CnorsEY of Lancaster county died last week. He was one of the first residents of Lincoln, attend ing the lot sales preceding the actual settlement of the town. Last Sunday morning a thief got away with a horse and buggy belong ing to J. Bannister. He notified Sheriff Phillips and through his efforts the thief was located at Tilden next day. At Nebraska City a runaway team dashed into a school yard where a number of children were playing. All escaped excepting one boy, who was knocked down and quite seriously in jured. While George Ganz of Nebraska City was standing outside of his place of business someone entered and re lieved him of S'jO in cash. A colored boy under arrest is thought to know where the swag is.

A doctor dressed the wound and the child is do ing as well as could be expected. A portion of a wareroom belonging to the Lexington mill gave way and precipitated the greater portion of 30, 000 bushels of wheat to the ground. Two employes of the mill were in the room at the time but escaped unhurt. Gen. M anderson of this state deliv ers the memorial address at Grant's tomb this year.

John Hawley, aged fifty -seven years, a farmer living near Sutherland, was taken with hemmorrhage of the lungs while plowing, and had breathed his last when found by his wife. He car ried insurance in fraternal orders to the amount of 57,000. Quite a sensation has arisen in Hol stein over the shooting of an imported English watchdog belonging to L. Schellenberger, a merchant of that town, valued at S2(;0. A young man by the name of Joseph Hershey was ar rested and tried for the offense under the village ordinance, but was acquit ted through the efforts of one of the legal lights and a flaw in the ordinance under which he was arrested.

A German farmer, John Xissen, re siding near Bristow, about four miles east of Spencer, died suddenly from the effects of poison, administered, presum ably with suicidal intent. For several days his actions have been rather queer, indicating melancholy and other nerv ous troubles, superinduced by brooding over the disgrace incurred by reason of several petty acts of larceny, indulged in lately, by the deceased, who, it ap pears, is a son of kleptomaniac. John Wiggins, a respected and wealthy farmer living a few miles west of St- Helena, Cedar county, was found dead on the bank of the Missouri river, about a mile from his home, with a bullet wound in his head and a revolv er lying close by. Unknown to his family Wiggins, in a half-dressed con dition, wandered from his home to the river bank There he shot himself. Insanity is thought to be the cause of the suic'de. A. G. Wolfenbarger, president of the Nebraska State Irrigation associa tion, has nearly ready for the printer thecopy forthe irrigation annual which has been prepared under the direction of the association. Over twenty ex perts, both in the state and outs:de. have contributed to the annual, and the papers, tables and diagrams which go to make up the contents are the work of skilled hands. The first edi tion of 2,500 is already spoken for, and its distribution is already provided for before the first sheets are printed. The mortgage record of Otoe county for the month of March shows fifty-two farm mortgages filzd, amounting to 97,28149 and thirty -three released to the amount of S.10,903.

