An exchange says that a woman has challenged Bob Ingersoll to a discus aion, and Bob has crawled off. There are 25,000 children in Phila delphia for whom there are neither echool houses nor school teachers.

Normal School, at Nor zaanville. Jay Griffin, a former citizen of Ohio, was killed the other day by a witch engine in the Butte vard at Montana. The president has appointed Ed ward Farley collector of internal revenue of the second district of Kentucky. Miss Kate Palmer is the botanist, and Mrs.R. Lloyd the chemist, in the Louisville, Ky., School of Pharmacy for women. The pension fraud charges brought gainst Mrs. Belva Lockwood are aid to have been withdrawn, as bav iag no foundation. A little ten-year old girl named Stella B. Farcing, was the other day knocked down and killed by a run away team, at Rulo. The Grand Army debt remaining from the National encampment at Denver in July last, has been re duced to less than $6,000. Prof. J. H. Tick, the weather prophet, died suddenly on the morn ing of the 30th nit., at his residence in the suburbs of Cheltenham. The cabinet meeting one day last week was said to be protracted, the cense being discussion of the troubles between France and China. The Mormons will have a big lobby ift Washington this winter, in the hope that it may be able to influence legislation relative to that people. Ex-President Hayes writes to the National Prison Association that they mmst not abolish convict labor, as work is the essential part of reform. A telegram published in the La Liberte at Paris, states that England kas offered to mediate between France ftad China, and France has accepted. Jennie McCowan will deliver a coarse of lectures on Physiology be fore the young ladies of the Academy of Science, in Davenport, Iowa, this winter. P. H. Simmons, ex-cashier of the Tompkins bank at El Paso, which Jailed recently, has been arrested charged with forgery and alteration of figures in the books. We imagine we can see Tilden's head here and there in the Democratic campaigns. He is a very 6ly one, and means to be the next Democratic aomiaee for president. Jasper Nelson who was charged With killing his mother in Indiana, to obtain her money, was arrested the other day at Cape Girardeau, Mo., and taken to Indianopolis. Bigelow, the president of the Na tional college of pharmacy, and thirty eight students left that institution the other day in consequence of the ad mission of a colored man. James Wright of Circleville, Ohio, was killed the other day by a collision of freight trains on the Sciota Valley railroad, and his brother was serious ly hart and two others slightly. Wx understand that the courts kftve decided that the standard time ia legal. These decisions will have to .reversed before standard time can be changed by individual action. Miss Amy Bradley opened a Nor mal school some time since at Tiles ton. It is said to be one of the best 'schools in the south. She has not room to accommodate all who come. The grand jury at San Francisco indicted Miss Hill, claiming to be tie wife of Senator Sharon, and Will ie M. Nelson, her attorney, for for fery, perjery and conspiracy. Both were admitted to bail. Wholeawle 9Irder. A horrible murder of four persons occurred the other night near Jack son, Mich. The names of the persons murdered were Jacob D. Crouch, aged 74, a widower, Henry White, son-in-law of Croncb, Eaiee White, all of Summit township, Jackson county, and Moses Folley, of Mercer. county, Pennsylvania, were found murdered in thefr beds, all having been shot through the head behind the ear. It is believed they were chloroformed, as no sign of a struggle appeared, each victim lying as if sleep and an odor of chloroform was noticeable when the bodies were dis covered. 'Crouch was a wealthy farmer and owner of an extensive sheep ranch in Texas. It was ru mored that he had just received about $50,000 from Texas in payments of ales made on the ranch brought from there by Mr. Polley and it is thought that Mr. P. was followed from Texas by the person or persons who com mitted the murders. An adopted daughter of White and a negro were sleeping up stairs and say they heard nothing of the shooting. Bolles, the negro, was arrested and will be held to await an investigation. Crouch's pocketbook was empty, which con tained $105 and a certificate of deposit for $500. The house was searched, and everything of value carried away. Taut WycU. The Sntton Register, in a very pointed article regarding the favorite pastime of the Omaha Republican viz, the traducing of Senator Van Wyck, among other things, says : "As to Van Wyck's malign influ ence on the politics of the state, the Republican may rest assured that no public man in the state, to-day, has the confidence of the republican voters to a greater extent than has General Van Wyck. As a republican paper professing a desire for harmony and the future success of the party, the Republican is an anomaly in its treat ment of Senator Van Wyck pursu ing, as it does the very course calcu lated to breed discord, engender strite, destroy harmony and revive the feuds, which in the past so nearly sent the party in this state into bank ruptcy. A little more fairness and a good deal less vindictiveness on its part woold tend to give strength to the republican party and add to its own influence as a prominent party organ." The democratic caucus held at Washington on the evening of the 1st inst, for