Janea and barn of Frank Hairlih, of "Wahoo, Neb., were burned early one morning last week. The barn of W. Griffiny, of Table Rock, Neb., was net on fire the other night by the explosion of a lamp, and burned to the ground. A revised list of the injured in the railroad accident at Boston the other day shows that 24 persons were killed and 114 eeverely wounded. Geneva, Neb., is enthusiastic over a telegram stating that the North western railroad is a certainty. Grad ing commences immediately. W. G. Prosseb, a switchman in the St. Joe & Grand Island yards at Hastings, Neb., the other evening was run over and killed by. the cars. TnE new fast mail train from New York came in the other day to Kan sas City, Mo., over the Missouri Pacific at 10:5G; being one minute ahead of time. John E. Gledhill, the Chicago manager of the great Ansonia Clock Company of New York, is reported to have embezzled $31,000 of the com pany's money and fled to Canada. It 16 reported from Abilene, Kan., that Adjutant General Campbell has arrested fourteen of the participants in the recent county seat war, in which seven persons were killed. A cyclone swept through Tampa, Fla., the other night, destroying several houses. Two children were killed, one woman fatally injured and several persons severely hurt. Robt. Fubnance and Jessie Jen nings, two farmers, while crossing the railroad track near Nokomis, 111., in a wagon the other evening were struck by a train and instantly killed. Lettebs from Prague, at Berlin, refer to an earthquake the other day amnnd Pezibrom. and 6ay that the village of Brikenburg was destroyed, the inhabitants taking refuge in Prague. John Sanderson, of Broken Bow, Neb., quarrelled with his younger brother Samuel, and finally plunged a dirk into his brother's heart, killing him instantly. He was promptly arrested. TnE police at St. Petersburg have become alarmed. They have been informed that numerous bands of nihilists are ready for immediate action. It is understood that the po lice are fully armed. George R. Swift, member of the largest beef packing firm in Chicago, visited Omaha recently. It is rumor ed that he is looking about with the intention of establishing a packing house at South Omaha. J. W. Hendebson, a B. & M. agent at Angus, Neb., died very sud denly from bemorrage of the lungs. He had been very well, up to the time he commenced spitting blood, and died in a few minutes. Mobe than seven hundred archi tectural iron workers in Cincinnati, O., and Covington, Ky., struck the other day. They demand nine hours work and the same pay they now re ceive for ten hours' work. August Arf.nsen, a Swede, em ployed as night watchman on the Rock Island boarding train, fell be tween the cars at Ellis Station, Neb, the other afternoon and was fatally injured. He died the next day. It is 6tated that the Salvation Army is en route for the Pacific coast and has already arrived at Winnipeg. They intend, it is reported, to com mence work among the Indiana in the Northwest the coming summer. Doubtless a number of strati-re things will happen during the year 1887; among others- wo note there will be four changes of the moou every month of the year, except April and October, and they each will have five. The acting secretary of the tieasnry reports everything right with the tub-treasury at Chicago, which has recently been examined by a com mittee of experts, with the single ex ception that about $100 in counter feit money was found in the cash. Nothing new developed in the wicked Dr. Randall's case who was shot and killed in the court room on the disclosure of a part of his crime at Hastings, except the physician who examined the corpse declares ho was afflicted with a loathsome disease. It seems to be a pretty difficult matter for the president to fix upon commissioners under the inter-state commerce law. Those whose ap pointment would tend to satisfy the country do not seem anxious to serve ; there is probably little honor t.head, and certainly no great emolnment. The raging Missouri at Bismarck, Dak., on Saturday last had run the citizens on to the house tops, up the trees, etc., etc., with a reasonable prospect that great damage will result to property. It is said that this rise is equal to twenty feet in the upper river, the water at Bismarck being spread over six miles of country. Minnie Davy, a music teacher of Iroquoie. Ont., who went to Denver, Col., for ber health and taught music .there, and became acquainted with Ellwood Jenkins who ruined her un der promise of marriage. Dr. U. S. Clark the other day made A attempt to conceal the girl's shame; she is scarcely IS years of age, and died in naspeakable agony from the effects of abortion. Dr. Clark, Jenkens and a woman named Dell Davis are under arrest. The body of the nnfortunate girl has beea sent to her home Jn the ut. THE BIGHT TO PBOSPEI A Few Wrds that ifceSItnallea DfMEldK. Each man is presumed to have a rights to live until he forfeits that right by some act that proves him un fit or unsafe to bo a companion of I men. So it is with communities. Aggregate bodice of men are very fitly compared with individuals in every respect. Communities can only-show their right to prosper by doing