Scaklet fever is prevalent at HowellB and the schools have been closed. Mr. S. H. H. Clark stays with the Union Pacific after all, as its president. J. D. Calhoun, one of the best news paper men in the state, is afflicted with erysipelas, and is delirious for hours at a time. Dr. James McCosn, ex-president of Princeton, and one of the really great men of tho world, has passed his eighty second year. Ccd.uiy .fc Co. and N. K. Fairbank & Co. have had the pork products market under their control the past year, and made out of it $,000,000. A CmcAoo company has offered to place telephones in that city at the same rental as now paid for the first month, and thereafter at 1.50 a month. It is said that tho President has inti mated that ho will call an extra session of congress to dispose of the tariff ques tionto begin in September or October. The total received for bearing the ex penses of legislators beyond their sixty day limit waB $220. They seem deter mined to do something before they adjourn. TnE Nebraska State Epworth League will meet in convention at Omaha, June 1-L Bishop Warren, among others, is to be present. Arrangements are being made for a largo meeting.

The package was traced to his hands, and ho furthermore confessed to one witness that ho waB an abortionist, arlKnor tlint. lift was a "dandy." A man named Louis Grimm and a German girl, loth of Parkston, South Dakota, are supposed to bo implicated. The city attorney of Nebraska City has been instructed by tho council to draft an ordinance for the collection of a ren tal from telegraph, telephone and electric light companies for each iole in the city limits. The News remarks: "This extra tax on tho company will have the effect of reducing its quarterly dividends and allowing the people to get back some of tho money out of which they have been robbed by" the extortionate rates charged. It is safe to say that no sympathy will be wasted on the telegraph company on account of being compelled to pay this tax." The Review of Reviews for April is unusually profuso in its illustrations. Perhaps "none of its other illustrated articles will attract more attention than one upon tho question of dress reform from the standpoint of the World's Fair. The Woman's National Council is pro posing to inaugurate a movement for short and comfortable walking dresses, and the Review of Reviews publishes a number of very interesting portraits of well-known ladies as photographed in their dress-reform street gowns, several of the photographs being specially taken for this number. TnE senate has confirmed the follow ing nominations: Max Judd of Missouri, consul general at Vienna; William H. Sims of Mississippi, first assistant secre tary of the interior; John S.

The confirmation of Mr. Risley to be minister to Denmark was made public today. Saturday afternoon fire totally des troyed "Crow's Nest," the summer home of Joseph Jefferson, tho great actor, sit uated on the shores of Buttermilk bay, Louisiana. Oil from the gasoline tank covered the cellar. Wright, tho hired man, was called by the woman who sup posed the tluid was water. He shouted to them to tlee for their lives, but they Btood dumbfounded. Tho gas commu nicated with the fire in the furnace and in an instant there was a terrific explo sion; the familv cook, Helen McGrath, perished. It is estimated that 8150,000 worth of paintings were consumed, and that the total loss will be 8250,000. While sauntering around his hotel propertv one day last week, D. J. Crelhn noticed'a stream of clear water bubbling through the ground at the outer edge of the sidewalk in 'front of tho building facing Bridge street. The 6tream rises above the surface with considerable force and is remarkable for its pnrity. Mr. Crellin intends enlarging the fissure at no distant day, sink tubing therein and convev the water through his hotel by 'means of pipes, thereby putting his val uable discovery to practical use. It is needless to say that "Uncle Dan" feels quite elated over his wonderful discovery and is confident he possesses a genuine artesian well with unlimited capacity. West Point Progress. In Chicago, that city of lofty build ings, tho highest point of vantage is 220 feet Thirty feet above this toward the land of clouds will the main dome of "The MacKave Spectatorium" rear its head. From this tower an exceptionally fine view of the World's Fair grounds and buildings can be had. There are also located in this building, at a height of 100 feet, two immense restaurants and & vast roof garden. To relieve the tedi ousness of the ascent and to supply their patrons with swift, sure and safe means of reaching these altitudinous points the Columbian Celebration Company has made a contract with the Standard Ele vator Company of Chicago to supply fifteen elevators, the largest and best ever built for passenger traffic, which shall be able to carry 10,000 persons each hour. These elevators, in themselves an exhibit of much interest, will be supplied with every appliance for speed and safety, i Delinquent Taxes.

One who in good faith attends upon a public Bale of property for delinquent taxes at the time named in tho adver tisement and requests the treasurer to offer the delinquent property for sale and demands the right to bid therefor, has such an interest therein as will en title him to prosecute proceedings by mandamus to compel the treasurer to discbarge his duty by offering said prop erty for sale. A Wail from Dodge County. Tim ShnvW Onill in of the oninion that the proper thing to do is for the state to build and maintain all bridges exceeding a specified length; that it coBts too much for counties to build and main tain those spanning the Platte river, especially when the expense falls entirely on the counties on the north side of tho river. The disastrous breaking up of the ice this spring has thrown heavy burdens upon the counties and towns on the north of the river and it is a monot onous repetition that depletes bridge funds with discouraging rapidity. Tho day that the boundary line between Dodge and Saunders county was estab lished on the south bank of the stream in order to permit owners of toll bridges to exact tribute from the pnblic was an unlucky one for us. Ever sinco that dato we have been going down into our pockets and building bridge after bridge unaided, except in rare instances by con tributions, by our neighbors. There are just two ways to play oven with the Platte river; one is to narness it uy rcinnls and the other is to pass a law abolishing it entirely. Fremont Trib. Thomas F.