Ora Cochran, the young Gering bur glar, who escaped from jail at Sidney, was captured at Freeport by Deputy Sheriff Daniel Davidson and brought back to his old haunts. Senator Thurston, who is in Omaha at this writing, wired General Grosven or, who is chairman of the sub-committee to which the Trans-Mississippi exposition was referred in the house of representatives, asking his earnest and prompt support of the measure. The senator received the following re ply: Hon. John M. Thuston, Omaha, Neb.: Your bill just came to my sub committee. It shall have my earnest and peesistent support. Will consider it tomorrow." Senator Thurston has no doubt of the passage of the bill in the near future. The people of Nebraska are asked to write a letter something like the fol lowing to anyone you may know east of the Mississippi river who would likely comply with your request, espe cially to people of influence: "Dear Sir A bill is now ponding before con gress to make an appropriation to aid J the trans-Mississippi exposition to be held in Omaha in 1SS8. I would re ' gard it as a personal favor if you would I write your congressmen and senators i requesting them to give their support to this bill and aid in its early pas- sage. " The contest started by the Nebraska club for articles showing up the resour-. ces of the state and the advantages offered here for the homeseeker, was closed Wednesday, and the articles sub mitted have been turned over to the committee to pass upon. This commit tee is composed of Boss L. Hammond of the Fremont Tribune. ex-Governor Ii. W. Furnas and C. H. Morrill of Lin coln. There were not as many compet itors as the officers of the club had hoped for, and for that reason it will not take the committee long to reach a decision. The secretary of war has ordered Major E. J. Fetchet, who is detailed as special military aid to the governor of Nebraska, to make a full report as to the condition of the military force of the state to the department at Wash ington. This is to embrace not only the men and officers enlisted in the Na tional guard, but all subjectto military duty. As it relates to the guard the report asked for is to be a complete re lation of the discipline, equipment and training of the force, with special re ports as to the capacitj and attainment of the individual officers. United States court will be open in Lincoln May 4, and at the present time it looks as if there would be two judges there. Judge Riner of Cheyenne wrote some time ago that he would open the term, and a few days ago a letter was received from Judge Shiras of Dubuque saying tuat he would be. in Lincoln to open the term. The court calendar in cludes a term of court at Hastings, commencing April 20, and one at Nor folk, commencing April 27, but owing to the absence from the state of the resident judge these terms will proba bly be allowed to go by default. James Leek, who works at F. B. Quimby's livery barn, Lexington, is in the hospital, a victim of a runaway team. lie took a party across the river and after leaving them the accident oc curred. Leek was thrown from the vehicle, his clothes caught in one of the wheels and he was dragged for some distance. His nether garments were all torn from him with the excep tion of a portion of his underwear around one ankle. One shoulder was dislocated, there was a severe gash on the upper lip and one temple and on the back of his head the hair was worn away to the flesh. Dick Ringer of Friend committed su icide the other day by cutting his throat with a razor. He had been bitten on the hand by a dog about four months ago. The animal was not known to be rabid. The wound healed quickly and no bad effects were felt until recentlj', when he was taken with what was supposed to be grip Doctors being called at once pronounced the case one of hydrophobia. While lying on a cot in the small kitchen, he sprang up, rushed to an adjoining bedroom, seized a razor from a stand and cut his throat almost before his parents and three young men who were watching were able to realize what was being done. The real estate exchange of Omaha passed the following: Whereas, The Nebraska club has been organized among the business and professional men of the state for the purpose of counteracting the evil reports that have been spread broadcast of our state, and for the promotion of immigration into our state by setting before the people of the east its abundant advantages and opportunities as an agricultural, stock and business state; we, the Ileal Estate association of Omaha, Neb., do hereby extend to the Nebraska club our hearty support. That as individual members we pledge it our material as sistance, and we will do all we can with our clients holding realty in our state to induce them to join the asso ciation and promote its interests. The clerical force of the Burlington shops have finished compiling the cost of the four new class K engines, the construction of which was commenced at Havelock, Nebraska, last September and finished the first of the year. The average cost of each engine wasS7, 318.94, the cost for material 84,171.22 and for labor 83,147.72.' A like number of engines were built at Aurora, 111., and Burlington, la., at the same time. The results place Havelock at the bot tom as to the matter of cost