Six thousand men have already leen invalided home, and 4,000 others are awaiting transpor tation back to Turkey. Mk. Bkyan says that "prosperity is due in Nebraska solely to good crops.'" Then, by the same token, the absence of prosperity was due solely to poor crops, and the crime of '7.5" had nothing what ever to do with it. Lincoln Call. .TuDfsE Si'llivan declares that every man who upholds the gold standard is a republican. Now, Judge, the Leader would like to ask you a question or two. If your ptatement is true, then isn't ev ery man who believes in free silver a populist? The populist party advoca ted free coinage long ltefore the demo cratic party over dreamed -of such a thing. Are you a pop? Genoa Leader. A stkono populist office holder who draws a big salary in this judicial dis trict told the Quiz man just before the republican state convention that the brainiest man on the supreme bench was Judge Post. He also called atten tion to the fact that Judge Post seldom rendered a dissenting opinion, for his opinions were usually the opinions of the court. Such a man is the kind of a man to keep on the bench. Ord Quiz. Illinois, Indiana and Iowa have been parched by the long-continued hot weather. Until lately, Kansas was in a similar condition. In southern Illinois the temperature averaged 90 for four teen days. No such record for heat has been made since the September of lftf7. The Sangamon, Mackinaw and Vermil lion rivers are nearly dry and the cattle on a thousand hills are dying for lack of water. In Indiana no drop of mois ture has fallen for two months, corn is being burned to death, pastures are in flammable as powder, and prairie fires are raging. Public schools are closed in many towns, workmen are forced to quit toil, and prayers for rain are going up on every hand. Ohio and Michigan are also feeling the effects of the ex treme heat. Farmers are anxious, fruit raisers are downcast and the people of the cities are discouraged. Mb. Bryan declared prices would never advance until the volume of mon ey is increased. This means nothing if it does not mean that prices depend upon the volume of circulating medium and not upon supply and demand. In fact, while the republicans urged the old and established theory of supply and de mand the p.p orators everywhere hooted at it and declared that values depended entirely on the amount of "redemption money." Yon all remember that yon heard them howling and rantiug about -redemption money." Some of them are going back on that theory already and once in a while you find one with the bra zen effrontery to declare now that he never said it. Bryan said it. Harvey aid it. Allen said it. Every pop orator and office seeker in the land said it, not once but over and oer and over again. It was a very silly and childish thing to say, but they said it. It was contrary to experience, to reason and common sense but they eaid it. Republicans said and proved there was plenty or money to do the business of the country with and that supply and demand regulated the price. What do yon think about it now? York Times. COLUMBUS UOXOUKD. Columbus has the honor of having two of her citizens nominated aspirants for the supreme court, Judge Post and Judge Sullivan. The latter took the former's place on the district liench when Judge Post Itecame a member of the supreme court. Both of them are highly esteemed by the people of Co lumbus but Judge Post has the very important advantage over Judge Sulli van, that he has served one term on the supreme bench with distinguished abil ity and credit to the high position, and as the office should be eliminated from politics as much as party nominations will permit, there is an unwritten law, giving general consent by the people, that partisanship must not control where a faithful and efficient official asks for the second term. None can be more ready to concede the justness of this precedent than Judge Sullivan himself, who certainly must see the weakness of faia candidacy from this strong stand powt&t. Edward Sun.

