Bimetallic currency debate at St Louis convention
The Silver Convention at St Louis renews the push for bimetalism, arguing gold and silver should be equal legal tender. It notes silver coinage limits, discusses US coinage ratios, and urges remonetization and expanded silver coin production to counter European demonetization and boost South American trade. It also lists military and social notices from Fort Leavenworth.

Fish Commission Visit to Sidney and Nebraska Fish Culture
The Nebraska Fish Commission party led by Superintendent Martin E. O'Brien and Commissioner W.G.L. May visited Sidney on the distributing car, met by Gen. Morrow and Mayor Morrow, and hosted with an informal reception. O'Brien, a renowned fish culture expert with Canadian and U.S. experience, presides over a growing program that hatched sixteen million fish this season, including nine million wall-eyed pike, and plans to stock streams, ponds, and rivers with various species. The commission, funded by state appropriations totaling about $12,600 plus extra, also builds infrastructure and plans contests at the state fair to foster national interest in fish culture.
