ftufca$fetrcttat, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 13, 1886. Over 02,000 acres of Union Pacific land in Kansas were sold daring November. Hon. James Laibd has sent us his speech on the Revision of the Rules, and it is a good one. The president sent in the other day the name of Jacob C Morgan for postmaster at Kearney. It is rumored that a movement is on foot to abolish the office of surveyor-general of Nebraska. "Wahoo is having a fierce contest for the post-office at that place, with several candidates in the field. Over six thousand peopleehook hands with President Cleveland dur ing his New Year's reception. The Journal is under continued obligations to Hon. G. W. E. Dorsey for favors in the way of public doc uments. The weekly bank statement of the New York banks shows that they hold $28,085,463 in excess of legal re quirements. The Bee thinks the people of Ne braska are ready to vote for a man of bralnB, character and executive abil ity as a governor. The corn crop of Gage county for this season is estimated at 6,573,432 busbels, and the total yield of the Stato at 129.494.3S7 bushels. Sew aud Smith, recently a Territo rial Judge in Dakota, was declared insane at Des Moines the other day, and removed to Mt. Pleasant asylum. Eighteen hundred and eighty-five has given to Nebraska more summer like weather from its commencement to its close, than any which preceded it the past fifteen years. Arrangements last week were being made for holding a monster mooting of loyalists in Belfast on tho 18th, to protest against any measure granting homo rule to Ireland. The Civil Service Reform cry of the Democracy and their eastern Mugwump allies has been and is one of the srrcatest frauds known to the political history of this country. A rki'okt at London says that Russia and Austria are secrotly arming, and that both those countries have sent orders to England for large quantities of stores for their re6poc tivo armies. Mrs. G. A. Sala, who was accom panying her husband on his lecturing tour around the world, died at Mel bourne, Australia. Profound sym pathy is expressed for tho veteran journalist and author In his bereave ment. John T. Eckku, confined in the jail at Albion, Neb., under an indict ment for felony, niado bis escape by reaching a window in tho second story ami making a rope of his blankets letting himself down to the ground. The Loyal National Association held a meeting ouu day last week at Dublin, at which a number of loyalist motions were voted down amid great uproar. The meeting finally dispers ed with shouts of "Home rule" and "God savo Ireland." Lorenzo Snow, one of the twelve apostles of tho Mormon church, was found guilty the other day of unlaw ful cohabitation. He had not receiv ed bis sentence. Snow is seventy-two years old, and has seven wives and twentv-threo children. The other morniug at Salem, Neb., a fire was discovered in the Salem City Roller Mills,"owned by Valen tine & Rippv. The building was entirely destroyed, including a large amount of wheat, bran, shorts and flour. The loss is $25,000. A Mr. Gramlicii's little babo, Sar py Co., was prepared for burial, but during the first night aftor its sup posed death, tho mother thought she heard tho little one cry, and going to it found that the child had taken the coins off its eyelids. It is reported improving rapidly. John Ruskins, writing on the Irish question, suggests tlmt the govern ment consider tho virtues and pecul iarities of the Irish people before arranging for managing them. He says the Irish people aro witty and affectionate and the witless and heart less cannot govern them. The second annual meeting of the I Union stock yards company, of this city was held Tuesday, and a 4 per cent dividend on the stock declared. During tho year the receipts at the yard were 150,000 head of cattle, 170,000 head of hog, 40,000 sheep and 5,000 horees. Omaha Bee. Pension Agent Everet, of Pittsburg, Pa., the other day issued to Alex. Gilchin6t, of Indiana, Pa., the largest pension ever paid to a private soldier. The back pay aggregated $12,151 and the money came to a blind, crippled old man who has been an inmate of the poor house for twelve ears. The Suez Canal is 92 miles long and 26 feet deep, the construction having covered a period of thirteen years, and the capital employed amounted to $S5,000,000 in round numbers. Of the tonagc between the cast and the west, the proportions arc 104 voyages by the canal and 60 by the Capo of Good Hope. We discover a new name for Sen ator Van Wyck, and we presume the York Times is entitled to whatever credit there may bo in it "the broncho ptatesman." Surely the state of affairs, now and again, needs con siderable "bucking," and, for one, we hope that the senior senator will keep on "bucking" every thing that under takes to ride tho people, without their 4ne consent. The sooner men understand that in the United States it takes two com petent men t make a contract, and that