GiTe na facta. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 15.1893. Another natural gas well is spouting in the vicinity of Salt Lake City. An ice gorge in the Cedar carried away two spans of the wagon bridge at Cedar Rapids Thursday. The Lincoln bank wrecker's relatives are readv to pay over $190,000 on condi tion that he is not sent to the peniten tiary. At South Omaha the question of vot ing S10.000 bonds will be submitted, to purchase and maintain a hook and lad der truck. According to the census of 1890, Chicago takes rank, by virtue of her population of 1,098,57G people, as the eighth largest city of the globe. There is a strong probability that the bill providing for a county assessor will become a law. If only the right men could bo elected, the change would bo an excellent thing. The editor of the Fremont Tribune has been counting Ts, it seems. He says that Grover is himself again, and that in his inaugural he used the personal pro noun, I, twenty-seven times. Fred. Arnijt of South Omaha was fined S50 and costs in police court the other dav for selling liquor to a minor. It is said that hoys bought beer by the bucket, becamo intoxicated, and got into a fight. An earthquake movement was felt for ten seconds in the heart of New York city early Thursday morning. Build ings wero shaken from top to bottom. The disturbance passed away in a south erly direction. If Senator North's bill in regard to just representation of cities in the county boards, under township organization, lecomes a law, as it ought to do, Colum buB will bo entitled to greater represen tation than she now has. Last Wednesday Secretary Carlislo accepted the proposition of tho clearing house of Denver to exchange Sl,OUU,llKl of the treasury notes of the issue of 1890 for $1,000,000 in gold. Good enough. Let us show the mono-metallists that their littlo game is "up." Jasper Yonsa of Brazil. Indiana, while teasing his wifo by snapping a 32-cahber revolver in her face, which ho supposed to be eniptv, an unseen cartridge was dischargcil and tho bullet entered Mrs. Yomijj's loft eye, tearing it almost from tho socket. Tho injury is fatal. The couple had been married only a short time. Such a fool is not safo to run at large. Monday of hist week the supremo conrt of tho United States at Washing ton decided that the city of St Louis is entitled to collect an annual rental of So each for telegraph poles placed in city streets. Tho general proposition holds good for all cities of tho United States that tho city has a right to say what shall and what shall not be placed upon tho streets. AsTKir of land two miles wide has been found adjoining the eastern boun dary or Deuel county which is said never to have been surveyed or platted by the government. They used to be a littlo careless about surveying in the good old contract days gono by. and it would not be at all surprising to find a gap of a couple of miles whero they closed up. Box Butte County Democrat. A Biir.. has boon introduced in the senate providing that all canning facto ries shall stamp upon their cans the date which the contents were put up. This is a good idea and it ought to be fol lowed up with another compelling farm ers to supplv their hens with rubber stamps with 'which to date their eggs. The country suffers more from overripe eggs than "aged canned goods. Fre mont Tribune. Occasionally thero happens a very singular thing, seemingly unaccounta ble exception as an intervention of divine providenco, and tho following is one of those occurrences. Under date of March 7, at Ishpenning, Mich., a tele gram savs: L:ist Friday night Edward Aplund and John Sundlad were buried under 100 tons of. rock in the Winthrop mine and were supposed to have been killed. However the party which was digging for their remains found tho men alivo andunhurt. Tho mine timber had fallen in such away as to make a small chamber and a broken air pipo supplied them with fiesh air from another part of the mine. The 70-ton traveling derrick, the larg . 'est known to mechanical engineers, has just been raised to place in position the steel roof of "Tho MacKaye Spectato rium" of Chicago. It did not need an experiment to prove that the ordinary derrick was much too light and much to small to be used efficaciously in throwing into position the200,000 pounds of steel truss work which is to be used in the roof of this building. This enormous derrick stands ISO feet high and in the raising of it thero was great difficulty. Four futile attempts wero made, each time the tackle used breaking under the enormous strain and it was only on the "fifth trial that this feat, one of the most extraordinary ever known, was success fully accomplished. The western states are making a little reputation for righteousness in the en actment of laws. There is more than one proof of this fact, but the latest is the following from Guthrie, Oklahoma territory. Good statesmanship aims at worthy objects and also succeeds by worthy means,.bnt here is the item: "In the lower houso yesterday reconsidera tion of tho anti-gambling bill was moved, but Speaker Waggoner refused to put the motion. On an appeal a mo tion prevailed voting Waggoner out of the chair, but he refused to go and said there were not enough man in the house to make him step TTa ilinrafnra Tir AAT1 fan tVlO 1f- consideration and the bill was signed Hp the irovernor. Tho measure makes any kind of gambling a felony and even prohibits progressive euchre parties where prizes are offered." At Steubenville, Ohio, the other even ing, while J. W. Riley was conducting the servicesseveral- tonghs tried to disturb the meeting The reverend gen tleman, who was brought up on a farm and was an athlete' at college, let the singing proceed while he" threshed the toughs in the aisls and landed them, outside the ghurcbJOiie 'fellow invitea iVia nroanlinr tn fltrht'ltoHt and htr-re- AA tn fha invifntinn. wwhfn tbisV follow took to his heels to avoid a sfltVti bis neeis to avoiu a wso-j ond meeting.

