the storm last Friday evening was the
heaviest that has visited that section of
the state for some time. An inch and a
quarter of water fell there, but theyonly
had a taste of the storm, which was
much worse further north. At Ord and
Sargent over four inches of water fell,
amounting to a flood, and the accompa

to crops. There was a tornado of wind
at Sargent, doing much damage. Nearly
every windmill in the village was blown

away and the streets full of floating
debris and small outbuildings. The B.

some delay in trains. It did not hail
here and the wind was not high enough
to do any damage.

services at the church the remains were
conveyed to the Bellwood cemetery,
where Rosa and Merle now sleep side by

be closed.
It is one of those things that private
citizeae hare a right to know, and we
are inclined to put considerable em
phasis on the word right.
When men act in a reptssentatigu ca
pacity, they have bo authority except
what is derived, snd they should be dear
in the motives which they bring to bear
in the conduct of a public oSce, no mat
ter how small it may be. These are
places of public-trust, where men are ex
pected to do their duty to the best of
their aaality.
It is not yet too late to retrieve your-
selves, gentlemen, and you ought to do
it. The mayor will doubtless veto the
ordinance, and give such strong reasons
for his veto that not a man of you but
ought to line yourself up along aide of
Clinton C. Gray in standing for the
rights of tbe city.
Thk Iqxiksxl. sees no other reasonable
way for you to vote. You cannot ignore
the facts in the case, and they will be
made plain qrigh
Mayor Held will doubtless be right in
nia views of tee situation, as to business,
and as to the law of
the
case and why
not be with him.
The city has rights that
must be re-
spec ted.
Let the Union Pacific put its freight
depot somewhere on its hue so as not to
obstruct any more of our streets. They
now have a coal chute on one. a round
house on another, and have had a freight
and passenger depot on another since
1S77.
' They have done the proper thing with
their new passenger depot put it on
their own land. Now let it be the same
with them when they build a new
freight depot, coal chute or round
house build on their own.
Reserve the streets for the safety and
convenience of the people.

When it came to selecting delegates j
to the state convention, there was con

The following list were named, with
no special contest except in the case of I

and others spoke in favor of Mr. Jewell,
and finally he was voted in, the prepon
derance in favor of Jewell being suffi
cient to make the chairman reasonably
sure in the decision.
The delegates were then mentioned as

After considerable talk about instruct
ing delegates, which seemed intended
mainly to draw out any opposition that
there might be lurking round against
the re-nomination of Governor Poynter,
a form of resolution was agreed upon
that seemed to give the most perfect)
satisfaction to all phases of opinion, and
was doubtless the best that could be had
by the friends of Mr. Poynter.
The nomination of D. A. Beeher by
the democracy for representative of
Platte county, and also that of Wm.
O'Brien for eennty attorney was en
dorsed by the populists, and John Gib
bon was spoken of for float representa
tive and W. A. Way for state senator,
for recommendation to the respective
conventions, when they shall meet.
