Tmcmemoers of the Republican State Central Committee arc rcq uested to meet at the Paxton hotel, in the city of Omaha, on Thursday, June 28, 1883, at 7 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of fixing the date and place for holding a convention to nominate candidates for Judges of Su preme Court and Regent 9 of the Univer sity, and such other business as may properly come before it. G. W. E. Dorszy, Ch'm'n. Fktmont, June 9, 1883. The Lincoln well is said to bare cost $12,000 and to be no good. Some people in Omaha want to compel circusses to pay $500 license. George Reeve a B. & M. switch man was run over and killed at Lin coln. A recent report at Paris says the Annamites beheaded Father Bechet, a Catholic missionary. At Cleveland tho other" day, Pil grim, a trotter with no record, did half a milo in 1 .07. Thbee students of the Calvin Insti tute the other evening at Cleveland were drowned while bathing. Wm. C. Moore, who closed.hls bank at Victor N. Y., $130,000 in arrears, has been arrested at Atlantic, la. Mary Ferron, who was tried June 13th at Beatrice, on k charge of mur dering her huBband, was acquitted by the jury. The 6tar route jury returned a ver dict of "not guilty," though tho coun try, it is safe to say, will not believe in that opinion. One day last week a tornado struck Brush creek, Iowa. It blew one-third of the town away. Loss $30,000. No loss of life reported. The Quakers in Ireland have dis tributed in County Donegal 220 tons of seed potatoes, thus relieving the suffering of families in that county. Ox the 14th a cyclone and several water spouts passed through the. northern section of Arkansas, causing great damage to crops and property. The Beatrice Express is authority for saying that the railroad between Lincoln and Beatrice (U. P.) is to be completed within the next ninety days. The Germantown Telegraph rec ommends that agricultural fairs in clude competitive horseshoeing in their premium lists. A good sug gestion. Miss Dora Wiixits, of Placer county, a student iu the California School of Design, has been awarded an Avord gold medal for the best drawing. Geo. Frederick, proprietor of the Theater Comique at Kansas City, was killed the other night by John Bell, a reporter. Tho fatal quarrei was about a woman. At Patrick Court House, Virginia, Thursday of last week, Sheriff Donck ley and T- W. Waller, opponents in the recent election, fought a duel on horseback. Hastings people wish to haye the rumor contradicted that the supply of water at the Re-union will be short. The Journal says the rumor is abso lutely false. The regents of the University have tendered the chancellor's chair to Charles F. Adams, professor of his tory in Michigan University. Lin coln Journal. Senator Manperson will probably agree with the Fremont Herald that as a ready letter writer, Senator Van Wyck "is always original and interes ting." Omaha Herald. Mr. Merrick, the attorney for the government in the star-route cases, made an argument which occupied ten days in the delivery. It is be lieved to be the longest one on record. Miss Jennie Ace, a light-houee keeper's daughter on the English coast, has received from the Empress Augusta a gold brooch worth fifty guineas, in token of her brave rescue of a boat's crew. Miss Ella Wheeler was given a reception, nd a purse of $500 in gold, by the citizens of Milwaukee, Wis., on the occasion of the presentation to the public library of that city of her volume of "Poems of Passion". A German has in rented a safe that on its lock being tampered with, throwaopen its doors, seizes and drags and locks in the burglar, and hand cuffs and holds him in readiness to be conducted to the police court in the morning. Two aeronauts started from Bou logne the other day in a balloon. In attempting to cross the English chan nel the balloon rose 2,500 feet, then appeared to shift its course, and.wben last seen, was drifting in the direction of Brussels. The speech of Gen. Sherman at West Point, his last official address to the cadets, was full of humor and pathos. Uucle Billy's impromptu talks seldom fail to strike the right chords, and draw his hearers strongly toward him. In Rockford Co., Alabama, June 13th, a negro named Corbin entered the house of Benj. Corden and shot him, his wife and son. The daughter, aged 14, escaped and gave the alarm. The country was being searched for the murderer. Jordon Cqrbox, the Alabama negro who murdered a man and seriously wouniad his wife and son, for the purpose of committing a heinous crime upon the daughter, was taken from jail Thursday by a crowd of 500 and banged. A max named. Warren, believed to be the person who outraged and stab bed little Nettie Lyons at Sheboygan, Mich., Sanday week, was taken from jail Friday might and hanged.