the purpose of nominating officers of the house of representa tives of the 48th congress, resulted in the nomination of John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, for speaker; John B. Clarke, of Missouri, for clerk ; John B. Leedom, of Ohio, for sergeant-at-arms ; J. G. Wintersmitb, of Texas, for doorkeeper ; Lycorgus Dalton, of Indiana, for postmaster; Rev. J. S. Linday, of the Protestant Episcopal church of Georgetown, D. C, for chaplain. On motion of Gen. Slocum, of New York, and seconded by Gen. Bosecrane, it was unanimously resolv ed that fourteen crippled and disabled union soldiers now borne on the sol diers' roll as under door-keepers of the house be retained, subject to dis missal for just and sufficient cause. There is such a marked difference between the newspapers that give expression to the people's desire on railroad matters, and those who ad vocate what the railroads wish they should, that the people know them at once, and it is useless to try to hide or skulk or make believe. To one of our editorial brethren who has evi dently taken umbrage at a mild sug gestion from us, we may quote the language of the poet, relative to those who would not seem to be all they really are : "For love of grace. Lay not that flattering unction to your soul: It will but skin and Aim the ulcerous Dlace: Whilst rank corruption, mingling all within, Infects unseen." The district court in York county has held that the bondsmen of Leidtke, the defaulting auditor of state, are not liable. Of course they are not liable. Who ever heard of anyone being held liable for anything in Nebraska? Hull, who deliberately plundered the government as custo dian, was not liable; Angbey, who engaged in the pleasant pastime of negotiating forged paper; and Cams, who directed legislation by methods more potent than honest, .were nei ther of them liable. Let some poor devil steal a railroad tie if you want to see the majesty of the law invoked. Schuyler Sun. A recent dispatch from Hong Kong says that news from Hal Phong is that 3,000 Chinese attacked Hal Dzuong on the night of the 17th. The French garrison, supported by a gun boat, maintained its position. The engagement lasted from 9 a. m. until 4 p. m., when the Chinese retreated. The loss to the French land force is twelve killed aud wounded. The French gunboat had her hull pierced in several places, and eight of the crew wounded. From, the evidence now presented, war with France is regarded as inevitable. Hon. Samcel L. Savidge, judge of the Tenth judicial district, died at his home in Kearney on the 30th olt., after an illness of less than two weeks, of typhoid fever. He was born in Vienna, Ohio, March 13, 1843. Ho afterwards lived at Hillsboro, Ohio, and in Minnesota. He finished his school education at Cornell college, Mount Vernou, Iowa, from which he graduated, and afterwards read law with Thompson & Davis, of Iowa, was admitted to the bar and removed to and located at Kearney, this stats, in 1873. 3 The State Journal says "Virginia bourbons are beginning to realize as they hear the echoes from all points of the compass to their boast of "victory won by a sudden gush of race feeling'," that the bloody shirt hoe been unearthed again, and that they are the 'galoots' that dug it up." The HI ratom Debate Closed. Special Correspondence. After a long and spirited contest the discussion of the third proposition in which Bishop Kelley affirmed that the Mormon was the true church of God, finally closed last evening. It came to an amicabble conclusion, al though there were many reasonable fears to the contrary. Kelley, al though he ran out of argument long before the close, was nevertheless an agreeable and pleasant speaker and won boquets from the ladies I Bra den, who is a profound reasoner, stoical and severe, having first over come bis opponent with arguments, dealt with him so unmercifully as to give him the benefit of the sympathy which the "under. dog" is entitled to. The Mormon doctrines have been fairly and thoroughly treated. Kel ley's principal claim was that spiritual sifts, prophesy, miracles, etc., are continued to the present day; that the Mormons have power to foresee the future, heal the sick, eic. Every unfavorable criticism of the church would be laid over on to the Brigbam Young heresy so called. But the claim of spiritual gifts was spoiled by the fact that where Joe Smith had a revelation to preach polygamy the pretense was afterwards made that at this particular time he was inspired of the Devil ! Kelley is the best de bater in the Mormon church, and the question is asked "If he cannot main tain its doctrines who can ?" Every speech of both disputants was care fully studied and ably presented to crowded houses which continued to the end. Stenographic report was taken and the debate will be put into book form at the earliest day possible. Wilber, Neb., Nov. 22. Our attention was called yesterday to a very handsome poster represent ing one of Nichols' Shepard & Go's, world-renowned threshing machines, the same being one of the premiums offered to the subscribers of the Oma ha Weekly Bee. The Bee's premium list this year is truly a liberal offer, comprlsiug over 200 grand premiums, worth from $25.00 to $1,800.00 each. At the head of the list we find an $1,800 lot, located on Sherman Ave., Omaha; a threshing machine with power, a traction engine, worth $1,000, a Grand piano, and numerous