For Judge of the District Court for the Fourth Judicial District A. M. POST, of Columbus. For District Attorney for the Fourth Ju dlcial District WM. MABSHALL, of Fremont. Platte We, the republicans of Nebraska, in convention assembled, reaffirm the great principles upon which the na tional republican party has appealed to the people and received their en dorsement in eix successive presi dential campaigns ; and which, having been made the basis of constitutional amendments, and introduced in the great body of onr federal law for the administration of justice, the disposi tion of our public lands, the manage ment of finances, the collection of revenue and the settlement of inter national differences, have solidified the nation and inaugurated an era of unexampled prosperity. 2. We hold to the policy of collect ing the revenues of the country from a tariff on imports so adjusted as to favor and protect domestic industries, and encourage the immigration to onr shores of laborers to perform the ser vices we need on our own soil, paying tribute to our own government, rath er than the importation of the pro ducts of labor that is tributary to a foreign and perhaps hostile govern ment. 3. We favor an amendment to the constitution of the state by the inser tion of a clause permitting the estab lishment of a board of commissioners whose duty shall be to enforce such legislation aa may be enacted for the prevention of extortion and unjust discrimination on the part of railroad and telegraph companies. 4. We favor the enactment of legis lation by congress forfeiting every acre of public land granted to cor porations and not earned by a strict compliance with the law, and the restoring of the same to the public domain. And we endorse the recent decision of the administration to the affect that public lands are not to be monopolized as cattle ranges, but are open to actual settlers. 5. We favor legislation by congress requiring corporations to which lands have been granted from the public domain to take their patents as soon as inch grants have been earned, so that they may be subject to taxation, or to forfeit their grants. 6. We heartily endorse the wise and patriotic policy that has been panned by President Chester A. Ar thur, and the work of the late repub lican congress in equalizing the tariff and to reduce the reveuues without failing to meet the interest and to rednce the principal of the national debt, and in providing for the im provement of the navigation of the great rivers of the west and south. Burglars still linger about Omaha. The new dinner plates will be square. S. B. Hitchcock of Pittsburg has mysteriously disappeared. Moody and Saukey sailed from New York last week for Ireland. It cost Missouri $10,000 to put Frank JaraeB through a criminal trial. Ax explosion of powder the other day at Vienna killed fifteen persons. Recent advices from Mexico show no improvement of the yellow fever. An organized band of burglars has been unearthed at Clarksburg, West Virginia. George Washington weighed 209 pounds at the close of the Revolu tionary War. Three inches of snow in the north ern part of Franklin county, Maine, the other night. The result of the Antelope county seat election, we learn, was eighty majority for Neligh. Gen. Hancock has been quite in disposed, but his condition last week was greatly improved. Br an explosion in a powder mill St San Francisco the other day, forty Chinamen were killed. Judge Morris has been nominated by the republicans for district judge in the fifth judicial district. It is stated that a Georgia negro bat a bed in a gum tree near Savan nah, where he sleeps each night. Br recent private letters received at San Francisco, yellow fever in Mexi co is much worse than reported. It is claimed that "native" oysters' are selling now iu London for a dollar a dozen, and are poor at that price. It Is slated that the French repre sentative in China does not believe a war probable between France and China. It is claimed that over 4,000 miles of new railroad track have been built in the United States in the past nine months. A well-to-do maiden lady in Pat ten, Me., worked'out her town tax this summer with rake aud hoe on the road. A bank in Omaha is putting iu a GO, 000 pound safety deposit vault, which will be furnished with boxes to rent to customers. It is stated that there is a woman in Rosendale, N. Y., who claims she did not know it wae uulawiul to have two bnsbands. Nike business houses, occupied by thirteen firms, burned one night last week at Kirkwoou, 111., causing a IMS Of $30,000. The United States treasury last week despatched another half million 'of gold certificates of the Washington series to Chicago. It is claimed that the wholesale trade of Omaha sends out 300 travel- lag agents, and that their sales exceed 16,000,000 a year. The reason advanced by H. L. Taylor, of Belair, Md., for asking for a divorce is that his wife will not let Hm read the Bible. Taxes. Quite an interest has been created among the citizens of this part of the state as to when taxes are due and when they become delinquent, nnder the laws of '83. The following letter from the attor ney general of the state to the treas urer of Seward county, is supposed to give a correct interpretation of the law : Dear Sir: Yours of the 5tb inst., relating to the time when taxes of 1883 become delinquent, received. The repealing clause to act of 1883 provides "That such repeal shall not in any manner affect any rights here tofore acquired, or the collection of any tax heretofore levied or assessed." In substance, that uch tax shall be collected the same as though no repeal of the law bad taken place, and that the new law should not apply to such tax. In Hamilton Co. vs. Bailey, 12 Neb., 59, in construing the language used iu the repealing clause in the act of 1879 which is similar to that used in the repealing clause in the act of 