Edwin Booth died in New fork Tues day morning last. An $8,000,000 mortgage was filed by the whisky trust at Omaha Wednesday. Since January 1, 867,667,129 in gold has been shipped abroad from this coun try. m The president has at last decided to call an extra session of congress in Sep tember. Abthur M. Edwards of Nebraska, is one of the graduates at the U. S. mili tary academy at Wet Point. Thebe were over 700 delegates in at tendance upon the Iowa Masonic Grand lodge at Davenport last week. Geobq T. ANQEtii of Boston offers 9100 in gold as a prize to the person who does the most to prevent the cow boy race on the 25th from Chadron to Chicago. The Cudahy Packing company. South Omaha, on Tuesday last gave an order to one firm in Wales for 8150,000 worth of tin, the largest order for tin ever giren one firm in the west. Near Tyrone, Pa., May 29th, Main's circus train got beyond the control of the trainmen and ran down the moun tain at a fearful rate, completely wreck ing the train, killing six men and wound ing many others. The 26th annual session of the Ne braska state Sunday school association was in session at Fairbury last week. The great feature of the occasion was an address on Sunday school work by Wm. R Reynolds of Peoria, 111., said to le full of wisdom, wit and originality. If there are "men who claim to be way up socially, politically and financially," "a clique' of republicans who make no bones of roundly denouncing the con servative course of The Journal," as the Argus says, who wish to publish a republican paper in Columbus, we would suggest that if they wish to gratify a laudable ambition, why not buy The Journal plant and take a different shoot in running a newspaper from what the other three anti-JouBNAL sheets that now quietly rest beneath the sod took in trying to supplant "Lincoln republi canism with Dorganism and the like." So long, however, as the present man agement holds, we shall not sell our kind of republicanism for any other kind. The Ohio state convention on Friday did the very sensible thing of renomi nating Gov. McKinley by acclamation, and there is but little doubt in the minds of Nebraska Republicans that he will be "elected by acclamation." The governor paid a glowing tribute to the outgoing administration in his speech accepting the nomination, cautioned his friends that this year the state of Ohio would be an important wedge in the fall cam paign, and that success could only be attained by active, energetic and con certed work on the part of the Republi cans. Following is the ticket: For Governor, William McKinley; for lieut enant governor, Andrew S. Harris; for state treasurer, William T. Cope; for attorney general, John K. Richards; for supreme judge, Joseph P. Bradberry; for member of the board of public works, Frank J. McCulloch; for food and dairy commissioner, Dr. F. B. McNeill. "Mb. William McKinley does not go fiohing on Decoration day," ears the Indianapolis Jour nal. No, he goes demagoging, which is more objectionable New York World. The "demagoging" which the World charges to Governor McKinley and to which it objects was his Decoration day address at Indianapolis and in which he said: These volunteers did not enter the service with the hope of spoils, with the hope ot patronage, with the expectation of winning fame and applause, or with the hope of being pensioned by the na tion for which they fought. No; they entered the service only with the thought of preserving the sacred ness and unity of this nation to mankind. There is a sentiment abroad in this land that this gloriouB army was gotten to gether for the sole purpose of securing pensions. I have no patience with that sentiment. There is no soldier in my audience, there is no reputable member of the G. A. R. in this broad land who entered the army with hope of pension and spoils. The volunteer and the man who was placed in command of him are one. The private soldier wore no insig nia of rank on the outside of his blue coat, but he carried the heart of a hero underneath it. There were a million men in the field at the close of the war, and the highest tribute that can be paid them is that they came back to their homes and settled down into the quiet walks of life. There are not many men in the north who would call this "demagoging," and there are brave old ex-Confederates like General Gordon who have used stronger language regarding the veterans who fought against the south. But it suits a desaagogue like the editor of the New York World to regard every other man as insincere as himself, and to assume that there is but one ambition worthy of mankind. "No one expects the editor of the World to commend McKinley's "demagoging" because that would indi cate this editor had learned to appreci ate principle. Chicago Inter Ocean, txnxoata..- wn airBauBmaa. NORTH APPOINTED Internal Keveuuc Collector to Snrceed John L. Peters. To appoint or not to appoint J. E. North to the best paying federal office in Nebraska has seemed to be the chief question of the Cleveland administra tion with reference to Nebraska politi cians for some time; it seemed plain that if the appointment should go to a Ne braskan that North had the preference among many aspirants, but latterly it had been conceded that Maratta of Da kota would be appointed, and even Mr. North himself had seemingly given up the race and settled down to business. But politics, like the weather, is some what variable, Mr. North's friends were persistent, and Maratta, having been provided with a consulate, Mr. North becomes John Peters's successor, the latter having resigned Saturday, and Mr. North's appointment made Mon day. The salary is $4,500, with the power of appointment of an office and field force of combined salaries amounting to nearly 50,000. The Journal, although differing from Mr. North