other valuable articles, farming implements, sewing machines, gold and silver watches, silverware, and the like. Besides those, nearly 25,000 minor presents are offered, thus assuring a premium to every subscriber, who prepays for one year, the price being only $2.00. Every premium is guar anteed to be worth not less than $1.00. The grand total of these presents which will be distributed on the 31st of December, foots up to over 35,000 dollars. The large number of ack nowledgements by the fortunate re cipients of premiums given in former years speaks for the satisfactory man ner in which those distributions are conducted. The weekly Bee is one of the newsiest weekly journals pub lished, and furnishes an uncommonly large amount of valuable reading of a general interest, contaiuing both east ern and western news. Many of our acquaintauces who do not themselves read the weekly Bee subscribe for it, and have the papers forwarded to their friends and relatives, while they retain the premium tickets. A very good idea, to be sure. Write them for sample copies. John Taylor, president of the Mormon church, is reported aB saying that all is harmony and prosperity in the church. That three hundred mis sionaries are at work all over the world with great success and Mor monism is bound to prevail, espe cially in the United States. That more converts have been brought to Utah the past two seasons, since the passage of the Edmunds bill than any four years before. John James, we learn from Des MoineB, la., committed suicide the other day at his boarding house by taking morphine. The cause was fail ure in business brought on by dissi pation. He was formerly a resident of Iowa City. For the past year and a half he has lived in Denver. He leaves a wife and four children, all grown. One of the sons ia a promi nent citizen of Des Moines. An exchange at Chicago tells this big snake story, which is about the usual way we obtain unreasonable and improbable stories about 'any thing. The story says more thau 3,000 snakes were killed withiu a mile of Falls City, Neb., during a re cent overflow. They were driven by the water from the bottom lands and swarmed upon the embankments thrown up for railroads. Postoffices established in Nebras ka: Belknap, Holt county, Lafayette Belknap, postmaster ; Holdrege, Phelps county, John L. Crosby, post master; Sherwood, Franklin county, Orrin Sherwood, postmaster. Name changed : Vaugban, Gosper county, to Homerville. Postmasters appointed : Harrington, Wheeler county, Wm. H. Applegarth ; Phelps, Phelps coun ty, Rolf Johnson. A recent dispatch from the neu ter's telegraph company from Cairo ays : "The army of Hicks Pasha has been destroyed by the forces of El mahdi, the false prophet. Fighting is said to haye continued from the 3d to the 5th inst., and have resulted in the complete annihilation of the Egyptian troops. It is slated that a European artist was the only person to escape.' Two thonsand five hundred opera tors' in Sir Titus' Salt's mills at Brad ford, England, were thrown out. of employment, the other day in conse quence of the strike of sixty spiuners. Seventy-five thousand cotton spin ners in northeast Lancashire have determined to resist the proposed re duction in wages of five per cent. A great strike is feared. A lauge number of the polygamic office-holders in Utah are holding over in disregard of the election, claiming that the Edmunds law is un constitutional and the action of the commission under it invalid, and since the newly elected Mormons are committed to the same view and will not briug suits to oust the polyga mies, the latter appear to have the. best of the situation. The suit of the State against ex AuditorLeidtke's bondsmen has been dismissed, because there was uo ap peerance on the part of the people at the last term of court, notwithstand ing the fact that Judge Norval had written a personal letter to the attor ney general. Mr. Powers ought to go. He looks after the interests of the state like the wolf guards the sheep fold. The statue of George Washington, which was unveiled ou the step- of the sub-treasury in front of Wall street, New York, formed one of the grand features of the ceremonies held on the centennial evacuation day. Thi6 statue, which stands 13 feet 5 inches high, and is made of standard bronze, was cast in the workshops of New York and finished within nix weeks. Ox Thanksgiving a'ternoon was laid in the city of Omaha the corner stone of the new Republican building. The building is to be of brick, and is to be 33x132 feet, and four stories high, with ornamental front, on Douglas aud Tenth streets. It is the intention of the proprietors to make it the most complete newspaper establishment in the west. An army officer is of the opinion that the statement that men desert from the army because they are not treated as soldiers, but as laborers und menials, is strictly true, and that the privates are beginning to fiud out that they are treated better in the military prison thau out of it, and that consequently desertions are of very common occurrence. Judge Nokval has made a decision which is, to use a mild term, aston ishing. He has decided that the bondsmen of F. W. Leidtke are not liable for the amount embezzled by the ex-auditor, and it will therefore be a dead loss to the state. The tax payer has a broad back, but some time the last straw will be piled ou. Sutton Register. The republican