It was a great day at Washington. United States man-of-war Monon gahela left Mare Island on the 21st for Samoa. A ctcixjne passed over BankB oounty, Georgia, one morning last week. Several persons were killed. Abbreviations should be written Nebr. for Nebraska, Cola for Colorado, and Calif, for California. The Journal statistician has compiled a number of facts from the report of the secretary of state that will be handy to keep for reference. A yrtvn in Dakota and Minnesota last Thursday, and the heaviest fall of snow within the recollection of old citi zens at Columbia, South Carolina. Gbo. Williams, a little boy of Newark, N. J., died from the effect of swallowing a small piece of wood. An autopsy re vealed the fact that the smaller intes tines had been punctured by the wood. The Nova Scotia bark Josie Troop, with a cargo of chalk and seventeen men as a crew, was wrecked at Chicamioomi c6, N. C. The master and ten men were drowned. The vessel and cargo are a total loss. Those who are feeding cattle for the market will be glad to hear of some syn dicate rising up with strength enough to successfully cope with the "Big Four," and save some of the profits of cattle raising to the men engaged in that busi ness, and who do the most work. The last word from Hastings was that the agents of Armour were there making arrangements to put in markets for the sale of dressed meats. The butchers will oppose the scheme strongly. Ar mour's agents say they intend to drive every butcher in the city out of busi ness in a month. Harrah far Egaa! Liberty-loving men everywhere rejoice over the complete vindication of the great Irish patriot, PamelL Everybody was satisfied that the letters in contro versy were forgeries, but it seemed im possible to prove this fact to the public. Nebraska, as usual in cases of emer gency, came to the rescue in the person of our Patrick Egan, who got the proof positive all together and sent it by mes senger to Parnell, who was much affected when he came to realize its value. As a correspondent remarks: "Had Egan not made the discovery the truth of the letters could have been only denied, but their falsehood could not have been demonstrated. That situation would have been a Times victory, and victory of the Times would be the ruin of Par nell and the Home Bule party, and the indefinite discredit of the Liberals.'' As it is, however, Gladstone and Parnell are several points ahead in their fight for Irish liberty. The bill introduced in the legislature by Bepresentative Cady providing for the payment of a bounty of two cents per pound to the manufacturers of beet sugar in this state is one that should be passed. Experiments recently made at Grand Island demonstrated the fact that beets raised in this state yield a greater , per cent, of sugar than those raised in Germany, where the beet sugar industry thrives to a greater extent than any country in the world. This practical demonstration of the feasibility of the Bunufactureof beet sagar in Nebraska is one inducement, but not a sufficient one, to invite capital to be invested in its production. The additional induce ment of a state bounty of two cents per pound, would, however, give sufficient warrant'of profitable returns on capital invested in its production, and manu factories would be established for its manufacture. With. two or three beet sugar works established in the state, a new field of profit would be opened up to our farmers, and their condition would be greatly bettered by it The farmer members of the legislature should give this bill their united sup-port-Norfolk News. We notice by several of our exchanges that Brad. D. Slaughter is a candidate for the position of United States Mar shal for the district of Nebraska. There certainly could be no appointment made by President Harrison which would be more satisfactory to the people of North western Nebraska. Coming here at the close of the war he has made this state his home for the past twenty-four years. For many years he traveled constantly into every county and town in the state, actively engaged -in writing up and ad vertising its agricultural resources and its wonderful capabilities. When we say that Brad's appointment would give universal satisfaction regardless of poli ,tics,weJmow that it would gratify his seamy rsamblioaa friends, and we trust that it will be the first appointment made in the state by the president. Ainsworth Star. "Brad", is well known all over Ne braska, as one of the rustlers in political Batters. He has never aspired to an oaace but what he has been abundantly able to fill it; indeed, the fact that he has been chief clerk of the House so , (five) has been owing to ability to be speaker of the : among the best paruamen- i the state aad very quick to see TTieiTia I mil IdaUght im doing hit work thoioawUj, promptly theaowtin QMJMr.tr !!. tioa. voBsraaoazxaML - ' ' a) JMOT aaWvaJL Whan It Garrard suggestion of approved securities with a state to prevent loss to depositors in banks, is being acted upon in Illinois. The ten dency of the times is toward this meth od, and we would not be surprised to see it become a law in every state of the union. What commends it, aside from the fact that it would virtually do away with wildcat banks, prevent the organi zation of any more such, and be a solid safeguard for those who deposit their hard-earned cash in the banks, is