Columbus foutiial, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 25, 1885. It is reported that hog cholera is making a clean sweep of the pens in and around Nebraska City. Govebnoe Dawes has designated Hon. John M. Thurston to deliver the address at the world's exposition on "Nebraska Day March 11. Vxs Wtck has introduced a bill in the Senate making an appropriation of 150,000 for improving the Mis souri river opposite Nebraska City. Mhs. Lowell, wife of our British Minister, was reported very ill the other night at London. Her physi sians have no hope of her recovery. The repeal of the pre-emption and timber-culture laws is not likely to take place at this session of congress. Appropriation bills seem to have precedence all around. When you reach the B. & O. depot you may depend upon it your in auguration ticket will be good for any train v On some other roads to Washington this may not be the case. M. B. Roche (well-known as trav eling BaleBman for J. S. Caulfield of Omaha) is a candidate for post-master at his residence, Gibbon; his many friends will be pleased to learn of his good luck. The Sioux City Journal, in speak ing of the Audubon lynching, says that "there have beep over 300 mur ders committed in Iowa in fifteen years, but not a single murderer legally exterminated." Ik the assembly at Albany, N. Y., the other day a resolution calling on Congress to pass the Edmund's bill to place Gen. Grant on the retired list was announced. The resolution was adopted, ayes 72, nays 1. Mackin, Gallagher and Gleason were convicted Saturday at Chicago on the charge "of conspiracy to affect the result of the election for congress man in the Fourth Illinois district at the election last November. The B. & O. is the only direct route from the west to Washington, and only line running limited trains without extras, and upon which the inauguration tickets, at the greatly reduced rates, are good for passage. It is now definitely announced from Washington that Bayard, Garland and Manning have formally accepted seatB in the cabinet; that Lamar has one under consideration and will accept. McDonald is spoken of for the navy, Vilas for the interior and McClellan for secretary of war. Private dispatches at London in dicate that Wolseley will have to Bend 6trong reinforcements to Gen. Buller if the latter is to be rescued from his perilous position at tho Abu Klea wells. Grave (ears are cdtertaiued thafeBuller will suffer the 6ame fate of Gordon unless speedy succored. J. J. Sullivan, under arrest for perjury in the Mackin trial, made a confession the other day alleging that his testimony on behalf of the de fense is untrue, and that it was part of the conspiracy entered into by himself and others, who were to re cieve for their services a considerable 6um of money. TnE Oregon legislature adjourned without electing a senator to succeed Slater. There is scarely a doubt that the governor will appoint and let the senate decide as to whether such ap pointment is valid, democrats claim ing that it is not such a vacancy as is contemplated to be filled by the gov ernor's appointment. Mrs. Dudley was arraigned the other day at the Yorkville police court. Rossa was not present. Mrs. Dudley testified that she shot Rossa for the purpose of killing him, be cause he was an enemy of her country. Justice Patterson consented to fix the bail for the prisoner's appearance be fore the grand jury at $3,000. Report comes from Unadilla, Neb., that Jacob Craig, a carpenter, died at that place the other day from an over dose of chloroform. He bought a bottle of Blackberry brandy and he and another man drank of it. The other man was saved by the use of a stomach pump. The coroner's ver dict exhonerated the druggist. The noted through-car system on the B. & O. affords unequalled op portunities for journeying without extra expense, its solid trains passing from terminal point to Washington without change of cars of any class, even to the baggage car. To all trains are attached superb sleeping and parlor cars, for the faultless ac commodation of those who prefer traveling in that way. We hear that Thos. "Kennard has said that Columbus ought to have the insane asylum by all means and that Senator McAllister should be the first patient placed therein. If there were enough McAllister's in tho sen ate and house at Lincoln to make a working majority there would be no need for 6iich lobby members as Mr. Kennard. Lincoln's story about Grant's whiskey would be applicable here because McAllister's precipi tancy suits the people who belieye in right and justice. The fact that the only other line from the We6t must reach Washing- ton by a circuitous route, and that all its passenger traffic from the North and East must combine with all its western traffic on the last forty odd mileB into the national capital, is the strongest of arguments in favor of the B. & ., which enters Washing ton from the west by one division, and enters from the north and east by another. Those who want to get into Washington will go by the B. & O. and be assured of remaining in the cars until they reach the city. Kluul TraiMlag Sckeels. The Omaha board of education pro pose to introduce into the schools of that city the system of "Manual Training," which has been found, wherever thoroughly tried, very ben eficial. In St. Louis it has not only proven successful, but popular, as it onght to be. The pupils graduated from the training school at St. Louis enter shops and receive $12 per week at the start, when if raw apprentices, it would be only f 3. It