Late news from London says a special dispatch from Tirpul reports the Russians occupying Akhdteh and nctually at work making a military road from Penjdeh to Herat. Iv the bill to refund the direct war tax levied in 18G2 should become a law, the twenty-eight states now unit ed in securing the passage of such a bill would recover about .vu,uw,wu.

Ho was 00 years old. lf.m-i news from London states that the situation appears to be very serious. It look as if Russia desires war, and aB if England will be com pelled to accept a challenge to fight.

David City Tribune. One of tho editors of the Omaha llcpublican has been bounced for haying a lew wordH favorable to President Cleveland. Now if the rest were dismissed for endorsing Boyd, national democratic committee man, another good service would be performed. Fremont Tribune. In the present titno of "unproved" wisdom and intelligence among dem crats, especially those of Louisiana, aro irritated at the course adopted by President Cleveland, and in an inter view the other day Senator Eustis said that trom a democratic stand point the President thus far "has been a conspicuous and humiliating fail ure." President Cleveland has pur chased a snlendid pair of seal-brown carriage horses, at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., for a fancv price. They are mod els of form, with long, silky tails, and come from the old Hamboltonian stock. Mr. Arthur's, which the Pres ident has been using since March 4th, will bo forwarded to their obliging owner at once.

Four cars were loaded with hogs, many of which were killed, and occupants of the cabooses received severe bruises. At Holden one child was killed and considerable damage done. Politicians mnst bear in mind that the men in official life who have come near to expressing and voting the people's will are the ones to be nom inated to office. Those who have no official conscience, so to speak, but consider public office as an oppor tunity to acquire private gain, are not tho men for people to select, but those who really wish to work in the interests of the" community at large. The Omaha Herald remarks that "Mr. Wyman left so much money in tho treasure under a republican sys tem of jobbiusr tariff and other forms of taxation that it will lake three weeks to count it." Weil thi is a hard hit at the roub.uao pnrty.

