Senator M is chairman of the committee on immigration. Senator Hisoock of New York, was on a visit to Gen. Harrison last week. It was reported at Suakim, on the 30th nit, that the rebel tribes at Handaub contemplate surrendering to the British. Cot Dent, a brother-in-law of Gen. Grant, died January 1 at his home in Carthage, Mo., aged seventy-three years: The county superintendents didn't hold the proposed convention at Lin coln. There is considerable conflict over the appointment of warden to the peniten tiary. President Cleveland has withdrawn the name of Leon O. Bailey to be United States district attorney for Indiana. It was reported from London last week that Emin Pasha had escaped to the shores of Victoria Nyanza and is now waiting for Stanley. Senate file 2 by Howe is an act to pre vent the importation of armed men or associations of men into this state for the purpose of police duty. Hon. John A. Dempster is the author of the first bill introduced in the house. It provides for the submission of a pro hibitory constitutional amendment. The joint committee on union of the northern and southern Presbyterian churches adjourned from New York on the 1st, to meet at Atlanta, Ga., April 24. Representative Beardsley is after the scalp of the Live Stock Commission. He may get so far as to raise the hair, but will hardly succeed in using the knife. Charles Swift and Joseph Beislock, pupils of the institute for the deaf and dumb, at Columbus, (X, were drowned on the 1st by breaking through the ice on a pond. An estimate from Helena, Mont, Jan. 4, fixes the output of the gold, silver, lead and copper mines of Montana for the last year at between $35,000,000 and $40,000,000 Many persons have been killed up to the 3d inst, and a large number of build ings destroyed by an earthquake in Russian- Turkistand, extending from Kojend to Kastakos. Miss Mary B. Sherman of Wakeman, a student of Oberlin college, Ohio, com mitted suicide on the 2d, by shooting herself with a revolver. Over-study is assigned as the cause. BmfiBgH are heard on every side in regard to the beautiful weather we are enjoying this winter, and the old inhabi tants say it beats any winter weather they have seen for years in Nebraska. The number of Harrison voters in 1840 who recently supported Gen. Harrison, the names of whom have been carefully preserved in Iowa, number 3,000. A similar list of veterans in Ohio reaches G.831. The other afternoon at Pittsburg, Pa John Cochran, a small boy, went into a sewer with a lighted match to hunt for a natural gas leak. He found it, and an explosion followed, which fatally burned him. The Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer on the morning of Jan. 4, says the name of Thurston, of Nebraska, is considered among the cabi net possibibiltties and some think he is a certainty. It is stated that George W. Williams, the colored historian who wrote the an nals of his race, is engaged on a biogra phy of Toussiant L'Ouverture, of whom Wendell Phillips said he was greater than Washington. A vote has been taken by a Dead wood, Dakota, paper on the question of single or double statehood, and it is shown that a little more than five-sixths of those answering are in favor of ad mission as two states. The President and Mrs. Cleveland gave a brilliant New Year's reception at the Executive Mansion, which was at tended by a large number of prominent personages, lasting for several hours 'and ended very pleasantry. Thomas Vines, assistant timekeeper of the Adams & Westlake manufactur ing company, at Chicago, has disappear ed, taking with him the week's salary of 700 men and boys. The amount of money carried off is aboat $10,000. The Castle Chiefs ten-stamp quartz nil, situated on Little Rapid creek, twenty-six miles from Deadwaod, Dak, was bamed on the morning of the 2d. It is eapposed to be the work of an in cendiary. The loss is estimated at $8,000. Anna J. Stillwell, a wealthy mer caantof H", Ma, was found mur dered the othernight by a burglar while nlnrminr at home. The weapon was an axe, which, with Still well's pocket book $35, was romnd in an aueyin we -of the house. Joaar Heaton, M. P., has accepted an invitatisa to visit the United States adythisyear. While here he expects to npnr before tmmg mm in advocacy of ocean penny postage, and much of his tatt win he given to the farthering of The Bald Knobbers gang of condemn ed desperadoes escaped, from jail at Ozard, Ma, by some unknown person or persons from the out side cutting through the brick wall of the jail, enter ing through the corridor and cells and releasing the prisoners. A singular fact happened with Dave Walker, leader of the Bald Knobbers, and his son, also un der sentence to hang, refused to leave the prison, together with Caleb Bucket. Wx all know that Rev. J. G. Tate is a shrewd stump speaker. He seems equally at home in some other matters. In his first invocation as chaplain of the senate he seemed to have stretched his hope (which is said to be a mixture" of desire and belief) to the utmost limit when he asked that the work of the senate in malring laws should approximate the Divine will. It was stated last week in an exchange that Mrs. Custer, widow of the general, had returned from Europe. She spent the summer in England and in Germany, and has come back to go to work at once on a book for boys about army Ufa in the west. "Tenting on the Plains was favorably received in England and is about to be translated into