Frederick Douglas, United States minister to Hayti, with his party sailed on the United States man of war Kearsage, October 1. The last storm at Isles del Carmen, Mexico, caused terrible havoc. Twelve foreign, sailing vessels, two steamers and twenty coasters were lost. 'Judge McConnell's latest action in the Cronin case was the appointment of a special deputy to serve venires, and ted a venire for one hundred men.

Hopkian, The republican nominee for county clerk, was born March 17th, 1838, in Boone county, Indiana. He stayed at home until he was about sixteen years of age, during this time working with his father at his trade of harness mak ing. When George was fifteen years old his father died. A short time after wards George went to Morgan county, Indiana, and engaged as clerk in a store. In 62 he removed to Minnesota, and soon afterwards enlisted in Co. H, First Minnesota heavy artillery, serving till near the close of the war. His four brotbe 3 were all Union soldiers during the rebellion, two of them since dying from the effects of their army life. After serving his country as a soldier, Mr. Hopkins engaged in business for himself four years in Indiana. Thence to Kansas in the grasshopper times; back again to Indiana in 75, and at farming. Sold his farm in 1881, came west, locating at Platte Center, this county, in 1882, since which time he has been a resident here, well and very fa vorably known to many of our readers. In 1887 he was elected supervisor for Lost Creek township, and during the past two years has been regarded as among the best of Platte county's in telligent legislature. Mr. Hopkins will make a very "excel lent clerk. While he is a man of ability, he is also genial, accommodating, kindly (no man more so), and with it all, he would be conscientiously devoted to the discharge of his duties, under the law. Mr. Hopkins's record as a citizen and official is such that all good men can approve. Fine weather for fall work on the farm, also good weather to consider the ways and means of the politicians who endeavor to manipulate the public offices, whenever and wherever they are given a chance to do so, by filling their own pockets and those of their friends. Now, let it be granted, that it is true that somebody must be elected to office, and somebody must do the necessary work of the same, and somebody must receive the pay prescribed by law for do ing the same, does it follow that that somebody must be the same person, term after term, world without end, and that the clerks and helps of that some body shall always be from the same clan of the same clique of the same party? Not by any manner of means. The most objectionable faction of the demo, cratic party dominated the last conven tion, as they dominated the one two years ago, and the only way now left for the independent, progressive, public-spirited members of that party to rebuke the "bosses," is to elect their opponents to office. Those who have party matters in charge should come somewhere near to doing their work in the interest of the general public, and when it is ascertain ed that a job has been set up against general party interests, by selfish men who had the opportunity to do it, and took advantage of the situation, the only fit and lasting method of rebuke is to lend your votes to elect a better ticket, to wit, the republican nominees. The office of superintendent of public instruction in this county is becoming one of the most important and perhaps, considering that no clerical force is em ployed, one of the most laborious in the county There are ninety-two schools tovipiJ and this work must necessarily bo done mostly in the winter time. There is a large amount of office work, aside from the examination of applicants for teachers, certificates, and it is very safe to say that no man in this county & ever given better satisfaction in the dis charge of the duties of the office than Prof. Cramer, the present incumbent. Of course, he went into the office fully equipped for its responsible duties by an excellent judgment, thorough scholar ship, a special knowledge concerning the needs of the schools of this county, after many years experience as principal teacher and superintendent of the schools of Columbus, but it is much to succeed so admirably, and the people of this county, who fully understand the situation, will not let Mr. Cramer be succeeded by one who is not noted as a teacher,or weUknown asamaa. Both leitner'a ssethods of electioneering for this office are not appreciated by the better element in his own party and they win not lend their votes to the election of a ssamwho has shown anch poor JmdgsMnt The welfare at owr school childrea for the next two years mmstnotthasbepntin jeopardy.

