Blaine has sent a $100 check to the Boston fond for suffer ers in the west of Ireland. These are 13,000 telephones in use in Great Britain, while the United States talks throngh 326,000. Ex-Sehatob A. C. Thukkak, was robbed recently of several hundred dollars by a tramp whom he employ ed. "Five thousand people, it is estima ted, have settled already this year in Dundy, Chase and Cheyenne conn ties. The secretary of the treasury has issued a call for $10,000,000 3 per cent bonds, which will matnre June first. The death rate of Cairo has been fearful this year, in January 60 per 1,000; bad water is believed to be the cause. The Bull Bun Panorama Company, at Chicago, with a capital stock of $200,000, was licensed the other day by the Secretary of State. John Moore's two year old son, of Edger, Neb., swallowed a portion of a vial otaconite and is reported as lyin&rinA'critical condition. .In a recent cartoon, -Public Interest 9frB as a football, which Capital, on one' aide, and Labor on the other, kick with equal particularity and vigor. Hon. Charles Fbancis Adams was banqueted in an elaborate style the other night, by a large number of business and professional men of Omaha. That part of the United States lying west of the Mississippi river conld bo carved into three hundred and fifty-one states the size of Mass achusetts. Hon. H. H. Moses, for many years a circuit judge in Ohio, and the author of a standard work on man damus, will hereafter be a citizen of Wayne, Neb. It is estimated that the total num ber of persons killed by the recent cyclone at St. Cloud, Minn., are 74; injured 213. The property loss is es timated at $300,000. A cbankt Illinois editor defines a prohibitionist as a zealous person bent on doing the greatest possible good to the greatest possible num ber with the greatest possible amount of other people's money. No changes of military commands in the department of the Platte un till Gen. Crook reaches Omaha. Sheridan prefers to receive Crook's recomondations in the matter. The Ninth Cavalry will probably go to Fort Niobrara. A DiSASTBOUs prairie fire was re ported one day last week in Brown and Cherry counties, Neb. Driven by a strong gale, it swept away tim ber, sheds and hay. Morris & Sons lost several hundred dollars in im provements. A cobbespodnent from Craig, Neb. to the Burtonian of last week says that M. F. Kennedy's parents arrived last week from Ohio and will make their home with him. Joseph Clark came from the same place and will summer with them. It is said to be a fact that dog fu nerals are common iu New Tork and are quite "the thing." The ani mal has his lot in the cemetery, is followed by the family and the friends, and has his grave decorated daily with flowers. The Omaha Bee says : President Adams and party subscribed a mill ion and a half dollars in stock of the Cheyenne & Northern railway. The Union Pacific needs such a feeder - and is bound to have it, notwthstand ingiis assertions that the road is crippled by nnfriendly legislation. East Lee, Mass., 'was inundated and devastated by tbe breaking away of a dam at tbe Mud Pond reservoir, Mountain Lake, two and one half Miles from the village. Eleven per sons have thus far been fonnd and several persons are missing. The loss, and damage will amount to fully $220,000. C. A, Johnson, tbe Burt county farmer in whose barn tbe Mexican desperado took refuge, ib still suf- fering somewhat from the effects of the bullet shot through his leg by the desperado when he first cane to the barn. Everest, the other man shot, is still at Johnson's bouse, and his con dition said to be critical. The Clark liquor law in Iowa does away with flues, sending every dealer convicted of violating it to prison. Without a U. S. government license (which he mu6t poet conspicuously) the government gets after him, and with it so posted there is no other proof necessary to show that he is violating tbe state law. Congbesshan Dobset's bill re arranging United States district and federal courts in Nebraska passed tbe House the other day. It adds four places to the three where courts are now held Hastings, Norfolk, Falls City and Kearney. When it passes the Senato it will be the law reg nlatiag those courts in Nebraska. Fetes Andebson, of David City, pending his trial last week was still held is the custody of the Sheriff of Bstler for attempting to impale the Members of the state sanitary com Mission Ttr r pitch fork. Peter bad mm glaadered horses, and the cost saiaaiosera were about to kill theav he served as IbIsbcuob os With k4s fork. Attemtlca Bachelors. If the frivolous, sickly young ladies of the period would take lessons in usefulness and acquire the bloo m of health which mantles the cheeks of healthy beauty, they should emulate the example of a robust Miss of Her man township, not yet ont of her teens. Circumstances made her the main-stay on a good farm several years ago. She has become a prac ticed farmer, raises and cares for her own cattle and horses, plants, cribs and markets the corn and grain, has health, accomplishments, muscle and nerve unimpaired by tight lacing and do-nothingneBS. This winter she drove her loaded team to Herman when the