the. things that lead to and command success. Emulate the good things done by a neighboring com munity and do better, if you can, but don't expect your own prosper ity to follow upon your preaching the pulling-down of your neighbors. These general principles are appli cable to and aimed at a good many newspapers in Nebraska, supposed to voice the sentiments of their im mediate, local constituency, but which certainly do not. Now, for instance: the Platte Center Argus, so far as its attitude toward Colombu9 is concerned, seems to hold the theory that all that is here, in the way ot improvements and business, ehould take unto itself legs or wings, aud walk or fiv awav. wiUinir or uuwill- ing, leaving the site of the city as bare as it was before the first settler came. According to the Argus, this portion of the county soem to havn no rights, as a constituent element of the county, except to pay taxes, at lpftst no rights that the Ar"U9 is bound to respect. Wo know that sensible people hold no such doc trines, entertain no such seutimentd. They believe that the prosperity of each tends to the prosperity of all. There arc a number of prosperous towns in Platte county; there will be others; the larger towns cannot, if they would,, prevent the 6tart or growth of othersthey are a product of the' country, and are both useful and necessary. Older communities, such as Columbus, Humphrey, Platte Center, Dorrance and Duncan must expect to see towns grow up near them, and must content themselves as best they can at the loss of trade, through this means, and endeavor to make it up in some other way. The Journal remembers when men came hero in ox carts eighty, ninety miles to sell wheat and get their supplies, but those days have long since gone by. It would have been foolishness personified for Columbus to set her felf against the organization and growth of, say Osceola, David City, Bellwood, Albion, Fullorton, Genoa, Norfolk. Madisou, etc., and she did not do so. Seeing that these things were in evitable, and.on the whole, necessary to the welfare of tne country, me Journal, years ago, advocated the policy of instituting manufactures of various kinds such as would supply the growing wants of the west, thus taking Time by the forelock, and securing lasting prosperity to the city, and this iB the fair policy now for any western community. Build your town by good deeds, and not by trying to tear others down. This has been both the theory and practice of Columbus, and doubt less will continue to be. The Billy prejudices against Colum bus, the county scat, that are now being mouthed through the Argus, will have no other effect than to call attention to the littleness, both of intellect and sentiment which give them utterance, and to stimulate some, who have not beforo consider ed the underlying motive, to now see clearly why the Argus is so hotly trying to embroil fair-minded men and neighbors in a local, county fight. m Hard Work to Wind Up a Prayer. Representative W. W. Rice, of Massachusetts, being called upon for a few feeble remarks at the end of a dinner last week, said that the pre siding genius reminded him of a Methodist convert down in Maine. He had been anything bnt'a praying man, yet when he had once joined the church the brethren thought be ought to be praying all the time. He was very slow to set about it. In fact, he positively refused in much fear and trembling. But after awhile, by dint of assiduity and dextrous tact, his near neighbor and close friend got him up in a prayer meet ing one night. Once up ho prayed aB though be could not stop. He prayed for the universe, the world, America, the United States, the state of Maine and the county of Aroos took, not forgetting the good people of Bangor. He prayed for the church universal, militant and triumphant, general and particular, abroad and at home. He prayed for everybody in his own congregation, present or absent, collectively and individually; he began to repeat himself. At last he turned to his friend and said in a loud whisper: "It's easy enough to pray, but it's mighty hard to peter it out right." Ex. Chicago CerraptieaistN. The Chicago Mail is nndonbtcdly doing a good work for that city. Without unnecessary yerbiage, the Mail told the story of Cook county corruption by massing the testimony, then publishing the facts. The pub lic, prosecuting machinery seems to be doing its duty as to the remainder. People may talk as they please in re gard to newspapers, but it is mainly by them of through their powerful aid that abuses are corrected, and corrupt public officials punished for their rascalities. Just as the bring ing of "Bo6s" Tweed in New York to deserved punishment had a saving influenco upon the entire country, and no donbt 6tayed the hand ot many an official who was about to mako a dishonest grab from some public treasury, so will the work of tbfe Mail do good. By the way, those who want a live, active Chicago paper, giving the daily news in a nut-shell, should see a copy of the Mail and act accordingly. We learn from a gentleman who arrived in Hastings last night, of a ead accident on a Hannibal & St. Joe train east of St. Joe night before last. A little girl, while half