WEDNESDAY, MAKC1I 30. 1S87. Is the wheat growing states recent re ports place the crop in splendid condi tion. A mo fire the other day at Chautauqua, N. Y., came near burning the whole town. Jacob Kaiix, (he fourteenth victim of the Richmond hotel fire, died at Buffalo Friday. ' It is claimed that Denver is the highest of stato capitals, J)eing J,175 feet above the sea level. Edwakd Bgkxes, a Union Pacific brakeman, was killed the other morning at Omaha wlulexoupling cars. Tirn Sutton National bank of Nebras ka has been authorized to commence business with a capital of 30,000. Thosias J. Herding, the Glendale stage robber, found guilty of murder, was hanged the other day at Dillon. Hon. James G. Blaine, accompanied by his daughter, was in New York City last week. It was intimated that they inted to proceed west. Tnc legislature light over the Omaha charter has ended, the act has passed both houses and only awaits the approv al of the governor to become a law. iNEXHArsTiKLE deposits of rock salt have been reported as found in the gulches of southwestern Nebraska. A geologist believes this accounts for the salt water at Lincoln. John Marvin shot and killed Frank Nebergall the other evening at Falls City, Neb. He was immediately arrested, and claims that the killing was entirely unintentional and accidental. Carter, 1L Harrison was nominated tho other day by the democrats of Chi cago for nun or. lie declined at first, but his lriends insisted and he after wards said he could accept the nomina tion. Mrs. Dr. Randall, who figured in tho Hastings tragedy of her husband, was rearrested, waived examination, and was committed to jail in default of $1,000 bail. She has been taken to tho Kear ney jail for safe keeping. Charles Cook, in jail at Central City, Neb., on a charge of burglary, made his escape the other night. He is five feet high, dark sandy hair, dark complection and scar on left side of upper lip. He is about twentv-five vears old. Willie Sells, who was tried and sen tenced to be hanged for the murder of his father's family, father, mother, sister aud brother, living near Erie, Kas., over a year ago, now makes confession of com mitting the horrible and unnatural mur ders. The acting secretary of the treasury has issued a call for tho redemption of $10,000,000 or the 3 per cent loan of 1882; the principal and accuring interest will be paid at the treasury of the U. S. in Washington. May 1, 'S7. and interest on bonds will cease on that day. On tho evening, of tho 2Cth inst,, at Nebraska City, Neb., during tho thun der storm, Mrs. Ferdinand Hefnko re ceived a stroke of lightning. She was pumping water when tho lightning struck the windmill with the above re sult. Her physician thinks she will not recover. Jerry O'Levhy, a crazy man, turned up in Crete, Neb., the other night. No one knows him and no one can find out where he belongs. Ho says he has :dso been known by the name of James Leavitt, and insists that parties are tracking him for-murder and many other crimes. A report was put in circulation not many days ago at Chadron, Neb., that the United States paymaster from Cheyenno was robbed of S7.500 at Antelope Springs, a stage station, between Doug las and Buffalo, on the Ft Fettennan and Ft McKinnev stage road. It was stolen from tho stage while tho pay master wits at dinner. A recent report from David City gives the result of the election held in that county on the 19th inst. to vote bonds for the Northwestern railroad, in the several precincts through which said road is to run, was entirely successful, as not a single township failed of the re quired two-thirds majority in their favor. This will give David City the benefit of three roads. President Cleveland has appointed Thomas M. Cooley, of Michigan, for a term of six years; William R. Morrison, of Illinois, five years; Schoonmaker, of New York, Tour years; Aldacs F. Walker, of Vermont, three years; and Walter L. Bragg, of Alabama, two years, to be In- ter-State Commerce Commissioners un der the recent law passed by congress for the regulation of railroads. o The Connecticut Western railroad was blockaded last week on account of the snow. One report said there was a drift of snow from Boston Corners to Mount . Biga over a mile long, and from fifteen to twenty-five feet deep. Another report from St Johnsburg,Vt, says three trains are fast in the drifts on the Passempie railroad, and two trains and a snow plow on the St Johnsburg & Lake Champlain joads are blockaded at different points. The R. K. Commission. The Inter-state commerce law takes effect April 1st. It is too early yet to predict what effect the law and especially the administration of it by the commis sioners appointed by President Cleve land, will have upon the business of the country. Attention is called to the fact that the members are all lawyers, some of them having considerable practical knowledge of railroad affairs. The