If Mr. Cleveland talks during the
campaign will ho nrgo the people to re
turn to the good old domocratio times
of MW-'IW ?
Those sea shore resortB mo having no
attraction to the people of a largo portion
tion of the middle west this summer.
.They have all the sensation of having
the sea at homo.
People who can remember book to
how anxiously they vratched the olonds
last July and August should compare it
to the anxiety with which they have
boon watching the olonds this July.
Lincoln firemen were compelled to
Wade waist-deep in water to put out a
'firo the other day. The elements have
"boon furnishing BOIUO very peculiar
conditions and situations during the
summer.
Missouri democrats were forced to re
main in session all night before they
would consent fb endorse the Kansas
Oity platform. What Is to bo expected
from other states when the faithful of
Missouri show suoh hesitancy ?
"Ex-President Cleveland has consented
to deliver a half-dozou political speeches
Vlnriug the campaign in Now York this
Jail. It is probable that if Mr. Bryan
Should go there during the campaign ho
will find that it is the enemy country
indeed.

'is more afraid of one American J. Pier-

A Sioux City man wna driven insane

"tiering if by "some" other unpleasant-
'ness" in the following , a democratic vio-
wtory at the polls can bo meant : " "With
corn at 90 cents , hogs at $ S and steers at

can stand a little surplus of rain and
some other unpleasantness besides. "
Herman , this state , appears to bo the
especial victim of the elements. But a
few years ago the town was laid low by
a disastrous cyclone and this summer it
has been the victim of a cloud burst and
Hood , which floated several houses from
their foundations and carried one dwell-
4ng so far that rescuers were compelled
to swim to it to give relief to its occu
pants.
The prohibitionists of Lincoln should
, be gratified that an abundance of water
Las.been thrust upon that wicked and
unwilling town at last. They made an
unsuccessful fight thig spring , but
nature asserted the supremacy of water
in a manner most effective , though
scarcely argumentative. Many of the
worst sufferers from the overdose of
water will lean the more strongly to the
% vine cup.
Some of the people of Nebraska Oity ,
have been kicking because the water
company has been furnishing them
with water diluted with mud and the
company comes back with the statement
that during the month of June 200,000 )
gallons of mud , or 30 car loads , had been
washed out of the water furnished the
people of that place. The 'people ' there ,
must bo mighty particular about what
itd
they drink. Suppose the company bed
allowed that 110 carloads of mud to
remain in the water ?
The Sixth district fnslonUts had

crats named and insisted upon M.
F , Harrington as the man and the pop-
wllHt as persistently maintained that ho
was not the logical candidate. The two
parties with but a single thought ( bfllco )
find it a mighty serious proposition to
have the two-hoartB-that-boat-as-ono
feeling , that IH so essential to patls-
factory fusion ,
Mr. Bryan should have an eye on
Senator Vest or the roorganhors will
get him , Ho has given it as his opinion
that a man may bo a good democrat and
yet not endorse the Kansas City plat
form that declares for free silver.
While ho is a biuiotalllst ho considers
that Mr Bryan is not justified in OB
tracking and declaring as traitors men
who fail to endorse the 10-to-l plank of
the domo'cratio coda of beliefs.
Four fatalities and eleven prostrations

