. Several investigations were re
cently made by the Beatrice Express
and other parties Jn regard to the so
called hog cholera in Nebraska, .par
ticularly in that locality; A man by
the name of Wm. Wagaer, living ia
that vicinity, and who had lostaboat
400 head the past season, made the
investigation by a shoat two months
old that was ailing. Taking but the
stomach and liver he found the parts
alive with worms, some measuring
five inches in- length. These worms
originate in the small intestines,
whence they go to the stomach, and
afterwards'to the. liver. The worms
eat the sugar and 'glucose contained
in the corn, poison tha blood and
cause a fever to set in. The first
parts to be affected aro the lungs, and
the first symptom of the disease is a
cough. Bobert Wilson, of Blue
Springs has made similar investiga
tions and concurs fully in opinion
with Mr. Wagner that Nebraska hogs
do not know what hog cholera is and
never did. We should think that
turpentine would kill the worms and
castor oil would remove them from
the system.
Matt Thompson, a Scandinavian
farmer who resided about three miles
from Wisner, Neb., was rnn over and
killed by a train Friday night and his
body ground to pieces by car wheels,

track which runs through his farm.
The very latest sensation in Omaha
was the shocking news Saturday that
John W. Lauor had shot and killed
his beautiful young wife, formerly
Miss Sallie GoetBcbis. He declares
the shooting was accidental, that he
awakened suddenly in the night, and
hearing a noise in his room, and mis
taking his wife (who was standing a
short distance from the bed for a
burglar), fired with the horrible re
sult. There are circumstances at
tending the affair that show at least a
criminal carelessness, if nothing more,
in the use of deadly pistols. The fact
that he ill-treated his wife while liv
ing is calculated to excite public
opinion against him. The case will
be legally investigated, as the coro
ner's jury recommended that he be
held for a criminal offence.
Louis Riel, the daring leader. of
the oppressed French Canadians, was
executed at Regina, N. W. T., Nov.
16tb, '85, and died like a brave man.

which led to the scaffold where mass
was celebrated. Riel was on his
bended knee, wearing a loose woolen
snrtout, gray trousers and woolen
shirt. On his feet were moccasins,
the only feature of his dress that par
took of the Indian. His last words
were 'Mcrcy, Jesus." He died with
out a Btruggle. Father McWilliams
declares he never witnessed a more
resigned feeling than was shown in
tho case of Riel during his last hours.
The Nebraska Telephone Company
operates under a license from the
American Bell company, and the
American Bell company has a com
pact with the Western Union which
forbids it from leasing telephones
to rival lines. Such an agreement is
in violation of our state laws. The
Nebraska company has notified tho
parent telephone monopoly of this
fact and asks permission to extend its
service to the new Pacific Telegraph.
It is safe to say that it will be grant
ed. Regulation very frequently reg
ulates, in spite of the fervid denials
of the men who are paid by the cor
porations to deny this truth in doublo
leaded editorials. Omaha Bee.
Judge Mitcuel overruled the mo
tion for a new trial in the case of A.
L. Pound, and the prisoner was sen
tenced to two years in the peniten
tiary. Pound was indicted for killing
a man while in the act of robbing tho
State treasury, found guilty of man
slaughter, and sentenced' as aforesaid.
Thereupon, and upon application to
Gov. Dawes to enable Pound to ob
tain time in which to publish a .notice
for application for pardon the Gover
nor reprieved him for the period of
twenty days, or until the 3d of De
cember, '85. This is believed to' end
the case, as the Governor will at the
end of the reprieve grant a full
pardon.
Recent news received at London
states that the British force in Bnr-
mah have carried the forts in -the
vicinity of Minhla and captured the
town after three hours firing from the
floating batteries, armed launches and
heavy guns on board the steamers.

twenty-seven wonnded. Minhla was
the most strongly fortified position
on the river, and by its capture the
way is cleared for the British advance
to Mandalay. as the forts at Ava,
twelve miles from the Burmese capi
tal, are only slight structures in com
parison with thoseof Minhla.

