Goveknok MoKinlet's reception in Minnesota was very enthusiastic. George Ticknor Ccbtis died sudden ly Wednesday at Lis home in New York. It is not yet known whether Governor Crounso wishes to be placed again upon the republican ticket. It is reported that Queen Lil will de liver a course.ot lectures in the United States. For pity's sake. Tiie government building at Lincoln is to be provided with an elevator an other evidence that the world does move. The Hawaiian royalists are coming out in favor of union with the United States, believing there is no hope of restoration. Chicago men have bought coal lands near Steubenville, Hopedale and Cadiz, Ohio, amounting to 6,500 acres, at 33 'J an acre. As one of our exchanges remarks, "the soil of Nebraska is centuries deep in fer tility." With irrigation here and there where it can readily be effected, our Ne braska 6oil will be fabulously productive. Fkantc Dietrich, a printer, was found dead in the Omaha World-Hearld com posing room Wednesday night last week. Early in the evening ho was drinking and fell from a stool. He was addicted to the uee of morphine and opium. Now that Governor Crounse has de clared himself as not desiring a re-nomination for governor, the friends of Cady, McColl, Bemis, Majors, Broatch, Ray mond, Thummel and Valentine are be coming active. It is thought that Gov. Crounse would like to be U. S. senator. The nomination for republican nation al candidates should be made by the states that will cast their electoral vote for republicans. If the present rate of uccession continues without hindrance, the states will be climbing over each other to get into the republican column. Governor Hogg of Texas is very severe in his condemnation of Southern PaciGc railroad officials in bringing from California and setting off 700 or 800 pen niless men, known as ''Frye's army." In event of a disturbance of the peace, the governor purposes making it hot for the railroad officials. Tns Kearney semi-authorized Call, brings out, in a manner, the name of John T. Mallalieu as a candidate for the Kem vacancy in congress from the Fifth district. Mr. Mallalieu, who has for years been superintendent of the reform school, is a gentleman and a scholar, qualified to make a strong race for election and an able representative in congress after election. Fremont Tribune. A world's wonder has leen unearthed in the great Empire state of New York, and it is worth something more than a passing thought, viz: a county with money enough left over from last year to run the government without a new tax levy for this year. Newspapers generally are so much opposed to free advertising that they utterly refuse to spread abroad the fame of this New York county, for fear there will be an overwhelming rush thitherward. TnE investment of the idle money be longing to the permanent school fund still engages the attention of the Board of Educational Lands and Funds. The members of the board will not gain the ill will of the people if they invest the whole fund as speedily as possible. The proposition to invest several hundred thousand dollars in United States bonds may or may not bo a wiso one. If no other bonds can be purchased to an ad vantage the state can better afford to hold United States bonds at a low rate of interest than to permit the money to lie idle. Omaha Bee. The man who will succeed Kem will, in the first place, be a republican. No ' others need apply. In the second place he must, as we stated above, be a man of strictly pure reputation, upon whom no mud can be thrown nor against whom no questionable past political records can be raised; a man who combines brains with eloquence and of whom any constituency might be proud. Such a man as Hon. A. E. Cady. As surely as he receives the nomination in the repub lican convention (and it is considered almost a certainty at present) just so surely will he be elected, and that by one of those republican majorities which are so fashionable at present. Now, mark ye well the Republican's predictions. St Paul Republican. Patexts on 2S6 inventions expired by limitation last week. Among them were the following: Speedy indicators, W.

