Cuabrox, Neb,, July 0.—[Special to Tne Ber.]—The traveler journeying eastward from Chadron along the upper Bordeaux valley on the morning of the 8d of July might have noticed, here and there dotting the road, the slowly traveling prairie schooner with its tented top, the heavy open wagon, or the lighter and more stylish top- buggy, all filled with expectant looking peo- ple, old and young, all headed in the same direction, and responding alike to the in- quiry “Whither?” “Why, to the reunion.” All day long the vehicles, loaded down with old soldiers and their 1amilies, came into the beautiful grove near Bordeaux station. Here amid the pine-clad hills and rippling brooks the most successful reunion in tle history of the Northwestern Nebraska Soldiers and Sailors association was to be held. The whole of the first day was spent in active preparation for the morrow—tho natal day of the republic—which was to be commemo- rated in the sacred and old-fashioned man- ner peculiar to our forefathers. A few hours had worked wonders in the appearance of the grove. Wh quiet had been wont to reign was now heard on all sides the sounds of joyous voices of youth and the more se- date tones of age; the peaceful spot had suddenly taken on a military air, with the erection of the long lines of white tents, and the sound of fife and drum lent color to the delusion, The notes of tho reveille sounding out clearly on the morning air as the sun rose over the eastern hills aroused the camp to action; and scon the numerous fives botoken- ing the preparation of the morning meal showed that sharpened appetites were not to be forgotten in tho excitements and pleasures anticipated for the d The early trains brought in a crowd of city folks glad to get away for a time from the hotand dusty streets and enjoy the chunge to the cool shade of the grove, Soon the adjutant's call and assembly sounded, calling all to the grand stand where the exercises of the day ‘were to take place. Hon: Church Howe was introduced as the orator of the day, and sustained his well-earned reputation as a brilliant and effective speaker. In the af- ternoon Colonel A R. Anderson en i the audience in his inimitable way maining hours of the day @ spent in pleasant and happy recreation, the oung in the ‘onjoyment of hammock and swing; the older in quiev groups where gossip rcigned supreme; the old soldiers here and there in little knots recalling experionces in less poaceful days. The remaining days of the reunion were spent ina manner characteristic of the old soldier. Neither rain nor mist can dampen his ardor, although both were experienced, and the hours passed quickly and happily by in retating and recalling the thrilling ex- periences of four years of bivouncand battle. The dress parades, aside from the pleasure afforded to visitors, showed that the veteran in the long interval since the war sti'l re- membered the pomp and glitter of the soldier's life, as well as its sterner realities. Special public exercises were held by the Sons of Veterans on the afternoon of the sth. These proved very interesting, and much good is anticipated for the order in the northwest counties, resulting from this union of the sons of the soldiers. On Thu day afternoon the Women's Relief corps 100k ¢harge of the exercis nd it might be added that these interesting exercises were the marked teature of the reunion. Judge Church of North Platte, commander of the department, was a welcome visitor and as- sisted the ladies in their exercise: hursday afternoon. This is the first visit Commander Church has made to this part of the state since the buffalo and Indian held undis- turbed possession. At the business meeting of the association several material changes were made in the constitution of the association, the most im- portant being the admittance into member- ship ln the association of the members of the Relief corps and tho Sons of Veterans. This will make the organization a much more general one and impart great strength to it and give it greator power for future foodwnrk. The Northwestern association s now on & good permanent working basis, and much good is anticipaned from its an- nual meetings. The reunion was located at Bordeaux for five years. The following are the officers of the association for the cnsu- ing year: Commander, G. W. Read; senior vice commander, John Beeley; junior vice commander, H, T. Hite.

