Much damage has been done to the corn crop by the land being Hooded. Carrig & Lynch cut their alfalfa this week and off from one and three quarter acres they cut seven and a half tons. Alfalfa makes the very best of hav and but a small acreage is required in raising a big crop, says the Platte Center Signal. Saturday week Ed.

Three carloads of lumber are at the site for the head-gate, and work will proceed right along. Charles Willis was admitted to the bar at an examination held in Lincoln three days of last week. He was one of fifteen who began the examination, ten of whom continued through it. Seven passed. I. L. Albert of this cily is one of the state board. Mr. Willis, by the way, was the youngest member of the class as well as among the best posted.

A team of horses belonging to Wm. Rightmire ran away last Saturday morning. They started at the post-office and ran straight for the big window in Pollock's drug store. They were stopped however by the iron hitching post on the walk which was pulled out of ground. One horse fell with bis fore feet through the small window over the basemenL The lumber wagon was badly wrecked and one horse cut, but not seri ously. Vacation is coming and with, it, es pecially for children living in the larger places, hours of enforced idleness to spend on the streets. To obviate this evil the boards of education in many of the cities are providing vacation schools. These schools furnish manual work for the boys and instructions in housework and sewing for the girls. They plan under the chaperonage of teachers to give frequent excursions to surrounding points of interest. By thus inciting the boys and girls to use their eyes and ears they will be able to "catch on" to many things of value in practical life. This is the right kind of "good citizenship." I (Fremont Tribune. Bring your orders for job-work to this office. Satisfaction guaranteed, and work promptly done, as agreed upon. TnE Jouexatj editor is in receipt of an invitation to attend the celebration of the-Twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Omaha Bee, June 13th. A quarter of a century, perhaps not ex ceeded by any other known to the his tory of mortal men, for the advancement of the race in every direction in which tuo Jieo bas been a very important fac tor for its locality. The increased demand for window glass the last two weeks brings out the fact that there are factones with 218 pot capacity in operation at New Kensing ton, Wilmington, Del., Norristown, Pa., Dunkirk, Alexandria and Pendleton, Ind., and Ithaca, N. Y., and all the inde pendent factories have been encouraged by the unexpected demand. It is, in deed, "an ill wind that blows nobodv good." The Boston Comic Opera Co. is a guarantee attraction bv our militia hoys. It is well worth the money and every body ought to patronize it. Don't forget.the date, Monday, June 22, 1896. Reserved seats ?5c; gallery 50c. We were afraid that Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gerber would find trouble going home Saturday week while the water was high. Ono of their team was young and inexperienced, got down into the water, scrambled around, interfered with the other and was tramped on, but there were helpers near and the combination got out of the water. The young horse, however, died the same night, having got water into its lungs. A sad accident, resulting fatally, happened to Miss Martlia Brunboeffer in Omaha hist Saturday. She was on a porch twelve feet high, which fell with her, injuring her so that she was uncon scious until shortly Itefore death, which took place Sunday. The parents went down Saturday and returned yesterday with the body. The deceased was twenty-two years old, and the family have the sincere sympathy of their friends in their sore affliction. To form the beginning of a fund for finishing the basement of Grace Episcopal church, a concert will be given at the Congregational church, on Friday evening, Juno 2G. Tickets 35c, children 20c.

