Tiik last week of this month the death
penalty by electricity will be executed
on Kemmler now held under sentence,
in Auburn State Prison Xcw York. This
will be the first case of the kind ever ex
ecuted in the world.
Tub loss of life at Johnstown and
neighboring cities has been variously esti
mated, but calculations which, it is to be
feared, are only too accurate, now place
the total between 12,000 and J 5,000. In
other words, the loss is almost as gract as
that of the Union army in killed and
wounded at Gettysburg, and more than
four times as great as the actual death in
Union regiments at that battle.
Tiik second annual distribution of
profits at John Wannamaker's establis
ment was made on the 17th ultimo to
employes who have been seven years or
longer in service. This fund for the
year ending April 15. Iss9, amounts to
$44,1S2 and was distributed among
neatly foure hundred employes. In addi
tion to this there is monthly distributions
of profit, which during the last yewr
amounted to $5"2i'.:. This was divided
among all the employes irrespective of
length of service. Last year $109,439
was distributed in this way.
THE. PROTECT ION OF THE HEAL
The people of the United States have
the same interest in protecting the seal in
liehring sea which they Lad, or ought to
have had, in preserving the buffalo and
antelope. These latter animal, especial
ly the buffalo, were once numerous on
the western plains. Horace Giviley, in
his overland journey to the Pacific coast
thirty years ago, one day saw a herd
which covered many square miles of land,
and which, according to an apparently
trustworthy estimate made by him. con
tained about 1,000.000 animals. Fifteen
or twenty years ago train.-; on railroads in
Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska were not
infrequently delayed half an hour or
more by droves of buffaloes crossing the
tracks, and at a period even more recent
they were pi nttful enough to be seen
occasionally by passengers on trains o a
few of the railroads, and some of, fhm
were so near that they were shot from the
car windows. Now, however, the buffa
lo is virtually extinct in this country.
The fate which overtook the buffalo
would certainly overtake the seal 111 the
Alaskan islands if the strong inn of
the government had not intervened in its
protection. Numerous and extensive
sealing grounds were once fouml in the
rentral and southern parts of the Pacific
ocean, but many of them have been de
stroyed, aad now the animal is practical
ly unkoown in dozens of localities where
once it could have been found by millions.
The same spirit of recklessness and Want
on cruelty which blotted tin: buffalo
from the earth followed the seal to its
destruction. Immense colonies of them
have been swept away as completely and
as effectually as if they had never exit-ted,
and 'slands whuMi, even as late as a dozen
years ago, were made gay and animated
by seal life in its various manifestations
are now silent and desolate. At present
the most extensive and valuable sealing
grounds left are those off the coast of
Alaska.
It being shown by pathetic an 1 cost
ly experience that the only way to pro
tect the seal from destruction was by a
stringent law. rigidly and vigorously en
forced, the United States has converted
the sealing fields of Alaska into a gov
ernment reservation. None of the ani
mals are to be taken except in the season
set apart for that purpose, none are to be
taken at any time save by the company
whicli has secured a lease from the gov
- crnment, and the number which that com-
any is permitted to capture U plainly
set down in its charter an 1 caunot be ex
ceeded. United States vefcsel are at the
sealing grounds to see that the law is not
infringed. In arresting violators of the
law iiu favoritciam is shown. Americans,
Canadian, liritish and the offenders of all
other nationalities being put on the same
ground and subject to the same penalties.
The real issue in the Uehring sea contro
versy U the protection of the seal and the
preservation of an important article of
commerce, and not only the United States
but the entire world is interested in the
carrying oit of this task by our author
tics. Globe Democrat.
SOME HO LID FACTS.
COI.I.KtTKI) ON THE COUNTY COl'HT IIOUSK
ltOND 0,i:KSTION 1ST THE KOAKD OF Tlt ADK
AN1 AIlIKSSKI TO THE VOTKItS
Plattsmotth, Neb., May 15, ISS'J.
The county commissioners of Cass county
having called an election to vote for or
against issuing $s0,()00 twenty-year court
house bonds, wo desire to lay the actual
facts before every property owner and
voter in the county, relying upon their
intelligent consideration of the same in
casting tl-cir vote at the coming election,
June 8th, ISM).
