At Fairmont a German professor of music named Volfqutn tried to kill his wife with a butcher knife, but was un successful, she escaping from his grasp. Two tramps at YorK stole themselves rich in one evening, and were captured with their burden of miscellaneous plunder when about to board a west bound passenger. Some one left a baby in tho entry of the Holland house at lied Cloud. Tho woman cook of the house, at earnest request, was given the infant and will see that it is well tuicen caro of. There is a war on among the bakers of Omaha and tho thrifty housewife is now aole to buy for $1 thirty-six loaves of bread where heretofore she has been aole to secure but twenty-eight. W. A. Uartmess, tho baker who was arrested in Neoraska City, charged with shooting at Mrs. Charles Down ing, had a preliminary hearing and was bound over to the district court in tho sum of $000. .John DeverauK of Fremont, a brake man on tho Fremont, Ellchorn & Mis souri Vahey railroad, fell from the cars at Ceuar Bluffs and was instantly killed, the wheels almost severing his nead from the boay. No less than eight applicants for the postollice have signified their willing ne-s to gervo tne people of Hubbell and vicinity witn their valuable serv ices in tne governmental department there.

'Die report of tho State Historical society has been received at tho gov ernor's office. An appropriation of $7,500 is asked for, and although this is $7,000 more than the usual amount given, it is not out oi proportion when tho provision made for this work in neignboring states is compared with it, Tho wiil of the late Mrs. Eliza Slo cum of NebrasKa City was admitted to probato iast week. It directs that after all expenses of tho funeral are paid the balance of the estate shall go to tho Church of Jesus Chriftand Lat ter Day Saints. The amount is not known, but thought to be considera te. Tho residence of Wiiliam Hutraff, Cleveland township, Cuming county, was burned last week. Hutraff's two children perished in tho flames.

The annual meeting of the state his torical society will bo held January 10th and lltb, in the chapel of tne state university. Tho business to come before this society at this meeting is said to be of the utmost importance. The appropriation heretofore made for the use of the society it is stated wiil be entirely inadequate to its enlarged environment. Cyrus J. Kelsey, a carpenter aged 55. of Lincoln, was arrested on the charge of incest. The complaint was made by a son-in-law, G. W.

The police of Omaha are searching for Joe Williams, the man who is sup posed to have poisoned the Ewing family in this city. Descriptions of tho man has been sent out all over the western country by the detective de partment and the only hope of the po lice now is to locate Williams in some other city. Two of the Ewing famiiy are dead and others in the household are nigh unto death. The street car barn at Albright the other night was destroved by fire. Six horses, four mules, a large number of sets ot harness, one street car and a iarge quantity of eay and grain were burned with the building. Loss about $6,000. How the fire caught is un known, but when discovered the build ing was almost entirely wrapped in flames, and it was with difficulty that the hostler who slept in the staole. made his escape from the burning mass. A it was he lost ail of his effects, saring nothing but the clothes he wore. Charles Stroup, living two miles west of Ponca. met with a painful ac ciuent a few days ago. He was out hunting when his gun exploded, filling his face and eyes with powder. Al though his eyes are badly hurt, he will not lose them. TI1K NbBUAKl LEGISLATURE. A Recwrd Wf JPrVeeedlnj In the Upper nnd Lower Honte. From every nook and corner of Ne braska crowds poured into the Ne braska state capital on the Sd. The early moraine hours were spent in caucusing by the representatives o! three parties and When tho clans came together everything seemed as much in doubt to the outsider as it has ever been. By 11:30 the galleries of both the senate chamber and the house of representatives were packed to suffo cation. At 12 o'clock bharp John C. Ailen, secretary "of state, called the house to order. Elder Howe, chap lain of the penitentiary, offered prayer, dwelling specially in a plea for peace and good will among tno assembled legislators. Sheridan qf Itad. WUlcr? county wa ThJeen lor temporary fipeatofc. Eric Johnson was by accla mation chosen temporary clerk. A recess was then tairen tiil 3 o'clock. On reassembling Clerk Johnson called the rolls, and every member was present. The report of the com mitteo on credentials waq called for. The report of the committee seated J. G. Krusc as the representative from Knox county. The minority report recommended that Chester A. Norton, holding a regularly issued certificate of election as a member of this house from the Twentieth representative district fce seated. The majority re port was adopted, 51 to 18. The oath of office having been administered by a justice of the suoretna courU the nouse-proceeded to permanent Organi zation. Gatlin of Saunders and Jen sen of Fillmore, were bomihsled. The roll was called rcq the vote stood: Gaffin, 53', Jensen, 47. Gaflin was de clared elected and on being escorted to the speaker's chair said: Gentle men: I can but thank you this eve ning for the high compliment that you have paid mo in selecting me for this position. 1 assure you that I fully realize tim responsibility that rests upon the chairman in filling the du ties of this office, and I shall attempt in all rulings to be fair and honorable and protect the interests of each and every individual upon this finor.

