Republican National Ticket. 'For President, BENJAMIN HARRISON, of Indiana. For Vice President, WHTEELAW REID, of New York. Congressional. For Congressman Third District, GEORGE D. MEIKLEJOHN, of Nance County. Gladstone will have a majority of forty-two in the next house. Benjamin Harbison is a safe man in the presidential chair. He attends strictly to business. Walt Seelt ought never to have had anything to do with the republican party of Nebraska. Nature never put him together for a good republican. Let the Douglas county -delegation go to Lincoln with a candidate for gov ernor, say Lorenzo Crounse, and we be lieve tho convention will endorse their choice. The U. S. consul at Vera Cruz has just recovered from an attack of yellow fever. Hundreds of people are leaving the city. The rate of mortality is alarm ingly large. Thbee hundred skilled workmen at the Duquesne mills of the Carnegie Steel Company at Pitt3burg went on a strike Friday night in sympathy with the Homestead men. A. J. Cropset has brought a charge of fraud against Chancellor C F. Creighton of the Wesleyan university at Lincoln. . Tho trial will probably take place this " fall before Bishop Warren. . " AIns Wm. Bosshe, sr., of Norfolk, got a fish bone in her throat below the larynx, and would not submit to an operation under tho influence of an anaesthetic, and died as a result. The province of Ravigo, in the north ern part of Italy was swept by a terrific cyclone Tuesday of last week. An enor mous amount of property was destroyed, and. it is belioved, many lives lost. a School district No. 18, Clear precinct, Polk county, tupports a church with preaching every alternate Sunday at 3 p. m., Sunday school every Sunday at 150. They now have an organ to help with tho music The German army has adopted for their bread, one-half corn and one-half rye, making a superior article of food. An increase of 5 cents a bushel on such a crop as we raised in 1890 would amount to over 100,000,000. It is now thought that the cholera will march triumphant through Europe. A workman died at Vienna July 2d, but the fact was suppressed and no pre cautions taken; the plague spread and a largo number have died. TnK nomination of Meiklejolm for congress was made at Fremont Wed nesday on tho first formal ballot, tho vote standing: Meiklejolm 55; Hayes 10; Norris 20; Welch 8. The committeeman " for this county is Carl Kramer. . Dana of the N. Y. Sun and McClure of the Philadelphia Times are the two greatest anti-republican editors in Amer ica, says tho Omaha Bee, and it is note worthy that they both take tho same sensible view of the Homestead riot ; When the vessels now under con struction together with those authorized to.be built aro completed, we shall have a very respectable navy of modern war . ships. There will bo forty-three vessels in all, carrying 3G4 guns and manned by 11,094 officers and men. The state convention of tho Epworth League convened at Hastings, July 122 " to ' 24. Enthusiastic delegates were . present numbering about 300. They arrayed themselves in strong languago . against Sunday opening of the World's Fair, the liquor traffic and Sundav base ' - ball. Mns. Clara Ksapi of Fremont has .brought suit against several Fremont ,.6alpon keepers and their bondsmen, twenty defendants in all, to recover $10,000 damages caused, as alleged, by selling liquor to her husband, and his sudden death from excessive drinking ; on the night of June 11th. It goes a good ways. At a convention of fifty-two representatives of the car penters' unions of New England, held at Boston last Wednesday it was resolved .that the organized carpenters of New England should refuse to work on any 'building where the structural iron is .. furnished by the Carnegie company. Geohge L. Ketpek was nominated as ' the'democratic candidate for congress by the convention at Norfolk Monday ' night, after the first informal ballot, "whioh was: Keiper 65, Hensley 24, Gray 16. We thought the logic of tho situation was with Judge Hensley, and we still believe that he would have been nominated had his name been announced earlier in the campaign. Platte county deaocrate will doubtless be expected to formica good share of the rotes for the -candidate. V Thoxas H. Cabteb, the newchair- not the republican national commit- J tee, was not widely known previous to the Minneapolis convention, but his masterly work there gave him at once a national reputation, as a shrewd political manipulator, and caused ex-chairman CJarkson, qgainst whose candidate Car ter was working, to eay that he was the shrewdest politician of his age in the country. He is at present -land com missioner, but he will resign and give his whole attention to the campaign. These is no subject of greater econ omic interest than that of roads and transportation. The common roads of the country are among the first