The thirty-fifth General Assembly of Illinois did not adjourn until the loth. The vote on the street' franchise at Fremont Saturday was 252 for, 8 against. The Chamlier of Deputies at Paris last week elected M. Develle, vice presi dent of that body. W. E. Chandler was elected last week Senator from New Hampshire, to fill the vacancy in the Senate. Only two new cases of yellow fever were reported last week at Key West, making total of twenty-nine. Saturday night the jury in the Shell enberger murder case at Lincoln failed to agree and were discharged. Thursday, July 7th, is editors' day at Crete. Judge Goodwin, editor of the Salt Lake Tribune, is to deliver the ad dress. Wm. O'Brien arrived in Dublin Sat urday evening, and waB received with the greatest ovation witnessed there in many years. Mrs. W. H. B. Stout of Lincoln, who had leen seriously ill for some time, from catarrh of the stomach, died Sun day morning at 4 o'clock. The steamer Ems, on which James G. Blaine was a p.-issenger, arrived at Liz ard at 0 o'clock on the morning of the Ifith insL, from New York. A report oome9 from Nogales, Ariz., that the governor of Sonora, Mexico, has issued a proclamation offering a reward of SftOO Tor the head of each hostile Apache. The treasurer at Washington has pre pared a statement in regard to the cir culating medium, which shows the total circulation of coin ami currency May :il. 1HS7, S12!,72.VV1(I. The immense sugar refinery of the Haveneyer Sugar Kelining company in Williamsburg. N. V.. was entirely de bt toed by lire recently, causing a loss r :i million dollars. At 10:37 Sunday morning a startling uhock of earthquake was felt at Summer ville. South Carolina, accompanied by the most prolonged roaring heard since October 22 hist year. The excitement the other day in the coffee market in New York reached its highest pitch and several heavy firms go under. The manipulators of the coffee deal lost their grip. A rei'ORT comes from Paris that earthquakes visited Roches, Snrrognon ami Lavernoy, in the department of Haut Marne, and tho people were fright ened into a temporary panic Ben: Perley Poore's will was pro bated the other day at Newburyport. Mass. He divides his property among relatives, the relics and mementoes le ing distributed among friends. A well defined case of small pox was reported the other day in the Chinese district of San Francisco. The victim is one of the Chinese recently released from the quarantined ship, Belaic. A telegram from Washington an nounces that President Cleveland will visit St- Louis and Omaha as contem plated. His visit to Omaha will be made in September, stopping in the city half a day. Mrs. Anna Griffith, of Philadelphia, Pa., in a fit of insanity the other morn ing, cut the throat of her ten-yeare-old daughter with a razor and then cut her own throat, dying almost instantly. The child died in a few hours. It is Bxiid that President Cleveland one day last week issued an order modi fying his recent order consolidating in ternal revenue districts 60 far as effects collectors of districts in the States of North Carolina, and Iowa. Senator Mandersox when he heard of the President's order was very in dignant: "My answer is that I have a rebel bullet in my IkhIv which I have carried since the war. I must have it dug out and sent back." The World's" balloon that went tip from St. Louis the other day was com pelled to land on the night of the 17th, at Hoffman, Clinton county, 111., sibout fifty-five miles from SL Louis. It came down for the want of gas to sail it. 3Ils3 Anna Dickinson waB thought to Imj dying Sunday, and the church l)ells of Honeadale, Penn., were not rung on that day, in consideration of her condi tion. She is now better, but a change ol climate, and a long rest are urged. Thb custom authorities at Queens town who examined the baggage of the pawengem arriving on the etenmer Ad riatic from New York arrested Peter Troy for having to bis position a box of explosives. He says friend in Amen- A -Mm 4hA 1 to take home and affirms that the explosives ii tf box are harmless toy rockets. The Flap. The United States must, after all, bear a charmed life. One day the wires carry from the seat of government at Wash ington the declaration that the presi dent of these United States had or dered the captured rebel flags stored at Washington to be returned to those from whom they had been captured. The loyal element that labored and suf fered so much during the Rebellion to preserve the government from the machinations of treason, along with the hosts who were glad that these had con quered in that struggle, were thrown into a fever of excitement at once, and expressions of discontent, of shame, of indignation, and of outrage were not slow in going forward to the chief ex ecutive