Cbodkse has appointed Frank Hilton of Blair to the office of state oil inspector. 1 Ramd City has a quarry of pink sand stone from which the owners expect to make a fortune. The administration of ex-President Harrison has been one of the very ablest, wisest and most patriotic in all our his tory as a nation. t Mns. IiEase, the Kansas orator of the populists, gives it as her opinion that - the cabinet of tho president is a regular ' . "Wall street crowd." August Tiiormax of Antelope county on Mondav night week had 29 head of young cattle stolen from his yards. Five of the weaker ones were found about two miles from home, but no further trace of them has been seen.

Ho was seventy-six years old, and had often expressed a desire to go direct from church to heaven. hnnn in the narade. The inaugural address was delivered in the open air notwithstanding the wflAthnr. He nledced unreserved, com plete devotion to the interests and wel fare of those who have honored him. Nothing is more vital to our supremacy as a nation and to the beneficent purpo ses of our government than a sound and stable currency. So far as the executive branch of the government can intervene with any of the powers with which it is vested, thev will not be withheld when their exercise is deemed necessary to maintain our national credit or avert financial disaster. Lessons of-paternalism ought to be unlearned and the better lesson taught that while the people Bhould patriotically and cheerfully sup port their government, its functions do not include tne support oi me peopie. It is a plain dictate of honesty and good government that public expenditures should be limited by public necessity and that this should be measured by rules of strict economy. He inveighs against the "demoralizing madness for spoils," and commended civil service reform. Also against conspiracies ui nnnital and combinations of business in terests against the people's welfare. But the accomplishment of tariff reform formed the burden of the new president's inaugural, and he closes this part of bis address by saying: "Even if insuperable obstacles and op position prevent the consummation of our task, we shall hardly be excused, and if failure can be traced to our fault or neglect we may be sure the people will hold us to a swift, exacting accountability." The American people nave somenow acquired the belief that Mr. Cleveland has a strong, if not stubborn, will of his own, and that he purposes having his own way. Whether his will shall prove strong enough to dominate the parties that placed him where he is, is yet to bo seen. There are sullen muuenngs oi coming storm that mayor may not be averted, according as men may think and act. All well-meaning citizens of whatever political faith will be found favorable to the president's occupying his position with all the wisdom and strength of purpose and patriotism at his command. pleased to receive many additions. Frank Dougherty spent Sunday in Platte Center. The postmaster wore his Harrison, hat on inauguration day.

Taylor, the oldest practicing physician of Blair, died Saturday morn ing last, after an illness of several months' duration. Ho was one of Blair's most prominent men, in business ana in politics. His acquaintances throughout tho state will sincerely mourn the de parture of one "who loved his fellow men." A novel raco can be seen in a Connect icut city, a school house running after a hotel.

