THE TEIBUNB. F. M. & E. M. K13IMKIX , Fob * . McCOOK , NEB NEWS OF NEBRASKA. THE NEW SUUCEON. Among the recent changes which have taken place on the Union Pacific road , says the Omaha Republican , Is that occasioned by the resignation , sixty days ago , of-Dr. 8. D. Mercer , chief surgeon of the medical department. His successor has now arrived and will assume his now duties on the 15th inst. , the date on which Mr. Mercer's res ignation was to take effect. The new chief surgeon is Dr. Oscar J. Ffeiffer , of Boston a young man between 25 and 80 years of age , a graduate of the Harvard medical school anc for two years In the Massachusetts general hospital at Boston. It is designed within a very short time to remove the headquarters of this department to Denver , that being con sldered tbo most advantageous location from which to operate the various branches of the road , as it IB about cqul-dlstant from Omaha Ogdcn and Kansas City , and the central poini of the Colorado system. A BAD OmdilAN. R. H. Franklin , who for twelve months past has been keeping a board ing house at Sixteenth and Mason streets , is reported missing. In addition to his boarding house Franklin also had a meat market anc grocery store. Ho is said to be heavily la debted to Omaha merchants , and has forgot ten to leave any tangible assets behind him. Franklin came hero from Ohio. Where he has gone to is another matter. He is a widower , and when he left town a few days ago said ho was going off to get married. During Frank lin's absence his family sold off all the stock , closed up the bouse , and Tuesday night , in an swer to a telegram , made a quick exit. There is great mourning among the creditors , and many anxious inquiries about the missing man. It looks like another instance of an Ohio man going wrong. Omaha Herald. GENERAL STATE NOTES. The gobblers are now fattening nil along the line. Dodge county this year polled thirty-four hundred votes. Wayne co\inty voted at the late election to build a new jail. The new night patrol service on the B. & M will go into operation in a few days. A sweeping change of superintendents of divisions on the Union Pacific was made last week. Brown county polled 1,600 votes. Two years ago there were less than 100 settlers in the county. A disastrous flre TMS prevented recently at Pawnee by prompt and effective action of its citizens. W. B. Nelson , of Lincoln , Neb. , s'ulclded at r Sioux City last week by shooting himself in the head. The state's exhibit of field products at New Orleans will require fifteen cars for its trans portation. A workman in Iler's distillery atOmaha had his arm badly crushed by being caught in a cog wheel. Omaha is called upon to confront numerous suits for damages by reason of changing the grades of streets. Judge Brewer , in the U. S. court at Omaha , in the Brighton ranch case , has decided that the fences must go. The weather for corn husking is all that could be desired and farmers are Improving it to the fullest extent. John Green , an old resident of Omaha , was badly hurt a few days ago , by being run over by a B. & M. locomotive. Diphtheria has again broken out in Kear ney , and the Courier advises parents to keep their children out of school. More new houses are being erected in Kear ney now than has ever been known in any previous year since its existence. Ex-Marshal Guthrie serving a term in the penitentiary , was taken to Omaha a few days ago to testify in the case of ex-Mayor Chase. Prof. White has resigned his position with the Hastings college. He does this with the intention of preparing himself for the min istry. Wm. Lunzman , son of Fred Lunzman , of Auburn , while carelessly handling a revolver , shot himself through the hand , making a bad wound. * Captain Phillips , the victim of the Cedar county desperado , is getting worse , and the opinion of. the physicians Is that he cannot . * recover. * One Norris , a former Union Pacific brakeman - man , is under arrest at Omaha for stealing a hundred dollars' worth of tickets from the company. Nearly all the towns in the northern part of the state cast a larger vote this year than ever before , which indicates a good growth in population. By accident Colonel Morrow , of Harvard , swallowed some aqua ammonia , which , but for the timely-skill of the doctor , might have proved serious. The tailor shop of M. Goldberg , Omaha , was ebbed on election night , three overcoats , three pairs of pants and a piece of suiting being carried off. A Junlata doctor locked up his office , placarded the door "Gone to dinner , " and the next seen of him he appeared fresh