awake, walk ed out on the platform at miduight and at a time when the train was making thirty miles an hour. She either stepped from the platform or was blown off. As soon as the mis hap was discovered the train was stopped and backed up, but nothing could be found of the little girl, and the search had to be finally abandon ed and the train proceeded to St. Joe. An uncle of the girl remained in the vicinity to prosecute the search after daylight Gazette-Journal William Rogebs, a young man who was working at the Missouri Horse Ranch, while tying a horse in Mr. Losey's stable Thursday, got the thumb of his left hand caught in the loop of the halter, when the horse took fright and backed np, pulling off bis thumb at the first joint, aud pulled out one of the tendons lead ing back into the arm nearly to the elbow, making a very ngly wound Dr. Long dressed the wound, and in order to make a good job he was obliged to take off the thumb at the second joint. We loarn that the wound is doing well. Madison Chronicle The Albion News says: "A good town is one in which the farmer spends his money with the home merchants, tho laborers spend the money earned with their4ocal trades men; where the feeling and good will Of every citizen is in sympathy with home industries,where ever y ar ticle that can be is bought of the local dealers or manufacturers. This spirit i of reciprocity between business men and merchants, tradesmen, laborers and farmers, all makes business lively, the town prospers and grows, and above all, is a pleasant place in which to live." Wolseley, the Englishman, who gives such high praise to Robert E. Lee as a military commandor, re ceives a just criticism at the hands of the Chicago Times, which says : "It might be well to remember that Wolseley himself was whipped out of Egypt by a wild Arab totally un tutored in the arts of war, and has never shown such knowledge of generalship as would constitute him a capable judge of military views and achievements." Wolseley had better keep quiet. A newspapeb to be continually talking about and praising itself and its enterprise, awakens the suspicion (which usually proves correct) that it has jumped a cog somewhere, and that things are not exactly ruuning as smooth as they might. The Italians (we believe) have a. homely proverb that it isn't always the pig that gets his foot in the trough and squeals the loudest and oftenest, that gets the most swill I Fremont Her ald. Jehu Bakeb went to Washington to more effectually study the labor question and other subjects liable to come up for discussion in the next congress. His unobtrusive presence did not become known to reporters for several days. The Chicago Mail remarks that "Baker doesn't make much noi6e loading his gun, but when he pulls the trigger ammunition is not wasted." Dr. G. Randall, of Hastiugs,Neb., was arrested the other evening at the instance of Mr. Hart, ot Edgar, who had permitted his daughter to go with the Dr. to Hastings for medical treatment, and who m the father now charges with scandalo us and crimin al conduct, and for more than three weeks compelled her to submit to bis lustful embraces. At this writ ing the bearing bad not taken place. J. II. Mickey, who formerly had eomo prominence in Polk county politics, is taking a lead in church matters; we notice that recently he read a sermon at both morning and evening service at Osceola. He might preach a very interesting, original sermon on the "opportu nities" of statesmen. W. J. McGarigle, warden of the county hospital ; Henry Varnell, war den of the county insane asylum; Edward McDonald, the engineer, aud D. Q. Driscoll and James Connelly, hospital employes, all Cook county officials are under indictment and arrest, charged with conspiracy to defraud. Emperor William, on receiving the French General, Marquis d' Abzae, said : "Tell your compatriots that there is no danger of war. So long as I live I will use my influence to maintain peace. God will soon call me to himself. I do not wish to leave my people a heritage of blood. Germany shares my desires for good relations with France." It was announced in Omaha last week in a circular issued from Gen. Sup't Smith's office noting the fact that Division Sup't Dorrance bad re signed, and also that the duties of that office will be performed by AsB't. Gen. Sup't. Dickenson, who has moved his office from Denver to Omaha. Fully 40,000 people shivered in the cold at Chicago to witness the funeral of Mrs. Neebe, and who were only rewarded by the sight of a pro cession that, except in size, differed only in a few minor details from any ordinary funeral. During the cere monies everything was quiet and orderly. It was generally believed in Wall street, New York, last week that the control of the Baltimore & Ohio road had passed into the hapds of the syndicate. It is believed that Jay Gould has acquired a quarter interest in the syndicate and has paid $1,400,- 000 in cash on agreemtati. i The tenth annual encampment, of the Grand Army of the Republic of tho Department of Nebraska was In session last week in Omaha. Among a good deal of business transacted, Hon. H. C. Russell, of Schuyler, iv.ie elected Department Commander, on the third