It will not do, gentlemen ; you are altogether too kindly disposed. Gebtie Phillips, aged 18 years, was found dead in a grove a quarter of a mile south of Salineville, Ohio, the other night, with a buttlet hole over her left eye. Two young men, Hunter and Parish, have been arrest ed for the crime. Recently has been finished 80 miles of the Chicago cut-off of the Burlington & Missouri river railroad, located between Kenesaw and Oxford, the entire line being in Nebraska, and passing through a beautiful and fertile prairie coun try. The town hall at Wayne, Neb., oc cupied by the county offices was burned the other night.

At Marseilles one night last week sixteen deaths were reported by cholera and twenty persons taken to the hospital.

Martin Hill and D. S.

A very severe wind storm swept over Macon, Sangamon and Christian counties, central portions of Illinois, tho other night, damaging several farm houses badly, while barns and out-houses were carried away, and corn and wheat crops are utterly ruined, as claimed. Fremont, Neb., has organized a rousing Blaine and Logan club having at the first meeting one hundred and thirty signers. The oldest and most reliable and prom inent citizens have joined the club, and propose to make au active and successful campaign. Three children named Hains, liv ing near the Kingman county line, KanBas, were burned to death the other day. The mother left the children at home while she went to a neighbor's on an errard.

It is said the trick in Kansas to evade the liquor law is, to have an obscure room slocked with drink and give keys to all customers. They enter at pleasure, get their drink, and deposit the cash in a box. No one iB seen to receive the money, and hence the great difficulty of convic tion. In a suit for breach of promise tried the other day in England, the defendant's counsel asked the fair plaintiff: "Did my client enter into a positive agreement to marry you?" "Well, not exactly," she replied, "but he courted me a good deal, and told my sister he intended to marry into our family." A water spout fell in Madison county, Ark., last week covering a radius of nearly twenty miles and causing the White river to overflow its banks. Three women and three children were drowned in Richland creek and several houses swept away near Huntsville. Tho crops in many places are ruined. The forty-eighth congress ad journed without day Monday of last week. Among the last acts of the house, on motion of Mr. Wolford, the bill was passed increasing the pension of soldiers who have lost an arm at tho shonlder-joint to the amount received by those who have lost a leg at the hip-joint. About 10,000 bills and resolutions were introduced during the last session of congress, and it is said that only 170 became laws. Law making under the rules adopted by congress to govern its action is about the slowest business transacted1 in anv department of the government, and should undergo a change in this gay of intelligence and raason. Blaise am the Irish. There is nothing transpires in this world of design that has not an ade quate cause. The domain of politics is no exception to this general rulo. Ever since Blaine and Logan's nomi nation there has been an increasing accession of Irishmen who will sup port the ticket, and many old-time politicians who have considered that nationality in this country as solidly democratic, in any event, are opening their eyes to the situation. We only reiterate what is in everybody's mouth when we say that Blaine is an intense American citizen, meaning by that that he prefers the welfare of bis country above that of every other, and this sentiment is uppermost with the thousands of foreign-born citizens who have adopted this country and this government and chosen this as their home above all other countries. Patriotism is a most noble virtue, and the ardent Irish nature has shown its intense love for this country on many a battle field. Men of all par ties are bound to admire patriotic feeling, whenever and wherever man ifested, whether on the platform in the advocacy of rights, in the halls of legislation in furtherance of the pub lic welfare, or in the discharge of duty as public officials. The foreign born citizen who has come to this country from choice, come to better his condition and provide for the future of his children, come