The bank had alreadv closed its doors. The St. Louis delegalion headed by the mayor of tho city called upon Presi dent Cleveland ono day last week and presented their invitation in person. The president accepted in these words, 'I don't feel now that 1 can do other wise than ticcept your invitation." Laura Horn, a young girl at Logans port, Ind., has been missing from her home for some time, and O.

Some fabulous stories are told about the egg market in New York and tho effect of the heat on eggs shipped. One tale is that thousands of barrels have been spoiled by hatching on the road. The head of a large egg house told a re porter one day last week that out of 1,100 cases received in the last twenty four hours not 500 were good, while some lots of J00 c3?es or more, sent by .express, were a total Jos?, I Healthy Hops. The problem of successful fanning in Nebraska is readily solved with good con; crops and a healthy line of hogn. So far as the corn is concerned, Ne braska farmers have been reasonably successful; with more attention to the selection of best varieties for seed and a good deal better dressing of manure given to the land to be planted to corn, we think the corn pari of the problem will be well under way toward a satis factory solution. But the hogs need more attention than has ever yet been given them, and they need it all along the line. Nebraska can take a loL of herJthy Loir55 and fat ten them Tor the market, as well as is done anywhere, and she- nrobably man ages the hog industry as well as is done elsewheie, lint she can do far belter, and doubtless will do so. An.ong the points of improvement, in the opinion of the Journal, are less breeding in and in. larger and better pastures, with good, fresh, clean well water readily accessible, cleanly sleeping quarters, and greater variety of feed. Generation after gen eration of hogs raised on corn and water, with an occasional bucket or slop, will not do. Every few years some ail ment strikes the hogs and sweeps them oir, and, takes all, or a considerable por tion of the profits of the farm for the year. If this can be wholly or measurably prevented, it is wise to do so. In conversation with B. Ellis of this vicinity, we learned from him that he had used for ye:irs a certain recipe as a preventive of hog disease, and had never lost any from so-called hog cholera. He obtained tho recipe from the Swine Journal of A. C. Moore. Canton. Fulton county, 111. Mr. M. is the noted dealer in hogs, has used tho recipe for more than thirty years, and has never lost by hog-cholera. A gentleman of this city, who has dealt largely in hogs, got this recipe several years ago, when his herd began to die off. from cholera, began its use at once, and had no more deaths then or since from the disease, and ho keeps tho mixture on hands all the time. Wo give, below, tho recipe as fur nished us bj Mr. Ellis, and hope that those of our readers engaged in the business of raising hogs, may save money by its use: "1 bushel charcoal, small pices; 3 bushels wood ashes; l.. bushel slacked lime; i bushel salt; 2 lbs. Spanish brown; o lbs. sulphur: lb. saltpetre; Ji ib. copperas. Pulverize the last two thoroughly, mis all in a bin, box or barrel and keep in an open trough, where tho hogs can have free access to it. and keep well moistened with good swill or milk. If your herd is not largo or you lack a sufficient amount of some of the in gredients, mix smaller amounts of each in tho same propoitioii: aim to keep these ai tides on hand ail the time, and do not neglect thoir use. Thev rontain , . . . ' . I certain ciienneai elements, wincli are wanting in every hog predisposed to disease You will soon obsct ve. by care ful watching that tho animal uhich looks the worst, and with which, ai you say, there seems to be sonietlung the matter, is the one that will call on yon to fill the trough the oftencsl. and that v. ill usually viait it either as it goes or re turns from feed."' Two IVntr. a Mile. Tho important thing, of course, in the railroad discussion, is the reduction of freight rates lo a proper basis, on which all interests can flourish. Tho total sum expended for freight is fur beyond that paid for passenger fate, but there are not so main intricacies appear upon the surface when considering tho ad justment of the passenger rates, anil everyone, almost, is inclined lo think himself capable of forming a just judg ment. The tendency right along has been toward reduction. From ten lo live, to four, to three, we have seen, and now there is tali; that iwo is enough, and so. we reckon, it is. Of course there is a minimum limit beyond which there will lie loss in carrying passengers, but nobody, inside or outside railroad cir cles, believes that two cents a mile is that limit. Of all tho arguments adduced to con vince the railroads that it would be to their interest to reduce the rate to two cents none strikes us so forcibly as that the increased travel will bring more than enough extra profit to makeup the deduction of one cent a mile from the now usual three-cent rate. The railroads aro undoubtedly con vinced that the people are now in earnest in their endeavors to grasp for justice, and their method1? tire simply those of a man who pushes the day of judgment as far away as possible; !he dilatory plea is all that they are making jusr now, and it i aliout all that is left for them. They no longer hood-wink the general pnblie, except in so far as they succeed in employing tho people's offi cial servants to betray the trusts of their constituents, and do the will of tho rail roads; but even this species of railroad engineering is becoming so well known that hereafter il certainly cannot be so successful as heretofore. Even the pol itician must now look to the people for preferc enL The boodlers aro taking a back seat and some of them aro being pushed pretty far back, even into the penitentiary. The man who reaps illicit private gains from public enter prises is being looked upon ns a dan gerous member of society, not to bo en couraged. What has been done in the closet is being heralded from tho house top, and as business methods take the place of corruption: as fair dealing with all, supplants discrimination in favor of a few, tho railroads can well afford to come down to two cents a mile. The Hiawatha (Kansas) Democrat is a democratic paper, and publishes the fol lowing paragraph; if it be true, it is an argument with millions in it for a more stringent regulation of the liquor traffic: "One reason 'that Kansas towns aro en joying such a boom and spending so much money in improvements, is, that before prohibition sho sent out more than 827,000,000 for liquors; last year she sent out but 7,000.000. The differ ence is used tit home, and the results are seen every day." Geoiioe Griffith, living near Am sterdam, N. Y.. owns a vicious dog that chased a hen under a pjuzza; Griffith crawled under in pursuit when the dog turned upon lum grabbing him by the neck, and before he could be relieved, the brute bad severed two arteries in his neck.