ballot. Omaha was selected as tho next place to hold the stato re-union, and the time fixed id the week commencing Monday, Sep tember 5th. Wm. F. Cody, known as "Buffalo Bill," has been appointed aid on the staff of Governor Thayer, wish the rank of Colonel. The appointment is a deserved recognition of his val uable .services as chief of scouts in several frontier campaigns, and will, perhaps, give him some pres ie with the "effete monarchs" whom Bill is about to visit as a showman. Thebe are indications that most of the railroads in Nebraska have in contemplation considerable building of new track the coming summer. The B. & M. people are already pushing the work on their Wahoo and ccbuyler branch and it will be ready to receive tho iron, it it said, within two months. Mirny other improvements are talked of by this road within the state. Chas. Lewis, the young man. who robbed Senator Spriek ut Lincoln, but who was brought to book by the Senator, received a sentence ot live years to tho penitentiary lor his crime. It was bis second offence. The Laaer Cawe. , The jury in tho case of the Slate va. J. W. Lauer, at Omaha, for the mur der of his wile, whom Lauer claimed he killed by mistakb for a burglar, returned a verdict. Saturday evening, of not guilty. Fir at Kearney. At 1 o'clock Saturday the livery stable owned by George Hnlbert and now occupied by Ingram Bros., was in an hour burned to the ground. Sixteen horses and one thoroughbred bull were burned to death. Loss of property estimated at $4,000. lMda't Fix It. The bridge at Boston which caused the terrible railroad accident was pro nounced at the investigation by T. D. Moses, a civil engineer, a mechanical deformity, and considered it danger ous. Within two weeks he bad spo ken to Superintendent Folsom, sug gesting that he make it safe. The Villa la Dead. The case of Dr. G. W. Randall was called at Hastings, Neb., last Friday ; he was charged with- ravishing the eleven year old daughter of Marion Hart, of Edgar. While the girl was giving her testimony and bad detailed some of the horrid acts of the Dr. and his pretended wife in committing the crime, suddenly, and without warn ing, Randall fell to the floor, shot through the head, by whom no one knows. The excitement runs high against the dead Dr'a pretended wife, who has taken Fuch a decided criminal part in the affair. A BaffaleHamaa Sacrifice. The Richmond hotel and St. James Hall at Buffalo, N. Y., were burned on the morning of tho 18ib. The house contained a large number of gueBts, and their heart-rending cries could be distinctly heard for blocks away, and at many windows they could be seen calling for help. The most correct report we havo places the number who lost their lives at thirty, together with a large number seriously, if not fatally, in jured. It is not known how the fire originated. The loss in value of prop erty is estimated at half a million dollars. Crashed to Death. A brakemam named Win. Pressor, employed on the St. Joe & Western road, was crushed to death between the cars at Hanson station iu this county last evening. Tho unfortu nate young man was engaged in making a coupling when ho was caught between tho bumpers and crushed. The body was brought to this city and was this morning taken to Edgar, where the parents of the deceased reside. To add to the extreme sad blow to parents, is the fact that just a week ago a brother of William wan killed in an accident at Sutton. Hastings Gazette-Journal, March 1C. WaMhlatetea letter. (From our regular correspondent.) The question of an extra session of the Fiftieth Congress to begin in October and rnn into the regular ses sion, is now a topic of speculation here. Officers of the Executive De partments hope such a calamity will be averted, as the President is re ported as saying that be would not call Congress together unless it be came necessary, in order to avoid a financial flepression. Officers of the Departments have a much happier life when Congress is away, for with it always comes a horde of office hunters who linger as long as the session lasts. But the business of this great country has grown too vast to be carried on by the methods which served well enough half a century ago. Not one-tenth of the work that Congress ought to do ever gets done at all, and one of the chief reasons for this is the waste of time from March to January, for although Con gress meets on the first Monday in December, it never gets down to business before the holidays. The cure for this is in the Presi dent's handB. The Fiftieth Congress began its official existence on the 4th of this month and its members are now on pay. He has only to ex ercise his prerogative of convening Congress and pointing out the work which most needs its attention. If he neglects to do this, he will be largely responsible for the failure of necessary legislation. The most important legislation ex pected of the Congress just ended failed because of the stupid 'organiza tion of the House. Speaker Carlisle demonstrated an utter lack of judg ment and political leadership in assigning Mr. Randall to a control- J STATEMENT or The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, RICHARD k. leCurdy, President.

