Van Wvck i'h talked of us the choice of the alliance of the west for vice presi dent in IKfcl Eiootekx deaths from typhoid fever have recently occurred at Dulnth, and the fever continues unabated. Three hundred Indians were en camped Monday JJfi miles southwest of Ord, making for the bad lands of Dakota. SnoRT IJclt the leading hostile chief, has declared that he would take Pine Bidge agency, if it cost every warrior he had. The National Farmers' Alliance will hold its annual meeting at Omaha, Jan. 27-28. Ten states will have representa tives in attendance. Vincent Tnoaoon, the eleven-year-old son of V. Toogood of Crete, broke through the ice on Walnut creek Tues day while skating and was drowned. Gen. F. E. Spinner, ex-treasurer of the United States, died at Jacksonville, Wednesday evening. The body was taken Friday to Mohawk, N. Y., for burial. The Emperor William did not send the usual New Year's greeting to Prince Bismarck, and this bit of intell: i! travels under the head, "Bismarcn Snubbed." Dodoe county, having sent tho largest delegation of teachers to the state asso ciation, received tho banner, and on their return to Fremont an ovation nt the court house. It was reported Sunday from Gordon, Neb., that heavy cannonading was heard about ten miles from that placo and that a battle was in progress. There is no confirmation of the report. L. Shewster, a brakoman on the B. & 51., walked off a broken train at Oreopo lis Tuesday night and was horribly crushed under tho wheels of the last section. Death was instantaneous. A babber who has been working Gene va for some time under the name of George Casey was arrested Tuesday night by officers from Lincoln and taken to Lincoln, where an officer from Iowa awaits to take him back to Palmer for disposing of stolen goods. At Grand Island, Tuesday a farmer living near Abbott, Hall county, was lodged in jail charged with assaulting his fourteen-year-old daughter. The complaint was made by hi6 wife, aud in the trial the daughter's testimony cor roborated the complaint According to the trade statistics published Friday at London, 28,000 worth of Sheffield cutlery was exported during the last quarter as against 74, 000 the previous quarter. This decrease is stated to bo owing to the workings of the new United States tariff. N. Holderness brought in one of his fruit trees, early in the week, to show what sad havoc the rabbits are doing in his orchard. The tree is completely girdled, and he says his orchard, that would soon be in bearing, is nearly ruined. Rising Independent. Sunday afternoon. Gen. Forsythe, who had charge of the Seventh regiment when the disastrous attempt at disarm ing the Indians was made, was relieved of his command by instructions from Washington, pending an investigation, so says a dispatch from Pine Bidge. Wili. Thayer be governor? seems to be now the interesting conundrum of Nebraska politics. If the present in cumbent should hold until his successor is elected and qualified, and Boyd, the supposed successful candidate, shall prove not to be eligible to the office, and therefore not elected, there is no vacan cy, and Thayer remains governor. Eicxa Abbott, the celebrated, pop ular American diva, died at Salt Lake, Utah, Monday morning. Last Wed nesday evening she appeared in the theater, but her singing was un natural and many times intercepts l" coughing. Thursday symptoms o pneumonia developed, which ended in her death. She leaves an estate of $4,000,000. The Teachers' association at Lincoln last week was largely attended, and the exercises, in the main, of a high charac ter. The association was divided into sections, such as the college, the high school, common 6chool, superintendents, etc which met separately in the fore noon and discussed questions in their special line of work. In the afternoon general sessions were held. The range of work was thus very wide. Don Baker, a half-witted, unmar ried man of Beatrice, who had for years lived alone in a hut, was found Tuesday of last week lying on his bed, with a fearful gash in his throat, midway be tween his chin and collar-bone, and the blood oozing from his throat. As 6ome money, which he is known to have had and a quantity of valuable clothing, are missing, it is supposed he was murdered. The character and habits of the man precede the theory of tuictds. The Legtelatmre. A majority of the members elect have been present at Lincoln several days. The candidates for president pro tem of the senate are Collins of Gage and Stevens of Lincoln county. Thos. Cook wishes to be chief clerk of the house. Dech, independent candidate for lieutenant governor, is reported as say ing that Boyd's "inauguration would be an usurpation of power not allowed or contemplated by the constitution. He cannot be inaugurated until the legisla ture shall have investigated the election and it cannot do so except as a jury with testimony before it." Boyd's friends claim they control the votes of eight independents in favor of seating Boyd as governor. Sunday evening's train brought Hon. James E. Boyd, from