CoiiRrobS evidently docH.not desire to ndd n few more Btnrs to the constollu- iion on tlio untlonnl Imnnor BO close be fore the Fourth of July. In spite of the fnct tlmt the state cam- pnign is wide open Norfolk will cole- brute the Fourth of July mid give the people who nttond n royal good tlmo. Ex-Governor Poyntor made n strong epocoh before the populist convention , declaring tlmt pnrty integrity demanded the nomination of a populist for gov ernor , yet the convention endorsed a democrat. There nro strange doings where two parties and "harmony" got tangled up. The populists and democrats Imvo fused on a ticket but it is questionable If they will bo able to fuse the necessary votes. Not all who have done so in yearn that are past will follow the load of the state conventions. A largo nnm- berlmvo b ou voting the republican ticket and nro perfectly satisfied with the results. The wonderful growth being made by potatooshns effectually shattered prices for that necessity , and boiled , fried , baked or stowed , they will from this tiuio on lese that silver taste that has distinguished them for about n year. They will not bo in the list of delicacies this fall and winter , not in this section at least. Nothing less than a oyclono or earthquake can do the crop up now. All the populist delegates will now re turn to their homes and tell the faithful that it is all right that while the dem ocrats have named the governor and otherwise exercised the large shnro of influence nt the fusion convention and dictated to what was once the big end of the fusion combine it'is their duty to pull off their coats and hurrah for the nominee of the convention and they will submissively follow. The loss of life by the South Dakota- Iowa storm of Tuesday night was much exaggerated by first reports , but the loss of property and crops is immense. The property loss is now said to be fully a million dollars. Country property suf fered more than that of towns and cities. The sufferers do not need to worry over their unfortunate condition , however. Unless something disastrous happens in this state , Nebraska will have an abundance of produce to supply several states. Prospects for the passing'of the inter- oceanic canal bill are more favorable than they have been at any other time during the session of congress. The house conferees have decided to accept the senate bill in favor of the Panamtt route , and it is likely that the measure will be passed , thus taking a long step in support of America's commercial supremacy , which has been developing BO rapidly during tne past few years. "With the completion of this canal America will bo in position to enter the contest for the trade of the Orient in earnest and water communication be tween the two coasts of the country will be materially shortened with the result that relations between coast points will be closer and firmer. "What's this ! The State Journal has it that W. H. Thompson confided to a Lincoln friend that if ho became the fusion nominee for governor he would put f5,000 into the campaign and give the republicans a merry chase. Surely someone must be mistaken ; In the lirst place , one of the great common people has certainly not accumulated $5,000 that he can afford to blow in , during these days of republican misrule And official incompetency ; in the next i the Tlio that blldlUB a corruption urohoso the will of union fuRionlfltn | have for n IDng time now fought nil forma of wealth and would hardly bo guilty of nominating n man with f J > ,000 to spend on an election , The Journal'a state ment must bo a pipe dream , and all good f unionists will at once proceed to brand it us Bucli. LAND OEEKER8 MURDERED. Their Bodies Found on Newly Opened Indian Reservation. Wood Ulvor , Nob. , Juno 27.

Lange Hod yesterday afternoon. The Yciir INtfl. The yonr 1881 was n chronological oddity of the oddest kind , besides being n mathematical curiosity seldom equal ed. From right to loft and left to right It rends the HUIUC. Eighteen divided by 2 gives 0 ns a quotient ; 81 divided by 0 gives 0 ; If divided by 0 , the quo tlent contains n 0 ; If multiplied by n the product contains two Os ; 1 and 8 arc 0 ; 8 and 1 nro I ) . If the 18 he placed under the 81 mid lidded , the sum Is 00. If the figures be ntlded thus 1 , 8 , 8 , I it will give 18 as the result. Heading to the middle from right to left or from left to right It is 18 , and IS Is two-ninths of 81. By adding , dividing and multiplying ten Os are produced , being one 0 for each year to the begin nlng of the lust decade of the nine teenth century. No wonder the fortune tellers , the ns trologurs and the mathematicians , weave so many strange fancies around tlmt curious combination of figures. It mny Imvo been what Induced Mother Shlpton to end her prophetic Jingle with , "And nt last the world to nn end shall come in eighteen hundred and eighty-one. ' ' A Wonder In I'cnmnitnhlp. Among the curiosities preserved by the Minnesota Historical society Is n lithographed copy of nn engrossment of the cmiuiclpntlon proclamation. The engrosser , ono W. II. Pratt of Daven port , In. , was so very skillful In his manipulations of the pen tlmt he sue ceeded , by cnreful and exact Blinding of the letters , In producing n very ex celleiit portrait of Abraham Lincoln the author of the famous document , In the center of the copy. In other words , the lettering Itself Is mudc to form a portrait of Mr. Lincoln. There were probably n large number of them or innlly struck off , but copies of It nro now very rnre. As n specimen of pen work it Is certainly very unique. Wood In Kto'Ptlim StonrvrorU. Probably the oldest .timber In the world which has been subjected to the nso of mnii In tlmt found In the nnclent temples of Egypt In connection with the stonework , which Is known to be at leant 4,000 years old. This , the only wood used In the construction of the temples , is In the form of tics holding the end of one stone to another. When two blocks were laid In place , an cx- cavntlon about nn inch deep was made In each block , in which a tie shaped like nn hourglass Is driven. It is there fore very difficult to force any stone from its position. Expenne. A prince received from the house steward his monthly statement of ac counts , In which occurred the item of 1.50 lire for the keep of n cat in the palace. The prince immediately wrote in tbo margin , "If there arc no rats in the bouse , it Is no good keeping a cat ; if there arc any rats , the charge for the keep of the cut is superfluous. " And ho struck out the Item. A Snoce . "Mrs. Dllkins learned to play poker so she could keep her husband in at night. " "And does be stay in now ? " "I should say so. She wins so much of his spending allowance that ho hasn't the price of a drink. " Philadel phia Record. Prlma Facie Evidence. The late Lord Morris on ona occasion gave a characteristic illustration of the meaning of "prlmn facie evidence. " "If , " ho said to the Jury , "you saw a man coming out of a public house wiping his mouth , that would bo prlmn facie evidence that ho hnd been having a drink. " Out maneuvered. The Lady Did any one call while I was out ? The Maid No , ma'am. The Lady That's very strange. 1 wonder what people think I have n day "nt homo" for anyway. Indian- npolla News. PERSONAL.
