JULY 9. 1890. ltrpabliran Statr Convention. The republican electors of the state of Nebraska are requested to send delegates from their several counties to meet in convention in the city of Lincoln, Wed nesdajvJuly 23, at 8 o'clock p. in., for the purpose of placing in nomination candi dates for the following state officers: Governor. Lieutenant Governor. - -" Secretary of State. Auditor of Iublic Accounts. State Treasurer. Commissioner of Public Lands and Buildings. Snperintendent of Public Instruction. And the transaction of such other business as may come before the con vention. THE APPORTIONMENT. The several counties are entitled to representation as follows, being based upon the vote cast for Hon. George II. Hastings, presidential elector in 1888, giving one delegate-at-large to each county, and one for each 150 votes and the major fraction thereof: We omit all except Platte and ad joining counties. The convention will have 618 delegates. Boone 9 Polk 7 Madison 10 Merrick 9 Nance 5 Platte 9 Colfax 7 Utanton 4 Bntler 11 It is recommended that no proxies be admitted to the convention; that each county convention elect alternates, and that the delegates present be authorized to cast the full vote of the delegation. L. D. RicnAKos, Walt M. Seelev, Chairman. Secretary. Jlrpabliraa Coaaty Convention. The Bepublicans of Platte county will meet in delegate convention at Fit.pat rick'e hall, Columbus, on Monday, July 21, 1890, at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of electing nine delegates to attend the state convention, to be held at Lincoln, Nebraska, July 23, 1890, and placing in nomination a candidate for county at torney and candidates for the legislature, and to transact such other business as may come before it. The basis of rep resentation shall be one delegate at large from each ward and township, and one for every 15 votes, or major fraction thereof, cast for Hon. T. L. Norval for supreme judge in 18S9, as follows: City of Columbus Columbus To 5 First ward 5 Butler Mecondward tf Bismark Third ward 8 Monroe Shell Creek S Walker Humphrey 4 Grand Prairie. lost Creek 9 Granville Creston 6 Burrows Woodville 7 St. Bernard ... Sherman 5 lxup 2 Joliet 6 It is recommended that primaries be held at the last voting place in each township, on Monday, July 14th. In the city of Columbus between the hours of 2 and 6 p. m. and in the townships be tween 4 and 6 p.m. It is also recom joended that no proxies be admitted, and that the delegates present cast the 7 rail vote of tneir township or ward NEBRASKA POLITICS. Mr. Dorsey cannot reasonably expect generous treatment if he continues his double dealing in the northwest, where his strikers are shouting for Richards in order to get on the state delegations to kill him (Richards) off.--Fremont Trib une. Thus it is that this very desire on Fre mont's part to capture the two principal offices within the gift of the state may return Gov. Thayer to his third term ao scandals have disgraced our fair state under his administration, and he has dared to stand out boldly demand ing rights for his eople that no other governor of the state ever did. Nio brara Pioneer. Mr. Richards' convention at Fremont very harmoniously read Mr. Dorsey out of the race for office. The latter prob ably smiles at tho thought that his con vention will have the last whack. Nor folk News. There are no tidings from Farmer Church Howe. It is now feared that Tom Majors kidnapied him and has him secreted in his breath dye laboratory. Scouts and detectives are searching the country. Farmer Howe should write a letter, if he is still living. If he has foully dealt with somebody the fact should also te made known. I World Herald. The last exploring party at the burn ing Hill farm mine at Dunbar, Penu., entered the mine at 2 p. m. last Tuesday and came out at. 7. "Three of their numlier had entered to within a few feet of the tiro and had found the dinner buckets and blouses of two of the men. The explorers suffered from the intense heat and black damp and scarcely es caped with their lives. It was a trip to tho very gates of the most realistic and practical hell that could be found on this earth. The explorers visited nine places where the raon were known to have been at work. Their picks and shovels were found lying where they had been dropped. One mule was found dead and putrihed. Otherwise no trace of the men could be found. The ex plorers then voted to abandon the work of recovery, and with this the greatest rescuing attempt in western Pennsylva nia was ended. Tho company will, it is said, now attempt to save as much cf the mine property as they can. The mine is sadly wrecked and its restoration will be a gigantic task." The call for a people's independent convention to lie held at Henry hall, Platte Center, tomorrow at 1 p. m., didn't reach us till Thursday of last week too late to be of benefit in the primary election. The call is signed by John C. Swartsley, as chairman, and Fred Jewell, as secretary. Mr. Swartsley is a mem lr of the legislature from this county, elected as a democaat. It is evident that he has got thoroughly disgusted with his party and seeks new affiliations "in an effort for pure government, for relief from the shackles of party politics and the domination of corporate power in our public affairs." George Cu.ussen, a farmer living nine miles west of Omaha, and who has lived there twenty years, committed suicide Monday night of last week by cutting his throat He had gone into the hay mow some time in the night. Insanity is given as the cause of the act. His mental powers had been failing for two