Omaha to Lincoln. It is learned from citizens at Lincoln last week, that the independent state candidates expect to be asked to admin ter the affairs af the state the next two years. There seems to be no unusual excite ment at Lincoln. The city is growing at its usual rapid pace, and the great new hotel will soon be a fixed fact. It does seem as though the way to build up a particular portion of a city, (not too far away from the center), is to erect the best hotel in that particular portion. Senator Stanford's Scheme. In reading the bill introduced by the Unitod States senator from California, we see two very serious defects. The first is that he makes a separate and de preciated currency to loan on lands, putting in an exception clause as fol lows: "Except interest on the public debt and in redemption of the national currency." This is the very essence of bad financiering, added to injustice to the farmer. Today with all the adverse legislation heaped upon us, we can bor row money upon our real estate from every foreign lender, money good for any and every purpose. Now when wo borrow money from ourselves upon se curity held good the wide world over, to offer us a depreciated currency is next door to an insult. Money we want, not without security that is good and suffi cient, but we want no two classes of money. No poor man's poor money. Money based upon real estate is just as good as gold, and no other kind will sat isfy the farmer, who proposes to come to the front aud make a vigorous kick for his recognition financially with the best, the very liest. The next defect of a serious character occurs in the clause "And the word per son shall include corporation as well as natural iiersons." Now the farmer wants no corporation owners of lands ;.i will have none. Our law must have a proviso for the encouragement of small farmers. No loan going to other than actual farmers, and no loan to one per son upon more than one section, possi bly much less, certainly never more. Our farmers nre not political financiers, but we are getting our business eye upon this question nnd do not propose to tako a defective, one-eyed, spavined, old plug at par. We want an ample currency based upon the earth, so it will stand good for every dollar's worth of production or indebtedness in all these United States and we want it ex actly on the same terms the United States bankers have had it Call it what you please, politically, morally, re giously or in any other way, but give us an even show in the world, financially. One law, one money, one way of getting it from the government, for all, and the farmer im the front rank every time. Hear us now. Looking Glass. THE NEXT LEGISLATURE. 8oggf stlons to oar Icbraka SUtenati, Cost piled from oar State Excause. The fight against the saloon and brewing business of the country may soon assume a new shape inasmuoh as a move has already been inaugurated to have the cash received from saloon li censee go to the general school fund of the counties instead of to the general school fund of towns in which the sa loons are located. In order to do this, there will of necessity be an amend ment to the state constitution but the legislature to meet at Lincoln next week may see fit to submit this question for the consideration of the people. The Tribune has often wondered why the country districts voted so largely to perpetuate the saloon when it is known that not a cent of the money derived from license goes to the people of the rural districts, while the people of the country contribute a share toward the support of the saloons, they incidentally contribute a share toward the support of the towns in which the saloons are loca ted. If the coming session of the legis lature submits any question to a vote of the people this is likely to be one of them. David City Tribune. Two Kansas Women. A woman 80 years old has farmed near Notawake with continuous success. Her place is small, yet she makes money and gives liberally to the needy. She never leaves her farm except to attend the meetings of a woman's suffrage society. A Hiawatha woman who has a hus band helpless from rheumatism has kept him and a large family of children by directing work on an eighty acre farm. She is a zealous worker in both church and Sunday school, and says she owes no on cent. Her farm and buildings are in better shape than those of her J more fortunate neighbors. Ex. In a census bulletin just received from Washington, we note the population of the United States in 90, 62,622250 as against 50,155,783 in '80 and 38,55871 in 70. Nebraska for 1890, 1,05810; for 1880, 452,402; for 1870, 122,993. The number of white persons in Alaska is not included in the sum total of inhabi tants in the United States, as the census of that far-distant country has not yet been taken. New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Missouri head the states; Nebraska, from the 30th in 1880, comes in as the 26th in order, in 1890. Bohetbxkg ought to be done to re lieve the pressure on the supreme court. It is said that the