The Washington newspapers an

Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt, the divorced
wife of Willie K., for year* has not
addressed a menial directly, but has
employed certain persons to take from
her the royal commands. To talk to a
tradesman or to order anything out of
a shop Is too much for her nerves. On
one occasion, two summers ago, she had
a list written and given to the lodge
keeper at Newport of the people who
were to be admitted and those who
were not.
The Spanish authorities In Cuba con
tinue to affirm that the insurrection Is
practically crushed, and at the same
time to send vehement appeals to Mad
rid for more men and money. It Is
hopeless to expect anything like ac
curate details of military movements
in Cuba, as neither party Is scrupulous
about telling the exact truth; but
measured solely by the efforts which
•re made to suppress It, the Insurrec
tion clearly is a formidable affair.
The new portable Maxim gun, a
small innocent-looking affair weighing
but forty-live pounds, bids fair to revo
lutionize modern methods of war. Its
muzzle can be moved out by the bearer
In all directions, and it will fire 600
bullets a minute, sending them through
forty Inches of oak. It Is estimated
that an army of 10,000 men equipped
with this death-dealing terror would
be equal to an army of 1,000,000 men
with the present weapons.
Lady Churchill’s achievements In
English politics first showed the ener

Miss Mary Letter and Miss Jane Cham
berlain, who were, are going to give
an exhibition of their political finesse.
Politics In Great Britain and the Unit

Is likely that the young wives could not
be tempted to electioneer on the Amer

sort of feminine stumping done in the
United States would not capture a vote
in England.

We are threatened with a hotel build

that never to their knowledge was there
as much projected hotel and apartment

the reason? It is this, that electric

Npirl; n Million Dollars Short.
The State Hoard of Equalization has
completed its laborers with the excep
tion of Koyd county. The assessed
valuation of the state is, in round num
bers, $171,000,000. as against $183,000,
000 in 1804, a falling off of 813,000,000.
It is expected that the amount realized
from state assessments this year will
fall between $600,000 and $‘.'00,000 less
thun the legislative appropriation of
last winter, which were a total of $2,
785,000. This deficiency will, there
fore, be added to the outstanding float
ing indebtedness, which is now about
$800,000. The school fund levy is,
maximum, ljtf mills; minimum, one
half of 1 mill. It is claimed that this
great shortage in state valuation arises
from an apparent competition between
taxpayers ns to who shall make the
smallest return to the assessor in pro
portion to the amount of property he
owns.
Stats Horticulturists to Host.
The State Horticultural society has
iccepted the invitation of J. M. Rus
sell & Son of Wymore to hold a sum
mer meeting’ with them July 23, 24 and
23. Wednesday the 24th has been des
isgnated as peach day for Nebraska
and the society members and those in
terested in horticulture are to pass the
day in the Russell orchards, with thou
sands of bushels of peaches in sight
and hundreds of bushels of early ripen
ing varieties to eat Nebraska has
long been known to raise the best ap
ples. cherries and grapes in the west
It is not as well known that hardy va
rieties of peuches are also grown with
commercial profit in the state.
Pusses to tlie State Fair.1
For several years the State Fait
board has been wrestling with one
feature of the pass question which has
caused it no end of trouble and also, it
is estimated, a loss of over $10.U00 per
year in the matter of gate receipts. On
account of the change of location of the
lair this was considered a good year in
which to make a reform and a radical
change has been made in the form.of
the passes. During the lust few years
all of the state fair associations, with
three or four exceptions, have discon
tinued the issuing of unlimited season
passes and have adopted the coupon or
punch system. Ho that Nebraska in
adopting the coupon system this year
is really somewhat behind the times
The plan of issuing two kinds of
passes, a coupon pass and the old style,
was discussed, but it was decided that
it would cause trouble and therefore
only one kind is used. It has at
tached to it five coupons, each one good
for one admission to the grounds. The
coupons are dated one for each day of
the fair. Under this system the board
of managers hopes to break up a “com
bination" which has been imposing
upon it for several years.
Paroled Convicts Disappear.
Warden Leidigh is looking into the
question of rewards for the return of
paroled convicts who have taken French
leave. At least ten of the twenty-five
or thirty convicts out on parole are
6uid to have fled the state and the war
den fears every one will disappear in
the same way. Information from the
governor’s office is to the effect that a
majority of the missing men skipped
out last summer before Warden I.ei
digh came into official existence, but
no one was aware of it until Warden
Leidigh began to devise some way to
get them back. There is a fund of
940,000 to pay officers’ fees and sheriffs
for the return of fugitives from justice,
but it is a question whether such a
fund could be drawn upon to puy re
wards for the return of paroled con
victs However, if the governor issues
reward proclamations, the auditor will
be obliged to pay 9200 for each convict
returned.
Alfalfa In Red Willow County.
Several thousand acres were sown to
alfalfa in Red Willow county this
spring, and many thousand more will
be sown next There are 40,000 acres
of bottom land in the county, good
alfalfa land, and before many years it
will be in alfalfa. Last year was the
dryest known there, and yet alfalfa
was cut three to four times and yielded
five or six tons per acre. The hay
found ready sale last winter at 910 per
ton. Heed runs five to eight bushels
per acre, with some fields up to twelve
to fourteen bushels. A 200-acre field
turned off 1,700 bushels of seed, worth
S3 per bushel, 99,500. The hay and
pasturage was worth half as much,
making 912,750 for the crop on 200
acres, which is not bad for a dry year.
These crops were grown without irri
gation, and almost without ruin. Home
fields have already been cut twice, and
the yield was heavy. A field cut Juno
0 to 8 turned off three good loads to
the acre. The second crop now, July
12, is three feet high. Some sown last
spring where land was clean has been
cut once for hay and the second crop is
a foot high.
CORBETT DIVORCE CASE.

