There is war on hand between the
Omaha Bee and the executive commit
tee of the Exposition. The Bee, in one
of its lengthy criticisms, says: "Noth
ing, however, should surprise anybody
emanating from people who imagine
that a red-hot midway Haunting in
decency as its chief attraction, with an
attachment of a bric-a-bric aggregation
of exhibits scattered through half-filled
exhibition buildings, constitutes a first
class exhibition."
Jaxcart of this year the Schuyler
Savings Bank of this city was compelled
by reason of a surplus of funds on hand
and no demand for it, to reduce the
rate of interest paid to depositors from
five to four per cent. Since then these
deposits have still increased, with so
little demand for loans, that another
notice has been sent out that only three
percent will hereafter be paid on de
posits. This condition of affairs tells
its own story. It shows that the peo
ple have plenty of money to pnt in the
savings bank and that few of them are
borrowers. This is gold standard times
too, and just the opposite condition of
affeirs which Ibe fusionists said would
come if McKinley was elected. What
have onr 16 to 1 friends to say to all
this? Schuyler Sun.
At to Supreme Judge.
The Joukxaij referred last week to
talk in the state press concerning John
H. Gondring as a candidate for judge of
the supreme court this fall on the demo
cratic ticket We suppose that the fol
lowing paragraph from the party organ
of this county states the matter as it is
held here by the brethren of the oppo
sition: The Telegram understands,
however, that Mr. Gondring is not a
candidate for supreme court judge, al
though his friends throughout the
state would rejoice exceedingly to honor
him with the nomination were it not for
the fact that Platte county is already
represented on the supreme court bench
by Judge J. J. Sullivan of Columbus.
But Platte county is entitled to, and

will demand a place on the judicial
ticket in this district. Whether or not
it will be on a fusion or straight demo
cratic ticket remains for the democratic j
convention to decide.
To Welcome Co. K.
At the meeting held last week the fol
lowing committee on finance was named:
EL North, E. J. Niewohner, H. T. Spoerry,
John Tannahill, C. A. Newman.
Mayor Fitzpatrick is to represent this
city on the committee to be sent from
Omaha to San Francisco, to meet the
regiment on their arrival there, and ac
company them to Nebraska.
Judge Post and Mayor Fitzpatrick are
the local members on a committee of
reception for the state, selected from
various cities.
There is no doubt, whatever, of an
enthusiastic reception of the soldiers of
the First, wherever they may please to
make their appearance in the state. We
think, however, that if they have the
least suspicion that either Omaha or
Lincoln is endeavoring to use their
homecoming as a business and com
mercial event only, all in the interest of
such city, the venture may be a losing
one. Let the welcome be unmixed with
anything of the sort, and entirely free
from objection. The men have been
leading a hard life. Discharged at San
Francisco, they will not be under orders
but will be acting upon their own feol
ings and good judgment, which natur
ally will bring them to their loved ones
by the nearest route.
Fusion for Spoils.
More people than the editors of news
papers, and tho party politicians who
are trying to hold tho uneasy elements
together, are noticing how the land lies.
The Blair Pilot expresses one phase of
the situation:
It's a good thing for the pops in Ne
braska that Edgar Howard runs only
the Papillion Times instead of a state
daily. Howard is demanding of the
pops it share of tho state patronage.
He isn't particular what the democrats
get but he wants that they should get
something. The pops have it mapped
out as follows:
Pop Holcomb, Supreme Judge.
Pop Poynter, Next Governor.
Pop Allen, Next U. S. Senator.
To this proposition Howard says no
and 6ays it in no unmistakable lan
guage. In Nebraska it seems that the
pops are certain to swallow up the dem
ocrats, but in national affairs the dem
ocrats recognize no pop party. It is a
family quarrel, extremely interesting to
an outsider and is more than apt to
force all patronage out of reach of the
"fusion for spoils" party in the near
future.
Sharks anil the Ilend 'What.
