Riwun is interested over the dis- oovery, forty miles south of that place, of a seven-foot vein of fine coking coal. It is said by experts to be equal to the best Pennsylvania coal. 'It is understood that the president will not leave Washington before April 19, when he goes to New York to attend the centennial celebration. A eepoet was in circulation Wednes day that ex-President Cleveland had been shot by a Pullman car porter while journeying from Philadelphia to New York. There was no truth, of course, in the rumor. FiHAXXiTlhere is an improvement in sleeping cars, the aisles being at the aides and the sleeping apartments in the middle of the car, having all the privacy of a room at a hotel or dwelling-house. Adah C Tanner, of Canton, (X, has been appointed chief of the appointment division of the interior department, and Charles Maull, of Delaware, and J. B. Sattertoe, of Iowa, have been appointed special agents of the general land office. The Sioux commission, it is under stood wiU consist of William Warner, of Missouri; Charles Fisher, of Ohio; John B.

Beports agree on the time and that a dynamite bomb exploded within the imperial pal ace at Gotacfaina and that the Czar and saoamceroTthe grounds were wounded. These is a scheme on foot to get enough men favorable to the project of annexation to settle in Lower California, create a motion with the Mexican gov ernment, and repeat the history of Texas. It is said that influential men in California have lately been approached to go into the scheme, but have declined on the theory that the revolutionary business there has become very risky. Tax Indiana man is getting pretty smart The 'way-down-east Yankee was formerly considered the smartest man around, but he will have to give place to the man from "In-yander." Four Hoo siers with a big balloon are biding their time, and propose early on the day set for the opening of Oklahoma lands for settlement to ascend and be above their land so as to be "there" before anyone toe and gobble up what they want. It is high time .that the United States provide itself with a dwelling-house for its presidents fit for occupancy, and at toast .wholesome and comfortable as a dwelling. The old rattle trap should be torn down and carted off, and a new building putjnto its place free from the objections against the old one, and such that its inmates, whoever they may be, will not be subject to the foul atmos phere that has long made the White House a dangerous" place to live.

Address 1 ux Pab, Co., Washington, D. a The rejection of Murat Halstead by the democrats and a half a dozen repub licans in the senate has called attention to the ease of Senator Payne and the cir ouasatancesthat attended his election, in geod time.

The steam passes into the engine to be operated, whence it is carried into an electric dynamo, which supplies the electricity for heating the water, and them theexhanst is delivered back into the generator, so that there is no waste. In starting the machine some extraneous bent is neoeasary to put the dynamo in aaotion. Thedrnamosapplies theetoo trioity, which heats the water and makes team; the steam runs any engine to which the generator may be attached. After serving the engine the steam passes into the dynamo, which -it also operates and the exhaust is then, by means of a very ingenious and original morhanifl device, forced back into the generator so tnat no steam is wascea. Thus there is no smoke, no exhaust, no noise. The machine is self-operating, self-acting and self-regulating. It con sumes no fuel, and after once 'being started in operation, runs itself until its parte are worn out. SOETH OMAHA NEWS. The Nebraska live Stock Shiner. President John A Kehoe, of Platte Center, Vice Presidents James Danley, of Ashland, and David Anderson, of South Omaha, and Secretary John Wig gins, of Columbus, were present at the regular quarterly meeting of the Ne braska Live Stock Shippers association yesterday afternoon, at the Exchange. Messrs. R A Heaton, of Weston, George Thrush, of Sogers, and J. N. Mills, of Neligh, were admitted to membership. The habits of commission men in send ing out buyers were severely censured by different members and the sentiment was decidedly opposed to it A case was cited where a representative of one of the South Omaha commission firms had gone to a farmer and purchased a lot of cattle after the same cattle had been contracted to a regular shipper, and only got the lot by paying a fancy price. A committee of three was appointed to in vestigate the cause of these complaints. Adjourned to meet Wednesday, July 10, at the Capital hotel, Lincoln. Bee. Cattle. The receipts of cattle were much smaller than was generally expected about 900 head here as compared with 2,463 head Saturday and 1,264 head on last Monday. The feeling improved con siderably over that of the past few days and values strengthened accordingly on all