The Belmont, Morgan, Cleveland and
Rothcbilds syndicate has outdone any
thing ever known in the way of specu

recent bond transaction is over six mil
lion dollars, and the indications are that
almost twice this amount will be realized,
but at the quotations at which such
securities were selling, and figures at
which they can bo negotiated any day,
the profit is $6,240,000. A steal of such
stupendous proportions cannot fail to
attract attention, and people of all par
ties are astonished at its magnitude.
Tho Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record says: "It is doubtfnl if
there was ever a financial operation in
the world before that paid a large profit
for so quick a trade and such little risk.
There was absolutely no risk at all, be
cause the market price of bond3 bearing
a less rate of interest, and running for a
shorter period, was between 4 and 5 per
cent higher than tho rate paid by the
syndicate, and the whole business was
closed up within a week. Mr. Belmont
and Mr. Morgan made two visits to
Washington, spent three or four hours
at tho white house, and four or five hours
at the treasury. There is nothing in the
fables of Indian opulence, nor in the
Arabian Nights' nor in the myths of
'Midas and Croesus' more remarkable
and it is certain that no king or poten
tate, in fact or fiction, in modern times
or in the middle ages, ever won $6,240,000
in a week or ever made so much money
from a single transaction. Even Monte
Cristo was not credited with so large a
windfall as 0,000,000." Chicago Ex
press. The Festive Cyclone in the South.
A dispatch from Augusta, Georgia,
under date of the 20th gives particulars
of a terrible storm as follows:
A cyclone passed over the southwest
ern part of the city this morning, doing
considerable damage to property. The
large mill of Miller & Co., in the track of
the cyclone, was partly blown down.
The round house of tho Central railroad
was demolished and several 6m all houses
were unroofed. Men working in the
round house of the Central road had
miraculous escapes, some taking refuge
under the engines. Three small children
who were out were blown some distance
and badly hurt. The damage to property
amounts to several thousand dollars.
The cyclone went northeast, as yet no
advices of damage have been received
from the country. About fifty houses
were wrecked, mostly small ones occu
pied by negroes, who, with their families,
have been made homeless.
Columbus, Georgia, and vicinity was
also visited, the storm striking there at 5
o'clock in the morning. The cyclonic
disturbance was greater in Girard, Ala
bama, across the liver, opposite Colum
bus. The roof of the fertilizer manufac
tory was carried off and the outhouses-
completely demolished. Four houses
were blown down. Fortunately, the
occupants, who are cotton factory opera
tives, were up at the time, and escaped
injur'. No loss of life is reported, but
the damage to property is considerable.
The amount is not estimated. All the
bridges in Girard were swept away and
traveling is seriously impeded.
Little now has been learned in con
nection with the llolton lynching case.
Keya Paha county authorities are push
ing the clews at hand and are making all
efforts to overtake the guilty. It was
learned at Springview last Wednesday
night, that Attorney General Churchill
would aid the local attorney in prosecut
ing the investigation. County Attorney
C. W. Lear is now at the scene of the
crime near Brocksburg. Word was
brought in that he had arrested two men
named Hunt and Miller as perpetrators
of the dreadful deed. These men are
desperate criminals and have been mixed
up in a nnmber of lawless affairs. Their
latest known exploit was the holding up
of Dr. Ellis on the road from Butte,
Boyd county, to Bonesteel, S. D., some
two weeks ago. It is almost impossible
to get accurate information as to the
status of tho case, owing to the remote
ness of Brocksburg and tho fact that tho
coroner, sheriff and county attorney are
all there looking into the case. At this
time no one knows anything of the
nature of the evidence against Hunt and
Miller. It is the belief, however, that
they are only two of a number of men
who were interested in putting the
woman out of the way, though probably
not more than two were actually engag
ed in it.
One of those dreadful mine horrors is
reported from Evanston, Wyoming, as
occurring March 21. At least sixty men
are beyond help; fifty-one women are
widows who were happy wives Thurs
day. Out of sixty-one persons affected,
fifty-eight were killed instantly. Around
the mine is a population of about 2,000.
Many families are bereft of their fathers
or sons. A more sorrowful community
could not be found. This is the third
disastrous explosion in the vicinity. In
1881, No. 2 "mine exploded, killing thirty
six Chinese and four white men; in 1886,
thirty-six were killed. There are fifty
widows and two hundred and fifty or
phaned children as a result of the disas
ter. About thirty of the men killed
belonged to the Ancient Order of United
Workmen, in which they were insured
for $2,000 each. All agree that the
canse of the explosion was a miner
putting in a large charge of powder to
throw down a big amount of coal for the
next morning. This charge set fire to
what is known as dust, being composed
of minute particles of coal mixed with
air, and makes a dangerous compound.
It is well known among those familiar
with Queen Victoria's affairs that rheu
matism of the knees has lately not only
developed complete loss of power over
both, but has extended to the back and
arms and that a fatal issue is to be fear
ed at almost any time. Meanwhile Rose
bery is in almost complete retirement, in
the country, and the premiership is prac
tically out of commission. His hair has
turned gray in a few days, owing to
insomnia. Princess Beatrice, who is
now the Queen's constant companion,
has of late been always present during
her interviews with the ministers, and is
recognized in official circles as practi
cally the wielder of all the royal prero
gatives. It is well understood that the
queen has willed this favored daughter
the bulk of her savings, believed to be
$75,000,000, together with Osborne and
Balmoral, both residences being the
private property of the Queen.

