The Perry Daily Times "was the first newspaper to make an appearance in The Strip. Rev. Isaac Heatojj, tho first clergy man in Fremont, died there last week, aged 85 years. At South Omaha, Saturday, Agnes Dibelka poured oil on the embers of a fire and lost her life. Two new cases of yellow fover were reported Sunday at Brunswick, Ga., one death, and four cases well and dis charged. Five hundred extra polico havo been put on guard to protect tho palatial res idences of Now York's millionaires against the attacks of anarchists. The Osceola Becord says that the man for the republicans to nominate for supreme judgo is tho man who can poll the most votes and do the most good for the party and that means Maxwell. MRs.WEAi.Tnv Beebe, tho first settler and the oldest woman resident in Dodgo county, and who never misses attend ance at tho Dodge county fair, was pre sented with a red ribbon at the last fair, by tho management. There promises to be a very lively contest in tho state democratic conven tion between tho Bryan and Morton wings, over the silver question. So far 'as we can see, the greater portion of tho rank and file are with Bryan. "Be Jabees," said a son of Erin on tho streets of Clinton, "it took tho re publican party thirty years to get a day's work down to eight hours, and Cleveland has it down to five in less than eix months." Lyons, la., Mirror. ' Express authorities got wind of an attack to be made on one of their ship ments, and made up a dummy train sup plied with armed men, officials, etc. The ruse was successful, two of the would-be train robbers were killed, three captured and one escaped. The attack was made near St. Joe. Pebkt, Iowa, suffered a considerable loss by fire Sunday morning, some eight or ten property owners being concerned, the total damage being $30,000, with $21,000 insurance. An explosion oc curred while a number of firemen were on a roof, scattering them in all direc tions, but fortunately none wero se riously injured. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Suspended silver mines in Colorado, Utah and Montana, so it is said, owe San Francisco powder companies up wards of $300,000, which it is impossible to collect Bequests for payment are answered "Go see Cleveland,' which promises to becomo a famous by-word for the American people all around when coming up against tho ugly re sults of a change of administration. These are yet a number of men who think that the proper solution of tho negro question in this country lies in the colonization of the negro race else where in a land especially adapted to them, and that this is needed aliko for the good of both tho white and tho col ored people of the south for the ne groes because it would give them self government and development along their own proper lines of progress; and for the whites, because they would then be compelled to do the most of their own work, for which they now rely greatly on the negroes. Satubdat night a dynamite bomb was fired in front of a water-front boarding house in San Francisco, filled with non union sailors. The front of the build ing was blown to atoms, six of the inmates of the house horribly mangled, two of these instantly killed and three others died afterward. The thrower of tho bomb is' not surely known, though John Tyrrell has been arrested, charged with the crime. The house was kept by John Curtins. A week ago his place was "entered by a crowd of union men led by John TyrrelL Curtins was threatened and when the men left they told him his houso had only a short time to exist The explosion shook the city for blocks. Men were thrown from their beds across the street The Maxwell Caapatga. There is no fliagaiaing the fact that Judge Maxwell stands well with the common people of this state, irrespec tive of party linesT He has. made ene mies of course, as every positive man does, bat those enemies are generally among such as are themselves not over friendly to the interests of the common people. Mr. Maxwell is a vigorous old man, is conceded to be a hard worker and to take -a lively interest in every question which arises before the court, and it may safely be assumed that it is not because of his age that the opposition to him is keen and untiring. As a judge, in the discharge of official duty, following his idea of justice and law, he has run counter to the wishes of several classes of people, and these, with some others, are arrayed against him in this nominating campaign, and we are sorry to say that we believe he will not receive the nomination; that, not ma neuvering for the place, having no organized workers to speak of, his cause will be outgeneraled and some other man nominated. It does not at all follow that the other man will not make as good a judge, but it may very easily -be that he will not be so recognized by the people of the state generally when election day comes. The situation in 'Dodge county, Mr. Maxwell's home, is certainly not favora ble to him, (the delegation having been instructed for Frick), unless it shall be proved that undue and unfair meanB were used to compass Mr. Maxwell's defeat. The Inter-state Irrigation convention that will meet in Salina, Kansas, Sept. 28th, is attracting wide attention throughout the west. Seven western states will send delegates and addresses will be made by the most practical irri gators of the United States. Mr. T. B. Merry, of Los Angeles, California, will address the convention on the results of irrigation in the west and the' various methods employed in securing artificial water for irrigation. Prof. Hay, the ge ologist, will discuss the water supply on the plains and its utility for irrigation. The duties of the general government to the irrigation movement will be dis cussed by representatives from South Dakota, Texas and Nebraska. Every phase of the question will be discuseedby practical and