Tho presence of any largo quantity
Of easily obtainable food is always anfil
cient to secure the undivided attention
of the shark tribe. When "cutting in"
whales at sea, I have often been amazed
at the incredible numbers of these crea
tures that gather in a short space of
time, attracted by some mysterious
means from heaven only knows what
remote distances. It has often occurred
to us, when whaling in the neighbor
hood of New Zealand, to get a sperm
whale alongside without a sign of a
shark below or a bird above. Within
an hour from tho time of our securing
the vast mass of flesh to the ship the
whole area within at least an acre has
been alive with a soothing multitude of
sharks, while from every quarter came
drifting silently an incalculable host of
sea birds, converting the blue surface
of the sea into the semblance of a plain
of new fallen snow.
The harpooners and officers from their
lofty position on the cutting stage slew
scores upon scores by simply dropping
their keen edged blubber spades upon
the soft crowns of the struggling fish,
tho only place where a shark is vulner
able to instant death. The weapon
sinks into the creature's brain, he gives
a convulsive writho or two, releases his
hold and slowly sinks, followed in his
descent by a knot of his immediato
neighbors, all anxious to provide him
with prompt sepulture within their
own yearning maws. National Review.
What among human ills are more

It would seem us though the
American people had had experience
enough to induce them to devise more
sensible ways of celebrating the nation's
natal day. The Chicago Tribune's list
of casualties this year from 250 cities and
towns, includes: dead, 33; injured, 1,
730; fire losses, $233,070. Injured by
cannon crackers, 731; by powder ex
plosions, 257; by toy cannon, 250; by
stray bullets, 60 all due to the cele
bration of July 4. And this is but a
similar record to that of many preced
ing years, a list of people wounded for
life; a fearfully long list of killed. Try
a better way.

The address of John M. MacFarland
at the celebration of the Fourth here
met with the approval of most people
who heard it. He .declared himself
proud of his native state, Virginia, but
no less so of his adopted state which
had become so famous throughout the
world by the valor, endurance and manly
bearing of her soldiers in the Philip
pines. The First Nebraska has done
more to attract attention to the state
than anything else could have done. In
his speech he dwelt particularly upon
three elements of our civilization neces
sary to the welfare of our government
and the perpetuity of our free institu
tions, viz: the home, the school and tho
church. A few words against the evils
of trusts closed the brief address which
was listened to with close attention.

A correspondent sends us a criticism
upon the manner of a minister in the
pulpit, characterizing it as not being
earnest enough. "The Master said, go
ye out into the highway and hedges and
compel them to come in that my house
may be filled, for there are many vacant
seats that you have to preach to." Our
correspondent expresses the hope that
those seats will not rise np in the judg
ment against those that might have
filled them. Seats at the churches are
not the only opportunities that are not
utilized by the general public, and the
lack of earnestness on the part of the
preacher is not the only or the main
reason why the seats are not filled, al
though more zeal with knowledge might
greatly add to the number of church
attendants.

"Old Folks at Home."
We have just received a copy of the
finest variations on "Old Folks at Home"
that has ever been issued in America.
Composed by J. R. Lerman. It is a
grand and showy Piano Composition,
brilliant and not too difficult suitable
for concerts, exhibitions and parlor en
tertainments. It winds up with an ele
gant Negro Rag Time finale on this most
beautiful melody. The title page is
very handsome and contains a correct
photo engraving of Adelina Patti, the
great singer. All good players on the
piano should be in possession of a copy.
Price 75 cents, retail. All readers of our
paper will receive a copy, post paid, by
sending 25 cents in silver or postage
stamps to the Union Mutual Music and
Novelty Co., No. 20 East 14th St, New
York.
John Buss, who lives up the Loup
about 18 miles from the city, had a
pretty narrow escape from fire on the
night of the Fourth. The children had
been having their amusement with fire
crcckers late in the evening and it is
supposed that some garments near the
screen door of the kitchen had thus
caught fire. At least, after midnight,
the folks were wakened by the blaze
which by that time had involved the
screen door, the other door and casings.
