LANCASREn county is one of the counties -

its portion of the tax that helps swell
the state school apportionment That
is one of the reasons why Lancaster

of the pot than it did when the previous
semi annual dividend was declared.
The June apportionment gave the
county $15,949.94 , while the December
apportionment gives it only $11,304.63.

A STACK containing thirty tons of hay
belonging to Charles Vandecenter , who

last week. The hay was so remote
from the railway tracks that to ascribe

question. The blaze was doubtless of
incendiary orgin. Mr. \ andeventer is

STA'rE SUPERINTENDEXr GOUDT completed -
pleted the state school apportionment
yesterday. As stated in yesterday's
Journal the total amount is $ ° 15,059.0 ° ,
the rate petr scholar being : ; 9 cents.
T he June apportionment was 5S04,139
or about one-third more. The total is
the aggregate of accumulations from
all sources. Apart of it is derived
from two new sources. Under the state
depository law the sum of $ ° ,4 , . Comes
fr om interest on state deposits. The
other new source is general fund war-
rants. The last legislature authorized
the investment of the permanent school
fund in general fund warrants. This
was attempted by the state board , but
the supreme court decided that the
board could not compel persons to surrender -
render the warrants. Many persons
voluntarily turned in their warrants ,
received cash from the school fund and
the warrants were held as an investment -
ment by the state. Interest on these
warrants amounting to $820 is now to
be apportioned among the counties for
school purposes.

Under the biennial period ending November -

$ G6 , . 3S.5i : for the temporary school
fund , as against $335,49.5.iD for the bi-
enium ending November 30 , 2S9 ° , have
been collected and entered of record in
e commissioner's office. He has also
collected $3S0,700.14 ueloniring to the
permanent school fund. The board of

Tile state derives no revenue from the so
maining few tracts of penitentiary ]
lands in Lancaster and Seward coun-
, and the commissioner recommends
such legislation as will authorize the
commissioner to lease or sell as in the
case of school lands.

appraisement of school land was
ade in 1SS9. ThiS fixes revenues from
lease on a basis of values given to ] ands
a appraisement in 155 ; and prior H
thereto , and in a majority of cases the
values then fixed were very ] ow. The
commissioner therefore asks for an appropriation -

The Grand Total of Porsotis Under Iii-

10,886-It Is Considered Inexpedient -

Statement Concerning the
Turkish iassaeres.
BOSTON , Dec. 18.-The American
board of cotnmissinnets for foreign
missions , more than any other mis-
si onary organization in America , centralizes
tralizes its work in behalf of Armenians -
ians in Asiatic Turkey. Its Western
Turkey mission began in 1319 , its
Eastern Turkish mission in 1536 and
its Central Turkey mission in 1547.
These three missions comprise fifteen
stations , ' 'GS out stations , 45 missionaries -
aries , 1 medical missionary } n Eastern
' 1'tuhev , 42 married women and "r3
unmarried women ; in fact it employs -
ploys 791 native laborers. These
laborers occupy 299 places for
stated preaching , secure average
congregations of 30,717 persons. 't'he
Sabbath schools number 26z64. The
adherents are estimated at 46,864.
' ! 'here are 112 churches with a membership -
bership of : ] ,4S1 , of which 438 were
received within a year. 't'he echlca-
tional ttorl : is extensive. 't'here are
four theological schools , ' : ) theological -
cal students. 31 colleges , high and
boarding schools for hors , ' 0 col-
le ges , high and boarding schools for
girls. There are 37 ° Common schools ,
containing 1GS33 pupils. There are
1,561 ethers under instructions. 't'he
g rAns total of persons under instruc
lions consists of 19,5SG persons.
The contributions of the natives
last year to the American board
amounted to $31:55. 't'hese facts do
not include the stork in European
Turkey. Numerous inquiries have
been received from the press from
the congregational constituency in
the United States which has iodated
this conservative organization to
furnish the following statement relating -
lating to "Affairs in Turkey. "
1Ve are not unconcerned about
the report of the massacre in Eastern
Turkey. t'he position of the I77 missionaries -
sionaries of the American board with-
in the Turkish empire is an extreme-
ly delicate one. Sympathizing deeply
on the one side tvitli all who are suffering -
fering by reason of poverty , op-
p ression and misrule , they have yet
been loyal to the government under
w hich they have lives } and have never
countenanced sedition of rebellion.
"It has been their blessed privilege
trimle } preaching the gospel of Jesus
Christ , to aid the poor , to protect as
far as possible the oppressed , and to
deliver from unjust officials multitudes -
tudes who have been arrested or im-
prisoned. It is not necessary for our
missionaries , after these scores of
years of devotion and devoted labor
for the native race of Turkey ,
to prove their sympathy tvitli
the suffering and oppressed by
joining others who , at a safe distance
from the scene of danger are passing
rigorous resolutions in condemnation
of the wrongs inflicted , They are
doing their best amid no. little peril
to themselves , in the interestof those
for whom they have long laboredbut
out readers can well understand that
for the sake , both of the helpers and
of the helped , it is inexpedient for us
to present a full slat ° in nt of all tt e
hear and believe.
"These stories of wrong and oppression -
pression have aroused the civilized
w orld. 11 a are glad to learn our gov-
er nment has directed one of its con-
su ls to make an independent investigation -
gation of all matters connected with
the reported massacre. But our government -
ernment does not stand in the same
re lation to'1'luk. } as do the European
powers , that , under the treaty of
erlin , secured the right of seeing of
at good government was maintained
throughout the Turkish empire. 't'he
right tints guaranteed ought now to
be exercised , and the first steps K
should be the most thorough investiW
gation as to the .conduct of affairs W
throughout lrmenia. We can not
doubt. that the European powers till
attend to their duty. The winter is
not a favorable time for visiting of

