Sevebe snow storms wero reported last week in England and various por tions of Europe House committee on agriculture at Washington was hearing arguments last week on "compound lard." Kentucky is keeping tip her record in fine shape. Last week six men -were killed in Bell county, alone. At the Emmet celebration held in Lincoln March 4th, S2,(KK) was raised for the benefit of the Farnell fund. The legislature of Iowa,ou March 4th, re-elected Allison to the United States senate by a handsome majority. Col. J. M. Dokaiiue, president of the San Francisco & North Pacific railroad, died at San Francisco, Cal., March 3. The secretary of the treasury has pur chased $2,000,000 in bonds, thereby re ducing the surplus to about $28,000,000. The Farmers' and Mechanics' bank building at Red Cloud, Neb., was burned the other night. Property valued at $5,000. John M. Thurston was again elected president of the republican league clubs at NashvilIe,"Tenn., amid great enthusiasm. Wassox, a saloonkeeper, killed a rail road man the other night at Valhe Sta tion, Cal., and was afterwards hanged bv a mob. Wr. have a special invitation to at tend a re-union of the Blue and the Gray at Vicksbnrg, Miss., May 2Tth to aOth. The sentiment lying at the foundation of this re-union is commendable, and we hope that the assembly will be large and that they may have a unanimously good time after the fashion of brave men who fought against each other for a principle, and who can now, twenty-five years after the controversy, come to gether and truly rejoice that ''it is as well with ns as it is.' There are, undoubted ly, a good many matters that need the attention of the country, and that must receive it very speedily if the rights of the body of the people are to lw pre served, and the sooner all old questions can lie settled settled on the basis of justice, the letter it will foe all of ns. Let the old soldiers get together and after they have considered somewhat the times of the war, let them confer with each other as to the questions now up permost this is the best way to bring the ends of the count rv together. Make present necessities, present opportunities of strengthening our liberties, present difficulties to bo overcome, the talk by day and the dream by night, sp that good men and true everywhere may not be at a disadvantage, in the struggle of life, as against the criminals whose deeds make taxes a burden, and cormorant corporations, syndicates and trusts, that, by their combinations of capital, prey upon tho community, almost without hindrance. Dr. Franklin once remarked in reply to a question, that the people wero all right in their intentions, but the trouble with them is that they are not so persistent as they ought to be, they don't continue. But people are learning, and since Franklin's time great improvement has been made in this re- spMt, The grim and forcible pun of a revolutionary patriot when signing the Declaration of Independence that "we must all hang together or we'll havo to hang separately," is just as appropriate today as it was then. much worse. Mr. Reed has two of the principal requisites to make a success ful president brains and back-bone. The memlters of the senate in their at tempts to discover where and how the newspater men get the reports of the proceedings in executive sessions are furnishing a heap of fun for the news paper men without gaining any informa tion. If all the senators attendant upon an executive session were locked up for twenty-four hours afterwards it would by perfectly safe to bet that the newspa pers of thehext day would not have the proceedings of that session. The Three Americas congress has adopted a resolution recommending the appointment of a commission to examine and report upon the feasibility of build ing a railroad to connect the three Americas, and Representative Buckalew has introduced in the house a joint reso lution authorizing the president to have an examination made and to report the result to congress. The bill providing for an assistant secretary of war has passed both house and senate and has gone to the president for his approval. HOME INDUSTRIES. Edwin Cowi.es, editor of tho Cleve land Leader, died at his home in Cleve land, Ohio, on tho morning or March 4th, aged C years. - Gov. Thatch .has appointed J. D. Stines, of Cedar Rapids, Neb., a delegate to the cattlemen's convention to be held at Fort Worth, Texas, March 11th. Mr. Sweet of Merrick county has lieen recommended for appointment as regis ter of the Grand Island land office and Mr. Hall of Scotia to bo receiver. One morning last week the large wooden structure built at Plattsmoutu, Neb., for the electrical exposition, was burned to the ground. The building' was valued at $2,000. Absconded with $60,000. William H. Poo, teller of the Louis ville City (Ky.) National bank, absconded with $00,000 of tho bank's cash in his possession. Nothing has since been heard of him. It is supposed that he is now in Canada. The bank will