A XKFOBT from San Francisco last week that the Southern Pacific train from San Diego had been wrecked near Box Springs. The Pope has had a serious fit of un consciousness, which lasted over half an hoar. The college of cardinals are pre pared for the worst. In Oglethrope, Ga, Friday four small children were left in a house by Mary Porter (colored) while she went to work, were burned to death. It seems to be pretty generally con ceded that Blaine, Allison and Wana maker will be members of President Harrison's cabinet Good, strong men. The news l&st week which reached New York locates a horrible murderer and ripper in Jamaica,where he is report ed as now operating, and having com mitted three horrible murders. Sctatob Maher is chairman of the committee on immigration and a mem ber of that on mines and minerals, and counties and county boundaries. If any of his constituents have anything to of fer on these or any other subjects, the senator will be very glad to hear from them at an early date. Those who. wish to get a good common-sense statement of the silver ques tion in. all its bearings, of bow money affects civilization, why money is daar and property cheap, why low rate of interest means dear money, why silver shold be remonetized, and how the rep resentatives of the gold-standard oon tractionists in the United States are con- santly devising measures to transfer the wealth of the many to the few and mo nopolise the fruits of labor and enter prise, should get and read the speech of Wm. H.' Stewart in the TJ. 8. senate January 2d. It is full of meat. Haw te get a PaUie OMce. There are 120,000 offices in the gift of the new administration, and now is the time for those seeking public employ merit to take proper steps to secure one of these lucrative positions. All who . are interested should send 75 cents to J. H. Soule, Pab'r, Washington, D.

It gives betides a vast amount of important and valuable infor mation relative to government positions never before published. Mention this paper. The Lfgifdatare. The lobby is always an important ele ment in legwlation, and there are plenty of lobbyists on band at the capital. The main schemes are, of course, the ap propriations for this and that and the other, of present and prospective state institutions. ""The Omaha charter comes in for a considerable share of attention both ways, and also the Douglas county contests. The senate has passed: a bill giving tho national government jurisdiction over the reservations of Forts Robinson and Niobrara; a bill to amend existing law so that children over sixteen can not be sent to the reform school; a bill to take the calling of a jury out of the hands of the sheriff, and provide that ' the' judge may delay calling a jury until needed; a bill to extend the time for pay ing' for school land until 1900, if the holder shows that he has made improve ments thereon .and pays interest and taxes promptly. Senators Connor and Ransom opposed the live stock commission, a report of the board, showing expenses, being the occasion of the debate. On Friday the senate passed the aub miaaina proposition by the following vote: Teas Barton, Connor, Council, FuBok, GaUogly, Hoover, Howe, Hurd, Jewstt, Keekley, Lindsay, linn, Man niag, Nesbitt, Pickett, Robinson, Roche, Shaaner, Sutherland; Taggart, Wether-ald-SL , Nays Bsardsley.Dern, Ijams, Mahxb, Norval, Paulsen, Paxton, Pope, Ransom, Bayawad, Wolbach 11.