COLORADO CLOUDBUBST: One Thousand Lollars Worth of Property Destroyod in that State. Dexver, July 9.—Southern Colorado was visited yesterday by heavy rains, which did much damage. At Lamar one and a half inches of rain fell in an hour. During the storm lightning struck the county jail but little damage was done. Scuth of Lamar a cloud burst in the Witlow Creek valley and an immensoe body of water rushed down tho creek, carrying away the Bed Rock ditch flume and striking the Bent ditch, which brought the torrent into’ Lamar, covering the streots grom one to five feet deep. Many families had to move to places of safety. At La Junta:the heavy rain caused several irrigating ditches 1o overflow and the streets were covered with three feet of water. Fifteen head of horses and a large number of hogs and fowls were drowned in this vicinity, while the crops were badly injured, Trains on the Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific ronds were delayed by the washing away of tracks near Booneville and San Carlos. The rainalso extended into New Mexico, where it was light and of much ben- efit. The total losses by water will amount to £100,000.

This city will send $500 and the county the same to- morrow The injured are having good care from physicians and nurses, put many things. are needed for theircomfort. Clothing of all kinds cannot be sent in too great bundles. Tood for sick will also be a recurring want for many weeks to come. Owing to the severe nature of the injuries the majority have sustained, several months must intervene before they can caro for themselves. Some will linger in anguish for weelks and some will be hopelessly crippled for ife Kentuoky. MipbpLessorovaer, Ky., July 9.—A heavy electric and rain storm visited this section last night in which a shower of sunfish and perch fell. The fish ranged in length from one-half to three inches. DUKE DE VERAGUA’S FINANCE! His Fortung Shattored in a Bull Fighting Venture in Paris. New York, July 9.—The friends of the duke de Veragua in this city are much exer- cised over thestory from Chicago that he has lost his fortune, and ‘that when he re- turns to Madrid he will be without money. ‘Wheother the duke lost the money in spacu- lation in Paris or not it is certain that his finances were in a bad way when he left Madrid for this country to become the guest of the United States. A Spanish gentleman who lives in this ci said today; ‘L heard from a cousin of mine several days before the duke reached this country thit the finances of the duke were not in good shape. What the trouble is T do.not know, but he had been embarrassed for some timo before coming to the United States.” Aunother gentleman suoakinfi of the duke said: “*Voragua lost o good deal of morey in Paris during the exposition of 1880. He was one of the promotors of the bull ring which was started thore, It wasah expen- sive undertaking, and the restrictions put upon it by the government were costly.” Heury Rose, & well known member of the Circulo” Cfolon-Cervantes said that he did not think there was any project on foot in this city to raise a fund to help the duke de Veragua out of his financial troubles. “I don’t think he, as a Spaniard, would accept any aid.” Although the duke may have been finan- cially embarrased while in this countgy ho lived well. During his last visit to New York he was not the guest of the nation but he paid his own bills like any other gentle- man. He stopped at the Waidorf and occu- pied the best rooms in the house, and while there he had the best the hotel afforded. His party was large, and he entertained o great deal during this last visit. If he knew then that he was overwhelmed with money troubles he did not show it to the world, but li 14; casily and enjoyed himself in spite of 1 all, Then Thiat They were sitting in the reading room aftor supper talking of fights and_fight- ing, says the Hotel World. The fresh young “deummer has held the floor straightaway for a full hour and the tales he had told of his own prowess were marvelous. Finally the grizzled ola grocery drummer got up and shook himself. ‘1 ain't much on the fight myself,” he said slowly, “but still I've struck many a blow in my time that [ wishT hadn't,” *‘You have?” queried the fresh young drummer, “‘Yes,” drawled the veteran even more slowly, “and you are one of them."” Then tho fresh young drummer snoaked off up to his room and the others ad- journed to the bar. e New Comot Located, Rocmester, N, Y., July 0.—Prof. Swift at the Warner Observatory this morning re- ceived {rom Alfred Roerdam of Salt Lake City a telegram saying: “Naked eye comet observed at 10 o'clock, July 8, in constella- tion Lynx.” ‘The comet was observed this evening by Prof. Swift aad H, C.

