A large at tendance is anticipatek. It has been very plainly hinted by the president that an extra session of con gress will be called sometime in October. The report that Blaine was sick and had resigned is not well founded. Blaine is well enough to cause anxiety among his politicial opponents. Thk tanks of the Consolidated Oil company ot St. Joseph, Mou, were struck by lightning on the morning of theUtn and destroyed by fire. The loss is esti mated at $7000. Thk election of delegates to the Wy oming constitutional convention result ed in 32 republicans, 16 democrats and 3 independents. The convention is to meet September 2d. Pasts of Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont and Maryland suffer much damage from a violent and destructive wind and rain storm on the 13th, the storm in New York having hail mixed with the wind and rain. Gbkat rain and wind storms prevailed last week at Utica, Johnstown, Albany, N. Y., and Greensburg, Pa, Much dam age was done to property; washing away railroad tracks and bridges, blow ing down houses and in some cases de stroying life. A kkpobt of the commissioner of agri culture for 1888 has reached this office by the courtesy of Senator Manderson. We have not yet had time to examine it carefully, but think, from a brief inspec tion, that it is a great improvement on works of that kind in general. Is the Montana constitutional conven tion Watson of Fergus county has in troduced a resolution in regard to trusts or combinations that may raise or con trol the prices of the necessaries of life; that laws may be enacted to keep such combinations under state control. That wizard ot invention, Edison, is engaged in working on a machine for oaiwg people at a distance an electric mirror, so to speak. Just think of the possibilities with the aid of such an in strument! What a demand there would have been at the time of the late fight between Sullivan and Kilrain! Gov. Thayer authorizes the statement that he is not a candidate for renomina tion to the office he now holda He has had no conversation with anyone on the abject, and Mr. Dorsey spoke without authority when he said that a third term was desired. This ought to be con sidered final State Journal. One of the absurd rumors afloat at Washington is that Senator Manderson is to be appointed to the supreme bench vacancy, and that Congressman Dorsey has everything arranged to step into Manderson's senatorial frogans. This will be very interesting news both to President Harrison and Gov. Thayer. Mas. xx-Pbbsidkkt TxiiER died at the Exchange hotel, Bichmond, Va Wed nesday evening from a congestive chill. She had only been at the hotel since Sunday evening and was to have left Monday to visit a son on the James river.

IiAWKKHCK OTooek, foreman of the Ohio Connecting Bailway company, was set upon by a number of Italian labor en Wednesday at Cork's Bun, Pa, and almost beaten to death. In the struggle he had a pick driven through his eye. Police dispersed the mob. OToole will probably die. The riot was caused by OToole discharging one of the men. G. M. Hitchcock, the wealthy and tilftod young editor of the Omaha World, has purchased the Herald of the same place, and will conduct them to gether, the morning paper being eight page and the evening four page. Each will have its own staff of editors and writers, and neither will be a rehash of the other. Success to the venture. Oct forefathers were wise beyond the times in which they lived for keeping church and state separate. For the first time in the history of the world have the people of a great nation enjoyed re hgkMBS freedom, which has been so full aatd complete an enjoyment that most of our people know absolutely nothing of raligiawi intolerance.

