Actixo under orders from Mayor
Graham, Chief of Police Melick of Lin

houses which have been running in the
city. The police were instructed to
notify the proprietors of all such es
tablishments on their beats of the
mayor's orders, and, if the proprietors
complied and closed, to make no ar
rests. If they attempt to ignore the
orders the officers were to bring in the
proprietors, their paraphernalia, and
all parties found in the houses. All the
gamblers quietly closed up.
Parties in the vicinity of North
Loup who have raised pop corn the past
season for the use of eastern dealers re
port a decided increase in the returns
realized over those obtained formerly
for the same amount of labor expended
in raising ordinary field corn. While
the crop is somewhat difficult to gath
er, the great difference in the price
amply justifies the extra labor, while
the tillage, acre for acre, is said to be
no greater than that required by ordi
nary field corn. One farmer has already
made arrangements with a Lincoln
seed house to put in a large quantity oi
field beans and table corn the coming
season.

T. M. Fisher received word
to get a

list of farms for sale he reported several
choice ones, but none, says the Grafton
correspondent of the Fairmont Signal,
of them cheap in price. Regardless ol
the prevailing hard times in financial
matters,' farmers who live here have
not loft faith in Nebraska.
Stand by Nebraska.
A Beatrice correspondent of the Lin
coln Journal writes: The recent pub
lication in the Chicago Times-Herald of
a page article pretending to show that
a large percentage of Nebraska's peo
ple were seeking homes in the south,
has stirred up a host of Gage county
people who have been south and who
have returned disgusted. The Journal
could name at least a score who have
been able to get back and as many
more who would like to, but can't.
Dick Davis, a gentleman who lived in

