Frank Mark etole a poor flea-bitten broncho out in Thomas county, which was worth about S1.99, and has just been sentenced to the penitentiary. We commend the remarks of Repre sentative Joa Wheeler of Alabama on the gold and silver question. See the firet page of today's Journal. The estimate of funds necessary to run the city of Beatrice for the coming year is placed at 806,030, and their tax levy has been fixed at 41 mills. "Josiah Allen's Wife" has visited Chicago, and will give the results of her observations in a book entitled, "Sa mantha at the World's Fair." Its early publication is announced. "Rest only found in action" was one of P. T. Barnum's maxims, and it tallies somewhat with a more recent saying, "Rest by doing something different from what you are accustomed to." It is said that Russell Sage shylocked Wall street to the tune of 820,000 a day during the money stringency. He farmed out on call the greater part of $5,000,000 at from 30 to 75 per cent. A Missouri farmer exchanged $5,000 in lawful money for 825,000 of "green goods," adding a good farm to enable him to make the deal. Of course the "ehovers of the queer" never called to claim title to the land. Thursdat morning two distinct shocks of earthquake were felt at Albuquerque, N. M. The under-current came from the west where an extinct volcano exists and it is thought that owing to the torrid weather, the volcano is again in eruption. A lady of Cedar Bluffs, so says the Flail, undertook to make a bank of de posit of her pocket while visiting in Fremont. Some vile wretch abstracted from the bank two promissory notes of $5,000 and 82,500, besides $75 in cash and a railroad ticket. The St. Paul Pioneer Press remarks: "Here's another argument against the price of half a cord of wood and a man to tend the fire, while now it in volves good, hard dollars, to the extent of 50,000 or more." Louis Heimrod was evidently lorn to political nobility. He recently let go of the state oil inspectorship after salting down nearly or quite $6,000, for alxmt a year's service, and now he is one of the federal elect a deputy revenue collec tor under Jim North. -Blair Pilot. A Beatrice bank, not liking the idea of having a receiver appointed to wind up their business, proffered a bond of $100,000 to lie approved by the clerk of the state supreme court, and the bank officials do the closing out. Judge Max well remarked that the idea was a good one. Lane seminary trustees, Cincinnati, Ohio, did not agree with Prof. Henry P. Smith in some suggestions he made as to management, and he thought best to resign. He says it is his intention to rest quietly until the synod and the general assembly can pass upon the heresy case pending against him. The special election has been called in aid of the Canal Power Co., and we pub lish the notice this week. Read it over carefully. Our space reserved for com ment has been used for necessary adver tisements coming in late, and we reserve them for another time. Let us secure the canal, and then make Columbus a manufacturing center of big proportions. At the Miller farm north of Rodgers, where the cyclone struck Wednesday week, a sled with a load of brick on it was lifted from the southwest corner of the house and placed on the east side, a distance of about four rods, with nearly all the bricks left on it; a wooden pump was lifted out of the well and left a few rods east. The new constitution of Kentucky provides that nine jurors out of the twelve may reach a verdict in civil cases. We believe this is a very wise provision, am justice is now many times defeated by the action of one juryman who may possibly have been "fixed" by one or other of the litigants. It is not stretch ing the truth a particle to say that the majority of verdicts now rendered are a compromise forced by mere power of physical endurance against better judg ment. The new way will be watched with considerable interest outside of Kentucky, and if it really proves to be a better way also, other states will fall into line. This talk of lack of confidence has been made to cover a multitude of sins, political and otherwise. In the general acceptance of the term, especially among democrats, the "lack of confidence" is confined entirely with the people. But there is a barometer which shows that the hard times are not brought about because the people have lost confidence in themselves. For the first time since the resumption of specie payment by the republican party United States bonds are quoted as low as 9G. This chows without further explanation that the people lack confidence in the gov ernment and the .democratic adminis fration. Nebraska City Press, BEADY TO SURVEY. Important Step in Country Road Improve ment Aliout to Be Taken. Hamilton S. Wallace of the United States geological survey has been sent from Washington by the interior de partment to make n topographical sur vey of Douglas, Sarpy, Washington and other connties north and west of Omaha, in furtherance of the plans of the asso ciation for improving country roads. The appointment of Mr. Wallace was made by request of Senator Manderson and Congressman Mercer, and he will begin the survey at once. He said to a World-Herald reporter: "I am about to begin a topographical survey of an area that will include Douglas and Sarpy counties, as well as several other counties west and north of here. The field work of the map in