W. H. Mentet of Lincoln committed Huicido Monday. Form more deaths from sunstroke in Cincinnati by noon on the 16th. The 15th and 16th proved fatal from the heat to many citizens in this coun try. IIeuu Kkupp, the great gun maker of Germany, died at Essen, Prussia, July 14th. Elmer Thompson, of Fullerton, was fatally wounded Monday by the acciden tal discharge of a rille. The B. & M. storehouse at Lincoln burned Monday night; it contained 400 barrels of oil; loss, S15,000 to 825,000, fully insured. Mrs. Jons A. Witter, of Denver, Col., was arrested the other afternoon on a charge of causing the death of her hus hand by the administration of arsenic, and gave lnnd in the sum of 310,000. Four negro children being left at home near Tishula, Miss., not long ago while their parents went to church, the eldest set a lighted lamp near the bed which caught lire and the three chil dren were burned to death. .Tonx Vanstox and J. H. Cluni, Amer icans, one night not long ago at Paso del Norte, Mexico, were arrested for sandbagging and highway robbery. The Mexican code makes highway robbery a capital crime and they will probably be shot. The Normal Institute of Stanton county was reported last week to stir press anything of the kind ever attempt ed there before. Forty teachers were al ready in attendance, and half as many more were expected. It will continue in session until August 1. The corner stone of the new Masonic hall of Hebron, was laid ono day last week with impressive and appropriate ceremonies of tho order. The exercises were conducted by M J. Hull, Most Worthy Grand Master of tho state. E. M. Correll. of Hebron, delivered a mas terly and eloquent address. Rev. William W. Turner, for many years principal of the American Asylum for Deaf and Dumb, and one of the earliest teachers of deaf mutes in this country, died one day last week at Hartford, Conn., aged 87 years. He graduated from Yale in 1819, and was one of the oldest living graduates. Miss Jane E. Hall, of Pennsylvania, and her sister, have brought suit against the United States government to re cover 84,000,000. The ladies claim to be the lineal descendants of one Jacob De Haven, who in 1777 loaned the Colonial government half a million francs with which to pay troops, and later contribut ed further money. Too hot for iolitic8, nevertheless, we desire our Republican friends in tho country, to keep ns fully posted on the movements of the numerous, anxious, democratic aspirants, who wish to serve their countrymen as county officials. Almost everything can be heard at the county seat, but men do not travel the countv for nothing. It appears at Washington City from further investigation that Oscar J. Harvey, the treasury clerk forger who carried through so many fraudulent claims for horses lost by army officers, also pushed to completion about twenty genuine but neglected or abandoned claims, on which he realized 5255, mak ing his total stealings 11,070. An accident happened to the President's train on the night of the 16th, while re turning from Clayton to Aldercreek. The engine was disabled by the break ing of the connecting bar on the right hand side of the engine, and the huge piece of steel revolved with terrible ve locity, tearing out one side of the cab and ripping up the ties and ground as the engine rushed along. A huge frac ture was made in the boiler and the steam escaped in volumes. The engin eer was found dead beside the cab. Additional particulars from the St. Thomas, Ont,, horrible railroad collision fixed the number killed at nineteen, nnd ibe injured at about forty. When the crash came two cars containing tanks filed witfc crude oil, and a car loaded vitk barrels of refined oil, and almost before the passengers heard the crash of tke collision it was tollowed by a tremendous explosion, which was iietu-,1 for miles. In a moment sheets of fire reached out and enveloped the cars and the dwellings and warehouses in the Vicinity. Serious Accident. Tuesday last two small boys, sons of a Mr. Sheridan residing near Okay, were engaged in cutting wheat with .a self binder. The larger boy was driving, and the smaller was riding the near horse of t.h second team, as usual when the horses became frightened and unman ageable and ran, throwing the younger boy who was unable to get away, before the machine, in full gear, which passed entirely over him, almost severing a leg from his body and otherwise cutting him severely. Small hopes are enter tained for his recovery. The above we get from a friend in Genoa. The Platte Center Argus gives a difierent version: Charles, a sixteen-years-old son of Michael Sheridan, who was driving a binder, got off to oil the machine, when the Hies so bothered the horses that they ran off. They circled around through a good deal of corn and oats, and after running about 2C miles, the young man, doubtless thinking he might stop them, ran in front of them for that purpose, but was knocked down in front of the sickle, the guard cutting some painful, but not necessarily serious wounds, three in the shoulder and one in the side and hin. He was otherwise considerably bruised and had not oppor tune aid been rendered by a man near by, possibly yonng Sheridan would have been fatally wounded. The horses were not injured. Cure for Hydrophobia. A German forest keeper, eighty-two years old, has published a recipe he used for fifty years, which has saved several men and a great number of animals