BLOOMINGTON , Ill. , Dec. 18.-The
rigid enforcement by the Chicago S :
Alton management of the recently
adopted regulations in regard to the
use of intoxicating liquor and gambling -
bling by employes of that corporation
is raising a goon deal of contention
a mong the servants of the company
and is likely to prove far-reaching in
its consequence. The rule , which ap-
peared in the last issue of the cornf
pane's time card , reads as follotvs
"Any conductor , train man , engineer -
neer , fireman , switchman or other
employe who is known to use intoxin
catingliquors or to frequent gambling
places or other places of low resort ,
eitherr while on or off duty , will be

notification that they had been seen

A IAN7 I HEART.
ONE DISEASE THAT BAFFLES
THE PHYSICIAN.
The Story of n 1Paman Who Suffered
for Nine Years-How She Was Cured.
( From the Newark , N. J. , Evening News. )
Valvular disease of the heart has always
been considered incurable. The following
in terview , therefore , will interest the medial -
c al profession since it describes thesuccess-
f ul use of a nettw treatment for this disease.
T he patient is Mrs. Geo. Archer of Clifton ,
\ , J. , and this publication by the News is
the first mention made of the case by any
uotvspaner. All physicians consulted pro-
n ounced the patient suffering with valvu-
la r disease of the heart , and treated her
tiwitiloutthe slightest relief. Mrs. Archer
said : "I could not stalk across the floor ;
neither could I go up stairs without stop-
pin ; to let the pain in my chest and left
arm cease. I felt an awful constriction
about my arm and chest as though 1 were
tied with ropes. Then there was a terrible
noise at my right ear , like the labored
breathing of some great animal. I have
often turned expecting to scesome creature

N ovember 5 last I bought a box and bean
taking them , and I have taken them ever
since , except for a short interval. 1'hc
first box did not seem to bcnelit me , but I
p ersevered , encouraged by the requests of
my relatives. After beginning on the second -
end box , to my wonder , lire noise at my

Lower house.
WAS1INGTON [ , Dec. 15.-The house
went into committee of the whole
w ithout , preliminary business to-day
w ith Mr. 'l'arsney of Missouri in time
chair , and resumed consideration of
pension appropriation bill , Mr. Gros-
ve nor of Ohio first delivering a speech
of an hour } n which he criticised the
attitude of the pension office toward
the pensioners and pension claimants -
ants , reviewed the policy of the
office's alleges hostility toward the
soldier and cited many instances of
injustice.
After Mr. Morse of Massachusetts
and Mr. Lacey of Iowa had spoken in
the same strain , Mr. Sickles of New
ork , expressed his disgust with the
frequent recurrence in the president's
message and the report of the secretary -
tary of the interior and the commissioner -
sioner of pensions of charges of fraud
in the pension roll. For the last
time probably before his retirement
otn congress lie desired to defend
iisold comrades from this slander.
With almost 1,000,000 names on the
roll and $150,000,000 disbursed in pensions
sions annually , he declared that the
fraud discovered was utterly insignificant -
cant and should be a subject of self
congratulation to every soldier in the
land.

The friends of this measure naturally -
