Mrs. Ann Gerrard of Butler coun ty, departed this life on Wednesday last, the 17tb inst., of old age, having reached the advanced period of 86 years. The corpse was embalmed and encased in a metallic casket by under taker J. E. Munger, and on Thursday forwarded to Fort Wayne, Ind., for interment, accompanied -by Mr. H. T. Gerrard, son of the deceased. John Tannahill has put up a large, nice green-house 25x50 feet. In it. he has three tables the full length of the building and under them 500 feet of pipe four inches in diameter, and car rying hot water for keeping the earth warm. He has also a seed-room 16x24, 16 feet high, with a hundred barrel water tank .above. Mr. Tanna hill is getting his mattere in excellent shape for business, which he deserves to have in the greatest abundance. The village of Rising is in a con dition of interest over the reported discovery of a good workable vein of coal in the Platte bluffs, fiye miles north of there. The find was made on the farm of Mr. Wilson, and the lucky discoverer was Wm. Turner. They have entered claim for the state reward of $4,000 and the county re ward of $800. Should the facts bear out the reports at present in circula tion the problem of cheap fuel is solved. The Bloomington Guard speaks of a Dane named Thos. Rasmussen, becoming deranged and attempting' to kill bis wife. He knopked her down and then tried to choke her to death, but at this point the family dog interfered and saved the woman's life. He turned to fight the dog and the woman made her escape, Ras unseen wandered out on the prairie and was frozen to death. When found, the ever faithful dog was watching by the side of the corpse. The Engine House was crowded Friday night last to witness the spar ring between several of the young men of the city. The event of the eveniug was between Tom Cain and Mike Daley. We learn that Tom is pronounced the champion of these parts and those who are posted in such matters say that Cain would be a worthy opponent for the best of them. The fire boys will soon have the hall carpeted and every thing fixed so they can spend their evenings pleasantly in athletic sports. The storm of Thursday and Fri day last, though not an old-fashioned blizzard, was a very strong reminder of the same. We hear of quite a uumber of little "freezes" such as fiuger-ends, the tips of ears, nose points, etc. Between this and the next cold spell would be a good time for the benevolently-disposed to in terest themselves in finding out the needy and suffering, and endeavor to make their lot easier. The innocent little ones should not be forgotten in times like these. "The poor ye have always with you.". Dr. Peebles has found a case t)f trichina in the family of John Kloster mau of Butler county. The Repub lican says: "A piece of pork from which the family had been eating was brought to town by Dr. Peebles. He took a piece from some pork at his own home and stopped at the meat market on bis way down town, taking the three samples to Prof. Call for microscopical examination, concealing from the Professor the nature of the suspeetion. The excellent microscope quickly revealed the spiral worm in the meat brought from the physician's field of labor. The other two speci mentjof fleh 'were healthy Where meat is suspected, if used at all, it .should be cooked at "a very, high tem perature, which kills tbe effect of the dangerou8pest." John McMahon has, been employ ed for the past month as watchman at the U. P. yards of this place, and has caught twenty persons stealing coal from open cars standing on the track, some coming, even with wagons; about the same number seen have escaped. It is estimated that the thefts have amounted to at least a car- I load a week for some time past. Mac has bad to do some quiet crawling on his hands and knees in the snow to get close to his game, and the man that be shot in the ankle Sunday night had been ordered time and again to stop; besides, he had been stealing coal before this and escaped. It is almost impossible to slip quietly up on a man and gather