Chicago Scared.
Sunday morning Chicago was won
derfully scared by the explosion,
near Brighton Park, of 100,000 pounds
of powder. The touch was made by
a flaBh of lightning from a cloud, and
the earth for mileB around rocked as
though riding on the crests of a suc
cession of mighty billows, says the
Herald. The air was filled with fly
ing missiles, buildings swayed on
their foundations, and trees shivered
like a man shaking with the aguo.
Where the magazine stood nothing
remained to mark the place except a
hole abont thirty leet deep, sixty feet
wide, and about a hundred feet long.
Four persons were badly wounded
and one killed, while immense dam
age was done to property within two
miles of the Park.
The storm in many localities in
TcxaB was very severe and did great
damage. At Seguin the Record
office was totally destroyed. The
new tower of tho Episcopal church
was blown down and a large number
of public and private buildings wero
either blown down or badly damaged.
At Sontherland Springs two men
were killed. The cotton plant has
been whipped into shreds, but many
persons believe it will take a new
growth and dcvelope to a crop. At
Uampstead it is stated that the storm
did great damage to the cotton crop
in the uplands. The loss to the crop
from the ravages of the wind and
rain will be onlylo per cent.
The republican state convention of
Ohio, nominated for Supreme Judge,
Marshall J. Williams; clerk of Su
preme court, A. H. Hestea ; School
commissioner, Eli T. Tatton ; mem
ber of board-of public works, W. M.
Hohn. The convention pronounced
the democratic administration a mis
erable failure in keeping tho pledges
upon which it came into power, and
condemned President Cleveland for
bis indiscriminate use of the veto
power.
The first firing of ballots on the
Van Wyck issue took place in Gov.
Dawes' home county last Friday,
the caucus instructing Van Wyck
delegates to the Republican county
convention. The Friend precinct
caucus went 117 for Van Wyck and
39 for Dawes. This shows very
plainly that farmers are awake, and
that they have learned the place to
make a fight is in the primaries.
Let Butler county farmers do as well.
Ulysses Dispatch.
The citizens of Victoria, Texas,
held a meeting the other night and

Mr. Fitzgerald.