German. A Lincoln correspondent remarks that the voice of Senator Connor of Buffalo will be heard frequently during the session and in no uncertain tone either. Mr. Connor is a very able man and, we believe, thoroughly devoted to the best interests of the people. He had the honor of introducing senate file No. 1, a bill for making a legal verdict in the 'district court by a vote of nine out of twelve of the jurymen. Extreme cold prevailed at St Peters burg on the 3d and in the Ekaterin burg district of southern Russia. It is estimated that 175 persons have been frozen to death. The Black, Caspian and Azov seas are frozen over. Railroad disasters on account of cold and snow are reported at Bakn and other places through the Caucasus. The North Platte Telegraph of Jan. 2, was a splendid edition, and reflected credit upon its publishers. It contained a write-up of the town and county, be sides cuts of the prominent buildings of the town, including Buffalo Bill's resi dence and ranch. It probably cost $500 and shows the appreciation of North Platte business men. A terrible fire occurred at St Louis, Mo., about 2 o'clock on the morning of the 1st, in Richardson's wholesale drug store building, burning to the ground. The building was erected several years ago at a cost of $150,000 and the stock of goods on hand was valued at $675,000. Andrew Geraghty, night watchman in the building, it is believed perished in the flames. The annual meeting of the Nebraska Press Association will be held Thursday evening, January 17th, (Franklin's birth day) at the Capital Hotel, Lincoln. A splendid program has been prepared, the legislature will be in session, and every newspaper man who attends will be interested. Neither party is? reference to the ap plication for an injunction to restrain the mayor and police from interfering with the Arbeiter Bond's meetings, at Chicago, succeeded, but both parties filed application on the 2d and the case goes over for further hearing. The train on the Trans-Caucassian railroad became blocked in the snow on the 3d inst, at Sabuntschi, near Tiflis. Fourteen passengers perished and twen ty were injured. A relief party became lost in the snow and were frozen to death. The Worth ef their Money. Senator Ransom has introduced a bill in the legislature compelling insurance companies in cases of total loss to pay the entire amount of the insurance call ed for in the policy without rebate. The measure will commend itself on the ground of simple justice, and will be ap proved by many citizens of the state who, after a long struggle to force in surance companies to comply with their policy contract have been compelled to accept an adjustment which failed to cover the loss against which they had paid for protection. f Omaha Bee. Finest Traia to Washington. The finest train to the national capital is the Vestibule Limited leaving Chicago via Baltimore & Ohio R R at 7.05 p. m. daily, arriving at Washington the next evening at 9.35, and Baltimore at 10.45. Every car in the train is vestibuled, in cluding baggage cars, day coaches and Pullman sleepers. All the cars are heat ed by steam drawn from the locomotive. Porters are in attendance in the day ooaches, as well as' in the sleepers, to wait upon passengers. No extra fare is charged for passage on this train. Tick ets via B. k O. are for sale everywhere throughout the west For the Jodbh al. To the Farmers. The following will show what I have received from the Columbus Creamery from the cream of fourteen cows for the year 1888, which amounts to $378.69, which the creamery books will prove. A great many people think it does not pay to sell cream but I know otherwise. My cream has brought me more than my corn, wheat and oat, would bring at the present prices today. Who can say it does not pay to sell cream? Of course I take good care of my cows. I sow corn for the fall months and feed it green. I give them one feed of hay and one feed of millet in winter, also six quarts apiece of bran, shorts and meal, mixed, three in the morning and three in the evening. If more farmers would take hold of the cream business and stick to it we could make it a grand success. The more pa trons the creamery has the better prices they can pay. Success to the Columbus Creamery. D. L. Brush. Mr. Braen tells us that besides selling the cream as above he believes the resi due of milk was sufficient to keep 14 shoats. Ed. Joukxatj. What Mr. Paddeek Thinks ef It. "During the presidential canvass," said Senator Paddock, "it was universally al leged by deBaocratic members that after the election the subject of the tariff would be dropped by the republican sen ate. On the other hand, the republican speakers everywhere assured the country that, the work of tariff reform should be speedily done, so far as the senate was (wncerned, altar oorefitws ia Decern. ber. The republican senators have striven from the first to keep the pledge, but the domocratic senators have shown an intention to prevent the passage of thebilL The best evidence of the per fect good faith of the republican sena tors, their unanimoas determination to sit iiight and day till Christaaas without a holiday recess until the ball could be perfected and passed, and the policy 'of the democrats was clearly shown by their opposition to the 'plan. But they have come to their senses at last and we shall pass the bill The bill does not suit me in many re spects," continued the senator. "I would like