McLean for governor on the first ballot. Fusion at the conventions is one tbiBff; fusion at the ballot-box will be quite another thing this year in Ne braska. M. P. Kixcaid of O'Neill was nomi nated for congress by republicans of the Sixth district, in convention at Lexing ton Tuesday of last week. The Inter Ocean is the great repre sentative republican newspaper of the middle west, and well worthy the in creasing patronage it is receiving. The Thirty-third annnal encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic be gan Monday at Philadelphia, with the prospect of an immense attendance. Scientists of Boston have recently been experimenting with wireless tel egraphy, and have succeeded in sending and receiving a distance of twelve miles. "To the office-holders belong the ofJtees," is a motto that seems appli cable in other parts of the country as well as to fusion conventions in Platte county. Politics in Nebraska is beginning to up, but the September atmos ie yet too hot for the office s' brigade to do much in the way of soliciting. With the leaving of the Tennessee 84 Iowa regiments all the volunteers will have left the Philippines, also all the saen of the regular army discharged I B B9MF n 8ff order No. 40. That flag docs not mean one thing in the United States and another in Porto Kico and the Philippines. There has hcen doubt in sonic quarters respecting the policy of this government in the Philippines.

B sbooooooooQoexxxxKxsooooaods A IKKEHSE TTHDERTAKIHG An Absolute Heed for Tears, Begins to be met This Month, and Will Beqoire Millions of Dollars. The Union Pacific has this month be gun the great task of double tracklaying its one thousand miles of line between Omaha and Ogden. Because of the topography of tho route through which the road passes this becomes almost as gigantic a task as the original construc tion of the road, It is not intended to make much publicity of tho double tracking, as it will not be completed un der two years. The work is to be done in sections, probably a dozen gangs working on different parts of the road at the same time. The first piece of double tracking is now being done be tween Cheyenne and Sherman Hill, a distance of 50 miles. This will enable the company to get its heavy freight and passenger trainB over one of the worst places on the road. While the double tracking is under way the kinks in the line will be taken out and many of the roundabout curves abandoned. It is believed the road will bo shortened nearly forty miles as compared to the original survey. Several tunnels will be cut down, while in other plaices there will bo new tunnels to overcome grades and curves. It is a piece of work that involves a vast consumption of money, engineers estimating that tho company will spend 35,000,000 for grading and preliminary work, to say nothing of the cost of materia, rails and ties. This work also contemplates the enlarging of every bridge on the road. Railroad World. Goveunou Tanner of Illinois, in his admirable address delivered Tuesday of last week at Charleston, Illinois, at the dedication of the Esistern Illinois State Normal school, emphasizes the import ance of teaching the elements of agri cultural science, a sentiment that needs practical expression everywhere, in the adoption of courses of study, employ ment of teachers, and in the actual work of the school-room. The governor pro ceeded to say: "Too long this has been neglected. Ours is pre-eminently an agricultural and horticultural state. A main source of our wealth is our soil. It is in the interest of the state as well as of the in dividual owner that its fertility be main tained. To do this it must be 'manured with brains.' Our young people who are to become the tillers of the soil must be so educated that they can read intel ligently and appreciate the literature of the farm, including the reports from tho experiment stations as well as the practically scientific parts of the best farm journals. Theso young people must be mainly reached through the country schoolhouses. Are the teachers that are now going out from our normal schools prepared to give instruction in these subjects? Have they been taught agricultural chemistry and animal and vegetable physiology?" A Cross-Eyed View. The Chicago Inter Ocean sums up Bryan's Omaha platform thus: He believed in the war, but was against its results. He loved the volunteers, but was against their achievements. He wanted peace, but repudiated the treaty for peace. He revered the Hag, but wished to see it hauled down. He respected the government, but would not maintain its authority against rebels. He loved the fathers, but detested their policy of annexation. And the Inter Ocean is right in its estimate of the man, the reason being that Mr. Bryan, in his thinking, is like a house divided against itself, or like a man with cross eyes. The Inter Ocean of last Wednesday gives expression to a sentiment that is very general in the whole United States