experienced men. A per manent organization will be formed to push the movement in behalf of the settlers of the great west. Platte county should be well represented at this con vention. Everyone interested either di rectly or indirectly, is invited to attend. Every board of trade should send a rep resentative and every farmers' society should not fail to have a dele gate at this convention. Every citizen in the west is directly interested in this movement Let this be a movement by the masses of the people. Special rates are given over all the railroads. For particulars address J. L. Bristow, Salt na, Kansas. A theuexdous sensation was caused at Barcelona, Sunday by an attempt to murder General Martinez Campo, the famous Spanish commander, who made the military pronunciamento which gave tho throne to Alphonso. Two bombs wero cast beneath his horse at a review of troops. The horse was so badly in jured that ho was shot to end his suffer ings. The general's wound is not be lieved to be dangerous, though it is a serious injur to a man of years 60. The bombs used were large iron spheres charged with dynamite, and their ex plosion was so powerful that it broke a number of windows in adjacent honses. Ono guard was killed, and several se verely injured by fragments of the bombs. The name of the thrower is Pallas, a notorious anarchist, and when questioned he said he intended to kill the general and his staff. Two of his accomplices were also arrested. Algie Babtlett and two other young men of North Bend started out yester day on a trip to New Orleans. They adopted a primitive mode of travel that was in vogue before white men ever saw Nebraska, and went by water. They have a fine boat constructed by them selves and are supplied with camping outfit, so that they can stop or start when they please. Their route is by the Platte, Missouri and Mississippi riv ers and it is reported they passed the Platte bridge at this point yesterday about 2 o'clock. The members of the party have had considerable experience in this mode of travel and they will doubtless have an enjoyable trip. Fre mont Tribune. Colorado miners and business men seem determined to find a way out of tho woods with their silver product, and are discussing a plan by which they can put an immense quantity of silver into circulation, at least locally and for cer tain purposes. Denver, according to this scheme, is to be headquarters for the storage of the silver bullion of the west, the 6tate issuing a 31 certificate for each ounce of silver stored. One suggestion is that silver souvenirs be issued containing one ounce and one half ounce of silver, these pieces to be taken in exchange for provisions, sup plies, etc., and also in exchange for tax receipts, the souvenirs to be coined free by the state. The Basing Independent says that John Fager was fined SI and costs for whipping his 15-year-old son harder than tho law allows; that Chester Hun ter was bit by a rattlesnake in one of his hands while picking up cobs from a cob pile; that Al. Vest, clerk at Thelen's drug-store at Shelby, on going into the cellar with a lighted match to hunt a lamp, came too near a barrel containing about one gallon of alcohol, when he met an explosion, which knocked the head out of barrel. The editor thinks if the barrel had been full of alcohol, the whole shooting-match would have gone up in flames. The World's Fair. Fifty cents, the admittance fee to the World's fair, covers entrance to every building containing exhibits on the grounds, and the idea that a charge in addition to that amount is asked for ad mission to each building, is entirely in correct Ask the local agent of the Burlington route for information about the best and cheapest way of reaching Chicago.! Excursion every day. WHAT CAN BE DOME? ; Will Calaabaa. tfeaayler, Narta Fre-BMt CeaTMae is a Carnal Mr. Patterson who recently made some surveys relative to secmringwater power at North Bend, has made a full report to'M.S.Cotterellwith an estimate of the probable cost of the same. We ex tract some facta from this report for the benefit of oar readers, triwting that we may hereby aid in awaking some inter est in this project among oar citizens. He says that' the tall of the river from a Doint 80 rods east of the west line of 8-17-5 to the bridge across the north channel at North Bend is 29.45 feet, and the distance about h miles. A 5-foot pipe will carry sufficient water with said fall to produce something over fifty horse power. The plan is all right, the only question is will it pay?" He makes an estimate of the probable income from a proposed plant at North Bend, pro vided the fifty horse power could be utilized for running machinery by day and furnishing electric lights by night, to about $2,500 per annum. He esti mates the total cost of said plant, in cluding excavation, pipe, tower, power house, wheels, dynamos, eta, at $360. The annual cost then would be the in terest on this amount, the cost of main taining or keeping in repair, and the cost of operating, day and night; for these expenses he makes a liberal calcu lation placing the figures at 5,416. He reports further that the water could be brought by a canal and flume instead of the pipe, so as to give more power and the first cost to be only half as much as the pipe plan. He states the opinion that if Columbus, Schuyler, North Bend and Fremont would make a combined effort and take the water from the Loup to the bluffs at Columbus, and after being allowed to fall at the city, be taken along tho edge of the bluffs to Schuyler, where the same work would be repeated, thence to North Bend and Fremont, the strong water power could be recurred at a comparatively low cost Will these cities co-operate in this project and see what can be done? North Bend Republican. Washington letter. From our regular correspondent. A majority of the democrats in