"Winteb and spring wheat are looking excellent in every state but Kansas. The first mention of free trade in print was a notice of its operations in Hungary in 1903. The Nebraska militia are to be supplied with new-modeled Spring field rifles to take the place of the old muskets. In a number of counties in this state flax has been sown by way of experiment to see if it will be more profitable than wheat. B. P. Sastzbs, of Shelby, Neb., is the owner of an alleged "mad stone" which was brought from France twenty-nine years ago. Papers at Belfast of a recent date published an advertisement for 20, 000 Snyder rifles and bayonets, to be dfiiivflredat Antrim on or before June next. Senator Van Wyck introduced a bill the other day to authorize the Union Pacific Railroad company to construct branch roads. The bill was referred. A tornado passed through Wayne county, Ind., thirteen miles north of Connersvillo the other night, destroy ing every thing in its track. One woman and two men were killed. William Studtman, while playing base ball the other day near Kanka kee 111., was struck on the side of the head by a ball from tho pitcher, and died in ten minutes. He leaves a family. President Cleveland ascended to the top of the Washington monu ment the other day. As he was coming down he said: "I did not know that Washington waB 6uch a pretty city before." Miss Miller, who lived at Gennessee, M. T., went to a ball, danced all night, and went home to bed, where, the following day, she was found dead. It is claimed she danced herself to death. Droves of wild horses arc re ported to bo in the Mississippi river bottoms, about one hundred miles abovo MemphiB. They are supposed to have originated from horses lost by tho Confederate Gen. Forrest, during his campaigns. Senator Plumb of Kansas rightly argues that the United States can supply all South America with many things now furnished by England, and that tho true policy is to en courage American lines of steamers between here and there. The legislature of Ohio has passed a law creating the office of State Dairy and Food Commission, with three assistants. The Commissioner shall protect the dairymen from bogus butter dealers and the people from all sorts of adulterated food. The New York Times 6ays: In the early stages of an acute outbreak of anarchy a gatling gun, or if the case be severe, two, is the sovereign remedy. Later on, hemp, injudicious doses, has an admirable effect in preventing tho spread of the disease. The body of L. Piatt, a stock buy er, was found the other morning in a pond near Jessup, Buchanan county Iowa, with a bullet hole in his head. Ho had not- been seen since last week, when he was supposed to have a large sum of money in his possession. A vert severe storm passed over Burlington, Iowa, tho othor after noon and lightning struck a board ing house and killed Gustav Milf, a German carpenter, and knocked down all the other inmates of the house. The dwelling of Frank Geiger was struck by lightning and burned. The United States has always held herself out as an asylum for the oppressed of every land. So she is, but she never said that she was the world's lunatic asylum. Send the anarchist madmen back wheuce they came and require hereafter a bill of mental health from every im migrant. Lincoln Journal. There bad been no attempt to re sume operations in the West Side lumber district in Chicago, up to the 11th inst., and the eight to ten thous and men employed in the yards and planing mills are still idle. The lumber men claim that the great ma jority of the men are overawed by the Bohemian socialists who infest the region. The following is a tolerably large story at all points. A Wis consin lumberman was cangnt by a rolling log the other day and held so fast that be was unable to get away. He yelled in vain for help. While lying thero a big bear came up to him. He drew his re volver and fired six stints, killing the bear, and these fchot6 were heard by a lumberman, who went to see what was going on, and released the pris oner. A public test was given the other day at Cleveland of the telephone, which was operated between Cleve land and New Tork by Count Mirkieweez, representing a Balti more invention. The wires were made ap to cover as long a distance ai possible, a circuit of 1,600 miles. A special feature of the test was the waging by Miss Emma Abbott and His Hellina,of the Abbott Opera Ceaapany. Songs were also sung by the parties at New York, all of which were distinctly beard by every one at Cleveland. A test will be made soon fim a lis across the AUastic Ocean. A SaggestioM. Political parties are growths, nat ural enough, out of existing circum stances and tendencies. The conflict ing interests of person and property have been the foundation of many political parties, and will continue to be. The rights of