just now: The Nebraska volunteers are back in the corn belt again this morning, more strongly impressed than ever that God's country lies directly west of the Mis souri, between the northern boundary of Kansas and the southern boundary of South Dakota. And, considering the fact that their state has raised 300,000, 000 bushels of corn this year and is go ing to fatten more cattle this fall than any other commonwealth on earth, they are not so very far from being pretty near right. Marquis Ito has often been styled "the Bismarck of Japan," and his late achievements seem only to add to the appropriateness of the appellation. The new alliance between Japan and China is likely to be of untold benefit in many ways to both countries, and must be especially gratifying to China, which was about to be gobbled up by Russia and others. Whip a people and then make that people an ally to carry out your schemes, is not so bad a policy as might at first appear. It worked well in Prussia's case, and we believe it will be so in that of Japan. The country will hail with gladness the order that hazing at the government military academy must cease. Philip Sheridan Smith, a cadet at West Point, who was appointed by Congressman Sutherland of this state in 1897 and whose home is at Juniata, Neb., was summarily dismissed last Thursday upon the order of the secretary of war for the hazing of a "plebe." It was not his first offense. The Nebraska City News with a grave and virtuous air makes this declaration: The democratic state convention at Omaha laid down the law that no man holding office in the state of Nebraska shall ride on a railroad pass or accept telegraph or telephone franks. That settles it. The fusion party came into power on the anti-pass issue. But that didn't "settle it." After getting into office every f usionist in the state house, except Sam Lichty,.went round with his pockets bulging with free transportation. And Silas was reputed to be the most per sistent pass begger in the lot Lincoln Journal. 9OOO0gXXX9OQOSOQQQe Admiral Dewey arrived at Gibraltar Monday morning, 9:15. He is slightly indisposed, and intends living ashore during his stay. The Olympia is ex pected to sail September 11 direct for New York. Sunday night, about midnight, John Mullane, a plumber, was struck in the middle of the forehead by a hammer supposed to have been thrown by Tbos. Bainbridge. He will probably die. The deed was done in a row on the Midway, Omaha. The warm words of appreciation of the good work that patriotic soldiers can do, uttered by President Lincoln at Gettysburg, echoed in sentiment by President McKinley at Pittsburg to the returning soldiers from the Philippines, are being re-echoed all over the country by its loyal citizens.

The Houring mill at Albion, which was burned down Monday night of last week, was worth $20,000, insured for two-thirds that sum. It was thought for a while that tho elevator containing about 14,000 bushels of wheat was sure to go, tho force of water being a little short of reaching it, but, says the Albion News, "Louie Clark screwed down the governor on the engine, which was work ing at direct pressure, and the result was satisfactory, the water going clear over the tall structure." Between two and three thousand dollars worth of flour in an ad joining store-room was also destroyed. John M. Curtis is rather a large customer to be attacked by a kissing bug, but so it was Monday. It didn't touch him on the lips, however, perhaps because he uses tobacco, but kioked him on the neck it wrs a sting instead of a bite. "Fatty" went to a doctor to see about it, (the thrust produced a sharp stinging pain and caused considerable swelling) but that individual was bo in terested in the insect that he was about to become unconscious of "Fatty's pres ence altogether, when John called him to time by saying the bug would surely die, but he would like to know whether the bug's victim could pull through. A few drops of medicated juice allayed the pain. Under the glass the bug is a formidable looking insect. "Nothing is more eloquent than the facts," is the way Dun's Review for Au GuBt 26 begins its weekly account of business' and finance. As to affairs in general, it has this: "Business is running beyond expectations in almost every direction, with the striking feature that in almost all lines it is pushed forward by a consuming demand far beyond speculative ideas. Neither is the buying usually due to prospects of higher prices in the future, but is mainly because buyers must have the goods in order to meet the demands on them, in many cases paying premiums for quick deliv ery which cut into expected profits. There is unusual freedom from labor disputes, the chief trouble in very many quarters being that enough hands can not be found to do all the work. In many parts of the West women are en gaged in harvest and farm work to an extent never before seen." The Boll of Honor: The names of those soldiers of Co.

