WEDNESDAY, NOV. 18, 1885.
Banks in New York City last week
held $24,000,000 in excess of legal re
qnirements.
It is understood certainly now that
Lincoln secures the Missouri Pacific
and Northwestern roads.
It is reported that Servians Lave
captured Adlichkula, also Tru, both
places taken after a brief, hand to
hand struggle.
One hundred "boomers" and forty
wagons, captured by Colonel Sumner
in Oklahoma, arrived at Fort Reno
the other day. A number of detach
ments are still out after others.
The citizens of Lincoln, Neb., have
organized a law and order league.
It doubtless can be made a useful
order, and result in much good from
the faithful execution of the laws in
that city.
The Butler County Press gives re
publicans credit for planning their
campaign in that county since last
spring, and remarks "we admire
clean-cut strategy, If it does break
our back."
Mr. Spfxlmak, of Cortland, while
in Lincoln one day last week, drew
from the bank $300. Ho was spotted
by some of the light-fingered gentry,
and followed to the U. P. train where
they relieved him of his money.
R. C. Blair, tried at Ponca, Neb.,
last week for the murder of James
Alexander in October last, was found
guilty of murder in the second de
gree, and sentenced to confinement at
hard labor in the penitentiary for life.
Secretary E.vdicott haB aent in
structions to the military comman
ders who are stationed in the neigh
borhood in which uprisings against
the Chinese are apt to occur, to have
their troops in readiness to enforce
the provisions of the President's
proclamation.
TnE national conference of free
traders and revenue -reformers held a
meeting last week at Chicago. It
was attended by 200 delegates from
all parts of the country. On the per
manent organization J. Sterling Mor
ton, of this state, was unanimously
elected chairman.
Charles Leslie, the young man
who was shot by R. L. Powell at
Florence, Neb., a short time ago
while on his way from church, died
the other night from the effects of
the wound. Powell is in the county
jail, having given himself up on the
night of the shooting.
In Colfax county, Cobb for judge
of the supreme court received a
majority of 132, Gere 123, Burnham
168, Lapache for county treasurer,
914, Whitman for clerk, 80S, Degman
for sheriff, 70, Grimison for county
judge, 180, &c, down the list. The
republican troops "fought nobly."
The prohibitionists polled 92 votes.
The state election returns so far as
received show a plurality for Cobb,
judge ot supreme court, of 16,124.
The counties yet to hear from are in
the western part of tho state and gen
erally cast a large vote for the repub
licans, and if thoy should, which is
very probable, the plurality on the
state ticket, it is believed, will reach
23,000.
Henry Updeguaf was killed by
Charles Metzger tho other night in a
fight at Hebron, Neb. While en
gaged in the light Metzger drew a
knife and stabbed Updegraf in the
back, causing his death the next
morning. The people are excited
about his crime and he will be taken
to Red Cloud or the penitentiary for
safe keeping.
The suit of the widow of the late
F. Frute, of Johnson count-, Neb.,
who died from exposure in conse
quence of intoxication, against the
saloon keepers who sold him the
liquor, terminated the other day at
Auburn, to which place it was trans
ferred on change of venue. The jury
returned a verdict of $1,250 and costs
in favor of the plaintiff.
The Nebraska City Press is report
ed as saying that Church Howe and
Tom Majors have fixed up a com
promise by the terms of which Howe
is to be a candidate for congress and
Majors is to go to the state senate,
with the Nemaha delegation pledged
to him as a successor of Van Wyck.
The Press thinks that Church is try
ing to poll the wool over Tom's eyes.
Gen. Logan says if the Republican
managers in New York State (who
invited him to speak there during the
last campaign) wish a scapegoat in
order to get from uuder the hay thetn-
eolve, he supposes he can flee to the
mountains as well as any one. The
General made good, stirring, honest
republican speeches, and we see no
reason for blaming him for demo
cratic victory in New York.
J. Sterling Morton has been keep
ing very shady of late, and his friends
were at a loss to know what had be
come of him. It will no doubt be
news to his Nebraska friends to learn
that he has bobbed up serenely in
Chicago as the chairman of tho nation
al conference of free traders and rev
enue reformers. He is at home on
that subject, and rides his hobby as
gracefully as the expert cowboy be
strides the fiery untamed broncho.
Omaha Bee.
The vote for Hewett, prohibition
candidate for judge of the supreme
court, received in the state, so far as
reported, 3107 votes; the counties
giving over a hundred votes were
Adams, Bntler, Burt, Cass, Dodge,
Holt, Lancaster, Nuckolls, Saline,
Saunders and Seward. The aim of
the parly in Nebraska this year has
evidently' been to test its strength,