him in, because thieves are generally good listeners and extra good on their legs. The "eaaalizer" is about the only thing 1 that will arreat Mine of them. The American Agriculturist for February is out, a magazine of fifty bright pages. There is no end to the number of useful suggestions for (he farm and household. The more lengthy articles art', How good couu try roads pay; Borghum and its pros pects ; Devon cattle ; improvement drmestic animals; house drains and " traps ;" home supplies of food ; a Jersey cow; barbed wire fences; chemistry of the farm and garden; high fencing; experiments in keeping joultry; winter cheer; hot-beds, etc. Handsome illustrations are given to show the form of many a useful arti cle on the farm, and the method of making a wire gale is alone more than worth the subscription price of the magazine ; the same can be said of the tripot derrick, the plan for a cattle baru and a cheap sliding gate. Every farmer should have the Agriculturist. Orange Judd Co., 751 Broadway, N. Y., $1 50 a year. See clubbing rates with the Journal. The death of three persons in one house in Butler Co., recently, which caused such excitement in the neigh borhood, has not yet been fully ex plained; investigation is still going on. The Ulysses Dispatch, from which we quote, says It has good rea son to believe that bnt little light will be shed npon the true facts in the cage. "It seems thatju8t before re tiring for the night the husband and wite drank freely of hoarbound tea for a cold. But the son did not drink of the tea, but taking the brass spoon from the cup containing the tea, he ate three spoonfuls of sugar. Soon after all three were in the throes of death. This wonld lead one to sup pose that the poison ( which was strychnine) had been placed in the su gar. The general opinion, however, is that the poison was put in the tea and that enough adhered to the brass spoon, with which the young man ate sugar, to prove fatal. The son, it is said, npon being taken down, called lustily for mustard and vinegar,which is a strong antidote for poison. This, if true, is a pointer. How did he know so quickly that it was poison he had taken ? It is a sad case, and ev ery means is being brought to ferret out the mystery. The stomachs have been sent to a Lincoln chemist for analysis. The funeral occurred on last Wednesday and was largely at tended. The sad sight of three coffins, one after another, on their way to the cemetery was a scene seldom witness ed, and one that will not quickly be erased from the memories of our people." 1'iltMtoa. One who heard her at Omaha, gives us for publication the following: Nilsson is a perfect queen ; she sup plements a glorious voice, with a grace and style which cannot fail to captivate an audience. Her mourning garb contrasts well with blonde hair and blue eyes, and lends to her superb jewels a won drous brilliancy. One notices partic ularly matchless soltaires, and a tHjtti,2-ae-J?r.efienle by Otho IIKfngof-Sweedcn, representing his monogram in diamonds, resting upon the national colors. The Diva's voice is a pnre soprano, possessing marvelous tenderness and pathos. She gives the highest notes with perfect ease, and reuders legato passages in the sweetest manner. Her staccato notes are clear, crisp, and de tached, displaying wonderful tech nique and versatility. She is generoms, and gives not only the sweetest bows to a pressing encore, but sings again and again. I am sure I shall never again wish to hear any one attempt the little ballad "Swanee River." I always considered it ordinary, Bhe makes It a gem. Her rendition of the "Jewel Song" from Faust, is matchless, and she gives to Shubert's Serenade a tenderness which none other can. Her support is excellent. Miss Hope Glenn has a rich full contralto, Signor Del Puente a Bplendid b'iritone, and Biorksten a, tenor nnusually sweet. Then they have the Mendelssohn Quintette Club, with Frederick Giese, fo long violeu cellist to the King of Holland. His brilliant execution is something phen omenal. M. Real Estate Traaitfen.

