Mbs. Elise Hagermax Depew, wife of
Chauncey M. Depew, died in New York
city on Monday afternoon.
. At Sing Sing, N. Y., on Monday, at
r 12:40, Carlyle Harris was electrocuted
for the murder of bis wife. A current
of 1,760 volts passed through his body
and death was pronounced instantan
eous by the attending physicians. Har-
ris last words were : "I have one further
.observation to make. I desire to say
that I am absolutely innocent."

ulation in the United States has been

The World' Fair!
When Adam was a boy, world's fairs
were not thought of. They're a modern
product. And the more modern they are
the better they are.
The Columbian Exposition is the
latest and best a long way the best.
'The whole wide world has combined to
make it worthy of the nineteenth cen
tury and no endeavor was more success
ful. The great fair is dazzling in brilliancy ;
overpowering in size; magnificent alike
in conception and execution.
A visit to it is a privilege of a life
time, and the easiest and best way to
avail yourself of that privilege is to
take the Burlington Route to Chicago.
The local agent will gladly give you any
information you stand in need of. Ex
cursion rates every day.

"There aro three chief things which
Btrikeyou about this fair, after you have
contemplated it for a time; first, its
beauty; second, its stupendousness; and
third, its arrangements. I am not sure
but that the last quality is the most
remarkable of the three." writes Julian
Hawthorne, in a delightful article, beau
tifully illustrated, in the May New
Peterson.
"For here is a summary of the world,
as regards whatever in it is useful and
lovely, condensed into a space of some
six hundred acres, more or less. The
problem of selection having been dis
posed of, it remains to so dispose what
you have selected as not only to show it
all to advantage, but to render it all
easily comprehensible in the mind: so
that one can readily take it all in, and
domicile it comfortably in his memory.
To do this is to accomplish a real work
of art quite as much of a one as to con
struct the finoart building itself. Ar
rangement is as necessary here as in a
volume of philosophy or in a great
romance or poem, and for the same rea
son; the attention must be led in an
orderly manner from the most compre
hensive to the most particular subjects,
so that the mutual relations and propor
tions of all may be justly understood and
assume a logicid sequence in the mem
ory." "When I say that the entire rationale
and picture of this enormous exhibition
stands ljefore the mental eye of one who
has beheld it, so as to admit of his going
over it step by 6top in his mind, without
confusion or uncertainty, I havo paid the
arrangers the highest compliment there
is to pay."

