The thirteen-year-old son of

and swifter than was anticipated, and

One of our intelligent farmer
subscribers suggests that the repeal
of the law requiring notice of delin

state that has cost them tens of thous

trees. This year he has put out many
thousand cot ton woods, and has sown
an acre to box-elder and ash eeed.

The late storm in this county
extended its operations into Colfax
connty, also, and did a good deal of
damage, among other things carrying
away some of the first bridges in that
county and which have withstood all
previous freshets ; of these was the
bridge near Henry Loseke's place la
Shell creek precinct. The Herald
says that nothing remains to show
where it stood.
Another death by being mixed
up with a plow is reported in Butler
county. Jno. Wahl was riding on a
plow, when the neck-yoke became
detached, the team frightened and
Mr. Wahl was thrown in front of the
plow, becoming entangled in the
frame. The Tribune says that when
aid reached him it took over a half
hour to extricate him, the plow having
to be partly taken apart in order to
get him ont.
Mr, Neno, aged seventy, while
plowing with a sulky plow lately,
was thrown from the seat and got
caught in the wheel and lever. After
the team had ran three miles the
lever worked loose and let the plow
drop, stopping the horses. Mr.
Neno's son-in-law, . with whom he
lived, was very relnctant to allow
him to drive the team but he was
confident he could do so. His de
termination to undertake the work
cost him his life. So aays the Nor
folk News.
Mike McNanay, a journeyman
tailor in the employ of L. Kramer,
was arrested, fined, and in default of
payment, jailed last Thursday for
having wantonly broken a velbclpede
belonging to Gus. G. Becker's little
son. Later in the day a part of the
costs was thrown off to bring the
sum within the limits of the offender's
funds, and he was allowed to go free,
and walked out of town immediately.
This is the samo man who had a jug
broken over his head not long since
by a brother tailor.
The Madison Chronicle notes the
fact that a minor had been made
drunk on liquor purchased at
Kuccra's saloon ; the lad's fine and
costs of court amounted to $13.65.
The saloon-keeper was invited to pay
this amount or suffer the consequences
of prosecution for selling liqnor to a
minor. He promptly paid the $13.65,
not making much, evidently by in
fringing the law. It is becoming
quite fashionable in Nebraska, more
especially in the smaller towns, to
enforce the laws.

The Seattle Herald of a late
date contains a letter addressed to J.
Scbram (formerly of this place) by
James Shields, in regard to the Cceur
D'Alene mines, concerning which
there has been considerable stir of
late. He says that there is good
placer ground there; that every claim
so far opened to bed rock has paid,
and some of them extensively ; the
population of Eagle is 1,200; Mur
rayyille 500,' 00. as ore prospecting in

advice to workingmen who have not
means to prospect with is to stay at
home.
An exchange tellsthe story of a

asked by his mother why he had not

asked him what was in the sack.
How many of our merchants are like
this little boy. They have plenty of
goods for sale, but fail to tell what is
in their sack. If you expect to sell
goods in this day and age of the world
you must open your sack and keep