Letter. 1 Semaior Blair to faomlty that brought to bear from the south always results in prcokiag those geatle- into aatate a little snort of For instance, Mn nf Alahana. said that if it was in o ? - ? his power to expel every negro from that state and keep them oat he would do so. Mr. Blair, by asking bun if be thoacht it would be best for the inter ests of the white people in the south that the negroes should emigrate in a body, threw the Alabaman into a paaoon which caused him to engage in some rather bitter personalities toward the New Hampshire senator. The question asked was certainly a harmless one, and if asked by any other senator I don't believe would have engaged Mr. Morgan as it did. Why it is that the hot-blooded southerners are always ready to quarrel with Senator Blair has long been a puz zle to me. Be is essentially a man of peace, and yet he says that if he receiv ed a challenge to fight a duel he should feel it his duty to fight The senate has passed the amendment to the tariff bill, allowing one cent a pound on all sugar produced in this country. Senator Quay was the only republican 'senator who voted against the measure, and Senator Payne the only democrat that voted for it Unless something now unforeseen shall prevent, the bill will be passed by the senate to morrow afternoon. Commissioner of pensions. Black, wants to be appointed Judge Advocate General .of the Army, and rumor says Cleveland has promised him the ap pointment, but there is considerable doubt about his eligibility. The house has passed a bill providing for the admission of South, Dakota with two representatives and Montana with one, by presidential proclamation, wnen the voters accept the constitutions al ready formed; and for the admission of North Dakota, Washington and New Mexico by congress when their constitu tions are formed. Opinion differs as to the probabilities of senatorial'action on this measure, but the majority think that nothing will be done at the present session. Senators Morrell and Stanford, the republican members of the sub-committee of the committee on public buildings and grounds, which is engaged in invest igating the office of the supervising architect of the treasury, have already exposed a condition of affairs that should put somebody in prison. It has been a common practice in this office for employes to make contracts, through outside dummies, to perform work that should have been done in the office. Al though receiving salaries from the gov ernment, these men are allowed to con tract for work, and what is worse than all, to fix the price to be paid for the The investigation is not yet over; and it is said that considerable crooked ness is expected to be shown up in con nection with the selection of sites in various cities for public buildings. The democratic administration will not get out any too soon. The democratic senators are some what frightened at the prospect of a number of the democrats of the house voting with the republicans to pass the senate tariff bill. Representative Wil son of West Virginia and Representative Oatchings of Mississippi have openly stated their intention for voting for the measure, if it ever gets before the house, and it is generally believed there will be enough of the same sort to insure its passage, if it could be brought before the house. There's the rub.. It is hardly likely to be voted upon in the house, un less its friends can steal a march on its enemies. The supporters of the several candi dates for speaker are showing a disposi tion to divide up into factions. Penn sylvania has two candidates for clerk of the house, Hon. Ed. McPherson and Major Carson, Washington correspond ent of the Philadelphia Ledger. Penn sylvania has always had the clerkship when the republicans have had the house, but the combinations made on the speakership may result in giving it to some other state this time. Mr. Randall, although doubtless great ly enjoyed the defeat of the Mills-Car lisle wing of the party, which Mr. Cowles of North Carolina brought about when he secured the adoption of his motion referring a bill containing the internal revenue portion of the original Mills bill to the appropriation committee, of which Bantiaii ig chairman, instead of the ways and means committee to which it properly belonged, is now in a great quandary about what to do with the bilL If reported to the house it may pass, and that would be a rebuke to the administration and the party leaders, and as Mr. "R"flail expects to lead his party in the next house he does not want to set a precedent that might cause him trouble in the future.

RECOLLECTIONS Of" AN OLB SETTLER. BTDMOaCAB. - . v When the first legislatare jnet.they had no inconsiderable task before them, the territory had to be divided iato repH reeentative districts, the apportionment made, three judicial districts formed and an assignment of the jadges made, numerous franchises granted, aad sever al pioneers who had left their wives be hind in the states, sought a cheap meth od of dissolving their marriage bonds, and also the more important task of framing a code of civil and criminal practice. Evidently so much could not be done in the short space of forty days, and the necessary attentions given to codes. This was done by a bill of a few lines adopting the codes of Iowa so far as applicable. In the following years the attention of the best legal minds of the territory was given to the prepara tion of those laws, and at the session of 1857-58 it was understood that they were prepared. By some means they were not passed at that