Trees wan torn up and houses blown down and all window lights on the north side of build ings broken. The damage done to crops was very great. At Palmer the opera house block was unroofed and nearly demolished. The store room of E. B. Penny, with his stock of goods was demolished. The residence of James Brady, six miles east of Albion, was struck by light ning and damaged at least $500. All the family, except the parents, were bad ly shocked, Miss Kittie the most se verely bat she is getting over it slowly. Judge Hudson got a letter from Will Wiaterbotbam of Genoa, giving an ac count of the storm between that point and St Edward and vicinity. James Hudson's crops were badly damaged. John Peters of Albion passed through this city Monday and said that he had traveled all day Sunday, and that in the west half of Boone county the damage to growing crops was very great by reason of wind and haiL At Cedar Bapids the river rose rapidly and partially washed away the flume to the milL Men worked hard all night putting in sand bags. The mill proper ty was damaged to the extent of $3,000. The river was filled with timbers, lum ber and carcasses of cattle and hogs, showing much damage. Andrew Peter son's house, four miles northwest of town was blown to pieces. The family escaped by going into a cave, when the storm came up. At Ogallala, Amos Bobenett was kil led by lightning in a stable between two horses which were also killed. At Fullerton a large flouring mill fell over into the river and is reported a total wreck, sacks of flour going down stream. The TJ. P. lost a bridge at this point Hon. A. P. Brink, from Cedar Bapids passed through the city yesterday and is reported as saying that in places be tween Cedar Bapids and Fullerton the crops were literally cutoff to the ground by hail, corn stalks standing bare six to eight inches high. THE TRUSTS. CaaiUIizatiea of the DlfereatTnuta Orgaa Ised is this Ceaatry. New York, July 12. James Weeks, chairman of the committee on unlisted securities of the New York stock ex change, succeeded in learning the amount of certificates the various trusts have outstanding. The biggest one turns out to be one of the newest the lead trust Its officers sent word that there had been issued 830,188 certificates of the par value of $100 each, represent ing a capitalization of $83,01800. Less than two months ago it was known that the capital of this trust was about $32,- 000,000, this increase of over $5,000,000 in so short a period, paralyzed Wall street, and there was a rush to dispose of these certificates. This forced the prices down and made the lead trusts very weak and shaky. The following table will show the capitalization of each of the five trusts: Lead $88,880 Sonar 483M.500 Cotton OH 42.1863W Distillers and cattle feeder 3O,iaB.60O American cattle 13,996,100 Total $2,18J,aOO Wiater KaiafaU. We give some records of Nebraska rainfall. The amounts are in measured rain and melted snow, given in inches and decimals of an inch. The time is for six months winter. The sum mer rains average higher, and for the year average twenty-five inches, while the average for Paris, France, is twenty inches. e3 vr. r .? f f f r I ?

Under a law passed last winter, the board of pardons (consisting of Judge Reese, Att'y Genl Leeee, Sec'y Lawes and Warden Hopkins) are authorized to set free the 4th of July, each year, two convicts. Black Hawk and James Wa ter, two Indians were selected for this year. It is said that Francis Frank, an aged and feeble con vict,would have been selected but after deliberating over the offer he declined because he had no friends living; he has been in prison eighteen years, is almost seventy and believed it liberated, he would have to end his life in a poor-house, and so pre ferred to spend the remainder of his life where he is. Axoxe the varied and wonderful at tractions to be seen at the Minneapolis Exposition this season will be Captain Paul Boynton, the world renowned swim mer with a troup of performing lions and monkeys. The Captain, gives his aquatic exhibition in the pool in the center of the building, concluding each performance with grand naval battle. The Captain has been before the public no long that his name is as a household word, but his exhibition is such a great one as to cause a most pronounced sei nation wherever it is given. He will be at the Exposition during the last two Thk newest thing out is in the way ot lightning rods, and the present field ot operations in eastern Iowa.

The directors of the driving park at Nebraska City have decided that the dates for their fall races be October 3, 4 and 5. A reward of $1,400 has been-offered by the state and county for the arrest and conviction of the murderer of Caroline and Bessie Leavitt Amon Bobnett at Ogallala was killed by lightning on the 13th, the same stroke killed two horses and wounded a third one in the stable. A terrfic electric storm destroyed the RAM. depot at Panama Friday night The loss to the company is $20,000, the structure being one of the finest in the state. Milt Gettamy of Beatrice, was charg ed with illegal voting, came into the district court, plead guilty, was fined $100 and costs, which he paid and was discharged. At Aurora, Hamilton county, on the night of the 13th, William Burnett, was shot and killed by Harry Thornhill, his wife's paramour. Thornhill was arrest ed and lodged in jail. A boy of Frank Lucid's of Covington was struck by an engine on the regular train, on the 11th, mashing his left arm and fracturing his skull in several places.

