' Shocks of earthquake Saturday morn ing 1:50, at St Louis, also Cairo and Jacksonville, 111. No damage. Houses were shaken and windows rattled. An examination into the county records must now be held. It cannot be much longer delayed; the people, tax payers, are aroused to the importance of it ' Edward Spezxuan, a prominent dis tiller, and district delegate of the Clan-ne-Gael, who was wanted in Chicago as a witness in the Dr. Cronin murder trial, is not to be found. President Harrison's proclamation admitting the twin Dakotas was issued Saturday. An article on prohibition ubmitted aeparately to the people in each state was adopted by both. The loss of Armonr A'Co. at Kansas City last week by fire was $110,000, folly insuredT It is thought that a negro who was asleep in the building at the time the fire started, perished in the flames. Ik the Dr. Cronin murder case a large number of witnesses on the part of the state had been examined lost week. The body of the murdered man had been very well identified, as well as the horse and buggy and man who drove him away the evening of the murder. A comiUNicATiON was received last week at Chicago from the authorities at Bethand, CoL, stating that a stylishly dressed young woman had been arrested, wko turned out to be a man, who gave the name of Philo Boland. At Bethand they think he may. be Taseot't Gen. Manderson is at his home at Omaha, returning from Washington Monday morning. He says the speaker ship contest is the most absorbing sub ject at Washington; Seed of Maine and McKinlay of Ohio are in the lead, with Burrows of Michigan, Cannon of Illi nois and Henderson as possibilities. Thomas McCauseland, at McCauee land Station, on the line of the Milwau kee road, in Scott county, la., was shot one night last week by one of two burg lars who had entered his house. The ball took effect in the region of Me Cauaeland's heart and almost instantly caused his death. The burglars were captured. It baa bean objected that an expert examiaation of the county records would cost a great deal of money. We undertake to aay that twenty-five dollars worth will be worth to the county $3,000. Why not invest a little aaoaey that way? We take it for grant d that the voice of the people will be ao decided by the time the new board gets organized that there will be no question exeept as to how the examina tion ia to be made. Ore of the oddest cases on record has lately been occupying a justice's court at La Crosse, Wis. An elderly German with a young wife was the plaintiff. A yewag man of the neighborhood sought to pusaaik the youthful wife that her fcband waa too old for her, and prom ised to spend 100 saarka in the purchase mt prayers for his death in case she would take up with him afterward. Her kuawaafl lesaoawtrsted and was hustled. Ha aajad for prospective aBd implied from the adverse prayers and t from the assault After ly witnesses the court fixed t to carry the costs, and the young asaa promises not to pay for Goods. The Joanutf'fl Bagabeo. In a heavy attempt to besmirch the skirts of John Stauffer, The Journal juggles with the law and figures tn the case of the clerk's pay for making the tax list The significant paragraph in that scurrilous article is to the effect that the sums received by Mr. Stauffer for this work were in excess of the sal ary limit of $1,500 per annum. Anyone familiar with the law and the decisions of the supreme court relative to fees for making the tax list by the county clerk, beginning with decisions of said court, 9th Neb., and subsequent decisions and statutory enactments relative thereto, can readily see and understand that the article in The Journal is not the law governing the case. The clerk is not required to enter fees received lor mak ing tax list in fee book. The reason of this is the fact that it costs the clerk aa much or more to make the list than he receives for it In the present ease Mr. Stauffer his been compelled to pay for making said list in the majority of years. out of his own pocket, and it costs more than he is allowed lor it. wnere, uien, is the sense and justice in the kind of twaddle in The Journal? It requires competent workmen to make a tax list and competent workmen demand good Say. The work is all that one man can o in a year. The Journal's own fig ures show that the average paid for makinsr a list is only $350 a year. What competent man will work a year for $350? Atram. do the taxpayers of Flatte county wish John Stauffer to pay for the making of their tax list out of his own pocket entirely, as he has partially done for years? We think not They hardly ex pect labor for nothing. Above we quote a short editorial from the Telegram, "The Journal's Buga goo,n intended as a bumper for an arti cle in last week's Journal concerning County Clerk Stauffer's fees for making out tax-lists between the years 1879 and 1887. We print it to show how lame a defence can be and no better can be made. The statutes and the decisions of the courts are what we gave them last week, and the Telegram's frantic