Mr. Cleveland's rules for the govern ment of presidential appointments, an nounced from time to time since his last inauguration, are entirely praiseworthy; l.nf tinfnrrinmtnlv for him and his fame. there is one little drawback to his occu pying the proud place in the country s esteem to which such an excellent set of rules would seem to entitle him; he doesn't live up to them, except in cases where tho applicant hasn't "pull" enough impress him. The rule against tho ap pointment of ex-office holders has been the oftenest reiterated, but it is now claimed that it was only devised for the purpose of letting down easy a lot of men who held office between '85 and '89. but who have since lost their grip and become ineligible in the eyes of Mr. Cleveland, as a number of "ox's" have already been appointed to some of the most desirable positions. When Mr. Cleveland was asked by a congressman to appoint one of tho Pres ident's forty-leventh consins to an insig nificant office he became indignant and read tho congressman a scorching lecture on the evils of nepotism, receiving there for the plaudits of the country, but it did not take long to find out that the rule against nepotism was like all the rest made to be broken. The knowl edge was obtained by an enterprising citizen who filed an application for tho U. S. consulship at Sheffield, England -one of the best in the service now held by Mr. Benjamin Folsom, Mrs. Cleve land's first cousin. He was informed that tho anti-nepotism rule did not apply to "cousin Ben," who was already in office, so that public office is still a fam ily snap, notwithstanding that "public trust" business. A portion of the reciprocity work of the last administration is soon to be un done. A friend of Mr. Cleveland it? authority for the statement that he will shortly withdraw tho discriminating duties imposed by President Harrison on coffee and hides from Venezuela, Hayti and Columbia. It will be remembered that these duties were imposed because of the failure or refusal of these conn tries to negotiate reciprocity treaties with us, and now if they can have the same privilege that countries enjoy which did negotiate reciprocity treaties with us it stands to reason that some of those countries will abrogate the existing treaties by which products and manu factures of the United States are allowed entranco upon better terms than are en joyed by those of European countries, as countries, like individuals, will seldom pay for what may be had for nothing. Ever' new order issued by the admin istration isn't a reform by a jug full. For instance, the order shutting out visi tors to Mr. Cleveland on Mondays, and closing the offices of the heads of de partments to visitors on cabinet days Tuesdays and Fridays. This is some thing entirely new, and senators and representatives are doing some rather hard kicking about it as it only leaves them three days in the week to see the President and heads of departments. This idea does not seem to agree with the claim so often made that this admin istration was to be nearer to the people than any of its predecessors. No other administration ever" found it necessary to shut out the people three days in every week, exclusive of Sundays. It seems that the"Jeffersonian simplicity" was all exhausted in the campaign. There's too much cackling oer the alleged economy in dismissing a fow employes from the departments. Wait until the end of the administration and see if it has not spent more money than was spent by the Harrison administra tion. As the case stands it is a duplica tion of the "billion dollar congress" cry which followed the close of the Fifty first congress. A Few Words About the Jersey Cow by Miss Anne C. M. Boyd. From a series of prize essays published by the American Jersey Cattle Club. The American people appreciate tine cattle perhaps more than any other nation, and are always glad to read about item even though it be a few short words. We come naturally by this fondness, for are we not a mixture of other nations, and have not other nations re vered and even worshiped us? Long before our day ancient writers recog nized cattle as a noble race. Has not Homer often likened his heroes to them I In the Psalms we find them spoken of as an especial blessing of God. Solomon caused twelve brazen oxen to be placed in the temple, three facing each of the four cardinal points. On their backs they supported a great brazen lavcr or sea. Now, Solomon is generally beleved to be the wisest man that ever .lived. Perhaps he intended to foretell that cattle would become a support to all the four quarters of the earth, as they are today. Even in infant America they support the greatest in dustry of the country, and over two thousand million dollars arc invited in the dairy busi ness. Here we touch very closely on the Jersey, for she, alove all other, is the greatest butter producer. It is to the Jersey and what she J has done for us that I wish to call j'our atten tion. Anyone can see that there is profit in the Jersey; on the same amount of food she will produce more butter than any other cow. Knowing this, it seems straugc that dairymen should keep anj- other breed. Authentically wc can trace them only to the Island of Jersey. There are many theories as to what crosses produced them, but no one has yet satisfacto rily solved the problem. The sacred cattle of India, strange as it may seem, closely resemble the Jersey in many particulars. How much bet ter would it be if the modern farmer could be made to believe that from the Indian's blind rcverer.ee for cattle he miht learn a les tim of ftirlicarar.ee and gentleness toward hi: iienl ! Wiiat more delightful home could these fa mous cows have than the green and fertile pastures of fhe Jersey Island? The Jersey eow s-eems to tell us by her gentle and satis fied expression that she has come from a laud where the climate is mild and equable, and where the first object of the people is to make her comfortable and contented. It is astonish ing how much the Jersey cow has improved ill the last fifty years. They were once 111 shaped lieaMs, which knew nothing of warm stables or goKl food but the people of Jeisey had their ideal, and by the most careful at tention and very hard work they brought their imperfect materials up to the standard Jersey of today. The race improved so rapidly that the rcale of jtoiiits was revised three times during ten years. In 1850 some American.