A Decrease in Valuation.
Sixty-six counties have reported to
Auditor Moore a decrease of $8,334.
329.90 in assessed valuation, while ten
other counties report an increase

teen counties which are delinquent
with their abstracts of assessment are

Stoned and Showered With Mad by Brit
ish Electors and Finally Besieged in
a Hotel—Police to the Rescue—
The Wife of a Lord Knocked
Down — The Latest
Election Returns.
London, July 22.—If further evi
dence was needed of the brutality of
English mobs on election days it was
furnished yesterday in the East Nor
folk district, where H. Rider Haggard,
the novelist, was the Conservative
candidate. He made a tour of the dis
trict in a four horse drag and was re
peatedly roughly treated, being pelted
in some cases with mud and stones.
Near Ladham Miss Hartcnp, who was
a member of his party, was cut on the
head by a flying missile and at Stral
ham the party was obliged to take
refuge in a hotel which was besieged
by a mob. Police were sent to the
rescue from North Walsham. North
wick and Yarmouth, and Mr. Haggard
and his friends were rescued at 2
o'clock this morning. The mob which
besieged the hotel numbered about
300, and fled as soon as the police ap
peared. and Haggard returned to
North Walsham. escorted by mounted
police. Miss Hartcup, however, was
too ill to be moved, and was compelled
to remain at the hotel. At Walsham
Haggard received an ovation and made
a speech, in which he said that in all
iiis travels he had not seen such das
tardly conduct. He, however, was de
feated. the vote standing as follows:
R. J. Price, Liberal, sitting member,
4,008; H. Rider Haggard, Conservative.
4,408; Liberal majority, 198, a loss of
242 votes.
As Lord and Lady Mountmore were
entering their carriage at the Mile End
road, after the declaration of the poll,
a man rushed forward calling out,
"She's the one that done it,” and
struck Lady Mountmore in the face
. with his fist, knocking her down. So
great was the force of the blow that
her ladyship remained unconscious for
some time.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the fol
lowing was the standing of the differ
ent parties; Conservatives, 293; Union
ists. 17; total, 340. Liberals, 97; Mc
Carthyites, 46; Parnellites, 6; Labor, 2;
total, 151; grand total, 491; net Union
ist gain, 61.
Mr. McKel way of the Brooklyn Eagle,
who has been studying the elections
and their results, declares that the
things voted down and out here are
sumptuary theories of trade union pol
itics and social experimentations. The
things postponed from present con
sideration are home rule, the disestab
lishment of the English church and
the abolition of the house of lords.
The matters brought to the front are
reform in the poor laws and policy of
largeness rather than thin, local lib
erty for Ireland, vigorous colonial de
velopment and eventually bimetallism
—the latter, > however, in favor of the
International use of silver on its value
in gold. The leaders of both parties
have assured Mr. McKelway that no
change need be expected in the unaf
fected'friendship of Great Britain to
ward the government and the people
of the United States, especially as the
latter, it is added, has ceased to be the
recruiting ground for any political
party in Great Britain.
A Prince's Reckless Betting,
London, July 22.—Prince Francis of
Teck, whose reckless plunging on the
turf has long been notorious, has
finally landed him into a scrape. Al
though he and his family are poor he
bet 10,000 pounds (850,000) to one pound
with a bookmaker on a horse which
was generally regarded ns an abso
lute certainty. But the horse lost and
the prince was unable to pay. A great
scandal followed in clubdom and fin
ally the prince of Wales, the duke of
York and Prince Adolphus of Teck,
who married the daughter of the duke
of Westminster, paid the 10,000 pounds
and Prince Francis will be sent to
