f ihtwttsfttttal WEDNESDAY, MABCH 25, 1885. The new Chinese dictionary com priiei forty volumes. Tbkbe are not lesB than 250 tele graph dfflces in New York. City. The Follerton Telescope talks of wells in Nance county, 175 feet deep. It is claimed that the United States imported 15,000,000 cocoannts last -year. Ik Jlaryland nearly one-fourth of the counties are under prohibitory law.- The Grand Army of the Republic has a membership of over 6,000 in this state. It is declared that drunkards now form 55 per cent, of the insane pers. sons in Paris asylums. Attorney Gknebal Gray received the vote of every member of the leg islature of the state of Delaware for TJ. S. senator. The front wall of W. D. Johnson's new building at Hastings fell the other day, causing serious damage, but no one injured. Congressman Dorset has express ed a" very favorable opinion of Presi dent Cleveland, his cabinet and the probable course of the administration. It is stated upon good Authority that the yearly consumption of meats in the United States per capita is 120 ponnds; in England, 104; France, 74; Germany, 69. The Presidents announcement that he will- send no nominations to the Senate but those actually needed, has caused an exodus of a disgusted horde of office-seekers. A special agent of the C. 6. & Q. road recently in Sanfrancisco says his company will probably construct a line from Denver to Ogden, to com pete with the Union Pacific. Arkansas is about to establish a standard of morals. The Senate has "passed a law prohibiting base ball playing on Sunday, and making the offense punishable by a heavy fine. The governor of Maine, in his an nual message says that' the constant agitation of the subject of temperance has created a firm adherence of the people to the principle of prohibition. A "wonderful wind storm visited Mount "Washington, N. H., on the night of the 20th. The storm trav eled at the rate of 100 to 140 miles per hour. Net morning it was 45 degrees below zero. AcmzENs'meeting at Grand Island is called to nominate a ticket. The call says that "Grand Island is being filled with gamblers and overrun with prostitutes, to the utter disgrace and demoralization of our city." A recent report comes from Win nipeg that the -Northwestern Indians are dying in large numbers from a singular disease, the first symptons of which are the stiffening of the knees and joints, from wmen death soon follows. The navy department the other day instructed Commander Wile?, of the "Yantic," now at New Orleans, to supply his vessel and hasten to Liv ingstone, Guatamala. He goes under orders to use every exertion to pro tect American interests. .Gen. Shebidan at Washington City has received a dispatch from Gen. Hatch stating that upon the receipt of the President's proclamation concern ing the Oklahoma lands, most of those preparing to invade the Indian Ter ritory decided to return home. A heart rending accident happened at Hastings, Neb., the other eight Karl Alexander bad in his hands a revolver, which was accidentally dis charged, killing Edson Harvey, a boy abont seven years old. The boy who had tbe pistol was about eleven years old. J. W. Bogebs, of Lincoln, adjusting agent of the German Insurance Com pany,, wbb found dead in bed tbe other morning in his room, over McLain's restaurant. He .died from heart disease doubtless as he has been so tronbled for some time. His home was at Freeport, 111. The following appointmente have been confirmed: Col. Nelson H. Davis, inspector general, with the rank of brigadier general ; Lieut. Col. A. Baird, inspector general, with the rank of colonel ; E. Clark, assistant secretary of the interior; S. D. Jack man, U. S. marshal of the western district of Texas. Thomas Ballard the other evening at Omaha entered the basement bar room of the St. James Hotel, and de liberately shot and killed the bar tender, Henry "Verpoorten. Ballard had been on a spree for several days which combined with a spell of jeal ousy is supposed to have excited him to the commission of the murder. - About fifty masked persons the other morning at Spring Ranch, Neb., not far from Hastings, took Tom Jones and Mrs. Taylor from their home and hang them to an 'iron bridge. They were charged with some crime committed in that vicin ity. Among other crimes the murder of Edwin Roborte. The coroner's verdict was that they met death at the hands of parties unknown. We are indebted to the New York Tribune for recent returns from the spring elections held in that state, and is given as a fair indication of the drift of opinion. It states that in tbe contests which have taken place in forty-six of "the sixty counties, the republican .gains are large, and hap pily fpretell the victory that is to fel low in the fall. In nearly every eouty there have beeB repaslican gaia'i, shewing a net gain of forty Ihrtt Maerrisers. '.