Cacsxic. TAft WYCK'S WORK. AN INTERVIEW WITH THE SENATi.R ON IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. Correspondence Oiunlia Uee. Lincoln, Jan. 15 '"I pee by the newspapers, general," said a Bee re porter to General Van Wjck tn-d ''that jou are chained tith stoppii;;. tue nLiiait.g or a rciironn mruugu ill- i northern part of this state. Would yon have any objection to telling a reporter of .the Omaha Bee what there is in it?" Geucial Yu Wjck None in tho least. In the first place, there were some people who went up into the northern part of Nebraska and settled npon a tract of.land, supposing that they were outside of the military res ervation, but it afterwards transpired that they were on the reservation. These settlers bad made a considera ble number of improvements. -The Sioux City &Hl. Paul railroad wanted to build their road through this res ervation and congressional action was desired. The first bill was introduced into the house and gave, them tho right of way, and also allow.ed them to secure 320 acres of land. They bad no more right to insist upon buying this land than the Fremont settlers. A bill passed the tenate recognizing the rights of the settlers and the bill that passed the house only recogu:zed the rights of the railroad, but modified so as to allow them ouly forty acres. The senate passed the house bill rec ognizing the rights of the settlers ; to that the friends of the railroad would not consent, and neither bill became a law. After adjournment of congress the officer in command at the reserva tion ,t r --M- ARniTRAltlLT ANI WITHOUT AUTHORITY from the war department, destroyed all the improvements of the settlers and at the same time undertook to give to tho railroads what congress had not yet granted th; right, to build their road through the res ervation. "Upon learning of these facts T in troduced a resolution to know by what authority a railroad was granted the right to build while tbo property of settlers was destroyed, and why the difference between the railroad and the settlers. The n-sult is the pend ing investigation, and work on the road has been suspended. Neither myself nor the senate desired to stop the building of a railroad through tho reservation, but we were determined that the rights of private citizens should be respected." "Now, Senator, how about the MAIL CONTRACT TO THE BLACK HILLS that you are charged with having had suspended ?" "In the first place," said the sena tor, "two new mail routes running through Rapid City to Dcadwood were established, one from Fort Nio brara, Nebraska, and .the other from Chamberlain, Dakota, on the Missouri"vtittolmsuiar0imeritcj&8 $25? river. Each route was about 200 miles no V. sold aV$l6.50,tramer sN 2 long, running the entire distance through the Indian reservation, and no whites living thereon. I intro duced a resolution asking for infor mation from the postmaster general. He replied, stating that the postmas ters at Fort Niobrara, Rapid City, Deadwood and Chamberlain had rec ommended the service. This reply was referred to the committee on postofficee and postroads. At a later day I introduced a bill to repeal go much of the law of the lar-t session that established the two new routes; at the same time I offered a resolution asking the postmaster general to with hold letting for service on said routes. When the resolution came up in the senate for discussion it was opposed by Allison and lugalls, but wan pass ed by a two-thiruB vote:!. tract has not been let, but the post master general has advertised for proposals for daily service on both routes. I wish to say that Rapid City and Deadwood have each two daily mail routes in operation at this time one from Sidney aud one from Fort Pierre, and with the proposed addi tion they would have mail service four times a day." "What can you toll me concerning the ST. JOE ANT) DENVER RAlLROAIt J.ANU.H, about which we have read so much of late?" "Nothing particularly new. Tho bill of last nession is in tho house, hav ing passed the senate, and is in a fair way to become a law. It was under stood that Knevals and others, and persons owning lands, were willing to compromise on being paid $2.f0 or $2 75 per acre, as a basis of settle ment. It was then thought by thf friends of the settlement that the United States should be willing to pay to them the minimum price or public lands within railroad limit4. Such a bill was presented aud passed the senate last session, but sinc the decision of the supreme court an ap peal has been made to the fears of the settlers to induce them to com promise, but they have been advised by their friends not to do any thing of the kind, as it is confidently ex pected a settlement can be made with Knevals & Co. on the same terms congress allows the settlers. Call To ia letter. Ceres, Jan. 7, 1883. Editor Journal: What Is the pros pect for California? The new year opens with a snow storm for Snn Francisco and this valley as far south as Tresno, and a sand storm in Kern Co. The people of this county are far' advanced in getting in crops, aud the prospect is good now for the west side of San' Joaquin, as well as the east, but Tulare and Kern are dry yet. All north plenty of rain; Los Angeles has been wet up, and coast counties ; we had about six inches ot snow here the last day of the year and followed by raiu, in all about two iuches, iu three counties south of us. They depend on irrigation to a great extent, and the small farms on those ditches can make a crop any year, but only when raius are plenty can we look for a general large crop of wheat. All through the valley, in counties uorth of this, the rain seldom fails them (sufficient to make a paying crop. The towne on this line of road (Cen tral Pacific) are all growing,' many brick blocks going up and business pretty good ; carpenters aod masons busy ; twenty or thirty tons of wheat Lere yet in warehouses. Our church is nearly ready for the plasterers ; it makes a fine appearance; spire 115 feet from ground, and will cost $6,000 or $7,000. The R. R. and steamship lines will bring emigrants from Haver, France, to San Francisco for $65 via New Or leans and Southern Pacific. C. Lee. s Going! Galas!
