A besoltjtion was adopted by the
People's Ohio state convention at Co
lumbus July 5, declaring Cleveland a
traitor, as a representative of the Brit

impeachment.
Lincoln also had trouble about the
election of teachers, the new board
coming to the conclusion that "its pre
rogative had been tampered with" in
their selecting teachers beyond their
own term of office.
Mrs. Ed. Johnson of West Point was
instantly killed by lightning on the
morning of the Fourth. The husband
was paralyzed, and crawled one-half
mile to his father's place to notify them.
The woman's body was strewn in all di
rections. Steel barrels are now made in Eng

leum, and are a success. They are made
of light steel, are made in halves by
means of compression in a mold when
hot; afterward they are welded together
by electricity.
Am. over the great state of Illinois
the orators on the Fourth gave Gov

his due. It is said that the people re

unmistakably what they think of the
friend of anarchy.
Groveb had better be carefnl about
sailing away into the fog and the gloom

the free silver men will be claiming that
he has gone outside the three mile limit
and is therefore liable to impeachment.
Lincoln Journal.
On the first page of today's Journal
will be found particulars of a horrid
crime committed in Kentucky. A negro
named Miller was arrested, lynched by
hanging, and his body burned, but it
since appears that he could not have
been the guilty man. He died protest
ing his entire innocence.
The collapse of a Texas land company
has caught several Omaha ieople. It
concerns a suburb of Houston, called
Houston Heights, 1,700 acres of land.
Over $900,000 has been expended, and it
is stated that the assets are considerably
in excess of $1,000,000. The creditors
are nearly all stockholders.
F."B. Tiffany, formerly judge of the
district court of this district, was arrest

Seven miles north of Rodgers Thurs
day, at 8 p. m., a little cyclone swooped
down at the farm of Chris. Miller, in
juring all the family except the youn
gest child, two ot them fatally. Miller's
dwelling and barn were destroyed and
outbuildings wrecked. Four miles
north of this at John Arps, the wind
wrecked a large frame barn, but doing
no other damage.
A minister of Helena, Montana, Rev.
J. W. Hill, declares that he has authen

designed for the purpose of buying a
majority of the next house of congress
to secure fixed rights to their present
location by gaining statehood.
One of Saalbury's late cartoons in the

Interest in the Horse Creek murder
recently revived by a letter from
Wyoming to the county clerk saying that