from death by hydrophobia. The bite must be bathed as soon as possible with warm vinegar and water, and when this is dried, a few drops of muriatic acid poured on the wound will destroy the poison of tho saliva and relieve the pa tient from all present and future dan ger. . Jacob Sharp, of New York, was sen tenced the other day by Judge Barrett to four years imprisonment, with a tine of $5,000. N EB K ASK A NOTES. Waterworks londs at Seward were de feated tho other day by a small majority. The Fremont Tribune has been sued for libel by W. H. Michael for calling him a thief and scoundrel. Two cases of sunstroke occurred one day last week at Nebraska City, one of which was fatal. The thermometer registered 102 in the shade. The National Education Association of teachers was in convention at Chica go last week. We notice that from Ne braska there were some sixteen in atten dance. The sod house of William Qninn, who lives three miles northeast of Ravenna, fell in one night last week, fatally in juring Mrs. Quiun, who w:is alone at the time of the accident. Chadron has at last succeeded in ob taining the northwestern land office, with General Montgomery and A. W. Crites as receiver and register, respect ively, and Miss E. Boyle as assistant, and under tho supervision of Inspector Hobbs. Governor Thayer has pardoned Bar ney Fitzsimmons, who killed Pearl Focade in Lincoln threo years ago, and was convicted of manslaughter and sent to the penitentiary for five years. He has served two years and ten months of his time. Thomas Boggs. residing near Filley, attempted suicide one morning last week by taking poison, and disappointment in a supposed to le the cause. Despondency love affair are He was in a precarious condition, and his recovery is doubtful. R. D. Montfort of Stromebnrg, rec ognized the body of the young man who committed suicide at Schuyler the other day, as his son. Some years ago he was sun-struck, and during warm weather ever since, his bead has trou bled him. Mrs. A. H. Potter was prostrated Wed nesday noon by a nervous attack. She was in a dangerous condition all after noon and did not fully recover until Thursday morning, but is resting quite comfortably as we go to press. Hum phrey Independent. Louise Zeile8, a twelve years old daughter of Wm. Zeiles, of Nebraska City, died ono day last week of lockjaw, caused from stepping on a garter snake lying in the grass in the yard, and run ning one ot the teeth deep into her foot. The case brought by G. WT. Waisner against W. E. Wahl, at Albion for em bezzlement was dismissed by the justice, is becoming quite interesting since Wahl has commenced suit against Waisner to recover 84,000 damages for false imprisonment. Wm. Gadd, a lemonade and candy dispenser with Barrett's circus, while the circus was en route to Beatrice drank from a lottle of aconite, mis taking it for whiskey, and in a short time died of the poison. He was dead when the train arrived at Beatrice. Dr. Randall, of Roseville, O., who was so badly burned in tho B. & M col lision on the 15th inst., died in the after noon of the 16th. His son Charley, is lying at the point of death. The com pany made an investigation and found the resionsibility of the accident rested upon J. Bowser, engineer on the west bound freight, who was asleep. Mrs. Tate received a severe- fall Mon day and remained in an unconscious 6tate for about ten hours. She wau feeding calves and was tripped by a picket rope and thrown heavily to the ground. Dr. Hart was summoned, and pronounces no serious injury, npd thinks the patient will soon recover from the effects of the shock. Humphrey Inde pendent. The live stock commission of the state have entered on their docket from the 11 of April to the 1st of July, in all 255 complaints of cases of diseased horses. These coinplairtfcs came from sixty-four counties of the state. They have passed upon 136 cases in 41 counties, leaving 119 unexamined. Eighty-five head arerp killed, four of which were of no value. The indemnity on others amounted to $3,997. Only ten complaints were re ceived on cattle. Ad we go to press we learn through Mr. JfiSfp. Folda of his 14-years-old ixy being bitten liy a rattlesnake. The boy was repairing fence vWhen jhe was bitten rom behind on the foot. He did not lose his presence of mind, but got down and squeezed out some of the poison, and then hurried to the house, where the other boys went to killing chickens and applied the fresh meat to the wound. Whisky and other usual reme dies were used, and the lad was pulled safely through. Mr. Folda and his wife were away to town at the time. Schuy ler Nova Doha. A gypsy family living in Custer county, who came from Sarpy county sometime ago, and who go by the name of Overton, and whom the son reporta as living unhappily and indulging in frequent quarrels. The oldest boy was awakened the other night by the report of a gun, and springing up to see what was the matter, he found the body of his father lying on the floor with the top of his head shot off, and his mother lying near the door, insensible. The shotgun, which had been fired, lay on the floor between them. The parties wore in custody awaiting examination. The speech delivered by ex-Senator Van Wvck on the Fourth of July, at Wakefield, and printed in another col umn, shows that Mr. VanWyck yet re mains the foe of corporations has sen sible ideas and possesses the courage to maintain them. It can no longer be