The widow of Gen. Grant has been
grieved by the public discussion of
the domestic affairs of her daughter,
Mrs Sartoris. The Public Ledger is
authorized to say that all reports to
the effect that she has applied or con
templates applying for a divorce or
separation from her husband are en
tirely without foundation, and cruel
wounds to her feeling.
Tiie shameful election frauds com
mitted in Cincinnati were more diffi
cult to detect than those at Columbus,
Ohio, and we have strong faith that in
the investigation being made they wili
be unravelled and their authors
caught and properly punished. Seve
ral hundred ballots have already been
found in the ballot boxes beyond
those whose names have been proper
ly registered.
It is stated that the home-rule party
has now held one-halt of its county
conventions in Ireland. In every one
of these Par n ell's dominance has not
been even contested. The result has
therefore been that thirly-eight Par-
nellite candidates for parliamentary
seats have been nominated to receive
the home-rule vote and in every case
the nomination was made without a
single division.
W. Mangan's residence at Auburn,
Neb., was struck on the night of the
28th ult., by lightniug. It had a
square hip roof .and it was com
pletely riddled, the electric fluid pas

the shingles and cornice as it went.
The family of eight persons in the

found in agony from morphine. They
are both alive at this time but neither
of them have recovered conscious
ness. The lady may live but Whitely
cannot recover. It is a case of sui-

Anything touching our eminent
citizens is always interesting to our
readers. It is well known by intel
ligent men here that we have ability
in both political parties, that would
fit well any position of honor ami
trust in the state, or the nation, for
that matter. Our men are not so
obstrusive as they might be, nor eo
self-asserting as their merit would
justify, or they would, long before
this, have been found occupying high
public positions, as they now do the
high regard of their neighbors and
fellow townsmen. The Fremont
Tribune of a recent date publishes an
interview with Hon. Ed. Boggen,
secretary of state, in which be men
tions the name of Hon. Leander Ger
rard of this city as one of several
names prominently talked of for the
next candidate for governor of Ne
braska. The Journal does not
know anything concerning Mr. Ger
rard's sentiments on this subject, but
is free to say that his nomination
would be enthusiastically received by
a large and growing element of the
republican party of Nebraska. A re
publican, by principle, since the very
organization of the party, constant
aud thorough-going, he has been
foremost among citizens in working
for the srood of the state. The Jour
nal, during his term in the state
senate, had occabion to express a dif
ference with him in his attitude
toward Gov. Butler in the impeach
ment trial, under a misapprehension
of the facts, however, because the re
sult showed that the able senator was
right on all bis votes, and solid for
the people's interest. Since that
time, we have narrowly watched Mr.
Gerrard's course on public questions,
and have always found him with the
advance guard, in favor of the best
interests of the public. He would
make a most excellent governor for
Nebraska, knowing the needs of the
people of the state, and doing bis full
duty by them.
Death of Gea, TlcClellaa.
The sudden death of Gen. George
B. McClellan, ex-commander of the
army of the United States, was an
nounced on the morning of tho 29th
ult. He died at 3 :10, from exhaustion
produced by repeated shocks of
neuralgia of the heart, at his home,
on Orange Mountain, N. J. He had
completed his fifty-ninth year, and
had preserved not only buoyant
spirits but a buoyant, youthful agility.
He entered the military academy
at West Point in 1812, graduated
second in his class in 1846, and was
assigned to duty as brevet second
lieutenant in the corps of engineers.
He served during the Mexican war
and rose from one position to another
until in 1861, he was made Major
General and subsequently appointed
general-in-chief of the armies of the
United States, and, after receiving
his appoiutment, commanded one of
the finest armies the world ever saw
but being regarded too slow in bis
movements was superceded in com
mand by Gen. Burnside.
President Cleveland, on the an
nouncement of his death, ordered all
flags on the executive building to be
placed at half-mast until after the
funeral.
