The President has nominated Rich ard S. Tu thill, of Chicago, United States attorney for the northern dis trict of Illinois and James A. Connel ly, of Illinois, for the southern district. Delegate Caine, of Utah, in re plying to Governor Murray's mes sage, asserts that polygamous mar riages are Bimply religious obligations and never claimed to have been legal. A fire at Ord, Neb., the other evening destroyed the building occu pied by Mr. Gillespie as a furniture store owned by J. E. Hall. It was worth about $500 and the stock in it about $3,000. I. M.

Inter Ocean. 1 Miss Elizabeth Richards, who re cently died at Wilmington, Del., had taught school for nearly eighty-years, and in several instances had had among her pupils successively mem bers of three generations of the same families. A lady aged forty years, who lives in Worth county, Ga., has had an eventful life. She recently married her fifth husband. Her first was killed in the war, her second in a difficulty, her third was divorced, and the fourth' died a natural death. A terrible tragedy occurred four miles west of Elgin, 111., one day last week. Wm. Combs, a farmer, 40 years old, cut his wife's throat, and in her dying agonies she wrenched the weapon from him and fatally stabbed him. The woman was alive at last accounts. Joseph N. Holbrook, a member of the Iowa, legislature, died at Des Moines on the 3l6t ult. of pneumonia. He was a captain in the 27th Iowa in fantry during the war, and lost an arm in the service.

And our own Lincoln Jour nal suggests that the matter- be brought to the attention of the next legislature aud an appropriation made to encourage the culture of sunflowers. A report comes from Southton, Mo., that small-pox has broken out there and the anxiety is so great about its spreading that the public echools have been closed. The number of deaths is not stated. The same dis ease prevails in the little town of St. Peters, where a dozen or more deaths have occurred. Thos. Collyer and his wife have been poisoned at Long Island City, L. I. The brother and sister of Mrs. Collyer have been arrested for the crime, the motive of which is alledged to be the possession of $1,500 left by their father, who died mysteriously some time ago, and whose body will now be exhumed. Senator Van Wyck keeps up a steady fire at the railroads. Here is another shot from him : Resolved, That the secretary of the interior inform the senate whether the Union Pacific company has issued any new stock or made any mortgage, pledge, lease, running arrangement or other traffic contract since March 3, 1873. Agreed to. The dwelling of William Morrison, of Pocahontas county, West Va., was burned the other night at a late hour. Morrison and wife escaped with four children who were sleeping in the room with their parents, but two girls, aged 7 and 11, sleeping in an other room were roasted alive before their parents eyes. Recent news from Cairo to London says the Khedive had a telegram from Baker Pasha, regarding his defeat near Tokan. His losses were 2,000 men, four Krupp cannon and two Gattliug guns. The Turks and Euro peans fought well. Baker Pasha will return at once to Saukim with the remainder of his troops. A petition was presented the other day in the senate signed by 6,000 citi zens of the District of Columbia, and other petitions signed by a large nnmber of citizens of the territories of Washington, Dakota and Idaho, all praying for the enactment of a law prohibiting(the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors in the District and territories. State Senator Terrell, of Aus tin, Texas, received the other day an anonymous letter threatening that, if free grass is interfered with by the legislature, all waters in the state of Texas inclosed by pastures will be poisoned. The letter has created a sensation, in view of the mysterious sweeping off of a number of cattle in certain sections of the state. Report comes from Reading, Pa., that a sleighing party containing twenty-seven ladies upset the other day on a crooked hill. Some of the women were thrown down the moun tain side and others trampled by the horses. Mrs. Hummel bad her nose broken and face badly cut Three others were seriously injured about the head and others badly bruised. The house committee on public lands has decided to report a bill de claring the forfeiture of the eutire land grants of the Oregon Central railroad, a line proposed between Astoria and Portland. The forfeit ures will be declared on the ground that the main line of the road, for which the grant was made, was never constructed. There were 1,480,000 acres in the grant. A recent statement comes from Cairo that Baker Pasha with 1,000 troops landed at Triukitat and an ad ditional body of $2,000 had landed since completing the force for the re lief of Tokar. It is stated that there are nearly 20,000 rebels in Trinkitat and Tokar. The rebels were