Public opinion is growing in favor of

A bhute negro of Paris, Texas, was

The island of Zante is having a very
serious time of it, having been shaken
up several times by earthquakes. The
shocks experienced Thursday night did
enormous damage, the whole island
was devastated. The torrents of rain,
the hail storm, the roaring thunder, tho
blinding flashes of lightning, and the
dreadful rumbling beneath the surface
of the swaying earth, caused such ex
citement and fear that many persons
entirely lost their reason.
Oub Washington correspondent usu
ally hits the nail squarely on the head,
but he missed his guess in the appoint
ment of a successor to Justice Lamar.
The president's appointee, Jndgo Jack
son, is a democrat, but not a states
rights man; a democrat, but a protec
tionist, and the appointment was made
by the president outside the ranks of his
own political party, because he was
assured that the confirmation of a repub
lican was extremely improbable.
Senator Tefft is one of the ablest
members of the present senate, and is a
level-headed republican, as well as a
good member of the body on general
principles. In advocating a constitu
tional convention he remarked: ''The
present constitution is not large enough.
This fact was demonstrated at the last
election, when meritorious amendments
failed of adoption because of the barriers
raised in the constitution. The legisla
ture is going ahead piling up new duties
on the executive officers of the state,
which the constitution never contem
plated. Already a bill is pending to
enlarge the supreme court. The people
are ready for a new constitution. They
demand it"
Chabi.es Cameron, elsewhere spoken
of in today's Journal, president of the
city council of Hastings, and a promi
nent business man of that city, who had
recently met reverses in business, had
disappeared after his break-up. It was
upposed that his financial troubles had
unbalanced his mental faculties. About
noon Saturday he was fonnd dead by the
.aide of arf orchard of small peach trees,
in the extreme southern portion of the
city. Near the body an empty bottle
was picked up, one of two that he had
purchased, filled with whisky. The ver
dict of the coroner's jury was that Cam
eron came to his death from exposure
and freezing between the night of Janu
ary 30 and the morning of January 31.
The first real debate in the senate
occurred when Tefft moved the indefinite
postponement of Dysart's bill providing
for the choice of presidential electors on
the Michigan plan. Dysart vigorously
and excitedly supported his measure,
saying that the people should come as
Bear as possible to electing all officers by
a direct vote. Senator Moore never
heard of these reforms being inaugurated
' ia Texas, or any other democratic state
IUEB JBJBBlSBippi or JUUHIHIHIIW. XjVeiy-
bodr aaderstood the object of the bill.
The democrats not being able to carry
themselves, were content to
in Tjassinflr measures to take away
i from republicans. He might favor
alar bill if it included every state
i the nnion, but the law under consid-
oob was an evident actoi injustice
wovld place Nebraska at a disadvan-1
faja with other states in the union, J
Coaaty Depositories.
Senator Moore of Lancaster has an
amendment which has been introduced
as senate file No. 154. It requires county
treasurers to deposit county fandsin
state or national banks, the interest to
be not less than 3 per cent nor more than
4 per cent. The banks so receiving
county deposits muBt not have less than
$20,000 capital, and the deposit shall
not be more than one-third of the capi
tal. The bank shall give a bond signed
by five free holders who must justify to
an amount more than one-half of the
bond. Violation on the part of a treas
urer is made a misdemeanor.
Tho present way of getting some in
terest for the use of public funds..may
not be all that is desirable, but the idea
has come to stay, so far as the people are
concerned, and if present laws are defec
tive they will continue to amend them
until they get what they want, viz: a
reasonable rate "of interest on balances
that they have to carry any length of
time, and as perfect security as can be
had for the delivery of the money on
legal demand.
It would be a piece of great folly in an
individual to allow large sums of money
to lie idle for months and years when the
same could be invested in a perfectly
safe manner, even at a low rate of inter
est, but it is just such folly as this that
the overburdened, tax-paying communi
ties of the country have been practicing
for a very long time.
The little flurry over the S200.000 more
or less that is anxiously concerning some
of the state officials ought to make the
people's representatives carefully con
sider the action they take on the subject
of depositories.
The death of ex-President Hayes has
called forth considerable discussion of
his life, and, among other things, his
"title to the presidency," concerning
which the New York Sun has made some
pretty strong assertions. The Chatta
nooga Times is more sensible, and re
bukes its great cotemporary in the
following wholesome fashion:
"The Sun knows, as well as we know,
that Hayes' title was perfect, and that
he could have done no other than ho did
in accepting the office.