is well enough that there is a strong conservative feeling, active in the conduct of educational institu tions, but it has often appeared to the Joubkal that if the spirit of enter prise, of improvement and progress, the spirit that animates modern in dustry in other directions, were allowed a little play in school affairs, it would be better all around. The great body of the youth of the land who receive their education in our public schools, quit before they reach the High School. The main reason for this is, probably, that the valne of their labor Is needed by their parents. If, now, that value could be increas ed two fold to four fold by the addi tion of a manual-training department for the youth of both sexes where they are taught actual life-work and made self-helpful, and thereby ren dered self-respectful, why not adopt it, at once, after thorough preparation therefor? There is absolutely no reason why. No system will make wise men and women out of frivolous and foolish children, but our system of public free schools will not be reasonably perfect until it includes a working knowledge of the elements of those crafts by which moBt people make their living. Apprenticeship is almost obsolete, and always was objectionable, but it will ever be right and highly proper for the youth to learn what they ought to practice at a later age. To bo learned in books is not learn ing sufficient. Science Is only half- preparation until it culminates in art. To know and to do complete the cir cuit By all means let the youthful intellect receive all needed care, but let us, at the same time, teach our children how to use their hands in the necessary work of earning a liv ing. Practice always adds zest to learning, which, in its turn, throws a charm over a deed accomplished. Free Hemes. The following from the Creighton, (Enox county,) Pioneer will give our readers as complete information as we are able to command on a subject which will be of interest to many who have yet to avail themselves of the privileges of their land rights : "The President has, by executive order opened for public settlement after May lotb, 1885, all lands within the Niobrara, on the Santee reserva tion, in Nebraska remaining unal lotted and unselected by the Indians, except Buch as are accupied for the agency, school and missionary pur poses. This opens for settlement thousands of acres of the best agricultural lands in Nebraska. The land is located in the northern part of the county, and borders on the Missouri. Most of the Indians have already selected their land, which lies mostly in the northern part, on the bottom lands along the. Missouri river, thus leaving the southern portion almost entirely without settlement, which will be taken up by whites. Not less than sixty thousand acres of excellent land will be left after the necessary re duction is made. As this land is but about ten miles from Creighton, the trade of the white settlement will be tributary to Creighton. These lands, it is understood, will be open for all the privileges now existing under any public land, and while many have supposed only homesteads could be taken, no dis crimination will bo made with re ference to this land from that of any of the public domain, and even if the pre-emption and timber-culture priv ileges should be repealed, the law would not take effect until the 1st of July, which would give persons so desiring, plenty of time to take ad vantage of these privileges on this reservation. Persons intending to secure a piece of this unexcelled land will have to be on band 60on after the 15th of May, as already the tide of immigra tion has commenced to surge way." this Owing to its position in Washing ton, it being the only line running directly through the city, the B. b O's. advantages for the proper and prompt care of its patrons for the inauguration are wholly unap proached by competing lines. All the passenger traffic of other lines from the west must combine with the traffic from the east, and thus the single line into the national capital be clogged with trains to an enormous extent. The B. & O. handles its bus iness from the east wholly indepen dent from its business from the west, the channels of entrance into the city being different, and for all purposes in view the Baltimore and Ohio really has two lines into the capital, one from the west and the other from the east. It is announced at London that in view of the fact tbat the fall of Khar toum and the death of Gen. Gordon has rendered the main object of Gen. Wolseley's expedition impossible, the government has deemed it expedient to change the whole plan of the cam paign in the Soudan. Gen. Bracken- burg, who succeeded the late Gen. Earle, has been ordered to abandon his advance on Berber and concen trate his troops at Korti. Buller has aleo been ordered to fall back on Korti. When one takes into consideration the saving of hours of valuable time and the consequent lesser expense in attending the inauguration via the B. & O., it would be some pretty strong inducement to create a desire to go to the National Capital by .any other line. Leaving St. Lonis in the morn ing, Cincinnati in the evening, Wash ington is reached the next day at one o'clock, six hoars in advance of 1 the fastest trains on other lines. A bill "To repeal all laws provid ing for the pre-emption of the public lands and the laws allowing entries for timber culture" has passed the Senate of the present congress. The original bill is virtually the bill which was passed by the Honse last June, but before