Lincoln Journ al, in calling attention to the fact that the commissioners are all east of the Mis sissippi, and that eastern papers are claiming the act will be construed bo as to increase the cost of long hauls and depress the agricultural interests of the west, says: "If that is the sort of policy Cleveland has been scheming for in the selection of his com missioners the administration will hear some thing drop before it complete" the latter half of its reign. The west will soon liave the vote that will entitle it to a say in national affairs. There is not a representative on the inter-state com mission west of the Mississippi river. Two thirds of the agricultural section of the country, which lies wet of the great river, liave been awarded no representation. No republican ad ministration would have dared to make that sort of discrimination." This is just the sort of talk needed at this time. The people of the United States have supposed that the new law will be a benefit to business interests generally by taking away something of the bur dens laid upon the public by railroad corporations. If the commission is or ganized with any special or sectional ends in view and this fact develops itself by the actions of the commission, it will only be one more evidence that the balance of power politically is still supposed to lie with New York state,that New York city controls there, that Wall Street dictates the city, and that our president consults the desires of Wall Street, while he is courting southern favor, with an eye to the future. Our fore-fathers, when they concluded to separate the state from tho church did untold good to this country and to mankind, and it seems to the Journal that a reform almost as necessary re quires that political power shall be made to rest exclusively upon free bal lots, fairly counted, and not upon money. Little business of general interest has been transacted by the District Court thus far. On account of the sickness of his wife Judge Post did not reach Central City until four o'clock Monday afternoon. One Charles Jones, who was arrested for breaking into Mr. Woods' house, some four miles west of town, and stealing a few articles of jewelry, pleaded guilty and was given thirty days in the county jail. As we went to press the jury went out on the case of Chas. Cook, charged with steal ing robes from M. W. Clark. There is some talk of another week's session of court, Courier. Nothing new relative to the treacher ous Dr. Randall who was shot and killed tho other day at Hastings, Neb., except that ho is known in several towns of Kansas as a very bad man. He always had associated with him from one to three bad women. Ho was driven out of Kerwin and White Cloud, Kan., by vigil antes. He also operated at Hebron, Neb., two years ago and was found to bo a scoundrel. There is now no doubt that Marion Hart, brother of the little girl Dr. Randall ruined, is the young man who shot and killed him in the conit room at Hastings. The supreme court of Illinois has re versed the finding of the' circuit court and appellate courts in the matter of the will of the late Wilbur F. Storey, of Chi cago. This will, bequeathed his proper ty, including the Chicago Times, is thus declared invalid on the ground that at the time of making it, tho testator was not responsible. Storey left two wills, very similar in their provisions, the first one made sometime before the last one, jnst declared void. It is supposed now that tho first instrument will be offered for probate. Gov. Thayer declined to interfere with the death sentence of Jackson Marion, in Gage county, and ho was ex ecuted last Friday in pursuance of the order. Tho murder of John Cameron w;is committed in 1872. One year after wards, the body was found and Marion suspected. Ten years afterwards he was arrested. Tho case has been in court for tho last five years and three times the prisoner has been sentenced to hang. A report comes from Easton. Pa., on the 23d inst, that the storm was the worst of the season. Telegraph and tel ephone wires were down in every direc tion, communication cut off, and many narrow escapes from collisions reported. Three passenger trains were snow bound in the mountains and the snow was five feet deep. Rescuing crews had been sent out. He Mas Rattled. It is told of a young minister not far from here, who is having some difficulty over a pre-emption claim, that he arose in his pulpit a few Sabbaths since and announced his text as being in St Pauls epistle to the Galatians, section 8, town 25, range 13.

The Missouri river at Omaha rose nearly six feet Friday and Saturday, and at noon on the latter day reached what is called the "danger line," sixteen feet above low water mark. Hon.

St. Petersburg sends out the report that eighty-seven torpedo vessels be longing to the Baltic fleet of the Russian navy havo been ordered in a state of con stant readiness for service.

