The reunion of the men who were delegates to the first republican national convention, the one which met in Philadelphia June 17, 1856, ought to attract the attention of the whole country, if it takes place. It is pro- posed to hold it in the same city on the same day of the month in 1896, just forty years after the first convention. There was a cer- tain propriety, according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, in the gelection of June 17, the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill, for the men who called the convention saw that though the party might fail to win in this canvass, its victory, its Saratoga and Yorktown, would come-soon afterward. They were justified in that hope by the success which ™ the party had in the congressional election of 1854, which occurred only a few months after the legislation—the Nebraska bill of May 30, which broke the Missouri covenant and threw the territories north of latitude 36 degrees and 30 minutes open to slavery—which had called the republican party into existence, It ‘was a notably strong body of men which gathered In Philadelphia on that historic day of June, 1856, to frame a national organiza- tion for the republican party. All the free states,and Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky of the slave states, were represented. Maine sent James G. Blaine; Massachusetts, Charles Francis Adams and E. R. Hoar; Connecticut, Gideon Welles; New York, Preston and John A. King, Hiram Bar- ney, John Bigelow, M. H. Grinnell, Ed- win D. Morgan and Reuben E. Fenton; Pennsylvania, David Wilmot; Maryland, Fran- cis P. Blair; Ohio, Joseph M. Root and Joshua R. Glddings; Indiana, Henry S. Lane; Michigan, K. 8. Bingham and Isaac D. Chris- tiancy; Minnesota, Alexander Ramsey; Kan- w8, 8, C. Pomeroy; Illinols, Norman B. Judd, John M. Palmer and Owen Lovejoy, and Wis- consin, John F. Potter and Timothy O. Howe. Theso were among the men then or subse quently well known to the country who took part in that convention. Of course the result of the convention—the nomination of Fremont and Dayton—is well known to the country, but-the fact is not so well known that Lincoln was an aspirant for the vice presidential candidacy, and received 110 votes, Dayton, the successful man, get- ting 269, and Nathaniel Banks, who a few months earlier was chosen speaker, forty-six. This was about the first time that Lincoln's name had been heard of outside of Illinols and a few of the adjoining states, and a story is told In the New York Times of June 20, the day after the nomniation, that R. P. Spalding of Ohio, one of the delegates, when he heard the name mentioned, asked if Lin- coln could fight. Then W. B. Archer, one of the Hlinols delegates, imped “at least cighteen finches from the floor,” beat- ing the air wildly with his arms, and cried out in a voico heard on the streets: *“Yes, sir; Lincoln s a son of Kentucky." The debate with Douglas two weeks later, which was published in one shape or another in all the principal republican papers of the country, gave Lincoln the prominence which gained him the candidacy in 1860. The republicans were beaten in 1856, as most of them ex- pected to be, but it they had carried Penn- sylvania (they had New York with 80,000 plurality) and Tllinois, both of which they secured in 1860, they would have won. It was a great start for a party which had just entered the national field. Two years after its Bunker Hill draw—in the congressional elections of 1858—its Saratoga victory oc- curred, and two years later than this came its Yorktown. Nearly 600 delegates were at the convention of 1836, but a very small room would hold all of them who are living now. e GAVE UP THE SECRET. e Man Who Ordered the Assa Missionary Ridge. The Michigan delegation, when it returned from Chattanooga, carried tnformation which supplies, after thirty-two years, an important historical omission, says the Globe-Democrat. As is wel lknown, the attack which carried the steeps of Misslonary Ridge and resulted in the capture of that elevation, was no part of General Grant's plan of battle. Who gave the order that started the troops was never known. General Grant wanted to know, but could not find out, nor could anybody else, General Tom Wood, now on the retired list of the regular army as major general, sup- plied the missing information. It was he who failed to interpret General Rosecrans’ written order at Chickamauga and fell to the rear in- stead of closing up on Reynolds. For this he was court-martialed, but escaped punishment by showing Rosecrans’ original order. Two months later at Missionary Ridge Grant orderer the men to charge the rifie pits, and expected them to stop there. He was angry when, after the