months, and he had labored under the hallucination that he was being wrongfully iwrsecnted. His family con sisted of himself, wife, two young sons and an adopted daughter. It is surprising how much mischief a few determined, well-armed men can do in a very short time. Last Tuesday four well-dressed, well-mounted men in mask rode into Bigelow, Mo., about 9 o'clock and rifled the money drawers and safes of the stores they found open, securing 32,000 to 83,000. In the race afterwards one of the robliers was pierced with a bullet, but all got away though pursued about twelve miles. John Wise, Secretary. J. G. Reedeb, Chairman. The probability is that the census will show Nebraska to have a population of 1,210,00a The Chautauqua meetings, both at Beatrice and Crete, have been reported as very interesting and well attended. Nobth Bend has voted bonds to build a city hall, and has elected Mrs. Helen Noma, wife of the mayor, as a member of the school board. The Hastings Nebraskan brings forth the name of I. W. Lansing of Lincoln as a candidate for attorney-general, re marking: "He has not a superior in Ne braska on the stump. He is a scholar; he is thoroughly versed in the law; his record is clean and he has the courage to do the right as God gives him to see the right. His presence and sieech would command the respect and confi dence of any audience, and he would be a strength to the ticket. It is men of his character and stamp that the Ne braskan wants to see at the front." Lansing is smart, he's a "caution" in a campaign, he's a wheel-horse and a band, in fact a whole procession when needed, but is he a bull-dog? That's the question of these times. The cyclone is getting to le no respec ter of places or persons. Tuesday last, at Gallatin, Tennessee, the African Methodist church was blown to pieces, two women were fatally injured and a dozen others of the congregation serious ly hurt. The minister, Granville Brown, will also probably die. The wonder is that there were 6o few casualties, as the church was packed at the time. Trees, fences and outbuildings were destroyed throughout the town and considerable damage done to farm property in the country, bnt no further loss of life is reported. Burt county is in the throes in dead earnest at last. Last week the commis sioners called an election to be held on July 17, to re-locate the county seat. The war will be waged with energy all along the line of the C, St. P. M. & O. road, and it would not be at all surpris ing if staid old Tekamah gets downed in the fight; but if a change is made the county will not recover for ten years from its damaging effects, so predicts the Blair Pilot. The Omaha Republican has announc ed itself in favor of prohibition. It has for many years been one of the leading newspapers of Nebraska. Ckabxes and Kate Ford, William O'Brien and Minnie Winterling have indicted for the murder of David MoofBjtfae Omaha traveling man, at OtUwavHL Dr. Chables H. Wilson, a prominent physician of Nebraska City, widely known, died last Tuesday morning after a lingering illness resulting from an at tack of la grippe last winter, from which he never recovered. There are a host of people who have never fully recovered from the malady of last winter. The wife and four young children of James O'Connor, memler of the edito rial staff of United Ireland, were fatally poisoned at Sea Point, a watering place in County Dublin, Ireland, by eating pickled mussels. Another child of O'Connor's and a servant, who also ate of the mussels, were prostrated, but are now out of danger and slowly recovering. The Norfolk News is responsible for the following: "There are only five states in the Union in which a school master can legally flog a pupil. In all other states a pupil menaced with cor poral punishment can arm himself with any secret weapon and use it as best he can. Massachusetts teachers flog an average of two boys a day per capita." A decision by the supreme court of Minnesota, the first of the kind in the United States, has been announced: "There is an implied contract between the photographer and his customer that the negative shall only be used for the printing of secret portraits as the custo mer may order or authorize." . K. Valentine has entered upon his official duties as sergeaut-at-arms of the U. S. senate. His predecessor, Mr. Cau aday, on retiring, was presented with a handsome gold watch and chain by the employes of the senate. A private scnooti has been opened in Omaha for the benefit of 85 pupils who failed to pass the examination, thus giv ing them a chance to go on with their regular classes at the opening of the school year. While the three years old son of John Vandecar, liting near Rolfe, la., was riding on a 6eeder with his father, the horses ran away, throwing the child to the ground, and before they could le stopped he was dragged to death. July 1st James Taylor, while at work in a saw mill at Clinton, la., was be headed by the breaking of a circular saw, which struck an iron bolt in a log. He was thirty feet from the saw at the time. Pbof. E. B. Barton of Hamilton county is announced as a candidate for nomination as state superintendent of public instruction. He is described as a very successful teacher and educator, likewise as a Nebraska farmer. One day last week four candidates for governor were in Omaha at once John M. Thayer, Jack McCall, L. D. Richards and D. M. Mercer. Douglas county's vote in the coming convention will be 69. The unveiling of the Hendrick's mon ument took place with appropriate ser vices at Indianapolis Tuesday last. An ode by J. W. Riley was read .and an