L. Bboivx, jr., of David City, has been appointed postmaster. The influenza is increasing in Mexico, and the number of deaths are very great. In the Sioux: County Herald office, is on exhibition a turnip weighing twenty one pounds. TnE Samoan treaty was ratiGed by the senate last week, with but twelve dis senting votes." Magoie Gbeen, a 17 year old girl, took the second prize in a bread-baking con test at Hastings. St. Paul, Neb., rolling mills have re ceived an order from a firm in Georgia for over 500,000 pounds of flour. Rt. Rev. James O'Connor, bishop of Omaha, now at St Augustine, Fla., was reported on the 4th, on his dying bed. NonTH PiiAiNFiELD, N. J., is greatly rejoicing at finding valuable silver and copper ores, among the mountains back of the town. In the case of James Sbahnon, charg ed with the murder of James Dngeon, tho jury at Sioux City returned a verdict of not guilty. John E. Reybusn has been nominat ed by the republicans to fill tho vacancy caused by tho death of Judge Kelly of Pennsylvania. Tebiuble wind and snow storms pre vailed in portions of Pennsylvania last week, from which much damage was done to property. Rev. Leslie'Stevens, of Kearney, will go as a missionary to Nankin, China, about April 1, under tho auspices of the Methodist church. TnE Gentiles succeeded at tho elec tion at Salt Lake .Monday. No such scene was ever before witnessed in Utah, as the rejoicing over the result. Gen. William T. Sherman on the 8th at New York, celebrated his 70th birth day. Senator Sherman his brother and a number of special friends were present. Unprecedented floods in Oregon and Washington last week did a fearful amount of damage. The Willamette river was higher than it had been since the flood of 1SG1. A construction train with a mtmlier laborers went through a bridge one day Tast week, near Cascade- Locks, Ore., sixty-eight feet high,killing ten men and injuring ten others. The land office for Lincoln and Mc Cook,, will be filled by W.H. Clark for register, and Joseph Teeters, receiver at Lincoln, and James P. Lindsay and David E. Baumgardner, receiver and . register at McCook. A pile of goods in Britby& Botches dry goods store at Nebraska City, on the morning of the 8th insL, about 3 o'clock, caught fire by a spark from an electric light. It was discovered in time to keep the loss down to a few hundred dollars. Judge O. P. Mason, as guardian ad litem, appealed the case of Shellenberger v. Ransom to the supreme court the other day on the grounds, in chief, that a murderer cannot inherit from his vic tim. That ought to be a strong point in law. Astonishment is manifested by some people at the discovery that neither Mr. Blaine nor Mr. Randall ever studied law. One began his career as a journalist, and the other in mercantile pursuits. This seems to demonstrate that it is the man and not the profession that makes the statesman. Boston HeralcL- Deputt U. S. Mikshal Lton has re cently arrested at Central City G- C. Pesaberton and George F. Reed, charged with selling intoxicants, without obtain ing a government license. One other law-violating citizen fled before the oSoer coald get to him. Good laws are apt to be respected when officials do tSsirdaty. Officials who, after taking the oath of office, afterwards regard not its obli gations, and the general interests of the community in which tliey live, find trouble in their way, after all. In Oma ha, which is supposed of course to be running under the same state laws as the other towns of Nebraska, they have had trouble in regard to the inmates of houses of prostitution, infamous places that have no legal existence in this state, and which should be suppressed every where. Tho city council there has re cently undertaken to correct what it considers a too great laxity in the col lection of fines from prostitutes, and at a meeting last week, says the World Herald, '-passed a resolution directing the city marshal not to recognize in the future any physician's certificate of sicklies. Inasmuch as the supreme court has three times decided that a city cannot collect fines from this class of offenders, when such fines are in the nature of a license, and if a defense were made no fines could lie collected at all, it has leen the practice to collect no fines from abandoned women, who were sick." There is no city or village in the stale but can rid itself of these pit-falls, if it will. The laws and the decisions of the courts are all against them, and the veriest fool of a policeman wouldn't have a particle of trouble in suppressing even suspected honses. There is no reason why the gambling law should be a dead letter any more than any other law. Chicago very prop erly expends thousands of dollars to convict anarchists and men who murder law-abiding citizens but she has until now allowed gambling hells to run on her principal streets. A strict law on gambling will generally have a whole some effect. Gambling was very com mon in Nebraska until it was made a felon'. True, thero is gambling going on in many towns and cities of the state today, but its publicity and demoralizing influence have been checked to a great extent. The return of a few indictments by a Nebraska grand jury would doubt less make gambling houses now con ducted "under ground" less numerous, and the visits of their patrons less fre quent. Omaha World Herald. The Illinois alien land law which goes into effect next July prohibits the hold ing of real estate by foreigners. Over one million acres of farm land are in volved, and unless the owners become citizens of tho United States before the first of July the property reverts to the state. The Nebraska law, while not so sweeping, was copied after that of Uli nois and is intended to curb the greed of Sculley, the Dublin landlord, who owns thousands of acres in both states, and who has transplanted in this country the odious system of landlordism in vogue in Ireland. Our state law differs from tho Illinois law in prohibiting non resident aliens from acquiring title to real estate or interest therein, ''by pur chase, devise or descent." Ex. Corn is Fuel in Kansas. In a decision