to have sawed white pine lumber on the free list, for example, but I don't think this can be accomplished at the present session. I feel quite cer tain, however, that we can reduce the duty from $2 to $1 a thousand." "Are you a tariff reformer?" "Yes and no. I am for the protection principles, but I want all duties reduced to the minimum consistent with that idea." Washington special to Chicago News. Perseverance. A correspondent writing to Western Resources evidently believes in perse verance. He says: "A man who engages to raise potatoes for a livelihood for ten years to come, and bends his energies to get out of the work all the money there is in it and never falters because of a poor crop one year, and bad prices next can make a fortune. I have seen it ac complished. The man planted 20 acres, to potatoes every year. He watched the markets closely; learned of the best times in which to sell; went from home to find a market if the home price was not to his likingtudied the probable crop for the forthcoming year, and at last was able to tell pretty nearly what his crop would bring twelve months in ad vance; made four or five grades from the same digging, etc. Any one line of business well persued may be made profitable. Whatever you do, put time, study, patience, fore thought plain, unembroidered common sense to bear upon it and you shall suc ceed. Ten years more or less is not a long time. One reason why those who launch out to become financiers never earn the title, is because they do not remain with it long enough. And they don't remain with it long enough because they have no money in it to speak of. They are afraid to put it in. They have an idea that chickens ought to make money for one without planting any; one should reap without sowing. Now, see here: I have seen a farmer buy a $250 harvester, and his entire crop of small grain con sisted of 9 acres of wheat and 4 acres of oats. He seldom if ever harvested more. Here was a nice investment paying in vestment indeed. He was willing to put any amount of money into the business that he could have attended to with a cradle and rake. He never would suc ceed as a cattlejfinancier, or any special ist He lacked sense and always lacked cents." For the Journal. True Worth. "This troth is everywhere confessed, Slow rises worth, by poverty oppressed," Yes, for it is the way of the world, that the possession of wealth, or the appear ance of it enters far more largely into the estimate of a man, than worth. But bear in mind, that those who are truly good and great, will value you accord ing to your nobility of character, and that can be developed in a hovel as well as in a palace. By far, the majority of the great men of this country were brought up in cottages or cabins, and cut their way through difficulties in numerable; and the same can truthfully be said of many of the wisest and best men of other countries. Jeremy Taylor was a barber's son; Robert Burns was a plowman of Ayreshire, and he became the greatest of Scotch, poets; Benjamin Franklin, was a journeyman printer in his early days, and he became one of the most celebrated philosophers and states men. Virgil was the son of a baker, and Lhe became the most celebrated of Latin poets; Demosthenes was a poor, stutter ing boy, the son of a butler, and he be came the most famous orator of ancient times. Daniel Webster said "we should make it a principle to extend the hand of fellowship to every man who discharges faithfully his duties, without stopping to ascertain whether he swings a ham mer or draws a thread." Look the world bravely in the face, strive to do right, be fearless and courageous in the de nunciation of wrong, quick to extend a helping hand, to encourage others to a fresh effort in the path of duty, and you will do much good in the world and be rich in the truest sense of the word. "Think not the man whose mansions hold Tbe worldling's pomp and miner's gold, Obtains a richer purse. Than be, who, in his cot of rest. Finds heavenly Peace a willing guest. And bears the promise in his breast Of treasons in the skies." Washington Letter. From oar regular correspondent. Senator Allison went over to New York one evening last week and return ed the next day, but short as his visit was it was long enough to be made the basis for any number of cabinet stories all more or less affecting Messrs. Miller, and Piatt When these stories were re peated to Mr. Allison he smiled in an amused way, but said nothing. One thing may be set down as certain, all the rumors of Senator Allison's entering any combination antagonistic to Mr. Blaine are the merest nonsense. Mr. Blaine has no better friend in this country than Senator Allison, and no cabinet compli cations that can possibly happen are likely to estrange these two men. Cleveland in a letter of regret sent to the Tariff Reform League of Boston, gets after the faint hearted freetraders of his party in congress with a sharp stick. The effect of this letter is already ob servable among the democratic members of the house now in this city. Just be fore the recess, many of them were talk ing seriously of passing a bUl repealing the tobacco tax and the United States license for retail liquor dealers. Now these same men are saying that any re duction made in the revenue of the gov ernment, must come from import duties, and that under no circumstances will they vote for any measure reducing the internal revenue taxes. They also say that a