It is not observed that the countries which were making that terrific protest against onr new tariff three months ago are putting any of their implied threats into execution. They know now what they knew then, that the balance of trade was in their favor, and that they could not afford to carry out any of their threats. Cincinnati Tribuue. JmmimmmmMmwmwm PROVE ALL THINGS. The CoHtrr Under Krpabliran Adminis tration all Kicfct. We have long held the conviction that no political party known to history has evidenced such lasting good quali ties as has the republican party. Organized at a time when it seemed as though one extreme or the other of opinion on the slavery problem was about to bring utter ruin upon the country, since 1S5G, it has really been the stay of the government, loyally up holding it through prosperity and through adversity, whether the reins were in its own hands, or in those of its rival. "Prove all things, hold fast that which is good," has been the general working principle of the party, and while per fection can be claimed for no human affairs, its grand record so far is a vital portion of the history of the nution, and is safe. In the midst of heated conflicts, our political opponents have denounced re publican leaders and republican meas ures, but after the smoke of battle had passed away, even our opponents have acknowledged the patriotism, the ability, the greatness of Lincoln, of Seward, of (rant, of Garfield, of Blaine, of Sumner, and a host of others whose lives have formed brilliant pages in the history of their times. The Grand Old Party (and the name can le spelled in full, every letter touching the full circle of patriotism at some point) may justly congratulate itself on the situation in these United States. Not only have we at the head of af fairs, a representative republican, but a typical American citizen, who as a boy, as a youth and as man, has felt the in spiration of our free institutions in his struggle for enlarged opjKirtunities of usefulness. A man who appreciates the needs of the ordinary citizen, and who has the conscience to be touched with the finer considerations of right living, and the determination to administer the government in the interest of all the people. What has been accomplished by Pres ident McKinley (both directly and be cause of confidence in his integrity and ability), in the brief time since his inau guration last March, is simply sugges tive of what is to follow. The accumulated stock of imported, free-trade, foreign-made goods, rushed in, in anticipation of the passage of the Dingley bill, has not yet leeu exhaust ed, and, until it shall have been, we will not see the fnll force and value of the new republican tariff law. But even now there is no anxiety ex pressed that 8262,000,000 of government bonds will be necessary to issue in order to pay current expenses of the govern ment, as was done under the Cleveland administration. Our wonderful possessions in Alaska are about to be utilized, as only intelli gent, wide-awake, enterprising freemen can make use of a new country. The mineral wealth of onr "nearer Klondikes" seems about to be developed at a rate heretofore unknown, and, while the discovery of gold in California in 1849 helped us out of debt, and strength ened the currents of civilized life for many decades, the inventive and mining activity of these times is destined to send us forward in the race of suprem acy at a much greater speed. And this suggests that the annexa tion of Hawaii, the pacification and perhaps independence of Cuba, may le among the first achievements of our practical statesmen in the field of dip lomacy. The unique, and perhaps crowning glory, however, of President McKinley's administration will be the impetus giv en to our merchant marine. Our ship ping interests will receive special at tention, and such fostering care us never lefore. Before the republican party is through with its work, we will probably be carrying our own mail at least and our own exjiorts on the high seas. One portion of the country will not seek to prosper at the expense of anoth er, but there will be an honest, faithful endeavor to benefit all, to develop every portion of these United States, and bring peace and plenty to all homes. Now is a time to emphasize republi can principles as above all others, and the effectual, practical way to do fo i6 to vote for republican candidates. BUT, SUPPOSING. Suppose, my free silver howling friend, Bryan had been elected last fall and as you say God brought about the present condition of the wheat market would you hpve announced then that the elec tion of Bryan had nothing to do with the increased price of wheat? Not a bit of it; every mother's son of you would le standing up on your hind legs and yelling at the top of your voice that Bryan did it with his little silver hatch et. It does not require any argument, either, to convince you of the truthful ness of this statement. If the Lord alone is responsible for the increased price of wheat here and the shortage elsewhere what caused corn, wool, cot ton, sugar, iron and in fact everything else, including wages, to go up? It wasn't Bryan and free silver, was it? And there is not a shortage of them in other countries, either, is there? 