French physicians urge that the Koch remedy neither Imj decried nor over praised. They say that no patient treat ed in France has lxen cured, and that the remedv is still shrouded in mvsterv.

Josephine Extine, near Moreo Bluff, was arraigned before Judge Homer, charged with disturbing a school and whipping the teacher. Tho judge found her guilty and fined her S25 and costs; she refused to pay, aud now languishes in jail at Wahoo. One day last week 6now fell at Del Bio, 150 miles west of San Antonio, Texas, to tho depth of about five inches. This was tho deepest snow on record there, and the first in four years. The etorm was general, and from Del Bio east, brought rain. The bouso at its evening session Fri day passed the bill granting a pension of 850 a month to General Franz Sigel, acd one of S100 a month to General N. P. Banks. The passage of the latter was greeted with general applause on both 6ide8 of the house.

Nebraska City, having leen troubled greatly of late by the small-loy nuisance. Mayor Ireland has given instructions to his police to run them in if found out after 8 p. in., without good and sufficient excuse. If enforced, such an order would not 1k out of place in several of the numerous cities in Nebraska, where the boy is inclined to be a rowdy sit night.

An ex plosion was heard, a man was found near the safe, burned beyond recogni tion, and it is thought he may have been a burglar, and exploded his powder before he was ready. Loss 812,000, in surance $6,000. The present legislature gives siueere evidence that it means to cut down leg islative expense; from IS janitors at the last session to 8 now is a jump, as also from 19 to 12 clerks, and in these two items alone there is a saving of $4,500. Keep on in that line, and any little, un intentional mistakes of political policy will not count for much with the tax payers. The Bee says that during the past two years $190,000 of Douglas county money was expended on roads, a comparativclv small portion being spent in the cit. proper, yet the taxpayers of the city paid $136,000 of this sum, and abutting property paid one-half the cost of the work undertaken within the city limits, the city thus payirig four-fifths of the cost of the county roads. Monday McFaruujd, a negro barber of Lincoln, has confessed that, under an offer of $20,000 by Mrs. Sheedy for doing the deed, he assassinated Sheedy. Harry Walstrom, a young dude, a resi dent of Buffalo, N.

Mrs. Sheedy is aleo under arrest and guarded at c private howe. tfaHaaEHMBfiaMdaasaaaiBaiMitfiiii The Isilatiirr. special committee has been appoint ed to draft a bill appropriating 100,000 for the relief of western sufferers.

Brcderson a joint resolution request ing congress to take such action that all railroads and telegraph lines shall pass into the possession of government. A memorial from the commissioners of Webster county recites that it is impos sible to comply with the requirements of law in handling public funds, and sug gests that the legislature provide for "public depositories looking to the safety of all public funds, and securing at tho same time such interest on all public funds as are necessarily kept on hand for any length of time." Senator Switzler has made several efforts to secure the expunging of rep resentative Shrader's resolution: Bcsolved, That the senate and house of representatives, in joint convention assembled, hereby enter their protest against the action of the supreme court in usurping to itself the authority vested in this joint convention under tho con stitution of the state of Nebraska. Of course the independents were against him and polled 17 nays against 14 yeas. Senator Hill has introduced a bill for the Australian ballot system, a modi fied copy of tbo Indiana law. A resolution by Senator Poynter was adopted authorizing the appointment of a committee on apportionment to name judicial, legislative and congressional districts. Stevens of Platte has been appointed chairman on militia. Schelp of 1 Matte, on manufactures. An illustration of the way in which the McKinlcy bill has been misrepre sented is furnished by a well known photographer of this city." A great out cry has been raised because the McKin ley bill raised the tariff on alhumenized pajier from l.'i to ;," per cent. It has lieen said by the free trade newspapers that this would increase the cost of photograph", but no such increase has lieeu apparent. This photographer said today that before the McKinley hill be came law, albumenied paper, which was largely under the control of a com bination of three firms in New York, was sold for 38 a ream. After the bill be came law this combination put up the price to $40, and this was one of the stock arguments used by the democrats in the last campaign. The photographer exhibited a letter from the Scoville Ar Adams Company, of New York, one or the firms in the combination, offering to sell albumenizcd paper at &U a ream, or S4 less than the price before the law took eifeot. This is the result or home eompe'"tioii. Twenty years ago, when the C uy on albnmenized paper was ;!T ; r cent, it was all albumenized in this country and