ZEASIXG OF STATE I.AND.
Lincoln special to the Omaha Herald :
One of the unforseen contingencies which
frequently arise in the management of bus
iness dependent unon legislative appropria
tions has come up to clog somewhat tho
appraising and leasing of the state's school
lands. Under the present law the appraise
ment is made by the county commission
ers , and they are paid out of a special
school fund appropriation from the gen
eral fund. They are allowed 53 a day and
their expenses. The appraisement of lands
2n the new counties , many of which are
'very large and have no railroad facilities ,
is quite expensive , and the fund has been
exhausted. A few days ago the commis
sioners of Dawes county finished their
vork in that county and brought in their
trills with an intemieed account , showing
where the work had actually cost them
$800 each. They of course expected to be
paid that sum as soon as the work was
completed , but they were so long about
it that the fund which was on hand
when they began was exhausted by the
time they finished. The.ro is no way of
Jorcing the county commissioners to this
work , and if they feel so disposed they can
put it off indefinitely. It would be a very
unsafe thing for them to do , however , if
they value their standing in their respec
tive communities. The commissioners of
Cheyenne county were notified several
months ago that they were expected to
proceed at once to the appraisement of the
lands in that county , and were given the
list of lands to be appraised , but as yet
nothing whatever has been done by them.
Cheyenne county is a large county , it is
true , but that furnished only a stronger
Te.Hson for beginning the appraisement
promptly. There is a good deal of com
plaint about the remissne&s of the commis
sioners of that county. The commission
ers of Cherry county have sent in their re
turns on the appraisement of the school
lands in that county , but they have not
yet been approved by the board. The sale
of school land in Dawes and Box Butte
counties will bo ordered when the new
county of Box Butte shall have been or-
tanized.
THE SPOTTER SPOTTED.
"The weather getting a bit cold reminds
me of a story I heard out west the other
day , " said a drummer. "For a long time
the conductors , both passenger and freight ,
runnining between Omaha and Lincoln ,
! Neb. , have been bothered by spotters. A
favorite method with the spotter was to
climb aboard a freight train on a cold ,
stormy night and beg to be carried free to
a. certain station , telling tales of hard luck ,
sickness and so on , to play on the condnc-
toor's sympathies. Of course , if a conduc
tor happened to be kind enough to do the
3nan a favor he was promp tly reported
nnd bounced. The boys had so much
trouble in this way that they swore ven
geance , and one cold night mat winter ,
when a spotter , disguised as a tramp , got
atioard a freight train at Ashland and
Tjegsjed for a ride to Plattsmouth , the con
ductor told him he might ride. So the
tramp snuggled down into a seat near the
stove in the caboose , while the conductor
and brakeman were putting tlieir heads to
gether , concocting a scheme for revenge.
Jown between Oreapolisaud Plattsmouth ,
-where there are some very deep gulches by
the side of the track , the conductor gave
the tramp a lively punch in the ribs and
told him that he would have to go on top
of the cars for the rest of the journey ,
as he would get the conductor into
trouble by remaining in the caboose when
the train entered Plattsmouth. The tramp
liad no sooner climbed to the top of the
cars than the conductorand his men seized
him and threw him from the train , flinging
him into a gulch about , thirty feet deep. In
the gulch was about fifteen feet of snow ,
and the unfortunate man was buried out
of sight in the mass , but not hurt. The
trainmen knew the fellow wouldn't be in
jured , and they supposed that he would in
fiome way manage to climb out of the
gulch and walk to shelter. Imagine their
surprise on returning next day to see the
spotter still there , securely imprisoned by
the great'walls of snow rising on all sides
of him , and through which he had vainly
attempted to force his way. The train
l > oys threw him a couple of old blankets
and the remains of their lunches , but they
didn't help him out. In fact the story was
told me by a reliable man who was then
Tunning a freight there , the luckless spotter
"was kept in that prison for ten days , feed
ing ail that time on scraps of lunches
thrown him by the train men as they ,
-whizzed by , howling and dancing with
delight. At the end of ten days the fellow
narrowly escaped drowning in a sudden
thaw , and came out of the seige weighing
about fifty pounds less than when he in-
-voluntarily began it. I'll wnger that he
neveragain hired out as a railroad spotter. "