Reports of the army worm coming continue to be heard and now they are well over the Platte valley in this county. Those reporting them are: John Prokes, S. S. Green, Robert Grav, J.N.Hill, C. W. Likes, G. H.Moore, Charles Bailey and others. The worms have done considerable damage already, especially to the rye which- they have cleared of leaves and eaten the heads badly. Corn is taken clean by them and oats damaged badly. The farmers are lighting them and with some success. Ditches are made along the fields by plowing deep and at intervals iu the furrow holes are dug. The worms get into the ditches and being unable to crawl out travel along and get into the holes where they are prisoners for life. Some of tho farmers have used Paris green and London purple dissolved in water and that kills them. The worm comes from a moth that lays the egg. The worm is reported bad in eastern states and is said to follow dry seasons. Schuyler Quill. John Currie, sculptor of Lincoln, was in the city Saturday last in further ance of a great work upon which he is engaged a statue of Abraham Lincoln, the martyr president. It is to be I) feet, G inches in hight, and the model has been prepared iu plaster. It is G feet, 4 inches in hight, and has had the approv al of Robert Lincoln, as a good repre sentation of his father in I860. Gov ernor Holcomb and ex-Governors Thay er and Boyd very heartily endorse Mr. Curries work. The sculptor is an old time resident of Nebraska and an old soldier, and besides is an enthusiastic artist and patriot. He says that Lin coln wasG feet 4l4 inches in hight and weighed 280 pounds. The statue and pedestal will be 21 feet high and will be placed on the capitol grounds at Lin coln. FiTty-fonr tons of marble have been donated for it by T. S. Godfrey of Knoxville, Tennessee. It will take probably a year and a half to complete the work, and we have faith to believe that it will honor the state and do honor to Mr. Currie. At a conference held here Monday all the counties of this congressional district were represented. Considerable enthusiasm was shown. The advocates of the free coinage of silver, 1G to 1. un limited, are surely in earnest, and while there was considerable talk as to what ought to be done, the result reached was that another conference is to be held at Norfolk, July 28, to name a man for con gress who will be presented to the con ventions of four political parties for nomination: the prohibitionists,, popu lists, democrats and republicans. Each county is to hold a mass convention of the silver forces and select 12 delegates, 3 from each party, to the Norfolk con ference. G. W. Phillips is the commit teeman for Platte county. Charles Wooster presided and J. W. Tanner was secretary of the conference. There were no set speeches, but among those who spoke to motions were Duffy, Hensley, Sullivan, Gerrard, Saunders, Schelp, Albert and Bruen, of Platte, Robison of Madison and Wells of Merrick. Peter Hill has sold his driving team to Columbus parties. This was beyond doubt the finest span of carriage horses in the county Mrs. George Erb was called by telegram from Alliance Satur day that her father, Mr. McCormick, of Grant precinct, was dying. He has been very low with dropsy for some time and all hopes of his recovery have been about given up although he was some better when Mrs. Erb arrived here The re porter took a ride yesterday with Theo dore Coles to the rye field of John Prokes east of town where the army worm has been at work. One cannot see so many now, they say, as several days ago but it is easily seen that much damage has been done to rye. Most of the blades on the stalks have been eaten and then the worms have crawled to the head of the stalk and eaten a part of nearly every grain on the head, proba bly from a fourth to a half of each ker nel. Many of the worms have moved north and begun to attack a corn field on the other side of the road but the owner went to work and plowed a small ditch along the side of the field and smoothed down the side next to the corn with a spade. The worms in their onward movements go into this ditch and not being able to get up the per pendicular side remain there, where thousands of them may be seen. A bird has appeared the last few days in large numbers which is eating thousands of the worms. One can see hundreds of these birds flying above the field and darting down every now and then to capture a good fat worm from the top of rye. These worms are about an inch and a quarter long and about an eighth of an inch in diameter Doctor Ste vens informs us that he will receive an X-ray light battery this week for exami nation and treatment of his patients.