politically, congratulates "him heartily upon this nomination; believes he will fill the duties ot the office faith fully and well, and fully meet the ex pectations of the chief executive who makes the appointment, and of the gen eral public who will have business with the office. We may say, in conclusion, that we believe Mr. North owes this appoint ment to the fact that he always sticks to his friends, which naturally results in the other fact, that they always stick to him. A ltailioad Protest. We have before us quite a lengthy and indignant protest issued by Gerge II. Heafford, general passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail way company. As it is of eomewhat general interest at this time, we devote considerable space to its review. To U9, also, most of the points seem to be well taken and deserving notice. The circular has twelve lengthy rea sons why the railroads are in no way connected with or can in any way be held responsible for the somewhat small at tendance upon the fair so far. It asks the Chicago newspapers to answer each of them, and charges the Chicago daily press from the Grat stroke mado in prep aration for the fair with discouraging it in every way by constantly harping upon the general management of the prepara tory work, the weather, etc., seemingly indignant because everything was not run in strict compliance with their dic tation. In fact, the Chicago papers are handled without gloves, and the country papers do not escape the wrath of the writer for publishing extracts from the city papers containing scurrilous reports of incompletness, extortion and ineffi ciency on the part of the World's Fair management. And after all this, Mr. Heafford claims, and which calls forth this long growl, the Chicago papers are attributing to the roads centering in Chicago tho fault of the small attend ance during the opening weeks of the fair. The circular gives many reasons why this is not so, and cites tho enor mous amounts the roads have contribut ed to the fair. Their original subscrip tion was $50,000 in cash and later they subscribed 8100,000 more, and each of the roads have spent from $50,000 to $300,000 for additional equipment for the express purpose of being able to handle the World's Fair business; the difficulty of restoring rat4K after the fair, and many other reasons why they should not be expected to ruinously re duce rates to Chicago. Mr. Heafford concludes his long cir cular as follows: "I will say for the benefit or tho Ex position officials, state commissioners, the newspapers, the citizens of Chicago and the public generally, that tho Ex position is now practically complete and is the greatest aggregation of things beautiful and useful upon which the sun ever shone. That the stories of extor tion within the grounds never had much foundation in fact and that such irregu larities as did exist on the opening day have been removed. That it is entirely possible to get a first-class meal within the grounds for from fifty to seventy-five cents, that tho regular admission fee of fifty cents covers all the exhibits and no man need spend more than this unless he desires to visit the "side shows" in the Midway Plaisance. That tho Co lumbian Guards and other employes are courteous and obliging. That the fa cilities for taking care of enormous masses of people are the liest ever cre ated and that the weakest person need have no fear of getting into a crowd. There is no prospect of railway fares for every day travel being materially re duced below the present agreed excur sion rates. During the latter half of June and all of July, August, Septem ber and October our country friends will fill all of the coaches and sleeping cars of all of the western roads whose lines operate within tho thickly settled states lying within a radius of from live hundred to seven hundred miles of Chi cago. Beyond thi3 western radius it might be well to consider that there are few people who can afford to come to Chicago at any rate of fare added to the cost of a week's entertainment in this city, but if all of the adult male population of the far off western states should visit the fair the attendance would not, in the aggregate, much more than equal one open Sunday's paid ad missions from Chicago alone. The rail way fare is the smallest portion of the total expense to be incurred. The peo ple are coming regardless of railway rates, regardless of untruthful state ments as to the fair not being ready for inspection, and they will bo here in crowds within the next three weeks and thereafter to enjoy the grandest and most complete exposition the world has ever known or ever will know; other wise I am no prophet." The World's Fair. The manufacturers and Liberal Arts Building is the most gigantic structure the world ever saw. It's a third of a mile long, a seventh of a mile wide, and has a rloor space of forty-fonr acres. All the armies that fought in the civil war could be marshalled within its walls. If yon intend visiting the great Expo sition (and you can't afford not to) pur chase your ticket to Chicago and return via the Burlington route. Ask the local agent for full information. Excursion rates every day. World's Fair Travelers Will Have It. The public demand through service when traveling. It is old-fashioned to "Change Cars." On the through solid vestibuled trains of the Chicago, Union Pacific & North Western Line from or to Chicago, Omaha and intermediate points there is no change. This is the finest and fastest service between the points named. " Oat of Sight. The traveling public are now fully alive to the fact that the Chicago, Union Pacific & North Western Line offers the very best accommodations to the public from and to Chicago, Omaha and inter mediate points, not only during the World's Fair, but all the year round.