persons, as such, are often jeopardized by the encroachment of moneyed monopo lies, and tho accumulation of the latter are by no means secure. Justice is the only enduring basii, and tho enforcement of the laws, the only efficient eafeguard for all interests. Every man has his notions, and should take the trouble to give them expression. The wisdom of the world is not confined to a few men who happen to bo in office, or whose business it is to make a living by writing for the newspapers. W. H. Benson of Philadelphia has given the world the benefit of his thinking, and as some (if not all his propositions) are worthy of notice, we herein reproduce them for our readers : 1. Every person 6hall be allowed to own $1,000 worth of real estate ex emDt from taxation of any kind, lu a republic like ours, every man should be stimulated and encouraged to acquire a homestead for himself. 2. Articles of necessity shall not be taxed, either directly or indirect ly, by the United States, or by any other 6tate. Every government should rise its revenue by taxing lux uries, not the necessities of life. 3. The United States senator shall be elected directly by the people, and not by the legislatures of the different -states. At present mem bers of the legislature arc apt to be bribed and bought, either directly or indirectly, by rich political scound rels. 4. After the year 1890 no man shall be appointed an officer in the army of the United States' until he has served with honor and credit for three years in the ranks. The offi cers of our army at present are alto gether too aristocratic for a republic like ours. 5. Both the political parties have become corrupt with age and are controlled by rich men aud power ful corporations, and are no longer worthy the support of the free citi zens of a free republic. G. This country for tho future shall be governed, not in mere words but in real act, for the greatest jjood of the greatest number. 7. Our statesman should devise some plan by which the profits re sulting from the combiued use of la bor and capital shall be more equit ably divided between the laborer and the capitalist. While the Journal has always held to the doctrino that statutory enactments are not the be-all and end-all of life, it yet happens to b"o true that the statute represents the marching line of public opinion. Whatever is thus agreed upon as necessary to tho common welfare, should be incorporated into laws, and that enforced by the whole pow er of tho government when necessary. The Journal, if it could, would cm blazon on the heavens above and the earth beneath, and on the fore bead of every officer in the laud sworn to do duty, "Enforce the laws." Now that we are again about to elect our state representatives aud senators, congressmen, &c, let us consider, advise and re-consider what ought to be done, and let each man tell his neighbor what he thinka. Public opinion is the aggregation of individual thought. Iat and future. An old-timer, writing to tho Oma ha Republican of a portion of the country between this and Lincoln speaks of tho past in such a way as to make tho reader wonder what No baaska will bo a quarter of a century hence : "Passing over tho divide separat ing the waters of the Blue and Mid dle creek, and gliding rapidly by farm after farm whero all is activity w"4i the wide awake farmers we enter the valley of Middle creek. This is a superb district of country. Tho little new towns of Pleasant Dale and Emerald aro bright and prosper ous. Now tho Capital City is in sight and as we ga ze upon it with all its splendid proportion, we are led to think of other days, when first we trod the ground and saw this great wilderness. In the summer of 1802 it was our fortune to visit the Salt Basin, and the site of the city of Lin coln. Its only inhabitants at the time was a herd of antelope, which were playing their antics on what is now government square. Greater wonders occurred hero than met the eyes of Rip Van Winkle when he .awoke from his twenty years sleep. At that time no white man had a dwelling northward or westward between this and the Platto river, except a few ranchmen on tho great roads leading to the mountains. Now behold a grand and beautiful city of 25,000 inhabi tants, surrounded by a grand aggre gation of farms, and thickly set with an array of towns that sbino as jew els in her crown. Lincoln is a prodiiry. The whole of Nebraska is a prodigy. When this city was located we were enthusiastic in regard to the future of it. We expected to pee Lincoln become a city of at least 5,000 people. Our eastern friends laughed at ns. But with all our en thusiasm and all our faith we could not sec as we now see, and the end is not vet." The trial of Alderman Henry W Jachen, of New. York, for accepting a bribe of .