A moderate computer of the num ber of men now idle in Chicago for the reason that they can find no work, pts the figureB at fully 20,000. The fated steamer Scioto was float ed the other evening, and will be taken to Wheeling. The costs of her repairs will amount to about $4,000. The M. E conference meets in Fre mont in September. The pension bill as parsed by the senate appropriates .$100,000,000. A Cixcinati dealer has boon fined $50 for selling adulterated milk.

Va., whose wife died last April, committed suicide the other day at her grave by serving the arteries iu his lelt arm. A recent report from Senator Hill makes him decidedly wore. He was compelled the other day to lake food through a tube. His death may occur at any moment. Ex-Governor Fletcher, of Mis souri has a pericct right to the ex pression of his opinion and he has done so b sclenting John A. Logan for the next president. E. M.

A man 45 years of age, evidently a. foreigner, ha-, been at Sioux City for several days recently, claiiniiiir to hail from Chicago. He pavs he is the ad vance agent of tho Redeemer, and failing to get a hall in which the Re deemer could lecture to the people on the sinfulness of their ways, he loft for Omaha. We have men within the borders of Nebraska who are intellectual giants and by the side of whom our present representatives are pigmies. AVhy uot call them to the front ? Why not send men there who will rank with Elmunds, Hoar, Logan, Harri son and others of like ability? Kearney Press. The Wahoo Independent advises Shedd, Whito and Reese, the respec tive Saunders county candidates for governor, treasurer aud attorney gen eral to come to some agreement among, themselves as to which ol the three shall have the solid home sup port, seeiug that but one from the county can secure a place on the state ticket. A terrific storm of wind, rain and hail was reported last week as sweep ing over the fertile and populous sec tion of the Black Hills known as the Spearfish and Redwater. It is stated that two thousand acres of magnifi cent grain, nearly ready for the har vest, were destroyed, and a section of country four miles wide and thirty miles long devastated. S. P. Clark, who was recently ar rested by custom officers at Detroit, gave information which led to the seizure at Chicago ot casimere and cloths valued at $2,700, which had been smuggled from Canada and sold to various men-hunts at Chicago. Portions of the goods were also found at Bufi'-ilo, Erie, Detroit, Cleveland, Cinncinuati aud Milwaukee. The true name of the man arrested from Ohio at Omaha the other day under the direction of detective J. T. Norrie, is Milo Robbius. Mr. Norri nilly identified him on his arrival as the man wanted. His victim wa a little girl onlyS years old, and he will be taken back by Norris to Spring field, Ohio, to face his crime, the pen alty for which is lite imprisonment. It is stated that a new horror has been added to the cigarette in Cali fornia. '"Leprosy" says a San Fran cisco physician, "is revealing itself about the lips and tongues of boys who smoke cigarettes made by the Chinese. The disease, though fatal, is slow iu giving tokens ot its first approaches." No less than 170 cases of infection by cigarette smoking had come under the physician's notice. Three masked men entered the hour-c of Chas. W. Key, a wealthy farmer living near Papillion, Neb., the other night and by threats forced from him his pocket-book which con tained only about thirty dollars. Another pocket book containing sev eral hundred dollars was iu the room, aud escaped the notice of the robbers. It will be sometime before Mr. Key recovers from the severe chokiug he received. Des Moives, Iowa, had two sensa tions last week in the way of elope ments. Dr. N. B. Hcartwcll, after a week's absence, returned to find his wife had eloped with Wm. Osborne, a friend of tho family. She took a little daughter ami household goods with them. Miss Dana Napier, daughter of Judge Napier, and Ed ward Norman also eloped. Both wo men have heretofore borne good repu tations and were noted for being quite demure. Both men were hard ware clerks. St. Paul, Neb., was visited the other day by a serious lire, which broke out at 3 a. m. in the rear ol the store building occupied by H. C. Metcalf. containing about $5,000 worth of goods, and being a building known as the Freeman block. No one kuows how the fire originated, but it is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. The names of the loosers arc W. M.' Freeman, M. D. Freeman, M. D. Abbey, II. C. Met calf, O. M. Knipple, James Barge, B. F. Bish and Dr. Cooper. The loss will reach $20,000 or $30,000. A long debate took place the other day iu the house over paying the ex penses attending the sickjiess and burial of President Garfield, during which the physicians received a se vere overhauling from Blackburn and