thermometer was below the twenties. This young lady is a good house-keeper as well as an ex pert farmer, she has teeth like pearls and cheeks like roses and would make some deserving man a jewel of a wife, but knowing her native modesty her name cannot be men tioned in this connection. Such a treasure will soon enough be found out and appropriated we only men tion it as a bright example of what can be accomplished by a smart and industrious girl. Blair Republican. Way It Once in a while a man says a thing very neatly. This is generally tbe case where be talks what he iB per sonally interested in, and without any effort to say fine things. One of a delegation from Pennsylvania ap peared before tho house ways and means committee and mado this speech, which is a model in its way : "Gentlemen: I am no speech maker. I make iron. I have no ed ucation. I was born in England. At eight years of ago I was put to work in the iron mills of my native town. I was paid first twenty-five cents a day. After a year I began to earn five shillings or $1.25 a day, at which I might have labored for the rest of my life. I heard that labor was protected in tho United States. I came here fifteen years ago. I now earn $5 a day. I have nino children and every one of them going to school. That is the reason that I am in favor, and every workingman should be in favor of protecting American labor and that meaus the industries which give American labor its employment." Wholesale trading in young and innocent girls for immoral purposes has come to tbe notice of the authori ties at Quebec. Disreputable houses in Chicago, New Tork, Boston and other cities in the United States havo agents here who ingratiate them selves with young women and in dnce them to go to the states, where they are drawn into a life of infamy. Their trade has been carried on to an alarming extent, sometimes fifteen females being shipped in a week. The prices paid to tho agents de pends npon the good looks of the girls, varying from $20 to $200. It is charged that a femalo agent the other night abducted two young wo men, and intended to dispose of them for immoral purposes, sending tbem to Chicago, by the Grand Trunk rail road. The police, government au thorities and clergy were investiga ting this case at the time this business was made public. As the spring approaches the oil excitement in Wyoming does like wise. Company after company is being formed, claim after claim is being taken. The Big Horn basin is the objective point Here the oil de posits seem to bo simply marvel ous. Tho best authorities estimate that the middle of tbe coming season will see 2,000 people in the Big Horn oil fields. There is an unctions cer tainty that a new field and mammoth discovery is on the tapis. Twenty miles of territory, with an average width of five miles is said to cover one immense oil lake. The actual location of this vast deposit will be made public in a short time. Men are eagerly awaiting tbe first certain information, and when it comes the rush will be tremendous. Aim worth Journal. St. Cloud and Sauk Rapids, Minn, were visited by a destructive cyclone in tbe afternoon of the 14th inst, which at St. Cloud swept a path six hundred yards wide, leveling be tween 150 and 200 houses, killing, it is believed, ninety persons and ser iously injuring more that a hundred. It is believed that forty persons were killed in Sauk Rapids, and a large amaunt of valuable property destroyed. The cyclone commenced in tbe basin of the Masonic cemetery forming a whirlwind about a 1,000 feet in diameter. It took almost every tree in a circle from the ground or twisted it ofTat the trunk. Great stones were torn up aud carried along with the wind. The strongest brick buildings were wrecked and scattered by its power. Senator Ingalls of Kansas has in troduced a bill providing that no person or corporation shall own more than 640 acres of land and that no foreigner shall hold any, and that land held three years after the pas sage of the bill, contrary to its pro visions, shall be forfeited to the gov ernment. Mr. Ingalls iB credited with being one of the shrewdest men in Congress. Many think the land question is at tbe foundation of labor and capital differences, bnt just why 640 acres should be the maximum holding of land, and no limitation whatever placed npon the possession of personal property, is pretty hard to figure. One of our mo6t public- spirited,buBiness acquaintances thinks that $5,000 is sufficient for any man to own. Gen. HowABDand family met with a cordial "welcome at Sidney one day laBt week. Citi zens, accompanied by Gen. Morrow and the officers and ladies of the gar rieos. gave the old hero a beautiful reception. The Twenty-first in fastry fsrsished good msiic A Pleaaaat Party. From the correspondence of tbe Cadiz (Ohio) Republican, we quote the following. Many of our readers, not only in that state but this are well acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, mentioned as removing to Nebraska, and know them to be more worthy of regard than can be told : M. B. Kennedy and family, of Green township, yesterday moved to Burt county, Nebraska. On last Thursday a large number of