The Nebraska Farmer lifta warn ing voice to the people of the state in regard to hog cholera and glanders. A proposition not made public has been accepted by the Chicago street car drivers and the strike probably ends. We learn that James T. Allan is making a tour of the fruit counties of Nebraska to secure exhibitions for the state fair. We notice that "general cussed ness" is one of the charges against James Morris of the Valentine land office by the Gordon Press. The gross earnings of the Union Pacific railway for five months past was $9,000,000; increase in the surplus earnings for five months, $833,000. Mb. Smith, a school teacher from Bennett, was drowned on the Fourth while bathing in the mill pond at Roca, Neb. He leaves a wife and one child. Under the laws of Kentucky they sell the services of colored people convicted of vagrancy at public auc tion, by the sheriffs of the several couatiea of the Btate. The President has appointed Judge Lambert Tree of Illinois, minister to Belgium. Judge Tree was the stron gest opponent in the recent senatorial contest against Gen. Logan. En. Mulloy attempted to jump on a freight train the other day at Fre mont, Neb., fell under the train and was crushed in a terrible manner, from which injuries he died in a short time. The Omaha Herald's correspond ent is authority for saying that Sher win and Smails of Fremont were rather coldly received by Prcsidenl Cleveland when they recently called on him. The New York Tribune says that in 1840, when the cholera raged ter ribly in Paris, Ivy., a family of thirty persons there who took the precau tion to eat only cooked food and boiled water were entirely exempt. West Point Progress: "We under stand that a Lincoln firm has offered to put in water works at a cost not to exceed $11,500, which will cover the entire city. The town board will probably advertise for bids next week." Mrs. Dudley wan up again in court the other day. The court re fused to grant the motion to transfer the prisoner to an EiiHhu asylum, and determined l lint she be "out to the Middletou aylum to be confined indefinitely. Governor Dawks is already pre paring to launch a lit:le senatorial barque. Don't do it, governor. The Nebraska City leviathan id in the sen atorial seaa, and Im-i thus early car ried down several little ''whaling" boats. Papillion Times. The Papillion Times is evidently not very deeply impressed with the utility ot a special veterinary surgeon. It tays that Dr. Geiih has visited Sarpy couutv, pronounced the disease among hogs there cholera, said it was incurable, and adds: "tanners in this county had learned that much long ago." A special has been received at St. Louie from Auckland, which announ ces the arrival there of the police de partment messengers sent from here a month ago and the acknowledgment of the requisition for Maxwell, who murdered Prellcr. The officers will return with Maxwell by the steamer which rails from New Zealand on July 21. Saliskury the other afternoon in the House of Lords stated that he would continue the policy of Glad stone in regard to the negotiations with Russia. In the course of his remarks he S3id he must ask their lordships not to attach too much im portance to these negotiations as fiual and conclusive, even when concluded, as the whole condition of affairs in Central Asia was very uncertain and unsatisfactory. G. M. Cleveland, Esq., in the O'Neill Frontier, reads a lecture ou the tendencies of the present admin istration with particular reference to such scabs as John C. Santee who, it is said, recently declared (evidently for the purpose of being retained iu office) that he had voted for Cleveland, when during the campaign he pro fessed to be for Blaine. Nebraska soil ought not be congenial to the growth of such political plants. Hon. John A. Bingham, for many years U. S. Minister to Japan, is ex pected home soon, with his family. Mr. Bingham was appointed by Pres ident Grant, and retaiued by Hayes, Garfield and Arthur. The Japan Jfail praises him very highly, and in a lengthy article gives an insight into the reasons for "the unbounded pop ularity enjoyed by the retiring Euvoy in' all intelligent Japanese circles in the capital, and the regret with which bis departure will be witnessed." Thb recent heavy rains in Kansas have iu many places raised the fet reams of water to a flood ou the low-lauds and bottoms, and especially along the water courses the water is very high. The damage c ciops, bridges and stock will be immense. Hundreds of acres of wheat In the shock in the Neosho river bottoms were swept away. Master Mechanic Phillips of the Missouri Pacific