f - - v,in - , ! CafuttdusJoHtnal, "WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1S85. Gen. Gkakt reported better Mon day. It is said that freight rates from Chicago to Chadron are 70 cents, and from Valentine to Chadron $2.60. Yesterday's Omaha dailies report Jtassla as making fresh demands on England which render war inevitable. Ex-President Abthue has resum ed the practice of law with his old firm, Krevale & Ransom, at New York. Last week wheat in London went Tip 4 shillings per quarter. At Glas gow flour and wheat are 3 shillings dearer and the market firm. "Warrants have been issued for the arrest of eight of the Ninth ward elec tion judges in Chicago on various charges of fraud at the municipal election. The attorney general has given an opinion to the president sustaining the eligibility of Mr. Lawton, of Georgia, for the appointment as min ister to Russia. The oratorical contest at Hastings last week resulted in favor of A. V. 1 House, of Crete, 97 7-9 ; H. S. Brancht of York, second, 94. All contes tants did well. Large audience in attendance. The Prince of Wales the other day at Dublin roceived many representa tive bodies, academic and others. He said both he and the princess hoped in the future to Bpend many happy days in Ireland. One caBO of small-pox reported in Omaha last week. The subject is a colored man who recently came to Omaha from Colorado, where, it is said, the disease iB prevailing in some of the I&fgerciLitfl.x EDWAaxRKBfcETONT, secretary of the American legation at Rome, died on the 16th inst Ho was left in charge of American affairs in Italy by ox-Minibter Aston, when he returned to the United States. Permission has been granted the colored employes of the war depart ment at Washington City to partici pate in the emancipation celebration. The day will be deducted from their thirty days leave of absence. Moody, the revivalist, was asked in the recent convention in Milwaukee whether he had grace enough to die at the stake, he replied: "No. I don't need it; all I want is grace enough to hold this convention for three days in Milwaukee." Some murderous scoundrel the oth er day placed on the Union Pacific track at Fox hollow, about two mileB west of Rising station, a pile of cross tics; which the engineer discovered Jnst in time to check his dashing train and prevent a terrible disaster. Special reports from Chicago state that a heavy snow storm prevailed on the 14th in portions of northern Illi- , nois and Wisconsin. In parts of . Wisconsin four inches bad fallen rith no immediate signs of melting. The temperature was ranging low. Arthur Gleason, one of the three persons convicted of complicity in the Eighteenth ward election fraud at Chicago, wsb before tho United States court the other day on a mo tion for a new trial. Tho hearing, however, was postponed until May 4. Jobei'h C. Mackin, W. J. Gallagher and others charged with tho Chicago Eighteenth ward election frauds, con victed and grauted a new trial, have now been granted a change of venue, and instead of being tried before Jndge Hawes. will bo tried before Judge Moran. The propor authorities have se lected forty acres of land west of Beatrice, Neb., as a site for an in stitute for the feeble minded. The site is donated by the citizens of Beatrice and was selected in accor dance with a vote of a large majority of subscribers. If the Omaha Republican wants to find out whether Senator "Van Wyck's course has the disapproval of the peo ple or Eimply that of the pap-fed organs, let it aid in having the next Republican convention submit the Senatorial question to the vote of the people. Norfolk Neios. It is reported that Indians are jumping claims at Gordon, and pur pose fighting if molested. We don't believe there is any truth in the re port. Capt. Woodson with two com panies of the 5th cavalry are ordered west of Gordon, presumably to .watch, and not because of present trouble. Last week a report waB circulated from Plum Creek, Neb., that a home steader in Custer county bad been murdered. The murder grew out of trouble over a quarter section of land inside the wire fences of tho Brighton Ranch Company. Long is the name of the man who committed the murder. Robert Harriman, of Long Run, Licking county, Ohio, is anxious to learn the whereabouts of his son, George A. Harriman, supposed to be somewhere in the west, and whom he has not seen for sixteen years. He will be under great obligations to any one. who will inform him of his present location. It is reported that Mayor Harrison of Chicago expects to show that be has been elected Mayor, on the count ing of the ballots, and that after the announcement is made he will resign the office. The reason for this action on hiB part is the fact that he does not care to be subjected to the expense of a litigated contest. The grand jury for the February term of the third district court at Salt Lake was not discharged until the 10th of April, having investiga ted thirty-one polygamy cases, find ing twenty-seven indictments under the Edmunds law. Fourteen ter ritorial cases were investigated and eleven indictments found. Enforce the It&ws. On Friday, April 10th, Joseph Y. Provence was murdered in Caster county, while plowing on his home stead, by one Stephen D. Long, an employe of the Brighton Ranch Co. Recently a man and his wife were murderd and their bodies burned near North Platte. The Nance county horror ia fresh in the minds of our readers. The tragic taking off of Nellie Quackenbushat this place last fall, the fiendish assault upon a little girl and the murderous attack upon two un offending travelers the other day here will occur to our readers as samples of crime in Nebraska, in these years '84 and '5 that ought to deepen in the minds of our people a just determina tion to enforce the laws and all the laws of the land. No man can be called a good citi zen and worthy of all respect who wilfully, repeatedly and maliciously violates any of the, laws of the land, because, in so far as he does, be low ers the respect for all law and invites its violation in particulars where it may interfere witn any criminals notions of right. Civil society; ought to be in fact, what the phrase signifies, and just so soon as a man shows qnalities that unfit him for living with civilized men, in peace and harmony, respect ing the rights of others and doing his duty as a member of a law-abiding community, just bo soon as the law can clutch him and place him where he will be powerless for barm, that soon should this be done. Smith, who murdered bis wife in Polk cojinty, will never murder an other after July next. The tramp painter who assaulted the little girl and who might have killed her had the time and sur roundings been a little different, will have time for reflection during his long term of hard work in the peni tentiary, and if he ever comes forth from there will probably think twice before committing so serious a crime again. The young man who thought, per haps, that he could kill the boys who generously gave him a ride, and then steal their