a
similar story. They were enticed to
their prospecting trips at a season of
the year when things were prett3' blue
in Nebraska and when the crops and
climatic conditions of the south were
at their best. Two gentlemen in the
city, who have large property interests,
were offered free transportation and
expenses paid by a southern railroad if
they would go south and thereby show
at least an indication to change their
location. The offer was declined with
thanks.
i Kick of thffc South,
j Fairbury dispatch: Harry Chain ol
Rock Creek precinct, in this county, is
! an industrious farmer, who, prompted
! by crop failures and the alluring tales
; that came from the south, departed
some weeks since for Louisiana to in
spect the "modern Eden" with a view
of locating. He stopped at St. Charles,
that state, and there he wrote home
that he would return to Nebraska in
j time to put in a crop. He had enough
of the south and declared himself in
emphatic language. It had, he said,
rained there steadily for two weeks and
the state was but little better than a
vast slough, which he did not consider
fit to be inhabited by human beings,
Wells seven feet deep supplied the pop
ulace with very unwholesome water,
and the dead were either cremated or
buried above ground and dirt piled
over them for a covering. Digging a
grave according to the civilized custom
was out of the question on account of
the surface water. Chills and ague
were prevalent the year round and
ignorance and indolence predominated
to a surprising degree. Although some
thing of a pessimist when he left he
now says the Nebraska farmer who
exchanges his land for possessions in
the south makes a great mistake.
Sugar Bounty Warrants.
Lincoln dispatch: There has been
considerable curiosity around the state
house as to what would be the final
outcome of the matter of the warrants
drawn by the state auditor on the
state general fund in payment of the
40,000 of bounty claimed by the beet
sugar manufacturers from the state.
The auditor- took the ground that al
though there was no appropriation
for this specific purpose, that since the
secretary of state had certified to him
that the sugar made had been inspec
ted and amounted to so much there
was no choice but for him. the auditor,
to issue the warrants under the man
datory, i
The opponents of the bounty it has j
been supposed would take some action '
to prevent the payment of the war- j
rants by the state treasurer. Just
what this would be has been the sub
ject of much speculation.
Leases on Public Land.
Land Commissioner Russell haslatelv
received a great many remittances for
leases due on public lands far below
the minimum amount which he feels
disposed to accept for such rents. In
good times it is usual for renters to pay
the full amount, some SG for each forty
acres, but he has taken as low as 15
cents per forty. Of late quite a num
ber of renters have sent in amounts
based on a payment as low as 3 and 4
cents per fortv. The commissioner
believes the time has come to draw the
line, and has returned these low ren
tals with the statement that it will not
do. Many of the pettv payments are
being made by speculators, which
makes the attempt to euchre the state
much more reprehensible. The low
payment of 15 cents has been accepted
cn the supposition that the parties were
actual settlers and in no condition at
present to make larger payments.
lint Nebraska Loads.
As an agricultural state, says tht
jwair courier, Nebraska leads the
union. Her soil is better adapted to
larming than that of any other state.
One important item that shows the fer
tility of our soil is the fact that there
are 15,247,705 acres of land under cul
tivation and during 18'J5 there was
pent for fertilizer Mississippi
had only 5,S4U,31)0 under the plow, vet
she spent for fertilizer S7S0,2GS; Ala
bama had 7,698,343 acres and snent for
fertilizer $2,421,048; Georgia had !.5S2,-
806 acres and spent for fertilizer ??5,
724,187. Thus you can readil- see that
Nebraska soil is richer and better
adapted to the agricultural pursuits
than any other state. Iowa ranks a
close second, as crop statistics will
show, but Nebraska leads.
Civil Service Mills.
The civil service commission has
given notice of examinations to be held
throughout the United States during
the first six months of 1896. In Ne
braska examinations will be held at
Hastings, April 22, and at Omaha. April
24. Railway mail examinations will
be held in Omaha, April 25. The states
in which examinations are to be held
have not received their quota of ap
pointments, and therefore are eligible
to take any of the examinations for po
sitions within the classified service.
A Longer State ralr.
President Barnes of the State Board
of agriculture says he will, in his ad
dress at the annual meeting to be Meld
in Lincoln, January 21, recommend
that the fair be opened on Thursday,
instead of Friday, as heretofore, and
that it close on Saturday instead of on
Friday. It was freely admitted by
President Barnes and all the members
of the board of managers that the state
fair, at least while it is held in Omaha,
is too big an institution to be crowded
into one week, and they agree with the
local fair association that if possible it
should be extended over two full
weeks.
BOUNCED DR. JAMESON
HE
IS NO LONGER ADMINISTRATOR
OF MASHONALAND.
LATEST FROM TRANSVAAL
The Governor of Cape Colony Proclaim
the Invader's Retirement Trans
vaal' Demands in Settlement In
crease the Gravity of the
Situation Demands of
the ISoers.
Capktown, Jan. 13. A proclamation
issued by Sir Hercules Robinson, gov
ernor of Cape Colony, removes Dr.
Jameson from the position of adminis
trator of Mashonaland. He is re
placed by Mr. F. J. Newton, secretary
ot the British colony of Bechuanaland.
Delegates from the Orange Free State
have been sent to the Transvaal to
confer with the government of the re
public as to the steps to be taken in the
event of the Orange Free State being
asked to assist the Transvaal.
Captain Thatcher, who fought
against the Boers with Jameson's
freebooters and then escaped disguised
as a reporter, says that when Dr.
Jameson tried to get round the Boer
position his men were dropping off
their horses from exhaustion and
hunger. The raiders also suffered
terribly from lack of water, and the
Maxim rapid firing guns became over
heated and jumped. The flag of truce
hoisted by the freebooters was made
from a shirt of one of the wounded
men, and was waved over their heads
from the barrel of a rille without
Jameson's consent. The latter cried
like a child when the raiders surren
dered, and the men loudly cursed the
Rand Uitlanders for failing to send
them the promised assistance.
London, Jan. 13. A dispatch from
Johannesburg, dated yesterday, says
that the crisis in the Transvaal is not
over. President Krueger and Sir Her
cules Robinson, the governor of Cape
Colony, have failed to agree upon a
settlement of the matters in dispute.
If these reports be true, the gravity
of the situation has increased, and the
reason for the assembling of Great
Bri tain's fleet may be found in the
strained relations between the presi
dent of Transvaal and the g07ernor of