their friends and neighbors gathered, un expectedly, to their old home, bring ing with tbem s bonntifnl dinner altogether such a one in kind and measure as the people of Green town ship know how to lurnisb, and pass ed the day in renewing old recollec tions, expressing the well-wishes they had for their host and hostess and their hopes for their happiness in their now home. After the dinner had been cleared away, all gathered into tbe comfortable weBt room where Mr. Craig Paxton made a few well-timed remarks, presented Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy with some beau tiful and appropriate presents, to kens of their high appreciation. Mr. Kennedy arose to respond, but tbe recollections of father, mother, the home and companions of hi9 child hood and of his early and mature manhood, the friends that he stood by and who had stood by him in tho many troubles of s well-timed life, crowded too. thick upon him, and choking with emotion more eloquent than words, be was obliged to stop. Too well have his honest neighbors learned to know his manliness, his sturdy virtues and great heart, not to be moved by Butler Kennedy's sepa ration from them. It will be well for tho people of Burt county if they learn no know early the modest worth of the man and woman who stood so well the test here. S. It is stated that since January 18, twenty-three clerks have been dis missed from the treasury depart ment, and persons who have passed the civil service examination have been put iu their places. Most of the removals have been those of the higher class of clerks, those receiving from $1,600, $1,800 and $2,000 a year, and although the letter of the civil ser vice law requires that when a vacancy occurs in one of these upper class of clerks that it shall be filled by pro motion from the next class below, the democratic officials of tbe treas ury have managed to evade the law and shove up tbe new comers when a vacancy occurs. A cibculab was received the other morning at St. Louis, from P. Rock well, general roadmaster, at Lexing ton, Mo., not to employ as section foreman or foreman of the gangs any man who is a Knight of Labor. And also that all foremen now employed who are Knights of Labor must either present their withdrawal cards or be discharged. Mr. Rockwell is the general roadmaster of the Mis souri Pacific, and his authority ex tends from St. Louis to Omaha. Every division roadmaster on the line h as received his instructions. Love letters at breach of promise suits are usually amusing, but none more so than one wriiten to a young Englishman, which run in the follow ing strain : "Dearest, most charming superlative Sally I am longing real ly for the time to come when I shall have you in a home a bower of lovers' bliss, where we can coo and bill all the day long. We 6ball soon have a splash, dash-up wedding of our own, and then we shall take the shine out of them." It is said that Mr. Gladstone is making a strong effort to regain tbe support of Mr. Chamberlain. The storm of opposition and angry criti cism which greeted the explanation of the Premir's plans for Ireland seems to be subsiding. In the items of foreign news, there is a very no ticable reaction of opinion in favor of the Liberal association throughout the country taking a definite attitude in support of Mr. Gladstone. A man attempted to open a saloon in Roscoe, Dakota, on the 23d, and was waited npon by a committee, in cluding about a dozen women, one of whom carried a rope, with the al leged intention of hanging him if he refused to go. At latest accounts he was in the saloon with two pistols and a gun, while tbe mob ontsido was trying to get in. He declares he will shoot the first person who enters bis door, man or woman. Pbeb ident Cleveland has Bent a special message to congress on the subject of labor troubles. As a remedy for tbe evils, he recom mends a permanant commission of labor be created, to consist of three members and be regular officers of government, and to whom all ques tions arising on that subject must be submitted and by it decided and settled. Milo Call, living near Kelloggs ville, Ohio, died suddenly tbe other day under suspicious circumstances. Mrs. Call gave her consent to an au topsy, though reluctantly. Just after the physicians arrived she went up stairs, 6nying she would take a little rest. A few moments later her lifeless body was found sus pended from a rope in the stair way where she had hanged herself. The German town of Stry, is Galicia, was la6t week almost com pletely destroyed by fire. Many persons were killed. The inhabi tants are destitute. The number of houses burned is six hnndred. One hundred persons were killed in one street by falling walls. It i6 stated that thousands of inhabitants will be bankrupt The damage is estimated at several million florins. Three hundred and seventy-three cases of canine rabies were reported in Losdos and neighborhood during 1885, and twesty-six deaths from hy drophobia." The greatest number of cases occurred between July . and De cember. . " Waaalagtea letter. (From our regular correspondent.) Washington, April 23, 18S6. Congress has accomplished so much during tho week, with so