It is supposed that he took his veloci pede off the track to wait for No. S. which was late, and was overcome by the cold and ttorm. He was a strong, robust man. in the prime of life. Constant petty thieving is going on at Ashland and the town seems to be full of tramps and thieves, driven out from Lincoln and Omaha. The citi zens the other morning were edified by a race down the street, a number of citizens chasing two sneakthieves who ! nan taken two pairs of boots from the front of a store. They were captured and tho goods recovered. The newly installed state officers, consisting of Governor Crounse. Lieu tenant Governor Majors, Secretary Al len, Treasurer Bartley.

A number of resolutions were adopted. Mrs. W. H. Shepard sold her farm, two miles Avest of Piattsmouth last week for ?5,717. Mrs. Shepherd is proud of the vindication of her busi ness judgment by the transaction. Last March this farm, which was part of the estate left by her husband, was sold at referee's sale and was bid in 1 . . a Ti". 1 i -i . m I uy ncr ak ?-i, uu, against me aavice oi friends and lawyers. She says that she is now $1,400 and fortv acres of land better off by the deal, and thinks that is a very good record for a wo man in one year. I A. Stilson. of York, read a paper before tho state horticultural society on "Relation of Bee Keeping to Horti culture." He pointed out that the busy little bee, in its industrious gath ering of honey, was the means of carr rying pollen from flower to flower and thus "fertilizing many that would other wise produce no fruit. Weather that prevents bees from working is disas trous to fruit on that account. He stated that more fertilization was thus accomplished than by the wind alone. 1 and Professor Dessey.corroborated the Btatement. A resident of the sand hills, living about forty miles south of here, says a llushville dispatch, was in town yes terday and reports the capture by the cattlemen of this neighborhood of a band of genuine wild horses, which are known to be the last of that kind of animals in this Dart of the state. Seven' or eight years ago, about the time the! range cattle were leaving and settlers were beginning to come in, several small bunches were known to be in the sand hills, but they ail, with the excemion of these, disappeared. The existence of the bunch just caotured has been known to the cattle men for several years past and frequent at- j tempts have been made to capture ' them, but always heretofore without 1 success. The general store of Brown & Olfield, at Pawnee City, has been closed under a mortgage. In the big and rich city of Omaha. Mrs. Sarah A.

Allison Knee, who maaaged the j exposition at Nebra3ka City, has de- j cided tc build a grain palace in Has tings, and will open the same during the month of October. It is proposed to decorate the exposition inside and outside with &U kinds of grain and other farm products and it will contain twelve large halls. The first, second third and fourth halls will be occu pied by the trades display. One will be known as agricultural hall and will contain the most complete, artistic and attractive display of agricultural and horticultural products ever exhibited in the state. Hon. S. C. Bassett, of Gibbon. Sec retary of the Nebraska Siate Dairy men's aaecciation, was in Lincoln las' weak on his way to Croightdn to at tend a meeting of tho Knox county farmers icstitute at that place. This is ose of the series of some thirty in stitutes which are to be held in as many counties in th state this win ter. The object of these meetings is to discuss matters pertaining to agri culture on the latest and best methods relative thereto. Ose ot the most im portant questions under consideration at Vfacso institutes is that of state leg islation in the interest of pure food for the people. A farmers1 institute was held in Neligh last week: Judge W. H. Holmes was chairman and Hon. W. B. Lambert, secretary. The atten dance was large. The addresses were good and showed much research and a practical development of the farming interests in this county. A paper from Prof. L. A. Stilson, secretary of the State Beekeepers association, was iad. Also an essay by E. Cretchmer of Red Oak, la. Then A.- J. Leeach of Oakdale. the first beekeeper of An- telope count', delivered an address. giving his experience and stating what trees, flowers and plants furnished honey for the bees. Fire last week destroyed a number of houses in Alliance: They are: N. D. Smith's company, drugs; LouBuch enstein, cigar factory: Simonson & Sullivan, law office; F. M. Snedeker, insurance office: J.

