The census office at Washington pub
lishes statistics of farms, homes and
mortgages and ownership and debt in
Nebraska. In regard to farms, the
conclusion is that 37.01 per cent of the
farm families hire and 73.00 per cent
own the farms cultivated by them;
that 51.00 per cent of the farm-owning
families own subject to incumbrance
and 48.01 per cent own free of incum
brance. Among 100 farm families
twenty-seven hire their farms, thirty
eight own with incumbrance and
thirty-five without incumbrance. On
the owned farmes there are liens
amounting to 947,078,133, which is 38.30
per cent of their value, and this debt
bears interest at the rate of 8.33 per
cent, making the average annual inter
est charges 980 to each family.
Something over a year and a half
ago the 13-year-old son of Henry
Graves, living two miles southwest of
Odell, became subject to a jerking sen
sation in his left eye. Although doc
tors were consulted and treatment had
by oculists, the eye grew worse, until
he was totally blind, and has not been
able to see out of the member since last
February. Last, week, so the boy
says, he dreamed for three nights that
if he would tire a gun off twice his
eyesight would be restored. He told
his parents of his dream, and hisfather
told him to try it, which he did, and
after tiring the second shot sight re
turned to the afllictcd eye, just as he
had dreamed it would. A great many
people think it a miracle. No one can
explain or understand the cure.
When Governor Crounse went into
office ho revived the old statute requir

state instiutions to make a semi-annual
report The reports for the first half
of the present year have been received
and make an admirable showing. In
the nine institutions there are 1,800 in
mates, and the compiled report shows
that these have been cared for by a
saving of $42,COO over that of the first
h^lf of the year 1892. At the asylum
for the incurable insane, located at
Hastings, of tjhich G. \V. Johnson is
superintendent, the report shows that
for the first half of 1892 the cost per
capita was $131, and the second $138;
for the first half of 1843 the cost per
capita was $100, and for 1893, $70.49.
At the soldiers' home, at Grand Island,
the cost per capita for the first half of
1892 was $168.23, and for the same time
in 1894 it was $112.64.

PULLMAN TESTIFIES.
Thu rallies Car Magnate Before the
a.riles Commlulnn.
Chicago, Aujj-. 29.—George M. Pull
man wu before tlie labor commission
for nearly three hours yesterday
afternoon. Hu dwelt at great length
on the motives which actuated the
company in building homes for the
workingmen at Pullman, declaring
that the town had been made so that
the best class of mechanics would pre
fer to live there than in any other
pluce.
In reply to queries by Chairman
Wright, Mr. Pullman told of the con
tracts for work undertaken by the
company at a loss, in order that the
men might be kept at work.
Judge Worthington asked: "As to
this reported declaration of yours
that you had nothing to arbitruto,
were you correctly reported?”
“1 have already explained my views
on that subject.”
Judgo Worthington then brought
out the fact that the company’s
original capital stock of $1,000,000, in
1807, had increased to $30,000,000; that
the company had paid dividends of 12
per cent during tlis first two years
of its organization; 9>i per cent dur
ing the next two years, and 8 per cent
annually since, and at the same time
had accumulated a surplus amounting
to $25,000,000.
iteierrlng to the stock of the com
pany Mr. Pullman said it represented
actual cash paid by the stockholders
as the capital was needed and the
capital stock was increased for the
legitimate busiuess of the company.
There was no water in it ana none of
it represented dividends.
Coming buck to the question of
arbitration Mr. Pullman said ho re
membered no formal attempt to get
him to arbitrate with the men. He
had declared his willingness to arbi
trate.
“Now, Mr. Pullman,” said Commis
sioner Worthington, “taking the
whole year through, has tho Pullman
company made or lost money?’’
“It has made money,” was the
answer.
“You have paid your regular divi
dends?”
“Yes, sir; 8 per cent.”
"That is something like $3,800.000
you have paid out in dividends for the
year."
“Yes, but that includes the latter
part of the world’s fair which was ex
ceptional."
“Let me ask you, Mr. Pullman,
whether you do not think a company
that pays dividends of #3,800,000 could
not afford to share the losses of its
employes who have worked for it so
long?”
"The manufacturing business is
separate from the business of the
sleeping car company. I see no
reason why I should take the profits
of tho 4,200 stockholders in the Pull
mpn Sleeping Car company and pay
men a higher rate of wages than was
paid in other parts of the country for
the same work, or than was paid by
other companies for the same work.
“Because we have been careful and
accumulated a surplus I do not see
that it is a reason why we should take
the surplus now and pay it out for ex
ceptionally high wages.”
“What do you see that is objectiona
ble in submitting a difference like this
to arbitration.
"There are some matters that are
proper subjects for arbitration, but I
cannot arbitrate on a question where
I know tho facts to be thus and so.
The question as to whether our shops
should continue to run at a loss is a
thing that could not be arbitrated.”
"Why was it impossible?”
"Because it violates the principle
that a man has a right to manage his
own business.”
Mr. Pullman was then excused and
Vice President Wickes was called. He
rehearsed the history of the strike and
the part he played in it
He said the discharge of the mem
bers of the grievance committee after
he had promised that they should not
be molested for the part in the
committee’s work was entirely with
out his knowledge and was not inten
tional on the part of the minor officials
who had laid them off.
NEW RULES NOT LIKELY.
The Senate Will Work Next Session Just
as It Mas Done Heretofore.
Washington, Aug. 30.—The senate
committee on rules will sit during the
recess of congress and attempt to re
vise tho rules, though efforts made
during the closing days of the present
session to secure senate authority
failed because of the steady objection
of Mr. Blanchard, who said that he
did not want the rules revised so that
debate might be cut off and a vote
forced upon the bill repealing the
sugar duty. The Louisiana senators
will fight a change in rules, as will
tho senators opposed to the removal
of the sugar duties. Added to these
are the senators who do not believe
that under any circumstances should
there be a change in the rules which
would curtail the liberty of debate.
Consequently an effort to change the
rules when the session begins in De
cember probably will not meet with
any success.
Harvest Excursions.
St Paul, Minn., An?. 37th.—Harvest
Excursions at largely reduced rates for