The son of AL Arnold, the well-known jeweler, along with other sterling qualities of his father he has inherited the talent of walking straight, fast and far, first-class qualifications in a surveyor. See that his name is properly on your ticket A. G. Arnold, The people, especially those living where the township supervisors have be come obnoxious for any reason, are not pleased with the ruling of the attorney general that the last legislature has authorized half the supervisors to hold over after the term for which they were elected. It has always been supposed that the law providing for township organization was designed so that the people could attend to their own affairs a good deal have, in fact, home rule in local matters, but if the legislature at Lincoln, in combination with the attorney-general of the state of Nebraska are to be allowed to legislate men into office and override the wish of the people, the shop might as well be dosed up. The belief is becoming pretty general that the townships will elect the supervisors they want, anyhow, and then if an ob noxious man tries to hold over, the sov ereign voters may have, something of interest to say to him. The Horse for the Farat. Farmers can use draft horses with greater economy in their business when they adapt their farm implements to the capacity of heavier teams. They seem to forget or fail to consider that the value of a team is in exact proportion to its weight, if the large team is equally well proportioned with the lighter, for plow ing, harrowing, reaping, mowing and all heavy hauling, if they only adapt their implements to the greater weight of their teams. If the team weighs 1,800 per horse, the plow may cut eighteen inches -and the harrow twenty feet, the mower and reaper in proportion; as well ss for the 1,000 pound horse to use the twelve inch plow and other tools in pro portion; a heavy team may as well plow four acres as a light one two and one half. A good draft horse can be raised to 1,600 pounds as quickly and as cheaply as a grade steer of the same weight, and will sell on the same market at two and one-half times the price and as prompt ly; will pay his way from two years old on the farm. It is now too late in our experience to say that such horses are not salable at any time for cash. There is none left in any community where they have been offered for sale. No market in America has ever been supplied with them; 1,500 pound sound horses of any breed will bring $200 in any state in this country at this time. The demand for them will increase in proportion to the increase in railroads and general commerce forever. West ern Agriculturist. A Jut Jaige. Commissioner Groff, of the general land office, rendered bis first decision Thursday. It was in the case of Johan nas Frederick vs. Fred Hanselin on ap peal from the decision of the local land office at Benson, Minn. The decision appealed from holds that Hanslin tailed to comply with the letter of the home stead law in that he did not establish an actual residence on the land after six months after the entry, only digging a cellar and building foundations. The entry was cancelled. Commissioner Groff overrules this decision, and in a review of the case finds that Hanselin, who was a poor Ban, was getting along as rapidly with the improvement of the land and construction of houses as posy Bible. The commissioner adds that the six months rule is not to be insisted upon where the ntrymanv good faith toward the government is sufficiently shown, or where his acta are not incon sistent with an honest purpose to com ply with the law. He sees no bad faith in this case. The decision is regarded as important, as indicating the policy of the land office with respect to this class of claims.

The rejoicing over the result by the citizens at Pierre was remarkable, crowds of strong men grasped each other in their arms and laughed and cried.

E. church in Nebraska was in session at York October 2, Bishop J. B. Vincent presiding. Last week Miss Atnalia Arnott of Blair, was so badly burned that she will probably die. Her clothes took fire from a lighted match. A safe in the Omaha depot at Dakota I City, was burglarized one night last week and about $15 taken. The safe was ruined. No clue to the perpetrators. The Nebraska W. C. T. U. met in their fifteenth annual convention at Norfolk, October l.QThe exercises were closed with music by the Fullerton ladies' band. Vereen Davis of Nebraska City, was awakened the other morning by a burg lar in his room. ,He shot at the burglar three times without effect. The fellow got $8 in cash from his pants. The depth of 816 feet was reached last week at the gas well at Hastings. The drill was last working in sandstone with indications for gas or oil; a gurgling sound can be heard from the mouth of the well Excitement prevailed last week in Lincoln about the manner of the death of Mrs. Minnie J. Bobbins, wife of Dr.L. H. Bobbins, and the citizens have de manded an investigation into the canse of her death. William Brandos, an employe at Platz's brewery, near Schuyler, commit ted Buicide on the morning of the 6th, by blowing the top of his head off with a shotgun. Unrequited love is thought to have been the cause of his action. Wm. Innis, one mile west of Ulysses, Butler county, will shortly market 125, acres of potatoes, which is estimated will yield 400 bushels per acre, or 50,000 bushels all told. Mr. Innis lays claim to being the largest potato raiser in the state. About 100 men will be employed in marketing the crop. Fremont Her ald. John QuinluMi grader at Omaha,Tues- day evening last, killed one of his em ployes, Tom Klopman, because he work ed after 6 o'clock. He struck him with a singletree, making an ugly wound in the right temple, from which the brains oozed. Klopman was driving a team and at 6 o'clock had not heard the signal to quit. Quinlin was under the influence of liquor. Lou Galer has gone into the potato raising business quite extensively this season. He has five acres of fine ones and only wishes the price was better. Mr. Galer has also what he considers some of the best corn in the country. He has husked and sold some and it turned out 67J bushels to the acre and weighed 85 pounds to the bushel. Schuyler Sun. Last Monday while the well diggers of the Crete waterworks were making con nections between two of the wells, six teen feet below the surface, the aides of the ditch caved in, burying William Cook, under six feet of ground. The work of digging him out at once began and after an hour's hard work the man was recovered. A broken shoulder was all the injury he received. Newton Simmons of the.