from In diana with a new wife. The section house at Hartington , valued at $700 , was burned last week. The'fire was caused by a defective llue. The goods it con tained were mostly saved. A Methodist church costing $40,000 , a Con gregational church costing $20,000 , and a Pres byterian church costing $25,030 , are approach ing completion at Lincoln. The Omaha refining works , recently de stroyed by fire , have been rebuilt and com menced operations. The manufactoryIs'now double its former capacity. * r ' The college of the United Brethren will be located at Homer , Dakota county. A sixty acre farm near town bos been selected for the site. The building will cost not less than $20- 000. - , W. J. Nelson , who , defrauded Lincoln credit ors , was captured at Sioux City and shot him self dead soon after his arrest. The unfortu nate man leftproperty enough in Lincoln.it is thought , to settle his liabilities. Charles C. Carlton , acompositor in the Omaha Bee , was found dead In his room last Sun day. He worked as usual Saturday , and it was not known that ho was dead until "time" was called for commencement of composition on Sunday. The Nebraska Farmer says there "will be no occasion for poor seed corn next season , if proper care is given the selection of seed this fall ; yet we venture the assertion that not one-half our farmers have selected and stored away their seed. " The Union Pacific company having com to pleted the Schuyler bridge , offered to turn It * over to the Colfax county commlssioners , and that body not being willing to accept it on contract , it was closed and will not bo opened until the matter is settled. Tbo Wakcfleld Republican says the present low price of corn makes the problem f corn for fuel a question of practical value. It is generally estimated , by those who have tried It , that corn Is worth about the same for fuo as Iowa coal , ton for ton. Mrs. Mary Dltmar , of Oakland , received her little children from Toronto , Canada. They were taken by Dltmar when he left that sec tion three years ago , and upon hearing of his recent suicide at Toronto , the children were sent for and have just arrived. Lewis Anguish , the two-year-old son of Anguish , of Arapahoe , was thrown out of a buggy and Instantly killed. The mother of the boy was also thrown out and severely In jured. The accident occurred early in the morning while driving to town. Beatrice has sixteen different manufactur ng establishments , employing $80,000 capital and 198 men. Tbo amount of wages paid per year Is 550,000 ; value of raw material used $100,200 , and the amount realized for the manufactured products , $230,500. The residence of Wesley N. Kerns , of Table Rock , burned to the ground on the 7th be tween 2 and 3 o'clock. Everything was lost nothing saved whatever. The origin of the flro Is a mystery. Mr. Kerns met with a nar row escape , being nearly suffocated. Charles Schleger , of Omaha , went hunting last Sunday , and in returning homo used his gun as ja walking-stick. In this manner one barrel was exploded , the contents entering the young man's head and killing him in stantly. He was 25 years old and leaves a widowed mother. A disastrous prairie fire , says the Valentine Reporter , swept over the table land north of town last week , destroying a large amount of property. David Coggswell Is the greatest sufferer , losing his stable , hay , six head of horses , and being himself burned so badly that life is despaired of. The St. Helena Nonpareil has no sympathy with the petition which Is being circulated asking thatthe commissioners of Cedar county offer a reward for the apprehension of the men who lynched the man who shot Captain Phillips. The latter is still alive , but his re covery is considered doubtful. Last week an engine was bringing a freight train down the hill from the Summit , near Omaha , when all at once there was a loud re port and the engine lost all control of tht train. It was soon found that the steam chests had been blown off from both sides of the engine. No one was hurt. The jury in the bribery case of ex-Mayor Chose , on trial at Omaha , rendered a verdict of acquittal without leaving their seats. Ex- Marshal Guthrie , serving out a term in the penitentiary , was the main witness in the case , and ho refused to answer questions on the ground that it would criminate hiirsclf. There is at length an end to the efforts of the Episcopal council of Nebraska to secure a successor to the late lamented Bishop Clark- son. The end has been reached by the con sent of the Rev. Dr. Worthlngton , o'f Detroit , to accept thoposition. He will probably