THE board of educational lands nnd
Funds has decided to put no school lands
on the market until after April 1. This
order has been made because it is matter
of much difficulty for the commissioner of
public lands and buildings to attend sales
in the new counties in the winter , and be-
: ause the sales themselves are so poorly
ittended in that season as to work seri-
Dusly against the interests of the state.
Besides these reasons is the fact that the
appropriation for paying the county com-
iiissioners for appraising the land is ex-
lausted.
THE appraisement of the Cheyenne county
school lands has been approved by the'

LINCOLN specicil : A gentleman who came
in from Liberty this morning tells of a
clever arrest which wos made there Satur
day night. Some months ago a Mr. J. P.
Sheldon , living about a mile from Liberty ,
had several stacks of grain burned. The
fire was incendiary beyond a doubt , but it
seemed impossible to fix the crime upon
anyone. A detective who figures under the
name of Williams was finally induced to
take hold of it and he scon fixed upon a
man named Joe Palmer as the guilty party.
He succeeded in working himself into
Palmer's confidence , and finally , so our
informant says , employed him at § 150 a
month to steal horses for the James gang.
He told him , however , that as a kind of
certificate of character he would have to do
something that would show his nerve , if
he had never done anything of the kind.
Palmer then poured into the detective's
ear , and allowed it to slop over into the
ears of two confederates of the detective , a
confession of how hehad gratified his thirst
for revenge against Sheldon by setting his
grain stacks on fire. As soon as his con
fession was completed he was arrested and
put into durance vile.
A HASTINGS special says that during
Saturday night and presumably while tho
high school building was burning , the
store and office of E. Finisterer ,
a pawn broker and dealer in sec1
ond-hand goods , was entered , the safe
blown open and money and jewelry to the
amount of § 700 stolen. Up to this writing
no clue has been obtained and the chances
are that the thieves will get away with
their plunder.
THE newspaper men of Lincoln held a

for eighty acres of land lying northeast of
the city. On thn 25th he sold the land to
John R. Clark and J. D. Macfarland for
$10,000. On that same day they sold
twenty acres of the piece to May Jansen
ior § 8.000 , and sold the remaining sixty
acres to William II. Irwin ! or § 12,000.

