WEDNESDAY, IKUKUAUYll, IsM. Senatoii VooRnEES of Indiana is sick with rheumatism and heart disease. A stable in Boston burned Thursday morning, cremating sixty-five horse. Ohio members of the legislature favor ex-Governor Foster for secretary of the treasury. "A thousand men who Know now 10 die" are not wanted so badly as they were awhile ago. The committee on alien ownership of land found 11,000.000 acres owned by British subjects. The Nebraska congressmen-elect were recently entertained at Washington by the present ineumlents. It is estimated that the grand total of the appropriations of the current legis lature will be nearly Si0,(NM). The city poor house at Waterville, Me., was burned Thursday morning, and one inmate, a girl, burned to death. "Thebe is no other possible solution of the Indian question except that or ceasing to grow savages." Gon. Morgan. An orphanage in Moscow, Russia, was destroyed by firo Thursday morning, nine of the children being burned to death. A little more jumping around and it will become difficult to determine the party affiliation of certain United States senators. The German authorities are reported as pushing military preparations with a rapidity and earnestness unexampled in many'years. . Thebe is one consolation in the pres ent congressional situation. Democrats no lonirer have an excuse for making an extra session necessary. TnE wholesale grocery house of Tol erton Stetson of Sioux City was burn ed Sunday loss ;S200,000; insurance $110,000. Cause incendiary. It is thought that a reciprocity treaty with Spain regarding Cuba will be one of the subjects submitted at the extra Mssion of U. S. senate by tho president. Lieut. Schwatka didn't dio last week, as was reported. It was thought that by his fall down stairs he had been fatally injured internally, but he lives to drink again. The U. S. fish hatchery at Duluth received Friday from Alpena, Mich., 25, 000,000 white fish eggs. They will be planted and hatched in about three months. The largest apple orchard in the world is at Fairmont, Kas.. and from it last fall was eold 25,000 barrels at S3 on track, making S75.000 as tho proceeds of tho orchard. Last Wednesday the first bill was presented to Governor Boyd for his sig nature. It was house roll No. 90, ap propriating S5,000 for pay of members and employes. It is confidently asserted that the president will call an extra session of the senate on the 4th of March or imme diately afterward, the business to be of unusual importance. TnE apportionment bill, which passed the senate just as it came from the house, is now in tho hands of the presi dent, and will undoubtedly be a law within the next ten days. The joint resolution which passed the California state senate asking congress to enact a law providing for the govern ment loaning money on farming lands, passed the house Monday. The farmers mutual benefit associa tion of Illinois have made a proposition to fuse with the republicans on either A. J. Streeter, John P. Steele and Repre sentative Moore for U. S. senator. Bob. Inc.ebsoll says that Hill can get more votes for president in New York than any other democrat in the state. . but he thinks Hill cannot prevent the nomination of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland for president. Neab Durango, Mexico, in the old Dallas mine shaft, John Perehuiaker, the owner, has discovered what is said to be the largest and richest vein of tin known to the mining industry of the world. Mining will begin at once. Bob. Ingeesoll still declares himself in favor of Gresham as the next repub lican candidate for president. He has intelligence, integrity and courage. He might havo added that all intelligent men have confidence in him. Wheneveb a public man constantly receives "taffy" from the newspapers of the opposition party he would do well to ask himself: "In what way am I in juring his own party he wouldn't be getting the aforesaid "taffy." The legislature should give the 6ugar bounty to the farmer if it doesn't want to give it to the manufacturer. That would be something practical in the way of improving the condition of agricul ture in Nebraska. Norfolk News. Jokk F. Hewitt of Los Angeles, OaliL, has returned his pension certifi cate to the government, saying that though he was an old soldier and re ceived injuries, those injuries .have now early disappeared, and that he is able It prwept to care for himself. rve me riRU'. ui """-'""' ,7 . nv mtinu'i:iiT inctmrreoton-iurniou t. ."-.",; indent In every "5i"?:ls,:'lA ,1 cocnty, one or soo-i ??' iXruL,. tear. vtriie uiaii. - Progrem of Reciprocity. The iv.nitrv will learn with pleasure that the first practical result of the new plan of reciprocity with the southern countries of this hemisphere has been attained in an agreement consummated between the government of the United States and the government of Brazil, to take effect January 1 next. As soon as the policy of this country regarding closer trade relations with the countries of SouWi nnd Central America was formally declared, Brazil made known her friendly .interest in it and very shortly afterward her representative at Washington was instructed to enter into negotiations looking to au agree ment or treaty on the lines proposed by the United States. It would seem that little or no difficulty had been found in reaching an arrangement satisfactory to the president and secretary of state and the Brazilian minister, and it is possible that the agreement can be ratified by tho eenate at the present session, while its ratification by the Brazilian govern ment may bo regarded as almost a mat ter of conrse. The trade of the United States with Brazil is very much larger than witn any other South American conntry, but it has been very one sided. For in stance, we