the fact that it would make a market a home for all kinds of good securities. If a school district issues bonds to erect a new school-house, if a city issues bonds to construct water-works, for instance, the bonds will not have to go begging in an eastern market, at a small premium, or a large discount, but these will be picked up at home, and held at home, thus retaining here the interest money also. It is, thus, a measure productive of only good, to all interests. While we have a paper currency based upon "the stability of our government, and which is as good as gold, let us see to it that our banks, all of them, shall be, at least, reasonably safe depositories of the money of the people. The only safety now is the integrity and financial responsibility of the bank officials. The provision of the Illinois bill is as follows: Every association organized under this act and every corporation with banking powers organized in pursuance of any general or special law of this state, and every consolidated corporation with banking powers as provided by this act, shall file in the office of the secretary of state, to be held aa a security to depos itors, United States bonds or securities for the payment of which the faith of the United States is pledged, or bonds of this state, or of any city, county, town, or village of this state, or bonds of any city or county in the New Eng land states, or states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, or Minnesota, issued pursu ant to the authority of any law of such state; provided, the entire bonded in debtedness of such city or county shall not exceed 5 per cent of the assessed value of the taxable property therein as shown by the last assessment preceding the investment or they shall deposit mortgage bonds of railroad company of approved credit located in any of the states aforesaid, which has paid divi dends of not less than 5 per cent per annum regularly on its entire capital stock for not less than five consecutive years next preceding such investment, and which are first lien upon the rail road pledged to secure the same, or they shall deposit bond and mortgage, or un incumbered real estate located in any of the states aforesaid worth at least twice the amount loaned thereon, but not more than 90 per cent of the whole amount of the security to be given shall be invested in real estate outside of the state of Illinois. The bonds, or bond, or mortgages thus deposited must be equal in value to the capital stock of the asso ciation or corporation. Soke one has said that if the lowly Nazarene was now to appear on earth at the churches bearing his name, he would not be very gladly received by a large proportion of them. Having some such thought in mind, doubtless, the editor of the New York Press "has sent a young lady reporter, very poorly, but decently clad, to various churches for a few Sun days past, to see whether poor people are welcome or not in such places. The story of the reporter is printed, and is to the effect that out of eleven fashionable churches visited she was cordially wel comed at four, tolerated, but rather coldly treated at two, given good seats at three, though regarded with apparent curiosity, and told that there were no seats at two. She was the only poorly dressed person visible at any of the churches." So reads the telegram. Pos sibly there are those who attend church, who give more thought to the outward than to the inward graces, but people, in these days, are averse to appearing very differently from the average good citizen. Oddity in character, manner or dress attracts attention, and the ma jority of modest people, are so opposed to attracting attention to themselves that they prefer to be absent (even from the churches) if they cannot, afford to keep up with the prevalent fashions. Apparel need not be very costly, but if neat and clean, we venture to say that the well-meaning visitor will be gladly welcomed in most, if not all, the churches in the land. In our age "true religion and undefiled" is better exem plified than ever before. In no age of the civilized world has so much atten tion been given, and very, generously given, too, to the weak, the infirm of body or mind, the world's unfortunate people. The spirit of intelligent help fulness is in the times in which we live, and more and more manifest, even through the hard crust of human greed and selfishness. The world owes much more than is sometimes credited to in dividual men and women who have de voted much or all of their time, talents and energies to serving the age in which they live by obeying the finer impulses of their natures and subjecting them selves to the living spirit of truth and good will which governs all good people.