---- The State Journal strikes at one of the nonsensical attractions (?) of the State Fair which the management did not decide to drop in the following bit of satire : We observe that the board of man agers of the State Fair have retained the chariot race as a feature -of the annual exhibition. We are delighted to see it. The intimate relation be tween the improvement of agriculture and the spectacle of a half-naked woman driving four old pings at a gallop around tbe race track is so in timate and vital as to need no comment- If the woman, should fail to appear in a 'costume 'abbreviated at both ends and thrash her plugs and holler,MHi Yi"-at Jenrtwo or three times around the ring, we are satisfied that corn would mildew and apples turn to seedlinge. Should tbe char iot race managers fail to receive a check for six or eight hundred dol lars of the.fundB set apart or contrib uted to the dissemination of horticul tural and agricultural information, there is no doubt but every cow in the state would give bloody milk. For averting these great evils the board of managers have the sincere thanks of a happy and much-relieved people. We regret to observe, how ever, that they have neglected to in corporate into the exhibition the instructive spectacle of a greased pig race-: Another abuse of the object; for which fairs are intended, having no recommendation except that it is a "drawing" feature to swell the gate receipts, and might be replaced by an attraction of tbe same nature which would not be a farce, is tbe custom of paying a large portion of the funds for premiums to a lot of old spavined and ring-boned "pol lers" under the gauzy pretext of eb conraging the .breeding of speedy .horses. On tbe subject of the return of un earned land grants to tbe government, Senator Tan Wyck, made tbe follow ing pointed remarks in a speech be fore the Senate' tbe other day : ' "Twenty and thirty years ago con gress gave recklessly to any coropra tion applying for lands. Now the execntive department and congress refusing to restore unearned lands to the public domain will be judged by the people as gnilty of a crime againBt the nation. The tide of our own and foreign populations, which years ago laid the foundations and reared tbe structure of great states in the west, is now repelled by the desert lands, the arid plains, the sandhills, tbe sage brush, and in its reflex is gathering at the border of the Indian lands im patient to enter. Federal bayonets are pointed against tbe breasts of hardy pioneers like nnto that class who carried the flag of tbe Union in advance of civilization over mountain peaks and furled it by the waves of the broad Pacific. No bayonets to drive out the cattle syndicates al ready in Oklahoma or to destroy fences illegally enclosing millions of acres of public domain !" W. W. W. Jones, State Superin tendent of Public Instruction, calls attention of tbe people to the change made in the school law by the legis lature. At the business of the an nual meeting under the change it will be necessary now for the voters to provide for what school may be desired between the time of the an nual meeting and tbe second Monday in July, in addition to the full year from the second Monday in July, 1885, to the second Monday in July, 1886. In other wordB, for fifteen months' school instead of one year's school. The change affects cities of the second cUbs, in that the tax es timate is made to the county com missioners instead of the city council. The officers to be elected at the coming meeting do not, in country districts, take possession of their office until the second Monday in July. The present board holds nntil that time. City boards are not af fected in the change in the school year. The Fremont Herald shows the right spirit in its course with refer- ence to Judge Post and his action in the Beers-Sang case, and in doing so gives tbe Judge well-merited praise, as against some criticisms of the North Bend Hail: says the Herald: "He was the umpire selected by the law to decide the question. He is not a resident of this county. He is entirely a disinterested person. He is regarded as one of the ablest law yers in this State. As a judge he is the peer of any of his colleagues, in the various judicial districts of the State, in pnrity, learning and judicial fairness. There is hardly a lawyer of the bar of this city but resents indig nantly this cowardly and low attack made in the Flail on Judge Post It does look as if tbe cabal in this crush ing out process do not propose to save any person." Congbe8s several years ago passed a law authorizing the government to furnish a marble head and foot stone for every Union Soldier's grave in tbe country, not otherwise provided for. Doubtless the members of the G. A. B. in this vicinity will see that the law is executed in this part of the state, it is claimed that tbe stone furnished is a nice substantial marble slab, with all tbe lettering necessary, giving name of soldier, his age, regi ment, company, date of death, &c. It is sent to most convenient railroad station at government expense, on the guarantee of a responsible person that it shall be properly placed in position at the soldier's grave named in the application. Two wayfaring gentlemen usually designated as tramps, called at the residence of Mr. Webb at Fremont the other morning and demanded coffee. The door was closed on them. They then assaulted tbe mansion with their fists, while tbe man slave of the mansion was looking after his muni tions of war. Webb opened tbe door with the mouth of his cannon pointed at the wayfaring gentlemen, and gra ciously inquired if they were sure it was coffee they- wanted. 