i t. w If ft I l? 1 All Rfi i p 4$tt.bas (, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1880. There is talk of dividing Holt comity this fall. These are bat six democratic rotes in Wheeler county. Nebraska City has decided to have waterworks by a vote of 600 to 40. Railroads in Louisiana are ran at a loss, so far as local traffic is coa cerned. It is claimed by Englishmen that Gladstjne's defeat is solely attribut able to American interference. Gen. J. M. Thater addressed a large number of the G. A. R. boys at Liberty, Neb., the other evening. Mr. Codt, a young man, was drowned the other day near Omaha in the Missouri river, while bathing. The extreme dryness of the season in Arizona is notable to the oldest settler. No one has seen anything like it. If anybody had doubts about J. N. Paul's being virtually out of the race for governor, those doubts have prob ably been removed. The main building of the State Soldiers' Home at KnighUtown, Ind-, was destroyed by fire the other evening, loss 190,000. The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley road has been completed to Rapid City, D. T., and is opeu for passenger traffic to that point. The camphor laurel, from which the camphor of commerce is obtain ed, has been successfully introduced into California. It is a native of Cbina. The Baltimore Sun claims that in Baltimore county, there are, in pro portion to its area, more thorough bred Jerseys than in any other part of the United States. "La Viteese" is the name of a pa per cotter recently invented in France, which will cut flat paper on four sides at once, blank books on throe sides, and two bundles at a time. The President of the .Grape Creek Coal Co. in Illinois is having trouble with its miners who have struck for higher wages, and who are now out of employment, and the company re fuse to give them work. The citizens of Madison county, this state, have on hand an unpleas ant county seat contest, the contest ing towns are Madison and Norfolk. This contest is to be settled by an election to be held on the 13th. Miss Mary E. Welch, living near Neligb, Neb., was thrown from a runaway team of her father's the other day, her dress having caught on the hay ruck, throwing her under the wheel, striking her temple. She was killed almost instantly. One of the old blue laws of Con necticut reads as follows : "No man shall conrt a maid in person or by letter, without first obtaining the consent of her parents. Five pounds a penalty for the first offense, 10 for the second, and for the third im prisonment during pleasure." Wm. Seliger, a witness on the stand for the state in the anarchist trial, has disclosed, the secrets and plans of the socialistic plot, and shows where and who manufactured the bombs, used with such fatal effect, during the time of the riot -in Chica go. The horrible manner in which Kuong Ling, a chinaman, was mur dered the other day in Boston, shows conclusively, by the methods in which his body was cut up and mu tilated with a regard for Chinese customs and superstitions, that no American citizen committed the murder. demur te Preferred. Of all the candidates named for governor, Hon. Leander Gerrard is to be preferred on account of his fa miliarity with the history of Nebras ka as a territory and as a state; his acquaintance with prominent citi zens of the state; his knowledge of the needs of the people, of which he shows a keen instinct, and for which he proposes expedients that are sound and practical ; he is to be preferred because, more than all the others, he thinks for himself, and is not influ enced by designing men whose in tentions are for private gain, and against the public welfare. A lack of self-strength and self-reliance has ruined many an official, and brought disaster to the people whose interests onght to have been at least conserved, if not furthered. Besides, many a man loses head when placed in a re sponsible position. This is not the case with Gerrard. He is cool-headed, collected, full of expedients, and, back of these, persistent and plucky. His qualities, not at any time for dress parade, combine to make him a most excellent governor for the state of Nebraska, from 1887 to 1891, a term of years which will see every portion of our vast, fertile prairies organized into counties, and during which, greater attention than hereto fore will doubtless be given to the laws that are to help or hinder the future well-being of our citizens. While conserving all of good that we have, we should select for our servants in office the men who think wisely on public matters ; those who have the ability, the disposition and the determination to weigh well the effect of proposed measures, and de cide for the public good ; those who having decided.are not easily swerved from the straight line of duty. While there is yet plenty of time to the State Convention, it is not too early for the people who express themselves at the primaries, the politicians of the precincts, and the managers of party interests generally to consider what is to be done. There is a wonderful difference between an offensive and defensive campaign, and this should be settled by the thinkers, before the convention, and not after it, to the end that the stand ard bearer of the republican party in this campaign may lead to victory, not only by the usual majority but by a greatly increased majority. Gen. Sherman passed on ahead and arrived in Saa Francisco last week. He was kindly aid enthusi astically received. One evening he visited the hall of G. H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., and was greeted by the members of the post with cheers and tumultuous applause, and made them a brief speech before be left, which closed with this sentence. "Grand Army Posts are now scatter ed over our entire country, and every member should become a teacher to instill into the hearts of your emidren tne principles tor which you fought and the objects of your organization, until