of the nation, who by this time knew that a serious mistake had been made, and the order was rescindod. While we have never thought that President Cleveland has shown any proper appreciation of the services of Union soldiers in the preservation of a free government, we can give him the credit due for correcting this mistake of returning the relel Hags, a mistake made, no doubt, in tho first place by an over anxiety to conciliate the element in this country that organized treason in 18G0, '01. With this as with many another case of trouble, there would not have been a beginning had the law in tho matter been consulted and followed, at the first, as it was at the last, and this one principle, subjection to law, must be engraven in the very hearts of the peo ple, and ploughed into tho fiber of every man who holds office in this country. The law of the land, that ia your guide and mine, and let us help see to it that all abide by it. There is but one Hag in this country that means government, and let it re main. Whatever the rebel Hag ever rep resented, let it continue as captured bunting, on exhibition at Washington, as a relic of attempted treason and overthrow of the government. The sight of it may deter some future Cal houn from proclaiming statesrights, and some future Jeff. Davis from or ganizing a rebel government; even some general, educated at public expense and sworn to fealty to the United States may, on sight of the. old rebel Hag, may con tinue to be loyal to his country, as did Old Pap Thomas, instead of following in the footsteps of Robt. E. Lee. We have one tlag, grand enough for this whole country, for every part and parcel of it let that Hag float in triumph; let all others be kept in show cases or laid away to rot out of the sight of men. The rebels were defeated; let the record stand. The patriotic mem ories of 1861, '65 are not dead. The momentous issues of that struggle are not to le lightly turned aside, either now or later along, under one pretense, or under another. Hereafter, let us be sure, as a people, that tho president of tho United States, whom we choose to enforce the laws, is heart-loyal, capable of comprehending all the affairs of a great people, and there will 1m no fear that tho glorious "ensign of the repub lic" will receive detriment from any quarter. At Iiot. The Iuter-State Commerce Commis sion has reached conclusions, under the fourth section of the law which are here given: Firsl Prohibition in the fourth sec tion against greater charge for shorter than for long distance over tho same line in the same direction, shorter being included within longer distance, as qualified therein, is limited to cases in which circumstances and conditions are substantially the same. Two -The phrase under substantially similar circumstances and conditions in the fourth section is used in the same sense as in the second section and under the qualified form of prohibition in the fourth section carriers are required to judge in the first instance with regard to similarity or dissimilarity in circum stances and conditions that forbid or permit greater charge for shorter dis tance. Three Judgment of carriers in re spect to circumstances and conditions is not final, but subject to the authority of the commission and courts. Fourth - The provisions of section one, requiring charges to be reasonable and just, and of section two, forbidding unjust discrimination, apply when ex ceptional charges are made under sec tion four, as they do in other cases. The existence of actual competition, which is of controlling force in respect to traffic, is important in the amount they make out of dissimilar circum stances and conditions, entitling the car rier to charge less for longer than for a shorter haul over the same line in the same direction, shorter being included in longer in the following cases: First. When the competition is with carriers by water, which are not subject to the pro visions of the statute. Second. When the competition is with foreign or other railroads which are not subject to the provisions of the statute. Third. In rare and peculiar cases where the com petition is between railroads which are subject to the statute when strict ap plication to the general rule of the statute would be destructive of competi tion. Sixth The commission further de cides that when greater chargo in aggre gate is made for the transportation of passengers or like kind of property for longer than for shorter distance over the same line in the same direction, shorter being included in longer distance, it is not sufficient justification therefore that the traffic which is subject to 6uch greater charge is way or local traffic, and and that which is given more favorable rates ia not, nor is it sufficient