In 1838 Joseph Smith had a ''revelation," naming Taylor and others for members of the quorum of twelve apostles to fill vacancies. It is said of Taylor that ho was ono of tho earliest and firmest adherents of polygamy. D. IL Anthony, editor or tho Times at Leavenworth, Kas., published a scur rilous article denouncing Bond, and calling him among other names n skunk. Bond met Anthony the other day while driving along the street. :.nd demanded a retraction which was refused, and a wordy war ensued; while this was going on Bond grabbed Anthony's buggy whip and administered several smart cuts aeross Anthony's head and shonl deis. Bond was arrested. The State Republican convention of Ohio declares in favor of a protective tariff to secure lo American citizens tho privilege of supplying every article which can bo produced as well in tho United States as other countries, and sufficiently to supply American wants. Such a tariff makes a demand for and gives employment lo tho labor of Amer ican cil izens. and thereby aids in secur ing just compensation for labor. The Rev. T. A. West is charged with murdering Miss Susie Beck, with whom he eloped not long ugo,by the use of arse nic which has been found in her liver. Tho police of Chestertown, Ind., have sent out a circular for his arrest, con taining a picturs of the accused and a description of his person, which will bo sent to every police station in tho Unit ed States and Canada. Tin: sad death of two littlo sons of Joseph Cox, aged ten and twelve years, occurred near Sherwood post office in Smith county, Kas., ono day Inst week. Their father had sent the boys io the pasture for the cows. When found, ono of the cows, with a boy on each side of her, wet o lying on the ground all dead.

A freight train the other morning while passing over Mount Savage bridge near Cumberland, Md., on the Pittsburg division of the Baltimore. r Ohio rail road, fell through, ami several cars were thrown into the river. The engineer and fireman were instantly killed, and one brakeman seriously injured. An accident occurred the other day to the Philadelphia and Chicago express on the Baltimore v Ohio railroad, caused 13 :. misplaced switch. Tho express ran into a freight train standing on tho sidetrack at York, killing the engineer and fireman of the express and seriously injuring the engineer of the freight. Two pleasure yachts both filled with people, were capsized in a squall otT Yarmouth on tho 2Sth ult., and ten per sons drowned. NEISKASKA NOTES. Work on tho street railway at Fre mont, it is reported, will commence right away. An unknown man was run over by a coal train tho other morning in tho B. & M. yards at Omaha and killed.

Muma, who were arrested at Holdrege, charged with passing counterfeit money, were taken to Omaha, and will be tried before Judge Dundy. Tho Railroad Commissioners at Lin coln were reported a part of the time last week busy sending out requests to the express companies doing business in tho state, to file their tariff sheets. Another bridge across the Missouri river at Omaha is in contemplation. It is believed that it will le located at the foot of Douglas street. The plans call for a combination railroad and wagon bridge.

St. Joe must bo greatly disappointed at her failure to obtain a packing house through the efforts of Mr. Armour, as ho has determined to make his establish ment so extensive al Omaha, that he cannot conduct a similar business al St. Joe. The Blair Pilot said a short time ago that their canning factory was running on full time putting up peas and beans. One day they put up between live and six thousand cans, and they have on an avarage about 225 women and girls at work in the factory every day. The proper authorities at Lincoln and Lancaster county are about to erect a court house, for that city and county. Judging from the estimated cost it will be a magnificent building. Tt:; plans call for a 170,000 building, with a guar antee that the cost shall not exceed Sl'JOjXtO. Bids will be advertised for at once. The citizens or Lincoln were excited the other evening by the exhibition on the street of Henry Bruegmann, editor of the Staalx Anzfiyer, horse-whipping through tho street J. D.Kluetzch, editor of the. Frcie Presne. The Flic Prcsse, had published that the Slants Anzchjer would be sold at sheriff's sale in tho near future. Bruegmann was arrested and awaits a hearing. The preliminary trial of O. H. Roth acker, the editor of the Omaha Repub lican, on tho charge of criminal lilul preferred by G. M.

Governor Thayer was tendered a grand reeoption in Holt county on the 28th nit., Stowarl, Atkins and O'Neill meeting him at the train with bands and flags. A largo crowd assembled at O'Neill. The Governor made a very ap propriate speech, thanking tho people and wishing them prosperity. Com mander Russell, of the G. A. R., was with the Governor and was presontcd to the people. The gospel army street meeting was broken up the other night in Lincoln by tho police, who ai rested the noisy army and put them into the cooler, on an order issued by the mayor of the city, to stop tho noise created by tlieir drums and tambourines. The arrest and im prisonment created considerable excite ment among the citizens, some being for, and some against tho action of J he city authorities. Thomas Martin, who a few weeks ago was arrested at Coartland. for conspira cy to rob the state Iink, is again in the hands of justice. He uenl home the other night and drove his faiuih out of the house with an ax, and followed them to the next house, where they were pro tected from him. He returned home and destroyed all tho furniture in the house. lie was soon after arrested by tho marshal, and is now in jail lo be dealt with according to lav.. Walker k Lockwood, while putting down a drive well on the farm of M. F. Norton, on Cache creek, last Friday struck a vein which furnishes an artes ian well tho pressure of which is strong enough to force tho water out at a rate or a barrel a minute. Mr.Norton says much is due John Otter, whom he had employ ed to "water-witch'' for a suitable place to sink for water. Tho finding of this well is worth hundreds of dollars lo Mr. Norton on his cattle ranch. Kwimj Item. A number of persons residing in Ne braska were granted pensions the other day by the government at Washington. Their names and residence are given be low: Alice J. Kelso.