mine was imported. When tho tariff was reduced toi"i per cent and later to l.'i per cent gradually tho indus try was destroyed, so that last year tho production in this country was 1,000 reams out of 20,000 consumed. The agents of tho foreign manufacturers used every possible means to drive tho American manufacturers out of the business, even selling at reduced rates to photographers who would sign an agreement to use only the imported pa per. " It took 12,000.000 eggs to clbu menize the paper used in this country last year, niid theso eggs were all pur chased in Germany, where tho work was done at less than half the labor cost in this country. Under the McKinley bill the industry is again startinc ud in this country, and as a result albumeu paper is being offered at S4 a ream lees than the old rate. Inter-Ocean. The report of the experts pertaining to the county clerk s office from 1SS0 to 16S9 iuclusive. was by the county board referred to a eoxrtaittee to report there on at the nest meeting of the board. However this is not, as a few are pleased to call it. a shortage or deficiency, but simply tho difference between what tho experts deemed the receipts and dis bursements of tho office, without refer ence to the legal status of i he same, or which of the many different items, charges and fees Mr. Stauffer is legally accountable for to tho county. The ex perts merely found the facts, as they wero employed to do, and no more, and whether their findings in that respect aro wholly free from error is not yet de termined. The law relating to the duty of the clerk to account to tho county for certain fees and emoluments of the office has ever been and is yet vague and un settled, and varied more or less during the respective years covered by the ex perts' report. Whatever the difference may lie, if any, between Mr. Stauffer aud the county, we feel assured the matter will be amicably and equitably adjusted and that Mr. Stauffer is not guilt of any wrong doing or intentional with holding of fees from the county. We know of no man who thinks otherwise. He willingly and freely, at all times, when requested by the county I ward or experts, gave any information desired, aud in many ways assisted the experts materially in the examination in fully arriving at the facts and matters per taining to the office. The west wants protection for the manufacturing industries of which it is to be tho seat. The west is only just on the verge of its manufacturing develop ment. It would Iks hardly less than in sanity for the west, at this particular juncture, to reverse itself and help to de stroy t policy under which the manu factur.Jg industries of the east have been fco marvelously developed now Hjeu the production of raw materials and the opening of communication have caused a notable movement of transfer of manufacturing toward the west. It may be granted that the result of the protective policy has been such as to build manufacturing in many lines in the east to a strength that is self-sustaining, and that they could get along without protection. That is all very well as to those sections. But the west has manufacturing development in the main yet before it. The wcBt is just en tering upon this period, and with prom ise of grand success. For the west to turn its back upon its future and to join in a departure which would cer tainly arrest the new manufacturing movement would be simply suicidal. Sioux City Journal- Aril-Man Water. A delegation of about 20 citizens went to Springfield Sunday to investigate the great artesian well just opened up there. The depth is .7,2 feet and the pressure 03 pounds to the square inch. It is an eight inch pipe and throws a iowerful stream, making a fino mountain-like creek down the ravine to the Missouri, giving sufficient jiower for several man ufactories. The ilouring mill of Bone steel !c Turner is lieing fitted for water power from this artesian well and Sam Henderson has rented tho tail power for other purposes. The delegation could not get over the good fortune Springfield has had in this well, and two visits were made by some to see the beauty. The water as it comes from the pipe is quite warm, aud stock drink it with a relish. Niobrara's committeo have the matter under consideration and will report at a meeting to be called soon. If Niobrara takes advantage or the opportunity, while the well men aro here, she can save fiftv- cents per foot. That the town is greatly in need of firo protection goes without saying: and tho artesian well system is the cheapest and most oasily managed water supply that can be found, requiring no expensive water commis sion, engines or reservoirs. The Tyn dali, S. D., system works like n charm, and Yankton is satisfied with hers. Nio brara could utilize the direct flow for a mill power, as Springfield isdoing.which could le shut down in the event of fire. The regular supply for the mains would in no event bo lost, tho only difference being in time of fire the force would not be sufficient until the mill supply was shut down, which would bo a matter of but a few moments. Niobrara Pioneer. THK PACIFIC KOAIKS. Senator !'