The grand jury to investigate the

Judge Hawkins In a talk to those

cut from the chin back Of the
head. Both knees and elbows We're
bruised and there were cuts and
bruises all over the limbs and back
1t is evident that the assailant
stood over his victim when he was
helpless and deliberately crushed
his head with repeated punches
with the end of the heavy iron he
welded. Jagged holes, two inches
across, showed the deadly work of
this weapon.
Robbery the Motive.
There is little doubt but that rob-

the purpose of etfectins entrance in

promised the people Of Ellis county
that special term of district court

made to bring speedy punishment

He told them he would call in his
appointment to open court at Kauf-

the court room ready to carry out

war and the Mining Industry.

Secretary Lane has Issued for the first time
a mid-year survey of conditions in the mines Of
the country, report that shows the revival OF
mining to be in full swing. That this is directly
due to the war is admitted by each OF the sew
eral experts who make returns on the various
branches of the industry considered, Coal and
iron, principal products of the mines in the
United States are being produced at very nearly
the normal rate. with steady increase in the
output of iron ore which will bring the total
quite well up to the record figures before the
year is ended. Petroleum production Is up to
that OF last year. while the production of gold
and silver is normal. In the metals most d.
rectly affected by the war demand, a great in
crease in American output is seen. spelter has
increased In price about 500 per cent since the
war began, while zinc Is quoted around 200
per cent higher Quicksilver anthony and
tungsten are other metals that have been af-
fected similarly and have doubled or more than
doubled in price since the beginning of the year
Tin and copper are following the lead Of the
others. Works long idle have been reopened
and general activity prevails in all the min
ing regions of the country. while new sources
of supply of the metals being sought. While
the prices now being paid are not expected to
continue long after the demand created by the
abnormal conditions In Europe have been sat
isfied, the mine owners are coming in for their
share OF the piekings.

We Second the Motion.

We notice that our friend, Met" proposes
10 hold the democratic national convention In
Omaha, and insists that existing favorable con-
ditions make It perfectly feasible to get IL.
Now, we do not know of any great political
convention which we would rather have to meet
here "in our midst" than the democratic ma
tional convention except, of course. the republi-
can national convention. The latter, however,
according TO the claims made by Chicago, has
already been nailed down for that city, which is
also hot after the democratic national conven-
tion, we may we'll realize that Nets pro-
posal is not 10 besuncontested.
II stands to reason, however. that this is
probably the only plank upon when the war
ring democrats OF Nebraska might possibly be
gotten to stand together. II would certainly be
a sight for the gods to see Met" Bryan. the
Senator, Brother Charley" and Colonel Maher
all on the same delegation waiting on the demo
cratic national committee and asking in uni
son for the location for the big convention at
Omaha.
So we second the motion, and stand ready
to cooperate with our sympathetic support for
so laudable an effort to the utmost extent OF