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
Mr. Cleveland and his party have the
opportunity of a lifetime. It will be re
membered that last year, July 27, Rep
resentative Hopkins, a republican mem
ber of congress from Penn., brought a
1 resolution before the house to ascertain
what steps had been taken to inquire
into the affairs of the American Sugar
Befitting company. Mr. Hopkins stated
at the time that every republican mem
ber of the ways and means committee
would vote to repeal the duty on refined
sugar "if opportunity to vote on it
were given by the majority of the com
mittee." The democratic majority in
the committee, however, failed to afford
the opportunity.
It is just a year since the Sugar Trust
bought up all the competing refineries
in Philadelphia, at a cost of about $20,
000,000. Within the year the price of
refined sugar has been so advanced to
the consumers that money enough has
been made to pay the regular dividends,
also to declare an additional dividend of
10 per cent and to carry over a cash sur
plus of $5,000,000.
This monopoly has further refused to
supply information concerning its affairs
to the superintendent of the census, and
has managed to evade the laws regulat
ing trusts. The democratic party has no
better opportunity to make a record for
itself in the people's interests than by
sDecial legislation aimed directly to
crush and wipe out this giant monopoly
of the United States. Will they do it?
American Economist.
The Eeview of Reviews for July very
fitly calls attention to our entrance on a
new age the age of electricity in its
three absorbing articles on the newest
marvels and the even more incredible
things to be expected. The great elec
trical exhibit at the World's Fair is do
scribed by Mr. J. R. Cravath. This
paper is followed by two more under the
title "Two Giants of the Electric Age."
Mr. C. D. Lanier tells of the personality
and sketches the picturesque career of
Thomas A. Edison. The interview with
Mr. Edison presents fully the great in
ventor's views of the further triumphs
in electrical science that are about to
come to us. A striking and picturesque
contrast to the Edison article is Mr. J.
Munro's character sketch on Sir William
Thomson, Lord Kelvin. Mr. Munro tells
how Lord Kelvin made the Atlantic
cable possible and how he invented the
best mariner's compass; and the person
ality of the great Scotch professor is a
theme of no less absorbing interest than
his wonderful achievements in science.
All these articles are profusely illustra
ted with portraits and pictures.
Arguments are coming along every
day for the government ownership of
railroads. Whenever any class of in
dustries unjustly dominates and dictates
the business of the country,
all the people, represented in its gov
ernment, should call a halt and rectify
matters. Government ownership is the
only solid solution of all the railroad
problems; it is bound to come, and may
not le so very far ahead. Tun Journal
believes that that and many other prob
lems of the republic are to be Bellied by
the intelligent working men's organiza
tions, just so soon as the force of their
votes can be massed upon given propo
sitions, one after another. The Ameri
can people should work on the principle
of a general average. Let the great
middle class, representing in themselves
the average citizen, see to it that the
dominance of mere wealth ceases to
dictate the policies of our administra
tions, then there will be no fear of the
communist and the anarchist. Justice
is the only sound basis for civil com
munities. In an interview lately, Col. Robert G.
Ingersoll has given his views on the sil
ver question, as connected with the
present situation. He says: "This is a
bankers' panic. The bankers have been
predicting a panic for years and have
done all they could to fulfill their pre
dictions. They tell us that the Sherman
law has done all the damage and they
point to the present price of silver as
one of the results of the Sherman law.
Certainly silver did not fall in price be
cause the Sherman bill made a market
for 4,500,000 ounces a month. You
cannot put down prices by buying.
Silver has fallen because it was demone
tized. The value of a thing depends
somewhat upon its uses, and the main
use of silver has been destroyed. Sup
pose gold had been demonetized instead
of silver, what wonld gold be worth?"
The Colonel gives it as his opinion that
the Sherman bill cannot be repealed
unless something better is substituted
for it.
M
The ownership of railroads by private
corporations, instead of by the govern
ment, is roughly estimated to cost the
people directly the sum of six hundred
millions of dollars annually, which
would pay the national debt in less than
three years, and must greatly exceed
the state taxes or all the states in ag
gregate; or would build the Nicaraugua
canal twice over. The control of a pub
lic need by private persons and corpora
tions is one root of the mortgage
trouble. Ulysses Dispatch.
Unless the people of western Kansas
receive aid in the very near future that
entire section will be practically depop
ulated. The county commissioners of
Wichita, Lane, Scott, Greely and other
counties met at Leoti and issued a call
for a convention at some central point,
at which an appeal is to be made to the
governor to immediately call the legisla
ture together to appropriate funds for
provisions, feed, and seed wheat. So
says a telegram from Topeka.
In an address to a G. A. R. at Chicago
recently, Fred Douglass dwelt on his
earlier days as a slave, a fugitive slave,
and an emancipated slave. He said that
there was no negro problem. The negro
is only human. When he is hungry he
eats; when he is thirsty he drinks. It is
a natural problem, not a negro problem.
The problem is: Do the American peo-
pie mean what they say in the twelfth
amendment and in the thirteenth, four
teenth, and fifteenth.
Let congress do something to increase
the volume of our currency and promise
a way for getting it into the hands of
the people. The single gold, standard
will not be accepted by the people. The
government must provide us money ev
ery dollar of which shall be as good as
any dollar of it The people are strong
enough and are growing to be wise
enough to form a government in which
lrthey will have implicit confidence.
Waaainstos Letter.
I From oar regular correspondent.
Republicans are as 'a rule glad that
the extra session has at last been called.
They have from the first been of the
opinion that the sooner the democratic
congress got together the better it wonld
be for the country, as the worst possible
legislation would not be any more dis
astrous than the dread and uncertainty
of coming legislation which has perva
ded business circles from the first day
of the present administration, and with
congress in session public opinion will
have an opportunity to at least try to
influence legislation.
There is a leaven of common sense at
work among the democratic congress
men on the tariff question that later on
may produce good results. One of them,
who because he is not ready at this time
to openly oppose the leaders of his
party forbids the use of his name, said
to me: "I shall gladly vote for the re
peal of the Sherman silver law, because
I have always been opposed to it, but I
do not consider it the principal cause of
our financial troubles. The fear of dis
turbances in the tariff has had much
more to do with it, and' I believe that if
Mr. Cleveland would publicly state his
intention to veto any tariff bill which
cuts the present rates sufficiently to in
jure any American industry that with
in sixty days confidence would be
completely restored and the country
again prosperous." While it isn't cer
tain that he will do so, there is a con
tingency in which this congressman will
publicly state these views on the floor
of the house.
It is announced that the administra
tion is determined that members of the
Metropolitan police of this city who are
drawing pension shall either give up
their pension or their positions as po
licemen. It has not yet, however, de
termined that the democratic member
of the cabinet, the democratic senators
and the democratic representatives who
are drawing pensions shall give up their
pensions or their offices. The pensiou
pretensions of this administration are in
line with its numerous other pretensions.
The discoveries of our times in the
realm of science and the arts are won
derful. Now comes Dr. Wm. A. Ham
mond, exploring along the same line as
Brown-Sequard with a substance of his
own preparation, which he claims to be
a heart tonic of unusual strength besides
a diuretic, and a singular medicine for
affecting the blood so as to contend
against the ravages of approaching age.
The preparation is called "cardine," and
is prepared by washing the finely-minced
heart of the ox with boric acid solution,
and then submitting it to the action of
glycerine, boric acid and alcohol.
Captain Ottis and Dr. W. J. Hamil
ton, who left Denver April 2 in a twenty
two foot boat bound for the World's
Fair, arrived at Kansas City Friday.
They went down the South Platte river
to the North Platte and down the latter
to the Missouri river at Plattsmouth,
Neb. At St. Louis they will exchange
tLeir ilat-boat for a sixteen-foot skiff
and reach Chicago by the Mississippi,
and Illinois rivers and Hennepin canal.
They expect to reach Chicago within six
weeks. Chicago Blade.
A little steam yacht, Niobe, arrived
in Chicago the other day after a cruise
of 6,000 miles; she is 38 feet long, and
run by keroseno, and carried five men
with all necessary equipments. The
men are sight-seeking, travel leisurely,
take in the country along the route, as
they stop, on their bicycles. The men
say they have had a very enjoyable trip
cruising round in the smaller lakes of
Louisiana during last winter, starting
northward in May.