On Friday the President celebrated his fiftieth birthday in a verj. quiet man ner. Ho received birthday cards and floral tributes and congratulations in great quantities, but he attended to his official duties in the morning and re ceived the usual concourse of peoplo at one o'clock. In the evening he went to the theater unaccompanied by Mrs. Cleveland, who is in mourning for her grandmother. The habit of duplicating pay accounts by army officers has received a fresh im imlse and is becoming epidemic. The latest accession to the ranks of military crooks is Lieut. Wilcox, 7th cavalry, who was arrested in St Louis, and sent to Fort Snelling to be court-martialed. This makes five army officers who have gone wrong within tho past year. All these cases occurred west of the Miss issippi. The practical desertion of five officers makes even a worse showing than the annual desertion of eight per cent of the enlisted men of the army, for the latter are compelled to serve the first six months without pay. The bringing of a country lawyer from Wisconsin to be chief clerk of the Post offico department illustrates the civil service reform farce as it is now played. If the competitive examination system is worth anything, its fruits must be the development from within the depart ments of the best men for chief clerk ships and other places where the most perfect knowledge of tho business of the bureaux is required. An officer brought in from outside the department is nec essarily for a long time a mere figure head, who is compelled to depend upon nho skill, experience and fidelity of his subordinates. In a notable educational convention held here during the past week, which was attended by the superintendents and many teachers from all parts of the country, one of the prominent educators said, in the study of the question of the civil service reform he had been struck with its application to the public school system. The spoils system, of which so much was said in politics, had made its appearance in the schools. Places on the board of education were sought for the money in them. If it were the purchase of a site, the selection of a plan, or the giving of a contract, it was not the most suitable site, or the best plan, or the most advantag eous contract that controlled the se lection, but the per cent, the members of the board were to get from the transac tion. Washington is to have a new institu tion, namely, a bureau of information, which will make it a business, for a moderate fee, to answer all questions that may be sent to it, literary, scien tific, departmental, political, etc On this its people are to be congratulated, as well as members of Congress. The lat ter justly complain that their time is continually taken up in looking after trifling matters for their constituents, onI iirlAnn iimm jo mmA j Al !.! 3 A. Ituiu uiunw ore cuuHUUiuj uppueu to by acquaintances in different parts of the country for information obtainable here. Such a bureau here could perform a great and useful service to the people throughout tho country, for tho Ntition al Capitol possesses unequaled sources of knowledge. This reminds me of tho sorrows of a United States consul at one of the South American ports, who has been pouring out his heart by letter to a friend in this city. In the first place he said ho was not allowed to keep a clerk, yet al most every mail brought letters (with out stamps for return postage) asking for information. There were letters wanting to know about that country and letters from naval officers requesting different commissions. A merchant writes to get the commercial standing of various parties, aud others write for a complete list ot the business houses in Brazil. One man writes to inquire as lo the will of some one who might have died in the Argentine Republic or Ura guay about tho year 1870, although it might have been earlier or later than that The poor man thinks tho consul's liTe is anything but a happy one, and says he will be obliged to resign soon unless the government does something for his relief. He says he tries to answer each communication to the best of his ability. If his answers please, ho gets no thanks. If they do not, he gets abuse and threats for not attending to the writers business. (korresuonbenee. In this department the people talk, and not the editor, hnch writer must hold himself ready to defend his principles and his (statements of facts. "In tho multitude of counsel there is wisdom." Ed. Journal. J A Letter from Ityron Millett. Denver, Colo., March 23, 1SS7. Dear Journal: Thinking that I had let your readers rest a sufficient length of time, I taiko the opportunity of send ing you a few notes. Yon will bear in mind that last fall, I called attention to the fact that Dan. P. Hadfield began a suit for divorce against his wife Lizzie Hadfield, nee Baker, on the ground of adultery with one Ed. Barker. The decree has been granted, and Mr. Hadfidld is receiving numerous congratulations from his friends. He is master-mechanic at the U. P. shops, lo cated here, and a man respected by all good citizens. The old folks, .Joseph and Eunice Baker, are supposed to be in California, Lizzio is said to be now at Leadville, and Platte at Silver Cliff, Col orado. Your correspondent sees Mr. W. A. Marlow frequently. He thinks Denver the worst place for law practice, that he ever saw, so much so that ho would not pretend to try to make a living at it. It is said, that ho is speculating largely in mines and real estate. Mr. Lawrence deputy Countv Sur veyor under .lohn J. Maughau, gave me a friendly call, lie had been in Wyo ming and was on his way to Kansas City. He said that ho expects to work back to Columbus in a few weeks. I am pleased to learn that your liter ary society considers such practical sub jects. Why are not the decisions of the judges made public through tho press? The "Good Book" says, hide not your light under a bushel. The salvation army is among us. The cadets are provided with tamlxjurincs. David of old, harping it beneath a wil low tree, could not have made more en tertaining music. The night the writer attended, a girl, who looked as if she might once have been ..! "pure : the driven snow,' in years li ug ago, got upon the platform and said that she had been in the gutter, but now that she felt she was not only saved, but sancti fied, which meant that she could sin no more. Verily the world moves. Byron Millett. Why Not? Mr. Editor: While prairio chickens, j:uk rabbits and such game grow scarcer as the country settles up, I do not know why you should object to a little talk about the merits of the prairie dog or the prairie squirrel, as a dainty ar tielo of wild flesh for food. Rats. This squirrel is equally as clean as tho gray squirrel. The latter lives in tho hollow of trees, lives on grains and nuts, and is especially fond of corn when in its soft condition. I know this squirrel's flesh when properly prepared is delicious as an article of food. The prairio squirrel lives on tho same articles when they are to bo had, and when not to be ob tained, they live strictly on vegetables, roots and grass. Instead of living in the hollow of trees, they carefully prepare their homes and live in tho ground. If what they eat in any way affects the flesh for food, it certainly cannot be un favorable, as it is strictly vegetable, and must occupy a much higher position, in every respect for cleanliness, than the hog. I don't know that any one in Nebras ka has actually tasted the flesh of this prairie squirrel as a matter of food, but if they have they should give a reliable report to the public. The prairie squirrels gather into and build up-towns; their increase in numbers is very rapid, and they will soon material ly damage a farm, but if their flesh is good and even delicious, why not make them a matter of wild game and slay and eat them?