determined fight is to be made on the republican tariff bill when it reaches the house. All of which shows that al though Cleveland was defeated for the presidency, he still has the power to force his Ytewa upon the meaabefs of bis party against their own oosnetiowk Well, it will be all right anyway, of course nobody expected the democratic house to pass any sensible tariff measure. It will remain for the republican house to pass a tariff bill which will relieve the treasury of the surplus and at the same time be just and equitable to the busi- interests of the country. Mr. Cleveland pardoned a counterfeit er, a bank wrecker, a moonshiner and a polygamist out of prison last week. Senator Stanford's fancy stock raising .is not altogether for amusement, as he has just sold a weanling colt by Elec tioneer, from the famous mare Beautiful Belle, for $1200. Four of this mare's colts have sold for $92,000. Apropos of the criticism heardin some quarters about the enormous expense of the inauguration and its attendant cere monies, including the ball, it seems proper to say that not one cent ot this money is paid by the government It is paid by the people that attend the "ball, tickets to which cost $5 each. In order to facilitate matters in making the ar rangements it had always been customs ry to ask for private contributions to what is known as the guarantee fund. This time the contributions already made to this fund amount to more than $50,000. These contributions were at the last inauguration all returned to the donors and the committee still had on hand a surplus which was donated to charity. Before criticising the expenses, of the inauguration, fault finders should, remember that in this case the old Scotch adage "he that dances must4 pay the piper" is strictly adhered to. '; The contested election cases of Smalls vs. Elliott and Sullivan vs. Felton are expected, to come up in the house this week. The contestants are both repub licans, one of them a colored man, and there is no. probability that either 'of them will be allowed to obtain the seats to which they were undoubtedly elected. The democrats of the house are not in a humor to do the decent thing. A new statue has been added to the interesting collection in 'statuary hall at the capitoL It is that of Gen. Lewis Cass, and was presented by the state of Michigan. Senator Cullom says it is probable that some important amendments will be offered to the inter-state commerce law, shortly. Mr. Cullom does not agree with those who think the law a failure, but he admits that some important changes are necessary before the law can fully ac complish the purposes for which it was framed. The speakership canvass has been ac tively going on during the holiday recess, and three new candidates Messrs. Lodge, Bayne and Farquhar have been entered by their friends for the race. None of the candidates are seemingly making much headway, the members don't like to commit themselves quite so early in the game, as it would effectually shut them out of some advantages wBich may be gained by making combinations later, and of course every member wants to gain something either in the way of patronage or a coveted place on a good committee, hence they are very wary. Mr. Blaine and his family are expected in Washington next month. They will remain for the season. RECOLLECTIONS OF AN OLD SETTLER. BT INOOMAR. The Western Union Telegraph line was built in 1860, the late Edward Creighton superintending the work. The first operator stationed here was P. W. Johnson, a young man about twenty two years of age. We never knew what the first two letters of his name stood for, as when questioned he always re plied " Pleasant Weather," and as a mat ter of fact it was always pleasant weath er when he was around, he remained here until 1862 when he was relieved under the following circumstances: Joe. E. Johnson had been a resident of Council Bluffs and publisher of the Council Bluffs Bugle, a paper democrat ic in politics and Mormon in religion, from an early day, and about 1860, he found it advisable to leave to avoid in dictments based upon the adaptability he had shown in carrying out Brigham Young's teachings in relation to his domestic affairs, and located at Wood River at the crossing of the mili tary road, where he published a paper called the "Huntsman Echo," which was intensely copperhead in politics. He, in 1862, had an arrangement with the telegraph company that he should be furnished with dispatches, to be sent from Columbus which was carried out for some time. At last Johnson publish ed an unusually bitter article against the government and P. W. Johnson be came so-indignant that he notified him that the contract was terminated and the company would furnish him no more dispatches. This action was not ap proved by the superintendent and P. W. was transferred to the Juleeburg of these days. Shortly afterward Joe. E John son made his valedictory bow to -the public and predicted that the war -then raging between the north and south would continue until it became a, "Kilkenny cat" affair, that all the In. diansin North America wouldtakeapart in it before it was finished, and finally the handful of people left would call on Brigham Young to take charge -of af fairs, and save them from total annihila tion, and that while the crack of the rifie and the dashing of swords would be heard all over the land, in the mountains around Salt Lake only would there be peace and