They are not satisfied with the discovery of yellow ochre at the gas well; but on the other hand they will be disappointed if ochre, oil, salt, coal, building elate and natural gas are not found, all in the same hole. Gazette-Journal. Monday evening of last week a fiend by the name of Boyer at Ainsworth went home drunk and assaulted his wife with a ball bat. Some neighbors hearing her cries, came in and prevented him from killing her. He was taken in charge by Marshal Houta and had a hearing next morning, when he was found guilty and given fifteen days labor on the streets and thirty days in the county jaiL Boy er was driven from town once for a simi lar offense and was under bonds to keep the peace at the time of his arrest. It was reported in the Omaha Repub lican of last week that Mr. Peters had really got another move on him, and had appointed Judson Hughes of Fremont, L. T. Calkins of Fairmont and C. H. Willard of Auburn. They relieve John Stinehart, a store-keeper, George Ged ultig a store-keeper and Fred A. Smith a guager. He has now but three demo crats left in his department, Lynch, Tirney and Heath and they are so "well qualified and posted in the- business of i their offices" that. its not very particular whether you remove soon or ever. We would like our old friend, Mr. Joseph White, who planted an orchard fifteen years ago on his place south of town (now Martin Prokes) to see this season the result of his labors. The! largest, finest apples that have been shown up here yet were grown there this year. Mr. Prokes has sold seventy-five bushels besides what he will keep for his own use. it is about time now to oea on the old song that .Nebraska is not a fruit country when the finest apples of all that we see are grown right in our midst.

The sheep industry is one of the most profitable of this section and has been so for the last three or four years. The prioe at present is such that all the sheep now here for feeding could be sold at a good profit, and add tens of thousands of dollars to the wealth of Dodge county. Fremont Tribune. A peculiar case of poisoning is report ed near Nebraska City. A cistern on the farm of Uriah Johnson being out of re pair, a second-hand barrel was used to catch the water from the house. After the first rain Mr. Johnson bathed his face and hands in water taken from the improvised dstsm. A few hours later his face and hands commenced to swell and an ugly rash broke out upon the skin. His face continued to swell until his eyes were nearly closed and his hands and arms almost double their natural size. Physicians were summoned and he is now much better, although the poison appeared to be of a most stub born nature and yielded slowly to treat ment. The barrel was apparently clean. Newman Grove News.

No conference of nations ever assembled to consider the welfare of territorial pos sessions so vast, and to contemplate tile possibilities of a future so great and in spiring. Those now sitting within these walla are empowered to speak for na tions which border on both the great oceans, whose northern limits are touch ed by the Arctic waters for thousands of miles beyond the straits of Bearing, wnose southern extensions tarnish hu man habitations further below the equa tor than is elsewhere possible on the globe. While considerations of this character must insnire Americana, both south and north, with the liveliest an ticipations of their future grandeur and power, they must also impress them with a sense of the gravest responsibility touching the character and development of their respective nationalities. The delegates whom I am addressing can do much to establish permanent relations of confidence, respect and friendship between the nations which they repre sent. They can show to the world an honorable, peaceful conference of seven teen independent American powers, in which all shall meet on terms of abso lute equality, a conference in which there can be no attempt to coerce a sin gle delegate against his own coneeotion of the interests of his nation, a confi dence which wfll permit no secret un derstanding on any subject, but will frankly publish to the world all its con clusions, a conference which will tolerate no spirit of conquest but will aim to cultivate American sympathy, broad as both continents; a conference which will form no selfish alliance against older na tions from which we are proud to olaim inheritance, a conference in fine which will seek nothing, propose nothing, en dure nothing that ia not the general sense of all the delegates, timely, and wise and peaceful "And yet we cannot be expected to forget that our common fate has made us inhabitants of two continents which at the close of four centuries are regard ed beyond the seas as the new world. Like situations beget like sympathies and impose like duties. We meet in the firm belief that the nations of America ought to and can be more helpful each to the other than they now are, and that each will find advantage and profit from an enlarged intercourse with the others. We believe we should be drawn together more closely by the highways of the ssa and that at no distant day the railway systems of the north and the south will meet upon the isthmus and connect by land routes the political and commercial capitals of all America. We believe that hearty co-oueration. based on heart confidence, will save the American states from burdens and evils which have long and cruelly afflicted the older nations of the world. All believe the spirit of justice, of common and eqoal interest between American states will leave no room for an artificial bal ance of power like unto that which has drenched Europe in blood. We believe friendship, avowed with candor and maintained with good faith, will remove from the American states the necessity of guarding the boundary lines between themselves with fortifications and mili tary force. We believe that atsnding armies, beyond those which are needful for the public order and the safety of internal aanuninrauon, anouui pe un- mowu on row American oonunenia. We believe that friendship, and not force, should be the recognized rule be tween American nations. To these subjects and those which are cognate thereto, the attention of this conference is earnestly and cordially in vited by the government of the United States. It will be a great gain when we shall acquire that common confidence on which all international friendship must rest. It will be a greater oain when we shall be able to bring all the American nations into closer acquaintance with each other, an end to be facilitated by more rrequent and more rapid inter communication. It will be the greatest gain when the personal and commercial relations of the American states, south and north, shall be so developed and regulated that each shall acquire the highest possible advantages from the en lightened and enlarged intercourse of slL Before the conference shall formsllv enter upon tlwdmcussion of the subjects vo oe auominea co it l am instructed by the President to invite all the nf the government during the proposed view, w ue various parts oc the country, with the double view of showing to our friends from abroad the oondition of the United States and of giving toovhomss the privilege Md pleasure of extendtag the warm welcome of Amsrins to The address was received with en amount of enthusiasm somewhat re- markebie in a body of such imaraetar.