'Fess np, old man? Sterling Sun. Failed tw Kind Peruvian Gold. Sax Fkascimco, Sept. 28. Three members of the expeditiou which went to Peru last March iu charge of ex-Po-liee Sergeant Johns have returned to this dry. They tell a story of priva tion and hard luck, and give anything but a glowing account of the Peruvian gold fields J. P. Stanford, an engineer, on of the returned miners, is at St. Luke's hospital broken down in health as a result of his venture. The party went direct to Molleudo. and from there set out for the gold fields. The natives, when questioued concerning the treas ures which were said to exist, either would uot or could not tell where the location were. KILLS ENTIRE FAMILY. Iowa Man Murders His Wife and Six Children. MURDERER ENDS HIS OWN LIFE. Woiuau Shot With a Shotgun MS Chlld reu With u i:c.l.r Ilodlrs Found Lurk-d In tltr Huio liy m Brother Alt Drad When lirrird Sntv Oar, Whose Wvuudi Will rrouuuly Prove Fatal. Cahkoll, la., Sept. i'S. The slaugh ter of a mother and her six children occurred at the home of John Borecker, a farmer liviug eight miles west of here, last night. Edward, the fiendish husband, completed his bloody work by sending a bullet into his owu head, in flicting a tatal wound. The family were prosperous Germans, and as far as is known lived luppily. No motive for the tragedy has been disclosed. Borecker's victims are his wife aud six children: Caroline, aged 14; Chris tine, aged U ; Heuvy, aged 8 ; Lizzie, aged C ; John, aged 8, and an infant. All are dead but Henry, aud the latter cannot recover from his wounds. Bor ecker had au engagement to help a neighbor to thrush this morning aud on his not puttiug iu au appearance, his brother Henry, who lives about 2U rods away, went about t o'clock to see why he did uot. The doors of the house were locked and there was no sigu of life a!;out. Heury tried to get in the house, but met no rep3u?e. aud finally kicked in i he door aud caute upon a horrible scene. B irecker, with his wife and baby, slept iu the back room and the corpses lay on oue led. The wife had beeu shot iu the neck with a sholguu, which suk.1 iu the corner, the baby had been shot aud its head crushed with the butt end of a revolver. The man, still breathing, had a bullet hole high up on the forehead, and by his side was a Smith and Wesson G-shooter with two chambers eaiptied. The Borecker home is a story and a half frame house, aud upstairs Henry and Lizzie lay on a bed with a bullet hole iu their heads, the latter dead, the boy still breathing. Iu the opposite comer of the same room Caroline, Christiue aud John were dead, eacli with a bullet hole iu the forehead, though Caroline had two. Late this afternoou the bodie were still untouched, the sheriff and coroner beiug occupied in arranging for the in quest and other preliminaries. The in quiry will le pushed by the coroner's jurv. Story of the Criiov. It is undoubtedly a case of murder and suicide. The indications are that Borecker first dispatched his wife with the shotgun, shooting her iu the neck, theu used the revolver on the baby, first bhootiug it and theu knocking out its brains with the butt. Boreckf.r theu went upstairs where the five chil dren were sleeping aud killed them. He must have used a light for his aim was effective, each victim being shot in the forehead. All bnt two children met with instant death, for the blood clots were under their heads aud they lay as calmly reposed as if iu sleep. All except Heiury, who is not yet dead, was attired iu night robes. Borecker had reloaded the weaj)ou while upstairs aud evidently sent thfi sef-O'id bullet iuto the oldest girl's brain just before leav ing the room. Going down stairs he stretched him self beside the corpse of his wife and bhot himself. Ills right baud was burnt by the powder, showing the rapid use of the revolver. The weapon he had borrowed from his brother Henry last Thursday, remarking that he wauted it to kill rats iu the cellar. Ir is now recalled that Boreukev has since then prsietieed target shootiug with it. Borecker was :J4 years old and for over '20 years has lived iu the same neighbor hood, iu fact, ou the same farm. He has beeu regarded as a prosperous far mer and only recently bought a 200 ocre farm a few miles from the old homehtettd. Sunday he attended Cath olic services with hjs fauuly. Later he was visited by a neighbor, who says that when he left the Borecker's home iu the evening they were seemingly a happy family aud not a premonition of the awful tragedy enacted a few hours later was given by Borecker or anyone of the household. Memhers of his fath er's family say he had no family trou bles, his financial affairs were iu good shape aud they cau asaigu no motive for the terrible crime. On the other hand it is said that John had disagreed with the old folks aud Henry over the occupancy of the farm ou which John lived aud this assigned by some as the cause of the trouble which culminated In murder and suicide. The family are Germans and highly respected citizens. WHERE IS GOVERNOR PINGREE? Michigan Chitf Cftvcutitr I Absent, No Oue KuuMit Where. DerROir. Sept. 28. Some of Gover nor Piugree's friends are becoming uu eay at the way time goes by and his whereabouts are uot located. The gov ernor left Detroit two weeks ago, sup posedry for a trip "down east," accom panied by General A. L. Bresler and Cojouel E. R. Suttou. General Brezler has now returned to the city, saying that he has beea iu New York city for the past two weeks and knows nothing of the governor. No two opinions re garding has disappearance agree. The only clue to his whereabouts is found iu a dispatch from Curacoa, West Indies, saying the governor and Mr. Sutton are figuring ou securing a rail road concession from the Venezuelan governmeut. J. B. Howarth, one of Mr. Piugree's partners in the shoe busi ness, says he does not kuow what Mr. Pingree is doing iu South America and many ot his intimates think if that he has gone south at al it is on a pleasure trip, seeking a rest. Carefnl inquiry as to his whereabouts at the governor's rciddeuce fails to elicit any information, bnt no positive alarm has yet been ex pressed by the family. To Quiet the Indians. Denver, Colo., Sept. 28. A special to The Republican from Poca tello, Ida., says : Two companies of United States cavalry from the Boise barracks passed through this city this morning eu route for the Fort Hall In dian agency at Ross Fork to quell the