John Currie. sculptor OF Lincoln,
was in the city Saturday last in further
ance of great work upon which he is
engaged-a statue Of Abraham Lincoln,
the martyr president. 1t is to be feet,
6 inches in hight. and the model has
been prepared in plaster. 1t is 6 feet, 4
inches in hight, and has had the approx
al Of Robert Lincoln. as a good repre-
sentation of his father in 1860. Gov
ernor HOlcomb and ex-GOvernors Thay-
er and Boyd very heartily endorse Mr..
Currie's work. The sculptor is an old
time resident of Nebraska and an old
soldier. and besides is an enthusiastic
artist and patriot. He says that Lin
coin was 6 feet 1 inches in hight and
weighed go pounds. The statue and
pedestal will be q feet high and will be
placed on the capitol grounds at Lin
coin. FHty-fOur tons of marble have
been donated for it by T. s. Godfrey of
Knoxville, Tennessee. 1t will take
probably a year and half to complete
the work, and We have faith to believe
that it will honor the state and do honor
to Mr.. Currie.

Reports Of the army worm coming
continue to be heard and now they are
well over the Platte valley in this
county. Those reporting them are:
John Proxies, S. s. Green, Robert Gray,
J. n. Hill, G. W. Likes, G. H. Moore,
Charles Bailey and others. The worms
have done considerable damage already,
especially to the rye which they have
cleared Of leaves and eaten the heads
badly. Corn is taken clean by them and
oats damaged badly. The farmers are
fighting them and with some success
bitches are made along the fields by
blowing deep and at intervals in the
furrow holes are dug. The worms get
into the bitches and being unable to
crawl ont travel along and get into the
holes where they are prisoners for life.
Some of the farmers have used Paris
green and London purple dissolved in
water and that kills them. The worm
comes from a moth that lays the egg.
The worm is reported bad in eastern
states and is said to follow dry seasons.

At conference held here Monday
all the counties of this congressional
district were represented. Considerable
enthusiasm was shown. The advocates
of the free coinage of silver, 16 to l. un-
limited, are surely in earnest. and while
there was considerable talk as to what
ought to be done, the result reached was
that another conference is to be held at
Norfolk, July ., to name a man for con-
gress who will be presented to the con-
ventiOns Of four political parties for
nomination: the prohibitionists,. popu-
lists, democrats and republicans. Each
county is to hold a mass convention Of
the silver forces and select l2 delegates,
3 from each party, to the Norfolk con-
ference. G. W. Phillips is the commit
teeman for Platte county. Charles
Wooster presided and J. w. Tanner was
secretary of the conference. There were
no set speeches, but among those who
spoke to motions were Duffy. Hensley,
Sullivan. Gerard, Saunders, Schelp,
Albert and Bruen, of Platte, Robson of
Madison and Wells of Merrick.
Peter Hill has sold his driving team
to Columbus parties. This was beyond
doubt the finest span OF carriage horses
in the county =. Ms. George Erb was
called by telegram from Alliance Satur-
day that her father, Mr.. Mccormick, of
Grant precinct, was dying. He has been
very low with dropsy for some time and
all hopes OF his recovery have been about
given up although he was some better
when Mrs. Erb arrived here. The re-
porter took ride yesterday with Theo-
dore Coles to the rye field of John
Proxies east of town where the army
worm has been at work. One cannot
see SO many now, they say, as several
days ago but it is easily seen that much
damage has been done to rye. Most of
the blades on the stalks have been eaten
and then the worms have crawled to the
head OF the stalk and eaten q part OF
nearly every grain on the head, proba-
bly, from fourth to half of each ker-
mel. Many Of the worms have moved
north and begun to attack corn field
on the other side Of the road but the
owner went to work and plowed a small
ditch along the side Of the field and
smoothed down the side next to the
corn with spade. The worms in their
onward movements 60 into this ditch
and not being able to get up the per-
pendicuiar side remain there, where
thousands of them may be seen. A
bird has appeared the last few days in
large numbers which is eating thousands
of the worms. One can see hundreds Of
these birds flying above the field and
darting down every now and then to
capture a good fat worm from the top of
rye. These worms are about an inch
and quarter long and about an eighth
of an inch in diameter Doctor Ste
yens informs us that he will receive an
X-ray light battery this week for exami-
nation and treatment Of his patients.

CONGRESSMAN KEN seems to have
struck a vein of vital routine which
promises to make him somewhat noted
before his congressional career shall
end. He is, at least, working it, ''for all
there is in it." He threatens to be
known in the history of American pol
itics as HOLMAN the second. the great
objectOr. He has come to the conclu-
sion that it is far easier to tear down
than to build mp; that while it requires
an Almighty being to create a rose. Il
little boy can pick it to pieces" His
last performance was the raising of the
question of mo quorum kem seems
to have known that the demand for
absent members would attract par
:icnlar attention-indeed. some Of his
political enemies are free to believe that
the suggestion came to Ken from some
kind. cOnsiderate friend Of his in Ne
braska-anyhow, call Of the house was
made, and Congressman MeiklejOhn was
summoned in by telegraph from the
Nebraska prairies. where he has been
industriously engaged for some weeks
in looking after his chances for the
gubernatOrial nomination.