Hickman, a prominent farmer in' B township, missed some of his hogs, and he at onco commenced an investigation, and soon found, that bine of his hogs had been sold to Allen McLain. a shipper at Germantown, who had six of the hogs in his pens. He had given the men a check for $112 in payment for the hogs. Hick man came to Seward and swore out a warrant for Hall and Mick, and Dep uty Sheriff Slonecker and McLain went out and arrested the men. The State Historical society at its meeting" in Lincoln elected the follow ing officers: President J. Sterling Morton; vice presidents, S. B. Pound, Hon Lorenzo Crouse; secretary, H. W. Caldwell; treasurer. C. IL Gere. Papers were read by Mrs. S. B. Pound of Lincoln, Hon. J. Sterling Morton and B. J. Johnson. A committee was appointed to ask the legislature to ap- propriate JG.500 for fitting up rooms ' for the society in the new library building. A resolution was adopted recommending J. Sterling Morton for appointment as secretary of agricul ture, although that gentleman ruled that the resolution was out ot order. To the Grower, and Tree Lovers at Nrliraaka.

Neb. i E. T. Hartley, In charge of Nebraska Forestry Ex habit. franeral of Ex-Prealdent Hayea. Fremont, O., Jan. 21. Taps have sounded, the bugles have been blown; (he beautiful good night reveille has been sounded, and all that is mortal of Rutherford B. Hayes, Eleeps beneath a mantle of snow by the 6ide of the devoted companion of his life. The ceremonies of the day were such as befitted the typical American citi- zen, soldier and statesman. Tho simplicity shown forth in his life was marked in his obsequies. No I eulogy was said above him, that was left for the future to pronounce, and all who knew the man, the father and the statesman, unite in saying that it has been wisely so. The pure upright life and generous good deeds which drew so suddenly to a close Tuesday night have nothing to fear from the verdict of on-coming time. In some respects the occasion was one of the most memorable in Ameri can history. The only remaining ex president soon to again assume the mantle of responsibility, stood beside the bier of his dead friend and wept in sorrow for him. The two men had some notable qualities in common, and of all public men few were mors sin cere mourners than Grover Cleveland, who came and went without ostenta tion. A great crowd had gathered at the depot awaiting his arrival, but the word wisely passed around by the citi zens' committee prevented any cheer ing or display there, and he left as quietly as he came. At 2 o'clock the remains were borne into tne wide front hall and amid the funeral hush of the crowded rooms, Rev. J. L. Albritton of the First Meth odist church began the simple services with the reading of the beautiful third ! paalm. The hymn, "When Peace Like a River," was then sting by Mrs. , Fred H. Dorb of Fremont assisted bv Prof. Alfred Arthur of the Cleveland , Conservatory ot Music and a double 1 quartet from Cleveland, consisting of Misses Garler and Brenner, Mrs. Paul North, Mr. and Mrs. Ellin wood and j Messrs. Jenkins, Howell and Preston. ' It was the fourth time Mrs. Dora who is a warm friend of the Hayes family, had sung there on like occasions. The familiar words were rendered with ex quisite expression and beauty. President J. W. Bachford. D. D.. of the Ohio Wesleyan university at Del aware, followed with a fervent prayer. The singing of the hymn of dedica tion. -God Be with You Till We Meet Again." was tender and beautiful in its phrasing and touched all deeply. The services closed with the Lord's prayer, repeated, in unison. I One might live a lifetimo and never witness such a scene as that which Was beheld when all, with one accord, bowed their heads and joined in the simple prayer of child and old age in strong and reverent tones. President elect Cleveland and Governor McKin ley. sitting side by side, humbly and devoutly lifting their voices with the rest. It was more solemn and impres sive than any sermon, and more than one pair of eyes was dim when the amen was said. Then commenced the march to the cemetery, after reaching which the ex ercises were very brief and simple, but the grouping of figures rendered it in describably solemn and impressive. Tho Hayes lor, marked by a simple granite monument not over eight feet in height is about six rods from the entrance. A few evergreens stand near it and trees are numerous throughout the enclosure, which con tains about twenty-four acres. Around the grave were the cavalry troops, with the red capped artillery men in yellow and blue in the back ground, and on the opposite side the regiment of infantry, while all about and everywhere were people anxious to witness the last sad duty to the dead. Thousands walked the mile that separates the Hayes homestead from the cemetery and hundreds of well dressed women as well as men. waded in snow sixteen inches deep and stood in it some minutes so as to get as near as possible to the grave. The pictur esque uniforms of the soldiers, the more somber dress of the civilians, the brighter costumes of the ladies with the bare trees above and the white robe of snow below, combined to frame a picture in tho paling light of the af ternoon that will last as long as life in the minds of all who saw it Rnraon Concernliic Judge '.realiam.