Aiain I tcahk you."' Eric Johnson of Merrick county was elected permanent clerk. In the senate at precisely 12:15 p. m. Lieutenant Governor Majors let the gavel fall and called the upDcr house to erdcr. Kev. S. C. Gearhardt, chap lain of the last senate, offered prayer. For secretary pro tem. the name of C. H. Pirlie. Frank Wilson and Frank Morrissey were placed in nomination and threo votes taken, each of which resulted in 14 for Pirtle, 14 for Wil liams and 5 for Morrissey. A motion by Moore of Lancaster that the ch::r appoint a secretary was lost. Ad journed till 3 o'clock p. m. Huusi:. Tne house on the 4th was caiiedtoorderat 10:20. After read ing of the journal -the house proceeded to the election of officers by acclama tion. Kd J. Hail of Grand Island was elected first assistant clerk; second as sistant, J. H. Edwiston. James Allen, of Douglas, was chosen sergeant-at-arma and L. A. Leltzer assistant ser-geant-at-arms: for chaplain. Uev. C. F. Pierson. Uev. W. E. Hall Uev. E. W. Howe, were placed in nomination. Kev. W. E. Hall of Custer county secured fifty-three votes and was de clared elected chapiain. Dobsen, Chap pell and Van Housen were appointed a committee on pages. Tne following were appointed: Postmaster. Norman Koss; assistant postmistress, Mrs. N. J. Bowles (both democratic); mail carrier, G. P. Porter. It was aecided thatacommitteebeappointed to inform the senate that the house is organized for transacting business. A recess was taken until 2 p. m. On reassembling a committee to inform the senate that the bouse was organized and ready for business was appointed, consisting of Howe, Casper and Porter. Tne com mittee returned and upon its return reported that the senate was not yet organized. Mr. Elder offered the fol lowing resolution: llesolved. That the clerk of this house be authorized to furnish the press reporters with stationary, bill titles, copies of reso lutions and other necessaries to ena ble them to make correct report of the proceedings of this assemblage. Car ried. McKesson of Lancaster moved that the members be suppiied with ten daily newspapers or tneir equivalent in weeklies. A motion to tubie this was lost. Beal of Custer amended to make it five, and McKesson came back with a substitute providing for seven. Porter added- another substitute that , the whoie matter be referred to a com mittee, which was lost. Tne matter ! was afterward postponed for the pres ent. Sena te. There is a deadlock in the senate. The ruiing of Speaker Griffin that the house couid transact no busi ness other than the election of officers until the votes of the general election were canvassed, mattes tne situation embarrassing. Every one agrees that the ruiing was correct. But in order to canvass tho votes both branches must meet in joint session. Of course the senate cannot so meet until it is organized, .as a resuu tne present ' deadlock in the senate creates a dead j iock in the house. Every possible ' pressure has been brought to bear ' uoon the democratic and independent ' senators to get together, but so far it has oeen to uttte purpose, several nropositions for harmony nave oeea made by representatives of various uarties but none of them have been ac cepted and it is difficult to tell when the senate will be ready for wonc. One of the propositions made oy the inde pendents was that the independents should have the president pro tem. the chief secretary and the first assistant secretary. Tnen the democrats were to take the second assistant secretary and two other clerics and the sergeant-at-arms and assistants. Another prop position was similar to this, only ' providing that after giving the three clerns to the democrats the rest of the offices snouid be divided as five is to i fourteen. Finany. as a concession, the independents agreed to give the democrats the president pro tem if the independents could name the man. Republicans have offered to make Sen ator Mattes president pro tem and to treat the democrats fairly all the way through. If the deadlock is main tained Nebraska will be in an interest ing situation. None of the new offi cers can qualify until the rotes arft canvassed ahd the Votes cannot be canvassed until the senate is organ ized, Hoist'. In the house on the 5th t, iiiscussi'on arose over tho reading of the journal, the point being that the committee on rules as named was to consist of seven and the speaker, while the old rules under which the house .was tVrapcrarily operating provided that tho committee should consist of one less than that number. The speak er was instructed to matce the besesia ry change in the jotlrnaL A request from SqUatter Governor Pearmah to ailow the use of rBpresShtati've hall on tho tevesing of tho 13th ihsr.

