Tenia. lodges have been organ
ized in Lancashire, England, and

ty of arms seized.

Very pevere storms visited last
week parts of Wisconsin, Illinois
aud Iowa. From accounts given of
them, they appear to be equal to, if
not more severe than those visiting
Nebraska.
The recent etorms in Illinois and
Iowa exceed in severity any that
have occurred this season. They
were accompauied by very severe
winds, moving at the rate of 63
miles per hour.
The House passed the funding
bill on the 22d inst., without chang
ing its provisions. Many predict
that it will be a short-lived docu
ment sb the President will vote it on
the 3d, which he did.
Up to the 2d inst., the forthcom
ing cabinet proves to be the great
est puzzle of the day to politicians.
No one appears to be able to account
for the fact that Gen. Garfield could
or should keep the secret.
It is said that the losses on the
principal western railroad lines this
winter, in consequence of the unu
sual snow blockades, will more than
equal the net earnings of these lines
for the mouth of January and Feb
ruary. The portrait of Hon. C. H. Van

somewhat, but we take it to be a
youthful picture. Let us have one
up to date.
It is claimed that the arms bill

A recent dispatch from Bismarck
D. T., announces the approach of
what is called a "cheuook," in con
tradistinction from a "blizzard."
The mercury in the regions of cold
in the north west ranges from 40 to
5S degrees above zero, and all the
rivers are open.
. Gen. Colley commander of the
British forces in South Africa, was
killed in a recent battle being shot
through the head. It is understood
(that lien. Roberts will take com
jnand of the army in his place. The
British troop were routed and-three
hundred soldiers killed.
Capitol Appropriation.
No reasoning man much blames the
Iobby-money-makiug men of Lin
coln for U3ing their be3t endeavors
to secure appropriations to be ex
pended in and around Lincoln, be
cause it puts money into their pock
ets in various ways, besides increas
ing the value of what property they
may have there ; one expects always
to see that city and that section
inclined to ask for appropriation
after appropriation, and one expend
iture of the state funds upon the top
of another, because they believe that
the heavier the load is, the more
difficult and impossible it will be to
pick it up and move off with it.
Lancaster county, wherein the capi
tol is situated, is only one county
from the southern, and one from the
eastern line of the state, and it is
little wonder that removal is a bug
bear to them at every meeting of
the legislature, and that the lobby
make the most use of the scare, to
secure money to themselves. It is
notorious, too, that the Lancaster
members are, as a rule, ready to
trade or barter for votes to secure
their own appropriations. This is
considered practical statesmanship.
Mr. Topheavy from a northern or
western district is death -bent on
prohibition, for instance, and is so
enthusiastic that he has lost his head
on mere money considerations and
increased burdens of taxation, and
is willing, nay anxious to vote
against the will of his constituents
to secure a vote for his pet scheme.
An ambitious " local " statesman
wishes to have the honor of securing
an appropriation (say for. the estab
lishment of a normal school) for his
county, aud is hoodwinked into
voting for the capitol appropriation
or being absent on occasion, by
a promise to favor his pet scheme.
Another cares nothing for public or
local considerations, but looks out
for "number one" cash iu hand is
the chief thing with him; he has
sought official place to make money,
aud he purposes utilizing every oc
casion, and so he votes for capitol
appropriation agaiust the known
wish of his constituents. These and
such as these are to be censured
severely for voting money for use
less expenditures, when taxes are
already a grievous burden. Their
action should be remembered, aud
every precaution taken that it shall
uot be repeated in the future.
