the Lincoln News. A farmer south of

Hbou lifteen loads of dirt and sand.
The waste whs run into Middle creek.
Tho sluice was made by men unaccus
tomed to such work, and it is hard to
tell just how much jroid there was in
the lifteen loads of sand. However,
about $22 worth of gold was obtained
ns a result of the experiment and
about one-half a Dushel of block 6and
was secured, which has not been
tested yet. It is thought that quK$.a
larjre amount of gold was washed over.'
Wednesday ten farmers from Pleasant
Dale and several from JUlford hauled
twenty-five loads of dirt and sand to
Milforu and arranged a sluico to W2&

were washed and everything went
along very smoothly until the pro
prietor of the mill saw that the dirt
that was bein? washed down was work
ing havoc with his mill wheel. The
mill man ordered them to stop wash

run his mill if they kept on running
tbeir dirt down into the river. The
gold men did not like to stop, as sev
eral of the men had hauled their sand
several miles so they could use the
city water to make the test, but the
irate miller, who is a man who will
measure more than six feet in his
stockings, told them in such energetic
tones to stop that they stopped. Sat
urday the work was Gnished and the
waste was run off into another place.
Engineer Bartlett said that there was
at least $50 worth of pure gold in the
black sand that was obtained when the
work was finished "Saturday. He says
that they did flot save more than one
half of the gold in the dirt. All of the

A Well Spiked Cannon.
Joseph Wallace Cannon, a young
man who gave his name as Joe and
said his home was in Cass county and
claimed to boa relative of "Treasurer
Eikenbary, says the .Nebraska City
News, today became a guest of this
county and will most likely remain for
some time, and all on account of a very
foolish move he made. . He was sitting
at the desk at the Grand Pacific writ

an order ior 4h8 rew Farley was
sent for. and as soon as ho arrived the
young man was placed under arrest
and requested to .elevate his hands,
which ho promptly complied with, and
Mr. Sichl proceeded to see what he
had. He found a new revolver.
Cannon was taken to the court house
when he told the officers that ho had
never been in trouble before except
when he appropriated a bicj-cle, but
the crime was condoned. He also ad
mitted that tho order was a forgery.
No doubt the young man will serve a
longtime in the penitential'.

InHtitute Instructors.
It will be gratifying to the teachers
of this county to learn that educators
of rare ability have been secured to
instruct them in the county institute,
to he held March 23-27, inclusive.
The combination as arranged is:
Chas. C. Van Liew, Illinois; R Heber
- Holbrooke HhiladerpTiVa; Chancellor
McEoan, of the Nebraska state univer
sity, and Wm. Ilawley Smith, of Il
linois. -
Prof. Van Liew is one of the leading
"Child Study" men of Illinois, and
secretary of tho society for child
study in that state, besides other work.
He will givo a lecture each day on
this subject. Parents, as well as
teachers, will bo interested in these
lectures.
Prof. Ilolbrook has, for several
years, been considered ono of tho
strongest institute workers to bo
found, having worked in institutes in
raott of the states. He is now con
nected with the State Normal school
of Pennsylvania, formerly with the
Ohio State Normal.
Wm. Ilawley Smith has a national
reputation as a lecturer, so needs no
introduction. It might be said that
ho was the center of attraction (if
there was one) at our state teachers'
association this winter. He delivers a
lecture the evening of the first day,
and will be with us through the ses
sions of Tuesday and, perhaps, Mon
day as well.
..Chancellor McLean lectures Tues
day evening. Everyone will want to
hear him. It will be his first address
at a county institute.
There will be a reception on Wed
nesday for teachers and their friends.
The publio addresses for Thursday'.
and Friday evenings will probably be
delivered by Profs. Van Liew and
Ilolbrook, respectively. Ex-Senator
Manderson for Friday evening Is a
possibility.

Another wolf hunt took place last
Saturday just west of South Bend, in
which one hundred men took part.
.The territory taken in was one milo
wide and two miles long, and three
wolves were in the ring when rounded

other badly crippled, but it managed
to get away, as there were no hounds
on the ground. There is to be another
hunt on the samo territory next Sat

about three miles square. The two

An Expensive Scrap.
.The case of the state vs. Eli Jones,
who was charged with assaulting John
Carnes, was tried to a jury in Judge
Archer's court yesterday. The county
attorney, C. S. Polk, appeared for the
state and Matthew Gering appeared
for the defendant. The case was vig
orousiy contested, but it resulted in a
verdict of guilty. Judge Archer then
fined the man $5, which, with a cost
bill of $33, will keep him in jail sev
eral days.

Gentlemen : I desire to express my heartfelt
thanks to you for my marvelous restoration to
health. I was sick for many years with a. bad
case of diabetes which made me very thin and j
weaK. I also sutterea much loss ot sleep, having i
to get up so many times at night to pass urine,
and also great annoyance from thirst that water
would not satisfy. A few months ago I began,
to follow your instructions in regard to diet
and to use
Dr. J. H. McLean's Liver and Kidney Balm.
It is a grand medicine. I used three bottles, and, thanks be to God, am a
well man again. You are at liberty to publish this if you desire, as I would
be glad to be the means o calling the attention of victims of diabetes to a
remedy that will give them a blessed relief. LOUIS PHILLIPS,

Tho report of the secretary of the
Smithsonian institution, just issued,
contains some interesting statements
as to tho rapid disappearance of the
buffalo from tho Yellowstone nark.
When this park was organized it was
supposed that a permanent refugo for
these animals had been secured. On
the other hand, the secretary reports
that the conditions in the pa-k are
such that the extermination of the
government herd may be accomplish
ed in a very short space of time. The
superintendent has no means at his
command for Drotectiner them, which
is of itself sufficient inducement for
the ravages of poachers. Two years
ago there were 200 buffaloes -in the '
park. The present estimate is fifty,
and these are so constantly pursued
that it is safe to say they will all be
killed within a year. . All of the other
animals in the park are properly pro
tected and are increasing. In view of
the fate which seems destined to over
take the buffalo the report recom
mends that these animals, or a ma-
jority-of them, shall -be transferred as
soon as practicable to the National
Zoological park at Washington, which
affords room and security. "Their
natural increase in the future can be
distributed by exchange with the
zoological gardens of the various parks
of tho United States, so that no large
city need be without its representa
tives of the great herds so often re
ferred to in our early history, and now
a memory." Chicago Tribune. -