session, but an act was passed repealing the criminal code, under the supposition that a new one would be adopted, but the session came to a close without doing so. This left the territory for a year without a criminal code, a state of things which was said to have been engineered by a lawyer on the judiciary committee who expected thereby to gain an advantage for some of his clients. When thefact became known the impression was creat ed in the minds of many that a man could not be arrested or tried for a breach of the peace or a criminal offense. There lived in the eastern part of the county, near the present site of Schuy ler, a pioneer who was one of the first settlers, and has always remained one of the best In 1857 there settled near him a man by the name of Chadsey. In time the neighbors disagreed, and by 1858 bad got on very bad terms. The pioneer built a bridge over the slough Si . .. 1A, on his lana, ana aner n was duui Chadsey wished to cross it The pioneer forbid it, and on his persisting to do so watched the bridge with his gun, and threatened to shoot him, if he attempted it again, Chadsey then came to Colum bus, and made a complaint before a justice of the peace, and a warrant was issued and placed in the hands of Cyrus Tollman, the first sheriff of ' Platte county The sheriff went to the house of the pioneer, whom he found armed and who refused him admission. The sheriff, though an old California miner, concluded not to go any further alone, so he summoned a posse oomitatus of ten or twelve men and returned to the charge. In the meantime the pioneer had prepared for a vigorous defense. He and his sons had provided themselves with guns and ammunition ready for a siege, and were reinforced by the good lady of the house, who was armed with a long handled tin dipper, and had a large wash boiler of scalding hot water on the stove. The sheriff and his party were warned to keep away. They commenced a siege of the house, and were consult ing' as to the best manner of capturing the fort, when the justice who had issu ed the warrant rode by, returning from a trip to Buchanan, and saw the sheriff and his posse out by the fence looking very much perplexed and uncomfortable and the sheriff suggested that he should interview the pioneer, and remonstrate with him upon the course that he was pursuing, which he consented to do, with a result that a promise was given that he would appear voluntarily before the court that evening, with which ar rangement the sheriff very cheerfully coincided. Upon his appearing the in formation was found to be defective, and he was discharged, with some good ad vice by the court to both, advising them to go home and live like good neighbors, which they both agreed to do, and ever after lived in peace. Oaufea Gets It We mean the appropriation of $1,200, 000 for the purchase of a site for the erection of the new government building. The metropolis is to be congratulated on her good fortune. She deserves it, and all good Nebraskans are glad to see her prosper, because, the benefit is mu tual The Bee of Wednesday last had this to say: "Yesterday the president signed the bill providing a government building for Omaha. It had been supposed by some that Mr. Cleveland would either neglect or refuse to do this. But he could not have disapproved the measure without showing a prejudice against this state and city, as other bills of a similar nature had already received his signa ture. Nevertheless Omaha will appre ciate this gracious act of Mr. Cleveland's. There had been so much talk and so much delay that the general patience was becoming exhausted. "A very liberal slice of the appropria tion is for the purchase of the site. If the selection shall not be hampered by any sharkish efforts to unload real es tate, the sum .is ample for the purchase of eligible ground and plenty of it Happily the selection is beyond the reach of ordinary schemers. It will be made by impartial representatives of the government and the choice must be sanctioned by officials who have no pos sible local interests. As a matter of course the 'best site in Omaha' will be as abundant as blackberries. "Nebraska's forces at Washington merit congratulations for the action they have taken in relation to this measure from the first Senators Manderson and Paddock and Congressman MeShane worked in unison to secure the appro priation. There was no partisan flavor in the efforts of any of them. In the beginning they worked against many diskulties, and as they progressed bat tled with opposition from more than one source. They made a sturdy fight and won. A WEEK TN CHICAGO. Its t aAXUBDAT. As it is seh a delightful day and Sat urday is tha day of all days to see Chi cago at its beat, let as take a trip down town ajid do a htUe shopping. The cars are all very crowded bat at length we succeed in getting into one of the cables. Of covae we are dressed in our beat of clothes, for everyone dons their finer attire oa going down town even for basi aaaa aad espsi isllea Saturday, for that aasawtolwaldMafisaftTday.w As wagat iato the ear we tad sQ the seats tohsa. a4 it fcejai aa jf we ahaald have to stand. Ah, no! A young man, or rather a dude one of Chicago's tyaiaal dudes has risen, aad with a polite bow lav offered us hia seat Aa ha ijfc we shall have a good chance to view his attire. Ha is dreauad in tha iitiaau height and he certainly does look ridiea- lous. Hia pant legs are somethiaj mous more like two bags. Hia are pasted down over a low, aad by no means intellectual forehead, aad an eye glass makes up in increased eyesight