The crowd still continues to arrive at Pierre, S. D., to locate public lands. Gen. Morgan has been confirmed as Indian commissioner, by a vote of 28 to 16. Kearney voted last week $75,000 bonds for the Kearney & Black Hills railroad company. The senate bill providing a territorial form of government for Oklahoma passed the U. S. senate last week.

The St Ignace ice crushing boat is about four miles north of Mackinaw City, Mich. At Atchison, Kas., retail merchants have organized to secure the resubmis sion of prohibition. The city has many joints and drug stores which sell whisky and beer by the drink and in defiance of law, but no revenue comes from them.

Another Fearful Butchery of Ajpd, De feaxelem People. Allen Jones, aged 71 years, and his wife, aged 58, were found dead Friday morning on the Pinney farm three miles west of South Omaha. The body of Mr. Jones was found buried about two feet in a manure pile by the cow barn; the body of the old lady was under nn old hay stack. The murdered couple had no enemies, and their son testified that they had but $2.50. The beauty of the old lady's face and the patriarchal appearance of the old gentleman excited universal comment. There is no doubt the bodies were hid nway after the murder. Mrs. Jones's wounds extended entirely through her hotly, her heart being cut completely in two. Mr. Jones had six wounds in the ttack; the cuts were of the dagger pat tern. Thursday night, Feb. 6, a stranger, giving his name as Neil, called at a liv er' stable in South Omaha to secure two horsemen to go out four miles into the country, Wednesday morning, to drive in some stock, saying he would be there promptly at seven. On the way out he said to the men whom he had em ployed, that he had been batching it all winter but was going to sell out and go east to his folks. In trying to sell the stock he had some trouble, as suspicion was aroused at the low figures he offer ed. The two men, Theodore Mott and Jerry Dee, who assisted to drive in the stock, were immediately arrested, also Henry Martin, who worked on the farm some time ago. Martin said he didn't know the murdered people and has not been there since he worked on the place. Martin's brother, Jesse, was arrested at Fremont on a charge of complicity, to gether with another man. Neil, a hard case resident of Council Bluffs, is supposed to be the murderer. He is known to be the man who sold the stock. Occasionally there is a little dry fun among congressmen, and to get at the real cream of the jokes the reader must view the matter from the standpoint of the congressman. For instance: the ob structionists have not been pleased with Speaker Beed'a method of counting them present when they were present and didnt want to be so counted, and so they have had all manner of things to say of Tom Beed, because he wouldn't allow them to play the game of "now you see us and now you don't." Mr. Caruth of Kentucky, for instance, said he and his democratic colleagues had discovered "general parliamentary law" was an autocrat, was a tyrant, was a god. "The speaker was omnipotent, yet lack ing in one of the attributes of omnipo tence; he was not the same yesterday, today and forever. He had thought there must be some defect in the speak er's vision which enabled him to see a democrat when he sat in the chair, bnt which would not permit him to see a democrat when he was standing at full height, claiming recognition. He had come to the conclusion that the speaker should be dosed with CoL Mulberry Sel lers' eye water externally, internally and eternally." The Oaalu Jury Bribers Confess Before the Court. The case of the men indicted for at tempting to bribe the Cronin jury was called Wednesday morning before Judge Waterman. The four remaining defend ants plead guilty. The court called them up and told them what they were liable to in case he enforced the full penalty of the law, bnt said that he would hear ev idence to determine what mitigating or aggravating circumstances there were. The work of selecting a jury was then begun. Public interest in the case has greatly lessened since the flight of Gra ham, who is supposed to have been near the head of the conspiracy. A Chinese syndicate is represented in this country by agents who are nego tiating for a 300 stamp mill, which, set up, will cost $4,000,000.