Springer. The house refused, by a vote of 7S to S3, to concur in the sen ate amendment appropriating $57,000 for the payment of expenses. A bill was then introduced bv Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, to pay Mrs. Garfield 30.000, less the amount paid to her lato hus band on account ot salary, and which by unanimous consent passed. A statement comes from the Au burn (Neb.) Post, which we think may be implicitly Telicd upon as truthful that the writer in person vis ited the huge orchard of Mrs. Jane Loveless, near Auburn, which con tains 3,000 trees, a large majority of which are bending their heavily load ed bows toward the earth, and the fruit is scarcely halt matured. At a very moderate estimate they will pro duce an apple crop this year of not less than 15,000 bushels in this "bar ren wilderness of Nebraska." Mrs. Loveless has a neat little fortune in her apple crop alone, if she can dis pose of them successfully. To save shipment from eastern states.we doubt not if she will givo Nebraska dealers a chance to buy, that Bhe can sell every bushel in the home market, at good prices. The Egyptian War, Alexandria was guarded last week by fiye thousand marines, occupyiug seven tiiflercnt centers. Native po lice are organizing to aid military de tectives searching for suspicious per sons. There was an attempt one night last week to set fire to St Mark's building, headquarters of thi Americans in Alexandria. A leading editorial iu the London morning Post of a recent date says. The behavior of the American admi ral and his men at Alexandria is be yond all praise. It is refreshing to find a commander who is able and willing, on his own account, to say what he thinks and do what he says. Last week the troop ship at Ports month, England, was ordered to be in ieadine6s. She will take 2000 men to Egypt. The wounded natives have been paraded in Cairo, for the purpose of exciting animosity. The natives state that during the re treat of Arabi Pasha, one of the shells burst in the midst of a body of sol diers aud killed twenty-five Dragoon men. Arabi Pasha is still issuing orders and making appointments in the Khe dive's name. Arabi's forces on the canal are estimated at 10,000, includ ing the Bedouins, who gave adheslou to Arabi but a few days ago. The wounded Arabs from Alexandria were sent to Cairo. The British and French embassa dors, have been instructed to submit to the conference the question of pro tection ot the Suez canal, aud propose the execution of its decision shall be entrusted to certain powers. The news from Alexandria up to the 20th inst., says DeLesscps has in formed Seymour that passage of men-of-war through the Suez canal consti tutes a breach of its neutrality. The force of Arabi Pasha is increas ing. He is gaining his influence be cause of the delay of British troops. His scouts are seven miles from Alex andria. The porte sent imperative orders to Arabi Pashi not to make a movement. Arabi Pashi is trying to establish re lations with Arabs in Tripoli. The conference which met the other day was chiefly to consider temporary measures for the security of the Suez canal. Tho idea which found most favor was that protection of it should be entrusted to England and France in conjunction with a third power. It is stated that several regiments of militia have voluntered for service, and tho war office is considering the question of utilizing them for garri son duty at Malta and Gibraltar. DeLcsseps had arrived at Alexan dria aud had an interview witli Khe dive. Difficulty in restoring order continues. Lord Charles Baredfoot is taking every precaution against an outbreak. He has issued notice that he will make no distinction between Europeans and natives. Tho custom houc has reopened. The British were preparing to dam the Mahmondih canal in order to prevent the water running ofl if Arabi I stopped the supply. Arabi was ap parently beforehand with that aud had diverted the water from the canal. It was estimated there was sufficient fresh water in Alexandria to last ten days. Arabi's line extends from Lake Marctos to Abukair. Having got some tools he is now making works. We are iu trepidation about water. Enquiries are making about conden bers. Vessel supply is ordered here from Port Said. They will be able to supply water for the troops. One hundred of Arabi's soldiers deserted him the other day and came to Alexandria. The water was still flowing on the 20th in the fresh water canal, but exit from the canal into the sea is being blocked by a putty of marines, so that the water below the point whereat Arabi cut it will bo retained. Parties engaged in murdering dur ing the bombardment of the city,.will probably be shot by Egypt iau troops. It is probable that such executions will continue for some time, as every day brings similar cases. Alexandria. The Khedive has recently issued a