for a deficiency of brains. But he is tar from being a representative of Gaioago manhood. As we look up and down, the oar we are impressed by the handsome appearance of the majority of the aaaa and the elegance and refinement of the ladies. But the cable has jerked aroaad the curve carrying its load of humanity down under the Chicago river, but as the tunnel is brilliantly lighted by elec tricity we hardly feel as if we were cast into "outer darkness," still there is a general sigh-of relief as we emerge again into daylight and the dirty streets of the city. It is perfectly bewildering when we alight from the car; and now the task of getting to the sidewalk begins. It keeps us dodging the teams and excus ing ourselves to the people that we run into, but here comes a policeman and he very politely bows and raises his "baton" and a general halt occurs, during which we contrive to get across the street, fol lowed by the scowls of the dray and cabmen who have lost perhaps one-fifth of a second because of us. But then in this bustling city if every minute repre sented a fortune one could not be-mora precious of their time. Everyone iarra' hurry, and it does seem such a relief' occasionally to meet some one who acts as if they had a minute to spare and as if every second was not to be their last We will go into Marshall Fields' now, as that is considered one of the finest Chicago dry goods houses. As we ap proach, the great plate glaus doors are swung open by a lad neatly dressed in uniform, and the display of elegant and costly finery as we enter is tempting in the extreme. While we are strolling leisurely up and down the various aisles we cannot but note the endless variety and infinite amount of apparel that the magic word "dry-goods'' may cover. When we have made a purchase, the old annoyance of having a dozen throats calling "cash," and then to have a little chap come tearing down the aisles like mad, clutching at whosoever's drapery of fers the most resistance, and after taking your purchase to seem to lapse into per fect serenity while you may wait fifteen minutes for the young man and your parcel, is completely done away with. Instead, your cash is placed in a little wooden ball and then that and your goods into a basket and both are sent flying along wire lines that lead to the cashier's desk. But when we have walked all around the first floor of this great building we have not' begun to see all as we have yet six floors to visit While we wait for the elevator we find gorgeously upholstered couches to tempt tired feet, but it is scarcely ever necessa ry to wait long as there are three eleva tors kept constantly at work. And what beautiful affairs they are, too! The en tire interior is one great mirror and wherever one looks it is a constant repe tition of one's self and all about the sides are velvet seats. When we step out onto the second floor a lovely little balcony fitted up like a miniature palace greets the eye and offers a tempting re quest for us to sit down, where, esoohsed in some great arm chair or dainty wicker rocker, we may command a view of the entire store. The little baskets with their precious freights are rushing wild ly in every direction and people are hurrying this way and that way, while the many doorways are alive with the constant stream of people. On this floor we find our millinery, cloaks, wraps and fancy work, while the floors above are laden with upholsteries and potteries; but we must not stop as it is nearing noon and we have many stores yet to visit But let's stop and take just a peep into this window. It is one of our larg est jewelry establishments and the wealth of precious stones are laid about on the drapery of white velvet in a most enticing manner. And there in the cen ter is the cutest little device all of por oelain. It is an old fashioned dump-cart and a funny little horse hitched to' it, while perched upon a seat in front is a man wearing a large sombrero hat The cart is filled with powdered charcoal and scattered all about amongst it all the most beautiful and precious diamonds, some as large as pennies and worth thousands of dollars. But Chicago is such a dirty, smoky place that about this time we find our toilet not quite as fresh as when we left home, so we will shp into Mandel's dry goods store and down into the basement where we will find the loveliest suite of rooms all fitted up with every conven ience. We enter into a large room with velvet carpets and unique bits of furni ture with costly draperies hanging all about Here and there are tables sup-, plied with paper, pencils, pens and ink where mam'selle may sit and write at her leisure and entirely at the expense of the firm. In a smaller room adjoin ing are marble basins with perfumajl soaps and all the accessories of the toilet which one could find at home, and 'two or three oolored women stand about ready to wait upon or lend any assist ance. But now the "inner man" has begun to assert himself and naturally our foot steps are turning in the direction of Gunther'a, O! what a delightful odor pervades tnat care as we turn into it, and dosing the door, shut out the ble smell of smoke and dirt which seems to permeate the very atmosphere. A gentiemaiily neero aaeeta us at the door and gallantly escorts ns down tha stately I uuuuw wub, iioNwiui giust mirrors On either side, past the rows of brightly polished tables with the groups of two and three sipping and axMSinuur. and finally seats us at an unoccupied table and drawing the chair out oourteously tor us sooves ic up u ine laoie after we are seated.