On motion of Howe, tho speaker was instructed to fill tho minor vacancies in order that the organiza tion might be complete, and the fol lowing appointments were tnadtt: Doorkeeper, Charles DoGkhorn; assist ant doorkeeper, E. L. Simmons; cus todian of the cloak room. O. N. Sulli van. Adjourned till 2 o'clock. Immediately on reconvening in tho afternoon Horst moved the appoint ment of a committee of three to confer with a like committee from the senate with reference to a canvass of the re turns. Members availed themselves of the 'dpportunlty to take in the short but interesting session of the senate, the catling to order ef the house being delayed on that account. The com mittee was ready to report When the gavel fell, and Chairman Howe announced that an agreement had been entered into for a meeting at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning with the senate to canvass tho returns. Porter requested the ap pointment of a timekeeper, and the speaKer appointed Mr. Keeno to that position. Tnis brought Up the ques tion of employes, and Barry moved tho appointment of a committee of three on employes to inquire into the needs of the house in this particular ahd report for the information of the Speaker in making the necessary ap pointments. A motion by Howe that Le Grande Pearl be added to the list of pages was carried. On motion of McKesson tno house took a recess until 4 o'clock. At 4:30 o'clock Soeauer Gaffin called the house to order. Mr. Howe, chairman of the committee to confer with a like committee from the senate, to arrange for a time for a joint session, reported that the joint com mittee had agreed upon the hour of 11 o'clock tomorrow. The chair sug gested the propriety of having a com mittee on the number of employes, and Mr. Barry of Greeley moved that the chair appoint a committee of threo for that purpose. Carried. Tho chair named Keckly, Porter and Casper. Bealo of Custer offered a motion that the timekeeper dale the time or ser vico from the time they assume their respective positions. Casper of the committee on employes asked to be ex cused from" Eerving. The speaker offered to excuse Mr. Casper if ho would name a democrat to take his place, as ho (the speaker) was not very well acquainted with the demo crats. Mr. Casper failed to find a sub stitute nnd was retained. Senate. The senate on the 5th is still deadlocked. Lieutenant Gov ernor Majors brought down his gavel at 10:30. and after roil call Kev. H. T. Davis, presiding elder of the Beat rico district, offered prayer. The chair then requested the temporary clem to read the journal. The read ing was only interrupted by the ap pearance in the main aisle of a com mittee from the house, Howe, Casper and Porter, who announced that they had been delegated to inform the sen ate that the house had been organized and was ready for the transaction of business. After the reading of the journal tho chair ordered the roll call on tho election of president pro tem. The ballot, which was tho second of the series, resulted as yesterday Dysart, 13; Correil 13; Mattes, 5. Upon the announcement of the result Thomsen of Dodge moved a recess un til 3 o'clock, which was voted down. A recess was taken of one hour. At 1 2:10 the senate again convened. Pope of Sa line moved a recess until 4 o'clock, but before it was put the chair ordered tho roil call. This being done there was another recess till 4 o'clock. It was some minutes after 4 o'clock when the lieutenant governor took his seat and rapped the senate to order. Tho clerk called the roll and the chairman an nounced that another vote would be taken for president pro tem. There was some noticeable changes in the vote as compared with those that had proceeded it. After the roll had been completed Clark changed his vote to Correil and Everett, Lobeck and Mc Donald recorded themselves in the same column, was announced. 14 for Dysart, 14 for Correil. and 4 for Mat tes. Then Senator Eggleston of Lan caster moved a recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow, and it was so voted, witb hardly a protest .lllinou and the Conference. Washington, Jan. 6. When asked this morning if it was true that he in tended resigning as a member of the international monetary conference, when Mr. Harrison's administration ended. Senator Ailison neither denied nor confirmed the rumor. He simply said: 1 may, but that is not worry ing me now. I certainly wiil not do it now. and whether I will when Mr. Cleveland takes his seat is a matter that the future can take care of. Iie Xot Kceogttize the Vatican. Washington, January 5. The ac tion of the commander of the United States training ship Monongaheia at Lisbon, in failing to accord official honors to Archbishop Jacobini. oaoal nuncio io me court oi i oriugai.-is easily explained at the State and Navy departments. The government of the I United State3 does not recognize the Vatican, and consequently, Archbish op Jacobini has no official standing in , the eyes of the Monongaheia's com mander. ! FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. LICE THAT EFFECT DOMESTIC ANIMALS. Kerosene Emulsion the Best Remedy Training: Colts 'Fruit Fays ttor ticnltural Milts and Hoose hotd Heir's: I!cc on Animals. Colts which have .been in pasture during summer are often found infest ed with lice when. L'fyught to the stable in autumn. These lice may be long to cither of three distinct CC-,es.' but they are most likely to be the one called the common biting horse louse, which is the most abundant It occurs mostly about the head, niano and taiL Thc front of its body is brownish and the back poftidd (tile audoirieri) w yel lowish white with eight transverse dark