Maxwell the murderer of Preller at St. Louis has indicated another line of defense. It is now stated that Preller was troubled with insomnia and that Maxwell had prescribed chloroform for him on several occas ions and with benefit, aud that on this occasion he had taken or had admin istered to him an overdose with fatal result's. The Burtonian of Tekamah pub lishes Rev. Geo. H. Hastings alia Thornton, Maynard, Hargrove?, Ac, as a fraud and hypocrite, .whose secret sins fonnd him out there "as elsewhere. He was detected in mail ing an anouymous, malicious and obscene letter be had written to a lady, and, while arrangements were being made to escort him out of town on a rail, he' hired a buggy and left.

Judging from the language need in bis proclamation, he seems tied ia his purpose to execute the refers issued. It will be well for every one interested in hie special roan tm aete taa fact. The WL, M CeaanaiMlea. Some of our brethren of the Ne braska press are indulging in levity with regard to the work of the rail road commission. They have, in their mind's eye, the first report of the com mission after their trip over the B. & M. system, and they are pointing, not with pride, but with the finger of derision, to the seeming trifles of the complaints and recommendations which the commission have seen proper to lay before the people of the state. This is hardly the course to pursue. What seems, when read at a distance, to be a trivial matter, is often a vital thing to those immediately concerned. If the commission is to be anything or do anything, it must do its work as prescribed by the law. It is plain to see that, from the start, there seem ed a prevalent opinion against the commission, in that it was regarded as a sort of "bumper'' between the people and the companies, and as a scheme tho least objectionable to the companies of any that might be sug gested, looking toward legislative control of railroads, a confession of the inevitable, but a putting off of the day of reckoning. It may turn ont that this is the case. But, in the meantime, let due and proper credit be given the commission for what they do actually accomplish. Nebraska people are not to be de ceived. There are no three or six or twelve men can be brought to gether in the state who can convince the great body of our farming and business community that the trouble does not lie in freight rates. We do not say that other matters are no account, but here is the work shop for this commission, and by their ability and desire to cope with this branch of their duties, will their use fulness be measured. The commission have mado some mention of freight rates, suggesting, at least, that something is wrong when the companies do not lay down coal at non-competing paints at a rate low enough to Indnce people to burn it instead of corn, and we may well wait patiently awhile and see what is to be. The field is large, the opportunity to gather information good, and wo could hope that some good iu the way of cheaper rates for freight might come out of it all. Let the Commission labor and let the rest of us wait a little wbilo longer. The recent opinion of Chief Justice Cobb rendered in the Supreme Court of the State of Nebraska in the case of the State on the relation of F. W. Mattson against the Republican Val ley Railroad, is a very important one in the fact that it is the first of the kind ever given by the Supreme Court of this State, aud in the further fact that it makes the most extreme ap plication of the common law to the railroads as common carriers, ever made by any Supreme Court in the United States. The application was made to the Court for a writ of man damus requiring the respondent, the Republican Valley R. R. Co., to build within the corporate limits of Blue Springs a depot, and to lay down the necessary side tracks and switches and to stop its trains thereat for the necessary transaction of business. The opinion of Chief Justice Cobb as announced and published in the State Journal is quite lengthy and we give only the Judge's concluding remarks in which be says: "We have upon thorongb examination of the evidence and consideration of the same, togeth er with argoments therein, as well at the bar as in the exhaustive printed briefs of counsel, found both of these questions for the relator. A peremp tory writ will therefore issue sub stantially as prayed for, with costs. A xiYSTEBious explosion occurred the other day on the Bteamer"S. M. Felt on," just after she loft the dock at Philadelphia on a trip to Wilming ton, Del., loaded with men, women and children. The entire forward part -of the vessel above water line was badly damaged and a number of persons injured, some severely. The pilot house and upper deck was lifted and fell to the lower deck. The bow was completely wrecked. There .were over two hundred people on board of the boat at the time of the explosion. Tugs came to their relief and the injured, with others were soon removed. The cause of the ex plosion is no! yet known but it is believed to have been dynamite or gunpowder placqd under the head of the boiler maliciously. Detectives have been put on the case. Police Lieut. Michael Mullen has received a- full pardon