antischool riots there. About 100 of the young bucks have determined that the girls shall not go to school, aud they are backed np by the old squaws, yrhb are also hostile to the idea of hav ing their children placed in school. DITCH MEN IN SESSION. Sixth National Irrigation Con gress at Lincoln. THEEE ADDEESSE3 0? WELCOME. Delivered by the Governor, Mayor and Chancellor Expert oa Irrigation Mat ter la Attendance From the Foar Corners ot the Compass Congress Prom ises to Be of Great Interest. Lincoln, Sept. 28. Irrigation ex perts from the foar corners of the com pass were arriving in Lincoln during the day yesterday and last evening to take part in the national congress which began today. "Water on the brain is their ailment" is the way Secretary Heintz refers to his associates. Heintz arrived from Los Angeles, Cal., last night and has been busy welcoming and registering the delegates. Speaking of the pros pects of the meeting Secretary Heintz said: "The congress pro' i;s to be the most important in the history of the or ganization. We may not have quite as many delegates as have attended other congresses, because the railroads did uot give us as good a rate as we think they might have, but the class of delegates will be of the best quality. There will be fewer theorists and more irrigation ists who will speak ou the subject from a thorough knowledge of it aud a prac tical experience of the methods in use." The local committee interested iu the gathering are more than gratified over prospects of a successful convention. Representative men from nearly every state west of Nebraska are here, amoug them being officials of western rail roads who are tukiug a decided interest in the meeting. The first session of the congress is beiug held this afternoon in state university hall. Governor Holeomb, Mayor Graham aud Presi dent McLean of the university wel comed the delegates, aud Chairman Moses of the Irrigation executive com mittee resjouded. A meetiug of the executive committee was held some time this forenoon. Altercation In a Hay Field. Brady, Neb., Sept. is. While the men working in the hay field for A.

Washixgto.m, Bept. 28. -ThP Central American republics, according to pan americau diplomats in Washington, are undoubtedly on the eve of a general po litical upheaval. The success of the revolutionists in Guatemala, entailing the downfall of Dictator Barrios and the elevation of Prospero Morales to the presidency, is believed to be inevitable and Is likely to, of itself, bring about a revolution in sevcxul of the sister repub lic. ThfJ imprifcoinuent of the Costa Ricau consul general, Don Kduardo Boche, by the Nicaraguan authorities, is regarded as a serious breach of inter national courtesy that cau hardly pre vent a rap. xiw. The seeds of sedition arc easily owu in Houdnras, aud the uneasiness iu that country seems likely to develop into open revolt against Pn-sddeiit Bonilla as au indirect result of the success of the revolution in Guatemala. Salvador alone of the panamerican states at pn.seut appears quiet and like ly to remain so. A suceessf ul revolu tion iu either of the three republics, composing the Greater Republic of Cen tral America, would mean the dissolu tion of the feeble diplomatic tonus which now unite tioj, aud from pres ent indications another coalition of this nature might le difficult to briug about. NO WAR WITH SPAIN. State Ut't-urtmi-ut Oillrial Take Optirah. lie View of t lie .situation. Wasiunuio.v, Sept. -28. The possi bility of a rupture between the United gtates and Spain, growing out of the representations recently made to the Madrid authorities by Minister Wood, ford, is regarded as very remote by state department officials. At the time Mr. Woodford's instructions were written it was the opinion of the administra tion that a tender of the good offices of the United States would be rejected by Spain. Their views have changed ou this point. It is eaiu that the authori ties are now confidently expecting that Spain will accept the offer of mediation in tl e same conciliatory spirit in which it was made, and express a willingness to consider any suggestion which this government may choose to make in the direction of a restoration of peace iu the island. The optimistic yiv which the author ities take ot Spain's prospective reply to Mr. Woodford's note is based on the Le lief that there will soon be a.new min istry in Spain, composed of the Liberals, with Sagasta as the premier. It is a very easy matter to 'tender good offices and a comparatively easy one to get them accepted, but, as it is argued in route quarters, with the Cu bans declaring they will uot accept auy thing short of complete independence, and Spain firmly adheriug to its reiter ated declaration that it will not wish draw its Mag from the island, the ad miufctraijou will find it as difficult to end the war peacefully us Spain has in its efforts to close it by force of arms. Should the Spanish government re ject the offer of the good offices of the United States, tendered by Mr. Wood ford, it will then be necessary for Presi dent McKinley to consider what shall be the further course of the govern ment. A member of the cabinet said that the president would not act hastily in any event. The president vjrill com municate full information to congress at the beginning of the session in De cember and be guided by the action of that body. - Uitcli la Seal Conference. London, Sept. 28. An announcement was made this afternoou confirming the dispatches of the Associated Press that the Marquis of Salisbury lias not with drawn from the Bering sea conference, but has simply objected to the presence of Russia and Japan. Negotiations on the subject are proceeding. Great Brit ain is willing to take part in the confer ence and is endeavoring to secure the acquiescence of Canada. American Arrotrtt In Vienna.