ad dress made by Senator Turpie. During the two weeks ending July 1st there had been reported 144 cases of cholera and 36 deaths at Gandia. The medical authorities think it will not spread. Last Wednesday night a disastrous fire broke out at Seattle, Washington, on the water front, in a row of two-story corrugated-iron-covered buildings, loss S100.000. It is now generally conceded all around that Gov. Hill of New York is a pretty good-sized candidate for nomination as presidential candidate by the democracy. The estimated population of Nebraska by congressional districts is: First 380, 000; Second, 310,000; Third, 520,000. At Moorehead, Minn., Monday, many houses were blown down by a cyclone, seven people loosing their Uvea Washington itHter. From our regular rorrenpondent. Secretary Blaine has not the slightest idea of resigning, although the demo crats are busying themselves in circu lating a silly rumor that he intends re signing if congress does not do some thing towards carrying out his recipro city ideas. Mr. Blaine is by no means alone in those ideas; they are shared by the president and every memler of the cabinet except one, and by mauy of the most eminent republican members of both house and senate; bnt if congress does not see fit to carry them out by the necessary legislation, Mr. Blaino is not the sort of man to resign; he knows that he is in no way responsible for legisla tion. The debate on the federal election law goes merrily along in the house; there was a night session Saturday and there will lie another tonight. The talk has been quite lively at times, but by no means as exciting as it was expected to be, although Representative McComas, of Maryland, who is considered one of the ablest of the southern republicans, had quite a spat with Representative Bland, of Missouri, Saturday afternoon. Mr. McComas's speech was a red hot broadside into the southern democrats and it is not surprising that it should have stirred them up. The president having signed the de pendent pension bill Commissioner Kanin has issued a pamphlet of instruc tions to applicants for pensions under its provisions, which may be obtained by writing to the pension bureau. It al lows a pension of from $6 to S12 per month to all soldiers who served ninety days or longer, who are now, from any cause, unable to earn a support; also to all widows of soldiers and dependent parents. In view of the attempts to predict the date of the adjournment of congress it is well to stop a moment and consider the condition of the regular annual ap propriation bills, which must be passed before adjournment. Only two of them the army and the military academy bill have become laws. The others stand; the agricultural bill passed the house and is now in senate committee; diplomatic bill passed house and senate and now in conference; Districfof Co lumbia bill reported from conference to senate; fortification bill passed house and senate and is in conference; Indian passed house and in senate committee; legislative bill passed house and senate and in conference; naval bill passed both houses and is the hands of the president, pension bill ditto; post office bill passed house and senate and reported from con ference to the senate and the conference report adopted; river and harbor bill passed house and is now on senate cal endar with amendments; sundry civil bill passed the house and is now in sen ate committee; general deficiency bill not completed by the house committee on appropriations. The senate has passed the bill to ad mit Wyoming as a state, and has begun the consideration of the bill admitting Idaho. Senator Morrill called up the tariff bill in the senate today; but it is under stood that the debate upon it is not to begin until next week. Opinions differ as to whether the reciprocity amend ment will be adopted, but the majority seem to think that it will be. The house judiciary committed has reparled a substitute for the senate bill to prohibit the importation of liquor into slates having laws against its sale, which includes all articles of traffic. The Blair educational bill, which was some time ago introduced in the house by representative Cheatem, the colored member from North Carolina, is to be favorably reported to the house by the committee on education. It is not known whether it will lie pushed to a vote at. this session or not, prolably not. Senator Manderson is determined if !ossihle to secure the necessary legisla tion for a new fire proof building for the government printing office this year to take place of the old rookery in which more than 2,000 men and women daily risk their lives and break down their health. There is an available site ad joining the present building which can be secured now, but it may bo gone next year, that is, it may be out of the market. The sooner the ground for a building is bought the more economical it will be for the government. leople needed no help, but were amply able to take care of themselves. Gov. Thayer is a model governor, and the people -especially the farmers should stand by him as a solid friend, one not only able but willing to stand by them in any emergency. And the liars of the press, and the politicians who, through envy and pure innate meanness, slander and abuse the governor without stint or a conscience should be rebuked most effectually by every citizen. The farmers and other laboring classes will look in vain for a man to fill his gubernatorial shoes, un less the silly "third term" objections are overcome for the people's benefit and they again take John M. Thayer. -jAnsehno Sun. Hiirkten's Aroira Salve.