signed by President Cleveland. Mullen was convicted of -having locked up, the night before the presidential election, over one hundred negroes, and de taining them nntil after 6 o'clock p. m. the following day, when all were released, as no charge was brought against any of them. This was a violation of the federal election laws and he was sentenced to one year's imprisonment which com menced in January. We are sorry to note the fact that offensive partisan ship don't seem to work on both sides alike with the President The State Begister published at Desoto, Iowa, reports the finding the other morning of the dead body of Mrs. Harrison in an unused well. It is believed Mrs. Harrison was mur dered and her dead body concealed in the well. There had been some trouble in the family relations on account of the presence of a Mrs. Lowrey, to whom- Mrs. Harrison ob jected. Since the finding of the body of Mrs. Harrison it is reported that Mrs. Lowrey bad committed suicide by drowning herself in a well. Miss Abelade Radolph, of Cleve land, Ohio, niece of Mrs. Garfield, has recently been chosen professor of Latia ia the Kansas University. Emile Libette, of Terrebonue parish, Louisiana, while engaged in moulding bullets to join a number of friends in target shooting, requested his wife to fill his powder horn. While engaged in filling the horn a spark from the fire-place was blown by a gust of wind from an open door to the powder, which ignited and a terrible explosion followed. The roof was blown oft' the house, three chil dren instantly killed and the mother received such injuries that before many hours she, too, was dead, while the father and two other children were badly wounded. A terrible accident occurred at the residence of N. B. Rankin near Ennis, Tex., the other night. Rankin being unwell, sent his two young daughters to the garret to draw some liquor from a barrel there. Holding a candle near the faucot of the barrel caused au explosion, killing one of the girls and fatally burning the oth er, who soon after died. The house, with its contents, was burned to the ground. Rankin and wife are dan gerously prostrated from the effects of the calamity. The Blue Hill Times nays: "All our farmers seem to be extremely happy this year. They have been blessed with bountiful harvest of all kinds of small grain which is all in the slack and some of it has been threshed and an excellent quality is reported. The corn crop is going to be the heaviest for years ; in fact, the yield will be simply immense, which means wealth for the farmer and wealth to them means better times r all of us as we are all dependent rn the farmer. News comes from Shawnee, Ohio, stating that between 1 and 2 o'clock the other morning an effort was made to assassinate the family of Hugh Kinney by throwing a hand grenade or bomb into the sleeping chamber. The windows were shattered, the walls were wrecked and large holes torn in the floor. Mr. and Mrs. Kin ney both received bad injuries,wheth er fatal or not is not known at this writing. Jarvis Snyder, wife and daughter, W. Heffron and G. Hansen started across the Columbia river at Cascade Locks in a sail boat. The wind died down and the pair of small oars which they had were useless. The boat was carried over the rapids aud all the occupants dashed against the rocks and drowned. The boat was picked up below the rapids, but bodies recovered. no Isaac Coe, of Coe & Carter, Omaha, very extensive stock raisers iu the northwest, met with a very serious accident the other day on Soldier creek, Idaho Ty., by the accidental discharge of his shot-gun while plac ing It iu his buggy, the entire load taking effect in the right band which was badly lacerated and the arm shattered to the elbow. Wm. Clark, of Evansvllle, Ind., stabbed Jacob Vorhis the other morning, from the effects of which he died in two hours. The stabbing oc curred at Vincennes, Ind., and grew ont of some personal difficulty be tween the yonng men, which resnlted in a fight when Clark treacherously struck his knife to Vorhis's heart. Clark is at large. Newt ftotew. Laurel Hill, Pa., is said, to be 2,500 above the sea level. Gold bullion reaches an annual product of 1400,000 iu Georgia. A light frost was reported on the nlpht of the 14th inst., at East Tawas, Michigan. Over fifty musical compositions, concerning him, have been put on the market since Gen. Grant's death. Portland, Oregon, is about to have some of her streets paved with granite brought from Hong Kong for the purpose. Mrs. Isabella Law, an old lady of Pittsburg, says she cooked the dinner for Lafayette when he visited that city in 1825. John G. Burkhardt, a German printer from Atchison, Ks., was slugged aud robbed the other morn ing at Hastings. For the first time the first piize for singing a the Paris Conservatoire has been won by a young English lady. Miss Moore. Dr. Metcalfe, superintendent ol of the Rock wood (Ont.) Asylum, who was stabbed the other day by a luna tic, has sincedied. The English, stimulated by Russian enterprise in tho same direction, are beginning to talk seriously of a rail way from Europe to India. Forty cases of small-pox are re ported at the Montreal hospital. More than one hundred houses are