saesawesacis XJ c 4 l! li! m THE JOURNAL. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 18S3. It is nine years since Charlie Uosb was loBt. Gen. E. O. C. Ord died of yellow fever at Vera Cruz. Fremont is moving for a pork packing establishment. It is believed that Capt. "Webb perished in a whirlpool. Minneapolis, Minn., is the place selected for the next re-union. Blaine's book "Twenty years in Congress" is announced to appear in October. Twenty-five buildings in Virginia City, Nev., were destroyed by fire the other day. Two hundred and sixty-eight deaths from cholera were reported in Egypt Thursday last. Vermont papers say that bearsjare unusually plentiful in tha mountains of Bennington. The President has appointed John G. McCnllum of San Francisco agent of the Mission Indians. It is stated that one season's bear ing of an apple tree at Fauquier, Va., has made a forty-gallon barrel of bran dy. Four thousand strikers resumed work on the Oregon Branch of the Central Pacific Railway one day last week. The republican state central com mittee of Iowa expects to get Blaine to make several speeches in the state this fall. The line of the St. Paul, Minneapo lis and Manitoba from Grand Forks to Devil's Lake has been completed and opened for bnsinesB. The cholera is reported to be spreading throughout Egypt. The anltary commission have rejected the proposal to isolate Alexandria. The democratic situation in Penn sylvania is described by an exchange : "Without hope, as to leaders, without enthusiasm as to the followers." Leslie "Waldsmith, of the firm of Waldsmith & Son, of Nebraska City, had both legs cut off by the cars at Creston the other night, and has since died. A news item from London says orders have been received at Alder shot to prepare four batteries of field artillery for active service. Destina tion not known. The army worm has appeared west of Austin, Texas, on the railroad to San Antonio, and is doing much harm; its early appearance canees fear of great damage. A telegram has been received from Campbell, United States consul at Monterey, dated at Laredo, Texas, confirming the report of the asBauIt upon Shaw, while acting as consul at Monterey. The Butler Co. JPress makes the un challenged remark that "the most unanimous strike in the country is that of the people of Nebraska against the Capitol job," meaning, of course, tbo last one. The dead bodyof Capt. "Webb was found floating below the Niagara whirlpool. The body was ragged, and a cut on the head about three inches long opened enongh to ex pose the skull. The remarkable time of Johnson, the pacer, who won the pacing race the other day at Chicago, waB 2 :13. The other races were won by Direc tor and Catchfly, favorites in the races for which they started. A farm house in Prince George's Connty, Va., was struck by lightning one day last week, instantly killing Wm. Willet and Mrs. Lizzie "Washing ton. William Washington was6o bad ly shocked, it is believed he cannot recover. At a game of ball tennis recently in Bedford, England, an army officer named DeVere, without warning drew a revolver and shot dead Miss McKay, a handsome lady of 20, and then shot and killed himself. Motive, jealousy. "rof. Aughey has got into some trouble by a friend, whom he claims was in debt to him, forging the names of prominent citizens to notes of Mr. Aughey's. There seems to be some thing very mysterious about this friend of the professor's. At a recent meeting of the 6tate central republican committee John F. Dezendorf was elected chairman in place of J. Cochrane who resigned. A resolution passed declaring James G. Blaine the choice of the republi cans of Virginia for president. The news from Paris says that the relations of France with England are passing through a crisis, and that the settlement by England of the Suez canal question by a policy of spolia tion would be to strike a blow at the heart of France, which would never be forgiven. We learn that thirty-ono prominent citizens of Washington City will soon present Lieut. Gen. P. H. Sheridan with a residence in Washington in anticipation of his assuming command of the army of the United States next fall, when Gon. Sherman will retire from the army. The President has designated Z. B. Vance, son of Senator Vance, of North Carolina, Cbas. D. Clay, of Kentucky, grandson of Henry Clay, and J. H. Dovoe, of Pennsylvania, to appear before the board at Fortress Monroe, the first of October for examination for second lieutenants in the army. The granite 6haft which is to.mark the spot where Custer and his troop of the Seventh United Slates Cavalry were massacred has been shipped to Montana. The monument consists of a cube of Montello granite four and a half by five and a half feet, resting on a base of the same material. It Is in scribed with tbe names of the slain. A Terrific Earthquake. The Omaha Bee of Monday brought details of the fearful Iosb of life and property by an earthquake Saturday night last. Wo gitre tho particulars in a very brief way. The shocks be gan at about half past nine o'clock, at