asd give it a basis for hope in be
cosing a balance of power in conaty
ud state politics.
It Is stated that damages to the ex
tent of a good many million dollars
were caused by the burning of Aspin
wall, and it looks very much as if the
government would be compelled to
foot the bill. We guaranteed to keep
transit open. Columbia could not do
it and in the event of its failure, the
responsibility rested'onour shoulders.
We opened transit, but before it was
done Aspinwall was burned and mil
lions of dollars worth of property de
stroyed. The people who suffered
will expect remuneration. Recent
news from Washington says that the
sudden ordering of Admiral Jonett
to the IsthmuB of Panama is the sole
topic of conversation in naval circles.
It Ib Baid that the people of Aspin
wall have preferred claims aggregat
ing between $7,000,000 and $8,000,000,
which will be precented to congress
for payment. This is a claim for
property destroyed during the late
troubles, and for which it is alleged
this government is responsible. Ad
miral Jonett's mission is in connec
tion with this matter.
It appears the mayor of Taconia,
Washington Territory, headB the list
of persons indicted by the grand jury
at Yanconver. Among the number
is the probate judge of Pearce county,
in which Tacoma is situated, the
president of the Young Men's Chris
tian Association of Tacoma, several
saloon keepers, and the editor and
proprietor of the Tacoma News. It
will take about ten days before the
United States district attorney will
get ready to try the rioters, but the
whole gang will be brought to Van
couver immediately, and if bail can
not be given they must go to jail.
The mob at Tacoma, frightened by
the turn affairs have taken, have re
leased the Chinese whom they ac
cused of having burned the houses
from which their countrymen were
driven by the mob.
A special to the Eayle at Wichita
from Cantonment announces the
death of the noted and cruel Cbcyenno
chief, Stone-Calf, who died on the
11th inst., at his camp, near Canton
ment, of spinal meningitis. He was
a terror to cattlemen and previous to
the annulling of the grass leases
regularly raided their ranches with
bis band. He was the leader of the
troubles last spring. He also led in
the outbreak of 1884, at which time
he took captive two white girls by
the name of Germain, who, it will be
remembered, were afterwards de
livered to the U. S. authorities, after
suffering every possible indignity at
the hands of the Indians.
On the morning of the 13th the
most destructive fire in the history of
Galveston broke out in a 6tnall foun
dry and car repairing shop on the
north side of Avenue A, known as
tho Strand, between 16th and 17th
streets. A strong gale was blowing
at the time from the uorth and the
flames spread with great rapidity, re
ceiving no check until they laid fifty
two blocks in ashes, destroying 6even
hundred dwellings and millions
worth of property. The fire was con
fined to the residence part of the city
and fully 500 families are without
homes, and many destitute. The bus
iness portion of the city was not
touched by the fire.
We learn that in the court of claims
about twenty claims for losses of
property and supplies taken by
United States troops during the civil
war were submitted for decision on
the general question as to the loyalty
of the claimants. These claims were
all referred to the court by congres
sional committees under the pro
visions of the Bowman act. The
court took the question under ad
visemeut and adjourned. It is ex
pected that a decision will 60on be
rendered in the Choctaw case.
There is one thing that ought to be
looked after in this county, and that
is that candidates and workers for
candidates be not allowed to carry
bottles and kegs of whiskey with
them when they go out electioneering.
The world is by no means perfect,
bnt so long as unscrupulous politi
cians are allowed to use such undue
influences with impunity, those who
have any conscience whatever may
ju6t about as well try to do nothing
towards bettering our county gov
ernment. Nebraska's congressional delega
tion should together nrge upon the
general government the propriety of
securely guarding the settlers who
are already located in northwestern
Nebraska and southwestern Dakota
from trouble by reason ol the Indians
in that locality. From all present in
dications it look as though another
seasou would see a wonderful in
crease in the settlers in the region
named, and Nebraska owes it to her
self to do all in her power for their
welfare.
Jonas M. Clarin, a wealthy Swede
farmer, who lived near Oxford, Neb.,
started home one dark night of last
week, wandering off the road on to a
high bank of the Republican river
and 6teps off, falling a distance of
twenty feet into the river where he
was found with his left arm, shoulder
and head nnder water and perished
apparently without a struggle.
From a report already made by the
Sixth Auditor, McConnell, on the