question will be done on a scale of two inches to one mile, with a contour in terval of twenty feet. The wagon roads and railroads, as well as houses, will be shown on the final map." The Journal hopes he may extend his survey this far west of Omaha. What a country we shall have when the wagon roads are made what they ought to be and vehicles be run by electricity, as it seems they will be before long! Cheap Property, Dear Money. Ex-congressman Laws (republican), of this state, is very decided in his views of the situation. Certainly, just now is the time for all who know anything about money to tell it for the good of the country: "The purpose of the Sherman law has been wholly nullified since its passage by the authorities at Washington. Ex ecuted in its intent that law would not only have furnished a market annually for 54,000,000 ounces of American silver, but would have added at least that many dollars every year, to the circu lating medium of the country, needed as all agreed to supply the place of na tional bank notes at that time being re tired by the banks at the rate of $2, 000,000 per month. But as construed and executed it has added nothing worth mentioning to the circulating medium and is now being charged with all the evils forced upon the country by the enemies of silver, who are demanding dear money and cheap property. Eng lish capital is immensely interested in the action of the coming congress, and it has stopped the coinage of silver in India to lower the price and discourage the friends of silver in America. Should congress repeal the Sherman law with out any provision for the use of silver as money, one of the greatest and most im portant interests of the west and north west will have been crippled if not ruined. Silver will have been slaugh tered in the house of its friends, in the home of its production and greatest use fulness. This will have been done at the demand of a foreign foe, a tyrant who insists that we shall have cheaper property with which to pay for dear money. Should this be done thousands of strong men who have been profitably employed will walk down the mountains from the mines in search of other fields for their labor which they may not easily find." Tite denunciation of Nebraska's lack of exhibits in the Nebraska building at the World's fair is universal, and is growing in volume. All the visitors say that what is there, is good enough, but there is not enough of it, and it is not arranged as it should be. The Lincoln Journal is very outspoken in its de nunciation: "A citizen of Nebraska who has gained a wide reputation in the management of exposition work is authority for the statement that a good man could go into the state building on Jackson park even at this late day and by expending but little more than $1,000 could put the interior in a condition to be a comfort credit to the Btate. It is becoming more and more evident daily that Governor Crounse cannot defer action in regard to Mr. Garnean without bringing upon himself the reproach of nearly every man and woman from Nebraska who visits tho e'iosition. The extravagance and incompetency shown in the preparation of the exhibit has been followed by a gross waste of public funds in the main tenance of the exhibit. The world's fair exhibit is now a stench in the nos trils of the people of the state, and if tho governor does not hasten to correct his error in retaining Garneau he will find before the expiration of his term of office that his business is held by the people to be a stain upon his record too great to be overlooked or forgiven. It is entirely possible to clean out that building, install a good man in the office of commissioner-general and put the maintenance of the exhibit upon an economical and business-like basis long before the close of the third month of the fair. The state lookB to Governor Crounse to do this very thing." There are parts of the south where people appreciate the benefits of a pro tective policy. The Charleston News, in a short paragraph, voices these views: "Every mill and factory that we build and operate successfully is a big helper in the cause of our independence. Ev ery shop that gives employment to one or more efficient workmen is a emaller but important help. Every wheel that turns and every wheel that cuts, in town or country, does its part in the great work. What we need more than all else, as a people, is to make what we need, instead of depending on the other people to make it for us." Good logic for every portion of our country. Establish factories for work ing up the natural products of your country. The raw material is the first wealth; the manufactured goods contain a second wealth, sometimes very much greater than the first, including mostly the wages of added labor, and this is the main factor in building cities, the bulk of the pay for manufactured articles coming now from outside communities. With this, as with many other things, the first to start is the one to win. For the benefit and comfort of the "old soldiers" drawing pensions, and who voted to tear down the republican administration of the offices of the na tion, we will state that Hoke Smith has hung up their pensions in the govern ment drying room for sixty days. He orders them to walk up to the office of the new pension examiners and show cause why they are drawing a pension at all, by new and undoubted testimony that