justifica tion for such greater charge than short haul traffic is more, expensive to the carrier, unless under circumstances such aa made it exceptionally expensive or long haul traffic exceptionally inex pensive, the difference being extraordi nary and susceptible of proof, nor that the lesser charge on the longer haul is merely a continuation of favorable rates under which trade centers or an indus trial establishment has leen built up. The fact that long haul traffic will only bear certain rates is no reason for car rying it for lees than cost at the ex peiitie of other traffic. Smart aiecks are trying to poke fun at Columbus in regard to her proposed street railway. Our citizens have voied the franchise, those originating the pro ject are ready to go along with it, and I we dou't see but the project is all right I Express Discrimination. The express charges between Platte Center and Omaha is $1 per cwt, and between Omaha and Columbus only fifty cents. Simply twice the amount What is the result? Our merchant are unfairly dealt with and forced to pay highway-robbery prices whenever they use the express company. But still another point creeps in; a dray from Columbus comes up and everybody "ex presses back to Columbus all the butter, eggs, and a great deal of miscellaneous articles, and whole cargoes of beer kegs for thirteen cents per cwt-" When the dray reaches Columbus the freight it carries is placed in the hands of the ex press company at fifty cents per cwt. By so doing our citizens save thirty seven cents on each and every hundred jioiinds. When a dray can compete with an express company to the advantage of seventy-five per cent for the shipper there is something "rotten in Denmark," and the express company should clean it out. Platte Center Argus. The Latest Items. Nicholas Anderson,Miss Hulda Priebe, and Miss Dora Runfelt were drowned Sunday night about 11 while boating on the lake at Kearney. Where they were drowned the water was about fifteen feet deep. Cause of accident unknown. On Sunday a mob set fire to the Jew ish quarter of the town of Dunah Szerdahcly in Hungary; 125 families were made homeless. Maxwell, alias Brooks, the murderer of Preller, is to be hanged. The date of execution is fixed for July 12. The body of Fred Fisher of Brady Island was found a few yards from his house, the back of the head crushed in, besides being shot Mrs. Albert Brooks, of Juniata, Tuscola county, Mich., had left in cash and real estate the sum of $80,000 by an uncle at Denver, CoL She last fall went to Denver, received the money and made arrangement for the management of the property, but since that time, no trace of the woman can be found. Re cently it is believed that detectives have discovered her imprisonment in California by a gang of men who have already secured 820,000 of her money and are determined to hold her captive until they secure it all. This is a mys terious and terrible case of kidnapping from a city like Denver to leave no trace of the victim. One of the severest storms ever known in that part of the country visited Grand Forks, Dak, on the afternoon of the 16th, destroying telegraph wires, blowing down houses and churches, and killing several persons and wounding others. The Catholic church was com pletely ruined and the Congregational church considerably damaged, together with about three hundred other build ings which were damaged more or less. The force of the wind was 60 strong that a heavy building belonging to the Austin Powder company was blown fullv half a mile. What is this world coming to, when the Lincoln Democrat, the state organ of the party in Nebraska, talks in the fallowing strain? Were it not for other signs strongly to the contrary, we would be tempted to think that some sort of a political millenium, so to speak, is at hand: When the saloons of Omaha are in danger eterj cutsed democrat in the city goes to the polls and works till the sweat rolls itown oil him in streams big enough to irrigate a crop. Hut when the control of the public schools is at stake a pitiful thousand creep haltingly to the ballot Isises. There are some things about democrats timt inuke us tired, uud this is one of them. One day last week tho new scale of the Amalgamated Association was given out at Pittsburg, Pa. As had been expected, it is an advance generally of ten per cent, on lowest rates, and besides this a numler of new speculations are made. The agreement stipulates among the new clauses that nine hours shall con stitute a day's work, and in no case shall it exceed ten. The scale was to be mailed at Pittsburg on the 15th inst., and sent to manufacturers throughout the country. In Monday's dailies there was a tele gram from Columbus, South Carolina, to the effect that Gov. Richardson had