Cape Colony. There are also signs
that the Orange Free State and the
Transvaal government will make com
mon cause against Great Britain,
should there be further trouble, and
the report of a secret understanding
between Germany and the Transvaal
continues undenied in official circles.
The freqnently repeated assertion
that the British government has pur
chased Delagoa bay from Portugal,
thus cutting off any possibility of the
Boers obtaining a seaport, is still un
confirmed and uncontradicted.
Johannesburg, Jan. 13. A feeling
of great uneasiness prevails here. It
is understood that the Uitlanders' re
form committee is to be tried for high
treason before the high court of Pre-
A. " , , . .
toria. several memoers oi tne com
mittee have fled and one of them was
allowed to depart after depositing a
surety for his appearance when called
upon. The amount deposited was
$100,000.
The government is greatly incensed
at the tardy and incomplete surrender
by the Uitlanders of their arms which,
it is believed, are being concealed.
Only about 2,000 rifles have been given
up, whereas 26.000 are said to have
been issued.
A conference between Sir Hercules
Robinson, the governor of Cape Col
ony, and the Transvaal executive is
believed to have left the situation
strained and difficult to settle. It is
understoad that the Transvaal de
inam s include the annexation to the
Boer Republic of Amatongaland, lately
added to the colony of Natal, the an
nulment of the convention of i;S4 and
the institution and enforcement of a
passport system throughout the coun
try. The situation is thus regarded as
being graver than ever.
It has been reported to the govern
ment at Bloomfontein, the capital of
the Orange Free State, that docu
ments have been discovered showing
that a wide spread plot existed
against the Transvaal. Governor Rob
inson, however, is absolved from all
knowledge of the matter.
Grave Robbery in Des Moines.
Des Moines, Iowa, Jan 13. The
bodies of Mrs. George Townsend,
buried Thursday in Saylorvilie ceme
tery near here, and of Sand Bell, a
miner recently .buried, are missing
from their graves. The police searched
the Medical college and found the
bodies of four men stnd one woman.
Among them those of Mrs. Townsend
and Sandy Bell were also identified.
No arrests have been made as yet.
The facts have caused great excite
ment in the city.
The "Duke of Tombstone's" Fall.
Chicago, Jan. 13. Edwin Fields, who
formerly owned a large part of the
city of Tombstone, Ariz., and a mine
worth over half a million dollars, was
last night taken to the county hos
pital in the police ambulance. From
the hospital he will be taken to the
poor house at Dunning to spend his
few remaining years. Fields has a
wealthy brother, but he is too prond
to ask aid.
Minnie Palmer to Marry a Dnke.
Baltimore, Md., Jan. J3 Miss
Minnie Palmer, who is playing an en
gagement at the Lyceum theater here,
announced last night that she will be
married on May 15, in London, to the
Duke d Estrella, of rsavarre, whom
the met atTrouvelle last summer.
Shut Down to Keep Up I'rlces.
Elivood, Ind., Jan. 13. All the win
dow glass factories west of Pittsburg
closed down for one month to keep
up prices, and thousands of men will
be out of employment that length of
time in consequence.
MRS. VANDERB1LT WEDDED
She Becomes the Wife of Oliver Hazard
Ferry Belmont.
New York, Jan. 13. Mrs. Alva E.
Vanderbilt, the divorced wife of Will
iam K. " Vanderbilt, was married to
Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, by
Major Strong at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. The ceremony was performed at
No. 24 East Seventy-second street, the
home of the bride. Miss Smith, Mrs.
Vanderbilt's sister, and a few person
al friends were present. Almost im
mediately after the couple had been
married they left the house, and, it is
understood, started for Marblehouse
at Newport.
Perry Belmont is 40 years old and is
a son of the late financier, August
Belmont, and a grandson of Commo
dore Perry. He inherited a large for
tune from his father and has long been
a conspicuous figure socially in New
York. For years he was "Willie K."
Vanderbilt's closest friend.
HUDSON WINS HIS CASE.
The Kansas Supreme Court Decides the
l'rinteridiip Contest.
ToPEKA,Kan..Jan. 13. The Supreme
court this forenoon handed down an
opinion in the Snow-Hudson State
printership eontest, giving the office
to J. K. Hudson, the Republican in
cumbent. Mrs. Webb Loses Her Case.
Topeka, Kan.. Jan 13. Judge R. B.
Spill man of Manhattan, sitting as
special judge of the Shawnee county
district court, last night decided the
case of the widow of Leland J. Webb
against the A. O. U. W. for her hus
band's life insurance, against the
plaintiff. Webb had been suspended
for non-payment of an assessment
and after his death the claim was set
up that he was insane at the time of
his delinquency and therefore not re
sponsible. The court holds that pay
ment of a life insurance premium is a
matter in which the beneficiaries of a
policy are as much interested as the
insured, and their neglect to pay in
the cave of insanity or other disability
of the injured is fatal to the contract.
The case will -.e taken to the supreme
court.
Smith Advises Against Flynn's UllL
Washington, Jan. 13. Secretary
Hoke hmith will advise congress not
to pass the Flynn free-home bill, i
which was referred to him for an opin- ;
ion. This bill, it will le remembered, !
allowed settlers who had bought lands
open to settlement through purchase i
of the Indians to be relieved from ob- j
ligation to pay. This report is not
unexpected to Mr. Flynn, and he is
confident that, in spite of it, he will ;
be able to report the measure to the '
house favorably. He claims also to be
confident that the house will pass the ;
bill, and has further assurances of j
support in the senate, without the
same certainty of ultimate passage. j
Dockery lor Governor of MisKonri.
WAsuiNGTON.Jan. 13. State Auditor
Seibert and Secretary of State Leueur,
spent another day conferring with
Missouri Democrats in Washington.
In the conferences that have been
held the merits of the various candi
dates for governor have been dkcussed.
Senator Coekrell has not been brought
to a frame of mind which permits him
to think of accepting the nomination
for governor. The Senator would like
to see Mr. Dockery nominated. He is
said to regard him as exceptionally
strong at this time. It is not impossi
ble that a movement to nominate Mr.
Dockery for governor will be inaugur
ated soon after their return.
Dakota Divorcees Alarmed.
Yaxktok, S. D., Jan. 13. The di
vorce colony at Yankton has been
greatly alarmed by the announcement
of District Judge Smith that an inves
tigation is about to be made of alleged
false affidavits recently filed in divorce
cases. Such affidavits state that the
whereabouts of defendants are un
known to plain tiffs, and that service
ean, consequently, be had only by pub
lication. In instances where such
frauds are found to have been perpe
trated the judge will, he declares, re
open the cases, even though the plain
tiffs have remarried, in order to give
the defendants an opportunity to make
appearances if they so desire.