enter upon his duties about the first of the year. The Y. M. C. A. convention at Omaha elected the following as members of the state execu tive committee : S. D.Fitchie , Weeping Wa ter ; George F. Work , Hastings ; B. L. Paine , John Miller , C. C. Pierce , J. A. Dummett , Lin coln ; H. H.Chaplin , York ; C.F.Harrison , O. S. Wood , J. S. Detwiler , Omaha ; Leavitt Burn- ham , chairman ; George A. Joplin , secretary ; J. L. Kennedy , treasurer. There was a meeting of citizens of Lincoln the other evening to revive the town clock project and consider what measures should betaken to secure the funds necessary to purchase a first class clockto furnish perfect and standard time for the benefit of every body who cares to read and hear. A com mittee to solicit subscriptions for the enter prise was appointed. A horse stolen from W. G. Welsbans , of Omaha , was found by a detective in the south ern part of Sarpy county , and along with it were taken twelve or fourteen others , all be lieved to have been stolen. It is the theory of several who have had occasion to investi gate the matter that two bands of these thieves , one in Kansas and the other In Ne braska , are constantly plying their nefarious business. The rapid development of the western part of Nebraska [ makes the organization of new counties necessary at short intervals. The proclamation of Governor Dawes relative to the organization of Hayes county has jutt been publishtd in the Lincoln Journal. Secre tary Roggen also has in his office a petition for the organization of a now county , bearing the name of Keya Paha , out of a portion of Brown county. Secretary Roggen tells the Lincoln Journal that both the proposed amendments to the state laws are defeated. That providing for a railroad commission is badly snowed under and the other wi 1 lack ten or fifteen thousand votes of being carried. The latter is the amendment extending the length of the ses sion of the legislature to sixty days and fixing the compensation of members at three hun dred dollars for the session. John C. Gass , of Pennsylvania , went to bed in Omaha a few nights ago in apparently good health. Short'y after , Mr. Sargent , with whom he was making his home , heard strange rI and unusual noises in bis room. Going in he I discovered Gass in the throes of epileptic con I vulsions. A doctor was hastily summoned , but could afford no relief. The violence of the convulsions caused a lesion of the blood vessels , hemorrhage ensued , and shortly afterwards the sufferer passed away. c A young man from Omaha went out to Millard - lard to visit his brother , who works for a farmer named Allen. The young man arrived at the farm house about 9 o'clock , and found the family hod retired. All in sport he rapped loudly on the door , and In reply to Mr. Allen's query , "Who's there , and whatde you want ? " replied that he wanted bis ( Allen's ) money , or his life. Allen told him to go around to the back-door , and seizing a shotgun , opened the door and shot the young man in the neck , In- Uicting probably fatal wounds. Allen was greatly shocked on learning who the supposed robber was. Johcph Cook was arrested at St. Joseph , Mo. , on the 12th , for the murder of Leonard Roll , near Blue Hill , Neb. , on the night of Novem ber 1. The arrest was made by Deputy Sheriff Blagg , of Nodaway county , Missouri , and the prisoner was turned over to Sheriff Warren , it of Webster county , Nebraska , who arrived half an hour before Cook was taken In cus- ody. The prisoner admits that he left Blue Hill on the night of the murder but claims thathe did not know of Roll's death until after he was arrested. The team which was stolen from Roll has not yet been discovered but the officers are on the trail of it. The prisoner was brought to Nebraska. The Fullerton Journal records the following in fatal accident : Mrs. Brady had gone out near the barn to see her husband , who was going town. Lariated near by was a pet calf. The calf , belnglarge and strong , in his playful mood succeeded in winding the rope around Mrs. B. This so entangled her that she fell to the ground. It proved a fatal fall. Her bus band , who was only a few rods on his way to town , went to her assistance , and with his aid eho walked to the house. Neither were aware that any serious Injury had been sustained A doctor was sent for. On his arrival It was found that there was no pulse at the wrist and but a feeble flutter at the temple. Every possible effort was made to arouse the vita forces , but all proved of no avail. She lln gcred froml o'clock , thetlma shewasInjured until C , when she