L. LOUCKS HAS CONSIDERABLE HOPES Talks with Men Who Trayel — Ghicago Thieves Steal a Cottage and Pluck the Shields from a Pollceman's Rreast—Short Stories. United State arrived in the Senator William V. Allen ty yesterday from his home at Madison. He ate his Sunday dinner at the Millard, The senator found his time pretty well occupied by friends and politi- clans who called on him. He said he eame to Omaha to make arrangements preparatory to his journey to Washington to attend the oxtra session of congress. Senator Allen was askoed what action he thought congress would take on the siiver question. He roplied: “Ihave boen so en- grossed with my personal and business affairs sinco my roturn from Washington that I have really given the subject no thought, and the information I have had on the question was that which Ihave been able to derive from thoe telegraph columns of the daily press, “I don't believe anything T could say would be worthy of publication just at_pres- ent. Before the extea session is called to order I will have become more thoroughly peated. Lwill go to Washington some tmo fore cougress convenes, 1 think that Prosident Cleveland did a wise thing in call- ing for an extra session. 1hope that it will result in much good and be the means of re- storing public confidence in financial mat- ters, This extra session will be of the greatest importance to the whole country.” i Judiclnl Titles In Texas. At a small gathering of colonels, majors and captains and honorables at the Paxton recently they ro talking about the appli- cation and misapplication of titles, and Congressman_ Lafo Pence of Colorado chipped in as follows: “Back in the carly 60's, President Lincoln appointed Judge E. C. Wells, still a resident of Denver, to tho territoriul Dbench of the future contennial state. Judgo Wells was not as old then as he is now, and tho now title (he had been a plain attorney before his appointment) fitted him Jjust about lile a small boy’s first pair of boots, or a West TPoint graduate’s first regulation uni- form. To say that the judge was proud of his title s putting it miidly t there was an_impromptu gath- bles at one of the leading ho- Senator Wigfall of Texas was an Honored guest. Judge Wells was present, and had his title with him, sticking out whero everybody could use it. When any ono addressed him as_-Judge,’ his delight was_quite apparent. Iinally there was a lull in the conversation, and " Wells, remem- bering that noone had used ‘his title fora long time, turned to Senator Wigfall and said —Senator, I am told that nearly body in your state wears a title of some sort or other. Er—how do they zrade the titles, Senator, or rather what does a mun have to do m_order to be called ‘Gen- eral,’ for instance?’ " uator Wigfall turned slowly around and inan impressive manner set forth the requirements. “Down in Texas,” he said, “if o, man 1 well-to-do, dresses well, drinks lots of whisky, has lots of niggers, spends money freely and has o military bearing, he's a general. If a man meets all the other re- quirements but is not real wealthy, we call him ‘Colonel.’ If onc is eligible in other re- spects but hasn't a military air, he is known as ‘Major. And if he's a plain, ordinary, everyday citizen, ‘Captain’ is his handle as a ‘But, T say. senator,’ put in Judge Wells, ‘what about the sans culottes, the- canaillet In other words,the "low-down whive trash¢’ ‘What are they called?’ i o +*‘Oh,’ said the senator, carelessly, ‘they all are mostly satisfied with being called “judge.”? j"‘l‘lmt was thirty years ago,” continued Mr. Pence, “and Judge Wells has never heard the last of it.” Monamental Effrontory, “I just want to remark that the Chicago footpads have tho greatest nerve of any peo- ple Iever heard of,” said Bily Khent, a commercial pilgrim at the Murray, who handles hardware and has a nerve which takes the edge off of his cutlery samples. “The footpads and burglars of that city would steal anything from the pennies on a dead man’s eyes to ared hot stove. 1suppose you heard of a thief whom Chief Detective Jack Shea put in the ‘sweat box’ as a suspect some time ago. Well, that fellow wert up to Shea'’s house and robbed him of several valuable pieces of jewelry and then wrote the chief a lotter, telling him where he could find his diamond pin and watch. The fellow had pawned them, and Jack was red hot to think the fellow got the best of him, But the worst thing thoy did was several days ago. You have heard that the police- men travel in pairs in the down-town dis- tricts.. Well, two of Carter Harrison's husky pets were walking along on a Lake strect beat, near the river. Just as they came to a dark doorway a couple of knights of the sandbag came out, made the officers throw up their hands, robbed them of their guns, watches and what money they had. It is said that they also took the stars belonging to the coppers and sent them to the inspector of the central detail the next da; “Why, just as asample of nerve, two