Cassimicola, near Naples; nearly all the houses in town collapsed. It is estimated 3,000 persons were killed and 800 injured. Hotel Piccola Sen tinella sank into tbo earth and burned, with many of its inmates. The center of the area of tho shock was the same as that 9 years ago, but the radius wider. Tbe ground opened in many places, while in others there waB no movement. Water gushed out of openings. At Loia there were many dead and wounded. At Forio the churches were ruined, but no one killed. At Terrena, 15 killed. The stories told by survivors aro horrible. Many Romans having villas at Ischia are known to have been lost. The dead are fearfully mutilated. In some cases the corpses are plainly discerua ble through the ruins, but they cannot bo extricated. It is surmised some persons are still alive in the cellars. A correspondent telegraphs this af ternoon that judging from reports already at hand, the calamity will in finitely exceed Chica's earthquake in 1881. The syndic of Cassimicola tel egraphs as follows : The shock came with irresistible violence and was ac companied by deafening noise. The confusion in the theatre was fearful. The lights were overthrown and set fire to the building. A dense cloud of dust filled the air. Cries of pain and terror were heard on all sides. On hearing the shouts of "To the sea," a general rush was made toward the shore. Every boat and floating thing was taken by assault. A Naples correspondent writes that he had just returned from Ischia, and says that Cassimicola, Lacco and Fo rio have been destroyed. Tbe impression produced by the disaster is indescribable. Prospective. If tbe democracy of this nation have made themselves believe that the dis cordant elements of their opponents will give them an easy victory next year, they seem destiued to be unde ceived, soon or later. It will not be so, judging from present appearances, and from the general characteristics of the republican party. The ancient enemy of the republi can party left too black a national record, before the reins of power wore snatched from its hands, to in duce republicans to so far forget them selves as to wish to re-instate the democracy. Whatever differences republicans may have among them selves (and those differences are marked and vital), all are agreed that the one great virtue since the close of the Rebellion is, to keep the democ racy out of full power in national affairs, and the necessity of doing this is felt as much now as during the campaign of 1880. The indications are that differences will be allowed to remain silent in the presence of an unchanged solid south, and an unchanged democracy, dominated by the Tilden wing. The republicans of Iowa, of Ohio, of Pennsylvania have 6et a pretty good example of harmony to their brethren elsewhere, and if this spirit grows and blooms in the nomination of a presidential ticket expressing the conscience, the intelligence and the progressive purposes of the party, then will the fruit be peace, national honor, and a hopeful future. Tbe Capitol. The Schuyler Sun has some straight words for the Board of Public Lands and Buildings, and the letting of the capitol contract: " 'After due deliberation,' tbe board swindled the state of Nebraska ont of $41,000. It might be interesting to know what the board would have done had it acted without delibera tion. We cannot discern the object in stating so explicitly that due de liberation was used; a villainy is certainly no less reprehensible be cause it is a deliberate villainy. But in any event, the tax payers of Ne braska are to be congratulated they have suffered a loss of $41,000 and they have reason to be thankful that it is no more. Had Mr. Stout seen proper to bid $478,000, the loss would nave been twice what it is, and had his bid been $519,000 the loss would have been quadrupled, and so on in definitely. We are not certain but what Mr. Stout has done a very grace ful thing in not taking more than he did. He had all the opportunities for a large margin ; it was simply a ques tion of how the figures should be arranged, and when he permitted them to read $439,000 instead of $934, 000 the state was saved a difference of $495,000. There is nothing exagger ated or overdrawn about this ; a board composed of men who will deliber ately swindle the state out of $41,000, would only require a little more de liberation to perpetrate a much larger swindle." Taeti. A. R. Resales. First day a grand success. Weather perfect. Thirty thousand people vis ited the camp. The procession through the principal streets of Den ver was 7,000. A careful estimate placed tbe total number of visitors in Denver at 40,000. The streets, busi ness houses and many private resi dences were profusely decorated with flags, banners, festoons and pictures. Addresses were made by Judge Syms, presiding officer, Gov. Grant, on be half of the stale, the response by Com mander Van Der Voort, John L. Routt, in behalf of Denver, responded to by J. D. B. Adams of Massachu setts. Gen. E. K. Stin6on made an address of welcome in behalf