Work on the new State Asylum at
Norfolk, Neb., will begin right away.
The Iowa Republicans have nomi
nated Senator W. H. Larabee of
Fayette connty, for governor.
The treasury department at Wash
ington haB paid out during the month
of August about $10,000,000 on ac
count of pensions.
Three thousand six hundred and
sixty-nine new cases of cholera were
reported one day last week in Spain
and 1,120 deaths the same day.
It appears that a desire for peaco
between England and Russia is now
surmounting all difficulties, and that
an amicable settlement is assured.
A French journal published at
Paris demands that England dismiss
from the British army the officer who
signed the -offer of reward for the
head of Oliver Paine.
Nebraska is Baid now to have
about 250,000 acres of growing for
ests, in which have been planted
more than 12,000,000 fruit trees. No
wonder the rain belt is moving west.
It is said that the old site of the
town of Chadron, that a month ago
numbered over a hundred houses) is
now unincumbered prairie, where
snarling coyotes hold nightly sere
nades. Three companies of troopu were
sent last week to Rock Springs,
Wyoming, the scene of the anti
Chinese demonstration, to protect
public property should such protec
tion become jiecessary.
The white houBe at Washington
City was re-opened one day laBt
week to the public. The building
has been cleansed and renovated dur
ing the absence of the president, and
is now ready or his retnrn.
It is claimed that a letter has been
reeeived at St. Louis, from C. A.
Preller, who was supposed to have
been murdered by Maxwell in the
Southern hotel. The writer asserts
himself to bo Preller and says he
will appear at the proper time.
An unknown man abont forty
years old, and a tramp, was found
dead the other day near Inland, Neb.
No marks tending to point to a vio
lent death were fonnd, and the jury
returned a verdict that he came to
his death from causes to them un
known. A recent report comes from New
Mexico that the southern Utes in that
territory were in a starving condi
tion. These are the same Indians
that a few weeks ago were reported
to be without food and in a starving
condition. It is said that temporary
relief was afforded them by drawing
on military stores.
The Ku-TClux have commenced
tboir diabolical work again in Geor
gia. The other night near Dalton, a
party of armed men broke into the
house of a negro named Perry, and
severely beat him and compelled him
to leave the county. The alleged
offence charged against him was that
he had slandered a young lady.
The latest news from London states
that Germany will not surrender the
Carolines. There have been held in
several cities of France and Spain
imposing meetings to protest against
the action of Germany on this sub
ject The mayors of Barcelona and
Valencia returned Germany the cross
es with which they have been honored.
The latest swindle relating to spu
rious money is the plit, bank note
fraud. A $20 bank note is taken, and
by some ingenious method the note
is split in two, and the raw side is
"doctored op," and each half is passed
off as a genuine $20 note. The work
is done so artistically in most cases
that it is difficult at first to detect the
fraud.
The other night at Hastings some
villains had placed a dynamite bomb
in the hallway directly in front of the
main entrauce to T. Bender's barber
shop. The inmates of the bnilding
were considerably shaken up and the
doors and walls shattered. What the
motive of the perpetrators was can
not be comprehended. The police are
working dilligently to ferret out the
villains.
When Mr. Gladstone reached
Aberdeen, Scotland, the other day, be
was met by an enormous crowd and
accorded a popular ovation. He will
remain here a few days as the guest
of his brother before proceeding to
hit own residence at Hawardea. He
has agreed to return to Aberdeen
ome time in October and make a
political address to the electors of
Aberdeen.
A Warlike Claw.
Recent news from Madrid reports
a sensation caused there by. the re
ceipt of important news from the
Caroline Islands. The Spanish war
ships reached Yap, one of the islands,;
on the 21st ult, and occupied it la. the
name of Spain. The Spanish officers
were dilatory in landing troops. On
the'24th the German gun-boat arrived.
Although it was seven o'clock in the
evening, the German commander in
stantly landed a body of marines and
sailors and hoisted the German flag
over the Island. The Sanlsh officers
made an energetic protest against
this action, and on the latter's refusal
to recede from the position, telegraph
ed to Madrid for instructions. By
noon the excitement over the German
occupation of Tap was intense, and
the populace furious with rage. A
large crowd gathered in front of the
German embassy, attacked the build
ing, tore down the coat of arms and
dragged it through the streets to
Puerto Del Sol, where they burned it
in front of the offices of the ministers
of the interior, with yells of "Down
with Germany." Additional news
states that the mob smashed the win
dows of the embassy bnilding ; com
pletely wrecked the bnilding, and
dashed the furniture to pieces. The
situation appears to be very critical,
but unless a proper explanation is
made by the Spanish authorities and
the insult to the German minister and
flag atoned for, war may possibly be
the final result.
The Caroline Islands, sometimes
called New Philippines, are one of
the great archipelagos of Oceanica,
included within ten degrees north
latitude, east of the Philippine Islands
and north of Papua; Yap, is due
south from Japan. The Carolines
were discovered by the Spaniard
Lopes de Yillalobos in 1543, and they
were so named in honor of Charles V,
Willie Willis, Mrs. Walkup's
cousin, who has been confined in jail
at Emporia, Kas., since the day Mr.
Walknp died, implicated in his death
with Mrs. Walknp, was the other day
released. He is represented as a very
excitable young man,, and says the
Emporia officers will learn a point or
two before they are through with
him. Mrs. Walkup ever since she
was arrested charged with the mur
der of her husband in the first degree,
was quite composed, and when on
her preliminary hearing she ap
peared and pleaded not guilty she
was as composed and easy in her
demeanor as if the incident was one
of the most common place in her ex
perience. After the examination was
continned she returned to the sher
iff's apartments in the basement of
the court bouse, where she has lived
as one of the family since she was
taken to jail, except that she sleeps
at night in a female prison room in
the upper story, to which she has had
her elegant ward-robe removed.
Her own side of the case has not been
heard in evidence. This case when
it comes to trial will elicit more than
ordinary interest, especially among
the legal profession.
The details of the result of the ter
rible and destructive floods which
recently occurred in Canton, China,
and vicinity, in which more than
10,000 persons lost their lives and a
far greater number are left in a starv
ing condition, while entire villages
were engulfed, and the rice and silk
crops were almost ruined, really read
more like a tale of fiction than a mat
ter of fact. The streets of Canton
were flooded for over a week. In
some places parents tied their chil
dren on high branches of trees while
they instituted measures for their
general safety. The trees were wash
ed up by the roots and the heartrend
ing cries of the children were silenced
in the surging water. The suffering
which thousands are euduring is
heartrending, parents replying with
tears in their eyes to their children's
request for food, that they have none.
News recently reached Cheyenne,
from Rock Springs stating that a bad
Btato of affairs existed there. Every
Chinaman, over 500 in number, had
oeen driven out of town. Fifteen
dead Chinamen had been found and
as many more dead bodies are prob
ably in the ruins. Fifty houses be
longing the railroad company and
fifty more owned by Chinamen were
burned. The Chinamen are in the
hills west of Rock Spiings, afraid to
go to Green River, distant about ten
miles. Gov. Warren, Superintend
ents Wurtele and Dickinson were at
Rock Springs when this report was
made. Food will be sent to the
starving Chinamen in the hills by the
authorities. No more disturbance is
anticipated.
Ik the district court at Dubuque,
Iowa, the other -day Judge Couch
granted a petition for the removal of
forty injunction cases brought by the
prohibitionists against saloon keepers
from the state to the federal -court.
The attorneys of the saloon keepers
petitioned for such removal on the
grounds that under prohibition.whfch I
the stato supremo court has declared
in full' force, a saloon keeper can be
deprived of the rights guaranteed him
by the act of congress known as the
"civil rights law" and by the consti
tution of the United States and its
amendments, especially the Four
teenth. Trial by jury and so called
civil rights are those referred to. This
decision of Judge Couch will remove
these cases to the U. S. district court
to be held at Dubuque, in November.
The decision is very important as
being the first of the kind made in the
state and thereby establishing a precedent.