Washington Letter. From our regular correspondent. The republican party has turned tho government in all the departments, ex cept the jndicial, over to the democratic party, in accordance with the verdict rendered at tlio pons last, novemDer.unu it can now afford to calmly await the result, hoping for the best, and prepared to admit that it was wrong if the new congress and administration can carry out tho platform adopted by the last national convention of the demderatic party without causing serious shock to the commercial and industrial interests of the country. But it is already appar ent that the pledges of the democratic platform will not bo carried out, certain ly not. tlio on relating to the tariff. There will be no tariff smashing; only a slight shake up. Mr. Cleveland's inauguration was quite a freezing affair. Icicles were more plentiful than enthusiasm. Seats on tho street stands which were intended to be filled with peple at from SI, to S5 a head were covered by two or three inches of snow and swept by cold north west winds, which gave the participants ;- tha nnmrlA n stiff and half frozen ap pearance. The only real enthusiasm your correspondent saw displayed dur ing the day was aroused in the southern contingent, which it is needless to say was numerous, by the appearance of Gen. Fitz. Lee, of Virginia, who commanded one of the divisions. That enthusiasm was particularly boisterous when Mr. Cleveland nearly bent himself double to return tho haughty bow which was given him by the proud Leo as he rode past iio TrooiflAntinl roriowinir stand. Gen. Harrison took Mr. Cleveland from the White HouEe to tho Capitol and back again in his carnage, out lie aociineu accompanying Mr. Cleveland upon the reviewingstaud, because, for ono reason, ho had a previous engagement to attend a farewell dinner giyen to himself and the members of his cabinet and their family by ex-Postmaster General Wan namaker," at tho close of which he took a special train for Indianapolis. It is per haps true also that Mr. Harrison being human, like the rest of us, had not for gotten that Mr. Cleveland declined to stand with him upon the reviewing stand on March 4, 18S9. There isone sentence in the President's inaugural address that has carried con sternation into the ranks of tho offico sopkors. who are more numerous in Washington than over before. The lan guage is emphatic, and they have taken it as intended to be personal to them; as it doubtless was. Following is tho sen tence referred to, which is as interesting to democratic office seekers in your sec tion as to thoso here to present their claim in person:" "Uno mode or me mis appropriation of public funds is avoided when appointments to office, instead of being tho rewards of partisan activity, are awarded to thoso whose efficiency promises a fair return of work for the compensation paid to them. To secure the fitness and competency of appointees to office, and to remove from political action tho demoralizing madness for spoils, civil service reform has found a place in our public policy and laws." Ono of the direct results of this plain talk was the determination of the Tam many bosses, before they left Washing ton, that no Tammany man should be come an applicant for a federal offico, although they stand prepared to furnish men to fill as" many offices as Mr. Cleve land may offer them, but they must be offered without leing asked for, say the bosses. I have it on good authority that the issuo of bonds, which Mr. Harrison stood out so manfully against, will bo an accomplished fact just as soon as tho new administration can find a reasonable excuse, and that will not be difficult to manufacture, with tho aid of those who for personal reasons want the bonds issued. Senator Stanford is naturally very much pleased over having secured from Gen. Harrison, before ho left for Indian iiiinlis. bis accentance of the chair of constitutional law in the Leland Stan ford University of California, which was tendered him as soon as tho resnltof tho election was known. Tho ex-President will deliver his first lecture at the uni versity some time in October. Some of the regular appropriation bills had close shaves and are somewhat bungled, but all got throngh before time was called on tho Fifty-second Congress, and now there is no good reason why nn ovtrn coccinn of nnnfrrpss should ba call- Oil, but great pressure is nevertheless being brought to bear in favor of one. Senator Sherman is admitted by all to be high authority on financial matters; hence tho importance of his cheering words on the present situation. "There is nothing to indicate a panic so far as I can see. The country is prosperous, and tho gold outfloo to Europe is not neces sarily fraught with any danger in itself." It is the opinion of many that the unusual demand for gold, which has been kept up for several months will soon cease, now that congress is no lon ger in session. In the opinion of these gentlemen the demand for gold was man ufactured for no other or better purpose than to frighten congress into financial legislation. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Unniplirry Brief. M.