elements of commercial greatness. Bad roads in times of financial straits have been the ruin of many a farmer and country mer chant, and good roads (at reasonable cost) are always a blessing. Albert A. Pope of Boston, Mass., has prepared a memorial to congress on the subject of a comprehensive exhibit of roads, their construction and maintenance at the World's Columbian exposition. Send to your member of congress for a copy. If Mr. Pope's labors succeed in awakening general interest in this subject, they will be a valuable contribution to the busi ness of the country. THE COMING GRASS. How It Grown in California and Why. 3Ir. Keeil Makes a Suggestion Worth For tunes to Nebraska Farmers. EDrron Journal: In the last num ber of Tns Journal I notice alfalfa is spoken of favorably for low ground. I experimented with it a little before leaving Nebraska, but with littlo en couragement. I also know other Ne braska farmers who commenced its cul ture in great confidence, which ended in disappointment, and I never saw or knew of a well set alfalfa field in the state, though there may be such. I have learned much more of 'tho habits and necessities of the plant since hero. Alfalfa is the only species of clover (no grasses proper aro cultivated hero ex copt in ornamental lawns) cultivated in Southern California. Under favorable circumstances and with intelligent man agement tho results are simply won drous. But its demands aro imperative. It must have a deep, rich soil and constant moisture and plenty of it. Under favorable conditions a much larger product may be had thtin from any other forage plant I know. In the spring of '91 1 sowed about half an acre to alfalfa. I took off six cuttings dur ing tho summer, averaging about half a ton each to tho half acre. I thought this quite remarkable. But this year it is a constant wonder to me. On the 20th of June I cut from the half aero a cousiderablo over one ton of dry hay which had been growing but 26 days. Two other crops equally as large had been taken from it before this spring, and at least five more will be cut before winter. Alfalfa hay is worth S12 per ton Here. Last year it was sold for 15 to S18. If this was all tho story, the remark mado by my old Columbus friend, Rov. Griswold, after looking at the wonderful growth a few days ago, 'why you have a bonanza in alfalfa alone here," would bo true. But like many another California story, an important part is omitted. It's water that costs here, and tho extra water required to make from two to threo tons of dry hay per acre which is easily done, is a very material item in figuring tho profits on ulfnlfa raising. In Nebraska I think there are comparatively few spots where the gronnd would not become dry and hard during some portion of tho year or when water would not stand on the ground at times, either of which would bo fatal to tho crop. Besides, alfalfa is an exceedingly tender plant and the late and early frosts of the northern states would materially shorten its sea son. But unless tho severe winters would be too hard on the roots, I'm not sure but it could bo raised with profit there in a small way by irrigation. It will bo many years before irrigation will be used in producing general crops to any considerable extent in the prairie states of the middle west, but I am quito satisfied that it might be used to great advantage for special purposes, by using tho common wind mill with storage tanks. It would well pay tho expense just for vegetable and small fruit gardens. There never need bo failure on account of drouth of plenty of vegetables and instead of the luxury of small fruits from the home garden extending over barely two or three weeks, it might be enjoyed as many months. Since early in March our table has been abundantly supplied with fresh strawberries, every day, from a small patch and the promise today for weeks to corao is as good as at any timo since tbe vines commenced bearing. Most luscious blackberries commenced ripen ing about the middle of Juno and with proper management of the water they will continue to fruit for at least three months other small fruits the same. Of course tho ordinary March or Octo ber Nebraska weather is not very con ducive to fruit ripening, but I can not see why both vegetables and small fruits may not, not only bo assured but their season extended during the greater por tion of the warm months there by water artificially applied between rains. 