We have space only for mere mention
of proceedings Monday evening, in the
very briefest manner.
The levy decided upon was seven mills
for general fund and three for sinking
fund.
On election of Superintendent, Scott
received five votes, all the members pres
ent except Schupbach. Messrs. Brittel
and Leavy, Mrs. C. A. Scott, Misses Ida
and Clara Martin, Chattie Rice, Alica-
Matthews, Anna Hohen, Kate Taylor,
Hattie Berger and Miss Spencer were
selected as teachers, presumably for the
positions formerly held by them.
The selection of a principal for the
high school was postponed.
There was quite a discussion over the
selection of a principal ' for the Third
ward school. The vote was not taken by
a call of the board, so we are unable to
give the vote of each member. First
ballot, Weaver 3, Megath 2, Gregory 1;
second ballot, Wc.svcr 4, Megath 2. The
successful applicant is a resident of
Morrison, 111., and when there arose a
question whether he would accept the
wages, Sup't Scott said he would be
cause he had told him so.
Miss R. Ward of David City and Miss
Julia Henry of Orange City, Iowa, were
selected as primary teachers, in each
case the ballot standing five for, to one
for another applicant.
The committee on buildings and
grounds was authorized to receive bids,

George Taylor's bill for taking the
school census was allowed, and warrant
ordered drawn, $52.28, being four cents
for each child of school age. 1307.
Board adjourned subject to call of
president.
City Council.
Regular meeting, July 7, all present.
W. A. McAllister, secretary of the Co
lumbus Canal and Power company,
presented a proposition in relation to
the construction of the canal, etc., and
on motion the proposition was annexed
to the petition now on file with the
clerk.
On motion of Councilman Gray, the
council by a unanimous vote, instructed
the city attorney to prepare a uroposi
tion to submit to the voters of the city,
to issue the coupon bonds ot the city to
the amount of $6,000 to aid the Colum
bus Canal and Power company in the
construction of a canal, etc.
The proposition, as submitted by the
Power company is nearly the same as
contained in their open letter: bonds to
amount of $6,000, in denominations of
$500 each, dated August 1, 1894, (5 per
ceut interest, payable annually; due and
payable in twenty years from date, re
deemable at any time after ten years;
the company agreeing to construct and
operate a canal to be not less than 75
feet in width and of sufficient depth to
furnish a power equalling 3,000 horse
power; to transmit by electrical appli
ances and furnish Baid power at a uni
form rate to customers therefor, residiug
within and about the corporate limits of
the city; the canal and power house to
be completed on or before April 1, 1895,
and on the completion of the canal and
power house, the bonds to be issued,
registered and delivered to the company.
McAllister, on behalf of the company,
thanked the mayor and city council for
their action.
The reports of the street commission
er, chief of police and police judge were
referred to the proper committees.
The report of the city attorney was
read and refers to section 3711 of the
consolidated statutes of 1891, and upon
which he remarks: "All school funds,
including liquor license moneys, should
be held by the city treasurer until
drawn by the school board by a warrant
regularly drawn upon the city treas
urer." The attorney also gave it as his opin
ion that the statutes authorize the city
to vote bonds for the purpose of con
structing a canal for water power, at the
city of Columbus. He added, however,
that this is subject to any law that may
have passed the last winter, which is not
yet published.
Time was given to communicate with
the secretary of state.
The city attorney also gave it as his
opinion that as the city water bonds "do
not draw interest to exceed seven per
cent, it is quite doubtful if the provis
ions of the statutes authorize the coun
cil to refund the water bonds."
Treas. Niewobner reported amounts

and had two teeth knocked out; he was in the
barn caring for the horses, where his father
found him soon afterwards, lying on his face in
a senseless condition; he is getting better at this
writing.
Several people from this vicinity celebrated
the Fourth at Humphrey. A refreshing shower
of rain the night before added much to the
pleasure of the occasion, as the previous long
spell of dry weather was causing some anxiety
in regard to crops.
Mrs. D. L. Bruen met with an accident Tues
day week which might have proved fatal. One
of the ponies, used by the children to herd with,
was brought to the house, being sick; in a short
time the pony got better and was running loose
about the premises, when all at once Mrs. Bruen
saw him in the corn field back of the house.
Thinking he should not be there she attempted
to drive him off and with a short stick ran after
him btriking him, whereupon he with both feet
kicked her in the mouth breaking eight sound
teeth and bruising her lips and gums considera
bly. Dr. Mason of Humphrey was called and
extracted the broken pieces of teeth. Mrs.
Bruen was unconscious several hours. She is
getting along as well as could be expected, her
mouth healing nicely.