capture, he saw a line of men straggling up the hill. In tell- ing the story, Tom Wood said he was im- portuned to allow a further advance of his men, and told them to go on If they thought they could take the heights. He admitted that he was responsible, and said that his admission would have lost him his rank had it been known years before, and would have v going on the retired list a4 major general. Wood's fault, if fault it was, led to the driving of the rebels back, a8 General Grant was forced to send Sherman an order to sup- port Wood's gallant men. Grant tried for vecks to learn who ordered the men on, and promised Instsnt dismissal from the service it he found the man who did it. — Bother About an Emblem, The Boston aldermen have caused the cor- poration counsel eonsiderable worriment by requesting his opinfon whether the historic wooden llon and unicorn that decorates the old Boston state house have a right to be Qisplayed. Councilman Conroy is the man who raised the question under the law for- bldding the displaying of any forelgn flag or emblem on public buildings. He holds the lion and unicorn are emblems-of Great Brit- aln, but others disagree with him, and the corporation counsel is likcly to have no trouble In saving the old emblems from spoli- ation under the guise of patriotism, 1t on {Inrge audience. Rev. Mr. Giltnor was |hu’ this | Laird for | SATERDAY, FIXED THE BOUNDARY LINE Work on Nebraska's Northérn ' Border Ao- cepted by the Land Office, OTHER CONTRACTS IN TH|S STATE LET ¥ e Surveys of Islands In Nohraska and Towa Allowed and Refised—Rec ommendations for Changing from the Contract System. WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—(Special)—In his annual report to the secretary of the interior mmissioner of the General Land Offi Lamoreux speaks as follows of the boundary line between the states of Nebraska and South Dakota: “By the sundry civil act of August 5, 1892, an appropriation of $20,000 was made for the sugyey of the boundary line between Nebraska and South Dakota. Pro- posals for this survey were invited by adver- tisement, the contragt was awarded to the lowest bidder, Joseph H. Jenkins of Winona, Minn., and under date of Ma 1893, Jen- kins entered into contract for the execution of the survey in accordance with the specifi- cations and special instructions, for the sum of $11,700. Mr. Jenkins made full returns of his surveys in May, 1804, and an examina- tion in the fleld was ordered in August fol- lowing. The specifications required the mark- ing of the boundary line by stone monu- ments, located at intervals of one-half mile, the initial mile and terminal monuments to be seven fect long by ten feet square, all monu- ments to be firmly set in truly vertical posi- tion, and one-half their length in the ground, and ‘conspicuously, neatly and durably marked with lines and figures cut clean and smooth In the stone. The report of the examiner showed that the work, taken as a whole, was done with great care and was executed In a conscientious and efficient manner. In view of the favorablo report of the examiner the survey of the boundary line was accepted by letter to the surveyor general, dated Septem- ber 15, 1894." GRANT AND HOOKER COUNTY SURVEY. The commissioner says that the act of con- gress approved August 9, 1894, provided for a resurvey of Grant and Hooker counties, in tho state of Nebraska, and that the sundry civil act, approved August §, 1894, made an appropriation of $16,000 for making the sur- vey. The general land office advertised for proposals for executing the work, and upon consideration of the proposals for executing the work, and upon consideration of the pro- posals submitted, contracts were awarded to the following lowest bidders: Willard W. Alt, for classes 1, 2 and 3, liability $3,800; Noble §. Dixon, for class 4, liability $1,380; Jonas E. Chambers, for class 5 and 6, llabil- ity $3,120, and Willard W. Alt, for class 7, liability $2,200. It was stipulated in the public notice for proposals that “‘the requls- ite resurveys and surveys of metes and bounds of existing bona fide claims of actual occupants, to be executed In compliance with specifications and instructions and existing official surveying regulations.”” In the speci- fleations, which were issued in connection with the public Invitation for proposals, the resurveys were divided into kpeclfic classes, from 1 to 7, inclusive, and bids for the re- surveys and surveys were fncluded in one. Several or alk of the seven classes were re- celved and entertained. “It 18’ estimated that the resurveys embodied in forty full, and threo fractional townships, will consist of 171 miles of sectional lines, The extent of the claim and_connection lines, dependent on the number of settlements, and the area of their holdings, and other 'conditfons cannot be definitely determined until executed in the fleld. The estimated liability of each con- tract as awarded and approved does not in- clnde the cost of running and marking on tho ground the metes and bounds of the re- spective claims of settlers, or of connecting the claims wtih adjoining public surveys. Under the terms of the approved contracts tho returns of the resurveys and surveys thereunder are to be filed in the general land office on or before December. 