That dynamite explosion is a pretty fair illustration of the condition to which the country has been brought by the democratic threat or free trade. Col. John A. Cockhkli, of New York rity, who is seeing the state under Col. Cody's care, says it is worth a trip to Nebraska merely to fill one's lungs with puro air. "We are engaged this year in a move ment to keep our business at home. We have discovered that if we do not keep our business, it would not keep us." IMcKinley. WnEN McKinley was asked the other day in West Virginia, What about the force bill? he replied that the force bill was not concerning us these times, it was the board bill. Neai: Hyannis, Nebraska, last week, f,800 tons of hay wero destroyed by a prairie lire, supposed to have been set by a drunk man with a pipe. One man was burned to death while lighting the tire, and another is not expected to live. 'What I'd like to know," said a Whittier school boy a few days ago to his teacher, '"is how the months of rivers can be so much larger than their heads." The teacher referred the inquisitive learner to Hilly Bryan. Kearney Jour nal. A veuv sharp earthquake shock drove people from the large buildings at San Diego, Cal., Tuesday moraing of last week. A slight shock was felt at Los Angeles, and at Campo, a small town on the Mexican border, the shock was very severe. "Bi.ATHEitsKiTK Devine" has been the epithet applied to the populist candi date for congress right along by the Columbus Telegram. It is "fusion" when it is your man that is running but "confusion" when the other side wants their man. If Fnllerton has got any local pride they would give Frank Penney every vote in the city. lie will not only make a creditable representative, but will bo a credit to Fnllerton and Nance county while his opponent but we drop the curtain. Genoa Leader. Reciprocity, republican reciprocity is the truo nolicv to be pursued bv our government in its intercourse with other nations, but the democratic party are determined to undo everything in that way that the republicans have accom plished, if they tire not foiled. The report of pension commissioner shows that during the last fiscal year the names of H7,t51 pensioners were dropped from the rolls. This is one of the reasons why no man who served in the Union army can afford to vote the democratic ticket. J Seward Blade. Fifteen of the most prominent physi cians of Kankakee, 111., have had dem onstrated to them that hypnotism can be used in surgical operations with great success. Prof. Roach did the hypnotis ing, using several men as subjects, the physicians applying tho strongest tests. WnERE there is work for the hands of men. there will bo work for their teeth. Where there is employment there will l)e bread. Employment feeds and clothes and instructs. Constant em ployment and well-paid labor produce in a country like ours, general prosper ity, content and cheerfulness. Daniel Webster. PniLiiirs, the man who committed the dastardly deed last week in Norfolk, was held to the district court, his bond fixed at $2,000, in default of which he was sent to jail. It seems that he was tho teacher in Merrick county who ravished a little girl 13 years old, but was releas ed because of there not being evidence to convict. at least so writes the sheriff of Merrick count'. Here is tho correct explanation of the denial of Mr. Holcomb that he ever was an attorney for the Burlington railroad. Mr. Holcomb had a partner named Kil patrick and it was the latter who was the wicked man of the firm. Kilpatrick was the Burlington's attorney dividing his earnings with Holcomb as partners always do. Kilpatrick got two passes and divided with Holcomb. When Mr. Holcomb, the candidate for governor of the only truly good, puro and upright political party now on earth (as the lnte Mr. Barnum would have said), stood oyer by the court house a couple of weeks ago and solemnly denied that he had ever been employed by the Bur lington he forgot to say unything about I "my partner, .Mr. luipatncK. ueneva i Atctviniey s pungent talks upon the pro Bepublican. tective policy. Thomas J. Majors, the republican nominee for governor, is a man well known over the state. He resides at Peru, is a married man and has an in teresting family of children. He has a record of five years as an officer in the war of tho rebellion, and twenty years experience as congressman, legislator, lieutenant-governor, etc. In 1S73 ho was elected contingent con gressman from Nebraska and sent to Washington to demand that congress should give Nebraska representation. He went there and made an earnest effort, but was unsuccessful. The peo ple were satisfied with his efforts and returned him for a second term. Then they demanded that he should go back the third time, and in the meantime elected him to fill the unexpired term of Hon. Frank Welch in the 45th con gress. Comrade Majors was again elected as contingent congressman for the fourth time, but never took his seat. He was elected a member of the territorial coun cil of Nebraska, and served in the 12th