1 think in another letter I will de scribe a simplo plan of irrigating from a storage tank or other supply, hoping somo of my old farmer friends may try tho experiment on some special crop in a small way. J. H. Reed, Riverside, Calif. Not a Great Fruit Crop. Dayton, Ohio, July 2.I. By tele graph reports to the Kiefabcr company yesterday afternoon it is learned that the peach crop in southwestern Ohio will not amount to much and what there is will be late. Lake Erie orch ards have none. Some parts of Michi gan will have good peaches. " Few ap ples in Michigan. None in southwest ern Ohio. Pears good everywhere. Dayton commission houses have shipped 25,000 barrels of cabbage to Detroit and Cleveland at 90 cents to 83 per barrel. Dry Weather and Forest Fires. Halifax, N. S., July 23. There has been so little rain in Cape Breton for the last six weeks that forest fires have started and been raging for the past ten days. People in all directions are be coming very much alarmed in conse quence, fearing they may have an ex experience similar to that of St. Johns, N. F. Unless there is rain to-night or to-morrow much property will be de stroyed throughout the country and the fires may reach the towns of Sid ney and North Sydney. Work on Cruisers Delayed. Philadelphia, July 25. Work on the cruiser New York is being delayed be cause of non-receipt of her armor from the Carnegie works. The boat will be launched next week but without side armor, the Carnegie works having this contract also. No armor for the Mass achusetts is here, the Carnegie people being the contractors. The Indiana armor for launching is all here from the Bethlehem iron works. Is a Broader Policy. Ottawa, Ont., July 25. A prominent government official says that the Amer ican policy is a much broader one than thejmere question of car-tolls, compre hending as the ultimate object the right of navigation through the entire St. Lawrence system, perfect equality with British subjects and under an un limited guaranty. FBICK HAS BEEN SHOT BIO SENSATION IN THE HOME STEAD TROUBLE. Repcrtad t Ba Dyta 0Daaira Trial DaTriepa Kathlar Kaw. mad tfca Conrt Takes a Baoaaa Tk MBla at Homestead Worklnjr. Pursue, Pa., July 25. At 1:15 o'clock this afternoon H. C. Prick was shot by a man supposed to be a Jew, whose name in unknown. The man came into his office and without warn ing fired. It is not known how dangerously Mr. Frick is injured. He is able to talk. The man has been arrested. There are four wounds. One is in the neck, two in the back and the fourth in the side. The man had a knife, and, as only three shots were heard, it is supposed the fourth wound that in the side is from a knife. Dr. Litchfield, who made an examina tion, says that he cannot tell whether the wounds will result fatally. Mr. Frick's condition, however, is regarded as very serious. The would-be assassin has frequently been in Mr. Frick's office, and was ad mitted to-day without question. Mr. Frick was alone, and what passed be tween them is not known yet. After the shooting Secretary Leishman rushed in and grabbed the man, who turned on -Mr. Lieismnan, oui was overpow ered. The police were summoned and the man was taken to Central station. In the meanwhile an immense crowd had begun to gather in the streets, and when the officers appeared with their prisoner, who was pale and trembling, and with his clothing spattered with blood, there were hundreds of groans and howls, intermingled with cries of "Shoot him!" "Lynch the murderer!" It was with difficulty that the officers succeeded in conveying the man in safety to the patrol box at the corner of Wood street and Fifth ave nue, from which the patrol wagon was summoned. He was roughly pushed into the vehicle and taken to Central station, where he gave the name of Alexander Bcrkman, and said that he resided on Forty-second street, New York. He was, he said, a Russian Jew; had been in America six years and in Pitts burg two days. He has been stop ping at the Merchants' Hotel on Water street. When questioned re garding his occupation he said he had been a compositor on a New York paper, but declined to give its name. Upon being searched a number of 38 cal. cartridges were found in his coat pocket. During the process of searching he became wildly excited and deathly pale. The general impression of all who saw him at this juncture was that he was undoubtedly de mented. At 3 o'clock the attending physicians will risk no opinion regarding the chances of Mr. Frick's recovery. It is feared that the effect of the news upon Mrs. Frick, who eight or ten days ago became the mother of a little boy, and who is devotedly attached to her hus band, will be very serious. The excitement in the city is growing with every minute, and no such fever has been experienced since the riots of ' 77. Business men have left their stores and are mingling with the surging crowd of people, and business in the central portion of the city, for the time being, is practically suspended. STRIKERS IN COURT. Hearing- or the Case Against O'Donnell and Ross. PrrrsBUBG, Pa., Jul' 25. The hear ing on the application for the release of Hugh O'Donnell and Hugh Ross, the Homestead strike leaders, came up this morning. The hearing was set for 10 o'clock, but long before