It is reported that Mayor Harrison

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.

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.

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.

DODGE COUNTT.
From the Fremont Herald.
Arthur Truosdoll has just received
a nice bunch of prairie grass of this
season's growing from Antelope
Creek, 150 miles west of Valentino.
It is five or six inches high.
Chauncey Beebe and family will
move from this city to Chadron, in
the White River country, to reside
permanently. They have long been y'
residents of Fremont and vicinity,
and have hosts of friends here wh
are sorry to learn of their departure.
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. W., and unloaded in the
stock yards there in just 28 hours,
which is the fastest time wo have
heard of so far. The sheep were fed
just northwest of the city on the
Beebe farm during the winter, and
were in prime condition. They
brought $6.09 a head.