SEBWw aaaBAaaaMaal Baa1a(artSm7aBtaas4 the Pasty Clerk's Fas Bask A special to the Bee speaks thus of the affairs of Nance county's clerk The statute provides that the clerk shall keep a fee book in which ahall be recorded all fees, received; and all aWBaa in excess of flper year shall be paid into the county treasury. The invwsti gstion disclosed the fact that during Shumaker's administration leas than $100 a year was recorded in the fee book, white the records for the first year, 1886, give $2,069.90, and for 1887, $1,818. 3& Consequently $848.75 seems to be unaccounted for, and the tax payers are interested to know where it has gone. In the light of these, and the Indian school developments, it is safe to say that "reform" is not very popular in this section just at present. The investiga tion at the school is progressing slowly, and will probably consume several weeks. Patents Granted To citizens of Nebraska during the past week, and reported for this paper by C. A. Snow & Co, patent lawyers, opposite U. & Patent office, Washington, D. CL N. H. Barnes, Wahoo, heating drum or radiator; O. Baughn, Tobias, potato planter; J. Gilbert, Omaha, furnace; J. F. Thomas, Alexandria, vehicle side spring. NEBRASKA VOTES. Dr. Kirby, of Boone, Bl, was arrested at Long Pine, Neb., on a charge of bigamy. A family named Finley at Hastings were nearly poisoned to death by eating canned plums. A large glue factory is to be located at South Omaha to utilize the hoofs and horns of the animals slaughtered there. W. H. Greenalit of Superior, enters the lists against Dr. Billings's theory and practice of inoculation against hog cholera. Mrs. Smith of Blue Springs, gained a verdict of $2,000 against Paffenbarger, for selling liquor to her husband which caused his death. Citizens of Hastings have raised by subscription over $9,000 to bore for gas orcoaL It is said that $20,000 will be raised before the work commences. At a gravel pit near Norfolk, Wm. Jackson, aged seventeen, was crushed to death by several tons of gravel and dirt falling upon him. His father had a very narrow escape from death at the same time. Catherine McEenna has sued Chas. Stortz, a saloon keeper of Omaha for $5,000 damages under the Slocumb law, for loss of support by her husband, who, she says, spent his time and money in Stortz's saloon. Ole Anderson, of Long Pine, a former resident of Platte county, has been taken to the penitentiary for life, the former sentence to death, for killing his wife, having been changed. Anderson killed his wife and threw her into a well. Charles Hunting and his son Edward, farmers, living near Loup City, the other cold night were badly frozen. The son died, and the father will be a cripple if he should survive. It did not appear to be very cold that night, only 10 below zero. Constable J. E. Case, of Syracuse, ar rested the other morning George Handy and Charles Wayne. Upon further in vestigation it turned out that the men had stolen two horses from Gen. Van Wyck, valued at about two hundred and fifty dollars. The men were promptly placed in jail. Gov. Thayer received a draft the other day from Gen. W. B. Franklin, president of the national soldiers' home, for $1, 050.56. This is the first payment made by the government for the maintenance of the state soldiers' home, at the rate of $100 per capita per annum. The Governor paid over the amount to the state treasurer. Henry Flowers, a colored rake and hotel porter at Kearney (Kelly's hotel), who insulted one of the dining-room girls, picked a quarrel with her lover, J. W. Griffiths by striking him a blow behind the ear that staggered him. G. pulled a revolver shooting the negro rake, from the effects of which he died the next day Feb. 26. S. C. Bassett of Gibbon, in a lengthy communication in the State Journal, states that in Buffalo county, thus far, inoculation has proved a success. He gives names of fanners who have tried inoculation for their herds, and says that all have expressed themselves as satisfied with the result and as willing and anx ious to continue the experiment. A WEEK IN CHICAGO. Its Incidents sad Happenings. VI THUBSDAT. After all our visits being paid to the large and wealthy institutions amongst luxury and grandeur, encountering as we have the blue-blooded aristocrats and fortune favored fashionable, we have almost forgotten that Chicago is full of misery, suffering and want. As there are but two days more of sight-seeing, surely it would be well to spend this one in visiting those public homes that Chicago has established for the care of her poor and needy. There are so many of such places that we must see only one or two. We will go first to the "Home for the Friendless" for women and children, which is situated on the corner of Wa bash avenue and 19th streets. Nothing short of two lines of cars will take us away out there and the morning is pretty cold, but still that cannot hinder us, for after the cold ride on the North side cable we shall encounter the more genial atmosphere of the South side line. Oh, what a delightful difference! Almost frozen, we change from the cold refrig erator to the other cable and find a warm fire burning under the aeat and a hot iron pipe diffusing the hot air to cheer our frost-bitten marrow. At the door of the institution we are met by a bright little boy who ushers us into the recep tion rooBxand hurries to summon the matron. She being otherwise engaged the gist ant a very charming lady enters the room and very pleasantly offers to show us around this institution, in which there are 150 rooms. Then be gins a tour of inspection, down this side and up that, through one room and into another, and after seeing the parlor, school-room, the various offices and chapel rooms on tins floor, we are taken down a flight of stairs to the floor below, where are the dining-rooms, kitchen, baking and drying rooms, clothes closets and various store-rooms, everywhere en countering the most destitute and pitiful creatures who are inmates here at the mercy of charity. There