"Tho Sun knows that the electoral
commission was a democratic contri
vance, and that decent men should
always accept the finding of arbitrators
of their own choosing.
"The Sun knows that Hayes never
lifted a finger, spoke a word or gave a
sign of approval or disapproval of the
commission scheme and accepted what
the extraordinary court gave him, as ho
was duty bound to do."
The truth is that, considering the
number of men the republican party
has placed in the presidential chair, and
the troublous times in which they have
served their country the record is re
markable, both as to tho party's repre
sentative men in position, and the purity
of purpose of the political organization
which has accomplished more of good to
tho country than all other party organi
zations in cur history put together.
Dr. G. A. Leech, formerly of Wash
ington, now of New York, is a believer
in the phonograph as a remedy for deaf
ness. Experiments have strengthened
his belief, and ho has introduced tho
phonograph in his practice. He says
that in most cases, deafness comes from
catarrh. Tho passage from the throat
to the ear becomes choked and a coating
forms on the bones of the ear which in
terferes with vibration; as this coating
thickens and hardens tho vibratory
power becomes less, and when it ceases
the function of the ear is suspended.
Tho doctor's idea is that the use of tho
phonograph quickens the drum of the
ear and affects the coating of the inner
bones, and that as this coating becomes
dislodged and is removed, deafness
ceases. Musical cylinders are not suited
to the treatment, although in certain
cases bugle calls, cornet solos, and the
chimes of loud bells may be used to
advantage.
TnE 15-year-old son of John Saunders,
a farmer living north of Holbrook, went
herding Tuesday last as usual. Not re
turning at night, a search was made and
his dead body, in an entirely nude con

was found on the prairie tied by the arm
to his horse.
Washington Letter.
From our regular correspondent.
The solemn tolling of the big bell in
the tower which surmounts the church
of tho Covenant tellB tho sympathizing
thousands who crowd the streets adja
cent thereto that tho remains of Ameri
ca's greatest statesman James Gillespie
Blaine have left the house in which ho
made such a brave fight against death.
Slowly, slowly the funeral cortege
moves through the vast sea of sympa
thetic faces, every head uncovered and
reverently bowed and every heart throb
bing with the same sympathy that is
felt by every patriotic American. Atthe
door of the church the unostentatious
black casket an almost exact duplicate
of the one in which Mrs. Harrison was
so lately carried to her last resting place
was carried within by loving hands and
carefully deposited on the velvet covered
dais. In tho congregation which filled
every men or available space were tlie
most prominent representatives of every
profession and calling, conspicuous
among them being President Harrison
and his entire cabinet, and the legations
of every foreign government represented
at Washington. The services were of
.the simplest, no singing, no music, ex
cept a dirge upon the organ, played by
Mr. Walter Damrosch, Mr. Blaine's son-in-law,
and no sermon; nothing but the
reading of the Presbyterian burial ritual,
and a prayer by Dr. Hamlin, tho pastor
of the church.
It was proposed to give the dead
statesman a grand public funeral in the
capitol bnilding, but at the request of
the family, the idea was abandoned.
Mrs. Blaine also requested that no furth
er official notico of the death be taken by
the National Government than was abso
lutely necessary, and that tho mourning
now on the State Department on account
of the death of ex-President Hayes
should be removed at the expiration of
thirty days, just as would have been
done had Mr. Blaine not died; and her
wishes will be respected in that as they
were regarding the funeral.
From the church of tho Covenant to
Oak Hill cemetery where the interment
was made, beside the grave of his favor
ite son. Walker, from the effects of
whose death Mr. Blaine never entirely
recovered, is something more than a
mile, but the crowd which followed the
procession, on foot, cared nothing for
that; they were there to do honor to the
man they loved, and had it been twenty
miles they would have followed that
casket to its final resting place. And
who doubts that in the after years, when
the United States shall have reached the
grandeur which was so plainly visible to
the prophetic eyes of Mr. Blaine, it will
be considered a great honor in thousands
of families to be able to say: "My father,
or my grandfather, or my great-grandfather,
saw Mr. Blaine buned?" Not I.
Already there is much talk of a move
ment for the erection of a grand monu
ment at the capitol of the Nation he did
so much for, in honor of Mr. Blaine, and
there is little doubt that in due course
of time such a memorial in bronze or
stone, or both, will be erected; but Mr.
