GRASsnoprERS were seen flying north
ward at Lincoln the other day , with
the wind. They were not numerous
enough to cause a scare , but were
watched with much interest. It is sup
posed that they " were hatched in west
ern Kansas and were simply flying to
regions with more plentiful vegeta
tion.
General Manager Dickinson and
other officiuls of the Union Pacific re
turned last week by special train from
a trip of inspection of the system. Mr
Dickinson found everything in satis
factory condition and the road in fine
shape. There is a general tendency
toward better times throughout the
west. Garfield beach was ordered
opened.
Anticipating one of the biggest
crops Nebraska has produced , the Bur
lington shops at Havelock , Nebraska ,
are putting the equipment of the B. &
M. Ry. in the best possible condition.
In less than sixty days the operating
department will be taxed to its utmost
capacity. The force at the shops will
be greatly increased ; all of which
means prosperity to Havelock.
The safe of Gunther & Needham ,
general merchants at St. Edwards , was
blown open by burglars last week.
The report of the explosion was heard
by several parties , but no attention
was paid to it. There was about S50
in the safe , which they obtained by
prying the money box open. The safe
door is badly damaged and has a hole
drilled iu the knob where the powder
was inserted. There is no clue to the
robbers.
The building belonging to the de
funct Commercial bank at Weeping
Water was sold for the benefit of de
positors and was bought by an Omaha
man for 52,080. So far the depositors
have received dividends to the amount
of SO per cent , and this sale will make
it GO per cent. Prospects are flattering
that the total assets will make it possi
ble to pay out almost dollar for dollar
in a few months.
The marble donated by the state
of Tennessee to Nebraska for a statue
of Abraham Lincoln arrived last week.
This is the first installment , and com
prises two blocks , 14x12x4 feet in size
and weighing thirty tons. John Curry ,
the stone cutter who fashioned a plas
ter cast of Lincoln , and who wants to
chisel the handsome Tennesse marble
blocks , says that another installment
of the pedestal , weighing 150 tons , is to
follow these two blocks.
When Swanson & Sickman , Aurora
grocers , reached their store the other
morning they found that some party or
parties had cut the lower panels out of
the rear door and also out of a door in
a partician near the rear end of the
store , and thus gained an entrance to
the safe and money drawer , from
which they obtained about 530. The
safe had been blown open by means of
a fuse , a portion of which was found
on the floor. Nothing was taken or
disturbed except the money.
A peculiar fish about eight inches
in length was caught at Cut-Off lake
last week. In general appearance the
specimen resembles a cattish. It has
the same ugly , protruding mouth and
antennae , or feelers , as the cat , but in
addition is equipped with four perfect
ly formed legs , .which end in claws re
sembling a human hand : A dorsal fin
extends almost the entire length of the
body and the back is covered with a
dark brown , mottled skin. The lower
portion is covered with small scales.
The annual exhibition of the John
son County Agricultural and Mechan
ical association will be held September
8 to 11 , inclusive. The management is
now at work arranging a program of
special features that will be attractive
enough to make the fair a grand draw
ing card. In addition to the customa
ry races there will be numerous other
attractions offered. September 9 will
be old settlers' day , and the meeting
of the county's pioneers will be held in
a large log cabin , which is to be erect
ed on the ground. Some prominent
speaker will address the gathering.
Thomas Mackey has been found
guilty in the federal court at Omaha of
having criminal intercourse with a girl
under sixteen years of age. Mackey is
a white man and the complaining wit
ness , Martha Mackey , is his stepdaugh
ter and a half-breed Indian. The
parties all live at the Santee agency
and the illicit relations have continued
for several years , or since the girl was
about twelve years old. The testimo
ny , which was of a revolting character ,
shows that the girl's mother , the wife
of Mackey , had knowledge of what
was going on and consented to it.
The farmers near Havelock are agi
tating the question of building a
creamery. Two meetings have been
held. It seems probable they will offer
a small bonus and a building bite in
Havelock as an inducement to any
company that will establish a good
plant there. The country has been
canvassed and milk can be had from
at least 500 cows. The oldest settlers
about Havelock say that the present
crop prospects are better than they
have been for twenty j-ears. Oats are
heading out nicely and bid fair to
yield from fifty to seventy-five bushels
per acre. Corn will be waist high by
July 14th. The ground is in excellent
condition. In the year 1891 Nebraska'
had practically two crops , but 1896 bids
fair to excel 1891.
Two women and a man were
'
drowned in the Missouri east of Teka-
mah the other day. Two young men
and two young women were pleasure
riding in a boat , near what is known
as the Ludwick saw mill. The river is
very high , and the boat getting caught
in an eddy , struck a snag , which tipped
it so that it partially filled with water.
One of the girls grabbed one of the
men around the neck in her fright.
The young man was an excellent
swimmer , and , evidently thinking the
boat was going to sink and that he
could swim ashore with the girl , jump
ed overboard with her. In jumping
they overturned the boat , throwing
their companions into the water and
all were drowned. " The first couple
were never seen after they sank.
Farmers report that the crops in
the neighborhood of Norfolk are excep
tionally good this year , especially in
the northern part of the county.
Small grain and corn never looked bet
ter and beets are Al. The heavy rains
lately put the beets back a little , but
this hot weather is bringing them up
again.
Little Edith Boyd of Columbus is
only 3 years old and had , the other
day , a marvelous escape from death.
A window in an ' upper story gave way
and she fell out 'head foremost to , the
ground , a distance.of eleven feet She
was dazed for little while rrjid com
plained of a slight pain in thev back ,
but there was nothing serious.

