WEDNESDAY. MARCH ft. 1888.
It was a great day at Washington.
United States man-of-war Monon

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.

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.

The statute provides that the clerk
shall keep a fee book in which ahall be

in excess of flper year shall be paid

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.

unaccounted for, and the tax payers are
interested to know where it has gone.
In the light of these, and the Indian

that "reform" is not very popular in this
section just at present. The investiga

and will probably consume several

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.

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.