bands updn ihe bacli Another kind ot louse dccagionauy "found, upon Jmrs'es, at fc'rjce distin guished irom tlie former kiuu by iti triangular Head. Of the three kinds of lice that infest cattle, ono in called the slicrt-iidsed ds-lcJiisc 1'1'i is f slaty blue spe-des, the female of which is about one-sixth of an inch long when full grown, while the males are somewhat smaller. Tho beak of the louse is provided With little lldoks, by which it nlay be firmly attached" td tile" fckin., and within" tliese Hooks there is a Slender silckiilg titb's"llairig a piercing extremity, which the insect pushes through the skin of its host and siulcs the blood. The eggs are attached to the hairs of the cattle near the body, and hatch into young lice that do not differ, except insie. from Hie adults. Ttlc rircli drid sllduUlers of cdttlc arc most likely to be affected by this pest The long-nosed ox-louse differs con siderably from the other. It is about one-eighth of an inch lonr. and is a FHekinjr ?ptcie. The bitirtj? horse iriuse is? very siniilar td the biting ox lonse. The latter is. reddish in color and is a common past, saj's the Ameri can Cultivator. During the last few years the kero sene emulsion has b.en found the most satisfactory remedy for lies affecting cattle and dther domestic aniuials. This is comnionly prepared dy aiding two gallons of kerosene to one gallon of a solution made by dissolving one half pound df soap in one gallon of boiling water, and churning the mix ture, by forcing it back into the same vessel through a force-pump with a rather small nozzle, until the whole forms a creamy mass, which will thicken into a jelly-like substance on cooling. The soap solution .should bi hot when the kerosene is addc 1, bat of course must nit l3 added near tha fire. The emulsion thus made is to be diluted before using with n'uie or ten gallons of cold water. Soft water should be used in diluting. Iti case soft water is uot available a good emulsion can be made with hard water, according to the following directions by Prof. A. J. Co k: Dis solve one-fourth pound of liar I soap, in two quarts of water: add one pint of kerosene, and pu:np the mix ture bacli into itself while hot This always emulsifies at on:e, and is per manent with hard as well as soft water. This is diluted with twice its bulk of water before use The emulsion should ba applied to the animals by means of a foroe pump and spray nozzle, rubbing it about the roots of the hair- thoroughly with the finger tips or a stout bruh It kills the lice, and if tho emulsion is thor oughly prepare I with no free kero sene it benefits rather than injures the animals' hair. In cold winter weather, when it is not advisable to wet the animal's coat, the lice may be killed by fumigation with tobacco smoke. A goo I mathod for this has baca describe 1 in a recent bulletin of the Iowa experiment sta tion. It consists -of a tight box stall just largo enough to admit of the largest anim il bam treated, one end having a close-fitting djor to admit the animal, the opposite cad a stan chion in whijh the animal is fastened, and covering the open part of this end and made to fit tightly around the head just in front of the horns, is a canvas sack op?n at both ends, the inner one nailo I to the stall and the outer with a running cord to draw it down to the auimal's head, thu- leav ing the eyes and nose in open air. An opening at the bottom of one side ad mits the fumigating substance, sul phur or tobacco, the latter apparently the most effective. In burning this wc used a wire screen to spread the to bacco, placing this over a tin tiough containing a quantity of alcohol. It could be burnt, however, with coals, or using a small quantity of kerosene. The time of exposure necessary will vary some with the strength of fumes, but one to two ounces of tobacco and exposure of 20 to 30 minutes was found effective. " Training: Colts. The practice of letting colts run wild until they are two or three years old ha been changed to the habit of breaking to halter while young. Often tliey are broken to lead before they are weaned and are handled and petted moie or less until considered old enough to break to harness. Many yearling colts are actually broken to harness and driven before light vehicles, but at this age, unless man aged with rare judgment, injury is liable to follow from over-exertion. If the colt is of a nervous tempera ment, treat kindly by feeding grain and teach it to cat lumps of sugar from 3'onr hand, and soon you will be able to rub and pet it Speak gently to the colt and soon your coming will be a welcome visit When tying with a halter use a strong one, so that if it is scared and pulls back the halter will not break but hold firmly. The colt will not soon repeat that method of getting away. Throughout the break ing process, use harness and vehicles that are strong and safe. If a colt once runs away it seems to watch for a similar opportunity. Should the colt be fretful and try your paticn ;, do not get mad and give it an excessive drive simply to let it know you are master, or whip and otherwise abuse it to gain the same point The chances are that, if you tell the truth about the matter after wards, you will acknowledge your mistake. Teach colts to instantly obsy the v.v.r.l "whoa" an 1 train them to stand until requested logo Call the colt by t name very frequently. When used by the side of another horse the latter should be of the gentlest disposition, and, no matter how kind and trusty it has been, never leave them withoat tying both of them, as colts frequently get into bad snarls and the mate, how ever gentle, is often led to cause you trouble and loss.

