Special trains were run Sunday from
Norfolk and Grand Island to the Or

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.

The Monroe Republican says: Mrs.
Jonas Welch of Columbus was visiting
her son Robert last week; H. 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. .

notify the public generally that I will
not be responsible for any debts of my
wife's contracting.

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.

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!

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. Hampton preaching the
Bermon, the theme being, victory over
the grave.
Loving friends and neighbors followed
the mortal remains to their resting place
in the Columbus cemetery, Bev. Weed

ROUGH RIDEKS ABE WRECKED.
Engine J amps tke Track and Engineer Killed
and Fireman Fatally lnjnred.
The following paragrayh appeared in
the dailies under date of June 24, at St.
Joseph, Mo. This is the regiment that
passed through the city Thursday last:
As the second section of the Burlington
train carying the Tom- Cowboy regi
ment of cavalry from Fort D. A. Russell
to Jacksonville, Fla,, was pulled into the
St. Joseph Union 6tation at 9:30 this
morning the engine jumped the track
and after plowing through the earth for
thirty feet toppled over on its side. 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.
Witfc Company K.
Two months' pay, one in advance,
gave each ot the soldiers $29.12.
Lemf of Duncan, and R. Pugsley of
Monroe, on the sick list, are well taken
care of on the ship.
The boys are board the Senator on
their way to Manila, glad to get away
from Camp Merritt at San Francisco.
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.
Roy"Johrson's profile appears with
the pictures orthe company, and he was
so determined to go thit-d? sis-- rlw '
his way on deck before he was noticed.
It may be that Captain Kilian, when be
gets back, can find a way for Roy to
make the voyage.
We notice that to the steamer Morgan
City were assigned the First Idaho vol
unteers and the Firet Nebraska recruits.
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.