Gresham is to resign his life posi tion as a United States circuit judge to accept a place in Mr. Cleveland's cab net was started by Indianians in this city. There is but one precedent of a president taking into his cabinet a former political opponent Mr. Hayes' appointment of Postmaster General Key of Kentucky. What portfolio Mr. Gresham is to get in the cabinet should the rumor prove well founded, has not been definitely determined by the gossips.

Shorthorn Milking: Qualities RaUlaf Early Iambs To Make the Xana and Tall Grow farm Aotet ttotiie tiititsi 4 fchdrtHorni a Dair Cows': . A valued reader of Coleman's Rural (Vbrld who has .taken it for more than ihirty years ana read it religiously all the time, said to the editor that he did hot think, as we do in regard to Hoi stein sattle. Asked what he meant, he said: "I am of the opinion that the Shorthorn in, the, best iill aroiind. farm er's cow." What, for miik, ind baU ter and. beef? "Yes, for all She is the best all purpose animal we have in theshape of a cow in this country." On what groundsdo you baso your opinion? You do not own any, you used to breed Jerseys; did you ever own a milking herd of Shorthorns? "No, I did not; but I hate seen the dairy herds of England and 1 hate canvassed the matter of dairy cows with the farmers there arid can assure you that if you were to take the Shdrt horn breeding but 61 the English dairys there would be very little left And in so far as England is a dairy country just so far is she a breeder of Shorthorns. Moreover, take the Short horn blood out of the dairy herds even of this country and what have you left? Go over our farms in the West as I have done for nearly half a cen tury and see on how few of them you will find a llolstein, Jersey, Guernsey or any other df the purd dairy breeds. No sir, the Shorthorn and its crosses has given, us the milch stock of the country, has been for many years the general purpose cow for the farmer and is so to-day, in my opinion. The other breeds are good enough in their place, and they each have a place, but I am talking of a general purpose cow for the farmers of the West; a cow that will give a pailful of milk morn ing and night, raise a good, big, beefy calf every year that will make a i.J.OO pound steer at two years old, if rightly handled, or a cow that at the same age will produce another calf just as good as herself. And to cap the climax the cow may at any time be dried off and with a little extra feed of the right kind can be converted into beef." This and much more was said by fte veteran farmer, who not only has age and experience on his side, but as well claims to carry a heavy load of good horse sense, and a level head into the bargain. There is too, a world of truth in his reasoning, as evory un prejudiced reader will admit The Shorthorn cattle were among the first improved stock brought to this country, its first coming tracing back to the early years of the century and its influence is felt in every nook and corner of every state in the Union. Wherever improved blood is found then, as a rule, the Shorthorn paved the way; hence they are used on nearly every improved farm in the country, are of good constitution, size, beefing qualities, good rustlers and feeders, stylish, gentle, good breeders and at times excellent milkers. There is no question either that in their early history, the Shorthorns were used and known as the best milch cattle of England, and many instances of their extraordinary pro ductiveness are on record and have been published scores of times. The same proclivities are fonnd in them here and there in this country abd crop out every onco in a while; but from the time they were first imported until now, the first and only thing re quired of them has been to raise a calf every year. They have been im ported, bred and raised purely as breeding animals and when they had raised and weaned their .calves, were dried off and expected to go through the came process over again, and this was repeated so long as the animal lived. It was too much trouble to milk a herd of Shorthorn for the nverage run of breed ers who saw from two hundred to a thousand dollars in every calf that came. They had no use for milkers, for a dairy, or milk either, for that matter. It looked too much liko caring for the pennies and neglecting the dollars. The result is that the milking propensities of the Shorthorns in this country, so long as they re mained in the hands of the breeders. were not only neglected, but very nearly bred out of them. True, once in a while an individual animal in other herds, would retain the propen sity to such an extent as to compel milking, but so exceptional was this as to be worthy of remark, as a notable instance of inherited qualities that could not be bred out During the years of the century many cold blooded animals were bred to imported and full blooded bulls, and the produce very widely distrib uted, as much so indeed as the pure blooded animals; and it is these that we find in the milking herds of the country not