olimata averts its superiority over all
others. Nebraska was delightfully cool
and pleasant yesterday while good
warm covers at night were not un
comfortable. For all around weather
Nebraska commends itself to No-
brnskaim. A little more hot would not
bo objectionable to the corn perhaps ,
but humanity has no complaints to
offer.
ONE COWSKIN.
An Innncc of Gcmmu Military
Thrift nml Hed Tiipclnm.
An Instance of military thrift nml of
n red tnno system which Is not pedullar
to Germany comes from the Prussian
war ofllco. In 1800 Uio guards -were
breakfasting hurriedly. They * had on
the previous day fought the bnttld of
Boor and had accomplished altogether
a nlno days' march. This was not the
era of 'canned meats , and to each regi
ment bad been allotted a certain nain
bcr of cattle which bad been killed ,
efclnned and cooked , but while1 th < * men
were still eating scouts came In with
tbo news that the AuBtrlans were near
at band.
The men got Into marching'order and
In a few minutes were In rapid ad
vance toward tbo enemy. The Grcna
dler" guards , conspicuous always for
tholr dispatch , hurried to such purpose
that they failed to secure tbo skin of
a cow which had been made over to
thorn for rations.
When tbo ofllclnl who was responsi
ble ( or the value of tbo hide came to
ask for it , it bad to bo reported mlso-
ing. Inquiries wore set on foot , ovl
dcnco was collected , and a voluminous
correspondence lasting fourteen or fif
teen months failed to account for the
skin.
There had been a cow. She bad beer
made over to the guards. She had a
hide. The hldo was government prop
crty , representing a sum llxed by otll-
clal tariff. The government must bo
credited with that sum. The hide was
not forthcoming. AVho should bo re
sponslblu for Its cnsh value ?
It wns at Insf decided that the colonel
of the regiment shoukl be held account
ale ) , ni\d \ a year'ami a half after the
conclusion of the seven weeks' wnr
ho wns requested by the wnr ofllco to :
remit the sum of 3 thnlcrs , the price
of one cowskin lost by the Grenadier
guards. When' tlie sifni was pnld , the
subject was at last : ofllcially dropped.
COSTLV ACCIDENTS.
A boat Tin Mine" ana a Lead Ulne'n
Botto'mleiB Pit.
Immense plans which seemed aboui
to bo completed , but have been brought
to disastrous failure nt the last mo
ment arc , frequent enough in the his-
"tory'of industry , 't
. Txradon 'Answers tells 'th'c story of a
Un rnlnoln England which might have
yielded a fortune but for a storm.
'WJth'tbo flndltog of a'new'veln , of ore
unnlnJjip'ut'4t9wJird ' the en a new leve
was driven out below the water ; then
It was found that the lode bent up
ward too 'near the sea. bottom for min
ing to bo eafely carried on. Undlsconr [
aged , tbo owner borrowed money , bull
a sea wall to cut off the water , erected
pumps and again went to work.
On the sixth day just as an enor
mous mass of rich ore was being tap
ped a gale came up , u ship was blown
upon tbo wall , which went to pieces a
once , and the sea drove tbo heavy
stones In upon the thin roof of the
mine. In a moment the workings wcro
hopelessly flooded , and the owner was
a ruined man.
A story equally trnglc is told of the
Speedwell lend mine in Derbyshire '
Believing that n rich vein of ore exist
cd in a nearby hill , the owner rlske <
bis entire capital to bore n tunnel 3XK (
feet long into the heart of the moun
tain. Suddenly the miners brok
through n wall of rock into a vast hid
den cavern , through which flowed n
stream of water.
They began to dump rock into th <
stream , nnd after 10,000 tons n brldg
began to rise out of the darkness , nnd
then their farther progress was stop
ped. Month after month they tolled
and at last , after -10,000 tons in nl
bad been cast into tbo cavern , thoj
gave it up.
That narrow rift is known to thl
day as the Bottomless Pit
Fortlflcntlons In the strict sense o
the word nro becoming antiquated
and their value In modern warfare Is
extremely doubtful.

dresi the Educators Convention Is
a Record-Breaker.
Minneapolis , July 11. But one day
remains of the National Educational
auBOclntton convention of 1902 , and In
all respects it has proved a record
bienkcr. 'Tho slzo of the crowds has
been unprecedented nnd the number
and quality of the attractions offered
has never in the history of the asso <
i elation hcen equalled. A score or
I
inoro of speakers have been heard at
ho general sessions and the depar'- '
mont meetings who have attained a
eputatlon which is national and in
oiuo Instances even world-wide.
Twenty thousand visitors from all
of the country have spent the
week In the city , either as delegates
o the convention or as mere visitors
availing themselves of the low rail
mul rates to see the great bread nnd
butter state. Many of these will re
main In the vicinity for some tlmo
n order to visit all the points of In
crest In the neighborhood of the
Twin Cities , and numerous small ex
curslons have been planned for their
enjoyment and education.

tack , but Is Repulsed.
Carbondale , 111. , July 11. Another
midnight attack baa been made at
Eldorado , Saline county , where , sev
crol days ago , a mob broke up the
colored normal nd Industrial schoo
and drove the teachers and students
away , and caused forty of the colored
citizens to flee , fearing tholr lives in
dancer. The last attack was mode
upon the home of the Rev. Peter A
Oreen , who has been the pastor of the
African Methotliat Episcopal Churc
here for over a year and whoso ropu
tatlon In the community is gooi
Heretofore he has boon considered a
peaceful , Inoffensive citizen. The
mob consisted of over twenty white
men , and on reaching his horn ?
atoned his house. The preacher re
turned the flro , and It is believed tha
nt least one man was Injured. When
the mob saw that the colored man
would not be frightened they dis
persed , warning him of death If h
persisted In remaining in the vicinity.
It is believed troops will be sent to
the scene.

Sherman Gravel.
Concerning which so much bos been
said , is a disintegrated mica granite. It
has been chemically prepared by the
great fires of nature in prehistoric days ,
BO as to gradually weld together with
all the { taxability of asphalt and the
durability of granite. This gravel is
quarried at Sherman , "Wyo. , on the
Union Pacific , and used on-the rend for
abllast. Travelers over the Union
Pacific therefore , escape the dust and
dirt which makes a trip over the lines
of its less fortunate rivals so annoying.
No dust , no dirt , no jarring , smooth