THE PKOPHECY OF BLAINE. A Remarkable Prediction Made Three Years Ago, Now Fulfilled. Some men have the gift of prophecy without comprehending what they aro saying. Others, with opened vision, look into the future seeing, in a general way, the effects of causes already at work. Among these was the great man whose death was an irreparable loss to his country Blaine, the patriot and states man. Three years ago he wrote: "I love my country and my country men. I am an American, and I rejoice every day of my life that I am. I enjoy the general prosperity of my country, and know that the workingtnen of this land are the best paid, the beet fed, and the best clothed of any laborers on the face of the earth. Many of them have homes of their own. They are surround ed by all the comforts and many of the luxuries of life. I shudder, however, at the thought that the time must come when all this will be changed, when the general prosperity of the country will be destroyed, when the great body of work ingmen in this land, who are now so prosperous, will hear their wives and children cry for bread; that day must come when the great factories and man ufactories of this land will shut down, and where there is now life and activity there will be the silence of the tomb. And the reason why this must be is this: The great southern wing of the Demo cratic party are determined to establish the doctrine of free trade in this land. They will be assisted by their northern allies. There is a great body of vision ary, but educated men, who are employ ed day by day in writing free trade essays and arguments in favor of the doctrine, which find their way in every newspaper in the land. The great body of our people have never experienced, themselves, the suffering which always results when the protective principles are laid aside. Poisoned and excited by the wild statements of these writers and the demagogic appeals of the Democratic speakers, the result will be that in the very near future these forces which aro now working will be strong enough to defeat at the polls the party advocating the doctrine of protection. It must in evitably follow that uncertainty and doubt will ensue. The business men of the country, fearing the destruction of the principles of protection, will decline to engage in business, consequently mills will shut down and the workingnien will be thrown out of employment. The people will then see as they have never seen before that they cannot be prosper ous and hare work while this principle is threatened. In the midst of their sufferings they will learn that the only way they can be prosperous and happy is to vote for the party that has built up the industries by which they have gained a livelihood; because they will then see clearly that when the manufactory is shut down there is no demand for the only thing which they have to sell, and that is their labor. A man from Kansas in writing to one of our state papers on the ever increas ing topic of alfalfa says that in that country the best way to put in that grass is to thoroughly work the ground until it is very fine and will pack quite solid over the seed then put in with a good drill, putting on one half of the seed the first time and then cross the ground with the drill with the rest of tho seed. There has been some question as to whether cattle turned out to pasture on this grass will not bloat badly and die. But he says that if a man will not turn the cattle on to it until after the dew is off and will leave them there but an hour the first day, and keep increas ing the time gradually until they come to full feed, that there is no danger. He cut from nine acres last year enough hay and seed to come to S500. If we are rightly informed all the seed has been sold that can be obtained. If this is not so it will pay the man who has any to sell to advertise the same. Those who are intending to sow this spring will do well to take extra pains with what they do sow, using every endeavor to get a good stand, as the seed is too costly to half do the work. Albion Argus. There is no royal road to sound learn ing. Real intellectual strength and solid culture can no more be got by a wide range of dilettante exercises than a strong lxdy can be developed simply by parlor systems of physical culture. This important truth is 6et forth in a very graceful way by Miss Agnes Repplier in the April number of The Forum, who shows that ''the necessity of knowing a little about a great many things is the most grievous burden of our day, be cause it deprives us of leisure on the one hand and scholarship on the other." The dissipation and distraction caused by innumerable courses of lectures and the cramming of digests and epitomes are producing a very serious intellectual disease in the American public; for thousands of people conclude that by this means they really become cultivated, whereas they fall far short of any real learning, and put themselves, moreover, into a state of nervous activity which deprives even of the benefit of the leisure that wise men have, and even of the rest ful results of idleness which those get who are content to be ignorant. In answer to the assertion that the Keeley is a faith cure, the doctor says that his first patient was cured uncon sciously in every particular; his cure is based, he says, on the fact that alcohol is a poison and that his cure is an nnti toxine or a contrary poison. We Sweep the World. iHs s an old saying that a "new broom sweeps clean" but when we say 'we sweep the world" we mean that among all the railways of the world none stands higher in the estimation of the public, in all especial points, than the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. It is the only line west of Chicago which runs electric-lighted, steam-heated and vesti buled trains between Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis, and between Chicago and Omaha. Try it. F. A.

