$25, ten per cent of which Is retained
by the State Board IS an entrance fee,
leaving the net premium of $22 so.
This sum was spent by those having
in charge the exhibit, in defraying in
part, the incidental expenses in max
ing the exhibit-collection and ppr-
chase of fruits, carriage, printing, etc.
The Seeding peaches from Nemaha
were pronounced extraordinary pro-
ductions. Many of the Seeding. ap-
pies were also considered very valua-
BILE acquisitions to the fruit list OF the
country-possessing leading and es-
sential requisites.
The largest apple, and largest peach
on exhibition, by actual weight and
measurement, Were from Nemaha
county. The apple measured l33
inches in circumference; the peach
weighed 90 ounces.
The fruit was all displayed on plates,
| to which was attached a nice card
! giving the name and variety, ana
name of the person in whose orchard
it was grown.
After the fair was over the premi-
um fruit was all given eway, princi-
pally for exhibition again elsewhere.
Some goes to England, some to Mas
sachusetts, New York, Chicago and
Omaha. A large collection is now on
exhibition at the Omaha Board of
Trade rooms. Many small lots were
sent off by individuals to their friends
in the States to show them what we
are doing in the fruit line.
Thus we have briefly given THE
ADVERTISER readers, and the people
of Nemaha county, an account of our
fruit exhibit at the State Fair, and the
results.

Judge Durant, prominent practi-
tloner before the United States Su-
preme Court, is engaged in drafting a
bill to give the Court of Claim much
larger Jurisdiction in the matter of all
Southern claims which have been re-
jected by the Southern Claims Com
mission, either on the ground of dis
loyalty or fraud. This measure will
undoubtedly receive the very general
support of Southern members, who
intend to open the doors of the Treas
ury to the payment of Southern
claims in every manner possible. u

All these things will be gran ted un-
to our erring brothers in time. Their
claims and their debts will be paid. II
Is only question of time, and not g
very great length of time either. The

marks that the Government will soon
be asked to "back up IFS tears with Its
cash." And to be consistent with
late events it will have to do so.

Two U. p. Express Robbers Killed,

KANSAS CITY, September 27.-The
Kansas City Times has special from
Buffalo Station, Kansas, giving par
ticulars of the capture and killing OF
two Union Pacific express robbers yes
terday and recovery Of $40 900 in gold.
About o'clock two men riding Jaded
horses and leading heavily loaded
pony came into the station and stop
ped for refreshment. The station
agents suspicion was aroused by no.
tIcing the name of Joel Collins on an
envelope in the pocket of one of the
men, which was exposed in drawing
his handkerchief. 1t happened that
Sheriff Beardsley, of Ellis county, and
a squad of soldiers on watch for the
robbers were encamped in a ravine
near by, and as soon as the men left
the agent notified the sheriff, who
mounted his men and soon overlook
the robbers. They told him he was
mistaken in the men; they were
Texas cattle men returning home.
The sheriff asked them to return to
the station, which they cheerfully
agreed to do. They had gone only a
short distance when Collins suddenly
turned and said to his companion If
we have to die let us do it gamely.'
Both attempted to draw revolvers.
The Sheriff's posse was too quick for
them and fired, killing both men in
stantly. The gold was sewed up in
the legs cf a pair of pantaloons and
consists of $50 pieces of the mint of
1877. The bodies were taken to Ellis,
where an inquest will be held. There
were no papers on their bodies except
a roll of poetry dedicated to Collins by
young lady. and which he seemed
to prize highly. The name ofthe 9th
er man is not given. Collins is said
to be from Dallas, and to be of high
ly respectable family. Sheriff Boards
ley and citizens are in hot pursuit of
the balance of the gang.

