James appeared before Judge Swain at the appointed hour today and stood trial for the criminal libel suit brought against him by the wire fence men. The result was the- discharge of the defendant amid the approving shouts of the assembled spectators. Mad Dg Scare Oxford. Neb., March 1. Concider able excitement was created today when dog belonging to Jacob Struve was se:zed with hydrophobia. It was promptly dispatched before biting any persons or animals. This is the second or third time Oxford has recently been stirred up over a mad dog scti-Q, and the authorities say that all the dos must either go or be muzzled, consequently a lively war of extermination of the canine tribe is in progress. A Wind Mill Manufactory. Columbus, Neb., March 2. At a citi zens meeting last evening it was decided to give a bonus of $3,000 and about three acres of land to Dean & Wo r ley, who have incorporated as the Qilt Edge Manufacturing corapany, for the purpose of manufacturing wind mills. The bonus was raised today, and work on the factory will be begun at once. Fifteen thousand dollars will be invested in buildings and machinery to start with. They expect to have the facorr, in run ning order in sixty days. An Exciting Runaway.. David Citt, Neb., March 3. A. team driven by Dr. Barker ran away last even ing and after wrecking the buggy became seperated and came tearing up Perkins avenue. Oue of them nvtde direct fo the Doty block and went crashjqg through a plate glass window of the post office, the front part of which is occupied by C. D. Taylor's jewelry store. The ither madened beast selected the middle of the sidewalk down the east side of the square, and ran over Yot Wo and Gid Gates, two QLinese. laundryrnen, and came near crushing tinder fuot tle baby and carriage of Mrs. y'iH Oarpentcr, ICtor Mlnehart to Be Tried. LIncoln, Neb., March 2 The Grace Methodist church trouble is growing apace. It is gjyen out tad.ay that speci fic charges have been made out against Pastor Minehart, and that they are now in the hands of Presiding Elder Miller, and will be acted upon in a few days, It is probable that the church trial will be on the sensational order. It is under stood that the charges as preferred, ac cuse Minehart with teaching doctrines from the pulpit not in conformity with the doctrines of the church; that he has been in the habit of treating members. of the charge in a hars.h and disrespectful manner, not only in a social way, but in his use of language from the pulpit. The charges will be presented to Mine hart tomorrow by the presiding elder who holds the regular quarterly meeting at the church at that time. It is alio said that the accused will be given two weeks to secure council, prepare his answer and get ready for the trial. The Prince of Coolarln. 7o are told of McDermot, known as the IMnce of Coolavin, who, belonged Eq one of the principal Connaught families, that his income in 177(1 barely amounted, to 100 a year, yet ho never suffered Wa children to sit down In his presence. Lady Morgan adds that his daughter-in-Jaw alone was permitted to rat at his table; even lus wife was not accorded this privilege, as. though well born, she was not of royal blood. When Lord Kings 'oorough, Mr. Ponsonby, Mr. O'Hara, Mr. Sanford, and others, all men of position, came to 6ee him lie only took notice of tho two last named, whom he thus ad dressed: "O'Hara. you are welcome! Sanford, I am glad to see your mother's son" (his mother was an CUrL-ii). "As to tho rest of ye, como in as ye can. Blackwood s Magazine. settle by April 1st, as all my accounts SP 2H liens Versa Cows. A few miles from the city of London resides a gentleman and his good wife, owning and tilling fifty acres of land. The gentleman has always bad great faith in his cows paying well, but thought the hens a bill of expense. The lady, on the other hand, contended that the hens paid better than the cows. Ac cordingly one 6pring.ehe determined to keep books for one season and ascertain tho respective merits of both. She cred ited the lions with all eggs laid, and in teresting indeed was the contest as the time drew nigh for receiving the check from the cheese factory. But it came at last, and behold, tho hens were ahead, and so it continued throughout tho sea son. One hundred I10113 to three cows, and as they ltad decided in the spring that it would cost about the same to keep each, the gentleman was forced to yield the ooint and admit that tho bens were most profitable; and if others would keep an xac-t account they would be surprised :t the result, but most farmers do not ,ive their hens credit for anything ex cept what eggs are taken to market. It s not at all difficult to make hens pay 1 per bead per annum if properly cared .'or. The writer on one occasion made 1 per head on five dark Brahma hens ifter laying al tsxpunsos. This, it will e understood, was per egga und meal done, not for breeding stock, as half a lollar was the highest price realized for voung birds. Farmers Advocate. Cannonading for Ttain. A rather peculiar petition, &4 pre icnted to tho Kansas housJ'by Mr. Sher man, of Hooka county. It was from 132 citizens of that county. They want the legislature to make an appropriation for tho purpose of exjerimentinjr in a mat ter of securing rainfall by means of cannonading. The petition was as follows: "Vv'e, your petitioners, many of us veterans of the late war, knowing from experience that heavy rainfalls fol lowed each battle or heavy cannonading, and believing that ths f ici indjeaies that man may PfCjduce. -'amfal by artificial perturbation' of the atmosphere whe.u otherwise It would not be experienced, and believing it would bo wise for the state of Kansas to make a reasonable ex periment in the matter of attempting to produce artificial rainfall, would most respectfully ask you tot make an appro priation, out pf tho treasury for tho pur pose of such experiments either by can nonading or otherwise as may be deemed best,"Kansaa eity Star. A Queer Statue of Queen Victoria. Everybody knows that tho Princess Louise is not a mere amateur dabbler, but a real artist in sculpture, and the statue