Both winter and spring wheat is being damaged very much by rust. The school board are making an es timate of tho cost of a new building. Towser, the pet wolf on the hill, bit the dust last Wednesday night from causes unknown. Joe Drinnin says, his folks "had new potatoes on the 4th inst, and has had them every day since." The army worm is preying on the crops in Richland precinct, and has reached west as far as Fred Ketchmark's. -Cecil, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. V. Stevenson of Colfax, has had a tough time with a complication of pneumonia, lung fever and whooping cough but is much better. Watch the vines every morning or those pesky little striped bngs will de stroythem in a day. Our remedy is to pepper the vines with air slaked lime and sifted wood ashes mixed. If the weather continued for a few days like Sunday afternoon, rye and fall wheat harvest will be upon us before wo have finished the cultivation of corn, etc; the thermometer at this place reach ed 88' at G p. m. The destructive hail storm that passed through this place on the 5th inst., crossed tho Platte near its confluence with tho Loup. The western line of the destructive cloud in its course after crossing the rivers was at Mrs. Erb's farm on sec. 22, and diagonally through sec. 14. dividing sec. 12, same as 14, cross ing into Colfax county, at the se. of sec. 1. The destructive part continued about one mile wide east of the above line given. Rye, wheat, potatoes, flax, beans and tomatoes were nearly all de stroyed; most of the oats will grow up again. The hail was accompanied by a terrific wind and heavy downpour of rain. The storm came up before the farmers went into the field after dinner, and of course the plows were left just as they unhitched from them for dinner. We saw one cultivator Monday after the storm, and all that was visible, was the handles, top of wheels and upper part of the arch, all other parts being covered with earth and flood trash. Fred Muhl's new barn was moved about a foot from its foundation; Ed. Ketchmark lost the wheel on his mill tower, and many small buildings and out houses were blown over, but no very serious damage or loes of life, that we can learn. Low Sates to Cleveland.

Mr. Haney was born in Ireland in 1834. When he came to this country, he settled in Pennsylvania. In 1857 he came to Nebraska, locating on the farm, four miles east of Colurabns, which was af terwards his home during all these years. For some time there were only two houses between his own and Fremont. A few years ago, in the month of June, Mrs. Haney died, and Mr. Haney never recovered from the irreparable loss of his life companion. Some three and a half years ago, his horse ran away, throwing him to the ground, injuring him so severely that he never gained health and strength. The funeral was held Sunday, a large concourse of people following the re mains to the Catholic church, where services were held, and from there to the cemetery near bv, the pall bearers being Patrick Murray, Patrick Murphv, Dennis Sullivan, Michael Doody, John Powers and John Lackey. John Haney was a large-hearted man of generous impulses, devoted to his family and friends, and his departure will be sincerely mourned by his hun dreds of acquaintances.

Gentlemen: I have made a careful examination of the report submitted by Messrs Fodrea and Gedde. relative to my ac counts with the county, and belieie the same, so far as the total shortage is concerned to be cor rect, with tho exception of a clerical error on his naitof in the sum of three dollars, which would leave the total shortage ?!.90.BI. instead of $3, 903.04, as shown by the report of said exerts. As near an I am Hide to ascertain at the pres ent time, after au examination of my books and accounts, the shortage during my first term was about S22,T02.4r, while the hortage of my necond term is about $4,193.19. Of this amount there has already been paid the sum of ,t$.?-l and the loan of S&O-jO (the papers for which were today filed with the county clerk) wexpect to realize on by Saturday of this week or Mond.iy of next week at the farthest. Suffice it to say that within ten days at the outside, we will have received and paid over to the county treasurer to apnly on the shortage about S12,MW. I firmly believe that with a reasonable time granted my bondsmen in which to realize upon the prorties and securities which I have turned over to them, they will be found ample to meet tbe deficiency, and trust that your honorable body in dealing with my bondsmen, mar not find it necessary to insist upon au immediate settlement of tbe balance due. thereby necessitating iu many cases the sale of great sacrifice of their property. Itespectfally submitted. J. W. Lynch. Moved that the above communication be placed on file. Carried. Moved by Supervisor Olson that the consider ation of tho J. W. Lynch matter be laid over un til Friday, June 12, BVW, at 10 o'clock a. m. Car ried. Minutes of meeting of the board, of April SI. 1AW, read, corrected and thereupon approved.

