HARIU-OX.
NEBRASKA.
The British editors are pained to .
mote that through the singular stub- I
bornnefcs of the America o uattou, their .
edict ordering the abolition of the loa- t
roe doctrine has not ye t gone Into effect.
All men who have failed In advertls- j
Ing here have been plungers. Instead j
of confining their advertising to one j
or two mediums of known circulation
and value, they have taken space in j
all the daily papers and nearly all of
the various fake schemes daily pre
sented. A process has been patented In Ger
many for making a substitute for the
natural skin for use on wound. The
muscular coating of the Intestines of
animals is divested of mucous mem
brane, and then treated In a pepsin so
lution until the muscular fillers are
half digested. After a second treat
ment with tannin and gallic arid, a
tissue is produced which can take the
place of the natural skin, and which,
when laid on the wound. Is entirely ab
sorbed during the healing process.

Mr. Claude F Wright, secretary of
the late Mnie. Blavatsky, In a lecture
before the New York Tbeosophieal So
ciety the other evening espoused the
cause of Col. Ingersoll and charged the
Endeavorers with practicing sorcery
and black magic In their attempt to
convert the Colonel. The latter may
well pray to be delivered from any res
cuer who was In any way attached to
the late Mme. Blavatsky, What she
did not know of sorcery, black magic,
prestidigitation and sleight of hand Is
not worth knowing. Col. Ingersoll Is
amply able to take care of himself and
does not need proffers of assistance
from those extraordinary persons. The
last things In the world that could
command his respect would be the doc
trine' of Karma, the authority of Ma
hatmas, or the possession of astral
bodies. ,,,
A celebrated Belgian physician says
that yawning Is an exceedingly healthy
function generally, besides having a
very salutary effect in complaluts of
the pharynx and eustachian tubes. Ac
cording to the results of late Investiga
tions, yawning is the most natural
form of respiratory exercise, bringing
Into action all the respiratory muscles
of the chest and neck. It Is recom
mended that every person should have
a good yawn, with stretching of the
limbs, morning and evening, for the
purpose of ventilating the lungs and
tonl Tying the muscles of respiration.
An eminent authority claims that this
form of gymnastics has a remarkable
effect In relieving throat aud ear trou
bles, and says that patients suffering
from disorders of the throat have de
rived great leneflt from it .lie makes
his patients yawn either by suggestion,
Imitation, or by a series of full breaths
with the lips partly closed. The yawn
ing Is repeated six or eight times, and
should be followed by swallowing. By
this means the air and mucus in the
, eustachian tubes are aspirated.
The French Chamber of Deputies has
gone to extremes In the levying of
taxes on the rich. After a four weeks'
debate, and by a vote of 404 to 125, that
body passed a bill for a graduated inheritance-tax
law, In which the highest
rate levied was 20 per cent, or one
fifth of the estate. The lowest-dutles
are those paid by lineal descendants
and range from 14 to 4 per cent, the
first-named rate being levied on all
sums under $2,000. Leaving lineal de
scendants the rate is much higher
When a husband or wife Inherits the
rate for fortunes above $400,000 Is to
be 9 per cent In the case of a brother
or sister it will be 14 per cent; In the
case of an uncle or nephew, 16 per
cent When the property, or any por
tion of It over $400,000, is bequeathed to
more distant relatives or to strangers
In blood this last Including any insti
tution, ecclesiastical or charitablethe
rate Is fixed at 20 per cent The last
Illinois Legislature passed an inheritance-tax
law, but there is no comprlson
between the two measures in the rates
lvied. The highest rate by the Illi
nois law Is G per cent On direct heirs
It is only 1 per cent, with a $20,000 ex
emption. The passage of the bill in the
French Chamber of Deputies may have
been due In part to tne influence of the
socialists. But the large vote for It
hows that It could not have been en
tirely doe to them.
While England and the United States
have been considering the necessity
for calling upon the powers to compel
China to protect foreigners and In
demnify persons who suffered at the
hands of lawless mobs, France has act
ad without regard to any other power,
ad has secured from China the pay
tent of an indemnity of 4,000,000
francs for outrages committed some
since ob the French mission sta
te Chasm. The payment of this
tomtit? was probably hastened by
Cll tOa4t France assumed during the
r-t nt war Iwtween China and Japan,
aud the kind offices she then rendered
China were worth many hundivd times
the amount of indemnity Just paid.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that
France asked nobody's sld In colla t
ing hr claim against the Chinese. Our
government should certainly profit by
France's example, and not wait upon
anybody In pressing a claim for in
demnity for the outrages recently com
mitted upon Amerknn missionaries and
the destruction of property of Aru.r;
can citizens. Were we to make o.n
mon cause with any European power.