mandate deposing Arabi Bey, aud proclaiming him a rebel. The recent fighting at the gates of Alexandria is isolated. No heavy fighting has taken place. Numbers of Arabi's troops have appeared, and the marines have had some skir mishes with them, but without 6erious casualties. The main body of Arabi's army continue in camp at Daman hour. Admiral Seymour's scouts last week brought him information that a largo body of troops belonging to Arabi's army is encamped twenty miles from the city. Hostile demon strations have already been made, aud an attack is apprehended. The remainder of Arabi's army are disaf fected. The latest news from an actual in spection of the city discloses the fact that one half of the European quarter of the city has been destroyed. Bunks were not burned nor pillaged, aud hospitals were untounched. A number of fresh fires were started in the city one day last week, but the military succeeded in extinguishing them before any serious damage was uoue. several ivraus wno were caught plundering houses were sen tenced to be publicly whipped, ai.d five men charged with murder were executed on Place Mohomct. Great distress prevails in the city, and star vation threatens houseless thousands. At a council of the French ministry held one evening last week it was de cided to join England in protection of the Suez canal. Under recent date it is stated that Admiral Seymour telegraphed to London that the Americans had lan ded marines and re-established the American consulate. The fires in Alexandria are subsid ing, having ucarly exhausted its food. CANDIDATES. For state offices are pretty numer ous, aud yet it is nearly two months to the convention which virtually elects. As to the persons who have been mentioned, there are. for gover nor, Dorsey of Dodge (the only can didate, so far, north of the Platte,) Senator Diusraore ot Clay, Dawes of Saline, Phillip's of Lancaster, Shedd of Saunders, Senator Tefft of Cas9, Senator Irwin of Pawnee, Alexander, present secretary "of state. We have none mentioned for Lieut. Gov. except Seuator Morse of Mer rick. For Sec. of state," Zediker of Frank lin, who says he is not a candidate for any office; Roggen of Lancaster, the present deputy. Jno. Wallichs the present auditor, Kendall, laud commissioner, and Jones, sunt, of schools, now serving their first terms, will probably be re nominated without opposition, as it has been customary to give good offi cers two terms. For state treasurer, Senator Burns of Dodge, Hilt of Butler, Fish of Fillmore, Tombliu of Furnas have have been spoken of. Whether there are any others ready to enter the lists we are not informed. For attorney geueral we see three names, M. B. Reese, our present dis trict attorney, of Saunders Co., A. M. Post of Platte, and Senator Pow ers of Dakota. G. A. Gregory, who goes to the Congrcgatioual College at Neligh as first assistant teacher, called upon us Wednesday last. Creslon Fiirmeni Alliance. July 14th, 1882. Met pursuant to adjournment. House called to order by Vice Presi dent. Minutes of previous meetiug read and accepted. The names of Jacob Barrett and E. A. Fulford were presented by the Executive Committee as applicants for membership. Offi cers of the alliance were elected as follows : Dr. John Scudder, President; N. Olson, Vice Presideut; John Anson, Treasurere: I. J. Nickols, Sec. Fi nance Committer S. J. Wheeler, S. Anson, G. W. Kiblcr. Executive Committee : C. Heitsman, F. W. An derman, S. Anderson. Report from N. Olson as delegate to the Co. Con vention also from G. W. Kibler. By motion, the action of the co. alliance iu regard to tho resolution, Resolved to bury all partizanship in the alliance be disapproved. By motion, the President of the co. convention was requested to call a co. convention as soon as practical for the purpose of reconsidering a stupid blunder made by the co. con vention July 1st, '82, in regard to the resolution, Resolved to bury all par tizanship in the alliance, adjourned till Aug. 11th, '82. I. J. Nickols, Sec. The Omaha Republican says "two thirds of the leading anti-monopolists north of the Platte are fellows who didn't get the post-offices." This declaration might lead to a right smart controversy. For most of the alliance never thought of getting a post-office. The National Woman Suffrage association will hold a session iu Omaha on the 26th of September '82. Represenatives are expected to be present. Among those who are com ing into the state to lecture on the amendment are Rev. O. Brown, Mrs. II. M. Gouger, Mrs. E. M. Saxon, Susan B. Anthony; Mrs. May W. Sewall, Miss R. G. Foster, Mrs. M. W. Campbell, Prof. Upton and W. M. Wooster. In the first week of October the American Woman Suffrage associa tion will also hold a session at Oma ha, at which time men and women of national fame will be present. Among others, Lucy Stone, J. W. Howe, Mary