The total bonded indebtedness of the
county is $100,000, These are the rail
road bonds, and the interest has been paid
as it accrued. The principal is due $ 20,
000 in June of each of theyearsof 1N90-!U-92-!:j
1)4. Cash 111 the sinking fund
to pay these bonds is now $50,000, and
sufficient cash in the other funds to pay
all current expenses. So the real indebt
edness of the county is only $50,000 at
the present time
Total valuation county, 1388, $4,743,779,
Valuation of Plattsmouth
City and Precinct, .$1,287,191.
Eighty thousand dollars at 5
per cent will cost annually, $4,000.
Nine-tenths of one mill on the
total valnation will raise $-1,207,
More than sufficient to pay the interest
on the bonds.
The average valuation on eighty acres
of land in the county as shown by the
records is about $450, so that the owner
ot eighty acres woi.ld have to pay a
court house tax of about 40 cents, or less,
each year. These figures are based on
the 1SSS assessment. The valuation will
be greater in ISsO, by possibly $300,000,.
and will increase largely each succeeding
year.
We believe that a new court house
should be built, not only for the sake of
building the same in our city but for the
protection of the records of the county
clerk, county treasurer, county register,
county judge and the clerk of the dis
trict court, in all of which records almost
every farmer and land owner in the
countv is vitally interested.

Alio notort Courteous.
Prompt aud effective was tho action of a
thin, keen eyed woman whom 1 saw in the
millinery department of a biij store, fepm
ster was written all over her face, and a de
fiance of age was noticeable in the material
and cut of her wardrobe, hue iuiorniet a
sales woman',her Easter bonnet must le bought
then and there. She was too tiretl or shop-
pine: to co a step further. The willing but
inconsiderate clerk took down a lioimet of
sober character, with the remark: "This, I
think, will please you; it is very suitable for
a middle aged lady. The spinster quietly
requested her to put the bonnet on her own
head, which tho uusuFpeeting woman, her
self of an uncertain age, promptly did.
Then, looking her full in the face, tho irate
and ancient maiden sweetly said: "It fits
you perfectly, perfectly. You were right: it
is just tho bonnet for a middle aged jerson."
The saleswoman bit her hp and removed the
bonnet in speechless chagrin. She knew her
want of tact hail cost her a customer. The
Easter bounet was sought for elsewhere.

Tiuio to Stop.
Several large retail stores in this city have
out a stop to the practice of sending home
jroocls to customers for inspection, as they
fiud that 6uch articles are frequently used and
then returned with the statement that they
do not answer tho purpose, A lady well
known in fashionable circles recently ordered
from one of the foremost houses two dozen
fairy lamps sent to her residence for approval
Three days afterwards she gave a dinner
party. Among the guests was a member of
the firm in question. The fairy lamps were
used with pleasant effect on the table, spark
ling among the flowers and greens or shin
ing in shady uooks about the dining room.
Imagine the pjerchant's surprise the day after
tho dinner to h'?ar that tho lamps had all
come back to .tho store with a polite note
stating that the lady did not like them. It is.
a positive fact that she had not even the
graco to remove tho stumps of tho burned
candles or wash olT the grease dripped upon
tho lamps. Philadelphia Letter.
Why tlte ScTiooIniu'atn Thrashec) Ilini,
Tho following is n sample of a Friday ai ter
r.oon composition which Adam Biglier wrote
while a bov at echooL We may add that
Adam Bfcrlier was soundly thrashed for it
"A schoolina'am is a verb, because she do-
uotes action when you throw paper wads at
the girls. Switch is a conjunction, and is
used to connect the verb schoolma'am to the

London Without Kml.
