Kepubliran State Convention. The republican electors of the state ot Nebraska are requested to send delegates from their several counties to meet in convention in the city of Lincoln, Wed- nesday,July 23, at 8 o'clock p. ni., for the purpose of plncingin nomination candi dates for the following state officers: Governor. Lieutenant Governor. Secretary of State. Auditor of Public Accounts. State Treasurer. Commissioner of Public Lands and Buildings. Superintendent of Public Instruction. And the transaction of such other business as may come before the con vention. THE APPORTIONMENT.

L. D. Richards, Walt M. Skeley, Chairman. Secretary. The Sisters of Charity at O'Neill are building a 922,000 stone and brick school building, which, when completed, will be one of the finest buildings in western Nebraska. A Kansas paper figures the situation this way: "St. John gave us Grover Cleveland as president. Grover Cleve land gave us Lamar and Fuller for Uni ted States supreme judges. Lamar and Fuller gave us the original package de cision." In the region west of Cornell, HI., on Saturday, a cyclone did feafnl damage, wrecking houses, uprooting trees, de stroying fences, -etc A school bouse was blown entirely away. Several persons seriously hurt, but none killed. The path of the storm was about eighty rods wida The Platte Center Xrgus suggests Hon. Leander Gerrard as a republican candidate for governor. If the conven tion should be wise enough to name Mr. Gerrard, there would be no need of the alliance thinking of a different candi date. No man in the state could or would do more effective work for the people. A terbifc cyclone Friday at Earlville, HL, and extending north to Paw Paw, did immense damage. Thirty-four per sons reported killed and hundreds wounded. Houses were laid flat and scattered broadcast; trees broken off and nprooted. At Earlville, a school house was demolished, killing Miss McBride, the teacher, and seven pupils. At least fifty farm houses were wrecked. Pijusanton was a town containing about a hundred and fifty people, 20 miles north of Kearney. Sunday at 2 o'clock p. m., it was literally wiped out of existence; loss estimated at $15,000 none lolled. Sweetwater, a village b miles west of Bavenna, was struck at the same time, destroying $50,000 worth of property, including a mill worth $25, 000.

BARBER & CO LEADERS IN LOW PRICES. bargain- for goods of every Jackenetts in LOANS TO THE FARM Kits. Senator Stanford's Explanation of His New Financial Policy. The power of the government to create money is conceded, nnd its value is the same whether metal or paper. The im portant point is that it should be stamp ed by a government whose credit is un impeachable and which has the power of making money. The next important consideration is: How can the government, without in jury to itself place the money in circula tion? That can be accomplished by taking agricultural lands as security upon the terms prescribed in the bill. No pressure for redemption can be brought to bear, as only those who are ready to have their mortgages released can make a claim on the government. The government loans its credit to the individual in order that the whole peo ple may have a sufficiency of money with which to prosecute their business. The money issued under the provisions of the bill shall be legal tender for all debts, public and private, except interest on the national debt and redemption of national notes. There is no analogy be tween this scheme and any other finan cial proposition that was ever suggested. We can all well understand the great advantages to the people at this time of a loan made by the government of 90 per cent upon its own securities. One hundred thousand dollars of government bonds at 4 per cent only produces $1,000, yet, when its value becomes ener gized to the extent of IX) per cent (which the government advances), the power is so increased that the $90,000, in its activity, may in the course of a year double its value and pass- from hand to hand many times, stimulating the vari ous industries of the country. So, too, this bill will have a corresponding ener gizing effect. The money issued is not intended to benefit the farmer alone, but, as it comes into circulation, it will put the means of prosperity within the reach of those who are "engaged in the smaller and larger industries of the country. This money issued by the government becomes automatic. It will contract when thero is a greater demand. Thus disastrous final contraction will cease to be possible. The rate of interest proposed 2 per cent is fixed for good reasons. No farmer will borrow unless he needs the money, and when he ceases to have use for it will return it. But this will sel dom occur, for money borrowed of the government at 2 per cent can readily find use at higher rates in other inter ests, and thus the farmer will be bene fited. A 6 per cent interest is a burden that a farmer cannot well bear, while, owing to the activities of business, the merchant finds it a reasonable rate to pay. The value of money lies in its activities. This plan of loaning money upon laud at 2 ier cent, with the privilege to the borrower of returning it when he has no use for it, creates a monied system that will meet financial expansion and con traction aB they may occur without in convenience to any. Under its provis ions, the real estate of the country being so vast, there will always be the possi bility of obtaining the money necessary to carry on the enterprises of the country and when there is no further use for the money the borrower stops paying interest and takes up the mort gage on his farm. The bill, while not perfect, provides fairly with the machinery to carry out its designs. If adopted, with such amendments as shall seem wise to con gress, it will largely increase the pros perity of the humblest classes in labor, and assist the wealthier to success in their enterprises. The bill provides for what may, perhaps, not improperly be termed a revolution in finance, and I do not expect that it will be adopted until it has been fully considered by the peo ple and has met with their approval. Senator Stanfor's speech in the senate. furrency With a Real Estate Basis. Gold and silver vary in relative value and land is always in demand. We were led to ask some time ago why the United States should say to the bondholder you may deposit your bond as collateral and we will issue you money to start a bank and not 6ay to the farmer you taay de