A special meeting was held Friday evening, all members being present. The reading of the minutes of last meeting was dispensed with. Reports of committees being in order, the committee to whom had been re ferred the bids for iron tubing, reported that they had examined the bids care fully and found that of S. C. & C. C. Gray the lowest, but that the city attor ney had informed them that the statute prohibits the letting of any contract to any member of tho council. "If such is the case," proceeded the report, "we recommend that the bid of Dussell & Son be accepted as being the next low est bid for furnishing material and labor." Newman move! that the report of the reiMirtof the committee be adopted, that Dussell & Son's bid be accepted, and the city attorney directed to draft con tract. Water Commissioner Schroeder made a few remarks in regard to the council purchasing the material and employing Dussell & Son to do the work, arguing that the city would thus get better material and save 8100. Councilman Spoerry stated that the committee had figured the prices very closely, and he thought that Dussell & Son were good and responsible for the entire contract, and that the city's in terests would be well looked after. Councilman Gray remarked that they had placed a bid with a view to having the city get the material at reasonable prices; that he had known of the pro vision of law with reference tocontracts, but that the attorney last year had held that it did not refer to material fur nished the city. He would withdraw the bid if there was any question in re gard to it. A vote being taken there was no oppo sition. The committee on judiciary, to whom the matter had been referred, reported recommending that C. A. Woosley, esq., be authorized to revise the city ordi nances preparatory to printing them in pamphlet form. Newman of the com mittee stated he had said it would be worth $75 to $125, according to the time occupied in preparation. On the ques tion of the adoption of the report of the committee, Gray moved an amendment that the cost of the work is not to ex ceed $125, which was accepted, incor porated in the report of the committee, and the report unanimously adopted. Police Judge Hudson's report was found correct by the committee and placed on tile. Committee on printing, reporting on a bill of D. F. Davis for 208 circulars $3.50; 20 squares, financial statement $20; and 10 lines locals 81, recommended a cut of $12 on the second item on the ground that Mr. Davis had proffered by bid to do similar work this year for 40 cents a square, and in this bill had charged $1.00. Gray moved the adoption of the re port of the committee and that a war rant be ordered drawn on the special license fund. Welch inquired if the work had been done under a contract to do it for a specified sum. The answer was that there was no contract. The motion was adopted. The committee on printing recom mended that the bid of M. K. Turner & Co., being the lowest and best, for doing the city printing, be adopted. On mo tion of Gray the report was adopted. The chief of police having requested a supply of balls and chains, the commit tee on police were authorized to pur chase them. Adjourned until next Friday evening. BOUNCE THE GROWLER. Colambas Will More With the Urowiag Times. There are two things that prompt the writing of this item. First, listeuing to the grumblings of a citizen in regard to hard timos, and sec ond, the reading of Mr. Reed's most excellent letter. The grumbler made the assertion that Columbus had reached its zenith and henceforth would be as im movable as regards advancement as the highest cliffs of the Rocky mountains. He argued that the coming of the B. & M. road nine years ago was a wedge in the future prosperity of Columbus; that had not that important arm ot this city's success been built, Columbus would have been a better city today; he stated any effort to build the canal would be futile and of no avail. And this by a citizen of ten years' standing, so foolishly blind as to refuse to ac knowledge the great advancement made in that time. Such men are to be pitied, and when the prospective water power improvement shall have been made, which we honestly believe is only a matter of time, such will awaken to a realization of the fact that deeds and not hollow grumbling, build towns and cities, and make citizens prosperous aud progressive. Second, as Mr. Reed says, the progress made by the citizens of Platte county in the very short period since the days of dug-outs and the old draw wells, ia won derful, progress in farming from a. few acres of sod corn to magnificent fields of golden grain, and yet many of these men who toiled and shifted in that early day have scarcely passed the meridian of life. They toiled on and worried not, and their lands grew in value from a few dollars an acre up to among the thirties, forties, fifties, and have not yet reached their limit. Mr. Reed tells us that the utilization of the limpid waters of the Loup has loug been firmly fixed upon his mind as a possibility of no distant period, and the only question now is, Is the opportunity ripe? Are we prepared for so important an undertaking? It is not a question as to the needs and neces sities; that matter is a fact, not a theory. It but remains with our citizens to act, and act quickly and cautiously. Sub scribe funds for an exact survey and working plan so that a safe estimate of the cost of the undertaking can be made; formulate plans by which an in terest will be awakened by not only local capitalists but by the holders of vast amounts of eastern idle capital seeking safe investment, aud a begin ning will be made, the end of which will as surely be the building St the finest water power in the west as it is that that power will be utilized to its fullest ex tent, if built. The inestimable benefits, the feasibili ty, the quick and tenfold return for money and labor invested, should be so apparent to every citizen of Columbus the possessor of a dollar's worth of prop erty, tlrat the one great effort of his life should be put forth in every direction that will give encouragement to this great enterprise. Act, and act with a promptness that will assure success. Platte Center Items. Jake Greisen of Columbus was in town Monday. C. C. Carrig's family are among those afflicted with measles.

A man representing himself to be a preacher stops with a well-to-do farmer. Tho farmer is inter ested iu religious matters and he and his guest discuss theology until a late hour. Finally a runaway couple arrive and want the services of a justice or a clergyman and state that they are strangers and ask tho farmer if he can not direct them to a justice or a clergy man. During the talk the farmer re members his clerical friend and asks the couple in, introduces them to the minister, who soon makes the two hus band and wife. A marriage license is then produced and the farmer and his wife sign it as witnesses. In due time the farmer gets word from the bank that his note is held for S1.S03. It soon dawns upon the mind of the farmer that he has signed a note instead of a mar riage license. The best rule for farmers to adopt is to attach their names to no paper presented by strangers, and to sign no paper without carefully read ing it. Letter List.