London never fails to impress tho tour
bit with ill jioculiar place among the
cities of the world. There are many pre
senting far finer groups of buildings; its
main thoroughfares, such as Regent
street and Oxford street, are not to be
comjiared with those in Paris or Phila
delphia; but there is asolidity in its pave
ment, a steady progress in its vehicles, a
sense of continuity in the endless succes
sion of its streets, an air of unpretending
confidence in its crowds, an unabashed,
monotonous ugliness in its lines of subur
ban villas which is unique. London is
the place where incidents and gatherings
which would move many a metropolis
"to its center" are wholly unnoticed ex
cept by such as happen to come across
them. Even the most popular events.
which may attract some hundred thou
sand people, do not make a sign or ripple
11 the surface of the great brick and
nortar 6ea which surrounds the city
proper.
lie must be a very big man, indeed,
who can draw direct personal notice in
London. Metropolitan news is conveyed
not bv conversation or verbal rumor, but
by journals. Tho "talk of the clubs"
(exalted by some "society" papers) is nn
lfinltesimally small fraction of that
which engages flue metropolis. There is
really no "talk of the town" as distinct
from that of the nation. It is sheer size
which distinguishes London. Not long
ago I stood by the castlo in Edinburgh
and noticed that I could discern men at
work in the fields all around me. There
were indications of separate outside life.
It is so, moreover, in the largo transat
lantic cities. Down tho straight streets
of New York you can catch glimpses of
white sails on the Hudson or East river,
but when you look at London from any
square or bjieu space within its borders.
there appears no proof that it has any
borders at all, or that it ends anywhere.
It might cover the wholo earth for all
you can see. The Cornhill Magazine.
.- 'Wolverines Are l"sly Customers
Few Washington people know what a
wolverine is. They know that Michigan
is called the Wolverine state and that
Michigan ieople are called Wolverines.
But they have little or no idea why the
state was so named or what the nick
name means.
The state is named after an animal
that used to infest, and still freients,
tho dense woods in the northern part of
the state, as well as in tho woods of
northern Wisconsin and Canada. This
animal is tho wolverine, or, as the varie
ties of him found in northern European
countries are called, tho glutton. They
are savage beasts, these wolverines are,
and they play sad havoc with the cattle
of the Michigan farmers. They are like
a cross between a wolf and bear. The
tail and the temper resemble those of a
wolf, but in strength and sizo and sav-
ageness they much resemble a bear.
They are less clumsy than bears, though.
and they can climb trees. Many a hunter
has walked under a tree up in Michigan
without looking for a wolverine in the
tree first, and the wolverine dropped
down on him from one of the lower
limbs, and before the next morning had
eaten him up, buckskin breeches and all,
even to the heels of his hunting boots.
They are ugly looking beasts, tho only
pretty thing about them being their
bushy tail, a foot or so long; Their claws
are longer and sharper than hours', and
their teeth just as sharp.
Altogether tho animal 11 very un
pleasant sort of one to see outsido of a
cage. They are so savage and so wary
and suspicious that it is al::iost impos
sible to catch them alive, and so they
don't have them in circuses and zoologi
cal gardens, and most people don't know
what they are. They are so savage that
hunters don't care to hunt them, and 60
tho wolverine has things about his own
wav where ho lives. Washington Critic.
Osrar Wildo and Joe.
I asked Pryor about tho buncoing of
Oscar Wilde by Hungry Joe. Said he:
"I saw Wilde give Joo the check over
at the Brunswick, but Joe got away be
fore I could interfere. I came at once
to tho Second National bank and told the
cashier not to pay Wilde's check if pre
sented, but 6end for me. It wasn't
twenty minutes until I was sent for, and
there was Hungry Joe himself with the
check. Of course he gave up. Inspector
Byrnes took all the credit of the affair
nevertheless, and I never got any credit
in the matter at all. Hungry Joe got
S4.000 in cash and checks out of the
president of a largo bank in Montreal,
who was a guest at the Fifth Avenue
hotel, but when I told him the banker
was our guest Joe gave up like a little
man. He came pretty near getting lo0

"The boy at the door came and told me
that the general had gone into his room
accompanied by a bunco man. I went
around and knocked at the door. Hun-
ptv Joe was iust coins: away, but I
barred the door and asked the general if
he had given the fellow any money. The
general was inclined to get nettled at
my question, and blurted but that the
young man was the son of the president
of the bauk m Chicago where the gen
eral's account was, kept. I said: Why,
general, tho man is a'thief, a pqmmon
thief.' He would scarcely JLielieve me.
But presently Hungry Joe took $5Q out
of Ms pocket, which he got from Logan,