81, 1895. “SURVEY OF SIOUX LANDS, The commissioner also says that of the ap- propriation for public surveys for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, the sum of $7,000 was originally apportioned to South Dakota. Additional apportionments amounting to $2,630 were made to cover the expenses of tho authorized surveys of the ceded Sioux lands in Nebraska, situated immediately south of and closing on the state boundary lines, and for the survey of that part of the aban- doned Fort Randall milltary reservation lylng in Nebraska. Under these apportionments four contracts and one set of special instruc- tions were awarded, issued and approved, the liabilities of which aggregated $9,530. One of the contracts provided for the survey of the Fort Randall reservation, situated in South Dakota and Nebraska, and another embraced the ceded Sloux lands lying west of the military reservation and east of the ninety- ninth meridian, which is the eastern boundary of the Rosebud Indian reservation. Six con- tracts were awarded and approved providing for surveys within the Lower Brule, Rose- bud and Pine Ridge Indian reservations. The liabilities of these contracts, amounting to $17,906, are payable from the appropriation of $20,000, made by the act of March 2, 1895, for surveying and allotting Indlan reservations in South Dakota. The mileage upon which the office work was completed and returns transmitted dur- ing the year is as follows: Five thousand four hundred and twenty-three miles, twelve chains, sixty-thres links. Surveys to the amount of $12,200 under the annual appro- priation for 1894-5 have been completed in the feld, and a portion of the returns have been completed and transmitted, but no final ac tion was taken as to approval. Retlrns of surveys of ninety-eight townships and of forty-eight original and amended mineral surveys were approved during the year, in- volving the preparation of twenty-nine dia- grams and plats and 160 transcripts and fleld notes of public land surveys and ex- aminations; also forty-eight transcripts of field notes and reports of 162 plats and dia- grams of mineral surveys. NEEDS OF THE BLACK HILLS. The commissioner speaks of the recom- mendations made by the surveyor general of South Dakota relative to needed public land and mineral surveys within the district known as the Black Hills, The surveyor genera! says: ‘“The time is certainly arrived when the surveys should be extended over all of what is locally known as the Black Hills region. ~Upon investigation it is found that the exterior township and subdivisional lines should be extended over about thirty town- ships in this reglon in order to embrace ex- isting setilements and for the purpose of enabling the state of South Dakota to make selections it desires in that portion of the state under the termi of Jts act of admis- sion. It s also very important that the exterlor township lines, ghould be extended over the mineral poption of the Black Hills reglon. The extendWig of township ex- terior lines Is desired; thereby to provide a number of survey monuujeits, to which the initial monuments already. established and those to be lereafter established may easily be connected, and thefeby'reduce the num- ber of initial monunients! required. Owing to Increased activity fn 'inining circles in the Black Hills the groups of claims which cluster around the different mineral monu- ments are fast approachiig each other, and the connection with mofigtnents is becoming more and more compl, Fi d, so that it is difficult to locate them, Many of the earlier monuments are indefinitely located, or are entirely obliterated, and the claims tied to them cannot be located ‘only in a general way. The extension of the exterlor town- ship and other lines ovef. this region would easily overcome all difficulties. I therefore desire to call attentlon to this matter at this time, with the view of having the apportion- ment of the appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1596, set aside for the purpose of making surveys in this district made suf- ficiently large to complete a portion, If not all, of this work during the incoming fiscal year." SURVEYS OF ISLANDS. The