The Inter-Ocean says that the
thousands of acres of burning forests
in Michigan and Canada will per

We do not imagine that either
our farmers, or our wholesale mer
chants, who have read the Doane law
as finally passed will be imposed
upon by the silly bosh which is be
ing retailed by such railroad organs
as the Omaha Herald,Eepublican
tad Lincoln Journal and Globe. In
their endeavors to make the law
odious the corporations are likely to
make themselves still more odious
than (he law and to force such
sweeping legislation as will forever
take from their hands the power of

our people a law whose provsons
are manifestly fair reasonable and
iquitable. O. Bee.
'I'he President.
On Tuesday of last week the pres
ident was removed from the White
IIoum; at Washington to the Frank
ley cottage at Long Branch.
At 5 : '10 he was carried from the
pick room to the express wagou, re
clining on the bed on which he has
been languishing for so many dayR.
He appeared greatly emaciated, his
face careworn and thin. When his
party .reached the depot there were
2,000 persons had assembled to catch
a glimpse of the sufferer.
There was no mishap along the
entire route of travel, the road be
ing kept open, and the destination
being reached at 1:20 p. m. The
president pronounced it the most
interesting day since he was shot.
At 0:30 the evening bulletin was
issued, Bhowing the president's pulse
124, temperature 101.0, respira
tion IS.
Drs. Reyburn. Surgeon - General
Barnes, Dr. Woodward and Mrs.
Edson have beeu dismissed from the
case, at the request of the president.
The first day after arrival was
intensely hot at the cottage, but the
weather since has been much more
favorable, and the patient has been
reported as better in every import
ant respect
On the Sth the pulse had fallen
from 105 to 94, temperature 98.4, res
piration 17. His appetite was much
better, and he had relished -his food,
considerable of it being solid ; be-,
sides which his mind had dwelt
more on outside subjects than for
some time past. When given some
chicken he remarked to his wife
that he felt as if he could eat it all.
He was in good spirits.
Ou the 9th Secretary Blaine's tel
egram to Minister Lowell was as
follows:
"The medical reports were all fa
vorable to-day, at morning, noon
and night. The President has not
for many weeks done so well for so
many consecutive hours. He has
had very little fever; his ie6piration
has been normal and his pulse has
not exceeded 100. He has slept
without opiates and gained strength
without stimulant. His nights are
not so restful as could be desired,
but in twenty-four hours he gets
sufficient sleep. The vreather con
tinues sultr and oppressive. Much
is hoped from the clear, bracing air
here at this season."
List Saturday's dispatches indi
cate a favorable night for the presi
dent. His appetite was excellent
and no trouble of any sort with his
stomach or bowels. The coast hur
ricane had reached Norfolk, and its
forerunner seemed to have reached
Long Branch. The wind was fresh
from the southeast, and it had been
raining steadily since daylight. The
official bulletin issued at 9 a. in., by
Drs. Agnew and Bliss, reads:
"At the examination of the presi
dent at 8: 30 this morning the tem
perature was 99, pulse 104, respira
tion 18. He slept well during the
night, awakening only at intervals of
half an hour each. There is a per
ceptible increase of strength with an
improved condition of the digestive
apparatus. The tumefaction of the
parotid has entirely disappeared,
and the suppuration has greatly di
minished. The wound continues to
improve, and presents a more
healthy appearance."
Sep. 12th The president's con
dition is not so satisfactory. It is
feared that pus cavities are forming
or will form in the lungs and liver.
Re-nalon IVoteN.
Company D, Rummer Guards re
turned home Saturday, aud gave a
specimen of their drill before going
to their armory. Iu their new uni
forms they made a handsome ap
pearance. The rain Tuesday night, Wednes
day and Wednesday night interfered
Bomewhat with the full enjoyment
of the occasion. The other days
were splendid, and we heard no one
express regret at attendance.
About 5,000 vctcrauB were pres
ent. The pavilion in the center of the
camp held 4,000 and nightly camp
fireR were led by Paul Vandervoort
of Omaha.
