It seems that a member of the

give his real name to the court was
take up and fined for drunkenness
at Omaha last week. He was with

The State Fair at Omaha last week
was very largely attended, and the
receipts are said to be the largest of
any fair ever held in the State.
While the display of stock and farm
products of all kinds was not so
good as could be wished, and not
nearly so good as it might easily
have been made, yet it was sufficient
to convince any doubting strangers!
who might have been preen t that
Nebraska is among the front ranks
this year. Over nine thousaud dol
Jars were taken in at tho gate last
Thursday. It is, perhaps, well
enough that the uwouder" part of
the nroiected performances was a
failure more or less complete, be
cause too much attention is gener

too little on the substantiate.

Our good president iH dead. Hoi
mere words can litly express thee
grief of the Americau people ove
the grave of their second martyred
president; the heart of the nation
has been wholly with him 6ince the
assassin's bullet strnck him on the,
2d of last July, and nothing in all
the history of the country, except
the intense sorrow over the grave o
Abraham Lincoln, has so affected all
Perhaps, in all the qualities that
go to make the good as well as great
man, noneot our presidents equalled
him. but this is not the time and
place,if we had the space or ability,
to review his career.
The memory of his worth, of hieJ
patriotism, and of bis matchles
fcourago and patience during the
a a
seventy-nine long days of his suffer
ing, all, all will be treasured in the
hearts of the people so long as they
shall be capable of sympathy, or be
touched with patriotism.
Tlie LbnI Hour.
The dailies of Sunday give full
particulars of the unfavorable turn
taken by the late president's troubles
Saturday forenoon he was attacked
bv a chill lasting half an hour and
followeoby high fever and profuse!
perspiration. He rallied somewhat
in the afternoon and the pulse fell.
The temperature fell below the ua
tural degree, and artificial means
were used to keep up the temper
ature of the extremities. His tem
pcrature had never been so low be
fore at noon, as it was on Saturday.
says tue unicago Tribune Qfrom
which we condense this statement).
only once at any hour baa tho same
figure been reached, and that was on
Sunday, July 3d, when all supposed
him to be dying.
Light weeks previously he had
his first rigor or chill. The very
day before his condition had been
more comfortable than at any time
since he was shot. Suddenly, with
out warning, the rigor seized him
the pulse bounded up to 130, the
temperature went to 104, and respi
ration 26. The physicians knew the
cause to be pus, conhued some-
whe e, and searching ascertained
that a cavity had been formed below
the rib. The knife used by Dr.
Agnew opened the cavity aud gave!
instant relief. No doubt exists that
the rigor of Saturday morning was
caused by confined pus. Some of
the physicians were of the opinion
that many small abscesses existed in
the luugs, similar to those that ap
poared in the parotid gland. Since
leaving Washington the presideut
had coughed constantly and raised
the. mucus and the pus which gath
ered in the lung. But for twenty-
four hours previous to the rigor of
baturday he had not coughed so
much and raised less foreign matter.
This was regarded as a very unfa
vorable indication, aud, added to the
ueuiiiiateu connuiou oi me patient,
caused the greatest apprehension of
a fatal result.
From the Omaha Republican of
yesterday we condense the tele
grams concerning the last hours. A
chill on Monday morning lasted
about fifteen minutes. Another
chill at 1:30, pulse 140, and the
patleut growing weaker.
The presideut died at 10 :30, Beem
iugly from sheer exhaustion. "At
the president's bedside, holding his
poor emaciated hand and watching
with anguish unutterable the fast
vanishing sauds of life sat the faith
ful, devoted wife during the closing
hours of the presidents career.
Arouud him were other weeping
friends and the physicians lament
ing their powerlessness iu the pres
ence of the dark augel of death. To
wards the last the mind of the suff
erer waudered. lie was once more
back at Mentor, amid those scenes
where the happiest hours of his life
were spent. He sat in the dear old
homestead again, with the loved
ones around him, his aged mother,
so fond of her big boy, his faithful
wife and beloved children. It was
a biis9tui dream mat robbed deatn
of its terrors, and rendered the dy
ing man for the moment uncon
scious of the cruel rending of his
once vigorous frame that was con
Uaiitly going on. Tho moan of the
restlesd ocean mingled with the sob&l
of loved ones as the lamp of life
flickered and went out forever,
Nearly every one around the presi
dent clnng to hope to the last, and
refused to believe approach of death
until the shadow deepened and the
Destroyer's presence could bo no
longer unfelt.
The David City Republican gives
four planks of a platform built by
Mr. Boans of Butler county, who is
a staunch republican, one of which,
on the transportation question con
tains, in very brief terms, a world of
ood common sense and common
honesty "That wholesome, but not
oppressive railroad legislation, com
prehending a gradual reduction of
passenger and freight tariffs, that
will result in mutual benefit to the
railroads and the people, by devel
oping aud advancing the interests of
the producer and the carrier at the
same time, thus avoiding a bitten
and expensive fight, is what weB
need."