imported from that country in the year ending June 30, 1S90, mer chandise to the value of about 810,000,- 000, while our exports amounted to less than 812,000,000, and this about meas ures tho discrepancy against us in our commerce with Brazil for a number of vears. Meanwhile Great Britain, Ger many and France have been selling in the aggregate to the Brazilians a great deal more than they bought of them, and have leeu steadily making stronger their hold upon the commerce of Brazil, as they have upon the trade of all tho South American countries. But with the advent of the republic, which the United States was prompt to recognize, came a more friendly commercial senti ment toward this country which has since been steadily growing, and under the operation of the reciprocity agree ment just announced there cannot fail to bo a very material enlargement of our export trade with Brazil if our merchants and manufacturers make the conditions such as to command it. We canuot ex pect to wholly supplant the European countries which now send annually to Brazil merchandise of the value of up wards of $50,000,00(1. We must look for a sharper competition than ever before from those countries to hold this trade. But if our merchants and manufacturers can goto the Brazilian market with desi rable goods at satisfactory prices, can guarantee prompt delivery, and can offer equally favorable conditions with Euro peans, they will enjoy a decided advan tage in the competition, and it ought to be practicable in a few years to make our eyprts to Brazil balance our im ports from that country. At any rate there will lx insured an increased de mand from that country for our agricul tural products. The consummation of this agreement between the United States and Brazil ought to have a good effect in stimulat ing tho interest of other South Ameri can countries regarding reciprocity, and it may bo expected to. But none of them is so favorably situated as Brazil for entering into such an arrangement. The most important of them, the Argen tine Republic, is so completely under bondage to European capital that it is likely to bo many years before she can venture to make such concessions as reciprocity with the United States would require, while Chili, Uruguay and some of the others are not much better situated. Ultimately, however, they will fall into line, and the time may not be so remote as now seems probable. There have been intimations that Spain is dis posed to enter into negotiations for re ciprocity with her West India posses sions, and it is officially announced that the government of Canada desires to negotiate. It will thus be seen that reciprocity is a very live and wide reaching subject. Omaha Bee. Something should be done by the counties along the Platte river to have tho state assumo tho repair and re building, when necessary, of tho bridges over that stream. Tho work heretofore has been a very heavy burden upon those counties, nnd the bnsiness towns, an expense that should now be assumed bv the state, because tho local benefit is out of proportion small, to the outlay In 1871, while Hon. L. Gerrard was sen ator from this district, lie introduced and secured the passage of a just meas ure providing for the state assuming this expense by the appropriation of 6tate lands, but before it could be put into operation, an injunction was ob tained from the supreme court against selecting these lands until after certain railroad companies had made selections of lands donated conditionally to them, although they had not complied with the conditions, and had justly forfeited their richt to the lands. The Journal would like to see some concerted move made now bv the counties interested. North, northwest and west the storm raged; the worst blizzard that has been known in Wyoming for a number of years. hea'v losses of range stock are looked for; at Chadron, Neb., Sunday, it was snowing hard and the wind blowing a hurricane; at Sidney, equal to the blizzard of 88; at Gordon, people in town dared not go more than 100 feet from tl ir houses and H. D. Hunting ton, on of the business men, got lost ana wandered around for two hours, and but for a searching party would have perished a half mile from town; at Johns town, Neb., Sunday, the blizzard was reported as having been raging for twenty-four hours, with no signs of abating; hundreds of dollars worth of stock will surely perish and many fami lies who have poor shelter and 6cant supplies of fuel are liable to have a hard time to keep from freezing; snow drifted ten to twelve feet deep at Hastings. At Janesville, Pa., Wednesday morn -J ing, eighteen men lost their lives, being drowned like rats in a hole, at the Hazleton mines. The disaster was due to the drilling of a hole through a pillar, which liberated an immense body of water confined in the old workings, flooding the new workings and drown ing all the men in that part of the mine. A precisely similar accident occurred the 6ame day at Grand Tunnel, opposite Nantie, drowning three Poles. The Daily People, in a list of the things that the legislature ought to do, has some mvstenous hints that ought to be made very plain reading. If the "People" knows anything in regard to the manipulation of the state's money, it ought to proclaim it from the house-top. There is no such a corrector of public wrongs as daylight. Let the full light ! nf 1v shine iiron all Dublic actions, so that everybody may see what is bejpgi done. But here are the "People s7 mys terious words: "The condition of tho state treasury should be investigated. The treasury of the state of Nebraska is the bulwark of this Boyd fight. A place that is worth forty thousand dollars a year cannot fail to be a source of corruption. The people of this state would like to