Though not entered on tho docket, we learn that Judge Suilivan held in the Blodgett-Gerber contest ease that thero was no election of supervisor. We have not learned whether the case will be taken to tho supreme court or not. This is the second decision against the validity of the election, so far as super visor is concerned. Sinco writing the above we have been privileged to see the decree of the court which is, in substance, that Mr. Gerber was ineligible to tho office and disquali fied for the reason that he was ono of the judges of election and acted as snob; that the election was void, and tLat the certificate should be cancelled, set aside and wholly annulled. District 44 and Vicinity. The school took a vacation last weok. Winter wheat, at this date, is in a healthy condition and has started to grow.

Ho was just going to retire and his left hand became useless but no pain whatever. He went to Co lumbus Wednesday to consult a physi cian, anddtry electricity. M. E. Clother is looking for the post office here. He is a true-blue democrat, and if democrats are to be rewarded, we do not see why Mahlon should not have it. While tho present incumbent is a worthy gentleman, it will lie with the new administration whether he will hold over or not There is no objection to him more than his politics. Music in the Schools. Editor Journal: I was highly de lighted in recently listening to the regu lar recitation in music drill in one of the rooms of the Third vard. If this is a specimen of the progress of all the rooms those who have our schools in chargo as teachers and directors ought to be con gratulated in this new feature of instruc tion, which certainly is an important part of every child's training. It is very evident that 6uch systematic teaching will produce in a short time a generation who will be able to read music for them onitrau ntid cincr with correctness. Qnr homes will be more cheerful, our church-1 es more worshipful in song, uod nas given our children voices which need to be trained as well to sing as to read. The interest and efficiency of scholars in tho departments is at once apparent to any one who takes the time to drop in occasionally as the writer has done. E.