such agreement must be founded upon a valid and legal consideration, it will be much better for the interests of laboring men to quietly and peace ably make their own contracts for labor, fixine such prices as is cus tomary and what they think is reas onable and just and in this manner to obtain labor and no competent laborer in ordinary times need be out of employment in this country. Men of this country have been educated to make their own contracts with em ployees, fixing prices which their cir cumstances and business will permit them to offer and pay, and no sooner than an armed body of men say you shall pay ns so much or we will not work and we will not permit any ono else to do your work. This action on the part of laborers creates at once a spirit of hostility and resistance to all compulsory contracts men are thrown out of employment, the peace and quiet of communities disturbed and business deranged and stopped and in the end no one benefited, but many laborers materially injured. When you? saycto a true American citicen yon shall pay me 60 much for my labor or I will not work for you or permit any ono else to work for you for less money, you;arouse in the mind of that sitizen the spirit of 1776 which induced our forefathers to strike for freedom. Every laborer in the land should reccivo a fair and just compensation for his services aud this 'canj bo; 6ecnrcd by a quiet and peaceable contract made volun tarily without fear or compulsion. Howard Couaty'M "Roaad-ap." Last fall we published a paragraph from one of tho Howard.county papers in regard to alleged delin quencies of C. C Robinson, county clerk,"it beingTcharged, thatj'he had not entered ontbe fee-book and re- portedLall feesf received, as required to dojby'law. Some of the friends of 'the accused sent us a' disclaimer of the charges, ashaving been "trumped up" merely for political effect, to which we gave equal publicity. Now it seems, from a copy of the Free Press of Dec. 30, '85, that anexpert has investigated the affairs of the office from 1 Jan. '81, to 6 Oct. '85, and finds a balance of 2,820.42, for which be is unable to ..account. In the published proceedings of the County Commissioners, a limited time ia allowed to A. G. Kendall, a former clerk, to make a showing why ho and his bondsmen bo not sucdfor the amount found duo from him to the county, as per the. report of M. M. White, expert.Tamounting to $1, 078.67.1 Suit was ordered brought against Robinson and his bondsmen, and against the chairmen of county commissioners for the years 1881, '2, '3, '4 and '5, and their bondsmen. If pushed, the cases will doubtless attract considerable attention from other portions of .Nebraska, where it has not been customary all these years, to keep tee-books, and make an honest report of what has been received. T. W. Whitman, county clerk, put in a claim last week for$175 00 bal ance for making 18S5 tax list. Chair man Barnholdt rofused to audit the claim on tho ground that it was un authorized by law, as reference to a late decision of tho Supreme Court will show. It is interesting to know that dur ing the past six years $2,400 has been illegally paid for this work, as fol lows: 1880, John Lapache 1350 00 1881, " " 400 00 1882, " " 400 00 1883, " " 475 00 1884, T. W. Whitman 473 00 1S83, " " 3U0 00 Making in all $2400.00. As a refer ence to the list shows, Whitman has already received $300.00 on the 1885 list, and has tho first mentioned claim iu tor $175.00. The Supreme Court held that the statutes did not authorize the pay ment of anything to the clerk for preparing the annual tax list, and we believe Mr. Barnholdt is right in re fusing to audit the account. It is to be regretted that it was not known before, as $2,400.00 is quite a sum of money for the county to lose. Schuyler Herald. Gladstone has summoned the lib eral members of parliament to a meeting on the 16th. He privately promises them that he will then make a frank statement of the principles upon which he proposes to settle the Irish question. It has been learned that Gladstone has been disposed to accept the invitation to visit America. The invitation came from Mr. John Jennings, who is connected with a Loudon agency which supplies tho American press with much English news. Ho assured Gladstone that he would be received in America with the heartiest welcome, and expressed the idea that a personal investigation of the workings of the constitution of tho United States wonld be produc tive of the most important results and perhaps enable him to deal with the question of home rulo for Ireland with a far greater degree of confi dence. Tho latter stated that Ameri cans generally believed Gladstone was the only man able to grapple with this question. It is understood that he declines to make the visit now but will visit the United States iu the autumn. The Times published in London suggests that the Irish difficult could be solved in three months by the exclusion of tho Parncllitcs