judges are now about one year behind with their work. Some-' thing might possibly be done to ex. pedite business, anyhow, giving them less to do, or rendering them assistance so as to keep the machine moving at a livelier rate. Nothing should be done, however, to lower the standard of integ rity or ability, in those' who sit on our supreme bencfe. There are several cases of diphtheria in town, but so far as we have learned there are none considered dangerous. Every precaution is being used to quar antine the cases by the board of health, and parents and other members of the families are not allowed to leave the house without changing clothing, an extra suit being kept away from the premises for that purpose. There is one case in the family of Otto Underberg, one each in George and Mont Wheeler's families, one at Ed. Tramp's, two at John Creamer's, and Mrs. James Bussey is also down with the disease. By rigid quarantine kept up for several days yet and the free use of disinfectants, it is hoped and thought that the disease will not spread any more. Mont Wheeler's baby died this morn ing. Madison Chroniole, Dec 31. The latest from Lincoln, just before we go to press is that the independents have selected Elder of Clay county, as speaker and Paynter of Boone as pres ident of the senate; that the program is that when the two bodies meet con jointly, an objection will be raised to deolaring any one elected governor, but upon motion will defer such announce ment until the charges, specifications and evidence have been heard in joint convention. They claim eight to ten majority on this program. Tariff Plctarw. New York Press: Great Britain's iron exports to the United States for November, 1889, were 47,211. tons. The McKinley bill went into effect in the meantime, and in November, 1890, they dropped to 40,862 tons. NEBRASKA NOTKS. The three-year-old son of Chas. Ilager near Davenport was horribly scalded in a tub of lioiling water Wednesday, one lad pushing another into the steaming water, all the body being immersed ex cept the head and feet. He died twelve hours afterward in great agony. The burned flesh fell from his body in chunks and the lones were laid bare in places. Burt May at Fremont shot Joseph Hicks, both about twelve years of age, Wednesday night; the bullet struck the cheek bone and glanced down into the neck, whence it was cut out by doctors. They with two other boys had been playing together, when May and Marr retired to the house. The other tmys were walking on stilts on the outside of the window, and it would seem that May thought the pistol (32 caliber) was not loaded, and snapped it to scare the boys, but with the result of leaving a scar on his playmate. James Mclntire, a one-armed collec tor at Nebraska City, was held up Wednesday evening and robbed of $65 and valuable papers. He was uncon scious when found. At Lyons, Wednesday, F.O. Eckleen's large store building, occupied by Nath onson & Bubin with a stock of goods valued at $8,000 to $10,000, with an in surance of 55,000, was burned. No in surance on the building. CHSISTMAS AMONG ORANGE GROVES. Hew i'arlatmas Looks to a Nebraska Maa la Koatkera California. For weeks the show windows have been gay with tempting articles for the holidays, but for the most part, of a character quite different from those we see in our northern cities. No furred gloves and overshoes; no sleighbells and warm robes; no mufflers or skates or coasting sleds, but such things as you would want to seleot from did Christ mas coma in June instead of December. Last-night the churches were filled with the children and their friends, and the entertainments were not unlike oursfon such occasions, except their Christmas trees bore different fruit, and instead of the orthodox Santa Clans in his furred robes and frosted beard, ushered in by jingling bells, they have improvised a sort of tropical Santa Claus. ' The genuine old fellow has been tried, but where the jingle of sleigh bells is never heard nor the coat of fur ever seen, where snow is unknown except as seen from the distant mountain tops, and where flowers are blooming in the streets on Christmas day, he was thought out of place. But the children looked rather incredulous upon the new-fangled St Nick, and -I doubt if the bogus fel low ever satisfies at least the present generation of boys and girls, most of whom were born on the frosty plains of Nebraska or Iowa or in other northern states. At one of the churches they had a novel admission fee. Neither child, woman nor man, could gain entrance without depositing a good sized potato. The result was a big pile of tubers. Where the needy people are they were gathered for, I'm sure is more than I can tell. There is the least appearance of poverty in Riverside of any place I ever saw. The day has been perfect, even for a southern California day. As on most of these midwinter days, a little fire in the early morning is comfortable. A light overcoat, if riding, but none if walking. Later in the day neither is needed. I write in the afternoon sitting by