The late Charlotte Wolf was , after
the marriage of the Baroness Burdett-
Coutts , perhaps the richest spinster in
the world. She leaves $000,000 , it is
said , to be expended , under the direction
of Bishop Potter , in the erection ot au
Episcopal cathedral , thus following the
example of the late A. T Stewart. She
is therefore even with Stewart on cathe
drals , and far ahead of himiu the gen
eral run ot good deeds , for which she
was noted. It can be said by the fair
sex that their wealthy representatives
j make a better use ot their money than
I do the Hch. men , all things considered.
The defense in the Haddock murder
trial at Sioux City appears to have struck
a rocky path very early in its journey :
On Saturday a man named Gr. W. Smith
did the lying for it. He is a harness
maker by trade. At the time of the
murder he was sick at his room in the
Columbia house. When the shooting
occurred he was lying by a window
looking out upon the street. He saw
Haddock start east from the corner on
which the hash foundry is located.
"When two-third * of the way across the
street Smith saw another man start from
the opposite side. This man met Had
dock , and after passing him a few feet
turned and shot him dead. The mur
derer was not John Arensdorf , either ,
butLeavitt , the one who first confessed
all he kuew concerning the crime. The
witness , Smith , swore positively as to
the identity of Leavitt , notwithstand
ing the facts that the time was at or
near 10 o'clock on a dark and rainy
I night , and that the scene as presented
to him if it was presented to him
was from a distance of some eighty or
one hundred feet. He swears to the \
color of hat and the kind of coat and
pants worn by the assassin. All with
the reckless abandon of a man well paid \
for the work. Touching the testimony
and that brought forward on the same
the character of Leavitt
day to prove , j
the Sioux City Journal for Sunday says
editorially : * 'The evidence in behalf
of the moral character of Leavitt it j
would be difficult to impeach. The evi-
dence that he did the shooting is not
I at all convincing. Hardly anything i
* could be more remarkable than that the
| witness , Smith. lying at an open window
\ in the Columbia house on the unhappy t
; nightshould have seen so much and said ]
so little , until now. The story of the *
t witnets is disingenuous is deficient in
1 the conditions of probability. " 1 opice.

OUR LATE LEGISLATURE.
Below we append 'v few opinions
from the daily press of the state con
cerning our late lamented legislature.
Their dissimilitude is probably their
most prominent characteristic :
• • Whe.v L was iu the legislature , "
will be a favorite saying with a good
many ex-members of the house from
this time forth. And with most of
them there will be no "first time" or
"second time , " or any but the one time
to talk about. They have played their
parts as legislators , with few excep
tions , once and for all. Topics.
The lobby goes too. It is the bold
est , awkwardest , most unblushing gang
that ever infested the capitol. Such a
collection of mugs and bodies and minds
has never been thrust upon a Buffering
community since man learned to wear
clothes. A harder crowd of moral ma
rauders never ravaged the virginal
meadows of a budding legislature.
Hard ? did you inquire. Pluto would
reject 'em as paving material on ac
count of their being to flinty to work
with any resources at his command.
J. D. C.
At the final wind up almost every
body connected with the Legislature re
ceived some testimonial or was voted
something , from a worn chain or a
stand of colors to a diamond pin or a
gold watch. The plundering and gift-
making was all but unanimous , and had
Senator Schurinke ' s resolution passed
voting to the members the furniture
used during the session , the thing
would have been complete. As it is
there is but little more than the four
walls of the capitol left to the state.
"Sherman ' s bummers" were not half as
devastating as the Nebraska Legisla
ture. Herald.
The legislature of 'S7 had an unusu
al supply of vigorous and bright mind
ed young men who are bound to take
leading positions in the politics of the
state. It had likewise an unusual quota
of inexperienced members who were
somewhat awkward until they had learn
ed the ropes of legislation and who nat
urally enough obstructed the progress
of legislation a good deal while they
were being broken to harness. The
Journal hopes that a good many of the
young men of both houses will be sent
back two years hence to complete their
education and give the people the ben
efit of the preliminary training they had
during the past three months. Upon
the whole the legislature has made an
excellent record. It is as yet too early
to say that it has made no serious mis
take , but so far as we know it has per
petrated fewer blunders than most of
its predecessors. The majority of the
members were free from hide bound
prejudice against giving the young com
monwealth clothes according to her ex
traordinary growth and were in favor of
making liberal provision for the necessi
ties of the next two years of prosperity.
The Journal cherishes the kindest wishes
for the retiring law makers. Journal.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
IlKr.EK A. Davis , Lovkm * Clyde ,
Editor. Assistant
The first public library in America was
founded in New York iu 1700.