not be inconvenienced by its loss, which will amount to not more than $40,000, as Poe furnished a bond of $20,000. A bank robber, supposed to bear the name of Robertson, was shot and killed by officers the other morning at Meriden, Kan. Ho robbed the Valley Falls bank. In attempting to visit the officers, two balls fired at tho same moment, from Enfield rifles, took effect and closed out his wicked life. Abraham, son of Hoi it. E. Lincoln minister to England, died last Wednes day. He had been ailing for a long time and died from the effects of an operation upon him for a carbuncle under the arm. lie was in his nineteenth vear. The remains of Hon. George Pendle ton, late United States minister to Ger many, have been shipped from New York to Cincinnati, and the funeral was to take place last Saturday. Two little children of Frank Willard, 'living near Albion, Ia while playing with a can of lye, one of them got some in her eyes and mouth; her tongue and both eyes were eaten out, and she will die. Andrew Bbowdeb, a young farmer living near Albion, Neb., one day last week while up fixing his wind-mill was either knocked or fell to the ground from the mill tower, breaking both hip bones terribly. The supreme court at Washington last week confirmed the opinion of the supreme court of Mississippi, holding that the state had the power to compel railroad companies to provide within the state, accommodations for two races of people. Two state courts, and now the supreme court of the United States have passed upon the question, all agreeing in judgment. WiishiiiEton letter. From our regular iorrtpondenr. The president is understood to lie tak ing a great deal of interest in the inves tigation of the civil service commission now going on here, and there is reason to lelieve that the resignation of at least one member of the present lioard will, as a consequence, lie asked for at an early day if it is not tendered voluntari ly. Up to the time that Shidy, a con fessed perjurer and the man who was given a position in the census office here for turning state's evidence against the postmaster at Milwaukee, was put on the witness stand, Commissioner Lyman was the only sufferer, but Shidy made it plain that all three of them are in the Their IaperUace to the Geaeral Jablic tke Keanoa Why they Shoald be Sustained. In accordance with our announced purpose of giving each week, in full, one of the papers read at the recent farmers' institute, we publish this week that of D. Schupbach. Owing to the illness of Mr. S., his partner,. Jaeggi, read the pa per and answered the questions that came up, which he did in a very effective way. Ladies and Gentlemen, Farmers of Matte county, Aeo., ana Citizens of Columbus: In making out the program for your Farmers Institute, your committee had the kindness to compliment our firm as resident representatives of one of our home industries, that of milling, by allotting the necessary time to read be fore you a paper on "Support of Home Industries and Consumption of Home Products." This .subject may be a rather dry and sober one, but neverthe less it must be looked upon as one most important and timely to be brought to the kind attention of this institute. It is perfectly safe to say that nearly every town in our fertile, well-cultivated and rich state of Nebraska, assisted and en couraged by a liberal and intelligent farming community, is making extraor dinary efforts to attract capital and es tablish industries and wholesale estab lishments of all kinds in their midst, being fully aware of their great import ance. Some of these towns offer large financial aid, in the shape of a bonus; in fact they all do their utmost to get something in the shape of an industry, of which they are sure of a great lienefit, In this line cities like Omaha, Lincoln. Nebraska City, Beatrice, Hastings,Grand Island, Kearney, Fremont, Seward and many smaller ones, have accomplished a great deal. And while some are per haps booming a little beyond their natural limits and resources, still the fact is undeniable that they are live and wide-awake communities, prospering to a great extent and being fully repaid for their efforts in getting and supporting home industries well knowing that if the latter are prosperous they them selves will prosper, their city real estate and farming lands also commanding a higher range of prices, besides being ma terially benefited by creating a home market for nearly all the home products. dustries and their support here at home. nestaes our iair cuy or. uoinmnus Hav ing all the modern improvements, such as waterworks, electric lights, telephone system, street cars, and three good, wide-awake papers among them a very good daily all of whioh are worthy of, aiid Bhonld receive, our most liberal and unanimous support, we find, besides, good and well-conducted hotels, stores of all descriptions, coal and lumber yards, elevators, and the following, which might oome duly under the head of "home industries:'' One