from Maine to California all will understand that the great civil war was one of the worst wars, and that the men who fought to suppress it and main tain the honor of our flag were the best and purest patriots God ever marl a " A remarkable religious mania has appeared at Walnut Hills, a fashionable place near Cincinnati, Ohio. Forty men and women, some of them prominent in business and Bocial circles and all of them said to be quite intelligent, profess to believe that Mrs. John B. Martia is Christ manifested in the flesh, and that her sister, Mrs. John F. Brook, is the Holy Ghost. In some wonderful and mysterious way the women have secured an inexplicable influence over these people, who, not being fools, must be set down as fanatics. Among the recent converts is a young book keeper named Jerome, who has given up bis $1,800 salary to follow the female savior. To a re porter this young man in an earnest manner said, "I have seen God face to face in the last half hour." Herman Jacobs and Ed. Kronicke, little boys of Chicago, while trying to open a dynamite bomb tlio other day, the little tin box exploded ami the boys were .thrown on their backs. A piece of the bomb entered the Kronicke boy's arm and. horribly mangled the limb. The Jacobs boy was struck by a piece of the metal in the box, on his jaw, near the chin, smashing througb his mouth and going out through his cheek, leaving two large blackened holeB. Two other pieces struck his arm, making two ugly wounds. 1'ei A serious accident befell a ten-year-old son of J. S. Paradis, the editor of the Atchieon Graphic, the other day. While attempting to climb upon a moving freight train, the boy fell in such a way that one of the wheels passed over his foot, necessitating amputation across the instep. At Dennieou, Texas, the other night, a man met with a horrible death by being wonnd around the axles of a car wheel. When dis covered, only a part of the skull, left ear and a piece of an arm and hand were left. It is suppoFed he was stealing a ride on the break beam and became entangled and beaten to pieces on the ties. Five of the villains, who wrecked in la6t Apiil, the Missouri & Pacific train at Wjudot;o, have been de tected, and arrested the other morn ing in Wyandotte county. Tne names of tho party arrested and charged with the crime are G. H. Hamilton, R. Geers, F. Newport, M. Leary, W. yoBeen and O. J. Lloyd, and they were among the strikers during tho late trouble. The Omaha Herald publishes a de nial by Hon. James E. North of this city, as to his being a candidate for U. S. marshal. He favors Mr. Gal braitb. The Journal has no dis position to interfere with the democ racy, but begs leave to suggest that James E. is entitled to the best office in the state, at their disposal. He has been an ardent, untiring worker all the time, and, many a time, gal lantly leading a forlorn hope. The state board of equalization flaisbed their labors at Lincoln on the 24th nit., and the result seemed to be very satisfactory to those who bad business before the board. The total valuation of property last year was $133,418,699.83, and the total levy ilamte tierrartl by Acclama tion. Tho Columbus Journal nominates Hon. Leander Gerrard for governor of Nebraska with glowing eulogy. The Journal says that his whole life "has been in consonance with the sturdy, progressive career of the republican party," and that his nomi nation would be "a fitting pledgo to progress, which would be respond ed to with alacrity by Nebraska's thousands of freemen." This being the case, there apparently remains nothing to be dene except to nomi nate Mr. Gerrard by acclamation. Beatrice Express. The appropriateness of which will become still more apparent as the time for the state convention ap proaches. The republican party is a party of ideas, and desires a man of ideas for governor ; composed of in dependent men, it needs a man of similar disposition ; looking to a fu ture which widens the opportunities of the race, Nebraska republicans, in nominating Leander Gerrard for governor will be saying to every well-behaved, industrious, enterpris ing lad, ready to carve bis way through the world, " Win your way." A man of ideas and of deeds, he would do honor to the office and to the political party that had the good sense to place him there. Of course, nominate him by acclamation, and unanimously. It is wonderful what numbers of people invest in medicine that prom ises to give them relief, and what a large structure of faith can be built upon so small a foundation of fact, as in the case of most patent medi cines. Humbugery of the worst kind is the order of the day in such maiiers. rye nave oetore us a pamphlet telling the people how they can be cured of rheumatism, eye dis eases, catarrh, neuralgia, general de bility, enlarged spleen, lung diseases, malarial poison, asthma, bronchitis, and well it is not worth while to mention all the ailments in the cata logue, by the use of a patent nostrum that doubtless finds many willing purchasers. Along with the nostrum we notice that some very good ad vice goes out to customer?, such as to live very airaplv, discarding every thing not lood. The advice is doubt less better then the drug "by a Urge majority." Compound villains can compound the simples and comfound the sick and dying for their money, to the great pecuniany profit of the compound villains. Quite an industry is now carried on in Europe in the manufacture of picture frames from paper. Paper pulp, glue, linseed oil and car bonate of lime, or whiting, are mixed together and heated into a thick cream, which is run into molds and hardened. Tho frames are then gilded or bronzed. Thomas Graham, jr., a young farmer, while crossing a bridge over Mud Creek, near Homesville, in Gage county, Neb., was precipitated to the bottom, the other day, the bridge giving way, pitching his wagon and threshing machine below, and in the fall Graham's neck was broken. 1'ewa IVetes.