that time, the court room was erowded and the hallways filled, while groups of men stood around the entrance to the court house and discussed the probable out come. About forty witnesses were subpeenaed bj' the commonwealth, and among them were citizens of Home stead, some of them mill-workers, newspaper men and members of the National Guard. After three hours work nothing new was elicted. and the court took a recess at 12:3.. Homestead Strikers EacourMied. "Homestead, Pa., July 25. -o.i to Braddoek!" was the war cry here to day. It was whispered in every dwelling, mooted at every street corner, talked over at different meetings, until the trains roaring past to Braddoek, carry ing hundreds of the locked -out men, seem to carry also a refrain which is music to the hopes of the Home steaders. "Braddoek will close down." With the bringing out of the Du quesne workers the people here expect that public sentiment at home, assisted by pressure from here and Duquesne will compel the Edgar Thomson plant operatives to quit almost immediately. The men here propose making a vigor ous canvas to that end and the Amalga mated association is willing to promise everything to the Braddoek men if they join the sympathy strike movement. Despite gloomy reports from the coke region, the men here do not intend to abandon that region without an at tempt, and for that purpose, it is pro posed, if the Braddoek men strike, to make personal appeals to the coke workers, send up Slav orators and arbi trators and also to scatter broadcast pamphlets bearing on the strike and appealing to the men to take advant age of this time and organize. It was to be dinned into the ears of coke workers that the militia is now at Homestead and they need fear for no repetition of the Loar incident. A darker and more threatening story is in circulation here, which causes much adverse comment, though, denied by the advisory committee. Several engineers on freight trains over the Monongahela. division of the PitUWrg, MoKeesport &. Youghiogeny railroad have been approached and warned by parties unknown that if they carried a pound of steel out of theMunhall yards they would be shot. The engineers have been requested to furnish descrip tions of the men uttering the threats and prompt arrests will be made. AMERICAN TIN PLATE- A Total Prodoctloa of 13.248,830 rounds Darin the Last Fiscal Year. Washington, July 25. The Treasury Department has received a special re port from Special Agent Ayer, in which he says that the production of tin and terne plates for the quarter ending June 30, 1892, as shown by the sworn statements of manufactur ers, was over 8,000,000 pounds as against 3,004,037 pounds during the previous quarter, and about 5,240,000 pounds for the previous nine months, the total production for the whole year being 13,240,830 pounds. Of the 8,000,000 pounds produced during the last quar ter, over 5,000,000 pounds were nude , irom American plates. In addiuoa to the f oregointv the production of Juaer- 1 lean sheefiron or steel into articles and wares' tinned or terne coated daring the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892, aa shown by the sworn statements of manufacturers, was more than 2,000,000 pounds, the 'returns being as yet in complete. PINE STOCK BURNED UP. BoUIfbrook Stable Daasagad aaa Six teen Horses Farbk la tka Flaataa. Baltimore, July 25. The famous Bollingbrook stables on the farm of R. W. Walden, at Middleburg, Carroll county, Md., were struck by lightning and set on fire last night. The flames spread and soon enveloped the whole series of buildings, lighting up the country for miles around. The cries of the frightened horses could be heard for a long distance. Bollingbrook is a model stock farm. w John A. and A. H. Morris own most of the .horses there, which which are valued at nearly half a mil lion dollars. The stallions include such animals as imported Galore, who cost 930,000; Tom Ochiltree and the beauti ful imported Hopeful. Probably the only insured horse on the farm is im ported Galore, for only $7,000. TRAIN ROBBERS ENCAMPED Near Fryor Creak Station, I. T. Ola cars Afraid to Tackle Them. Vinita, I. T., July 25. Interest in the train robbery was revived yesterday by a report sent from Big Cabin Switch, eight miles below here, that the Dal tons were seen moving in the direction of this city. Nine armed men rede up to the house of a man named Woods, three miles east of Big Cabin, about sunset last evening and inquired the way to Vinita. It was assumed that these fellows were the outlaws. The outlaws have been in camp ever since the -robbery about six or eight miles east of Pryor Creek station. It is suggested that as the officers would not go out to hunt them they have started out to hunt the officers. DANIEL DOUGHERTY ILL. Tka Famous Orator Dangerously Sick with Malarial Fever.