been solicited to provide arms and am munition to enable cavalry companies in Laurens county to take the field and protect the lives and property of the whites there from the negroes, who are represented ns threatening to rise and murder all the white men, etc. The negroes are said to be well armed by some mysterious agency. They have 6truck natural gas near Kansas City, though not a very large flow, at a depth of 128 feet sufficient to be utilized for practical purposes. This is the first one yet struck in the Mis souri valley, but it indicates that it is within reach and perhaps that coal hole they are boring at Omaha may de velop a quality of "gas" that may be put to some practical use. Fremont Herald. The Grand Lodge of Nebraska Free Masons held a meeting at their Masonic Hall at Omaha on the night of the 15th. About 200 delegates were present and they had a good time generally. Chas. K. Coutant delivered the welcoming ad dress. Every department of the Lodge was reported moving along nicely and the report of the Grand Treasurer showed a balance on hand of $11,769.67. A report came from Galveston, Tex., one morning last week that an east bound California express on the South ern Pacific railroad was robbed near Flatonia, Fayette county, about 95 miles east of San Antonia and 120 miles west of Huston. The express was robbed. No one killed. The robbers secured, it is said, $75,000. The board of examiners at Washing ton have completed designs for the cruisers and gunboats. The navy de partment offers a prize of 815,000 for the best designs for each type of vessel. The report giving the names of the suc cessful competitors will be given out in a short time. Not long ago Miss Minnie Jones, of Pittebnrg, Pa.-,- aged twenty-five, daugh ter of a retired banker and niece of Judge Gresham, and Lieutenant Alfred M. Fuller, United States cavalry, eloped and were married. Lientenant Fuller is forty years of age and is a graduate of West Point Dr. Mackensib the other day again examined the crown prince's throat. The doctor reports that he found the fungus growth had not enlarged and there were no signs of congestion. Knees t Wakoo. The Julv races of the Wahoo Trotting Association come off July 4-6, entries closing on the 2d. in premiums. $1,900 is to be givei Nebraska Cnaatnaaaa Assembly. The sixth annual session will be held at Crete, June 29th to July 9th,inclusive. Those who have the time aud means to enjoy the literary feast in preparation, will be amply repaid. The jury in the Chicago boodlere' case returned a verdict of guilty and fixed the penalty at three years in the peni tentiary. Judge Shepherd declined to admit to bail either McDonald or Mc Garigle, and the convicted men were taken to jail. NEBRASKA NOTES. , Theodore Geltner was drowned one day last week near Seward while in bathing. From all parts of Nebraska come very favorable reports of all kinds of eropB, better than last year. Capt. Eads, living near Glenville, Clay county, was killed by lightning while he was driving home from the village. Capt. J. D. Head, living not far from Hastings, was struck and killed the other afternoon by lightning. He leaves a wife and two daughters. The Lutheran Synod in session at Omaha for two weeks closed up their business lsfet Saturday and adjourned to meet at Allegheny City, Pa., for their next biennial convention. An excursion train was run out one day last week from Albion to Peters burg to attend the town site auction. A large crowd was reported present. Fifty lotB sold for about S8.000. Henry'Christian, aged 17 years, son of D. Christian, a German living south of Grand Island, in attempting to drive some cattle over the Platte river, was drowned. His lxdy was recovered the next day. One night last week thieves broke into the store of Williams & Kerr, at Grand Island and secured a few dollars in cash besides destroying some 840 of merchandise exchange. About 1,000 cigars were also carried away. Senator Manderson reports that the clerk of the committee on printing to succeed the late Ben: Perley Poore, is to be M. H. Michaels of Grand Island, Senator Manderson is chairman of the committee, and says he felt it his duty to give the clerkship to a Nebraska man. A negro and a white man were ar rested the other day at Benkleman for holding up a negro in a box car west of that place. They secured 830 of his money, jumped off the train and left the negro to go on to Haigler, where he tel egraphed back and had them arrested. Dan Wortman met with an accident last week while unloading some heavy timber. He had one end of a 6x6 oak stick on his shoulder and was dragging the timber from a wagon. The other end dropped off sooner than he ex pected and the force of the timber in striking the ground was so great as to prostrate