Purposes?
A case is in the Biipremo court of the
state, coming from Hastings, the decis
"" ion of which will be looked for with con
siderable interest, not only at Hastings,
but in other cities somewhat similarly
situated. The contest is between the
city of Hastings and Joe Hansen. In
1887, before the boom struck Hastings,
. . Hansen owned a fine farm which lay on
; the east of the town just without its
limits. During the boom, when all the
. adjacent farms were platted and the
V--." city limits extended, Hansen's farm was
4 . taken in with the rest. In fact at that
time it was verv good city property, or
." ; was considered so by some, and he was
" ; . offered $60,000 for it, which he refused.
." . But Hansen was liberal and gave twenty
.". - acres of his finest land to the Hastings
::'''' college and the buildings are .now lo
.".".. cated on it Since that time he has
, " . been paying city taxes on the balance of
'-" his farm. He finally concluded that
while it was extra good farm land, there
. . was not much in it as city property, so
. ": he brought action before Judge Beall in
.'district court to havo it set outside the
.- " city limits and taxed only as farm land.
A decree was granted in his favor, but
. " ' the city appealed. They think they had
.- - better fight it out now and win if they
can, because there are others who would
'" likely follow Hansen's example and the
, city thus be deprived of considerable of
"its revenue. The article from which wo
" condense this account says that the
. general sentiment is in fayor of Hansen.
Washington better.
From oar regular correspondent.
Gen. Harrison must smile when he
' reads of democrats claiming credit for
the administration for its financial
policy.' The administration has no finan
cial policy, or if it has the public has
not been taken into its confidence.
In using a part of the gold reserve
fund to redeem treasury notes it has
bat followed the policy laid down by
President Harrison and Secretary Fos
ter and while it deserves credit for
having been sensible enough to have
followed the republican plan of dealing
with the gold problem it should not be
credited with having orignated that '
policy. In fact it has yet originated no
policy on any subject, unless the send
ing of Mr. Blount to Hawaii to lower
the American flag can be dignified by
the name of policy.
Ex-Secretary Busk was a voluntary
witness on Saturday in the investigation
of the weather bureau. He was ques
tioned in regard to several appointments
made by him, and stated that be con
sidered them good and proper appoint
ments and would make them again if he
were secretary. And as one of the ladies
he appointed for temporary duty has
since received a regular appointment
from Secretary Morton it looks as
though "Uncle Jerry" was talking sense,
as he usually does. None of the sensa
tions promised have been brought out
by this investigation, which is daily be
coming more farcical.
The democratic commissioner of pen
sions goes on duty this" week, and much
interest is felt in his actions. All sorts
of rumors are current about his inten
tions, but as his acts will soon begin to
speak for themselves I shall wait be
fore criticising. Judge Lochren iB so
highly spoken of by those familiar with
him during, and since the war that it
seems only fair to do this.
Political converts have been, since
there were political parties, more zeal
ous than the old party war-horses, and
Secretary Gresham has proved that he
is no exception to the rule, no nas
made more changes in the important
positions in the state department than
have been made in any other depart
ment, and what makes this all the more
striking is that it has been an unwritten
rule of that department since it was es
stablished that no changes should take
place on account of a change in the head
of the department, with the exception
of the two or three men whoso relations
with the secretary are of a confidential
nature, and that unwritten rule has
been observed by all the secretaries ex
cept Gresham. Ho, although not yet
two months in office, has left only one
important place unchanged third as
sistant secretary and the reason for
that exception probably lies in his in
ability to find a democrat possessing the
peculiar qualifications needed to per
form the duties of Mr. Adee, the pres
ent third assistant.
Comptroller of Currency, Eckels has
taken charge of his office. He good na
turedly confessed that he knows noth
ing about bauking,-which is the princi
pal business with which his office has to
deal, but says he intends that all of his
subordinates shall be banking experts.
He dosen't explain how he will select
them without knowing anything about
the business himself.

Last Tuesday night a thief visited the
farm of W. W.Biddell, near Lincoln and
relieved him of eighty-five chickens. Mr.
Biddell traced the party towards the
city, and suspects a man who was heard
to make a contract with a butcher for
eight dozen two days before.
S C. Lodan's littlo daughter, Ella,
narrowly escaped a severe accident
Thursday. Attempting to cross a street

was but littlo injured.
Jacob H. Hauri, a butcher doing busi
ness on Main street, wjis arrested and
brought before Police Judge Holmes on
a charge of petit larceny in stealing
about twenty-seven hens and roosters
from P. Pitsenbarger, brakeman on the
F. E. & M. V. Some of the missing
fowls were found in Hauri's possession
this morning, and ho explained their
presenco there by saying he bought them
Saturday night, but was unablo to tell
who sold them to him. After hearing
the evidence tho Judge sentenced him
to return the poultry he still had on
.hand to the owners, to pay them in
money double the valuo of the balance,
and to pay a fine of S3 anil costs. Tho
total amount in cash he had to pay was