An Ottawa, Ont., special says it is re ported on good authoritythat the dominion government in the event of President Harrison's en forcing the act imposing an equal tax on Canadian vessels passing through the Soo canal, will pass an order in council imposing a tax on American vessels passing through tbe Welland canal. This, it is declared, will not be I any more of an evasion of the treaty of j Washington than the threatened Amer : ican decree, as the United States gov j eminent by the same treaty agreed to j secure the Canadians, on the same I terms as Americans, the use of the Soo canal, at that time owned by the State of Michigan. The Maverick Bank Trouble. Boston, July 25. New legal talent has been summoned to assist District Attorney Allen in preparing new in dictments against Messrs. French and Potter, of the Maverick bank. The grand jury will not come in before Aug. 16, and it is agreed that no ar rests shall be made before the grand jury has considered the cases. It is the general opinion of the bar that the offences committed in the Maverick National bank, while forbidden by the United States statute, cannot be pun ished, as the statue provided for no punishment except upon the offending bank. His Heroism Rewarded. Boston, July 25. Clayton C. Clough has come into 5,000 by the will of Hereford Drummond of Drummond Chambers, 10 John street, London. About a year and a half ago, when in Halifax, Mr. Clough, at the risk of his life, stopped a pair of runaway horses attached to a carriage in which were Mr. Drummond and his only daughter. The gentleman wished to show his gratitude in some substantial way, but Mr. Clough declined a reward. Murdered In Their Red. Denver, July 25. Mr. and Mrs. Ja eob Scott were murderously assaulted while in their bed early this morning and frightfully chopped with a hatchet. They died in a short time after being discovered. The murderer is unknown, but the former husband of Mrs. Scott, Peter Heenan, is suspected of the crime, as he is known to have made murder ous threats by letter from Los Angeles, where she left him. Whether Heenan is in Denver or not is not known to the police. A Depot Gntted. Athol, Mass., July 25. The depot of the Fitchburg railroad here, one of the finest on the road, was gutted by fire last night. The loss to the com pany will be heavy and the fire will cause much inconvenience, as the build ing was used as a union depot for both the Fitchburg and Boston & Albany roads. Kxtreme Heat la Illinois. Belvidere, 111., July 25. The heat has been excessive, thermometer regis tering from 98 to 102 degrees in the shade.

Washington, July 25. The main building of the Chris Henrich Brewing company, on Twentieth street, be tween M and N, occupying nearly one half of the square, was almost com pletely destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning.