posit your deed to your real estate with us as collateral and we will issue you money to start business with. Is not the farmer as much of a shareholder in these United States as the banker? Is not land as good security as bonds? Farmers, shall we stand idly by and see our joint notes handed out to the banker for nothing, when the farmer must pay ten per cent or more for them? We are in the field to make the farmer's chance in life as good as the most favored of other people and whilst we may not succeed at the first trial it is only a question of time when we will, unless we consent to be run into market by a few sharpers and sold as slaves. Farmers, if you consent to let the government be run as an instrument with which to im poverish yon, who is to blame? Be men and you can take the place of men. Looking Glass. We have received from Senator Pad dock a copy of his bill 'to provide for the inspection, grading and storage of grain shipped or intended for shipment from the state or territory of production into any other state or territory for sale or consumption or for other purposes." It is intended as a relief to agricultur ists, and all who favor its passage are to be accredited with good intentions, at least, toward the greatest industry of the country. But it seems to The Jour nal that the solidest relief measure to the farmers, enabling them tc store and watch thoirown grain at home; enabling them to hold their products of all kinds, including grain, until they can get at least the average price for them; enabling them to defend themselves against all their enemies of whatever kind, or strength, is the government loan, secur ed by mortgage on lands used for agri culture, at a nominal rate of interest. Settle the problem of money for the farmer, and you put at rest all other troubles. Our farmer friends should be on their guard for lightning rod swindlers. An advance agent of this gang called on Mr. Benjamin Reed, living six miles east of Madison the other day and made a contract to rod his large granary for $8.00. A day or two later the balance of the outfit called, put un the rods and 'stuck a bill at Mr. Reed for S75. Of course the old gentleman kicked and refused to pay it, but as they threatened to prosecute him, and rather than go to law, Mr. Reed compromised with the highway robbers by paying them $50. Such an outrage should not bo tolerated in any community, and if every farmer would provide himself with a double barreled shot gun, loaded with buck shot, and warn every traveling light ning rod peddler that if he came on the place he (the farmer) would blow a hole through him bigger than a barn door, the farmers wouldn't be bothered with such vermin. We clip the above from the Madison Chronicle, and it only illustrates a gen eral fact. There are so few lightning rod peddlers that are anything but swindlers that it is best to have nothing at all to do with them. Only One Way. Brother Gerrard of the Monroe Look ing Glass strikes all the nails fairly on their heads, in the following paragraph: "There is only one way for farmers to get a fair and equal show, and that is to make it their business to be on hand at every place where there is political action to be taken, and attend to it as a matter of business, just like you tend your corn or harvest your grain. If farmers never sowed or never harvested the' would never gain, if they never mowed they could not have any hay. So of every good thing and it holds good in politics. If farmers neglect politics the political workers will not be in their interest. Farmer, you had as well expect to get a crop without planting or cultivating, as as to expect a fair share of the good things that government brings without putting time and thought and money into politics. If yon stay at home and plow whilst others run the political ma chinery, the harvest will not be for vour bins." Durino the ten years ending with the close of the last republican administra tion, the balanco between our exports and imports was over $544,000,000 in fa vor of this country, and in the last year of that administration, the balance was $104,000,000 in our favor. But, during the first year of Cleveland's administra tion, the balance went down to about $44,000,000, a falling off of $120,000,000 in one year. During the second year to $23,000,000, and during the third year it went down so that the balance was $28,000,000 against this country. But since Harrison was inaugurated, that balance has now begun to work this way again, and we shall be mistaken if there is not a large amount to our credit found in our next annual reports. American Economist. The lightning played a queer freak Tuesday night at Elmer Pierson's place in northeast Schuyler. It struck the south end of his barn, shattering it bad ly, jumped to a wire on the fence near by which was stretched to the corner of the house on which to hang clothes, fol lowed this wire and struck the corner of the house, tearing off a small piece of the siding, passed down through the floor and into the ground. Mr. Pierson had got up to close a window as it struck and was only a few feet from it. Hay in the loft of the barn was scorched but not set on fire, and the links of chain hanging in the barn were melted, so that they stuck together. Schuyler Sun. George, the twelve-years-old son of Richard Morgan of Norfolk met with an almost fatal accident at that place Fri day. The lad assisted his father, who is a car repairer, and the accident occurred while the boy was going under a train standing on the track. Just as he had got fairly under, the engine backed up to the train, and before George could get out the wheels caught his legs between the knee and ankle, crushing the left leg to a jelly and causing a compound com minuted fracture of the right one. Two wheels passed over his limbs and then the boy dragged himself out of the way. The left leg was immediately amputated and the doctors hope to save the right one. So says the Norfolk News. Rev. Jordan, the colored orator from Texas, was murderously assaulted by a saloon keeper, while speaking on the streets of Falls City. The mayor had guaranteed police protection for the meeting. Many men have become so disgusted with the affair that they say they will vote for the prohibitory amend ment although they have signed the UtUUUHB HUU UUNUOW 44M54I D UWUIIBBW. t SPECIAL We wish to call special attention to our Dress Goods Department, which is always full of the rarest novelties of the season.

