Christian civilization of the present day. The people of Nebraska have indeed great reason to feel a deep sense of gratitude to the Giver of all good.

( Seal ) . SILAS A. Hol.coiiu. By the governor. J. A. PIPER , Secretary of State. Murdcred by an Unknown Man , A Wilsonville , Neb. , dispatch to the Omaha Bee says : Albert Majors of De- vizes , eight miles south of here , came to town this morning and told a tale of a coolly planned and executed murder that occurred at that place at about sunrise in the morning. The facts in the case , as related , are these : Last evening a man unknown in the neighborhood of Devizes called at the home of John Nelson and inquired for Albert Applegate , saying he was an old friend of his and that he had known him on the range in Colorado. lIe stayed with Nelson over night , but did not give his name. In the morning early he started for the field near by , where Applegate was husking corn. The supposition of those who found the body are that the murderer sneaked upon his victim in a draw which ran very near where he was husking and commenced firing when hehad reached shooting distance. Applegate , afterr the first shot , is supposed to have decided - cided to clinch the man and started for him , pulling his coat as he ran. Four shots were fired , but that one struck him-the fatal shot-just as he reached , the murderer is known from the fact that his face was burned with powder. ' 'ire shot struck him just above the check bone , causing instant death. No one knows who the murderer was or the cause for the crime , but he is supposed to be a man with whom Ap pledate had had trouble while living in Colorado. Le told Majors last summer that he had caused the separation of a man and his wife in Colorado , and the husband had sworn to follow him and kill himn if it took twenty years. The + man who committed the deed is prou- ably the one who had vowed ven- geance. Ile has never been seen since the murder was committed. Apniegate is well known here as a sober , industri- us man.

The board of managers of the state board of agriculture , at a meeting held in Omaha , completed checking up ae- counts of the late state fair and after the last of the bills had been paid found a good four figure balance on the ri.rrht side of the cash book. All the members of the board expressed themselves - selves as well pleased with the result and as confident that the fair next year will be larger and a still greater sue- i cess. Chairman Dinsmore and Secretary Furnas were nppointed delegates to attend - tend the meeting of the western and eastern fair associations and the Amer- lean Shorthorn Breeders' annual convention - vention in Chicago. S. C. Basset was delegated to prepare an exhaustive article on sugar beet cultivation to be read before the annual meeting of the state fair board in Lincoln next Janu- ary. During the annual meeting of the board , the annual corn show , which promises to exceed all previous shows of the kind , and the annual meeting of the State Farmers' institute will also be held in Lincoln. Another Cause for Trouble. Lincoln dispatch : There is a new cause for disagreement between Warden - den Leiditrh of the penitentiary and the state board of public lands and buildings. 'The new cause of disagreement - ment between these contending parties - ties arises from the reported sale by the warden of some of the hots , a carload - load , which were raised on the penitentiary - tentiary grounds and are the property of the state. The members of the board say that this selling of state property by the head of a state insti- tution without the consent of the board is without precedent , and in direct violation of the rule which governs such matters. The board is supposed to be responsible for all purchases - chases and sales of property. and it says it is supposed that the members shalll know of such transactions. Dorsey Mnst Pay. Judge Shiras today , says a Lincoln dispatch , rendered his deci lon in the case wherein Albert Watkins , as receiver - ceiver for the Ponca National bank , sought to have a transfer of stock by G. 1V. E. Dorsey to Frank Dorsey set aside. The receiver alleged that Frank Dorsey was insolvent and the transfer just before the failure of the bank waste to protect G : W. E. Dorsey from liability - ity to assessment The court set aside the transfer , and the judgment recites that G. W. E. Dorsey must pay the assessments - sessments , which amount to 100 per cent. f . , . - - _ v MR. YiHITNE . f T R EX-SE ETflP tY RIOT A ND 1 DOTE FOR , T II E PRE S I BII Y , TALKS ON THE MATTER.

THERE IS NEED OF ITS IM- PROVEMENT. General Miles Says Any Foreign Navy Can Blockade Our Ports In Ninety Days Absolute Importance of Dcfeneo of the Entire Pacific Coast-Argument for An Increase of the Strength of the Army In Proportion to the Country'a Growth. We Are Dofenseless. WASRrNtlfoN , Nov. 13.-In his annual - nual report General Miles , commanding - manding the army , states that the condition of our sea coast defenses - fenses is such as to require decided - cided and immediate action for their improvement. The unguarded condition - tion of our coast is known by every first-class power , and our people should not be led into false security. lie quotes from his report of 1534 a strong argument for the defense of Puget sound , shows that since that time new Canadian railroads have been estab lisliecl there , yet not a single gun has been placed in position for defense , while those at the entrance of the Columbia - lumbia river are obsolete and of littie value. General Miles recalls what lie said in his report of ISS9 upon the absolute importance of the defense of the entire - tire Pacific coast , in view of the fact that it was possible for any naval power to blockade every important port within ninety clays , while it would take many years to make a successful - cessful resistance , and the country might be required to pay an indemnity of $5,000,000,000. While the railroads might transport 1,000,000 brave men to the coast , they would be useless with- outapplianees to cope with the modern - ern engines of tvar , and with all our intelligence , pride , inventive genhts and enterprise , we are as far behind in the modern applianees of war as China or Japan. Such were the conditions sixyears ago , says General Miles , and such are time conditions to-day , with the of the exception slight progress made at San Francisco. The entire Gulf coast and all the great cities of the Atlantic coast northward to Phila- dclphia are entirely without modern guns. Therefore , he strongly recommends the construction of all the high power guns and system of defenses called for in the general plan of the board of ordnance and fortifications and other boards , and to meet in tart the expense - pense of this costly undertaking lie suggests the application of the funds that might be derived from the sale of abandoned military resertations. To man these nuns he asks an increase of the artillery arni , rvrtli the provision of barracks at Fort llaneocis , N. Y. , for the accommodation of the troops , and the systematic detail of subaltern officers for instruction in rotation in this iiiaee. General Miles argues for an increase in the strength of the army , saying that there is no reason why it should become crystallized and kept at one strength , as it has been for years. It should increase with the growth of the ca entry and be determined by the census at a minimum of one soldier - dier for every 2,000 population and a maximum of one in 1,000. THE CUBAN ISSUE. Iiellef That the President Wrlt Iecoen- niend Itecotnltion of BeIiigercacy. 11'ASIriNGT0x , Nov. -Secretary Olney is said to feel more encouraged than at any time since lie began to talk to the President about the justice and desirability of some mterfcrence in Cuban affairs. For quite a time the President has been in a hesitating mood. lie thought of sending somebody - body to make an investigation , just as lie did regarding Iiawaiian affairs , but Mr. Olney pointed out that such a step would be in an indirect way a recognition of the revolutionists - ists , and that the Cnited States might as well act directly and promptly. The representatives of the revolutionists - ists are elated over the information that the President is % nciincd to do something. They are very confident that his message to Congress will be much more radical than his recent apparent indifference would indicat : ' . Recognition of the insurgents' government - ernment will be recommended , they think. ANTI-TOXIN FOR MISSOURI The State University Begins the Cultivation - vation of the Needed Germs.