'They con cluded they didn't want anything. So sayeth tbe Fremont Herald. Mossgrove's U. S. Hotel, at Stea benville, Ohio, was burned one even ing last week. The second, third and foarth stories were need as a hotel, the first floor being occupied by sterVJ rooms and the Western Union telt srransi office, were all burned out Ths total loss is placed at $135,000. A Brier DJseat f nun AsMresa at the Faaerml of the Imte Major Framk Ifrtk, y Ber. JRBert Dofcerty 91. A. Mr Dear Friends : When I start ed on this melancholy errard, which has brought us together here to-day, I thought that mine was to perforin the part of an affectionate friend to a bereaved 'family, rather than to take the conduct of this religions solemnity.- I supposed that the Bev. Mr. Goodale, the priest of this parish, would be present, and he, of course, who has lived long among yon, inti mately knows and is known by you, would be the proper person to speak now, when your tenderest sympathy, and the springs of deeper human feel ing are moved so mightily. I might fitly have assisted him, which indeed I hoped to do. It seems 'to me, though, that this occasion demands that something be said beside the church's appointed service, so soothing, tender, comfort ing and hope-inspiring as it is, to those dear friends who mourn, alas, a much-loved, but now lost one. I shall have to ask yon to overlook my unstudied statements, and to be lieve that if I do not speak wisely and worthily of onr departed friend, I will speak at least kindly and affectionately. Friends, this is no ordinary fnneral. A great man has fallen among us, and his remains lie now for the last sad offices of religion, honor and reverend affection at our hangs. If Major Frank North had lived in other days and in other lands than oars he would have died a Knight or an Earl and a blazoned coat of arms would have rested on his funeral pall. In our simpler and as we believe bet ter days, he has justly earned the title of "Nature's Nobleman." Bold as a lion, gentle as a woman, simple as a child, be was a pre-eminently grand representative of the pioneer of Ne braska, he has made himself an honorable-place in the history of onr state, in the civilization of the great west. His name is known to this great nation, associated with noble actions. He will live in story as long as we are capable of appreciating the brave, the simple-hearted and the true. Those who knew him by rep utation admired"him, to know him personally was to love him. Called by the loss of his father to the dignity and responsibility of a man when but a mere child, he be came the prop of a noble and dear mother, and under the guidance of tbe orphan's father he grew into a famous defender of the frontier settler,, an industrious and successful developer of the great resources of this new state, and a wise and conscientious representative and adviser of the people. It may be said in justice to the old old settlers of Nebraska that their homes, for love and tenderness, for pnrity, fidelity and simplicity, are among the most beautiful models to be found in any country. The found ers of these homes are fast falling around us now. The places that knew them, know them no more, tbe long-familiar faces are fast becoming loves memories. As we follow the solemn processions, hear the oft-repeated "ashes to ashes," count the empty places oy tne old nresides, a chilly sense of desolation creeps over us. Shall we see their like again? Among these old model homes, our heritage from the past and our earnest for the future, was the home of our dear departed friend. And it might be truly said that the teachings and example of the respected and revered mother of our deceased friend had much to do in forming -his character. Brave and merciful as a soldier, trusted, tried and true as a citizen, as a neighbor the esteemed, loving and loved friend of every man and the enemy of none, he was an affectionate and dutiful son, a tender, loving in dulgent husband, and a most thought fully and self-deny ingly fond father. No matter how or where enraged hardly one day was ever permitted to pass by him without writing to his daughter. Now his story is told, his struggle is passed and he has early gone to his rest. His history is brief but event ful, and one of which none need be ashamed. The changes and chances of this mortal life threw him into a strangely mixed and confused whirlpool of humanity. He mixed as indeed he had to mix with the bad as well as the good, but he was always tbe same good man and true. 8ince it has been my privilege to know the North fam ily, now these seven or eight years, 1 have felt a pride in this man as a citi zen of my adopted state, a friend and a brother. As his remains lie here before us, and his memory must be ever with us; as a sacred thing, we cannot but be sadly impressed with the vanity and fleeting character of all earthly hopes and relations. .What more? Only this. My dear friends, may God help each of yon, and may he help me, in the midst of, this poor world of dying men, sorry partings, and sad farewejls, to have our faith so fixed on the Liviag,LovingOne,and our hope so anchored on the Bock of Ages, that, life's fitful fever over, we may have a sure resting place in Him, and that at the glorious Easter Day we may wake to a happy meet ing and unending re-union.