Minutes of previous meetings were read and approved. Bills were allowed as follows and war rants ordered drawn: R. C. Boyd $1.40; M K. Turner & Co., S2&65; H. L Mur dock 817.15; Platte Co. Argus 810.00; Columbus Telegram 810. On motion of Taylor, $1,700 was trans ferred from the county treasury to the teachers' fund. Mr. McDonald, architect from Lincoln, exhibited and explained plans of school buildings, one of four rooms costing S7,000, another of seven rooms coating S11,000. Some informal discussion was indulged in with reference to the kind and cost of the two buildings to be erected, provided the bonds are voted, the general opinion of the membersjbeing that the buildings should be equal, or nearly equal in cost, and that no schoo building should be erected unless it is a good'one. A resolution offered by Taylor was car ried, Kramer voting in the negative, giv ing it as the sense of the members of the board that two four-room buildings be erected, one not further east than Merid ian avenue, the other not further west than Olive street. Speice of the committee reported gross receipts of the school entertainment for benefit of library fund, $92.30, expenses for opera house and certificates, 814.10, net proceeds 87&20. The services of an elocutionist are to be obtained for the graduating classes, provided the same do not cost more than 875. The committee on schools was author ized to make preparations for graduat ing class exercises. Proposed Legislation. Report of the committe, upon legisla tion of the North Nebraska Teachers' association, composed of Superintendent J. G. Haupt of Dakota county. Miss C. M. White of Wayne, and C. W. Bigolow of Madison, which was unanimously adopted by a full house. We, your committee appointed to formulate evident faults in our school laws and to recommend desirable changes, beg leave to report: First, that greatly unequal school privileges are to be avoided and every reasonable effort aiming at equalization of school taxation should be encouraged. We respectfully suggest the justice and wisdom of appropriating the fine and license money and the railroad school tax of a county to the extent of at least one-half to the county school fnnd to be distributed to the districts upon the pro rata basis as other school monoy. We also favor a reasonable county school tax. Second, that so long as money de rived from fines and licenses in cities and incorporated towns is appropriated to the school fund, provision should be made for the equitable distribution of such moneys in towns and cities all of whose territory is not in one school dis trict and we recommend in Bubstance the following amendment: That in cities and incorporated towns whose ter ritory forms in whole or in part more than one school district, all money de rived from fines and licenses appropriat ed to the school fnnd of such city or town shall be apportioned to these sev eral districts in proportion to the num ber of persons of school age of said city or town belonging to each district ac cording to the last school census. Third, that it is a decided evil to boards of education, to the schools, and to teachers to leave the selection of the latter so loDg in doubt and we heartily recommend and urge that provision be made by statute to grant to boards the right, after May 1st, of any school year, to engage and contract with teachers for the next school year in incorporated towns and villages, for the next two school years in cities of the second and third classes, and for the next three school yeara in metropolitan cities and cities of tho first class. Fourth, that we are in hearty favor of such legislation as will bridge the chan nel between district and city schools on the one hand and the tfniversity on the other; of the total separation of city school elections from civil elections; and of providing for fees to be paid by those attending teachers' institutes. The following clause was presented by Superintendent Haupt to the committee on legislation and was adopted by them, but through an oversight it failed to be reported to the association: That we recognize the wisdom of the so-called, non-resident law, with the ex ception of the tuition, which scarcely pays for the wear of text-bookB. We respectfully suggest as reasonably equit able the following provision: That when persons of school age reside one and one-half miles or more from the school house in their own district and a half mile or more nearer to the school house in another district, both distances reck oned upon the nearest public highway, they may elect to attend school in such neighboring district, which shall receive from the district to which they belong a sum of money equal to the average cost per pupil in the district in which they attend, which shall be found by dividing the total expenses for the school year, exclusive of payments upon bonds and interest thereon, by the whole number of days all pupils attended, and multi plying the quotient by the number of days each of said non-resident pupils attended. per 1 amount of be pvd off 8100 at a I heneverNhe purchaser k spare.

ATWooi The North Nebnwka Teacher' Amociation Hold Their Eighth Aunual Session. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week, day and evening, Columbus was favored by tho genial presence of about three hundred superintendents, principals and teachers, members of the North Nebraska Teachers' Association. We had intended to be present during the entire session and make note of any thing of interest to the general public, but illness forbade this, so we must do the best we can from hearsay. Of course, we cannot enter into details, but only refer, in the most general way, to the subjects discussed which included the grading of rural schools; how to assist the teacher and estimate his ability; county institutes; .changes in school law (we give elsewhere the action with ref erence to this); concentration of Btndies; how to keep boys for advanced work in the high school a subject so ably pre-. sented by J. K. Stableton of Lexington as to draw out considerable discussion; what to teach in geography and how; illustrated talk on Delsarte this by Miss Lucie Raines of Lincoln was in tended