and 20th sessions. He was again elect ed state senator and served in the sec ond, third, fourth and fifth sessions. He was elected and served as a member of the lower house in tho 21st session, and elected lieutenant-governor in 1891, and re-elected in 1893, and is the pres ent incumbent. Undoubtedly there are many republi cans whose first choice us a nominee for governor was not Majors, but a conven tion of the party having named him as the standard bearer in this campaign, most of these will vote for Majors, and indeed the entire republican state ticket, rather than seek a doubtful method of applying party discipline. If every voter in tho state could be come personally acquainted with Gov. Majors uo believe that his vote would be greatly increased. He is very affable and agreeable and as chief executive would be "one of the people" all the same. Koyal P. Drake. At our request, a personal acquain tance of the republican candidate for county attorney, one who has known him from boyhood, lias furnished the follow ing brief sketch of his life. The people of Platte county will make no mistake in selecting Mr. Orako as their county attorney: Royal P. Drake was born in Muscatine county, Iowa, about '.V years ago. His father enlisted in the army at the break ing out of the war and was killed in tho service of his country. From the time he was largo enough to work hard neces sity required him to earn his own living and help his widowed mother which lie did by working at any kind of work he could" get. By diligent work on his books at night :.nd attending common school in the winter season he received a good education and with what money lie could lay up completing his course in higher schools. Ho then taught in country schools where he was so highly successful that he was asked to take tho principalship of tho high school tit Atta lissa, Iowa, which he resigned to accept tho more responsible and lucrative posi tion tis principal of the high school of Wappelo, Iowa. Being ambitious and desiring to take to the practice of law, he refused the position any longer, although tendered and urged to retain it, at a great ly increased salary. Ho read law with Ho'j. .1. J. Russel and the firm or Hoffman A- Jayne. loading law firms of Muscatine, Iowa. Was admitted to supremo court of Iowa and Nebraska and has practiced in Nebraska for seven years. He was postmaster of Humphrey, Neb., under tho Hairison administration, which position he held till February 1st. 1894. He is one of the leading business men of Humphrey and has the respect and confidence of all who "know him. There is one candidate in the field this fall, against whom not a word is or can bo said by any man. On tho con trary, all voters, whether republican, democrat or populist, unite in cordial words of praise of Eugene Moore, the republican candidate for state auditor. In this part of the state especially, where he is well know n and where he has hun dreds of warm friends in every party, the vote in hia favor will be very large, probably far ahead of that of any other candidate on his ticket. That the confi dence of voters in voting for him will be well founded, mn bo seen by considering the faultless manner in which ho has conducted tho auditor's office during the past two years. In brief, aa is well known, his office has never before been more ably administered and its duties more skillfully, carefully and conscien tiously performed. Add to this his cordial friendship, kindness of heart ami nobility of character, all well known to tho people of this and the other coun ties in northeast Nebraska, and it will bo aeon that voters will naturally, and with out reference to party, bo induced to consider him with favor on election day. They will thus be able to vote, at least, for one whom they know, and know to be fully competent for tho office he aspires to. "Vote for Eugene Moore for audi tor," is a maxim which will not sound unpleasantly to his old friends in Dixon county. Ponca Journal. Prof. -II. R. Coititirrr r York eeptionaliv good man to plae s an ex- at the head of school affairs in the state. The superintendent has a wonderful influ ence in stimu'.iting all subordinate offi cials to duty. Mr. Corbett, the republi can nominee, has received nothing bill commendation from those who know him. Editor Howard of the Schuyler Sun. who is also superintendent of schools for Colfax eountv, has this tosav of Mr. Corbett: "He is tho almost unanimous choice of the teachers of tho state for this office and in justice to educational interests the voters should be influenced some by this choice. Mr. Corbett is the choice of not only the district teachers, but of nearly every city superintendent ami high school man in Nebraska, because they are thoroughly acquainted with him and his work as an educator and know him to be qualified. Remember these facts and be guided by them some what when yon vote for this office." There is a coolness between the pop ulist and democratic committees of this district. Judge Hensley. in accepting tho nomination, states