know where the money is, and how much of it is left, and how much campaign fund from tho treasury went into the Boyd railroad pool, and they have a right to know. This is legitimate and useful work at which the legislature can put in its time." More and more evident does it be come as the cattle industry on the plains loses ground, that sheep ranching is des tined to largely take its place. A great manv who have operated in cattle are quietly but nevertheless determinedly substituting sheep for JJae larger stock, with tho conviction .thaUnJSing so they run much less ffsk oftlfljBsaevhicu havo followed thebness va which they have heretofore beeTTengaged. We can not but deprecate the growing of the ranch bnsiness in any direction now, believing that the best interests .of the country require that --our live stock should 1e produced upon farms; and we hope that shepherds will not after awhile find themselves handicapped as cattle men havo been in the last few years by tho growth of tho ranch business. Tet the tendency toward increasing the pro duction of sheep on the range is so pro nounced at this time that we canuot pass the matter by without comment. Den ver Field and Farm. Aside from personal likes and dislikes and the manner in which it was brought alont, it is perhaps just as well that the Federal election bill has been to all in tents and purposes abandoned as a par ty measure. While acknowledging the necessity for some such law, a great main republicans have lieen of the opin ion that it was now too late to do what ought to havo lieen done years ago. It is not necessary for us to agree with these gentlemen, or to disagree with them, but we have no hesitation in say ing that as long as the republican party could not be united in favor of this measure it was the best thing for the party interest to give it up. It should, however, have been given up willingly by action of the republican caucus, and not forced out as it was by a combina nation of republicans and democrats. We fail to see either the benefit or tho necessity for the prominence which has beeii given the bill to guarantee the bonds of the Nicaragua Canal company by the senate caucus committee. The bill may be good enough, although of that we have our doubts, but there are many others in which the people are much more interested, and which should not have been pushed aside to make room for the Nicaragua bill. Mbs. Geobqe 'Txbee of Springfield, O., who had been suffering with con sumption and spinal trouble, and who to all appearances had died, rose up and said to the undertaker that she had come back to be baptized. She insisted on immediate immersion and the metal lic casket in which she was to have been buried was used for the purpose. "Glory to God," was her cry. Her physicians have hopes of her recovery. Both senate and house have mado fair progress with the regular appropriation bills during the last few days, and if the democrats do not purposely delay mat ters an extra session can easily be avoided, but there are some ugly rumors floating around of a combination among the southern democrats in the house for the purpose of forcing an extra session. They want the loaves and fishes. Bi6Hop John P. Newman of the Meth odist church arrived at his home in Omaha Tuesday eveving of last week, after an absence of eight months, during most of which time he has been in Japan, and has traveled 30,000 miles, and held eight conferences. He expresses satis faction with- the progress of tho church in the foreign countries, especially in Japan. It would seem that about the best thing tho majority in congress could do would be to vote for a recess until the 3d day of March: republicans of the country would then at least have the satisfaction of knowing, even if nothing was accomplished, that legislation was not controlled by the minority, as it has been in the senate at the present ses sion. Senator Stanford's scheme, as it is called, may not make him president, though his boom is on. But this may be counted upon, that the loaning of money on real estate security on as fair a basis as the banker now gets it, will be one corner-stone of the party that will nominate the next president, let him be whom he may. Looking Glass. The election of Dr. Gallinger to suc ceed Senator Blair was very gratifying to the wage-workers of the country. He made a reputation as a hustler several years ago in the house of representatives as the special champion of the printers, for whom he naturally has a kind feel ing, being a typo himself. The newspapers are growing entirely too enterprising. They will not let a man stay dead, even when he wants to. They have resurrected Ray Hamilton, whose body was recently found on the lonely banks of Snake river, and located him, under an assumed name, in Aus tralia. The committee investigating the al leged congressional silver pools is hold ing meetings almost every day and tak ing up much space upon its books, but much of the testimony is of such a na ture as to keep the public in constant expectation of something highly sensa tional. Thanes to Senator Paddock for a vol ume containing President Harrison's message of 89, with accompanying doc uments. Ambitious young men who would like to be versed in government matters will find this book a mine of in formation wel worth studying. NEBRASKA NOTF.S. Harry Clarapitt of Omaha recently at tempted while drunk to kill his wife and her mother. Both eluded him. Henry Messerschmidt, eighty-6ix years old, attempted to commit suicide at Grand Island Monday by cutting his throat with a razor. Neil Brennan of O'Neill has a well on farm north f tOWn eihty feet deep with about nity feet of water. He ex pects to use it for irrigating purposes. One half of the legislative session has expired.

