NkkijV, a real estate agent at Kearney, has disappeared leaving some crooked tracks behind, particularly as am authorized abstractor of titles. Petkic Gkoss and Peter Krohn were arraigned at Lincoln the other day on the charge of knowingly buying for the market a steer dying with lumpy jaw. If any one thinks thatthe republican indcjiendent Platte county ticket will not carry, as against, the democratic ticket, he had lielter revise his opinion. Isaac Tuavek, one of the first settlers of Merrick county, a man sixty years old, jumped from a hay mow Sunday week ami was impaled on the handle of a pitchfork. Tm: British steamer Rush Mills, from London, roimrts that on Septemler 111, :UKp miles east northeast from Capo Rare, she passed an enormons icelerg which wasaltout three miles in cirrumfeienco and (KM) feet high. The Sioux City Journal salts the ene my in this fashion: "In 1854. the demo cratic party being on top, stilt was 11 a barrel. In 18U0 salt is about 81.25 tier barrel. This, of course, demonstrates that the tariff is a tax and that the coun try has been and is going to the devil." Fremont Tribune. The 1KB issno of the World-Herald last Wednesday furnished merriment for thousands of Nebraska people, and we know of two men who were astound ed at the dispatch from Grand Island saying that the sugar-beet factory was to be turned into a brewery, and said it surely is not true. Colfax countys now famous prairie dog-town case has finally got to the su preme court. H. II. Weitner claims that he performed his part of a contract to kill all the dogs of the town for $125. John Craig claims he didn't. John had advanced him $75 during the process of killing and refuses to pay him any more. Tire courts of Cincinnati. says the Chicago Intcr-Occau, last weok sentenc ed two men to the penitentiary for pointing at people what were "supposed unloaded guns." It is time that all such numbskulls were put behind the bars. The court ruled that "an examplo should be made," and gave a sentence of "one year in tho penitentiary." Near Gering a cowboy named James McFee becoming despondent been o young lady did not return his affection, wrote a letter to her declaring his in tention, rode his horse to a clump of cottonwoods, tied his lariat rope to an overhanging branch on tho one end anil around his neck on the other, drovo his horse from under him, and was strangl ed to death. BiCHABDSwas a pile-driver admitted. Boyd was a bullwhacker. No disgraco to either. Richards served as a private soldier through the war for the preser vation of the Union. Boyds military fame was won at Camp Dump in Omaha, when as mayor he called for the assist ance of the state militia to overawe tho working men of Omaha. Quite a differ ence. Kearney Hub. Ges. JubaIi A. Eably had a narrow escape from death last Tuesday after noon at Lynchburg, Va. He was stand-, ing in front of a building on Main street which was recently burned when, sud denly and without a moment's warning, the wall fell, burying him in a mass of debris. He was rescued in about twenty minutes, only slightly hurt, from under some largo timbers which held the debris off of bis body. la the Ditch. We have it at second-hand, that Mr. Van Housen, the democratic candidate for senator and Mr. Wilson, the demo cratic candidate for repreeentative,.had- a meeting at Okay last Friday evening; that Mr. Van H. declared that the only difference in sentiment between himself and Mr. Nelson was that Nelson was a prohibitionist while he was opposed to it, first, last and all the time, and that even if the amendment did oarry he would do all he could against it; that Mr. Wilson said these were his senti ments. This kind of talk was not the approved sort for that community, and the questions began to flow, as for in stance: Suppose the proposed amend ment carries and becomes a part of the constitution, wonldn't it be your duty, if elected to the legislature, to help make it operative by law, etc. etc.? One man made the declaration that a man elected to represent the people, and who held to the principles that these men had avowed, w.-is letter fib for the peni tentiary than for the legislature. Our informant tried to explain it all away, but Van Housen was met with the question, Then if you hold the same as Nelson on this subject, what difference is there between you? The truth is that good politics is the same in Grand Prairie as in Okay; in the Bohemian settlements of Colfax, as well as the Irish and the Yankee settle ments of Platte. Mr. Van HoiiBen, "Your banner is in the ditch." Mri ThoponH Logic. Candidate 'Thompson has come and gone and in his wake he has left some queer logic for his party adherents to consider. He jumped onto the republican party with his spiked shoes and proceeded to pnlverizo it for ita hostility to silver, but failed to state why Secretary Man ning under a democratic administration recommended a single gold standard and the whole force of Cleveland's reign was in the interest of Wall street. He likewise neglected to state why, if the democrats were such friends of silver, they voted solidly against the bill pass ed by this congress which has enlarged the field of usefulness of the white metal and