It Is reasonably certain that Anitiican
claims would be male to play a sec
ondary role In the demands made upon
the Chinese Government. The United
8taies has, moreover, no ambitious de
signs on Chinese territory, and shotiid
not be made a catspaw to draw chest
nuts out of the lire for Great 1'rHaiu.
It will probably be easier f r the
United States to collect an lndimni-y
single-handed than with ne a -distance
of a European power, as China has
pood reason to fear that the Kuropenn
G'lveruients have more sinister designs
Ix-i.in l their demands than a cscie
wish to secure reparation for outrages
committed npon their subjects.
Among the subjects to be forced on
the attention of Congress Is that of im
migration. The attempt will be ruade
to secure not the exclusion of any im
migrants whose character and stand
ards fit them to lu-comc citizens, but a
stricter regulation of Immigration. The
object sought Is to make provision for
the exclusion of all persons between 14
and 00 years of age who cannot Wh
read and write the English language or
some other lauguiigc The bill offered
by Senator Lodge aims to accomplish
this result The latest bulletin of the
Immigration Restriction League shows
that immigration is increasing, which
Is an evidence of returning prosperity.
The league emphasizes the importance
of having the laws revised at once, thus
making them effective In sifting out the
unworthy and undesirable elements as
the number of arrivals Is Increasing.
The total Immigration for the ftwul
year ended June 30, 1SS14, was liss.icti.
while that for the next year was only
258.530. For the six months ended
Oct. 31, lH!)f, however, the number of
immigrants was 142,104, as agalut
only 02,073 for the corresponding
months of the previous year. This Is
a gain of 53 per cent The immigra
tion during the six months from May 1
to Oct. 31 was within 48,7i0 of the total
Immigration at the txirt of New York
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1815.
The restriction league presents some
figures as to the Illiteracy of Immi
grants. The number of persons over 10
years of age In each 100 of arrivals
who cannot ssavj and write their own
language Is given as follows: Sweden
and Norway, 1; Germany, 2; France,
England and Scotland. 3; Ireland, 7;
Wales, l); average for these countries,
4. From other countries, however, the
showing 4s not so good. It is: Russia,
20; Fobtnd, 29; Austria-Hungary, 30;
Italy, 44; average for these countries,
32. It must Ik! noted that these ofllclal
figures as to Illiteracy are not based
upon actual tests, but depend for their
accuracy upon the truth of the Immi
grants' answers to questions put to
them. If they were actually required
by the lnst-tors to read and write be
fore admission, the figures of Illiteracy
would undoubtedly be larger.
KINO OF CHICKEN THIEVES.
This Fellow Btol 10,000 Fowls ia
Two Year.
There Is a prisoner In the Middlesex
County Jail at Cambridge, Mass., who
might Justly be teriued the king of
chicken thieve. The prisoner, who Is
a white man, halls from Vermont and
his name ia Frank I'ike. For the past
two years be has been engaged in the
profewshnu of robbing hen rooets, and
during that time he Is said to have
made away with 10.000 chickens. I'ike
did a profitable business selling the
stolen fowls. He had a special line of
customers and kept them all supplied.
So skillful was he In his line of busi
ness that he escaped detection until
a couple of weeks ago, and then he was
only caught through an accident
He sold his wares at such a low price
to poor people that he was looked upon
by them as a farmer philanthropist. He
represented to his customers that he
had a large chicken farm in the coun
try, from which be got his stipjly. A
few days before his arrest I'ike began
to drum np a turkey trade and Just
about the time that he was to start out
to raid the abodes of likely turkeys
he w-aa caught He had visltod every
hen rooet In Cambridge and the sur
rounding towns.
Self-Propelling Carriages.
An exhibition of "horseless carriages"
was made recently at Tunbrtdge Wells,
England. It served rather to show the
variety of attempts that have been
made to solve the problem of self-propelling
vehicles, than to bring forward
any remarkable novelty. Almost all
the "automobile" machines exhibited
have been described frequently. The
English papers are laughing at the act
of parliament regulating the use of
such machines on common roads. It
forbids a rate of speed for them greater
than two miles an hour; and requires
them to be preceded by a man carrying
a red flag as a signal of danger.

shooting affray last bight tn the Union
theatre, iu thy li'r e mining ramn of
Victor, a few n He out, threw the place
into great exci uent. Early in the
evening the toughs ot the town gave it
out thit they would clean out the
Union, and when Mansger J-milb of
the theatre accused Tom l'ascoe, one ot
the audience, of being the lea ier, a
pitched battle was prtcipitated. The
killed are:
Georee Smith, manager of the theatre.
Tom Fascoe.
The wounded:
George Ferguson, mortally.
Kobert fMulin, snot in thigh.
Fred E its, left arm broken by shot.
