American free traders want American laborers to compete with such prices. The following states will vote for state officers in November: Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachu- setts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New lork, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The greatest source of comfort to the populists is the fact that they can put what they please into their platforms without making their chances of success any smaller. The only state officers to be elected this fall are one iudsre of the supreme court and two regents of the State University. Chief Justice Norval seem to have no op position ana ins is cenerally conceded. The retirni"- - regents are Morrill and Knight. Every sound money man should remember that the question is not one of the gold standard or of free silver in the common sense, but of bimetallism pure and simple. Under bimetallism all industries and all classes can strive. A single stan- dard, either of gold or silver, will be injurious to the country. Stand up for honest bimetallism and sound money. Kearney Hub. Spain has already contracted a debt ot $120,000,000 to stirpress the Cuban insurrection and has hardty made a start towards suppressing it. She has also sacrificed a great many lives and continues to pour Spanish soldiers by thou- sands into Cuban death traps, with the insurrection spreading ever' hour. It is a struggle in which Spain can neither afford to lose nor win. To lose would be a severe blow to her revenues and to win would caipple her almost if not quite beyond financial recovery. Edison denies that he has been experimenting on an electrical attachment for bicycles. He does admit, however, that he has attach- ed a spring to his wheel with satis- factory results. With this device the rider turns a little switch when he rides down hill and the move- ment of the wheel will wind up a powerful spring which materially assists the rider in mounting the next hill. It is simpler and better than any electrical device that is likely to be produced for some time to come. Ex. A farmers' club in Penns3lvania has been investigating the weight shrinkage in corn after husking. The results of many tests point to the conclusion that corn husked in November loses 16 yz per cent in weight in the crib if left till the following June, and that conse- quently 40 cents a bushel after husking is as good as 50 cents in the June following, saying nothing of "rattage" deficits. By Febru- ary 1 corn husked November 1 has lost 8.9 per cent in Journal. weight. The Nebraska weather-cro- p bul- letin for the week ending July 8th is as follows: The rainfall has been quite deficient throughout the state, being generally less than half an inch, while in some localities none at all fell. In the extreme south-eastear- n portion of the state the winter wheat is mostly cut and some threshing has been done. The yield is light, being generally less than half a crop. Oats are fast ripening in the southern portion of the state by reason of dry weather and in some localities they are fir- ing somewhat: generally tlic yield promises to be light. In some of the southwestern counties they are partically a total failure and are being cut for hay. In the north- eastern section of the state where the raintall has been abundant and growth rapid, the oats are ripening slowly and the yield both of grain and straw promise to be abundant. Corn has made rapid growth dur- ing the week although there is much difference in the stage of its development owing to earlj- and late planting and in many cases to the necessity of replanting. Much of it has been cultivated for the last time and some of the earliest is tasseling. Sugar beets are gen- erally a good crop and promise a heavy yield; in some cases cultiva- tion of them has been completed. Early