A Maa Caarffe with Warder,
Arrcaica ma riaue waaiy
Last Thursday, officer John Hu
ber arrested on Shell Creek one Elmer
Lamb, who is charged with the mur
der of John C. Lawson of Fulton Co.,
HI., on the 3d inst. The Register
gives a column of particulars of the
affair, which, condensed, means that
Mrs. Lawaon was a lewd woman with
whom Lamb was entirely too inti
mate. Going together from the vil
lage of Falrview on the 3d, about 5
p. m., these two met Lawson, who
had time and again forbidden Lamb
the premises; an altercation took
place between the men, in which
Lawson used rough language to
Lamb, who shot him and fled, not
knowing that the man was dead until
the officer here told him, in answer
to his question.
Lamb was brought to this city,
placed in jail, and word telegraphed
to the sheriff of Fulton county.
Mr. Huber is becoming famous for
the way in which he does his duty as
an officer of the law. He began
working on the case Tuesday last,
with the result, as above.
The Journal cannot refrain from
adding a few remarks by way of a
moral to this sad business. Lamb
appears to be an unsophisticated
farmer lad (19 years old), no long ex
perience in crime, who has evidently
been infatuated with this lewd wo
man, and now, criminals, both of
them, the wife and mother with her
paramour, witness the violent death
of the wronged husband and father.
Whether or not the administration of
the law shall result in the execution
of either or both the guilty parties,
certainly they pay very dearly for
their days of sin.
J. R. Smith leaves us some spec
imens of his growing corn, fonr
inches high, of which he has a hun
dred acres, plantod the last day of
April on fall plowing; because the
ground seems to be in better condi
tion, and the planting can be done so
ranch earlier than on spring plowing.
Mr. Smith says his early-planted, fall
plowing has always produced him
good crops. We suggest that his
method of keeping seed is worthy of
all imitation, viz: to select the best
ears, hang them in pairs over poles in
a dry, airy loft of a barn or other
convenient place in this way the
grain is thoroughly dried to the tip
that enters the cob.
J. W. Pearman writes to the Be
atrice Express concerning fruit cul
ture, and mentions Oliver Townsend
of Gage county, who has a young
apple orchard of 30 acres' in bloom,
promising two or more thousand
bushels of apples this fall. This re
minds us that Mr. C. P. Mathewson
of Norfolk has a fine bed of straw
berries from which he had last year
an excellent return ; the beet plan, be
says, is to have three beds, prepare
the ground as for corn, mark, plant
and cultivate as for corn, take the
crop of two successive years from
each bed, aud plow up the third year
and reset. This gives two bearing
beds all the time, and Mr. Mathewson
assures us it is wonderful the amount
of fruit that can be raised to the acre.
The Banner Alliance met at the
Redenbaagh school-house, President
W. Mullens, in the chair, D. L. Bruen
Secretary. Minutes of the last meet
ing read and approved. A motion
made and carried that the committee
which was appointed to attend the
Creston Alliance, be continued till
next meeting. Jacob Lann and Peter
Letgens were admitted as members
of the Alliance. The following ques
tion was debated: Resolved that
corn is the best paying crop for the
farmers to raise. J. S. Freeman
affirmative, Mr. Brunken, negative.
The question was strongly contested
on both sides, and decided in favor of
the negative. Several speeches were
made in favor of Ben. Butler for
President, as the people's candidate.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
May 31st, at 8 p. m. Every alliance
man in Platte connty is invited, and
every one that is in favor of the cause,
as we expect to have a good time.
City Ceaacll.

A resolution was offered by coun
cilman Lockner that the committee
on sidewalks and bridges be in
structed to purchase a car-load of
flag stone for the use of the city on
streets and crossings, to be paid for
out of the street fund, to which coun
cilman Whitmoyer offered an amend
ment that the committee be instructed
to look into the practicability and
cost of same and report at next meet
ing. Resolution with amendment
adopted.
Councilman North offered a resolu
tion that in accordance with a peti
tion signed by M. E, Clother, Gerhard
Schutte and D. N. Miner, a sidewalk
be laid along the east side of the fol
lowing lots and blocks : West side
of block 2, lots 3, 4, 5, and 6; block
15, lots 3, 4, 5, and 6 ; block 18 and lot
4, in block 31. That if the said walks
are not built within the time required
by law the same will be let by con
tract. Adopted.
Bond of city treasurer approved.
Sheldea 4c McDlll.
Nebraska's broad, rolling prairies
covered with luxurant grasses, with
her splended climate, have attracted
hither a goodly number of people,
who have come to stay, come to in
vest their means, come to cast their
lot with our people, and, like the fol
lowers of Greeley, grow up with the
country.
Among such, no state has furnished
more good men for Nebraska than
has Illinois, and of these Messrs.
Sheldon & McDill rank high.
These gentlemen are from Iroquois
county, and started here by a pur
chase of land in June 1882. In May
'83 they brought stock. They have
enclosed, by a neat and substantial
wire fence, section 33 in Bismark
township, all native prairie and
splendid pasture. In the southwest
corner, nearest the city, they have
their corral with 164 feet of excellent
sheds, wind-mill, water-tanks and
troughs, feedracks, tables, &c.
They have now, all told, two hun
dred and sixty head of fine looking
cattle, among them thirty thorough
bred short-horn cows ; the herd is
headed by Red Rose, of pure "Prin
cess" breed, sired by Fourth Belvi
dere, dam by 19th Duke of Airdrie,
Grand Dam by 9th Duke of Thorn
dale a splended looking animal three
years old May 27lb, weighs 2100 lbs.,
is not in high flesh, and has never
been pampered.
These gentlemen are much pleased
with the soil, the productions and the
climate of Nebraska for the business
of raising fine stock. Although their
cattle bad been used to tame grass
and some grain in summer, they were
brought here the 9th of May, and bad
no grain until the middle of October
and were in excellent order. None
of their cattle have been sick, and
consequently no deaths. After
awhile our Nebraska stockraisers
may expect to hear further of these
gentlemen and their enterprise.