(' miell liitrodures a Hill for Settlemrnt. Senator McConnell has introduced a bill to provide for a settlement between the United States ami the Central and Union Pacific and certain other railway corporations which have received bonds from the government to aid in the con struction of their roads. The hill di rects the attorney general to commence proceedings in condemnation against these corporations and authorizes the president to tietail three army officers as a ltoard of appraisers to fix the value of all property lielonging to these roads. The attorney general is also to institute proceedings against all companies to for feit (barters and other privileges con ferred by the government. The secre tary of the treasury is to have prepared legal tender United States notes to the amount $2."0,tX10,OOl to lie disposed or to pay off the road's bonds and indebted ness. No payments are to lie made un til tho supreme court has rendered a decree confirming tho findings of the hoard of appraisers. The secretary of the interior is authorized to advertise within thirty days after tho investiture of tho property for a lease for fifty years of all the railways with their appurten ances and rolling stock. No bid is to be considered for nn annual rental of less than $,'1,000,000. The Nineteenth annual session of the Nebraska Fras Association will be held at Beatrice on Thursday and Friday, January 29 and 30, 1891. Arrangements are being mado to insure a thoroughly good mooting, at which the practical business interests of tho members, as well as their social pleasures, will be looked after.. Tho exercises will in cludo an address by Hon. H. M. Busli nell, of Lincoln, a poem by Mrs. Elia W. Peattie, of Omaha, and papers upon subjects of interest by some of tho lest writers in tho state. It is hoped that all members of the association and their wives will bo preeent, and that, those newspaper men who are not members will attend the meeting and join the or ganization. Tho energetic and hos pitable citizens of Beatrice promise that the association will be well entertained, and an enjoyable session may be ex pected. Aluuincm is the metal which has at tracted so much attention of late because the great(co6t of its production has been 60 considerably reduced that it promises to come into general use. "It exists in nature in the form of an oxide so refrac tory in its character as to make reduc tion in ordinary furnace impossible, aud the only means which haw been fouud available for reduction on a commercial 6cale is electrolysis. The passage of the electric current has tho effect of sepa rating the pure nietaH from the surround ing impurities, und 'he economy of tho process compared with the methods heretofore employed is remarkable." The fact of its cheap production will make possible in the near future, ma chinery that a few years ago was regarded as preposterous. Aluminum is very light and very strong. TurusnAY Gov. Thayer vacated the executive rooms at the state house and Gov. Boyd took possession. Thayer's position was that he had liecn ;:worn to exercise the functions of governor until his successor w.-w elected and qualified. So long as there was a legal question of Boyd's election or his eligibility to hold the office, the expiration of his own term had not come, but the matter having now lieen phiced with the supreme court, his rights would bo respected, and he would vacate, but do so under pro test. The abuse of Gov. Thayer for his stand in this matter has been (as all abuse is.) inconsiderate. Gov. Thayer has faults, doubtless, but among them will not 1h reckoned a disregard for law and order. An explosion of natural gas occurred at Findlay, O.. Sunday afternoon, at the hotel Marvin, killing uwo and fatally in juring three persons. Gas had been es caping and just as the leak was found, one of the dining room girls who was sweeping the floor, stepped upon a match and ia an instant an explosion occurred which wrecked the building. The force of the explosion put out the fire. Tho whole city was rocked as if by an earthquake. Many years practice has given C. A. Snow & Co., solicitors of patents, at Washington, D. C, unsurpassed success in obtaining patents for all classes of in ventions. They make a specialty of rev jected cases, and have secured allowance of many patents that had been pre viously rejected. Their advertisement in another column, will be of interest to inventors, patentees, manufacturer, and all who have to do with patents. The Telegram quotes approvingly Col. Bob. Crockett of Arkansas, the eloquent grand - son of famous Davy, an expre: siou made by him in a speech at a cele bration of democratic victories last fall, as follows: "We live in the grandest country the sun ever shone upon. We have moun tains so high that we can stand upon their cloud-capped teaks and tickle the feet of democratic angels in heaven; caverns so deep that we can go down in their cavernous depths and hand chunks of ice to our republican friends in hell." It is no wonder that Col. Bob. died within a few months afterwards. We would not lie so unkind as to suggest that Col. Bob. has realized that he was mistaken