We will try a little turtle soup and so long aa we are waiting wa will observe the unsur-fiassfii mafuoanoaj)f this room which almost baflaa descrip tion. The floor is of pink and white marble laid in alternate blocks, while the walls or that part not occupied by the minora is heavily carved and cov ered with gold and silver. On either aide of the room are the boo bona piled high in great pyramids and fantastic shapes with miniature castles out of blocks of sweetmeats, reflected by the mirrors again and again. The oainng is all of gold and at the farther end of the room a broad staircase tha width of a goodaiaad room aad all of solid pink aaarble, leads up to a kind of balooay where the stairs deride aad lead to STATEMENT laity Smtm laa.

The banisters are of heavy carved oak and the Neul post nolds a pot or tall palms that nearly reach the ceiling. But here comes tne waiter witn our nice warm soup and while we are supping the fra grant viand we cannot but notice the nch service, the heavy table linen and the silver and gold spoons; the china is so delicate one almost feels afraid to handle it. We must go up now into the hall overhead and see some of the most interesting and antique curiosities that are owned by any private individual in the United States. To describe all of them would fill a volume. There is the chair that Washington sat in when the oath of administration was taken; and here is a pair of Napoleon's boots; while over in that corner is the mummy of an Egyptian Pharaoh. But to try to pic ture all the wonders would be impossi blea day might be spent in that room without having seen it alL But, here it is half-past three and I hoped we would be able to go to tne matinee but we shall have to postpone that pleasure until Wednesday when we shall proba bly encounter many of the fashionable of Chicago. As we leave this beautfful palace we cannot refrain from a parting glance at this perfect dream of pink marble and sold, and then turning about again we find ourselves once more in the busy throng. This attraction and that holds our attention and it is just 590 when our delinquent footsteps are turned toward home. But the crowd that greets our now weary eyes as we wait for the cable a laughing, chatting crowd that hardly look as if they were soon to be put to the painful necessity of tearing each others clothes and scrambling over one another and to tread upon tender feet in the frantic endeavor to gain even I foothold on one of these public convey ancesand all this, too, to an accompa niment of heavy trucks rattling over great stone pavements, added to the hoarse yells of a dozen throats. If there is room for even one foot on the lower step we feel duly grateful for that and our nickle is handed out as the acknowledged compensation of being literally crushed. We are traveling along at an even pace and are secretly congratulating ourselves on being so near home, when suddenly there is a halt and a long unbroken silence, when the conductor meekly announces that the "cable has broken," and we are left either to sit quietly there and take the chances of anything to eat when we get home or we may get out and walk. But after our hard day's sight-seeing we are tired and decide to stay where we are until the cable has "rested,'' in the meantime taking what satisfaction we may out of sundry side remarks to our selves. "It was not ever thus." There was a time when Chicago boasted street cars good, reliable street cars but these have been abolished in favor of our modern conveniences of "rapid transit,'' and where it once took us 20 minutes we are now taken in the incredibly short space of two hours! And now we awake from our dream to find that we are again jogging along and when the con ductor calls out the name of our desti nation we stumble out from the car and onto the street really too tired to fully appreciate the pleasures of our first day in Chicago.