How it Ioolct. The latest word from the old coun try may be summarized in the expres sion of the dailies that peace is uow rather more likely than war, and that it is difficult to say on what grounds the opinion is based. It may be added that on general principles war iB not the thing it used to be. In these times a contest between two great powers like England and Russia would cost billions of treasure, tens of thousands of lives, and bring sor row to myriads of fireside. Instru ments and appliances for war are now so terribly destructive that nations may well hesitate before they venture upon tho uncertain issued of battle. It seems to be the policy of England's great premier to exhaust every art of diplomacy in finding a peaceful jet honorable solution of difficulties, but the meanwhile prepare lor the in worst. His course 1ms beau in keep ing with his character, and commends itself to the eulightened judgment ot tho civilized world. Hydrophobia.. Jerry L. Farthing, the Cedar Creek grain buyer, exhibited his nerve and presence of mind in a trying situa tion last week. The citizens of that little village had sighted a mad dog and started in pursuit, Farthing among the rest, and the latter whip ped out his revolver and shot the vicious canine juBt as he was in the act of leaping at old Mr. Inhelder. It was a good shot, and anything but a ringer would have resulted dis astrously to the old gentleman. Mad dogs are reported to be fright fnllv numerous in the vicinity of Manley, Cedar Creek and Louisville. The farmers should organize a vigi lance committee and dispose of some of their superfluous dogs. Many farmers have lost valuable horseB and cattle this sprint: from the bite of the mad dog, rendering it necessary to kill tho 6tock. The following paragraph has been going the rounds of the papers: "The people of Tekamah apparently consider Burt county a good place to emigrate from. A party of twenty one have just started to Washington Territory to establish a colony there." Just why this fact should make Burt county a good place to emigrate from i hard to tell. Thoso who were homesteader-? of small means years ago, are now well-to-do, and can Bell out for "big money," and go further west where they can make a new start. The best localities in the world furnish just such good people, and Burt county, (one of the most fertile in this or any other state), is no exception. People go and people come, as recorded in the Burtonian of a recent date : "To ofiVet this there came at one time a colony of forty one to settle in Burt county, besides families constantly arriving." A recent special to the I'ribtiac&l New York from Panama has a very ugly and base charge of calling Americans cowards. It states that the American troops under Com mander McCallti, began to withdraw from the city the other night under an agreement with Aizpurn and the French consul. The evacuation of the city destroys American prestige here. There has been wild rejoicing among the insurgents and the sym pathizers with them. Property owners anticipate serious trouble. The Americans are called cowards and threats are heard on every side. The American troops withdraw to the Panama railway stations. Gen. Aizpuru has guaranteed to preserve order in the city but the insurgents have again begun the work of bar ricading the streets. In a speech at Richmond a few days ago, standing there as a recognized official of the American government which he was Boon to represent abroad. Mr. Keiley, the late min ister to Italy, now transferred to Russia, had the effrontery to refer to this nation au open insult. He said : "I am to-day, as are millions of my countrymen recognizing with fullest loyalty the authority of a government over my own state, founded on what I considered a yross and bloody vio lation of jmblic rights committed against myself and them." Mr. Keiley ought to be transferred again. RuBsia will be too cold for him. There is a country next to Texas in the moral geography where Mr. Keiley would be a good representa tive of his party. Omaha Republican. In speaking of the need of indus trial schools for colored people, the National Baptist 6aya: "It is a strange thing; if a colored man wants to study Latin, Greek, Hebrew, astronomy, metaphysics, theology, he has the best facilities which the world affords, and perhaps haB all free; but if be wauts to learn how to make a boot there is no opening." Isn't it just as strange with refer ence to the education of white peo ple? Tho coming men will demand industrial schools, training schools, more practical methods and more adaptation to tho uses of everyday business. The Nebraska City News and tho Fremont Herald (democratic) aro "moving upon the U. S. marshalship of Nebraska, presumably to capture it for 60ine good democrat of the state. Among other things suggested concerning the conduct of tho office is that public moneys have been used for partizan purposes. They say that in 1SS0 $1,251.05 was paid out for deputy marshals ; that in the exciting campaigu of 1SS2, $11,504.94 was paid out tor the same purpose, and call for names, figures and more information. Judge Neville the other day at Papillion, Neb., by his order had the famous colt, Maxey Cobb, delivered to the court and placed in the poss ession of Hou. A. J. Poppleton, and was taken to his Omaha stables. Mr. Cowin, attorney for the defendants, bays he will yet obtain tho colt from Poppletou, and restore it to the Sarpy county claimants. We desire to call attention to the Home Fire Insurance Company of Omaha. It is purely a Home Com pany, and issues short and easily understood policies, and pays its losses immediately on receipt of proofs of loss. This company issues a farm policy insuring the farmers teams against fire as well as lightning in hiB neighbors farm barnB as well as his own, and against lightning wherever they may be. No other company issues so liberal a policy. The officers of the company are S. H. II. Clark, President, late General Manager U. P. R. R. Fred. Krug, Vice-President, brewer, Chas. W. Hamilton, Treasurer, President U. S. National Bank, Chas. J. Barber, Sec retary. Among its stock holders are the following well known citizens of Columbus: J. W. Early, Esq., A. Anderson, President First National Bank, O. T. Rocn, Cashier First Na tional Bank, J. E. North, of Spcice & North, Attorneys-ai-law, L. H. & E. W. North, Stock Dealers, W. A. Mc Allister, Attorney-at-law. Henry P. Coolidge, Esq., is the agent of the "Home Fire" at Columbus. The " promptness with which the new administration has declared it self unalterably opposed to the intim idation of voters at the polls, and the honest indignation with which it moves upon the works of certain fore men who are suspected of voting their men, regardless of their political predilections, is only matched by the unerring instinct which led them to nose into the crime in the navy yard on Mare island, and not down in Mississippi. Not a case of intimida tion has been remembered iu the south, and Copiah county laughs in her sleeve and the Chisholms' widow and daughter, are to be removed from their clerkships in the treasury de partment. The mugwump is unnat urally jubilant over Mr. Whitney's Mare island pronunciamento. Stale Journal. Railroad rumors on our streets Saturday last were wild and conflict ing. Some said it was the B. & M. officials who were hero and they had concluded to extend their road from Central City to St. Paul and continue up the Loup valley and into Sherman county, while others had it they were U- P. functiouaries who got loose and were about to commence the extcn tion of their road from Fullerton to St. Paul and thence up tho Loup val ley and intersect with the main line at North Platte, and then use the branch for the main line from North Platte to Columbus which would shorten the distance about thirty miles. But whatever their intentions may be, it is true that there were several gontlemen in town, who are authority and move high in official railroad circles. . Paul Free Press. Some attention, we notice, is being paid to druggists in this state selling liquors, and a case has reached the