1883, the court says : "That the repeal does not in any manner affect the collection of any tax levied prior to that date." In other words the Maine proceedings are to be bad for the col lection of taxes previously levied as existed at the time of the passage of the act I am of the opinion that the inter pretation given by the court in that case to the repealing clause in the act of 1885, as like language is used in each, and that therefore the law of 1883 does not apply to taxes levied prior to taking effect of 6aid law. Very respectfully, Isaac Powebs, Jr., Attorney General. FIrt Jnmamiftl Meet!. The Nebraska Unitarian Associa tion will hold its first annual meeting in Lincoln, Nebraska, October 30th and 31st, 1883. Believing that the time has come for a united effort, on the part of all persons in the Missouri valley, who believe in working together for free dom, fellowship and character, by the method of religion, we, therefore, who have united ourselves together to emphasize righteousness, aud to push forward religious progress, urge upon all, of whatever name, who are in general sympathy with our liberal religious ideas and methods, to meet with us in open conference. Accommodations for a limited num ber have already been secured and we hope to arrange for the entertain ment of all who may attend. Reduc ed rates over all railroads centering in Lincoln will be secured. All persons attending will address Rev. . Pow ell, Beatrice, Neb., as soon as possible. On and after Oct. 26, address Lin coln, Nebraska. Thos. L. Kimball, Prest. Enoch Powell, Sec'y. A lady from Ohio by the name of Thompson had children living near Crete, Neb. In a desire to give them a surprise, she wrote them last week that she would make them a visit about the beginning of'the New Year. She had prepared everything for her visit and immediately followed after her letter, aud arriving in Crete had to travel some distance into the coun try ; she procured a wigon and Btarted out on the road ; when out some dis tance, a wild fellow driving a team iu the same direction behind them, whooped and whipped his horses in such a manner as to frighten them and cause them to run away and dash into the rear end of the wagon in which Mrs. Thompson was riding, which threw her out, one of the run away horses falling upon her, killing her instantly. The dead corpse, in stead of the living mother, was a.sad, sad surprise indeed to the children. John and Walter Gilmore, living near York, Neb., shot W. H. Arm strong one day last week, one ball passing through his body in the region of his stomach, the other wound being hieher up and near the heart. He cannot live. The Gilmore men gave themselves up, and John says he did the shooting. A few days before this occurrence, Armstrong bad fired a couple of shots at Walter, but failed to hit him ; for this he bad been ar rested and given bond for his appear ance and was returning home at the time of the last shooting, when he overtook the company and sprang into Gilmore's wagon and clinched with one of them when the shooting took place. The trouble originated in the opposition of Armstrong to Walter marrying his daughter, which took place a short time before. Mrs. Bailey, aged 45 years, wife of a commercial traveler, and her daughter, 16 years old, were found dead in a cornfield near Monmouth, 111., the other morning, and from a note found on the person of the mother it was evident she had killed her daughter with a razor and then took her own life with the same in strument. The daughter bad been demented from her birth and the mother had given herself up to brood ing over her daughter's condition which induced her to commit the horrible deed. The republican state, convention of Marylaud, held at Baltimore last week, nominated Hart B. Holton, of Baltimore Co. for governor, by accla mation ; Washington Smith, of Dor chester, for comptroller, and R. S. Matthews, of Baltimore, for attorney general. J. L. H. Smith (colored) of Baltimore, guaranteed 40,000 colored voters in Maryland would cast their ballots for Holten. The magnificent buildings of the Pittsburg exposition society on the north bank of the Allegheny river were totally destroyed the other morning by fire. The flames were first discovered in the boiler room attached to the machinery hall. The loss will probably reach $100,000- We learn that the Antimonopolists have nominated in the Fourth Judi cal district J. Robert Williams of David City, for District Judge, and John Patterson, of Central City, for District Attorney. The widow of Elkanah Walker is probably the only survivor of the women who rode across the plains to Oregon on horseback in the early days. The saddle on which she rode forty-five years ago is still Jin her possession. Her son, C H. Walker, the oldest white person born in Ore gon, was with her in Portland on the day of the recent railroad parade. Alex. Potts, of Lafayette, Ind., has been charged with the murder of Ada Atkinson. A detective claims that Potts had a knife that would make wounds like those of the mur dered girl, that his shirt and vest had blood stains on them, and tracks found near Atkinson's house fitted Potts' boots. The general belief is that he is not the murderer. A curiosity of divorce legislation is found in the act of Georgia, passed March 18, 1865, just before the Con federacy collapsed, to the effect that a divorce may be granted to loyal females whose husbands are in the service of the United States, or have been voluntarily within the lines of the enemy, giving them aid and comfort. A Nevada man who has been min ing in Mexico for two years has re turned, somu hundreds of dollars poorer than when he left. He says he would have done well enough down in that country, but about once a month they were after him for sub scriptions. The men who called for subscriptions came with shotguns. A child eleven months old at Rut land, Vt., daughter