Eai,nr Nehras1ra Adrertiser: A

Editor Nebraska Advertiser:
1t is thought by some to be strange
that the late Democratic county con-
yention should endorse the admins
tration of President Hayes. We do
not SO regard it. From 1861 to the
present time the Democratic party
has not, from pure, sincere motives,
endorsed any act Of the Republican
party, and they do not do so now.
They did heartily approve and rejoice
In the apostasy of Andrew johnson,
and it is only in a fanciful hope that
the present administration may fall
into like disrepute with the Repub-
lican party, that it receives these
smiles from the Democratic counten-
ance. Republicans will deceive them
selves if they believe otherwise. The
southern policy" is approved be-
cause it restores those States to the
good old Democratic rule" which is
abundant reason for pronounciDg it
fright" by the Sheridan Democratic
statesmen. The civil service policy
is endorsed, irrespective of merit. be-
cause it weakens the working force, or
political power, of the Republican
party. Certainly they did not expect
that Tilden would perpetuate the off,
GERS found in Office at his incoming
until cause should be found for re-
moval, yet this is involved in the en-
dorsement of the civil service policy
of the administration. Every Demo-
cratic administration, from Jefferson
to Buchanan, exercised the most ar
bitrary discretion over its appointees,
and do these Sheridan statesmen in
tend to improve on the traditionary
policy of their forefathers? The Re
publicans in that convention doubt
less endorsed the administration in
spirit of sincere approval, but it
must be rare that minds so meet from
such different sentiment. Christian
and Pagan, while each retains his
own faith, do not bow to the same
God unless there is hypocrisy on the
one side or the other,

was present, and applauded Mr.. Platcs
speech. The convention afterwards
Endorsed Mr.. Platt by making him
permanent President of the conven-
ton. George William Curtis was al
so a member of the convention, and
didn't applaud Mr.. Platt's brutal af-
'front.'" but offered the following reso-
Iutiops indorsing the President:
RESOLVED. That the lawful title oi
Rutherford B. Hayes to the Presiden-
cy Is as clear and perfect as that of
George Washington. We gladly rec
ognize his eminent patriotism, proved
| in the field aud in civil life. we
heartily commend his efforts in the
permanent qualifications of the South
ern section of the Union, and for the
correction of the evils and abuses In
the civil service, as strictly coDformed
to his own pledges and TO the declara-
tions of the convention that nominal
ed him, and az tending to the promo
ton of the public welfare. Recogniz-
ing that work Is but begun, we shall
hail with satisfaction its prompt ard
vigorous prosecution, In which the
President may confidently rely upon
the cordial support of the country.
Then came trial of strength be-
tween Mr.. Curtis and Senator Conk-
ling. The former supporting his res
olution in powerful speech aud the
latter warmly opposing. The resolu-
ton was finally rejected by vote OF
295 to 100. The following, which was
reported in the platform and read be-
fore Mr.. Curtis offered his resolutions,
but which was not sufficiently strong
Endorsement, in the opinion of that
gentleman, was adopted:
The office of government is to con-
serve order, peace and safety and to
protect every citizen in the enjoyment
of every right implied by the consti-
tuition and laws. Unity and fraternal
relations in all the States and sections,
and between ali States and sections, is
of the first and highest importance,
and the Republican party of New
York will heartily support every
measure authorized by the law adapt
ed to establishing and maintaining
commercial and industrial prosperity
tranquility and justice. and obedience
to lawful authority. The Constitution
ordains that 1.-The United States shall
guarantee to every State in the Union
republican form of government ;
the only republican government
known to the constitution of any
American State is government chos
ell by the people. The question
whether a case has arisen requiring
the President to employ the military
forces to protect State authority
"against domestic violence" is by the
Constitution committed to his decis
ion and to his responsibility. Taking
no issue with any decision of this kinC
which has been made by any Nation
al Executive in respect to the employ
ment of troops, and expressing NJ
opinion in regard to the methods anC
attendant proceedings employed In
any instance. we cherish the hops
that the action taken I'm relation Il

The Season of In.ermittcnts.

All miasmatic complaints, in other words,
all disorders generated by unwhOlesome ex-
halations from the earth or water are Preva-
lent at this season. In every section subject
TO the visitation of fever and ague, or other
forms of intermittent disease, the causes
which produce these maladies are now ac-
lively at work. This, therefore, is period
of the year when the inhabitants of such
districts should prepare their systems to
meet the unwholesome condition of the at
mosphere by a course of tonic and Alternative
treatment. Foremost among the invigor-
ants, recommended by time and experience
asa means OF fortify1ng the system against
all endemic and epidemic maladies, stands
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. By timely
use OF the BItters, the feeblest resident of
an unhealthy soil may escape the sickness
which, without the aid of this potent ally of
nature, Will be apt to overtake the strongest.