increased the volume of currency. And Mr. Thompson failed to state that the silver dollar which, under the hostilo treatment of Cleveland's admin istration was worth only 71 cents, is now under tho direct treatment of a republi can administration worth 92 cents. The speaker was in favor of reciprocity with Ei jlnnd, but he was against free trade j.ml reciprocity with Latin-Ameri ca- that is, he was for free trade and against it, loth at the same time. He w:is opposed to the tariff on wool because the tariff reduced the price of wool and annihilated the sheep industry, while at the same time it increased the cost of woolen goods. This was an eye opener to the audience- it wjis a new wrinkle in the tariff question. It cut both ways and looked so savagely antagonistic to the doctrine of protection that the thirsty democrats took it down at a gulp, without thinking how illogical it was. The republican party was arraigned for ruthlessly granting public lands to aid in tho development of the country by the construction of railroads, when the facts are that they have been pat ented or certified eighty-five million acres of the public domain to states for internal improvements lefore the repub lican party was lwrn in 1860 and but thirty million since the republican party came into power that samo year. In the senate tho bill making the grant to tho Northern Pacific passed that body with out a dissenting vote and the late Thos. A. Hendricks made au eloquent plea in its favor. Candidate Thompson will please come again and explain a few things. Fre mont Tribune. The Third District Onsas.

While Hall county has gained 3,903 in ten years, Dodge 7,622, Platte has gained 8,524. The platform of the Third district republicans is the only direct declaration against the tariff that has been made by any party. That demands free lumber and free salt and a general modification of the tariff on all the necessities of life. And it may be stated that it is the posi tion, exactly, of the man who was nomi nated upon it. That platform is also the only decla ration that property shall be assessed at its full value and that shirks, brokers and capitalists shall be compelled to pay their just burden of taxation. And Mr. Dorsey sanctioned that, em phatically. And the platform declares in favor of public warehouses for the storage of grain, that is of far greater import to the farmers of Nebraska than any other question before the farmers today. And Mr. Dorsey is in full accord with that. Indeed these three planks in tho re publican platform of the Third district are of more importance to the farmers of the conntry than any declarations ever made by any political party of the state. Fremont Flail. Every democratic paper in the coun try, when the Mills bill was under con sideration kept itself busy telling the people of tho boon it would prove to them. Yet this same Mill's bill only placed 40 per cent of our foreign impor tations on the free list while the Mc Kinley bill puts one-half of all tho products imported on the free list, something which no tariff bill in this conntry has yet ever done. The person who asserts that the Mc Kinley bill will increase the cost of living says something he cannot prove. Schuyler Sun. It is just as well for republicans not to depend too much on rumors that the democratic congressional campaign com mittee has no money and that it is doing nothing toward capturing tho noxt house. There are reasons for believing that such rumors are being actively cir culated for the express purpose of throwing the republicans off their guard and inspiring them with an over confi dence in the result of the November elections. The democrats have money in plenty, and will leave no stone un turned to wrest the control of the house from the republicans. That the farmers alliance of North Carolina have found it necessary to take steps looking to the establishment of a co-operative school at Moorhead City in that state speaks volumes for tho poor condition of their public schools. There is not a state controlled by the republican party, in which educational facilities are not furnished, to all without pay, than can possibly be obtained, outside of tho half dozen expensive colleges, in the southern states for pay. When the southern voters become educated more of them will become republicans. Wm. Jobia'n, who arrived at Mont Morris, N. Y., last Tuesday from Mont Clemens, Mich., to visit his daughter, was attacked and beaten by a gang of roughs while standing in front of the Scoville house. Ho died within a few minutes. Tho assault was without any provocation whatever. Daniel Keating, leader of the gang, surrendered himself next morning, and the whole of tho gang, five in number, are now in jail. Keating admits that he killed Joslyn. At a general conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Monday at Salt Lake, tho official decla ration of President Woodruff was read forbidding any marriages in violation of the laws of the land. The conference readopted the original articles of faith. It is regarded as the most important step taken by the church for more than a quarter of a century. The man who, on account of somo personal grievenco or prejudice, votes