windmill factory, one creamery, one wooden shoe factory, one large and well-equipped with even thing and everybody. A sav ing, we will say, of five cents a sack to the consumer, in buying other than home- made flour, is a trifling matter compared with the corresponding de pression it helps to produce for this very wheat in a largely agricultural state, which, as a matter of course, is depend ent for its prosperityon the good price its agricultural products bring to the the producer. To illustrate what a well-patronized flouring mill can pay for wheat, I have figured out the following table to show how a good mill, that does not have to compete with everything and every body, especially in the line of cheap winter wheat flour, can do and will do: If best patent flour, per hundred, brings $2i0, wholesale, 00 cents ier bushel should be the price of wheat, in $2.30, .72 cents, $2.29, 48 cents; $2.10, 44 cents. Five bushels of wheat as it comes from the fanner's hands, equal one barrel of flour. Above prices can be paid by mills which have not been so fortunate as to be subsidized by a large bonus or bonds, with which other Nebraska points have generously equipped their mills. Your two home mills which, as said before, rank among the best, and com pletest in the state, and were built with out a cent donation from the public, asked for nothing but the good will and fair support of the public. Remember what Fnllerton did for their mill, voted $7,000 for the restoration of the water power destroyed by flood last summer! Remember the action of the business men of O'Neil! On the night following the burning of their mill they pledged $5,000, with as much more to come, to assist the proprietor in rebuilding. We say, if such mills and industries of like nature are so desirable, they are certain ly grandly worth sustaining, and par ticularly industries which were erected for the benefit of the community, free of expense to the public. Interference with their success and progress, by self ish, unwarranted and entirely out of place opposition and competition by home dealers, should not be tolerated. Both mills here use from 75,000 to" 10O, 000 bushels of home grown wheat, and have always paid a premium of from four to six cents per bushel over and above the legitimately warranted price of the Chicago market. It is easy to see the benefit of having home mills. Nebraska is not profitably situated for raising wheat. We are just between the great winter wheat and spring wheat belt, and unless our farm ers use the utmost care in selecting pure and uniform seed, our wheat never comes up to the required grade of No. 2, or the speculative grade. It is unmerci fully subjected to "down grading," no matter what its otherwise intrinsic val ue might be. On wheat and its price the home mill, if well patronized, alone can and will help out the consumer. While it must be admitted that the milling industries of Nebraska far ex ceed its consuming capacity, yet you see onr great and grand state over-run with flour from the south, shipped in under much lower railroad rates than Nebraska mills are granted by local roads for the same distance in our state, thus forcing Nebraska mills to curtail their output, run on half time or less, working not only great harm to the milling industry of our state in general, but to the infinite injury of Nebraska wheat growers, de priving them of their legitimate local and homo market. Remember that each fifty-pound sack of foreign flour con sumed in our community or state, dis places one and one-fourth bushels of home-grown wheat, thus forcing the producer to accept the price the specu lator and tho railroads are disposed to dictate. Now what is the cause of all thiB? It is, (1) lower rates in favor of Missouri and Kansas, discriminating against Nebraska mills; (2). the relative lower prices of winter wheat and winter wheat flour in the world's market. mendable and worthy of success. It is not long since a farmer belonging to the Polk county Alliance told me that his people would be satisfied if corn and oats would always bring the minimum price of 20 cents per bushel on the farm. This is a very modest desire, and every fair minded man, whatever his position in life, should use his best efforts, in a well-directed way, to bring about such results. To that end, support home industries -j-patronize your mills and other facto ries! If you enjoy a healthy glass of beer, ask for Columbus beer. Our brewery has paid, at times, almost the Chicago price for your barley. Smoke home-made cigars. If you can do as well, or nearly as well, buy your grocer, ies and dry goods of home dealers, and so on. Everything that tends to up build home industries is an encourage ment and invitation for others to come here. We need more industries from which we would derive great benefits. tremendous gorges, a massive wall of rut stone was erected for a distance of several hundred feet, and more than a hundred feet above the foundation rock.