and Montana points are announced by
the Great Northern Railway, for Sept.

ABOUT HALF THE PEOPLE
OWN THEIR HOMES.
A SHOWING OF PROSPERITY.
.\n Interesting; Bulletin—Kesult of at
| Investigation Into Farm House Own"
j ershlp—The First Ever Ala tie in
This Country—It Shows Some
Surprising Facts — Farm
Values Average #3,444.
Washington, Sept. 1.—The census
office gave to the public yesterday
the principal results of the investi
gation of farmer home proprietor
ship in all of the states and territo
ries. This is the first investigation of
the kind ever conducted in any coun
try. Out of the 111,000,152 families in
the whole country almost 48 per cent
own their farms and homes, and the
rest hire. Of the families owning
farms and homes almost 08 per cent
have incumbrances and over 72 per
cent have no incumbrance. The num
ber of resident owners of land in the
United States is 0,000,417, to which
must be added any land owners who
may be living in tenant families. The
farm families number 4,070,174, of
which 00 per cent own their homes,
and others hire. Of the owning fami
lies over 28 per cent have incum
brances on their farms. In 1880, 25.50
per cent of the farms were hired.
In the cities that contain over 100,
000 population there are 1,048,834
home families, of which almost 23 per
cent own and 77 per cent hire, while
of the owning families 38 per cent
own subject to incumbrance. Among
the cities having 100,000 population
and over New York has the highest
percentage of home tenancy, nearly
03.87; lioston is next with 81.57 per
cent; Brooklyn third, with 81.44 per
cent; Jersey City, 81.20 per cent, and
Cincinnati, 80.82 per cent. The per
centage for Baltimore is 73.04; Buf
falo, 60.03; Chicago, 71.27; Cleveland,
00.00; Denver, 70.80; Minneapolis.
08.86; New Orleans, 78.51; Philadel
phia, 77.24; St. Louis, 70.58; St. Paul,
50.80; San Francisco, 78.46; and Wash
ington, D. C., 74.80. The smallest
percentage, 50, represents Iiochester,
N. Y.
Bringing the urban population into
contrast with the non-urban popula
tion, almost 44 per cent of 4,224,560
home families 1 iving outside of cities
and towns of 8,000 people own their
own homes, and 56 per cent hire. Of
the owning families 77 per cent own
without incumbrance.
The value of the $1,606,890 incum
bered farms and homes is $5,687,296,
060, and the incumbrances aggregate
$2,162,949,563 or 37.50 per cent of the
value. Of the incumbrances on farms
and homes, over 22 per cent bears in
terest at rates less than 6 per cent, 34
per cent at the rate of 6 per cent, 33
per cent at rates greater than 6 per
cent and 11 per cent at rates greater
than 8 per cent
The average of value of each owned
and incumbered farm in the United
States is $3,444; each of incumbered
home, $3,250, and the average inewn
brance on each of the farms is $1,234;
on each incumbered home, $1,293.
The 886,957 farms subject to incum
brance are worth $3,054,923,165, and
the incumbrance is $1,085,995,960, or
35.55 per cent of the value. The 809,
933 homes subject to incumbrance are
valued at $22,632,374,904, and the in
cumbrance is $1,046,953,603, or 39.77
per cent of the value.
The cities of 8,000 to 100,000 popula
tion have 214,613 incumbered homes
occupied by owners, worth $739,846,087
with an incumbrance amounting to
$292,611,974, which is 39.55 per cent of
the value. In the cities of 100,000
population and over, the value of the
168,159 incumbered homes occupied
by owners is $934,191,811 and these
homes are incumbered for $393,029,
833, or for 42.07 per cent of their val
ue. In the country outside of cities
and towns of 8,000 people and over
the value of the 427,161 incumbered
homes occupied by owners is $958,337,
006, and the incumbrance is $361,311,
796, or 37.70 per cent of the value.
In the cities having at least 100,000
population, $5,555 represents the av
erage value of each owned and in
cumbered home. New York has the
highest value, $19,200; San Francisco
second with $7,993, Brooklyn third
with $7,349, Omaha fourth with $7,179
and Washington fifth with $7,045.
The annual interest charge on each