members of the House met iu Washington the after noon of the 1st inst., for the purpose of nominating officers, which resulted in the nomination of Geu. Keifer for speaker and all the old officers of the house, except the postmaster, who was not a candidate. Deputy post master McNair, was nominated for postmaster. They still keep up the barbarous practice in Delaware of punishing petit offences at the whipping post. Five prisoners were whipped the other day in Newcastle, three colored, and two white men. Ward Grove (colored) stood one hour iu the pil lory and received twenty lashes. The others were given ten lashes each. Reports come from Missouri and parts of Southern Illinois, of heavy raiu falls on the 21st, and some dam age by overflowed creeks. Heavy rain fell at St. Louis, and the day was the darkest ever known, gas being required throughout the city for several hours during the day. Mrs. S. J. Dunbar of Massachu setts has carried off from many com petitors, most of them men, the hun dred dollar prize offered by a com mittee of citizens of Colorado Springs and Manitou, Col., for the best article upon those two towns as places of residence and health-resorts. The Park Hotel at Auburn, Neb., owned by Judge Morgan, was entire ly destroyed by fire the other evening. The property was valued and insured for $1,700. The silver ware belonging to Mr. Wilcox, who was operating the hotel, was insured for $1,000, and is almost a total Iosb. Charles Riley, a switchman in the Union Pacific yards iu Omaha, the other night while coupling cars slip ped and fell underneath the train and the wheels passed one of his limbs, crushing it so badly that amputation was necessary. The presideut has pardoned Ser geant Mason, who attempted to shoot Guiteau. Mason was confined at Albany, N. Y., and his pardon would reach him in time to give him an op portunity to witness the grand cele bration in New York City of evacua tion day. The residence of James Davidson, near Miltord, Neb., caught fire the other day while Mr. and Mrs. David son were absent and was consumed with their furniture, clothing and winter provisions. Their invalid parents barely escaped with their lives. The London Times says it is now believed that Wolfs infernal machines would have been used against the German embassy withiu a few hours if they had not been seized. There is no reason to believe that the plotters were only anxious to produce alarm. A sad accident occurred the other 'day at Nebraska City, to Mrs. Crother and two children. While out riding, the, horse became frightened and up set the buggy, instantly killing Mrs. Crother's baby, and seriously injuring Mrs. Hoover and her little child. The mail and express train on the Southern Pacific was robbed the other afternoon by cow boys near Com mings, Arizona. The robbery is re ported to be very heavy. One train was wrecked and the express messen ger shot end killed, It is ftulod in ;iti exchange thttt Cheyenne ha.- no poor houe. They have an easy way of di-posiug of non-resident paupers there. They put them aboard the cars and send them to some town in Colorado or Nebraska. One of the curiosities of old Muck ros Abbey, near Killarnoy, Ireland, is one of the finest yew trees in Europe, planted by the monks some 500 years ago. In some pUces the ivy has' grown entirely through the Abbey wall. Last week another cyclone- swept over parts ot Mississippi and Arkan sas and iu its paths dealing death and injuries to the people, aud damage to property by blowing down houses, churches and leveling forestx to the earth. Heavy rains were reported last week iu Indiana, causing the streams to be filled by high water, washing out bridges iu some instances, and in others covering railroad tracks so that trains were unable to pass over. A splendid reception was given Gen. and Mrs. Sheridan one afternoon by the members of the Loyal Legion of Illinois, of which Gen. Sheridan is still nominally commander, at the rooms of the Calumet club, Chicago. A rose farm is a new industry in Alabama. Two gardners cultivate three acres iu rose treus. This year they sold 22,000 rose trees to parties at the North and had orders for f0, 000 more which they could not till. Geo. D. Bauer, ot Portsmouth, clerk on the Hue between Columbus, O., and Ashland, Ky., was arrested the other day by Inspectors Brown and Herrick, al Clevelaud, O., charged with embezzling and rifling letters. An Iowa man has figured out that the dogs of that state eat enough an nually to feed 100,000 workmen and cost 19,000,000 counting the sheep they kill. The education of the chil dren of the state costs $4,000,000. China has issued a circular declar ing that she has done her utmost to preserve peace, but the demands of the French are so exorbitant that she can only maintain her present attitude aud abide by the results. Recent news from Duluth, Minn., says there is strong probability now that the steamer Manistee is lost with all on board, including twenty-five human beings. Tbis ie another result of the recent wind storm. Grant Sells, of Indianapolis, charged with embezzling $5,000 from a firm in that city was arrested the other night by a detective, on the train going to Louisville, and taken to jail iu that city. Horace Allen, his brother, and a servant were bound and gagged in their residence, at Newton Falls, O., the other night by masked burglars, who carried away $70,000 worth of property. NOTICE.