The 4th of March, inauguration
day at Washington, was a very un
pleasant and disagreeable day, rain
and sleet having commenced the
evening previous aud continued, ac
companied by snow, until about
noou. The vast concourse of people
estimated at forty thousaud, present
to witnoBS the inauguration, were
disgusted with the storm. Then
came the wind which tore the bunt
ing into shreds from the front of the
houses aud public buildings. The
magnificent arches fell oue by one
into the middle of the streets. Even
the telegraph wires were prostrated
and the city was shut out for want
of communication with the outside
world. Everyone united in pro
nouncing the storm the worst which
had occurred within the memory of
the citizens. By the time, however,
for delivering the address, the clouds
bad passed aud the sun shone out
brightly, when General Garfield,
accompanied by President Hayes,
Chief Justice Waitc, Garfield's wife
and mother, and the invited guests
appeared on the platform and were
seated. General Garfield then arose
and delivered his inaugural address
to the immense crowd of people
assembled at the east side of the
capitol building. General Garfield
took the oath of office and the new
senate being in session he sent in the
names selected for his cabinet as
follows : James G. Blaine,of Maine,
secretary of state; Wm. Windom, of
Minnesota, secretary of the treasury ;
Wayne McVeagh, of Pennsylvania,
attorney general ; Thos. L. James, of
New York, postmaster general;
Samuel S. Kirkwood, of Iowa, sec
retary of the interior; Robert T.
Lincoln, of Illinois, secrotar of war;
Wm. U. Hunt, of Louisiana, secre
tary of the navy. They were all
unanimously confirmed by the
senate.
The amendment to the herd law,
which passed the legislature, simply
extends the definition of cultivated
lands within the meaning of the act,
amending section 8 so as to read :
"That cultivated lands, within the
meaning of this act, 6hall include all
forest trees, fruit trees, and hedge
rows planted on said lands; also
lands enclosed by a plowed strip not
less than one rod in width, plowed
once a year." If every farm in Ne
braska is thus enclosed, the protec
tion it will give to grazing and bay
lands will be of immense value to
the owners, "besides operating as one
of the best possible fire guards, aud
thus save annually thousands of dol
lars worth of property. After the
first breaking, it is thought the beet
time to plow will be iu mid-summer
after the weeds have their growth.
The terrific wind and snow storm
that visited Iowa, Illinois and In
diana on the 2d and 3d insts., puts
in the background all other storms
of the season for severity and depth
of snow fall. In Iowa and Indiana
the storm was accompauied by light
ning and heavy thunder. In Indiana
the lightning struck the house of E.
H. Booth, and tore it in pieces, but
none of the family wtre seriously
injured.
Hfew Laws.
Wc give below a brief synopsiB of
some of the new laws that were pas
sed by the Nebraska legislature at
its recent session, which closed, at
midnight on the 26th ult. We are
indebted to the Lincoln Globe for
the abridged form as follows :
The female suffrage aud amend
ment carried through both houses
aud will be submitted to the people.
This is the only constitutional
amendment that was successful.
Railroad legislation was confined
to the taxation of railroad buildings
aud real estate by local assessors,
and a law to prevent discrimination
of rates.
The medical bill became a law.
No change was made iu judicial
districts.
Congressional districts were not
formed and the state will elect three
congressman at-large.
A plowed strip of land a rod wide
makes the tract enclosed "cultivated
land" in the meaning of the law to
recover damage by trespass of stock.
The dog-law, sunflower bill, im
migration bureau, and relief for
counties suffering from drouth, were
voted down.
The militia bill became a law.
Bill for construction of fish-ways
was killed.
$100,000 was appropriated for state
capitol building.
The school law passed but amend
ment permitting each district to
select its own text-books was de
feated. Omaha gets her charter and will
collect taxe.s to pay for Hewers al
ready constructed.
Saline laud bill was defeated.
United States gets title to land
upon which to erect military store
houses at Omaha.
A new building will be erected for
the deaf and dumb asylum at Omaha
aud two new wings will be attached
to the insane asylum, and the reform
school will be put in operation.
General Garfield left Mentor
on the morning of the 28th ult. for
Washington. As many as 3 000 cit
izens had gathered to witness his
departure. Almo3t the entire popu
lation of Mentor were present, as
well as from the neighboring villa
ges, with many visitors from other
towns, friends of the family from
distant cities, and newspaper men,
were all on hand to bid Godspeed to
the President-elect on his journey,
lie made a brief and happy speech
before leaving. Similar gathering
of the people at Ashtabula and
Youugstowu occurred, where brief
speeches were made by Gen. Gar
field, at the latter place to about
5,000 people. The train arrived at
Altoona, Pa., at midnight. It was
the intention of the railroad com
pany to take the train through with
out stopping at any of the principal
citieB along the line of their route.