Chicago , July 4. There is talk
among the free silver leaders of call
ing a caucus before the convents > n for
the purpose of fixing a slate. Should
this be done , Governor Altgeld's fdea
of a "one day" convention may be
carried into effect.
W. H. Hinrichscn , chairman of the
Illinois State central committee and
delegate-at-large , says that there is a
strong sentiment among the free
silver delegates now in the city favor
ing such a caucus. "But even if there
should be no caucus , " he continued ,
"I have an idea that the work of the
convention can be wound up in a
single day. As I figure it out , the
silver candidates for the nomina
tion for President will be Bland ,
Boies , Blackburn , Matthews and Mc
Lean. Of these I rather incline to the
belief that Boies and Bland will gat
the bulk of the votes , and that
whoever has the greatest number of
votes on the first ballot will be nomi
nated on the second. As to nhe gold
men. I don't think we have anything
to fear from them. As soon as they
get here and circulate among the
delegates they will have political

sagacity enough to see that they are
in a hopeless minority , and that to
make a fight would be butting their
heads against a brick wall with an
idea of battering it down. The ma
jority of the Democrats are for free
silver , and it has always been the
policy of the Democrats to allow the
majority to rule. "
Hinrichsen thinks that C. S. Thomas ,
national committeeman from Colorado
and chairman of the delegation from
that State , stands a good show of
being elected temporary chairman.
"It is quite possible , " he continued ,
"that the temporary organization will
be made permanent. This could be
done for the purpose of expediting
business. "
COLORADO FOR BLAND
Bat Will Vote for Teller % t His Name
Is Presented.
Denver , Colo. , July 4. Five of the
Colorado delegates to the Democratic
national convention favor the nomi
nation of Bland and , as the unit rule
will be observed , he will probably re
ceive the eight votes of Colorado on
the firs t ballot. Should Teller's name
be presented , Colorado votes will go
to him , but the Colorado delegation
will present no candidate.
Last week it was planned to send a
large and influential delegation ot
Colorado citizens , without regard to
party affiliations , to work tor the
nomination of Senator Teller , but the
plan has been abandoned , as the Sen
ator himself did not approve of it.
While no organized body will go from
here in his behalf , Senator Teller will
have a large number of friends at
Chicago.
P * tHson Men oa Their Way.
Ppiladklphia , July 4. The Pensyl-
vania delegates from this city and the
eastern counties of the State , with a
number "f friends , left on a special
train for Chicago. The locomotive
and cars were decorated with flags
and b'ipting , and on the side of one
of the cirs was a piece of canvas bear
ing this motto : "Pa ison and Sound
Money. " All of th delegation wear
badges surmounted by a gold crossbar
bearing the "word "Pennsylvania , "
with pictures of Pattison on white
celluloid suspended.