supreme court, iu just what shape we arc not aware, but on an alleged violation of the law, of course. A recent decision contains this lan guage by Judge Maxwell: "A druggist without a permit is absolutely prohibited from selling in toxicating liquors upon any pretext. Such druggist with a permit is equally prohibited from selling ex cept in the bust of faith aud strictly for the purposes specified by law." The specifications arc, for medi cinal, mechanical and chemical pur poses. A register, open at all times to the inspection of the public, must be kept, showing who got liquor and for what purpose. Postmasters have recently been informed by a circular from the PoBtmaster General that on and after July 1st tho rate on all domestic first class matter, including drop letters at letter carrier post-offices, will be 2 cents per ounce or fraction thereof, instead of 2 cents per half ounce. This charge will apply on mail to Canada, but not to other foreign mails. To provide for the wants that may arise from the change in the rate on Becond-class matter or newspapers mailed by publishers from two to otic cent per pound, the department has decided to issue a newspaper and periodical stamp of tho denomination of 1 cent, the design and color of which will be the same as those of the present series. A recent special from Panama to New York states that the Americans have entered the city, 5C0 stroug, and all the American property was occu pied without resistance General Aizpurn and three of bis staff were arrested. He was wild with rage. The rebels were completely surprised, and threatened to burn the city if Aizpurn was not released. Reinforce ments of 500 men have arrived from Colon. Commander McCalla has issued a proclamation taking charge of tho town. The French Consul has issued a violent protest against the action of the Americans. There has been firing. The plaza was cleared by a Gatling gun. One rebel was killed, and three wounded. The other morning at London another explosion occurred in the basement of the admiralty building. The building was badly damaged and many persons injured, among whom aro the head officials of tho depart ments. The explosion was undoubt edly caused by guu-cotton or dyna mite. It occurred in tho secretary's department. Edwin Swainson, tho assistant secretary and principal clerk, received a severe scalp wound and he is suffering from concussion of the brain. No arrests have been made, but tho police think that the explosion was the result of private malice towards Swainson. Thirteen personp, among them being a postmaster and an ex-member of the legislature, were brought prisoners to Oshkosb, Wis., the other day for fishing with nets. Some were fined $50 and costs, and others had their cases continued. Acknowledgement.' New Yoek, April 27. General Grant sends the following for pub lication: "To tho various army posts, so cieties, cities, public schools, states, corporations and individuals, north and south, who have been so kind as to send me congratulations on my C3d birthday : I wish to offer my grateful acknowledgements. The dispatches have been so numerous and 60 touching in tone that it would have been impossible to answer them if I had been in perfect health. U. S. Grant." A messenger came the other morn ing from Middleton's camp and re ported at Clark's Crossings, that wheu the Canadian rebels were out of the brush behind a ravine cheering and jeering the troops, the guns were ordered up to drive them off, but that they captured one medicine chest and a few boxes of canned beef. He also reported that the officers would not allow him to come down on the east side, as there weie rebels in the wood at Mcintosh. Middleton seems to be unable to accomplish auythiug in the way of an advance on the rebels. It is understood he is hampered by the necessity of caring for the wounded, and having supplies and ammunition forwarded. It is reported that his brush with the half-breeds narrowly escaped being a disaster. The Cana dians lost twelye killed and fifty wounded, some of them fatally. A band of masked robbers on horse back stopped a train shortly before midnight one night last week near Harrodsburg, Ind., and compelled the engineer and fireman to leave their engine. The messenger was covered with a revolver, but refused to open the safe and was shot dead. The safe was broken open, but found to con tain only four hundred dollars. The scene of tho robbery is among hills aud stonequarries and tho region thinly settled. Another account states that it was no armed band of men who stopped the train but a sin gle tramp, armed with a heavy hick ory club and with the messenger's pistol, which he secured, did the shooting. Dayis and Webber, express messenger aud basrascman, it is thought will die. It is believed the robber got at least $1,200. How to Ilnild Houses. The publisher has sent us a copy of a new book, with the above title. It contains plans and specifications for twenty-five houses of all sizes, from two rooms up. Also engraving-, showing appearance of houses built from the plans given. In addition, it gives the quantity of material re quired to construct the houses; has valuable information on subjects re lative to building and building con tracts, and much information of per manent and practical value, that cannot fail to bo of value to those who intend to build. It will be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of 25 cents, by Geo. W. Ogil vie, 230 Lake Street, Chicago, III. IcnionerN Suspended. Washington, April 28. The com missioner of pensions to-day dir ected the suspension at the Philadel phia agency of 102 pensions, which have been drawn, although tho pen sioners are dead. In some cases, the commissioner says, the persons in whose names pensions were drawn have been dead since 1871. He has alpo directed tho Pupension at tho same agency of pensions to seven widows who re-married in 1881, but who have continued to draw pensions since. The commissioner has asked the attorney-general to bring suit against the pension ageut for moneys so unlawfully disbursed. The B. & M. lands in Antelope county have all beeu graded, and aro to be put upon the market May 1st. Sales will commence at Neligh, Fri day, May 1st, and continue two days. They will then open in Oakdale, Monday, May 4th, and continuo three or four dayp, after which time offices will be opened in both places for the salo of the lands undisposed of. These lands comprise over 50,000 acres of the best soil in northern Nebraska, and as the terms are favorable they should go off like hot cakes. Ewing Item. The names of tho eleven miners supposed to have been swept into eternity tho other night by a snow slide at Homestake mine on Home stake mountain on the Eagle river in Colorado, are Martia Borden and his brother Sylvester, of Nova Scotia; Horaco W. Matthews and his brother Joses, of Iowa; John Lock and John Burns, of England; Charles Richards, Nova Scotia ; Chris. Harvey,. Lcad ville; Robert Campbell, Red Cliff; John Burns, San Francisco, and one unknown. This item comes from Dakota. A hut went floating down the Missouri past Bismarck the other day, and attention was attracted to it by the howling of a dog inside. Upon ex amination a dead man was found within, who had evidently frozen. A card bearing tho name of Mrs. J. H. Stone, aud a torn envelope with the words Philadelphia, Pa., were the only indications of identity. An inquest was held tho other day at Chicago on the body of Mrs. J. J. Shay, who died in a chair in Dr. W. E. Day's office while under tho in fluence of chloroform. The verdict of tho jury was that the deceased came to her death from the effects of chloroform, charged Dr. Day with gross negligence and criminal care lessness, and recommended that he be held to the grand jury. Four iuches of snow fell on the night of the 27th ult. at Woodstock, N. B. This adds greatly to the dam age done by tho freshet on the St. Johns river. Railroad and other bridges are being washed away and the flood is the most disastrous known tor fifty years. i Cood A sisou Atr Iunrlnj with tie Clonic I- ire. Because h is purely a Nebrarka company.