Mckinley Sure.

OF course the country is looking
towards st. Louis this week, and the
dailies are scanned for the latest news.
As We write this (Monday morningl, it
seems evident that Mckinley will be Sc
lected on an early ballot, il not on the
first, and that the only matters on which
possible trouble is anticipated are the
candidate for vice president, and the
platform.
The presidential candidates do not
seem, any of them, inclined to accept
the second place on the ticket, while
the opportunity may, by some possibil-
ity, chance to be the only one of their
life time for reaching the goal Of their
ambition.
c. w. Lippitt, governor Of Rhode
Island, has given it ont that he wants
the vice-presidential nomination: there
has been talk Of Thurston, but every
thing is at sea as We write.
As to the declaration on money, the
single gold-standard element Of the
party are claiming the victory, whether
it will result that way or not.
The convention will doubtless be one
OF the most important in the history Of
American politics, SO far as its far
reaching effects are concerned.
1t is announced from Canton, Ohio.
that, on the instant of McKinley's nomi-
nation, the Canton city hall bell will be
rung by wire from the st. Louis con-
vention hall, and the whistle Of every
factory will blow and every bell will
ring as soon as the announcement is
made by firing big cannon.

WOMAN AND HOME.
SHOWING OFF CHILDREN.
Praising the Little Ones for Smart
 Speeches Is a Mistake.

Praising the Little Ones for Smart
 Speeches Is Mistake.
 Otherwise judicious mothers find ir hard 10 resist the temptation of show ing off" their children. While this pas time may be delightful to the fond parent and interesting to beholders, its effect upon the child himself cannot fail to be injurious. It is but sowing seeds of trouble for the child which will bear harvest of humiliation and mor- tification in years to come. We con stantly hear fond fathers and mothers say that "when Johnnie goes to school or college he will have his freshness taken out of him."
 But who is to blame for Johnnie's freshness" and his exalted opinion oi himself? The mischief was done when the little chap was hardly more than baby, and was brought into the parlor to repeat to Mrs. So-and-so the droll re- mark that he had made that morning, or the clever reproof he had admin istered last night to hig doting papa. And later on, when the boy learned to read, was he not called upon to regale his relatives by telling them of this event in history or that occurrence in mythology? And they all listened as if they thought him an infant phenome- non, and were glad to sit at the feet of such wisdom. And SO it went on until one day his family awoke to the consciousness that Johnnie was no longer baby and "cute" and "cun- ning." Now he is unbearably pert and disgustingly conceited-on the whole detestible prig. He must be sent away to school. Home is not the place for him. He is simply manageable, and requires outside snubbing to teach him his place. This he undoubtedly re- ceives at boarding-school, where teach CTS and comrades unite to undo the mis- chief done through years of home train- ing. And the boy, at first bewildered. then resentful, loses part of his self importance, and at last mends his man. ners.
 If a mother thinks-as most mothers do-that her child is prodigy, let her exercise enough self-restraint to keep the conviction to herself .--Harper's Ba- Ear.

Testing Cake In the Oven,

Miss Parloa gives the following d; rections for testing the oven in cake baking: "For sponge cake put a piece of paper in the oven, close the door, and open it in five minutes. If the paper is a rich yellow, the oven is right; but if it is light yellow the oven is too cool; if dark brown, it is too hot. For pound cake the oven should be just hot enough to color light brown. Cup cakes require an oven of about the same temperature. All thin rolled cakes require hotter oven, so that the paper should turn dark brown in five minutes. The length of time required for baking certain cakes will vary with their thickness or the size of the pan in which they are baked"

Fresh Currant Pudding.

Pour over squares of stale sponge cake a very sweet custard into which ripe entrants have been stirred and serve at once. Or, stir ripe entrants thickly into rich batter made with two eggs, half cup of sweet cream, one cup of sugar, one teaspoonful of baking powder and enough four to stir thin: pour all into buttercd basin and steam one hour. Or, stir entrants .hickly into a nice bread pudding. Or. put layers of bread nicely toasted and buttered into baking dish with very ripe sweetened entrants between them. Pour over a little water-just enough to moistcn the bread-and bake the pudding about half an hour; then serve it with sweet ened cream.

FOOD FOR CHILDREN.
Few Facts Which Mothers Would
 Do We'll to Remember.

A Few Facts Which Mothers Would Do We'll to Remember.
 No solid food of any kind should be given to a child until it has the larger share of its first teeth. Even then 1t must not be supposed that because a child has acquired its teeth it may par take of all kinds of food with impunity. The digestive apparatus of child diff fers greatly from that of an adult in its anatomical structure, and in the character and amount of digestive fluids, and it is by no means proper to allow child to eat all kinds of even wholesome food which a healthy adult stomach can digest with impunity, to say nothing of the rich, highly seasoned viands, sweetmeats and epicurian dishes which seldom fail to form some part of the bill of fare. Children are not likely to crave unsuitable foods rn- less taste for such articles has been de- veloped by indulgence in them.-Mrs. F. E. Kellogg, in Good Housekeeping.