$ 20,000 to vote for the pass age of the Broadway railroad fran chise, was begun ono day Ia?t week. It became confident from the outside that a stubborn defense was to be made. At the hour of adjournment five of the jury had been chosen out of forty persons examined. Word comes from Edgar, Neb., that John Ford's barn was broken into the other night and 6ome goods stolen from a peddling wagon found there. The barn was attempted to be fired, but the timber being green, it did not burn. No bay or straw to help the fire get-a good start. No clew to the thieves. A han named Macon, at Am boy, Neb., the other night entered the sleeping room of Minnie Wild, and attempted to outrage her person. War rants are ont for his arrest, but It is toted ha has fled to Emmi. A Cyclase flrrr Struck Kansas City on the 11th inst., and lasted from 11 o'clock till noon. The court house was totally demolished above the second story and a number of persons were hurt there. The Lathrop school building was wrecked and many children were caught in the ruins aud killed. Twelve reported killed. The overall factory was blown down and ten or twelve persons killed and others badly injured. The old waterworks building was blown down and one or wo persons there are missing. The span of the bridge next to Harlem was blown down and it is re ported that forty persons were killed at the bridge. The span waB blown into the Missouri river, blocking the Hanibal & St. Joe and Council Bluffs roads. The fury of the storm was confined to the north end of the city. The main office of the West ern Union Telegraph building is in this part of the city and the poles are heavily weighted with wires, which broke off, letting the wires down in a tangled heap. Many wires were also carried down with the broken bridge. Of the four buildings wrecked all were more or less unsound. The school house has been twice condemn ed, and the court house, by many, was considered unsafe. The storm was a violent wind accompanied by a flood of water and some hail. Many new buildings in the conrse of erection were blown down, and a number of church buildings greatly damng d. The total damage to property will be more than 150,000. Caa Yoa. Nebraska is destined to be quite a manufacturing stato in one way or another, and one of the interests not least in the list will be that of can ning vegetables, &c. Several towns have already done something, more are to follow, and so the ball will be kept rolling until the business will be simply immense in its proportions. Now here comes the York Jiepubli can, with this item, and what York can can, Columbus can can also, be cause there is ample market for all the product : "Our canning factory is now com pleted and in good running order. The building is 40x100 feet, two story, with 18 feet posts. The engine room is 24x30 with 14 feet posts. All the machinery is ordered. The gaso line fixtures used for soldering pur poses are up and in use, and they havo the appliances for turning off 4,i00 cans per day. lhey have three men at work and have advertised for five more. At present they are run ning off 1,000 cans per day, but will soon be full handed and able to run off the full quota. Four car loads of tin are ordered aud on the road. The farmers will now have a market for fruit at home, and the buyers will have fruit in good condition and at better rates." Terrible Freight Wreck. A freight train accident on the evening of the 10th inst., occurcd on the Pennsylvania road near Conne angh, by which three men were in stantly killed and twenty-five cars wrecked. Tho accident was the result of a heavy storm that swept through the Conneaugb, tho night before. The tornado picked up several empty freight cars standing on a side track, and carried them to the main track. A heavy, west-bound freight train going at the rate of thirty miles an hour crashed into the obstruction before the engineer could check his train. Twenty-five cars were totally demolished and tho wreck strewn along the-track for several hundred yards. The engineer, conductor and fire man were instantly killed. The loss will reach several thousand dollars. WatthiBBtOB Letter. (From our regular correspondent.) WAsniNOTON, May 13,1886. Tho President and bis Cabinet do not intend to work much during the summer. Each is on pleasure bent, recent Secretary of the Treasury will probably go to Old Point Comfort where he will remain several weeks, while his Albany residence ib being put in order for himself and family. It was rumored about the hotels a few evenings since that Secretary Manning had suffered a relapse. This report originated from the fact that in the last few days he has not been improving so fast as was ex pected on account of the mental dis turbance brought about by a confer ence with tho President. Mr. Man ning, urged by his family and friends, bad about made up his mind to re tire from the