John will devote his time to carpentering the coming summer. Tuesday seems to be an unfortunate day for singing school as Mr. Deifenbach has only been here one evening in six weeks on account of sickness and storms. Gertrude Jones commenced teaching a four months term of school in the Paulson district, on Monday last. B. S. Hick will go to the Skee Dee to work next week.

The president of the Wes'tern Union telegraph company made an argument before the house post office committee Saturday against Postmaster General Wanamaker's postal telegraph bill.

We might go further and fare broom factory, marble works, and last, but not least, two of the largest and best flouring mills in the stats. If all these things are worth having they are worth sustaining. Farmers and fellow citizens, support your home busi ness and your home industries! Stay by them! If they prosper, you will prosper, and all will receive their share of the general benefits. If all the home industries do not deal in or manufacture home products, as for instance your mills, they nevertheless all employ a smaller or larger number of men who are consumers of your products and of the goods onr business men deal in. It is therefore very plain that the more home industries we are able to get, the more consumers we will concentrate in our midst, the better our home markets will be, and the greater our prosperity and welfare. There is hardly another industry that is so closely identified with the farmer's interests and is so essential to the suc cess of a wheat producingfeonntrys the milling industry, and I hope to be ex cused, for good reason, if I draw your aina attention to this particular in dustry. flouring mill which is, by liberal and united home support, enabled to dispose very rapidly of its products at home and aitmnd hosae, will pay the producers a higher price for the wheat than it will or can pay when it is forced by indifference and Bon-support at home to throw its products on the general aarkett of the coutrr, tans competing ftl.00fi4.30 4.-Ti 4..'i0 Minnesota, iMitent i.Mi 4.75 No. 1 winter wheal, in Literpoo), per " B V Sll xo.z spring wheat, same l.t Third, and, not least, the greed of some merchants to encourage the use of for eign Hour, for their own personal gain, regardless of the permanent injury' in flicted by such a course on home indus try, and of the loss to the farmer by depressing home markets. From what you know now about the value of winter wheat and its products, and about dis criminating railroad rates, it ought to be easy for you to find a ready answer to the business men who try to injure home industry, from altogether selfish motives, by talking "high and more valuable foreign goods" to you. A fourth cause is again found, in the discrimination of tke railroads, and their greediness for getting two hauls on freight shipments, against not getting any on home manufactured and home- consumed goods. To illustrate one haul on flour from Missouri or Kansas a low rate of 28 cents per barrel and another haul, out, of five bushels of displaced Nebraska wheat; (enough to make a barrel of flour) to Chicago, 87 cents, or a total oi 1,15 per barrel. Thus each barrel of foreign flour con sumed in Nebraska makes a gross earn ing to the railroads of $1.15, and this amount is directly taken out of the pockets of the Nebraska wheat grower. It may be said, in connection with the above, that the rate on flour from Atchi son to Columbus, 220 miles, is 14 cents per hundred. The rate from Columbus to Lincoln 70 miles, or less than one third the distance ia 10 cents. What I have said is a fair representa tion of the state of affairs in our line of home industries and is probably more or less true of all others throughout Ne braska. Undoubtedly this institute and your Farmers' Union are gotten1 up for the purpose of exchanging views and experiences, as well as knowledge, to the end that legitimate means may be taken to better existing conditions. As one means to gain your point, a generous and strong; support of home industries is Moiroe. Weather cold and disagreeable, farm work not commenced. J.
