IV iM,oek fnbnrft. By F. M. KIMMELL. $1.60 A YEAR !N ADVANCE. ALL HOME PRINT. Bank Wrecker Mosher got five years in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It is gratifying to the antis to see that Sunday opening of the world’s fair up to date is a flat fail ure. Western Nebraska should be recognized this fall, in the selection of a candidate for supreme judge. Splendid material is going to waste here. The western passengen associat ion has agreed to make a half rate and run excursions on and after July 17th—the proper caper, only too long deferred. J Udge Dundy evidently does not blieve in “making the punishment fit the crime,” or Mosher would not have escaped with the minimum sentence of five years. The average citizen’s respect for the law is in nowise augmented by such sentence as the one just passed on Bank Wrecker Mosher by Judge Dundy. The guilty man should have recived the maximum sentence of ten years at least, A severe storm blew over the white city, Sunday, doing great damage to buildings and exhibits. A number of lives were lost on the lake, and there were many narrow escapes. Altogether it was a most exciting incident of the great ex position. The burning of the cold storage building in the world’s fair grounds Monday, was an appalling catas trophe, iu which there was fright ful loss of life—-between 30 and 40 firemen and others being burned to death or killed iu jumping from the 200 feet high tower of the building. The details are simply horrible beyond expression. Ex-Governor Gear of Iowa is so confident that the coming session of congress will be a long one that he announces his determination to secure quarters in AVashington for a year from the date of the begin ning of the extra session. Before the year is over the people will be just as anxious to get congress dissolved as they tfre now for the members to get together, The fierce storm which swept over Chicago on Sunday subjected the AVorld’s Fair buildings to what might be called a crucial test. The damage was comparatively slight including a rent in the roof of Ma chinery hall, and the crashing in of one of the huge glass doors of the Administration building. The © i various structures throughout the! grounds stood the onslaught of the elements well, and the storm served to prove not only that the architec ture of the great Columbian show' is unriveled in taste and beauty, but that its faultless grace and elegance is also combined with the elements of strength and solidity. Duimxg the late campaign we were' asked to expect that Lorenzo Crouuse would make a clean, able and dignified governor. So far as The Tribune has been able to see and learn he has filled expectations of a reasonable and just nature quite fully and satisfactorily. Hence we are unable to account for the zealous warfare being waged against him by some of the repub lican newspaper men of the state on any just grounds; while many pru dential reasons suggest themselves why at this juncture there should be more harmony existing in the republican ranks in Nebraska. Some republicans act as though they esteemed the sinking ship not worth the saving. The Chicago Tribune, through Prime’s crop bureau, has addressed to the farmers of 1,000 diffierent localities iu the West and North west the following question; “Are you staying away from the World’s Fair on account of the high rail road rates?” Of the 044 answers received 770, or over 75 per cent, are in the affirmative. The replies come from Illinois. Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Tennessee, Kentucky and the Dakotas. This experiment indi cates fairly the sentiment of the farming element of the country in respect to rates to the World’s Fair and points out to the railroads their duty in the case. It is learned that the Nebraska state band will soon be taken on a tour covering the principal cities and towns of Nebraska. The or ganization already has gained a fine reputation abroad, and the quality of its music warrants the prediction that the band will return from this trip fairly covered with glory. The people of Lincoln do not seem to be aware of the _ real character of the band, for they have scarcely heard it since its organiza tion. Possibly after the people of the state show their appreciation Lincoln will awaken to a realiza tion of the value of such a musical possession, and will give it the support which it deserves.—State Journal. The Hastings Democrat is un alterably apposed to fusion; but is in favor of any coalition, holy or profane, which means republican defeat: “We are opposed to fusion in this state by democrats and in dependents for supreme judge. But we favor the straight nomina tion of an able lawyer—the same man upon both tickets. It is fusion \ye appose, not beating republicans. Kansas is threatened with anoth er party. The newspapers out that way refer to it as the Billhiggins business-men’s party. Without any intention of meddling in the affairs of Kansas the suggestion is offered that any «party established on business principles would go a long way toward redeeming the Sunflower state, whether Bill Hig gins is in front of it or not. Professor Brander Matthews maintains that slang has a useful function to preform in supplying new words to an inelastic language. He also says that the most superior slang comes from the west. The logical conclusion must be that the effete east is compelled to look to the west for the rejuvenating forces of its speech. The result of the coming extra session of congress is anxiously an ticipated by all. District Court Filings.
