Commissioner Loring laid before
the President the other day the report
of the commission appointed to ex

statement that there are no conditions
surrounding the industry which tend
to propegate disease or render pork
unhealthy.
The investigation into the Danville
election riots thus far from the testi

conflicting. The white people claim
that they feared a massacre, aad only
protected their wives and children,
aad on the other hand the colored
people feared bullets for ballots.

A financial proposition important
to present and future tax-payers in
the Columbus school district is to be
submitted to the decision next week
of the qualified voters of the district.
It in a practical, business proposi
tion which each, voter shoul consid
er, not alone with reference to his or
her individual needs, but also having
an eye to the welfare of the commu
nity at large, and more especially the
lasting benefits accruing to the rising
generation, the ambitious boys and
the thoafhtfal girls, whose better
training will depead greatly upn the
answer to be given.
Our laws very wisely limit the
amount of indebtedness that the peo
ple of a school district can vote upon
the property, within its boundaries,
aad set forth very clearly the manner
of proceeding.
The antbority the Board 'have for
submitting the proposition is the peti
tion to that effect signed by one-third
the legal voters of the district, and,
while it is understood that every
member of the Board is favorable to
the proposition, it is not true in any
sense, that they have any other or
different interest in the matter than as
individual citizens, heads of families
and taxpayers. We may remark here
that three of the b!x members of the
Board retire at the Spring eloction, so
that the people can select from their
number men of eminent ability, espe
cially fitted to the task of overseeing
the building of the new structure,
should it be decided to build.
As to the object of the proposed
building. It is not for a high school
alone or mainly, but one of a system
of buildings, for tho better accommo
dation of the pupils of the district. It
should be of brick (by common con
sent), strong and substantial, two
story, and will necessarily (owing to
the cost), be limited to about seven
apartments, six of them for school
rooms, and one for an assembly room
where all the pupils and teachers can
convene for general or for public ex
ercises. We do not pretend to know
that this will be the case, but we out
line, in a general way, what we
bcliev to be the sentiment in regard
to the new building as intended by
the signers of the petition.
That two such apartments have
been sorely needed for the High
School alone, is abundantly proven by
the fact that the district have beea
paying rent for a building, which has
been attractive at no time, and often
times uncomfortable.
That at least two more such apart
ments are even now imperatively de
manded, is shown by the constant
attendance on the primary depart
ments, of double the number any
teacher should have charge of.
Add to these the additional rooms
needed for the increased number of
pupils that the city will have in the
next few years (and it would be folly
to plan and build without reference to
the wants of the immediate future at
least), and the argument for the addi
tional building is, to our mind, com
plete. The school district is in the situation
of a man who has rubbed along with
a dwelling not to his liking or his
needs, and who knows he can at least
afford to erect a good, substantial
structure that will suit him for some
time, even if to do so he has to bor
row money equal to five per cent of
the valne of his premises, on long
time, at a low rate of interest.
There are other considerations not
without their weight, even in a finan
cial point of view, such as that the
proposed structure will add sensibly
to the valne of property in the dis
trict, making it more desirable for
heads of families to locate here, and
that it evidences a broad, liberal pub
lic spirit on the part of our citizens,
alike creditable to thoir judgment and
their appreciation of the usefulness of
our public, free schools.
But we present the urgent necessi
ties of the schools, and the ability of
the district to provide against the
same, as onr individual reasons for
saying Yes to tho proposition, and we
feel that thus we shall be doing only
Justice to our personal interests and
the general welfare of the community
in which we live.
George L. Miller, editor of the
Htrald at Omaha, on his return from
a six months' tour in Surope, was
tendered a banquet by bis friends and
citizens of Omaha the other evening
at the Paxton hotel where he, was
welcomed homo by kind words and
eloquent speeches, fine music, with
other attractions which formed one of
the most brilliant affairs of the kind
ever transpired in the city. This ban -quet
and reception must have been
most gratifying to the feelings of Dr.
Miller.
Miss Clara. Barton, President of
the American National Association of
the Red Cross, accompanied by Dr.
Hnbbell, the special field agent of the
Association, have left Washington for
the scenes of the Ohio flood, first
starting at Pittsburg. Miss Barton
requests that Bed Cross societies
North will, until further notice, for
ward' supplies to Cincinnati as a cen

Tub house held an all-night session
en the 19th on the Mexican veteran
pension bill. In the morning was a
scene of great confusion and excite
ment Mr. Hiscock attempted to
have the pension bill read and the

phasis. Mr. Tucker approached close
to Hiscock addressing Urn directly
called him te order.