passing the Senate was loaded with amendments, which are numerous and sweeping, and it is thought the bill will be killed in the House should it come up this session. Should the bill become a law the ex isting pre-emption and timber-culture laws will not be ia effect after the 1st of July next, previous to which time claims may be lawfully initiated and title perfected according to law. A provision of the bill also permits all persons who have not availed themselves of the privileges of the pre-emption laws to make a second homestead-entry in Ilea of the privilege repealed. Under the pro visions of this bill, the public domain, except abandoned reservations and forfeited railroad grants will be open only to homesteaders after the 1st of July next. Whatever the merits of this particular bill as it has passed the Senate may prove to be, some better protection of the public domain from the repacious maw of specula tion and fraud is demanded. We notice that Senators McAllis ter and Brown are the especial objects of attack by senators who failed to do their duty to the people, and sided in with the servants of the rail road companies. The people have been and are watching the action of senators both here and at Washing ton, on the greatest political question of the day, the control of corporations, knowing that the design of the cor porations is to defeat legislation which they can accomplish the easiest by having control of the senates. The people will, before many years, send men enough to the halls of legislation to express their will without fear, and very effectually men with whom the corporations can not drive any bargain of pelf or ambition, and the more opposition now to reasonable legislation the greater will be the triumph of tne right. A vebt destructive fire occurred in Chicago on the 19th, in the Grannis block, on the east side of Dearborn street, just south of Washington. The fire is said to have originated at the bottom of the elevator shaft, where the past week there has been a new boiler put in and other improvements made. The block contained two banks, and for the most part was oc cupied by lawyers, architects and insurance agents, many of whom will lose everything contained in their offices. It is now known that two of tho most valuable law libraries in the city are totally destroyed. The block was built about three years ago at a cost of $175,000. Loss on furniture, etc., about $75,000. The party sent out to Alta, Utah, to rescue the living and bring back the dead who were killed in the re cent snow slide ascertained that there were three snow slides in one day, and that thirty persons have been killed by them. The party rescued a number of living persons, and in their efforts to find the dead secured the bodies of about twelve who had perished. They met with a trying experience coming and going down the deep defiles of the mountains, and dragging sleds on which the bodies were placed, sewn up in blankets; they were beset on every hand by deep drifts, and the whirling aud beating snow driven by the blasts of Winter. The Methodist bishops are receiv ing numerous inquiries from pastors asking what attitude they shall as sume towards the skating rinks that are becoming almost universal in the country. The clergy are disposed to take a view in opposition to the rinks, and to classify them with miscel laneous dancing. The revivalists are especially outspoken against them, averring that revivals have been com pletely frustrated this winter by. the skating craze. The "Boy Preacher" begs the bishops to issue a manifesto. The bishops will probably not act hastily. When a passenger on the B. & O. purchases a ticket for Washington, to attend the inauguration, that ticket, without any pretext whatever, of exacting an extra compensation for fast time, takes him through on the fastest time ever made on -any road. If, in addition, he concludes to secure accommodation in a sleeping or parlor-car, the usual rate only is charged. No doubling np of price to create dividends for both sleeping-car and railroad officials. Mrs. Eugenia Marks, of Frank ford, Philadelphia, whose death was recently announced, was a slave of Thomas Jefferson and was at his bedside when he died. She took great pleasure in telling that while at Washington she cooked so nice a breakfast for Gen. Jackson tbat he went to the kitchen to compliment her, and accompanied his compli ments with a $5 gold piece. Four English Judges are still actively pursuing their judicial labors after attaining the age of four score vears. They are Vice Chan cellor Bacon, who is in his 87th year, Judge Petersdorf, in his 85th year, Judge Hulton, in his 83d year, and Judge Bayley, of the Westminster County Court, also in his 83d year. Miss Mart Williams for over a year has done the mechanical work on the Sutton Begister. Miss Wil liams is also a good job printer, un derstanding well that branch of the business. She has done the work in that department in the office of the Begister, formerly done by a man, and does it well. A shock of earthquake was felt late the other night at Valparaiso. No damage done excepting to win dow glasses. People are going to the capital of the nation to witness tho inaugura tion of a President of the United StatCB not going to a court of royal ty to behold the crowning of a king. It is the great American privilege to go. as one pleases, and not have to stand around and wait the pleasure ot anybody as to the train to depart in. At the B. & O. depots, it is need less to remark, the great American custom is still