WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1, IrtK). The influenza hasrenched Denver and many of her citizens are suffering; from ita effects. Gov. Thayer and party left the City of Mexico for Vera Cruz after tbe re ception tendered by Gov. San Luis Potosi. Chas. . Redfield, a veteran printer of Omaha, died Saturday, of a tumor with which he had lieen, afflicted for many years. A terrible gale continued all day on the 26th at Bradford, Pa., blowing down thousands of oil derricks and injuring many houses. J. F. Fountain, -formerly of Lincoln and Omaha, later of Des Moines, was found dead in bed, Wednesday, at the Col man house, New York. The New York World, in its estimate of the present wealth of tho United States, places the total valuation in the state of Nebraska at S563,KK),000. At Hancock, Mich.. Sunday, Theodore Grass, his wife, their seven children and a visitor, Lena Erb, perished by tire, which broke out while all were in bed. The David City Tribune says that city is not yet in her teens and has spent nearly $200,000 for buildings tho pnst year, and fully as much in sight for the coming year. Engineer Stetson or the Burlington road has lieen nrrested, charged with manslaughter as leing the cause of the collision which recently happened at Hastings. The Greeley county lionus to the Mis Bonn River, North Platte Ar Denver railroad now amounts to $100,000. Tt is supposed that this virtually assures the construction of the road. A man died at Clinton, la., Christmas morning who was 80 years old and leaves nineteen children, a large numlter of grand children, great grand children and great, great grand children. Sheriff EicKENKAitY captured a horse thief at Plattsmonth Dec. 2"th, who gave his name as Michael Frank. By this arrest the sheriff will secure two rewards of $50 each, making a nice Christmas present. A man who gave his name as John Griffith tendered himself to the sheriff at Chicago Wednesday, saying that he had stolen a horse at Grand Island six years ago. An officer gave him money enough to buy a Christinas dinner. Fred Albert, a German boy sixteen years old, was killed Tuesday evening of last week on the farm of Sheriff Darnell, near Ulysses. A runaway team with a load of corn passed over his back and head, and he died in fifteen mitutes. Cipher dispatches received at Lisbon on the 25th report a revolt at Rio Janei ro on the 16th, in favor of monarchy. The revolt was not suppressed until the 20th, when the provisional authorities arrested quite a number of the leading participants. Nebraska is a great state all the way round, w. A. Paynter of Omaha is the father of a little girl born Christmas morning, and that weighs two and a half pounds, a pocket edition, complete and unabridged, of childhood, remarks the World-Herald. .

Said yesterday a prominent advocate of the world's fair movement: 'If Chicago secures the world's expo sition of 8!fc it, will he because a large nuinlHTof patriotic citizens have, with out regard to their individual interests, given a large amount of time;ind lilieral suhscriptions in aid of the enterprise. A list of parties subscribing is now lie ing printed from day to day in the pa pers, which list will lo carefully perused for future reference, as it will be desir able to know wlio our lilteral citizens are. If the reader's name does not al ready appear on the subscription looks, t lose no time in having the same record ed, as the record will be a roll of honor surpassing any .similar attempt ever made in the country. When the Imoks are finally closed it will bo regretted if the name of every man in the city able to siihscrile does not appear. Every man in the city who has a business or a foot of property will be greatly lienefited if the world's exposition shall be voted to Chicago. This lieing true it goes without saying' that every such man should, by subscribing and work, do all he possibly can in aid of the movement." What the Inter Ocean says aliove in regard to Chicago and the world's expo sition, is true on a smaller scale for Co lumbus and the state fair. Keep the ball rolling. xor to he ihscoikai.eii. Nebraska may yet Learn that foal in Abundance. She has "Anot her company has lieen organized to bore for coal in Omaha. Not discouraged by the failure of the syndicate that put $10,000 in a hole near Iler's distillery a few years ago in a profitless search for black diamonds, another party of Omaha men have de duct! to prospect ror coal and an or ganization for that purpose has lieen effected. Tho principal mover in this new pro ject is Mr. J. B. Finlay, who owns a big farm just outside the city limits and west of Omaha Heights. Mr. Finlay is a native of Pennsylvania and before coming to Omaha was engaged in coal mining. Some time ago ho became con vinced that the indications of coal on his farm and in the vicinity, along what is known as Coal creek, were too strong to be misleading, and he has been doing a little prostecting on his own account. The results of his efforts have not been announced, but they were evidently sat isfactory to him, as he has formed a company for tho purpose of prospecting on the place. He has enlisted some Omaha capitalists with him and has secured options on a large tract of prop erty extending from Coal creek west to the Little Papillion. Expert coal men from Pennsylvania have visited the loca tion and are clearly convinced that a coal lied underlies the bluffs along those