called for her husband and told him she was dying. In afewminutes her spirit had taken its flight and had gene to God. CAPITAL 2BJEFS. According to the figures compiled by Secre tary McPhcrson the next house of congress will have a democratic majority of forty-one The president has modified Rule 19 , of the Civil Service Regulations , specifying officers exempt from examination , so as to include in the list disbursing officers having the custody of money , which have given bonds. Agricultural department reports for the November returns of the rate of yield of corn indicate the product somewhat in excess of 1,000,000,000 bushels , or an average rate of email fraction above 26 bushels per acre. The total values of domestic breadstuff's ex ported during October was $11,541,112 , agains $14,740,994 for the corresponding month of 1883. For the ton months ended October 31s It was $120,098,047 , and $143,123,331 for the cor responding period of 1883. The annual report of Major General Scho field , commanding the division of the Mis souri , treats of the operations in that division during the past year. The roster of the troops in that division shows seven regiments ant two companies of cavalry , nineteen regiments and one company of infantry , and four bat teries of field artillery. The report urges the necessity for liberal appropriations to provide permanent shelter and barracks for the troops in tbo division. The Washington monument has reached a greater height than that of any other struc ture in the world , being 520 fcetand ten inches above the floor of the monument. The next highest structure is the spire of the Cologne cathedral , which towers 515 feet above the iloor of the building. It is estimated that it will take but twenty-five workingdays to com plete the monument , so there is no doubt of its being finished in time for dedication on the 22d of February. The annual rep rt of Hon. Walter Evans commissioner of internal revenue , for the fiscal year ending June 30th , 1884 , has been submitted to the secretary of the treasury The total receipts from all the sources of in ternal revenue taxation for the year is $121- 590,039 , as compared with $144,533,344 for the year 18S3. $146,523,273 for the year 1882 , and 5133,229.913 for the year 1881. It is estimated that $115,000,000 will be collected for the present ent fiscal year. The payment of tax on the large production of spirits for 1881 was a ma terial factor in the collections during the past year and the commissioner says that the fall ing off anticipated for the present year will follow from the diminished quantity of bour bon and rye whiskies produced in 18S2 , on which the tax will mature during the current fiscal year. Another cause contributing to the reduction of receipts will be the largely increased exportation of spirits in bond , on which , for various reasons , owners cannot pay the tax. Something like 10,000,000 gallons have already been forced abroad during the current calendar year , because of stagnation in the trade and the refusal of congress to ex tend the bonded period. A comparative state ment of the receipts for the fiscal years 1883 and 1884 shows a decrease of $16,041,850 from tobacco ; an increase of $2,036 610 from spirits ; an increase of $1,184,338 from fermented liquors , and a decrease of $10,642,404 from taxes , under the repealed laws and penalties ; making a total decrease of $21,963,305. BKIEFLY TOIJX The national grange opened a session in Nashville on the llth. Proceedings were with closed doors. Gov. Hoadley refuses to order the militia into the Hocking Valley until convinced that the sheriffs have done all in their power and failed. August Taxhorn , a farmer near McPherson , Kansas. set flre to his house , barn and granary and then blew out h s brains with a shotgun. The buildings were destroyed , together with $4,000 in money in the house. Kiernan's agency gives the following as rates to brokers to Chicago : New York Cen- tral and Erie , $11.00 to $11.50 ; West Shore , $12.00 ; Lackawanna , $14.50. The New York * Central is expected to make a further reduc tion. r tion.Wolf Wolf Bros. , wholesale dealers of hats and caps , Chicago , confessed judgment for a total flc amount of $50,000 and the place is closed by fld the sheriff. Liabilities estimated at $105.000 ; flI assets $115,000 , of which § 30,000 is in outstand a ing accounts. I In the case of Ah Ky , the Chinaman arranged - c ranged at Albany , N. Y. , for the murder of a Wee Kee , the jury found a verdict of manslaughter - slaughter in the third degree. Justice Peck ham sentenced the prisoner to