Several others received flesh wounds.
Victor has always borne an excellent
reputation as a mining camp, free froin
saloon brawls arid shooting affrays.
Saloons and danc- halls have been run
ning night and day ever since the
camp was started, and last night's
sffiir is ttie first serious trouble the
town has had.
1 he variety at the Union was pro
gressing as usual aud the program was
about half finished wheu Manager
Smith came in from his otflee and
walked to a table, at whieli were seated
five or six men. One o' them was Tom
l'ascoe, a well known man about the
camp, emitti accused him of being the
leader of a gang of loughs which were
scattered about the theatre and told
him be had heard the toughs had come
to cleso out the place. The lie was
passed Instantly and in a jiffy a dozen
pistols were flashing in the gas light,
l.efore any one could Interfere Pasco
had brought his pistol to a level with
Smith's head and had let its contents
go. r-mitb dropped on his knee. aud as
he fell he was seen to draw his gun. A
report rang out and Pascoe reeled and
fell almost directly acrosj Smith. The
hooting then became general and
when the smoke bad cleared away the
extent of the damage was known.
Nearly every light in the place had been
hot out, and It was some time before
sufficient lamps could be obtained to
allow tho marshal to see who had been
killed. It Is reroarbable that but two
were killed, as bullet marks are every
where. Some of the wounded left the
place for tbeir camps without saying
who they were and a full list of the in-,
lured cannot be obtatned.

Washington, D. C Jan. L Lieui.
Samuel S. Fague of the Fifteenth in
fantry regiment was yesterday dis
missed from the United States army in
accordance with the findings of a court
martial. The charge on which. Lieu
tenant I'ague was tried was based on
an attempt made by him on the life of
the commanding officer of his regiment,
Colonel Crolton, at Fortbherldan, near
Chicago, where the Ffteeuth infantry
Is stationed. The verdict of the court
martial was "guilty" and yesterday
afternoon President Cleveland ap
proved this finding. The attempt
made by Lieutenant I'ague to kill Col
onel Crofton was sensational. At the
time of the happening last summer it
was stated at Fort Sheridan that the
lieutenant had rushed upon Colonel
Crofton while the latier was command
ing his regiment on dress parade aud
fired at him with a revolver. At the
trial, however, it was shown that the
attempt was made in the apartments
of Lieutenant I'ague, where Colonel
Crofton was making a call on Mrs.
Hague. Lieutenant Pague tried to
shoot the colonel, but was dUaimed.
He managed to fire a shot, however,
when Colonel Crofton had left his quar
ters and the bullet passed through the
colonel's coat.
In his own defense Lieutenant Pague
Claimed that Colonel Crofton's atten
tions to Mrs. I'ague had not been
proper.
After the conclusion of the trial a
medical examination of Lieutenant
Pague to determine his sanity was held,
but the result indicated only that the
lieutenant was addicted to the use of
intoxicants. There is much sincere
sorrow felt for Lieutenant Pague
among army cfllcers, who describe him
as frank, manly and courageous. He
was born in Ohio and w as appointed to
the mili'ary academy from that state.
He was graduated in 1670.
The general order dismissing Lieut.
Pague from the service was promul
gated this afternoon and takes effect
immediately. It shows that lie was
found guilty of every charge and spec
Ication preferred. The charges were
drunkenness on duty, attempt to kill a
superior otlicer aud assault with Intent
to murder.

Newapapor Train Wrtcked.
Dkxveh, Colo., Jan. 2. A special
train on tne Denver & Kio Grand car
rying the new year's edition of the
Rocky Mountain News to Leadville,
was wrecked at u'.slta, five miles from
its destination, at 8:10 yesterday morn,
ing.
The killed are:
be liaker, e.sgineer, Sillda.
il. Hartman, fireman, Salida.
Four men in the baggage car e-capt-d
unhurt and the one coach was
uninjured.
The train departed from Denver at
1 :30 a. m. making the run to Pueblo at
an average speed of forty-four miles
per hour for a distance of 120 miles,
Salida, over 2X) miles distant, was
reached at 6:00 a. m. and thence to
Malta, fifty-eight miles, the speed was
cloce to fi'ty miles per hour. At the
.Malta swltcb, after the.locomotive bad
passed and was turning a shiirp curve,
the switch rail slid back, causing th
locomotive to turn on the depot plat
form. The cars ran upon the sloping
sidetrack, the baggage car turning com
pletely over.
The Denver Republican entered in
this race by hiring a special train from
the Colorado Midland, which left Den
ver thirty minutes ahead of its rival
arid safely reached Leadville at 7:10 a.
m., making the run in six hours and
Ive minutes. Tbe strain npon the
locomotive was evidently terrific, and
it is doubtful if the officials will soon
repeat this performance.