When the new Chicago drainage canal
is completed. sas an exchange, it will
take 60,000 cubic feet of water every
minute from Lake Michigan, carrying it
into the Mississippi and sending it into

co instead of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The officers of tho war and navy de
partment have been trying to decide for
some time what effect this diversion will
have upon the level of the lakes. It is a
new problem and they are extremely
cautions about offering figures. The
general opinion seems to be that all of
the lakes will he lowered from six inches
to a foot. This is a matter of interest to
navigators, as a fall of a foot may be
enough to change the whole course of
commerce in some parts of the lake sys
tem. If the canal has the effect antici
pated it will le necessary to spend a
large amount of money deepening chan
nels and preparing all of the shallow
harbors to meet the new conditions.
The worst mine fire in the anthracite
region for some time is now raging in
the Hazelton spoke of the Lehigh Valley
Coal company in Pennsylvania. When
the fire broke out six weeks ago it was at
first thought to bo of little consequence.
The slope was closed soon afterward.
Since then hundreds of thousands of
dollars have leen spent in efforts to
subdue the flames. The prospects of
getting the fire out soon are dubious.
The mine was the most valuable operat
ed by the company, employing 1,100
men. The subterranean openings con
nect tho Hazelton mines with throe
other valuable properties, and the latter
aro also in danger. It is estimated that
before the outbreak itself shall have been
overcome $1,000,000 will have to be
expended.
Captain Jefferson Mears of
the
oyster schooner General Haycock has
been arrested at Baltimore charged with
brutal treatment of Edward Merrill, a
member of his crew. The boy was strip
ped of his clothing when the wind was
blowing a gale and the mercury was
nearly down to zero, his wrists were
crossed and tied firmly together, and he
was thus triced up to the rigging. He
was then severely whipped. When cut
down his thumbs were frozen. The
United States authorities are looking for
the man who assisted the captain in his
brutalities.

The Logan County Pioneer says: The
Presbyterian Missionary society of that
place has arranged to supply garden
seeds to drouth sufferers, those receiving
seeds being requested to make the fol
lowing pledge: "We, the undersigned,
acknowledge the receipt of the garden
seeds set opposite our names. We
promise to sow and carefully cultivate
the same, and relying upon God for his
blessing, we pledge ourselves to give
'one-tenth of the increase unto the Lord,'
for the purchase of lesson helps, cards,
papers, singing books, library and organ,
in the order named." F. H. Palmer will
receive and distribute these seeds here.
George Keepers who has recently re
turned from Oklahoma, was not much
taken with that country. He reports
that the soil rests upon a rock bed which
must be drilled through to find water.
The soil is generally red and the water
which comes from the wells is often red
like the soil. The best paying crop
there is cotton, which averages about
half a bale to the acre. Cotton sells
there for less than three cents a pound.
A half bale weighs 250 pounds. So we
see that tho crop from an acre of cotton
would 6ell for about $7.50. It would
take a farmer a long time to get rich
raising cotton in Oklahoma. If a man
would hire the work done it would cost
more than $7.50 to raise an acre of cot
ton. Corn is not a success there except
on the rich bottom lands. Wheat aver
ages about eight bushels to the acre;
oats do no better. Hay grows about the
6ame ns here. Fruit would do well but
for the never failing hail storms which
play havoc with it nearly every year.
As Mr. Keepers lived dowu there for
nearly a year and run a threshing ma
chine over a large part of the country,
his opinion is not second-hand. People
as a rule who have once lived in Ne
braska never seem to be satisfied to' live
anywhere else, and the fact that so many
are returning even in these hardest ot
all times and during this drouth year is
strong proof that Nebraska under nor
mal conditions is better than any other
country yet discovered. Cedar Rapids

It may be excusable in old men, bowed
with age, but boys and young men who
seem to be seventy in form, and are not
naturally deformed, are not excusable
for sucb a presentation. This is mostly
only a habit. Some of our Columbus

their necks were weak, or as if their
heads were set on the- front of their
chests, the back of their heads being
where their faces ought to be. When
they meet a lady, they throw up their

Your creator never intended that you
should walk with eyes directed continu

your eyebrows as if you were sulking or
guilty of some crime; but straight on
before you.
Have a manly carriage of your person.
If not tall, straighten up and you will
seem taller; and if tall, have pride
enough to bear a straight, commanding
figure. Walk with your legs. Don't
swing your body as if cutting wood
right and left. It is not necessary for
you to go to a cadet school to learn how
to stand and how to walk. