When taken out he waa.unconscious and died an hour later. ' The attention of Hon. E. C. Burns of Seribner is called to the fact that he : -will do. well. to resign his position as a pMtiibar of the legislature, in order that 'he may accept pay as a weighmaster at. the sugar .factory of the Oxnarda at Norfolk.

' J. X. Kiliaa. 'The importance.of the office of county : judge is' tod often overlooked. Men who . are devoting all their time and energies to the accumulation of property for their .'children-seldom stop to think that the -county court. is the medium through ."which all their accumulations will be distributed, to their heirs at law. Still less- frequently do.they stop to -think of .the numerous steps to be -taken in the .''settlement of an estate in order to make . aph settlement lasting and binding and , in order that the- title to their property : .may pass unclouded to their widows and : children. In. view of ' the vast -interests pausing under his administration and - the-careand accuracy required to settle ' an estate' properly, it is indeed a ques ' tion whether there is a more important . basce. inthe county than that of county 'judge. : r .J:-N."KUian, our candidate-for county 'judge,-is well 'known 'throughout the obunty.- '.While he is a German by birth ' -hV is thorough! V American in his sym '.pataiesand habits. 'He as a lawyer by profession and -is undoubtedly one- of the. most thoroughly educated men in h .-profession in the state. He is one; '-of- the careful,' painstaking - sort, and while he. appears in court lessfrequent-lr'than-some others, the cases in "which lie .procures settlements, and. compro- .nuses aniong his' countrymen ' would saake quitea 'docket in" themselves. A thoroughly educated lawyer,' of sober, careful and painstaking habits, we' feel - satisfied that' if elected, he will fill the important office of county judge with . credit to himself -"and to-the satisfaction ' of the people. Mr. Kilian is one of that class of men who take care- to execute trusts 'spec, ially confided to them by their fellow eitkebs, and -this, is the class of men seeded for public functions men who know their duty and -do'the same fear-: kaaly; in the interests of the general public .'"They may not always agree with-you ia opinion,' or as to public policy, but -they -fill public functions as the. law 'directs and take personal pride in doing their, duty. This quality is one. that cannot with .'safety, be .omitted from the makeup of the judge, and when people vote for their judiciary with any. 'other motive in view than that. of. the public interest as "coaserved - in - each individual's right before the law of the bind, they are mak- jaf yetj '.grave mistake. Judicial in tegrity prssetfves all oar legal rights; all eir -social rights; all the free institu tions me enjoy. . . .We feel sure, that Mr. Kilian will be clnrtfid judge; that he will serve very faitafally aad. well, one term (at. the farthest two), and deliver aver hieoalce aasor with honor to hiaiaelf ; credit to bis friends.

The week of anprecedented hospitaliry and good will in connection with the S9th annual en campment of the G. A. R. closed with sadness. Even the burning sun became shrouded with dark clouds today. While the funerals of the five victims of Wednesday's explosion were in progress fully 100 were suffering some injuries from the oollapee of the grand stand during the display of- fireworks last OOVMANDEn-IN-CniEF IVAX TS. .WALKER. night. The stand that collapsed was the one set apart for Louisville people; Those from a distance who were injured were for the most part guests of Louis ville people.. -The hospitals are full of -patients suffering from the effects of heat and injuries received at the acci dent last night. At the hospitals all are' reported as doing well. Reports from 50 or more homes,- where the injured are being cared for, all are doing well today except Mrs. S.

The National Association of ex-Prisoners of War elected the following officers: President, George W. Grant of Minnesota; vice president, Charles F. Sherrill of Pennsylvania; chaplain, John S. Ferguson of Iowa; secretary and treasurer, S. -W. Long of New Jersey. The next reunion of the G. A. R. will be held in St. Paul in 1890 with Colouel L N. Walker of Indianapolis as commander-in-chief. At yesterday's session A. W. Ketcham of Iudiaua, presented the name of Colonel L A. Walker of In dianapolis for comniauder-in-chief, as a reward of that fearless loyalty that saved the nation. He was a mau who stood firmly when unmerciful disaster seemed to follow faster and faster on the armies. He had fonght at Richmond, Perryville and suffered in prlsou. T. S. Clarkson of Nebraska said his department had presented his name as a candidate for commander-in-chief. He would, how ever, decline to be a caudidate against Comrade Walker, and moved that the rules be suspended and the adjutant general be instructed to cast the vote of the convention for Walker. Mr. Clark -son's action produced a thunder of ap plause. The motion prevailed with a hurricane of cheers. When order was at length restored Commander Lawler formally declared Colonel Walker eleoted. He directed some comrades to escort the new com mander to the platform, which was done amidst enthusiastic cheers of the old veterans on all sides. Colonel Walker in a very brief address thanked his comrades for the honor conferred upon him. Iu the contest for senior vice commander, both the candidates were from Kentucky. Theywere Gen eral Hobson and Michael Miuton, Gen eral Hobson being elected. C. A. Cos grove of Washington was elected junior vice commander' over J. O. Gregg of Montana. Coke Workers' Strike Ordered.

A report from Rosebud says Agent Wright had Hollow Horn Bear . put in the guard house. No resistance has been offered thus far pn the part of his friends. Al though some fear trouble it is known that Major Wright; who has been on that reservation since 1881, is au excell ent judge of Indian character and a man of unquestioned nerve, and as that quality is the one the Indians most re spect the. chauces are that this act will break up the rebellion against his authority. It certainly will if the police remain loyal, aud Major -Wright must have known they would before taking this step. Deputy Marshal Bray has just re turned from Rosebud and says Hollow Horn Bear was traveling over the reser vation, inciting the Indians to hostile demonstrations, when the agent locked him in the guardhouse.

Chal i Smyth Calls Atteattm ta RaactaieaU Dortae; Ist Year. EHCereace la Ofltelal Oplaleas la Ite gard to the Carey Law. Albcqueequk, N. M., Sept. 17. The fourth national irrigation congress openod here today with a large attend aucer Kansas, Nebraska, Texas,- Okla homa, Colorado, Utah, California and Arizona being represented. Delegates are present from many parts of Canada. William E. Smythe, chairman of the national commission, then addressed the convention as follows: "1 congraiulete yon, gentlemen, upon the record of tho most momentous' year in the history or irrigation as a moral and intellectual movement. Since we last assembled, the irrigation movement of Kansas, Nebraska and Texas has tri umphed in effective legislation. By legal enactments the me:i of the plains have recognized that irrigation west of ' the 100th meridian ia fundamental to agricultural prosperity. No man can overestimate the significance' of that recognition. It means a new Kansas, a new-Nebraska, a new Texas, It means sure crops and industrial independence, 'small farms and social opportunities. .Of the remaining states of the plains. South Dakota has preceded her sisters in the provision of irrigation laws, while North' Dakota and Oklahoma have each a well' organized public sentiment look ing to similar results. New Era Ja Western Progress. . ';The passage by congress in August, 1894, of the law granting 1,000,(00 acres of arid pnblic lands to each' of the de sert states called for the enactment of supplementary legislation, and furnished the occasion for a vigorous campaign before the legislatures of eight states. Wyoming, Colorado. Montana, Idaho, Washington and Nevada accepted the grant of 1,000,000 acres each, and all ex cept Nevada provided appropriations and administrative machinery to render the grant immediately operative. In' Oregon a vigorous effort was made to the same 'end but was defeated narrow- ly in the closing hours of the legislative session. The .laws enacted in accepting the Carey graut marks a new era in our western progress. CUP WILL STAY HERE. Duaravea Throws AwajrHls Last Chaaee to Captare It. New York, Sept. i.H. ;The interna tional .series between Defender and Valkyrie III for the America's cup is ended. On the whole it has been -an ex traordinary series, -and while the result is satisfactory to the American people two at least of the coutests that went to make up the match were not.. Defender won in a clean race on Saturday. On Tuesday last she crossed the line behind the English boat, but was awarded the race on a foul. Thutsdny Bhe had a walkover. And Thursday's occurrence was all the more unfortunate, not only because a great crowd had gathered to witness the struggle, but because the weather was such as to lead many -to suppose that of all days Valkyrie would' be in her element. Lord Dnnraven said, and he said it most emphatically, that he would withdraw his boat if au absolutely clear course was not provided. He claimed that dur ing the previous races his -boat had been greatly inter ferred with, .and-as every thing depended upon the outcome of the third of the .series, he adhered to that decision so closely that Valkyrie merely crossed the.startiugline and then' retired from the contest. WESTERN- BANKS TO THE " RESCUE. Haadred Million Gold Reserve Llaalt Is S..000,000 .Short. Washixutox, Sept 17. The true amount of the gold reserve at the close of business today was $95,843,042. Since the recent heavy shipments of gold set in the government has received a number of offers of gold in exchange for notes. This is particularly true of bauks in the northwest,, where small notes are in active demand in moving the grain crops. Other banks, appar ently disinterested, have offered gold in exchange for silver certificates. Several of the banks offered gold suspected of being a little under weight, as it was stipulated that it bo-received as its' face value.- Some of. the other conditions imposed by western banks could not be accepted, but in all cases where the gov ernment consistently could do so the offers have been accepted.

