A state convention of farmers is
now in session at Lincoln, and decisive
steps are being taken to influence the
legislature, now in session, to enact
legislation hostile to the railroad inter
ests of Nebraska. NedCUg News.
That is not true. That convention
was for no such purpose. The farmers
of Nebraska desire no legislation hos
tile to tho railroad interests of Nebras
ka. They simply mean to protect their
own interests.

in the State is assessed, and if more is
needed, any desired amount necessary
will bo furnished from the-national as

Died. At the residence of J. H.

the 9th inst, Allie E., infant daughter
of J. 0. and E. A.; Stout, aged five
months and one day.
Gone from our homo- is our darling
little Allie, the bright gem that was
lent to us for a few short months. Al
though her stay with us was brief, sho
entwined herself around our hearts
with a thousand tendrils, and none but
a parent who has lost their little ones
can know the anguish of that sad
parting, but she has gone- to that
"bright land where such flowers never
fade, but bloom forever,, in that sunny
clime. There we shall meet our dar
ling, on that shore "Where, over the

Death shall carry us." S.

moved to this State, remaining here un

Prof. Aughey says, "the great
coal bed at Des Moines, Iowa, 175 miles
e;ist of Nebraska, lies between six
hundred and nine hundred feet below
the surface in Southeastern Nebraska."
The Prof, then goes on to say : "Wheth
er the geological equivalent of that bed
in Nebraska contains also a thicK seam
of coal, can only be ascertained by the
actual test of bo "ing. There are some
reasons to justifj' the opinion that when
once it is reached a thick bed of coal
will be found."

On last Sunday evening there was
an exciting timo at the Opera house in
Lincoln. The house wjis jammed full
of people, to witness a spiritualistic
performance, led by the- famous
(amongst spilualists) Miss-Annie Eva
Fay. They had advert' sed wo derful
thlags, to be done solely by superhu
man instrumentality. At ihe meet
ing, they inv'ted'a committee from the
audieaco to come upon Ihe stage, to
detect and expose any fraud that
might bej.racticed, if wllhin tho abil
ity of the committee to do so. lions.
P. W. Hitchcock and Church liowe
wore seloctedj-as such committee. Dur
ing tho exercises, Mr. IIowo detected
Fay, and one other of tho performes,
in practicing fraud, threw the curla'ns
aside, and exposed the impostors to the
whole house. This of couise- caiused
tremendous e:cemeiit, and broke up
tho show. We notico that the resect
able pape.-s 0 Lincoln sustain Mr.
Howe's part in the matte-, but the
Globe, in a most miserable and illogical
style upholds tho swindle aud tho
swindlers.
Tho brewers of Omaha have been
publVjhig statements of late, in the
Herald, claiming that" they pay the
farmers of Nebraska annually $56,S75
for bar'ej'. The anti-prohibition pa
pers, making this item a basis, claim
that the farmers will bo injured to
that amount annually, in case of a
prohibition law. A correspondent of
the same paper, conceding the farmers
receive the claimed sum, shows tho
"other side" of the question. The bar
ley for which this sum of money is
paid, turns out 30,000 barrels of beer,
valued at 8300,000 ; retailed, costs the
consumers 000,000. Thus the brew
ers pay out$50,S75 for barley, and the
farmers pay them for the produced
beer 000,000. In other words, tho
people pay the brewers 8543,125 for
tho privilege of selling their $5G,S75
worth of barley. Just where tho ben
efit comes in to tho people is difficult
to find out. When the brewers make
over a half million of dollars out of
the people, giving them nothing in re
turn, is easily seen.

The Suicide of Tannic Enepher.
This community suffered another
shock on last Tuesday evening, about
four o'clock as the news went from one
to another that Miss Fannie Kneffer
had poisoned herself, and was dead, at
her father's house. Vo repaired to
the scene of death and lamentation and
learned the particulars of the sad
affair. Between three and four o'clock
Fannie went to Nickell's drug store
and purchased Lten cents worth of
strychnine, returned homo, and stop
ping outside the door, tore open the
package and swallowed the deadly drug,
then entered the house, took a sup of
water, and remarked in the presence
of the persons- present her mother,
Mr. and Mrs. Pavey, two other sisters
and a Mr. Moore "I have clone what I
said I would." "What was that?" was
asked. "Taken poison," she answered.
This was laughed at by her friends ;but
Mr. Moore, observing her closely, soon
saw there was something the matter
with her, and by the time he had lift
ed her onto the bed she was rigid in a
convulsion. In tho meantime Pavey,
who from the first more than half be
lieved that Fannie hadrmade an at
tempt upon her life, had found the en
velope which had contained thepoison,
and proceeding at once to tho drug
store had his suspicions confirmed.
He then hastened to procure the attend
ance of a physician. He spent a liitle
time at this, when he finally found Dr.
Owens Vho promptly responded. But
it was too late then :and the handsome,
blooming, vivacious Fannie was dead
within thirty minutes from the time
she took the poison. And 'what was
the cause for this strong, healthy young
lady to kill herself. .Our conclusion is
that it wassimply a strong self will
and ungovernable temper; and because
her mother had thought it best to ad
vise her regarding her supposed inten
tions to marry a marj who was court
ing her, sho became enraged, and in
her angry fit did the irrevocable deed
she would not have done when not
crazed by anger; for instantly after
taking the suicidal dose, she became
calm, and when she felt its deadly
clutch upon her vitals, she begged her
friends to save her, for "I do not want
to die." The family do not believe she
intended to kill herself, that she did it
to scare them, and that they could re
lieve her bjr vomiting or otherwise;
that sho had no knowledge of the dif
ference in poisons, and made a fearful
mistake in choosing strychnine. The
frantic efforts they made to cause her
to vomit, with such remedies asjwarm
water, salt water, strong coffee etc.
while tho doctor was coining, of course
had not tho slightest "effect Miss
Fannie was in her ISth year. The
family of the deceased have the warm
est sympathy of the people.
The funeral will take place at the
family residence at 10 o'clock, Thurs
day morning.

