Christopher son, pastor of the .llaptist church at Stromsburg, is creating quite a breeze among his followers and friends It seems that a portion of the congrega tion are favoring tho return of the evangelist, Redding, who closed a series of .meetings there several weeks ugo, while others are strenuously opposed to the evangelist’s return, resulting in the resignation of the pastor .as stated. A meeting was held at Cordon by the stockmen of Sheridan .and Cherry coun ties for the purpose of organizing a stockmen's association tor mutual pro tection against the depredations of cattle thieves.

It is booked for May 15, 10 and 17, and will probably equal, if not surpass, any of the tourneys ever held by this honorable old association. Sheriff Jacoii Snyder of Nance county took John Boler to the peniten tiary last week, where the prisoner will servo a sentence of two years for shooting with intent to wound. Sheriff Snyder, it is said, is not pleased with the prospect of carrying out the sen tence of the court in the Debney mur der case.

Beilis, Jan. 87.—For the first time since March 18,1890, when he resigned the chancellorship of the German em pire, which he had so long held, Prince into von Bismarck, the hero of the masses and the man who cemented the empire, entered the royal palace to day, as the gaest of the Emperor and the reconciliation between the young Kaiser and the venerable confidential assistant of the old emperor was com pleted. It is the sincere wish of all Hermans that there will never be a new severance Of the relations of friendship between the two. Prince Bismarck and his family breakfasted at an early hour this morning and the family servants were delighted when they noticed that he lind donned his historic -cnirassier uni form,for the first time in several years. Ilo seemed pleased at his appearance for the handsome uniform made him look like a giant when compared with his appearanco in the frock coat of civilian attire which ho had been in the habit of wearing recently. When ho left the castle of Fried richsruhe the cx-chancellor was ac companied by Princess Bismarck, Count Herbert Bismarck and Drs. Schweninger and Chrysander. The whole neighborhood of Friedrichsruhe turned out to cheer him, and six beau tiful young girls, dressed entirely in white, presented to him a handsome laurel wreath inscribed: “A Happy Journey.” These six young girls also carried largo baskets of flowers and preceded Prince Bismarck’s party to the railroad station, strewing the road with flowers amid the vociferous cheering of the immense crowds which lined the route. In Berlin itself the people were astir at-a much earlier hour than usual and tho streets soon became filled with people, in holiday attire, pressing on ward in order to take up the best po sition possible along the route which tho prince would follow from the Lehrte-Hanovcrian railroad station through tho Brandenburg gate and along Under den Linden, to the castle. Tiie emperor intended to welcomo Prince Bismarck in person, at-the rail- i road station, but, at the last moment, was obliged to send his regrets to the prince as he was obliged to meet the king of Saxony at the Anhalt railroad station, at exactly the same hour that Prinee Bismarck was to arrive in Berlin. Just .after noon Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor William, surrounded by a large and brilliant staff, rode .up to the station, where lie . was heartily received. The station was tastefully decorated with flags, flowers, evergreens and bunting and carpets were laid on the platform and down the steps leading from the sta tion. In addition, there were present representatives from nearly every society in and about Berlin and a large force of municipal officers and stu dents. Promptly at 1 o’clock the train bear ing Prinee Bismarck and his party from Friederichsrulie to Berlin entered tho station and slowed up at the platform. Bismarck was seen at the window of his carriage and was loudly cheered. When the train had come to a stand still Prince Bismarck stepped upon the platform whero he wa3 met by Prince Henry of Prussia and a large crowd of distinguished officers. Prince Henry extended a most cordial greet ing- and the ex-chancellor shook hands with maby of the distinguished offi cers present, several of whom, es pecially the veterans, were affected considerably at thus meeting the iron chancellor once more. After a short interval, during which a number of most complimentary little speeches were made, Prince Bis marck was escorted by Prince Henry to one of the imperial carriages which i was in waiting at the entrance of the depot. As the prince emerged from the station and was recognized by the people, a storm of cheers arose from the crowd until it assumed a deafen ing, roaring sound which could be heard for miles. He was the first to enter the imperial carriage and ho took a seat on the right of Prince Henry of Prussia, who followed him into the vehicle. From the windows of the houses along the route followed by the prince's carriage to the palace and the crowds of people gathered in the streets, showers of flowers were thrown into the carriage and people shouted themselves hoarse. At the palace Emperor William, sur rounded by a brilliant staff of officers of the highest rank, received tho ven erable ex-chancellor aud extended a welcome extremely cordial, and it was evident that the prince was much touched at the heartiness of the em peror’s manner. The three eldest sons of the emperor were present at the reception. Later an enthusiastic succession of demonstrations was on, thousands upen thousands of people packed the square in front of tho castle, singing the national anthem, “Wacht Am Rhein,” and “Deutschland Ueber Alles.” The enthusiasm was so great that the emperor and empress and tho young princess and Prince Bismarck repeatedly appeared at the window in response to these manifestations, which continued throughout the after noon. At 3 o'clock Chancellor von Coprivi, followed by all his secretaries of state, called at the castle and left their cards for Prince Bismarck. McCreary** Hawaiian Resolution.