of the Department of Colorado. During the entire program Logan had been fre quently called and at the close delivered a short and eloquent speech. The Denver Republican remarks that, naturally Logan waB the hero of the day. The week was passed in meet ings of various kinds and in attend ance on the Exposition. Among tbe incidents of the week was the organ ization of a National Auxiliary to the G. A. B. for the benefit of the ladies. A terrible accident occurred on the evening of the 27th ult. at Carlton station, N. Y., by which nineteen were killed and thirty wounded. The train was an excursion train, behind time, and running 40 miles an hour. The wind was blowing a gale, and had blown a freight car on the side, partly on tbe main track. When the excursion train came along, the engi neer seeing the obstruction, put on tbe air brakes, reversed tho lever of his engine, stood heroically at his post and was fatally injured. The fireman was instantly killed. The baggage car and two sleepers were entirely demolished. The cars were piled or each other in a heap of ruinB, The cries and shrieks of the wounded are described as terrible. The crash was heard three miles away. The Bee is authority for saying that a well posted man afllrma the re cent wholesale discarge of conductors due to the great falling off of business to the U. P., from the completion of the B. & M. to Denver, and to the Southern Pacific the discharge being a dodge to satisfy Dillon and others in New York. It is intimated that there is trouble brewing at the New York office for other than conductors. Is it possible that the infection of "knocking down" reaches up towards the head? Will railroading become so corrupt that the government, as a matter of public necessity, will be compelled to take charge of the business? A correspondent writing from Cairo, Egypt, Bays that the condition of affairs there is pitiable in the ex extreme. That men lay dead in the streets is literally true. They lie, half a dozen at a time, in the carts which are allowed to stand in the streets while the drivers dicker with the friends of the dead man in the next house as to the price of carting the body away. The streets of Ghizah are deserted, and of its 15,000 popula tion not 1,000 remain. Bnrials are only pretense. Shallow trenches are dug in the sand and tbe dead piled so close to the surface that the first gust of wind exposes the putrid remains. The Grand Island Independent has a pretty good platform, "Injustice to tbe railroads is an injury to the peo ple ; injustice to the people is an injury to the railroads," but we have noticed that as a general rule the railroads in Nebraska have had everything about their own way heretofore. We have no doubt the reaction is about to show itself, and if the people should try to get even, there would be some fearful shrieking. The general feeling, however, is not for retributive justice, but for fair dealing in the future. The republican party, if it expects to retain its supremacy in this state, must demand through its delegates, at tbe coming state convention a full and explicit explanation from the Land Commissioner, Kendall, why the con tract to build tho remaining portion of the capitol building was not let to Mr. Silver, instead of putting nearly $50,000 in Stout's pocket. The party must have a satisfactory explanation, or demand that Kendall step down and out and the contract be annulled. Burtonian. The colored people of Texas held a state convention the other day at Austin. They declared that tbe white race in the south have continually in creased in friendliness, and advising the colored people to keep a sharp eye on their teachers and preachers, and to remove at once those found incompetent or immoral. They clos ed their address proclaiming alle giance to the republican party. Saturday morniug at 6:30 a fire broke ont in Leighton's wholesale drug store in Lincoln, in the block opposite the Commercial Hotel. The flames spread to adjoining buildings occupied by F. E. Newton, hardware ; I. M. Forbes, livery; a jewelry store and Several small buildings adjacent. Total loss estimated at $150,000. In surance about half. Although yellow fever has ap peared and a large number of deaths reported at Vera Cruz, Mexico, in May, June and July, yet it is claimed that no case of yellow fever has yet appeared on the shores of the United States. It is belioved that with prop er precaution taken its ingress will be prevented beyond quarantine limits. The Philadelphia Press is advocat ing the adoption of knee-breeches for letter-carriers as an entering wedge to their general adoption by the male population. We cannot say that we admire the style of knee-breeches, and yet we have to admit that we cannot answer the argument that for grace, convenience, comfort and econ omy they excel other styles. Some of our exchanges ridicule the idea of building a double track nar-row-guage railroad from New York to San Francisco and from Chicago to New Orleans, to be called the Peo ples' railway. They pronounce it the most nonsensical