desirable cattle. The market opened quite early and as both the local and shipping demand was good prices on beef and shipping steers took an up turn of strong to 510 cents. Good butchers stock has varied but slightly in prices during the last few days as has also prime little and medium weight steers. Trading was brisk and the bulk of the receipts sold before noon. Salesmen differed considerably in their views, but coincided generally with the report giv en above on steers. Common coarse lots of butchers cattle is but little, if any, stronger, yet owing to the moderate re ceipts the pens were well cleared of all grades. South Omaha Drovers Jour nal, April 15. EXCITEMENT IN SHIPPING CIRCLES. An Ahaatoaei Iaualgnat Steamer Sighted inMM-Oeeu. The greatest excitement prevailed in shipping circles in New York Friday. Early in the morning a cable dispatch from London to the Maritime exchange said that the Inman line steamer City of Chester, which arrived at Liverpool from New York late Thursday night had re ported passing, abandoned in midocean, on the 8th inst, Thingualk line steamer Denmark, bound from Christiansand, Norway, for New York. The Thingualk line is probably the largest immigrant carrying line that plies between this port and Europe. The Denmarkhad on board when she left Christiansand for 'New York, on March 26th, six hundred and fifty passengers, presumably all immi grants. Including the vessel's captain, R. N. Kundsen, the crew numbered forty men. Oklahoma. The settlement of this tract of country will probably be accompanied by a shower of blood, else all signs fail. A hundred thousand men supplied, not with farming utensils, but with shooting irons, and excited over possession and title to land, is not a combination likely to continue long without bloodshed. Indeed the telegraph brings us partic ulars of the first patter of the rain, in which one man was killed and another seriously wounded. The soldiery will do exceedingly well if they can preserve the peace, even "a little bit." What makes the situation more critical is that there are only two land offices where entries can be made. The rush to the territory is unprecedented in the history of the settlements of all this country, since settlements began to be made west of the Ohio. Scarlet Fever EsMeatic The town of Fairburg, Til,, is quaran tined on account of the scarlet fever. There are more than twenty cases of the discaso in the little town and six deaths have occurred in the past few days. No religious seavices are held, the Sunday schools have been adjourned and the publio schools have been dosed. The families in which the disease prevails are not permitted to leave their homes and provisions are furnished them by a com mittee appointed by the town. The scarlet fever has visited a number of small towns in the vicinity this spring and the way it is spreading in Fairburg has given the people great alarm. Aebob Day, Monday, April 23d, prom ises to be observed with more than interest The governor in his ays: MPeoplein allageeof the world have appreciated the value and the advanta ges of trass and the planting of them is an evidence of culture and refinement It exerts a purifying influenoe and it shows how ready nature is to assist us in extending such influences.

The robbers ransacked the house, se curing $40 in money and a gold watch. A teaodt occurred a few days ago m the western part of Oklahoma between two men from Kiowa, Xa, and two men from Texas, for possession of a claim. Guns were freely used and one of the Kiowa men killed and a Texan mortally wounded. The other two called a truoe, and placing the wounded man. on a wagon started for a neighboring ranch. Before they reached it the fight was re newed, and the entire party was discov ered later, by some cowboys, stretched out on the prairie. The cowboys took the one who was dead and the three wounded to the nearest stage station. Satubdat an attempt was made to wreck a passenger, train on the Cleve land, Lorain k Wheeling road, near Tippecanoe, Ohio. A heavy log chain was wrapped around the rails and three or four cross-ties were piled over the rails. The express train passed over the chain in safety and came to a stop be fore reaching the ties. Suspicion rests on a man recently ejected from a train by the conductor of this train, and who threatened to kill the conductor. T,vwt Cot is somewhat" surprised because on the conviction of Oscar Pal merston for burglary, it came out in the evidence that one of the principal sa loons of Laramie has been the'' head quarters of a gang of desperate thieves and burglars. The evidence showed that Ed. Allen, the proprietor, has main tained a fence for burglars, whose raids on stores and residences have been fre quent during the past two years. Fbakk Walter, a citizen of Omaha, died Sunday, of consumption. He was 50 years old. He leaves considerable property in Omaha and Lincoln.