eat war is on in Lafayette county. A
petition is to be presented to the

who, as Miss Nina Van Zandt,
achieved much notoriety nine years
ago by her marriage to August Spies,
the Anarchi.it,. will become a lecturer.

Ex-Representative Geher Pardoned.
Spbikgfifxp, I1L, Jan. 13. Governoi
Altgeld yesterday granted a pardon to
ex-Representative John L. Geher, serv
ing five years at Joliet penitentiary
for murder committed during a riot at
Little's mine, in Tazewell county, in
1891, when two men were killed and
the mine burned.
Another Trust Shake Up.
Chicago, Jan. J2. Attorney General
Moloney has begun quo warranto pro
ceedings against the National Linseed
Oil company, on the ground that it is
a trust. The case is similar to the
proceedings pushed to a conclusion
against the late whisky trust.
OKLAHOMA NEXT.
She Desires a Place in the Sisterhood of
States.
Oklahoma City, Okla., Jan. 9. The
town is filled with delegates to the
Statehood convention, which com
menced to-day. Nearly all of them
are in favor of Statehood for Okla
homa, but there are almost as many
chemes tor attaining it as there are
delegates. Ever since Oklahoma was
first opened to settlement there has
been an intense rivalry between the
different towns. Congress provided
that the first legislature of Oklahoma
should meet at Guthrie and fix the ter
ritorial capital. Then began a fight
of the bitterest kind between the dif
ferent towns. Legislatures voted the
capital three times to Oklahoma City
and once to Kingfisher, but Governor
Steele vetoed it each time, and the
capital remains at Guthrie.
The location of the future capital of
Oklahoma as a state will depend
largely on the boundary lines of the
new state. If a state is made of Okla
homa with its present boundaries,
Kingfisher or El Reno would be near
the center and would stand better
chances for the capitol than either ;
Perry, Guthrie or Oklahoma City, on
the extreme eastern edge of the state.
So Kingfisher and El Reno favor im
mediate statehood of Oklahoma with
its present bounds, and the Perry,
Guthrie and Oklahoma City people are
against it.
Oklahoma City wants a single state
made of Oklahoma territory. That
would make Oklahoma City the i
geographical center of the state and ;
put her first in the race for the cap- j
ital. This local feeling about the fn-
ture location of the capital is one of ;
the great elements in the fight for
statehood and must not be lost sight ,
of by anyone who desires to under- '
stand the situation here. j
A large element in the convention ;
will favor the formation of a State out i
of Oklahoma, with the Chickasaw na- !
tion added, and with a provision for
allowing the other nations of the In-
dian Territory to come in as they t
vish, with the consent of Congress, j
Some Republicans oppose this, because i
Oklahoma is Republican and nine out j
of ten people in the Chickasaw nation '
are Democrats, and that would make i
the State of Oklahoma Democratic, j
Republicans say it is a scheme of the f
Democrats to capture the State, and
they would rather see a State made of '
Oklahoma with its present boundaries. I
TO ANNEX HAWAII.
A Treaty of Admission With Uncle 8am
Proposed in a House Resolution.
Washington, Jan. 9. The subject
of the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands was broached in the House
to-day by Mr. Spaulding, Republican,
of Michigan, in the form of a resolu
tion, which provided that the Sand
wich islands be formed into a new
State, to be called the State of Hawaii,
with a republican form of govern
ment, to be adopted by the people,
through deputies in convention, with
the consent of the existing govern
ment. Conditions are imposed that
questions of boundary or complications
with other governments be transmit
ted to the President to be laid before
Congress for its final action before
January 1, 1893; that all property per
taining to the public defense be ceded
to the United States, but the State re
tain all other property, and the United
States to be liable for none of its
debts.
'The resolution proposes as an alter
native that Hawaii may be admitted
as a state by treaty between the two
governments, with one representative
in Congress, and proposes an appro
priation of SlC0, 00 for making the
treaty.
The resolution was read by unani
mous consent and referred to the com
mittee on foreign affairs.

