C, on the night of the 12th insL The vibration was not greater than a loaded wagon would pro duce passing along the street. Two thousand engineers and artisans of bottom Lancastershire have com bined to strike at Loudon for an increase of wages of two shillings. Ten thous and workingmen are involved. Five earthquake shocks occurred on the 13th inst, at Nogales, A. T., in the past twenty-four hours. The heaviest was at 5:30 in the morning, which caused all clocks in town to stop. As order has been issued from the War Department, by direction of the President, dropping Second Lieutenant John Shaw, Cth infantry, from the rolls of the army for desertion, from May 9th. A later report from Wheeling, W.Va., states that the husband of the murdered wife and the father of the daughter found killed at Holiday's Cove has been arrested being suspected of the double murder. While a crowd of people were at tending baptismal ceremonies at New Orleans, the railing at the wharf gave way and a lot of people were plunged into the Mississippi river, eleven persons were drowned. While Fannie Murray, a young girl aged fifteen, living near Stonewall, CoL, was attempting to mount a broncho, the saddle turned and her foot caught in the stirrup and she was dragged to death by the frightened beast. Wm. Patrick, United States district attorney during President Grant's ad ministration and a prominent citizen of St, Louis, died the other day of soften ing of the brain, a complaint he had been afflicted with for several years.

They are now paid once a month. A few miles from McKeesport, Pa., Mrs. Cook and her two children were burned to death on the 13th inst, and the house totally destroyed. The woman was using petroleum to kindle the fire, when the accident occurred. The unwelcome question of the Egaa letter was discussed last week in the British House of Commons. In answer ing Healy's inquiry, the government de nies receiving any letter of the kind. This denial will probably settle the matter. Queen Kapiolasi visited the treasury department while at Washington and was escorted through the building by Sec retary Fairchild. She was much pleased with the life saving service and said she desired to introduce the Bame system into her own kingdom. "FOPS of the McCoys have been in .dioted at Portsmouth, Ohio, for murder in the fin degree for the killing of Dr. Northrop, at HyerbilL The shooting m we have before poticed grew out of a whiaky effing case in which Dr. North znp appeared aa the prosecuting wini. LIQUOR IN IOWA. A New Phase of the Question. At the Iowa state convention of the druggists last week, a subject came up which promises to lead to important re sults. Iowa is a prohibition state, her citizens having concluded to try that plan of fighting the evils of the traffic. They seem determined to give it a very effectual trial, notwithstanding the many obstacles that have been cast in their way. According to the laws there now, there is no place where liquor can be legally and openly sold except in tho drug stores. It thus happens that while a very large body of honorable druggists are doing a legitimate business, there are a great many who are not and who have brought reproach upon the entire fraternity by violating the law. To such an extent has this gone that all manner of thrusts are made at druggists, by former saloon keepers, by theater peo ple, by the newspapers and by people in general, that the drug store has sup- Dlanted the saloon, but that the business of drinking liquor for the snpposed pleasure of it still goes on, all the same. The prohibitionist is represented as nosing around the back door in search of violations, while the old-time drinker, sick with a sickness that only a caBe of beer will elominate, gets angry it the druggist will not fill his "prescription." Imagination can picture the position of the honest druggist who tries to do Ins duty under the law. Well, in the convention, a large part of the druggists, led' by Norman Lichty, of Des Moines, endeavored to havo the association declare in favor of asking tho next legislature to take the sale of liquors entirely out of the hands of the druggists of tho state. They were not numerous enough for this, but thoy pur pose keeping up the agitation until they succeed. Another young man ha6 met an un timely death. At Omaha, last Sunday night, at Mueller's Hall on the Bellevue road, while a dance was going on, three "roughs" were admitted to the hall, and two of them being partially drunk, soon got into trouble by jostling others on the floor while dancing. This brought them into controversy with Denis Quin lan, who remonstrated with them and showed a disposition to stand for his rights. A few minutes after this, the roughs in the meantime having left the hall, a number of the men at the dance, left to get a drink at Jones's saloon, a short distance away. While going, young Quinlan near the lead, was shot, presumably by the "rough" who had threatened to fix him. The names of the three men were not known, but the police were sure that they could be apprehended. Quinlan, it is said, was not under the influence of