placarded throughout tho city. The export trade in cotton aud dried beef is languishing. Prices were never so low in Europe, and shippers are suffering serious loss. It is stated that about 39,000 bush els No. 2 red wheat were posted on the New York produce exchange the other morning as out of condition. Wm. Carlton, a well known actor, committed suicide the other morning in New York city by turning on the gas and shotting off all ventilatiou in his room. Henry Bechtle, of Omaha, com mitted snicide the other morning near Ft. Omaha, by shooting himself in the bead. He leaves a wife and small daughter. Borina for a water supply at the town of Blair, this State, at the depth of 120 feet met with favorable results, water raising to within a few feet of the surface of the ground. It is said that a whale, 100 feet Ions:, came ashore on the beach be tween Ahiagtoa village aid North i river, Mass., the other day. The town buried it at an expense of $I00. John McCullough, now in the Bloomingdale Asylum, N. Y., is baid to be gradually losing all remem brances of his old days on the" stage. It is also said he is failing physically. Typhoid tever has recently ap peared in the New Jersey asylum for the insane. A dozen persons have been prostrated by tho disease, which is supposed to have originated from bad drainage. Harry Rhodes, the young man who wae shot by marshal Decker, at Papillion, Neb., while resisting arrest about a month ago died on the 17th. The remains have been embalmed and will be sent to Philadelphia. A two year old son of W. Gardner of Hastings, Neb., was gored the oth er evening by a vicious cow. One wound was made over the left nipple, and one on the bead. The child is in a critical condition, but may live. The mystery attached to the mur der of A. L. Herrick in Brooklyn, N. Y., the other day has been cleared up by the confession of Thomas J. Armstrong, his step son, that he did the shooting, claiming to have acted in self defense. The number of immigrants landed at Castle Garden, N. Y., since the 1st of January is about 30,000 less than during the corresponding period last year.

Va.. the other day, the loaded car broke loose and collided with- the car in which were Layton Oakford, president of the road, and three other persons, all of whom were killed. A Chinaman in California lias re cently made a shipment of 2,000 horn ed toads to China. In the red hills where they are numerous they are as much dreaded as rattlesnakes. The toads in China are converted into various kinds of medicines, which sell very high. A toad is placed in a fla6k of whisky for several weeks and the stuff is sold as a tonic. Apple Blight, Twit Might, er aire niickt. The blight of the applo tree has been made the subject of study and observation in the department of Botany and Horticulture. In and about Lincoln the injury to trees has been quite severe this year and the loss will be considerable. it is now knowu that Wight is a genuiue disease, and that it can be communicated from tree to tree, just as small-pox can be communicated from mail to man. The disease is caused by Bacteria, as has been showu by repeated experiments. A tew days ago thin slices of a blighted twig taken from the University cam pus were submitted to careful micro scopic examination, showing the tis sues to be swarming with myriads of bacteria. A bit of the gummy juice which exudes from the dying twigs was dissolved in water and a minute drop placed under the microscope, when it was seen to be filled with enormous numbers of bacteria. These bacteria are minute single- celled plants, which get a living at the expense of tho cells of tho young apple twig, and finally destroy their life. Very tull experiments have been made at the New York Agricultural experimeutal station which fully con firm the facts 6et forth above. Many 1 trees were inoculated by puncturing twigs and then inserting some or the gummy exudation, or simply some of the juice from the blighting twig, and the disease was almost invariably communicated. The experiments showed that apple blight, pear blight and quince blight are identical, as the virus from any one produced the ordinary blight upon the others. The experiments also showed in a striking manner that blight works best upon the more succulent parts of the tree. It was much easier to inoculate the youug and still soft twigs than the older and harder ones. From this it is obvious that a variety of the apple which ripens its wood qnickly will be less subject to blight than any one remaining succulent for a great time. Everything that we now know of blight suggests that the knife is still the beet remedy. Follow Mr. Mas ter's advice, and cut off every twig which shows signs of blighting. And do it as soon as the blight appears. Cut low down in the twig. Be careful not to coutaminate your knife by cut ting into the diseased part, or you may inoculate your tree with the virus. Burn the blighted twigs, lest they become a source of the contagion. Charles E. Bessev. Wlllaceecfcee Is the name of a flourishing village in Coffee county, Georgia, on the line of the Brunswick and Albany railroad. Mr. D. E. Gaskin, a well known citizen of that village, writes under date of December 