A few minutes more unnoticed, and
there is little telling what might have
become of the house and its occupants.
Stand np for Nebraska.
Editor Journal: I am not going to
ask pardon from any of your readers in
defending Nebraska against any state in
the American Union. The citizens of
Nebraska respond to a call for suffering
humanit as quickly as any people on
earth. I do not know whether Mr. W.
W. Burgess was one of the unfortunate
who applied for aid or not.
I suppose that tho reason why Cali
fornia has never sent a committee out to
solicit aid is on account of the intelli
gence and industry of her people. We
use rope in this state to stake out our
cattle instead of using it to shut off the
wind of some unfortunate. God grant
the day has come that tho Nebraskans
are proud of our people, proud of our
state and proud of our noble boys in
blue who stand second to none' in the
far away Philippines. I should 'just as
soon own a Nebraska blizzard as a Cali
fornia earthquake. W. W. B., come and
take dinner with me, on your return to
old Nebraska. Geo. E. Bakxuu.
Mrs. Sophronia Bhodes.
The subject of this sketch was born in
New York state, removed to Michigan,
then to Lincoln, Nebraska, where, eight
years ago, her husband, Christian
Rhodes, departed this life.
Since that tinio sho has made her
home with her only living child, Mrs.
W. D. Askine.
Last fall she begau to be afflicted by
sciatic rheumatism and we learn suffered
severely since the first of the year, con
fined to the house since the first of May,
death resulting by paralysis, Wednesday
morning, July 5. Short services were
conducted by Rev. Mickel the same
evening at the home in the eastern part
of the city. The next morning, the re
mains were taken to Lincoln, Mr. and
Mrs. Askine accompanying, and after
funeral services conducted by Elder
Nelson of the Seventh-Day Adventist
church, of which Mrs. Rhodes had been
a member, the body was laid to rest in
Wyuka cemetery. She was 65 years old
in May, and her departure will be sin
cerely mourned by all who were favored
with her acquaintance.
The Methodists had a very enjoy
able time Friday night at the church re
joicing over the fact that the mortgage
upon the church property had been paid,
and that the congregation were nearly
free of debt, the only item now being a
balance of $92 on the salary of Rev.
Mickel. Once out of debt, the determin
ation is to "pay as you go," which, it has
been found by experience, is altogether
the best way. Those who made brief re
marks Friday evening were: Mrs. Wm.
Spiece, Mrs. O.D. Butler, Revs. Tyndall,
Mickel and Rogers and Messrs. Ives,
Crauu, Spoerry, Liudstrum and Koon.
A letter from Rev. John St. Clair of
Madison, who built the church, doing a
considerable portion of the work with
his own hands, formed an interesting
part of the proceedings. All the work
men (except himself) got their pay every
Saturday night while the church was
being built. Reference was made to
several exciting incidents while ho was
pastor in charge. The burning of the
mortgage was a welcome feature of the
program. Plenty of delicious ice cream
and cake was served to tho crowd pres
ent, and it was close to midnight before
some of the folks got home.
Last week, just as we were closing
forms for the press, Mr. Albert's son was
brought in from a pond near the Loup,
and there were some particulars of in
terest that were not, at that hour of
writing, available to the reporter. The
other boy with him was Ralph Stiles
and they had gone down to the river to
see young Albert's 6et line. When he
went into the water, he sank like a shot,
and was not conscious until 2 o'clock
the next morning, the sinking was
about 3 in the afternoon. John Wiggins,
who rescued the boy, was about an hour
late in starting on his trip south of the
river. Mr. Wiggins says it seemed a
peculiar thing that the exact spot where
he went down was located and that no
time was lost getting him out of the
water. Dr. Baker tells us that if Mr.