Richard Parker, who murdered his employer, a saloon keeper at Great Bend, Kansas, was captured at Kansas City the other day and on his return to Great Bend the train was stopped and a crowd of men took the prisoner from the officers. A rope was lied around his neck and he was then taken to the billiard hall where he committed the murder and hanged to an awning in frout of the building. Mrs. E. Hawley, of Cincinnati, who gave the alarm a few days ago when buruing paper saturated with coal oil was found at her door in the Palace Hotel, has beeu arrested on the charge of arson.and is imprisoned, The evidence against her consists mainly in finding in her room a por tion of one of the newspapers which was saturated with oil and placed in the water cloet. A bill has recently been intro duced into the Illinois legislature by Representative Cleveland to repeal the act incorporating the Chicago Board of Trade. The preamble de clares that the purpose for which the Board of Trade was originally in corporated has been entirely changed and that it has become an institution for the promotion of gambling. News from Nebraska City says that five tramp3 broke into a boot and shoe store the other night at Dunbar. They were discovered in the act r.i carrying out the stock. All ccptd but Jol.u Summers, who was captured, and who is about eighteen years old. He confessed to planning the robbery and is now in jail. The Scientific American estimates the loss of wealth by fire in this conn try by the burning of buildings and their contained property at about $100,000,000 per annum, and the losses of lumber by tho burning of forests at $300,000,000. Could these enormous losses be stopped, the country would soon grow rich. Mrs Granger, a Milwaukee lady, committed suicide the other day by holding her head in a bucket of water; and J. S. Wisner, a patent medicine vender of Quincy, 111., shot himself, first arranging a rope about his neck so that he should be hanged after he loll. IVewN Hfotea.

No man, it is said, can enlist in the regular army of China until ho has shown his courage by having a tooth pulled. A young man named Weiss, near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, shot himself tho other morning iu his father's barn, in a fit of despoudency caused by sickness. A terrible volcanic eruption is re ported in Passawean, a province on the east end of the island of Java. A number of plantations were devasta ted and it is feared fully 100 persons killed. Mrs. Henry Gramlicu, a witness in Judge Harmon's court at Cincin nati, while stepping to tho witness stand, suddenly exclaimed "I am not feeling well," and fell dead from heart disease. Newspapers publish many strange things. An exchange makes mention of an "aristocratic lady," who refuses to read newspapears, magazines, tracts, and ordinary books, because they are made of rags. Max Paulsen, a saloon keeper of Winona, Minn., was shot dead the other night by Jessee P. Neville in a drunken quarrel. The murderer es caped, but is reported that he has been captured near Trempealeau, Wisconsin. The oldest tree on eartb, so far as known, is said to be the "Bo" tree in tho sacred city of Amarapoora, Bur mab. It was planted in 28S B. C, aud is accordingly 2,171 years old.

Alienation, hard feelings and law suits may be the consequence of such carelessness.