to enjoy with us tho blessings of civil and religious liberty, knows that he has exactly the same rights as tho native born citizen, and feels the same in terest in national matters, with this added, that he desires, naturally, that the country of his adoption Bball in all things justify his choice. Blaine has always shown an inde pendent mind, a patriotic spirit, rear ed in the Henry Clay school of statesmen who believe in America, against tho world if necessary ; in tho development of our vast natural re sources to our own advantage and advancement; to this end, in the pro tection of every branch of American industry as against the adverso in terests of foreign countries; in the expression of heartfelt sympathy with struggling humanity wherever trod deu under foot by despotic govern ment or by grinding custom. Such is Blaine, and such is the party of which ho is the standard bearer in this campaign, and this is a partial explanation of what is set forth in the following from the Dublin Tree man: "Blaine has been always a steady champion of the Irish, aud what is nearly as good a stout opponent of HriliBn interests. His conduct, es pecially in 1867-68, will be long and gratefully remembered by Irishmen. When, in 1877, Augustus Costello was arrested in Ireland for a 'treasonable' speech delivered by him in New York two years previously, and sentenced to fifteen years penal servitude, Blaine, who was a Republican leader in congress, made a series of power ful speeches in his behalf aud in behalf of Gen. D. B. Burke and oth ers, which eventually succeeded in securing their liberation. The Irish men had their papers of American citizenship in their possession, but they were disregarded as a defense, or as a protection against British law, and this aroused much excitement and indignation in the states. Blaine's advocacy induced congress to demand the release of the Fenians from Eng lish custody, and when the British cabinet refused, on the strength of the then existing treaty, the United States government threatened repri sals with respect to British subjects then in the states. England, being well frightened, caved in, as became her, and Costollo, Burke, and the rest were released. The triumph was mainly due to tho masterly advocacy of Blaine, and the leaning he then showed toward Irishmen has not since relaxed. Should the decision of the autumn election rest upon Blaine, we may he sure that the states will be governed" during the next four years by a genuine friend of the Irish cause." The Democracy. The national convention of the dem ocratic party met at Chicago Tuesday of last week and was called to order by Chairman Barnum of the centra committee. Hubbard of Texas was selected as temporary chairman. Tho first victory for the Cleveland forces was a holding to the tradi tional two-thirds rule of the party, against tho effort of Tammany to have it put aside. Col. W. F. Vilas of Wisconsin was selected as permanent chairman. Tho names placed in nomination were Bayard, McDonald, Thurman, Carlisle, Cleveland, Hoadly, Randall and Hendricks. The platform was then adopted, a very lengthy document. The convention then proceeded to ballot, the first resulting as follows : Cleveland 310 I Bayard 171 Thurman 89 I Randall 80 McDonald 50 Carlisle 27 On the second ballot which was taken Friday morning Cleveland was nominated, the recorded vote stand ing: Cleveland 083 Hendricks 464 McDonald 2 Bayard SI Thurman 4 Randall 4 On reassembling in the afternoon Hendricks was unanimously nomi nated as vice president. The Congressional Record of June 23d, contains some Interesting read ing from Senator Van Wyck in re gard to the relations of tho govern ment with the Pacific railroads. Every man who desires to be posted on current events should get a copy and give it a careful reading. Our senior Senator has represented Ne braska sentiment admirably on this and other subjects upon which ho has spoken in the United States senate, and it illy becomes such newspapers as the Omaha Republican and the Lincoln Journal to be continually, in season and out, on any and every occasion, vilifying the able senator. The only-adequate reason imaginable for their conduct that we can think of is that the Senator utters, utters strongly and endeavors to have executed the will of the people con cerning the railroads.