efforts to make light of our presentation of them will not deceive those who know the facts. The dollars withheld from the treasury are not "bugaboos," at alL Lay not the "flattering unction to your soul" that this is mere electioneering talk, either. It is one of those "ghosts" that will not "down at your bidding." The people are now so thoroughly arous ed concerning this matter that a com plete overhauling must be had. We write this before election, and believe that no matter whether Stauffer is elected treasurer or not the examination must be made. It is a burning disgrace that the pa triots who conquered the peace of 1865 have not yet been able, after the lapse of twenty-four years,to secure or help to secure the freedom of the ballot to their compatriots of the south. American citizens in every part of the world out side of the United States are safe, when they behave themselves. It is not so within our own borders, but it ought to be at least as true at home, as it is abroad. The protecting power of the nation should mean a very great deal more than it now does in some of the states which were in rebellion. Doubt less there will come a time when no state will dare do what these states are doing now and have been doing for years. God speed the day. These words have been 'suggested by-the following from the Schuyler Sun, whose senti ments will find an echo in every patriot's heart: "It is a sad commentary on the state of laws in our country that twenty four years after the war has closed, that the candidates on the republican state ticket in Mississippi are compelled to withdraw for fear of intimidation. But such is the case and the status of affairs in that state today. The whole republican ticket withdrew from the field as they plainly saw they were to be allowed no show at the polls by the bull dozers and assassins who, year after year, prevented a free ballot and a fair count at the point of the shotgun. The general government has no right to al low any such proceedings and should put a stop to it if the bayonet had to be the resort to accomplish the desired end." The east sometimes has a notion that the west is almost destitute of fruit The west sometimes thinks that more fruit than we have would be very desira ble. As the years go by, and raw land becomes thoroughly cultivated and the right men buy the right sort of fruit trees and properly plant and care for them, it is being demonstrated all over this western world that fruit can be raised in great abundance. The writer can remember bearing (when a boy) in an eastern state, men who had returned from prospecting tours into Iowa, say that they didnt care to buy land there timber waa too scarce, and they didnt think they would ever be able to raise fruit A Council Bluffs paper of recent date says: "One who is thoroughly conversant with fruit culture in this and adjacent counties is. authority for the estimate that SCMJ00 bushels of apples have been barrelled at Hamburg and saippsd in every -direction; 80,000 bushels at Mal- 8 Consisting of 9 yards, plain and fancy material, 44 inches wide, for $3.29, including buttons to match, worth double. - "''"- J- i .'( 1 1 Consisting of8i yards, plain and fancy material, strictly all wool and 42 inches wide, for $3.49, including buttons to match, worth double. 5 Consisting of 10 yards; finest grade camel's hair and French serge in brown, blue, green, granite and black $15.00, worth $25.00. j. i mum ho. vera, 100,000 bushels at Glenwood, and numberless wagon loads hauled to Coun cil Bluffs and Omaha. The crop this year has been immense and the price has averaged 50 cents a bushel in the or chard. Jonathans, Golden Pippins and Ben Davis are the favorite varieties. Golden Pippins are now on the market at $3 a barrel." Small fruit has always been a success, and there is now no doubt as to apples, pears, plums, etc anywhere in what was formerly set down as the Great Ameri can Desert CoiarxsBiONEB Geoff, of the general land office, has rendered a decision in the case of John L. Anderson vs. Mary Meyers, on appeal from the local land office at Niobrara, Neb. The commis sioner reviews the evidence submitted and concludes as follows: "It is clear that in consequence of sickness and poverty she had been obliged to be away a great deal of the time, and I am satisfied she has lived on the claim as continuously as she was able, and aa waa consistent with prudence and safety. The law does not require that life and health shall be sacrificed to maintain a residence There is not a particle of evidence to show that the claimant at any time abandoned her claim. Mary Meyers' entry is sustained." It is very evident that a sound judge is doing good work in the general land office at Washington. Officials sometimes think they are very cute, and are fooling the people wonderfully, but the following joke shows such a general state of affairs that it will be universally appreciated: Municipal Dignitary (to the police of ficial) Order the force to have every thing in readiness tonight Police Officer (to subordinate officer) Tell the men to get ready for a raid on the gmabling places tonight Subordinate Officer (to squad of police) Boys, be around here at 11 o'clock. We are ordered to make a haul on the gambling houses. Policeman (to gambler) Jerry, we're goin'to raid ye about midnight Tell the byes. A passenger and freight train collided at Glendale, Ia last week, entirely de molishing the engines on both trains; engineer James Pullen and fireman J. H. Waffers, of the passenger train, were in stantly killed, as well as an Italian in the smoking car. Both trains caught fire and the passenger train, with the exception of one sleeper and a day coach, was burned. Pullen, the engineer who was killed, leaves a wife and two chil dren at Perry, la. It was publically announced in New York last week that the Chicago & Al ton roads had passed into the hands of the Union Pacific road at $12,400,000. Thus the Chicago & Alton becomes an integral part of the Union Pacific Van derbilt chain of roads between the At lantic and Pacific oceans and the great lakes of the north and the Gulf of Mexi co on the south. The sum of $12,400,000 is said to be equal to $140 a share for the majority of the capital stock of the Chicago k Alton company. The investigation of charges of opium smuggling at San Francisco has revealed the fact that during the past six months the government has been defrauded out of $400,000 in duties through the opera tions of a gang of "smugglers. This is shown by a comparison of inventories of shipments by leading Hong Kong mer chants with the amount passing through the custom house at Frisco. Waaaiagtea Letter.. From oar rasalar correepoadeat. The president made the first draft of his message to congress at the last cabi net meeting, and several hours were de voted to a disonsirion of it There is no disagreement between the president and his advisors aa to the matters to be dis cussed in the message, but of course each of the cabinet has ideas aa to the bestmanner of presenting certain things. It is probable that several other cabinet meetings will be devoted to the consid eration of the message before that im portant document is completed. That it will be an able document cannot be doubted. Secretary Blaine has completed his estimate of the funds needed to run the, department of state for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 189a It aggregates about $3000000. Secretary Windom has appointed M. M. Holland, a colored lawyer, chief of a division in the second auditor's office. Mr. Holland took an active part in the presidential eampaign. Mr. Windom believeajn reeognixiag the men who de voted their energies m working for the party. So much cannot be truthfully said of some of our prominent officials.

The report strongly favors the equipment of this yard with modern fa cilities for building, fitting and repairing vessels, and submits plans for the pur pose, with an estimated cost, $1465,480. It recommends that the appropriation for the first year be $1,596,000. The de sirability of a first class navy yard on the Pacific cost, is conceded by everyone familiar with the subject Secretary Noble resents the implica tion that he removed C. F. Conrad, a special agent of the general land office, who investigated the Benson land survey frauds in California, to please the men who had defaulted the government. The man was removed because of charges made against him. Speaking of the re moval, Mr. Noble said: "In a report made to the department he had charged Secretaries Teller, Schurz, and others, with complicity in the land frauds, and alleged that the active field partners in the great swindle were the surveyors general of Dakota, Wyoming, New Mex ico, Colorado and other states. In Au gust last, Conrad called on me and ask ed to be sent back to California as the land cases were to be called September 13. I told him then that I had no con fidence in him, and that I had no further use for him, as the United State at torney, who has charge of the land cases, had sufficient evidence to proceed with the cases, and his (Conard's) testimony was not needed. I also told him that his suspicion had become so large and universal that he had better hire a hall and exhibit it." If one may be allowed to judge from the number of bidders and the figures submitted at the opening of proposals for building three cruisers on Saturday last at the navy department it looks very much like the charge made of com bination among ship builders when bids were opened several' months ago for the builders of these same cruisers, was true. The first time there were only two bids, one $175,000 in excess of the money ap propriated for each of the cruisers, and the other $80,000 m excess. This time there are five bidders, all within the ap propriation. The contracts have not yet been awarded, but it is expected that the work will be divided, one of the cruisers being built by each of the three lowest bidders. Secretary Blaine's family will this week take possession of the historic old mansion opposite