owned and incumbered home in these
cities is $134, the highest amount be
ing $438 in New York and the lowest
amounting to $33 in Louisville. Den
ver has the highest average rate of
interest on the incumbrance
on owned and incumbered homes,
namely, 7.87 per cent, and New
Orleans is second, with 7.86 per cent;
New York has the lowest rate, 4.95
per cent and Boston stands next with
5.14 per cent. Over 74 per cent of the
incumbrance on owned farms was in
curred in buying real estate and mak
ing improvements and over 83 per
cent of the incumbrance was for the
purpose of buying and improving real
estate, investing in business, etc.
Over 81 percent of the incumbrance
on homes was incurred to secure pur
chase money and to make improve
ments.
THE COLD BRICK AGAIN.
An Old Man Taken In by the Ancient
Swindle at Topnka.
Topeka, Kan., Sept. 1.—Henry
frenear, an old farmer living near
Holton, mortgaged his farm for $1,000
and caine to Topeka to exchange the
cash for a gold brick offered to him
by George Cordon, a clever swindler.
Cordon's story was that he and an
Indian had been mining gold in Ari
zona and had concentrated their for
tunes in a gold bar, weighing forty
pounds and worth about $9,000. He
did not like an Indian for a partner,
and suggested that Trenear purchase
the Indian s share, which he readily
consented to do. Notwithstanding
his friends told him it was a swindle,
the farmer, who is 70 years old, met
Gordon in Topeka and gaiie hen the
money. The sheriff promptly attested
Gorjlon and he is now in‘jail. T “
REVENUE FOR POSTMASTERS.
Those of the Fourth C)»«» Can Now Ad
minister Oaths In Tension Cases.
Washington, Sept. 1.—Hereafter
the fourth class postmusters will have
another source of revenue to add
to the many that now holds in
the smaller settlements. He now
can act as a notary public for pen
sioners and witnesses in pension cases
only and can charge the pensioner not
exceeding twenty-five cents for each
voucher to which he affixes the seal
of his office. The new au
thority and emoluments in the
village postmaster sprung from
an act approved on the
23d instant, which “requires, em
powers and authorizes” them to “ad
minister any and all oaths required to
be made by pensioners and their wit
nesses in the execution of their vouch
ers with like eifect and force as offi
cers having a seal; and such post
master shall affix the stamp of his
office to his signature to such vouch
ers.”
The law includes all manner of
pension cases, in which an oath is re
quired, including vouchers for the
regular quarterly payments. This
authority to the fourth class post
masters does not mean that a notary
who has been heretofore taking pen
sioners' depositions can no longer do
so; on the contrary it is stipulated
expressly that they may do
so. ri he law was passed at the in
stance of congressmen representing
country districts which are but
sparsely settled and is to save travel
on the part of pensioners. The pen
sion office is anxious they should have
notice of the changed conditions made
by the law.
SAMOAN DISTURBANCES.
British anil American Warships Open
I ire on the Rebels.
Apia, Samoa, Aug’. 15.—The war
ships of Great Britain and Germany
have at last taken action with a view
to ending the native disturbances
which have heretofore appeared to be
interminable. Two skirmishes had
taken place between the warlike
tribes, resulting in the killing of eight
or ten natives and the wounding of
many more. The natives had become
short of food, not having planted or
looked after their crops, and they had
taken to stealing from foreigners
throughout the islands. Their mode
of living had produced a great deal of
illness, much suffering and many
deaths, so that in the interests of
common humanity interference by the
powers became absolutely necessary.
Something had to be done to put a
stop to the so-called warfare.
It is now certain that unless vigor
ous action is taken the position of the
foreigners here will be critical. At
the hour of the sailing of the Mariposa
it is reported that the rebels have
made complete surrender, but the ru
mor lacks confirmation.