of the queen on which she is en gaged, and which is to be erected in Kensington Gardens, between the palace and the round pond, will certainly be as daring in design as it will be novel. It is intended to represent her majesty as she appeared on tho memorable morning in June, 1837, when it was announced to her that6he was queen of England. It will be remembered Sir George llayter's picture has commemorated it that upon tho occasion the Princess Victoria ap peared in the scantiest of attire a mere robe de nuit, with a shawl hastily flung over it. Rumor has it that the Princess. Louise is succeeding in giving to this decidedly unconventional attire the ap pearance of quite classical drapery, London Life. Secret Hiding 1 "laces. One of the most interesting features of our country houses is the secret hiding place. This generally has been contrived with much architectural skill, and in days gone by baffled discovery from the most observant and experienced eye. In certain cases it would appear that, for some reason or other, the hiding place has been specially kept a secret among members of the family. Thus, in tli north of England, may be mentioned Netherhall, near Mary port, CumberLnd, the seat of the old family of Senhouse. In this time honored mansion there is said to be a real secret chamber, its exact position being only known to two persons the heir-in-law and the family solicitor. According to the popular tradition the secret of the hidden room has never been revealed to more than two living persons at a time! This mysterious room has no window, und, despite every endeavor to discover it, has, it is said, defied the in genuity of every visitor staying in the house. With this secret chamber may be compared the one at Glamis, the lat ter possessing a window, but which haj not led to the identification of the my terioua room.

Whilo the principal cities of this coun try are no doubt very favorable places for street mil way investors, yet in pro portion to their number and wealth the people of tho City of Mexico contribute more, perhaps, to the support of their horse cars than thoso of any other city. Nobody seems to walk there who can' scrapo together enough to ride. Mules are the motive power, and these thin beasts gallop along at a reckless pace under constant lashing from their driver. There are first, second and third class cars, which vary in price from a real (about 12 cents) down to 2 cents. The first class coaches are about as comfort able as tho Broadway cars of New York. The second class cars havo small win dows near the roof without glass, a bench running lengthwise along either wall, and another without a back down the center. Third class cars carry freight and Indians indiscriminately. One road, which extends far out of tho city to the principal cemetery, runs funeral cars draped in mourning, and does a big bus iness in funerals. As all tho lines meet at the principal square of the city, tho mournirvg poaches can be switched olf to any part of tho town. At tho cemetery they are 6ide tracked to await tho return of tho fune ral party. Street Railway Journal. A Maori Essay on the Ostrich. Tho following copy of a co.ta,pc6iUan of a New Zealand boy on, tho subject of What Do you, Know About an Os trich.6" was received by a lady in this city from a friend in England who takes an active part in missionary work; "The ostrich is an African animal that lives cn sand and. generaliy hunts on horseback. The feinalo makes a nest in tho sand, which is simply a deep hole, and then tho male fays in it ten or twelve eggs, which ho hatches, for wak ing ornainent3 and for food for his. fam ily. Theso eggs ch.nse, hei,r parent all over the doaen ho is quite tired, poor fellow "The three tail fcs.ihc.rs or this ostrich form the motto I 6erve,' and they belong to tho Prince of Wales, who is also fond of these tail feathers. This ostrich is often used for drinking cupa. and other various amusementa, but it is chiefly valued, pop the, beautiful feathers, wluch. aro found on his Icgs and thoso that grow on the egg shell," Pittsburg Dis patch. Stephenson's leisure Hours. George Stephenson, the great railway pioneer, did not know his alphabet until ho was IS years of age; byt he no sooner became convinced of tho, necessity of learning to read in order to get on in the world than he set about it with all the energy he possessed, and went to school (though he made rather a big schoolboy) while he was working twelve hours a day at very laborious work. licside learning to read "-"id write and acquir ing tho other elements of education, he mended clocks and shoes for his neigh bors in his "leisure hours." George Stephenson's example shows that a great deal may be done if wo only make up our minds to do it. Boston Herald." Hand Spinning antl Tfoavin;. First of rJI, to answer the question. Does it pay? which is the average Eng lishmen's first question. I want my pro ject to be, as all honest schemes ought to be, self supporting; 60 I am glad to be able to reply that it does pay, even in the hard and fast commercial sense. I had been mindful of a maxim of Mr. How ells in one of hij books, "Before you learn to do a thing, pray bo sure people want it." I find people do want tho Langdale linen, for without advertising or public ity I have orders from all parts of Eng land for many hundreds of yards. And it pays, too, in a coin current in another kingdom than this; pays a hundred fold, in tho glad, uncounted treasure of bright ened homes and heartlis made happy with sweet and honest labor. I reap, too, all to myself, a little har vest of pleasant sights and sounds. It gladdens me greatly to pass a cottage door and to hear from witlun the soft murmur of the wheel. Onco too, on a wild November day, I saw a strange, weird vision of the Fates, not Narcissus crowned, but here alive before me as three Westmoreland women. Little did tho three spinsters think as they drew and cut the tangled thread from the dis taff that they were setting forth in homely fashion under the crags of Louglmgg the tremepdoua myth of life and death preached centuries ago under the olive groves of Greece.