The residence of RR Douglass at Clarks was struck by lightning on the morning of the 12th, demolishing the chimney, destroying part of the root and ceiling and tearing up part of the floor. The occupants of the house escaped in jury. Thomas Wagner of Peru, has received word from one of the counties in north western Nebraska that his son Jeff has been lynched there by vigilantes. Young Wagner was a wealthy stockman and has been in the business between Texas and Nebraska since he was a child. His father is unable to learn the partic ulars of the tragedy. While many of the school children are enjoying their, vacation, others are wrest ling with the measles and do not care whether or not they ever have a vacation again. When a kid has to absorb a large quantity of drug store three times a day or oftener during vacation, he is apt to think that life is not the howling success that it is cracked up to be. Madison Chronicle. The B. k M. depot at Palmer was struck by lightning on the morning of the 11th and the building was entirely destroyed by the fire which followed. Nearly everything ot value was gotten out ot the building. W. C. Estes, the agent, wife and baby escaped from the building just in time to save their lives, pieces of the roof -dropping on them as they left the building. Hon. James Laird, member of congress from the Second Nebraska district, has arrived home after several months ab sence. He made the long journey from Atlantic City to Omaha without a stop, and only rested over one train at the lat ter place. He is now on the high road to recovery, has gained at least forty pounds in weight, and he looks better in every way. Hastings Nebraskan. Joseph M. Moody, living fourteen miles northeast ot Analey, shot and kill ed his wife about 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. She had left him on account of ill treatment, and went to the home of his brother, living about five miles northeast of here. He went there and, taking a shotgun, shot her in the breast she dying almost instantly. Thursday morning Moody was found in the hills near the place where he murdered his wife, with the top of his head blowed off. He had used the same shotgun to kill himself that he used on his wife. Jealousy is now assigned as the cause of these deeds. Sheriff MaUon left this forenoon for Lincoln, where he went in charge of Bobert S. Clark, who was yesterday sen tenced by Judge Marshall to three years in the penitentiary for embezzling from the HoweUs Lumber Cow, at North Bend all the facts ot which have hitherto been given. Clark will have a tedious time of it in the "pen," bat he measured the cost when he came back from Canada. At that time he declared he would rath er be in Umbo in the United States than be in Canada and have his freedom. Fremont Tribune. C J. Farter's grain elevator at Fair field was (useoverad on fire abont 11 o'clock Wednesday night By the time the people were aroused the fire was un der full headway, and the bmflding was entirely consumed, together with its con teats of fifteen to twenty thousand bushels of grain, mostly com. The ele vator was said to be the beat on the line ot the St Joe k Grand Wand, and was used byMr.Furrer as a depot tor the surplus from his sauHnr elevators along the fine of the Kansas City Omaha railway. There an various rumors as to the cause of the fire, but nothing definite is known: The total Ions is at about $10,000. The York canning establishment has one hundred acres of corn growing and eighty acres ot tomatoes, and expects to put up four hundred thousand cans ot eorn and tomatoes this aaason. But the ardor of the company was dampened this week when a representative paid Omaha a visit in the interest ot the com pany, and upon his return reported that he was unable to receive any encourage ment in regard to com, the wholesale houses being over-stocked with it and have enough to run this year. They re fuse to pay even one dollar a case for it, when it costs a dollar and a half to put it up. Tomatoes, however, are all right, and can be sold readily. Ulysses Dis patch. A special from West Point under date ot July 13th to the Omaha Bee says: The investigation by an expert account ant of the records of the county clerks and the clerk of the dis trict court of Cuming county, which was inaugurated by the board of supervisors in January last, culminated in the report of the expert today, and the result was a great surprise to the taxpayers of the county. The report covers a period from 1879 to 1888, inclusive, snd includes the term of William Stenfer, 1879, 1880 and 1881, three years; F. W. Bagoss, 1882 to 1885, inclusive, four years; Julius Thiele, 1888, one year. The report of the expert shows shortages as follows: William Stenfer, $1,338; F. WI Bagoss, $4,738; James W. Shearer, $1,330; Julius Teiele, $783, making a total of $8,189. It is said that a considerable portion of the short; age is caused from neglect of the county clerks to make proper application of clerk's salary. The supervisors expect to collect between $5,000 and $6,000 that was wrongfully withheld. F. W. Bagoss removed to California shortly after his term expired and took his ill gotten gains with him. The county board say they will take immediate steps to collect the several amounts, either from the principals or their bondsmen. The developments have caused great ex citement, and it is the sole topic of con versation. Speaking ot the suicide of Gerd Stein block, the German neighbor of John Leavitt, the Seward Beporter says: "At the time of his death the unfortunate man wore a pair of cow-hide boots con siderably worn, a pair of patched over alls and an old cheviot shirt By. the sides lay the hands; they had not been tied but had' been held resolutely there during all the death agonies ot strangu lation. How severe those struggles must have been are attested by the nails of the clinched fingers entering the flesh of the hand. Gerd Steinblock wanted to die; he or any other man 'could have escaped two or three different ways had he so chosen. By reaching his foot backward one foot he could havo step ped on a manger; by stretching his arms out one foot in any direction he could reach beams that would support him, when ho felt the fatal rope cutting short his breath. Steinblock had had trouble with the Leavitts about the division lines of their farms, and at the time of the murder Mrs. Leavitt charged him with the crime. At the inquest he was again charged with it Some amateur detective was at his house measuring his feet and wild stories were told him of people coming from Utica to lynch him. All this worked upon his mind and the neighbors' theory is that it made him partially insane. For several days before his death he would not go any where alone, but had a young man named John Dey to accompany him. The other night the horses made a great disturbance in the barn, but he refused to go out to see what the matter was, but made Dey dress and go out He was bom April 16, 1842, and was 47 years old. He always had a good reputation among his neighbors, was fairly pros perous financially and had a good home. Waskiagtoa Letter. From oar regular correspondent. The political conference held by lead ing republican senators in Washington last week is to be followed at an early da y by a caucus of all the republican sen ators. The caucus will discuss the gen eral policy of the republican party dur ing the coming session of congress, but it is an open secret here that the princi pal object in view is to bring about a definite understanding between certain senators, who feel somewhat aggrieved on account of the testimony they have met with at the hands of the adminis tration, and the president. There has been a disposition in certain quarters to make it appear that Gen. Harrison is disposed to follow Cleveland's example in the matter of failing to consult with the party leaders before determining im portant matters of policy and in the malrfng of important appointments. This idea is vigorously refuted by the president and his closest friends, who point to the fact that in no case where the entire delegation of a state was' in harmony, has there been the least trouble or delay in the matter of making appointments. The whole matter- has been thoroughly discussed from every standpoint by the president and Sena tors Allison, Cullom, Dolph and Chand ler. The president assured them that ha was not only willing but was extremely desirous to have the advice of the party leaders at any and all times. The re sult of that conference will be reported to the caucus, which, by the way, report says is to be held in New York city, and the result is expected to be harmony be tween the senate and administration. It having been reported to the secre tary of the treasury that twenty-five English glassblowers were brought to this country under contract by a firm at Jeannette, Pa, in April, he has directed the U. S. district attorney at Boston, when they land to investigate and re port the facta. Secretary Noble has directed Com missioner Tanner to refuse to take up applications for pensions out of their turn, except in cases of extreme desti tution or .danger ot immediate death. He has also informed him that agents and attorneys who persist in unking that cases be made special, other than those mentioned, shall be disbarred from practice before the department The secretary is determined that "influence" shall not count in examining applica tions for pensions, Secretary Busk is taking unnsual pre cautions to prevent the spread ot Texas cattle fever. He has issued a letter of instructions to all the railroad and transportation companies regulating the shipment ot cattle from Texas and Ar kansas, and notifying them that govern ment inspectors would see that the reg ulations are obeped.