him and break his collar bone. Ord Quiz. Grant Luper, a machinist in the B. & M. shops at Plattsmouth, was ar rested the other day for kidnapping his own child from its mother. Previous to taking the baby, he had by false pre tenses induced his wife to deed to him some 315,000 worth of property left her by her mother. Steps have been taken to secure tho child and cancel the deeds. The citizens of Blaine county turned out the other day in large numbers and held a meeting at Brewster for the pur pose of electing officers and selecting a place for holding their county fair. It was located at Brewster for three years. J. D. Brown was elected president, R. O. Dunning, vice-president, T. C. Jackson, treasurer and George W. Brewster, sec retary. The Ixidy of Swan Lindquist, living about four miles north of Mead, was found the other morning by neighlors. He has been baching all alone, and of late has rather been demented, having shown several signs of insanity. A re volver was lying by his body and it is supposed he had been lying in that con dition for several days as decomposition had already set in. His case will be in vestigated. Nearly a thousand people witnessed the race between Sorrel Nellie, owned by George Slade of Palmyra, and Bay Dick, owned by John Richardson of Eagle, which took place at Palmyra one day last week. The race was very close, the distance being a quarter of a mile. The judges decided it a tie. It was claimed that heavy betting was done on both sides, but we suppose the public don't know the facts. The other night an attempt was made to enter and rob the State Bank at Cortland, but the robbers were frightened away, leaving a dark lantern and other tools. Charles Chase and Thoe. Martin, the suspected parties, have been arrested and taken to Beatrice for examination. Martin lives in Cort land, and Chase, whose real name is believed to be Eugene Hughs, comes from Nebraska City. Another sus pected party is at large, but will be ar rested. Mr. Charles P. Mathewson packed up his household goods this week and this morning with his family he left for his new home amid the mining regions of Colorado. With how much anguish of mind he left the scenes of his former triumphs and turned his back on a home fitted with all modern equipments of comfort, no one knows. It is certain that the experiences of the past year nave cuHaieueu huh sou leu tneir in delible impression on his life. He and his estimable family have many friends here who will still wish them well wherever their lot may be cast. Nor folk Journal, -n Washington Letter. (From our regular correspondent.! The President and his alter ego. Col. Lamont, have returned from the breezy lakes of the Adirondacks to find in the Washington temperature a reminder of winter. For two days it has been cool enough for light overcoats, and the pro cession to the seashore have been tem porarily halted. Two millionaires have been prominent in local interests during the week. Jay Gould made a flying unostentatious visit here on his steam yasht, Atlanta. The beautiful vessel was anchored about a mile below the city while the millionaire and his wife came ashore and remained half a day driving to some of the places of interest Mr. Gould, it is said, is in search of health and recrea tion. He improved the opportunity to visit the tomb of Washington at Mount i Vernon, and stood upon the bluff from " which it is said that Washington C il , ,. threw a silver dollar to the Maryland ' shore, a full half mile distant. The Eng lish Chief Justice Coleridge heard of this fabulous feat when ho stood on the same promntory three years ago, and said he was not prepared to dispute it, but if it wore so, it was evidence that a dollar would go farther in Washington's time than it would now. Mr. Corcoran, the Washington million aire and philanthropist, was stricken with paralysis last week while seated at the dinner table; death seemed inevit able, for now the venorablo good man is in his eighty-ninth year, but his re covery has lieen rapid and remarkable, and his physician says he hopes to have him ready for his usual summer sojourn at the White Sulphur Virginia springs, within a week. There has been a revival of talk in po litical circles, about an extra session during the week, but the better opinion is that the President will not issue tho call. Mr. Carlisle is expected here lefore long, and when he comes the situation will be discussed between him aud other members who will thengbe in the city,and arrangements well be made more formal conference, and possibly for a caucus a little later. The indications are now that the men who wish to take the tax off of tobacco will have strength enough to do so, and the only question is, whether it will bo done under agree ment or