apples arc already in the market from the southeastern counties where the vield to be very large. promises Chairman Morrill has issued a call for a meeting of the Republican State Central committee at the Lincoln hotel in Lincoln on August 7. After corresponding with tl members of the state committee with a view a ascertaining: their views to the desirability of an early or late convention Chairman Morill states that a majority favors a date somewhere between August 15 and August 25. England has no fear of large un dertakings in the commercial and industrials. For several years it has been working up the tea pro duction of India and Ceylon and has increased its consumption to nearly 30,000,000 pounds a year -- Tea cul- ture is but fifteen year old in Cey lon, yet 280,000 acres are devoted to it, with a capital of $55,000,000. Settlers who moved away from Nebraska on account of the drouth are the ones who can be most easily persuaded to again become resi- dents of Nebraska. Those who were driven out b' crop failure now realize that a drouth-makin- g hot wind like that of a year aro is of rare occurence. There is no reason why the population of Nebraska should not be as lanre by next summer as it ever was in its palmi est days. Bee. ivx-Presid- Harrison is re ported to have said, recently, that the time of late when he most wished he had his gun was when he saw a woman riding a bicycle or chewing gum. If the bicycle craze doesn't subside within a year Mr. Harrison will have to take this back, or all the bic3'cle clubs will be down on him, and as every other voter is likely to be a cycler and to have a wife or sweetheart or sister who "bikes" the consequences may be serious. Minneapolis Tribune. Scissored Scintillations. The monthly deficits are likely to be smaller hereafter, but there is no assurance that they will disappear until the republicans resume con- trol of the national finances. Now that the free silver craze has begun to subside in Colorado, where silver is produced, no excuse re mains for prolonging it in states where the products are all of other kinds. Of course the democratic partv- - will survive, in spite of all it follies and misfortunes, because, as Tom Keed once observed, "there must always be a hind end to .the proces sion." - The new chief of the "Weather Bureau is a republican, and there fore in harmony with the rains that have recently dampened the pros pects of the free silver movement in the west. Tf Jl ! 1 i 4 ii me repuoncan party takes a notion to nominate a southern man for vice president next year, it will probably select either H. Clav Evans, of Tennessee, or Win. O. Bradley, of Kentucky. As the case now stands, the demo crats can not hope to carry a single northern state next year, and the situation is likely to grow worse rather than better for them, on the theory that they have not yet ex- hausted their capacity for doinjr the wrong thing at the right time. The recent official statement of the condition of the treasury was probably not"doctored"to a greater extent than previous ones have been but the fact remains that if a na- tional bank should make sjuch a showing of its business, the comp- troller of the currency would close its doors. The sweeping Republican victory last fall has had the effect to re- new confidence amony the people, and the factories that were closed up following the election of Cleve- land and democratic congress are resuming business, with an increase of wages to the operatives. When it becomes an assured fact that a republican president and republi can congress will be elected every- - tning wm resume us old-tim- e re- publican prosperity. m You can get more for your money in the sure return of health and en-joym- at any of the many resorts on the Union Pacific System than anywhere else on this continent.

