I. P. Olive, of Plnm Creek, Neb.,
a well known ranchman, has recently
disappeared. No one knows what

Not much time to idle away on the
part of Republicaus in preparing for
the State Convention which convenes
In Omaha, Wednesday, September
20th. Platte county is entitled to six

best men in the county representing,
if possible, different localities and
neighborhoods in the county.
A correspondent from Lincoln to
the Omaha Republican, in speaking of
Mr. Dorsey, of Fremont, being a can
didate for Governor, says: "Dorsey
is getting quite a newspaper boom
throughout the State. Several papers
in the Republican Valley region have
declared for him, while in his own
neighborhood the feeling seems to be
very strong. The Nebraska City
Press is also out in his favor.
A dispatch was received the other
day from London, stating positively
that Archbishop Patrick A. Feehan,
of Chicago, would be appointed a
Cardinal at the next consistory. This
practical recognition by the head of
the church of the claims of Chicago
to recognition in the highest Catholic
body, created much stir among mem
bers of that faith, and on all sides ex
pressions of congratulation were
heard.
There is not so much time for Re
publicans to spend in talking about
who shall be their delegates to the
congressional convention from Platte
county, in the third district, to be
held at Fremont, Neb., on the 7th day
of September. Have your six dele
gates appointed in good time, and see
that they are honest and intelligent
men, and all good republicans of the
county will most cheerfully acquiesce
in their action in the convention. '

The bill which has passed the house
authorizing the issue of "postal notes,"
provides for the issue of notes for
sums less than $5, payable to the
bearer at the money order office
where issued, or at the office designa
ted by the person who procures them.
The need of some such device has
been felt keenly since the fractional
paper currency disappeared. It will
be useful to everybody in paying
bills due at a distance, or in sending
money by post for any purpose, as it
will avoid the annoyance of obtaining
a postoffice order. The house has also
approved a measure reducing fees on
money orders. This is a good thing.
The system is not now, in any sense,
an experiment, and its success would
perhaps justify a still greater reduc
tion. It is an interesting fact that two
million dollars have been paid for
money orders that have sever been
presented. Omaha Republican.
The North Carolina Methodist who
sang so loudlv ami discordantly iu
church as to atu.ny other worshipped
and was indicted as .a nui sauce, has
won his' cap. The language of the
court is: "The disturbance of a con
gregation by singing, when the singer
does not intend to disturb it, but is
conscientiously taking part in the re
ligious services, may be a subject tor
the discipline of his church, but not
indictable."
iT'ia well kuown that for several
years before his death Emerson's
memory was very untrustworthy.
But it was with a fine sense of humor
that he appreciated the little difficul
ties caused him by this weakness.
One day bis daughter saw him dil
igently searching for something, and
would haveaided him, but he could
not tell what he wanted. His treach
erous memory had let slip the name
of the article. At last he turued to
her with merry inspiration twinkling
in his eyes and said, "It is tho thing
that people take away." She at once
brought him his umbrella, and all was
right. Inter-Ocean.
Marshal McCoy aud a posse of
men found on the morning of the 28tb
olt., the decomposed body of Wm.
Aunt, of Omaha, two miles from
Snake creek, in the sand hilis. They
found upon his person $23, thus show
iug that be was not murdered for bis
money. They also found some prom
issory notes, with the following letter
written by biro.:
July, (no date), 1882.
I have been carried away one even
ing from Omaha, my home, and they
got me to place which I did not know.
I found out in the morning it was a
great territory. I had nothing to eat
or drink in five days. I cannot say
when I can get any. I say good bye
to you all, and hope you will do
well. Wm. Aust.
Mr. Aust was a well-to-do butcher
in Omaha, and left there three weeks
ago for the Black Hills, his object be
ing the collection of $1,600 or $1,700
due on meat shipped two years ago.
He was last heard from while alive on
the road from Sidney to LTadwood,
near Snake Creek Station, where be
jumped from the Btage, and disap
peared among the sand hills, where
he remained until be perished from
exposure and hunger. It is a very
sad occurrence.
The river and harbor bill was taken
up in the houe on the 2d, and the.
vote was immediately taken upon the
question, "shall the bill pass, the ob
jections of the president to the con
trary notwithstanding," and a yea and
nay vote ordered. The vote resolted,
yeas 121, nays 60. Our representa
tive, Mr. Valentiue, votiug for the
bill. In the Senate tho vote resulted
on the bill 41 yeas, nays, 16, Senator
Van Wyck voting nay. So the bill
passed over the objections. It is
rather hasty to predict what may be
the results politically of the passage
of the bill, but wo learn from our ex
changes that democrats were delight
ed with the result, and were on high
feather after the passage of the bill.
A few different articles combined
don't generally spoil the soup, but for
the democrats, republicans, green
backers and alliance men to mix up
their own principles with temperance,
probibitiou and woman suffrage in the
coming political contest in Nebraska,
will certainly spoil the political
"broth" for all of them. Political
issues should be few, and made dis
tinct and plain, and the unpopularity
of one issue generally considered to be
subordinate, should never be permit
ted to be used by any party to defeat
the popular issue which is dominant
and ought to prevail. We are not al
ways wise enough to see or compre
hend the final result of our actions, es
pecially when we become enthusiastic
on any one issue. It will be highly nec
essary for the members of the differ
ent political State conventions to keep
cool, and bring to bear upon their ac
tion all the judgment and wisdom
they possess In formulating the ques
tions at issues before the people.
Doubtless it will be possible to leave
every issue where it properly belongs,
aud where the voters desire it should
be.
The British military authorities in
Egypt incline to the opinion that
Arabi Pasha will not make an attack.
He is, however, strengthening his po
sition, and bis soldiers are working
like slaves on the intrenebments.
The English experience much trouble
in moving their heavy ordnance, by
the use of which they intend to dis
lodge Arabi, and gunners and guns
from the fleets are being sent to the
front. A terrible story of the atroci
ties at Tantab is related by an escaped
eye-witness. Omar Luffi has been ap
pointed Minister of War and Marine.
An officer who deserted from Arabi
says that, under the protection of a
flag of truce, the rebels are construct
ing fortifications near Aboukir, and
are also making formidable prepara
tions near Rosetta. A message-from
the Queen calling out the reserves was
read in the House of Commons. The
Cunard Company are bnsy preparing
shipping to transport troops to Egypt.
Turkey has decided to dispatch troops
to Egypt, and Dervisch Pasha will be
intrusted with the organization of the
expedition. An Italian journal antic
ipates future complications growing
out of Anglo-French intervention in
Egypt, and claims Italy acted wisely
iu refusing to be dragged into the
business. Inter-Ocean.