rail way, Morris Goss and Jake Jones of Parsons, Kansap, while attempting to croM the flooded creek, were drawn alter s culvert and drowned. Xfce CtoMTict'a Karalac. One of the strongest motives to actuate a good man iu the line of duly is the welfare of his family and of those dear to him, but it may well be questioned whether, in criminals, this natural affection is not more or less destroyed. However this may be, it has long been noted that public opin ion tends toward preserving, as much as possible, the natural relations be tween component members of civil society. On this basis, it is evident that there should be a radical change in our laws with reference to the sup port of the families of men convicted of crime and sentenced to imprison ment in jails or penitentiaries. In order that a man be punished for his crime, why is it necessary that wife and children be whollv robbed of his power to serve them, especially when this can be done not only without in jury to the community, bat with last ing benefit to all concerned? Of course no mere money consideration can recompense the state for the in jury done it by the commission of a crime, and the state might, in justice, as against the criminal alone, demand every cent of bis earnings, but it is not supposed that the state is in the punishment business as a money making scheme, but simply to rid civilized society of a nuisance, an in tolerable enemy, but every consider ation of humanity, it seems to us, points to at least a partial support of tho family of the criminal by his earnings, over and above the cost of his ktiep. It is true there arc some seemingly plausible objections to this, among which may bo named these: some men, criminally inclined, may be held in check by the thought of how it may affect their family aud relatives ; some women, contemplating marriage may think twice before they accept the proffer of a man who may proba bly, possibly, become a criminal ; doubtless, many conscientious mar ried couples have contemplated di vorce as desirable, but have been deterred lroni it by a thought of its effect upon innocent offspring, and may it not be that the rocking scale of judgment iu the mind of the would be criminal haa often been turned toward virtue's side by this weight? Who can tell ? Giving these objections all their force, they seem to us to fall short of the high motive which should actuate a civil community, viz, the real and lasting good of all concerned. Briefly stated, the foundation facts are: the man who commits a crime should be withdrawu from the society of law abiding men aud women, because he has, by his acts, showu himself inca pable of observing that first of all precepts, "Give every one his own," for the very "existence of society de pends upon the condition that the rights of all shall be respected;" that enforced withdrawal of an unworthy member of society should be such as to work the least possibly injury to worthy members. The Ntorra Eat. The storm that occurred the other night at Sparta, Wis., was very severe and frightful. The roof was blown from the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul depot aud from several build ings. The 6teeple was blown from the Baptist church aud the belfrey from the Catholic church. Gla?H windows were blown in, and chimneys innu merable decapitated. The storm with more or less violence extended all tho way to Milwaukee. At Detroit the storm did great damage, by unrooting buildings aud seriously injuring tim ber and orchards. At Oshkosh many houses were unroofed and barns and fences demolished. St. Paul's church aud exposition building were de stroyed. At Madison the spire was blown from "the Presbyterian church and several residences unroofed. The storm passed north of Monticello, Minn , aud was accompanied by an ominous-looking cloud, and was watched by everyone iu town. The cloud was funnel-shaped, and a it danced across the prairie, now tear ing up dirt from the ground and agaiu rising some distance in the air, it created a peculiar scene. A house between Big Lake aud Becker, was struck and nothing was left to tell where it stood, pieces of timber and furniture being scattered along the prairie. Some distance further on an old stable was picked up by the cloud and carried away. A little child play ing in a yard was picked up and car ried some distance, bnt landed near a fence unharmed, save a few scratches. The Omaha JtejmbUcan is seem ingly thankful to us tor calling its attention to the strictures of the Nor folk 2Tcics on its article with refer ence to Van Wyck's speaking at Norfolk. The JtejmbUcan affirms, "our original informants arc men who do not lie, aud wo reported them with exactness." It is now of no special consequence except that it seemed to many an outrageous and uutruthtul attack upon the Senator. If it was inteuded as a gratuitous advertise ment of Van Wyck, to draw a large crowd to Norfolk.it was a success, for we are told there were about eight thousand people there. Twelve companies of infantry have been ordered to the front from the department of the Platte to the Indian territory. After receiving the order, and within four hours, three companies had packed their kits, marched in five miles from Fort Omaha and started south on a special train. Three companies will go from Fort Sidney, four from Russel and two from Steele. Gen. P. H. Sheri dan has been ordered to the location of the troubles to advise with and direct those in command as to the steps to be taken to prevent disorder and depredations by the Indians. The new town of Dawes City has been located on White river, at the mouth of Ash creek, ten miles west, of Chadron. IVetice f Ca-a4Mtes for Mil itary AcadeMy. Fremont, Neb., July 3d, 1885. Having been requested by the Hon orable Secretary of War to nominate a candidate for appointment as cadet to the Military Academy at West Point, I respectfully invite all can didates for this appointment to appear for examination before a committee that will meet in Fremont on Wed nesday, August 12th, 1885. Candi dates must be over seventeen and under twenty-two years of age and physically sound in every respect. Only those who have been actual bona fide residents of the Third Con gressional District of Nebraska for over one year are eligible for ap pointment. An alternate will also be appointed who will be admitted to the Academy in case he should pass a satisfactory examination and the candidate should fail. Cadets must report at West Point on the 28th day of August, 1885. Information regarding qualifica tions etc., will be given on application to those who intend to appear before the committee. Geo. W. E. Dorsey. Papers in District please copy. Two years ago a couple of young boys, by the names of Aleck and George Quiggle, aged respectively thirteen and eighteen years, walked into this office and informed the pro prietor that they wanted to buy a farm. Of course, being so young a great mauy questions were asked the boys as to their object iu buying a farm so young, and how they were going to meet the' payments. To the first question they said they wanted to put their money where it would do them some good, instead of scat tering it to the four winds like some boys. To the second question, said they intended to work out and meet the payments. They have been as good as their word, have worked, saved their wages and met every pay ment promptly. The land eighty acres, is situated about four miles southeast of this place. They paid $5.50 per acre and it has doubled in value. It can easily be seen what a sensible investment the boys have made. They are bright, intelligent, and transact business with all the wit aud energy of a New York banker. Tbey have started out on the right road, young, and if they "fight it out on that line" iu the years to come, a prosperous future awaits them. Iihie Bill Times. Japan is made up of a chain of vol canic mountains, aud the arable laud of the empire is officially put at 11, 215,000 acres less tbau one-half the area of the state of New York and this is so fertile aud thoroughly cul tivated that it feeds a population of 37,000,000 about that of France. Rice is one of the principal crops, and ot this ronu- 200,000,000 hushels are rais ed annually. Hand labor is generally used, and two or three crops n ear are raised on the frame land. Artifi cial irrigation is general, being neces hary over one-half of the cultivated laud, aud frequently the water is takeu from streams from twenty to thirty miles distant. The total num ber of horned cattlu is 1,115,000, and of horses 1,605,000. Wood of all kiuds is. cheap and abundant, nearly all the building? being of timber, aud wood constituting the principal luel ; the area of forest land id nearly three times a great as that under culti vation. Ex. Human depravity has a fierce illus tration iu nearly every daily paper that is picked up. Here is a sample from Minneapolis, Minn. : "The officer found that Harry Gates a boy 12 years old, had been hung by the wrists from the second story win dow of the house by his step-mother, becanse. as 6hc claims, he is incorri gible. When the lad waa cut dow.n he had been banging there about' an hour, and was nearly unconscious. The rope had cut into his wrists and the heat of the sun on the side of the house had nearly cooked him Al though an aggravated case, it is prob able nothing will be done to punish the woman, as she and her husband have promised to take better care of the boy in the future." W. H. Mead left at this office some sample heads taken from his timothy field on his farm iu Saunders county, some of them measuring eight inches in length. . He has a forty-acre field ot it, with some clover mixed, which he says will yield three tons of bay per acre. This tells its own story. It proves what must be plaiu to every one that tame grasses will grow here equal to any other place in the world, and that our farmers are beginning to realize it is evident by the fact that Fremont merchants have this season sold twice as large quantities of seeds as ever before. Fremont Tribune. Some scoundrel tried Monday night week to set fire to the Windsor Hotel at Scribner. He had placed a bottle of oil at a corner of the building, sur rounded it by combustibles, and ap plied a match. The wind blew con trary to the wretch's calculations, which was all that saved the building. Twenty-seven persons were sleeping in the hotel at the time, says the Fre mont Tribune. It ought to be, on positive proof, a capital offence to commit such a crime, or that of bur glary, because in either case murder is one of the probable consequences. Ov tho mornin? of the 4th the National flag hung at half mast on the city hall at Salt Lake, county court house, Desert ITeics office, Mormon Tabernacle, church tithing office, John Taylor's residence, the Mormon church offices, and the Salt Lake theatre. This insult offered to the old flag nearly caused a collision be tween the Mormons and Gentiles and had it nOt beeu for the prudent man agement of the case by the United States marshals a deadly combat wonld have taken place. - A mad hcrculcs by the name of S. Melvin of Kentucky, became sudden ly ferocious the other day at North Vernon, Ind., and held at bay all the farm wagons that were coming into town. He upset one wagon, injured the horses and cut and carved up the driver with a knife. Finally three men closed in on 'him and a desperate struggle ensued. A blow from one of the men brought him to the ground and they tied him with a rope and carried him away in a spring wagon . Fully 500 people watched the exciting scene. A late timber culture ruling of the new land commissioner says that tim ber culture tracts must be totally void of timber, reversing the decision of the late administration to the effect that timber sufficient for firewood for all the occupants was no bar to the entry. The decision grew out of a case in the Black Hills, where a case has been re-opened which was decid ed four weeks ago. There is great' excitement oyer the result, and will be here if Secretary Lamar affirms the decision of the commissioner. Chadron Journal. Patronize the merchants who ad vertise liberally, as they are generally the ones who have an interest in building up the town, and are gen erally the most liberal in their deal ings. A man who is too economical to let people know he desires their patronage is generally too much on the "make" to sell goods as cheaply as those who are reaching out after new customers, aud who prefer to turn the "nimble shilling." Ex. Edward Finch, aged 75, his sister, aged 80, and a negro boy were mur dered the other night near Moncure, N. C. They were knocked in the bead with an ax and their throats cut. Several hundred dollars is reported to have been stolen from the house of Finch. One of the murderers was caught with his bands still red with the blood of the victims. All departments in the Cleveland, Ohio, Rolling Mills were idle the other day, except the plate mill hands, who are not affected by the strike. The wire mill men held a meeting, decided to quit work and they accordingly marched ont 800 strong. Tho total number of men on the strike will reach 15,000. The "midnight Bun," aB it is called, is seen at its best on the longest day of the Northeru Hemisphere, which occurred on Juue 21. It is due to the declination of the earth's axis, which is 23,'J degrees from the perpendicu lar, allowing the sun's rays to pass uninterruptedly that distance beyond the pole. The jury iu the case of Filippo Caruso's murderers at Chicago have returned a verdict of guilty against Seagardo and Silvest i i of the crime of murder, while Bove and Mercuric, their alleged co-conspiiators, were pronounced guilty. The two mur derers will receive the death penalty. S. H. II. Clack, late general man ager of the U. P. R. R is president of the Home Fire Insurance Company, Fred.