It was u long string that a street fakir on the corner of Main and Third streets threw out last night loaded with electric belts? to catch suckers. He was successful, for he strung- 3150 worth of "bites" on the rope and then pulled up -stakes and left for another green field.- Business men of the town who would be expected to be wiser in their day of generation, swallowed the bait whole and are today ashamed of their greedy desires that brought :them naught but the laugh they so richly deserved. It is said that many who on the 'first of the month were asked' to pay legitimate bills could not find a dollar to meet an honorable account,, were rich eno'ngh last night to give' a wandering fakir one or more' dollars for a piece of carriage leather, with two' tin disks' and a string of carpet binding which represented a belt. It is reported that Madison gave (in this way) the sum of S212 to the fakir, Wayne and Norfolk $150 and Columbus as much or more. And yet-there is a story, oft told of hard times, when home industries are in need of. protection or-improvement. In the above, the Norfolk Journal may have the correct amounts at the other places all right, but it was about 980 here that the sponge soaked up. The Corporal. We make no apology for this refer ence to .one of the beat animals that Nebraska has ever produced. So long us the speed of man's' greatest helper among the dumb animals is a consideration at all, there will be lively interest in such contests, and so long as they are conducted properly, conserving the best qualities of the horses themselves, they' will result in good to the species and to their-owners. The horse keeps side by side along with his master in the race onward and upward. Following is what the St. Joseph Gazette of Thursday last said of the race' there last Wednesday. Mr. Morse returned to his home in this city Saturday, and tells us that he won every race but one in which Corporal Was put since the season began: the 2:25 TROT. First-Heat A beautiful field started with as great' an array of horsemen behind them as could be desired. The horses were ready ror tne word as soon as they came on the tracks, and there was.no delay in starting, making 'it one of the events. . At the start Lula F. led to the turn, where Chrysolite took the lead; followed by Corporal and Belmont. These three went down the back neck and neck and to the turn, where the pace was forced up, and Chrysolite went up. The Corporal took first place and was crowded down the - home . by Chrysolite and Ella Belmont who pushed, the' pace, red-hot, but could not take the coveted place. They finished: The Cor poral first, Ella Belmont - second,1' Chrysolite 'third, Pat L. fourth and Time, 33 1-4, 1:0G, 1:40 o o.iii.o Second Heat This was one of the pretty heats of the day, for it was a con test for blood. Corporal was the favorite, but he was pushed. At the start Belmont led, bnt Corporal went after her. Down the back Kit L. took a hand and chased down to the turn, where he necked Corporal and 'left Belmont. Down the home the two fought for every inch, and it ' was - neck and neck to the wire, where Corporal managed to go under a neck ahead, Fat L. second, Chrysolite third, Lula F. fourth and Ella Belmont fifth. Time, :33 1-4, 1:05 3-i, 1-39, 2:13 1-4. Third Heat A surprise awaited the talent here for Pat. II done the push.