They could tell us all their actions, and forms, but could not tell why. Ancient astronomers wrote about them, and made many correct and I useful discoveries, but having started on a wrong conclusion as a basis, they only looked, and wondered, and wrote, in the dark. When ancient astronomers, in view ing the heavens, discovered that the planetary orbits were shaped nearly into a circle by the attraction of the sun, and that they came a little nearer to the sun in their perihelion than in their aphelion, and that comets gen erally (not always) passed around the sun, too, they just classed them with the planets (unthinkingly) and assum ed that they too were, attracted by the sun. That is whore they threw away the key, and tried to account for their eccentric or strange actions and forms. The key to all their eccentricities is the very reverse of the popular con elusion, viz: comets inBtead of being attracted by suns, and planets, are re pelled by thorn. This basis I shall endeavor to es tablish by quotations from the writ ings of all astronomers as to their discoveries, but not as to their con clusions, for they have been misled, by their false key. Modern astronomers have taken it for granted that aucient aatronomers fully sifted the subject, aud yet they admit that nothing is known about comets or their natures. Dr. Gardner in his lectures on this subject says, "What a power of at traction the sun must exert on a comet, to recall it from the distance of 144,000,000 to its perihelion." Now, if comets are attracted so near to the sun, from so tremendous a dis tance, they would surely rush into it, and stop there, but actually rush away from him to regions unknown. This comet was repelled from an other solar or planetary system, to pass just around our sun. For what purpose? Ans. At certain periods of time, all or most of the planets in our system, and other systems, revolving in their orbits, get all on the same side of the sun, when they would with their united attractions all in the same di rection, too powerfully attract him so as to cause him to movo a little nearer in their direction, which would in crease his power over them, and their power over him, and they would eventually rush into each-other. Then a comet comes and passes between them and actually turns their attrac tions into repulsion, till they are again scattered in their orbits on all sides of him. J. T. Skipmore. Later reports from the storm of the 12th in Clay and Dickinson coun ties, Kansas, give harrowing details : ten houses blown down, thirty stables demolished; one small child killed, five people injured; the house ot Millard Ayers blown to atoms, Ayers and wife seriously bruised, the child blown some distance, but found, in jured, two hours afterward. At Chillicothe, Mo., houses and barns were unroofed and buildings moved from their foundation ; Dennis Wolfs kin's residence, five miles southeast of Chillicothe, was demolished. The family were carried through the air about five hundred feet and Mrs. Wolfskill badly cut. At Utica the Baptist brick church was demolished, and at Sumner City eleven buildings were destroyed; one thousand trees were uprooted and three-fourths the apple crop destroyed. Some senseless newspapers are be rating Frank Hatton because there ha6 been a post-office named with his name. Might about as.well swear at the shade of George Washington be cause so many children are named after him. If free-born American citizens want to name their post-office Hattdn or anything else, why should they not be permitted to do so? It is said that in one instance parties .wrote to the Department that they didn't care what the name of their.office was. so that it was peculiar. The Depart named it Peculiar, and.it ha9 remain ed so to this day. Col. C. S. Chase of Omaha, in his University address upon "The educa tion of woman," emphasized the fault of the education of to-daythat too little attention is paid to training students in the lino of their natural inclinations. He said that no fixed course should be prescribed for all minds and that all knowledge not useful was useless; that instructors should endeavor- to find out the char acteristics of a student and train him accordingly. At Kansas City, Friday, John Ray ser, while under the influence of liquor, killed his wife. He married her about a year ago. She afterwards left him and entered upon a life of shame. Failing to persuade her to return, he drew a revolver and shot her five