the pedigreed cows. It will take as many years for the latter to recover the milking propensity as it did to lose it Such losses are not made good at the will of the owner, or by the prescription of a physician. In the meantime our good old friend will bear in mind that the Holsteins are here all ready made to hand, giving more milk than any other animal or breed, making more butter, and as much beef. The farmers of the West are not willing to wait for the Short horns to recoup thuir lost quality, and are compelled to take and uso the best they can get for the purposes of to day. No man shall discount our opin ion ot the Shorthorn, nor for present and practical purposes; for butter, cheese, milk and beef, tell us that she is better for the general purposes of the average farmer, than ike Holstein. To Make the Mane and Tail Grow. Mr. Findley, veterinary editor of the New York Sportsman gives the follow ing treatment to make a horse's mane and tail grow and to prevent their falin out: Robbing the mane and tail usualIy results from an unhealthy conIIton the skin, which in most I cases is caused by neglect of grooming, or by bad food, or by any sudden change of diet from bad to good. 'Oc i casionally, however, it appears in stables where grooming and food are unquestionably good. Damaged oats or hay are very ready causes for this annoying affection. In every case, therefore, the food should be caref it l f examined. Young horses, on com Ing into stables, sometimes suffer from Irritation of the skin, probably from change' df diet Burses recovering front fe'ver frequently Jo'so" a large portion o'f tho hair from the mane and the tail. Zri the latter case it seems to arise from an impoverished state of the blood. regard to the treatment, if any posi tive cause, such as damaged food, or neglected grddmirigcanbe ascertained to have existed, measures, of courser, rHusi be" taken to rectify it. Without such amendment Ideal ireattrient will not be of much avail. The'local trtair iSent consists in dressing' the skin with equal parts of met'curipl ointment and soft soap, made into a lather witti hot water, and applied by means of a stiff, hard brush. The new hair will grow fewidUr af tor this application. Besides the above iocal ientedies, it will be necessary to act on the system g'eiler ally by a change of diet; green food, which, by means of its laxative U2lI ties lessens the irritability of the skin, should be given. A bran mash with five grains of arsenic daily, in addition to the usual food, will exert a benefi cial influence on the skin. How td tail ffrltH Poultry. To fail in the chicken business, clean joiir He'd liotise ohce a year. If your chickens have lice, let therH alorie. If you can find only one kind, borrow from your Neighbor and start right. If there are any cracks in the house, don't close them, as you may wish id ascertain what roup and sore head are. In case the roup appears, just let it run; it will stop after awhile and so will the chickens, and then you can boast that chickens don't pay. For drink in summer, keep a cess-pool on hand; if you have' none, by all niearis mdke one. If your fowls get cholera, simply give nothing; perhaps they will get on all right; can't assuie this1, but it's a part of bow to fail, says a corre spondent of Farm and Home. Let your fowls roost in trees, and if you have no trees but up poles ten or twelve feet from tho ground, as the higher you get the purer and colder the air. Again, you need not pay any attention to the nests; the hens will iook out for themselves, if one shduld hatch abroad let her hover near a pasture so the little chicks can go in the dew and catch the gapes, you then save feed, for they will not eat for some time, as it will require all their time to open and shut their mouths. Farm Notes. Fruit growing and bee keeping go well together. The roots of trees often extend out farther than the limbs. Every farmer should at least raise enough fruit for family use. An orchard will not take care of itself, and it will not produce without care. Tastes differ, but if you are making butter to sell you must consult the tastes of your customers. The shortest road to good prices is in having the best articles to ellj this is true of all farm products. With most stock for fattening; for the dairy, or to work, high grade are fully as good as pure-bred animals. The best profit can be attained dnly by those that are willing to direct manual labor by intelligent brain work. Farms could be wonderfully beau tified if proper attention were paid to planting lines of shade trees around them. One important item with the man gers or.racks is to have them so that the feed can be put into them with the least labor. A grower claims to be able to make more money growing grapes at two cents a pound than in growing wheat at a dollar a bushel. A little pains taken to provide good walks will materially lessen the trouble of cleaning the feet before going into the barn or the house. The best time to clean tho mud off tho horses' legs is before it is allowed