outfit of teams, etc., will doubtless picture that scene of a few moments that caused his long loss of freedom, and so engrave it in his memory during the weary days and cheerless nights of his incarceration that if he regains his freedom, he will bo very slow to commit such a deed again. Crime should be "nipped in the bud," and when jt is known that pun ishment will swiftly and certainly follow any transgression of law, civ ilized communities will be the better by a large per cent., because crime will decrease, taxes will decrease, capabilities of individual improve ment will be developed, and families become prosperous and cultured. Every consideration that can bo named points to the vital importance or enforcing tho laws. Arbor Day. Gov. Dawea has issued his procla mation, reciting the history of Arbor Day, as instituted in 1874, by the rec ommendation of the State Board of Agriculture and made a legal holiday by enactment of tho legislature this year, and further says : Now, therefore, I, James W. Dawes, Governor of the State of Nebraska, contemplating tho day in all its im portance, and with the earnest desire that it be observed faithfully and well by the people of the State, do hereby issue my proclamation, and, as pre scribed by legislative enactment, des ignate Wednesday, the 22d day of April, A. D. 1885, to be observed as "Arbor Day." The result of these annual periods of tree planting for the past eleyen years can be seen on every hand. The once treeless prai ries are dotted with young forests, and there is scarcely a village, or a homestead, or-a habitation, however lowly, in the State, that has not its complement of tree, shrub or vine, the result of honest toil on the day set apart as Arbor Day. This is well. There should bo no decrease in the number of trees planted each year, no discontinuance in the work of beauti fying the home, no suspension of the observance, of Arbor Day, which is now the legal holiday of the Nebras ka husbandman. William Clabk, living near Nod away station, about thirteen miles from St. Joseph, Mo., committed the other night a horrible triple murder and then killed himself. The trouble grew out of the seduction of Anna, tho young daughter of Mrs. Josephine Harden, a widow lady, by Clark. He was making an effort to settle the matter for money and having failed to effect it for $300, and being under the influence of liquor, became angry, drew a revolver and shot Mrs. Har den in the bead over the left eye, which caused instant death. His next victim was Anna, whom be shot through the temple. Her wound is pronounced fatal. Then he fired a shot at John, the young son, the ball taking effect in the right cheek, making a terrible wound, which is pronounced not fatal. Clark left im mediately for his home, a few hun dred yards distant, told his wife he was going to feed the stock, and he was afterwards found about 100 yards from bis house, behind a straw stack with a large bullet hole in his fore bead, over the right eye. Clark has a wife and three children. A shocking crime was reported last week from Nameoki, 111., of a colored man by the name of Wtesrins seeking and obtaining the hospitality of another colored man by the name of Williams for lodging over night. After amusing the family with funny stories until a late hour ho drew a revolver and demanded Williams's money. Williams gave him $9.50. He demanded more. The reply was he bad no more when Wiggins shot him twice fatally, and then ihot and killed his little boy and fired two shots at Mrs. Williams, who, however, escaped. At last accounts the mur derer had not been captured. News from London on the loth was that a cabinet counsel was being held. Nothing known of the object, but it was believed to be with refer ence to the Anglo-Russian difficulty. Later. In the cabinet council to-day the Anglo-Russian difficulty it is said, was represented to be as follows: England and Russia have agreed upon a basis for tho delimitation of the Afghan frontier, subject to satisfac tory explanation by Russia of the recent attack on the Afghans. Accord ing to this scheme, it is said Penjdeh will be ceded to Russia provided the ameer consents. The North Platte Telegraph says that no developments are yet made public by the coroner's jury that is investigating the Bascombe tragedy. Something is learned nearly every day, however, "that leads to the con viction of the wretch who perpetrated that most infamous crime." It is to bo hoped that the fiend will have no chance for escape from the punish ment he so justly deserves. The good people of Nebraska must see to it that such scoundrels be placed where they will never again commit like crimes. A ghastly discovery was made tho other day at the Southorn Hotel in St. Louis of a trunk containing the headless body of a man stowed away at the hotel with a note in the trunk saying, "So perish all traitors to the cause." The room had been ocenpied by Waber H. Lennox Maxwell, M. D., London, England, and C. Arthur Preller, London, England, and a part of the time jointly by both. No full explanation of the horrible, mysteri ous deed has been published. vledgo fifty- e Home Omaha, ss by fire dwelling, s contents, der policy he office ot them of our si adjuster dai' and set- itislaction dwelling, nt iisured on he furni- irovisious, Two young boys while out duck hunting the other day near Lincoln, espied a flock of ducks in Oak Creek and made ready to fire at them. Just as the boy Brunsted pulled the trig ger of his gun, the other boy Connell, who waB standing about ten feet in front of Bumsted and a little to one side, changed his position to get a better sight of the game, and got directly in range of Bumsted's gun. The charge of both barrels struck him in the back of the head, killing him instantly. The Lincoln Journal and the Oma ha Republican never miss a day with out showing their idiotic venom towards Senator Van Wyck. If they expect to defeat him by attacks which everybody can see are purely person al and malicious they are very much mistaken. Unless they can show that he has failed to do his doty as senator or that he has in any way betrayed a trust which the people reposed in him honestly as a public servant, they are not likely to do him much damage. Z?ee. Louisa Hittmann, a faithful and trustworthy domestic at Lincoln, Neb., was pronounced insane the oth er day by a commission and sqpt to the asylum. Such cases are always unfortunato and sad. This victim imagines that she is married, and talks a great deal about her husband. She is also nnbalanced on the subject of religion, and when left alone goes down on her knees frequently in prayer. Maxwell, who is supposed to have murdered Preller in a St. Louis hotel, is believed to have sailed the other day from San Francisco for Sydney. It is known that Maxwell was in need of money, and also that Preller, the victim, sympathised somewhat with the dynamiters, while Maxwell was their bitter opponent. The stomach of Preller was found to contain poison. T IIOW THE -ftor MR FIRE INSURANCE C0HPT. T If !