Tho latest dodgo to secure sub

is just now being exhibited in the

The agent promises to give any kind

will only subscribe for the paper. Such
"taffy" would be dearly bought at any

LINCOLN C0RRE3P0ITDEN0E.
To tho Editor of Tho Advertiser:
After the excitement over the elec
tion of speaker had died awayr and a
score or more of the- hanger on politi
cians Lad gone to their homes, the leg
islature settled down to business, and
has been making rapid progress ever
since. The present legislature, no
doubt, will give Xebraska some- need
ed legislation. The majority of the
members ara young men active, en
ergetic, and capable, and will take a
deep interest in the welfare of the
State. As a body.each house strikes
the looker-on much more favorably
than did either house two years aso.
This j'ear, in the Senate one notes
several men of prominence and ability.
VanWyck, Gere, Myers, Doane and
IIowo each contest for the leadership.
Every speech VanWyck makes is a bid
for the Senatorshipi IIowo, of Doug
las, a Democrat, is continually labor
ing to put his Republican brethren on
record, and in his desire for 'economy
he sometimes makes himself appear
ridiculous. The Senate proceedings
have been made both exciting: and
amusing by the consideration of the
different contests. Tho Weils-Jones
contest, from Saline, has demanded tho
principal attention. The committee
on Privileges and Elections recom
mended that Wells hold his seat, he
being considered legally entitled to it.
Over this action of the committee,
VanWyck and Myers had many a tilt
Van fighting for Jones, thereby ob
taining anoiher vote. Snyder, con
tested by Ballentine, has been adjudg
ed insane, and is now an inmate of the
asylum. I do not know what effect
this will havo on tho contest.
Of the two bodies, however, the
House commands the most attention
and the largest audiences. Every day,
and especially overy afternoon, the
House gallery is crowded with ladies
and gentlemen. While tho Senate
bobs to the influence of live or six
leaders," the House recognizes only one
man as worthy of this position. By
members of tho legislature and per
sons outside, by his friends and ene
mies, Church Howe, is everywhere
recognized as tho loader of the- House
this, the IGth session. And to such an
extent is he so recognized that it has
been said by several "had Howe been
elected Speaker, tho members would
nave oeen at sea, unauie to pilot, or
find a pilot."
The disloyalty displayed by tho Xe
maha delegation, Contingent Tom, and
Charity Bill is still commented upon,
and often is heard the remark, that
such perfidy should be rewarded in
Consigning the participants to a politi
cal grave. Were I a citizen of Xema
ha, and her people of tho character
and stamina I think them to be, the
future would inform the State that
Xemaha did want and would have re
ceived tho speakership, and that be
cause of the treachery on a part of a
few Xemaha people sho was robbed of
that boon, she would neither forgive
nor forget, and would see to it that
such persons were never again placed
in a. position whereby Nemaha's inter

Married, by Judge Stull, Dec. 20,
"Wm. Savill and Mary Temp. "We can
ussure-our young friend. Mr. Savill,
that there was no intentional neglect
in not making notice of ln"3 marriage
sooner. "Wedding supper at the resi
dence of the father of tho bridegroom,
the next evening after the marriage,
with the profuse hospitality and good
cheer which all well know who have
ever sat at the hospitable board of Mr.
Ben. Savill. "We wish much joy to
this worthy wedded couple.
"Passed to Paradise." That is
what the journals said of Rev. E. II.
Chapin, a few days ago. From our
early youth, we IearnedTto look with
reverence and admiration on tho char
acter of Mr. Chapin. All along our
earth journey the light of this beauti
ful life shone on our way. In the
fierce battles for freedom, for temper
anco, for tho welfare of humanity, his
voice was heard in bold, sweet tones.
His graceful pen was ever busy for tho
moral uplifting of mankind. "Proba
bly no ono ever heard him preach
without carrying away in his memory
some beautiful thought in a golden
setting of words," says the Xew York
Tribune of this great soul, which has
passed to Paradise. This being true,
what a harvest of grand thoughts and
holy acts will be tho result of the la
bor of this servant of God ; this disci
ple in the school of the Great Teacher,
in which school he had learned so
many beautiful lessons that made his
life so grand. Farewell, brother, wo
will all meet in Paradise, from which
we will all go to judgment, "To be
judged according to deeds done in the
body."

Very DroU to TlilnSt of.
If not nbovo being tanght by a man, use
Dobbln'8 Electric Soiip next wash day. Used
without any wiiah boiler or rubbing board,
and nseddlfTerer.tly from any other soap ev
er made. It seems very droll to think of a
quiet, orderly two hours light work on wash
day, with no heat and no hteam, or smell oJ
the washing through tho house Instead of a
lorg day's hard work; but hundreds of
thousands of women from Nova Scotia to
Texas have proved for themselves, that this
Is done by using Dobblns'a Electric Soap.
Don't buy It, however. If too set lo your
ways to uao It according to directions, that
are as simple as to seem almost ridiculous
and so easy that a girl of 12 years can do a
lnrte wash without belnj tired. It positive
ly will not Injure thejflnest fabric, hus been
before the public for fifteen years, and Its
sale doubles every year. If your grocer has
not got It, lie will set lt.na wholesale grocers
keep It. J. M. Campbell, sole agent, How