creeks. Mr. Finlay is now in Pennsyl vania securing machinery for the pros pecting, which will be commenced early next month. Bee. I'neay Altout Canada. A numler of letters written by promi nent merchants and ioliticians in Cana da and have lieen published in the Lon don newspapers within the last few das, which havo caused a feeling of uneasi ness with regard to the future of the Dominion. The writers of these letters complain bitterly of the neglect of Eng land to pay prompt attention to the com mercial union with the United States, as tho onlything that can now lie done to enable tho resources of tho Dominion to be properly developed. Failure to re lieve Canada by any arrangement of this character, they assert, will result in a re public as a means of self preservation. Tory journals and tory joliticians commenting on these expressions, do not attempt to conceal their fear that unless England speedily takes measures for the relief of Canada and gives her the full measure of attention and ad vantages that her importance deserves, the Dominion will le forever lost to Great Britain. Ex. The sugar beet seems destined in the course of time to compete with corn for favor with Nebraska farmers, and the enterprising citizens, here and there, are (to use a very expressive phrase of the boys) "catching on." Nebraska soil is pretty much alike all over, and where the' sugar beet has been raised, it has beeira decided success, both in quantity and in: quality. Official analysis of the vegetable raised in Antelope county shows a larger proportion of sugar than any ever before analyzed in the United States. The business men of Neligh and the farmers thereabouts are enthusias tic over tho prospects and are ready to do the liberal thing by a capitalist who will invest money in a plant at that place. Nebraska soil, being the sedi ment of a vast, ancient lake, is rich in material for producing all kinds of veg etables, aid we believe she cannot be ex celled for raising sugar beets. If so, it is only a question of time and enterprise when she will occupy the front rank in the states in furnishing this very neces sary commodity sugar. Prices no object.

A The bloody butchery of an entire fam ily at Niles, Ohio, last week, may well call attention for its enormity. Charles Sholar, his wife and their three children were found with their throats cut from ear to ear. Shelar and his wife were lying together across the foot of the led, and the three children were on the iloor in different parts of the house. Shelar was a millman, of late had leen drinking heavily; he and his wife did not live happily together, and it is siip)osed that, in a fit of madness, he committed the deed with a razor. The "drowning of tronble" by drinking intoxicating li quors is a delusion and a snare. Human wisdom, at the best, is weak enough, without seeking to liefuddle the brain with intoxicants of any kind, or with opiates. Jf all the men of dirty brains and filthy desires could be induced to take a good bath once or twice a week, and a Turkish bath occasionally, they would find far more consolation and help than in the customary use of in toxicants, anuthen, such crimes as those referred to, would be much less frequent than they now are. The truth is that every person should be in the full possession of all Jus faculties, at all times and under all circumstances, and thus keep intact his strength of will. Last week we mentioned what seemed to be a very singular case of the thoft of ninety head of cattle from a man's corral in Madison county, and he claimed that, although he had searched the country over, he couldn't even find a trace of his stock. The Norfolk News of the 2M ult. gives this explanation: "Last evening W. F. Gannon, of Omaha, procured a warrant, for the arrest of Robert McDonald, of Tilden. for removing ninety head of mortgaged cattle from the countv without the con sent of the mortgagee. The cattle, it seems, were part of a lot of UNO head that were included in a mortgage given to Gannon and by him assigned to the Monticello bank, of Monticello, Iowa, to secure a dobt of $5,250. The complaint alleges that McDonald permitted and caused the cattle to bo removed with the intent to deprive the mortgagees of their security. He was arrested by Sheriff Flynn last night and was taken to Burnett for a'preliminary hearing this morning." W. H. Orton, near Fullertou, one day last week had his arm caught in a corn crusher. It is supposed he stooped down and gathered up a handful of the refuse which had fallen down by the side of the machine, and in throwing it in, his hand was caught in the gearing and the arm drawn in to the shoulder He had a very remarkable escape con sidering all the circumstances. The Journal says that part of the thumb was amputated, but it was thought the hal ance of the hand and arm could be saved. James Hanfee, a constable at Schuy ler went to secure some mortgaged property from Molacek, a Bohemian, one day last week, and as tho constable rode up Molacek fired at him with a shotgun causing such a wound as will result in his death. A short time after the shoot ing oecured Molacek shot and killed himself. There is a significant similarity in all reorts of "race riots" in the south. The latest from Mississippi show that the negroes were defeated as usual. Two were killed and several wounded. Of course none of the whites were harmed. It is a dull and lifeless day when the shotgun brigade cannot