T. Eastman, Dr. Mary J. Thomas, K. B. Blackwell, J. P. Fuller, R. N. Hazard aud Rov. J. Snyder. We are informed by a good author ity that the politicians of Lincoln are already looking after the possibilities of a capitol appropriation at the next session of the legislature. Of course they are. When were they ever known to be without a large demaud on the state treasury ? Having now had big appropriations for the two wings they will naturally want a still larger one for the body, and their success has been so little interfered with heretofore that everybody will expect tho inevitable hereafter. The people of Lincoln, however, especially the business men, who have hereto fore (if reports are true) had to "come down" to the lobby, with their tens, hundreds and thousands of dollars, ought to demand a reduction of rates. The percentages have been too large. Many farmers have a hesitancy about selling their cream to the creameries, but they are, according to all reports, fast learning that it is about the correct thing to thu9 dis pose of their milk. It pays fully as well, if uot better, than to attempt to make' butter on a small scale, and it relieves the good housewife of a heap of hard work aud vexation of spirit. Some farmers have been experiment ing in this matter to determine satis factorily for themselves the best plan to pursue, and all accounts thus far coming under our notice have been in favor of selling the milk. Evi dence is not wantiug in those com munities where creameries have been long established to show that the farmer is largely benefited by them. It is demonstrated in hundreds of instances in our neighboring state of Iowa, where these institutions have long been in operation, and it will be shown just as conclusively iu this state in coming years. The creamery business in Nebraska is comparative ly in its infancy, but the Industry is rapidly coming to the front, and the time is uot far distant when produc ers, if they have any doubts about the most profitable channel through which to utilize their milk, will doubt no more. Let the work of establish ing creameries go on, and while they are sure to prove profitable to -the men who conduct them, they will likewise be good institutions for those upon whom tney reiy ior tne raw material. Omaha Republican. Jottlas from Upper Shell Creek. Small grain in this neighborhood looks splendid iu spite of the numer ous chintz bugs. They have thus far done no harm here, but apprehensions are felt in regard to the corn crop, that cereal being unusually behind hand this season. Mr. John Elliott from Omaha made a little visit to his. friends and neigh bors a- few days ago. He told of a man in Omaha, who, to obtain a loan of $1000 to go into business, mort gaged his property and then went into a gambling den and spent the $1000, and iu view of such facts, Mr. Editor, your correspondent is astonished that any man can blame the Journal for trying to explode the whole gambling concern in your city. One should think every father and mother, every wife at least should thank you for your decided stand in that respect. Mrs. Martin Bloedorn, an aged and hard-working lady, was suddenly taken so ill on Saturday last that they thought she would die. Dr. Meyer of your city was called, aud pro nounced it Typhoid feycr. Two new bridges near Platte Cen tre, and one near Mrs. William's (now Mrs. Davis) facilitate traveling in this neighborhood. July 20. Reporter. EookN Uke ItutiaeN. We learn that there is to be a con ference of the members of the Anti Monopolists and Farmers' Alliance, of this Congressional district, at Nor folk, August lGtli. This begins to look like business, and will make old political "Hacks" look sour. Neliyh Republican. Mr. EJacoIaVi Funeral. The funeral of Mrs, Lincoln took place on the morning of Jul' 19th, '82, in the presence of a very large at tendance. Her remains were deposi ted beside her husband. The services were brief, consisting of prayer by Revs. L. R. O. Post and T. A. Parker; sermon by Rev. J. A. Reid. The pall-bearers were Gov Cullom, Judge L II. Fresh, Gen. J. A. McCIermoud, Hon. J. C. Milton Hay, Col. John Williams, Hon. S. U. Jones, Hon. J. C. Conkling and Capt. J. L. Bradford. The time for holdiug conventions is rapidly approachiug. We trust that the claims of individual office-seekers from congressmen down, will not be the all-absorbing topic of thought. The party should control the office seeker and not the office-seeker the party. Let good, fair representative men be chosen for convention aud caucus and let them go untrammelled, so that they shall act on their own re sponsibility and according to the dic tates of the thinking and intelligent men of the party. No man is so de serving of contempt as the office-seeker who will resort to all the low, mean devices known in politics to the party on which he is a leech. Gazette-Journal.