that there was an understanding between the two commit tees that if the democrats indorsed Hol comb. tho populist committeo would in duce Devine to withdraw, and tho full strength of tho populist party would be cast in favor of the democratic candidate. In reply to this "understanding" Devine publishes a letter in the World-Herald denying that the populist committeo ever agreed to enter into an alliance with the democrats of this district. Devino further states that he is a middle of the road populist and will remain in the field. While Hensley and Devine are wrangling over the alleged "under standing'Meiklejohnisgainingstrength daily, and preparing to defeat both the opposing candidates by a larger plurality than ho did Keiper and Poynter two years ago. (Norfolk News. Let every man who has tho right to cast a ballot do his own thinking on the issues and the men seeking his suffrage. It is your government as it is any one man's, and besides your own there is the common welfare to consider. Above all the years since C0. 6V it is a year and a time for republicanism, policies of gov ernment which look to the effect upon our industries, one and all. Senator Jones of Nevada put the situation in a nutshell when he declared the question to be. Shall the republic do its own work? The republican answer is. Yes. McKinleys tour through West Vir ginia last week was a series of very enthusiastic receptions, men and women turning out by hundreds and thousands to hear him. Along the Ohio river there are a great many mills, and the men who had been at work in them under repub lican and under democratic administra tion, were fully nrenared to aDnreciate ted at Chicago. Last Tuesday noon Tom Reed Bpoke to two thousand cowboys, horsemen, cattle men and packing-house employes at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago. Wo give a portion of his speech: I think it is of little necessity to make a speech to you, from the fact that a good many of you have lately been doing a great deal of thinking for yourselves. Applause. Somo of j-ou haven't had much of anyftiing else to do, laughter and applause,jowing to thelittle sin of omission or commission which took place in the year 1892. Laughter and applause. In the year 1892 this was a prosperous and a successful nation, but we followed the old scriptural text which says: "Jeshurun waxed fat and kicked" great applause and laughter,J and it is a peculiar thing that it is in times of great prosperity that the peo ple of Israel, or the people of the Lord, and the people of the present age are apt to kick and kick things over. Con tinued laughter. THE DIFFERENT STYLES OF AROnMEXT. Well, you have done it. Laughter. You have done it, and here you are at the bottom of the hill, and the question is, how shall you get back? There are a good many ways of arguing the question. In the old days tho man of prominence used to get up and tell the people what he thought, and the people were then very apt to do what the wise man Baid. Laughter. But by and by tho people began to think for themselves and wanted to know the reason why, and consequently the wise man had to argue with them. Laughter. The wise man had to appeal to the good knowledge of all. Laughter. He had to discuss questions, and the result was that those who had the moat convincing arguments generally prevailed. For thirty years argument has been enough, and it has kept our peoplo in their places. But at the end of that period it was not quite sufficient. Argument has its foundation, after all. in human expe rience, and in human knowledge, and a generation had passed away since the lazy democratic rule of this country, and wo had forgotten all about the priest of Baal. Laughter. We didn't think there were any more of them living at this time. Laughter. We said to our selves, "Lo and behold, wo have been prosperous, lo, for thirty years." What are thirty years? Thirty years is a period which covers a generation of man. Since the days of James Buchanan and Robert J. Walker a whole generation has passed away from the face of the earth. And we had forgotten what we knew then, and we have been obliged to learn it since. Applause. But how have wo learned it? Who has been our instructor for the last two years? THEORY VERSUS PRACTICE. We have not been listening to the ar guments from men, but to something more important. Did you ever know the difference between theory and fact? I don't know that I do, but 1 will try to tell you tho difference between theory and practice. The difference between theory and practicois that theory com prehends all a fellow can get into his brains and practice comprehends all tho things there are. Wo have there in the patent oflice of the United States, which wo admire so much in Washington, thousands and tens of thousands of de vices upon which men havo spent their money, and the great test of a man's belief in a thing is, will he put up his S1..")0 to back his belief. If a man be lieves in a thing he will put his money in it. And thero are thousands and tens of thousands