WEDNESDAY. MAY 17. 1893.
The A. O. U. W. grand lodge was in
session at Lincoln part of last week,
Grand Master Tate presiding. The next
annual meeting will be held at Kearney.
The residence of Hon. John Mahon,
editor of the Muscatine, la., Journal
and one of the most energetic prohibi
tion workers in that state, was blown up
by dynamite early Thursday morning
last. His family fortunately escaped
injury.
A touno lady named Anderson at
Hastings on Monday of last week sound
ly horsewhipped a young man named
Devere, who, she claimed, had used
slanderous language in connection with
her good name. If she did it after due
consideration and thorough investiga
tion, Bhe deserves credit, otherwise not.
General Victor Vifquais, who was
adjutant general under the Boyd admin
istration, received his commission from
President Cleveland naming him for the
position of consul general at Panama.
The general has secured his passport
and will sail from New York for his new
field of labor about May 30.
Mn. Sedgwick of the York Times se
cured the contract for printing the
senate and house journals ot the last
session. Ninety-nine cents a page seems
low to us, and will be quite a saving to
the state, as the last contract was some
thing like $2.50. If Mr. Sedgwick can
lay up treasures at 99 cents a page, we
are satisfied, but it seems low.
Elsewhere in this paper will be found
a proclamation from President Cleve
land asking for rest, which places the
poor office seeker between the devil and
the deep sea. Mr. Cleveland warns him
not to apply for office, and if he com
plies with Mr. Cleveland's order he will
be in danger of being overlooked alto
gether. What is he to do? Mr. Cleve
land should put forth a new bulletin
lnntnintincr faithful democrats how to
go to work to be saved. He could call
it "A guide to office seekers who have
been loyal to mo and my policy."
The second annual exposition of the
Manufacturers' and Consumer's Ass'n
of Nebraska will bo held in Omaha from
May 22d to June 3d. The association
is organized for the purpose of stimulat
ing the consumption of goods made in
the 6tate, believing that the best way to
increase the manufacturing industry
and develop the resources of the state
is to create a demand for Nebraska
manufactured goods. They not only
have displays of home made goods, but
have machinery in complete working
order and show the actual work of differ
ent articles. The railroads give rates
of half fare within 100 miles of Omaha,
good for two days.
The following item is from the David
City Press: "There were about 250
delegates in attendance at the A. P. A.
state convention held at Columbus last
week. J. S. Hatfield of Columbus was
elected state president. He is a miller
in the employ of Jaeggi & Schupbach of
that place, the latter member of which
firm is mayor of Columbus ; Eev. Wor
ley, a Methodist minister of Albion, was
elected chaplain; J. B. Ragan of Sidney,
vice president; W. O. Warswick of Be
atrice, secretary. It is stated that Hat
field believes in making the workings of
the organization public, or as much so
as any other secret organization can lie,
and making public the declaration of
principles of the order."
The following clipping will show how
the brave Mrs. Lease, of Kansas oratori
cal fame, created a sensation the other
day: "She is president of the state
board of charities. There are five mem
bers, three populists and two republi
cans. A vote was taken for superin
tendent of the Soldiers' Orphan's home.
The two republicans voted for Faulkner,
the present incumbent, and the popu
lists for a new man. Mrs. Lease, having
the casting vote, arose and declared that
Faulkner would never be put out by her
vote. "He was a member of the famous
'buck-tail' regiment," she said, "and
Btood beside and cared for my two
brothers, who died on the battlefield."
The populists roundly abused Mrs.
Lease for the act.
We had not yet got all the particulars
of the contest from this representative
. district, in which, it is our presen un-
. 'derstanding, that there was really no
contest at all, virtually no expenses, and
;yet there was two hundred dollars ap
propriated for the contest. Wo have
' .. not yet heard that Representative Irwin
"covered the money back into the treas-
- ury, or any part of it The State Jour
. nal says that "no man in the legislature
- showed more anxiety for impeaching
somebody than W. J. Irwin, the Platte
'county apostle of fiat and reform, and he
walked off with two hundred dollars of
' unearned swag with as much grace as
' though he had earned it and it was
soBaething that belonged to him." This
...is the language of Mr. Bixby, doubtless,
fomerly the editor of the Platte County
- Argus of -thWoity, devoted during a part
of thetisoe he was here, to the advocacy
of reform, after a loose-jointed method.