I WILSON TARIFF BILL VERY FEW AMENDMENTS MADE IN THE HOUSE. TWO IMPORTANT CHANGES MADE. The Sugar Bounty Knocked Out and Wool to Be Free Immediately on the 1'amage or the Act — Representa tive Burrows Speaks of the Plan of Campaign of the Republicans. Washington, Jan. 20. —'The Wilson tariff bill emerged to-day from the ordeul of amendments to which it had been subjected the last two weeks and is now in its perfected form so far as the house can perfect it. The ad ditional days of debate next week, will be given exclusively to the in come tax. It has been so difficult to keep track of the different amend ments from duy to day that the ways and means committee have not copies of the perfected bill. C_ Of the two inateriul alterations in the bill—sugar and wool—that on sugar is of far reaching consequence. The committee had decided to grad ually extinguish the sugar bounty by taking a part off each year for eight years, llut the radical anti-sugar ele ment succeeded in passing their amendment doing away with the bounty at a single stroke. The rad icals also amended the bill so that re fined sugar, as well as raw, goes on the free list. The wool amendment changes the bill so that free raw wool and reduced duties on manufactured woolens go into effect as soon as the tariff bill becomes a law. The bill had fixed August 1 as the date for free raw wool to take effect and De cember 1 as the date for the reduced duties on manufactured woolens. But the radical element would accept no delay, and as a result, there is no post ponement of dates in the woolen schedule. The difference of four months between free raw wool and reduced duty on manufactured wool was given in order to allow the trade to adjust itself to the change. Among the lesser amendments made are those raising the duties on dia monds from 10 per cent under the bill to 30 per cent and the specific repeal of the reciprocity clause of the McKin ley bill. • _ Representative Burrows. Repub lican, of Michigan says: “The Repub lican members of the hopse will have no caucus on the tariff or income tax questions. Neither have they agreed on a policy. There is no need of an affirmative policy. We are simply passive while the majority proceeds to execute its commission. We recognize it would be futile for us to attempt to execute any affirmative policy. We have offered amendments, but they have failed of recognition, or have been defeated by the majority. What need, therefore, is there on our side of the hou sc of a pol icy? We will quietly wait while the other side furnishes the policy.” Representative MeMillen, in charge of the incofne tax bill, said as to the prevailing reports that the income tax might defeat the tariff bill: “I would be the last- to jeopardize the tariff bill by an income tax or anything else. But I am absolutely positive that the bill as a whole—tariff and income tax —will pass. NO CHANGES IN LEAD. The House Refuses to Alter the Wilson Schedule—Cockran Gives Up. Washington, Jan. 29.—In the house to-day all the amendments to the lead schedule were defeated after a debate of only an hour. Washington, Oan. 3 .—After the reading of the journal in the house this morning, Mr. Haines of New York made the point of no quorum and fthe speaker ordered the roll called. This was in pursuance of a policy decided upon by the New York members to filibuster against an or der from the committee on rules ex tending the tariff debate authorizing the offering of the internal revenue hill as an amendment to the tariff bill. The call developed the presence of 181 members and the filibustering came to an ignominious collapse. The speaker recognized Mr. Out waite of Ohio from the committee on rules and he reported the special or der for the Wilson bill and income tax amendment providing for a vote there on February 1 and he demanded the previous question. i he opponents of the income tax realized their helplessness and did not even make a show of resistance. Mr. Coekran of New York, however, sug gested a slight modification of the or der, so as to close general debate on the internal revenue amendment on Tuesday. To the other terms of the order he had no objections. “YVe can make but a poor show of resist ance.” he said, “against both the friends and enemies of the main bill who have united on the income tax proposition