Charles Fields, sr., a man over
85 years of age, and who has been in
business in Philadelphia for over
fifty years, was the other day vic
timized out of $9,500 by a brace of
bunko steerera in Atlantic City, N.
J. After playing some time the
bunko men coolly asked the old gen
tleman for his check for $9,500, drawn
to himself as collateral for -a grand
prize be had drawn on the sweat
board. A check was filled out and
Mr. Fields signed it. The check was
on the Pennsylvania National Bank,
of Philadelphia. Later in the day
Mr. Fields realized that he had been
swindled and started out to find the
house, but was unable to do so. It is
thought there that the bunko man
carried the check to New York and
negotiated it at a large discount.
m
Another step has been taken in
the Walkup poisoning case at Em
poria, Kansas, by the sworn cer
tificate of Wm. Jones, professor of
chemistry in the Kansas City' Medi
cal college, who has made a careful
analysis of the stomach, one kidney,
a portion of intestines and a portion
of the blood, and says he has dis
covered therein arsenic in apprecia
ble quantities, but no traces of mer
cury ; that arsenic was discovered in
both portions of the liver and con
tents of the stomach; The coroner's
jury was still in session and had
called on Mrs. Wallace, mother of
Mrs. Walkop, to give her testimony.
Mr. Bell, a wronged husband, has
been searching for his truant wife for
the past two years. She left Lubee,
Maine, the same time that W. E.
Lakeman disappeared, leaving behind
himself and two children, and Lake-
man leaving a wife and five children.
Mr. Bell, during bis search, has about
spent all his money, but he considers
the result worth the cost. Boston
officers arrested the other day W. E.
Lakeman and Mrs. Olive Boll the
truant husband and wife. When
Lakeman was arrested he was wear
ing a watch and chain which belonged
to Bell, but had been carried off by
his wife.
A mysterious double murder was
committed the other night at Geneva,
Kane county, III., the victims being