New , Orleans" , July 4. The National

CHAIRMANSHIP ISSUE.
National Committeemen Do No ; Like the
Demands of Mlver Lsaiers.
Chicago , July 4. It has been deter
mined as far as it nan be in advance of
the meeting of the national commit
tee that some man not identified with
the silver movement , although he may
have leanings tovird silver , will bo
selected for chairman. It is apparent
from the talk of the members of the
committee who are here that they do
not like the term- which the silver
men laid down for the sub-committee
and they feel that the national com
mittee should not be dictated to in
this mater. Ben T Cable , member of
the national committee for Illinois ,
who was not at the meeting of the
sub-committee when the delegation of
silver lenders apoeared , says he is op
posed to having the Democratic na
tional committee swerve from its
usual custom in its selection of a tem
porary chairman , and if the conven
tion d < s not like the committee's
selection , it will have the right to
vote in another man. It seems to be
the opinion that the committee will bo
going fnr outsides custom to submit
to a faction of the party the selection
of a presiding officer.
1NGALLS AROUSED.
The Author of a False Political Inter
view May Suffer.
Atchison , Kan . July 4. An alleged
interview with * x-Senator John J.
Ingalls , in which he was made to pre
dict the defeat of McKinley , which
has been published in many newspa
pers , is pronounced by him a forgery
from beginning to end.
To the best of Mr. Ingall's informa
tion the article originally appeared in
the "Silver Knight National Watch
man" of Washington , D. C , under a
St. Louis date , June 25.
Mr. Ingalls is very indignant , and
to-day telegraphed to the district
attorney at Washington to bring crim
inal proceedings against the author.
Herbert May Be Made a Jndge.
Washington , July 4. Members of
the administration , especially the
heads of departments , seem to be
reconciled to the fact that no matter
how the election goes this fall they
will have no influence after March 4 ,
1897. Probably no member of the
cabineDt will be left as badly oft as
Secretary Herbert , if not taken care
of in some other government appoint
ment. It is said that Cleveland may
appoint him to a judicial position
within the next few months.
Bradley John ton Bitter.
New York , July 4. A dispatch to
the World from Havana , says : "Gen
eral Bradley T. Johnson , commenting
to-day on the news of the death of
Harriet Bcecher Stowe , said : "I am
glad of it. Although there was some
truth in what she wrote , there was
much that was false. For instance ,
while it is true tnat there were isolated
(
lated cases of ill treatment of slaves ,
it is not true that such treatment was
general throughout the South. "
Teller , and Not Bland , Wanted.
Wichita , Kan. , July 4. The Kansas
Commoner , the leading Populist paper
of Southern Kansas , declares edito
rially to-day that the Populisls will
support Teller for President if he be
made the Democratic nominee , but
that 50 per cent of the Populists
would not support Bland even if he
should be indorsed by the Papulist
convention at St. Louis.
Poisoned by Wood Alcohol.
Jefferson City , Mo. , July 4. Two
convicts in the penitentiary drank a
quantity of wood alcohol yesterday ,
and las' night bo' died from the ef
fects. The dead men are Lewis Ken-
nade , sentenced from St. Louis in 1894
to twenty years for murder , and Ever

county in 1891 to seven years for
burglary.

Washington , July 4. Colonel Jo
seph C. McKibben died at his country
home on the Potomac Wednesday
night , lie was born at Ci.ambers-
burg , Pa. , in 1824 , was a congressman
from California before the civil war
and served with distinction during
that struggle. He was Broderick's
second in the duel with Judge Terry.
Fnston in the Seventh Kansas.
Wichita , Kan. , Julv 4. Leading
Populists and Democrats of this place
are confident that the action of the
Democratic congressional committee
of the Seventh di ' - t at Hutchinson
yesterday , in deriding to hold the
congressional convention at Larned
August 8 , the same place and time as
the Populist congressional conven
tion , foreshadows fu-ion.

Hartford , Conn. , July 4. With all
the beauty of the full Episcopal ritual
the funeral services over the body of
the late Mrs. Harriett Beecher Stowe
were solemnized at her late home yes

the expressed wish of Mrs. Stowe ,
everything in connection with the
funeral was devoid of ostentation.

Neosho , Mo. . July i. M. E. Benton

he will be a candidate for the Demo
cratic congressional nomination from

ex-Mayor E. W. Stevens , eioped from
home yesterdav afternoon , and was
married at Warrens burg at 8 o'clock
last evening to Prof. Ansel Williams ,
a teacher in the Deaf and Dumb.school
at Fulton , Mo. Both the bride and
groom are deaf and dumb , and they
became lovers while Miss Maud was
receiving instructions at the hands of
Prof. Williams at Fulton. A year ago
the couple were desirous of marrying , \
but Mayor Stevens objected , and it
was supposed the little love affair cad
died away.