The President also addressed a note
of condolence to Mrs. McClellan "I
am shocked by the news of your bus
band's death, and while I know how
futile are all efforts to console, 1 must
assure you of my deep sympathy in
your great 'grief, and express to you
my own 6ense of affliction at the loss
of so good a Iriend. Grover Cleve
land." Mr. Wooldkidge, a street car dri
ver of Omaha, was ap proached one
night last week by a masked man,
and his money demanded ; his
movements to obey quickly did not
suit the robber and he fired a pistol
shot at the driver, the ball whizzing
past the heal of the driver. In an
instant tho driver drew his pistol and
fired at the robber who then fied, the
driver in pursuit, exchanging several
shots as tbey ran ; finally the robber
fell, and in a short time died. It is
believed that the first shot fired was
the one that ended the robber's life.
No one present at the time recognized
or knew the robber, but subsequent
investigation proved he was a young
man by the name of Walter Rockel,
whose mother is a very respectable
woman and resides in Omaha. Her
son it seems has been acting cow
boy in the west, and forgetting his
home training, thus sadly looses his
life.
'A conspiracy has recently been de
veloped at Boston to take the life of a
beautiful young Irish- lady who was
some years engaged as a domestic in
a wealthy Baltimore family. The
only son of the family made love to
her and they were clandestinely mar
ried. The father stormed, but the
young man stuck to his bride. It is
said the young lady is heir to consid
erable property, and by getting rid of
her the property would fall into their
hands. In the attempt to poison her
she suffered terribly but recovered.
The last attempt to tako her life was
to induce her to go to Baltimore and
hired James Donohue to kill her for
$1,000. When Donohue got the "evi
dence in proper shape he revealed the
plot to the police and Mrs. Emma
Coolidge, the leading spirit, has beeu
arrested and the officers have gone to
Baltimore to arrest the father-in-law
and other parties. The intendod vic
tim is Mrs. Charles J. Mullen.
The war office at Constantinople
last week presented a scene of unu
sual activity clearly indicating that
the Porte is determined on adopting
effective measures in the event of the
powers failing to agree on a plan for
the settlement of the Roumalian
question. An official report shows
that 185,000 Turkish troops are now
mustered at available points on the
frontier for active service in the Bal-
kan
peninsnla, and reinforcements J
I are continually arriving.

The Chinese farm house is a curious
looking abode. Usually it is shelter
ed with grovfs ot feathery bamboo
&nd thick-sm-eadinsr banyans. The
walla are of clay or wood, and the in
terior of the house consists of one
main room, extending from the floor
to the tiled roof, with closet looking
apartments in the corners for sleeping
rooms. There is a sliding window in
the roof, made of cut oyster shells ar
ranged in rows, while the side win
dows are mere wooden shutters. The
floor is the bare earth, where at night
fall there often gather together a mis
cellaneous family of dirty children,
fowls, ducks, pigeons and a litter of
pigs, aH living together in delightful
harmony. Ex.
.Senator John Sherman made an
excellent speech the other evening to
a large political gathering at Peters
burg, Va. He was introduced to the
meeting by General Mahone, as the
foremost statesman of the country.
General Mahone esteemed it a great
honor to have the privilege of intro
ducing the distinguished senator from
Ohio to a Virginia audience. He
came there, he said, to address the
reason, and not the prejudices, of the
people, and he bespoke for him a
cordial greeting and respectful hear-
ing.
Senator Sherman was cordially
greeted and accorded a most
res-
pectful and attentive hearing.
Mr. J. H. McCall. a citizen of
Plum Creek, Neb., met with a serious
accident the other day by his team of
hornes becoming frightened; they
commenced plunging and kicking,
upset the buggy and threw Mr.
McCall with violence on to a barbed
wire fence, tearing nis ciomes ana
frightfully lacerating bis side, shoul
der aud back." One shoulder was
dislocated. Hopes are entertained
that he will recover.
A dispatch received from St.
Johns, N. F., at Halifax, N. S., on the
28th ult., states that a great storm
raged off the coast of Labrador a few
days before doing immense damage
among the fishing fleet. Eighty ves
sels were wrecked or driven ashore,
and at least seventy men lost their
lives. Two thousand persons were
reported ashore in a destitute condi
tion. The news created great excite
ment at Halifax.
The other night abont 12 o'clock, a
stock train on the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Northern was thrown
from the track near Northwood,
Worth county, Iowa. Morrill Bice,
engineer, and Michael Counors,
brakeman, both of Cedar Rapids,
were instantly killed. The fireman
was badly scalded. Twenty-eight
head of cattle, belonging to the Pio
neer Cattle Company, of Montana,
were killed.