Blaine will have a monument in the his
tory of his country that will last as long
as the world itself. His great work in
behalf of bis country is already as well
recognized by his political opponents as
by his followers, as was shown by the
following telegram to his widow, from
Mr. Cleveland: "His brilliant states
manship will always be an inspiration to
me nation ne nas served so long and so
welL Permit me to extend my sympathy
on the death of your distinguished hus
band." It is expected that the President will
this week send the nomination of a suc
cessor to the lato Justice Lamar, of the
supreme court, to the senate. And two
things may bo put down as certain, re
ports to the contrary notwithstanding
he will be a republican, and he will be
confirmed by tho senate.
Within a few weeks sometime , in.
March the patents on the principal
part8,of the Bell telephone will expire.
ThislwilL be a very important event to
the renters of telephones, who have been
compelled to pay extortionate prices to
the owners and controllers of these pat
ents,, which may soon be used by any
body. Whether intended or not Senator
Chandler's resolution providing for the
investigation of the whiskey trust, had a
stimulating effect on the house commit-
teo on rules, and Representative Bur
rows' resolution was reported to the
house and adopted. At the same time a
resolution providing for an investigation
of the money spent by the Panama Canal
Co. in this country, and the relations of
the Panama Railroad with the Pacific
Mail Steamship Co. and other transpor
tation lines was adopted.
The President and members of con
gress are much interested in the applica
tion of Hawaii for annexation to the
United States, but the matter is too im
portant to be decided off-handed, and
will probably bo loft for Mr. Cleveland
to wrestle with.
HOW Mr. T. WAS CONVINCED
Prize Essay by Mrs. Isa Bayler.
From n series of prize essays, published
the American .tereeyCattleClub.J
bv
Mr. T. was a breeder. His name
was a synonym for the choisest aud
best in his line. He was a man de
voted to his family, indulging them in
every want possible or practicable. He
usually kept three, sometimes four of
his favorite breed for family cows to
supply the cream and butter needed.
Ilis wife went to Ohio on a visit,
and while there became very much in
fatuated with a Jersey cow, a pet of
one of her sisters. Coming home she
importuned her husband to buy her a
Jersey, but he told her he would be
ashamed to let the neighbors see one
on his place that it seemed to him a
man was running down pretty low in
stock who kept a Jorsey
"Why" said he. "I'd rather keep a
goat, for that wouldn't look as though
I were trying to keep a cow and were
too poor to do so. But his wife (as he
told it) "plagued the life out of him,"
wanting a Jersey; so one day at a sale
soma miles distant he bought, for a
mere song, a poor little ruuty, ill-kept
Jersoy heifer, said to be with calf. He
started home with her, feeling more
and more ashamed of his purchase the
nearer he got home. Fearing to meet
some of his bantering neighbors, he let
down a rail fance at the lower end of
his farm and drove the animal up
through corn rows aud by-lanes till he
got into the buck yard. Calling his
wife, he said: "Mary, here is your
Jersey, but for Heaven's sake, when
anyone speaks of it, tell them it is
yours and yours alone."
"All right, John; I'll keep it in the
yard with the children."'
All the fall the children and the
heifer played together, she sharing
their bread and butter, they using her
for horse, dog, cow or an thing their
fancy suggested, and growing dearer
to them each day. When winter came
on tho query was where to keep her.
One thing was certain, she must be
kept in some place where the children
could care for her, so an old wood shed
was fitted up and "Bessie," and the
children given possession. Christmas
morning they went out as usual to
feed "Bessie," but immediately came
rushing back, breathless with excite
ment, fairly tumbling over each other
to say, "O mamma, papa 1 there's a
little calf with 'Bessie,' a little calf, a
little bit of a calf. Oh ! come and see."
A few weeks later a baby
brother came to fill the cradle that had
been empty for long months ever
since the angels had called its last
frail occupant, and as the days went
by all hearts grew sick with the fear
that the angels would soon bear little
"Roy away, too. The white-haired
family doctor, spying the Jersey in the
yard one day, said to Mr. T., "is that
young cow giving milk? -Yes, it has
a calf; it bchmys to Mary and the
children."1 "Well, feed the baby on
its milk. I have known some remark
able cases of puny babies thriving on
Jersey milk." So "little Bess" had to
share with Baby Roy, in whom im
provement became marked from the
very first trial.
June came. "Little Bessie" would
now eat grass, and Roy was a great
big fellow, tipping the scales at twenty
pounds. Mrs. T. commenced saving
some of Bessie's milk to try the qual
ity, not saying anything about it to
Mr. T. One morning at breakfast he
remarked, "It seems to 'me, Mary, our
coffee is a deal better than formerly,
of what firm are you buying our coffee
now." "The same one," replied Mrs.