Speeches were delivered by Mar
quett, Mandcrson, Carnahan, Ekin,
Clarksou, Mrs. Colby, Mrs. Bitteu
bcuder and others.
At the sham battle on Friday it is
estimated that there were 15,000
present.
At one time a pick-pocket who
was caught in camp came very near
ly losing his life by a squeeze in
the crowd.
It is thought that hereafter there
will be a disposition manifested to
hold these annual re-unions in or
near smaller cities than Lincoln, so
that metropolitan attractions will
not detract from the interest proper
of the camp, and thus demoralize
the array boys who attend for the
6ake of auld lang syne.
FORTY CATTLE KILLED,
And Several Persons Injured in a
Collision.
The passenger train on the Rock
Island railroad which arrived in
Council Bluffs Wednesday was about
seven hours late. The cause of the
delay was an accident which occurr
ed early yesterday morning near
Altoona, Iowa. The train was bowl
ing along at a lively rate, when sud
denly it met an obstruction in the
form of a caboose and several cars
filled with cattle. The cars and ca
boose had become detached from the
remainder of a freight train and had
commenced running backwards
down quite a heavy grade in the
track. The passenger train was
moving westward and the freight
care eastward. The force of the col
lision was terrific, the caboose being
run right up onto the engine. There
were thr.ee men and a boy in the
caboose fit the time, and they were
thrown violently some distance out
of the car, it being smashed all into
small pieces. One of the men wa?
badly injured about the head and
the boy's leg broken. The others
escaped with a severe shaking up.
No passengers were injured, altho'
the train left the track and was
pretty badly demoralized. The ca
boose and two cattle cars were com
pletely wrecked. Forty cattle iu
cars were killed outright. The little
boy had a most miraculous escape
from death. He was thrown from
the caboose down under the engine,
but happened to light in such a
position that he only suffered the
breaking of his leg. A special train
was made up at Des Moines, and the
passengers transferred to it. A tem
porary track was laid around the
wreck and the train proceeded on
its way. O. Bee, Sept. 9th.
Good Principles.
At the golden anniversary of the
wedding of Mr. and Mrs. William
Wheeler of Gleuwood, la., there
were two features we especially de
sired to notice. One was the short
address of Mr. Wheeler, counseling
his kins folk: "In all times and
under all circumstances be honest
and true, for there is no principle in
life that if followed will give more
satisfaction and promote the enjoy
ment of more happiness than the
practice of honesty, truth and virtue
among men, and nothing contributes
so much to the misery and unhappi
uess of the world as the lack of
virtue,, truth aud honesty. Be true
to yourselves aud to your fellow
men, and you will be richer in this
possession than with all the world
beside."
The other is a paragraph by the
editor of the Glenwood Journal in
which he says that "the rule is with
men who are successful iu life, that
the habit of getting gain so fastens
itself into their organizations that
they prefer to let their children make
their way in the world as best they
can, and after the death of the par
ents, to quarrel over a division of
the estate. Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler
preferred to make the division of
their property chiefly while their
children were at the proper age to
appreciate it and benefit them the
most serviug the boys and girls
alike as to patrimony, and offering
friendly advice as to its use."
Train Robbery.
On the night of Sept. 7th, the ex
press on the Chicago & Alton road
was stopped at Glcndale, a few
miles from Independence, Mo., aud
the express messenger and passen
gers were robbed by masked men
of money and valuables to the
amount of perhaps $15,000. The
dailies are filled with the usual de
tails in such cases, how there were
shots fired, revolvers pointed at
frightened women and no less scared
men, their money and valuables de
manded of them, how they were as
obedient as Iambs at the slaughter.
This gang seems not to have been
quite so gentlemanly as they usually
are; we notice that there was more
than the usual amount of profanity,
bluster, noise and rudeness. The
ladies were compelled to sit down
on the floor, and some had ear-rings
taken from their ears, and many lost
their jewelry. As usual in such
cases no one among the robbers was
hurt, but all made their escape. A
dispatch from Kansas City on the
9th says that Charles Fisk, a notori
ous character, was arrested and
brought to Independence that day ;
that Sam. Chapman had "squealed"
and implicated the whole gang in
cluding John and Bill Asbury and a
man named Scott. A young girl
waB in the gang dressed in men's
clothes.