R Stout For the ensuing year at least Nance county will be without a saloon. Nance County Sentinel. Mr. Nelson, a citizen of Omaha, last week fell into hk cistern in his own door yard and was drowned. Saloonkeepers and bar tenders are yet eligible to membership in the order of Knights of Pythias in Nebraska. A company at Hastings with a paid-up capital of $15,000 will commence boring this week for oil, salt or natural gas. A farmer living near Winchester in the northwestern part of Chase county was knocked senseless and robbed of $50 one night last week. A large attendance from all parts of the state was present at the session of the Omaha Presbytery of the United' Presbyterian church. J. C. McBride has been appointed by Gov. Thayer a member of the fish com mission for Nebraska. He will assume the duties of the office at once. Mayor Kretzinger of Beatrice has recommended to the council increasing saloon license $1,000, making $1,000 for license and $1,000 for occupation tax. Harry Persons of Merrick county was fined $50 last week for setting a prairie fire that burned up considerable property belonging to C L. Tidd and others, two weeks ago. The Gothenburg Boiler Mills company has been organized with a capital stock of $30,000 and have about completed arrangements to erect a fifty-barrel flouring milL Knud Nelson, an old citizen of Omaha, during a fit of dizziness, fell into his cistern and was so injured that he died in a very few minutes after his removal from the cistern. Patrick She3, the Atkinson murderer, was on April 11th, sentenced to ten years at hard labor in the penitentiary, the jury finding him guilty of murder in the second degree. MraMbrriSjWife of a cooper at Nebras ka City attempted suicide last week by taking poison because her husband was about to leave her. The stomach pump prevented her death. Last week,8oddentally,Elli8Waldron, living near Central City, shot his son, the charge nearly tearing the boy's arm from his shoulder. Before medical aid could reach him he bled to death. A little bit of scandal at the village of Stella came to light last week, involving a servant girl and a business man of the village. It may not be very reliable, but a little time may place a better face upon the scandal. The body of Henry Herweg, late post master of Dakota City, Neb has not yet been found although diligent search has been made. The only hope now is that it may appear later as a "floater" further down the river. Gen. Edward Hatch, who was so badly hurt by being thrown from his carriage nearly a month ago, sustaining a frac ture of the hip bone, died suddenly at FtBohinson, on the morning of the 11th. In hk death the army loses a most gal lant officer, of splendid war record. There is a fatal disease among the horses of Washington county. The ani mate attacked loore the ure of their hind toga and finally become helpless and soon die. It is evidently a spinal disease resultinff in partial paralysis.

TheBecord says that it seems to be understood that they are about through with Ihe work of the tret treasurer, but with what result or when they are to report no one seems able to find out There is growing feeling in the state that general overhauling of all the offices would not be amiss; coun ty treasurers are, by no means, the only officials who sometimes act contrary to law and to the injury of the public The excitement over several alleged cases of hydrophobia near Percival con tinues. Ed. Keyser, son of a farmer, is reported to have a clear case of the rabies. He had a cut on his hand and while doctoring a horse which had been bitten by a mad dog he accidentally got some of the froth in the sore. His arm is swollen to twioe its natural size and he is said to be suffering with every in dication of hydrophobia. He has been taken east to try the efficacy of a 'mad stone. So says a dispatch from Nebras ka City. The jury in the case of the State vs. SkUlman, on trial for the murder of J. M. Williams, the seducer of his sister, after eight hours' deliberation, returned a verdict Saturday of not guilty. Hun dreds of the best citizens surrounded young Skillman and congratulated" him upon his acquittal. During the trial Shfllman has shown no signs of emotion, but on the announcement of the verdict he grasped Church Howe by the hand, and bursting into tears, repeatedly thanked him for the interest he had tak en in his behalf. The meeting between the boy and his mother and sisters waa most affecting, bring tears to the eyes of men and omen who witnessed it Washlsgtoa Letter. From oar regular correapoadeat. , President Harrison is a sick man. Not yet dangerously so, but the present breaking down cannot much longer con tinue before that point will be reached. Everybody can see it, and at last Gen. Harrison himself has realized that his strength is slowly but surely slipping away from him, and that something must be done to get some rest Every thing has been tried to stop the pressure on him, but it is still there. Set hours does very well to keep out the small fry, but so long as he remains in the White House the president cannot re fuse to see members of bis cabinet, sen ators and party leaders, and they are the men who, by their importunities, are slowly killing him. To those who see the president every day little change is perceptible, but he does not look like the same man who came to Washington a few days before the inauguration. A personal friend of his who saw him on Saturday for the first time since February assured t me that he was dreadfully shocked and alarmed