security. He also stated that he knew this because he heard the late Joseph Smith during his lifetime pre dict that it would happen. Shortly af ter this utterance he harnessed his mules, yoked his oxen, loaded up his printing press, goods,vand wives and started for Salt Lake, where in due time he arrived in good order, and has not vexed the soil of Nebraska sinoe. Shortly after assuming control of the office at Julesburg P. W. Johnson re turned to his old home in Iowa, after a little lady who had previously consented to fight the battles of life on bis aide, and on his way back remained a day or two with his old Columbus friends, after which they started for the place which was to be 'their future residence, no doubt with great anticipations of future happiness, alas! not to be realised, as soon-after he was stricken with typhoid fever, and in a.few days the devoted wife was prostrated with the same dis ease, and although the company the best possible, (sending a physician and nurse from Fort Kearney) for their re Uef, distant did ito work, sad when the 1 . ! body of the husband was carried to the grave, the wife was mercifully unoou- ! scions of her loss, and in a few days was laid beside him, and they now rest in that desolate country probably in un marked graves. NX1RASKA NOTEK. The Nebraska Bee-Keepers' Aaseiation will meet in Lincoln Jan. 9, 10 and 11. It was reported on the 3d that the State National bank attached the proper ty of the Loup City Roller Mill company. It is claimed that the Mill company has ample means to meet all her liabilities and the citizens cannot see the propriety of issuing an attachment on the Roller Mill property. A disastrousre occurred at Madison, Monday morning, destroying the livery barn of Geo. Losey, containing thirty six valuble horses and all of his buggies; the agricultural implement house of H. H. Fuller and most of its contents, and the residence of Chas. Gross. Loss about $6,000. The cause of the fire is unknown. On the 1st at Falls City, the prelimin ary examination of Frank Clark took place, on a charge of shooting and killing Dr. Hanlon. Clark was held for his ap pearance in the sum of $6,000 bail. While Clark was absent from the state his wife procured a divorce and went over into Kansas and there married this man Han lon. After Clark returned home he met the man and shot him. Walking is healthful for man or wo man. It exercises nearly all the muscles of the body, and produces a free circula tion of the blood, and good digestion all so neoessary to a sound condition. If American women of all classes would walk only as much as English ladies do, it would promote the health and vigor of the present generation of women, and next generation of both sexes would be far stronger and more healthy. Ulys ses Dispatch. Men who advertise constantly in their home paper want your patronage, and don't want you at any time to forget it They want you to know that they are still in busines at their old stand, and keep a standing invitation before you to inspect their goods. The merchants who keep standing advertisements all the year round don't play catch penny dodges to get your money, but they wish to conduct a fair and legitimate business every week in the year. (Pen and Plow. The citizens and sheriff on the 6th in dulged in a county seat fight between Hornerville and McCook. The sheriff and a posse of seventy-five men made a descent on Hornerville during the ab sence of the county officials at McCook, disarmed the citizens who were guard ing the court house with Winchester rilles, and brought back a portion of the county records to Elwood. This action divides the records and as a matter of course widens the branch between the citizens about the location of the county seat The weather in this vicinity has simply been splendid. It appears this year to be ahead of even Nebraska weather in this region. Some farmers begin to think what their lands will do for their fertilizing snows and rains to put them in condition to cultivate crops in the spring. Farmers in Nebraska have been 'in the habit of relying strongly upon the laws of nature to fix up this department They find it pleasant anyhow to culti vate and indulge in a strong faith in this direction. Last year against unfa vorable circumstances this faith bore them up against a late and wet spring, to sow, plant and cultivate their crops and they had the pleasure, generally, of realizing very fair crops. Cling to the laws and their Author. The Omaha dailies of the 5th contain ed accounts of a terribly destructive fire at the farm of John Craig, six miles northeast of Schuyler on the night of the 3d. He had one of the largest and best barns in all the state, and at mid night he was awakened by the hired girl and found his large barn in flames. Forty-three horses, seventy head of cat tle and twenty hogs perished. There was also destroyed $1,000 worth of farm machinery, 900 bushels of oats, a large quantity of hay and some fine blooded Durhams. Among the horses destroyed was a stallion that cost $3,000, and seven Kentucky thoroughbreds, several of which cost $1,000 each. The barn cost $6,000 a few years ago. The total loss will reach $20,000. There was no insur ance. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. The hired man is suspected, as he has disappeared; he had some trouble with Craig's brother. Synopsis of the Proceedings of the Board ef Supervisors. Wkdnxsday p. m., January 2d, 1889.