commissioner gives a list of the formal applications which have been made for sur veys of islands situated in meandered rivers and lakes in the several public land states and territories. The application for a sur- vey of three islands in Virgiuia lake, in sec- tions 20 and 30, township 9 north, range 34, west of the 5th p. m., Towa, was disallowed. The application was approved and the survey ordered of two islands in the Platte river, in sections 13 and 14, township 8 north, range 15 west, and section 7, township 8 norih, range 14 west, Nebraska. The application for survey for an island in the Plaite river in OCTOBE o n 1 | | rections 21 and 30 west, Nebraska, was denled. The appli- | cation was aleo dented for a survey of an Island in the Niobrara river, in section 33, township 33 north, range 81 west, Nobraska, | The application was approved and gurvey ordered for an island ln the Platte, In sections 9 and 10, township 8 north, range 1 Nebraska, The returns of the survey been recelved and examined and (he survey approved. The orlginal returns (plat and | field notes) were xent to the state land office at Lincoln. Triplicate plat was forwarded to the United States land office at Lincoln DELAYS IN THE PRESENT SYSTEM. Commissioner Lamorcux mokes some - portant recommendations for legislation re- garding surveys. He says that taken as a whole the present conditions are similar to | what they were last year, and hs therefore | repeats gome of the suggestions made in bis last annual report. He renews his recom- mendations for a new system of surveying | public lands by which the work shall be pe formed directly by the government instead of under the contract system now In vogue, 1 gives a resume of the various steps which are now taken befor: a survey s finally accom- plished, in the course of which he cites th evils of the present system. He says: “It will appear that delays are Inherent in th present system, and as a matter of fact no survey can be made under existing conditions and the plats returned to the local land office 0 as to enable the settlors to make their filings under two years from the date of thelr application for the survey, and more often it is thres years. In addition to this, where sur- veys require fleld corr-ction by the deputy it not infrequently happens that the appropria- | tion from which the survey is to be paid lapses under the ruling of the comptroller of the treasury that the contract must b com pleted within three years frem the date of the appropriation. When this condition exists it I8 necessary to obtain a deficiency apj priation to meet the amount dus on the vey when the sum is finally accepted as cor- rect.” The commi r says that at first he was inclined to take the customary view of the matter that the delays ar® the result of defective administration, but after a thor- ough investigation of the subject and careful thought he Is unable to see how it can be materially correctsd, and he is satisfied that it is inherent in the system, and that so long as the present system prevails we shall have these tiresome and apparently uajustifiable delays, PROPOSES A CHANGE. The commissioner refers to the proposed amendment to the sundry civil act of last year, the adoption of which he favored. This amendment provided “‘that such portions of tha public lands as may from time to time be designated by the commissioner of the gen- eral land office shall, upon order by the sec- retary of the interior so directing, be sur- veyed under the supervision of the director of the geological survey by such persons as may be employed by or under him for that purpose.”” It was also provided in the amend- ment that all such surveys should be exe- cuted under the rectangle system now pro- vided by law under instructions to be issued by the secretary of the interior. The com- missioner makes recommendations for the or- ganization of a different and more effective plan for that part of his office which is ex- pected to deal with the examinations of sur- veys. He suggests that in the next legisia- tive, executive and judicial appropriation bill an ltem be incorporated providing for ten examiners to coustitute a board of examiners of surveys, at a salary of $2,000, each to be certified by the Civil Service commission. He seys that )f a force of ten trained workers be provided the whole process of field and office examination will be so expeditiously and economically managed that the delay in set- tlement of accoun’s can be reduced to a minimum, except so far as prior tardiness in the work of the surveyor general's office may prolong the delay. S SOLID SHOT ABANDONED, Conlenl Shells of Destructive Power Have Now Take helr Place. The use of solid shot in warfare has