of Theron Good win, was shot dead in bed with its mother. The mother claims that an hour before a shot was fired at her through a window, and that later some one entered the room and killed the baby. The mother was arrested. The seventeen-year-old daughter of Cephas Atk!nson,of Atkinson Station, Ind., was outraged and murdered one day last week during the absence of her parents, they finding her with her throat cut from ear to ear. Intense excitement prevails In the neigh borhood. The other morning between Gand er's station and Webber's Rails, In dian Nation, while deputy U. S. mar shals Addison, Peck aud Merritt were attempting to arrest John Bark and a Cherokee named John Jacks, whiskey peddlers, all three officers were killed. The other night the express mes senger on the Wabash road was knocked down, gagged and robbed between Rome and Peru of about $1,500. Two suspicious men have been arrested at Logansport, supposed to be implicated in the robbery. The following post-offices have been raised to the third grade and salaries increased. McLeansborough, 111., $1,000; Spirit Lake, Iowa, $1,100; Wymore, Neb., $1,100. Tho post office department in September issued 102,605,000 new 2 cent stamps. At Fleetwood Park the other day the largest crowd ever assembled in America, came together to witness the race between Jay Eye Seo aud St. Julien. The race was very exciting, Jay Eye See winning the first three beats. Best time, 2 : 18J . Mrs. Sport, of Sutton, Neb., takes a fancy to her husband's hired band, feigns sickness to secure a good op portunity to make the necessary prep arations, obtained $500 of her hus band's cash, and skipped the town with the hired man. As to Judge A. M. Post, the repub lican candidate for district judge, there are nothing but words of com mendation Irom all political parties. None doubt his election, and his emi nent ability for the position is con ceded everywhere. A Wethersfield, Conn., lady get ting dinner the other day was sur prised to find a cherry stone in the center of a potatoe she was preparing to cook. The stone had germinated, and. the sprout was nearly one-eighth of an inch long. Mrs. Hannah Clark, of Elkhart, Ind., has purchased four lots at Nemo ka, for the purpose of building an old ladies' home. One thousand dollars have already been raised, and parties have been engaged to beautify the lots. Work has begun on the body ot the capitol building at Lincoln, the old structure having been torn away. Excavation has been made, and the foundation for the dome is being prepared by layers of concrete. A big storm at Buffalo the other night leveled the unfinished round house of the Rochester & Pittsburg road, demolished one residence, blew down trees and signs, and wrecked glass in windows extensively. Anna Holmes, 18 years old, killed herself with arsenic at her homo in Terre Haute, Ind., the other day. The girl's mother tried to commit suicide by licking the froth from her daugh ter's mouth, but will recover. The first of the mauy tokens re ceived by Mrs. "Stonewall" Jackson and daughter during their stay in Boston was a superb basket of roses, "with the compliments of tho Grand Army of the Republic.'' m The democratic state convention of New York nominated Isaac Maynard for secretary of state, Alfred C. Cha pin, comptroller, Robert A. Maxwell, state treasurer, Dennis O'Brien, at torney general. Christine Nilsson arrived the oth er day in New York -from Europe. She expressed herself as delighted to return to America. She is in better health now and able to fill a large list of engagements. ' m - - The postmaster at New York has found it necessary to inform the pub lic that the postage op foreign mail matter has not been reduced. Over 500 letters for foreign coun tries were mailed one day last week bearing only a two-cent stamp, tho senders laboring under the impres sion that foreign postage rates had been reduced. Peck & Sons sash, door and blind factory burned with contents the other day. The fire is supposed to have originated from the friction of a pulley. It will take $50,000 to cover the loss. Miss Kern with, aged 50, had four young men arrested the other day at Erie, Pa., for attempting to criminally assault her in an unfrequented part of the city, families The accused belonj? to good Damage by fire in Neil block one night last week at Oswego, N. Y., will reach $50,000, divided among various tenants. Nine firemen were injured, three quite severely, but not fatally. Tillie Anderson, a Swede girl who has been in America since June, and in Minneapolis two weeks, disap peared mysteriously one night last week and has not been hoard of since. Washington Ty. is excited over the antics of a wild woman who ap pears in the forests near small settle ments occasionally. She has long streaming hair, and is clothed in rags. The terrible tragedy which hap pened the other day at York, Neb., resulted in the death of Wm. H. Arm strong. He died refusing a recon ciliation with his daughter. A curious breach of promise suit is brought by a Maine woman against her divorced husband, who thought he would marry her again, and then concluded he would not. Dan Dillon, a notorious bully of St. Joe, insulted and got into a quar rel the other night with Robert B. Payne, a farmer, which resulted iu Payne killing Dillon. Mrs. DeLong has been for some years pastor of the Unlversalist Church at Tecumseh, Neb., and her charge has recently built a pretty aud comfortable church. Mrs. Charles Butler, shot by her husband the other day at Princeton, Ind., has since died. Butler appeared to be quite indifferent when he heard of her death. Gen. Sherman has fixed upon the 1st of November as the day he will turn over his command to General Sheridan, and practically retire to civil life. A dilapidated old sorry lookiug horse, Sioux Falls (Dakota) man, took with a in the sports about $500 on a running race the other day. II. H.