There has been established in Cincinnati a
college for the exclusive education of women
in medicine.
One hundred and fifty of the three hun
dred and sixty-five colleges in this country
publish papers.
The school entertainment , last Friday
evening , was well attended , and we hope
gave satisfaction.
Leyden University , in Holland , is the
richest in the world. Its real estate alone is
said to be worth § 4,000,000.
A Washington paper says that Colonel
Lamont , President Cleveland's private sec
retary , denies that the President's health is
failing.
J. A. Bostwick , of New York , lias present
ed the Wake Forest College in North Caro
lina , with 550,000 , in addition to $20,000 giv
en some time ago.
At Cornell University , Sy.OOO have been
raised , chielly by the students , to erect a
Christian Association building. It is the
largest college association of the kind in the
world.
John G. Saxe , the famous poet and lectur
er , died at his home in Newbury , N. Y. ,
Marcli 31st. He has lived in retirement for a
number of years. Ho was 71 years old.
General Wallace never saw Syria until af
ter "Ben-Hur" was completed. He prepar
ed for the work by reading books of history ,
travel , manner and customs ; talked with
friends who had seen the country , and wrote
with a large map of it hanging on the wall
before him.
We take the following from the State
Journal :
New Yoiik , April 1. A Washington spec"
ial to the Post , says : "A gentleman in this
city who has had a special interest in the
condition of ex-Secretary Manning's health
has received personal advices from England
confirming the worst reports yet published.
His informant asserts that the ex-Secretary
was not only not improved by his voyage ,
but decidedly worse to-day than he was be
fore he sailedworse even than when lie land
ed in England. His friends have little hope
of his recovery.
The following lines were cut from a paper
some years ago. We do not know the au
thor's name but think they deserve a place
in an educational column :
X TEACUKll'S DItEAM.
" "Jwas Saturday night , and a teacher sat
Alone , her task pursuing : ;
She averaged this and she averaged that
Of all her class were doing- ;
She reckoned percentage , so many boys ,
And so many girls all counted ,
And marked all the tardy and absentees ,
And to what all the absence amounted.
"Names and residence wrote in full ,
Over many columns and pages ;
Yankee , Teutonic , African , Celt ,
And averaged all their ages ;
The dute of admission of every one ,
And cases of Uagellation ,
And prepared a list of the graduates
For the coming examination.
"Her weary head sank low on her book ,
And her weary heart still lower ,
For some of her pupils had little brain.
And she could not furnish more.
She slept , she dreamed ; it seemed she died ,
And her spirit went to Hades ,
And they met her there with a question fair ,
"State what the per cont. of your grade is. "
"Ages had slowly rolled away.
Leaving but partial traces ,
And the teacher's spirit walked one day
In the old familiar places.
A mound of fossilized school reports
Attracted her observation.
As high as the Stato House dome , and as wide
As Hoston and annexation.
"She came to the spot where they buried her
bones ,
And the ground was well built over ,
But laborers digging threw out a skull
Once planted beneath the clover.
A disciple of Galen wandering by ,
Paused to look at the diggers ,
And plucking the skull up , looked thro' the
eye.
And saw it was lined with figures.
"Just as I thought , " said the young M. D. ,
How easy it is to kill 'em-
Statistics ossified every fold ,
Of cerebrum and cerebellum :
"It's a curiosity , sure , " said Pat ,
"By the bones can you tell the creature ? "
"Oh , nothing strange , " said the doctor , "that
Was a nineteenth century teacher. "
A DENIAL.
o
Editok Tiubuxe :
It would appear fiom the columns of the
McCook Democrat that I am a candidate for
special agent for public lands , the office
which George B. Coburn now holds. The
editor of that paper says : "If we are relia
bly informed , Andrew P. Leech , who was
once a candidate for register of this land of
fice , is now imploring the powers that be for
an appointment to the position now occu
pied by Geo. B. Cobnni that of special
agent of the land department" I have this
to say , that I am not now , nor have I been
at any time , a candidate for any other gov
ernment appointment. I will however an
nounce , for the benefit of the mugwump edi
tor of the Democrat that I have grave doubts
as to whether he has ever been at any timet
re-lie-ably informed concerning this matter ,
but am disposed to think that sucli informa
tion is but the unkind result of an addled
brain , arising from political nightmare , a
disease Mr. Wahlquist has been so much
troubled with since lesiding in McCook. We
advise him to confine his energies more
closely to the care and kind keeping of "Ike"
and "I , " and the city business in future , and ;
permit democrats , who have a better abstract <
of title as such , and a more respectable rec- :
ord than he to pass in peace.