is a daily at tendance of about 178 throughout the year who must be housed, clothed, fed ana educated, mainly by contribution. Than is a fund placed at tha disposal of tha "Hoaae," the interest of wttekhelps along tka good work greatly, tafatm does not begin to meet arpenees. And it is a commendable fact that the names of- the home's directors and supporters include those of many of sooietyVmost ardent devotees who nevertheless find time and inclination for such work as this. Large ozonations are frequently received from the wealthier firms in the city who send money or packages con taining liberal supplies of utility end servioe. The inmates are all taught to work and sew, besides the sehooungthey receive. The course of study is the same as in the grammar school and after grad uating from this their education is as complete. Chapel exercises are held night and morning, and in tine homeall the worthy are welcome, irrespective of creed or nationality. It is not in the nature of a hospital but is, as its name signifies, a home where tile poor and friendless may find a shelter until such time as they can get employment, or, if children, they are cared for till they are old enough to help themselves, or, as very often happens, they are adopted into good and often luxurious homes. Our pleasant, affable guide astonishes us by saying that it requires 70 loaves of bread a day to feed this family. A large play-room with swings and turning-poles lures the "small boy," and a miscella neous set it is, too. There are the smart and the dull, the good and the bad, all playing together, perfectly happy and seemingly unconscious of their depend ant position. The nursery and dormito ries are upon the third floor and as we enter one large, sunny room the matron explains that this is the room especially set aside for the old ladies, and a truly touching scene it is to see some haft dozen very old white-haired ladies sit ting about knitting or mending, all seemingly cheerful, and yet we know there is not one but could tell the story of a sad life, of disappointed hopes, per haps the ingratitude of loveless children, which has cast them.in their latter days in the attitude of paupers. Coming out' and closing the door we try to shut out even the memory of so pathetic a spec tacle. Our attention is next drawn to the nursery pretty, sunshiny rooms where the little ones are creeping about upon the floor, lisping their childish prattle; and iust across the hall is the room where the tiny infants are placed; here, only a few feet from where the okL old ladies are, whose footsteps totter upon roe very verge of tne grave, we find the ones to whom life is just opening, with all its burden of bitter and sweet. Pray that they may not close the life as it has opened, in a public charity. There are in all about 25 babies under three years of age, but a great many more of the older ones. The quarantine is at the furthest end of this long hall where all patients having contagious dinoonco are kept. AU inmates, upon entering the home, are placed in quarantine for two weeks before they are permitted to mingle with the others, and a marked improvement has been noticed in regard to the sanitary condition since this was established. The expenses at this insti tution average a little over $18,000 a year, which of course includes salaries of all employed by the "Home," of which there are twenty-two, as well as fueL dry goods, supplies, groceries and re pairs. "The uirls' Industrial," also a "Temperance Union" are carried on in connection with the "Home," but we have yet one more such place to visit so we must hurry away, after thanking the kind young lady who escorted us about, whose cheerfulness in doing so and ex plaining all the details, is much to be wondered at when she tells us that in one month there were by actual count 1245 calls at the place. These same de tails must be told to all and the same things gone over with. The building is steam-heated, and a very even tempera ture is maintained throughout, ana the keen air is unusually biting as we wait again for the cable. We are back again into the city and having alighted from the car, are just passing the property, the sale of which has caused so great a sensation. It is a small sized lot, only 20 feet front and 40 feet deep, located at the northwest cor ner of Dearborn and Madison streets, which has lately changed hands at a consideration of $150,000. This is at the rate of $187.50 each square foofor $L90 each inch, or again, in the term of acres would amount to $8,168,000 an- acre. Experts say this is the highest price ever paia tor any real estate ouuiae oi a district in the business portion of New York city. The history of this lot shows that in lool it was sold to Tolman Wheeler for $18, then passed to a Mr. Daniels in 1871 for $42,500, and at this date Mr. Daniels is the happy recipient of the snug fortune of $150,000 for the same identical ground. To give one some idea, it would take a carpet of $20 bills and a second layer of $10 bills cov ering the entire 20x40 ft. to pay the vaiue. a. TODBcco ana cigar store nas occupied this site since the fire, but it is now purposed to erect upon it one of those buildings commonly known as "sky-scrapers," to be used entirely for offices. A consoling fact is that our next ride upon this car will be a short one as we shall get off at Superior