they are utterly incapable of per forming any manual labor, and that the disability came from wounds or disease contracted in the army or navy during the late "war between the states. Walk up, boys, and take your medicine. Su perior Journal. Dogs Cannot be Stolen. Mrs. Smith, Harry S. Smith and Ed gar Smith were arrested this morning on complaint of Andrew Rohue, and charged with grand larceny. The grand larceny consisted of stealing "one light yellow English mastiff dog, valued at 8100." When brought into court Judge Berka immediately discharged Mrs. Smith and her sons, under the old com mon law rule that a charge of larceny cannot be based on the taking of a dog. He informed the complaining witness that if the dog was his property and he desired to retrain Dossession of it. that I the proper course would be to get out a I writ 01 replevin. jumana wona-xieraia. i Washington Letter. From our regular correspondent. Rumors are flying thick and fast of an intention on the part of the free coinage democrats to bolt the democratic caucus and vote for the republican caucus nom inee for speaker, in order to defeat the administration program, which includes the re-election of Speaker Crisp. The new house will have a total membership of 35G, of whom 128 are republicans and 13 populists. Should 38 of the 215 democrats bolt the democratic caucus it would be possible to defeat Crisp, but while it is possible, no well informed person considers it probable. It is more likely that these rumors are started for the purpose of obtaining concessions to the democratic silver men in the make up of the house committees through the fear of Crisp and the administration that such a combination might be made. While the republicans could not pre vent the populists and bolting demo crats voting for their nominee for speaker if they wished to do so, they do not as a rule regard the election of a republican speaker now as a very desir able thing. Two members of the cabinet will take their vacation at government expense. Secretary Herbert, who has just re turned from the World's Fair, will this week start upon what he is pleased to call an inspection of the eastern navy yards. He will go on the Dolphin and the trip will be along the Atlantic coast as far east as Maine. Secretary Hoke Smith goes Herbert several better, as he, in company with his wife and three children, his father and mother, two nieces and three invited guests, is now on a western inspection tour, in a pri vate car, and will take in the World's Fair and other points of interest along the route. Great is the "inspection tour," particularly when it is manipu lated by a so-called reform administra tion. Democratic editors used to call such trips "pleasure junkets." In addition to his efforts to reduce the pension roll, through the various methods already widely published, Com missioner Lochren has been directed by the president, according to information from a trustworthy source, to prepare a number of bills to be introduced in congress, which would drop a large number of pensioners should they be come laws. The intention is to put forward the most harmless of these bills first, as congressional pulse feelers, the others to follow in regular order if con gress appears to be in accord with the administration, or to be laid aside until a more propitious time should the con trary prove to be true. Representative Holman is not in accord with the ad ministration on the pension question, notwithstanding his general fondness for "economy." He is reported to have said the other day that if the pension program which has been drawn up by Mr. Cleveland and Secretary Hoke Smith be carried out the republicans would have a majority of at least fifty in the house of the fifty-fourth congress, the members of which will be elected next year. By the death of Justice Blatchford Mr. Cleveland gets an altogether unex pected (that is, unexpected until about two weeks ago) plum to dispose of where it will do the most good to Cleve landism. Secretary Carlisle would very willinrrlv CMVA 1111 the CHfftN Mill rmnnn. sibilities of the head of the treasury for a lifetime berth on the bench of the U. S. supreme court. It was said at the time that Mr. Car lisle was hesitating about becoming a member of the cabinet, that he was promised a seat on the bench of the supreme court lefore the end of the administration, but even granting that promise to have been made it does not necessarily follow that he will get this vacancy. Secretary Gresham was re ported to have received a similar promise. There was a delay of four days in the issue of the last weekly Patent Office Gazette, owing to the contract for print ing it having in the interest of demo cratic economy been taken away from a concern which has the facilities for getting it out properly, and giving it to one that lacks them. The same experi ment was made in the early days of the first Cleveland administration, and had to be abandoned because of the delay and bad work. Mr. Cleveland's health is again a lead ing topic of conversation. That it has pot been entirely good has for some time been apparent to those who have come into close contact with him and that his physician has forbid his doing any work for the present is known here, but it is generally thought to be nothing more serious than over work, caused by his queer habit of spending hours over routine work that might just as easily be performed by one of the clerks at the White House. A doctor who knows him sums up his case thuB: "Ob, Cleve land is just like most fat men; he is a slave to his stomach, and every once in a while it brings him to his knees. And if he does not learn to control it, it will eventually kill him, just as other fat men are being killed every day." The World's Fair. The seating capacity of the restaurants at the World's fair grounds is sixty thousand people. They range all the way from the modest lunch counter, where you can obtain a good plain meal for thirty or forty cents, to the expensive cafe which serves a six course dinner for two dollars. Lots of people bring a lunch basket with them and thus get through the day at a merely nominal outlay. 