of devices which were got up by a bright fellow who had given tho entire attention of his life to it, who had devoted all the experience of his life to it, and yet, notwithstanding all this, they were absolute failures when they were attempted to be put into opera tion. The result was that for some uu perceived cause something proved it all to be lost. Thousands, 1 repeat to you, tens of thousands of projects by tho wisest men have gone to ruin simply becaus very few. if any, men have suc ceeded in apprehending all tho things that are going to happen. TEACH I NHS OP SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS. Now our interesting inventors from the South, our Southern Democrats -you will notice 1 don't say "tho South" thank Clod they are not unanimous the way they were a while ago our South em Democratic masters have got un a beautiful theory, prosperous, we are iney saui: "vu are in a beautiful condi tion, but let us bo better off. If we could have our nice wages, and of course we will under thirty years of Republi can rule they havo been increasing from not over SI to $1.71 proportionately -we will keop all that, and then wo will go and buy some cheap British goods, and won't we be happy?" Laughter and applause. They did not reason. They did not think that whenever the British make their goods they do not, but whatever goods are made abroad don't pay any American labor, whatever goods are made abroad do not pay the American sujverintendent. whatever goods are made abroad do not harness our mag nilieent water power, whatever goods are made abroad ilo not take the coal out or our coal beds, whatever goods aro made abroad do not develop our great forces of nature, which are tho gift of God to man, and tho final source of human lalwr and all wealth and pros perity. Applause. They thought they eould buy British goods and have high American wages all the time. Well, now. that reminds mo of a Frenchman. Years ago they were agitating in France, saying how nice it would be to put all the property together and then divide up among all the people. They forgot that if we al! had the same prop erty today some fellow smarter than wo are would get away with a largo portion of our share tomorrow. Applause and laughter. They got that idea abroad, and under that division each Frenchman would have 0,000 francs. This old, gray-headed fellow said that, it would suit him. He said: "I havo looked it orer carefully, and with that 0,000 francs, added to the 12,000 that I have got now, it will make me happy forever." Great applause and loud laughter. FOLLOWING THE FRENCHMAN'S LOGIC Y'ou laugh. Well, some of you fellows in this very crowd have beendoing tint Frenchman's thinking, and you havo uug luaitery pit ior yourselves, and you are now holding on to the grass and try ing to pull yourselves out. Laughter and applause. But you will do it. Great and mighty is the United States of America, and thero is not stupidity enough in it to keep us back, although the Democratic party carries a large stock. Laughter and applause. I have said to yon the Southern Dem ocrats were in charge. I do not mean sectionalism. Heaven forbid. If the Southern Democrats have got a majori ty let them rule us, and let them have tho control. I believe if 100 men think one way and 101 men think the other way there is one chance to the good that 101 know better than the other fellows do. Applause. But I do not want to seo any ninety-seven fellows, either by the use of party machinery and the control of men who don't, be lieve with them, or by fraudulent elec tion, make llie sense of the ninety-seven snperior to the sense of the 101. Ap plause. Do you? Cries of "No, no." I thought not, Cries of "Never." I tell yon, what is the sense of our having elections if the votes cannot be honestly counted, if tho votes cannot be honestly cast? Applause. It is the very foundation of our institutions. It is our life, our blood, our brains. Ap plause, j vtiiat is lue use of our edu cating ourselves so as to be capable of filling high positions of trust if some clerk of little or no education mnnnrea 1 by fraud to make our voices nugatory?" Store or Less Personal. Lincoln Journal: When S. A. Hol comb came to Lincoln yesterday he was struck squarely between the eyes by the fifth page of The Morning Journal, con taining a full exposure of his chattel mortgage sharking in Custer county. He was a good deal dazed by tho blow and didn't know what kind of a story to put up to satisfy his friends. Finally it was circulated around in a feeble way that the fac-simile note published by Tho Journal didn't show that he had received more than 10 per cent per an num. No shark notes ever do show the full amount of interest. They are made to read "with interest from maturity until paid." The interest collected be fore "maturity" is the thing that knocks the poor man silly. Mr. Holcomb took all he could get and it was usually from 3 to 10 per cent a month. The proof? Well, there's oceans of it. Whole stacks of things like this, for instance: State of