The state anti-monopoly conven tion was held at Grand Island on the Gth inBt., in Liederkranz hall. Nearly every-county in the state being rep resented, which made the attendance very respectable. J. M. Burrows, of Gage, was chos en chairman and J. S. Armstrong, of Boone, secretary. J. B. Alley of Saline, J. Q. Jones of Nance, Kellar of Adams, D. L. Bruen of Platte, and J. Whitmore of Gage, were appointed a committee on cre dentials. Thos. Wilkinson of Boone, Powers -of Hall, and J. E. Miller of Buffalo, were appointed a committee on per manent organization. The following committee on reso lutions was appointed: F. Doderall of Dodge, E. Rose water of Douglas, F. Kellar of Adams, G. Painter of Boone, Hon. Moore of York, N. C. Foley of York, and Hon. Wm. Dodd of Howard. During the absence of the commit tee on credentials, the convention was addressed, it is said, in an able manner by Piatt, .Chamberlain, Roae water, Senator Reynolds and ex-Gov. Butler. In the afternoon the committee on credentials reported, and their report Was adopted. and the temporary of ficers of tho convention made per manent. A motion was made to proceed to the nomination of supreme judge. Mr. Saville of Buffalo, offered the following amendment : "No man shall be nominated by this convention for any position who has not been identified with the anti monopoly party, and who will not pledge himself to support the nomi nations of the convention." This amendment produced an ex citing discussion, in whtch Judge Brandt or Buffalo, Saville and ex1 Gov. Butler participated, Butler sup porting the resolution. The amend ment was lost.

For regents of the university, long term, David Butler of Pawnee; for second longest term, J. H. Ames of Lancaster, and for vacancy J. H. Merritt of Antelope. C. Burroughs was elected chairman of the state central committee. the platform. The committee on resolutions sub mitted the following report : Whereas, The constitution of Ne braska, adopted in 1875, expressly provides that the legislature shall enact laws prohibiting extortion and discrimination by transportation com panies, and to prescribe maximum rates of transportation ; and Whereas, After a lapse of eight years, with four consecutive legisla tures that were by a large majority republican, the provisions of the con stitution were ignored and producers and shippers aro subjected to the un restricted caprice and greed of cor porate monopolies ; and Whereas, The dominant party has made the most solemn pledges to en act wholesome railroad laws and enforce equal taxation of all classes of property, and these pledges have been grossly violated ; therefore be it liesolqed, By the Anti-Monopolists in convention assembled, that we call upon the voters of Nebraska to rally around the Anti-Monopoly standard in defense of right and constitutional privileges. We declare : 1. That corporations, the creation of the state, shall be controlled by law. 2. That we demand a material re duction in passenger and freight tolls by legal enactment through congress and our legislatures. 3. That we earnestly favor tho es tablishment of a postal telegraph. 4. That we denounce as unjust and burdensome the exemption from tax es of railroad lands whether patented or unpatented. 5. That we favor a radical revision of the tariff adjusted so as to foster American industry without creating monopolies or placing needless bur dens on the consumer. 6. That discrimination in favor of grain and coal dealers and the creator of grain and coal monopolies should be prohibited by law and equal facili ties granted to all shippers. liesolved, That labor, its importauco as the condition of all production, and its just relation with capital, should be recognized and its right protected by law. Labor saving ma chinery, instead of unduly ouriching the capitalist ought to reduce the hours of labor without reducing wa ges, so the workingmen may have more time for recreation and im provement. The right of laboring men to hold public meetings for peaceable discussion should be pro tected by law. State prisons and penitentiaries are established to pre vent crime and reform criminals, not to make profits for private persons or to injure the interests of labor. There fore, the contract system in these in stitutions should be abolished, and the labor of the convicts be so em ployed as not to injure the interests of merchants and laboring men. The platform was adopted except the fifth plank, which was modified so as to demand a tariff for revenue onlv. A young girl in North Carolina had her hand completely severed from the arm by an axe. The physi cian replaced the hand, secured it with silver stitchea and adhesive plas ter, and having secured it on a broad board splint, ordered them to be kept warm with hot flannel cloth. The third day pulsation could be plainly felt in the hand, which had also chang ed its color. The bandages were re moved on the fourteenth day, and afterwards she carried the hand in a Bling, and in three months after the accident she was able to extend the fingers apd grasp with nearly the UBual strength. From San Saba through to McCul-, lough and Concha counties, Texas, extensive prairie fires have raged, destroying a vast extent of pasture. Stock men will suffer havy loss. Such a drouth has not been experienced in that region for many years. The celebration of the linking of Pugct Sound with Lake Superior at St. Paul, and the banquet at Minne apolis on the 3d, proved to be a grand affair, which brought together the Villard party, including President Arthur, Gens. Grant and Sheridan and Secretary Lincoln, as well as noted foreigners of the old world, with a sprinkle of about 40,000 natives. Minneapolis was profusely decorated, and appropriate mottoes and flags floated in the breeze. After the procession had formed and while President Arthur, Villard, Sheridan, Grant and Lincoln appeared on the stand it formed the occasion and sig nal for an outburst of applause and cheering. In the evening Villard and his guests were tendered a banquet at hotel Lafayette, at Lake Minuetonka, Minn. After the guests had indulged heartily in the banquet, the health of President Arthur was proposed. The President responded as follows : Mr. Chairman 1 thank you '.cor dially for your kind greeting. I am glad to take part in these festivities. 