The Bible school of the Platte Center Baptist church held a picnic on the 4th in Mr. M. Bloedorn's grove, which was quite a success. A number of decorated vehicles brought the scholars, teachers and friends from Platte Center and tho neighborhood to the grounds; seats, swings and plenty of good lemonade were provided, while huge baskets con taining delicacies opened for all. Re ligious exercises were conducted in English by Rev. A. Henrich, intermingl ed wun nne singing Dy tne assembly before dinner. Afer an intermission, improved by the children and youths in playing and by the older persons in so cial chat, a German service was conduct ed by Mr. Wm. Blair, a theological student from Rochester, N. Y., who is spending his vacation in Platte conntv. The "Bible school on the Lord's day" (commonly called Sunday school) of the Baptist church of Platte Center is quite successful, numbering nearly fifty at its last session, which, considering the 6hort time ot its existence is certainly a good attendance, and it is doing much good. x. v. .

Few men have been subjected to more outrageous abuse and censure than Gov. Thayer. But there are hosts of people in Nebraska who recognize his great worth as a man, his ability as an ex ecutive and his great services to the state and nation. As an instance of commendation we publish the following: Gov. Thayer 6tands at the head of Ne braska governors, and equals, at least, any governor of any other state in the in terest he takes in the welfare of his people. He is always timely in moving and acting for their welfare and protec tion as in quarantining the cattle plague; for calling for rates so as to en able farmers to ship their corn with at least a little profit, and in many other ways that cannot be mentioned in a brief article. When the people of the nonnwesi were overrun Dy outrages and outlawry Gov. Thayer did not lounge in an easy chair in cosy parlors and dictate proclamations from hear say and current rumors, but he at once went there, right where thieving and lynching were done and saw and talked common sense to the teople. And learn ing what ought to be done by personal observation, he did it, and law and or der was restored, the interests of the border settlers and their good name and that of the state were subserved. And so, recently, hearing that the settlers in extreme western part of the state were suffering from destitution, he went out there to see and learn if any of his peo- Ele needed bread and tne necessaries of fe. He visited several counties, riding over 150 miles by stage. He saw the people at their homes and learned beyond a doubt that the rumors of des titution out there were false; that the District 44 and Vicinity. Corn weather this. The late rains have saved farmers the trouble of pulling some of their oats. We should not foriret to sow buck wheat, millet or rye upon tho stubble ground as soon as can be plowed after harvest; it is much cheaper than fighting weeds besides profitable. Dan Sheedy who was hurt by being run over with a wagon loaded with hogs, June 'Id, is still suffering from the in juries received and will be confined some time yet, at the Monastery, where he was taken immediately after the accident. The spring term of our school closed on the 24th. Exercises in the afternoon consisting of speaking, singing, drill in marching, etc., were all very good, but when the large tank of ice cream, cakes, candies nnd other sweetmeats were brought out, the joy that was in the room knew no bounds until 4 p.m. when each bid their teacher, Miss Wells, an affectionate farewell and started for their respective homes, feeling as if their stomachs had made a visit to the north pole via Paradise. We believe this is Miss Wells's initiatory term and we are placing no unduo credit when we say it was a successful term. The recent school meeting passed off very quiet and satisfactory to all present; there was an election for treasurer which resulted in electing Henry Lusche to that office for the term of three years. A tax of 12 mills was voted 10 mills for general purposes and 2 mills for fencing school lot and putting down new pump and well. There will be nine months school, commencing Sept. 1st. Of the three boys that went from Co- lnmbiis to attend the Fremont Normal, Sam Drinnin returned on June 26th with erysipelas, John Hoagland return ed July 1st to see his Bick mother, and Henry Luckey returned July 4th for the purpose of taking a rest.