massing seven miles distant. Small bodies of the enemv aDDro&ched within A.ot( ......... ,,, yards of camp and were shelled by the British gunboats. After talking with quite a number of prominent and representative re publicans in the Third congressional district, respecting the manner of selecting delegates to the National republican convention, we arc satis fied that the dominant sentiment is in favor of an independent district con vention at a convenient and suitable point in the district. The idea of a state convention for this purpose does not seem to meet with much favor ouUide of Omaha. Grand Island Times. The same sentiment prevails pretty unanimously up in these parts, Mr. Times.miigh Advocate. A frightful gasoline explosion occurred in F. M. Orr's stove and tin store, at Alliance, Ohio, the other afternoon, leveling to the ground two brick blocks, one on each side, suc cumbed to the shock, while others further on were badly injured, and burying in the rains an unknown number of people. It is rumored that the accident occurred by a child turn ing the spigot of the gasoline -tank, and the gass escaping was ignited by the fire in the stove. A train on the Indianapolis aud Chicago air line' met with a terrible accident at Broad Ripple,- Ind., the other day. The trestle bridge at that point is perhaps 150 feet in height, and the train while crossing crushed the bridge, the baggage car, smoking car and one coach dropping through and piling up in a mass at the foot of the piers; the portion above water took fire and six persons were either killed or burned to death and a num ber of others badly injured. The presidential canvass in Nebras ka is beginning. The Alma Tribune speaks out for Logan, and the Beat rice Express making comment, says : "To all appearances Logan stands an even chance with any other candi date who may throw down the gaunt let for the Nebraska delegation. The Express, however, is not prepared just now to say that Mr. Logan, or Mr.Blaln, or Mr. Arthur is the best or most available candidate for Ne braska republicans -to unite upon. Good feeling, and a disposition to agree upon the best man, every way considered, is the proper thing at present." Farmer Sprague of Hunter's Point, L. I., was murdered the other morn ing by an unknown mnlatto, iu his barn, where he went for the purpose of feeding bis stock and milking the cows. He then went to the house and struck Mrs. Sprague one blow and demanded money. She told him to get it out of the drawer and then ran screaming ont of the house and gave the alarm. The murderer became alarmed and fled, but was subsequent ly caught and jailed by the farmers. Physicians give no hope of Mrs. Spraguo's recovery. The President gave a reception to the public on the evening of the 5th. Mrs. McElroy on his right and next to her members of the cabinet. ' The public entered in largo .numbers, and while the crowd was passing in a delegation of Flat Head Indians were conducted to the parlor, and after shaking bands with the "Great Fa ther" formed in lino opposite the president and hiB lady friends where they stood for half an hour looking with great curiosity at the presiden tial party, but saying not a word. The number in attendance was fully as great as ever appeared at any presi dential reception. Vax Wyck is one of the most con specuous men in the United States Senate to-day. He never lets an im portant measure pass without having something to say favorable or unfa vorable. While we differ with him on some questions, we are not foolish enough to question the honest im pulses that make him see some things in a different light. The anti-Van Wyck papers may say what they please against him, but Nebraska has never had a man in the senate that was worth half as much to the state as he has been. Until he does wrong in the sight of a majority of the re publican electors, we shall say "Go in Van Wyck." Auburn Jiepublican. Gov. Murray, of Utah, has got be fore an investigating committee of the honse of representatives on char ges brought by Representative White, of Kentucky. The evidence before the committee showed that while Gov. Murray was U. S. marshal of Kentucky the government bad been wronged out of thousands of dollars through unnecessary, frivolous and fictitious prosecutions of citizens, some of whom were taken from re mote parts of the state all the way to Louisville before post commissioners, who heard their cases on preliminary examination apparently for no other reason than to make costs, thus em bittering the citizens against the gov ernment. Washington, Feb. 4. Mr. Van Wyck introduced a resolution, which was agreed to, providing that no div idends shall hereafter be mado by the Union Pacific railroad company but from the actual net earnings thereof, and no new stock shall be issued or mortgages or pledges be made on the property or net earnings of the com pany without leave of