Exchange. Lagbippe, or what some of the physi cians of Clay Center, Nebr., call simply lung fever, has assumed a very different type from any former cases, terminating in blood poisoning or as tho attending physician terms it gangrene of the lungs. Three persons have recently died. The last victim was Fred Fairbanks, a young man aged twenty-one, whose funeral took place Wednesday. Hexky, son of A. Kohler, a grocery man of Albion, was killed by the explo Hinn of a cannon bv careless loading Saturday. The gun was fired at the ratification of Cleveland's inauguration. The deceased was about 12 years old and a verv bright boy. He was standing about forty feet back of the cannon when he was struck by a piece of the metal and killed almost instantly. Chaxcellou Caxfield of Urn State University asks an appropriation of 825,000 for a mechanical arts building, and 873,100 for the completion of tho library building. Two years ago there were 431 students; at the beginning of the term.875, and now 1,050 are enrolled. Professor Mallalieu of the Kearney in dustrial school weuld like a larger ap propriation than tho house committee vhad decided upon. Mr. Mallalieu is " doing excellent work at the institution of which he is superintendent, and his views should bo given due weight by the legislature. The prosecution of Mr. BuBwell,at Beatrice, under a charge of practicing medicine contrary to the provisions oi the state law, has attracted no little attention. Mr. Bnswell is a Christian science healer. Tho jury rendered their verdict Friday acquittal. Mr. Pront in his argument for tho defense, showed that of one hundred cases treated by the defendant in eighteen months, only two proved fatal, and ho did not believe the jury would convict any man of being a criminal because ho implored the Al mighty God to remove pain and sickness ' from his patients. Mil Clark, of Wyoming, has introduc ed an important resolution, which may have a direct effect upon the question of the price of bituminous coal in all sec tions of the trans-Mississippi country. The resolution authorizes tho speaker of the house to appoint a committee of five members-elect of the Fifty-third congress to inquire into the sale or alleged sale of all tho Union Pacific coal properties to another corporation. It is alleged that the latter corporation is composed of the general officers and the employes of the Union Pacific railroad company and that the whole of tho coal lands, valued at between 4,000,000 and S5,000,000, have been disposed of to the new corporation without any consideration whatever. The scheme of the transfer is said to be the enrichment of tho individual officers of the company to the detriment of the . corporation "itsalf. and that by it tho security which tho United States holds is materially lessened. Mr. Clark thinks that the new corporation is playing a gamo to keep small operators in Colorado and Wyoming from working the coal lands owned outside of the field of the Union Pacific proper. The resolution was referred to the committee on Pacific railroads, and will be called up within a week. SrucElast Friday night, when acyclone struck portions of Troupe county, Georgia, the peoplo in the path of the storm have greatly snffered; many of them are destitute, having been rendered homeless bv the wind, with not a vestige of clothing except the garments they had on their backs. Greenville is a scene of desolation, many of her elegant homes, as well as humble cottages, being destroyed. Four churches and a college were levelled to the ground. Some men who followed the track of tho 6torm eight miles, noted complete devastation all along the route. Many were left with only the clothes they went to bed in. Everything was blown away and drenched in the ram. it is lmpossioie World's Fair Notes. The last will and testament of Queen Isabella, in which she makes a number of references to the new world, will be a very interesting object in the Spanish exhibition at the World's Fair. The various transportation lines be tween the central portion of Chicago and the World's Fair grounds will be able to carry upwards of 100,000 people an hour. Iceland sagas, bearing on tho early discoveries of the Norsemen and the stories of their trips to Vinland and pos sibly North America, will be lent by the Danish government to the United States for exhibition at the World's Fair. Be fore permitting them to leave Copenha gen the Danish government has stipu lated that in case of the total loss 820.000 must be paid for them and all expenses incident to their exhibition. They are to be returned by a United States man-of-war. In its exhibit at the World's Fair the Government Patent Office will show up wards of 2,500 models, many of them being working machines.

Howell, Esq., Traveling Freight and Passenger Agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul railway, was in tho city Thursday, and did considerable work in the interest of his company.

He said that when he made his previous estimate he had not made allowance for tho payment of the Choctaw Indian claim, which will take about 88,000,000, and that receipts from customs had already fallen below his estimate because nf the exnectation of early changes in tho tariff law. He also tola the com mittee that he thought it probable a deficit would exist in the fiscal year be ginning July 1, 1894, and that if he were to remain at tho head of the treasury department ho would like to have an addition of 850.000,000 to tho balance, 825,000,000 of which he would use to maintain the gold reserve. The secre tary takeB no stock in the wild talk about the danger of a panic, either now or in the near future. Such talk has been persistently put forward by those who expect to benefit by a financial scare and itR pnnRpnnent effect UDon the commer cial interests of tho country. It is cred itable to America that the most of these financial jackals and vultures are for eigners, without interest in the United States, further than the money they can mjikfi. Speaker Crisp was guilty of a bit of usurpation the other day that would have been cried from the democratic house-tops had he been a republican. It came about this way: The. house com mittee on elections decided by a party vote tho contested election case of Miller vs. Elliott in favor of the sitting demo crat of course and instructed Mr. Payn ter, of Kentucky, to prepare the majority report and Mr. Johnson of Indiana, the minority report. Mr. Johnson, although sick in bed, prepared his report, and took it down to the house, although advised atrain6t leaving his room by his physician, "l . .. l. 1 K.. 4l.o. ...nmrilv oniy to ue luiuruitu lhuu hid mijj report had not been prepared and would not bo until this week. Knowing that to mean that the majority report would nrnhnblv never bo made. Mr. Johnson presented his report to the house and it was by a vote ordered printed. He was surprised an hour later to be informed by the printing clerk that Speaker Crisp had issued an order forbidding the print ing of the report until the majority re port was presented. Mr. Johnson was natnrallv indignant, and he went to Speaker" Crisp and called his attention to the fact that the house had ordered his report printed, and that tho speaker had no authority to suppress it. All the same the speaker did suppress it. How is that for Czarism?