A party of ladies, it is alleged, applied
for rooms in one of the world's fair
hotels, according to a veracious news
paper writer. "We ain't no appartment
this morning,' said the man, who was a
Texan, and had come to Chicago to just
rent rooms for the fair. "But I'll tell
ye what I'll do. We're goin' to put an
other story on our hotel this afternoon,
and we'll plaster one room and get your
things in it by three o'clock.
The Tribune hopes the committee of
arrangements has carefully inspected
the pedigreo of the Duke of Yeragua
and has determined for a dead certainty
that he is what he purports to be, and
has made sure tho tap root of his family
tree runs back to that bold and hardy
mariner, Captain Christopher Columbus.
The juke is being received hero by the
best society we havo on file that is to
say the richest and most fashionable,
the Murray Hill and tailor made society;
he is being given the right of way every
where, on sea and land, and suites of
rooms a mile long, supplied with clean
towels and a fire, are being opened to
him at the hotels, and there is a great
deal of eclaw about it all. It would be
very humiliating indeed if, after the
juke returns home and the fair is ended
we should discover him to be an im
poster and only a plug dealer in horse
sausage or weinerwurst at Madrid, or a
soap maker at Castile. We want no
6henanagan played on us in these im
portant matters and if the juke has not
yet submitted bis genealogy to a compe
tent microscopist so that we may know
there are Columbus microbes and cor
puscles in it, he cannot do so any too
quickly to guarantee a continuation of
the round of pleasure he is now enjoy
ing at our expense. Fremont Trib.
Low Top Apple Trees.
In a number of the Nebraska Farmer,
John Tannalnll of the Columbus nursery
has some sensible things to say in regard
to low-top apple trees: "I let the bran
ches start on one, and two-year-old trees
from the ground and keep the main top
cutback. Set trees out when three years
old. I have such trees set four years,
one-half bearing last season. I have
five varieties. But I have to grow high
top trees for the trade, as all my custom
ers come to my place to get their trees,
and as every nineteen m twenty want
high top trees, and would be disappoint
ed if they did not get them. I sold a
fanner some low top trees fouryears ago
and this spring he said he did not un
derstand why his trees do not bloom as
mine did as he had taken extra jcare of
them. I went to see his trees, and Iwas
surprised to see that, he did not have a
limb on his trees that he bought with
them. He had been cutting off the low
er limbs ever since be got them, and so
giving the sun a good chance to born
the trunk of the tree. My experience
has been that it is bad to have the sun
shine on the trunk of a tree. I want the
limbs high enough to just be off the
ground. My apple trees have the same
limbs on that started the first or second
season after they were grafted, conse
quently they bear young and are very
healthy, and I am never troubled with
any insects ou my trees. Another fraud
is budded apple trees, but as a great
many tree men brag them up so much
we have to grow some of them, also.
I claim that the biggest fraud in Nebras
ka th'it is allowed by law is the tree
agent."
For years, Nebraska tree-growers have
been trying to remedy the scorching of
'the southwest quarter of the trunks of
the trees, and it looks as though this
method of Mr. Tannahill's would be a
specific. We think, however, that our
friend John is a little too sweeping in
his denunciation of tree agents. Having
himself been somewhat in the businoss,
ho may know some things the rest of us
don't. How is it, John?

as famous for its beautiful, healthful
situation and its pure, rest-laden air as

Tho petition of C. A. Speice and sixty
one others, to the mayor, for the ap
pointment of John Bader as night police

The observer would call the attention
of his readers to a peculiarity of this
month compared with the same month a
year ago, showing that in the matter of
temperature our own feelings would be
an unsafe standard, thus we see that the
mean temperature for April this year is
1.20s higher than the correspondent of
last year while on seventeen days ice was
found this year to six days last year,
showing that the extremes were leas
last year.

They spied aa idiot rambling by
Who laughed at the man insane.
And the idea Washed through a voter's soul
That this waa a "woman's iplane."
And then they builded a cradle wide,
la this land of the brave and free.
And dumped "us" in with the stricken crew
And "paupers from o'er the sea."
They call it the "cradle of liberty"
But there's mutiny 'mong its crew.
The "government fathers" are groping 'round
For the ship's "log" old, not new
We are climbing out of the leaky boat.
We've broken its rotten oar.
And the empty lable a "woman's sphere"
Is consigned to the "never-more."