This train went through Baltimore
and would reach Washington about
leu o'clock in the morning. Later
reports state that Gen. Garfield and
party arrived in Washington at nine
o'clock on the "morning of the 1st,
and all reported well.
Illcli I.iceuNe.
The principal features of the bill
are: A license of $1,000 per year
for each saloon in cities of over 10,
000 people, and $500 in cities of less
10,000 inhabitants ; the saloon-keeper
must give a bond of $5,000, and must
present a petition signed by thirty
free-holders before he can obtain a
license; no bondsman can go upon
more than one bond; no liquor can
be given away ; no screens are to bo
permitted; exceptions are made in
favor of the sale and use of liquor
for medicinal, chemical and scientific
purposes only ; druggists do not
have to take out a license, but are
obliged to keep a very complete
record of all sales. Another law
known as the anti-treatiug bill was
passed. It prohibits one man treat
ing another, and makes it a misde
meanor punishable by fine and
imprisonment. Both of these laws
eo Into effect within ninety days.
Omaha Republican.
Last week the State House of
Minnesota caught fire and is reduced
to ashes. The stampede among the
members was fearful, as both bodies
were in session when the alarm was
given, and when the doors were
opened every department was in
Btantly filled with smoke, which
produced intense excitement among
membera for their safety, but with
few bruises and scratches in clam
boring out of windows and down
ladders and jumping into snow drifts
on the outside, they all happily
escaped from the burning building.
The loss is $100,000.
Another mysterious murder oc
curred in Chicago last week. The
murdered man was a Hebrew named
Lazarus Stern, and when his dead
body was found his hands were tied
in front with a woolen stocking and
bis legs tied near the ankles with a
small cord. The body was covered
with a blanket and a pillow lay over
his face ; several articles were strewn
about the room in disorder. The
deceased had been acting as insu
rance agent, and had been living
alone for some time.
The Omaha Republican ia enti
tled to the bauner for its very com
plete, yet concise reports of legis
lative matters. D. O. Brooks, who
was constant in attendance upon the
sittiug of the legislature, knew just
what was going on, and furnished
his readers with sensible reports.
C'reHlucries.
Within a fow years a now system
of butter-making has sprung up.
Our neighbors in Iowa are reaping
the benefit of it. They have cream
eries. An agent comes around to
the farmers getting the cream and
taking it to the butter factory. Here
butter is made on a large 6cale with
all the modern advantages of ma
chineries, beating and cooling appar
atus and so forth, that on a small
scale at the farm house it is impossi
ble to employ. Some advantages of
this system are the following:
1st. It leaves the skimmed milk
at the farm for the young stock.
2d. Butter on a large scale can be
made cheaper.
3d. It can be sold in large quan
tities where the best market is
while the farmer having only a few
pounds to sell has to take what the
nearest grocer offers in trade.
4tb. It would relieve a little that
noble claBS of our human kind that
is undoubtedly most overburdened
we moan the farmers' good wives,
and leave them a few spare moments
for something higher than common
daily drudgery.
In conclusion, where are the men
in Platte county that would enter
upon such a good work ? Mr. Loug-.
shore has done a good thing by that
rope conceru, who will follow bia
example in the above enterprise?
H. A.
Pleuro Paeunioaia.
Have we any in southwestern
Iowa? the National Livestock Jour
nal asks, aud then answers: West
ern men who so recklessly purchased
the calves that were brought from
eastern dairy districts last seasou,
have not found the transaction bo
very profitable after all. Most of
them were very thin in flesh when
brought west, aud the extreme cold
of the preseut wiuter haB caused
serious mortality among such as
have not been especially well cared
for. Iu some herds the deaths have
been so numerous as to cause appre
hensions that the fatality was the
result of contagious pleuro pneumo
nia. A dispatch in oue of our city
dailieR just issued, coming from
southwestern Iowa, anuounces un
equivocally that the contagious
pleuro pneumonia has actually bro
ken out in that section. It is barely
possible that this may be true, but
it is not at all likely that the party
on whose authority the dispatch is
published ever saw a case of this
disease, or that he could distinguish
betweeu that and ordinary infl-imma-tion
of the lungs. Farmer.