Avery, Mayville; South Dakota, George Smith Vermil- lion; Wyoming, A. L. Putnam, New- castle. The general subject of the papers for the morning session was "The Duty and Opportunity of the Schools In Promot- ing Patriotism and Good Citizenship." George H. Martin, supervisor of schools of Boston, was the first speaker. Joseph Baldwin of Austin, Tex., treated the subject of "Patriotism of the Southland." He said tha people of the south rejoice today that the lost cause is a lost cause. The great ques- tion in the south is the lifting up of the colored race to citizenship, and it was being done. He spoke in defense of tho whites in restricting the political rights of the blacks. A. P. Marble, superintendent of schools of Omaha, read a paper on "The Ethical Element In Patriotism." Tooled Minister Bust Is. Pakis, July 11. The Figaro publishes a statement from Ambassador Eustis, in which tho latter says: "The fact is now recalled to my memory that Secretary Vignand introduced M. Routier to mo on May 13, not as a journalist but as a writer. According to my custom I had a conversation with him, but I certain- ly did not authorize M. Routier to pub- lish it. He did not tell me he had such an intention, and if he had I should have taken the necessary precautious. Indeed I should have forbidden him, as would have been by duty, to divulge anything of our conversation. I did not use the language that he attributes to me, and I do not understand why M. Routier thonght he had tlje right to in- vite me to discuss delicate questions of international policies." Took a Sensational Turn. CniCAGO, July 11. The recent failnre of the Leader department store took a sensational turn today, when tho mem- bers of the firm were arrested at the in stance of J. V. Farwell & Co. Carl Dernburg, Lipmau Glick and Joseph Harner were taken into custody upon an affidavit charging them with making false statements in regard to their credit and obtaining goods on tho strength of such statements. The three men were released under heavy bonds. Zella's Suit Against Gould. Jersey City, July 1 1. A motion to subject George J. Gould to a prelimi- nary examination in the case of Zella Nicolans Rnhmann was heard before Justice Lippiucott of the supreme court, in his private office today. The suit is to recover the value of a check which Mrs. Ruhmann says Gould gave her and subsequently took from her. Judge Lippiucott reserved his decision, and said he would probablp make it pub- lic in about a week. Well Known Railroad Man Stricken. Kansas City, July 11. Gideon N. Baxter, traveling passenger agent of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, is dy- ing at the Midland hotel in this city of pneumonia. Baxter was found in his room late last night nnconscions by some of his railroad friends, and it de- veloped that lie had been delirious for several days. He is one of the oldest and best known railroad men in the west. Belief For Starving Armenians. Constantinople, July 1 1 Two gov- ernment officials arrived at Moosh to distribute the funds collected in En- gland for starving Armenians. The condition of the Armenians at Van shows no signs of improvement. The Kurds are continuing their depredations. Lorrillard Has Not Joined the Trust. New Yorit, July 11. The report that tho tobacco firm of P. Lorrillard & Co. has joined the American Tobacco com- pany, the trust, was positively denied by an active director of tho Lorrillard company. Will Have a Peaceful Settlement. Welch, W.Va., July 11. In tho Elk-hor- n coal field the strikers laid down their guns and have resolved to have a peaceful settlement with the operators if they have any settlement at all. Attorney For Alaska Beslgns. Port Townsend, July 11. Lytton Taylor, United States attorney for Alas- ka, has resigned to go into the mining business. Iron Trade Beview. Cleveland, July 11. The Iron Trade Review says: A further heavy inroad on unsold stocks of pig iron was made in Juno according to western pig iron association returns, and while another mouth will show quite an increase in production the recent resumptions have not yet told strougly on the column of active capacity. The fact that even un- der the latest advances buyers of foun- dry iron are still trying to make pur- - and I chases beyond time limits set by most Price producers would indicate that the ad vance has not yet expended its force. ' TWO Casino Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report HUNDRED WERE Floor at Atlantic City INJURED. Gave Way With the Elks. Atlantic City, N. J., July 11. Mayor Stoy reports this morning that all those injured by the collapse of the floor of tho Casino during the social session of the Elks last night are doing well. Nobody is dead, he says, and no- body is likely to die. A conservative estimate places the number of wounded at close to 200. Tho only one in immediato danger of death is Frederick Claproth of Camden. The report that both Claproth and Mrs. Rockwell of Philadelphia were dead is untrue. Mrs. Rockwell was only slightly injured. All night the doors of the hospital were besieged with anxious inquireri, but before daybreak all of the injured had been located at hotels and hospitals by their friends and relatives. The accident was caused by the col- lapse of the second floor of the building immediately over the refreshment pavil- ion. Just previous to the crash, Jen- nings' baud had began to play for the Elks and the majority of the people were thus attracted to the upper floor. But for this thero would have been great loss of life. DENYEB CHINESE IN A BIOT. Rival Opium Joint Keepers and Their Fol- lower Fight. Denver, July 11. Shortly before noon today a large nnmbor of policemen were sent in a hurry to the Chinese quarters in response to a riot call. About iO Chinamen were doing battle with axes, knives, clubs and stones, but on appearance of tho polico wagon, they scattered and sought hiding places. Sam Lung Wa, proprietor of an opium joint, was found with severe wonnds on the head, which may cause his death. He had been struck with an axo by My Gow, a business rival, whose place had been raided by tho polico and who be- lieved the raid had been made at the in- stigation of SamT Tho other rioters were tha followers of these two leaders. My Gow has not yet been caught. Droivncil In the East Biver. New York. July 11. Two men and two women were drowned in the East river last night, as a result of reckless- ness.

