The following states will votefor state officers in November: Iowa,Kentucky, Maryland, Massachu-setts, Mississippi, New Jersey, Newlork, Ohio, Pennsylvania, andVirginia.

The greatest source of comfortto the populists is the fact thatthey can put what they please intotheir platforms without makingtheir chances of success anysmaller.

The only state officers to beelected this fall are one iudsre ofthe supreme court and two regentsof the State University. ChiefJustice Norval seem to have no opposition ana ins iscenerally conceded. The retirni"- -

regents are Morrill and Knight.

Every sound money man shouldremember that the question is notone of the gold standard or of freesilver in the common sense, but ofbimetallism pure and simple. Underbimetallism all industries and allclasses can strive. A single stan-dard, either of gold or silver, willbe injurious to the country. Standup for honest bimetallism and soundmoney. Kearney Hub.

Spain has already contracted adebt ot $120,000,000 to stirpress theCuban insurrection and has hardtymade a start towards suppressingit. She has also sacrificed a greatmany lives and continuesto pour Spanish soldiers by thou-sands into Cuban death traps, withthe insurrection spreading ever'hour. It is a struggle in whichSpain can neither afford to lose norwin. To lose would be a severeblow to her revenues and to winwould caipple her almost if not quitebeyond financial recovery.

The Nebraska weather-cro- p bul-

portion of the state thewinter wheat is mostly cut andsome threshing has been done. Theyield is light, being generally lessthan half a crop. Oats are fastripening in the southern portion ofthe state by reason of dry weatherand in some localities they are fir-

ing somewhat: generally tlic yieldpromises to be light. In some ofthe southwestern counties they arepartically a total failure and arebeing cut for hay. In the north-eastern section of the state wherethe raintall has been abundant andgrowth rapid, the oats are ripeningslowly and the yield both of grainand straw promise to be abundant.Corn has made rapid growth dur-ing the week although there ismuch difference in the stage of itsdevelopment owing to earlj- andlate planting and in many cases tothe necessity of replanting. Muchof it has been cultivated for thelast time and some of the earliestis tasseling. Sugar beets are gen-erally a good crop and promise aheavy yield; in some cases cultiva-tion of them has been completed.Early apples arc already in themarket from the southeasterncounties where the vieldto be very large.

Settlers who moved away fromNebraska on account of the drouthare the ones who can be most easilypersuaded to again become resi-

Scissored Scintillations.

The monthly deficits are likely tobe smaller hereafter, but there is noassurance that they will disappearuntil the republicans resume con-

trol of the national finances.Now that the free silver craze has

begun to subside in Colorado, wheresilver is produced, no excuse remains for prolonging it in stateswhere the products are all of otherkinds.

Of course the democratic partv- -

will survive, in spite of all it folliesand misfortunes, because, as TomKeed once observed, "there mustalways be a hind end to .the procession."

The new chief of the "WeatherBureau is a republican, and therefore in harmony with the rains thathave recently dampened the prospects of the free silver movementin the west.

Tf Jl ! 1 i 4ii me repuoncan party takes anotion to nominate a southern manfor vice president next year, it willprobably select either H. ClavEvans, of Tennessee, or Win. O.Bradley, of Kentucky.

As the case now stands, the democrats can not hope to carry a singlenorthern state next year, and thesituation is likely to grow worserather than better for them, on thetheory that they have not yet ex-

hausted their capacity for doinjrthe wrong thing at the right time.

The recent official statement ofthe condition of the treasury wasprobably not"doctored"to a greaterextent than previous ones have beenbut the fact remains that if a na-

Gave WayWith the Elks.

Atlantic City, N. J., July 11.Mayor Stoy reports this morning thatall those injured by the collapse of thefloor of tho Casino during the socialsession of the Elks last night are doingwell. Nobody is dead, he says, and no-

body is likely to die.A conservative estimate places the

number of wounded at close to 200. Thoonly one in immediato danger of deathis Frederick Claproth of Camden. Thereport that both Claproth and Mrs.Rockwell of Philadelphia were dead isuntrue. Mrs. Rockwell was onlyslightly injured. All night the doors ofthe hospital were besieged with anxiousinquireri, but before daybreak all of theinjured had been located at hotels andhospitals by their friends and relatives.The accident was caused by the col-

lapse of the second floor of the buildingimmediately over the refreshment pavil-ion. Just previous to the crash, Jen-nings' baud had began to play for theElks and the majority of the peoplewere thus attracted to the upper floor.But for this thero would have been greatloss of life.

Cubar War Correspondent Arrives In NetvYork.

New York, July 11. Frank Wood-ward, the Cubar war correspondent, ar-rived today ou tho steamer Ardandhufrom Gibara, apparently none tho worsefor his trying experiences in Cuba.Woodward, after many weeks of hard-shiD- S,

managed to reach Gibara. Hoproceeded immediately to the UnitedStates consular agency, where he metJose H. Beola, a Spaniard, who is notonly in the United States consular ser-vice but an officer in the Spanish army.Beola, Woodward asserts, treated himin a most discourteous manner. He wascompelled to seek tho protection of theBritish flag aboard the tramp steamerArdandhu, and through the kindness ofCaptain Walker managed to reach homealive. Beola, Woodward says, refnsedto recognize him as an American citi-zen, and declared that all American re-

porters were paid by the Cubans towrite lies.

Woodward tells the following storyof the death of General Marti of the Cu-

ban army. While Marti, with about 200Cubans, was reconnoitering in the vicin-ity of Gibara he fell in with a forceof Spanish troops numbering 2,000 men,who were drawn upon the banks of asmall river. The insurgent scouts wereabout to retreat, when Marti ordered acharge. The Spaniards, taken by sur-prise, soon formed a square. GeneralMarti, mounted on a large gray stallion,which he spurred furiously into a gal-

lop, charged madly on the Spanishsquare, breaking down their ranks. Thehorse became unmanageable andplunged violently, goaded and piercedby the Spanish bayonets. Marti wasdragged from his horse and'bayonetted.

Martl's Death Avenged.Havana, July 11. It is said in insur-

gent circles that Colonel Sandoval, whocommanded the Spanish troopi who sur-prised and killed Jose Marti, has beencaptured by a flying column of guerillascommanded by General Jose Maceo.Sandoval was immediately accorded acourtmartial, speedily condemned fortreason against the Cuban republic andof the murder of its chief and sentencedto be shot. The sentence was carriedout and the body buried. A mark wasplaced upon the grave.
