Johx Ijistox, an Omaha switchman, died while laughing Monday night of last week. Bev. BBOWjrof North Bend lectured at Albion last week, in answer to charges published about him by Father O'Riley. It is a safe plan not to lower the price of any American product by unjust laws, and this principle applies to silver as well as anything else. The spiritualistic medium, Maud Lord Drake, before leaving Beatrice predicted that a cyclone will devastate the city before Sept 1, 1893. Cyclone caves are "the chief industry there new. The dry goods and grocery house of Wilson Bros., Fullerton, was closed Thursday by R L. McDonald & Co. of St. Joseph, under chattel mortgage for 80,800; other liabilities $1,200. Foot pads are getting pretty numer ous at Omaha. Good people had better stay in altogether of nights, or else go out in armed squads, whenever they have occasion to be abroad at night. The C, B. & Q. has begun .suit in Douglas county against the Union Pa " ciOc, alleging violation of contract to permit plaintiff to use its tracks for similar favors granted, damages claim ed, 175,000. The new volume of session laws will contain about 1000 pages and will bo the largest over issued in the state. Proof sheets of the first 244 pages have been received at tiie office of the secre tary of state. . A Mb. Bnsns proposes a congress of the civilized nations of -the world and a single coin standard, each piece to be composed of nineteen parts silver and one part gold. He thinks the marriage .would bo a very happy one. DritECTORS of the defunct Capital Na tional bank of Lincoln are called upon to answer the chargo of "obtaining money under false pretences" by solicit ing bnsiness after they knew tho bank was in an insolvent condition. The railroads, it is said, are getting ready to put the new freight rates into operation in this state, beginning with the first of August Their chief officials have been in consultation several days at Chicago. Long and short lines to common points may call for arbitrary rates, as it would not be fair to allow the shorter lino to take all tho freight. The capital stock of the Omaha & Re publican Valley Railroad company has been increased to 15,000,000. Tho last annual statement of the Union Pacific system, of which the above road is a part, shows that the gross earnings per mile were $2,401.72, while the operating expenses per mile were $2,003.06, a de ficit of $141.34, which does not include fixed charges or interest on bonds. A recent cartoon in "Judge," pictures Governor AKgeld of Illinois, in freeing the anarchists, as letting loose the dogs Murder, Anarchy and Socialism, to tear to "pieces the fair Columbia and her chil dren. A "monument stands in the back ground "to the memory of the policemen murdered by tho anarchists in Chicago." "The friend of mad dogs" will find abundant condemnation as the years roll by. "Before the educational congress in .Chicago Miss Mary A. Jordan read a paper, which is attracting wide atten tion. Her statement of the aim of the public free schools is brief, at least, viz: First, to fit pupils for their active life work; second, "to get them ready for technical pursuits; third, to prepare them to follow a course of higher ed ucation in some of onr colleges or uni versities. While Hiram Hippen and wife, living near Lodge Pole, were attending school meeting, three of their boys were driving some stock as a Btorm was approaching. Some of the calves ran through a wire fence and as they were being driven .back, all the boys were struck by light ning, one slightly shocked, one stunned and 'Johnny, 8 years old, instantly kill ed, the bolt striking his temple, leaving ' a blood shot mark, whilo his left arm -and leg were dislocated. Evangelist Moodt has engaged a theater in Chicago for five weeks to hold nightly religious meetings. It seems quite a venture, for a season when so .many 'preachers are off on a vacation, but tho crowds that come to hear him are .a fall justification of tho invest ment He never seems to lack for wil ling hearers, and undoubtedly he has done a world of good by his honest, common-sense talks on important mnt- ' tere, concerning all who wish to live rightly. A consignment of 100,000 grape bas- kets, says the Omaha Bee, has just been received in this city from Michigan over the Burlington railway, to be used in putting up the grape product of Coun- . cil Bluffs and the vicinity this fall. Each basket is estimated to hold nine .pounds. The baskets now on hand may be supposed to indicate in a measure the expectations of the grape men with reference to their crops. It took fije freight cars to transport the baskets from Michigan to this city. Straight Talk. In a communication recently to the New York Tribune, Senator Chandler of New Hampshire strikes the nail fairly on the head: "Why should not the banks, the cham bers of commerce and the newspapers recognize and state the exact truth: That the present depressed condition of the business of. the country is due to the approaching assault upon the McKinley bill in particular and upon the Ameri can protective system in general? Why should republicans, of all men, seek for any other cause? President Cleveland naturally looks for a different reason. Necessarily he must proclaim some other reason for the distress and ruin which have attended his inauguration. If Cleveland and his party will repent of and recant their declarations that the tariff is unconstitutional and is to be destroyed, our prosperity will return. If they do not so declare, the people will destroy them." Every presidential campaign disturbs more or less the equilibrium of busi ness, less, when the possibilities of change are few, and more when the probabilities of radical changes are' strong. Seldom in the history of changes of administration