In explaining to a Bee correspondent the force of the resolutions recently in troduced by him in the senate, Mr. Paddock said: "I cannot see how any construction of my resolution offered in the senate can be made which would place me, as at present, an advocate of the repeal of the short and long haul clause. My in tention in introducing this resolution, which seems to have created a stir, was purely to secure information as to the truth of the charges made, namely: That excessive freight rates are responsi ble for the deplorably low prices for farm products in our state. To quote Mr. Cleveland: 'It is a condition, not a theory, wfnen confronts us.' lucre is no question of the excessive lowness of prices in Nebraska, a great agricultural state, with an industrial and frugal pop ulation. I am anxious to ascertain the cause, and have brought the matter lie fore the senate so that it may be official ly investigated, and in order that when the cause is ascertained a proper remedy may be applied. I am frank to say that when the interstate commerce law was passed I feared that the long and short haul clause would afford a temptation. at least to the railroads, to increase the long haul rates. Since the passage of the law the increased rates to the sea board from onr section of the country seems to justify that apprehension. I am not in favor of a 'repeal of any part of the law until all parties interested have had an opportunity to be heard. I am only desirous that there shall be a full investigation to determine where the re sponsibility lies. If after such invest t gation it shall be made perfectly mani lest that the principle of the law in respect to the long and short haul clause is wrong, taking into consideration the special interests of onr section of the country most especially ana viiaiiy in terested in low rates for export products, I shall then be in favor oi the re peal of the parts shown to be odi ous. Let me say very clearly, that if the railroads alone are responsible for the present condition of affairs I will vote for more stringent measures if nee essary to restrain and control them in the interest of cheaper rates to the sea board for our products. What we need now is cheaper rates. These we must have not for today, or tomorrow, or for next year but permanently. Uur farm era are entitled to know always exactly what to expect and what to depend upon in the matter of freight rates! The reso lution which I introduced had no fur ther meaning or purpose than this. It was introduced in the interest of the producers, end if its investigation shall disclose that the temporary interests of a few may be affected as against those of the great producing classes of the state or .Nebraska by a modification of the laws, the interests of the majority must stand as much as those of a smaller number." Washington Letter. From our regular correspondent. The code of rules has been reported to the house, the majority and minority re ports presented, and the debate upon them has opened. The democrats pro pose making a large number of set speeches against them. The majority report from the committee on rules should be read by everybody, and only lack of space prevents its reproduction in full. To mutilate it by quotation is not to be thought of. Senator Morrill, chairman of the sen ate committee on public buildings and grounds, is bestirring himself to secure the legislation to have several very nec sary public buildings erected here which will save the government a tidy sum of money now annually paid out in rents. Among the buildings contemplated are an addition to or a duplication of the White House; ditto post office and in terior department buildings, and a new government printing office, which is urg ently needed in place of the present over-crowded and unhealthfnl, to say nothing of dangerous, building. Its cracked and out of plumb walls are a constant source of fear to the 2,000 or more employee who daily risk their lives in it, and it is a shame that such a building should be slowed to stand. Secretary Tracy has aged twenty years in a week. Yesterday was the first time he had seen his surviving daughter and and granddaughter since the fire. The President and Mrs. Harrison accom panied Secretary Tracy from the White House to the residence of Judge Ban croft Davis, where the meeting took place. The committee investigating the Ohio ballot box forgeries expect to finish the hearings this week, including Gov. Campbell, Murat Haktead and Bepre sentstives Butterworth and McKinley, and the testimony, while containing lit tle, if anything, that was entirely new, was at times quite interesting. A clause in the new code of -rules for the house, makes pension bills privileg ed to come up at any time. It is said that a very determined effort will be made to have the clause stricken out, but as it was put in by a vote of the re publican caucus it is extremely likely to stay there. Members of the house have long wor ried over the fact that the senators were each provided with a clerk to help them in their correspondence. The result is a bQl which has been favorably repotted to the house, providing a dark for each representative. In the senate last week the Blair edu WHITE GOODS ! AVE HAVE JUST OPENED AT PRICES FROM cational bill and the Oklahoma territory bill will probably occupy considerable time. The Oklahoma bill is being press ed by Secretary Noble, who says the present condition of affairs in that country is exceedingly dangerous. There is a rumor here that Senator Gorman is to be chairman of the demo cratic congressional campaign commit tee. If true this means a red-hot fight for the iMssession of the house, and it behooves the republicans to be on the alert. The national shipping league, which was in convention here last week, passed a resolution endorsing the Farqnhar bill for subsidizing American Bhips,on the ground that it would put our merchant marine on an equal footing with that of other nations. Written for The Jodbnu AagrK I used to think that all angels had wings, but I don't now, but maybe they will have sometime, and golden harps also. I noticed some articles in The Journal about God and the devil, and I just thought I would like to say a few words about angels wingless angels. Not long ago, having business in a dis tant city, and knowing that an old neighbor of mine who had been sick a long time lived near there, I went to visit him. He was propped up with pillows, in a large chair, and had so changed since I last saw him, that I could not have recognized him. Every thing in the room looked clean and comfortable, but betokened extreme pov erty. Said he, "I have been sick more than two years, and a few months ago we came here among strangers, and didn't know how we could get ralong; But look on the table. Oranges, lemons, fruit, jellies and everything that a sick man could wish for; all brought here by neighbors who are strangers! I call them angels." Just then his little boy rushed into the room exclaiming, "Pa, there's a man throwing a whole load of wood over into our back yard, and I told him it wasn't ours, for I heard you say this morning that you hadnt any money to buy wood with, but he just laughed and worked as fast as he could." Tears were in the sick man's eyes as he said earnestly, "More angels, God bless them all." In a few days he passed out of this life. Out in the country there lived a poor woman, (I mean poor in this world's goods), and she might a deal better have been a widow, but she wasn't Her hus band was lazy, and-what money he earn ed he usually paid out for whisky and tobacco. One day as she was trying to think what she could do to keep her children comfortable the coming winter, in came six neighboring women; each one had a basket and a parcel. It was her birthday, and they had brought their dinner in the baskets, and as she opened the parcels she found shoes, stockings, cloth for dresses and many other things for herself and children, and in one she found a gold piece. She was so over joyed that she didn't know what to say or do, so she just laughed and cried, and cried and laughed. And as she told me aliout it, I thought of the sick man's words, "I call them angels." Even small acts of kindness in everyday life, done by us to others, often give ns a warm place in their hearts. Now and then we see a person who flits around doing good just as readily as a rose emits its fra grance, bnt many of us are too neglect ful about even giving kind and cheery words to those who need them. N. D. Howe Wanzer. Baldness Facts vx. Free Trade Theories. Just now the advocate of free foreign trade finds it especially difficult to up. hold the claim that a protective tariff is a tax to be" paid by those who buy the products of the protected industry. The facts stand out in contradiction of his theory in figures so plain that he who runs can read them. With steel rails, on which there is a tariff of $17 per ton, selling at the same price in the United States as in England; while United States manufacturers, not withstanding their protection by a tariff averaging forty per cent, are selling to Canada eighty per cent of her hardware and machinery; with a suit of good serviceable clothes selling as low in Chi cago or New York as in London, not withstanding the tariff on woolens equal to fifty per cent ad valorem; with some lines of cotton goods selling for no more than the tariff charged on similar im ported fabrics; with an export trade of more that $23,000,000 worth of lumber and manufactures from wood in 1888, notwithstanding the $2 per thousand feet tariff on the former and thirty-five per cent on the latter; with all these there conies an array of facts beside which the threadbare speculations of the theorist seem as but a hill of sand. While every line of business is furnish ing such facts as these what becomes of a prominent reform apostle's contention that our tariff enhances "prices to con WITE GOODS -MM SIX CENTS A YARD sumers of articles imported and subject to duty by precisely the sum paid for such duties?" In 1889 we imported more than $20,OQOJ100 value of iron and steel manufactures, not including tin plates, which we do not manufacture. With prices so nearly equal here and in Europe, who believes that these could have lieen bought for forty per" cent less money in the absence of the tariff? It would require very little more credulity to believe that in the absence of a tariff on cotton goods English manufacturers would give us onr calicoes. Simon. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