(From tue Cincinnati Luquircr.)
The American people live tco fast, rat
too fast and drink too fast. This has
brought ujion many of us a tram of nervous
and stomach disorders that arc very diffi
cult to manage. Investigation i.m' chemical
analysis to discover such con;poiuSa as will
help those suffering from such ills has re
sulted in the discovery ol Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, which has taken
very high rank as a siiecilic remedy.
H. P. Owens, a traveling nut" thirty
years of age, who is well uuwu ia this
community and generally liked because he
is a bright, energetic vouug Ici.ow, resides
with his mother at SJa Central Avenue,
Cincinnati. Ohio. He has been a v.o..iru ot
dyspepsia which took the form of continu
ous constipation, and, strangely enough,
his mother suffered from the s;uno trouble.
Mr. Owens testified to the im-rUs of Pink
Pills in a most enthusiastic way, arj'J said
to the Unquirer reporter:
'I am glad to say anything 1 can i: r Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, h;-caue iU.y di.i me
I great gool, and other ieople cj;:nt to know
of their virtues as a medicine in .stomach
. troubles. It was some tin.c ; .o wh' ii 1
felt a heavy feeling in my stomach, ami I
' grew very constipated. 1 did not on -nil a
i doctor, bat having heard of the lMiic 1'iiN I
bought a box of them. Ju two or three
, days the heavy feeling in my stomach dis
appeared and my bowels were regular. I
did not have to use more than a box of
them before I was well. Siin.v that time I
have only occasionally been troubtil with
; constipation, and 1 never fret ivmri'.l, be
cause I know just what to no. idoti.er w;is
also troubled with indiire.-.t;on and the
Pink Pills did the same lor her they did
i for me cured her, didn't they, mother."
When appealed to Mrs. Owens answered:
j "That is ritiht. 1 found it was a great
! medicine, so easy to take and so quick and
' lasting in its results."
j Mr. Owens continued: "I believe that
these pills are also pood for nervousness.
When I bad my stomach trouJlo 1 was also
; quite nervous and that disappeared with
the dvspepsia. ThePiuk Pilis were ad that
is claimed for them. You c;.n mab1 any
use of this testimonial you see fit."
H. P. Owens has occupied several posi
tions of trust in this city. )'.; was lor a

lie will go on "the road in a leu Uajs fora

Owens is quite as enthusiast.c as her mui
about the Pink Pills and he-host of :ady
friends can verify her eooa opinion of tl.is
wonderful remedy if they Jt el disposed to
do so at any time. Where th-j testimony
is so general and unanimous s to the ex
cellencies of Pink Pills as the Inquirer l.as
found it to be there is certainly iiood reason
to believe all the good things said about
the safe and simple remedy.

'Just as I expected!" said the strug

from the editor. "He says my poem is
'very good,' and he accepts it. but
'under the circumstances' he does not
feel justified in allowing more than SI
for it," which sum he 'begs to inclose.
When he finds out it's an acrostic con

a stingy old cus, he won't think he got
that poem so blamed cheap after all, gol
