to all farmers to read the Omaha
Bee and to keep the name of Ed
ward Rosewater before the public

the last." Senator Saunders will
have to keep an eye on his rival.
The polygamy bill was passed on
the 16th in the Senate. The gallery
applauded. The chair expressed
amazement at the noise, but did not

root of the evil, and If strictly en
forced will end in the breaking up
of the abominable system with all
its collateral evils.
The senate on the 15th took up
the judiciary committee bill for the
suppression of polygamy in Utah.
One new section was adopted which
provides that any man cohabiting

opposition to the measure.

ably the bill from the committee on
Indian affairs for the sale of the re
mainder of the reservation of the
Otoe and Missouri tribes in Nebras
ka and Kansas. The main provi

and payment of incidental expenses,
the balance 'of the proceeds to be
placed to the credit of the tribes in
the U. S. treasury and bear 5 per
cent, interest per annum, the income
to be annually expended for their

The Kansas City police frustrated
the contemplated robbery the other
night of the Missouri Pacific train
due iu that city, by the arrest of Jas.

and Peter Specr the other three
persons engaged in the plan to rob
the train, mado good their escape.
Those captnred admit that they in
tended to commit the robbery as

A most shocking murder was com
mitted the other day in Newport,
Ohio, by Elder Harmon, who be
came angered at his Uncle John
Harmon, who is nearly 80 years of
age, and began a brutal assault with
a club, dealing him blow after blow,
crushing his skull and pounding his
face into a jelly. The murderer, who
is only 20 years old, left his victim
and fled the country. He became
angry with his uncle because the
latter charged him with laziness.
It appears that the bottom drop
ped out of the star route cases on
trial at Lincoln last week in the U.
S. district court, principally because
Clary refused to answer questions
on the ground that the answer
might tend to criminate himself, in
which opinion the court concurred,
and said he should not be compelled
to answer. The jury, under instruc
tions, brought in a verdict acquitting
Corbin aud Iddings of conspiracy,
so the indictment against C'ary for
conspiracy goes by the board.
The terrible explosions that oc
curred the other day at Chester, Pa.
dealt out death and destruction
among her citizens at a fearful rate
and by the score. The explosion and
fire destroyed the military academy,
followed the alarm of fire in Jack
son's fire works and magazines, and
when the crowd was gathered,
another explosion, more terrific than
the first, occurred. The scene was
horrible, and the firemen were scat
tered in every direction, many of
them with their bodies mangled be
yond recognition.
John Lanahan, a farmer living in
Clay county, a short distance from
Sibley, Iowa, while sitting in bis
room, the other evening was shot
aud killed by his eldest daughter
Maggie, who has since made con
fession that she did the shooting.
She also implicates her mother, her
sister Anna, and the latter's lover, a
young man named Birch. The
verdict of the coroner's jury was in
accordance with the above facts.
The accused parties are all under
arrest and waived an examination,
and were held to await the action of
the grand jury.

The Ulysses Dispatcli has a lengthy
article concerning out "float" repre
sentative, Hon. J. C. Robberts, and
Senator Evans, both of Bntler coun
ty, in which we find the following
emphatic sentences :
"Did the constituents of Jake
Robberts desire him to sneak away
from the halls of the state legislature
three minutes before it was time to
vote on Senate file No. Ill a bill to
fix a maximum standard of freight
charges on railroads, and to prevent
unjust discrimination therein and
then come home aud tell them he
was s-i-c-k! and with the liver com
plaint at that! Did the majority of
his constituents wish him to dodge
the temperance bill by playing off
s-i-c-k! . Did the constituents of
Arthur J. Evans expect him to vote
against the passage of the Well" bill
reducing passenger rates io three
cents per mile, and which bill would
have passed and become a law had
he voted for it there being a tie
vote in the Senate and a majority of
the House in favor of its passage?'
The House on the lGlh resumed
the consideration of the apportion
ment bill. A vote was taken on Mr.
Anderson's amendment providing
for 325 members of the House ap
portioned by the old method, and it
was adopted by a vote of 102 yeas to
104 n ay s. This bill gives Nebraska
three representatives. It gives one
additional member each to Arkan
sas, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky,
Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri,
New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Vir
ginia and Wisconsin; two each to
California, Iowa, Nebraska, Michi
gan, Minnesota and South Carolina;
four to Kansas, and five to Texas,

21 in all.
The press of Chicago do not speak
in the most flattering terms of the
appearance of Mr. Oscar Wilde, or
hi ability as a lecturer. The Her
ald says: "To those who had read
Ruskiu, Mr. Wilde's language and
ideas were 'like water after wine.'
But when he claims that be and his
silly followers are to be credited
with any revival or reform, and calls
into his assistance all the vulgar
tricks of advertising known to the
most unscrupulous showman, he
brings true art into contempt. But
his lecture makes the apostle of
sitheticism as a. clever mountebank,
willing to do anything for the al
mighty dollar, which he affects to
despise. His shamming is becoming
too evident." The Journal guesses
that this is juat about Oscara
measure.
A wonderful surgical operation
was recently performed by Dr. Wm.
Goodell at the university hospital,
Philadelphia, in removing a tumor
from a woman 31 years of age, the
mother of three children. The
ovarian tumor made its appearance
nine years ago, and from the start
grew with amazing rapidity. After
a successful operation and removal
of the tumor, it was placed on the
scales and weighed 112 pounds the
largest, it is believed, ever removed
from a human being. Subsequently
the patient was gently lifted to the
scales, and was found to weigh only
75 pounds, or 37 pounds less than the
mass just taken from her body. Dr.
Goodell, when the woman had been
carefully placed in bed, expressed
the belief that she would live, al
though reduced to a mere skeleton,
and hanging to life by the veriest
thread.