It 8ldom FeeU m Need or Consideration f. or Others Feeling. v , ' ' II & aman'ft.foaa are tkoso of his own household, certainly a. woman's aaver et critics are'to be found there also. Few of' us ' realize how, surely our -words and actions are being weighed, and measured -by the, observers, large and small, who surround us. We are unconscious of the judgments passed, because they are usually silent ones. When they happen to be spoken out; instead, of only thought we are taken aback, 'and' sometimes appalled at the .arraignment and sentence of which we had been entirely unaware. It is the privilege of the family critic to be ruthlessly frank, regrets Harper's Bazar. Politeness is unnec essary and consideration for the feel ings of the condemned ono ridiculous ly inappropriate. Tho strictures aro given carelessly and freely, and of fense at the plain speaking is a con tingency never imagined. It is only Jennie; she always says what sho thinks." "No one minds Will; ha always speaks out" "Ono's family, of course, may say anything." And why not, pray? Children are tho most terrible of family critics. They seo so straight Your "no" to them means "no," and your yea," "yes" You cannot de ceive them with half truths or by a juggle of words. They cut through your subterfuge and convict you at onco. Their straightforward simplic ity makes you ashamed of your false hood. And of all critics, a boy is tho crud est. He is no respector of vanities and shams. His cool questions and downright remarks mako you writhe while you laugh, and laugh while you of this sort aged 15. asked lately, "have you got a sinewy neck, mamma? ' Gracious!" with a start "What do you mean?" 'Why," an inquiring and observ ing expression in his eyes "I read the other day that all literary women lmvo sinewy necks. It said one could always tell 'em that way. It was a never-failing test Did you ever no- tice it?" "Nover!" hastily judge for yourself. "You have to I'm sure I don't know." "Well" meditatively, "I think Der- haps it is true-" What answer can be given to such refreshing candor? The same unhappy writer was cast ing an appreciative eyo at one of her recent stories. "Ah." sho remarked, musingly. "It isn't so bad. I really think that story is pretty good, affer all." Alas! Tho cold and heartless critic was within hearing. "Mamma, is there anything you over write you don't think is pretty good?" But the victim has become hard ened. She can only murmur. "Now, may heaven deliver me from family criticism!" A WONDER IN MUSIC. A Presto by 3Ieudelsohn Which Very Fi-w Could Execute. Sir Jamc3 Paget says that ho once heard Mile. Janotha render a presto by Mendelssohn in which sho had to play 5.595 notes in four minutes and three seconds! Every ono of theso notes involved certain movements of the fingers, and in many thero were movements laterally as well as thoso up and down. Let us say that there were three distinct movements for each note. As there were twenty-four notes per second she moved her fingers at least seventy-two distinct times each second. Moreover, each of those notes was determined by the will and allotted to a cer tain placo. with a certain force at a certain timo and with a cer tain duration. Therofore there were four distinct qualities in each of the seventy-two movements in each sec ond. Such were tho transmissions outward. And all thoso wero condi tional on consciousness of the position of each hand and each finger before it was moved, and by the sound and the force of each touch. Therofore there were three conscious sensations to every note, according to the St Louis Republic. There were seventy-two transmis sions per second. 144 to and fro. and those with constant chaugo of quality. And then, added to tnat an tno time the memory was remembering each note in its due timo and placo, and was exercised in tho comparison of it with others that camo before. So that it would bo fair to say that there were not less than 200 transmissions of nerve force to and from tho brain outward and inward every second dur ing that wonderful performance. A CURIOUS WAGER. Agreed to See Which Could Assume the Mo it Singular Character. A wager was mado in 1806 in the Castle Yard. York. England, between Thomas Hodgson and Samuel White head as to which should succeed in assuming the most singular character. Umpires were selected, whose duty it was to decide upon tho comparative absurdity of tho costumes in which the two men were to appear. On the appointed day Hodgson came before the umpires decorated with bank-notes of various values, his coat and vest being entirely covered with them. Besides these he had a row. of five guinea pieces down his back, a netted purse of gold around his head and a plajcard on hia back bearing the legend John Bull. " Whitehead came on the scene dressed like a woman on one side, one-half of his face painted and a silk stocking and slipper on one foot and leg. The other half of his face was blackened so as to resemble a negro; on the corresponding side of his body he wore a gaudy, long-tailed linen coat; his left on that side being incased in a half a pair of leather breeches and a boot with a spur. He wore a wig of sky-blue braided down his back and tied with