twenty years at hard labor in Clinton prison. Police Officer Michael Ryan , St. Louis , made a desperate attempt to kill his wife the other night and the probabilities are that the woman will die. The circumstances show that the policeman , in a fit of rage , drew his knife and plunged it into his wife's abdomen. Maggie Quinlan , residing near Sinsinawa Mound , Wis. , committed suicide by shooting herself with a revolver. Ill health is supposed to have been the cause of the rash act. She had recently returned from Montana , where 1 she had been to recover her health. A reporter interviewed fifteen manufactur co ct ers in the largest manufacturing towns of f o northern New York on the effect of politics in their Industry. Republicans and democrats agreed that the election of Cleveland would have little effect on any of the manufacturing industries. Secretary Teller , upon the order of the su preme court of the District of Columbia , directed Colonel Burnside , late disbursing clerk of the postoffice department , now under Indictment for embezzling government funds , to be placed in the government insane asylum at Washington. Rev. James McLcocl , pastor of the Second Presbyterian church of Indianapolis and who formerly occupied the pulpit of the PresbyterIan - Ian church at Buffalo , New York , says he has on good authority that Governor Cleveland wll. shortly be united in marriage to a young lady of Buffalo. " ! Robert Stundring and wife were discovered dead in their house on their ranch , seven miles from Pine Grove , n small station on the South Park ( Col. ) road. The circumstances Indicate murder for money. Stundring was one of Colorado's pioneers , wealthy and widely known. He was an ordained preacher > the anti-polygamy branch of the Mormon > church. FOREIGN NOTES. The tribunal has condemned Patti to pay re the costs of her divorce suit. st " ' President Grevy has issued a decree stating J that the Universal exhibition in Paris wil open May 5,1889. In the house of commons Hartington , sccro tary of war , moved an appropriation of one million pounds for the Nile expedition. The Swiss government forbids railway cars from Paris to cross tho-frontlor until the pas scngers have been subjected to a thorough medical inspection. The minister of foreign affairs has an nounccd the conclusion of the treaty of commerce merco between America and the Spanish Wcs Indies. A few unimportant questions per tainlng to sugar and cereals are still open , bu they are not likely to interfere with the Una adoption of the treaty. The celebration at London of the chtranc to office of the now lord mayor took place on the 10th. The streets through which the pro cession passed were thronged with enormou crowds. A fine display was made by the varl ous ancient guilds. Among the most prom ! nent features of the procession were severa Nile boats fully manned , a herd of camel with Soudanese attendants and a drove o elephants. Great excitement prevailed in the lobbies o the French chambers owing to thoconflrma tion of the report published In the Libert- - that the cabinet council on Saturday decided to lorego demanding Indemnity from China Much discontent prevails on account of this in the Tonquin committee of the chamber o deputies. Charreau , chairman of the com mittcc , has resigned , and the committee has resolved to postpone presentingits report un til Ferry has made an explanation. POLITICAL NOTES. Elaine's plurality in Pennsylvania Is abou 80,030. The official vote of Mississippi is Cleveland 78,437 , Elaine 42,774. Late , but incomplete figures place the Firs congressional district of California in doubt Corothers , republican , leads by 120. The official vote of the state of Delaware gives Cleveland 17,054 , BInino 12,778 , St. John 53 , Butler 6. The temperance legislative vote Is 1,319. Monsignor Capcl delivered before the Young Men's Hebrew club at New York an abridg meut of his address on "Patriotism" as given at the cathedral. In the course of his re marks he said it was a bad side of our election that it showed our attempts to pull down the character of men who were tp rule us. The election is still doubtful in Washington territory , but the chances favor Voorhees democrat , for delcsrate to congress. The onlj issue between the parties was that of rail roads. The democrats and disaffected repub licans demanded the forfeiture of the lam grant which lapsed over seven years ago Voorhees' estimated majority is about 3,000. The present estimate as to the complexion of the Illinois state legislature Is that it wll | be a tie on joint ballot , the senate having a majority of