been practically given up, says the Washington Star. The projectile of today s a conical shell of steel, hollow, and some times loaded with powder 5o as to explode, or by a time fuse. It fs wonderfully different from the shell -of twenty-five years ago. In those days one could watch the projectile as it sailed through the air in a graceful curve, at length bursting. ‘Therd was even time to get out of the way, under favorable cir- cumstances. But the new style of shell moves at the rate of a little over half a mile a second. On striking a metal target, its energy being transformed instantaneously into heat, It becomes red hot, and a flame is actually seen to burst forth from the point struck. Such a projectile moves, one might say, in a stralght line, and its impact at a distance of a mile seems almost simultaneous with the discharge of the gun. Such a shell, passing near a man, will tear his clothes off, merely from the windage. If it comes very near, though without hitting him, it will Kill him. He drops dead without a sign of a wound. Whereas, an old-style shell would burst into a few pieces, the mod- ern projectile files into a myriad of small fragments, each of them moving with tre- mendous velocity. It may be easily imagined that half a dozen six-pound Hotchkiss shells finding their way into a vessel would scatter death and desfruction in every direction. Protective armor, owing to its great welght, can be placed only over the ship’s vital that is to say, along the middle part of the hull near the water line, so as to cover the machinery. In future battles gunners will direct thelr fire against the unarmored ends of an opposing vessel . LABOR AND INDUSTRY. Dr. Theodore R. Trimby, the inventor of the American turbine wheel and many other important mechanical devices, is yet living. He Is 73 years old and resides in Chicago. Birmingham Is tho greatest brass making town in the world, and it keeps in steady employment an average of 7,000 brass work- ers. Parls comes in a good second. Peter Cooper Hewitt, the wealthy son of one of New York's most famous mayors, is a prominent club man and society leader, but he passes most of his time in perfecting ingenlous labor saving devices. His latest invention Is a machine which has greatly simplified glue making. The number of children under 14 in Massa- chusetts factorles s estimated at less than 1 per cent of the total number of employes, while In 1870 it was over 3 per cent. The Massachusetts law against child labor applies to children under 10 years old, and it is sald that only twenty-four children under the legal age are now working in the state. The new press, which makes a cylindrical bale of cotton, puts thirty-five pounds into the cubic foot, while twenty-two pounds to the foot 18 all that is required of the com- presses hitherto employed. So the new process effects a great saving in room on board of car or vessel. Statistics from the United States rallway service show that one passenger is killed for every 2,000,000 passengers carried, or every 44,103,228 miles traveled. One is in- jured for every 4,709,771 miles traveled, or | one out of every 204,248 passengers carried, National Labor Commissioner Carroll D, Wright says: The decrease in the cost of living during the last fifty years has been marked, for there has becn a positive de- crease, taking all the elements of consump- tion Into consideration; while, on the ot hand, there has been a positive rise in wages in_almost every branch, and, considering all callings, & very large Inerease. If there was no increase in prices and any increase in the rate of wages, there must have been a positive adventage on the side of real wages; but with a decrease in prices and a large increase in wages, the statement that the tendency all along the line has been and is upward cannot be controverted. For years scientists have been of securing direct energy from coal and doing away with smoke and dirt. George Westinghouse thinks he has discovered the secret, and has been conferring with New York railroad officials with a view of dis- placing coal locomotives with gas engines. Mr. Westinghouse said the other day he was forced to the conclusion that a new indus- trial development from the common use of the gas engine, wherein from six to ten times as much power can be obtained from a pound of coal as s now ordinarily obtained through the steam engine, is at hand. Three gas engines of an improved form have been constructed at East Pittsburg, and a fourth of 100 horse power s now being erected. The results already obtained from the three engincs tested justify the expectation that better results wiil be had in the larger size of engines than have been guaranteed by foreign manufacturers.