An Oregon man has hollowed out the stump of a huge tree in the fash ion of a room, cut a door and window in it, and has there taken up his abode. The settlements ou the Mancos and Dolores in Colorado are threatened with a raid by the Utc Indians. The governor of the state has been applied to for military help. A rocket the other day struck in the loading department of the Rem ington arms works at Utica, N. Y., causing a fire which destroyed $100, 000 worth of property. Mrs. Lewis Steele, married only two weeks ago, was found dead in her bedroom at Ition, N. Y., the other day with a bullet wound in her tem ple. Suicide is supposed to be the caue. Rev. Thomas B. Lee, Methodist clergyman, and an old and esteemed citizen of Springfield, HI., cut his throat the other day. Mental aber ration from nervous prostration was the cause. Miss Brown of Concord, a gradu ate of the Harvard Annex, this year astonished the faculty by her high per cent in the classes. Her average is higher than that reached by any of the young men iu college. It is stated that the suspicious cases at the Cape Charles quarantine hos pital are reported as being typhoid malarial instead of yellow fever. In formation has also been received that cholera is decreasing in Calcutta. John Young, a native of Illinois, aud Charles Johnson, a Dane, were drowned the other evening while bathing iu a bayou near Culbertson, Neb. Their bodies were recovered about 9 o'clock -the same evening. Charley Kilpatrioc. only son of Thos.

Think of the joys, if you let it alone; A wife's fond kiss, and undying love, A bright fireside, and happy home. When once jou drink it, There's no joy left for you; For you shall be unhonored, Degraded and unnoticed too. But when once you drink the tempter, There is not one ray of I'sht; For it will be one daf k day, And your young life a blight. For you will ever be, Where the tempter stand.-; To lu;e you on and on, Till he has bound you with his iron bands. For when once iu ha's bound you. You can never more be free": You will alwais be unhouori-d, Snrlt -h:ill Hit- life of a drunkard be. Itut you nrwr see the destroyer. Till he hold? ou l'a-t within his hold; And then i u wish you had let it alone, And roiiL-'on iu the paths of old. Itut thatca m-ver be, For you will ever wish for more; Anil you still will drink it. Till you land upon the other shore. Say "I will never know the destroyer," And that vow try to maintain; It will give you light aud joy, Aud &ave you from endless pain. 1 have seen a man, standing. Within the ale-house door; Auit a little girl came there, And begged of him to take no more. How many hearts wcie breaking. How mauj mouths went unfed; How many prayers they offered. How many tears they shed. He was a murderer, Buthe knew it not; Better than his wife Does he love the foamy pot. Intemperance is an evil habit, It takes your sense and brain ; And when it takes you. You can never go agaiu. It steals your money and your brain; And all that you have got; It makes you a thief and a murderer. But you know it not. For you murder them, Your children and your wife; You give them nothing, Not even the necessities of life. Your children sutler much, And your wife still more; She would rather die than see You enter the ale house door. For it is the gateway to-death, Which you walk through; You wouid never enter if you saw the end. You would not enter if you only knew. But alas! too many do not see it, Too many do not stop to think; You take another glass, And it adds one more link. To the chain which is to bind you. With his vice-like clasp, For it is death, and you Can never break from his iron grasp. And yet you do not see the end, And you take still more; You thitik there is no harm in it, But beholds you faster than before. For he will lure you on and on. Saying "Come and take this wine;" It will make your heart beat highly. Ard your eye will brightly shine. Where are your wife and children. At home crying for bread; You have money enough. But still they'go unfed. For you love the destroyer. Better than your children or wife; Your money buys death for you, But for them it would buy life. You enter the portals of death, And say. "Give me a jj lass" of wine; I am rich. J can pay for it, For all the joys are mine." Alas! you know not, What these joys will lead to ; They will lead to sin aud death, And that is where these paths will lead you. But before you take it, Always stop to muse; See what evils there is in it, See if it has any use. Then I am sure that you, Will see it in its true light; You Will have saved yourself from ruin, And at once have ended the fight. When intemperance seizes you, It will hold you forever. You can never break awav. lour no mi 3 you can never sever. But if you resist to tempter, Forever, and with all your might, You will soon overcome him, And put him to llight. Although he is mighty, Mightier yet are you; Although he is strong, You can be strong too. If be can not overcome you, Ue soon will fly away; Leaving you with all your power, And mastir of the day. For you will conquer him, Because you are with the Right; Fight the tempter manfully, And Right, will put Wrong to night. Shun, oh! shun the enchanted bowl, Although It now appears like joy; Fall not into its meshes, For it lures bnt to destroy. NOTICE.