from the house of commons and the pro clamation of martial laws in Ireland. How readily an editor can deceive himscK, write up his impressions and put them in print to lead others astray. Tho Irishman wants the liKortv ti irnrprn himcpif and all tho martial laws in Europe can not crush out that love of liberty. The New York World states that Edison is at work on a new phono graph that is intended to revolution ize office work. The machine to be used in offices and for short distances will be self-acting by a spring. Bank ers, merchants, lawyers and editors can stand up and speak to it, or can recline upon a lounge, smoke their cigars and dictate to it at their case. All tbey have to do then is to hand it to the office boy, who, by touching a spring, cau make it talk back or re peat all that has been said to it, which he can transcribe at his will. Who ever owns a machine can take It home with him, and if a thought, an Idea, strikes him he can instantly confide it to the phonograph, and there it is for him next day. The machine intend ed for commercial purposes will pro duce a sound forty times londer than tho human voice. Can't raise anything, eh? This office has on exhibition a sample of Sea Island wheat raised by J. F. Emery in this county, which wheat yielded 20 bushels per acre on thir teen acres of ground, and that a sod crop. Several farmers are now bring ing corn into town raised on sod broken last spring, which sod ground is yielding in weight measure forty bushels to the acre, while Mr. Em ery's oats yielded, from a field of twenty acres, fifty bnshels to the acre. We now say with much pride that the prediction mado by the Beflector a year or more ago, is absolutely trne i. e., that "Keith county and the west ern portion of Nebraska would upon development prove an immensely rich agricultural region, that all it needed was to supplant the cowboy with the plowboy." Ogalalla Be flector. Pulverized steatite is coming into use, quite satisfactorily, as a finish or covering for walls and buildings. It is simply soapstone, it takes a high polish, is pearl gray in tint, preseuts the best possible surfaco for paintnfg, either in oil or water color, and will neither crack nor chip. It is claimed for it that it is a non-conductor and non-absorbent ; that it can be washed without injury ; nails can be driven into it without damage; when sub ject to heat, moisture and chemical fumes it gives out no smell, and dees not turn yellow with age. It is thought to be specially adapted for hospitals, factories, markets, etc. The police at Chicago the other day furnished details of an extra ordinary piece of vandalism occurring iu St. Elizabeth Roman Catholic church iu that city. An unknown person entered the church, tore down and completely mutilated sixteen oil paintings which had been on the walls; tore down all the figures in the niches ; went into the sanctuary, threw the vestment around and spilled the wine; passing into the school room the desks were over turned, books thrown around and tho walls bespattered with ink. No cause is assigned for the wreckage and no arrests were mado. D. M. Ferrt & Go's, largo seed house and other buildings at Detroit, Mich., wore entirely destroyed recent ly by fire. The building occupied half of a square, being one of the largest in the city, and their seod bus iness was perhaps the largest in the United States. Four hundred people are usually employed in tho building besides four hundred more employed on their immense farms outside the city. It was providential that the fire occurred on a holiday, as other wise the loss of life would have prob ably been very great. Tho total loss on the stock and building will reach not less than $1,500,000. Frank Vaughn, while out riding with hi yonng bride near Kansas City, tho other day, was 6hot and killed by Abram Nave, a cousin of the young bride. Nave it appears bad formed an attachment for bis cousin and had proposed marriage to her which she rejected and married Vaughn, which 60 excited Naves hatred and jealousy that led him to commit the horrible murder. Nave being pursued by officers rode to his father's house, through the yard to a straw stack and theie blew out his brains. Some of the largest landlords in Ireland have adopted a new plan to baffle the Irish National League, and to discredit it among the laborers. When asked by the tenant farmers to reduce the rent of their farms, the landlords reply that they are unable to make any reductions withont sus pending the works in progress on their estates and dismissing the laborers employed thereon. This places the league in a dilemma. As we have said before, Nebraska is a blue grass country ; if not blue grass, it is an orchard grass country, for this grass seldom fails. No crop pays like a grass crop, and the farmer who sows ten or twelve bushels of seed each year is the farmer that will have a bank on his farm within the next ten years. All we need to do to have tame