22d : Soon after my marriage, about four years ago, my wife was stricken with some trouble peculiar to her sex, which broe down her general health. Iu this condition Bhe was soon after attacked with Inflammatory Rheuma tism of such a severe type that it made her a cripple. She was reduced in flesh to sixty-five pounds, and came very near losing her life. 8be was attended by three good physi cians who treated her with some benefit, but the swelling In her joints never left her. Last summer the Rheumatism returned ia a still more severe aud painful form which seem ed to defy the skill of all the doctors. She would almost go frantic with pain, and would lie and scream all day. A friend of mine, who is an engineer on the Brunswick k, Albany railroad, suggested that I ehoaltLuse Swift's Specifle (S. S. S.), which rdld. After the had takes oae t Mall battle bbe was up and able to walk over the houseand attcr taking the six small bottles she is uow able to do any kind of house work ; the swelliug has gone, all the pain has left her, and she is in better health than she ever was The treatment before using the Swifts Specific cost me between $350 to 1400, and the six bottles of S. S. S. coat me eixdollars. It is certainly the most wonderful medicine and the best blood purifier ia the world, f he proprietors should let the world know about it. t Note The S. S. S. Company wish to caution purchasers in regard to the numerous imitations of their goods. Some carry the lie on the face, pur porting to be vegetable remedies; when, in fact, they are really strong solutions of poisonous minorals as Mercury, Potash, etc. Be careful to f get the genuine.

Mr. Editor: In answer to tax payer of last week, I would say.

One or the Old Board. Scheel MaperlaUeatdemti. Ed. Jouknal: The remarks of youi Crestou correspondent in regard to the County superintendent seem to call for a few observations. What ever may bo the short comings of our County Superintendent (and I am not here to delend him) this much is clear, it is much easier to keep the track of one mau iu his public duties than it would be'of fifteen, as would be the case if the suggestion of your correspondent was carried out; be sides are we not already working on his principle? Is not the Director of each district virtually the superin tendent of the same, and bow often does-he or the members of the Board visit the school wheu in soijii? Let the records of each school spek for itself. If our school officers have no interest in the cause of educition and are not able to give advice to oar teachers when needed, why not select those who are so qualified, for rest assured our district schools never cau accomplish their truo work until this is the case? What is wanting is that the electiou of our superintendents, both state and county, be taken out of politics ; the latter should be select- it ed by a convention of the directors, -or some other representative of each ' school district, while the former J should in like manner be selected by 'B the Couuty Superintendents, as itj raust be evident that they would beX better qualified to judge of his abili-u ties than would the ordinary politi-p cian, whose standard too often does p not rise above availability. A Friend or Education. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Ms. Eawards. Mr. Shell Clark has friends visiting here from Ohio. If r. Ira Bachelor has been engaged to teach a five months term of school at the Woodville school-house. Mrs. H. Guiles has started on an extended visit to her old home in Delaware Co., Ia., expecting to be gone about three months. Death has again entered the home or W. W. Tolman, this time to take from their midst their two little daughters aged six months; one of them died on the 20th, the other on the 21st, with that dread disease, cholera infantum. The funeral was very largely attended on the 23d. They were buried in one casket, Rev. J. W. Jennings officiating. The fam ily has the deepest sympathy of their friends and neighbors. Mare Items. Mrs. U. M. Waite Is expecting friends from Illinois, who purpose to locate here if pleased with the coun try. Rev. Mr. Gerbart preached bis last sermon for the Monroe church last Sabbath ; they expect a new miuister soon. Geo. Micbener and family have gone to their new home in Wheeler county, with which they are much pleased. Tbe weather is warm with plenty of rain, and corn is doing finely, promising to be a splendid crop. Stacking is nearly done, and farmers are now mostly engaged putting up bay, although some are threshing, others plowing. So, while our pro fessional brethren are spending tbe warm weather seeking ' rest land recreation, we poor fellow have to put In our best jumps to make money (with but poor success in some cases), looking to tbe far distant fu ture for our vacations; but we will not be discouraged, for Josh Billings assures us that a farmer was never intended to get rich, but simply to represent an honest man, and as that is tbe noblest work of God, who could aspire to more ?

Farmers are jubilant, and report the yield of grain as being much better than they expected. Evidently Hum phrey will have more grain to ship this year, than the last two years combined.