claimed that his utterances are the va porings of a demagogue. Tried and not found wanting in his high position of trust and honor, for six years he battled for the people fearlessly and courage ously waging his war upon the tnonied kings and monopoly power. As strong in defeat as in success, he continues his good work in favor of the toiling masses. Omaha Bee. Wa-iBiagtoB Letter. From our regular correspondent. The Government -fiscal year ended June 3Cth, and I do not know how I could interest your readers more than by giving a resume of Federal finances for the period named. For that time Government receipts were $371,380,893, against 336,439,727, the previous year. The disbursements for the same time, inclusive of pensions and interest on the notional debt, were 8268,515,190, against 8242,483,138, the preceding year; the surplus was $102,864,703, against 893,- 956,589, the year before. With the ex ception of the years 1882, 1883 and 1884, the surplus has not been so large since 1867. Tho receipts are greatly in excess of the estimates. The Secretary of the Treasury, in his annual report, Decem ber 1886, put them at 8356,000,000. Thus tho immense surplus goes on piling up, and the question that drafts all others into utter insignificance is how to dis pose of it, or rather to prevent tho Na tional treasury from absorbing all the country's circulating medium and thus paralyze every interest of the people. But this being a tough problem, which it is the exclusive privilege of our demo cratic friends to solve, I must desist from the assumption of the task so enormous and uncongenial. However, I wish to quote one of the ablest and most eminent of living finan ciers, and one of the best of republicans Senator Sherman in fixing up the democracy the whole responsibility for the existence of the surplus: "The sur plus in the treasury should not be there and it would not be there had the demo cratic congress, or the House of Repre sentatives, which was overwhelmingly democratic, performed their duty, which was clearly to reduce the taxes. Of course the party is responsible for the surplus. The leaders tried to cut down the revenue and disagreed among them selves." The usual changes incident to the Government's new year were made in varions departments; there were forty dismissals from the government printing office, about twelve in the treasury and more or less in all, but there were a few additions to the force in some of the departments. I wish to refer to an individual case, because it not only concerns a his torical character that will interest all true republicans, but unmasks the hy pocrisy of the sham reformer, Vilas. Miss Van Lew, a lady who was loyal- living in Richmond during the rebellion and concealing and feeding many Union soldiers who had escaped from the hor rors of Libby prison, and also conveying valuable information to Gen. Grant dur ing the last year of the war and when that immortal hero became president he gave Miss Van Lew charge of the Rich mond post office, which Bhe surrendered for a clerkship in the post office depart ment, paying $1,000, from which Vilas, the dude and fraud, of the Cabinet, has degraded her to a $720 position to make room for a lady not so well known. Secretary Lamar is greatly disturbed over the disclosure that Levi Bacon, the lately deceased financial clerk of the Patent office, who was universally popu lar and respected is a defaulter for $32,000. Some of the clerks are more distressed than the Secretary, as their due bills for salaries illegally advanced were found among Bacon's papers and as far as it can be done, these obliga tions will be deducted from their salaries. One clerk was advanced 8500, which a relative refunded to protect him. At the pension office it is stated that 112,340 pension certificates were issued during the last fiscal year of which number 55,194 were original cases; 8,455 were Mexican claims under the act of January 29th, 1887. In 1864, with the proofs of disability in nearly all cases particularly on hand, there were 50,127 original allowance made, this was the largest number of certificates ever issu ed up to the last year, when the record of the previous year was largely ex ceeded. I thjnk it may be seriously doubted whether the President will have a "walkover" for reuomination, because the nineteen men who failed to secure the place for which there were twenty applicants, in almost every instance, are bitterly adverse to the administration and will exercise an influence by no means to be despised. Betting has al ready becun on the next presidential election; Mr. Wash. Nailor. of this city, has bet a Buffalo man $500 that the president will ppf, be re-elected. It is a simrnlar coincident that pn the sixth aniversary of the assassination of President Garfield a dangerous lunatic was arrested in this city tor threatening President Cleveland's life, Tba man hailed from Illinois and imagines that the president is unjustly withholding a fabnjons sum of money due him. As iha festive thermometer is welter ing with ike nineties, Washington has the hot ag.d Blazing jegiijation July weather, tt tjje Chicago man who in forms the Navy department tpat'fte is building a great air ship that can carry 200 passengers to the north pole should come now. the balloonist would get at least one passenger here. B. 1 COLUMBUS HIGH SCHOOL. Orations and Essays of the Graduate. 