Nebraska, County of Custer. ss. I, John H. H. Cross, being first duly sworn, deposeth and saith, I came to Custer county in the year 1883, and homesteaded the northwest quarter of section (35) thirty-five, township (Iff), north of range nineteen (19), west. That my residence and postotlice address is Broken Bow Nebraska, aud that I am personally acquainted with Silas A. Holcomb, the independent candidate for governor, and that prior to his election as judge he was an attorney and a chat tel loan broker. That tho said Silas A. Holcomb mado a practice of loaning money at usurious interest and loaned me money at 30 per cent per annum on several occasions, and at one particular time he loaned me money at straight 10 per cent por month, or 120 per cent per annum. That I lost my farm and about everything that I owned by doing busi ness with the money sharks, and that now in my old age about the only means I have to support myself and family is a small pittance that I receive in the wav of a pension. That I served three years in company H, Thirty-first Iowa infant ry. That in taking security in chattel loans the said Silas A. Holcomb was very exacting and generally wanted a mort gage on everything the borrower had, and further affiant saith not. John H. II. Cross. Subscribed and sworn to bv John H. II.

The Washington Post, an independent Democratic newspaper, in commenting upon tho result of tho olectiou in Maiuo and elsewhere, says: "The result is what thoughtful aud intelligent peoplo of all parties had expected. The figures aro a little larger Jhan some aud a little smaller than others had counted on, but the effect is an overwhelming Republic an victory, aud that is what everybody had looked for." This seems to be the universal opinion expressed by all reliablo newspapers in tho country, whether Democratic, Re publican or independent. Our country is always intelligent and patriotic. Tho peoplo are seldom mistaken. They can be relied upon in great emergencies, and it is clear that they have determined to accept tho Republican party as tho safest, the wisest and tho most whole some custodians of the national welfare, and all may look without disappoint ment for a great victory in the coming election this fall. FlltST EFFKCTOF THE INCOME-TAX LAW. Dri'iisitttP ill Savin-: Hank- Notified Draw Their Money. to Many of tho Connecticut savings banks have given notice to depositors having more than 10,000 to draw down their deposits so as to relieve the banks from the operation of tho income-tax law. A mile from Chippewa Falls, Wise, on the summit of a hill, were stored in a small building five tons of dynamite. Tt, is presumed that a rifle bullet fired by a hunter lodged in some or the pow der, causing an explosion. The ground was torn up to a great depth for some distance, while trees and fences for many rods wero torn and twisted and quite a number of trees were pulled up by tho roots. The glass in every farm house for miles around was shattered. In this city tho effect was disastrous to the plate glass fronts, and windows in numbers of dwellings were broken. The shock camo while peoplo were on their wav to church and threw women and children down and caused several women to faint. Tho village of Bloom er, twelve miles distant from the scene, appears to havo felt the force more severely than here. Tho scene of the disaster was visited by thousands today. A handkerchief and pieces of a coat sleeve were found about fifty rods away, and they are thought to bepart of the clothing of Paul Broher. sm Austrian, who was seen going in the direction of the magazine a short time before the explosion. Prof. Corbett, tho republican nomi nee for state superintendent of public instruction, is commended by practical educators in this state as a man of su perior attainments in tho line of public school work. Ho has for years been in active training for tho work which de volves on a state superintendent and is therefore well equipped for the position to which he aspires. Mr. Corbett is, moreover, a man of unimpeachable in tegrity and stands high in the commu nity where best known. -Omaha Bee. The damage by tornado near Arkan kas City, Kansas, Saturday week, turns out to be greater than at first supposed. The property loss was about SloO.000. Between Salt City and Winfield, a stretch of country with many fine farms, many lost part or all of their crops. One family got into their cyclone cave and had just closed the door when their dwelling-house toppled over on them, and they were imprisoned for twelve hours, but escaped without suffering injury. A large Hungarian boarding house at Laurel Run, Pennsylvania, was blown to atoms by dynamiters at 3 o'clock Sunday morning last. Three men wero killed aud eight dangerously injured. Twenty-four sticks of dynamite were placed under the building, each being nine inches long and weighing a half pound. Half of the sticks exploded, and not a beam or plank of the building was left standing. Joseph Hendischier, of Ingraham, Clay county. New York, has been under treatment at