of our governmental affairs, have the immediate effects trace able directly to suoh change, been 60 great or so disastrous, and it is to be hoped that there is genuine patriotism enough left with the dominant party to not plunge headlong along the course marked out by them in their campaign. They should recognize their mistake, and act accordingly. Thus only will they command the respect of the coun try, and thus only can they entertain hope for continuance in power. Statesmen serve their country to the best of their ability, but are often balked and thwarted by considerations of petty party politics. This is no time to trifle with the busi ness interests of the country. Very much is at stake. Confidence, that "plant of so slow growth," seemed al most to have vanished for awhile from the realm of business, only to return as people can find reason to believe that the called congress may be able to de vise some measures of relief. For the first time since the resump tion of specie payment (accomplished under and by a republican administra tion,) government bonds went down to ninety-six cents on the dollar, a plain enough declaration of lack of confidence of the people (not in their government itself,) but certainly in the present management. The Cleveland, personal domination will not do. There must be 6ome thought outside the channels of selfish ness; the main-spring of action must be love of country, the present good, not only, but the .enduring welfare of the nation, and all tho nation. Tho great body of the American peo ple are thoroughly imbued with the principles, brilliantly illustrated in the lives of our best men, and will gladly welcome, from whatever party source, a sound solution of our present difficulties, on the basis of common sense and jus tice to all interests. Restore confidence by doing right. DECIDED AGAINST TIIE CIH'HCH. Land Not in l'e the Same as Other Taxable Property. An important decision has been hand ed down by Judge Bush of the district court at Beatrice, which is liable to be far reaching in that it establishes a precedent. The case in question is an appeal case entitled the First Christian church of Beatrice against the City of Beatrice. It grows out of the recent action of the city council, acting as a board of equalization, in assessing for taxation certain property belonging to the church, which is not used in any respect for church purposes. An appeal was taken by the church to the district court. Now comes Judge Bush, who decides that the action of the council was right and that the property in question was not being used for, nor had it ever been used for church pur poses, and that there was no good reason shown why it should not be taxed as other city property.

Not a structure in either town was left 'intact Hnndreds of persons were injured. The number of dead is unknown as the bodies were buried in the ruins, only seven bodies having been recovered. Hundreds of buildings were wrecked. Veghera is a manufacturing city of 10,000 inhabitants, Casteggio, 5,000. Ax exchange says: "After fighting the Sherman law ever since their party was born and making it the basis of several hard-fought campaigns, the populists are now vigorously opposing its repeal. It certainly cannot be argued that the law has changed and it is therefore quite evident that the populists have seen a light" Pf nsioners Suspended and Dropped. The total number of pensioners dropped from the rolls since March 4, 1893, was 245; the total number of pen sioners suspended since March 4, pend ing a further investigation of their cases, was 5,090. Svi Jotrn Washiagtea Letter. .From oar regular correspondent! Indications increase as the time for the meeting of the extra session draws nearer that there will be just as bitter a fight among the democrats over the tariff as there will be over silver, and whether correctly or not, Mr. Cleveland is classed among those democrats who will favor a revision of the tariff on pro tection lines. The attempt on the part of the administration to center public attention on the silver question was the deliberate and intentional result of the conviction that it would bo suicidal both for the democratic party and for the country for the democratic congress to keep the pledges made by the Chica go platform, in tne construction of a tariff bill, and that it was necessary to withdraw public attention from the tariff in order to prevent the change of attitude being so noticeable. The free trade wing of the democratic party in congress, mostly from the south and west, are just beginning to catch the drift of this movement and they say they will demand that congress carry out the party platform and wipe out so much of the tariff as represents protec tion to home industries, and open our markets to the manufactures of the world. It seems more probable now than at any time since the election that the re publicans in congress may by acting with that wing of the democratic party which will vote for moderate protection be able to prevent the utter destruction of many American industries that can not possibly exist without some protec tion. But even with the hardest work on the part of the republicans it is prob able that the reductions made in the present duties will be large enough to cause a general reduction in wages throughout the United States, in order to allow onr goods to compete with the products of European labor, but a re duction in wages, bad as it is, is prefera ble to the entire loss of employment that would necessarily follow a triumph of the free trade wing of the democratic party. The alleged news of the preparation by England to resist by force the decis ion of theBehring Sea arbitration should it be in favor of the United States, as it must be if the arbitrators decide with out