in his locating of the two, different political parties. Ik congress can do anything to en courage ship-building by our people, and commerce with other nations, surely con gress ought to do that thing pretty quick. We learn that a strong lobby is at work at Washington in favor of the foreign steamship companies to defeat the bill to increase the American mer chant marine engaged in foreigu trade. There is nothing marvellous about this as it is said these foreign companies would be heavy losers should the bill become a law. Let it be understood that those who wish to reap the business benefits to be secured in this country should bring here, themselves, their other interests be of us, work with us. and 6hare the general prosperity. The Terrible Indian Wa1 Now in progress, excites univ tention, and a history of tho t events connected with it will be sought after. Tho .outerprisin Ushers, S. S. Scranton & Co., Hartford, Conn., have in preparation and will issue as soon as possible after the decisive battle, a work of alxnit ,rHh) pages, by W. Fletcher Johnson, author of "Johnstown Flood," giving a graphic sketch of Sit ting Bull, tho medicine man. and the leading chiefs, and a complete richly il lustrated history of the whole terrific struggle. Agents should write at once to the publishers, who give lilieral terms and pay freight. Ik now this little brush with the red man is over, let the U. S. authorities set out from this on to find work for the In dian. It must result in this eventually if the Indian is to lieof any good to him self or his country, but it is no small problem. One editor suggests that a goodly number of the braves could lie used by Uncle Sam as soldiers: lieing natural-lwirn fighters, they would take to the life of a soldier at once; as herders and ranchmen another class might do well: when they get further along in the arts or civilized liTe, they would take more kindly to agricultural and other pursuits. There is no salvation, how ever, for them or any other people, with out work. Tariff Pictures. New York Press: Neither the tin-plate nor tho tin-ore duty in the McKinley bill has gone into effect yet, but the pro vision for tho development of the tin industry has brought the price of spot tin down from 23.35 cents in September, 18IK), to 20.15 cents in January, 1891. Illinois is noted for a goodly num ber of good things, but she is just now making a record that is not very en viable. About two weeks ago at Brook lyn a man was killed with a billiard cue during a quarrel, and last Thursday morning while Ellsworth Burcham and John Belcher were playing pool a quar rel arose which ended in Burcham brain ing Belcher with a billiard cue. Washington Letter. From our regular correspondent. Twenty-three democratic members of tho Idaho legislature, who voted against senator elect Dubois, have sent a protest to the senate against allowing him to take his seat, the ground being alleged illegality in his electiou. There is no probability of any attention being paid to tho protest, as the ablest constitu tional lawyers in the senate have already pronounced the election of Mr. Dubois to be legal. Tho shipping bill still hangs fire in the house and its friends are not so confident of its passage as they were a week ago. The trouble arises from the opposition on the republican side, which numbers from twenty to thirty. The condition of the United States treasury as an unfailing barometer of the money market, and the daily in crease in the surplus shows that confi dence is rapidly returning and that money is again traveling in its usual channels. The surplus now amounts to more than SlS.000.lKH), in spite of the large purchases of silver and lioiuls which Secretary Windom is constantly making in order to put the money back into active circulation, and it will not bo surprising if proposals for the pur chase or 4 per cent bonds- only 4'., per cent lionds are now purchased are shortly issued by the treasury depart ment. The senate committee on foreign rela tions has reported in favor of the United States guaranteeing 8100,000,00(1 of bonds to be issued to complete the Nic aragua canal. The committee says in its report that this would be the most economical method of protecting the in terests of tho people of this country in the canal. Representative Anderson of Kansas, has introduced a resolution requesting the interstate commerce commission to investigate the western railroad agree ment and report to congress. Secretaries Noble and Proctor are in perfect accord on the Indian question and all reports to the contrary are sensa tional fabrications, without foundation. Happy Hoosicrs. Wm. Timmons, postmaster of Idaville, Ind., writes: "Electric Bitters has done more for me than all other medicines combined for the bad feeling arising from kidney and liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place, says: "Find Electric Bitters to be the best kidney and liver medicine, made me feel like a new man." J. W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whether he lives or dies." He found new strength, good appetite and felt just like lie had a new lease on life.