Many fruit growers have become de luded with the notion that planting fruit trine., letting them caro for them selves except at harvesting" time, is a cheap and easy way td nlake nio'ney. There are profits in fruit growing, but they are not for such as these. II sounds paradoxical, but it is true in these times that the" Idrgcsfc cfop of best fruit which bring the highast prices cost less per pound or bushel than do the smaller crdps of those who give them less care. Thus it is true that it is easier to grow large and good crops of fruit than to grow fruit . otherwise. Tho work mart be f.

A cool room above srround is better for milk than a cellar, and it should always be remembered that milk should not stand near vegetables, fish or meat of any kind, as it invariably absorbs the flavor of what is near it. Doughs that stick to rolling pin, board and hands in a hot kitchen should be set away till thoroughH chilled, but all trouble might have been saved by using cold fat, slourand liquid at first and the texture of the dough would have been better. It isa great mistake to make a large tea-biscuit Properly speaking, a tea biscuit should not be more than two inches in diameter and proportionately thick when baked. This gives a deli cate, moist, flaky biscuit, which will ba cooked through before the outside crust has become hard or over brown. In boiling macaroni it is fatal tc permit it to stop boiling for a moment until done. Have plenty of salted water in the saucepan at the boiling point when the sticks arc added, and when they are tender throw in a glass of cold water to stop the cooking sud denly, and drain at onc-c.

There are already more clubs than one can bUHni in St Louis, up-town and down-town, most of them with handsome buildings and wCll-fflWl treasuries, but, till lately, there was none that could be called a club of millionaires.

The principal object of the members of the club is to have Sotae place downtown where they can I fcefc a good luncheon in that interval between tne morning and atternooi;, which occurs somewhere about noon. So they call their club the ''Noonday Clttb:" The fees and duos will be made sd Iiigh that men who cannot treat hundred-dollar bi'ln as pocket money will not be inclined to erttc.

The scheme is one that has been known to bo practicable for a long time, but it has not been put into operation in any large city because no company dealing in refrigeration could get the right to lay pipes under the streets. St Louis is the only town where the pipes have been laid, but other cities will doubtless follow tho example as soon as the success of the enterprise here is seen.