yellow, red and orange colored ribbons. One would naturally fancy that he presented the most singular and ludicrous appear ance, but the umpires must have thought differently, as they awarded the stakes, some 20, to Hodgson. St bouis Republic. faTCBtlve Tun or Mind. Who says that John Bull is not in ventive? An enterprising country publisher, wbo has noticed that im mense numbers of people suffered from an almost unconquerable repugnance to letter-writing, has prepared a special postcard for the use of lazy correspondents. The back of the card is divided lengthwise into ten equal spaces, and the energies of the reluctant scribe are spurred by the following sugges tive headings, one of which is con spicuously printed to the left of each of the divisions: 1. Date. 2. Excuse for not having written sooner. 3. Stater of health (a) of self, (b) or family. 4. Tho writer's recent experiences. 5. News. 6. Family gossip. 7. Questions to be answered in your next 8. Love to . 9. Love from . 10. Sig nature. London Tid-Bits. BREAKING THE CORD. It Is svEmx Yrtaadhlp That Has No In- r 'terruptlon. , Deacon Jones and Elder White had lived on adjoining farms for over thirty years, and never.a word;of dis pute had passed between them, avers the Detroit FreePress. Their wagons, plows.' drags, hoes, rakes and other utensils were used in common. They had lots side by side in the graveyard, and more than once they had loaned and borrowed chairs for a funeral. Two brothers would not have agreed as well as these two men did in politics.' religion and all else. One afternoon as the older was mow ing his dooryard tho deacon came over to trade newspapers with him. and they sat down under a cherry tree to talk. Pretty soon along came a stranger who announced that he was a surveyor, and ho asked if they didn't want the lino run. "Wiry, bless you!" replied the el der, "we've bin livin' by thatline fur thirty years!" That doesn't make it right," re plied tho survoyor. "I guess that line is right on the spot" said the deacon. The survoyor wanted a job. and he kept talking and talking, and finally offered to run the line so cheap that the older said: "Wo might do it just to hunt up tho old land marks." "Well I'm willin' to pay my sheer" replied the deacon. After the stranger had seen their deeds and dug out the old stakes as a starting point he got down to business, and in about half an hour he an nounced that the lino-fonce was four feet over on the deacon. "I alius suspected it " said the deacon, "but 1 didn't keer about thom four feet." "And I've knowed for over twenty years that you was over five feet on to mo:" roplied tho elder. -I had the lino run that time you went to Ohio, but I didn't want to say nuthin'." "I'll warrant my work to bo cor rect " said tho surveyor. Can't be." replied the elder. "He orter know his bizness," put in tho deacon. "What! D'yo claim that I'm four feet on to you?" "I've alius suspected." "Wall, 'tain't so. and I'll bet farm 'lain't! You'vo been bavin' feet of my land all this timo!" Can't see it that way." "But I kin!" "Might as well call mo a liar!" "If anybody lies 'taint mo!" the five Of courso not! It's me, I s'nose! Elder? I'll git rijrht off your land!" "And you kin stay off till you git some sense!" Sense! I've go more sonse in my little linger than you havo in your whole body!" "Git off! I hain't no use for land stealers!" Nor I. cither, and don't you rilo me or I'll lay hands on you!' "Come and lay!" "I would if you wasn't sich an old man! Don't you nover daro t speak to mo again! I've just found out what a snake in the grass you are!" "Speak to .you! Id see you dyin' fust! Go home and. pav ver hoti3st debts!" And the surveyor shouldered his in strument and went off down the high way softly singing: "All Is Peace Over Thero." He had accomplished his mission. Hotv u It Uouef Tho following has been submitted for publication in this department: A chambermaid is said to havo put twelve commercial travelers into eleven bed-rooms; and yet to havo given each man a separate apart ment "Now. " sho said, "if you two gen tlemen will go into bedroom Na 1 and wait a few minutes I'll find a spare room for one of you as soon us I have shown the others their rooms. Hav ing thus stowed tho first two in No. 1. she put the third in No. 'J, tho fourth in Na 3. the fifth in No. 4. the sixth in Na 5, tho seventh in No. 6. the eighth in Na 7. the ninth in No. 8. the tenth in Na 9, the eleventh in No. 10. Having completed the task she went back to room No. 1. where you will remember she had left the tw'olfth gentleman alone with tho first and said; "I havo now furnished each of tho others with a room and have a room to spare; if you please, step into room Na 11 and you will find it empty." How was it done? St Louis Ropubhc. Good Advice. A young lawyer, who had recently been admitted to tho bar of a Texas town, asked an older lawyer for ad vice. "I want to ask your advice, judge, about a very important matter. " Well, what is it?" Lawyer Howl has been telling everybody that I am a donkey. Don't you think I ought to fight him. or sue him for damages?" "You bay he called you a donkey?" Yes." "Then fight him by all means. If you suo him We will prove it on you."