MAT SECUEE IT YET. THE WORLD'S PAIR APPROPRIA TION MAY BE MADE. Its Frlaaas dalas a Majority of Twenty ta TweatyFlve Camadlaa taltatlaa tka Frlaclpal Teple of Dlseusslaa at tka Natleaal Capital. Washington, July 25. The $5,000,000 appropriation for the Columbian expo sition is almost certain to be conceded by Congress. That seems to be settled. The friends of the fair anjfnore hopeful than ever to-day. Mr. Durborow claims already a majority of from fifteen to twenty for the appropriation, and the ease with which he secures the promise of many who voted against the appro priation on Tuesday to vote for it when the time comes may in a great measure be attributed to the subtle influence of the ex-President. The fight will not take plaee until next week. It might have come off to-day had the leaders desired, but they feared the absence of members who wanted to spend Sunday at the seashore would jeopardize their almost assured victory, and at their request the conference committee will not hasten its work. Mr. Sayers said to-day that the com mittee wonld not make its report be fore next Monday and possibly not until Tuesday. ANTI-OPTION WILL GO OVER. Senator Davis GIres Up All Hopes of Reaching a Vote at This Sesssoa. Washington, July 25. The anti-option bill is not expected to reach a vote this session, C. Wood Davis, who knows more about the situation than Wash burn himself said late this after noon; "I do not look now for a vote. The opponents will talk too long. When the motion to adopt a resolution fixing a certain day for adjournment is reached it will, I believe, be carried. The debate will go on until the session ends. I had hoped for a vote this ses sion. However, it means only a post ponement of a few months; for I have assurances that the bill will be passed within thirty days of the reassembling of Congress next December." To-day's debate in the Senate on the anti-option bill was led by Senator Hansborough. Senator Washburn ad raits the possibility of his bill going over to December, but he sticks to his belief that he will be able to get a vote next week. "I have not given up the fight," he said. "I shall push the bill as hard as I cun and as I do not look for Congress to adjourn till next Satur day or the following Monday I think that I can get a vote before then." READY FOR RETALIATION. Tka Canal Toll BUI Passsd By Request ot tka President. Washington, July 25. The passage by the Senate of the Canadian retalia tion bill without the formality of a vote, and with no consideration of the measure, was surprising and unex pected. By the terms of the bill the President is giving power to im pose tolls upon Canadian freight and passengers passing through the Sault Ste. Marie canal, and even to prohibit the use of the canal to them. Tolls upon freight are to be $2 a ton and on passengers not above $5 a head. Although there was no debate, it is known that the subject has been thor oughly considered in executive session. The expedition was due to to a direct intimation from the President that he desired immediate action. For some time past secret agents of Canada have been here endeavoring to arrange an amicable settlement of the trouble, but it is evident that their propositions were not acceptable, hence the intima tion to the foreign committee, upon which the Senate acted yesterday. BUSINESS IN CONGRESS. Senator Morgan Proposes a New Plan to Collect the Debt of Pacific Roads. Washington, July 25 . In the senate to-day, Senator Morgan introduced a bill empowering the government to take possession of the Central and Union Pacific railways until their debt to the government is paid, .the roads to be managed by a board of fifteen direc tors, five appointed by the stockholders and ten by the President, It was re ferred to the special committee on Pa cific roads. A bill in regard to sales of property under orders of the court led to a de bate on the silver question, in which Senators Teller, Sherman and others took part. In the House the French spoliation claims in the general deficiency bill were taken up. They amount to $737, 785. The Senate amendment providing for the payment of the claims was re jected yeas, 79; nays, 117. Smaccllar Oplnaa from Canada. Washington, July 25. The Treasury Department is advised of an important arrest at Buffalo, N. Y., in the person of William Watt, a wholesale commis sion merchant, and of an acomplice in the person of Peter Ling, a Chinaman. Watt was engaged in importing eggs from Canada, and by this means man aged to smuggle with the eggs large quantities of opium. Ling sold othe opium for him, and confessed that Watt offered to sell him $3,000 worth of opium, presumably imported in eggs. Only one pound of opium was found at Watt's store. THE DEACON SCANDAL AGAIN. Tka Hasbaad Bring Salt Ajralast His Wife for Adaltery. Paris, July 25. Mr. Edward Parker Deacon, who is serving a one-year sen tence at Grassc for shooting and kill ing M. Abeille at the Hotel Splendide, has opened a proceeding against his wife for adultery with M. Abeille. This action is taken by Mr. Deacon in consequence of Mrs. Deacon's applica tion summoning her husband to permit her to have access to the children. According to the French law, if Mrs. Deacon is found guilty of the charge her husband makes against her she will be liable to a term of imprison ment. The custody of the children was awarded to Mr. Deacon, and they are now in charge of his brother. The statement that they are living with their mother at the Convent of Our Lady of the Assumption is disproved by the action taken by Mrs. Deacon for a legal order allowing her to see them. Mon-Unlon Man for tka Mills. Pittsburg, July 25. The steamboat Tide took forty-five non-union men to Homestead this morning and will leave here again this afternoon with fifty more. These men arrived to-day from Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis. Captain Clark says new men are coming in on every train..