87th, 1887. May THE NECESSITY OF TRAINING OUB PHYSICAL AS WELL AS MENTAL POWERS, BY ROBERT M'KEAN. "A sound mind in a sound body" is an ancient motto to indicate the perfect man. So intimate is the relation of all our mental and physical powers that neither can be healthy when the other is diseased. Neglect of the physical health is a great fault of our times, as a little care ful observation will show. The greed for gain, the ambition for place and power, and the American thrift and inherent disposition to excel all others, have developed some one talent at the sole expense of the others, all these tend to make our people lose sight of those systematic and well-es tablished rules so well known to the scientific world, on which our physical well being depends. The evil is a great and growing one. Take all the great men of our country who have passed away during the last year, did they live the time allotted to man, three score and ten years? No. Why? Just at the age when their large experience and observation, made their judgment and council of the utmost value to their country and mankind, they are snatched away by the fell de stroyer. Whereas, had they developed their physical man as they did their mental, they might otherwise have lived to a ripe old age and fulfilled their iniSion in life. Take each individual man and out of some ten or twelve of America's brightest lights, all with the exception of two or three came to an untimely end, by a disease whose origin dates back to the time when they began to dwarf their physical to sustain and build up their mental powers. Why is this? is it for the want of knowledge, when their sole aim is the pursuit of wisdom, or is it pure neglect? Perhaps. As to men who have had proper re gard for the laws of health, we may men tion Gladstone, Longfellow, George Bancroft, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and these men, as we all know, lived or are living to a vigorous old age. And, on the other hand, may be men tioned Prince Bismark, Horace Greely and the Hon. John A. Logan. While these men may have had a large and robust frame at one time, furnishes proof for us that men must exercise and avoid exposure or their bodies crumble and they fall. The importance of a sound body has heretofore been sadly underestimated by the people at large. In their very liberal provisions for public education, they have bad regard to the mental powers alone. Schools for mental training, lyceums and public libraries are everywhere es tablished, but where do we find atten tion given to the physical wants of man? The school buildings, public halls and dwellings of the people are often con structed with singular disregard, to the health of those who are to occupy them. How many schoolrooms and churches are constructed with regard to so sim ple a matter as pure air? There is no doubt that in many of these, the young and growing pupils have sown the seed which later in life sprung up to the harvest of death. The hardy ways of the early pioneer are more a tribute to his ignorance or stupidity than to his native hardihood, for we find no class of people so de crepit from rheumatism and miasma that poisons the blood and blights the life of the unfortunate pioneer, who passed hh? youth in the poorly warmed and lighted shelter of the backwoods man. If we could be brought to realize tho fact that to strengthen ourselves physically, strengthens us mentally and that we cannot expect a tine and active brain from a puny and sluggish hotly, nor a sound and healthy thought from a diseased brain, it would perhaps tend to direct our mind more to this line. The Greeks had a high regard for this branch of training. So much so that the Spartans set aside all others for it. But in modern times and especially in America, physical training in anything like a popular sense has been almost wholly disregarded. Is it not about time that we begin to give this subject the attention its im portance demands? What signifies a well-drilled mind if the trembling nerves and weak muscles fail to give it application and force in the world's affairs. Proper training in breathing and walking, diet and repose, work and recreation, public and private architec ture, would in time lessen disease, by guarding against the hardships of our climate, by building up the physical man, prove a public blessing and have a marked effect on the healthfulness and longevity of our nation. CHARACTER, BT ALICE WATKINH. In treating this subject it would be well in the first place to give its mean ing. Character is a moral order seen through the medium of an individual nature. Next to be considered is, from what It is formed, at which the following idea suggests itself. Character is formed by a variety of minute circumstances more or less un der the control of the individual. It is considered one of the greatest motive powers in the world, and illustrates human nature in its highest form. Character is property, and is the noblest of possessions, that is if it be good character. If it is only of slow growth its true qualities cannot be wholly concealed. There are many persons who may be said to have no other possession in the world but their character, yet they stand as firmly upon it as any crowned king. For although superiority and genius al ways command, admiration, good charac ter secures respect, and respect is the thing to be most proud of. Also, whoever strives to do his duty faithfully, is fulfilling the purpose for which