drink when he was shot The wound was in the corner of the left eye, the bullet pene trating to and lodging in the brain. The sad affair carries its own comment. Later. Tuesday's Bee gives the con fession of one Chas. Volmar that he fired a shot, but in self-defense, he claims, the other parties having attacked him. The verdict of the coroner's jury recom mended the holding for examination of Volmar and one August Shell. William O'Brien, editor of the United Ireland, arrived safe at Montreal on the llinsL, and was enthusiastically received by a vaBt crowd of people. He explained his coming to Montreal briefly to the im mense throng of people by saying that he came not to offer offence to the peo ple or meddle with Canadian affairs, nor to deal with the career of Lord Lans downe, as Governor General, but as the exterminator of five hundred human be ings and that the Canadian people when convinced will stretchout their hand and save the lives and property of those five hundred poor tenants of Luggacurren, for both, said he, at this time are in your hands and at your mercy. Is the trial of John Haggarty, an alleged Pan Handle robber, John W. Latham of Bnrgesston, O., also a Pan Handle brakeman and under bail, creat ed a sensation by turning state's evi dence on the witness stand. He testified how, in company with Haggarty and Fuller, they had made different raids on merchandise in Pan Handle cars, de scribing in full the manner of procedure in securing plunder. The case went to the jury without argument and a ver dict of guilty returned in a few minutes. Wright, another prisoner, pleaded guilty of stealing trunks containing goods val ued at $500. It is understood now that a number of other prisoners will plead guilty. Col. Jones Hamilton, lessee of the penitentiary at Jackson, Miss., shot and instantly killed K. D. Grambrel, editor of the Stcord and Shield the other night. Col. Hamilton is mortally wounded, be ing shot through the body. The cause of the unfortunate affair was a newspa per article a few days before severely criticising Col. Hamilton's private and public character. The floods in the St. Johns river con tinued last week to sweep on with re sistless force. At Jt. Johns, N. B., the river rose eight inches in one night and was then on a level with the floors of a number of the buildings. The river is spreading over a large territory. Hun dreds of houses in villages and cities are submerged and deserted. The only hope of this country' in the conquest of the corporations, so to speak, which meanB their subjugation to justice and legal right, is in the votes of the people. And these votes must be given for honest, capable men who will not sell out their constituents. It is not a question of one campaign only, but of many. The National Convention of Wool Growers in session at St. Lonis last week, recommended unanimity of action by all wool growers, manufacturers and others interested in the production and sale of wool, to procure the repeal of the present tariff laws upon wool, and the passage of a law protecting the American wool interests. H. O. Rose, postmaster at Center brook, Conn., before the U. S. commis sioner at New Haven, was held in $1,000 for using the mails to defraud. The Bos ton watch company, of Centerbrook, ad vertised to sell a -watch for one dollar which proved to be a brass affair worth about 17 cents. The Union steel company at Chicago the other day shut down its steel rail milL Seven hundred and fifty men were locked out on the strength of a strike of twenty-eight drillers, clippers and filers. The twenty-eight men struck for some trivial cause, and the general shut down followed. Wm. O'Bbten, editor of United Ire land, arrived in New York last week. Being solicited by his friends to speak in New York, he said, my mission is to Canada, and I must guard all my strength. I shall go direct to Montreal and make my first speech there. In the case of W. T. Lavelle, on trial at Pittsburg, Pa., for robbing freight cars, the verdict was "guilty." J. C. Dunlap, another of the alleged thieves, was then called up for trial and pled guilty. John Haggarty is now being tried. None of the prisoners have been sentenced. A Berlin correspondent of the Mos cow Gazette says the German military authorities are training mastiffs to hunt French outposts in the event of war. Also falcons and other birds of prey are being trained to chase carrier pigeons, should the latter be employed by the French. Mr. Van Burex, of Holiday's Cove, West Virginia, left home the other afternoon and stayed away overnight; returning in the morning, he found his wife and mother in the sitting room with their heads mashed. Bobbery was supposed to be the motive for murder. The twelve Irish constables who re signed their offices because they were compelled to carry on evictions, and who arrived in New York last week, have an nounced their intention of becoming citizens of the United States by filing their applications. NEBRASKA NOTES. The needed rain last week came to central and southern Nebraska. A board of trade has been organized at Tobias with a membership of thirty two.