the open window with no fire. Ladies on the street carry sun shades, and if any wraps they are mostly carried on the arm. In the ornamented borders along the fronts of the orange groves are roses and geraniums in great variety in full bloom. The plots in front of the cot tages snuggled in among the loaded orange trees are bright with flowers. This morning I passed one yard where a nook entirely covered with calla lilies occupied several square yards. Its wealth of beauty made me exclaim aloud. Think of a dozen or more of these beauties in bloom in the front yard on Christmas day, you who are carefully nursing a potted calla in your heated conservatory or by your big base burner. My little stove is not exactly adapted to preparing roast turkey, but I found in the market enough else to make a very good bachelor's dinner, of wbioh a dish of strawberries just from the vines was not the least enjoyable. They were not little, poor, puny, unseasonable look ing, nor insipid from the hot house, but great, luscious berries that looked as though they had forgotten it was De cember instead of Jane. The streets have been almost deserted since noon, but now at midafternoon, the family dinners over, the bright sun shine, the soft delicious atmosphere and the perfect roads begin to bring, the people out Besides, the eastern mails have just been distributed. This people almost without exception, have been transplanted from New England, the middle states and the great northwest, within a few years. The social Christ mas has especially reunited many of the friends left behind, and messages from them are today more eagerly than usual ly sought. The city is not compact like commercial and manufacturing towns, but scattered over many square miles of territory, and nearly everybody rides. There are no paved streets but the roads are almost as perfect as the noted as phaltnm streets of Santa Barbara, and I oan imagine no more interesting drives than through these avenues, lined with the palm, the pepper, the eucalyptus, with their foliage as green as at mid summer, for scores of miles between orange groves, now most gorgeous with with thin, yellow foliage, and the whole community seems to bo in carriages this lovely afternoon. My window looks down from opposite the post office and it is interesting to watch the occupants of tho vehicles as they stop for the day's mail. Here comes an odd rig, genuine Eng lish, with its two high seats, back to back, the hind one having only a foot board for the feet, which is turned up when not occupied. Had it tho liveried driver and footman, one would think both rig and occupants had just started out of Hyde Park, London. Young John Bull in knoe breeches, hands the lines to one of the ladies and steps down for the mail, a man more perfect in physiquel've seldom seeu.He returuswith a handful of letters, the large, square envelopes which indicates that they are from across the water, and tosses them to tho ladies. Though this man looks to be scarcely 30, he has been sent here to manage the improvement of a tract of fruit land in which an English syndi cate has invested over half a million of English money. Most of tho equipages are comfortable, usually with light sunshade top. Sel dom a close carriage. Many fine horses but in the hundreds I've seen today not one vehicle was gaudy or pretentious, and not one with liveried attendants. Charles Dudley Warner in a recent Har per's Monthly did the Kiversiders an in justice by picturing a snob, driving a tandem team as the most conspicuous object on their noted magnolia avenue. The absence of just that sort of thing is more conspicuous here than any place of like wealth I was ever in. It is all a very pleasant and interesting sight, but I have to stop and argue with myself to realize that it is Christmas day. Ami this is not an ex ceptional mid-winter day in these south ern California towns. December h;is been nearly full of them. Two or three times heavy rains, some of them contin uing two or three days, but when they stopped the sun came out brushed the drippings from the flowers, and they only shone the brighter, and the smooth, deep green leaves of the orauge trees seemed to have had a rebnrnishing. In a day or two the roads were dry and the driving as fine as ever. The foothills and parts of the valleys not yet reached by the irrigating ditches that have lain brown and dry all summer are taking on a green tinge and the new sown barley is pushing through tho mellow surface. This is a true picture of mid-winter in southern California, in spots at least, and the question constantly comes up, why should not a good many more exchange the storms and bitter cold of the north for the luxury of living where such con ditions as these oan be depended upon? The' answer comes plain and simple because these conditions which produce the finest oranges in the world will not produce the best men and women. These wonderful developments and en terprises carried on here in these later years are the work, almost without ex ception, of men bred in the rigorous cli mate of the north. And if continued in in the future, as they certainly will be, it will net be by children born and rais ed here, but by the continued addition of brain and nerve from the north. We may abandon the severe conditions of our northern homes, but by doing so, I'm quite persuaded that we necessarily abandon the conditions that produce the men who move the world. J. H. Reed. Washington letter. From oar regular correspondent. Secretary Noble and Commissioner Raum have both endorsed the bill, which has been favorably reported, to reduce the attorney's fee for obtaining an in crease of pension to 82, and it now looks as though the bill would become n law, in spite of the determined opposition of the pension attorneys. U. S. Treasurer Huston has, at the urgent request of the president, with drawn his resignation, which has been in Mr. Harrison's hands for some time, and consented to retain his position during the remainder of the adminis tration. The latest move of the anti-Cleveland democrats is the starting of a boom for Hon. Wm. B. Morrison (Horizontal Bill), at present a member of the inter state commerce commission. Repre sentative Sayers of Texas, who is filling the position of wet nurse to the boomlet indulges in the rainbow prediction that Mr.Morrison could not only carry all the doubtful states, but Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan besideaThere's no tariff on talk, and Mr. Sayers might have includ ed the entire Union just as well, and with just as much foundation. Senators Shoup and McConnell of Idaho, are expected here the latter part of this week or the first of next. Their coming will raise the membership of the senate to 88, and the republican vote therein to 51. It is stated here that both the new seuators favor free coinage, and also that they will both vote for the cloture rule and for the election bill. I understand, from a source that has always proved trustworthy, that a ma jority of the house committee on rules favor making a favorable report to the house on the resolution recently offered providing for an investigation of the charges that twenty-seven representa tives and senators were members of pools formed to speculate in silver bul lion while the silver bill, which became a law at the last session of congress was pending, and that such report will be made in a few days. Mr. Ryan, our minister to Mexico, will return to his duties in a few days, and I violate no confidence in saying IU1V US UI Vl WJVU UIU1 UM UWUUV I tonj m to hit Uov of action, io promot-1 ing reciprocity between this country and Mexico. The president and Mr. Blaine are both very much interested in this matter, and are prepared to go as far as they can without conflicting with tho protection of American industries. Secretary Proctor's family had a nar row escape Saturday afternoon. They had just left a large double sleigh to go into a store, when the horses in some manner became frightened and ran away, smashing the sleigh to pieces and badly injuring the driver. The runaway team was recognized by many peoplo as Secretary Proctor's and a rumor was soon flying around town that the sec retary, Mrs. Proctor and their two boys had been killed. There was the wildest excitement until it was learned to untrue. The nomination of Judge Brown o. Miohigan, to succeed the late Justi Miller of the supreme court, grows in favor as the people learn more of that gentleman, and the president has beon the recipient of many congratulations on his good judgment in making the selection. For The Jocbnal. Religion. "Tis reUgion that can icivo Bweeteat pleManrea while wo live; Tis religion can supply Bweeteet pleasures when we die." A lady said to Mr. Wesley: "If you knew that you wero to die tomorrow night at twelve o'clock, how would yon spend the intervening time?" "Just as I intend to now," he replied; "I should preach nt Gloucester this evening, at Tukesberry tomorrow, meet tho so cieties in the evening, then repair to the house of my friend who expects to entertain me, converse and pray with the family ns usual, retire to my room at ten o'clock, commend myself to my heavenly father, lio down to rest, and wake up in glory." Similar to that were tho foelings of Dr. Watts. He Baid: "I bless god that I can lio down with comfort at night, not being anxious whether I wake in this world or another." And Talmage says: "There is no life on earth so happy as a really Christian life." And we know that is so, and that we can all enjoy this glorious religion if we will. Not because we are worthy, but because "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son. that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." N. D. II. W.

No improvements have been so mark ed, so signally perfect in attainment in the last few years, as the numerous lux uries which have been introduced in i trans continental travel. Instead of liar- j rowing recollections the tourist now hasi left to him when his journey is complet ed, a charming memory of perfect train service and palace dining cars.