he was create apd building up in himself the foundations of a manly character. Has character no properties? Itcerr tainly has; nothing is better for the formation of good character than self control, for it is at the root of all virtues. It ja aJso the very essence of character. "Wprk jsocepf the best educators of character, for it calls forth and devel oped obedience, attention, self-control and perseverance, giving a man skill in his special dealings with the affairs of ordinary life. Manners are the principal, outward signs of character. It is not so simple and unimportant as some may think it to be. The manners which are neglected as small things are those which decide men, for or against ns. In character and manners the supreme excellence is simplicity. Every action, thought or feeling contributes to charac ter either to elevate or degrade it. By intimation of acts, the character becomes slowly nnd imperceptibly, but at length decidedly formed. The several acts may seem in thoin selves mere trifles, but so are the con tinuous acts of daily life. Like snow flakes, they fall unheeded, each flake added to the pile making no sensible change, yet the accumulation of Bnow- flakes makes the avalanche. So do repeated acts, one following another, at length become solidified into habit and determine the action of the individual, for good or for evil, and, in a word, form the character. Success in life is achieved less by genius than by character, and it is by patience and self-control that a truly brave character is perfected. Character exhibits itself in conduct, guided by in tegrity and practical wisdom. Although the force of example will greatly in fluence the formation of character, the sustaining force of one's own spirit must be the main stay. It is a common saying, "Men are known by the company they keep." The sober do not naturally associate with the drunken, nor the decent with the dissolute. To associate with de praved persons argues a low tasto and vicious tendencies, and to frequent their society leads to certain degredation of character. It is a well known fact that men who have anything to do with the affairs of a country can form its charac ter. It has been said of Luther, "that he left lehind him no ready money, no treasures of coin of any description. He was so poor, (during a portion ot his life) that he was forced to turn his hand to watch-making and gardening, but while he was thus working with his hand, he was moulding the character of his country." The man of character is conscientious. He puts his conscience into his works. A splendid example of this kind of per sons was Cromwell. When asking par liament for reinforcements to aid the serving soldiers he said, ,4They must be men of character." What is to le done with intellectual capacity and wealth? Have they re lations to character? Intellectual capacity has no necessary relations whatever to character, for it is sometimes found associated with the lowest morals. Still less has wealth any connection with the elevation of character. It is more frequently tho cause of its cor ruption and degredation, while a con dition of. comparative poverty is agree able with character in its highest form. A little girl once said to her mother, "Ma will the rich and poor people live together when they all go up to heaven?" The mother answered, "les my dear, thev will all be alike then." "Well then ma," resumed the little girl, "why don't rich and poor Christians associate to gether?" The mother's reply was, "Sally had better put you to bed, my love, yon are getting Bleepy." Of course the answer can be easily imagined. It is wealth that has made the rich corrupt. Character can thns be divided into two classes, the good and the bad, and a person with a bad character is very abusive, but when certain persons abuse us, let us ask what description of charac ter they most admire. From what we have said, all may see which of the two it is our interest to try to develop. "A good name is more val uable than jewels," it is an inheritance that will always be with us, though wealth and position take wings and fly away. Drunkenness or the Liquor Habit Positively Cored by Administering Dr. Haines" Golden Specific. It can be given in a cup of coffee or tea without the knowledge of the person taking it; is absolutely harmless and will effect a permanent and speedy cure, whether the patient iB a moderate drink er or an alcoholic wreck. Thousands of drunkards have been made temperate men who have taken Golden Specific in their coffee without their knowledge,and today believe they quit drinking of their own free will. IT NEVER FAILS.

I had a sore on my upper lip for eight years. Seven different doctors attempted in vain to heal it. One gave me a small vial for five dollars, which was a "certain cure." It is need less to say that it did mo no good. About two years ago I became quite un easy, as people thought I had a cancer, and I took a course of eighteen bottles of S. S. S. The result has been a com plete cure. The ulcer or cancer healed beautifully, leaving scarcely a precept ible scar. From that day I have been in excellent health, the Specific having purified my blood thoroughly, increased my appetite and perfected my digestion. In a word, I feel like a new woman, and, best of all, the eight years ulcer is gone entirely. Yours sincerely, Mrs. W P. Caxxost. Trenton, Todd Co. Ky., Feb. 25, 1887, Two Bottles Effect a Care.