Inflam atory rheumatism and unfortunate speculations are believed to have prompted him to the deed. Wallace Wallace attempted to board the other day a Union Pacific passenger train as it was approaching Beatrice, Neb., missed his foot-hold, fell under the cars and was instantly killed. Some of the personal friends of Senator Van Wyck, irrespective of politics, tendered him a public ban quet, on his return to Nebraska City. Declining the proffered tribute to his official work, ho says : "The debt of gratitude I owe to the people of Nebraska can never be paid. I may not accomplish all they expect or that I sincerely desire, but I will never knowingly desert what I be lieve to be to their interests, and betray principles lying at tho founda tion of their prosperity." Mrs. Koch of Minden died re cently of that dreadful disease, trichinosis, caused by eating raw pork. IVevra Notes. Female burglars are operating in New York.

Last week some cow-boy shot one of the settlers named Provence. The settlers are now arming for a determined re sistance, and it is expected that more bloodshed will bo the result. The fence of the stock company iB being torn down and if it is put up again there will doubtless be trouble.

Boyd pulled through for mayor of Omaha, by a very small margin, and whatever power and prestige iB given to the democratic party thereby, for future use, in state and national poli tics, for Boyd wants to be U.

Grand Island Independent. And the case of Bierbower,for in stance, appointed just before Arthur went out of office, may be "an ex ception!" Yes, possibly.

Let Bierbower, by the way, give us that itemized account of those "Mis cellaneous Expenditures." Fremont Herald. Our thanks are due to Mrs. J. G.

The Courier is glad to see that this delectable article is not en tirely exotic to this country, and does not know but that, with the growth of more timber, it may become as much at home here as anywhere. Central City Courier. Last week, on account o f bad work manship and poor material, eight five story buildings in New York city fell down. A large number of men were engaged about the building at work, and it was supposed at the time of the accident that thirteen men were bur ied in the ruins. The wreck was complete, not a stick remaining stand ing, and not a timber whole in the entire row. It is a wise man who seeds his pasture to tame grass. It doesn't pay to pasture four months of the year and feed the other eight, as many Kansas farmers have done the past two years. With tame grass pas tures this order would be reversed and money and labor' saved. Live Stock Journal. These are about ten thousand one legged men in the United States.

The Fremont butter and egg com pany, on Saturday, shipped a car load of butter and eggs to Denver, and to day sent another car load of tho same kind of goods to San Francisco. As there are over thirteen thousand dozens of eggs in a car load we draw the conclusion that there are several hens in this part of Nebraska. Tom Turner has arrived home from Chicago, where he went with ten cars of sheep on Friday. On the way to Chicago the sheep were taken through from Fremont, over the S. C. & P. and C. & N.