In the mandamus case before the
circuit court, brought by the republi
can, candidates for senator in Ham
ilton Co., Ohio, the counsel for the
county abandoned his plea against
the jurisdiction of the court and en
tered a motion to compel the relators
to make the petition more definite
and certain. The court sustained the
motion and further proceedings were
stayed until the amendment can be
made.
A Number of conservative mem
bera of parliament arrived the other
day at Ottawa, Ont, and will
intercede for Riel. The date to which
Riel has been respited is Nov. 10th.
It is a very questionable question any
any how, whether any body ought to
be hanged, and in Riel's condition of
mind it is thought to be questionable
whether even the law could hold him
responsible for his acts.
A man giving bis name as Herrick
H. Bridges in New York the other
day looking hnngry and tired accost
ed a police officer and said he had
robbed the store of Cumberledge &
Smith, at Atbol, Dak., of $1,000 and
had spent the money and was willing
to go back and take his punishment.
He was locked up and the Dakota
authorities will be consulted.
Mrs. Julia A. Grant, widow of
Gen. Grant, has recently made the
statement to W. R. Grace, mayor of
the city of New York, that Riverside
was selected by herself and family as
the burial place of Gen. Grant, and,
for reasons stated in her note, leaves
the strong inference that her desire is
that his body remain in New York.
Three men and a woman were
buried in the ruins of a frame build
ing the other day which collapsed on
Wabash avenue, Chicago. One of
the men was killed outright and his
companion and the woman, who was
in an upper part of the building at
the time of the disaster, received se
rious injuries.
Citizens of Chihuahua, Mexico, are
talking of annexation to the United
States. We believe that our citizens
will be a little slow to extend the
area of the republic in that direction.
If communities naturally gravitate
towards us we cannot well help it,
and eventually the Mexicans may
make good citizens.
Commissioner Sparks, of the land
office, does not approve of the policy

Washlastea letter.
(From our regular correspondent.)
Washington, Oct. 26, 1885.
Another official head has fallen, and
one of the most conspicuous opportu
nities to show friendship for Civil
Service reform has been thrown
away. The victim, in this instance,
is Assistant-Secretary Coon. He has
been recognized as the active, work
ing chief of the Treasury Department
under several heads, and no man has
ever held the position who has evinc
ed more fidelity in the discharge of
his duties. When the change of Ad
ministration occurred, Mr. Coon went
to Secretary Manning frankly, and
proposed to resign his place, saying
that he had always been a Republican
and always expected to be one. The
inexperienced Mr. Manning espe
cially requested Mr. Coon to remain,
assuring him that he would be of the
greatest service, and that his remain
ing would be considered in the light
of a favor.
Mr. Coon's retention in office has
been one great source of the confi
dence the Civil Service Reformers
continue to profess in the sincerity of
the Cleveland Administration. They
pointed to his case as resembling that
of the Under Secretaries in the Eng
lish Government, who remain through
all changes of Cabinet heads.
Thus the party abandons its Civil
Service hypocrisy. Mr. Coon goes,
not from any dissatisfaction with any
official act, but because Mr. Cleveland
wants Democrats around him, and
because Mr. Coon's services are not
quite as indispensable now as they
were to the raw men wbo took charge
of the Government eight months ago.
The ideal Democratic President is a
dispenser of public plunder as the
personal perquisites of politicians. It
would be impossible to educate the
average Democrat up to that reform
theory which the Democratic party
professed last year in order to get the
few hundred bolting Republican votes,
which saved it from defeat. They
hunger for the flesh pots, and have
profound contempt for any theory of
reform that does not hinge on spoils.
General Rosecrans, the registrar of
the Treasury, has succeeded in get
ting his office into a miserable tangle.
Work can scarcely go on there by
reason of the removal of efficient Re
publican subordinates, and the ap
pointment of incompetent Democrats
to their places. Again history repeats
itself. As a military commander in
Tennessee.it will be remembered.Gen.
Rosecrans got his army into a similar
fix, and had to be displaced.
Seoator Sherman stopped in Wash
ington on bis way to Virginia, where
be is going to add a few last touches
to the campaign. He was serenaded
at the Ebbitt House by some of his
m:iny Washington friends.