San Francisco, Aug. 27, '86.
Dear Journal: A few words
from the land of flowerR, might be
interesting to your readers. I came
here to attend the National Eucauip
meut, G. A. R. and will first refer to
the meeting of the old soldiers. It
certainly has been a royal meeting
for them. Never before were they
so bountifully entertained, or en
joyed themselves as well.
In the yrand parade of Tucsdas,
there were ten thousand old soldiers,
aud one huudicd bands lurnibbing
music, while thousands of school
children btrcw the sticets with
flowers, lor the "boys" to walk
over.
Not less than one-half million
persons witnessed the parade. The
cheers that wont up from every
street corner along the line of march
for five miles, wero deafening. All
along the entire line was one dense
mass of people, filling the streets,
except on the line of march, the
windows, tho houso tops, and every
available space. Ladies waved their
handkerchiefs, and fairly shouted
their hurrahs to the soldier boys.
It is estimated that not less than
one hundred thousand flags, banners,
and streamers decked the streets aud
houses of San Francisco. The grand
object lesson, that was presented on
that day, to the children and youth
of California, will never be forgotten
by them. Should war come to our
country, in tho next half century, the
benefits then realized from this Na
tional Encampment in tbe State of
California, would be immense.
The lesson of patriotism now
learned, would then become
practical. Not only in San Fran
cisco, but throughout the State was
the reception, one grand ovation.
At San Jose tho citizens had a
bountiful feast provided, and tables
spread (or five thousand to eat at one
time. Everything that could be
thought of almost in the meat, fruit
and pastry lino, was on the tables.
These tables were all filled, first and
partly the second time.
This is but a sample of the recep
tions at Santa Cruz, Oakland, Sacra
mento, and other places. Of course,
peaches, apricots, apples, ncctariues,
all varieties of grapes, plums, pears,
etc., etc., abounded, while the boys
who wished to taste the various kiuds
of California wines, had no trouble in
finding opportunity.
The torch-light procession of the
second day, was comparatively a
failure, for tbe reason that one of the
dense fogs, of almost daily occurrence
in San Francisco, prevailed. The
brightest t-ky rockets seemed but a
small speck of fire. Tbe banquet of
the third night was one of the finest
ever served. The bills of fare (to say
nothing of the fare itself), cost $2.75
each. They were faced with satin,
mounted with silver plated
souveuirs. Of course these were
retained by the boys as mementoes of
the "twentieth National Encamp
ment.' It is hardly possible that any
place, in tho future, can ever as
royally entertain tho boys, as they
havo been in California this time. A
word as to the jwrsonale of the Na
tional Encampment. No convention
or representative body of men, of
superior character and standing, has
ever met, perhaps, in tbe United
States. It was composed of about
six hundred representatives, from all
the States and Territories in tho
Union, and numbered among its
members the most prominent men of
the Nation. There were such men as
Gen. Logan, Gen. Sherman, Gov.
Farchild of Wisconsin, who was
elected Commander-in-Chief of the
G. A. R. for the next year, and a
score of other Governors or ex-Governors,
and a number of members of
Congress, etc., etc.
The next encampment will be held
in St. Louis, one year hence. As, it
is so central, the attendance of old
soldiers will no doubt be much
larger, but the points of interest to
visit, certainly are not equal to tbaee
of California.
But there is no use to attempt to
enumerate all that was of interest, as
it wonld make my letter entirely too
lengthy. More soon.
G. A. R.
Ed. Joubnal: In looking over
your paper of Aug. 18th, I was struck
with the gross charge made by a
"Tax-payer" that the Board of
Supervisors had permitted or allowed
$20,000 of personal property to escape
taxation, and, were it not for tbe
ignorance exhibited by "a large tax-
aver," I should have permitted his
article to remain unanswered, for
had be exHmined Sec. 54 of the
revenue law, he would have found
that it was the duty of the Assessors
to take cognizance of all taxable
property in their districts on the 1st
day of April, and i', by any chance,
any should have escaped, then upon
the complaint of any citizen to tbe
proper town board when sitting as a
board of equalization, to have such
error corrected (sec Sec. 62), and if it
shall have escai ed even thi-i op
portunity for correction, the county
board, as a court of final appeal, can
only take cognizance of such errors
on tbe complaint of a citizen, properly
laid before it. See Sec. 70. The in
sinuation that the stockmen on the
Board aud "their willing tools" were
guilty of committing a gross fraud on
the county, is unworthy of a gen
tleman, but his charges are upon a
par with his statement of facts; tbe
cattle he refers to came before the
Board for the payment of delinquent
taxes for 1885 and '86, and were
finally decided by the Board to have
been in possession of tbe owner on
the 1st of April, 1885, who has since
paid tbe taxes on the same.
As Columbus is a shipping point
for ail parts of the county, how
does "Tax-payer" know that those
cattle were not returned to the
Assessors of the Townships from
which they came, and if he did why
did he not make complaint at the
proper time to the county Board, or
is he one of thote he roters to as
"poltroons who are able to tatteu a
cow or a hog" unu therefore connived
at it, as "birds or a feather are said to
flock together?"

Ed. Journal: In your issue ot
the 25th, 1 think your comment on
the communication ot J. L., reflect
somewhat on the integrity of the
proprietors of the Citizcus Bank of
Humphrey. By the way they are
very fine gentlvmen, do a fair busi
ness every way, and, I presume,
their iucome corresponds with other
banks throughout the country, if the
trnth was known. J. L.
Our correspondent has a strange
way of construing tbe plain English,
ne had spokou of a semi-annual
bank dividend of twenty-four per
cent. Our comment touching that
particular was, "the probability is
that this particular case is an except
ion with this bank aud doubtless an
exception to banks generally." An
exception does by no means imply
lack of integrity, or anythiug like
dishonest or unfair dealing. The
short of it is, that the six months
covered by the report might have
been a half year ot unusual activity for
this particular bank. Ed. Journal.

Nicb Blaser writes ub that abont a
week ago, having occasion to bathe
in the Platte river, he found the
water nearly hot enough to cook
him. He also found hnndreda of
fiah of all kinds, dead. One Poland
er got away with a catfish abont 40Bs
on bis shoulder, but it was a dead
one, too.
Nich would like to know whether
the fish were killed by the hot water,
or by poison.
Friday last a family went down the
river in a boat with a house on it;
they stopped and told Nich that they
were going to St Louis.
Cancer ef the Teagae.
My wife, some three or four years
ago, was troubled with an ulcer on
tbe side of her tongue near the
throat. The pain was incessant,
causing loss of sleep and producing
great nervous prostration. Ac
companying this trouble was rheu
matism. It had passed from the
shoulders and centered in the wiist
of one hand, she almost losing r-the
use of it. Between tbe suffering of
tbe two, life bad grown burdensome.
By tbe use of a half dozen small
sized bottles of Swift's Specific, she
was entirely relieved and restored to
health. This was three years ago,
and there has been no return of tbe
disease.
