Tho Omaha World-Herald of Friday
contained the following: "The funeral
of Charles II. Conner was held yester
day from the residence, 1616 Webster
street, with interment in Prospect Hill.
Mr. Conner, who was 49 years of age,
was one of the oldest engineers in the
employ of the Union Pacific, having
been with the road continuously for
twenty years. He was well-known, not
only in Omaha, but along the line of the
Union Pacific. The funeral was attend
ed by many old friends and by repre
sentatives of the Union Pacific Pioneers'
association, of which he was a member,
and also by Knights Templar and other
Masonic bodies.
The county institute started Mon
day with a large attendance and more
coming in constantly. Profs. Leavy
and O'Connor are the instructors, Snpt.
Rothligbtner superintending the work.
Only second and third grade work is
being taught, not enough applying for
first grade work to warrant the starting
of a class. Prof. O'Connor of West
Point teaches civil government, history,
grammar, didactics and arithmetic.
Prof. Leavy teaches geography, phys
iology, grammar, writing and reading.
Tho sessions will be from 8 to 12 o'clock,

space this week to give the list of
teachers enrolled but will do so next
week. Up to Tuesday morning 87
teachers had registered and many more
are yet to come in. The lectures have
not yet been fully arranged.
The lightning rod agent is abroad
again, and from what the Leigh World
says, in the following, he is doing alleged
business of a very slippery- nature. Ev
ery man in the discharge of his duties
to himself and family is entitled to the
inalienable use of "reason, self-command
and conscience," and whenever or wher
ever you find the "party of the other
part" endeavoring to deprive you of
either of these rights, substituting his
will for your own in your affairs, like the
niesmeriser or hypnoptist, assert your
rights promptly, fully and effectively,
Send him whirling. But here is what
we started to quote:
"The World wishes to warn the far
mers against a couple of lightning rod
agents who are at work through the
country. Give them the cold shoulder.
Their game is a dishonest one and they
are trying to beat the farmers out of
their hard earned money. They per
suade a man into signing a contract that
calls for 100 feet of lightning rod at 75
cents per foot. Below the contract is
written in dim pencil lines that the
signer is to pay for only five feet 75
cents per foot or $3.50 for the five feet,
the remaining ninety-five feet to be a
present to him. This is done for the
purpose of "advertising." The game is
to get contracts signed, erase the pencil
writing, and then, when the goods are
delivered by another party, present the
contract, which will call for payment of
100 feet of lightning rod at 75 cents a
foot, or $75 in place of $3.50. Again,
don't sign their contract."

An adjourned session of the conven
tion was held at the court house Satur
day, June 27, beginning at 2 o'clock,
Chairman Kilian calling the delegates
to order promptly on time.
The convention proceeded to business
without delay, selecting delegates by
ballot, resulting as follows:
To the congressional convention to be
held in this city: Carl Kramer, W. E.
Kent, A. Weisshand. Charles Kelley,
John Tannahill, W. A. McAllister, C. A.
Woosley,' EdHoare, H. G. Cross, C. H.
Sheldon, Frank Kenyon and Wm. Dress,
the votes ranging from 85 down to 58.
To the state convention, held today in
Lincoln: Ed. Early, Nels Olson, Thos.
H. Williams, G. G. Becher, E. C. Mor
row, J. D. Stires, J. G. Pollock, Fred
Meedel, J. N. Kilian, E. A. Stockslager,
John Wiggins, the votes ranging from
76 to 42.
On motion, S. C. Gray was directed,
by a unanimous vote, to name tho dele
gation to the senatorial convention the
call for which has not yet been made.
The following were announced as his
choice: C. H. Sheldon, Gerhard Leu
schen, J. H. Wjirdeniun, J. T. Morris,
Carl Kramer, H. T. Spoerry, J. G. Pol
lock, L. J. Niemoller, George Barnum.
David Thomas, in like manner was
unanimously directed to name the dele
gates to the Float representative con
vention, and the following were an
nounced as his choice: Wm. Cornelius,
Robert Lewis, G. G. Becher, R G.
Strother, E. A. Stockslager, W. A. Mc
Allister, D. C. Owens, James Brown, W.
E. Kent, Chris. Meedel, C. A. Woosley.
On being called upon for a speech, Mr.
Thomas said that he was not a speaker,
but thanked the convention for (he
honor they bad done him.
Mr. Gray, in answer to calls, said that
on his return the day before from Illi
nois, he was very much surprised to
hear hiB name mentioned in connection
with the office of senator, and expressed
himself grateful to his fellow citizens,
for the confidence which their vote indi
cated. He felt greater interest in the
result, in state and nation, of this cam
paign, than he had felt since the close
of the war, when a democratic victory
meant almost the destruction of Ameri
can institutions. He felt that the only
safety now is in the well-known and
tried policy of the republican party
gold, greenbacks, and all the silver that
can be floated on a parity with gold,
the true bi-metallic basis. The party
that made the mistake of repealing the
Sherman act, cannot be trusted; the
country does not wieh to be brought to
an absolute silver basis, debasing all
national currency and greenbacks. This
would be like a man ruining his credit
for a life time for the sake of paying a
few debts in a debased money. So far
as public office is concerned he always
thought it his duty to act in behalf of
the people the same as he would in his
own private business. While a school
boy, he had the pleasure of hearing
Lincoln and Douglas in one of the series
of famous debates, which helped to
make one n United States senator and
the other president, and from that time
on there was no national or state ticket
of the republican party that did not re
ceive his vote.
On motion, the rule was suspended
and C. J. Garlow was unanimously cho
sen as the candidate for county attorney.
On motion, the rule was suspended
and George Smith of Lost Creek, unan
imously nominated as the republican
candidate for representative for Platte
county.

while playing base ball last Sunday,
John Blake, the Richland merchant, had
a shoulder broken by being run into by
a base runner when he was after a fly

badly as to require his being taken to
Columbus at once where a doctor
dressed the fracture.
Fullerton Journal: While Mrs. Reif
was sewing about a month ago she ran
either her needle or the tongue of a
buckle into the joint of her right thumb.
It did not appear at first that any serious
result would follow but later her wrist
and arm became swollen and she now
has symptoms of blood poisoning and is
in a critical condition.
Schuyler Quill: John C. VanHousen
was "all swelled up" this week over
something he had been doing. On Tues
day a hive of bees swarmed and stopped
in the top of a cedar tree. John pro
ceeded to saw the top off the tree and
as a result the top fell and knocked his
mask off so that tbe bees got at him and
stung him badly in the face and on the
hands and arms. Over a hundred sting
ers were "extracted without pain" later
and he was poulticed and laid up for
repairs.