1 ADDITIONAL LOCAL. City Council. Council met Friday evening, all mem bers present. Minutes of previous meeting read and approved. The matter of making a map of the city was referred to the committee on judiciary. Ed. Higgins, a very capable young artist, by his father, made appli cation for the work. The committee on finance, to whom the matter was referred, reported that the general fund levied for 1890, 9, and 92 had been collected and that warrants have been issued on said levies to the full amount of 85 per cent. The same committee reported the con dition of the city funds as stated by the city treasurer, and published in last week's Journal. The police judge's report which was 1 approved showed fines collected for June, $45. The committee on streets and grades recommended the construction of a crossing at the' intersection of Four teenth and L streets. The street commissioner was instruct en not to employ any more labor on the streets until so directed by tho council, except labor on account of poll tax. The report of water commissioner was referred to the committee on water works. The committee on finance reported that by the city treasurer's report it is shown that not more than 85 per cent of the general fond levies for the years 1890, TO and TO has been oolleoted, and that warrants have been issued on said levies to the full amount of 85 per cent. The special election ordinance on the power canal was passed. The proposi tion submitting to a vote of the people will be found elsewhere in today's Journal. The ordinance was passed by a unanimous vote. On motion of Spoerry, the election day was fixed August 19. On motion of Hoffman, the notice of the election was ordered published in The Columbus Journal up to date of said election. The clerk was directed to notify the parties who served as a board of regis tration for the city in October "92, to serve for this special election, and other wise provide for the election. City Attorney Whitmoyer was, on motion of Spoerry, directed to prepare notice of election. The bond of A. Dussell & Son was ap proved and a contract with them for work on water mains signed by the mayor on behalf of the city. On motion of Newman warrants were ordered for bills allowed June 2. Forty-one bills, aggregating about $1500 were allowed and warrants or dered drawn. District 44 and Vicinity. O. McGann has bought a new mower and wheel rake. Carl Rhode has purchased a new self binder and harvester. Apple and forest trees are making a very poor growth this year. Fred Stenger commenced threshing his crop of new winter wheat Friday last. Miss Julia McGann returned home last week from Seward, Nebr., where she went to spend the 4th with relatives. The rain Saturday afternoon was glo rious, and another gentle shower Mon day morning filled the wish of the farmer to overflowing. Benham Meuhler, who lives on sec. 11, has had a new wind-mill erected on his farm the last week; all such things are conspicuous, and show that the town ship is improving rapidly. Groups of men can be seen now dis cussing the 815,000 bond election which will soon be called in this (Columbus), township; every taxpayer should leave his work on the day of election, go to the polls and vote as his conscience dic tates, and not seek advice from the saloons, which ought to be closed -on that day. Sam Drinnin went into the city Sat urday on a high wheel, was caught in the shower and remained in the city until morning. When returning, he passed a lady on the road and in doing so, somehow his wheel turned a somer sault just as he was passing over a mud puddle, too. Sam says he cannot ac count for his wheel cutting up such a caper in that particular place. We will suggest that maybe Sam neglected his wheel in trying to raise his hat. Monroe. ( From the Looking Glass. F. H. Gerrard is putting up a resi dence in south Monroe. Charley Zeigler started for Dakota Saturday week with a band of Gerrard & Zeigler's horses. We were up and looked over the celery garden of H. J. Hendryx. He has a splendid field of celery. His land is apparently just suited to celery raising, and his ditch furnishes plenty of water to irrigate with. It is a pleasure to look over the field which will supply all neighboring towns. When he puts the whole piece under cultivation it will require quite a settlement of people to do the work. As we predicted Hendryx will make one of the finest farms out of that swamp to be found in five states, and his celery will be good enough to send to the Centennial for exhibition; another point worth mentioning is that there is more money in it than in a trotting horse.
