The Sussex Standard. which is not yet
a year old, and which started as seven
column paper, has been compelled, by its
steadily-increasing advertising patronage
TO enlarge TO an eight-column paper, and
that, too, despite the fact that it has re-
iected many advertisements that it con-
sidered unreliable or unfit for introduce
ton into the family circle.
The success of the Standard is due
largely to its policy Of keeping perma-
nently in view local interests. and of
seeking TO establish itself as means Of
communication between the people of its
section.
The most successful country newspa-
pers everywhere are those which recog-
nize that it is Of first importance TO cover
the local news OF their fields. This is a
feature that not only influences local
subscriptions and advertisements, but is
the criterion by which the outside adj
vertiser judges in great measure OF the
probable value of country paper as an
advertising medium.

Since gives some very interesting figures
bearing on the fever death-rate, and the
water supplies OF various large towns,
both in Great Britain and on the Cont

Great Britain'--we quote-'it is very sat-
isfactory TO note that London, the only
one supplied with river water is almost
the best, the fever death-rate being only
g. per million; Brighton, &C; Bristol. 81,

EVENINGS ENTERTAINMENTS
Omaha Guards and Their Women
Friends Arc the Guests of the
Creighton Orpheum

Through the courtesy of Manager Jacob
Rosenthal the Creighton Orpheum was
thrown open for the benefit of the Omaha
Guards Thursday night and members Of the
popular organization in full uniform with
their women friends occupied seats in the
confer parquet and enjoyed the attractive
bill afforded by the house. In honor Of the
presence of the soldiers, stacked arms and
aCCoutrements were placed at either side of
the stage, flags were draped around the
boxes and holly wreaths placed effectively
amidst the national colors around the bal
cony. 1t was a large and brilliant audience
and it seemed the actors were on their
mottle TO give a more than usually meritori-
Gus performance, for everything passed off
with vim and force.
One of the good things of the evening was
the violin solo by Franz Adelmann. He
played Schubert's serenade extremely we'll
and the audience gave him such a glad hand
that he was forced to play it over again.
Manager Rosenthal and his assistants did
everything in their power to make the visit
of the organization a pleasant one and all
seemed to have a very good time. Sergeant
James Allen, assisted by Messrs. George w.
Done and Dan Durham, made all arrange
ments for the affair outside the theater and
the successful outcome rejects credit on
their good management.

Reports of the damage done by the big
prairie fire come in very slowly. The fire
started Friday near Thule, n. D., and
burned slowly until the gale of Saturday
came up, when it swept south at a rapid
rate. not stopping until it reached the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul tracks a few
Sniles west Of this city. Leola had a narrow
escape, as the fire came within two miles
OF town and greatly alarmed the peo-
pie, who feared a repetition of the memoir
able fire which wiped out almost the entire
community a few years ago. Rev. George
B. Reds place, about three miles from
Leola, was burned over and his barn with
grain, hay and several head of live stock
destroyed. Another farmer lost 1900 bushels
of wheat, all his hay and farm machinery,
only his house being saved. The district
is quite remote from railroads and few re-
ports of personal losses have come in as
yet. The burned tract is frCcn five to fifteen
miles wide and fifty miles long.

SPRINGFIELD ILL.,, Dec. 2S.-At a gather.
ing OF Illinois republicans for their annual
love feast, a bombshell was exploded this
afternoon by the declaration OF Governor
John r., Tanner that he was not a candi-
date for reelection. This declaration was
made at n special meeting OF the governors
political friends called by himself. He said
Il have not been n candidate for gov
ernor from the time | entered office, and
arm not now a candidate for reelection"
Prefacing this declaration, Governor Tan
ner made a tart speech arraigning the news
papers, which have criticised his course.
The governor said:
My old-time friend. Senator Cullom. has
said at divers times that my denomination
would not only endanger the electoral ticket.
but result in the election OF a democrat tc
succeed him in the United States senate
1t is not my desire that a democrat should
succeed my friend Shelby McCullom. | am
told my candidacy will result in the defeat
and overthrow Of many OF my friends locally
and IN some instances l am led to believe
that 1t is true. | love my party first and my
friends second. High above personal ambi-
ton and political ambition l shall never in
%terfere with republican success in Illinois
or elsewhere
Although Governor Tanners action is cou.
strued by some as leaving him open to &C
cept the nomination, should it be offered hin,
in the future. the friends of the other can
didates are making the most OF his declina,
ton.
The fight is lively between Hanecy, Reeves
and Yates. with Judge Hanecy probably ii

WILL OF LATE JOHN I. BLAIR
oncrcd for Probate Mt BcINidcrc, v. J.
-ENccnted March =, 1S7S-son
Named as Executor.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-The will OF the
late John l.. Blair was offered for probate
in the surrogate's ONCE at Belviderc, y. j.,
today by his only surviving child, Dewitt
c. Blair. The document is very long and
characteristic Of the man in many ways.
II is executed on March y, 1878, when
MIR. Blair was 76 years old, contains no
codicils and so tar as known is the only
will he ever executed. To his wife, who
was living when the will was made, he gave
an annuity and the use OF the homestead
in which she had always lived, He be
qucathed to her his horses and carriages and
provided for their maintenance.
a large number OF small requests and
trusts are made to various friends and con-
nections, many Of which have lapscd by
death. Mr.. Blair also remembered the two
churches in B~lairstown-the Fret prcshy-
terrain church, which he attended, as we'll
as the Methodist Episcopal church. lie pro-
vided also for a certain number OF bonds
to be set aside for the benefit Of the church
at oxford, where his parents are buried.
Both of MIR. Blair's daughters died many
years ago, but in his will he makes liberal
provision for their children. His daughter,
who married Charles Scribner, the pub
Usher, left five children at her death. to
whom a large amount of stocks and bonds
is left for life. their children ultimately to
receive the principal.
Provision is also made for Clarence II.
Mitchell, son Of Clarence G. Mitchell. who
married Mr.. Blair's youngest daughter.
All OF these securities are enumerated in
detail in the text of the will. Their value
Is difficult to determine, as most OF them
are not quoted today, but in all probability
would amount to several millions. All the
remainder of the estate, real and personal,
of whatsoever character and wheresoever
it may be situated, is devised and bequeathed
to Dewitt c. Blair, his heirs and assigns
forever.
D.. c. Blair is also named as sole executor
and trustee and in both capacities vested
with the fullest powers.