times, the last ball entering her heart. After firing twice at other inmates of the bagnio and twice at an officer, but without effect, he was overpowered and arrested. At Uniontown, Penn., June 13th, James Nutt shot and killed Dukes, his father's -murderer. Dukes will be remembered as the man who, while engaged to Miss Lizzie Nutt, wrote infamous letters to her father, ques tioning her chastity. The father, upon Dukes's invitation, had gone to a hotel, Dec. 24th, to settle the affair quietly, when Dukes shot and killed him. Timothy Km.i.v rnnvi.A ...:.: pator in the Phoenix park murders, was hanged at Kiimainham jail at 8 o'clock the morning of the 9th of June. He was the fifth executed. A large crowd was outside the prison, but there was no disturbance. He died without making & statement. Ifeferauka 8y Sckel Ce- The sixteenth annual convention of the Nebraska Sunday School Associa tion assembled at the Opera House, Tuesday, June 12 lb, 1883. President I. P. Gage, in his usual happy manner, wbb on hand to open the meeting and to wisely conduct its affairs during the remainder of the sessions. Devotional meeting led by Rev. J. C. Lewis of Fremont. Mr. J. N. Taylor, of Columbus, gave the convention a hearty welcome in well chosen and inspiring words. The address of welcome was responded to on behalf of the convention by G. W. Woods, of York. The committee on enrollment con sisted of J. H. Stewart, H. R. Sbafer aud Miss Carpenter. W. B. Jacobs, of Chicago, was then introduced and spoke at length upon the words of Christ "If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me." Men in all ages have tried to elevate the human race by philosophy, precepts and various human contrivances, but were always baffled by the sinful na ture of fallen.humanity. The sword, the bayonet, fine temples, and grand parades have been used to draw men away from the vices common to hu manity, bnt all have failed, and the people have plodded on in darkness until Christ was lifted up and became the world's benefactor. If we wish to draw the people to-day from the sins of life, we must hold out to them the pure life and holy teachings of Christ JesuB. Fine organs, grand churches, largely paid choirs and all these things used so largely to-day will not save tho people. If these appliances are put in the place of Christ there will be failure, and the people will be left in the grossest darkness. Teach the Sabbath school children and the people Christ, and you will draw them. WEDNESDAY MORNING. CENTRAL TOP IC OUR WORK. Our Work In -organizing in Ne braska. A. Its.Necessity, Rev. P. C. John son, of Grand Island. B. Its Methods, state, district, county, etc., Rev. J. D. Stewart, Hastings. The reports of district and county officers were very encouraging and showed a marked advance' in the work during the year past. An auditing committee was ap pointed consisting of J. J. Kessler, T. L. Lovejoy and S. D. Fitchie. The following brethren were ap pointed as a nominating committee : G. W. Wood, J. "S. Allen, W. W. Chapman, J. W. Osborn and C. II . Frady. Brethren Gilbert, Stewart and Reed were appointed a committee to con vey tbo greetings of this convention to the Iowa and Indiana state conven tions which were in session at this time. WEDNESDAY, 2 P. M. ' Song service led by Alfred Osborn of Norfolk. The object of the Sunday school was discussed at length by Rev. G. W. Reed of Gibbon. The speaker thought that the object of the Sunday.school was hot only to save the children and grown 'people, but also to develop their moral nature and make them more successful ' in accomplishing the work of this life. W. B. Jacobs, of Chicago, next spoke on methods -of teaching or the teacher's work in school. A teacher's power is no greater than the standard of his daily life. If yon wish to train up children in the right way go that way yourself. A heart full of love for Jesus and a life full of Jesus will do wonders in the Sab bath school. Four essential things in teaching : 1. Arrest attention. 2. Inform the mind. 3. Awaken con science. 4. Interest the heart. The question box was quite an in teresting feature of the occasion, and possibly aided in solving mauy knot ty questions. WEPNE8DAY EVENING. Bible and song service led by Rev. J. W. Osborn, of Fremont. W. B. Jacobs used the closing.hour to address the convention on the fol lowing subject: Bible pictures bs God has drawn them in bis book. The address was a fine one and de livered with a great deal of energy.

