The accident was caused by the break ing of a frosted rail. No lives lost. The Western Union telegraph com many's headquarters at St. Louis has been destroyed by fire together with a large amount of other property. The fire started from broken electric light wires. The total loss is estimated at fUO,000.

A Good Kill. Senator Manderson intends endeavor ing to secure the passago of a bill intro duced by Congressman Laird, deceased, but which failed to become a law. It provides that "notice of sale of real es tate sold under the order, judgment or decree of a United States court shall lie given in the county andstate where the proerty is located, and that the proper ty, after notice, be there sold." The bill (.enacts that ''hereafter no sale of any real estate under any order, judgment or de cree of any United States court shall le had without previous publication of no tice of such property sale being ordered and had once a week for at least six weeks prior to such sale in at least one newspaper printed, regularly issued and having a general circulation in the coun ty and state where the real estate pro- Iosed to be sold is sit uated. Said notice shall among other things describe the real estate to le sold and shall provide for, and the sale so advertised shall take place at the court house of the county where the real estate to be sold is situ ated. The court may in its discretion direct the printing of the notice herein provided for to be made in such other papers as may seem proper." Wo think that the proposed change is a good one, and we have no doubt the Nebraska delegation in congress will support it. Many mortgages on Nebras ka farms are held by eastern money lenders, and when the foreclosures are made, suit is now generally brought in United States courts, and it often works hardships on land owners. This cannot well be otherwise, but if the law can be changed so as to secure the sale t be made in the county where the land is situated, there will be some mitigation of the hardships of the land owners. ?I!'.Sri fiirSucar. "Henry T. Oxnord the proprietor of the beet sugar plant at. (iranu island ap peared before the house committee on ways and means Monday and made an argument in favor of retaining the tariff on sugar. It was an able talk exhaust ing every phase of the sugar problem showing the gentleman to be thoroughly familiar with the subject. Mr. Oxnord contends that this is the only way the industry can make a start in this conn try, but let it once secure a fair start and sugar can be bought right here at a much less figure than now. This is the way Franco, Germany and Austria gave encouragement to the industry and ev ery well read man knows the beneficial results that have followed in those countries. France has a duty of 5 cents a pound, Germany 3 and Austria 4 cents while the United States has but 2 cents. The gentleman claims there are five sugar producing 6tates in the Union, Louisiana, Texas, California, Kansas and Nebraska and that Nebraska is not least among these by any means. Coming from such a source these are surely words of great promise for Nebraska and may be taken as a certain criterion of the future of our state, Schuyler Sun. N. W. Wells returned Monday from a trip to Puget Sound, Wash. Ho enjoy ed his trip there and says that it is a beautiful country around the bay. He met Alec Sutherland who is doing well there and also Mr. Hoxie for a few mo ments. He informed the reporter that while on his way out there he rode part of the time in company with one of the Clans Spreckles sugar men who inform ed him that they proposed putting in ten beet sugar plants next season in the state of California alone. Schuyler Sun. The attorneys for Coughlin, Burke, O'SulIivan and Kunze, convicted of the murder of Dr. Cronin. filed a motion on the 10th for a new trial, which motion is very lengthy, assigning thirty-nine caus es of error in the ruling of the court finally concluding with the statement that the defendants have discovered tes timony which entitled them to a new trial. A rETmox has been presented to the county commissioners of Lancaster connty, asking for a thorough and com plete investigation of the records and accounts of the office of sheriff. The sheriff says that he has offered to put up 81,000 at any time to pay an expert whom the commissioners might engage to examine into his fee accounts and receipts. The supreme court of this state was I reorganized at Lincoln Jan. 9, by Judge Beese retiring and Judge T. L. Norval taking the oath of office. Judge Cobb becomes chief justice for two years.