Secrest, the man who was thrown from the threo-story window of the Merchants' hofel at Omaha by his friend J. J. Werner, is still alive and hopes are entertained of his recovery. The two retired for the night, and in about an hour Werner was troubled with nightmare, thinking that some huge lieast had attacked him. He lifted his friend and threw him out of the window. Paso del Norte, Mexico, June 1, 1890. ) Editor Journal: It may be interest ing to your many readers to learn some thing of a Mexican hacienda (pronounced ah-see-an-dah accent on third) and specially those who imagine, as many do, that there is nothing modern in Mexico; so I send you a report of my visit to the "San Augustin hacienda," distant from this city twenty miles. This farm con tains fifty thousand acres and is delight fully situated in the Rio Grande valley, with a river frontage of about fifteen miles. Twenty thousand acres of it are now under irrigation and ten thousand more will be soon as the main ditch is extended as projected. There are one hundred miles of irrigating ditches on the farm. The area in actual cultivation this year was given as follows: Wheat 2,100 acres, corn 850 acres, alfalfa 290 acres, sugar cane 125 acres, barloy 250 acres. Wheat is cut about the 1st of June, and will average about forty bush els to the acre, and brings $1.20 a bushel. They plant corn as early as the first of March as late as the first of July. After the wheat crop is cut they sometimes prepare and plant corn on the same ground the same year. There are eight reapers and binders, four mowers and two threshers belonging to this farm, and an excellent flouring mill, with one hundred barrels a day capacity. The working force of this farm are one hun dred and eighty-five men, one hundred yoke of oxen, two hundred and forty horses and one hundred mules. There are on the farm, in all, men, women and children, six hundred nnd twenty per sons. They have a comfortable school building and all the children between the ages of six and twelve years are com pelled to attend school. After twelve, the attendance is decided by the pa rents. If they wish the services of the children they have that privilege. On a careful estimate, the superintendent in formed me that husband, wife and four children, a family of six, will feed and clothe themselves on $200 a year. He says he believes them as true in then social relations as Americans or people of other nationalities and that they seem to enjoy life as well. Carriages were furnished and quite a company of us were taken out of this city to help celebrate the annual feast of 4,San Ysidro" (pronounced ee-sed-ro). We were welcomed to San Agustin by the booming of cannon (anvils) and after a "wash up" were seated in the hall (15x104 ft.)of the superintendent's build ing to a magnificent supper or banquet. Of course, in this country, there was no shortage in the wines and champagne for those who like them. Thero were fifty-six seated at the banquet. Speech making followed. On each side of this long hall are bed-rooms with beds, linen, etc., new and really excellent. After the banquet all repaired to the "bade" (or dance) which was held in the machinery room, for the time cleared for that pur pose, and the floor covered with canvass, the sides decorated with red, white and green (the Mexican national colors) and a row of lamps around the building, brilliantly lighting it. As it was 35x100 ft., it accommodated a great many dancers at one time, and as the orchestra was excellent (seven or eight pieces) all wont "as merry as a marriage bell" until nearly morning, over 200 participating. Your correspondent retired soon after eleven o'clock to prepare for a morning ride, as it had been arranged that all who wished might have a horseback ride, before breakfast, over the farm. Soon after five o'clock our cavalcade moved forward on a gallop. We rode fifteen to eighteen miles and yet got to see but little of that great farm, but you may be sure we were ready for a hearty breakfast on our return; after which we started for this city, delighted with our trip. Of course this is not a "fair sample" of Mexican farms. In some sections "flail ing and winnowing" is still practiced, in threshing and cleaning wheat. Many primitive implements are used, and yet American modern machinery is being extensively introduced. Mexico has made wonderful advances and has a grand future before her. But enough for the present. A. J. Sampson. WubiagtoR Letter. From oar regular correepondent. Representative Vaux, the picturesque successor to the late Hon. Samuel J. Randall in the house, made his maiden speech Saturday. It was a eulogy of Mr. Randall. Speaker Reed says he is not a candi date for president, but that does not stop the rapidly increasing sentiment among republicans that he possesses