start a row as an excuse to slaughter a Omaha Bee. few "niggers." Gladstone took his usual part in the service at church at Haywarden last Sunday, reading the lessons, and said a few words of devout thankfulness for the blessings of health and friendship. He received 200 telegrams and 500 let ters of congratulation on his eightieth birthday, and from all parts of the world. Reports from Paris state that the epi demic has spread with such rapidity that the hospitals are crowded and the au thorities are compelled to make extra provision to accommodate new patients. The N. Y. supreme court upholds electricity as a means of capital pun ishment. DanielJKennet was thrown from his wagon on the 26th at Sutton and receiv ed such injuries as will result in the loss of his life. He cornea from Waco, and had $60 in money on his person. The charge is made that he was drunk when the accident occurred. Rupert Yiess, aged twenty-one, a clerk in Graves's clothing store, Central City, was found Wednesday morning, lying on the counter, dead; directly over the heart was a wound and at his side a revolver. Supposed to be suicide, but no cause known. Martin Pbokes, a business man of Schuyler, was driving home the night before Christmas loaded with presents SkKBS LEADERS OF LOW PRICES, Columbus, for his family; his team liecame fright ened and ran away, throwing him from the, buggy intlicting injuries which caus ed his death in a short time. JosKi'ii WoonwAicn, the delivery clerk at the Hist office at Denver, Col., was arrested while attempting to pass a check for $1,100 made out in favor of( Henry Bohn. Officials of the jHistoffice charge that that kind of robliery has been going on for some time. John Hart, of Omaha, while on his way to purchase Christmas presents for his wife and children, was run over by a Burlington A- Missouri railroad train and terribly crushed and mangled by which in a short time resulted in his death. Warren F. Hedstrom, mailing clerk in the posoffice at Buffalo, N. Y., has been arrested for opening letters. In his pockets were found two decoy letters and eight others which had leen mailed at Buffalo. Joseph Penrod's new residence at Beatrice has lieen destroyed by fire. The house was not occupied. The fire was supposed to lie the work of an incen diary. Washington Letter. From onr regular correspondent. Tho president decided to spend h18 Christmas at the White House, although to do so he was compelled to decline several very enticing invitations to go elsewhere. Mrs. Harrison has seen no company since the death of her sister, but she will assist the president at the official reception on New Year's day. Speaker Reed kept his word, and an nounced all of the house standing com mittees on Saturday. The assignments seem to give general satisfaction among the members. Senator Ingalls doesn't want the pres ent census, or rather that of 1890, to be a repetition of the last one, which waR notoriously inaccurate, and by tho way all of the tomes of misinformation, as Mr. Ingalls termed the reports, have not yet been printed. Senator Htde promis es that the eleventh census shall be much more prompt than was the tenth. Senator Hoar has introduced a bill that all business men would like to see become a law as soon as possible. It provides for a uniform system of bank ruptcy throughout the United States. The house has by resolution, request ed the treasurer of the United States to take charge of the money left by Silcott in the safe of the sergeant-at-arms of the house, something like $35,000, until some agreement is reached by tho house :is to its final disposition. The matter will lie settled after the recess. The senate confirmed a large imiidier of nominations, including that of Justice Brewer, liefore knocking off for Christ mas. Senator Cnllom has introduced a bill to establish a ostal telegraph service. It authorizes the postmaster general to make a five years contract with any ex isting telegraph company to transmit messages lietween free delivery cities. The messages are to lie delivered by the by the regular letter carriers. The price will depend on how good a contract can be made with the telegraph companies. Someliody, or soma committee, ought to have authority to exercise some sort of censorship over 1 Jills introduced in congress. Among the avalanche of meas ures poured into the house and senate, IKirticnlarly tho former, during the past week, are hundreds of bills that it is a sheer waste of public money to print. Besides the foolish and alisurd bills, in troduced generally to get rid of some cranky constituent, there are duplicates or almost duplicates, of the interesting really important measures. If somebody would take the trouble to figure up the cost to the government of these useless bills I am certain the amount would be astonishing, and that some method of stopping the needless expenditure would be speedily discovered. Commissioner Raum is reorganizing the pension bureau in order to increase its adjudicating capacity. He has made changes that will virtually give him the additional services of seventy-five ex perienced clerks. Attention Farmers. It seems to me the time has come for us to put our heads together and see if we can find lietter ways for doing things on the farm. With present low prices for farm pro ducts our margin of profit is but small at best, and, without observation, good judgment, real study it does not exist at all, but instead, a margin