The committee appointed by the Farmers' Union sent the following letter to the state board Monday. It speaks for itself: To the Honorable State Board of Trans portation, Lincoln; Neb. Gentlemen: As a committee appoint ed by the Farmers' Union of Platte and adjoining counties, in'convention assem bled on Saturday, Feb. 15th, it becomes our duty to call your attention to the the following resolution adopted by them: "Resolved, By the Farmers' Union of Platte and adjoining counties, that the attention of the state board of transpor tation be called to the fact that the freight on a car load of stock from Co lumbus to South Omaha, a distance of ninety-two miles, is $29, while from Co lumbus to Chicago, a distance of 590 miles, it is $50and that the said board be requested to immediately take the prop er steps to right the matter of local rates in Nebraska on a basis of justice to the stock raisers to the state." The rate on stock from Columbus to Chicago is, say, by the hundred, in car load lots, twenty-five cents. The dis tance to South Omaha being a little less than one-sixth of that to Chicago, the charge of $29 on a thirty-foot ear to South Omaha, which is our natural mar ket, is unreasonable and unjust and should be righted by your body, imme diately. Please communicate to us the earliest dsy on which you can meet us, at Co lumbus. Yours very respectfully, J. S. Fkeexan, ) G. CBakkux, -Com. E. O.Wells. ) Colnak! District 44 and Vicinity. A necktie party for the benefit of the M. E. church just north of Richland was held last Friday evening at the residence of George Hoaglaad on county line, where a goodly number of young and old enjoyed themselves hugely nnil near midnight. We did not learn the amount of the receipts, bnt suppose they were satisfactory. C. J. Wagner, one of Platte county's best teachers and who was engaged in teaching our winter school, resigned his position on the 7th inst, and on the 8th started for the mountains in northeastern Tennessee for the purpose of securing a prize (of more value to him than gold or silver), which he won recently in John son county, of the above state. Mr. W. will arrive in the city about March 1st. Mr. McGan, a cousin of Tom Johnson, arrived in the city one day last week with a car load, consisting of household goods, farm implements and stock. Mr. M. has purchased of N. Johnson, theSW 4 of section 3-17-1E which farm joins Joe Drinnin's on the west. Material is being hauled and cellar excavated where a house will be erected and occupied by his family, who will follow him as soon as the house is completed. P. W. Henrich and a general agent for a Des Moines insurance company were working in the interest of their respect ive companies, in these parts last Thurs day. Henry Engel, we are sorry to learn, is a great sufferer by an affection of the throat, being compelled to get sleep a portion of the time in a sitting posture. Fred Reed, son of J. H., has been em ployed to finish Mr. Wagner's unex pired term of school in this district, commencing Monday morning. r. The New Discovery.

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 Bemedy. It acts in perfect harmony with nature, relieves the lungs, liquefies the tough tenacious mucous, making it easier to expectorate, snd restores the system to a strong and healthy condi tion.