the Pasteur institute for the bite of a mad dog seven months ago. While walking in the park last Tuesday he took a drink of water which at once brought on rabies; and he endeavored to bite everybody near'him. It took three policemen and a half dozen citizens to overpower him. He was finally taken to a hospital and strapped to his bed. Dissatisfied populists of Wyandotte county, Kansas, have asked for an in junction to restrain the populist leaders from fusion with the democrats. Thirty three middle-of-the-road populists sign ed the petition and they state that their county ticket was nominated with tho understanding that there should be no fusion, and that snch a move would be a fraud against the people and an irrepara ble damage to the party. Anderson, Indiana, is having an epi demic of black diphtheria. It is raging and on tho increase, and 25 per cent of the cases are fatal. A fine of S100 will be imposed upon physicians who fail to make prompt reports in the future. Cit v schools are aot in session, it is probable that the state board will order schools in other gas belt cities closed, and the situation altogether is alarming. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS. A Monument Is to Be Erected to the Sug ar Trust Tariff. Proposals for the erection of a monu ment to the Sugar trust tariff are now being prepared and will bo sent out at an early day. The site upon which the shaft is to be erected has not yet been selected. Buzzard's Boost has a delega tion now at tho national capital press ing their claims for tho honor. Hon. Bourke Cockran of New York is to head a body who will soon visit the White House and try to persuade the chief ex ecutive that this pedestal or shaft should be erected somewhere in the state of New York, as the Sugar trust tariff never could have become a law had it not been for the Democratic congress men in that state. Several western site3 have been select ed, notable among them the site of Au rora in Indiana, a thriving, prosperous business place, where sugar has already advanced 1 cents per pound since the passage of the bill. It is currently ru mored that if this monument should be erected there Mr. Holmau will devote considerable time in the next session of congress in trying to secure an appro priation in the house of representatives for the same. His reputation as a mod ern reformer will no doubt go a long way toward securing the desired end. There seems to be somo difficulty about a proper design. Some contend that the shaft should support a medal lion of Mr. Carlisle, as ho was instru mental in securing tho present schedule by his wonderful influence over the com mittee having the bill in chargo in tho senate. Others claim that the shaft would bo incomplete if it did not sup port a pedestrian statute of Grover Cleveland, for it is acknowledged on all sides that tho Sugar trust has found in him its best and most earnest friend. It is supposed, however, that tho design for the pedestal will not bo selected un til after the tith of November, as a spe cial meeting, which takes place on that day, may in some mcasuro affect tho enterprise and lessen the zeal of those who aro so earnest in commemorating this important event which has pleased tho country so much in tho last 30 days. The public is requested to be on the lookout for further notice of thess proposals. SugKi- l'liinters Aronscd. Sinco tho passage of the Sugar trust tariff the planters of Louisiana, who havo devoted their energies for more than 100 years to the production of sugar, aro now up in arms everywhere. The Democratic party with all its pres tige is not able to restrain this uprising. These planters and the thousands of peo plo dependent upon them, together with lawyers, bankers, brokers, merchants, manufacturers and representatives of labor in all departments, havo signified by the lato uprising and the splendid organization they aro perfecting their intentions of rofutiug the Sugar trust tariff enacted by tho lato Democratic congress. Better things aro yet to come. Tho people are to bo congratulated. Shams and professions will no longer answer the purpose. Tho people cannot be deceived. Protection and sugar pro duction are handmaidens in our great industrial country, anil tho party who strikes down this great enterprise can not remain in power. Louisiana will be represented in the next congress by men who cannot be persuaded to strike down the sugar industry. . t ROAST BEEF AND STUFFING. Congressman Wilson Is Dined Iu London, but McKinley Is Cheered at Hume. Congressman Wilson, tho noted ex ponent of freo trado in tho United States, was banqueted last month by the chamber of commerce iii Loudon. This is an honor conferred by tho Brit ish iu recognition of the very valuable services rendered their country in the congress of tho United States through the efforts of Mr. Wilson and his allies in framing a tariff bill to favor foreign manufacturers. It is a significant fact that the author of the McKinley law received tho com mendations of his own countrymen, while the free