of loss. While I admit there are causes out side of our farm work, which tend to produce low prices of our products, and which can and should be removed, I'm satisfied our remedy lies nearest and surest in the direction of more intalli- gent farming. In years gone by when products came J more easily, we got into some careless, Allen shirtings all new figures at 5c yd. Good yd wide musline 4 3-4 and 5c per yd, others ask 7 1-2 for same grade. Good cotton flannels 5c yd. Fancy bed ticking 9c yd. 5-8 lb cotton bats 5c each. Curtain scrim lace effect only 7c yd worth 12 l-2c. R 3c CO. wasteful ways that we cannot nowjafford to hold on to. Then, we did not need to study the liest methods of grain grow ing, stock raising, milk, lieef and pork production. The profit would come any how. Not so now. If there are more profitable ways of doing these things, than most of us practice, we need to know them; not only to know them, but to encourage, even urge each 1 other to adopt them. But the question is how to learn and put into practice these better ways. And this brings me to that for which I write this article. The members of a local fanners' club decided that a good way to commence this needed work, would be to hold a three days' Farmers' Institute at Co lumbus for Platte and adjoining coun ties, and we want every live fanner in the county to help us carry this project out. There should lie a good represent ation of farmers and their wives and daughters. Women as well as men are interested in this matter. The propriety of organizing a county farmers' club will also be considered. Practical and timely farm subjects should be discussed. Dont say yon have no time to spend for such things. Yon can't put in a day that will be of more value to us all in dollars and cents even, if yon will attend and help make the meetings what they may and should be. There are more than a thousand dollars lieing thrown away every week by farmers of Platte county, simply lie cause of not knowing, at least not prac ticing, two or three now, well establish ed principles in pork making. . That there is much profit in preparing pigs for market at the earliest age invi sible, and that at present prices, they are fed at a loss, after they weigh from 200 to 225 pounds, is no longer questioned by intelligent farmers. But we need just such meetings as these to help jostle us out of the old nits, even when we know we are in the wrong track. Many farmers on tho uplands will skin over three or four acres of rich prairie for a ton of hay from tho native grass, whon they might just as well get the same ainjonnt from lmlf an aero of clover and timothy, if properly managed, and so on through the whole list of farmers' work. These are practical matters. We can afford to give them time and atten tion. Some of you say, "O, I keep post ed. I understand all about these things." Then, you are just tho men to come and instruct us who have much to learn. J. H. Reed. Kitmarrk Townnhip. George Hodel is turning over the ground with his gang plow. Judging from present appearances tbe ice houses are doomed to remain empty. Christmas passed off pleasantly in this ueighliorhood, trees being had at the several churches. We learn that Frederick Mueller has killed a fat lieef, and he shouldn't lie surprised if we happen over some even ing for supper. Louis Nauenburg has hauled a great, deal of corn; some of the others are pre paring to do the same. Jacob Schwank finished shelling last week. Onr Nimrodsnre busy with the gun at present, picking off the geese, and thin ning out the rabbits. Joseph Hodel shot five rabbits in an afternoon and Rudolph Mueller killed two geese this fall, one of which weighed thirteen pounds. So you see there is some game yet. Christian Karlin left Friday last for a visit to friends and relatives at Cam bridge, Bed Willow county, Neb. As he has one brother and one sister there, the above is his excuse for going, but we suspect that he may also be sjieculating in the matrimonial market. Some Godless persons seem to lie ex ercising their thieving propensities in this neighborhood by going to the barns of the people, and taking their horses therefrom. About three weeks ago, Louis Nauenburg had a horse taken from his barn, but it was found the next morning at a neighbor's; it seemed to have been ridden very hard during the night, as it was sweating profusely and the saddle marks were plainly visi ble. The next attempt was made at Henry Leuschen's. Mr. L. having been awakened by his dogs barking, went into the yard and discovered two men in front of his barn; returned to the house for his gun, they disappeared and no trace of them could lie found. The third attempt was made at Frank Luck singer's place on the night of the 21st; one of the girls happening to lie out about nine o'clock, heard an unusual noise at the barn, and informed her fa ther of the fact. He, with his hired man and son, repaired to the barn, where they found the best hoose saddled and bridled, and a bridle on the best mole, the saddle- having been taken down ( from the hay loft. Nothing was taken in any of the cases, though little short of a special providence saved the horses Nebr. in the last two cases. The farmers should lie a little wary, and if -any one is caught prowling around their barns at night, give them a forcible greeting on short notice. Chicken-hearted tolicy will avail little with horsethieves. Charles. What Paper Are Yoa Takiag?