The Postmaster-Geueral has gone
to Wisconsin to attend the lunoral of
his sister. Secretary Whitney has
gone to New York to register. Sec-
l retary Bayard has been acting host to
Dr. Carry during the week, and the
latter is making arrangements to sail
for Spain on his receutly appointed
mission. Secretary Manning is
studying bard in order that he may
wheu Congress meets, be able to ans
wer some of the questions which
will be propounded by the astute
financial students, wbo compose the
Senate Finance Committee. The way
he carries himself before the commit
tee will have much to do with his fu
ture standing. The duties- of the
Secretary of tho Treasury are probab
ab!y more exacting than those of any
other Cabinet position, and the in
terest to see how Mr. Manning will
deport himself this winter is not sur
prising.
The Capitol is already being put in
readiuess for Congress which meets in
six weeks. The comfort of those who
serve their country in both ends of
the building is to be more closely at
tended to at the next session than
heretofore. Both tho Senate and
House will have new carpets. The
cloak rooms, those indispensible ac
cessories to legislation, where Con
gressmen gathar, smoke, joke, and
otherwise entertain oach other, are
being newly frescoed and furnished.
An additional Foftnes9 and sans souci
touch, as it were, is being given to the
lonnges that lurk in pleasant corners.
The House is envious of the Senate's
luxuries, aud giveu to imitating them.
Last year the Senate remoyed the lit
tle strips of card board with names
printed on them, showing to which
Senator each desk belonged and sub
stituted for them little silver plates.
This is now to be done in the House,
and it will take three hundred and
thirty three silver plates.
Hcroi als ef the LsmajM Bel tercel.
I am now 49 years old, and have
suffered for the last fifteen years with
a luug trouble. Several members of
the family on my mother's side of the
house had died with consumption,
and the doctors were all agreed in
their opinion that I had consumption
also. I bad all the distressing symp
toms of that terrible disease. I have
spent thousands of dollars to arrest
tho march ef this disease; I have
employed all of the usual methods,
not only in my own case, but in the
treatment of othe members of my
family, but temporary relief was all
that I obtained. I was uufit for any
manual labor for several years. By
chance I came into possession of a
pamphlet on "Blood and Skin Dis
eases," from the office of Swift Speci
fic Co., Atlanta, Ga. A friend re
commended the use of Swift's
Specific, claiming that he himself had
been greatly benefitted by its use in
some lung troubles. I resolved to
try it. About four years ago I com
menced to take S. S. S. according to
directions. I found it an invigorating
tonic, aud have used about fifty
bottles. The results are most re
markable. My cough has left me,
my strength has returned, and I
weigh sixty pounds more than I ever
did in my life. It has been three
years since I stopped the use of the
medicine, but I have had no return of
the disease, and there are no pains or
weakness felt in my lungs. I do the
hardest kind of mechanical work, and
feel as well as I ever felt since I was
a boy. These, I know, are wonder
ful statements to make, but I am
honest when I say that I owe my
existence and health to-day to'SwitVs
Specific. It is the only medicine that
brought me any permanent relief. I
do not say that Swift's Specific will
do this in every case, but most pos
itively affirm that it has done this
much for me, and I wonld be recreant
to the duty I owe to suffering human
ity if I failed to bear this cheerful
testimony to the merits of this won
derful medicine. I am well known
in the city of Montgomery, and can
refer to some of the best citizens in
the city. T. J. Holt.

After this great thunderint; and roaring noise of the " one-day cheap
sale competitors" ha? padsed away,
ISRAEL GLUOK
Steps now to the front, and proclaims that he will from this luy on not only
hold a one or two days cheap sale, hut will hold a cheap mile from this day
on up to the 1st dav of JANUARY next. Everything in my store has
been marked AWAY DOWN, from a paper of pins to n silk dress, and from
a red bandana to a fine wedding suit ot clothes. This is no gas or wind, but
real facts, for when I say a thing I mean it.
DON'T YOU FORGET IT!
Israel don't depend solely on celling Dry Good- for a liviug, tn he de
riTes income enough from other sources to live very comfortably, aud he has
made up bis mind to make it qnite interesting in the Dry Goods and Cloth
ing line just for the fun of the thing, and give thu citizens of Platte county
and surrounding country the benefit of this fun while it lasts.