Immense Crowds of Young Christian Workers Assemble Beneath Canopies. Addresses of Welcome Delivered by Prominent People. Boston, July 11. Mechanics build- ing has contained big gatherings of all descriptions, but never held ho many representatives from all parts of America as well as from foreign lands as as- sembled thero today for the convention of the Christian Endeavor. Hundreds were unable to gain admission to the auditorium, which holds 15,000. The stage portion reserved for the speakors was occupied by one section of tho chorus of nearly 1,000 voices. This chorus started songs of praise untU President Clarke appeared on the plat- form. The advent of tho founder and loader of the Christian Endeavor meeting was a signal for the outburst of tremendous applause, which continued for several minutes.- - At 9:30 o'clock President Clark called the convention to order. At the close of his address Governor Green-halg- e was escorted to the stage. Tho audience greeted him with the Chau- tauqua salute, thousands of handker- chiefs being waved from all parts of the hall as he took his seat. Hon S. B. Capen, chairman of the committee of 95, then made tho address of welcome in behalf of the committee. Over 6,000 delegates crowded Tent En- deavor. Crimson and white streamers waved all over the tent, tho bnnting be- ing draped from the great center pole of the great tent. Flags and colors of all nations interspersed the streamers, and aided, by their variety, the grand scene. Upon the platform at the extreme end the grand chorns of 500 and the speak- ers and prominent members of the so- ciety were seated. Beforo the time for the opening of the service arrived the chorns and delegates spontaneously started an Endeavor hymn. Other songs followed, and the music was almost continuous until the Rev. T. E. Breck-le- y, D. D., of New York, opened, the meeting according to the program by announcing the first hymn, "Onward Christian Soldiors." At the conclusion of the hymn Rev. W. H. Albright of Boston read a passage from the scrip- ture hud then, asking for the earnest of all tho delegates in the opening session, called for testimony by delegates. For 15 minutes, from alt parts of tho house, came words of praise to the Almighty and good tidings to the Endoavor society. Mr. Breckley was forced to announce tho next number bo-fo- re all who desired had testified. He called attention to the bannor which hung over his head, inscribed "For Christ and the Church, Weloome," and exhorted his hearers as they raised their voices to bear in mind that they should never forget to work for Christ and His church. The Rev. J. K. Cheesemau of Cleve- land read the annual report of the secre- tary, John Willis Baer of Boston. The session then adjourned. It is estimated that almost 24,000 dele- gates attended the meetings,which were held simultaneously in Mechanics' hall. Tent Williston and Tent Endeavor. VYOOmVABIS STO BY. Cubar War Correspondent Arrives In Netv York. New York, July 11. Frank Wood- ward, the Cubar war correspondent, ar- rived today ou tho steamer Ardandhu from Gibara, apparently none tho worse for his trying experiences in Cuba. Woodward, after many weeks of hard-shiD- S, managed to reach Gibara. Ho proceeded immediately to the United States consular agency, where he met Jose H. Beola, a Spaniard, who is not only in the United States consular ser- vice but an officer in the Spanish army. Beola, Woodward asserts, treated him in a most discourteous manner. He was compelled to seek tho protection of the British flag aboard the tramp steamer Ardandhu, and through the kindness of Captain Walker managed to reach home alive. Beola, Woodward says, refnsed to recognize him as an American citi- zen, and declared that all American re- porters were paid by the Cubans to write lies. Woodward tells the following story of the death of General Marti of the Cu- ban army. While Marti, with about 200 Cubans, was reconnoitering in the vicin- ity of Gibara he fell in with a force of Spanish troops numbering 2,000 men, who were drawn upon the banks of a small river. The insurgent scouts were about to retreat, when Marti ordered a charge. The Spaniards, taken by sur- prise, soon formed a square. General Marti, mounted on a large gray stallion, which he spurred furiously into a gal- lop, charged madly on the Spanish square, breaking down their ranks. The horse became unmanageable and plunged violently, goaded and pierced by the Spanish bayonets. Marti was dragged from his horse and'bayonetted. Martl's Death Avenged. Havana, July 11. It is said in insur- gent circles that Colonel Sandoval, who commanded the Spanish troopi who sur- prised and killed Jose Marti, has been captured by a flying column of guerillas commanded by General Jose Maceo. Sandoval was immediately accorded a courtmartial, speedily condemned for treason against the Cuban republic and of the murder of its chief and sentenced to be shot. The sentence was carried out and the body buried. A mark was placed upon the grave. Fifteen Killed In a Collision. Bcenos Ayres, .Inly 1 1.

Japan pays women workers forsixteen hours 10 cents, while menget from 18 to 20 cents. Americanfree traders want American laborersto compete with such prices.

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.

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 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."

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-

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.
