Sixth District Republicans WI Next
Nominate Candidate for Congress.

The republicans Of the Sixth dis
trict will meet next week at Colby
to nominate congressman. There
is no lack Of good timber from
which to select and any one OF the
gentleman who are candidates be-
fore the convention will be salts
factory to the republicans of the
district. Norton county will pre-
sent the name Of Frank III. Lockard
the well known senator from that
district. Smith county will go to
the convention with strong dele
cation in favor of the popular Billy
Nelson, at present assistant state
treasurer. Ellis county is for ex-
Senator Hill p. Wilson, one of the
pioneer republicans of the north
west and at present receiver of the
Wa-Keeney land Office. Trego
county is for Judge Harlan, at
present postmaster at Wa-Keeney
and formerly a member of congress
from Indiana. A. r. Buick, an
influential farmer of Lincoln county
and W. B. Smith of Jewell county
will also be candidates before the
convention. 1t comes from pretty
good authority that Sheridan county
will present the name OF ex-Con-I
gresham e. j. Turner. Mr.. Turn
er. who has recently returned from
Washington, does not say that he is
a candidate and no one has author
itv to present his name to the con-
vention. but there is reason to be-
lieve that if. after assembling at
Colby the delegates manifest de-
sire to have Mir. Turner again make
the race for congress in the Sixth
district. he would be quite willing
to accept the nomination. A great
MANI republicans feel that he was
unfairly deprived of the nomination
two years ago and openl, favor

nominating him at this time. The
convention will be good natured
gathering, and it is not improbable
that nomination will be made BY
reclamation. 1t will be hard
fight no matter who is put on the
ticket, but there is good reason to
believe that the republicans will win
back the district. The democratic
convention is called at Hill City on
July 20. 1t will indorse William
Baker. Nobody knows who Viii
liam Baker is, except that he is an
alliance Congressman, but that
makes no difference. Boss Click
has given instructions for fusion in
the Sixth district. and it will be
done. Baker cannot get thousands
OF votes that he got two wears ago.
He has accomplished absolutely
nothing In Congress, in fact has
never been heard of since he arrived
in Washington.-Copital.

Weather Predictions.

The weather prophet is usually .
humbug. If not Intentionally an inn
poster he deceives himself. The re-
mark does not apply to the men who
run the official weather bureaus in this
and other countries, for they are not
prophets and do not profess to be so.
Their predictions or indications are
much of the same character as the re-
mark made by man who sees rum
away horse coming down the street and
says: ''He will be here in few min
utes." They are informed by telegraph
or otherwise that certain storm condi-
lions exist at a named place, and they
know the general direction in which the
storm is moving. Hence they can adj
wise that-it will probably reach another
area, and do so in much the same way
that railroad official will predict the
arrival of train several hours in adj
vance.
But the weather prophet, says the
Chicago Tribune, properly so called and
improperly so considered, does not make
his predictions from such data. He
claims to have Independent informa-
ton that storm conditions will rage at
some time and place, which he states
more or less explicitly before those con-
ditions are known to have exhibited
themselves at any other point. This is
the kind of work that has been failure
from long before the publication of
"Old Moore's Almanac down through
the times of Pardridge, Tice and Wig
gins to the present day. Occasionally
the prophets have struck coincidence,
and Old Moore was singularly successful
in the moist climate of England by
stringing along through the column for
a whole month the words: "About-
these-days-expect-rain," or similar SEN
fences, which covered q great deal of
ground with little meaning.

Free silver has just received its
death blow in the house for this
session at least, the motion to adopt
the resolution Of the committee on
rules setting apart to-day and to-
morrow for debate On the Stewart
free coinage bill being defeated.
When the house met the previous
question was moved and carried =
1853 to 129. Then the roll was
called for absentees. but the major
ity in favor of ordering the previous
question was SO large that it was
useless. The vote was not strictly
a test vote. The question then
came on the adoption OF the resolu-
ton, and this was defeated by de-
cisive vote. The official vote was
1876 yeas against 154 nays. The
Stewart silver bill will thus repose
at the foot ofthe long list Of dead
bills on the house calendar.

FULLY SCoTT, of Oberlin, kas..
chairman Oh the Democratic state
convention, which closed at Topeka
Wednesday, was at the Blossom

was feeling rocky as he expressed
it, from the effects of the convention.

his Democracy.

but, after all. it was harmonious.

How about the Fifth district,
headed by Joseph G. Lowe?"
They will stand by the conven-

the action unanimous, because there
WAS strong opposition to it. but the
opposition WAS merely one Of judg-
ment as to The best means to accom-
pIish the same end. We have no
love for the Peoples party. Their
ticket is net so strong Us the Demo-
Gratis would have nominated, but it
is a safe ticket and will beat the
Republicans. We will organize at
once and conduct a vigorous cam
paign. We Will have nothing to do
with the Peoples party except to
dates for speakers that do
not conflict. There is no fusion.

Il New Ef;unninant.

A German inventor has devised a
means Of producing light superior in
strength to either oil or electricity. It
is by means of air driven through pun
ice stone. the latter having been inn
pregnated with berzine. The benzine
gas thus obtained is then carried
through fine magnesium powder and
proceeds upward through pipe to be
consumed in a small fame of a claimed
four hundred thousand candle-power.
The apparatus for producing this light
consists of blast-engine for driving
the air through the pumice, and num-
Der of other accessories, all of which
take up but small space and which
are inclosed in glass case for protec-
ton from the elements, as the light is

There is no reason why the task Of

THE appropriations made by The

100000 in excess of those made
by the last Congresse during its

democratic ticket, and bartering
away the political birthright of the

populists, in opposition to the pro-
test of respectable minority who
are. and always have been true to

Gratis of the state meet with US at

stances, refuse to follow the dictum

4 Substitute for Glass.

The newest of the many substitutes
for glass which are constantly appear
ing is the invention of Viennese glass
manufacturer, and seems likely to be
especially useful for Photographic pur-
poses. This product is said to have sub
stantially the same properties as glass,
resisting the action of salts and alkalies
and dilute acids, besides being inodor-
Gus and transparent. 1t has, howe er,
the advantage of being flexible and in
frangible to a great degree, while its
infainmability is much less than that of
its collodion prototypes. 1t is so simply
made, according to the Philadelphia
Press, that photographers can under
take the process of manufacture for
themselves without much difficulty.
From four to eight parts Of collodion
wool are dissolved in about one hundred
parts by weight of ether Or alcohol or
acetic ether, and with this is intimately
combined from two to four per cent. of
castor oil or any non-resinous Oil, and
from four to ten per cent. of resin of
Canada balsam (soft resin). The COM
pound, when poured On a glass plate
and subjected to the drying action of a

Centigrade, solidifes in comparatively
short time into transparent. glass-lil1e
