to saj" that this r' unfortunate situation was directty at- triliutable to the polie3' of the republiij can party , whose aim had been to en- " courage and enrich monopolies , and to ignore : the interests of he masses. He c ; spoke of the millions of acres of public domain ' Avhich passed into the hands of u corporate and foreign syndicates during j republican administrations to the detrie ) ment of real settlers. The speaker said : "Jn conformity AAith the A'iews of the president , a statute has been enacted preventing the acquisition of lands ly y tho.se not citizens of the Unib-d Mates , ; iud restricting tlie power of corpora- : Lions : to obtain title to realty in the terk ritoiies.