Fair and R. Mills of West Mud dy, in Frontier county, have been law ing about a two-year-old straw stack before Justice of the Peace S. V. Free. The costs at present amount to about 850 and it is not yet settled. The large clothing store of Chas. A. Wiebe of Grand Island was dosed Thursday, under a chattel mortgage, given for 815.700. Total liabilities are unknown, but estimated to be very high, with assets nlxnit sufficient to cover the same. Young Russell of Neligh, who was given a term of thirty days in the county jail for whipping his mother, still re mains defiant, and expressed the wish that the term of his confinement was longer, so as to continue until warm weather. A call was mado Saturday for a special meeting of the supervisors of Sherman county to issue bonds voted to the Loup City canal water power and improve- ment company, to aid in constructing a canal for irrigating and water power purposes. M. L. Lissent, living three miles north of Chadron, was lost and iierished in the storm; a ranchman named Grant Bays and a school teacher named Meta Gray, are supposed to have perished iu the storm; they ventured out to her board ing place, against the advico of friends. Virgil, the four-year-old sou of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Dome of Mason City, got hold of a ltottle of carbolic acid and drank a few swallows, ami as a result the lad was soon in a critical condition. A physician was called and administered an emetic, and the child soon recovered from the terrible dose. Eddie Chidestor and Steve St. Peter, about twelve miles northeast of Kearney, left home Saturday afternoon for a rabbit hunt, camped out in a granary, but becoming cold and alarmed, they tried to reach a neighboring house, got bewildered and perished with cold. When fouud the odies were uear to gether.

John J. Ryan, a brakeman on the Elk horn road, fell from a freight train Tues day of last week, while pulling a coup ling pin to make a flying switch, at Plainview, and bad both legs cut off above the knee. A successful operation was performed by surgeons, but the un fortunate man died Wednesday. He was 23 years old and a native of New York. Hon. Francis Dunn, member of the legislature from Colfax county, met with an accident at Fremont Monday; while endeavoring to board a train, after it got under way, he slipped, and fell be tween the cars and the platform and was dragged about two car lengths, when be threw himself upon the platform. He had two ribs broken and his arm and shoulder badly bruised. Davis Vorgil, a farmer living four miles east of Seward, committed suicide Thursday morning; his body was found hanging from a harrow tooth driven in the wall, suspended by a handkerchief around the neck nnd slipped over the tooth, leaving his feet about two feet from the ground. He had leen hard pushed for money to pay last year's rent of the farm he lives on and other debts had made him despondent. Prof. J. T. Mallalien, superintendent of the industrial school at Kearney, has submitted his report for the month of January. During the month seven pu pils were receivedand three paroled for good conduct. In his report Prof. Mal lalien says: "In my last report I called your attention to the advisability of re questing county judges not to commit any girls except in extreme coses. No tice to this effect should be given infor mally through the daily papers, and it I would probably have the desired effect. The girls' department is crowded, and I sincerely hope that the present legisla ture will give us relief by establishing a girls' reformatory." During the month 400 tons of ice were put up by the school. Herbert Warner of Madison county has got into trouble with Uncle Sam through some alleged very Bhady actions, and is now a culprit in the United States court. The offense was committed at the Meadow Grove distillery. It ap pears that Warner, in league with Van Buren Lewis, the proprietor of the dis tillery, broke into the establishment at night and took away several barrels of distilled spirits on which the tax had never been paid. The fraud was de tected and Lewis, the distiller, was ar rested and convicted in Omaha. He is now awaiting sentence. It is alleged that in the present case Warner was acting under Lewis' instructions. Some legal minds assert that Warner. s offense was burglary. Swan Peterson's boy, a lad about six years of age, who resides seven miles east of town, met with a painful but not very serious accident Monday night. While playing he in some mysterious way ran a needle nearly its. full length into his knee, and breaking off could not be removed by those present. Aftor a good deal of suffering the little fellow was brought to town yesterday and Dr. Abbott, after administering chloroform, dislodged the needle and relieved the little sufferer A petition signed by nearly everybody was in circulation yes terday asking the president to appoint Geo. W. E. Dorsey as secretary of the treasury to fill the vacancy caused by the death of secretary Windom. It would be quite a card for Fremont.