Fearful Wrccl.
On the Short Line Railroad, sev
enteen miles out of Louisville, Ky.,
on the Sth, as the train, consisting of
an engine, baggage car and two pas
senger cars, approached Floyd's
Fork bridge, the engine struck a
cow, cut off her fore legs and was
thus derailed, the whole train falling
about thirty feet down from the
track to the bed of the creek. All
the train is a total wreck. Among
the killed were a stranger from Cal
ifornia; Mr. Perry, a bookkeeper at
Applegates, on Second street, Louis
ville ; Col. Fielding Neel, of Shelby
ville ; Capt. William Maddox, mar
shal of Shelby ville; Walter Scarce,
of Shelbyville; Thomas Buchanan,
of Louisville. There are supposed
to be two or three others under the
wreck. Among the seriously injur
ed are Alex. Alford, a lawyer at
1113 Fifth street, Louisville, and the
fireman on the engine, Gibson, Oth
ers are more or less hurt. But few
escaped without injury. Conductor
Petry, eugineer Honnaker and baggage-master
Humberton are hurt,
but not seriously.
Sunday last Dr. Thomas announc
ed to his congregation at Chicago
that he had been found guilty of
heresy and had been suspended
from the ministry ; he should abstain
from preaching until after the meet
ing of the Conference Oct. 3d, when
he would resume. It is said that
charges of heresy will be preferred
against Dr. Warren, Dr. Vincent,
Dr. Tippery, Dr. Wheadon, Dr. Rey
mond, and Dr. Fowler. It ib also
stated that Bishop Hurst could be
found heretical on eternal punish
ment and the atonement; Bishops
Fos and Merrill on the atonement,
and Bishop Foster on the resurrec
tion of the body.

Of courpe all, well-posted Demo
crats are morally certain that Re
publican State officials will bo
elected this fall ; which being the
case they feel a commendable inter
est iu the Republican nominations
to be made. All are deeply inter
ested in the make-up of our supreme
court as well as in those who shall
share iu the management of the state
university. We havo no doubt that
the Herald of Fremout, a Democrat
ic paper, speaks the sentiment of the
great body of the Democracy when
it says :
"We hope Judge Maxwell will be
placed iu nomination by the Repub
licans for supreme judge this fall,
for if we must have a Republican,
we can find no better man in the
state for the position."
Water WorkN.
The editor of the Fremont Herald,
who was lately at Grand Island,
gives this description of the water
works there, which seem to give
general satisfaction :
"They are run by the U. P. Co.
and the water is furnished by two
large steam pump3 aud through 500
feet of hose and 1 nozzle, will
throw a stream of water 125 feet in
the air, iu a curved line. After the
engines had been pumping for ten
consecutive hours the supply of
water had not perceptibly diminish
ed. For the ordinary supply of the
city the water i pumped into the
large R. R. waior tank and from this
flows into the mains, by which means
pressure enough is found for ordi
nary purposes. In case of fire the
engines pump directly into the
mains, making a powerful pressure.
Hydrants are located at convenient
places all over town."

Editor Journal: The harvest is
over, and most of wheat threshed
and hauled. The crop is say about
half as large iu this county as last
year; further south they have done
better than usual. In Tulare county
crop good, wheat in quality good';
there seems to be a scarcity of cars
to move it ; price is about $1 a bush
el at present, at Stockton freight
from here $1.45 a ton.
Building is going on quite steady
in most towns along the line of
road, and money seems to bo plenty
at 10 per cent, for all fair, safe trans
action5:. The season has been a cool one, as
far as weather is concerned. Fruit
is high for this country, except
oranges which have been low.
They are taking out snags and
building wing dams on the San Joa
quin river below Hills Ferry, to give
boats a chance to run all the year to
that poiut.