EX-PRESIDEXT ARTHUR DEAD.
Cerebral Apopltxy theltfalaily Which Finally
Carried Ilhn Off.
NEwYomc , Nov. 18. Ex-President Ar
thur died at 5 o'clock this morning.
The noxrs of tho death came aa a great
surprise , notwithstanding the alarming ru
mors as to his health during tho summer
months. The supposed improvement in
liia condition noted during his stay in New
London , Conn. , and tho apparent confi
dence expressed by friends who remained
close to him , created tho impression that
his health had been radically improved ,
giving him a promise of a renewed lease of
life. His disease was ono affecting tho kid
neys , and those nearest him had no faith
in his permanent recovery , but his sudden
demise was not spoken of. He began to
sink rapidly shortly after midnight , andby
3 o'clock it was known that death waa ap
proaching. He passed away without ap
parent pain. His death was unexpected ,
it not being supposed outside of hTs houso
that ho was in any immediate danger.
As soon as the news of Arthur's death
was made public many flags on public and
private buildings were placed at half mast.
Arthur had lived at 123 Lexington ave
nue for twenty 3'ears or more. A stroke of
cerebral apoplexy , sudden , but not wholly
unexpected by attending physicians , ter
minated his life. The stroke came in hia
sleep between Tuesday night and Wednes
day morning , and he did not rally there
after. His death was painless , and for
hours before the end came he was uncon
scious.
His son and daughter , his sister , his for
mer law partner. Sherman W. Knevals ,
and Surrogate Rollins were at his bedside.
On his return from New London six months
ago his health was no better than when ho
left the city. As time passed no perma
nent impiovement came , and the physi
cians feared some such sudden stroke as
the one to which he succumbed. With tho
beginning of tho present week a marked
change for the better set in. At 8 o'clock
yesterday morning his attendant found
Arthur lying on his side , breathing heavily ,
and could not arou&e him. Tr. George A.
Peters , his physician , who was summoned
at once , said he was sufferingfrom a stroke
of cerebral apoplexy. A small blood vessel
in the brain hnd been bursted and paral
ysis of the right side ensued. No efforts
were spared to bring the patient back to
consciousness. They were all failures.
Arthur hi } ' motionless and speechless all
day , and hist night at G o'clock the en
feebled pulse , more difficult respiration and
other signs of physical failure indicated to
the physicians thnt the end was drawing
near. The chingc for the worse came on
rapidly , and hi5 ? sisters and children gath
ered at his bedside. Dr. William A. Val-
lentine and Surrogate llollins stayed with
him during the night.
Arthur's strength ebbed out slowly and
with it his life. It was 3 o'clock when tho
end came. He had been entirely senseless
for hours and died without a struggle. Ha
was 5G years old.
HIGH PEtlSOXAL , ESTEEM.
Washington dispatch : Attorney General
Garland said he had known ex-President
Aithur intimately , and had every reason
to esteem him both as a friend and as a
public oflicial. Arthur occupied a very try
ing position as president , entering the
white house as he did during the political
excitement which followed the death of
President Garfield , and his administration
was marked by ability of a high order.
Secretary Lamar said that Arthur's
death will touch the hearts of many peo
ple with grief. Called to tho presidency
under the most painful and trying circum
stances , he bore his honors with dignity
and administered the executive depart
ment of the government in a manner that
was just to all sections. He wns highly
esteemed and especially liked by the south
ern senators and repres < Mitalives.
Postmaster-General Vilas said that Ar
thur's administration of the government
had commended him very strongly to the
respect of the people , and especially con
sidering the very trying circumstances un
der which he took oflice. His administra
tion might be called remarkably successful.
No instance of the manner in which he per
formed the duties of the office of president
in the previous history of the country offers
a more commendatory record.
Secrel'arv Whitney said : "I knew and
esteemed President Arthur very highly-long
before ho became president. I deemed him
a much abler man than was hia repute
when he was placed upon the ticket. I re
gret his death personally , for he was the
most genial of gentlemen , and leaves alargo
circle of friends who will be filled with re
gret. "
THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION .
In iiis proclamation the president snya :
"Jfr. Arthur was called to the chair of the
chief magistracy of the union by a tragedy
which cast a shadow over the entire gov
ernment. His assumption of the grave
[ Inties was marked by .in evident and con
scientious sense of his responsibilities and
an earnest desire to meet them in a patri
otic and benevolent spirit. With dignity
and ability ho sustained the important
Juties of his station and reputation. "

who-
Washington special : Dakotaians
liave been in Washington sinte tlieir recent
elections have expressed the belief that the-
territory will soon be divided. ' and that at
| least the southern half admitted to state
hood. They look upon tliu vote cast in all
parts of Dakota as the strongest possible-
evidence ol an almostuniversal desire lor
division and statehood , and say it will now
be aii ahsolnte waste of timeto have an-
election to determine any question relating
to statehood , as the issues woro so
definitely drawn in the reenb canvass-
as to make the wish of the people plaii >
to anybody. Wherever opponents ot
division arid statehood were candidates-
they were overwhelmingly defeated by-
friends of the cause. Governor Tierceof
Dakota , has been in tho city for u few
days , consulting the president and other
oflifiuls about affair * of his dominion , anil
to your correspondent expressed the beliel
that Dakota will prevail in-the house and
her cause be favored assoon as the measure
can be Riven a fair hearing. Although
Governor Tierce lives in the locality be r
ing the most ardent opposition to be-
found against division and statehood he
is an advocate of both propositions and
believes tho wish of the people as expressed
on the 2il hist , at the polls ought to be
recognized. IIu is inclined to the beliel
that the proposition will not now find
such stern democratic opposition as it haa
encountered in the past.
A PLEASANT INCIDENT ABOUT AIZTIICir.
"I once saw President Arthur do a very
neat thing , " said an officer of the govern
ment to-day. "It was at one of hisday re

ple went into it through the room occu
pied by the president's private secretary , .
and came out through the entrance to the
president's room , in the line one after
noon were two pretty young ladies. They
were evidently much embarrassed. When
they reached the president they looked up >
shyly and were going past without shaking
hands with him. Such was their embar
rassment that the president put out his
hand and detained them , saying : 'lean
nob allow two such charming ladies to
leave without shaking hands with them. *
The young ladies blushed and passed the
usual greetings. The president chatted j
with them for several minutes , putting
them perfectly at their ease. Two happy
young ladies went out of the white housa
that afternoon. "
