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."

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

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.

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.

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

day that her father, Mr. McCormick, of

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.

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

of his daughter, Mrs. C. J. Carrig, John
naney.
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.

Tne folio ing communication from ex-Treasurer
J. V. Lynch was presented and lead, viz:
To the Honorable Hoard of Supervisors of
Platte County, Xeb. 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

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.