" For omr part, we yet -hope to see friend
. 'irwir pay all just expenses of the con-
and turn the remainder back where
It hslogs,aBdwe believe be will do this. 1
The President Want a Best.
President Cleveland khas of necessity
been called upon to issue the following
bulletin, and it is to be hoped that' he.
will be much relieved thereby":-
"It has become apparent after two
months' experience that the rules here
tofore promulgated regulating interviews
with the president have wholly failed in
their operation. The time which under
those rules was set apart for the recep
tion of senators and representatives has
been almost entirely spent in listening
to applications for office, which have
been bewildering in volume, perplexing
and exhausting -in their iteration and
impossible of remembrance. A due re
gard for public duty, which must be
neglected if present conditions continue,
and an observance for limitations placed
upon human endurance oblige me to
decline from and after this date all per
sonal interviews with those seeking
appointment to office, except as I, on my
own motion, may especially invite mem.
The same considerations make it impos
sible for mo to receive thoso who merely
desire to pay their respects except on
the days and during the hours especially
designed for that purpose.
"I earnestly request senators and rep
resentatives to aid me in securing for
thflm uninterrupted interviews by de
clining to introduce their constituents
and friends when visiting the executive
mansion during the hours designated
for their reception. Applications for
office will only prejudice their prospects
by repeated importunity and by remain
ing at Washington to await results."
LETTEK FKOM CHICAGO.
A Trip Over the Chicago, Milwaukee d. St.
Panl K. R.-"Bufalo Bill's" Wild West
Show A Glimpse at the Exposition, Etc.
Chicago, May 14, 1893.
Dear Journal: When I took my de
parture from Columbus I promised you
an occasional letter from the scene of
the world's greatest fair. In so doing
will here remark that I knew not where
of I spoke. Write letters amid all this
turmoil and tumult! No, never. I just
drop this line to say a few words in re
gard to the route I took coming here,
give my friend Cody's show a deserving
send-off and a very few words in regard
to the fair.
People in our neighborhood have be
come so accustomed to going east by
one of the older roads out of Omaha that
they scarcely ever give another route a
thought. Wish to say that I came to
Chicago over the
CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE & ST. TAUL
road, and am vory glad of it. It is one
of the oldest and best equipped roads
out of Omaha, but the Omaha extension
is one of the latest aspirants for Mis
souri river business. Its finely equipped
trains now run over the bridge, traverse
the best agricultural portion of Iowa
and make the quickest time to Chicago,
and cars are ierfect palaces of luxury.
When you como to Chicago try this ex
cellent road, and I promise you will
never regret it.
"BUFFALO BILL'S" WILD WEST
show, a Nebraska product, have their
grounds just opposite the Exposition,
containing some fifteen acres enclosed
with a seating capacity for 18,000. The
opening day was on the 2Gth ult., and
such a crowd! The management were
compelled to quit selling tickets, and
turned thousands away who were unable
to find even standing room within the
gates. This show is much larger than
ever before, giving employment to some
450 persons, and although the expense
of running such an institution is great,
if the opening day was any criterion,
they will reap a rich harvest, financially,
as most every one visiting the fair are
sure to want to see this novel entertain
ment. W. F. Cody, one of tho proprie
tors, and whom it is well known always
"stands nj" gloriously for the section of
country which ho represents, is already
taking a lively interest in tho celebra
tion of Nebraska Day at the fair, June
8, and will do more than his share to
make it the banner day of the Exposi
tion. Keep an eye on Nebraska Day.
JACKSON TARK.