.Lincoln , Neb. , July 2. The repub
lican state convention was held hera
today. Chairman Mallalieu of the
Btate central committee called the con
vention to order. Prayer was offered
by Rev. Luther P. Ludden of Lincoln ,
after which Secretary Tim Sedgwick
read the call. Dr. George W. Collins
of Pawnee City was introduced as tem
porary chairman.
H. 5r. Wells of Crete , George A. Hick-
ox of Dodge county and John G. Kuhns
of Douglas county were made tempo
rary secretaries.
On motion of George H. Thummel of
Grand Island the temporary organiza
tion was made permanent. Charles
Miller of Fillmore moved the appoint
ment of a committee of seven , to whom
all resolutions should be referred. It
carried.
A motion to adjourn until 1:30 p. m.
prevailed.
The convention reconvened at 1:45.
First in order was the seating of the
Peebles delegation from Thurston
county.
C. A. Atkinson of Lancaster moved
that the convention proceed to ballot
on candidates in the order of the call ,
no nomination speeches to bo made.
The roll was called on governor ,
Adams county leading off with 18 votes
for Adams. The call proceeded with
out applause until Buffalo's 19 votes
were registered for MacColl.
On the fifth ballot MacColl was nomi
nated , the result being : MacColl G04 ,
Meiklejohn 316 % , Filley 1 , Moore 5 ,
Hay ward 110. Necessary to a choice
529. The nomination was made unani
mous. Mr. MacColl being loudly called
for , said :
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention : I never in my life realized
the poverty of our language to express
sentiment as I do at this moment. I
am not a speechmaker , but I believe I
am an honest citizen of Nebraska and
a , republican whose republicanism has
never been affected by political defeats.
If you want a candidate who can
prance upon the grand stand , I think
you have made a mistake. But if you
want a governor who will attend to the
duties of his office , you have , I think ,
chosen wisely. Gentlemen , I can only
thank you in the simple words , 'I
thank you , ' "
Orlando Teft was nominated for
lieutenant governor , the vote being
unanimous.
For secretary of state J. A. Piper
was nominated.
For auditor Peter O. Hedlund was
nominated.
The balance of the ticket was chosen
as shown at the head of the column.
the platform.
The republicans of Nebraska in con
vention represented affirm their faith
in the principles enunciated in the
platform adopted by the national con
vention at St. Louis ; the platform of a
party not ashamed of its record and
compelled to abandon no article of its
ancient faith
Chief among these standard princi
ples is a protective tariff , that cares
for every American interest and secures
the highest good for American labor ; a
reciprocity that , while seeking out the
world's markets for our surplus pro
ducts , will never yield up a single day's
wage that belongs to the American
workman : a sound dollar , as sound as
the government , and as untarnished as
its flag ; a dollar that is good not only
at home , but good wherever trade
goes as good ha the hands of a farmer
or a workman as in the hands of a
capitalist , a manufacturer or a corpora
tion.
tion.A
A foreign policy that respects the
American flag and causes it to be hon
ored abroad ; that embodies the sym
pathy of the American people in the
struggle of their oppressed neighbors
for liberty and self-government and
that jealously resents any and all en
croachments of the military powers of
the old world upon the territory of any
American republic.
A domestic policy that accords fair
treatment and generous recognition to
the veterans of the union army , that
gives them preference , wherever prac
ticable , in public employment ; that
suffers no union soldier , his widow or
orphan , to be deprived of a pension ,
regularly granted , without due notice
and an investigation as thorough and
impartial as that upon the faith of
which the pension was originally con-
ferred.
That provides a revenue sufficient
for current expenses and the mainten
ance of the public credit ; that allows
no excuse for increasing the national
debt in times of peace , and that re
stores our merchant marine.
The republicans of Nebraska most
heartily endorse the nomination of
their first choice , William McKinley of
Ohio for president and Garrett A. Hobart -
bart of New Jersey for vice president ,
and pledge them their enthusiastic and
undivided support.
They favor state legislation , with
proper restrictions , for the safety and
protection of the people , under which
mutual insurance companies may be
organized. The valued policy act
should not be repealed or modified in
any way that will destroy the equity
of its provisions.
The educational funds of the state
should be invested to the last possible
dollar in the securities specified in the
constitution , preference being given testate
state and county bonds.