Sliver Creek. A very severe rain and wind storm passed over this place last Friday p. m., breaking down trees, blowing down com, oats and other grain, and doing consid erable damage generally. The writer was about five miles south of Genoa, and when the storm came down over that town, it looked fearful beyond descrip tion. At Havens, five miles west of this place, it was worse, if possible, than here. Many people were frightened nearly out ot their wits, but no one was injured, so far as we know. It is thought that small grain is too ripe to straighten up again, so the loss will be very great in that direction. Mrs. Charlie Bowlby has gone to Michigan to visit friends. Mrs. F.

Andreas' New Colossal Shows will ex hibit in Columbus Wednesday, July 24, and as they have received the highest praise from every quarter for the merito rious character of their performances, they will no doubt meet with crowded tents. They combine circus, museum and menagerie and will give two performan ces, the doors opening at 1 and 7p.m, and the circus performance begins one hour later. A street parade will usher in the day's festivities and a aeries ot free outside exhibitions will be given on the show, grounds before the opening of the doors. This show permits no games ot chance or catchpenny devices in or around its tents and the management guarantees to all its patrons absolute protection against these pests. Our friends from the country should drive in early, in time to witness the free outside exhibitions before the perform ances begin in the large pavilions, as no other show of such magnitude will prob ably visit us this season. Notwithstanding the fact that this is one ot the largest shows now traveling, the price ot admission is the same as is charged by email, inferior shows; 60 cents for adults, and 25centa for chil dren under ten years.