and this slight modifies tiou is all we ask.” Mr. Hatch of Missouri loudly de manded the regular order and, although appealed to, refused to with draw it. Without further ado then the special order was adopted. The house then resolved itself into committee of the whole and the con sideration of the tariff bill was re sumed, the pending amendments be ing those relating to the lumber schedule. Mr. Doolittle, Republican, Washington, made a strong plea for the substitution of the lumber schedule of the present law for that of the Wilson bill. Free lumber, he said, would force the laborers of his state into competition with the cheap t'hinese and Japanese labor employed across the Canadian line. James McCullough, who was post master at YVaverly, N. J., under Har rison, has been arrested for refusing to give up the office to his successor. OKLAHOMA STANDS ALONE. Probably luMtraroantable Objection* to lurludmy the Teroltory In n State. Wshixagtox, Jan. *29.—Most of the arguments, written and verbal, thus far presented to the senate committee on territories for the admission of Oklahoma as a state,, have advocated that the lands of the five civilized tribes be included in the boundaries. However desirable such a consum mation may appear—and in fact would be—there is the very gravest danger that persistency of effort on these lines will postpone Oklahoma’s ad mission for some time. Lawyers of standing in the house and senate even hold that the supreme court would de clare the act invalid by reason of the explicit declaration of the treaties that the lands in question should never become part of any state or ter ritory without the consent of the In dians. There are immediate practical diffi culties no less formidable than the more distant legal ones. General Wheeler, chairman of the house com mittee on territories, without specific ally defending his own position yet says those treaties create an insur mountable bar and the lands of the five tribes cannot be added to the pro posed state without trampling those treaties ruthlessly under foot. POPULIST INCOME PLANS. A Substitute for a Graduated Tax to Be I-aid Before the House. Washington, Jan. 29. —The Populist members of the house have arranged with Representative Richardson, pre siding officer of the committee of the whole, for the recognition of one of their number to move the substitution of their provision for a graduated in come tax in place of the fixed tax of two per cent in case the income tax feature is added to the Wilson bill. The substitute measure has been prepared and is now ready to be offered at the first opportunity. In stead of 2 per cent on all incomes of over $4,000, this amendment proposes a graduated increase, fixing the tax 1 per cent on all incomes between $2,500 and $10,000; at 2 per cent on in comes between $10,000 and $30,000; at 3 per cent between $30,000 and $60,000; at 4 per cent between $60,000 and $100,000, and at 5 per cent on all in comes over $100,000. , OIL STRIKES IN KANSAS. Nineteen Flowing Well. In Wilson Coun ty—Gas Also in Quantity. Neodesha, Kan., Jan. 28.—An oil company of Pennsylvania, which has been prospecting for oil and gas near this city, has drilled twenty-one wells and only two have proved value less. Five wells have been “shot” with nitro glycerine causing them to flow in great quantities into large tanks. One of the wells has yielded oil at the rate of twenty-four barrels per day. The average depth of thq wells is 855 feet. Two gas wells have been sunk with capacities equal to any of the great gas wells of Indiana or Ohio. The en gineer in charge of the works claims that this will be the most valuable oil and gas field west of the Mississippi river. TO AVOID THE LYNCHERS. A Negro Arrested for the Vernon Outrage Spirited Out of Spring Bold. Springfield, Mo., Jan. 29.—Yester day a message was received that Katie Jacobs, the girl brutally assaulted at Vernon last Sunday,would arrive here to-day to identify the negro Barclay arrested here. The officers to-day said the girl was too sick to come and that the negro had been taken to Mount Vernon, and that she would go to that point to see him. It is, how ever, asserted- that the girl was in town to-day and recognized the negro, and that the officers are taking him to Kansas City to avoid lynching. BANDITS FOUND GUILTY.