A Paper Read at the Platte FarmerV flub by John C. Swart-dry. Tho subjoet assigned me, and upon which I purpose to give my views or opinion is, can hogs be raised for three cents or less per pound, or in other words would it pay better to sell corn at the market price, say sixteen cents, than to feed it at above prices to hogs? I expect to lie brief, and very likely my remarks will not meet the views of my hearers, at least not all, but those who differ with me have a perfect right, providing they can prove the contrary. First, my opinion is that much depends upon the breed or stock of hogs; I be lieve this to be the verdict of every hog raiser. Some years back it was the conviction of many farmers that Berkshire stock was the most profitable hog to raise, as they were ready for market any time from seven to ten months old; this is true of some classes of the Poland China, provided they are pushed from the pig on, the build and make of the Berkshire is such that it is easily fatted and it looks hog-like when only a few months old. It is the conviction of packers that no hog cuts to the advantage and makes as fine bacon as the Berkshire. I will give it as my opinion that the farmer can raise pork at three cents per pound, and realize some profit, though I suppose I should add a proviso that disease does not infest his herd. Further, early pigs will give more profit, say April pigs than those later in the season, and again, for profit I would advise good care of the mothers, plenty of swill in addition to corn and oats un til grass comes, at which time yon can partially dispense with dry feed; feed your pigs swill, as soon as they will be irrio eairthe sooner ihsyaPSTead-V for market the more profit. Now, in addi tion to feed for the hog, it is highly ex pedient to have a dry shelter so that they are not exposed to wind and storm. I do not think it best to house too warm. I will also state, it has been my ex perience that fall pigs pay small profits, especially when you lose half your num ber before spring, which is quito fre quently the case (and no cholera in the country, either). Fall pigs from young mothers I don't believe ever return profit. The first indispensable requisite of a good breeder is the possession of a good constitution and sufficient age, then the offspring will inherit health. For profit we must have healthy hogs; in order to accomplish this we must select our breeders, that are active, hearty and vig orous, capable of endurance. I don't think there is any question but what the old hog's offspring give larger profits than the young one's. I believe this to be the conviction of all hog rais ers, and were it not for the disease the hog is subject to, farmers certainly would prefer the old hog for profit. The farmer felt as if he could not keep his sows over, as there would be too great a risk of loss, or in other words a loss he could avoid. With this dread of loss, the farmer is responsible in destroying the vital powers of the hog. There is no comparison between the hogs of today and the old woods hog which had the vitality and endurance of a race horse. Our hog today has a delicate, frail con stitution, not capable of enduring hard ships, but is subject to all diseases that come along. Again, for profit it is highly expedient for farmers to have the necessary accom modations for his hogs in the way of houses, sheds, tame pasture and plenty of clean water. Mud and filth are fore runners or disease. That farmers wno have the proper accommodations, can go into the hog-raising business more ex tensively, I believe it is accepted as a settled fact where the farmer can raise hogs on a larger scale, say enough to .consume all of one man's time, he cer tainly could curtail the cost of raising hogs (especially with good luck), regular feeding, proper attention witn the moth ers at the time of farrowing, and the pigs until they are able to care for them selves. Now by the way of demonstration: if you can, by attention and care, raise one hundred pigs from ten sows, certainly this would give a much greater profit than only to raise fifty, this is the ex perience of many farmers, only to raise half the number they should. Of course this is not always attributable to the want of care, shelter and management. The condition of the hog may have mnch to do with this loss. If disease is in the system, the pigs are likely to come dead, or die soon afterward When the farmer meets with losses he soon feels the profits are gone, gone we might claim in two ways; because he could attend and feed one hundred hogs at a proportionately lees expense than twenty-fife, time, feed and all things considered. I will conclude with tius ARBEIT 3fc statement: if a man is properly equipped for hog-rrising and could havo a guaran ty against loss by disease he can raise pork for three cents and even less, per pound. But I cannot figure out any way by which the farmer can raise corn for twelve and firteen cents, which seems to Ik? the market price on corn. Washington Letter. From oar renilar corresoiident. Congress, much abused, but still nec essary, is again with us, and Washington rejoices and hopes its guests may make a long visit. For if congress does not entirely make the Washington mare go, it certainly acts as a spur to that quad ruped and accelerates her pace. Among the vacant chairs on tho re publican side of the house is that of Judge Kelley, the "father of tho house," and from present appearances the chair will never again lie occupied by the ven erable commoner who has made his last tariff speech. Ho is critically ill in this city from a complication of disorders, including a rapidly growing cancer, and there is little or no hope of his recovery. There is a probability that tho race question in the south will shortly be come one of international importance. An English subject, a minister of the gospel, has presented a petition to Sir Julian Paunceforte, the British minister, asking redress for injuries received by himself and wife at the hands of a mob in North Carolina. He claims to be a missionary, and that he and his wife have been preaching to the negroes and teaching a negro school, and that for this offense a mob of white men broke into his house, after tiring a volley through the door, wounding him, and beating his wife. Tho preacher and his wife are now in Washington, and tho British ministejcj's engaged ill investi gating their statements. If found true redress will be demanded of this gov ernment. The sheep raisers of the country are standing up manfully for their rights before the house committee on ways and means they think the tariff on wool should le raised a little. There is considerable dissatisfaction among congressmen because of the ex clusiveness affected by certain depart ment officials, and- unless something is done 'to allay it an early explosion may be expected, and it wdl not bo the con gressmen that will get hurt. Beeause a man happens to got into the cabinet or at the head of an important bureau is no reason why he should act as though he was sole proprietor of the entire country. Everybody is watching to see which way the house will start this week, ev erything depends on what business is first taken up. If one of the many non political questions, things may jog on quietly for quite a while, but if a polit ical question comes up it will lie a fight from the start. Probably tho republi can leaders will not provoke a rumpus for some time yet, certainly not until they get the mojority under better con trol than was apparent beforo the holi days, but on the other hand, the demo crats will probably do all in their power to make a row. for they are much letter prepared for it now than they will be later. So matters may fairly lie said to be in a ticklish condition. Kobert G. Blaine, a brother of Secre tary Blaine, has ln-en appointed deputy first auditor of tho treasury. He was an applicant for the position of register of wills of this district. From official information received from United States consuls tho state department officials are under the im pression that the seizing of certain American merchant vessels by the Co lumbian government was perfectly jus tifiable, as the commanders of the ves sels wilfully disobeyed the marine laws of that country. The New York papers tried to make a big sensation out of this little matter, probably lecause the ves sels are owned and sailed by merchants of that citv.