THIRTY-SIX ABE INJURED Bloody Riot Between Polanders at Girardville, Pa. HOE ABE K0T EXPECTED TO LIVE. Dteanta About Hasletea Treaties Start a Fend Between Two Factions Conflict Wages For aa Hoar With Gnas, Axes and Catlerjr as Weapons Participants Secret Their Injured Friends. Girardville, Pa,, Sept. 28. At least nine men received fatal injuries and possibly two score others were more or less seriously wounded in a bloody riot here late last night and early this morning The battle was the outcome of a quarrel over the Hazletou troubles. Thirty -six men are known to have been wounded and about 50 more are being secreted by their friends, who fear they will be sent to jail. Twelve of the ringleaders were brought before Justice Elias Kissinger and 10 before Justice H. B. Johnson. All were charged with assanlt with intent to kill, housebreak ing and rioting and were held iu heavy bail for court. Many more warrants have beeu issued, but have uot been served as yet. Dr. Charles Schlesmau attended to 23 of the wounded, niue of whom, he says, will di.;. Drs. William Mouaghan aud James Donaghue attended 14 others and how uiauy the other physicians cared for is not kuowu. Three other men have been reported dead, but this cannot be verified yet on account of the uncommunicative nature of the par ticipants. The story of the riot Is as follows : Several hundred Polanders boarded at William Culaccabbage's hotel ou Sec ond street. Joseph Cavendish is pro prietor of u hotel at the east eud of towu, where several hundred more Polanders make their headquarters. Bad blood has existed between them for a loug time and the recent strike trou bles at Hazleton euibittered them still more. Matter Come to a Forus. Last night matters came to a focus. Culacabbage, it is charged, aud his fol lowers to the number of several hun dred, arming themselves with guus, re volvers, knives, axes and clubs, marched to Cavendish's hotel where several hundred of their enemies were celebrating pay day. The Cavendish men ascertained that their foes were marching on them and arming them selves hurriedly, awaited their arrival. After a demonstrative march the Cul lacabbage contingent arrived and iuv piediately stormed the saloon. Theu a bloody battle ensued. The men fought like demons, the shootiug was fast aud furious axes, knives, clubs aud othei weapons were used with deadly effect. The battle lasted almost an hour, when the Cullacabbage gang was routed, leaving their wounded behind. Everything in the house was smashed and the floors were strewn with wounded men. The walls were be spattered with blood and shreds oi human flesh. After the routed rioters had returned to their headquarters the Cavendish gang armed themselves to the teeth and marched to their enemies' rendez vous, where a battle still bloodier than the first ensued. The police force and the constables of the surrounding re gion were called to the sceue, bnt were unable to cope with the rioting horde, who continued hostilities, uu.tjl morn ing. It is thought that after the excite ment subsides mast of the guilty parties will be arrested. The residences oi many citi7eus were damaged aud sev eral outsiders were wounded. PeriK-tutil Injunction Agalutt McNall. Topeka, Sept. 28. Judge John F. Williams today granted :t perpetual in junction to prevent Superintendent of Insurance Webb McNall from interfer ing with the business of the New York Mutual Life Insurance company. The attorney general was also enjoined from interfering with the company in any other manner except by bringing pro ceedings in quo warranto. The suit was the result of trouble over the fa pious Hillmon case. McNall refused to grant it a license on the ground that the claim had not been paid. Judge Williams said iu his opinion that such action was arbitrary and "au assump tion of authority in a ministerial officer that is startling." Fever Kxperts to Visit Texas. Nkw Orleans, Sept. 28.

The most im portant development in the Greater New York political situation was the uuauiuious nomination of Heury George for mayor by the united Democ racy, composed of numerous free silver and Bryan clubs which were active iu the campaign of last fall. Mr. George once polled 08,000 votes as a labor can didate for mayor of New York. His strength, if he should accept, would be drawn principally from the Democratic Hanna's Wt-il.liug Anniversary, Cleveland, Sept 23.