street and make a hurried tour (as the time is late), through the home located on the corner of that street and La Salle avenue. This is only for babies and children under six years of age, which fact asserts itself as the door is opened for us and the mingled cries and laughter of all the little ones greet our ears. The build ing is four stories high, recently built, and all the rooms are large and commo dious, courting the sunshine, which en ters from the many large windows. It is a Catholic institution, but babies of all denomfnations are welcome, their keeping being paid for if parents are able; if not, they are none the less well cared for. The furniture throughout is plain, but everything is so spotlessly clean and neat that one marvels at it. The good sisters are hurrying here and there, first to one crib then to another, watching their little charges and carry ing sunshine wherever they go. The play rooms and kindergartens are all places of interest, but we shall hardly be able to do them justice. Two nurseries are here one for those who have attain ed the use of their feet, the other for the cherubs whose whole world is the crib. This home, like the other, is maintained largely by contribution, and a noble, generous work it is that the Sisters of Charity have undertaken; not only un dertaken, but carried to a great suooeas, as it has been some eight years sinoe it was first founded in a little frame build ing which was occupied until the present quarters were completed two years' ago. Before we leave, let us slip something into tne gooa outers nana w seep on in the worthy enterprise and help, in a measure, to feed and clothe the poor little things who. without parents or such that they are little better than none, have been thrown out upon the pitiless world to be rescued and tenderly cherished by just such good christians as these. Nkuub V. HcmrncAK. RECOLLECTIONS OF AN OLD SETTLER. BYCTOOaUB. "Then I tamed and lifted im mine eyes and beheld firing roK."-Zachariah yA About 1860 there arrived in Platte county a company of five or six families who went by the designation of "Glad denites." Their leader was an old man probably sixty-five years old, tall, straignt, witn long suver nair and a sanctimonious expression of countenance whose name was Francis Gladden Bishop. According to reports his mother was a religious enthusiast, and previously to his birth had predicted that she would bear a son who would soma day gladden the hearts of the people, and would be the lying roll which Zachariah saw with his prophetic eye. Imbued with relkr- ious fanaticism from bis cradle he grew up and meeting with Joseph Smith, at an early period after his assuming the role of a prophet, ha embraced his 'doc trines and was chosen aa one of his twelve apostles. After tha death of Smith, he, in common with tha rest of those apostles, considered hiaatett aa the proper suooassor of tha prophet, but aa organisation and a ecutive ability pos sessed by Brigham Young they were disappointed, and the moat of them be eaame disgruntled, seceded and unaao cessfully attempted to draw the church to themselves, After the exodus from Nauvoo wa next hear of him in western Iowa with a small band of followers, having deotiaed to follow Brigham Young into the wilderness. His follow ers were mostly imbeciles, tha halt and the lame, and for some reason finding it desirable to leave Iowa, at the time men tioned arrived in the western part of Platte county, for the purpose of making a settlement and trying to gather con verts from what remained of the Genoa colony, and also doing missionary work and making proselytes among the MLa manites," which was Bishop's pet name for the Indiana. His efforts were en tirely unsuccessful as to the Genoa colony, and although a few Pawnees were baptized, the appeals that were made to them through their stomachs were so meager that they succeeded in but few instances in overcoming the natural repugnance of those people against the external application of water, especially to the extent of complete sub mersion in unfavorable weather. They made a claim on the Tinnlringglann about three or four miles from Oconee, and built their houses along the creek, one of which was their place of worship. It wss a long low cabin with a dirt roof, a door made of puncheons, latch string hanging out and devoid of glass win dows, but with a long narrow opening on the front side, which was closed by a board. They were communists in prac tice, nnd. had everything in common; this last assertion is to be construed in the broadest sense-possible. They re mained there about three years cultiva ting the sandy spot on which they had settled and as they polled from twelve to fifteen votes were an important factor in the elections of those days. At last dissensions arose among themselves and dissatisfaction with their leader, unsav ory reports in regard to the orgies which were a part of their Sunday exercises in the windowless church came to the ears of the outside world, and created such disgust that their condition became un pleasant to them and their presence ob noxious to the settlers and the process of disintegration began, some going east and some west, snd the flying roll start ed on his flight to Colorado, attended by a few of his staunchest Bupporters,where he remained until his death, which oc curred, in a year or two afterward.