the White House, which has been entirely refitted since Mr. Blaine leased it last spring. By the way, this seems a good place to say that the sensational accounts of trouble be tween Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. Harrison, which have several times recently been sent out from Washington, have not the slightest foundation. The two ladies are, and have been on the very best of terms for years. The new pension commissioner is not making much noise, but he is quietly and industriously striving to obtain a necessary knowledge of the workings of his office. He has done nothing toward deciding what is to be done with the men in the office who are charged with having had their pensions illegally re rated, but when he takes up that matter he will sift it thoroughly, and the guilty, if there be any such, will not escape. STOLEN DOGGEREL. A Yankee out a walking, in Virginia, at Wheeling, while to himself a talking, experienced a feeling, strange, painful and alarming from his caput to his knees, as he suddenly discovered he was cover ed o'er with bees. They crawl-ed up his tronserloons and peaked into his ears, they explored his swelling nostrils and filled his eyes with tears. Did he yell like a hyena? Did he holler like a loon? Was be scart and did he eut and run, or did the critter swoon? Nary one. He never swoons nor hollers. He hived 'em in a nail keg tight and sold 'em for two dollars. NEBRASKA NOTES. Guy A. Brown, clerk of the supreme court of Nebraska, died at Lincoln, Oct 29, and his funeral was to have taken place on Wednesday. Mr. Brown made good clerk. His desire was expressed that there be no undue ceremony at the obsequies, that no flowers or parade be used, that six members of the Lincoln bar and six members of the G.

While the burns are very pain ful they are nothing very serious and it is thought will leave no scars. . It was indeed a narrow escape. Howells Jour nal. There was a lawsuit before McClung's court last week, between H.A.Weitner of Rogers, and John Craig. Mr.Weitner sued Craig for $50, the remainder on a claim of $125 which Craig had agreed to give him for killing the prairie dogs on his farm. We understand that Mr.Craig claimed that Weitner had not fully ex terminated the little animals and so re fused to pay it aU. The court adjudged differently and found for the plaintiff in the sum of $50. So says the Schuyler Sun. This was probably an instance where John would have saved money by using the Cleveland chemist's drug to kill the dogs. The man who expects to kill the prairie dogs on a man's land, with a gun, must use up a big lot of time. It is a moral certainty that if we had the shooting to do, the dogs would never get killed not one of them prob ably. The may have used up $125 worth of his time, but we doubt about his kill ing all of John's dogs. Citizens at Schuyler are talking of clubbing together and shipping in a car load or two of coal. This would be one way of getting even with a coal combine, which it is said they have there. We are informed that Mrs. Novak has settled her case against John Junecek for the small sum of $75. Our readers will remember that last summer her hus band started home drunk from Schuyler with a load of bridge material and not being able to manage the team the wagon was upset and he killed. She brought suit for damages against Janecek on account of him selling the liquor which led to her losing her support and main tenance. Quill. It will be remembered that Mr. Bell was away at the time his elevator and electric light plant so narrowly escaped destruction by fire. He came home last Friday, and not until he reached Lin wood, in this county, did he learn of the fire. He is just as thankful all the same for this narrow escape from loss. David Ciy Tribune. By a strange irony of fate Charles L. Wundt who has been a very active agent of the Panlly jail building company, may have an opportunity to carry on a pro longed inspection of the interior of one of his favorite architectural designs. Mr. Wundt has not been in Omaha since the time he received his $1,500 warrant. He is expected to soon revisit the city, how ever, having received an invitation in the guise of a grand jury indictment; and, while here, he will be called upon to ex plain how his claim was presented and allowed and a warrant drawn and deliv ered in one short day, when the law re quires that every warrant shall lie in the clerk's office at least ten days. But Mr. Wundt, who, of course knows all about jails, will probably understand the best mode of exit from the establishment con nected with Omaha. World-Herald. It was announced to Gov.

Parents should be careful that their children do not contract colds during the fall or winter months. Such colds weaken the lungs and air passages, mak ing the child much more likely to con tract other colds during the winter. It is this succession of colds that causes catarrh and bronchitis or paves the way for consumption. Should a cold be con tracted, loose no time but cure it as quickly as possible.