fellows stole a cottage onc mght, putting it on roli- crs, and wero hauling it away when the man who owned it happened along and thought the building looked familiar. He went over and found & vacancy on his lot which just fitted the house, and with theaid of a police- man he arrested the house and men. They were three blocks away from where the house had originally belonged. The thieves of Chicago don't hesitate at trifles like a ceman, and it takes a big gun in the f & man who will shoot to make them stand back.” Hopes of & Populist. H. L. Loucks of South Duakota, one of the leaders of the peoples party movement, who was in the city Saturday nigh, talked of the general condition and prospects of his party, but spoke particularly of its stauding in his own state, where the movement really learned to walk. “We are in better shape than ever,” saild the South Dakotap, emphatically, *“and any one who has the faintest notion that the independent party in South Dakota is losing ground is deceiving himself. Everybody knows that a season of poor crops wmeans corresponding gains for tho third party. The crops this year in South Dakota, even in the upper Jim River valley, are going to be very light, and there will be no increase i the production of the central and northern counties. We look for- ward to the election of our candidate for the supreme bench this fall, and expect to elect a majority of the circuit judges.” “What do you think will be the influence of the extra session of congress on the finan- cial situation, Mr. Loucks?" “What effect can any legislation likely to be enucted by the present congress have!” was Mr, Loucks' counter-query. “I see that a great many pegple have un ‘idea that the worst is over, and that the calling of the extra session of congress will be the meaus of restoring confidence right and left, with the result that whea the Sherman’ act has been repealed, the country will at énce be in a sound fivancial condition. Ou.what theso optimistic individuals base theirpredictions 1 haven't a notion, but it must be on_hope.” Then Mr. Loucks reminded the newspaper man that the wish is father to the thought, and the thought is pareut to an expression of opinion, after which he permitted him to withdraw from the populistic presence. There was & St Louis traveling man at the Dellone yesterday, aud some of *the boys” were having fun with him, ‘Say,” drawled one maun, who hails from Chicago and wauts everybody to kuow it, ‘I've heard of that town. St. Louis—St. Louis—how big & place is it, auyway! How much of a population do y tosap'se it hast” “'My dear sir,” responded the St Louls ma, glumly, ‘I don't pretend to be-able to say. 1'm not much of & caleulator, anyway. for ealculating. vould lie in the shade 1 knew & lellnw,m;’whn had & great head of tho fenco n tho mereury Was stretching its ok, to get up to the 100 mark and vmhfiu almost the exact number of poungds there were in the load of ha " “gray-headed father end the Trow gwelling hired man had just put up.

Hotel Changos. A change in the ofiice force at tho Mer- chants takes place: today. Sam Carhart, who for a long time has been day clerk, has resigned his position, and will be succeeded by John A. Reardon, who for some time has smilod over tho' register after the shades of night have fallen. Frank Kimble, late of the Millara, will take the night clerkship, and will doubtless wear smilo just as expansive as that of the young man who has been promoted. Tho travoling public will miss Mr. Carhart. but its best wishes will go with him in whatever he undertakes or wherever he goes. pobomist el sy SUNDAY OPENING A FAILURE, Not the Financial Boon that Was Anticl- pated by Muny. CmioAco, July 9.—The attendance at the World's fair today was very light—so light as to raiso doubt in some minds as to whether tho open Sundays are to prove the financial boon to the fair that was expected. While the exposition officials express sati faction over the attendance, it is no secret that concessionaires are generally greatly disappointed at the lack of tho bristling multitudes that were fondly anticipated for this period of the fair. ~As nearly all con- cessionaires are compelled to pay 25 per cent of their gross ceocipts into the exposi- tion’s coffers, thoy are of course, the first to feel the results of light attendance. The Wellington Catering company and nearly all other catering and .restaurant establish- ments are cutting down their forces, and the Higea Water compaiy; the most enterpris- ing institution on_the grounds, has made radical reductions in; 1ts working force until the attendance shall become such as to jus- tify previous expectations. ‘The regular Sunday, services were the only special attraction at.the park today, and the now establisned fact that many exhibits are entively closed on Suzdays no doubt worked somewhat to diminish the Sunday attend- ance. To Benefit the Mochanics. The first of the Michigan Central indus- triul excursions entered . the grounds today. A special train bore=tbout 450 employes of the Michigan Central's car shops of Detroit. All these employesiand _their families are furnished with passes:S Tt is expected that the beneflt thav theyowilj derive from the unsurpassed - exhibition..of . industrial and decorativearts as Werld's fairawill be highly nppreciatod by these .workmen and wiil redound to-the interests of the company in the improvement of their technical skill, the character of their work and the train- ing of their perceptive and inventive fuc- ulties. 