Sweden has recently started a new

plant, but from the bleached and
blanched remains of mosses that lived
centuries ago, and of which enormous
masses have accumulated in most
parts of Sweden.
S. H. Sanders, claiming to be from

A firm in Boston that thirteen
years ago employed only five women,
now employs 360; another firm that
six years ago employed only 50 now
employs 400, and still another firm
gives work to 1,200. Everywhere
there is a drift of women into indus
trial employment.
There was great excitement iu tbe
court room the other day during the
trial of the star route case, occasion
ed by the announcement that the en
tire testimony of Bowen was perjury.
After this statement was made the
court recommended that the defense
arrest Bowen for perjury.
Albert Price, who belonged to a

fenced the other day to ten -years in

It appears that at a recent confer
ence of the grain committee of tbe
Produce Exchange and the freight
agents of trunk IineB, held in New

uary 1st a switching charge of two

of grain consigned to be graded.
Some excitement at Yankton, D. T.,
over the secret marriage the other
day of Dr. V. Zebiakin Ross, a young
Russian physician, and Sister Mary
Paul, of the Catholic convent of the
sacred heart. It is stated that the
doctor proposes to stand by his mat
rimonial rights in spite of the church.
It has been recently discovered that
paper made from strong fibers, such
an linen, can be compressed into a
substance so hard that it cannot be
scratched by anything but a diamond.
In view of this fact, it is thought that
before long a great variety of house
furniture will be made of paper in
stead of wood.
James Nash shot and probably fa
tally wounded E. A. Newton in the
court room at Wahpeton, Dakota, one
day last week. It is charged that
Newton had brutally assaulted and
accomplished his wicked purposes
upon the person of the young daugh
ter of Nash. This is a lesson to all
similar offenders.
It is reported at St. Louie that Jay
Gould has got possession of the Gal
veston, Houston & Henderson rail
way, running. between Galveston and
Houston. The purchase of this road
gives the Gonld system a Gnlf coast
outlet of its own, and will furnish
facilities for handling cotton and other
Texas products intended for foreign
countries.
The Lincoln correspondent of the
Omaha Republican, refers to the third
party in Nebraska as "the anti-monopoly
mule." This is supposed to refer
to tbe great patience and endurance
of tbe farmers, and also their ability
to kick bard on occasions. It also
includes the snob's idea that the farm
ers are or ought meekly to be "like
dumb, driven cattle" in public affaire.
Hebr Most delivered in Chicago
the other evening the most outspoken
socialistic speech ever made in this
country. The only thing to be done,
said he, was to kill. The trouble iu
tbe French revolution was, according
to this philosopher, that when the
people got the upper band they quit
killing. They should have kept on.
They must open banks and stores and
help themselves to whatever they
wanted.. Bankers and capitalists must
be set to work on the streets. These
are bold, bad utterances to an Ameri
can audience, to a people taagbt to
respect law ana order.
A. . COTVREK.
The Kearney Nonpareil, in a two
column article, announces Gen. A. H.
Conner as a candidate for U. S. Sena
tor. We are not posted in the Gen
eral's political antecedents, but believe
him to be eminently qualified for the
position. The Nonpareil's article
outlines the political and public life of
tbe General, as a member of tbe Indi
ana legislature in 1858; chairman of
the Republican State Committee; as
postmaster at Indianapolis in '61-65;
as one of the editors and proprietors
of tbe Indiana State Journal, tbe
leading republican organ of the state ;
as commissioner to the army of the
Potomac In '62 ; as an appointee to the
territorial governorship of Idaho and
Utah, both of which he declined ; in
75, in Nebraska, as a member of the
constitutional convention; in 78 as
one of the presidential electors, and'
lastly his election this fall, by an over
whelming vote, to the State Senate.
Tbe Nonpareil closes by saying :
"Should the senators and repreaen-f
tatives composing the present legis
lature desire to send to the United
States senate a man who will watch,
guard and labor for the real interests
of the masses without prejudice, fear
or favor, from or in behalf of any, they
can do no better than to cast their
ballot for A. H. Conner, who is tbe
peer of any man now in the United
States senate. He would be an honor
to our state, a credit to the country at
large. Toe state and nation would
have the best efforts of an able, edu
cated and experienced gentleman,
lawyer and debater, and one who has
been in close counsel and friendship
with some of the leading statesmen
our country has had since the days of
1860, and we are sure no member of
the present session of the legislature
will ever have cause to regret casting
ni8 ballot for A. H. Conner for United
States senator."
Tbe General has hosts of personal
and political friends in the state, who
would hail bis election as a triumph
of sound republican principles, over
mere party machinations, and an evi
dence that the republican party of
Nebraska is, at least, earnest in the
advocacy of anti-monopoly measures,
and candid, outspoken, earnest and
able men in official places.
Prof. Aughey urges the legislature
to make some provisions for preserv
ing Nebraska fossils. There is no
necessity for urging this matter ; the
Nebraska legislature hasn't done
much of anything else for tbe past
twelve years At every session there
are a lot of old fossils standing around
pleading to be preserved. An asylum
for the indigent wouldn't be a bad
thing. Schuyler Sun.
If the appropriation adyocated by
some of the state papers for making
a geological survey of Nebraska is
intended to put money into the pock
ets of Prof. Aughey, as a first-class
geologist, tbe bill will be a delusion
and a snare. He is an "expert," who
testified that there was poison enough
in a bit of sugar to kill a man, and,
after being cross-questioned, had to
admit that it would take a barrel and
a half to do the work. The so-called
professor should not be allowed much
longer to impose on a too-generous
aud long-suffering people.
These appropriation jobs should be
closely watched by our legislators.
Toe Omaha Jiepublican thinks there
is hope for us, because we give evi
dence of being a close student of that
paper, these days. Knowing tha un
reliability of that paper as an alleged
news gatherer and as a would-be
leader of republican political action
in the State, we have taken some little
interest in pointing out a few of the
instances, and calling general atten
tion thereto. The Jiepublican has not
been able to couceal its real senti
ments, and is every day getting further
and further toward the rear of public
opinion. The editor of the Jiepublican
will learn that tbe people distinguish
selfishness from patriotism, and real
sentiments from masquerading. When
Freddio shall learn to work for tbe
public welfare, and be satisfied with
his proper share of that welfare, he
will be wiser than he is now, and will
also be a truer republican.
It is said that Lincoln has a candi
date for every office within the gift ot
the legislature. This speaks volume?
for the "cheek" of the capital city. Bni
tbe present volumes are unnecessary.
The subject was exhausted years aero.
Osceola Record.
As for offices, we don't believe that
Lincoln has had more than her proper
share, but as for appropriations of
money, thousands upon thousands of
dollars of which have doubtless gone
to lobbyists, and not to legitimate ex
penditures npon the public institu
tions of tbe state, Lincoln men have
had more than enough, and the con
scientious legislator, who is also well
informed, will keep both bis eyes
peeled for these things, and likewise
demand that the important appro
priation bills involving tens of thous
ands be brought forward early in the
session.
It is understood that Mr. Lambert
son's appointment was sent in withont
tbe knowledge of the Nebraska sena
tors, upon the recommendation of the
department of justice, and that it has
been withdrawn for the purpose of
leaving the office open for use in tbe
coming senatorial contest. Omaha
Republican.
Office-brokerage, again, eh! "In
fluence"! "Power"! Legislators now
can look at every lawyer lobbyist who
meets them and greets them on tbe
senatorial question, as a possible dis
trict attorney. This will enlist more
"workers," and, in tbe squabble, pub
lic consideration will not weigh very
heavily. "Open for use"! A mild
expression for political bribery.
It appears from recent reports that
northwestern Pennsylvania is suffer
ing from a water famine. In Mc
Kean, Warren, Venango, Butler and
Charlon counties over 1,800 oil wells
are shut down for want of water.
The mills operated by water power
stand idle. Live stock in many places
has to be drives for several miles to
water. The small streams are nearly
dry and frozen solid, and the larger
ones are lower thai for several years
with heavy ice.