heart, and his revolver, five chambers,
empty, lying near him. Several
rods away, was found officer Grant
on the sidewalk, also with a bullet
hole in the breast, still breathing
slightly but unconscious, and died on
the road while taking him home. No
clue to the person or persons who
committed the crime.

Four masked men the other night
entered a train and robbed the passen
gers on the Chicago and Alton road at
Blue Springs station, twenty miles
from Kansas City. They commanded
passengers to give up their money, at
the same time levelling revolvers at
their heads. A goodly number of
small sums were handed over and one
passenger in his excitement handed
over bis purse which contained $23.
The robbers took whatever was
ouereu ana made no atfemnf at
searching the passengers for money
or jewelry. Becoming suddenly
alarmed, they left the train before
tbev gof through witb their work,

proper charge was made against her
and bail refused, she was remanded
to her cell.. Mrs. Jarrett was accom
panied to the police station by a sister
or the balvation Army. Summonses
have been granted for alleged com
plicity in the case against Mr. Stead
of the Gazette, Gen. Bootb, of the
Salvation Army, and others.
A report comes from Black Moun
tain, North Carolina, of one or two
shocks resembling an earthquake. A
party of men camped on a bluff near
Lenoir, while preparing dinner felt
the bluff quake several times, "this
being accompanied by low, rumbling
noises. The shocks were sufficiently
severe to dislodge bowlders of enor
mous size, which thundered down
the mountain side. Watanga river, a
rapid otream at the foot of the bluff,
was noticed to roll up great billows,
like a sea in heavy wind.

Dictation) la Politics.
Editor Journal: It is all well
enough, perhapB, when yonpg, intel
ligent and enthusiastic republican
editors and publishers of Nebraska
newspapers feel the great weight of
the responsibility resting upon them,
especially that they conceive it to be
their imperative duty to dictate to
the party at large, whom they shall
place upon their Township, County
and State committees, to manage aud
direct the party in its political con
tests, and also to dictate whom the
republicans of the State shall nomi
nate and vote for to fill the various
Township, County, State and United
States offices; this is a weighty res
ponsibility, and one that time will
disclose to be quite beyond the reach
even of those whose actions have
always tallied with the strict princi
ples or the republican party, and
whose foot-prints have never been
discovered on minor occasions in the
forbidden paths of voting for, and
with avowed democrats. Connnel
given by an editor of a newspaper
in a proper spirit, as one of the peo
ple, is about as far as the voting citi
zens of the State are willing he
should go and be patiently listened to,
bnt when they assume the authority
and weighty responsibility of dictat
ing to the voters of the State who,
shall be their committeemen and pub
lic officers, whom the electors and
voters have the excloaive right to ap
point and elect, the voters spurn the
dictation as coming from a would-be
autocrat and not a true republican.
Every republican, from the highest
office holder to the humblest voter
in the State, most take his chances
for friends or self for promotion and
place and cheerfully submit to the
majority but dictation from individ
uals, all freemen will look upon with
resentment. I have particular refer
ence to Fred. Nye's recent article
against Van Wyck republicans.