Of course the country is looking towards St. Louis this week, and tbe dailies are scanned for the latest news. As we write this (Monday morning), it seems evident that McKinley will be se lected on an early ballot, if not on tbe first, and that the only matters on which possible trouble is anticipated are the candidate for vice president, and the platform. The presidential candidates do not seem, any of them, inclined to accept the second place on tbe ticket, while the opportunity may, by some possibil ity, chance to be the only one of their life time for reaching the goal of their ambition. C. W. Lippitt, governor, of Rhode Island, has given it out that he wants the vice-presidential nomination; there has been talk of Thurston, but every thing is at sea as we write. As to the declaration on money, the single gold-standard element of tbe party are claiming tbe victory, whether it will result that way or not. The convention will doubtless be one of the most important in the history of American politics, so far as its far reaching effects are concerned. It js announced from Canton, Ohio, that, on the instant of McKinley's nomi nation, the Canton city hall bell will be rung by wire from the St. Louis con vention hall, and the whistle of every factory will blow and every bell will ring as soon as the announcement is made by firing a big cannon. As we go to press, Wednesday morn- ing, tbe latest from St. Louis is that after calling the convention to order Tuesday, Fairbanks of Indiana was selected tem porary chairman and delivered a speech for protection and sound money '-honest currency and a chance to earn it by henest toil." After soma other prelimi nary matters, the convention adjourned to 10 o'clock this morning. Tax republican state convention at Lincoln July 1st, promises to be a pretty interesting assemblage. There is great need of good counsels prevailing. The hap-hazard style of nominating is not receiving very much approval just now, and deservedly so. Tbere is no hope for the democracy this year so far as na tional politics is concerned, and the evi dent intention of the opposition is to concentrate all their efforts upon other matters, election or United States sen ators and representatives in the lower house, governors of states, members of state legislatures and so on. It is be ginning to be seen already that combi nations of the opposition elements are being made now on these minor matters, and tbe republican party must put forth its best efforts in selecting its standard bearers on all lines. While republican success seems almost inevitable this year, if McKinley shall be nominated, the victory will be all the more emphat ic and lasting if it is made as nearly unanimous as can be. Good principles and good men to incorporate them into law and carry them out in the conduct of the various official functions, is the proper working principle applicable to the present situation, and it should cot be lost sight of, either in the nominat ing conventions or afterwards. Those who believe alike in political matters should get together and not allow any thing of a specious nature to keep them apart. Think of national affairs (in de termining principles of action) as those of one man with. vast and varied inter- wests, and the same rules that would apply in the one case are true for the other. As -for instance: a surplus is much more agreeable and more easily managed than a deficit; if money re ceived does not at least equal money paid out, some means of credit must be resorted to; that indebtedness must be interest-bearing or non interest-bearing, and there must be a certainty of pay ment or the getting of funds will be doubtful, -and so on and on. Republi cans are all in favor of a tariff -some of them for revenue only (a few of these): some of them a tariff for revenue, with incidental protection; some for a tariff, the idea of protection to American pro ducts of the farm, the mine and tho factory being the ruling idea, with rev enue (other than for actual expense of running the government) merely secon dary. On the theory that one's political party should more nearly express his views of public policy than another, not only in platforms and promises, but in accomplished good to the country, re publicans are protectionists for all American interests without discrimina tion against any, or undue favoritism for any so administer affairs as to give every man and every legitimate business interest of tho countryman equal chance with every other, so fa"r as the Govern ment is concerned in the matter; this is justice, "equal and exact": this is com mon sense and common honesty; it is good politics and good business, and let ne not be deceived by any plausible theories leading off into the swamps of political error or business wreckage. Let us walk out of the Cleveland slough of despond on the solid, trusty planks of the Grand Old Party, to the solid soil of true principle and prosperity. A blunder now would be, if not fatal, alto gether inexcusable. Congressman Kem seems to have struck a vein of vital routine which promises to make bim somewhat noted before his congressional career shall end. He is, at least, working it, "for all there is in it." He threatens to be known in the history of American pol itics as Hollman the second, the great objector, ne has come to tho conclu sion that it is far easier to tear down than to build up; that while it "requires an Almighty being to create a rose, a little boy can pick it to pieces." His last performance was the raising of tho question oi -no quorum. tvem seems to have known that the demand for absent members would attract par ticular attention indeed, some of his political enemies are free to believe that the suggestion came to Kem from some kind, considerate friend of his in Ne braskaanyhow, a call of the house was made, and Congressman Meiklejohn was summoned in by telegraph from the Nebraska prairies, where he has been - A. if W industriously engaged for some weeks i in looking after his chances for the gubernatorial nomination.