grasses here is to 60w the seed. Tecumseh Journal. O. S. Colthar, the Poland-China breeder of Sheridan, called one day last week at this office and said bis hog crop is improving very nicely and all taints of disease have long ago disappeared from his herd. On ask ing him the cause he used no remedy but care, pure water and good feed. He has saved about forty per cent of his crop by this means. Pawnee Press. Mrs. Rogers, the cattle Queen of Texas, it is stated, inherited from her first husband a herd of 40,000 cattle. The widow managed the business, and in due time married a preacher twenty years younger than herself, who bad seven children. She attends to her estate herself, rides among her onw - bovs on horseback, and can tell just what a promising steer or cow is worth at any size or age. John Kelly Still allllng in Politics to the Detriment of His Bealsb. Clifton Springs, N. Y., Jan. 7. John Kelly, of New York, from all accounts, was quite benefited from treatment received while at Clifton Springs, but owing to his intense love for the interests of Tammany hall, he has allowed his physician's advice to go unheeded, and is now again suf fering from insomnia and nervous prostration. In some respects bis sickness is peculiar, as he appears better one day and not so well the next. Medicine does not benefit him now as it did a year or more since, or it would surely do him more good. Cheerful company, riding, and driv ing are considered his best lines of treatment. A general change, by getting entirely out of politics, would do him more real good now than all elBe besides. If this is not done soon he will gradually grow worse, and become a hopeless case. Paris, Jan. 7. General DeCourcey, commander of the French forces in Tonquin, telegraphs the war officers as follows : During the latter part of December, the rebels destroyed the Catholic mission houses at Ughean. Annam, and killed the French mis sionary and the wives of a hundred native Christians. A column of French troops was sent in pursuit of the rebels, overtook and routed them and captured their arms and ammu nition. Martin Archer was arrested the other day and jailed at Shoals. He is one of the gang charged with the murder of John Bunch, all of Martin county, Ind. It is claimed that Archer is chief of the murderous gang. Last week 300 citiaens went in pursuit to capture the remaining three of the Archer tribe of despera does. David Crane has made a con fession of all he knew abont it, and has been removed to Washington for safe keeping. The news by dispatches centering at Pittsburg, Pa., states that heavy rains for two days of last week and large quantities of snow have pro duced the most violent food in many localities in Pennsylvania known in many years, resulting in over three million dollars worth of damage done to citizens' property at Bradford, Lock Haven, Williamsport, Shenau doah, Hazeltnn, Easton, Allentown and Wilkesbarre. J. J. McGuter, near Cheyenne, shot Hugh J. Edwards with an old army musket filled with bird shot. Edwards received the charge of shot in his right cheek, which is fearfully larcerated. The trouble grew out of tho fact that both men were seeking to locate the same piece of govern ment land. Edwards' wounds may prove fatal. McGuyer came to town and gave himself up and is now in jail. Veterinary Surgeon Rung of Newark, N. J., received the other day from New 'York the body of a dog which was killed while suffering from rabies; also four cats which wero bitten by the dog. He will en deavor to start a laboratory at New ark. A rabbit was inoculated with the virus. This operation is said to be tho first of the kind ever perform ed in this country. News Hotes.

Mr. Editor: About one year ago my attention was called to an article entitled "Success with Poultry," which was 60 practical, that as 1 was out of employment, and had a family to support, I at once concluded to try it. I got directions for making an Incubator which, when complete, held 250 eggs and cost $7. I hatched, from March till July, 741 chickens, and raised 648 of them. As soon as the chicks were from ten to twelve weeks old I sold them for broilers. Chickens batched in February, March and April will sell much higher than later chickens. I got for the whole lot $426.60; this for a woman with out any experience, and on a small lot in town, I consider pretty good. I now have another Incubator made and think 1 can make at least twice as much this year. I do not keep any hens, but just buy eggs at the groceries for my Incubator. Any one can get directions for making an Incubator like mine by sending ten cents in silver to Campbell & Co., Zanesville, Ohio. I am sure there are many in these hard times that would be glad to try such a business ; it is pleasant and profitable. I wish some of your readers . would tell me whether New York is the best market to" ship to, so many tell me I could get much more, for my poultry if I would ship it east. Mrs G. W. R. k.