rendered Wednesday at Wichita, a justice held corn to lie fuel. One thousand bushels of corn belonging to a farmer named Steadman, had been attached. Steadman said he was using corn for fuel, and that 1,000 bushels was not more than enough to last a year. The justice ruled that under the law ex empting one year's fuel, the attachment would not hold. Corn is thus a double- headed king; the truth is that corn is 'fuel, bread, meat and drink." About eight o'clock Sunday night, tho new Catholic church in Butler county, about five miles southwest of the Platte bridge, near the David City road, was burned to the ground. The building cost 80,000, and on Sunday forenoon the first services were held in it. So far as we have heard at this writing, the fire is believed to have originated from a defec tive flue. Being a new church just fin ished, it is believed there was no insur ance as yet. Schuyler Herald. A farmer near Des Moines, la., has lost a dozen head of cattle recently by a disease which is now pronounced to be spina meningitis. The cattle, when at tacked with it, arch their backs, switch their tails in a lively manner, stamp their feet and rub their hinder parts so vigorously as to draw blood. As the disease progresses, the animals lose the use of their hinder parts by paralysis, and death results in about twelve hours. Deputx U. S. Marshal Hill was in town again .Tuesday, and went down to Octavia, and captured another illicit dealer in liquid refreshments, who had been selling without government license. The first one he took to Lincoln paid a fine of $25 and costs, amounting to 960 or over, xne game is prooaDiy not yet played through and some others may yet have to toe the home plate.

A portion of the scaffolding at the beet sugar factory at Grand Island gave way one day last week, and Henry Schulter, had his left thigh broken and skull fractured, and will die; Ottis Springsgate, injured internally and bad ly bruised alont the chest and bimbs, may die; Steve Costello, injured about face and head. Two other workmen were slightly injured. The Platte Valley ranch, recently owned by C. E. Mayne of Omaha, and one of the most valuable ranches in the state, was sold Thursday to satisfy a mortgage. There was only one bid for all the pieces of land, and this by Con gressman Dorsey, 33,000. The farms were valued at 60,000,000, so that Mr. Dorsey gets a very cheap property. Charles Cokmick,soii of the late John McConnick, and nephew or Dick Mc Connick, died suddenly and unexpected ly on the 3d of February, of pneumonia at his horse ranch near Calhoun. He was a well known active business young man in Omaha and his death was a great surprise to his many friends. His estate is estimated at $200,000. John Cramer at Council Bluffs re ceived a very severe shock the other morning while opening a store. Inves tigation proved the electric wires were improperly insulated, and the current was conducted to the iron door of which he took hold. Kates in Congress. Senator Paddock, always alive to the interests of the people, on Thursday last introduced the following resolution, which was adopted without dissent: "Whereas, It is alleged that by reason of the excessive freight rates on lines of railways subject -to the jurisdiction of the act of congress to regulate commerce between the several states, the great section of the country lying between the Rocky mountains and the principal food distributing centers of the east finds itself unable to market its food products and to obtain the actual cost of produc tion; therefore be it "Resolved, That the senate committee on interstate commerce is hereby au thorized and directed to investigate the conditions now existing as to these al leged facts affecting the transportation of food products on interstate lines in the states and territories situated in the section aforesaid, and if in their judg ment the interstate commerce commis sion has not the authority under the present state of the law toregulate ex cessive rates in such products in the interest of unremunerative agricultural production and a cheaper food supply for consumers, that they shall report at their discretion such amendments to the present law as will tend to the removal of the evil complained of at the earliest practicable day." In conversation with the Bee corres pondent the senator said: "The com plaints as printed in the newspapers are so numerous that I feel it but right that national attention should lie called to them. Without having entered into the details of the matter it seems to me that sufficient has been alleged to demand the very fullest investigation by congress. The roads which it is charged are dis criminating against our agricultural classes are subject to the provisions of the interstate commerce commission and if such discrimination exists they should be made to bear the fnll penalty. I shall see that the matter is pushed. There is no reason why their investigation should not bring out the status of affairs and help to allay the irritation which exists, thereby showing the truth of the charges and providing a remedy, or by proving the falsity of the declarations made and removing in this way the cause for com plaint," Washington letter. From our regular correspondent. 