congress ex cept for the purpose of funding or securing debts now existing or the renewal thereof, and any-director or officer who shall pay or declare, or aid in paying or declaring any divi dend or creating any mortgage or pledge prohibited by this act, Bball be punished by imprisonment not ex ceeding two years and a fine not exceeding $5,000. The committee appointed at the recent convention of colored voters of Illinois and known as the "colored men's state central committee of the state of Illinois," has issued a call to the colored voters in the states of Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Mich igan, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut and the District of Colombia for a conference at Pittsburg April 29, 1884, to unite in an appeal to the loyal and patriotic sentiment of the country to speedily and effectually determine whether, in time of peace, the ques tions of public concern are to be set tled by ballot or by bullet in other words, whether the "shot-gun policy now in vogue in the south is to be recognized and sanctioned as a legiti mate mode of political warfare." The address declares that the conference will also consider a line of policy for the colored voters to pursue in the next national canvass. A New Jersey editor, after giving Roscoc Conkliog a very flattering puff, wrote to that gentlemau suggest ing that it ouly needed the influence of Mr. Conkling to secure the nomi nation of Arthur. Mr. Conkling re plied : "When the Persian embassy was about to take leave- of the Grecian court, once in olden time, they asked and received some message from' each' of the personages present. When the turn of Zeno came he said: -'-'Tell your master that you saw a gray haired old man in Athens who knew enough to hold bis tongue.' Please ascribe to my admiration for Zeno and bis teachings my silence touching your forecast of my action in- the politics of the future." The Secretary of State has submit ted a communication to the President relating to the exclusion of American hog products from foreign countries, which gives a detailed history of the exclusion of American meats from France, Germany and other European countries. The communication con clusively shows the entire healthful nesB of the pork product of America and that the exclusion from foreign countries was the work of prejudice or personal interest. The whole sub ject is being investigated by the .ex ecutive of this nation, and some peo ple may fiud out before the .investi gation close? that the AmericaiphogT is about the largest aud best ,porkeV in the world, and made so ''by; the" attention given him in youth, with an abundance of healthful food before put into market. The Mirer CeBreaftteM. - The Mississippi delegate conven tion met in Washington on the 5th inst., and organized by the election of the following officers : President, E. O. Stannard, St.Louis. Vice presidents from seventeen states, including Hon. Frank Ransom of Nebraska. Secretary, George L. Wright, St. Louis. Assistant Secretaries, John W. Bry ant, New Orleans. D. F. Wilcox, Illinois. S. L. McHenry, Pennsylvania. C. A. Lounsberry, Dakota. Stannard addressed the convention. Ho said the delegates were neither republicans or democrats, but both, when the objects of this convention were in view. They were not here to button hole congressmen, but to express favor for cheap transportation and to see that these great national waterways wjore made the moans of transportation for the products of the country. Some other business was transacted among which was a motion adopted thanking the president for his two special messages to congress, embod ying tiis broad and statesmanlike view ou the improvement of the Mis sissippi river. Adjourned. When the convention reassembled on the Cth the delegates poured! in resolutions on the chair, which were referred to the committee on. resolu tions. A large American flag was brought into the hall and saluted with boister ous applause. It was unfurled and placed behind the president's chair. Lowry, of Missouri, took the floor and made a lengthy speech on cheap transportation. He said this conven tion did not come to Washington to petition congress, but to instruct the young democracy and the young re publicans of the Mississippi valley. The speaker declared : "I will 'not follow any party that will not advo cate the policy of cheap transporta tion." The party, he said that offers the most substantial proof of its ad herence to these principles would surely win the next national cam paign. Mr. Turner, of Tennessee, made a strong speech in denunciation of the spirit of intolerance formerly shown towards projects for national im provements iu the south. His speech was filled with quaint and humorous remarks and created shouts of laugh ter and applause. Board of SaperviserM. Febbuaby 5, 1884. Board met at 1 p. m. Full board present. On motion of Sup.