The crop report in the Farmers Re vieiv shows that Nebraska winter and spring wheat is in fairly good condition, but more rain is required. Frank Elliott and Nick Edwards were arrested at Omaha for stealing a suit of clothes from the boarding house of James Folding, Weeping Water. A real estate agent offers to the resi dents of Waterloo to move their houses to Valley and give each family a lot, if the terms are accepted in ten days. A. J. Potter, proprietor of the Potter House at O'Neill, while out hunting on the 13th inst., was struck by lightning and instantly killed during the storm. Warrants are out for five men on a charge of running a gambling room at Valparaiso. The trial is expected to im plicate several prominent business men. Hon. T. V. Powderly spoke in the opera house at Minden the other even ing. The hall was crowded. Mr. Pow derly stopped off on his way from Den ver. Miss Rena Shafer, a love-forsaken maiden at York, attempted the other night to shoot a hole through her heart. The chances of life or death in her case are about equal. The electric light has been put in op eration again at Beatrice with great suc cess. It gave a bright, steady light. The former plant was burned about three months ago. It is stated that the Union Pacific has notified the railroad commission that the recommendations regarding changes and improvements at North Platte will be accepted by the company. Ben Riddle, who was accused of burn ing his store three months ago, was ar rested the other night at Wahoo, charged with arson. His arrest was a surprise to some of the citizens. Word did not reach here from St Paul last week in time for the Journal to state that Charles Schroeder had been awarded the contract for the water works at that place, for the sum of $19,750. The steam flour mill at Stella was burned on the night of the 13th inst, about 9:30 o'clock and is a total loss. The origin of the fire is unknown. It was a frame building, 30x40, four stories high. Albion reports the branch of the Northwestern completed to that place. Hands will be put to work on the depot, yards and tank right away, and laying the track to Oakdale will be pushed for ward. J. H. N. Patrick sold his farm of 615 acres adjoining Omaha on the north, for $615,000, to J. A. Allen and F. H. Un derwood, of Kansas City. It will be im proved by them and 6old for residence property. The storm was severe at Papillion on the evening of the 13th, but the damage resulting was not very serious. One small residence was blown oyer. The inmates had taken refuge in the cellar, and escaped injury. A bad lot of peddlers, note makers and forgers, are swindling farmers in Gage county. Some good man who knows how to handle such cattle ought to have them arrested and put through "a course of sprouts." The Republican Valley Editorial Association held a meeting at Oxford the other day. It is said that a number were prevented from attending for the want of their old passes, but those who did attend found the citizens kind and hospitable and all present had an en joyable time. It is understood at Omaha among railroad men that the officials of the Union Pacific have given assurance to shippers that there will be no advance under the new arrangements in car load rates on live stock. It is reported from Palmyra that the other evening in a personal difficulty James Blanchart was cut and severely wounded in the leg and hand with a knife by Miles McAleer.

They will prepare their grounds, and expect to hold a meeting at that place next month. The brick makers and helpers in several of the yards at Omaha who struck for higher wages the other after noon, attacked the moulders in Bailey's yards with brick bats, stones, etc., and quite a riot ensued which was finally quelled by the police. Mrs. Josiah S. McCormick at Omaha attempted to Btop a burglar escaping from her house, but was rudely knocked down with a pistol, the burglar making his escape. She discovered him before he got through with his plunder, as only her hand satchel and $20 had been taken. In a quarrel the other day between two Brown county farmers near Ansley, George Kalen, jr., was shot by Robert Selfert with a double-barrel shotgun loaded with goose shot, the charge taking effect in the right shoulder and side, one shot entering the right eye. Some claim the shooting was done through mnlico while others say, in self defense. During the rain and wind storm at Blue Springs Friday afternoon, the two story brick school-house was blown down and severely injured the janitor, W. H. Rambaugh. The school of 300 pupils had been dismissed but thirty minutes before. The tower of the brick was blown off, stables wrecked, chimneys and trees blown down and roofs dis placed. One house was struck by light ning, and Miss Basore killed. D. R. P. Butt, residing near Benkcl mau, was struck by a freight train while attempting to cross the track, knocking him several feet, breaking a number of bones and cutting a fearful gash in his head about four inches long and a half inch deep.