Superintendent oi School.
A very estimable man and oue
who, irrespective of party predi
lections, takes an activeintcrcst in
public matters, makes suggestion
that the Journal call the attention
of those who are mauaging the par
ty machinery on both sides to the
fact that Platte county should have
candidates for County Superinten
dent of SchoolB who shall be above
reproach in any sense as intelligent
gentlemen: men. of learning, not
only, but men of Btrict integrity aud
of exemplary conduct, fit conncel
lora for our teachers, and guides for
the youth who are in attendance on
lour schools, and who are apt to copy
the manners and habits of those
placed in authority over them.
The Journal has always consid
ered the formation of character as
above every other work, and in
which nothing that bears upon it,
however trivial it may seem, is to
be lightly regarded. How often has
it happened with the maid or lad of
feeble will and limited knowledge
that au unclean word or leer has led
them toward perdition, deep and
dark ! How many a youth has gone
astray through the influence and ex
ample of companions older than
themselves in years and badness!
How true it is that the best days
of life are often spent in "unlearn
ing what was learned amiss" in
correcting the mistakes of early or
later youth! This would not be so
deplorable if it ended with the in
dividual, which it does not, but is
entailed upon posterity, who must
either suffer an untimely death, or,
through enforced warfare against
inherited evil inclinations bring
their constitutions back into line
with nature's just and inexorable
laws. The formation of character
is of such infinite importance that
no incident bearing thereon should
be disregarded. Of what benefit
will your life upon this earth have
been, exceptiug you have iu some
way bettered your own condition
md that of those within your in
fluence? See to it, then, so far as in your
power, that the educational inter
ests of Platte county for the next
two years, are intrusted to a good
man and a scholar.
Conjectures of the Weather.
There is so much apparent uncer
tainty to the ordinary man concern
ing the weather that is to be, that
conjectures as to its state are looked
upon with indifference. It is not
so, however, with politicians and
representative delegates, entrusted
with the function of determining
who shall bear the standards of their
party through the hard-fought bat
tles of a political campaign. To men
who push their way up the Mouut
of Vision, through tho mists and
clouds of personal friendships, into
the clearer atmosphere above, and
look out upon the "battle in the air"
that is less or more plainly visible,
the ordinarily unseen forces show
themselves in their due proportions,
and the penetrating eye can discern
with more or less accuracy the
spirits that will probably materialize
in the nominating convention. Po
litical action is uearly always rela
tive. Movements, like numbers, are
only large or small when compared
with others, and political parties are
very apt to be thinking of what the
"opposition" may do, before they
make their own movements. A re
publican who has beeti upon the
mountain before alluded to, and who
thinks, or imagines that he thinks
he has seen a thing or two, gives us
the following as a probable, at least
possible, ticket for the democracy of
this county: Treasurer, John Stauf
fer; Clerk, J. G. Higgins; Sheriff,
Dan. Kavanaugh; Co. Judge, J. J.
Sullivan ; Co. Commissioner, Jacob
Ernst; Sup't of Public Instruction
Ed. Newman ; Surveyor, R. L. Roa
ster; Coroner, A. Ileintz.
The Jouk.val professes no more
accuracy in forecasting tho political
skies than other skies, but as our
mountain -climber insists that his
vision was clear, we give, what we
would call his conjectures, to the
public for what they may seom to
he worth.
Sekious apprehensions are already
beginning to be felt and uttered in
various portions of the east suffering
from drought, of hardships to be
endured the coming winter by those
who have failed to raise thoir usual
crops of grain, vegetables and fruit.
Tho prices for breadstuff's and pro
vender are high, and looking still
higher, and of necessity the feed for
both human and brute mouths must
necessarily be stiuted in many places.
Those whose supply is short of a
very reasonable demaud for the
Eommon necessities of life, will be
ompelled to draw upon accumulat
ed resources either of their own or
others and thus close economy will
be the lesson of life the coming year
in the suffering regionp.
The press of Nebraska has done
more for the state then all other in
terests combined, and yet the un
grateful legislature haB shorn the
press of the young state of all pat
ronage enjoyed by papers in other
6ta(es. In fact, the Nebraska legis
lature has signalized itself in this
matter as a viper, biting the breast
that took its chilled body to warm
into life and health. The press of
Nebraska should unite in one grand
volly of contempt-fot.the life-throt-
tline tribe which congregates at Lin
coln biennially lo gabble at so much
dav and skin their best friends.
Hang such a legislature on the wall.

therefore, upon their big hay stacks

In the east corner of the elevator the
storm washed in boulders aud gravel
until there is about fifty feet square
of dry beach inside the cribs, where

WHAT HAS BEEN LEA1SNEO ISEOAUD
ING THE TKAIV'KOIMSEUS.
Chicago, Sept. 17. A. S. Trude
who went from here -s the special
counsel of the Chicago & Alton rail
road, in ferreting out the facts re
garding the recent train robbery,
states that his trip was brought
about by a visit to the headquarters
of the C. & A. in this city of a middle-aged
woman who, ten days ago,
gave the company some valuable
pointers tending to the apprehen
sion ot the outlaws. She revealed
the tact that certain dark and mys
tcrioun conferences had been held iu
the house of Si Chapman, near the
scene of the robbery, and gave the
names of the participants. A3 a
result of her talk and subsequent
investigation Trude believes the
robbery was planned by a man nam
ed Clark, an expert professional
train robber, formerly associated
with the notorious "Hoosior Bill,"
and the Reno gang. Clark Is osten
sibly a cattle dealer in Missouri.
Frude thinks his assistants were
hoodIums; green at the business, who
believed their leader was Jesse
James. The day following the rob
bery Clark lost a largo sum of mon
ey in KausaB City keno dives and
raised more by sprouting jewelry.
The woman had been ruined and de
serted by two of the outlaws, and
has long been waiting for revenge.
The gang were informed of her mis
sion so early that some of them
escaped, but more important arrests
are expected. In this connection an
officer of the Chicago & Alton re
cently stated that the road has serv
ed notice on the Missouri authori
ties that they will be held responsi
ble for damages, precisely as the
authorities of Pittsburg were in 1870.
The grand jury iguored tho bill
of indictment against Jefferson
Hays, the man who ran off with the
wife of Chas. Fauvcr, aud was

jury. He was charged with adul
tery, and by the statutes of the state
a single man cannot commit adul
tery. Central City Courier.