trade champion is lion ized abroad. By aiding in the reduction of tariff duties Mr. Wilson has given great im petus to English manufactures aud caused much depression to those of bin native land. It is quite natural that the London chamber of commerce should rejoice, but it is unnatural that any true American should share iu such a celebra tion. Yet in the list of invited guests were the names of Embassador Bayard, Mr. Secretary Morton, Congressman Is ador Straus and other prominent Amer icans. They doubtless shouted them selves hoarse with tho happy Britons over tho great good luck that has befall en the united kingdom and tho corre sponding ill fortune that has befallen their native country. THE PENSION BUREAU. Judge Ixcliren' Xew Order Takes Advan tage of the Old Soldier!. An order just issued by Judge Loch ren is to the effect that where a soldier now applies for a pension, if iu his ap plication he should not specify clearly and definitely the nature of tho disease for which he is to bo pensioned, his claim is to bo rejected and no notice taken of it For example, if the soldier believes ho is suffering from heart trou ble and applies for a pension upon the statement that he has heart trouble, and upon examination by a medical board it is found that he is suffering from gas tric or other stomach affection, whereby the heart may be in sympathy, tho claim is disallowed because he has not properly stated his case. Or if he ap plies for a pension on tho ground of rheumatism, and tho examining board find that he has neuralgia, then his claim is to be disallowed. The pension office, from tho close of tho war to the present time, has always been liberal in allowing a correction to be made in the original application, where technical or other defects were found in describ ing the cause of disability. This is a further proof of tho love and affection or good will of the Democratic party toward t men who saved the nation iu her hour of peril. Of course the soldiers will vote tho Democratic ticket this fall. Follow the Good Kxainple. Maine's M.000 Republican plurality for governor, her pluralities for Repub lican congressmen, ranging from 8,000 to 10,000, exceed anything ever known in the history of the state. Thero is a direct relation between such pluralities and the ignorance, incompetency aud un-American policy of the present Democratic administration. Other states will do likewise. Down on the Old Soldier. The old soldiers' pensions were cut down by almost $30,000,000 during the last session of the Democratic congress. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. DIED Gebbard Friday last. Oct. 20, at 2 o'clock p. m., at Monroe, Nebraska, Mrs Adaline Gerrard, in tho eighty-eighth vear of her acre. Mrs. Gerrard was born at New Bedford Massachusetts, July 11,1806. At the age of nineteen she was married to Mr. Joseph Gerrard, with who-a she lived happily until his death in 1S70. Some time after marriage she united with the Presbyterian church and ever remained a consistent and useful mem ber, taking a lively interest in church affairs all her long life. A portion of her early married life was passed in New York city, after which the family moved to England. Koturning to the United States in 1&18, they settled in Illinois; to Nebraska, at Monroe, in 1859; to Columbus, in 1S70. For the last few years she has made her home with her children. Among the earlier settlers of the coun ty she wa3 very well known, and all who onjoyed her friendship, admired her for her many graces of mind and heart. Sho loaves six living children to mourn the irreparablo loss of a mother, gone beforo them to the Summer Land: Mrs. W.T. Strother, Mrs. Bobley. Mrs. Charles Zeigler, Leander, E. A. and F.II. Gerrard. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church, this city. Mouday af ternoou at 2, ltev. Dr. Elliot t officiating. His text was taken in 1 Cor., chaptor xiii, verso 12, "For now wo seo through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." Tho natural craving of the soul for knowledge which cannot be fully satisfied hero was dwell ed upon; tho many mysteries of the ways of the Lord with his servants will bo fully revealed, when we shall know even as also wo are known. The knowledge of CJoiI, starting as a rivulet with Adam, enlarging through the days of Abraham, was consummated in the days of Christ, in tho great sea of God's oternal king dom, tho over beautiful fountain of life, love and light for tho soul. While wo do not seo hero the hidden Weaver who brings out tho bountiful pattern of per fected humanity, we yet have sufficient revealed us, clearly and plainly, to lead us into tho path of life and "up to the gate of heaven. Wo ask ourselves why God permitted death seemingly to reign over mankind anil become victor, and why even Christ appeared to go down under tho power of death, but it was better that his body should go into tho grave, and that thus Christ "show his triumph over all, tho very worst, enemies of mankind. licv. Bross assisted in the services, tho scripture lesson being the ninetirth psalm. Mrs. Garlow sang a beautiful solo, the choir also rendering appropriate hvmns. The pall-bearers were J. N. Tay lor. John Elliott, Albert Covert, W. A. McAllister, James Naylor and M. Whit moyer. At the grave luv. Elliott offered a heartfelt prayer, and tho body was gently consigned to its last resting place. Sorrowing relatives anil friends can truly say: "A iireeiotw out from Ur lin K"K', A vostv v.i litieil N ntillol: A ulace is meant in our tiniiii Which never can Ik tilled.