7 Commissioner- General Palitschek-Palm- forst of Austria says ho is in favor of permit- ting the sale and immediate delivecy of goods by exhibitors. He said he was not asking more than had 'been graated at pre- vious_international exhibitions, nor more than was allowed certain Am n exhibi- tors at the present World's fair. The latver, as was becoming - generally known, he said, were selling goods quite openiy, and he has been informed that the guards have been in- stricted to close thei to the practice, ai least 50 far as a_cortain fow were con- cerned. The comuissionar insisted that it was only righ®hat all exhibitors should bo put on the same footing. He added that it was an unwritten law, or atleast a lege, at all expositions t restrictions against the sale of articles brought in as ex hibits should not be enforced. Parls Permittod Snlos. At the Paris exposition such sales amounted to 10,000,000 francs, There wero rules similar to those of the Columbian ex- position, but they had served their purpose when they had shut out those who would have come in with gewgaws and fraudulent wares for tho mere suke of traffic. Forcign exhibitors, or many of them, did not care for tho doubtful reward of medals under the present system of judging; their only hope of compensation for the trouble and expense to which they have been put lay in the di- rect sules which they could make. There could be no possible harm in theso logitimate sales, 1f all exhibitors were given the same privilege, Beyond the negative argument in favor of the removal of tions, there was the positive one that visi- tors would be grievously disappointed if they could not purchase souvenivs from among foreign goods, Already it hus been shown that they were not satisfied to buy for future delivery ; nothing shore of carry- ing the articles”bought away with them would suffice. Chief Allison of the Manufactures and Liberal Arts buildivg, complaining of the disorderly conduct of Columbian guards on duty av night in the Austrian section of the Manutactures building, said the guards made frec with all _articles on exhibition, using the choico Bohemian glassware to forgetting to co it Showcases have been opened by guards who had crawled inside to find a comfortable place to sleep.

The hay crop isa failure, the pastures are parched and bare, and the corn suffering severely, V. areas of crops are exceed- ingly patchy, if they are not absolutely spoiled. Labor is reduced to a minimum, water has to be carried long distances, and the attempt is being made to water crops by hand. The prospect has seldom been so cheorless and disheargening as avthe present time. Reports have been received from various points in Europe on the harvest prospects. In Germany they are very unfavorable, and intense anxiety is feit. In West Germany the drouth still continues. The condition of the fodder crop is becoming every day more hopeless. In certain places cattie are being sold at ridiculous figures and in some cases the animals Lave actually starved to death. The calamity is not only an agricul- tural, but a natignal one. The crops in Hun- gary have somewhat improved, owing toa fall of ram, and wheat and rye have almost recovered, while the anxiety. as to the sup- ply of fodder has been removed. In Holland the dearth of water is causing great hard- ships, and agriculture has been seriously af- fected. The winter crops, however, of wheat and rye are satisfactory, but the oat crop is in a backward condition. The dearth of forage is the chief calamity and forage is fetching a fabulous pri i Suffered from an Inundation. VIENNA, July 9.—The desponding accounts which came from Roumania during the re. cent inundation gave rse to grave apprehen- sion lestan agricultural disaster should en- sue. The worst anticipations were set forth as beyond question, and threatened to exer- cise an unfavorable influence on Ktoumania's commercial intercourse. Happily the re- ports now receved dispel these sinister fore- bodings. Owing to the speedy subsidence of the waters the tloods have done no damage, but have, on the contrary been found of ad- vantage in several districts. At the date of the reports it w in a few low lying valleys with clayey soil that any injury to the seed was apprenended. All over the rest of the country. with the exception of certain districts in the southern Carpathian region, the crops have rapidly recovered, and are now in a satisfactory condition.

