K, First Neb. Inf. A gang of swindlers is said to be making a tour through the state examin ing the wells by authority of the state. They inspect the water through a micro scope and find ail kinds of bacteria, chol era and typhoid germs, and permit the farmer and his wife to look through the microscope, where of course, they see the menagerie that always has been and al ways will be contained in a drop of wa ter. The frightened farmer is advised to apply certain remedies sold by the fa kirs at a high price. Norfolk Journal. The recruits, 106 in number, who had spent a considerable portion of their time the week previous in drilling, start ed Thursday afternoon last on the B. k M. on their trip to San Francisco. A multitude of friends and acquaintances followed the soldiers to the depot, and much feeling was manifested at the de parture.

Special trains were run Sunday from Norfolk and Grand Island to the Or phans' home festival of the German Lutheran church at Fremont. The an nual sermon was delivered by Rev. Vol Yrecht of Stanton upon the good accom plished by caring for the orphans and neglected children. The music was by a large choir' accompanied by the chnrch band of the Arlington Lutheran church. The fifty children now being supported at the home were seated on the plat form. The attendance Sunday was esti mated at 3,000 people. The building was open to the public in the afternoon. The German Lutherans are not accus tomed to doing anything by halves. The Omaha Bee criticises Douglas county party representatives for calling primaries to elect delegates! to the state convention six weeks ahead of the con vention, and for not giving sufficient notice. The right thing is always the best party policy fair, square, open, in the public interest, then you have the natural, spontaneous action of party adherents, an irresistable force, espe cially when pitted against a merely me chanical, political machine. There are all kinds of political bosses, and all grades of bossism, but the American people will not long endure any except they work strictly, palpably, plainly and fairly in the public interest. You can't always keep a good man down, neither can you always hold a bad man up the rule applying to politics, as elsewhere. It has been a fortunate thing for the republican party of the rural portion, at least, of the country that it has been comparatively free from dictation by political bosses, so that there has been an honest expression of opinion, as a rule. The good sense and aoand judg ment of the party hosts is to be trusted now, as always heretofore. Let' party repreaantativea seek to express the knowa will of tJw'aeoasa. . i.-t e.

Babeock moved his family to Columbus Monday in order to be more conveniently situated for his work; Miss Mamie Mallalieu of Kearney and Mrs C. L. Stillman of Co lumbus were visiting relatives in Mon roe last week; at the recent Platte Coun ty Sunday school convention the follow ing officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, C. W. Talbitzer; vice pricident, C. A. Lindstrum; secretary, E. VonBergen; treasurer, Miss A. Stauf fer; delegates to state convention, Mrs. E. H. Chambers, Miss Lizzie Watkins; alternates, Mrs. W. D. Wilson, Miss L. Bloedorn. The republicans of this judicial dis trict are beginning to look around in the tall timber for a proper representative of the party in the race to be made, and; naturally enough, attention is directed this way. Among the list of Columbus' bright, republican lawyers is the subject of the following paragraph, clipped from the Fullerton News: ''There will be a judge of the district court to elect this fall to fill the unexpired term of the Hon. J. J. Sullivan. If the right roan is selected there is no reason why the republicans should not elect a man to fill this position. W. A. McAllister of Columbus, is an old resident of this country, a tried lawyer and an able ad vocate, and will be the right man in the place." This is the way the other U. S. sol diers were received at Honolulu, and our Co. K may expect the same sort of a wel come: "The United States transports Pekin, Sydney and Australia arrived here (Honolulu) on the 1st. The voyage was pleasant. Eight mild cases of mea sles broke out ou the Australia. As soon as the three vessels were sighted all Hon olulu turned out to welcome the troops. The docks were crowded with people and when the vessels entered the harbor the spectators yelled themselves hoarse. Such a scene of enthusiasm had never been witnessed in Honolulu as when the vessels docked. The troops were given the freedom of the city. The trans ports left for Manila on the 4th, convoy ed bv the Charleston. The Renew of Reviews continues strong on war topics. In the July num ber the editor reviews the whole cam paign up to the landing of our troops for the advance on Santiago, showing the precise part which Lieutenant Eobson's exploit had in the general scheme; Dr. W. H. Ward treats of Hobson's career as that of a typical young American stu dent; Mr. Edwin Emerson, Jr., the brill iant young newspaper correspondent, gives notes of his adventurous journey ings in Porto Rico last month; and Dr. May West, the statistician and econo mist, summarizes "Our New War Taxes'' in an interesting article. "International Cartoon Comments on Our War with Spain and "Record of Current Events" also cover the situation up to date. The new revenue law goes into effect the first of the coming month, and is intended to bring more money into the government treasury for carrying on the war. Government stamps are provided, similar to those used by the government during the war of '61-"5, to be placed upon checks, notes, bonds, receipts, etc It is made an offence, subject to a fine of not more than $100 to sign a check, draft or instrument of like nature which does not bear a 2 cent stamp. Stamps must bear the initials of the person using the same, together with the date of use, fine not less than $50 nor more than $500 or imprisonment not more than six months, or both, at the discre tion of the court. Bills of exchange, drafts, certificates of deposit drawing interest, or order for the payment of any sum of money otherwise than at sight or on demand, or any promissory note and each renewal of the same, for a sum not exceeding $100, require a stamp of 2 cents; for each additional $100 or frac tional part thereof, in excess of $100, 2cecta. .