Many of their highest dignitaries in this part of the country woro presont, including H. J. Hudson, Grand Mas ter for Nebraska, Samuel McCIay, Grand Treasurer, D. A. Cline, of Lincoln, Grand Secretary, and Arthur Gibson, Grand Warden. All these were in full regalia. The grand ritual was followed in all its most impressive details, and the universal voice of the multitude in attendance was, "well done !" One side of the corner stone bears the inscription, "Founded by the citizens of Fremont;" the other "This stone was laid July 4th, 1884." In-as-much as the contractor is under heavy bonds to have tho Col lego completed in time for the fall term to begin, Oct. 2Lat, he would not delay the work for this ceremony on tho Fourth, so, a the walls of the main building are up in places to tho floor of tho third story, the corner stone was laid on the north-east corner of tho cast projection. The above engraving shows the main exterior features of the building, but is on too small a scale to present the finer details, such as the belting courses, ornamental hoods over chapel entrances, porticos over main entrance, cornice, and tower finish. These details as well as the general plan reflect great credit on tho Omaha architect, who has so ad mirably adapted tho building to its purpose Its extreme ground dimensions east aud west are ab .it 75 feet, and north aud south, nearly 60 feet. The building will be throe stories in height, tho tower will contain four stories and its extreme height will be nearly 80 feot. There will bo four teen rooms devoted to lecture and recitation purposes, art and music, besides the principal's rooms, and double parlors. Tin; furniture and apparatus of the new institution are to be of the best desci iptions for the use intended. Convention Note. The Randall folks were well pleased with Cleveland, who was their second choice. The physical disability of Tildeu, made the ticket this time Cleveland and Hendricks. The gloomiest man was Henry Watterson, the head of tho McDonald boom, who was badly "left." Senator Grady said that Tammany would not bolt, for they were Demo crats, but they might not work hard for success. Tammany was not pleased with the result. Kelly says that had he not feared that Cleveland could not carry New York he should not have opposed his nomination. Cleveland is undoubtedly Tildeu's candidate for the party, aud tho old man's management of the nominating campaign has been very shrewd, his letter of declination being timed to suit Cleveland's success. The Pacific coast is not happy, tho Californiaus wanting Thurman, aud being very enthusiastic for him. The anti-monopoly element of the party generally arc not feeling highly pleased with Cleveland, but would have been overwhelmed with joy by the nomination of Thurman. The Chicago Herald thinks that Cleveland was very fortunate in hav ing Tammany Hali as an enemy, saying that if tho dissatisfaction of tho working and Irish people of New York with Cleveland had presented itself on its own bottom, naturally and honestly, that gentleman could never have been nominated; that Tammany was made tho scapegoat for all his shortcomings, tho conven tion suspecting that Cleveland's un popularity and non-availibility were largely manufactured for the occasion by Tammany. The republican central congres sional committee met at Fremont on the 9th, with twenty-five counties represented, B. R. Cowdery being present from Platte. Chairman Tiffa ny of Boone called tho committco to order and C. C. Robison of Howard was elected secretary. The congres sional convention was called for August 20tb, to meet at Columbus at 4 o'clock p. in. Columbus was se lected by a unanimous vote, on mo tion of J. O. West of Hall count)', and doubtless tho fact is mainly due to tho efforts of our committeeman, Mr. Cowdery. This will be a large and interesting convention, repre senting, as it does, nearly the whole north Platte country. Hekby Richards, one of the leading citizens of tho county, is au Irishman, and has heretofore been a democrat. In a conversation on Saturday he stated that he should this fall vote for Blaine and Logan. Ho also said that numerous others of the Irish citizens of Dixon county wonld do the s imc. Their views are like those which Hon. John Brennan expressed in a recent letter to the Western Celt. Ponca Journal Fkemoxt, Neb., was visited on the morning of the 3d by a hard wind storm, which blew down many small buildings and demolished 'some others. Fences were blown down or" mashed by falling limbs of trees, chimneys blown down, lightning rods twisted from their places, windows blown in and shutters torn from their binges and scattered. The court house was unroofed, the walls partly falling in, and it is almost a complete wreck. The now part of Eno's hotel was uuroofed aud part nf the south wall blown down. A tkkkihle storm struck Sioux City, la., on the evening of the 4th, scattering small buildings and raising oue larsre brick building from its foundation ; other largo buildings wero blown over and destroyed. The Catholic bell tower was blown down and the walls of the church badly damaged, so as to mako the building unsafe. Many trees went down and the streets were filled with brauches. Tho most damage was done in the southeastern suburbs, where the plow factory, a large brick building, was entirely destroyed. It is now reported that tho cholera has passed from France to Germany, having made its appearance at Con stance, in the duchy of Baden. It is predicted by Dr. Koch, an eminent German physician, that the prospect of the spread of the disease all over Europe was hourly more certain, and that perhaps it would ultimately reach America. The reason assigned for the latter statement is found in the fact that London is crowded with Americans who have been frightened out of France, aud will soon return home. The gentlemanly editor of the Nor folk Journal calls those republicans who don't like Church Howe "Ne braska dogs," and advises them to "get back into their kennels." Tho gallant and war-liko "colonel" should be obeyed. The "Nebraska dogs" must not bark without looking to this imported Hawkoye brave for per mission. O'Neill Frontier. Church Howe is likewise one of the railroad republicans. Ilaraphrey. Farmers aro busy harvesting. Twine binders aro tho rage aud Newell South has disposed of about thirty and most all are in tho field at present. Who will bo the parly to publish a book, the life of Cleveland, aud will it bo written by Hon. John Kelly of New York ? Mr. M. C. Bloedoru has finished his hall, being a large building of G0x22 ft. ; it is being occupied by A. O. U. W., G. A. R. and for lectures, band meetings, etc. The stoue and lumber are on the grounds for the new Methodist church; wo expect to soon see the building looming up as a useful orna ment for Humphroy. Mr. W. M. Mason has brought to us a specimen of timothy grown by him, which clearly proves to us that cultivated grass will bo successfully raised in Nebraska, in some not dis tant day. Our townsman, W. Schelbacher, has been saving his wino for this time' it seems; your correspondent had a samplo of it this morning tho occa sion of celebration being the advent of a small girl into his family. Wen die says he is happy, but wished it was a boy. On hearing of the nomination of the democrats at Chicago there was a Cleveland boom firing of pistols and anvils and music by the band ; there being a fair sprinkling of Blaine and Logan men in tho crowd, the hurrahs wero somewhat divided between Cleveland, Blaine and Logan and oth ers, some of our home hoys. The next morning something was said about tho nomination and a promi nent democrat wanted to know who was nominated and whero ho was from, etc. C. Lost Creek Item.