compromise with the tariff re formers. Many of whom are among those who want the tobacco tax re moved, or by a coalition with the re publicans. Tho difficulty the tobacco men find in dealing with the latter is that they will insist upon taking tho duty off sugar, which Mr. Randall and his followers aro opposed to. If tho democrats agree timong themselves, they can keep the duty on sugar. A vigorous effort will bo made in the coming Congress to have Inaugural day changed from the 4th of March to tho 30th of April, tho day upon which Washington was inaugurated. The pro posed celebration of the centennial of the adoption of the constitution has al ready been much agitated. The Senate at its last session passed a resolution in its favor, and Congress is committed to both this project and the celebration of the four httndredth anniversary of the discovery of America in 1892. The infantry and artillery arms of tho service have long had encampments in the District, but tho cavalry branch of the service has been kept busy on the frontier. It is the intention of Gen. Sheridan to station two cavalry com panies here to take part in official pa rades. The recent competitive drill so much pleased the commanding general, that be has determined to use his efforts to have Congress make an appropria tion for an annual drill to be held at Washington under tho supervision of officers of the regular army. Such a drill wottld doubtless be effective in promoting the efficiency and esprit du carps of the many volunteer organiza tions throughout the country, and it would doubtless keep in training an ef fective and well equipped small army that would respond promptly in the hour of need. It is against the genius of our institutions and the policy of our government to maintain a large army, but as prudential measures we will do well to keep alivo the military habit and spirit.

"In peace, prepare for war;" in summer, nre- S8.ro for winter, and among yonr preparations on't forget that if you can save one-third to one-half on our expense for fuel, by an ni- filianco of little cost, it will par you to take a ittle trouble to provide yourself with one. Francis Marak. jr.. of Everest, Kan., the in ventor of the appliance referred to, is here dis Msin of territory, ami has made some sales of counties. The appliance is an ordinary drum except that it is divided into apartments running the length of the dram: one of these is virtually a contin uation of the pipe, when the damper is not turned, and makes a direct draft when desired for starting a fire; when the damper is turned, the partitions are so arranged that the heated air and smoke go alternately upward and down ward through all the apartments (usually five in number, owing to tho relative size of pipeand drum) and finally up the chimney. The princi ple is precisely the same as that of the famous Slennonite heating furnaces, and applied to cook or heating stoves, utilizes a great deal more of the heat evolved from the fnel than is done by the ordinary drum. The pictures of progress are these: A fire, on the ground, under the open canopy of heaven; two (tosts, a cross stick and the pot of victuals hanging over the tire. Second, the same, only a rude wall around, and a rone-shaped, roof, with a hole in tho middle for tho smoke to curl out at. Third, the oien grate, in tho open fire-place, a great portion of the heat escaping up the chim ney into the outer air. Fourth, the stove. Fifth, the stove and drum, increasing the amount of surface heated by the same fuel. Sixth, the greatly improved drum, or Hadia. tob, with a more intense and therefore more penetrating heat from tho same amount of fuel; forming a reservoir for heat except as it escais through the metallic enclosure, anil what little gets out through the chimney. Abundant certificates can ha givt-n from those who hae used the KADIITOB that it does all that is claimed for it, but tho following are suf ficient: Hluk Hills. Nkbr., i March 'A, 167.

It attacked mo most in my arms and legs. The latter wore drawn up, and when I could walk I had to go all bent over. Finally I went to Hot Springs, Ark., whore I re mained several weeks. I was benefited and thought I was well, and camo home. On my arrival home it developed again. I then took a course of S. S. S.. using three dozen bottles. They thoroughly cured me, and from that day to this I have been perfectly, free from rheuma tism. I regard S. S. S. ns absolute in tho cure of rheumatism, and a perfect blood purifier, I think it tho best medicine in tho world, and if I can help it I never expect to use any other. It is a splendid general medicine, cleansing out the system, and thus getting at the root of most diseases. J. D. Carter. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