Stearns, formerly this county, residing in what is now known as Grand Prairie township (in the former days as Stearns Prairie precinct), was in the city Thursday as one of Fullerton's com mittee of reception for the returning soldiers. Along in the TO's he kept what he called the Half-way house, be tween Columbus .and Madison, a place where hundreds of people traveling over the then very sparsely settled region, found good lodging and food for them selves and teams. Mr. Stearns looks much as he used to do, only grayer, and says that at the late reunion he was recognized by a number of Grand Army comrades of the Elkhorn valley who had stopped with him at the Half, way house, but' whose faces he had him self forgotten, although he remembered them by their voices, as he used to recognize them when they would come to his place in the night and rouse him from his slumbers. Mr. Stearns was a correspondent for The Jourkaij in those early days, his letters, as we now look back over them, forming a very good history of the progress of that locality. He was glad to see the Fullerton sol diers returning, but sorry that his own son was not of their number, having laid down his life in the service of his country. Written for The Journal. I GREETINGS TO COMPANY K. BT L. A. 1WINO. No more the bugle's brazen blast Calls up the serried ranks of battle men To go where bullets flying thick and fast Give promise none of safe retain again. But in the habiliments of men Who stanch and steadfast stood aad won the ngnt. Come greetings from your friends at home again That bid you banish warfare from your sight. Depending not upon the iron shard. Nor shot, nor shell, nor yet strategic move. Nor shedding blood upon the flowered sward. Will we oar greatness as a nation prove. And in the time when Peace subdues the earth. And garners for our good her blessing fair. Let us remember you as men of worth Who of all blessing earned the fullest share. State's Reception to Fint V ebraska . The State Reception to the returned First Nebraska regiment that will be held at Lincoln September 13, 14 and 15, will doubtless be the greatest patriotic demonstration in the history of Nebras ka. The citizens of Lincoln have con tributed largely and freely, that the re ception may be made all that money can make it, and the people of the state can do the rest. Every member of the regiment will have his railroad fare paid to and from Lincoln; he will be given the best to eat that Lincoln ladies can furnish, and every line of entertainment will be his. The Annual Grand Army Reunion with thousands of veterans of the civil war in attendance will be held at the same time. The State Encampment of the regi ment of the National Gnard is held the same week. Soldiers of the Second and Third regiments will be present from all sec tions of the state. The Military Parade on the 14 will be the greatest of its kind ever held in the west and the return of the flag of the First regiment to the Governor at the close of the parade will bean interesting feature. The battle of Manila will be put on on the nights of the 13, 14 and 15 at the fair grounds and it will be pre sented as never before with a display of fireworks but seldom seen in a lifetime. Low excursion rates will be given on all roads reaching Lincoln and none should miss the great week at the State Capital. The soldiers of the First regiment will be rested from their long journey home and first home greetings will be passed. They will all be at Lincoln and tho peo ple of the state should meet them by thousands and tens of thousands. District 44 and Vicinity. O. McGann is thinking of building a new barn on his premises. M. Sheedy is building a new barn 24x 24x12, and John Griffin, son of P. S. Griffin, is the carpenter. At the rate seed wheat is taken from Home Farm, there will be none for bread. A local ad. in The Journal did it. George Lusche has raised his dwelling house on farm, built an addition thereto and is painting everything np in good colors. Everybody expects to be in town this Wednesday to participate in honoring the soldiers of the First Nebraska. "So may it be." Oh, yes, I came near forgetting to re port barley, for 'tis from that we get our beer. Barley was a good crop of grain, but all colored. School began here Monday, with Miss Hoehen of Columbus as teacher. We hear that school commenced in the Reed school house also, last Monday, with Miss Elliott teacher. And now we have it from good au thority that we must pay 15 per cent more for all agricultural implements, farm wagons and machinery next year, than this. We would like to stand up for Nebraska without feeding a trust. Cornwell & Sons were threshing at John Browner's Saturday, with their new straw blower. We also noticed a steamer threshing on Dr. Evans' farm oast of city, and another steamer at work on what looked to be the Win. Meays' place. There are no peaches, few apples and plums. Of pumpkins, squashes and melons there are thousands. Corn is good, but that which was checked is badly down on upland. Oats good, spring wheat good, rye poor, and fall wheat almost nothing. Time is precious with the farmer just at this season, with hay stacking, and grain to thresh, fall plowing and seed ing, and there are those weeds that we intended to cut along the road and fence lines. It is pretty late, but down they come, and next time we will strike them earlier, and before they go to seed. Weather Report. Review of the weather near Genoa for the month of August, 1899.

Many county superintendents and principals the past year have expressed to Director Wallace their appreciation of the work done at the Preparatory School to the State University at Lin coln. They recognize that it supplies the lacking link between the smaller schools and the University. Several principals have asked for announce ments to distribute to their students, as they wished them to finish prepara tion for the University. During the year, nine principals, three city school superintendents, numerous other teach ers and deficient University students attended advanced classes in this school. Students feom eighth grade and country schools enter the lower classes and com plete the work in one and one-half to two years, thus saving two years or more of time and consequent expense.