- of influence became interested in the Jerseys, and began to make importations, w hich have been almost constant ever since. This America!! interest gave a new stimulus to the Jerseynien, and a great increase of cattle has been the result. The American Jersey Cattle Club has advanced the Jersey interest very much by keeping the records and by or ganizing the official tet. by u hieh the Jersey has been seen to surprise her most ardent ad mirerers. A Jersey cow is known to have produced rorty-siv pounds tw elve and a half ounces of butter in seven days. I might enumerate many extraordinary eases, but doubtless they are all well know n to my readers. The Jersey of today it the most beautiful of eows. We find In her a variety of colors and shadings; a frame of such delicacy and fineness that even a novice could not help being attracted bv her symmetry. In size, the Jersey is rather small er than other breeds, but in America there is a tendency to cultivate an increase. You sel dom see a .at Jer.-ey, for she is by nature a dairy cow. She a-siiuilates food "in such a manner as to put her fat into her milk instead of on her bones. It is ofteu said that the deep orange lining on her ears is a positive siiiu that the animal can give to her butter that wonderful golden tint without the aid of butter coloring. When fed on grass the Jer sey imparts that golden tint to her fmtter to such a degree that it is unsurpassed by any other cow. Too much cannot be said in praise of these valuable little cow, hut, like hll really good tilings, she speaks for herself. Whoever has the good fortune to own even one of them will say after reading my few words of praise, "Ha! hn! 1 knew it ail before." AlWITIOXAL LOCAL. Thero is a crooked business in real estate traffic that ought to bo known all over tho country, because, sis wo are in formed, it is being "worked" on the unwary for all the money that can be made out of it. Away back in the his tory of the country, a man supposed ho had a grant of land from the Spanish government but tho title has never haul tho sanction of the U. S. government, and is considered of no value whatever. Tho tract is called the Don Joseph Val liere grant, and the location is in Chris tian county and five other counties in southern Missouri, and several counties in north Arkansas. We gather this much from a circular issued by Rogers .t Taylor, abstracters, Ozark, Missouri. Some recent transactions here call imme diate attention to the swindles that are being perpetrated by means of this "trading stock,'" and lay tho foundation for a suit in court. Tho papers are evi dently gotten up for fiaudulent purpo ses, and calculated to deceive those not familiar with legal forms. Thomas M. Bell of York, Nebraska, is a signer to one of tho deeds, while the name, "Wil liam Youngberger" appears appended to another. The now somewhat noted A. M. Swartzendruver's namo also appears on the deed. A trade was made, by means of these pretended deeds, with Mrs. Margaret Bennett of this city for one tract of 1(0 acres of land in Holt county, this state, with a small mortgage on it, and a tract of 120 acres in Wheeler, clear of incumbrance, the transaction being done through Samuel Pollock. Mr. Woosley, attorney for Mrs. Bennett, has prepared and filed a petition alleging grounds of action for tho relief of his client, and those of our readers who shall ever have any transaction in which the titlo to land is involved will do well to know what they are trading for. The Omaha Beo of March ."1st contains a lengthy account of the transactions of W. M Co well and Thomas Bell, and suits have been brought in the U. S. courls of Nebraska and Iowa for alleged fraudulent use of the United States mails in circulating the land dodgers by which the victims were led on to pur chase of worthless pieces of land at ex orbitant prices. It would seem that the whole scale of fraud, from low C to high B fiat had been run by these fellows in their endeavor to get something for nothing. We believe there has been nothing equal to it in the history of tho state. District Attorney Baker is look ing after the rascals. Humphrey Briefs.

Some of Nebraska exchanges are advocating that, (as the supreme court of the United States has decided that cities have right to do so), the city coun cils should place a good-sized tax upon all corporations using poles in the streets or alleys of the city for telegraph, tele phone or electric light purposes. It might do, in Nebraska cities generally, to inaugurate 6uch a policy, but here,we believe that so far as the electric lights are concerned, our citizens who own and operate the plant, have little enough revenue from it already, without adding to their expense. From the prices charged, however, for service by the tel egraph and telephono companies, it would seem that they could well afford to pay a tax on the poles they use. M. J.