of con struction and at the top as to efficiency in management. The Havelock shops are among the largest in the west and in all their appointments there is noth ing finer or more complete in the coun try. It is perhaps needless to state that Havelock people are quite elated over the showing which the local shops have made. The grain dealers of Omaha passed the following: Whereas, the Nebraska i club has been organized by representa tive citizens for the purpose of promot ing the interests of our state by spread ing reliable information as to its resour ces and opportunities for the new settler and furthering immigration to the state. Resolved, That we, the grain dealers of Douglascounty and the state, most cordially approve of the objects of the club and pledge it our hearty support. That as individual members we will contribute to its stock and aid it in every possible way; that we will impress upon our customers and clients the objects of the club and urge their co-operation in its promotion. i MORE TALKS ABOUT CUBA I REPREf NATIVES EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS ON THE RESOLUTIONS. WILL VOTE ON MONDAY. Immediately After the Readier t the Journal the Cuban Resolution Will Be Disposed of Mr. Adams of Pennsylvania, Charges the Senate With Filibuster ing Against Cuba. Washington, April 6. In the House to-day Mr. Adams of Pennsylvania, of the committee on foreign affairs, was the first speaker on Cuban resolu tions. He said that he should have refrained from addressing the House further on this question but for the "extraordinary performance of the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Boutelle) yesterdaj'." Referring to the charge that the people were not behind the effort of Congress to grant proper rec ognition to Cubj, he asserted that Congress had seldom before received so many petitions on any subject as this. He contended that a handful of Senators had taken advantage of the rules of the Senate to prevent the adoption of the conference report by filibustering. The Cubans had an or ganized form of government and were in every way entitled to recognition. Mr. Knox of Massachusetts was rec ognized to read a letter from his colleague, Mr. Draper, a member of the foreign affairs committee, oppos ing the adoption of the conference report He said that he differed from Mr. Draper and made a plea for atlirmsttive action. He thought meas ures should be taken to put an end to the barbarous warfare and that for this country to fail to do this would be to incur the loss of self-respect as well as to deserve the contempt of all foreign nations. The House then decided to hold a night session for debate on the Cuban resolutions and to vote Monday after the reading of the journal. The River and Harbor Hill Reported Washington, April 5. Chairman Hooker of the River and Harbor com mittee to-day submitted to the House a report on the river and harbor bill made public yesterday.

Of the total amount recommended, about 86 per cent, or $3,642,800, is for har bors, $6,587,700 for rivers and $100,000 for surveys, etc The continuous con tract system is especially recom mended, and the bill gives authority to the secretary of war to enter into contracts for the completion oi thirty two different projects, amounting to $51,721,210. . BURGLARS AT THE CAPITOL A Bold Attempt to Ureak Into Senator Qoay's Desk. Washington, April 6. The Senate committee room on public buildings and grounds was broken into last evening, and an unsuccessful attempt made to break into Mr. Quay's desk. The iron bolts fastening the doors at the top and bottom were pried out of the sockets, showing that strong tools had been employed. It is believed by the senator that an attempt was made to get possession of his political papers, but, even if the desk had been opened, the political papers would noi have been obtained, as they had all been removed to Mr. Quay's house a week ago. Nothing else in the room was disturbed. About a year after the election of 188s Mr. Quay's desk was robbed of all his political papers, and they have never been recovered. They were not important, as they were what the senator termed "trash left over which might well have been destroyed." The W. C. T. U. With Hajrhee. Chicago, April 6. The officers of the W. C. T. U. have sent a telegram to Senator Frye to be presented to the Secretary of the Interior protesting against the removal of Governor Hughes of Arizona and urging a thor ough investigation. The reason for this is "Governor Ilughes well known championship of temperance in all questions of reform." The state presidents of the W. C T. U. are being urged to wire similar requests to their senators. Praise the American Missionaries. London, April 6. The Duke of Ar gyle in a circular appealing for relief funds for Armenia,pays tribute to the work of American missionaries, whom, he says, with bravery have undertaken the work in the face of many difficul ties and much discouragement and are distributing relief from nineteen de pots which Sir Philip Currie, the Brit ish ambassador, and Mr. Terrell, the United States minister, have been the means of establishing. A Legislator la a Mexican Jail. El Paso, Tex., April 6. Israel M. King of Silver City, a member of the New Mexico Legislature, was arrested in Juarez