Twenty-four years ago, this week, the following were among things referred to in Tin: Jorns.u.: An organization or Polk county to be effected shortly. Horaco Greeley favors the removal of the capitol to Xew York. One of thirty bricks of gold going east by express, valued at $11,000. West Point is to be the winter ter minus of the Elkhorn Valley road. Adler A: Heller advertised as wholesale dealers in wines, liipiors and cigars. Coal has gone up $1 on the ton owing to a rise in U. P. freights, making it $10. There will be thirty-four children ready to attend school in District i:J, west Columbus. The Pawnees havo received their annu ity, $-1 each, which would amount to perhaps $10,000. Dr. Ilcintz. veterinary surgeon, adver tised to be at .Stillman's drug store every Saturday, tho only drug store in town. " The Skt-edee band of Pawnees about to locate land on their Reservation (now iNauco county), pieparatory to farming. One of Tun JotTi:x.vis sayings: "Tho west is the poor man's hope and the rich man's opportunity." The Jon:N.i. wa3 then the only local weekly newspaper in general circulation in Platte, Butler, Polk, Madison, Stanton and Colfax counties. A letter dated from Genoa, Pawnee Reserve, in regard to the raising of sugar beets, contains the following: "I am glad to inform you that last year I had a lot of the regular sugar beet seed sent too from the old country. I gave thorn to my father-in-law, Moses Welch of Shell Creek, who planted and cultivated them. They have done well, tho season was dry but the beets largo and good." School exercises in Mrs. Fifield's room were visited. The following children received rewards for scholarship; Harry Coolidge. Charlie Compton, Frank Wol fel and Mary Marmoy. The names of those not absent or tardy during the term were Anna Bremer. Claude Coffey, Mary Weaver, Kva Coffey, Sarah Hid, Valentine Weaver. There were ten oth ers absent only one day during tho term. In tho primar department for the week tho following had been perfect in attend since, conduct -iiid recitations: Anna Bremer. I'lconora Bremer. Hugh Comp ton. Eva it ut I John Coffey. Louise Hud son. Amu and K.idie Kelley. Mary fjiid wig, Mary Mullen, Mary and Sarah Mar moy, .Mary and George Matthews, Sam uel and Albert Rickly, Bertie Reagan, Freddio and Gussie Speice, Jennio and Valentino Weaver, Susan Wake. The children wore dismissed with a pocket full of apples each, a gift by one of the visitors, .Mr. Hudson. Irrigation Pitch. Last Wednesday Orlando Nelson of Richland made a filing in tho county clerk's oflice for a claim on the water flowing in tho Loup Fork river to the extent of i,000 statutory inches under a four-inch pressure. The point of diver sion is on tho southwest quarter of tho southwest quarter of section 17, town ship 17 north, range "J west, on bank of river .'! rods east of section line. The reason given for diverting the water is for irrigating in Monroe, Lost Creek, Shell Creek, Columbus and Risinark townships in Platte county, and the pre cincts of Richland, Shell Creek, Schuy ler and Grant in Colfax county, includ ing all the land between the bluffs on tho north line r Shell creek to the Loup and Platte. The ditch is to be seventy feet wide for tho first mile, thirty Teet thereafter until taken out by laterals, and then decreased as laterals are supplied. Such is the project, so far as developed to the public. , As near as we can gather from rumors the intention is to organize a construc tion company, not ask for any bonds to be voted in aid of tho enterprise, but the owners of land along tho lines of tho canal to enter into contract whereby on certain conditions being fulfilled they become the owners of the ditch in, say, ten years. It" is claimed that with the idea of a power dropped, the proposed canal for irrigation alone can climb higher on the bluffs and meander into the Shell creek valley, and accommodate more farmers on tho table land. Engineer R. W. Lawrence, who is now superintending a ditch in western Ne braska, is expected any day to look after preliminaries, and it is confidently ex pected that work will begin in a few weeks. From the scope of the filing it would seem to be the intention to make the water available for a number of small ditches in the valley. Coming upon tho heels of tho late project, this schemo is considerable of a surprise. It is The Journal's opinion that deep plowing and irrigation will settle our land problems, and if the people get the worth of their money by this or any other good scheme, all right. GCS.G.BECUKK.