But now the vexing prob- lem is how to photograph the men, as re- ds the shape of the card. The width of the card does not answer sufficiently for the length to enlarge the face very' much unless only the neck and head are photo- graphed, and without big sleeves—If the figure is made ordinary cabinet size—there is a wide expanse of card left at each side that doesn’t look altogether artistic. But we are bound to photograph men lengthwi on the card, too. It would never do to hav a sweetheart's plcture that didn't corre- spond, when the two principals in a little love drama have reached that point when it ‘would be so nice to have our plctures tramed and hanging together.’ By the way, photograph frames are “turned around,” too, to accommodate the big sleeves, the little chains to hang them up by being now fastened at what was once the ends, but now the sides, Thus, €0 much, and perhaps a little more, has the photographer felt the mighty power of big sleeves. Mr. Dana in n Felleltous Moo Those stories of octogenarians who are yet sharp in business or brain, says the New York Sun, or as poets or statesmen, or in pedestrianism_or horsemanship, are always entertaining, but we don’t believe that any cctogenarfan alive Is much smarter than that Yankee one who, when out the other day looking for things in or about the pleasant vaters that lave the dry land of Massa- chusetts near the spry old town of Ames- bury, caught the biggest and the heaviest lobster ever seen there, a marine crustacean four feet long and welghing twenty-five pounds. There’s an octogenarian worth talk- Ing to, or rather listening to! There is a feat deserving the thought of those younger nobodies who walk high when they catch a two-foot, five-pound decapoda. The giant lobster, who may have smiled when the octogenarian first came within slght, soon ascertained how deceptive may be appearances.

She began using the weed in small quantities about a year ago, and so fast did the habit grow upon her that in three months she was consuming two pounds of leaf tobacco a week. Her parents became alarmed and forced her to discontinue fits use, but so great was her suffering that she twice attempted sui- cide.

EDWARDS BEATEN AT HOME, In tho Ninth ward the mayoralty struggle was_overshadowed by the fight between J, I Dumont and A. G. Bdwards for tho sup- port of the delegation for elty treasurer, It was the hottest kind of contest from the time tho polls opened until the last baliot went nto the tin box, and the result was that Bdwards was routed in his own ward., There wore 601 votes cast, and the Iast one was etill uncounted when the morning papers went to press, but the count had progressed far cnough to establish Dumont's victory, At 1 o'clock the returns indicated that the deles gation would stand seven for Dumont and two for Edwards, as follows: Dumont—J. A. Bev. erly, L. P. Blackwell, J. E. Fuller, Fred Goerne, % T. Lindscy, Henry Livesey, G. Wattle Bdwards—F. B, Bryant, P. B.

The New York Herald's European edition says that Dr. Naegeli, a Belgian physician, bas discovered that yawning has a very salutary effect in complaints of the pharynx and eustachian tubes. According to his view, yawning is the most natural form of respiratory exercise, bringing into action all the respiratory muse cles of the chest and neck. He recommends, therefore, that every person should have a good yawn, with stretching of the limbs morning and evening, for the purpos: of ventilating the lungs and tonifying the muse cles of respiration, He claims that this sort of gymnastics has a remarkable effect In relieving throat and ear troubles, and says that patients suffering from disorders of the throat havo derived great benefit from it. He makes his patients yawn, either by suggestion, imitation, or by @ series of full breaths, with the lips partly ‘closed. The yawning I8 repeated six or eight times, and should be followed by swallowing. By this means the air and mucus in the eustachian tubes are aspirated. The treatment may not be very effective In some cases of throat and ear trouble. But yawning is certainly a great luxury, and, as It is at least harmless, Dr. Naegell's treate ment is worth trying. Foul breath is a discourager of affection. There are more reasons than one for this, Foul breath is always an indica- tion of poor health — bad digestion, To bad digestion is traceable almost all human ills. It is the starting point of many very serious malas Upon the healthy action of the digestive organs, the blood depends for its’ richness and purity. If digestion stops, poisonous matter accumulate s forced into the blood—th }:Lu'r else for it to go. Befor ermented, putrid matter has indicated its presence by making the breath foul, the complexion sallow and muddy, the eyes dull and the head heavy. By and by, the germ infected poisonous matter in the blood causes weakness or inflam- mation in some part of the body. Then comes_rheumatism, scrofula, consump- tion, liver complaint, kidney trouble and a half a hundred other ills, The bad breath is a danger signal, Look out for it! If you have i, or any other symptom of indigestion, take a bottle or two of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It will straighten out the trouble, make your Mnoh pure and healthy and full of nu- triment for the tissues. It is a strong statement, but a true one that the “‘Golden Medical Discovery' will cure per cent. of all cases of consumption if it is taken in the early stages. It will relieve even the most obstinate cases of long standing.