JOHN STAUFFER, Countv clerk.
Columbus, Nebraska, January, 1883.
Eilacela.
Our grape-vine telegram is to the
effect that tbe first choice of the rail
road, republican element for U. S.
Senator is Millard, with only lip
service meaning simply to appease
him ; second, Manderson, third, Saun
ders ; as to tbe anti-monopolists, Bur
rows is being pushed, and Sturdevant
as a possible combination of anti
monopolists and democrats; anti
monopolist republicans will insist on
Gen. Conner, and believe they can
make it with him ; the democrats are
for Morton ; there is likely to be no
caucus. As we go to press, Tuesday
evening, we have no news as to the
organization of either house.
A special from Beverly, West Va.,
states that A. Carrence, a prominent
farmer of Randolph county, was.
bnrned to death the other night, with
four of bis children. He had lost
much sleep in watching with a sick
neighbor, and the night of tbe fire was
sleeping at home, while his wife and
two children watched at the sick
neignoor s. sne saw ner Home in
flames, but before she could reach it
the walls had fallen in, and enveloped
the five inmates. Mrs. Carrance made
a frautic effort to rescue them, and
received burns that will prove fatal.
We learn from an eastern exchange
that a subdivision of the Joseph
Smith branch of the Mormon church
are repairing the fanapus temple at
Kirtland, Ohio, wberevthe first stake
of Zion was set, and which was aban
doned when Smith's wildcat bank
broke, forty years ago. It has been
announced that tho annual conference
of tbe Mormon church will be held in
the old temple on April 6, 1883, and
then over 1,000 Mormons will attend.
The town and temple are twenty-five
miles from Cleveland.
Among the various uses to which
electricity may be put tbere is one of
a very practical nature, which prom
ises to effect a great saving of prop
erty and life. It consists of an
arrangement for the immediate stop
ping of an engine, by merely pressing
a button similar to those by which
electric bells and fire alarms are
sounded. The principle of the con
trivance relies upon the action of an
electro magnet upon tbe stop valve of
tbe engine.
And now some of tbe state papers
are after the Lincoln Journal for be
ing "inaccurate" concerning tbe wo
man suffrage campaign. It is au
impossibility for Gere to be candid,
fair and truthful concerning an op
ponent. Magnanimity is not a part
of his composition, in politics. He
seems to have bad bis training in that
school of politicians who work pri
marily for shekels, and make princi
ples subsidiary to appropriations.
The bark Gembok, from Auckland,
repuriB mat on ner trip during a
southwest gale and thick snow equal,
a ball of fire passed across the ship
iujoring three seamen and breaking
both gunwales and ripping the planks
from the stern of the star-board of the
boat and exploding . about twenty
yards from the ship with a loud re
port, the sparks flyinf :from it like a
rocket. No lightningaor thunder at
the time.
Complaints are agaiu appearing in
regard to tbe treatment of Jews, in
tbe St. Petersburg newspapers; It is
stated tbat tbe railway companies
hare ordered tbe discharge of their
Jewish employes. The prefect of St.
