A Remarkable Cave.

A gentleman of Waycross. Ca, who
has just returned from trip to Decatur
county, says that while he was there he
was the guest of j. A. Connell, who
owns vast acres of land. Mr.. Cornell
went with him to a place on the estate
where there is remarkable waterfall
and cave. The gentleman says: AR
irving near the falls one cannot but be
impressed with the beautiful scenery,
the trees and flowers trailing up the
hillside. A stream of water, which is
fed by natural springs and augmented
by the rain, ripples down the hillside
for miles, and here the water jumps off
and falls perpendicularly eighty three
feet over ledge of rock into natural
basin which nature has formed at the
foot of several high hills. After
the water reaches the basin it runs
about ten feet and disappears alb
ruptly in the earth underneath ledge of
rock. In the side of this rock there is
an opening large enough for q man to
crawl in. Taking lantern we entered
through the opening and found ourselves
in large cave. We went about seventy
FIVE feet and found an underground river
flowing outward. In the cave there is
faint light at midday. AT certain
hour of the day, Mr.. Connell says, that If
newspaper is held at the opening of the
cave it will be carried in by current of
air, and after lapse of six hours the
current drives the paper back again.
Standing just below the cataract at mid
day. with spray cnveloping US, a rain
bow as beautiful as any that has ever
spanned the heavens was seen. This
rainbow is daily exhibition. "-lAtlanta

A Revolving Grand stand.

P. p. Cuplin, OF West Bend, Iowa,
has intended a device which he believes
will make racing even more popular than
it now is. 1t is revolving grand stand,
a continuance that will save the investor
in pool tickets the irksome labor of cram
ing his neck and straining his vision to
see how his ducats are being carried.
The grand stand is supposed to revolve
as the races go, and the occupants are al
ways facing the horses in their journey
to the wire. The inventors idea for the
mechanical continuance of a revolving
stand is to have it set in basin filled
with water, but he discreetly withholds
particulars as to the application of power,
but SAYS that it is just as practicable
with a stand of $4,000 chairs as with
one of 5000. The judges stand is to be
constructed as an ordinary elevator.
The cage will be gradually raised when
the horses start until such height is
reached that the judges may see the
horses passing behind the stand through
the open space between the roof and the
main part of the stand, or between the
upper and lower sections, if the stand
comprises two stories. Il Chicago Inter

What Squirrels Can DO.

The general impression that squirrels
live altogether on grains, acorns and
nuts is not altogether correct. Squirrels
will suck eggs and kill young chickens
and small birds with as much ferocity as
a weasel. These peculiarities are not
often noticed in the squirrel, because the
animal is not bold enough to venture on
extensive depredations in the day time,
but farmers wives who find egg shells in
the nest instead of eggs, or discover half
dozen young chickens with their heads
bitten off, should not always lay their
crime at the door of the weasel.--lChi-

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 5.-The Republican
State convention to nominate an associate
justice of the supreme court and regents

Harrison, of Hall county, was nominated
for associate justic on the fourth ballot,
receiving 664 votes.
After selecting a committee on reso-

When the convention convened, nomi
nations for regent were called and made
without speeches as follows: Q. w.
Haley, of Webster; 81. j. Dobbs, of Gsge;
II. d. Estabrook, of Douglsss; j. B. Con-
way, of York; j. B. A. Taylor, of Case;
Charles Webster, of Sheridan, aud E. w.
Laws, OF Richardson.
The platform reiterated the principles
OF the party enunciated at Minneapolis;
denounces as 'sarbitrary and unpatriotic
the action of Hoke Smith in cutting off
the pensions of disabled soldiers without
cause and without hearing.'
On the question of finance and silver,
it says: 1.-The American people from
tradition and interest favor bimetallism
and the Republican party demands the
use of both gold and silver as standard
money, with such reStf lotions and under
such provisions to be determined by leg
islatlon as will secure the maintenance
of q parity of values of the two metals,
so the purchasing and debt paying
power of dollar, whether silver
or gold, shall he at all times
equal. The interest producers of the
country, the farmers and workiugmen.
demand that every dollar, paper or coin,
issued by the government, shall be as
good as any other. We denounce the in
dependent party in the effort to array the
west and south against the north and
the east as a sentiment OF sectionalism as
bad as that advanced by Yallandingham
in the days of the rebellion, as unpatri-
otto and dangerous to the public welfare.
Ex-Governor John M. Thayer offered
an amendment, including the name o.
Grover Cleveland with that of Hoke
ASmith. The amendment was accepted.
The resolutions were adopted and the