A rido of three miles hanging on the
outside of a street car will bring you to
the fair grounds, but you will be too
late to see the Duke of Veragua or Pres
ident Cleveland, for they have seen and
been seen, and have retired from the
Columbian field of colossal glory to fields
less sparkling, but you can see the
grandest and most grotesque combina
tion of human beings, beings not human;
sights of dazzling splendor and sights
that are not splendid to behold, mingled
with curiosities from every conceivable
corner of the globe, and every patented
device both of usefulness and for pleas
ure, and thousands and thousands of
things which I could not enumerate in
the whole four pages of The Journal
were I so minded. But come, and
come soon, so that you can make a sec
ond trip before the great fair closes.
And, I admonish you, do not forget the
creat Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul
road. It will carry you safely, swiftly
and surely to the promised land.
I was pleased the other day to greet
Senator J. E. North who stopped over a
few hours on his return home to Colum
bus from a trip -to Washington City.
I hear that W. B. Backus, formerly of
your city, was "doing" tho fair recently,
but did not get to see him.
George Lehman, another gritty Co
lumbus man, is here and giving personal
attention to his hotel which is located
conveniently near the fair grounds, and
for his enterprise I should liko to hear
of his making a barrel of money.
Tho woather hero so far this spring
has been simply horrible, and everybody
is wishing for a change for the better.
Cymbals.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
School Superintendent.
In a short time the school board will
determine whether they will continue
the present incumbent or not. The
Journal has not been unmindful of its
full duty to this community in strenu
ously insisting upon a change, at and
near the time when such changes are
usually mado. Thoso who imagine that
wo have any personal, private reason in
this matter are much mistaken. Every
parent, every citizen, knowing what we
do, ought to feel the same way.
Columbus needs, sadly needs, a super
intendent whose influence upon pupils
and teachers will be wholesome, and for
good instead of evil; one whose charac
ter will command the respect, nay the
admiration of all; one whose truthful
ness is just as unquestioned as his
learning
. We believe in public schools, but not
for private and individual benefits mere
ly; we believe in superintendents who
rely upon honest work, faithfully per
formed in the best iaterest of the com
munity, looking to the up-building of
'good character in teacher and pupil, as
the standard of their worth; we believe
in superintendents who deal justly,
kindly, firmly and truthfully with teach
ers and school board alike; we believe in
superintendents who are enthusiastic in
their business, allowing the duties of
the position to absorb at least all the
hours of the school day, and who, by
their example, their honest zeal for
learning, give those under their care an
impetus in the better life.
The .present incumbent has been here
four years, and is now closing a three
years' contract This last fact was given
as a reason for retaining him last year,
when at the same time, we are informed
that he was -an applicant for the Fre
mont schools, but failed of election.
Columbus is under no further obligation
to Supt Scott The board is under no
obligation to him that it should continue
him another year, when they know what
wanner of man he is. There are plenty
of good men to select from, and why
hesitate when so much is at stake for
this community? . ,

Messrs. S. A. & G. B. McFarland one
day last week purchased the Home Res
taurant on Twelfth street This popu
lar resort for replenishing the inner man
has been receiving a well merited pat
ronage, and the McFarland Bros, seeing
an opportunity for a good business
strike purchased the good will and stock
in hand of the establishment
The restaurant will be painted inside
and out newly and neatly papered, and
sand and soap used without stint until
the entire interior will closely resemble
in neatness a souvenir dollar. The new
firm enters the restaurant business with
the firm intention of catering to the
wants of a hungry public, and will let no
opportunity escape to meet the tastes of
the people in a homelike manner. The
ample lunch counter will at all times be
supplied with such edibles as the market
affords, gotten up in a manner and
served in a style creditable to more pre
tentious eating houses. Train men
will find this a convenient and desirable
place to eat, and their trade is respect
fully solicited. Independent of the
ample lunch counter dining tables have
been tastefully arranged on the west
side of the room, and ladies and gentle
men will receive the same attention they
would get at one of the hotels. This
firm is going to considerable expense in
fitting up a nice restaurant and they
ask a liberal patronage from the public,
promising value received for every
penny spent in their house.
Knight Templar Installation ef (Meets.
On Thursday evening last Qethsemane
Commandery No. 21, Knight Templars,
at their hall, publicly installed the fol
lowing officers, the attending ceremonies
being rather more elaborate than usual
upon such occasions : R H. Henry, .