It is stated that 6ince the adjournment of Congress, several prominent dem ocratic members have told Mr. Car lisle that unless ho promised to keep Mr. Randall off the appropriations committee at the next session, they would not support him (Carlisle) for re-election to the Speakership. The hundreds of Government clerk-i who are suffering I'rcm the unsanitary condition of the Treasury building place all the responsibility for the tailuro of the bill to improve it on Mr. Randall's shoulders. His ditWOMiiot: i? to oppose all appro priations that are'not in hi- opinion necessary. When spoken to in re gard to the unhealthful air ot the Treasury, he foolishly remarked that he had visited that Department on several occasions, and could not smell any sewer gas. The Democratic party promises to be weakened in the next Congress even beyond its present condition. The Fiftieth Congress will come in with two-thirds of the Democrats new men, and those who have studied its composition carefully since the election agree that the personnel is weak. A Democratic member who was talking on tho subject recently, acknowledged that everything in the last House went to the bad, as far as the party wa3 concerned, for wanteof a leader, and he added that the next House would be a mere plaything in the hands of the Republicans on ac count of the new recruits on the other side who aro utterly without experience or reputation. It re quires an apprenticeship of two years for a man to learn the parlia mentary rules and working methods of Couirress. and in the matter of leadership the Republicans stood in bold contrast to the Democrats in the House which has just closed its ex istence. ' As Senator Edmunds i seldom drawn into free expressions of his views on certain subjects, they are all the more prized when he does oc casionally iudulge in talk. Iu his opinion, Mr. Cleveland's administra tion is nut successful, whatever the desires and intentions of those at the head of affairs may have been. It was impossible for them to follow out a successful policy with the weight of a party so composed, while all the Presidents havo made some bad appointments, ho thinks Mr. Cleveland has been moro oflen betrayed than any. A largo percen tage of bis appointees have been either incompetent or improper per sons, or, being competent, have been rascals. Some of these men he has selected without knowing anything about them ; others he Las appointed upon the endorsement of members of Congress of his own party who have not hesitated to betray his con fidence. "President Cleveland has been pulled both ways" continued the Senator from Vermont, "between bis civil service reform pledges and the party pressure. Sometimes he ap peared to hold to the one and some times to yield to the other." The Senator firmly believes that the Dem ocrats will re-nominate him, bow ever, for fear they cannot find another man who would do aB well. w. In this department the people talk, and not the editor.

There are a great many things therein that the young men of this country should have in tho shape of a true and faithful biography. I know he has friends. Will no patriotic friend undertake the taqk? Truthful orders, at this time, from the records of his official department, mighr not tend to slartle great generals in the field, and let them know, as well as a rebellious enemy, that the purpose of that war was to deliver the country from the hands of traitors. By all means, let the story of Stanton's life be told. There is patriotism enough left in the hearts of the people to induce some one friend fully qualified to write out the life of this patriotic Secretary of War. Iu this way many interesting facts may be made known to the country, and many bright and useful pages guide to patriotic action by the young men of the country. a. n riexd. The great Secretary's work has always been appreciated by those conversant with the history of the Rebellion, aud the time bas come when the general public is ready to listen, without prejudice, to the life which is to be written of one of the central figures in the war for the sup pression of the Rebellion.
