At Cairo, 111., Petersburg, Va., Gal
veston, Tex., Norfolk, Va., and Lafay
ette, Ind., the storm turned into frozen
pebbles and boulders, and did its
damage to property all the same. At
Lafayette a horse and rider were
struck by hail stones as large as hen's
eggs and knocked senseless. At
Cairo the hail stones measured nine
inches in circumference, and weighed
0)4 ounces. At Galveston some of

Thos. Galloway is said to be the

of the machine shops at Garrett, Ind.,
another is an actor, now with Maggie
Mitchell. He has a grand-son, a
brakeman on the road. Father, son

world. He is now seventy-four years
old and expects to attend the railway
exposition at Chicago, at the special
request and favor of the Baltimore &
Ohio Co. as a specimen of its supe
riority over all other
roads in the
character of its men.

Several articles of incorporation
have been filed in the office of the
secretary of the state of Nebraska,
forming companies for the purpose of
constructing railroads as follows: Tho
Plattsmoutb & Southwestern Railroad
Company. This route commences at
Plattsmouth, thence in a southwesterly
direction through Cass county via
Avoca, through Otoe county via Syra
cuse, through Johnson county via
Sterling, thence touching Fairbury.
Another company to build a road
from Ft. Scott, Kansas, to Lincoln,
Nebraska, by way of Topeka, Kansas.
This company is known by the name
of Ft. Scott, Topeka & Lincoln R. R.
Co. Another to be known by the
name of Lincoln & Topeka R. R. Co.
This line of road is intended to run
through Lancaster, Gage, Johnson and
Pawnee counties, in this state. The
business place of the company will be
at Pawnee City.
Later reports from the cyclone
which passed through a part of Saun
ders county, Neb., show that it did
not tear up and crush things so badly
as at first reported, though bad enough
in its limited track. It appears the
storm cloud originated in Lancaster
county and over the line, its direction
being slightly east of north so that it
passed east of Valparaiso about half a
mile. Its length was about eight
miles and its path from eight to ten
rods wide. The damage done by the
storm is simply estimated at from
$4,000 to $5,000 and the sufferers are
Mr. Coon, Mr. Pierson, Mr. Tbroop,
Mr. Davidson, Mr. Latton, Mr. Rom
inger and two school districts. Eight
buildings were demolished, including

whither she went for the purpose of
more extended study, availing herself
of the privileges of the Library. She
is preparing for authorship aud to

lishing will be entitled "Woman in
Relation to Sociology and Zoology."
Mrs. Brooks holds the position of
chairman of the committee on Botany
in the Nebraska Academy of Sciences.

settle the woman question. Just be
fore leaving Washington, a reception
was given Mrs. Brooks by Mrs. N.
Sanford, formerly of Iowa, and now
correspondent of the Des Moinee llcy
iater. Mrs. Brooks was introducers
the guest of the evening, and as the
"brain and soul" of the work in Ne
braska. Womciri Journal.
The new civil service rules having
been approved by the President, the
commissioners will iu a short time
leave Washington for tho purpose of
putting examining boards in opera
tion in all large cities. As the pro
visions relative to appointments take
effect July 16th, it is esseutial that
examinations be had before that date.
The work has been divided into dis
tricts . Commissioner Eaton takes the
principal eastern cities, such as New
York, Philadelphia, and Boston;
Commissioner Gregory is assigned to
Chicago, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Detroit,
Toledo and other lake cities, and
Commissioner Thomas to St. Louis,
Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Kansas City,
New Orleans and other cities in the
south and southwest.
The new law in regard to the pay
ment of taxes in this state should be
understood by our citizens. Taxes
now become delinquent four months
earlier than under the old system, and
will be placed in the collector's hands
as soon as delinquent, adding penalty
and interest nine months sooner than
under the old law. The taxes for
1883 will become delinquent the 1st
day of January 1884, and will be due
and payable on the 1st of October '83.
The change may operate a little hard
the present year on our citizens who
have recently paid their taxes for '82
but the taxes for '83 paid and the
law may work all right.
Tie Commissioner of the land office
has recently received complaints from
Nebraska through the post-office de
partment that cattle herders in Ne
braska have inclosed with fence, for
grazing purposes, a large tract of
public land, and cut off an important
mail route. It is said the case is being
investigated. It iB thought at the in
terior department measures had ought
to be taken that will break this un
lawful practice of fencing public
lands, a practice which has lately
grown to be a serious matter.
Recent newe from Col. Torrip, who
had just returned to Hermosillo,
Mexico, after pursuing the Apaches
for twenty days, says he found them
entrenched in a strong hold in the
mountains, and attacked them with
300 troops and after a hard fight in
which he flanked them in the rear at
the point of the bayonet, the Indians
fled, feaving eleven dead. Five sol
diers were killed and eight seriously
wounded. Col. Torris says the
Apaches fought savagely. They were
armed with repeating rifles.
Less than five months of the year
1883 have passed and thus far in the
new year its records of accidents,
commission of terrible crimes, de
struction of property and life on sea
and land by fire, water and wind,
exceeds anything in the same time in
the past ages of the world. It is not
out of place for everybody to know
"That God moves in a mysterious war,
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm."
Mrs. Hannah S. Grant, mother of
ex-President Grant, died suddenly at

May 11th, 1883. (
Eoitou Jouknal: Our village baa
made more substantial progress in
permanent improvements the last four
month? than at any time during its
existence. Rock foundations and nice
buildings is now the order of the day,
aud the building boom bids fair to
continue all summer.
Corn, we judge, is two-thirds plant
ed, and if we could have a few nice
warm days the growing qualities of
corn planted would soon be satisfac
torily settled. But very little wheat
sown, farmers mostly are depending
on oats and corn for all crop purpo
ses. Gardens are very backward ; so
much cold windy weather has made
everything very late, even for Ne
braska. But then we will probably
get our spring and summer weather
later in the season.
Cherry bloom is just beginning to
open ; wild plums are in full bloom,
also pears aud crabs; apples just be
ginning to open, but how much or
little the cold weather will have for
culinary purposes we can tell better
bye and bye. One thing I am thank
ful for my large orchard is in far
better couditiou than I expected after
the 6cvere storm of last summer. But
all of us who had no crops last season
are working hard, Providence per
mitting, to secure our fair share this
coming fall.
Flour is higher here than in Chica
go ; blessed be the millers, they ought
to feel happy.
Sugar beets raised here last season
analyzed four degrees higher in sugar
and less acid than in France or Ger-
mauy, according to the analysis of the
department at Washington ; and if we
could only have a sugar factory con
ducted on right principles what a
boon it would be for this part of Ne
braska !
Check rowers are largely used on
corn-planters this spring, and some
green drivers who have made crooked
rows may find it difficult to plow
both ways bye and bye.
After a thorough test we like tho
honey locust so well as a hedge plant
we arc putting out one-half mile more
this spring, and will also plant one-
half acre to forest. No more box
elder will be planted by me, and all
praise in its behalf as a tree to be rec
ommended for forest planting we
consider erroneous; so, so, we are
speaking of our upland prairies.
Why Not ?
Portugal will open her national
agricultural exhibition at Lisbon
about the 20th inet., which will be
continued during May. June and
July,wbich will afford an opportunity
for American manufacturers in agri
cultural implements and machinery to
extend their enterprise and establish
valuable marketB for their products
in that section of Europe, where there
is an awakening interest in agncul
tural improvements.