to get dry; keeping the legs and feet clean will prevent scratches. Some claim that it docs not require any more feed to make a pound of butter than a pound of beef, but it certainly requires more skill. In selling animals for breeders it is always best to keep within bounds in all statements and see that the fact? sustain all representations made. Home Hints. Bathing the abdomen with alcohol is an excellent remedy for diarrhoea. A scant cup of butter will often make a lighter cake than a full cup. One of the most palatable of gruels is a combination of cream, beef tea and barley water. For a change sometimes add a hand ful of any dried fruit to the oatmeaL Be careful not to let it stick. Milk is better for being kept over night in small tins than if a larger quantity is kept over in one vessel. Don't waste the cold mutton. A fine dish can be presented for the domestic table when cooked with macaroni, and tomatoes. A good lotion for the face and hands is cocoanut milk. Grate a cocoanut and squeeze it through a cloth and use the juice thus obtained. A piece of chamois skin bound on the edges, shaped to fit the heel and kept in place by a piece of elastic rub ber, worn over the stockings, will save much mending. Ail head vegetables, such as cauli flower, cabbage and lettuce, that are to be cooked whole, should be im mersed head downward in cold water to free them from grit and insects. Never allow meat to be placed di rectly on the ice, as the water draws out the juices; it is even worse to lay it there wrapped in paper. It should always be laid in a clean porcelain vessel. Cut glass should be thoroughly washed and dried, then rubbed with prepared chalk, using a soft brush, and being careful not to neglect any of the crevices. This will give it a fine polish.

A gtagalar Has Faasbae Baryln; tH TTlrea A Boom In Aluminum. 6t Lotus, Jan. 13. "Do you mean to say that there is a rose famine in St. Louis?" asked a young man at a flor ist's this week. "Exactly," was the rcpty. "Our floL growers neglected their roses thia year thinking the people would want fewer of them", and wo have not begun to supply the demand that came On us with the holidays." Flowef growing is an extremely profitable business in this city, and there is a large amount oi cagitnl in vested in it One florist not long ago bought a tract of fifty acres for his hot houses. But there was a rage for chrysthanthemums this year, and the florists somehow got the idea that the demand for roses would fall off. The consequence was that New York had to be called on to help them supply the demand, and when the New York florists ran out of roses, other eastern cities were pressed into service. The web of wires hanging over the streets of St Louis will disappear very soon. Three of the largest of the com panies that string wires announce that they intend io lay conduits and give up the poles as soon as they can make the necessary arrangements with the Board of Public Improvement By doing this they will escape the force of Senator Stone's hill, pending in the Legislature. The Bell Telephone Com pany, which owns four-fifths of the wires, intends to lay a conduit that will cost over half a million dollars. St. Louis is about to become the cen ter of one of the most important manu facturing industries in the country. This is the manufacture of aluminum from the crude kaolin ore which will be shipped here from the nilnes. The syndicate that is to build the xcrka here intends to concentrate the alumi num trade of the United States in this city, and announces that the output of the factory from the first will be twenty times as great as the entire present production in this country. That would be an amount larger thau the output of the world, at present, but the enormous capital behind the new company leaves no room for doubt that it intends to make its promise good. St Louis has been chosen as the location for the plant because of its geographical position, which will greatly facilitate the distribution of the manufactured aluminum. The public library of this city suc cessfully accomplished it gigantic undertaking this week. The library has been in its rooms on Chestnut street for years, and its new building on Locust street, nearly a quarter of a mile from its old location, was com pleted about the first of the year. Sat urday and Sunday books were de livered from the old rooms, but a large force of librarians and packers were making things ready for the moving. Monday morning, the first of the three hundred thousand books and valuable documents in the library was carried over to the new rooms, and since ths.t time the work has proceeded day and night Wednesday the" new rooms were opened and patrons of the library were served there, tho book deliveries at the old rooms having continued up to the hour when tho, formal change was made to the new quarters. The new library is the most successful free library in the West, and its building is not equalled in modern appointments, by any in the East, except the Drexcl institute in Philadelphia.