A report comos from Hutchinson, Neb,, that several persons died there suddenly and the people fear an epi demic. An investigation showed that the victims bad been eating pickled beef containing poison. A butcher protested that bo never sold the meat and, to prove the assertion, gave some to his children, who quick ly died. The excitement in Hutchin son mas high, because the man gave the children meat which it was sus pected contained poison. Buffalo Bill's Wild West from Nebraska, has had a great run at Staten Island, for the past four or five weeks, the daily attendance av eraging 15,000, and during that time over 360,000 people have witnessed than 4VJf raiflrlr.ttl oUor Tk .! . a ww aa.awarB -WAMM VUW BW AUD KMJ& .fill,, .eve. ana twriy-mne tor- wer KComiHOd.te 20.- ietfaf.

The small-pox epidemic is getting worse every day and the disease proves fatal in sixty or seventy per cent, of the number of persons attack ed. On Saturday and Sunday last twenty-siven cases of small-pox were sent to the hospital at Santiago De Chili, South America. Mattie Ran dell, of Morris, Conn., was brutally shot and murdered the other day by a farm band named Lock wood. He had no motive for the hm rible deed, but it is supposed she resented his insult and, maddened by her resentment, he shot her. He bad not been captured at the time of this report. his views in regard to such institu tions have greatly cbauged. He writes not to harm but to benefit the intended Home. Far he it from him to suspect the motives of the ladies and gentlemen moving in this matter, and doing and contributing toward it. If "Tom" should say "'Dick' is doing and giving much but it may be all for the sake of the praise of men" then "Harry" may well reply :"as long as the hands of the clock show correctly, the mechanism inside is in all probability O. K. Bat in our best intentions and move ments we may be mistaken. The more our intentions seem calculated to act upon our feelings and emotions, the more we may watch and look to the never-failing word of God for guidance, lest we may, in spite of tho best intentions, miss the way. When, many years ago, the writer made a move like the one made now here, an old friend of mino, Prof. R. one of the best and most learned men of the U. S., w.irned him. "You remember" said be, "the movement of pastor B. don't you think bis pian is much better than yours?" Pastor B's. plan I bad seen carried out. It baa done an immense amount of good. I bad resided for many years in the locality of its operation. I had soeu it with mine eyes. I had detected some drawbacks in it, which I did not notice on the surface of the general plan in Orphan's Homes hence, my former preference for them. But experience has taught me differently. What was pastor B's. plan? He interested a number or well and kindly disposed people. Ho formed them into an association for the bringing up ol orphans and destitute children. The members bound themselves to uke one or two child ren, according to tbeir disposition and ability, into their own families and bring them up, or if not disposed or fixed, or able to do that, they would find other worthy and well regulated families disposed to take a child or two, and then, if in tbeir own neighborhood, take a kindly oversight over that particular shield. In case of need, especially for small children, the association would from its funds make small compensation to these foster parents. The associa tion bad a board to whom reports were made, who directed its affairs and had the oversight of the foster parents and the children entrusted to them. Soon it bad to engage an agent, for its work extended and grew and eternity only will show the good it has accomplished. After founding an Orphan's Home myself, after years of experience in that particular field of Christian labor, I have become fully convinced that pastor B. bit the nail on the head when he carried out his plan, and that Orphan's Homes, where many children are crowded together, are neither expedient, nor conduc ive to their best interest, nor accord ing to what a family hold as the only reliable standard for all men's faith and practice the word of God. In my next I will try to establish and prove my points, and yet I am far from even slighting such institutions aa Fauke's, in Halle, Germany, as Mueller's in Bristol, England, and many other Protestant Homes.nor the numerous ones of the Roman Catholic church. I say : God bless them all and tbeir founders and maintainers. They have done what they could, ac cording to the light they had. But we want progress I We want the best instead of the good. A.

At times I was unable to turn myself in bed, and bad to be handled as tenderly as an infant. My chest was involved, and the pain was intolerable at times. All tbe old and well known remedies were exhausted, but no permanent relief was obtained. About a year ago I was induced by a friend to try Swift's Specific. Tbe effect has been magical. My friends scarcely re cognize me. My rheumatism is en tirely gone, my general health is superb, and I am weighing thirty pounds more than when I com menced taking S. S. S. I am able to attend to all my ministerial work. I am devoutly grateful for my restora tion to health, which I owe, under the blessing of God, to Swift's Specific. J. M. Lowkt.