against tho political party which repre sents every cardinal principle he believes in, makes a mistake, and one that never fails to come homo to roost at tho most inconvenient time. Silver was worth 91 cents under tho Cleveland administration; today it is worth 81.19. These are tho sort of things which have given tho republican party the confidence of tho business men of the conntry. Ex. Near Urliana, O., two mon lioarded a train, entered tho express car, robbed the safe of packages containing several thousand dollars, and made their escape near Belief on taine. Isn't it about time to call tho republi can senatorial convention? There is certainly nothing gained by delay. A fire destroying 1,500,000 worth of property occurred at Sidney, N. S. W., Thursday night. Sioux City, la., has a population of 37,862, an increase of 30,496 over 1880. WafthiMgtoa letter. From onr regular correeixmdcnt.1 Senator Ingalls indignantly denies tho roport sent out from Washington that he was paid 3600 for the speech which he recently made in Pittsburg. Said Mr. Ingalls: "It is an infamous false hood. I neither expected or received any remuneration for the speech. My reward was the consciousness of having done my duty, and it was amply suffi cient." Secretary Tracy considers the recent government tests at Annapolis of tho relative strength of various kinds of metal armor for naval vessels as the most important event in maritime war faro, if the expression be allowable in a time of profound peace, of the age. And congress evidently agreed with him, for his request for nn appropriation of $1,000,000 to purchaso nickel to.lio used in alloying tho nUI plates for all of the cruisers now being built (the test prov od that, plates comtoHcd of nickel and pteol woro tho only onen that could stand the fire of modern artillery) was prompt ly mot by th pnnpnge of n joint resolu tion enrrying an appropriation of that nmoiint for flie purpose named. i'Wirotn ry Noble hns ironed regula tions for the ijuidnm'o of those who may oVeirn t mnke their own applications for ponpionn under tho new pension law, without the Rid of nn attornvy, and copioa will be triHiled to all who care to apply for them. Ho lias also issued utringont orders ngninst any prefer ence lining shown in tho' adjudication of tht-so claims, and any attorney attempt ing to obtain such preference is to be disbarred from practico before the department. ON THE PACIFIC COAST. California as Seen from a Buck-Beard by a Columbux Uentlenan. A word somewhat personal may not be out of place, to explain how this camping expedition canto about. I had been strongly advised to spend the winter on this coast. There are a great many health and pleasure resorts hero where thousands of eastern people attracted by the favorable winter climate, spend that season, but lo remain any considerable time at such places would be exceeding ly irksome to me, even if I could afford i the expense. Tho ordinary hotel and lioardiug house life would be even worse. To travel continuously by rail is also too expensive; besides, tho trains often take you to places you do not care for and leave at ono side, just what you want most to see. I found here a very gen eral custom of families and parties going on camping expeditions during the sum mer. Tho heat of the inland towns drives people to the mountains or the coast, ami tho people from th cooler coast regions camp becauso others do, or liecauso they like it. Some whoso time or purse does not allow of extended tours, put a little Iietiding, a few rooking utensils, some horse feed and a cheap tent, into a wagon, tho family getting on top, or a part of it into another light conveyance, and go into somo canon of the mountains or to some fishing ground not far away and spend a week, taking their supply of food with them, or do pending on tho groceries and farm houses they pass on tho way, and they have a good time. Fanners as well as town people mako these excursions. Often several of a neighborhood go tin these expeditions together. Somo mako a more elaborate and expensive matter of it. I know a merchant in Santa Bar bara who rigged up a very comfortable threo-seatod conveyance and arranged to carry the camping equipage, put on a team of four mules, took his family and spont two and a half months this sum mer, traveling 1,350 miles. Ho told mo they lived in tho tent sill tho timo and enjoyed the trip wonderfully, and ho camo back greatly recruited in health, spending a short timo in a place. Par ties from tho coast usually go to tho mountains, whilo those from the interior como to tho coast. The entire absence of rain during tho sumnior season makes this out-door living practicable, which it would not be, oxcopt for the most hardy people, in our country. Well, it occurred to me that I might utilize this custom. So I bought a good, strong horse and a buck-board mado expressly for mountain traveling. Iloraes are cheap over here. They seem to bo raised as easily as in old mission times. At Santa Barbara mission tind two or three others, they increased so fast that every few years they found tho ranges over stocked and the surplus was ordered to lie killed. At one time, I think in 