scheme they have heard of in many a day, and say it is so wild that it is a wonder the Asso ciated Press would notice it. THE SUNDAY LAW I KAN SAS CITY. Kansas Crrr, July 22. To-day not only was the Downing high license law enforced in this city to the very letter, but the old Sunday law as well, and every branch of business from a clothing house to a peanut stand was closed. Barber shops, cigar stores, lemonade and news stands and drug stores were closed ; at tho last named, however, prescriptions by regular doctors were filled, but noth ing save by such orders was sold. The daily papers were not on sale at the usual places, while from one end of the city to the other it was impos sible to buy either a glass of whisky, a cigar or a glass of soda-water. Across the 6tate line in Kansas, how- ever. & different state of affairs exist ed, snowing the difference between 1 prohibition and high license. As is well known an imaginary line divides Kansas City, Mo., from Kansas City, Kan., in the western part of tbe city. State Line street, it is called. To-day, by just crossing tbe center line of this street, which runs through a closely populated district, liquor of all kinds was to be had on Kansas soil. Thou sands of thirsty Missourians availed themselves of this fact, and stepping across tbe line, first took a drink and then stepped back. It was a novel sight, but there was no way for the officers of Missouri to stop it. But two arrests were made in the city during tho entire day, and it was the most orderly Sunday Kansas City has ever experienced. The Sioax Iadlaa Tent the Ea daraace of their Noble firaveu. A Rosebud Agency, Dakota, special says the annual snn dance of the Sioux Indians occurred July 25th, afternoon, at the camp near that agency. About one thousand savages were present from all parts of the reservation, and a number of white visitors. Fifteen warriors entered for the dance, having fasted four days before entering upon it. The bodies of all these were frightfully lacerated, according to tbe usual custom of the tribe in testing the game qualities of the participants. It is probable that this is the last time the sun dauce will be permitted, as a strong effort will be made to have the government interfere. A Shockiaa Casaalty. Wheeling, W. Va., July 23. A horrible accident occurred near Web ster, Taylor county, this morning. A farmer named Wm. Carson was driv ing a mowing machine and holding in his arms a child of three years, when the horses became frightened and threw the boy from the father's arms in front of the cutter-bar. The father jumped to 6ave the child and fell. The machine ran over both. The boy was cut to death, and the father hor ribly mangled and fatally injured. The machine was broken to pieces, and one horse killed. It is feared that the wife of the young farmer will die from the effects of tbe sudden shock. Commissioner's Proceedings.

John Stauffer, County Clerk. For the Journal. Health Note. Let us consider what delicate ma chines we are; how intricate and complicated tbe various parts; how sensitive to every influence. What a bundle of nerve, blood canals, absor absorbentB, organs I Every second the heart propells the life current through all this machinery first to itself (the heart), to the lungs, tbe stomach, &c ; to tbe various parts of the eye ind the other organs of sense. At the same time the lungs cease lessly pump fresh air to the blood. The stomach, pancreas and intestines are a great laboratory for the prepara tion of new tissue out of all kinds of raw material. The nerves are on tbe alert for impressions conveying intel ligence from the outside world to the brain, and from one part of the body to tbe other. It is a world in itself. and a world of wonders, and receives very properly the name of "micro cosm," or little world. That this wonderful machine should get out of order is not a wonder; that it should bear so much abuse is a wonder. Now how careful onght we to be in the handling of this machine I How onght we to hesitate before intro ducing between the delicate wheels a foreign substance. Such carefulness will look with suspicion upon any substance which is known to disturb the harmony of this "little world." Such carefulness will demand a per- feet knowledge of the character of cvery article of food ; and it will in gcnoral ruje out euch articles, the natural history of which is doubtful. The practice of buying things in tho general markets, already prepared for the table, is to be discouraged. For all you know you may eat grease of animals that died of disease. Vari ous articles are doctored up with coloring matter. It is a good rule to prepare every article of food your self, from tbe raw material which can not be adulterated. It is superfluous to- add that no perfectly sane and sensible human being will knowingly introduce a poisonous substance into tho midst of this delicate machinery such as alcohol, tobacco, opium; or expose himself to the action of certain other poisons in certain abodes which could fitly be termed the "gates of hell."