to-day, some personal enemy having accused him of stealing Mexi can calves in driving cattle over the line at Palomas. though he says he had bills of sale for all the stock. lie will be kept in jail for five days un less an effective appeal can be made to the authorities at Washington. Healer Schrader In Jail In Kentucky. Cincinnati, O., April C. "Healer Schrader, who was ordered from Cin cinnati by the health officers, went over to Newport, Ky., and began to "heal" and sell photographs there to day. The mayor ordered him to cease, but Schrader refused, whereupon he was arrested on the charge of being a general nuisance. EDISON'S LATEST. Reproductions of Kiiu-tcm-ope 1'lotures Cast Ilfe-L.ike on u Screen. New York, April 6. Thomas Edison was in a very happy mood when seen in his laboratory in West Orange last night. He had about -completed an other machine, which he calls the "vitascope." It is an improvement of the kinetoscope, and Mr. Edison says he has no doubt that it will prove to be a success. The vitascope throws oi a screen by means of bright lights and power ful lenses the moving life sizw: iigures of human beings and animals, Last night in the big foundry building ad jacent to the laboratory the machine was rigged up and a very satisfactory exhibition was made. The first picture shown on the screen was a colored panorama of a serpentine dance by Anabelle. who posed before the kinetoscope last sum mer. The film roll on which the pho tographs were attached was arranged over u half dozen spools and pulleys, and when the machine was set in mo tion the dancer's image appeared upon the screen, as if in life. The original photographs, as taken by the kineto graph and developed on the roll, are about the size of a special delivery postage stamp, and to produce a pic ture life size are magnified about 600 times. Mr. Edison expects shortly to be able to so improve the phonograph that he will be able to take records much longer than now and the vita scope and phonograph will be so com bined that it will be possible for an audience to watch a photographic reproduction of an opera and hear the music at the same time. BARKER FAVORS A BOLT. The Philadelphia Silverlte Calls for a Union of White Metal Advoates. Denvkb, Colo., April 6. The Rocky Mountain News has received the fol lowing message from Mr. Wharton Barker of Philadelphia: 'Philadelphia, Pa., April 3. This action of the Manufacturers Club.thie weak straddle, taken with the declar ation of Mr. John Converse, candi date for president of the club: am for the single gold standard,' convinces all those bimetallists who have hoped to see the Re publican party adopt a straightout plank for the restoration of silver to its old place 16 to 1 by independent ac tion of the United States, that the friends of silver remonetization must abandon that hope. As the Demo cratic party is not likely to do better than the Republican party, it is the duty of those of all parties who do not hold principle subservient to po litical expediency and who put patriot ism before partisanship, to come to a common understanding with each other, unite on a common policy, join in the promulgation of a definite policy and unite and at once organize for political action. The several con ventions called to meet at St. Louis will, of course, ratify any action the plain people agree in demanding. Wharton Barker." CUBA INDUSTRIES RUiNED The liusiness of the Island Paralyzed by the Kebelllon. Havana, April 6. The total amount of sugar made in Cuba this year will not exceed 130.000 tons. This enor mous shrinkage means, it is estimated, a money loss of So6,000,000. The to bacco crop will be greatly diminished. The other products of the island, hides, mahogany and cedar are practically not to be had. Nothing is being done on the stock exchange, and the pro duce exchange is lifeless. Flour, potatoes and the commonest necessaries of life cannot be sold on business principles. There is no money. Havana is like a tomb. Even j the cabs ceased to rnn in the streets in recognition of Holy Thursday and Good Friday. Business, what there is, has been suspended. , No news papers are printed. "Where Am I At?" MtiMt Go. Washington, April 6. House com mittee on elections No. 1 has voted to unseat James E. Cobb, .the Democratic incumbent, and seat Goodwin, who ran against him as a Populist. The decision was reached by a party vote. There was no Republican candidate in the district, but the Republican vote was largely cast for Goodwin. Ac cording tc the returns the vote was: Cobb, 10,051; Goodwin, 9,903. Allega tions of ballot box stuffing and intimi dation were made. Cobb is now serv ing his fourth term in Congress. He was the author of the famous "Where am I at?" May Not See Their Father Married. New York, April 6. It is reported that neither Russell Harison nor Mrs. McKee will attend their father's mar riage to Mrs. Dimmick next Monday, but the ex-President is going ahead with his plans with as much enthusi asm as might be expected from a young lover. General Tracy, who was Secretary of the Navy in the Harrison administration will be his former chief's best man. All the members of the old Harrison cabinet are expected to attend except Mr. Wanamaker, who is out of the country. The Next Royal Wedding. London. April 6.