con gress are very near to being in open re volt against Mr. Cleveland, and unless that gentleman displays a more concilia tory disposition there may be a perma nent split in the democratic party in the very near future. The straw which has almost broken the back of the -democratic animal is Mr. Cleveland'.) opposi tion to the taking up of the bill for re peal of the federal election laws by the house, until after the senate disposes of the silver repeal bill. It is said that Mr. Cleveland spoke in a most dictato rial manner to Speaker Crisp because of bis having consented that this bill should be reported to the house without having first obtained permission, and that Mr. Crisp got nettled and told him that he was under the impression that the president was at the head of the ex ecutive, not the legislative branch of the government Well, he wants to be at the head of them all, and he is openly accused by democrats with having in fluenced democratic members of the house to stay away in order to break a quorum. Whether he did or not it is certain that the democrats tried in vain to get a quorum for three days last week. Today is a holiday, on account of the centennial celebration of the lay ing of the corner stone of the capitol building, and it remains to be seen whether there will be a quorum of dem ocrats in the house tomorrow. The republicans very naturally decline to assist in making n quorum of the honse for any such purpose. The condition in the senate is prac tically unchanged. Senator Vorhees, although he knows that a majority of the senators 19 senators are claimed, and the claim undisputed will vote for his repeal bill if it can be got to a vote, is afraid to attempt to force the fight, although he continues to threaten to do so. There is only one way to force the bill to a vote, and that is to keep the senate continually in session with a quorum 43 senators always on the floor, until the opposition becomes suffi ciently worn out to consent to vote; but Senator Yorhees does not feel certain that he can do that for the very good reason that a number of senators who are willing to vote for repeal have said that they would not consider it their duty to remain continuously Tim the floor in order to force a vote. Then, there is another side to this question of endurance. Enough of the 'repealers may become worn out to enable the silver men to vote down the bill or to amend it to suit themselves. It is no child's play either way you look at it, and, whatever may be the opinion of outsiders, every senator fully realizes the seriousness of the situation. The principal reason why Mr. Cleve land does not wish the house to start the acrimonious debate that is certain to follow the taking up of the bill for the repeal of the federal election law is that he realizes the necessity of having the active assistance of republican senators if the Yorhees bill is to be passed, and fears that assistance may be lost through the abuse of republicans in the house. And there are good and sufficient grounds for his fear. Not that anything any democrat could say would change the vote of any republican senator who upon principle favors tho repeal bill, but that it might result in causing some of them to absent themselves at a critical period, which might result in the defeat of the bill Take it all in all the democrats, split in half as they are on the silver question, occupy a very ticklish position. The southern sena tors are constantly hearing of populist gains at their homes, and it begins to look as though the repeal of the pur chasing clause of the silver law might accomplish one very desirable thing a break up of the solid south if the re peal itself can be accomplished. Today there is a flag of truce flying, so to speak, and the presidsnt, the cabi net and congress are helping the people to celebrate the centennial of the laying of the corner stone of the capitol. The celebration is a great success, the plaza facing the east front of the capitol being packed with something like 200, 000 people to listen to the speaking, music and -the grand chorus of 1500 voices, which have been in training for months. The president made the speech introducing Mr. William Wirt 1 Henry, of Virginia, the principal orator; - the vice president spoke for the senate; Speaker Crisp for the house of repre sentatives; Justice Brown of the su preme court, for the judiciary, and Commissioner Parker for the District of Columbia. Senator Cullom's resolution to inves tigate the dogging of pensioners at their homes by government detectives, for the purpose of obtaining admissions to be used as evidence to reduce their pen sions or to entirely deprive them of them, which was offered several days ago, has aroused much indignation in congress against the pension methods of the administration, some of it among democrats. The resolution will be heard from again. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. MAJUUBD. Bowk Turner Wednesday, Sep tember 20th, at the residence of the bride's parents in this city, by Bev. A. O. Elliott, Howard A Bowe, of Oak dale, and Miss Anna C. Turner. Belatives of the contracting parties were the only persons present at the ceremony. The happy couple left on the first afternoon train for the east af ter which they will be "at home" at Oakdale. The Joubnax, as is its usual custom, wishes them a long and happy life to gether and troops of true friends. The happy event mentioned above, took place at 10 o'clock, in the presence of about twenty relatives, iucluding the mother and sisters of the groom. .Mr. Bowe was at one time a resident of Co lumbus, but is now located at Oakdale, from which place he runs west as mail clerk on the F. E. & M V. road, and is a young man of excellent character. The bride is too well known to need any introduction. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Turner, and is vir tually a native of this city, where her many traits of character and accomplish ments are known. For some time she was engaged in teaching in the Grant Institute at Genoa, where sho was suc cessful to a remarkable degree. The happy couple left on the 1 o'clock train for quite an extended wedding trip, go ing first to the World's fair, after which they will go on to Boston and other eastern points, returning in a few weeks to begin life in their new home at Oak dale. The Telegram joins the large number of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Bowe in wishing them the fulfilment of their most cherished hopes in life's journey. Columbus Telegram. The Bowes formerly lived in this county, and Howard has quite a num ber of acquaintances here who know him to be a young man of worth and sterling integrity. The bride is one of Columbus's most popular and worthy daughters. The Sun extends its best wishes. Schuyler Sun. Stevensox Beinke Sept 20th, at the residence of the bride's parents in this city, in the presence of relatives and intimate friends of the parties, by Elder H. J. Hudson, Mr. Clinton W. Stevenson of Colfax county, and Miss Maggie Beinke. The evening was the 32d anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Beinke, the same clergyman officiating. The young couple are worthy of each other and The Journal wishes them tho good things of life in abundance. Wo print elsewhere resolutions adopted at a public meeting in this city, in regard to the use of the bible in the schools, presumably as a book of in struction for the teacher to read to pupils. Had the writer been present he would have made a second voter, at least, against the adoption of the reso lution It is far from being true that adherents of the Catholic church are the only ones opposed to such resolutions and to what is advocated in them. There are large sections of people who are opposed, not to good morals, but to giving the public schools of this coun try any tinge of a religious cast With all due deference to those who voted for these resolutions, there are those who pay taxes, obey the laws, are good citi zens, entitled to all the rights that any others are entitled to, who are decidedly averse to bringing any discussion of the different forms and phases of religious beliefs and customs into tho public schools, and bible reading, without comment allowed by pupil is contrary to the spirit of our government Truth is, undertake to make these schools ev erywhere the best instructors in the principles of morality, or good conduct recognized by christians of all denomi nations, Jews, Chinese, infidels, free thinkers, and what-not; in the legal branches named in our statutes; make them efficient for tie purposes designed by the people and you are doing the right thing fully, otherwise you tend to destroy their usefulness, in a mistaken zeal for your own view of religion.

Brown of North Bend, de livered an address Sunday evening last in flie Methodist church on the subject of "Bomanism and the Public Schools." The audience filled the church to over flowing. At the close of the address the following-preamble and resolutions were adopted with only one dissenting vote: Whereas, oar public schools are the great sheet-anchor of our government, and fiie palladium of our liberties, and Whereas, the Boman Catholic church has made a bitter and most persistent fight on our public school system, first driving the bible out of the schools, and then objecting to the schools because, as they claimed, they were godless schools, therefore, Besolved, That we enter our most sol emn protest against such opposition. Besolved, That we most emphatically object to any sectarian or priestly inter ference with our public school system or any division of our public school funds. Besolved, That we regard the bible as an unsectarian book and a divine author ity on morals. As such a book, we be lieve it should be read in all our schools and we call upon those having the con trol of our public schools to see to it that the bible according to King James's translation or the revised version, be read without note or comment in all those schools. Sekavler. From The Son. Jonas Blust, 66 years of age, died Tuesday morning of jaundice. Frank Abart stepped on a needle and run it clear through the ball of his foot Beisch Bros, of Bichland have sown fifty acres and Mr. McBride eighty acres to fall wheat John Stodol of Howells and Banie Hashberger of Schuyler have gone to the deaf and dumb school at Omaha. W. N. Combs drained some eight acres of his land by tiling, two years ago; previous to that it was worthless. The corn on it this year will yield 75 bushels to the acre. A masked man eutered a store at Heun and at the point of a revolver compelled Miss Mary Heun to give him some twenty odd dollars in the drawer: he also helped himself to eight boxes of sardine. He was a short, thick-set man, dressed in a pair of blue overalls and a light colored shirt. A man knocked at a country resi dence near the city late one night re cently, and on the lady of the house ap pearing at the door, asked if his com panion could stay all night with them his companion being in a wagon in the road. She replied that it was only a short distance to town, that they were not prepared to entertain strangers, etc. He said that his companion was well ac quainted with Mr. Lockhart and asked that he come out to the wagon. On his refusal to go the traveller returned to the road and was heard to say, "we'll have to drive further on." We give the incident as we hear it. In such cases you cannot always tell whether pur poses are honest or otherwise, but it is always well for those who are secure to remain so, if they can, and it is just as well for those who are traveling to act upon the commonly-recognized modes of procedure along their journey.