'Watson B. Smith, Clerk of the
United States district court, for the
district of Nebraska, was mardered
in the hall of his office at' Omaha,
Neb., and found oa the morning of
Nov. 5tb, 1881, tho cause of bis death
being a terrible wound over his left
teaapte, inficted by some unknowa
assassin, either with a shot' from a
revolver or a blow from some heavy
Instrument. This dastardly murder
has slumbered since the year 8l until
last week, when it transpired that
John Pierson, a penitentiary convict,
confesses himself the principal in the
horrible deed. ' Pferson claims tor
have committed the deed for $300, and
names Jack Nugent as the man who
paid the money. The case is now
undergoing an investigation before
the grand jury of the U. S. district
court.
Next to John Wesley the most
famous Methodist, to the minds of
the Marylanders, was Joshua Thomas
a character as picturesque as any
known in the church annals of
America. Though he led a simple
life, his was the spirit that walked
upon tne waters or ine i;nesapeaKe.
In his day fleets of sailboats from tho
Tred Avon to southernmost limits of
Tangier turned their bows toward
church as regularly as Sunday came.
It was "Father Thomas'' who preach
ed to the redcoats on, the way to Bal
timore, and who warned them .that
God would fight in the battle of
North Point. More than seventy
years have passed since that sermon,
yet "The Methodist," the famous
canoe of the famous "parson of the
islands" is still afloat in Tangier
Sound. It is a relic that the Islan
ders prize as highly as the parson's
bible itself. JSx.
There are a. number of historical
clocks in the White House. One of
them was once the property of Napo
leon, and by him presented to Gen
eral Lafayette, who in turn presented
it to President George' Washington.
It still keeps perfect time. It is of
alabaster and French gilt bronze. It
runs for thirty days at one winding.
In the Red Room President Lincoln's
clock of ebony and gold still strikes
the quarters, halves and hours with
wonderful precision. The only
American made clock in the White
HouBe was manufactured in New
York. It IB kept in the Green Room,
and was purchased when James
Monroe was President.
The Historical Society of Pennsyl
vania will celebrate, next month, the
two hundredth anniversary of the in
troduction of printing into the mid
dle colonies of America. Appro
priately enough, the. ceremonies will
take place in Philadelphia, where
many of the most important events in
connection with typography have
occurred. It is said that printers in
Philadelphia produced the first Amer
ican magazine, the first American
edition of the Bible, and the first
American daily newspaper. Doubt
less there will be a tendency to recall
some of the achievements of Benja
min Franklin in the printing line.
Justice Miller of the United
States supreme court arrived at a de
cision the other day in the Brighton
ranch .case. The Company have sur
rounded 52,000 acres of land in Custer
county with fifty-seven miles of wire
fences. The Jndge is of the opinion
that the United States is entitled to
its injunction mandatory as to so
much of the fence complained of or as
exists, and prohibited as to building
any future fences. There exists no
right in the defendant to build any
fence on the lands of the United
States.

At St. Petersburg the Russian
newspapers, both official and unoffi
cial, unite in condemning the Servo
Bulgarian war, and declare that Rus
sia will be unable to sit quietly while
Bulgaria and Servia tear each other
to pieces. The Journal de St. Peters
burg hints that England, by delaying
the meeting of the Balkan conference,
is responsible for the outbreak of war
between Servia and Bulgaria.
A report comes from Santa Cruz,
Cal., that the Chinese engaged as

OMclal ComptlM.
New York, Nov. 16. The senate
investigating committee which has
been throwing out its drag-net here
for several weeks has done a great
deal of good in bringing to light a lot
of aboses which have grown up under
democratic administration of county
offices. They have summoned every
one who they thought had any
knowledge of abuses, and tho news
papers have reported their proceed
ings so thoroughly that already work
has been found for the grand jury.
They havo exposed some frauds that
have been committed iu the purcha60
of armory sites,- and the trial of Mon
mouth B. Wilson will begin in the
court of general sessions to-morrow
upon the charge of receiving money
for influencing the choice of an
armory site, the fact being that he
was made the go-between and as an
agent received a commission of over
$10,000 for selling a certain plot of
ground to tha city, the money being
paid for bis alleged influence with a
member of the board. The board of
excise has been kept in very hot
water, proof being furnished that fees
had been paid for eeenring licenses
for sporting and disorderly houses,
and that licenses had been granted
places which were notorious resorts
for disorderly characters. The con
sequences of this action on their part
is found in the breaking out of the
spasm of virtue which resulted in re
fusing a license to the Metropolitan
hotel becauso it had a connection with
Niblo'e garden through the lobby,
and ordering to be closed every door
leading from a theater lobby to a
hotel. As these doors have counted
as exits to the theatres in case of fire,
the Are commissioners have promptly
ordered them opened, and a pretty
conflict of authority is inevitable.

New York, Nov. 18. A Washing
ton special says: The president has
called on the state department for a
full statement of our relations with
Germany and Austria in regard to
the treatment of oaturalized citizens
of the United States in those coon
tries. It Is understood, says the' dis
patch, that the president is determin
ed that the United States shall remain
no longer inactive upon this question.
In the event of Germany ignoring our
proteels, it is believed a severance of
all diplomatic relations with these
countries would rapidly bring about
a crisis. It is not thought probable
that the president will mention the
trouble in bis message, but he will
make powerful suggestions about the
need of a new navy and the alarming
condition of our coast "defenses. In
conclusion the special says : "In case
matters do not mend before tho ad
journment of congress, the president
will make it the snbject of a special
message, urging upon the legislative
branch of the government the abso
lute necessity of furnishing inch
manner of offense and defense that in
case the worst comes this country
should not be caught napping. It is
not to be expected that the president
will put the matter as bluntly as this,
but he will mean the same."