prejudice, found a few people here who took it seriously, but most people regard it as merely one of the stories of the silly season, through which the world usually passes at this season of the year. Such action on the part of England would mean war, and England does not want war with us; it would precipitate the inevitable loss of her possessions on this continent Secretary Morton is one of the most persistent seekers after free advertising in the present cabinet. Scarcely a day passes that he does not announce some alleged reform in some branch of the agricultural department, but as far as can be seen the only reform is in the announcement. In order to give the new democratic chiefs of divisions in the interior de partment full swing to promote demo crats without regard to their merits the board of promotion created by Secretary Noble for the purpose of deciding what employes were entitled to promotion has been abolished and all promotions are to be made on the recommendations of the chiefs, a system which has in the past made the chiefs petty tyrants and in more than one instance blackmailers of the clerks under them. It is admitted on the quiet by Mr. Crisp's friends that there is to be lots of shaking up in the membership of the house committees, and that a good many democrats who had prominent and desirable committee places in the last house will le given only minor places in the coming reorganization. They do not feel free yet to openly boast of these changes, which have in reality been ordered by Mr. Cleveland, for al though there is no candidate in sight to make a fight against the election of Crisp to be speaker they realize that a combination might be made within forty-eight hours of the time for hold ing the democratic caucus that might do the business for Crisp and upset things generally. Representative Bland, of Missouri, who has been chairman of tho coinage committee whenever the house has been democratic, for lo these many years, is to be left out in the cold and they are saying that he has consent ed, but that is doubtful. Springer is to be sat upon hard, and instead of hitting back with his good right hand he and his friends are begging that he be given his old place at the head of the ways and means committee and expressing his willingness to make any promises that may be required. It is believed, however, that he is needlessly humbling himself and that he has no chance of getting his old place. Holman also is to go. His economy was good enough when one branch of congress was re publican. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. For The Journal. CUPID'S RYTHM. FOB THE YOCNC1 FOLKS, BT H. BOYDSTOX.

Father Godfrey, former pastor at this place, was here the first of the week; Father Salvator will be the pastor here now. He was formerly at Lindsay. The little son of Francis Rieter, who swallowed a hair pin one day last week, is getting along nicely, the pin not af fecting him in the least, so far. The pin went down with the point first and it is a wonder how it ever was swallowed. Monroe. From the Looking Glass. The Gerrarda' cousins left for their home in New York city the first of the week. Heudryx & Co. finished cutting their wheat crop yesterday afternoon. They have the finest winter wheat we have seen for years, and it will go 40 bushels per acre, or we don't know anything about wheat. As our readers are aware Mr. Wm. Did way of Findlay, Ohio, has been in our place looking over the indications for gas or oil. He is confident that there is either one or both to be fount here. He goes back todav and will ascertain the expense, etc., immediately, He desires our people to take about 100 shares of $25 each in the enterprise, when it will be pushed as rapidly as possible. Our people can expect to be called upon to subscribe the shares in the immediate future. Columbus par ties will take a part of it, but onr own people should own a majority of the stock. Humphrey. I. From the Democrat. J The corner stone of the new Catholic church at Humphrey was laid last Wed nesday, Father Paciticus of Columbus conducting the services. This church will be one of the largest and best in the state when completed. J. A. Rosback, one of the pioneer mer chants of Cornlea, went to Columbus for the first time last Friday. Mr. Ros back is one among the few thoroughly home men, and to this, he owes a great deal of his success in business. Bert Arnold, of Columbus, was a familiar figure on our streets this week. Charley Taylor was here on Monday, but Charley almost makes his home among us now days. Occasionally going down to Columbus however, to preserve peace and maintain the dignity of the town as against the invasion of anyone who would organize a lynching DOG The contract for the completion of the sewerage system in Fremont has been awarded to McDonald, Penfield k Co. of that city for $35,126.28. The con tract calls for 73,663 feet of sewer pipe, eighty man holes and twelve Hushing tanks. J. . Riley and J. L. Black of Omaha and O. G. Kringle of Dubuque, la., were the other bidders. When completed this will give the city of Fre mont one of the best sewer systems in the state. The extension of our sewer age system is something our business men and property owners should be con sidering. We have a very good begin ning, and it will not be diffioult to add to it when property owners are induced to consider how much it adds to the value of their holdings, and the increased rentals that it will bring them. We know to a certainty that several of the denizens of block 118 need sewerage, need it badly, and can have it very read ily by expending a few good hard dollars. o Water loasaaer. iOheii DtsWor jaafirMAX ha plaqed in tDarnands of NiewohnerBjve street. ing billsyro reAipts have each oonsumelX Please with.