Smith, feed stables, and Bartley Mc Cue one pair of horses and harness. It is claimed that the fire was started by a small boy, who lighted a uiatoh in the hay in the stabla Another theory is that it started from the sparks of a pipe of a man who was pitching hay. At the last municipal elections Dun bar, this state, was carried by the tem perance people. The other evening, the saloons having been closed a few days before, a saloon posse promenaded tho town, making an attack upon the houses of prominent temperance people with clubs and revolvers. As the Stute Dem ocrat notes, there is a strange monotony about this business the average reader fails to call to mind instances in which saloon politicians have had their prop erty destroyed, or have been killed, by prohibitionists. Central City Courier. Washington Letter. From our regular correspondent. The busiest place in Washington now is the headquarters of the National Drill and the busiest man is the managing secretary, Mr. DeLeon. He sits at his desk all day, and on the glass partition which shields him from intrusion a sign is posted up that Mr. DeLeon is en gaged. He is always busily engaged, and the sign is never taken down. His office has quite a military air. Pictures of camp scenes, samples of camp cots, lithographs representing a tented field, with marching troops and the Washington monument looming up above all, with other shadows of the coming event lying around. 'Clerks are busy at work at tables and in one corner the committee of public comfort has its headquarters. Here a register is kept of rooms and beds available, and other information that might be of use to persons visiting the city during drill week. The committee takes no note of the large hotels, it seeks to provide for those who cannot get into the hotels, or who desire to live at less daily expense than is usual at hotels. At the last in auguration this committee did excellent work in hunting places where accommo dations could be afforded strangers, and then inviting correspondence with those who wanted rooms and board, and it has undertaken the same work for the National drill. On the white lot preparations are going on for the drill and the large camp-ground is beiag enclosed. At the foot of the Washington monument the troops of the North and South will meet in fraternal spirit to vie for the honors and prizes provided by the liberalty of the projectors of the undertaking. When the project of holding a National drill here in May was first broached last fall, it was taken up at once by a num ber of energetic citizens who by their personal influence and labors, and their liberal subscriptions in money, at once assured the success of the whole affair. Committees were immediately organized, and steps taken to assemble the flower of the American National Guard in "Camp George Washington." The purposes of the drill were set forth in a memorial to Congress. It said, "within the past ten years inter state competitive drills of the volunteer soldiers of the United States have been held at different points in this country, always with advantage to the drill, dis cipline and morals of the militia, and with increasing interest and attention of the citizenship of the several states. The idea has frequently been canvassed, and the feeling over the Union has grown, that a national competitive drill and encampment at the National Cap itol would not only collect a larger body of representative soldiers, but would be of more military importance and ad vantage from the national character tho event would necessarily attain amid na tional surroundings," etc., etc. As to the rules of the camp, all com mands, unless their entry is accepted with a special exception to tho contrary, will bo required to enter camp and re main during the entire period of the drill. The Washington troops will form no exception to this order. All commands will be subject to camp guard duty, daily dress parade, and to all other rules promulgated by the com mandant of the camp, Gen. Auger. Tents, or barracks, and straw for bed sacks will be furnished, but subsistence will not. Thero will bo a camp res taurant, at which meuls may be procured at a rate fixed by the managing com mittee, and tho keeper will be held to strict accountability as to prices and character of " food, while companies doing their own cooking will be fur nished with fuel and with mess quarters. Tho hospital and ambulance depart ments of the drill will be in charge of tho Red Cross society. Tho prizes are probably the largest ever offered. For the best company of infantry, for