Httle waste of time in talk and speeches, that everybody feels, disposed to say "Well Done" and Do not grow weary I of doing." A few weeks of legisla tion, equal in quantity and import ance to that of tho past week, and our law makers would bo ready to desert the Capitol 'by the first of June. It is predicted, however, that they will not get away before some time in August. Some newspapers have been try ing to incite Congress to industry by saying that unless more activity is injected into its proceedings, mem bers will find themselves here in September, 1886. But a question more important with most of the al leged statesmen on the Democratic eido of the House, is, whether they will find themselves in Washington in December, 1887. They are dis cussing tbe political situation very seriously, and they are very fearful of losing the House in tbe next elections. The recent local elections in Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan, have interested the poli ticians at the Capitol, and there has been much discussion of the results. The blame for the Republican vic tory is laid chiefly at the President's door. Western Congressmen 6ay the Democrats are so disappointed with the Administration that they have no fighting courage left There is a Democratic Member from Indiana, Mr. Klcimer, who thinks the bad condition of his party in Congress could be remedied by a caucus. Said he; "Wo don't know each other and don't know ourselves. There is no Democratic programme. One wants free silver coinage, an other wants no coinage at all. One wants all the offices, another says he doesn't. We ought to have a caucus at once, and the Administration ought to be represented in the cau cub. The White House and Con gress should work togetbor. The party is disorganized and demoral ized. We need a caucus." Returning to. the week's record of Congress, both the Senate and Houee passed the bill for tho long projected Congressional Library. The Presi dent of the Senato and the Speaker of the House signed tho bill, and the President's signature is the only for mality still required to make it a law. The new depository for the Nation's literary treasures will be east of the Capitol. Half a million has been provided to begin the structure, and $550,000 moro for the purchase of the site. The House, among other things, voted to pension tho Mexican vet erons, and defeated the Bland plan for the unlimited coinage of silver. The Senate invited Washington Ter ritory into the sisterhood of States. It is rumored that Gen. W. F. Rogers, of Buffalo, is to be appointed Public Printer instead of Mr. Bounds. If nothing happens, sooner or later Buffalo will get her share. Republicans, since the elections the first week in the month, have been in excellent spirits, and begin to talk confidently of capturing the next House of Representatives. This is particularly the case among Indiana Republicans. There seems to be no doubt that the Democratic party is growing exceedingly restless, and many of its members, in all the 6tates, disgusted with the President, and if the Administration continues to carry things with a high hand he will not be heard of in tho next Na tional Democratic administration. Maj. General (retired by Grant more than 20 years ago,) John A. McClernand has been confirmed as President of the Utah Commission, and bis friends are correspondingly happy. I suppose he will regard this as his vindication against that order. Congressman Pulitzer resigned last week because, he Bays, thcro is more glory, money and influence in tb'e World than in congress. He suc ceeded in making quite a stir the short time he was here. Out of 82 days he is recorded as being present six, and out of 44 roll calls ho voted 4 times ; but then it wonld bo better if half the Democratic reuresenta- tives were to resign. It is said that Cummings, the managing editor of tbe New York Sun wants his "old shoes." Two new candidates for the Presi dency are looming up ; one, Senator Blair, of N. H., who is the father of the Educational bill, and who longs to represent the laboring population ; and Secretary of the Navy, Whitney, who married the Standard oil king's, (Senator Payne) daughter, and who has a firm- friend in Uncle Sammy Tilden. Hundreds of Democratic editors all over tbe country are ready to fire off their guns as soon as the Whitney library bureau is estab lished and tbe numerous barrels are opened. Gen. Logan is taking things easy and is putting all his spare time on his "Great Conspiracy," which prom ises to create a sensation when it is Issued. His friends, however, are taking care of bis political prospects. The tariff bill reported to the House is more liberal than was ex pected, but it is my firm belief that no tariff bill will be adopted at this Eession. Tbe issue of standard dollars for tbe week ending April 10th, was $463,498, corresponding week last year, $198,498. The Republicans held a rousing caucus the other night and took steps for organizing a Congressional Com mittee. The Homestead laws are declared to be a farce in their operation in Minnesota, and tbe timber cutting is what nearly all tbe parties who pre-empt lead ere after. News It ttm.