REED OR M'KINLEY. The New Hampshire Delegation te Unpledged. Concord, N. H., April 3. The NewIiampshireKepablicans held their State convention here to-day to elect delegates to the National Republican convention at St. Louis. United States Senator William LI Chandler presided, and was greeted enthusiastically when he arose to speak. He bitterly as sailed the Wilson tariff bill, and con trasted the financial showings of the administrations of Presidents Harri- I cah an PlAvalontt If a A o! a rti flint. lnere wouid be a great reaction in No- ! vember against the Democracy, and j he hoped it would be under the lead- ersnip oi x nomas i. need. Only one ticket for delegates-at-large was named. Stephen S. Jewett of Lacouia, General Frank S. Streeter of Concord, Charles T. Means of Man chester and Colonel James A. Wood of Acworth. These four were elected by acclamation. George A. C. Clark of Manchester, Stephen A. Gale of Exe ter, Oscar Hatch of Littleton and Dexter Richards of Newport were chosen as alternates. Colonel Frank Rollins of Concord offered a substitute financial plank, identical with that adopted by the Massachusetts convention last week as an amendment to the resolutions, but Chairman Putney, Senator Gal linger and others opposed the proposi tion and the amendment was lost by Bu overwhelming viva voce vote and the adoption of the platform as pre sented by the committee was made unanimous. It opens with denuncia tion of the Democracy and calls for ih ; enactment of currency laws that will provide a circulating medium in gold, silver and paper which will a ways be interchangeable at its face va.ue because each and every dollar of I. is of the same purchasing power us a gold dollar; demands liberal appropriations for an adequate navy a d eoat nt a harbor defenses. d n I internal iir iTovements, a fair and generous treatment of Union veter- j ans. a foreign policy characterized v s urdy Americanism, and closes: "We recognize as most conspicuous among the caudidates, New England's nob e and illustrious son, the Hon.

We will give the electoral vote of New Hampshire to any nominee who worthily represents the party, but we prefer one of these because either is in himsel' nlatfornx" A MOTHER'S MAD CRIME.

If you have butter that is not entire ly sweet put It in a porcelain dish with & little salt and a tiny piece of soda, place over the fire and bring to a boil. Turn it into a stone jar and set it in a cool place. The butter will be found perfectly sweet and not too salt for cooking. The Impurities will settle to the bottom of the jar. A cement for mending broken glass or china is made by dissolving half an ounce of gum arable in a wineglassft of boiling water and adding enough plaster of Paris to make a thick prste. Apply it with a brush to the edses ot the broken parts. Hold the pieces carefully together until the cement has hardened sufficiently for them to ad here. If the article to be mended is broken In several pieces, do not at tempt to cement a second piece before the first has thoroughly hardened. A tested cough mixture recipe comes I from an English lady. It is palatable and very effectual. Boil three large lemons in water seven minutes, drain off the water and slice the lemons as thin as possible. Put them in an earth en bowl with one pound of the best brown sugar and stand the bowl on the stove until the mixture is at boil ing point. Then draw to the back of the stove and let the mixture simmer three hours. Remove from the fire, and when it has stood half an hour add small tablespoonful of oil of sweet al monds. It is to be used warm. Stir and take in teaspoonful doses as long as needed. To make a wax for polishing hard vood floors cut one pound of beeswax y into small pieces, put them in a dish and place it over the fire in a pan of hot water. Allow the wax to melt and then stir in three pints of turpentine. When the ingredients have thorough ly blended, place some of the wax on a woolen cloth and rub it on the floor, treating one board at a time and rub bing lengthwise. Then cover a heavy brush with flannel and with it rub the floor until it is perfectly smooth. It is usually the case that some parts of the floor are subject to more wear than others. When the polish has worn off in these spots warm the wax and apply to the worn places and then polish.