all the necessary elements of a successful candidate, nor does it prevent many shrewd and long headed men from pre dicting his nomination in 1892. The civil service committee of the house has at last made its report upon the investigation of the charges against the civil service commission. The re port exonerates Commissioner Roosevelt and Thompson and makes Commissioner Lynn the scape-goat. It is thought here 3 NOTICE! that Mr. Lynn will feel compelled to tender Jiis resignation to the president, and thero isn't the slightest doubt of its prompt acceptance. No one believa that Mr. Lynn has wilfully done wrong, but by his lack of tact and judgment he has shown that he is out of place on the commission. Campbell, the brother - in law of Lynn, nnd the man who stole the questions which were offered for sale, has already resigned. Secretary Noble has announced that no person will be allowed to settle upon the Cherokee lands until the agreement by which they have been ceded to the government, shall have l)een ratified by congress. Senator Evnrts from the state library committee has reported a bill appropriat ing $20,000 to buy the manuscripts and correspondence of Thos. Jefferson, which are now in the possession of his descend ants. Pursuant to instructions of the house republican caucus the Lodge and the Rowell federal election bills have been merged into one, with some modifica tions in both, and the consolidated bill will be submitted to another caucus which will finally decide whether it shall be passed this session. General debate on the Jones silver bill in the senate has closed, and the house bill, as amended by the senate finance committee, was substituted therefor. The senate sub-committee which is in vestigating the fish, commission has al ready taken some very interesting testi mony going to show that Commissioner McDonald has used the clerical force of the bureau on his private work, and that besides putting several members of his family into lucrative positions, ho has made a practice of using the boats and oars owned by the commission to carry pleasure parties composed of his family and friends. Last week the president found it necessary to veto another bill providing for the erection of a useless public building. The democratic press now has it that Mr. Blaine and Speaker Reed are jealous of each other and that each of them is trying to shipwreck the political bark of the other. This is simply summer twad dle, both Mr. Blaine and Mr. Reed are too big and too sensible to be troubled with that disease of small minds known as envy or jealousy. While they may not lie in per fect accord on all the subjects of the day thero is no ill-will or hard feeling in the honest difference of opinion existing be tween them, and such stories are told by democratic papers because that party fears these two men and would like to see them out of the way. Senator Sherman has introduced in the senate the same bill, for the incorpo ration of the Pan-American bank, which Representative Hill recently introduced in the house. KoBinrkalilf ltexcne. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111., makes the statement that 6he caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physi cian, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found her self benefited from first dose. She con tinued its use and after taking ten bot tles, found herself sound and well, now does her own housework and is as well as she ever was.

Garfielfi Beach on Great Salt Lake, Utah, Iniles from Salt Lake City, and reachKl only via the Union Pacific, "TheOverland Route'' is now open for the season. This is the only sand beach on Great Salt Lake, and is one of the finest bath ing and pleasure resorts in the west. Great Salt Lake is not a sullen, listless, sheet of water, beating idly on the shore, but on the contrary is as beautiful a sheet of water as can be found anywhere. It is 21 per cent salt, while the ocean is only 3 per cent, and the water is so buoy ant that a person is sustained on its sur face indefinitely without the least effort on his part. Experience has proven its great hygienic effects. Owing to the stimulating effect of the brine on the skin, or the saline air on the lungs the appetite is stimulated, and after a bath, the bathers are ready for a hearty meal. and feel greatly invigorated. Fine bath houses accommodating 400 people, have been erected at Garfield Beach, in connection with which there is a first-class restaurant and a dancing pavillion built out over the lake, all of these are run by the Union Pacific, who guarantee a first-class resort in every respect. The Union Pacific has made low rates of fare for those desiring to visit Salt Lake City and Garfield Beach. For complete description of Garfield Beach and Great Salt Lake, send to E. L.