The family of Mrs. Wise, residing near Galena, III., were chloroformed tho other night by robbers, who car ried off $200, a gold watch, and a revolver. Alonzo P. Kendall, 70 years old, living in a cottage at Lockland, Ohio, shot and killed a burglar who, with two others, was entering his room about midnight. It is stated that there are now 200,- 000,000 German carp in the United States, tho descendants of thirty-five fish brought to tho United States less than a dozen years ago.

The Sanpo river, which descends from tho 'Himalaya Mountains and flows nearly 1,000 miles along the southern border of the Thibet, has been tbe subject of more geographic al controversy than any other river in the world. News from Athens last week stated that Greek troops were being pushed to the frontier as rapidly as possible. Delivizow, mission minis ter to Greece, departed for Livadia to see tho Czar in pursuance of urgent request from his majesty. John Casey, supposed to be from Troy Mills, Iowa, was picked up the other day by one of tbe police officers, from the streets in Beatrice, Neb., in a dazed and perfectly help less condition. Medical aid was ren dered, but the day following he died. The outbreak of cholera in Italy is more serious than was at first stated. It is claimed that tbe authorities there have been concealing the truth re garding the ravages of tbe disease. The Austrian authorities have again establish ed a cordon on tbe Italian frontier, and every precaution will be taken to prevent the spread of the disease. A prairie fire the other day at Webster, Dak., consumed tho farm buildings of Mrs. Dollinger. When the buildings caught, she and her mother ran to the baru to save tbe stock.

Journal : It is not my pur pose to defend the Board of Super visors from tho onslaught of my friend Wise ; their acts are on record and their constituents will judge them accordingly. At our annual Town meeting the subject referred to necessarily came before that body on the approval of the action of the Town Board for tbe past year, when the matter was fully explained, and I have not heard a word of dissent from anyone on the subject. As an expounder of the law in Sherman township, our friend should make bis quotations correctly. The law of 1885 in regard to the pay of as sessors contains a clause requiring the county to pay tbe same, which was not in the original law. The pay of Town treasurers was also de fined, which was not in the original law, but this was crippled by other claims which makes it difficult to get competent men who aro willing to serve for the compensation. The Board of Canvassers are selected by the County Clerk, hence the obvious propriety of the county footing the bill. I believe that all election offic ers should be paid by the coun ty, but as there is nothing obliging, it leaves tbe question an open one. I presume that our friend, when he employes counsel in any matter about which he is in doubt, generally abides by the opinion so received. Why, then, should be blame others for doing the same thing ? But if the Town Board of Sherman township have any money to wasto in legisla tion, in appears to me it would bo better for them to pay their just debts, for if my memory serves me right, they are the only township which has not refunded to theconnty the amount advanced for blank books &c, at tbe first starting of the town ship organisation, and If, instead of so constantly complaining that they cannot run the Town on 7 mills tbe limit allowed by law they would make a virtue of necessity and not .wish to exceed it, they would be in the way of progress. 4-24-'86.