to be a full exposition, by a large class of pupils, of the principles of the Delsarte system, and, althongh only a small class were present, there were enough to show tho beauties and bene fits of the system; the county high school, well presented by R. G. Mbssman of Madison, was ably discussed by Chan cellor Canfield; the illustrated system in art instruction by Miss Ethel Evans of Omaha, was well calculated to give the teachers who heard it an ambition to use the beautiful as one of the most potent means of improvement iu the useful; literature in the rural schools; study of government; for some reason A. W. Nor ton of Peru, who was present, did not give his illustration in morals, which is said to be very fiuo; the spirit of the teacher by Miss Austin of Central City was highly spoken of. The lecture by Judge Norris was a splendid effort for even the Judge, who is well known for his admirable way of saying good tilings. His theme was the United States as a moral empire. From first to last he had the closest attention of a large audience, and those who did not hear him miesed an intellectual treat. The lecture of Hon. Henry Sabin. state superintendent of instruction of Iowa, at the opera house Thursday even ing, was a constant succession of hits. His theme, Individualism, gave him opportunity to speak for the earnest, conscientious, faithful teacher and his work in the school room as against the domineering, tyrannical martinet in the office of superintendent, more concerned about percentages than progress. It was an address that every superintend ent, teacher and pupil would find profit in studying, and if we can prevail upon Mr. Sabin to let us have it we shall cer tainly publish it, as we can find Bpace. The oratorical contest resulted as fol lows, the first and second prizes being respectively a gold and a silver medal: Original, Charles H. True, Schuyler, "Arbitration," John Clark, Columbus, "Woman Suffrage"; Selected, Carrie Parks, Greeley, "Sheridan," Christine Larson, West Point, "Our Duty to Our Country"; Dramatic, Josephine Palmer, Blair, "Archie Dean," Delia Cook, Wayne, "Search for the Slain"; Humorous, Nona Bridge, Fremont, "Naughty Girl in a Hotel," Gypsie Alexander, South Omaha, "Tabitha Primrose on Woman's Rights." NOTES. The door receipts for the oratorical contest were 8134.10. Somelwdy defaulted in not having a piano at the church, for the musicians. Madison county got the Hag, a prize for having present the largest number of teachers 52. Columbus people did well in attending and furnishing good pay audiences for the contesting orators. I. H. Fisher of Pilger and J. A. Cmn mings of Elkhorn helped along wonder fully with their songs. Of course the ladies always excel in song. The oratorical exercises were too lengthy, and it was evident that in some ot the schools represented elocution is not a daily or. weekly study. W. K. Fowler of Blair, of the execu tive committee of the oratorical associa tion made a very successful manager, realizing a goodly sum for the treasury, after paying all expenses. The judges of classes one and four were T. R. Galvin, Atkinson; Louise Cleveland, Stanton, and P. J. Truman, North Bend; of two and three were A. W. Norton, Peru; P. J. Truman, North Bend, and W. G. Jones, Fullerton. Real Estate Transfers.

Mrs. Bovee claimed that be cause her husband was drunk he drove off a culvert and upset the wagon in which they wero riding and broke her arm. They had a cow in the wagon at the time of the accident. The jury ren dered a verdict of 870 against defend ants. Fremont Herald. Mr. Miller, son of James Miller, ex county commissioner, was accidentally shot in the arm last week. It seems he was preparing to move on to a place he had rented, nnd in taking the gun out of the wagon, he was in the act of pulling it towards him, when the hammer caught and discharged the contents of the gun in his right arm. It is impossible to state at this time whether the doctor can save his arm or not, the chances are against him. Stromsbnrg Headlight. From the Silver Creek Times of Fri day we clip: "At about noon day before yesterday Christian Piper, an old Ger man of about (JO years, who lived on an island in tho Platte below Silver Creek, was found dead suspended by the neck in the timber near his house on the river bank. His son William oamo to town and reported the matter as a case of suicide. Some of his statements and actions, however, raise a suspicion of foul plsty. Coroner Wetherell was down in the evening, but decided not to hold an inquest, in which decision wo are of the opinion that he made a very grave mistake." Walter Evans, the six-year-old son of Mr. W. G. Evans, of this city, was run over by a loaded wagon Tuesday near Marqnette, where he and his mother were visiting with her father, Mr. Ray nor, and was killed. Mr. Raynor had started with a load of corn to drive from Marquette to the home of his son, a few miles this side, and the little fellow was accompanying him. A sudden lurch of the wagon to one side threw tho boy out, and one of the wheels passed over his breast. lie lived about three hours. Mr. Evans, who is now at work at tho western terminus of the B. ,fc M. in Wyo ming, was notified by wire of tho sudden and terrible aflliction which had befallen his family, but, owing to tho condition of travel in that part of tho country, it is doubtful if ho will be able to get here. Central City Courier. The artesian well spoken of in this paper and found upon tho farm of W. R. Jones by E. J. Bacon, tho well man, over two weeks ago still continues to How without any cessation in volume of water or force. From a two inch pipe it dis charges over lf,000 gallons of water per day, as clear as crystal and soft as rain water, with such force as to carry it through a pipe twenty feet above the surface, which was as high as they had facilities for elevating the pipe, but it is claimed that it will force water much higher than this. The farmers are still confident that this section is undermined by lakes and subterranean passages which can bo tapped and an artesian well seenred on every quarter section of land, and a numhor have already made arrangements to begin work in this direction.