'The great work which they commem orate may well be celebrated, and Mr. Mayor,-welt may the residents of your city, which stands at the gateway of that highway, stretching far out to the western sea, congratulate themselves, as they are about to enter upon a career of renewed prosperity. Com ing 'to you from that wonderland of America, I have travelled a thousaud milos by the Northern Pacific railway nothing I have, read, nothing I have ever heard, have equalled-what I have seen, which convinces me of the im portance of this great enterprise and that it has not been .overestimated by its most sanguine friends. All honor, then, to the zeal and energy, which has given to that enterprise such tre mendous success. Loud cheers fol lowed by three cheers for President Arthur. Mr. Villard in reply to Arthur's speech said : "I am almost staggered by the weight of gratitude you have heaped upon me. I have already once before to:day.(at Minneapolis) been compell ed to protest that the honor was being showered upon'me beyond my merit. It was my good fortune to conduct thiB enterprise, that started 13 years ago, to a successful conclusion. But thbre are others entitled to a great deal of credit- for this success besides myself. Circumstances called mo to the direction of the Northern Pacific at the most auspicious period of pros perity. The times could not have been more favorable than I found them. My success is so far due to my predecessors on the Northern Pacific, and to that of my associates in the directory. I found a living body not a dead one. The success of the enterprise was assured before I be came president of it. Now that tho road is completed, it was incumbent on the management to make it satis factory to the stockholders aud com munity, who have looked forward to its completion." Villard concluded by alluding in feeling terms to the generous hospitality extended by St. Paul and Minneapolis to the foreign and American guests. Villard's re marks were loudly applauded. It is claimed that twenty-five years ago this month the first gold was dis covered in Cherrv Creek, which stream now runs west of and through the city of Denver. In those days it was "Pike's Peak or bust." A large number succeeded in getting to the peak, and perhaps a larger number "busted." It is wonderful to think of the changes which have taken place in that vicinity in so short a period. From a barren and desolate plain has sprung up a beautiful city with a population of 60.000 or 70,000 inhabitants, some of whom, we pre sume, could not tell on a hasty in quiry, how much they were worth in this world's goods, aud hundreds of others on the high road to wealth. The population is still increasing, and this year will witness the erection in the city of very many costly and beautiful buildings, Within the pe riod named it is estimated that the Rocky Mountain country, iucluding Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Idado and Montana have produced $100,000,000 in gold, silver and copper. Judge Bond, of the United States circuit court, reudered at Richmond, Vs., last week a very important de cision concerning the state debt. The judge holds that the tender of cou pons for taxes is legal tender; that officers of the state be enjoined from levying on tax-payers' property after the tender of coupons. The judge also holds that the circuit court of the United States has full jurisdic tion over the matter. If the decision stands it would seem the state can collect no more revenue until she provides for the coupons. A curious discovery has been made in the case of Miss Fannie Strickland, who died last week at Adrian, Mich. A substance was found in the intos tinal canal which resembled, and was supposed to be, a piece of grape stem. Dr. Logue suggested that it might be a pin surrounded with the corrosion which would naturally accumulate about a substance of that kind in such a position. In cutting into toe center of the supposed grape stem the pin was found, and a further exploration at one end revealed the head of the pin. The Iowa State Fair, it is predicted, will be the largest in point of entries and receipts ever held in the west. It is claimed that there were 20,000 people on the ground on the 4th. The big Indian chiefs Sitting Boll, Rain-in-the-Face, Crow King and Gall, were to arrive the next day aud re main during the fair. The distin guished Sioux war chiefs will bring out the crowd of people, and it is estimated that from 40,000 to 50,000 people will attend each subsequent day duiing the fair. Marquis Tzng, Chinese ambassdor, has under instructions of his govern ment, demanded the withdrawal of France from the Hue treaty. Ferry, French prime minister, refused to comply, but assured the marquis that France is willing to give China the necessary guarantees for the integri ty of her frontier. The rumor is cur rent that Gen. Thebandin, minister of war, will resign. Another Appearaace. On Saturday night last W. R. Brooks, of Phelps, N. Y., discovered a singular object in the constellation of Draco. He was not certain as to its real character, but on Monday night Prof. Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner Observatory at Roches ter, N. Y., verified it by means of the large Warner telescope as being a comet. It is quite large, nearly round, and moving slowly westward. Mr. Brooks received a special prize of $250 from Mr. Warner some two montli-i since, and if there is no prior claim ant, will be entitled to the $200 prize on the present discovery. Mas. Mary W, Westcott, of De Witt, Neb., is preparing a history of the "Loyal Women of the Civil War," and .requests letters, records and ac counts of woman's service to her country, whether at home, in the hos pital, in the field or in the sanitary commission. It is intonded that this work shall place the patriotic woman of the civil service on record with the volunteer soldiers aud create a fund for the Ladies' Relief Corps of the G. A. R. News at London on the 4th stated that the Standard's Hong Kong spe cial reported 4,000 Chinese troops, stationed at Parhoi, had been ordered to the frontier. Also that there was much excitement at Hong Kong con sequent upou the receipt of news that Chinese troops are crossing Mang Kia. This means China has accepted the gage France has thrown down, and war is inevitable. The band parade at Hastings on the 4th was a grand affair. The man agement was conducted by Major Pemberton, assisted by the drum majors and leaders of twenty-one brass bands and drum corps, which, doubtless, produced music that excit ed patriotic feeliugs in citizens and soldiers. It is claimed that fully ten thousand spectators witnessed the parade. nit" Fearful tides recently expended their force on the Northern Atlantic coast. The beach at Long Branch was badly washed, the waves sweep ing over the Jersoy Southern railroad into the Shrewsbury river. At At lantic City stores, baths aud resi dences were undermined by the surf and carried away, entailing a loss of $75,000. The recent storm around the coast of Nova Scotia was very violent, showing the damage to shipping ex tensive. Ten schooners were driven I ashore, some completely wrecked and others badly damaged. The tower of the new Catholic church was car ried away aud the large building moved from its foundation. It is stated that volcanic ashes fell so hot in Batavia, Java, that it killed birds. Many towns have been de molished by tidal wave, and where the mountain Kramatan stood is now covered with water. The bottom of the straits of Suuda have been so changed by the earth's convulsions that navigation is dangerous. The district commissioners of Washington City have uotifiod the Western Union, Baltimoro & Ohio and American Rapid (elegraph com panies that no more new telegraph poles can be erected by them in the limits of the city of Washington. They recommend the under ground system to telegaaph companies. It is again reported that the Union Pacific railroad is soon to be pushed through to tho Pacific coast. It is not probable that the main line will thus be extended, but it is believed that the Utah Central, which is con trolled by the Union Pacific, may soon be built on through southern Utah and Nevada to the coast near Los Angeles. News from Astoria, Oregon, states that tho steamer Queen Pacific, with the Villard party on board, run aground on tho afternoon of the 5th at Slatsap Spit, iuside of Columbia. Great fears are entertained for the welfare of the vessel as she grounded at high tide. Mb. Van Deb Voobt, who held a responsible place in the railway mail service at Omaha, has been removed by tho postmaster-general. Wo are ignorant of the causes which formed the grounds for removal, but surely there must bo derilection of duties somewhere. Kennedy, the Youngstown, Ohio, bank defaulter, is short in his account $14,000, of which $10,000 has been secured by attachments on real estate. Kennedy's friends propose to make good the deficiency, aud be is expect ed to return from Canada, whither he had fled. Recent storms have almost totally destroyed the grain and other crops in the south of Ireland. The authori ties fear a renewal of the rent agita tion, owing to the distress consequent upon the loss of crops. A general strike against rents is thought im minent. A. S. Harptell, the fourth of the young desperadoes who robbed the Riverside stage and killed the express messenger, the 10th of August, was captured on the 5th by the sheriff at Florence, Arizona. It is stated that he will probably be tried by the citi zens. Last week a dullness was reported in all the markets at Chicago, and it was stated that everything awaits the course to oe taken oy corn, which cereal will, for some time to come, be the leader. Operators move cau tiously and await developments. In Logan county, Ark., there is a full-blooded negro who is gradually becoming white. Originally cole black, bis skin is now mottled and the white spots predominate. The change has been going on for years.

A Chinese paper urgs immediate action to be taken to prevent annexa tion by Ihe French of any portion of Chinese territory and expresses in dignation that such attempt should have been made at the time when China was at peace with France. Fred. Helms, a switchman tin the B. & M., was killed the other morning at McCook, while coupling cars load ed with rails. In the darkness Hie cars came up and Ihe rails closed on his head, severing it from the shoul ders. His home is at York.