1 Secretary Noble is very anxious that the senate should take early action on the Oklahoma town-site bill, and that the bill organizing the territory of Okla homa should be hurried up in both houses. He has paid several visits to both the house and senate committee on territories to urge early action to .avoid trouble and bloodshed. The house committee on elections has decided to report in favor of seating Mudd, the contestant for the seat now held by Coinpton, of Maryland. Ohio has scooped another fat position. Judge W. H. Taft, son of ex-attorney general Taft, having been appointed solicitor general in place of O. W. Chap man, deceased. The pay is $7,000 a year. Secretary Windom's silver bill is not meeting with as much favor as was ex pected. It has republican opponents in both house and senate. Several representatives of the G. A. R. are here working in the interests of the service pension bill framed by that or ganization. Senator Chandler gave some very in teresting testimony before the naval court of inquiry as to what he knew about organizations of naval officers and their efforts to control legislation. It is thought here that this court might have discovered a great deal more than, it did if it had been so disposed. Representative Dibble thinks there should be two vice presidents, and he has a bill providing for them now before the house committee on the election of president and vice president. Senator Ingalls was an interested spectator on the floor of the house for an hour Saturday night. There is an unverified rumor floating around here that says secretary Noble will leave the cabinet to take the nlace vacated by justice Brewer in the United States district court. The Mormons, through their attorneys, are still hammering away at the bill for the admission, of Idaho, They object to. the test oath clause in the constitution adopted by that territory. J. lie house committee on commerce will not report either of the several bills for the repeal of the inter-state com merce law. Secretary Proctor accompanied by secretary Rusk went to Fortress Monroe Saturday night. Mr. Proctor is on gov ernment businessand "Uncle Jerry" is taking a little recreation. ITKI.1C KOADS. Paper Prepared by John Wise, Farmers' I'nion. and Itead Feu. for 1. the Gentlemen: Good public roads are regarded as one of the best indexes of a thriving good country and neighlmrhood of which a community can boast, the best indication that can lie presented to the mind that the community are a pro gressive, prosperous people. It impress es the fact that the people hava need of these improvements to transport the rich products of their labor to the market, and it argues too that they lead toward good, thriving anil reliable markets. It is an undeniable fact that no good market can long exist without good roads. Therefore it behooves ever neighborhood and market place, to see to it, that they provide such roads. Nebraska naturally possesses the climate and soil to provide herself with these important improvements, if the effort is in any reasonable degree made. But the fact that nature and climate, have done so much for us in providing good natural roads, has led us to become in clined to let nature do it all, and the consequence is we often find a portion of our roads impassable at some seasons of the year. Inclination is so strong to let nature keep tho roads in repair, too, that when we are called out to work on the roads, if we come at all, we come simply to kill time and relieve ourselves of the three dollars of poll tax and little prop erty road tax, (if we have any), and those who have no property are warned out by the overseer to work their poll tax. can and do let the road overseer whistle for their road labor, for there is no law in Nebraska that compels road labor and road tax is a farce, unless the person has property whereby his poll tax can tiecome a lien. The person who has no property has no poll tax that can be col lected uy law. jne consequence is, we loose hundreds of dollars of work that should be supplied to make good roads. The labor in this case is not only lost to the roads, but the cost and expense of notification and delay on the part of me overseer is aiso lost. The records of our county and towns show hundreds of dollars lost of labor or poll tax, and will so continue until we enact new laws in reference to the col lection of road tax. The records of county and towns will also show that the bills of road over seers are from thirty to seventy-five dol lars each year for service as such officer. The amount exceeding the lawful amount of the overseer (which is $30 a year), is put in, in the shape of extra labor, while the amount of labor-tax due and assessed in each road district does not exceed more than from $75 to $125 perhaps, which fact shows that it takes one-half our labor tax to collect the other half, and then t cannot be collect ed under our laws, for the reason above stated viz, that labor-tax is not compul sory, unless the person taxed has proper ty whereby labor-tax can and does Iie come a lien. All labor or road tax should be collected in cash, by garnishee of wages or property, and the money ap plied on road work, let by contract to the lowest and liest bidder. It has been proven time and again, that from two to four times as much work is done on a road, under contract, in a given time, at a given cost, as is usually performed by taxed labor in a given time and at a given cost. It usually takes from one to four notifications by the road overseer, to get the road labor to work out his labor-tax, and then, after he has notified them the fourth time they will tell him, perhaps, that they have not time to work on the roads and they perfer to pay the road tax in money when they pay their property tax, so the poor overseer can goand do the work himself and put in a bfll for extra work, or, let the work go undone, as is frequently the case, for he is often unable to work,and if he does work, he does it at a great disadvantage and with poor results, for he has no- money to hire able-bodied men and teams, so at best it is onlv a makeshift. at large cost and with poor results. Whoever has filled the office of road overseer in Nebraska can appreciate the siturtion. Woodville. A fanners' alliance was organized on the Bearer Friday night, with the fol lowing officers, president, Geo. J. Clark, secretary, D. L. Clark; treasurer, S..T. Ellis.

In a recent article in the Youth's Com panion, on "how to cure a cold," the writer advises a hot lemonade to be tak et at bed time. It is a dangerous treat ment, especially during the severe cold weather of the winter months, as it opens the pores of the skin and leaves the sys tem in such a condition that another and much more severe cold is almost certain to be contracted. Many years constant use and the experience of thousands of persons of all ages, has fully demonstrat ed that there is nothing better for a severe cold than Chamberlain's. Cough Remedy.