To whom it may concern: I wish to notify the public generally that I will not be responsible for any debts of my wife's contracting. Dated this 22d day of June, 18P3. 2tp S. A. Weddell. The Battle Creek Republican says that David Whitla was relieved of his pocket-book while at the Transmissis sippi exposition Tuesday. With his wife and son he was preparing to board the train to come home when a pick pocket got in bis work. The pocket book contained nothing but their rail road tickets, Mr. Whitla having placed his money in a different pocket, but the lufrfr iir the tickets was bad enough" as they had to buy others in order to get home, Mr. Whitla says that the police force is very inadequate at the crowded depots, and passengers have to take their chances with thieves and thugs who always abound at such places. Attention K. O. T. M. A special meeting this Wednesday evening at I. O. O. F. hall for special business. By order of Sir Knight Commander, lp H. B. Reed. Quite a number of American citi zens are making business calculations with the Philippine islands as the base of operations after peace shall have been declared. There is no doubt but there is there an extensive field for the enter prise and push of the average American, and that this country will be greatly be nefited by the traffic that must necessa rily be one of the results of this war with Spain. In our very commendable efforts to bring the Spaniards to a realizing sense of their situation, and to help the oppressed people of their island posses sions help themselves to better govern ments, we cannot of course, overlook the incidental fact that the United States is no longer a talking cypher in interna tional politics. We have, even from this city, men who have an eye to business in going as soldiers to Manila. The people of the state who have been visiting the Exposition at Omaha have not all been robbed, but doubtless more have lost valuables in that way,and more will lose than will ever tell of it to the general public. The truth is that Omaha is very much like any other large city there are necessarily a great many varieties of human character in the city limits, and especially during a time like the present when great crowds are gathered from every direction, every day. But we have always thought that there was an unnecessary leniency to ward the crooked element on the part of Omaha that was not by any meanB to the credit of the city. At least the no torious criminals, the ones that are known and recognized as such, could be strictly dealt with. Omaha owes it to her guests this summer to give them some thought in the way of protection against thugs and thieves. Real Estate Transfer. Becher, J3ggi & Co., real estate agents, report the following real estate transfers filed in the office of the county clerk for the week ending June 25, 1838. John F.