Cabinet and seek rest in foreign travel. This determina tion the President firmly combatted for political reasons. He pointed out the chaotic state Into which the New York democracy would be thrown by the loss of Mr. Manning. Having already taken two members of his Cabinet from New York, Mr. Cleveland knew he could not elevate another man from that state to a Secretaryship without 6tirring up violent opposition in tho South and West. Mr. Cleveland relics very much on Mr. Manning's political sagacity. The man whom he credits with de signs upon the party in 1888, is David Bennett Hill of New York, and Man ning is the only man who can ont ma neuver the Governor. The Adminis tration Democrats, with Cleveland at their head, are therefore very averse to permitting Secretary Manning to withdraw from politics. As for the Department, that is a vast machine, which, now that Mr. Manning's pol icy is well defined, will rnn itself, as it has frequently done in the past, nnder the able guidance of the Sec retary's assistants. So it has cpme to pass, it is affirmed, that Mr. Man ning is to retain the portfolio and whip la the boys, while Assistant Secretary FjJrcbild is to do the work. Within the past few days extraor dinary pressure haB been brought to bear npon the Secretary by the party in New York. The result of the November elections in that state is said to depend very largely upon the retention of the. Treasury Depart ment by a New York man. "We cannot let Manning go," said Tim Campbell of Now York last night. "Cleveland cannot let him go. Man ning is the connecting link between Cleveland and the party." At the Soldiers' Home, three miles from the city, they are beginning to make the annual preparations for the President. The cottage there which is known as the President's cottage is really the property of the soldiers. He occupies it ou invita tions from the inmates. It is usual at the beginning of the summer to circulate a paper among them for their signatures, inviting the Presi dent to use the cottage. The oil sol diers like to have the Presents come, because their presence there adds much life and interest to the place. When the Executive stays at the Home he virtually lives jfc the bounty of these retired Vetera. All of the supplies for his tablecome from their farm and comdfissary stores. The cottage is also mantain ed at their expense. Every President enjoys this change from living in the White House. When George William CurthT, the boss mugwump or them all. was Elected President of the Civil Ser vice Reform Association a few even ings since, he took advantage of the occasion to make some remarks. He 6aid that President Cleveland's sin cerity and courage in regard to re form was unqnestionable, but he could not succeed. In tho first place, according to Mr. Curtis, the President coifld not have formed a Cabinet devoted to civil service re form because his party did not afford the material. "When he became President," said Mr. Curtis, "he was subjected to such a pressure as no other President ever experienced. The entire body of the party decend ed on him at ouce for a demand for a clean sweep of all the civil offices." But Mr. Curtis admits that Mr. Cleveland, like every other President has felt the necessity of party sup port, and his course, he says, "must be a compromise between his party on one hand and the interests of re form on the other, and the inevitable end of such a course is disaster." The great social event of the week will be the Kirmes to be givln at the Nationial Theatre on Thursday and Jsaturday evenings. Tho dances of the various Nations will be given in costume by society maidens, who have been thinking of nothing else for at least two months. Prepara tions for the affair are on a scale of magnificence never before attempted in Washington, and as it is for a charitable object, seats have sold read ily for enormous prices. The Presi dent, W. W. Corcoran, Mrs. Whitney the wife of the Secrotary, and others have taken boxes for the two nights, at 200 apiece. Neurit IVotes. Chadron claims seven houses which aro doing business. wholesale a rushing The G. A. R. reunion committee has contracted for 800 large tents for use at Grand Island this year. Pat Kennedy, of Plattsmouth, was run over by a train the other day at Kansas City, aud instantly killed. The yield of gold in Australia last year was 784,000 ounces, a small in crease over that of the preceding year. The first proclamation for public fasting and prayer in New Hamp shire published in a newspaper, ap peared in May, 1704. Two Ca.s county boys, brothers, by the name of Fitnple, have been sentenced to the penitentiary for eight years for horse stealing. J. C. Mieeaugh, of Fremont, was thrown against a barb wire fence the other day by a runaway team, and his head seriously injured. Turkey and Greece