OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
- HAIGLER.
Cattle arc very poor in tins vicinity.
Loss is quite heavy.
C. D. 31oore is building a sod house
on his homestead 6 miles from Uaigler.
Mr. I. Porter went to Denver , Mon
day , to visit his little daughter Maud ,
who is attending school there.
Tom Hill was seen flying westward.
We think that it will take a whole regi
ment of U. S. Marshals to capture him.
The weather has been somewhat
fctormy within the past two weeks , but
it helps the "grass along ; it is looking
fine.
. T. Mooie has just purchased two car
loads of cattle at Burlington , Iowa , and
intends shipping to'his ranch on Buffalo
creek as soon as grass will permit.
Mr. Carrington , from Culbertson , was
in this vicinity Saturday , getting the
landholders to sign a petition to have
the landresurveyed by government
survey. We think it a good idea.
GC. . Workman and F. B. Moore
have just put in 5,000 brook trout on
F. B.'s homestead , aud intend pntting
in carp soon. They will be ready for
market in about two years , if they do
as expected.
April Sth. - CAD.
OUR Senators and Bepresenatives
have our thanks for public documents
received.
NEBRASKA , in its" next Legislature ,
it is said by a Nebraska poet , ought to
provide for the indictment and punish
ment of the compositor who "kills" so
many poems.
THE educational bill which passed
the Senate , Monday , appropriated $77-
000,000 , to be distributed among the
states in proportion to illiteracy , on the
basis of the census of 1880 , the pay
ment of the money to extend over a 'ser
ies of eight years : 1st year , $7,000-
000 ; 2d year , $10,000,000 ; 3d year.
$13,000,000 ; and-then diminish at the
rate of $2,000,000 per year until the
expiration of the Sth year , when the
appropriation ceases. We know of no
more befitting way of disposing of Un
cle Sam's surplus gold than in the edu
cation of his illiterate children. Neb
raska's percentage will be the smallest
of any state in the Union having less
illiteracy than any other state. The
southern states will receive the great
bulk of the appropriation.
GEN. GORDON is in the worst posi
tion he has ever been in during his most
eventful life. Each day makes it more
and more precarious. He is shut up in
Khartoum. No aid can reach him fro'in
any source , it seems , allthough he is
expecting some Indian troops to reach
him by way of Suakim and Berber , but
they fail to come to his rescue. The
reports from Berber are that that the
partisans of the Mahdi hold the entire a
command of the Nile between Khar
toum and Shendy. The governor of
Sennar has sent to Gen. Gordon asking
for help. The Sennar garrison , he