in vogue. The passenger rights on the B. & O. trains are not subjected to such interpretation as a swell train man may gnage by the size of the fee dropped into his band, and on an in auguration ticket, without a nickel demanded over and above it, the B. & O. passenger reaches Washington hours quicker than if he had gone via other lines, and had to bant a cheap hotel to even op the expenses of the trip. Charles Rofi- a convict at the Nebraska penitentiary, committed soicide by catting an artery in hit left arm. Before he was detected he had lost so much blood tbat he soon died. He was a Wyoming prisoner, had been sentenced for twelve years for robbing the stage, and had served five years. Mas. Downing, of San Rafael, was awarded the first prize of $100 at the National Silk Culture exhibition, in Philadelphia, for the best silk cocoons raised the previous year in the United States. Silk growers in twelve different states were repre sented in the competition. The fine house of Mr. Peckinpaugh, three miles west of Table Rock. Neb., burned to the ground the other morn ing. The fire caught from the pipe in the upper room, and the ceiling was ready to fall in before discovered. Nearly all the furniture and most of the clothing wero saved. A vert destructive fire occurred at Philadelphia on the 19th. Two men reported killed. Nine large business houses were almost completely burn ed. Four others incurred a loss which many thousand dollars will not cover. The entire loss win reacn $2,000,000. Miss Austin, formerly a teacher, has a hundred-acre lot near Fresno, California, on which, with three un married lady friends and a Chinaman, she follows raisin growing, and has also hundreds of peach, apricot and nectarine trees. When tho B. & O. announced its rates for the inauguration, it meant that the tickets should be good on all trains. It is the only line upon which the inauguration tickets will be good upon limited express trains. Don't you forget it. The Tanners' Gazette, of Vienna, states that during the recent epidemic of cholera in Italy tanners were not attacked by the disease, and that the epidemic was less severe in towns containing tanneries. By recent investigation it has been ascertained that the Susquehanna river at Columbia, Penn., was frozen to the bottom. Great damage to property is anticipated when the thaw begins. Miss Hill, recently granted a divorce from Ex-Senator Sharon at San Francisco, was awarded the other day $55,000 counsel fees, with alimony of $2,500 a month from Jan. 9th, 1884. Cremation seems to be growing in favor. Even the Massachusetts legis lature, in the very atmosphere of puritanism, has granted a cremation Eociety a charter of incorporation. A Kearney paper significantly points out that the only failures there were those of business men who re fused to advertise. Gen. Clinghan, of North Carolina, sticks to it that tobacco will cure a number of diseases and affictions, in cluding cancer. Rosa Bonheur's last painting, a cattle scene in the Pyrenees, has been offered to a New York dealer for $12,000. Statistics show that both in Europe and America scarlet fever is more destructive of life than cholera. Jack Winters was sent to Stoat's quarries for four year's for assault ing a woman at North Bend. Nearly $2,000,000 worth of print ing ink is said to be used in the United States every year. Sixty thousand young fish will be planted in the lakes and creeks of the Elkhorn valley soon. At the last reports no tidings have been received of the missing steamer Michigan. The third battalion of the Grenadier guards left London the 12th, for Su akim. The Fremont creamery pays $1.25 a hundred-weight for milk. A. Farmer's .tottlasr. I notice that a good many farmers continue in the old practice of putting the manure in small piles, as they haul it to the fields. All authority, so far as I know, whether based on special experiment, or on ordinary farm experience, claim that it is bet ter to spread from the wagon, as hanled. "Labor is saved, the manure is more evenly distributed, and its substance more folly secured. By the way, is it not time tbat oar Nebraska farmers were giving this matter of manure more attention ? It will be easier for as to keep up the fertility of our farms than to bring it back after the soil is impoverished by continual cropping, with no return. Some farmers Beem to think they can go on hauling off their grain and hay indefinitely, and yet expect good crops. They haul a part of whatlittle manure they make, to their fields, if convenient, if not convenient the manure gofce jo waste. They will see their mistake sooner or later. We should profit by the experience of farmers in older states, who did the same thing and aro now obliged to depend largely upon expensive, com mercial fertilizers, which are at best, unsatisfactory. As fast as practicable let every young farmer accumulate sufficient stock of some kind to eat the bulk of the hay and grain raised. There is more profit in selling beef and pork than hay and grain. The manure made is a second profit and of more value than most of us realize. The best manner of handling ma nure is well worth our study. I am fully convinced that it U better to haul direct from the stable to the field in winter, instead of piling it up against the barn, or dumping it into the open yard. This saves once haul ing brings the work at a seasen when time can be best spared for it, and secures all the manure. I am satisfied tbat we do not receive half the value of the manure left in our yards to be washed by the spring and summer rains. Col. F. D. Curtis, one of the best authorities on agricultural matters, after careful experiments, says "on an average the extra food required to keep a three-year-old steer warm when fed out of doors during winter, would add 100 lbs. to its weight if fed in a warm stable." This matter of comfortably housing stock in winter is fast coming to the front for discus sion, as it certainly should. J. H. R. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Shell Creel Ite The Welch church is occupied for meetings, although the seats are only temporary ones. Meetings, Sunday school and singing school are held in it. Mr. David Thomas sold nine loads of hogs at Platte Center at $4 not for the lot, nor for a load, but for a hundred weight. "Dave" may have carried home some $600 or $700 that day, or perhaps a great deal more. Good for him. The sale of Mr. Henricb was well attended ; the prices, considering the times, were good. Mr. J. C. Cald well acted as master of ceremonies and some thought tbat he was beat ing that veteran of auctioneers John Huber ; but John is hard to beat, still he may look out for his laurels. Ex County Commissioner Walker, Mr. John Clark, Mr. Evan Davis and oth ers supplied their herds with splendid young bulls at moderate cost. Mr. Henrich brought the first Durbams into this county, and like the Millet he introduced, so is this kind of stock and their grades, sought for by every body. Catching your correspondents' suggestion be supplied himself with some fresh beef, thus having one of the best drugs in the house ; and, by the way, as people in the country are often troubled for a good butcher, be it known to all concerned, tbat Mr. H. employed A. Heinemann for that purpose and got a good, nice and clean job of it. The hog is still on a fair way to become king. At Hen rich's sale, also, hogs brought the best prices. X. Y. Z. Alllaace UleetiBS The Grand Prairie Alliance and Literary society met with a large at tendance at the Redenbaugh school house, Feb. 18th, '85, the president D. J. Poe in the chair. The minutes not present. The following named gentlemen were duly elected as officers for the next four weeks, namely, president, D. J. Poe, vice president, Wm. Mullen, secretary, D. L. Bruen, assistant secretary, G. W. Woods, treasurer, Rolla. Freeman. The question for debate was strongly contested on both sides and decided by the judges in favor of the negative. The question for the next debate will be, Resolved, that the pulpit is more powerful than the press, v. J. roe, amrmative, ana Wm. Mullen negative. The Grand Prairie Alliance and Literary Society challenge any person in Platte county to take the affirmative of the follow ing question and discuss it with us at the Redenbaugh school house: Re solved, that the Republican party should be retained in power. No further business ; adjourned to meet Thursday evening, Feb. 26th, 1885. Everybody invited. D. L. Bruen, Sec'y. Weodville. H. Guiles and John Koop, each lost a horse a few days ago. A. D. Back has been very sick for a few days, suffering from a severe attack of pleurisy. A couple of young ladies arrived at Mr. W. W. Tolman's on the lltb, and are attracting considerable attention. Miss Vada Northrop has been suff ering with that dread disease diph theria, but under the care of Dr. Clark is now convalescent Rey. Barns, assisted by Rev. Hatch, is holding protracted meeting at the Mt. Pleasant school house. Consid erable interest is being manifested. There will be a donation and oyster snpper given for the benefit of Rey. J. W. Jennings at Hardy's Hall, Fri day evening, Feb. 27th. Everybody cordially invited and a good time may be depended on. M. J. Thompson has rented his farms in this neighborhood, one to J. W. Hoffman of Genoa, and the other to J. W. McNabb, of Hastings, Iowa. Mr. McNabb has taken the contract to break 100 acres for M. J. Lost Creek. Business lively. We understand Mr. Geo. Maynard has sold his farm, and intends seeing the far west before buying again. F. H. Gerrard, our energetic gro cer, has sold his store and dwelling, and talks of again turning westward. The bitter feelings arrising from that bottle of bitters were not sweet ened by the jar of candy as soon as the boys expected. MOrVTAIVA. LETTER, Ah Egg mmi Batter Record kari teBeat. Missoula, M.

Enclosed fiud the ueccasary need ful for past arrears, and one year aud six months in advance, as I do not propose to give up the Journal, al though I wish the precinct corres pondents could be induced to be more zealous in the good work of telling home news, as all that seem trifles to them are interesting to us. If you wish to bear wbat 1 am doing for a living now, I will tell you as briefly as possible. I am at present engaged in raising chickens which is proving to be profitable on a small scale. Time must prove wbat it will do on a large scale. I put up a large house and domiciled fifty to seventy hens therein, then with suitable food and plenty of well water to drink they have been laying all through the winter even when it was 25 below zero. Now it is a little warmer with a foot of snow on the ground. We are gathering from 30 to 40 eggs a day which bring us 50 cents a dozen every time, and dressed chickens I sell for 75 cents and $1.25 each, or 20 cents per lb., they are of coarse the Plymouth Rock's. I keep bat one cow here, last April she brought me two heifer calve9, tbey are now worth eighteen dollars each, and with four in the family we have sold sixty five dollars worth of batter this season from the one cow.