are hurrying troups to the front. Several Europe an papers aro of the opinion that Russia will secretly support Greece. More elk, deer and mountain sheep were grazing in the Yellowstone National Park during the past winter than had been seen there for many years. The gambling-houses at Hastings have been clioscd by the authorities. And so the law gets enforced oc casionly, if not in one place, then in another. George Deband, returning to his home from Riverton, Neb., the other night, was attacked by tramps, knocked down and badly bertcn. The tramps escaped. The noted case of W. H. L. Max well, charged with the murder of C. A. Prcller, at St. Louis, April 7, 1885, was commenced last week. Thirty six persons were examined. One who knows, saj p, it is a good way to quiet a noisy canary to put in his cage a small mirror, when he will 6top singiug and look at himself with evident satisfaction for hours at a time. Ed. Davis, a Burlington & Missouri River railroad contractor, on his way one day last week to take charge of a grading party at Grand Island, Neb., shot and killed himself at Kansas City. He had been drinking heavily. Norman J. Loudsbubg, a farmer aged 72, living near Oswego, N. Y., one morning last week shot and kill ed his wife, aged 17, Horace Payson, aged about 30, and himself. The cause of the terrible shooting was on account of the belief of Loudsburg that improper relations existed be tween bis yaaag wife and Payson. The body of Kate Biukmau, a youn woman, wax found in tho river at Shcbyoan, Wis., the other morning. It is supposed that she was murdered. While a railroad train was rattl ing through Dakota, an Icelander girl, an emigrant, jumped from a car, ran 300 yards, gathered her apron full of flowers, and returned smiling to the train, which had been stopped where her reckless jump was made. A colored mnn living on Fren church street, Norfolk, Va., in a fit of nausea the other day, ejected from his stomach a black snake fully a foot long, aud says it is the second one he has thrown up. The colored patient attributes his sufferings, which have been severe, to the drink ing of hydrant water. The Chicago Herald among its "missing links" says : Snake stories come in but slowly, considering the season is so far advanced. The new est is that of a snake with twelve flint rocks inside of it, some of them as large as partridge eggs, which was killed by a bridge building party last week on Yellow River, Ga. A "flower concert" was given at Concord, Mass., the other evening. A screen, painted to represent a scene in a flower garden, stood on the stage, and before it were potted plants in profusion. Some of the painted flowers were very large, and in the center of etich big flower was an opening skillfully concaled by a movable cover. Behind the screen stood the siugeiv, and their faces ap peared in the center of tho flowers. The singing llo.vr-5 were a rose, a dahlia, a sunflower, a dullbdil, a pan sy, a lily, a tulip, a daisy, and a but tercup. One of the most rcnmrkablo cases ever heard of transpired at Urbana, Ohio, a few days ago by Joseph V. Longfellow entering suit for divorce from Rosa Norman. Tho strange part of the proceedings is that the records in the Probate Judge's office show that the parlies were married Sept., 14, 1884, though neither knew of any such marriage relation, and they had never lived together for a moment. The parties claim that they know nothing of such a record until April 17, 18S0, when they acci dentally came across it in the Probate Judge's office. Tho petition charges that the application for license for the alleged marriage, and the issue and the return were fraudulently procured without the knowledge or conseut of either, by one Rev. James Ran dell, of the Baptist church, with intent to procure money by fraud, of the plaintiff. Vitiated lllood. About a year and a half ago I had blood poison. I was treated for the first three months by a doctor in the regular profession, and instead of getting well I grew worse all the time. The eruption, the sore mouth and throat, and the falling hair pro gressed right along. A friend ad vised me to take S. S. S., and I have blessed him ever since. By the time I had used the third bottle the dis ease began to disappear, and by the time I had taken teu bottles of the Specific I was perfectly well, and have not since that time seen any sign of the disease. A. W. Crozier, 134 Thompson st. New York, Feb. 1, 1886. Tlalnrlal PoInor. For many long months I was a sufferer from malaria, and could get no relief. I eked out an existence in utter despair, having vertigo and numerous unpleasant symptoms of that insidious poison. I began taking S. S. S., and improved at once. My appotito returned and my strength came again. The vertigo left, aud from 120 pounds I went up to 1(50 pounds, my present weight.