Leaving Columbus, by standard
time, bo early as 8:20, requires the
friendly aid of an alarm clock set at
abont 7 o'clock if you wish to get a
warm breakfast before starting, al
ways a desideratum for a good whole
some day, at hone or abroad.
We start in company of several old
time friends, among them Mr. Wun
derlich of David City (formerly ot
Columbus) who tells us that the city
of David is flourishing apace, with
many new buildings, among them
some brick, going up; Mr. Ellis of
Wyaore (formerly of-Platte county)
who is returning home from, a visit to
friends in old Platte, and who gives a
good account of his business (livery)
in his thrifty Nebraska town ; ex-senator
W. W. White of Yalpariso, one
Of the cleanest men, every way, trav
els the state in the interest of the
Crete mills, of which very valuable
property he is part owner.
Nothing of very special note occurs
on our way down the Platte valley,
over the frozen river, through Bell
wood, past R. H. Henry's large flock
of fine-looking sheep and through the
thriving villages of David City and
Ulysses.
At Seward there was quite a crowd
gathered at the station to see the
young man recently arrested there
and charged with the horrible mur
der. lately committed in Kansas. His
hands chained together, he was put
aboard thetrairi,' in' the care of two
officers, who watched him very close
ly. Of course there are all kinds of
reports talked of among the passen
gers, viz., that he had confeHsed to one
of the most horrible murders ever
perpetrated; that, besides the murder
and after it, a nameless crime was
committed ; that the evidence against
him was too certain for his escape;
that he could prove au alibi; that
parties to whom he sold the horse
stolen from the murdered 'couple,
could identify him beyond doubt,
etc., etc. Mr. Ellis said that the peo
ple of MaryBville had threatened to
dispose of him in a very short time
after they got sight of him. The boy
in chains looks no more wicked than
many an other you would meet on the
streets of Columbus or elsewhere.
Not intelligent, evidently, his coun
tenance not "sicklied o'er with the
pale cast of thought," his life has been
intent on animal pleasures, if we are
to judge from facial indications; he
doesn't look like a forecasting, calcu
lating villian, but as though in the
gratification of some sudden whim. of
passion, be could do a deed of dark
ness. Who can tell how many of
such crimes result from a bent of
mind influenced by such foul prints
as the Police Gazette and News, and
the sensational stories sold broadcast
over the country?
At Lincoln, we notico the smoking
ruins of J. L. Osborne & Co's. butter
and egg packing house, corner of O
and Eight streets, which was destroy
ed by fire Wednesday night, along
with the St. Charles hotel and other
smaller structures. Mr. Osborne's
loss .is estimated at about $75,000, in
sured for about $20,000.
The Lincoln Democrat, which seems
to "catch on" to some political indica
tions, suggests that Gov. Dawes, be
ing anxious for a renomination, he
may consider whether Nance or
Weaver will best help him to it, in
case Senator Manderson is called to
the bench, and an appointment be
necessary to fill the contingent va
cancy. This seems a great deal like
"counting chickens," &c.
From the commercial traveler, who
is exceedingly numerous and ubiqui
tous, we learn that business is dull
everywhere. M. K. T.
Omaha, March 3, 1884.
Thus far on my trip I have met
several acquaintances of the Journal
family, among them Hannah and
Bennett, of the Lincoln Journal com
posing force, James Cady, the poet
artist companion of our boyhood
days (who, by the way, bad only just
beard of the death, two weeks since,
of his aged father), and Dr. J. C.
Moore of Oakland, Neb., who, with
his wife has been stypping in the city
several days. From each of these I
had news of old friends and mutual
acquaintances and was reminded of
events ocenrring a quarter of a een
tentnry ago.
The signs of thrift are everywhere
visible in Omaha, aud real estate, ac
cording to the prophetic foresight of
some, is going into the clouds. Evi
dently, Omaha is not going back
ward, but mcanB to be at the front
among Missouri river towns. Every
body says that business has been good
all winter, up to now, but that the
current month may be set down as
slow.
The lovers of the mimic world have
bad quite a feast in a series of enter
tainments given by the celebrated
Lawrence Barrett and his company.
Friday and Saturday evenings they
presented Hamlet and Julius Caesar,
to crowded houses. I have never had
much opportunity of witnessing
"star" actors, and must say uow that
my palate has not been particularly
choice heretofore. I had always ad
mired single passages from Sbaks
peare, bnt (owing I suppose, to a too
dall imagination), it has always been
irksome to me to read one of his plays
through. To follow the story as put
upon the stage, however, is a very
different thug, and those wonderful
ly deep sentences of Sbakspeare be
come still more significant as they
fall frena the lips of those who have
made them a life study. I remember
reading years ago the remark of one
who listened to Bistori, It is equiva
lent to a classical education to hear
her, and looking at these audiences of
Barrett's, one wonld think by the
breathless silence in which they drink
in every word aad act, as well as by
the spontaneous bursts of delighted
applause which greet 'the more strik
ing passages, that the fanatical re
mark waa even tree here.

Representative Willis has prepared
a most interesting table to accompany
his bill for federal aid to education,
which shows that illiteracj holds the.
balance of power in fourteen northern
and all the southern states. Iu the
thirtyeight states there are 1,871,217
illiterate votes, and only one voter iu
five can write his name in southern
states. The illiterate voters in South
Carolina are more than one-barf the
J
whole; in Alabama, Georgia, Miss
issippi, Florida, North Corlina 'and
Virginia, oue in two; while Missouri,
with one in nine, presents the best re
cord. In the presidential of 1876 New
York, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Indiana, California, Ne
vada, Ohio, Oregon, Wiscousin, Illi
nois, Bhode Island, Michigan and
Pennsylvania were rauged on the side
of illiteracy. In the last presidential
contest thirty states of the union, with
298 electoral votes, were again within
the domination of sovereigns "who
could not read tho very cuartb"o!

Deputy Sheriff Willaud's po.sse

Cunningham a by6taudpr was killed.
Jack Campbell, one ot the outlaws
was killed. His body was perforated
by fifteen bullets. Tuttle and Axel
bee were both wouuded. Axelbee,
their leader escaped, but his woqtid
is thought to bo fatal. Jesse Brudcn
has bceu jailed at Dead wood.
An exchange says: "Lougstreet
was regrded by the Democratic press
as a man of high character and great
ability while he was a rebel and a
Democrat. But the moment that he
decided to drop the war issues and to
act with the Republicans, he lost caste
in his section. His old friends. all
turned against him, and none of them
were satisfied with his appointment
to a federal office."
It is stated that speaker Carlisle
has received a letter addressed to him
personally by several of tho most
prominent members of the liberal
party in the German reichstag, ox
pressing their high sense of apprecia
tion of the action taken of respect for
the memory of the late Herr Lasker.
The letter expresses the hope that the
two nations may develop aud con
tinue in friendship.