Germany Has no Fodder, Brnuy, July 9.—The long continued drouth, broken only by short intervals of ram scarcely suflicient to make any im- pression on the parched soil, has given rise destroyed, the empil and the Riiine provinces, s entor- tained for the harvest are justified by the ofticial statistics on the condition of tho crops in Pru In no single instance are the assified as good.

The outlook is mot quite o bad in those districts which have been favored with showers, but the amount of rain has been 5o small and so uvevenly distributed as not to affect the general situation. What it is deemed possible to do for the reliof of the country from the lack of fodder is being done. The Prussian minister of pub- lic works has orderod n considerable tempor- ary redvetion of the riffs for fodder on' the Prussian railways, and also on those of Alsace-Lorraine. In' Wurtemburg also the government is oceupied with the same question, and ameeting of experts has been summoned to frame proposals for relief, AxsterDAM, July §.—There has been little rain in Holland for the lust few weeks, and u severe drouth prevailsin many paris of the country.

CROLERA AMONG PILGRIMS, Causes Great Auxiety on Account of the Number of Mecea Travelers. VieNNA, July 9.—The outbreak of cholera among the pilgrims to Mecca has caused™mo small anxiety, the pilgrimage being this year larger than usual. The Dresden confer- ence did not meet ono day too soon, and be it said to the credil of its principal vromoters, its proceedings were confined o practical precautions for immediate applica- tion in view of the fresh outbreak of which has taken place in other directions besides Asia Minor. The discu sion of many useful measures was pos poued to a futiiee occasion, us it was feared that, had thev been submitted to the confe cnoe at Dresden, they would have deluyed the adoption of the more urgent portion of the program. The execution of the measures de- cided upon at the first sanitary conference, which met at Venice, has beén postponed They were of u fundamental character aff ing international sanitary regulations, and some proparation was necessary beforc they could be carried out. Meanwhile the present outbreak of cholera occurred, and in order that gshe sanitary council at Alexandria should not be impeded in its action by a chauge of system in the midst of an epid- cwic, it hus wisely been resolved to dofer the application of the measures adopted ai the couference at Venico eighteen months ago until next November.

The roform the sani- tary council at Constantinople is, thercfore, of the first importance in view of the rav- ages made by cholera in the Asiatic provinces in Turkey during the last five or six years. The present council is neither Ottoman nor international. OF the twenty-ono members of which it is composed, thirteen represent various powers, and of theso ten are modical men. Tho influesce of the majority, how- ever, is moré than counterbalanced by the of Tight of veto roserved by tho Porte, which it often exerc Further- more, the council is handicapped by the want of any accurate definition of its powers. The cholera regulations of 1867, which are based on tho results arrived at by the conference held at Constantinople in tho previous year, are altored, restricted and ex- tended by a number of circulars, decrees and instructions of which the council itself has not acompiete list. The Revue d'Oricat states the Turkish text of the rules, which has alone been sanctioned by the Porte, does not agree in all respects with the French toxt, by which the representatives of the powers are guided. Sanitary Conditlon Exiremoly Bad. According to the reports of the Ottoman delegates at Teheran, the sanitary condition of Persin duriag the last threo yoars has been extremely bad. It has, novertheless, been found impossible to induce the shah and bis aavisers to establish a sanitary corps ou the eastern frontiers and in the southern parts of the empire. Count Kalnoky, refer- ring to this subject in the delegations, men- tioned that France bad undertaken to inau- gurate an inquiry with regard to the sanita situation in P Though no date had been fixed, the foreign minister was per- suaded that the French government would not lose sight of the matter. He had no ofticial particulars as to an outbreak in Persia, but he felt sure thatall the nece v measures in connection therewitvh would be taken atv St. Petersburg aud Constantinople. — RESS PROGRAM, CATHOLIC €O.
