II destroyed nearly every living tree
and shrub and all standing grain and
grass belonging to Joseph Shissler and
bis partner near lake Waha. Also
killed many chickens and turkeys and
hogs for them. Hail stones the full
size of goose egg fell with such force
as to cut the bark and limbs from ap-
pie and other fruit trees, and went
through the roof of a barn with as
much ease as balls shot from a gun.
The destruction at Whites and the
Catholic Mission on Lapwai, was also
very great. $4,000 will not repair the
damage done to the three above named
places. One hundred and eleven mules
came up on the Almota Saturday night

about 20 packers. The 80 or 40 who

fcations and they returned on the AL

learn that court of inquiry will sit at
Lewiston on the 9Th of September and
take evidence. Maj. Wood to be
Judge advocate, Gen. Sully, Maj. Stew

court. On the 10Th July Gen. Sher-
man telegraphed from the Yellow Stone
that Gen. Howard ought to push Jo-
seph's band hard. The difficulty is in
his not being able to get near enough

Nebraska State Horticultural Society
Summer Meeting.
STATE FAIR.

After consultation with the friends
Of Horticulture in various parts Of the
State, it is deemed Advisable not to
hold our usual summer meeting this
season, but to make an extraordinary
effort to have q full exhibit at the
State Fair In Lincoln, September "a,
25, 26, q and 2S, next. Let the friends,
therefore, bestir themselves to this
end. Let there be an exhibit from
every section of the State, and thus
show the existing fact, that success
ful fruit growing Is not, as has been
supposed by some, confined to few
trained growers, and special locsli-
ties; that IL is general-that we are in
the great fruit-belt of the country.
Unusual attention is being attracted
towards our State this season, from
the older States. 1t is already known
that many, seeking to know more of
our region and its productions, will be
In attendance at our State Fair the
coming fall for that purpose. Quite
number of pomologists of national
repute will be with US on that occa-
sion. We have made for ourselves a
national reputation for fruit growing.
Let US sustain it at home. While In
quantity our fruit crop this season
may not be just what we would de-
sire, in quality there is now every
reason to hope for a splendid exhibit.
We would be pleased to know In ad-
vance of the Fair, who will be exhib- |
itors, and about what space In the
hall will be desired. Advise the Sec
retary, D. H. Wheeler, Plattsmouth.
The evenings during the Fair will |
be devoted to such horticultural dis
cussions as may present themselves
for consideration, at the parlors Of the !
Commercial Hotel in Lincoln.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 3.-The
President said to Representative Crit
tenden, of Missouri, to-day, that he
regarded the Southern question as set
tied, and did not concern himself
about the comments on the subject
that his policy might be of tenn porary
injury to the Republican party, but
be did not desire to run the Adminis-
tration in the interest of any party.
His desire was to build up the DOR
mant manufacturing interests, and to
closely apply his attention to the
means Of restoring the prosperity of
the country. He designated no par
ticulsr way. but said that his mission
Is President was to carry peace and
prosperity to the remotest sections OF

The Fsirburry Clipper of the Sd
comes out on the green back platform.
In introducing the editorial making
this announcement, the Clipper says
To-day we raise the green back
Banner, and fully and finally commit
our paper to the advocacy of the prin-
oiples of the greenback party. We
intend to procure our own press and
material, enlarge our paper consider
ably, aud we trust that our efforts will
receive the attention and encourage
men, of all Independents in the
county and vicinity.
We have O very friendly feeling for
the greenback movement to limited
extent. We cannot, however, aban-
don the Republican party, for 1t has
the prerogative of adjusting the mon
ey or any other matter that needs
reformation, and may do 80 whether
the better way be paved with hard
money or padded with'soft. The Re-
publican party is one of progress, and
not welded or pledged to any grooves
of old fogyism. THE ADVERTISER is
ia favor Of greenbacks but opposed to
"infiation"; is in favor of gold, but
opposes making It the sole money Of
the country. This idea will. we
think. not being on any extreme, ul-
timately obtain with all parties.

Senator Jones, Chairman ofthe Sill
yer Com ission, has nearly completed
his report. He takes strong grounds
as was expected in favor of the remon-
etization of silver. As'to the payment
of United States bonds, he says the
act of 1870 is the contract upon which
all subsequent loans have been issued.
In order that there might be no doubt
as TO the specific coin In which the
new loans should be paid, the act
stipulates that they must be paid In
the coin of the United States ofstand-
ard value at thas time, so that what
ever legislation might subsequently,
be had which should depreciate the
value of gold or silver coin, 1t would
be the duty of the Government tn pay
in gold or silver at the staDdard value
In 1870, even if was obliged to strike
new coin of the lawful standard val
ues of that date.-&. Joe Herald.

PARIS, July Sat the termination
Of the recent successful campaign
against Montenegro IL was asserted
from Constantinople that the Turkish
government would be appointed and
the country reduced to the position OF
a Turkish province. Also that Sulei-
man and Saib Pashas were about to
march upon Cettauje without any
further fighting. To acconnt for the
change In Turkish plans II is now an
nounced that Mehemet Ali has been
appointed to command the army in
Thessoly and Suleiman Pasha recalled
to Constantinople, probably with his
army. These measures give point to
reports recently current that Austria
and probably other powers brought
pressure at Constantinople to save
Montenegro from being crushed and
also with a view of taking away from
Servia one pretext for joining in hos
tilities against Turkey.

A cable dispatch to the Inter Ocean
says, regarding England's attitude
toward Russia:
There Is still great excitement over
the dispatch of the 1leet to Besika Bay :.
The explanation given to the powers
that it was to protect Christians and
British Interests, has strengthened the
opinion that the Cabinet have deter
mined to interfere. A similar step
was taken last year on the same
grounds. but the action Of the peace
party, who pointed out that such a
course would encourage the Turks,
compelled the government TO with
draw the squadron.
The GENERAL BELIEF rs THAT ENG
LAND CANNOT ESCAPE A WAR,
now that Russia Is Affronted by the
action Of the government, and It is
said that the Russian Government has
addressed a remonstTance against the
studied suspicion of her motives by
England. The Globe thinks the time
has arrived for action, and that the
movement of the feet is q good begin
ing. Ii, however, trusts and believes
that this is only the beginning, and
that before long the public mind will
be traDquilized by measures of still
more energetic sort.

There are murmurings now being
heard about the "inefficiency of the
Grand Duke Nicholas" He may be
a military genius Of great ability, and
it may be that the Emperor and pub
lie sentiment have been too impatient
and eager to crush the Turks, causing
the Grand Duke to make too much
haste to risk battles, against his bet
judgment. He may not underate the
strength of the Turkish army. bat the
fretful inconsiderate Emperor certain
ly does. If reports of the last week or
two are half true. they have learned