From onr regular, correspondent. The President is not losing any sleep because of tho failure of the senate to ratify the treaty providing for the annex ation of Hawaii, and of the report that nearly one-half tho senate is opposed to its present ratification, some of them mostly republicans because they doubt the wisdom of immediate annexation, believing a protectorate preferable; and others mostly democrats because they do not wish the credit of acquiring the islands to go to the republican adminis tration. Mr. Harrison has done what he conceived to be his duty in negotiating the treaty and in sending a message to the 6enate recommending that it be im mediately ratified. When that was done the responsibility was transferred from him to the senate, and there he is willing to leave it. Mr. Cleveland may not have taken a hand in this business, but the sudden change of mind among the dem ocratic senatprs,some of whom were only a few days ago clamoring for prompt action, is to say the least, suspicious. Some people, but your correspondent is not one of them, believe that Judge Greeham is responsible for the failure of the senate to act, and that he is opposed to annexation for no better reason than that it is favored by Mr. Harrison. Unless there is a radical backdown on Mf;mtA the value of property losM the part of the friends of the Sherman amenumeub w uio buuuij mu mnw priation bill, authorizing the secretary of tne treasury to issue o per cent uuuub, h he considers it necessary, an extra session of congress will have to be called. This bill is now being considered by the house, and the ultra silver men are ap parently determined to kill the whole bill by filibustering if the Sherman amendment cannot be defeated in any other way, and it cannot be, unless its friends a majority of the houses-will rvinsent to its defeat, and there is no present indication that they will do that EaS a la$r,SfiiU's ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Boston Operatic Company. At last we aro to hao an entertain ment worthy the name. G us. Schroeder, E. Pohl, A. Boettcher and P. Hagel have made arrangements to bring the famous Boston Operatic Concert Company here, March 13th. The Puoblo, (Colo.) Leader of recent date says: The Boston Operatic Concert Company appeared last night before an audience that filled every seat in the theatre, and left hundreds standing, and still others unablo to gain admission. That they fully deserved tho patronajje bestowed was demonstrated before the curtain had been up thirty minutes. Tho musical part of tho entertainment is ot especial excellence, being far ahead of anything heard in this city before. Miss Bertha Haman's cornet solo was deservedly ap plauded to the echo, while tho solo upon the xelophone,by her twin sister, pleased equally well. The musical program as a whole, under the directorship of Miss Irene Haman, was rendered with rare taste and intelligence. Albert Hawthorne the basso cantante, has a voice that for clearness and depth of tone, easily holds rank among the best bassos of this gen eration. His rendition of tho "Arrow and tho Song" was simply grand, he was recalled time after time, and it began to look as though tho delighted audience would keep him singing indefinitely. Dolph and Susie Levino, in their act which they aptly style "Rival Arts," furnished the mirth and pathos of the entertainment. Their efforts have a novelty and originality that is well nigh indescribable, singing, dancing, harp playing, drawing, and story telling, all so well and briskly done, that one hardly knows where to begin. Laughter and tears, astonishment and constant sur prise keep the listener's mind in constant action. The two features, however, which seemed to stand out particularly, was the singing of Miss Levino, with the harp accompaniment, and tho crayon sketches of prominent men by Mr. Levino, while the lady eulogiseB the subject in eong, the gentleman makes a life-like crayon sketch of the features. Summed up, it is the best entertainment seen hero this season. Humphrey Briefs. W. H. Eimers returned Saturday from a business trip to Chicago and St. Paul. T. K.
