Westover called on us yesterday while in town as a lay delegate attending the M. E. conference which is in session at this place. There are numerous ministers here and they will have enthusiastic meetings. Last week the Star Journal of Ainsworth swapped proprietors , Jas. W. Burleigh retiring and K. S. Rising and C. A. Barnes assum ing charge. Mr. Burleigh gave a long farewell address in which he indicated that his heart was right though he made mistakes and asked : 'the forgetfulness of the people for o > them. The new proprietors are oe oe well known business men of Ains- e : wprth and if they follow their intentions - < tentions the Star-Journal will rise c above personalities and controver ir sies. The paper will be republican it in and with * 'the ittl politics start be tl lief that the republican principles tltl have been responsible for the un precedented prosperity of the 01 country , and that republican of ! ficials and law-makers are necessary n ; sary for the carrying into effect of those principles. " The DEMO CRAT extends the usual courtesies and hopes to meet them as men , though opposed politically to their Pi jbeliet di t The Democratic State Platform , Following is the platform adopted at the state convention at Columbus : We , the democrats of Nebraska , in convention assembed , reaffirm our faith in the principles of the party ad enunciated in the last national platform , adopted at Kansas City. We denounce the national republican administration for its failure to carry out its promises heretofore made and its subservience to special interests at the expense of and to the detriment of the interests of the public at large. We are unalterably opposed to any form of asset currency legisla tion and to any legislation of the character of the Aldrich bill. We demand that the attorney genenal of our state shall make ap plication to the supreme court of the United States for permission to put the Nebraska maximum freight law into immediate effect , in accord with the suggestion ot the court. In the campaign one year ago the democracy of Nebraska charged that the election of a republican legis lature would be a victory for the railroads and other corporate interests which presume to dictate in state allairs. , We call attention to the faithful manner in which republican officials have championed the corporations , enacting and applying statutes to the injury of the home owners , farming and business interests to the profit of the raihoads and othe public corporations. We charge that the late republican legislature deliberately substituted the Ramsev bill intending thereby to deny to the farmers of this state all relief irom the grain trust , the most burdensome and exacting combine now operating within this state. We arraign the republican party of Neb.aska for the failure of thei last legislature to keep its ante-election promises ; to provide a just and j equitaple revenue law , and charge chat it surreodered to corporate in fluence and dictation , discriminated in favor of the railroads in the tax- 's ' ! ation thereof. We arraign the republican state administration for its extravagant expenditures and for burdening the state with an immense lloating in debtedness as a direct result of such action and we demand a more economic handling of the public funds. The shameful interference by Governor Mickey in the efforts of his deputies to properly and honestly enforce the provisions of the oil inspection law should meet the severe condemnation of every lover of law. His notorious and successful at-f tempt to pei mit the Standard Oil company to sell in this state a grade" of oil condemed by his deputies as dangerons to the life and property of consumers must be construed as evidence of woeful ignorance or crimi nal collusion. We believe the judiciary to be the corner stone of American govern ment , both state and national. Upon its ability , independence and in tegrity rests the future of American institutions. We therefore demand that the judiciary of this state be kept free from partisan bias and the A undue influence of special and corporate interests. We commend to the voters of Nebraska the record of John J. Sulli van as embodying our ideas of the high character the judiciary ought to entertain. We invite all citizens , without reference to their political affilia tions , who agree with us in the foregoing principles and who believe in an independent judiciary to support the nominees of this convention.

A Trans-Continental Gateway A. new book descriprive of Oinalia issued by The North-Western Line , One of the most attractive railroad publications that has been seen in juite a while is the booklet descrip tive of Omaha , Council Bluffs and South Omaha , now being distributed ay the passenger department of the Uhicaco & North-Western Ry.

The Chidago & North-Western R'y announces that much interest is be ing evidenced throughout the west in Chicago's celebration of the 100th an niversary of that city's settlement in 1803. The celebration will take place from September 26th to October 1st next , with a program that includes a series of commemorative events that possess many special features of int erest. A great naval display will be a part of the program , together with regattas and the spectacular arrival in canoes , by way of the lake , of 400 Indians , the descendents of tribes formerly occupying this site , who will establish village around a repro duction of old Fort Dearborn , on the lake front. Athletic contests , parades , great fire works displays , patriotic meet- i ingg and religious services , a grand chorus , military maneuvers by gov ernment troops , and on the conclud- day a reception to the President of the United States and other disting uished guests , all contribute to a most f . L. elaborate program. L.T Every energy is being employed to make the occasion typical of that spir a it that has made Chicago one of the u greatest cities in the world. N st Remember Dr. Barnes , who was ( here Tuesday , Sept 1st , treating tl : : eyes , will be here again Oct. 7th. ; Remember the date. i MAY MAKE CHANGES IN ARMY SiniT31ay Divide De partment of Missouri anil Rehabilitate Abandon ed Forts. Washington , D. 0. , Sept. 2. The Post says that the general staff of the army is considering the advis ability of realigning the depart moots to conform to changes in the transportation situation. "It is possible , " says the Post , "that one or more departments will be created. The department of the east , for example , may be divided into two , the new one to be desig nated either as the department of the south or the gulf. Kansas , Oklahoma and Indian Territory may be taken from the the depart ment of Missouri and combined in to one department. Another proposition , even of more interest to the country , that is being considered by the general staff , is the rehabilitation of num erous forts and posts in various parts of the country , but mainly in the west , which have been abandoned for several years. Now that the army consists of nearly 70,000 men it is discovered that the posts which have been kept in repair are not numerous enough to accommodate the troops comfort ably. It is not improbable that in this necessity some new posts will have to be establised. World-Her ald. Nebraska at the World's Fair , The Sugar Beet Industry Form * nn Attractive JExliibit Other Agricul tural Features-Splendid Ed ucational Participation. The great State of Nebraska , in making her World's Fair exhibit at St. Louis , will draw largely from the state museum , with its treas ures , valued at more than § 125,000 and will also have the private col lection of the Hon , Charles H. Merrill - rill , which cost more than 850,000. Nebraska's commission selected a building site on the plateau of .States facing the Kansas building , and between the Oklahoma and Colorado buildings. The building was designed by Thomas Kimball , of Omaha. It will be 80x100 feet and will cost $15,000. The appropriation provided by the state legislature is § 35,000. Commercial organizations and pri vate individuals have undertaken the task of doubling this sum , and have guaranteed the success of the undertaking. With the collection of the state museum and Prof. Mor- ril's valuable collection , Nebraska will practicably have § 200,000 at her disposal. In the department of Education , Nebraska will make an especially comphrensive exhibit under the control of Prof. E. H. Barbour , of the Nebraska State University , at Lincoln. In the Palace of Agriculture , the sugar beet industry will be the basis for a splendid display , showing the accepted methods of cultivating the beet , and in the production of sug ar. A sugar beet factory will be shown in operation. Nebraska is the state in which this great indus try was developed , and where the first sugar beet factory and refin ery were established. , Other products in the agricul tural department that will form the basis for large exhibits will be wheat , corn , oats and the grasses. The horticultural exhibit will em brace choice selections from the apple , grape and small fruit crops. The usual field day exercises will take place at Ft. Niobrara next Tuesday , Sept. 15th. For lack of space we are unable to pub lish the program this week. We enjoyed a pleasant call yes terday with Mrs. M. E. Phelps , of Chicago , a sister of Mrs. Jas. Wilson of Georgia , who died about su year ago. Mrs. Phelps has been st < up to Georgia visiting with Mrs. ar Nina Wilson and looking after her it1 stock.