Tba qaeetkm of omcial boada baa become very interesting to the general public because of the numerous and large defalcations of the last few years. Individuals hare become quite averse to signing official bonds, and the tendency is to let the security companies take these risks. We notice that last week the Fidelity and Deposit company of Maryland paid the $100,000 bond which it gave to insure the city of San Fran cisco against lose to ex-Treasurer Wid ber. This is said to be the heaviest bond ever paid in this country by any surety company, but it was not paid without a legal test case, the company contending that the city officials had not properly counted the cash. The court held that the law in question was for the protec tion of the public and not of the bonds men. Some of our citizens who have been losers on official and other bonds, have declared themselves done with all that kind ot basinees, and there is little wonder that they feel so, when they had anxiety and -financial loes for their share. The Journal believes that the tax-paying public will find it to their interest to have bonds furnished by security companies, as they are better equipped for preventing losses, and for watching officials, and in case of defalcation, the public are leas lenient with a company as bondsmen, and get more sharply af ter the balance. Aa exehaage calls attention to the fact that Hoa. John A. Bingham of Cadiz, aow 8$ years old, is glad to accept raaraaajrateptBuiua bill graat- nnprofitableness of a political career. Mr. Bingham served at least sixteen years in congress, was appointed judge advocate with the rank of major by President Lincoln, who also appointed him United States solicitor for the court of claims. President Grant appointed him minister to Japan, where for twelve years, at a large salary, he served his country in a distinguished manner not only gaining the affection of that peo ple, but gaining for this country the gratitude of the Japanese. Now, for many years, Mr. Bingham has been at his old home, and in his old age, has little of this world's goods to call his own. One of the really great men of the nation; adding his words to the fun damental law of the land, he has been mindful of the princicles of liberty, and the good of his countrymen, rather than individual wealth. It is the work and the worth of such men as Stanton and Bingham (both, by the way, lawyers once in the little town of Cadiz), and Bishop Simpson, likewise from the same place, that the world grows better as the generations go by, and solidity of char acter, and genine patriotism are recog nized at their worth. May our old friend and neighbor long live to enjoy some of the fruits of his labor for the good of his conntry! ITOniA. leasts Blgiatna cf JtalirtYHHmigswJt The Maaer Coart Martial. We find the following reference to a Platte county citizen, son of the late Michael Maher of Platte Center, in the general news of the day. Ed. Journal. Chickamauga Park, Ga., June 22. Much interest is being shown in the Second Nebraska over the court martial of John G. Maher, company H, of Cbad ron, for alleged insubordination. Or ders bad been given to make copies of a certain order which required him to use his own typewriter and paper. He re fused because of liberties taken with his personal property. The case was heard in portions on Friday and Saturday and will continue tomorrow, the prosecution having one witness, and Maher having nine, by which he is showing that he had already contributed the use of bis typewriter and 810 worth of paper and did not refuse to do work required by order. So much attention is being aroused by private property principles involved and the unusual fact of a strong combat being waged by a private soldier against General Grant's division officer, that New York papers are asking for copies of proceedings. DIED. Brewer June 24, J. D. Brewer in the sixtieth year of his age. Mr. Brewer was at work up to 2 o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, seemingly as well as usual, and after finishing the work on which be was engaged, sharp ened his tools to begin another job early Friday morning. He had gone as was his custom, early Friday morning to the barn to milk the cow, and was found there, life extinct, by his son, a few minuites after his death. The shock has been a terrific one to his wife, who has not been in vigorous health. The funeral took place Sunday after noon at four, Masonic fraternity in charge, assisted by the ladies of the Eastern Star. Mr. Brewer was born .-j Cincinnatti, Ohio, in 1839. When seventeen jrs old he began to learn the business of engineer and wheelwright. He came to Nebraska in 1866, locating at first in Omaha. He built numerous mills in this section of the state, and was well known as an excellent workman and a man of far more than ordinary strength of character. The widow and two sons have the sin cere sympathy of the community in their affliction. Davies June 26, at 12:30, P. M., Helen M Davies, on her sixty-third birthday anniversary. Helen M Thurston was born June 26, 1835; married Aug. 3, 1860, at St, Joseph, Mo., to W. D. Davies, who departed this life in 1889. She leaves five sons to mourn the de parture of a loving mother: J. D. of California, O. H. of Wyoming, C. K., A. L. and A. F., all of whom were present at the funeral except J. D. She had thought for some time that she was not long for this world, because of failing strength, but the end came sooner than was anticipated by the friends. After Friday morning she was unconscious until, on the Sabath day, the soul took its departure. Services were held at the residence of her son A. L. near Silver Creek, where she died, Bev.

En gineer W. Fuller of this city, who brave ly remained at his post, was caught be neath the tender and killed. Fireman George Christman, who also lives here, was so badly scajded that he will die. Three cars of horses were also derailed, but not one of the animals was scratched. The engine was badly wrecked. Monday's dailies contain an account of a wreck of the first section of the train tarrying Torry's rough riders, at Tupelo, Miss., Sunday afternoon at 3:45, in which three soldiers were killed and eighteen injured, two of whom will die.

The "regular,"' who in a row, stabbed a fellow "regular"' with a bayonet, re sulting in his death, was himself shot at sunrise June 14, for the murder. It was a hot walk of five miles over the cobble stones, to the ships, but willing hands broutrht classes of water for thirsty soldiers, and each enlisted man would have required an orderly to carry all the parcels which were pressed upon ulz acceptance.

The Newport today, Wednesday, is to take on batteries H and K, third artil lery, the Aetor independent battery and General Merritt and staff. The third expedition to the Philippines embarked at San Francisco Sunday aft ernoon, four thousand soldiers swarming in the holds and upon the decks of the steamers Ohio, Indiana, City of Para and Morgan City. Three thousand people visited camp Merritt before orders to march were given. Very few of the visitors to the camp went out empty handed. Many were the packages con taining little necessaries and delicacies packed up with the luggage of the de parting troops. Bouquets of beautiful California flowers were distributed among them in large quantities and many hearts were made pleasantly heav ier by floral decorations. In Menoriaa.