Mr. Hoage, ono of tho proprietors of the canning factory, is in the city look ing over tho plant here. Wo says we have by odds tho best canning factory in Nebraska, anil much more convenient and well arranged building than tho one at Council Bluffs. Ho says they will operate at least ono hundred to one hun dred and fifty hands here during tho canning season: and fully as many moro next year, when provisions are mado for canning tomatoes, pears, etc. There are about 800 acres of corn under cultiva tion, to be canned at tho factory here this year, and while much of it has not been cultivated according to instructions they are very well satisfied with the out look. Grand Inland Independent. A strange coincidence occurred tho other day at Hastings. An old man by the name of McCaulay expected a sou to arrive from Ireland, and went to the B. fe M. depot to meet his son, but instead of finding him sdive, he found him in a coffin, having been killed in the wreck at St. Thomsis, Ont. The corpse was buried. The old man was sad and grief stricken, and went to his Wl sick. The other morning a young man who claims to be the same son arrived in Hastings. The old man McCaulay was dumbfounded, and not having seen him since he was two years old is not able to recognize him. Ho don't know which one is his sou. The living ono has let ters and papers to prove he is tho gen- uuie son expecteu. A very nico question is about to be brought up from the complaints of citi zens of western Nebraska and eastern Colorado, who have erected nnmerous irrigation dams over the South Platte, which drain the river lied entirely dry across the line into Nebraska, diverting the natural flow of the water in the bed of the river into Nebraska, and thus pre venting her citizens from the use and benefits of the water as they found it when they located their homes. The auestion has properly been presented to tie governor of this state and he has laid the complaint before the governor of Colorado. Yhat further action has been taken in the mailer wo have not heard. If tho question should prove too intricate for state sovereignty to dispose oi,the parlies whose iuterostsare most deeply affected by these irrigating ! ls, will have Jo present their caso to the highest sovereignty in the Union Nebraska citizens hive equities involved in their complaint, but whether any rule of action can reach and dispose of them, except the laws of nature and the golden rule, is now the important question. Quito an interesting and romantic story wan published not long ago iu Ihe Omaha liee. relating to George Ziegler and ?.Ii.ss M.iggie E. Rhea, a handsome young woman of Osceola, Vs., which is worth reading and carefully nlacing in your scrap book. The story goes on to tell that away back in Virginia young Ziegler won the girlish love of this haudsomo maid. How the crowded cast gave the ambitious young man no chance to rise, and he determined to go to the far west to carve out a home, and lo do this he Wns forced lo part with his promised brids. How tho jears passed and financial success crowned his efforts. And now. in the ripeness of wo:t:. ui.uod she comes to Omaha to meet her affianced lover George Ziegler, of Arlington, which must have been a happy mccl-iig indeed, as Judge Mc Cullougii united them as man and wifo in tho holy bonds of wedlock on tho 23d of July '87. Wo wish them all tho blessings and jos attainable in this life, and should they ever, in tho future, cele brate the event ol their marriage and any member of the Journal family should receivo an invitation, wo would be happy to attend and form the ac quaintance of this noble couple. Wii-d.iiitoii l.etlfi". I From our uvular correspondent. I Among many other peculiarities that distinguish it oer all of the large cities of the United States, Washington can claim the unenviable notoriety of being the grand focus of most of the cranks of the country; they seem to drift hero as naturally as water finds its level. Per haps the poor creatures aro attracted by the big stone buildings and those high in authority, but fancied grievances are doubtless the chief impelling forces, which influence them to cast their for tunes witu the denizens of tho Capitol. The imaginary wrongs and the impos sible desires of these miserable and mis guided beings assume many forms and shapes first, and most dangerous, is the wild-eyed individual of tho Guiteau type we havo had'at least two of these lo the front in the past month -one was confined in the lunatic asylum for threatening the President's life, another was no sooner dismissed from the samo institutfw.i than he deliberab Iv. mid without a void of warning, murdered one of the best and oldest citizens of Washington, on a crowded street in broad daylight; and.onh two ilays since, still another crank was found kneeling on the '-tops of the White irons" and acting in a mysterious manner. Olh'-r classes of crtiuks are the woiild-be-in-vtntors of perpetual mot ion, and of ocean ballooning, who haunt the patent office; office-seekers, and female claim ants who habitually hang around the doors of the heads of departments, seek ing in vain, month after month, to un burden themselves of their stories of son ow ami suffering and of hopes long cherished, but still as bright as ever. I know, tha as a rule, women do not commit crimes agait'sl 'he peinon, but, 1 often notice dark and ominous gleams in the hollow, sunken eyes or these un fortunates, behind which seem to lurk shadows or desperate deeds, and some day their diseased brains will develop the murderous mania then woo to the victims of tho human tigress. Tho count or the cash in the treasury, begun about two months ago. was com pleted this week, and was only found short ?2.-l0, in a bag containing gold coin, which is believed to be the result or an orror when the amount was first counted: the tag showed the name of tho clerk, who made tho original count, and he promptly made good the de ficiency. The sum is so small that the Democrats can make no political capitol out of the count. The late Republican chief clerk of the patent office having resigned, ho feels free "to speak of the Bacon matter and explain the deficiency. Ho declares that the published statements have been mis leading, and that tho committeo made an inventory of tho contents of the safe, but did not examine the liooks. The apparent discrepancy of 11.000 may be a mistake, when accounts involving 11, 000,000 .md covering 30,000 pagos are carefully reviewed. Tho clerk further says "that tho practice of making ad vances to employees of tho office had existed during Bacon's entire term, and it was with the knowledge of his super iors." Secretary Lamar and Commis sioner Hall havo persistently refused to permit the publication of a list of the employees to whom advances were made, because tho custom had been continued under Democratic Administration, and Democrats of prominence were often tho beneficiaries. Tho heads of the several departments and tho local telephone company are having their same old dispute over the excessivo rates exacted for that service in the city, and so far, tho former de cline to submit to tho company's new scheme of equalization, which, as a mat ter of course, involves an increase of charges. The postmaster general, un der whoso direction the contract for all government telephoning is made throughout tho whole country, is au thority for tho announcement that the entire expense annually on that account is not in excess of the sum now paid by the United States for telephoning in tho District of Columbia alone. Like Banquo's ghost, the Todd cleri cal scandal will not down. It will be remembered by your readers, that the reverend gentleman was lately tried in this city, by a number of his ministerial brethren, on the charge of unchastity Rev. Dr. Sunderland, tho President's pastor defending tho accused the ver dict being "not proven." after the old Scotch fashion. This was unsatisfactory to the defendant though considering himself partially vindicated and he ap peals the case. Pending this action, the people of historic Manassas, where Mr. Todd lives and preaches, hold an indig nation meeting, produce some damaging affidavits, which they allege had been suppressed by the clerical court, and adopt resolutions denouncing Mr. Todd, as a moral leper and advising him to leave for tha good of thecommunity as well as for his own. The fallen minister is aggressive and determined, the out come of tb.9 affair will be watched with great and general interest. There are those who say that the treatment of Mr. Todd is an outburst of sectional feeling, as he is a northern man and has a southern congregation. R.