T., but she smiled. Strawberries
came. Mr. T. said one day at dinner,
"It seems to me, berries and cream
never did taste as good as they do this
year." Mary only smiled. Harvest
came on; the harvesters remarked on
the excellent qualitv of the butter.
"Yes!" said Mr. T., "I have a .strain
of animals that are extra butter cows."
"But, John, I haven't made any
butter for a month past except from
'Bessie's' milk."
"Why ! lew is that."
"Well, the man brought in such a
small quantity of milk, and it seemed
so thin beside Bessie's, I have been
giving that to the calf and saving her's
to use, and that is why your coffee and
berries have been tasting so much bet
ter," she triumphantly added.
"Well ! well !" began Mr. T., then
was silent.
A few. days later a neighbor called
to him as he was reading on the front
porch: "Say, John. I wonder ft your
folk could help us out with some but
ter? Got harvesters at our house, too
busy to go to town, wife says she a.ust
have some butcer."
"1 am sorry, friend II., that we can
not. My wife is only making a little
bulter now from that little Jersey
there."
Mary, passing through the hall, heard
the conversation, and, stepping to the
door, said, "Ithink I can accommodate
you Mr B.; I have some I can spare."
"I'll be very glad indeed if you can,
How much can you let me have."
"Three pounds, if you want that
much; that is just what I churned this
morning. I have about one and one
half pounds on hand, and will churn
again day after tomorrow, so I can
help you out all through your harvest
if you like, as we have finished ours."
When the neighbor had gone, Mr.
T. took his wife to task.
"Mary, you don't mean I should be
lieve you are making that much but
ter from 'Bessie'" alone?"
"Yes, John, from 'Bessie' alone 1
am making about seven pounds of but
ter a week, besides our cream for cof
fee and berries, aud Boy has his por
tion." "Why, what are you feeding her?"
"Oh ! she picks around in the or
chard, the children give her some
chicken feed night and morning, and
she eats the oat meal and scraps of
bread left after each meal."
"Well," said Mr. T. in conclusion,
I thought all that day; I went to bed
thinking; got up next morning still
thinking. I went out and took a look
.at 'Bessie' and my friend, I want to
tell you I felt like it, and I did take
off my hat and make a piost humble
bow to that mild-eyed specimen of the
bovine race. Ever since then 'the
Jersey' stays with me for a family cow
and when I drive another one home it
will be proudly done and on the broad,
open highway."
ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
Oconee Occurrences.
The thermometer ranging from zero to
21 below, and a few inches of snow with
one good blow have constituted our
weather during the week.
Some changes are taking place in our
neighborhood. Mr. JHendryx is said to
have sold his farm and will remove to
and further build on his new placo at
Monroe.
Mr. Murdock has leased his elevator to
a Lincoln company, so that now there
will still be the lively competition in
buying that is so welcome to the farmer,
and which has drawn so large a share of
produce to our market.
It is said also that Mr. Murdock has
taken the Lodmau place on a lease, bo
that he will alUvr luer have quite a large
tract of land at his disposal.
An unusual amount of sickness has
prevailed around ns lately, Miss Chapin,
Miss Campbell, Miss Wilson and Miss
Fcniinore have all suffered from a species
of jaundice, but thoy are now better.
The venerable Mr. Lambert, who has
had such a long spell of sickness while
on a visit to his family here, still lingers
on, but his vitality is very evidently les
sening and at his great age of 80 tho
probabilities of surviving this severe
attack are not encouraging.
Mr. Campbell has been an -invalid for
Bomo time, but is now better.
A strong posse of men and teams has
been engaged in ice harvest from a pond
of pure spring water near the Loup.
From forty to fifty tons of splendid
crystal ice aro safely stored on Mr. Feni
more's premises.
Mr. McCono has been laid aside with
a complaiut to which he is subject, but
is now about again. His son Albert sus
tained a severe sprain from falling under
one of the colts the boys were breaking

Wo want every mother to know that
croup can be prevented. True croup
never appears without a warning. Tho
first symptom is hoarseness; then tho
child appears to have taben a cold or a
cold may have accompanied the hoarse
ness from tho start. After that a pe
culiar rough cough is developed, which
is followed by the croup. The time to
act is when tho child first becomes
hoarse; a fw doses of Chamberlain's
Cough Beinedy will prevent the attack.
Even after a rough cough has appeared
the disease may bo prevented by using
this remedy as directed. It has never
been known to fail. 25 cent, 50 cent