I am informed by a land owner
ou the island opposite here Rio Vista
on the Sacramento that the flood
did but little damage to tho orchards
last spring, and immense crops of
garden truck are raised. Three
steamboats are employed to carry
oiTfrnit, truck, chickens, etc.
Below Sacramento city a goodly
number of our ranchers have beeu
over to Monterey on the coast lately
to bathe aud cool ofl. They repoi t
too much "cool of" for them and are
rushing back in squads.
There is talk of a railroad from

Telegraphic Summary.
DuitUQUE, la., Sept. 7. Word has
been received here that Mrs. Allison
wife of Senator W. B. Allison had
attempted to drown herself on Sat
urday last, in Silver Lake, New
York, during temporary aberration
of the mind produced by illness.
She has been suffering from nervous
prostration for a year past and spent
most of tho winter and spring in
Philadelphia under medical treat
ment. During the summer she has
been at the water-cure in Castile, N.
Y., but had improved so much in
health that Senator Allison had re
turned to Dubuque, and her foster
mother, Mrs. Grimes, had also left.
On Saturday last she was suddenly
taken worse, and while suffering
from her illness walked four miles
to Silver Lake, aud deliberately en
tered the water with a determina-
tion to end her life. She was fortu
nately rescued and returned to her
hotel.
REVOLTING IN EGYPT.
Paris, Sept. 9. A dispatch from
Cairo says that a revolution is immi
nent in Egypt. Four thousand sol
diers, with thirty pieces of artillery,
surrounded the palace of the khe
dive, when the leaders demanded- the
dismissal of tho ministry. The
khedive acceded to their demands,
and tho ministry have been dismiss
ed. Owing to the news from Egypt
there is great excitement on the
Bourse this evening.
BEHEADED THEIR FATHER.
Danville, Va., Sept. 9. Two
daughters of Robert Williams, a
well educated and well connected
man, near Whitmill, cut off his head
with an axe and then fled. Wil
liams was addicted to driuk aud had
probably threatened them.
FIVE MURDERERS HANGED.
Little Rock, Sept. 9. Five mur
derers were hanged at Fort Smith
to-day, Brown, McGowan and Pad
gett and two Creek Indians, Abel
and Amos Mauley. Only forty or
fifty spectators were admitted. Pad
gett admitted the crime, but justified
it on the plea of defence. McGowen
made a similar statement, and said
he was ready to die, but hated to
leave his wife aud children. Brown
said his only regret was he accident
ally killed the wrong man. He didn't
havo a fair trial. The Manly boys,
through an interpreter, admitted the
crime and said they were ready to
die. The trap was sprung and all
died inside of fifteen minutes.
SORROWFUL SIGHTS.
Detroit, Sept. 9. Fires seem to
bo abating. A Port Austin dispatch
says the loss of lives on the top of
the burned peuinsula by Mouday
and Tuesday's fires is estimated at
from two to three hundred. The
following villages were burned:
Bad Axe, Verona, Forest Bay, Rich
mondville, Charleston, Anderson,
Dickersonville, Harrisonville and
Sandusky. The following were
partly burned : Port Hope, Minden
and Uubley. Tho country suffered
vastly more than the villages. Sag
inaw, Tuscola aud Lapeer counties,
one tier back from the lake are great
ly damaged, but not nearly as much
as the shore counties ; but in each of
these favored counties huudreds of
thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty have beeu destroyed. It is
hoped the rain has now stopped the
fires. Everything is now necessary
to help the destitute lumber, cloth
ing, provisions and seed grain. E.
C. Carlton, mayor, or Senator O. D.
Conger, of Port Huron, will receive
supplies.

Detroit, Sept. 9. The danger
from fires is about over. The lowest
estimate gives two huudred and fif
teen families burned out. Small
towus and poor people are the chief
sufferers, and they are utterly dazed
and unmanned. Sixty-five burials
are already reported in six towns
aud twenty-seven dead are said to
be unfouud in the country between
Bad Axe and Port Hope. Relief is
going forward rapidly, aud reports
came from all principal cities of aid
coming.