Hear Cholera, er, What Is It?
I have read your valuable journal
nearly two years, and can say that we
can't do without it. My wife thinks
as much of reading "Our Letter
Box" in the Journal as I do. I
would like to give a little experience
in the way of treatment for hog
cholera, or this dreaded hog disease.
It has been close to me ever since last
fall, its first appearance. It seemed
to kill about all the hogs in the
neighborhood. Having a little herd
of Poland-Chinas I did not feel safe,
so I went to .experimenting. By
dissecting cholera bogs and examin
ing with a microscope I found little
parasites In their stomachs, extend-
Ing throngh the intestines ; their size
varying one-half inch in length to
those not discernible with the naked
eye. Then I went to work. I bad
found ont the cause. I closely
watched a herd of 80 head that had
just commenced dying. I placed all
of the sick ones by themselves and
commenced feeding both to the sick
ones and well ones 15 drops of car
bolic acid, 15 of turpentine, 20 of
copperas. I then wait 24 hours and
give lard for physic, it seems to give
them just what the disease needs. It
is healiBg to the bowels and also
moves them. If they refuse to eat I
take a small piece of gas pipe and put
it in their month and make them eat
it. I have found out one thing you
may give tbem medicine and not the
grease ana iney win me wnn con
stipation of the bowel, but give this
medicine and oil, or lard, as directed
and I don't think yoa- will lose any
hogs. I lost three hogs oat of 80. I
dissected in a number of herds and
they were all alike. These worms
eat through the bowels and I have
fouad them ia the bladder. Another
thing I observed, was, all of the
dropping before I gave this medicine
were covered with blood and mncas
from tke small intestines, aid covered

A surveying party sent to this city
by the U. P. Co. were at work sur
veying the town two or three daya
last week.
The census gives our city 37, but
not 37,000 inhabitants and yet a mo
tion was made to organize a Board of
Trade. Will give further particulars
in the future.
The next thing of general interest
is the organization of a frog club, with
Mr. A. Mainfrog, Mr. B. Yicefrog,
Mr. C. Moneyfrog, Mr. D. Writefrog.
The meeting adjourned with a gen
eral quak, quak, quak.
The farmers are now making hay,
which has grown in great abundance
and a largo surplus is ready for other
markets, a good chance for a hay
press. Threshing has also begun,
and in nearly all cases the separator
don't knock out so many bushels as
expected. The "turn-out" ia below
the guess, this year. S.

question of the adoption or rejection
of Town Organization, at tho next
general election, and the law requires
a petition of one-third of the legal
voters of the county to submit the
question. The friends of organization
say that we have adopted organiza
tion and worked under its laws near
ly two years, and where the laws are
defective, to have them amended;
that town organization is the best
form of government, and should be
upheld. The other party says that ita
adoption was not a trne and under
stood vote of the people ; that many
did not know or understand the
nature or workings of the proposition,
therefore remained silent and did not
vote, pro or con, on the proposition,
but allowed it to go by default, and
are therefore compelled to pay nearly
double tax and have fewer benefits
for the money; that the law seems
inoperative and defective, and the
legislators eeem indisposed to remedy
or mature the laws from the apparent
reasoa that but few counties in the
state have adopted Town Organiza
tion, therefore that thore is not now
or will be sufficient pressure brought
to bear to warrant any future help.
Therefore say, let us drop it. Now if
these are the facts, there can be no
harm in submitting the question again
as it will cost nothing, and tho ques
tion decided either way, will be by a
majority of the voters and will be the
will of the people. J. Wise.

Mr. Editor : la answer to one of
the board in your issue of week
before last, I would say that I find on
examination that I was not quite high
enough. The 1884 levy amounted to
a little over $2,600, all of which was
expended and a littlo over $800 in
debtedness left to be paid out of '85
levy, making a little over $3,400 ex
pended all told. As for the present
town clerk showing where the money
went, I think it is a little out of place,
for the new board to do- the business
of the last, viz : making a report ia
full, showing where the money went.
The law, I believe, requires the su
pervisor to keep an -account of all
moneys expended and orders drawn,
but our ex-supervisor handed his
books over to Mr. Bossiter just as he
received them from the county clerk's
office, without a scratch in them,
showing oa what road the people's
money went glimmering.
In answer to "Looker on," I would
say tho people, seeing the way in
which their money was. being speat,
turned out in full at the laot annual
meeting, almost every tax-payer in
the towBsbip being present, except
ex-supervisor and town clerk. Those
gentlemen did not think it necessary
to grace the meeting with their
presence, or to even make a report
showlnf what they bad done aad