one republican , and the house a majority of one democrat. Contests are like ly to ensue in three districts , which may re verse this condition of affairs. The situation is made more interesting from the fact that a successor to Gen. Logan is to be selected. Forty-three of the eighty counties in Michi gan report official Blalne pluralities of 13,333 and fusion pluralities of 6,370. The remain ing counties are evenly divided between the fusionists and republicans. The plurality given in figures so far reported will be cut down to between 4,000 and 5,000. The con gressional delegation stands seven f uslonisffi and one republican. CRIMINAL. Charles R. Parker , cashier of the Fifth ave nue hotel , New York , shot and killed himself.

He was trusted implicitly by jewelers of that city. His custom was to request a loan of diamonds , which he said he could sell at good advantage. STAyjIXG OF THE ARMY. As Set Forl/i in the Annual Report of Lieut.- Gen. Sheridan. The annual report of Lieutentmt General Sheridan has been made , covering the period from his assignment to the command of the army , November 1st , 18S3 , to November 1st , 1884. He says during this time the entire tcr- l ritorj' under the supervision of troops has been unusually f ice from collisions , resulting in loss of either h'fe or property , but the ser vices of the military In the west cannot bo safely dispensed with for many years to come. he lieutenant general expresses great inter est in the national guard of the stites , and tb-nks congress should designate the number of men each state should have , and provide for them arms and camps and garrison equl- pnge , under some wise method of accounta bility for this property , whenever the state governments themselves appropriate substan tial sums of money for the support of their respective military systems , in such a man ner that these sums cannot be effected by party legislation. Excepting- our ocean commerce and for our seaboard cities , ho does not think we should be much alarmed about the probability of wars with foreign powers , since it would require more than a a million and a half of men to make a cam paign upon land against us. To transport from beyond the ocean that number of sM- 1 diers , with all their munitions of war. their cavalry , artillery and infantry , even if not molested by us whilst in transit , would de mand a large part of the shipping of all Eu 2 rope. He earnestly invites immediate atten tion to the defenceless condition of the sea 4 board citieH , and urgently recommends the early beginning of a general system of sea coast fortifications to be constructed in ac cordance with the requirements involved by the latest Improvements in heavy artillery. 9 "This nationhe says , "Is growing so rapidly hat there are signs of other troubles which I lope will not occur , and which will probably 12 not come upon us if both capital and labor 3 will only be conservative , still , it should uo 4 remembered that destructive e.xplo ives are easily made , and that banks , the United States sub-treasuries , public buildings and largo 1 mercantile hi uses can be readily demolished md the co" merce of entire cities destroyed I y infuriated people with means carried with 2 erfect safety in the pockets of their cloth 3 ing. " 4 A man at "White Lake , N. Y. , was 1 rendered blind and helpless by being 2 stung by a hornet at the base of the 3 .0 4 'ram. 5 COXGREBS.

Adopt'ed. The committee on resolutions presented an extended report- on the question of fercinjr ranges on government land. It set forth that j , the obtaining of permanent tenure on these . f lands in some legal form Is of the greatest 3 importance to the future of stock ra sing ; f that these lands are largely unfit for agricul- _ , S ture and not reclaimable by irrigation on ac- , t count of the broken surface and lack of runr ning streams ; that Colorado and Wyoming- 9 stockmen have two hundred millions invested > ' In the business , adding to the taxable wealth 2 of the country and lowerlnfrthc price of beef ; " that they would welcome the opportunity to * buy or rent these lands for a term of years ; that a committee to go to Washington to sug gest stock legislation be Instructed to en- , dcavor to secure the passage of a law permuting - > muting rental to owners who are actual occupants - . pants of grazing lands between the Missouri river and the Pacific coast for the longest ' period possible , at the lowest obtainable rate such rental not to interrupt or suspend the operation of existing laws for pre-emption or homestead , the rentals being subject to such entries.