1830, after allotting 'M horses to each family under the jurisdiction of Santa Barbara mission, all tho rest were ordered to lie slaughtered, and tho result was that 7,000 horses wero killed, and large nuni liers at other times. This is a matter of record among the old mission archives now existing. From the numlK-r of horses wo soo in the great pastures here now, it would seem that either a general killing or shipping would soon be neces sary. I got an 8 year-old, most excel lent horse for our purpose for 80, and very good light horses are sold for from 30 to S70. My son, who is spending his vacation over here, decided to go with me for a time; our wardrobe is contain ed in two common traveling satchels; a pair of blankets and quilt each consti tute our bedding, a close box for food: a sack of grain for tho horse, and a com fortable little tent, which can be put up or taken down in five minutes, composo our outfit, making all told less than 200 pounds weight and tho cost, aside from tho horse and buggy, was but trilling. I speak of these personal matters sim ply liecauso if tho experiment results in what it promises now, I hope to induce others needing the same sort of rest, to try it. Wo started Aug. 26th, reaching this place last evening, the distance be ing 274 miles, and wo lay over Saturday wishing to remain over Sunday in the town wo had reached. W have neither slopt in a house nor eaten a meal we did not prepare ourselves, since wo started. I have gainod already several pounds in flesh and much more in spirit. Wo have enjoyed ourselves immensoly and havo learned more of tho country and people than wo possibly could have done in any other way. Our enliro expenses havo been less than tho lioard of ono of us at any respectable hotol anywhere, and I havo not lived as well since I camo to California as during tho past ten days. I should 1m very sorry to go back to common hotel fare. It's a fact. Tho other night wo camo to a village where wo oxjiected to camp, but tho livery stable man would sell us no hay to go out of tho barn. As it was lato I pro posed to stay at tho hotol for a night. Fred said "No, I would rather drivo on till we como to somo farm where they will sell us hay, than to havo to eat hotel fare." I was really of tho samo mind and we drovo on a milo or two, and no traveler at San Francisco's Palace Hotel paying 7 a day enjoyed his supper bet ter than wo did ours if it was cooked by ourselves after dark, nor had a more re freshing sleep in his linen sheets on soft mattresses in that veritable palace than wo did rolled in our blankets on tho liosom of mother earth under our little tent! At a future time I hope to givo somo facts and impressions that 1 have gath ered on the way, that may interest the readers of these hastily written letters. We aro headed Tor the Yo Semite coun try but expect to take in somo interest ing sections on the way. We remain in this most interesting place till tomorrow. Our tent is pitched in a grovo of live (evergreen) oaks, just out r the town facing tho most beautiful bay. It was hero that Captain Mervino on tho 7th of July, 1846, raised the stars and stripes amid the booming of cannon from tho shipping in tho harlior ami cheering of citizens on land and the proclamation was read declaring California henceforth a iortion of the Uuited States. The location is most delightful, fronting the harbor, with .tho pine-clad mountains rising grandly on three sides. The old town has a very foreign look. It con tains but 2,700 people. In tho suburbs is the noted Hotel del Monte, a celebra ted winter resort for eastern people aud owned and managed by Southern Pacific R. R. It is claimed to lie the finest sea side resort in the world. I can only 6ay that it exceeds anything I have ever seen either in this country or in Europe. The grounds consisting of 126 acres, wonderfully well adapted for the pur pose by nature, are kept in order by a constant force of between 30 and 40 men, under the direction of one of the best landscape gardeners in America, and everything else is done on tho samo mag nificent scale. J. H. Reed. MONTKUKV, Cul. ALL1ANCB TURN-OUT. A tJreat Day for the Farmers and TSiey were Here by the Hundred. Saturday last was a "crowder" for the indeendent party in this county, and no mistake. Tho business houses of tho city were decorated with the national colors, and banners giving hearty greeting to tho men, women, lioys and girls, on whoso intelligence and worth rests the general welfare of the country. "Agriculture is the bulwark of our country:" "The keys of tho city are yours;" "Columbus greets you all;" "Welcome to Columbus" were among the sentiments flying to tho breeze. Aliout 11 o'clock the parade started through tho streets, and consisted of men on horseback, and men, women and children in all kinds of vehicles. Some of the sentiments on banners, etc., were indeed very striking, among them wo make note of: A better day is coming: Tho farmers must rule; Tho farmers will vote as they plowed straight; In union thero is strength; Wo aro inde jKMident voters; Let law give equal rights; Wo aro the hay seeds; a lioy on horseback carried a bloody shirt :ih a banner, another a stick marked "slan der;" No iMiIiticians need apply; Kem we trust; Down with tho bosses. Among tho alliances represented wo noticed Wattsville, Shell Creek, Reed, Platto Valley, Smith Centor, Richland, Burnunt, rrairio Creek, Okay, Fairviow, Pleasant Valley, Palestine, Eureka, Mayville, Ridge, Lost Creek, Duncan. Ono of tho most noticeable floats was that in which a farm bell was placed upon the top of a post, the inscription reading uRing, grandpa, ring for lilier ty," S. O. Raymond representing grand pa, and giving tho ropo a vigorous pull occasionally. A banner had on it tho words of Novillo at tho democratic con vention moving tho endorsement of Kem, and thoso of John G. Higgins de claring that the alliance was a side show. Ono old democrat says "tell them that tho situation is reversed- the allianco is ono of tho main tents, and the democracy is now tho side show."J Another striking exhibition was a hard looking team, drawing a dilapidat ed wagon on which wero broken-down hay-ladders and a very rudely construct ed cabin tent; tho driver was clad in rags, with belt mado of hay rope, a piece of board for a whip. Over till was Paying 2 icr cent interest has brought us to this. Thero wero 150 vehicles in line, aud everything was neatly managed by Marshal E. O. Wells, his assistant G. A. Scott, and the officers or the several al liances. The bands furnished music and ad ded to the enjoyments of the day were Columbus Cornet, Oconee and Genoa Indian. It, was dinner time when the proces sion had filed through the city. After dinner the speaking took place in Frankfort Square, G. C. Harnum presiding, and Mayor R. II. Henry wel coming the throng to the city. Tho first speaker was M. L. Wheat of Iowa, and his speech was made from the standpoint of the Knights of Labor, of which organization he is an influential member. He is a very entertaining speaker and said some excellent things that most men of all political parties ap prove. Ho ridiculed the notion of over production - it was under consumption, the men who toil do not get their just share of the good things of life. There is too much of our soil going into tho h inds of foreign nobles ami syndicates, now amounting to 31,500,000 acres. Our circulating medium has been tampered with to the injury of tho producers. He combated the notion that mortgages are evidences of prosperity. Money has control of the products of toil. At present, prices it would require nioro cattle, hogs, wheat or corn to pay our national debt than it did at tho close of the war. O. M. Kem, the independent candidate for congress was tho next speaker. Ho is not so largo a man as Dorsey nor so small as Thompson; his manner as a speaker gives ono tho impression that ho is earnest. Ho g.-ivo a short review of his campaign since his nomination in this city. Ho told his audience that from appearances in this campaign tho pcoplo had not been so aroused in their own interests, sinco 18(0. Tho salvation of tho homo is tho problem before tho people today. Notwithstanding years of hard work and niggardly economy, tho homes of tho pcoplo aro lioing taken from them. Tho system of things is against us, and wo havo reached the point whero wo aro going to cease to lieg for our own. Our system of things during tho past twenty-five years has produced moro paupers and millionaires than evor before, whilo tho laboring peo ple havo produced more than in any ago of tho world during tho samo limit of time. lie spoko of tho currency as tho life blood of commerce, and commented up on tho bad jRiIicy of issuing inlerest Iiearing lionds. Ho laid down his finan cial iwliey as: First, To crcato money enough to meet the demands of trade whether it is $25, $50 or $100 per capita; second, to make every dollar worth just as much as any other. Third, no banks of issue. As lo the transportation ques tion, the rates should bo fixed on a fair interest on the actual investment in railroads, and not uion watered stock. Consumers who are producers pay trans portation loth ways, and it becomes them to make the law on rates. Ho favors an income tax. He stated that railroad properly is assessed at one-sixth its actual value while farm pnqierty was one-third, and this should be remedied. He said that common people would re gain their rights through the medium that they lost them, the ballot box, and exhorted them to face their common enemy in defense of their homes and their country. W. J. Edgerton, candidato for attorney-general, was the last sfieaker. He flvcfdt nn tho transnortation ouestion. . , , .. 1 finance, the extravagances of legiela- tures, the current campaign, demo cratic and republican delusions, etc. He made a statement that he had heard an agent of a loaning company say that his company had borrowed Swiss money at A per cont and invested $5,000,000 of it through an agent in this city at 8 per cent, and commented upon this state of facts. The big moneyed men are about to swallow the smaller ones, and ho urged the peoplo to make their protest against the system by their ballots. The meeting at night at tho opora house was addressed by Messrs. Cham lierlain, Wheat and Kem, tho two latter virtually repeating the sentiments of the afternoon. Weather Report.