A subscription was taken up to aid in carrying on the work of the asso ciation during the. coming- year; $467.50 was pledged by tbe-delegates. A thank offering of $16.55 was re ceived from the convention. The committee on resolutions re ported as follows, viz: Conscious as we are that intemper ance is the greatest foe to all our Christian interests, and as the trail of this serpent is across every path from the home door, to the door of death, therefore Resolved, That we as Christian Sun day school workers do pledge to be more earnest and faithful in onr efforts to have all who go out from under our influence pledged as total abstainers. liesolved, That We instruct our sec retary to invite the different denomi nations of the state to send delegates to our annual conventions, delegates to be appointed by the proper bodies to bring reports of Sabbath school work, including statistics, etc. Jtesolved, That if we as Sabbath school workers, would reach the highest success, we must not only teach the bible standard of Christian living, but must also endeavor with God's help to shun every appearance of evil, avoiding the use of intoxicat ing drinks and tobacco, and shunning the theatre, ball room and all other places of questionable amusement. Resolved, That our thanks be and are. hereby tendered to the railroad companies for their courtesies extend ed to members, of this convention, and to the good citizens of Columbus for their generous hospitality, to Bro. Jacobs for his able adaressci and in- struction in Sabbath school work, and to Prof. Osborn and those who have 60 ably led the singing for the convention. The above resolutions were unani mously adopted by the convention. Tho closing address was giveu by Rev. P. S. Hulbert, of Fremout. The convention throughout was a good one, well attended, and no doubt great good will result from it. The citizens of Columbus freely opened their homes to the delegates and Sabbath school workers and en tertained them in a royal manner. The convention adjourned to meet at Norfolk one year hence. A full report of the conyeution will be published in the Nebraska Sunday School Record, which will be issued in a few days. J. C. Lewis. The Indian War. ' The following repbri was received from Gen. Crook at military head quarters, San Francisco, from Silver Creek, Arizona : "I left here May 1st with 193 Apache scouts under Crawford, Chaffee's company of forty-two men and the Sixth cavalry, carrying rations for two months on mules. I followed the hostile Chirachuas. The roughness of the country is indescribable; A num ber of mules lost their footing by stepping from tho trail, fell down precipices and were killed. The stronghold of the Chirachuaa was in the very heart of the Sierra Madres Their position was finely watered, covered with a dense growth of tim ber and plenty of gras9. They had been camped near the bead of Bavespe river, occupying prominent elevated peaks, affording a fine lookout for miles, tendering surprise almost im possible, and making retreat secure through the rough adjacent canons. Captain. Crawford, with tho Iudian scouts early on the morning of May 15, surprised the village of Chata, the chief of which managed the recent raid into Arizona and New Mexico. The fight lasted all day. The village was wiped out. The damage done cannot bo estimated. A number of dead bodies were found, but the in describable roughness of the country prevented a count being made. The entire camp, with stock and every thing belonging, was captured. 1 learned from prisoners taken that tbo Chiricahuas were unanimous for peace, and bad already had two mes sengers try to reach ban Uarlos. Un the 17th they began to surrender. They said their people were much frightened by our sudden appearance in their fastness, and had scattered like quail. They asked me to remain until they, could gather all the bands together, When they would. go back to the reservation by terms of the treaty. My operations were timed to fight. I told the ChiricahuaB to gather up their women and children without delay. They said they could not get them to respond-to the signals, the fugitives fearing the signals might be made by our Apache scouts to entrap them. They told us they had & white boy, who was in the village surprised by the scouts. He had'run off with the squaws, who escaped, and who had not yet been heard from. -They assur ed me every one of the band should come in if I would remaiu a short time. The terms of tho treaty em barrassed me greatly, and being iu that rough region, with rations rap idly disappearing, there being between 300 and 400 Chirachuas to feed, I was compelled to return with the Chira chuas we found. Six Mexican cap tives, five women and one child, were taken by the Chirachuras early in May. They are now with the com mand. These women say they were captured near the Mexican Central railroad at a place called Carmen. They further state that when the Chirachuras discovered the Apache scouts were in the country they be came alarmed and abandoned 300 head of cattle they were driving away from points in Western Chihuahua. The cattle were afterwards picked up and driven off by a body of Mexicans. We marched back as rapidly as the condition of the stock and strength of the women and children would per mit. We found the country depopu lated for a distance of one hundred miles from the Apache stronghold. The Chirachuaa insist they have al ways lived in the Sierra Madres ; that even when the main body went on the reservation some remained behind in the mountains. There arc quite a number of captives who state they have never been on the reservation. I have strong hopes of being able to clear the mountain of the last of them. Of those now with us are Loco and Nana, so often reported killed, and the families of other prominent chiefs. We saw no Mexican troops, and after leaving Northeast Sonora did not see a Mexican other than captives. Have such assurances from the Indians that the white boy will be brought back alive that I am looking for him every moment and will inform you by courier. The residence' of Marsh W. Ken nard at Omaha was burglarized one night last week, the thief taking $80 in' money, a gold watch and chain valued at $250, besides other valua bles. No one was wakened. In view of this and other robberies aud bur glaries the Republican insists that it is about time a vigilance committee be organized to make a general round up and rid the city of all thieves and suspicious characters. Star route Miner still prosecutes his claim for the Niobrara stage route, which Senator Van Wyck disputes. It cannot be denied that the senator is making out a strong case. We want all the honest mail facilities that we can get in the north country, but Ne braska is not hankering after any more star route scandals. O. Bee. LEGAL NOTICE. " Patrick Hays, Pl'tff.) vs. - M.