by bis appearance and that he told Gen. Harrison that he must take a few days rest, absolute rest This he promised to da He will probably take a steamer and go down the Potomac to Chesapeake bay, remaining away from Washington three or four days. The American commissioners to the Samoen conference at Berlin are in daily consultation with Secretary Blaine. They sailed from New York on the 13th. A good part of last week was given by the president to the selection of Federal officials for New York city. Only two of them have yet been decided upon Er- hard, to be oolleotor of customs and VanCott to be postmaster, but the gen eral satisfaction with which these two appointments have been received "by New York republicans here proves that Gen. Harrison still preserves the happy faculty of being able to select men to fill the offices that are acceptable to all branches of the party. It is this faculty that has up to the present time silenced all criticism in the party. The members of the cabinet have found it necessary, in order to get any time to devote to the affairs of their sev eral departments, to adopt the following rules as to the reception of visitors: Senators and representatives will be re ceived every day from 10 to 12 o'clock. Private citizens will be received daily at 12 o'clock, except Tuesdays and Fridays, which are the days for the regular cabi net meetings. Ex-Gov. Alger, of Michigan, is here for a few days. In response to an' in quiry he said: "I am not here to Hiannaa politics. Up in Michigan the people are letting the administration alone. The logs are coming down the streams, navi gation is open on the lakes, the ice is out of the straits, the wheat is look ing finely and business is booming. What more can you ask? I was over in New York and felt lonely, so I came down here to see some friends." j Although the senate adjourned last Tuesday most of the republican 'mem bers are still here trying to get some thing for their constituents. Somebody asked Bepresentative Can non, of Illinois, when he was going home. His reply was, w as soon as every post offioe in my district is presided over by a good republican.'' Ohio republicans seem to be getting tired of waiting for their share of offices. So far that state has only received the second assistant postmaster general and a division superintendent of the railway mail service. Bepresentative Butter- worth, who has visited the White House almost every day since the 4th of March, says the reason Ohio has gotten so few appointments is that she has so many good men that the president to unable to decide between them, and therefore he has passed the appointments on to some other-state that has not quite so many prominent men of equal merits. Said a republican senator yesterday: "When you hear anybody talking about what Harrison? policy will be, on any subject, put him down as a fraud or an ignoramus. Harrison has no pohey. His decades everytnmg just as it coast up, on its merns, ana tnas is way ne no mistakes. It is only a Euad-1 ed man who sets up policy to it like everything separately and to gov U the settlement of eachosseby the nartieular ekcuuMtanoes surround is it" i'Bssigned to sntsr private bnsjnasa totheehoruaef the deusooratto chiefs of iHitoioiiB In the deuartmeati they are daily stepping out to room for republicans. It is, of oourse, superfluous to inform the public that this sudden desire to enter private busi ness usually follows a coufiedutial talk withtheheadof the department "Re signed,'' sounds betterthan discharged'' you know, and of oourse when man re oitoe to enter private business his 1 entirely voluntary. "Written for Tub Jocmsku Relhries. There is peace which the work! knows not "the peace of God which paaseth all understanding.'' Itoanmake as happy under all circumstances of life; in adversity as' well as in prosperity; in sickness as well as in health; and even when great worldly sorrows come upon as with their appalling weight, their re morseless power. If we acoept of God's promises in all their fullness and free ness,and try to submit our will to His, relying upon the promised aid of the Holy Spirit, desiring to know our whole duty as ' christian, in all the relations of life, and strive to do it, God will give as strength to bear all burdens, the heaviest aa well as the lightest i Jrue religion can make us rejoice alwayaTand will not tot us rush toward heaven on Sunday and then let run us toward the world all the rest of the week. And we should bear in mind that the every day life of a christian, if it is what it should be, has more influenoe, and more power for the conversion of others than the most eloquent preaching. Christ said, "let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glo rify your Father which is in heaven." Does our light shine every day in the week, so those around us can see it at all times? In giving advice to a young friend Thomas Jefferson said, "adore God, reverence and cherish your parents, love your neighbor aa yourself, and your country more than life; be just, be true, murmur not at the ways of Providence, and the life into which you have entered will bo the passage to one of eternal and ineffable bliss." Compared with relig ion, all earthly treasures are worthless. On his death bed Patrick Henry said to his children, "If I could will to you the christian religion, how gladly would I do so, for with this, and without any earthly possession you would be infinite ly rich: without it and with all else that the heart can wish, you would be miser ably poor."
