The Anzeiger, a well known and popular
German paper of this city, was the towr
talk here yesterday. All those who saw
it are united in saying that w. w. Car
der, the assailant, had no apparent aus
for his belligerent action. 1t seems thai
Col. Karberg and some friends ere IN

Eleventh and N streets when Cardel

speaker and without any show do yor

berg tried to defend himself but was
plaoe ed hors Gu combat without warning,
and before he knew 1t, and hurled head.
long down a flight of stairs leading
to a basement. When picked
up, carried into a drug store
and examined by a physician it was
sound that his principal external injury
was the breaking of his leg near the knee
joint. What internal injuries he re-
ceived cannot as yet be determined. As
the colonel is a large, heavy built man
it is a wonder he was not killed outright.
As it is there is no telling at present
writing how serious the injury may be.
The doughty Carder made himself scarce
IN lively measure. In fact he kept very
shy all the afternoon and it is Just as
well he did, for indignation against him
is universal. The gentleman he assault
ed being one of the most popular and
genial German citizens of Lincoln, and
has ten staunch friends for every hair
this Carder has in his egotistical head.
Carder is at present a bailiff in the dis
trict court. Ye gods, what a peace Of
ticer! We certainly expect to hear of
Judge Pound taking way w. WIS dust
eff in the morning. Prize fighters should
be taken to Wahoo for trial.
Lincoln republicans ratified the nomi-

They spoke after the ballot of choice was
announced and even as 1 pen,these lines l

Courtney, Caldwell and Billingsley, our
Demosthenian trio, still tearing the
last pin feather out of Ingersollian plume
that was placed 50 gracefully on James
G.'s head over eight long years ago. The
night was all excitement. Bontires and
drums and drums and bonfires and
cheers upon cheers that in their con-
centrated power no doubt gave rise
to the severe storm of wind and
rain which visited this city Saturday
night. To cap the climax some one got
out the university cannon against the
canon law, of course, and from midnight
until aurora came skipping arounu for a
cocktail, they scared the women and
.1hildren and half the men nigh into
Tdeath. One young newspaper man of my
acquaintance, whose home is in Canada.
Immediately penned a letter to a Mon
treal paper to the effect that in the states
when the yankees nominate anyone for
president they get out all their artillery
and small arms and shoot any man who
says he will not support the nomination.
1t was a great display of enthusiasm how
ever, and the republicans Of Lincoln
fahould certainly give General Vlfquam,
Vf the Democrat, a vote of thanks, for
Mere it not for his bulletining the dis
patches they would have had to wait
for Saturday mornings BEE for the
news.
Notwithstanding the excitement of the
national convention the coming state con-

ally. Politicians arriving from the differ
ent parts of the state are free in their
expression of opinion that their will be a
break in the two term business in Me-
braska except in the case of the secretary
of state >Roggen. Everybody wants TO
see him renominated for they say there
never was a better nor more faitful Off
cial since the state vas a state. What
they all say must mean something and it
seems most likely that Ed. will have to
pay the expense of another dispatch to
"wife and babies" over his nomination
by acciamation. AS to Governor
Davis and the other bards of the gems
Corvus they will have to put in some
good work between this ana the autumn

Some go so far as to say that there's a
Valentine or a letter of some
sort on the g~ubernatorial can

The political seed it isa very good time to
~ "What shall the harvest be2' This
exceilency of the red above the blue
whiskers super coat-must not think
that the people of this grand young state
are going to stand stoically by and speak
thus, as we understand:
Who'sin or out, who moves the grand
machine,
Nor stirs my curiosity, or spleen;
Secrets of state no more i wish to know,
Than secret movements of a puppet show;
Let me- the puppets move, I've my desire,

M. Funk is remoddling the old opera
house here SO that it will be practically
new. The interior is asnearly like Boyd's
as can be and when completed it will be
n daisy. We are glad to hear that
Manager Church will again have the man
agement. There is no one here that
could attempt to take his place and no
one could be brought here who would fill
the bill at all. 1t is expected that the
opera house will open on the 18th of Sep
TENDER with the 'Pavements of Paris,
under the management of Sam Colville.
Special information comes from Benk.