Fort Scott, Kan., Sept. 1.—Sevet.
miles northeast of here last evening a
little daughter of Calvin Packer, a
well-to-do farmer, was riding one of
her father’s horses and thoughtlessly
guided it into the corral where a here
tofore tame bull and a herd of cows
were inclosed. Mrs. Packer realizing
that the bull might harm the child
ran out to the corral and was holding
the gate open for the child to go out
when the animal dashed toward the
mother. Ho picked her up on his
horns and ripped her abdomen from
side to side. Mr. Packer was work
ing in a field a half mile away and the
woman made her way alone to the
house, holding her stomach in with

and shot the bull instantly. Mrs.
Packer is still alive, but cannot sur
vive the injury.

WHEAT AS ANIMAL Fooq
Chief Salmon of tho Industry Bnt«„
limes an Interesting Bulletin.
Washington, Aug. 30.—A bnlieti,
of wheat as an animal food has b(t|
issued by the Agricultural depar,
ment. It was compiled by D. E. s»i
mon, chief of the animal industr
bureau of the department in respond
to inquiries as to the value of whe4.
for growing and fattening animaj,
suggested by the changes in the co®.
parative prices of wheat,corn and oats
The bulletin advocates the use«
screenings and imperfect wheat 5,
animal food and the placing of oai<
the best wheat on the market, i
statistical table shows the near g.
proach, chemically, of 26.6 pounds o"
wheat to the German standard ratio!
for growing cattle from 6 to 12 montbl
of age, and the fact that 33Jf po-ondJL
of wheat comes much nearer the sand!
quantity of corn. Equal parts oil*
wheat and corn should, however I
prove better for fattening animaijf
than either of these grains alone, I
“When wheat and corn are tin
same price per bushel,” says the bal
letin, “it is preferable to feed wheat
and sell corn. First, because wheat
weighs seven per cent heavier peJ
bushel than corn; secondly, because
wheat is weight for weight an equal,
ly good grain for fattening animals
and better for growing animals: and
thirdly, because there is much ]»«
value in fertilizing elements removed
from the farm in corn than in wheat
Wheat should always be fed in small
quantities and, when possible be mixed
with some other grain and care taken
to prevent any ouo animal from get
ting more than the quantity intended
for it. Precautions are especially nec-f
essary when wheat is fed to horses, L
The best form in which to feed wheat
is to roll or grind into a coarse meal.
From Canadian experiments it ap
pears that wheat exceeds corn in
feeding value, while yi South Dakota
corn was found to exceed wheat”
OFF FOR RECREATION.
Ilia President Goss to Gray Gables—
Flan* of the Cabinet Members.
Washington, Aug. 30.—President
Cleveland left Washington at 7:20 this
morning via New York for Gray
Gables. His companions on the trip
were Secretary Lamont, who goes to
join his family at Bayview, L. I., and
Private Secretary Thurber, who is
bound for Marsden, Mass., where his
family is summering.
Nearly all of the members of the
cabinet are preparing to take advan
tage of the adjournment of congves?
to take vacations and it is probabit
that within a very short time Wash
ington will be almost deserted bj
higher officials of the government, ffl
Secretary Herbert is already mah-lj
Ing a tour of inspection of the gov- ■
ernment navy yards and stations
along the North Atlantic coast.
All that prevents Secretary Gresham
from arranging to temporarily pnt
aside the business of the state depart
ment is that there are a few tiouble
some foreign questions demanding his
gresence here for a while at least.
Ie will shortly, however, take a va
cation which will be spent in part in
fishing.
Attorney General Olney will spend
his vacation ia and about Boston.
Secretary tferlisle has made no ar
rangements for a vacation and it is
expected that the administration of
the new tariff act may keep him here
for some time yet.
Secretary Smith will spend ten days
or a fortnight in Georgia. Postmaster
General Bissell disposed of a good
deal of current business uesterdav
and left last night for Buffalo, where
Mrs. Bissel returns from Kennebunk
port, Me. He will spend all of his
vacation in New York state.
Secretary Morton of the agricultural
department will spend his vacation ia
Europe.