Thomas Wilson, W.; W. B. Backus, C.
At the conduakmof the installation
exerciMi Sir Kugfat MaikJejota dattr-
teed an appropriate and instructive ad
dress on Knight Templarism, and pre
anted Sir Ksitht.R. H. Henry, eminent
commander, with a gold cross, studded
with twelve diamonds, emblematical of
his office and the twelve apostles. The
Evolution of the- Sword was recited by
Robert E. French, after which the large
arty in attendance adjourned to the
banquet room and did ample justice to
an excellent spread.
Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Chambers and Mrs.
Boston favored those present with some
excellent vocal music .-'Sir Knights
1 Needham of Albion, Everell of Leigh
and Hon. 3. E. North delivered -short ad
dresses. The attendance was large and
all present enjoyed themselves to their
fullest extent
Among those present from a distance
were Sir Knights Henry Gibbon and R.
E. French of Kearney; W. B. Thompson

Tho Contest Fees.
Since writing a paragraph which ap
pears elsewhere in today's JoubnaTj, an
article has been published in the Argus,
under the above heading, and over the
signature of W. J. Irwin, which pur
ports to explain how it is that Repre
sentative Irwin was entitled to get from
the state treasury $200 as contest fees
and expenses. The explanation does
not explain, however. He says he paid
his attorneys $75; now what about the
other $125? The Journal insists that
if $75 was all the expense, that Mr.
Irwin will cover back the remaining $125
into the treasury. Does Mr. Irwin say
he will not? If he says he will keep the
whole of it, on what theory will he?
W. A. McAllister was the attorney on
the other side. He tells us that on the
day and at the hour set for hearing
before Judge Hensley in this city, he
(McAllister), did appear and take testi
mony, that of County Clerk G. W. Phil
lips, in this case; that Mr. Irwin was
not there; that Mr. Reeder (whom Irwin
now names as one of his attorneys) was
in the room and when asked the ques
tion by McAllister, "Are you going to
appear for Irwin?" He replied, "Irwin
hasn't shown up, and I don't propose
to volunteer my services." At Fuller
ton, the testimony of County Clerk
Eyman was taken by McAllister before
Notary Thompson.
Now in this so-called answer it is said:
"On the day set for taking depositions
in Columbus I was there with my at
torneys ready to defend my rights, but
for some reason the other side failed to
take any testimony It was
no fault of mine that they did not take
any testimony, etc."
These two things don't agree, and we
shall not believe that Irwin wrote this
so-called defense until we have to do so.
We insist that those who are criticising
Representative Irwin as being dishonest
should wait until he has had an oppor
tunity to cover the money back iuto the
treasury.

been in successful operation for several
years, and gives, a glowing account of
what it has done for that city. Before
the canal was built Arkansas City had a
population of 1,600, it now has 10,000,
attributed directly to tne benefits ac
crued from cheap motive power. They
have one flour mill with a capacity of
1,000 barrels a day, a furniture factory,
a matrass factory and several smaller in
dustries, and power enough left to court
the coming of a half dozen other man-

Hot Springs, South Dakota, is almost
as famous for its beautiful, healthful
situation and its pure, rest-laden air as
for the remarkable properties of its
thermal waters.
Nestling cosily in a lovely valley and
completely girt about by a circling
range of protecting hills, the place is a
veritable Mecca for health and pleasure
seekers. It combines, to an astonishing
degree, the most desirable features of a
high' class sanitarium with those of a
charming pleasure resort.
For the strong are superb drives ; in
teresting walks ; out-door amusements ;
everything, in fact, that makes tho stea
dy hand still steadier and the bright
eye still brighter. For the weak are tho
most valuable, strengthening and re
juvenating waters in America waters
which are marvelously beneficial to suf
ferers from rheumatism, sciatica, dys
pepsia and scores of similar distressing
ailments.
The hotels ? Hot Springs hotels are
larger, better, more comfortable than
those of any other western resort. And
its plunge bath and bath houses are