expenditures over revenues were
$6,756,345.

Terrible Sti
Selma, Ala., Nov. 9. Friday
night one of the mo6t terrific and
disastrous 6torms ever known in this
state passed over this section of the
county, washing away bridges, rail
road beds and growing crops, and
leveling forests and houses for miles.
The cyclone, accompanied by torrents
of rain and appalling electric dis
charges, started on the Cababa river.
It passed through Dallas, Perry and
Bibb counties, leveling all in its path.
Exploring relief parties say the track
of the cyclone was half a mile wide.
They have gone over forty miles
picking up the dead and wounded,
and .don't know how much longer the
track is. Thirteen persons have been
found killed outright, and forty or
fifty dangerously wounded. A num
ber of persons cannot be accounted
for. Bales of cotton were blown
from the gin houses and bursted and
scattered everywhere. Growing
crops, potatoes, etc., were torn up
from the ground and even trees were
carried away. A man driving a load
of cotton, living in this city, has been
lost. Tbe'cotton and the wagon were
blown a quarter of a mile and the
man and mules carried off and cannot
be found. Relief parties are search
ing for the dead and dying, and every
thing is being done to relieve the
destitution. Negroes are frightened
nearly to death and huddle together
or squat alone unclad in bushes and
under fallen trees. The city is being
canvassed for money to bury the dead
and relieve the destitute.

I saw an exquisite story that Rich
ard Grant White used to tell so man
gled by a newspaper the other day
that I was moved to do it justice by
printing my recollection of it. It

it is :
When General Washington was in
New England he was entertained at
dinner by a country gentleman who
lived comfortably but quietly in his
old fashioned home far from town.
When the general rose to go the little
daughter of the host, not yet in her
teens, opened the door for him. As
he passed out in his stately way he
bowed and said to the little maid:
"I wish you a better office, my dear."
Yes, sir," she quickly replied, with
a bow, "to let you in, 6ir." Phila

Miss Nella Miller, daughter of
Mrs. Richard Miller, of Buffalo, ran
away from home twenty-two years
ago because she thought her parents
were too strict with her. It was
believed for many years that she was
dead. She married Sam Wetherill,
tho actor. After they were married
they lived sometime in California
and while there joined a theatrical
company and traveled in foreign
conntries. After her husband's death
she wanted to see the old folks and
decided to visit home at Buffalo, so,
the other day, she made the unex
pected arrival there and had a happy
re-union with her friends and re
latives. It was like having the dead
come back to life.

the other morning near Rockfield,
Wis. A little four-year-old daugh
ter of Jacob D. Hein, a lumberman

lowed, shattering the house, killing
the little girl, fatally injuring Mrs.
Hein, and seriously mutilating other
members of the family. The child's
head and arms were torn from her
body, being found quite a distance
from the house.
Luther Evans and John Vaughter
of Louisville, Ky., more than a year

and meeting him the other day at
Turner's station, Ky., he fired twice
at him. Vaughter escaped unhurt
and returned the fire, shooting Evans
through the head and heart and kil
ling him instantly.

It Hum Saved My Life.
I have been suffering with scrofula
for the pa6t four years. For two
years I tried various remedies pre
scribed by a number of the best
physicians. They treated me for
what they called a fatty tumor on the
neck. This proved a delusion, as the
rising, which bad assumed a fearful
shape, broke and commenced to dis
charge freely. In 1883, being con
vinced that the affliction with which
I suffered was of a scrofulous nature,
I was induced to try Swift's Specific
I was growing desperate, and wanted
a speedy cure, and as the S. S. S. did
not act as promptly as I thought it
should, I was easily persuaded to quit
it and try another preparation. That
did me no good and I changed to
another containing potash and mer
cury, and that came near wrecking
me. My life was despaired of. Al
most disheartened of ever seeing a
well day again, I was induced to go
back to Swift's Specific. It was my
only hope. In December, 1884, com
menced a regular course. It was
some time before my system yielded
to its influence, but when it did I
began to improve at once. I had
become so weak I could scarcely
walk, but under the influence of S. S.
S. my general health has greatly im
proved, and I feel as well as I ever
felt in my life to-day. The scars
alone remain to tell of my former
sufferings, every other evidence of
the disease having disappeared, and
I can honestly say that S. S. S. has
saved my life.