Wiggins and George Hengler, who
helped him, had not done what they did
so as to relieve young Albert of the ac
cumulated slime, there would have been
no use to bring him to a doctor, but
that done and breathing begun, there
was good prospect of recovery. A Jour
nal reader, speaking of this matter, is
very high in his praise of Mr. Wiggins
and Mr. Hengler for their good sense
and good judgment shown in the emer
gency. C. W. Ziegler in the last 'Nebraska
Farmer makes report of the result of
Dr. J. H. Snoddy's treatment of the hog
cholera, on the herd of Gerrard & Zeig
ler, near Monroe. He says: There were
285 head. Dr. Snoddy arrived June 15.
Before that about 50 head had died, and
there were as many as 150 head sick;
counted out 18 head, very sick, and put
in pens as they were beyond the stage of
the disease that Dr. Snoddy claimed to
cure, and he told me so at the time.
They were pronounced by him ac hope
less. These were seen by your repre
sentative, who did not think they could
pull through. The final results are as
follows: After a very stubborn fight
with the disease, on account of the very
wet weather we have had, we lost eight
head out of the pens of the 18 hopeless
lot and six head out of the herd. In
percentages, we saved 55 per cent of the
hopeless lot 98 per cent of those consid
ered curable by the doctor, and 95 per
cent of the entire herd. The disease
was a violent form of swine plague and
cholera. There were nineteen old brood
sows that had had the cholera two years
ago, and strange, but true, over one-halt
of them had it again this time, and some
of them were very sick. I am well
pleased with the treatment and in the
future will not dread hog cholera as I
have in the past I regard the remedy a
complete success when it is properly
used, and I shall keep it on hand con
tinuously in the future.
The Glorious Bay.
There couldn't well have been selected
better weather than went to make up
the morning, noon and evening, in fact
all day long was fine. Tho number of
people in the city was sufficient for the
enjoyment of the occasion in rational
manner.
The parade attracted the attention of
everybody for a brief space, and was
meritorious in all its make-up, the
different companies of the fire depart
ment, and the J. I. Case thresher with
the traction engine occupying the most
space, and taking the largest place in
the public eye. The bevy of young
Misses who represented the states of the
Union enlivened the parade with patri
otic and other popular songs. The
bands which made the welkin ring were
the Duncan, Columbus Cornet and the
Drum Corps.
The city council was in evidence, a
portion of them with Mayor Fitzpatrick
in a carriage with J. M. MacFarland,
orator of the day. Numerous business
establishments were represented- by
more or less elaborate methods of dis
play, and altogether there was a respect
able showing for the time takeu to get
it up. At the Park, Miss Pauline Elias
rendered the Declaration of Indepen
dence in her usual very satisfactory
manner, and those who heard Mr. Mac
Farland's speech, prouounced it excell
ent. J
The rgnmos were interesting to the
contestants, and the firoworks at night
were enjoyed by a multitude of peopie.
One the State.
The official proceedings of the county
board of supervisors show that Lisco
offered a resolution directing the county
attorney to make demand upon J. W.
Lynch, ex-county treasurer and his
bondsmen for the balance due the coun
ty or state, and in case of refusal, to
commence action to recover the amount
due, and inasmuch as the amount due
goes to the state it is therefore the
sense of the board that the attorney
general should assist in the case,
and the county attorney be direct
ed to secure his assistance.
Carrig offered an amendment that a
committee of three be appointed to con
fer with the bondsmen relative to the
settlement of the balance due, and re
port to the next meeting of the board.
Roll called for vote on amendment,
Supervisors Carrig, Held, Kiernan and
Chairman Bender voting aye 4.
Supervisors Diederich, Goetz and Lis
co voting no 3.
Supervisor Lisco raised the point of
order that Supervisor Carrig, being one
of the bondsmen, was not entitled to a
vote on the question.
The point of order was not sustained
and the chair declared amendment car
ried. Roll called for vote on motion as
amended, Supervisors Carrig, Held,
Kiernan and Chairman Bender voting