Gentlemen My littlo daughter was sorely afflicted with erysipelas every spring and fall for eleven years, continu ing for about two months each attack. It affected the whole skin surface with redness, thickening of ihe skin and often folio wed by a pustular entption. The physicians failed to relieve or arrest it, but the caso grew worse everv vear for eleven years. At the beginning of ono of her spells I commenced the use of Swift's Specific. In a few days it brought out a profuse pustula eruption, which in a few days lassed away, leaving the child perfectly well, and she has not had an attack or a symptom of tho disease since, now threo years ago, and has been in perfect health.

Francis Marak, jr.. of Kverest. Kan., the in ventor of tho appliance referred to. is hero dis posing of territory, and has made some sales of counties. The appliance is an ordinnry drum except that it it divided into apartments running tho length of the drum; one of these is virtual! a contin uation of the pipe, when the alamier is not turned, and makes a direct draft when diircd for starting a tire; when the daintier is turned, the partitions are so arranged that the heated air and smoke go alternately upward anil down ward through all the apartments (usually five in numlier. owing to the relative size of ultnt and drum) and finally ut the chimney. The princi ple is precisely the same as that of the famo'is jleiinomte heating furnaces, arid Hpplnil to cook or heating stoves, utilizes a great 1I.11I more of the heat evolved from the fuel than is done hy the ordinary drum. The pictures of progress are the-e: A tire, on the ground, under the oiien canopy of heaven; two pots, a cross stick and the pot 1 of victuals hanging over the tin-. second, the same, only a rude wall around. and a cone-shaped roof, uith a hole iu the mi.MIe forthesmoke to curl out at. Third, the ojien grate, in the open firr-plaee, a great portion of the heat escaping up the chim ney into the outer air. Fourth, the stove. Fifth, the stove and drum, increiising the amount of surface heated by tho same fuel. Sixth, the greatly improved drum, or lt.WI TOK, with a more intense and therefore more lenetntting heat from the Mime amount of fuel; forming a reservoir for beat except as it escapes through the metallic enclosure, and what little gets ont through the chimney. Abundant certificates can b given from those who l.avo used the R.U)ITOIt that it does all that is claimed for it. but the following are suf ficient: Blue Hills. Neisr.. ; 3Iarch 21, 137.

It caused Ihe kettle t boil and the oven to heat, quick, with one-half the fuel we had been using without the Itadiator.