instance, tho first prize is $5000; second prize $2,500; third prize $1,500; fourth prizo $1000; fifth prize $500; total, $10,500. For the best com pany of cavalry tho first prizo is $2,000; the second $1,500. Then there are prizes for the best regiment of infantry; for the lest battallion of infantry; the best platoon of light artillery; machine guns; the best zouave drill; cadet corps; then there are tho prizes for rifle practice and other individual prizes, such as for the best drilled soldier in the manual of arms, competition restricted to not more than two members of any ono company. Among the attractions which will be shown nightly on the drill grounds is a pyrorama representing the naval battle in Hampton roads, which ended with the memorable contest between the Monitor and Merrimac. Unliko a pan orama, tho war vessels in this case are seen moving about, guns are fired and the shock and fire of battle are vividly depicted. The vessels are made com plete, are from forty to fifty feet in length and in the perspective, look like ships of full size. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Pakntine. Mrs. Sam. Mahood has a little son. Mr. Jones has his wind mill up and it shows to good advantage. We are having a much needed rain for which we are sincerely thankful. Apple trees, in large numbers around here have blossomed this spring, and there are prospects of quite a good deal of fruit. We are informed that the Swedish Lutheran society are making extensive aud modern additions to their meeting house, a few miles north of here. Mr. N. O. Berlin has gone to visit his son Nels ut Nonpareil, Box Butte county, in this state, and if his health will ad mit will be gone five or six months. Mr. Henry Guiles's windmill was blown down in ono of tho severe wind storms of the last few weeks. Mr. John Anderson's was also nearly blown over. Mrs. J. D. Bolton is very badly afflicted with salt rheum on loth hands and arms, is unable to do any kind of work but is slowly improving at present. H. N. Christenson, Esq., is quite sick with malaria, confined to his bed at this date. His son Hans also has been ob liged to have a physician. It is thought his sickness is caused by drinking too much cold water while heated by work. Mr. C. has fenced in 50 acres for pasture recently. Dans. Bismarck Township. John McGill is fencing in his clover patch. G. Hodel had to get his corn planter repaired last week. Quite a number of farmers are done planting corn already. Gerhard Harms is driving one of Henry Luers' cream wagons. C. E. Hartly is breaking for O. D. Butler, and the latter is sowing flax on it. Several of the neighbors have built new dwelling-houses, which are a credit to the community. The small grain is looking finely since the late rains, and the corn which is planted has a good prospect ahead. Miss Jennie Taylor, (niece of O. D. Butler) who has been visiting at his house for sometime past, has returned to her home in Colorado. J. H. Reed of Columbus Township passed through BiBmark with his large herd on the 12th; he was taking them up north to pasture this summer. T. M. Wilson killed a large hoop snako while going to town the other day. It was of enormous length and size, and we think the inhabitants of this country are to be congratulated on the fact of such snakes being extremely scarce. Charles. Weather Report.

After Twenty-Five Years.. Corinth, Mis3., Jan., lii, 1887. Ever since I came out of the w,u-, up to two years ago, I had catarrh. At times the disease was very offensive. I tried all tho doctors I could see, and nearly every catarrh medicine I saw ad vertised; but I got no permanent relief until two years ago when I began taking S. S. S. I felt immediate benefit from the medicine, and after taking six bot tles I felt like a new man. When I be gan using the medicine I was in a very bad condition; my digestion was poor, I had rheumatic pains in myknees,and my feet were always cold. These unpleas ant conditions were remedied at once by Swift's Specific. I ceased using the medicine after the six bottles, because I felt so well that I thought I was entirely cured. This past fall, however, I had a relapse evidently I had stopped taking S. S. S. too soon. So I at onco began with the medicine, and am happy to tell you that I am very much improved, my general health le ing excellent, and the catarrh rapidly disappearing. I havo great faith in S. S. S. for ca tarrh and blood impurities, and I recom mended it to all my neighbors who are sick. Yours tndy, C. C. Key. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
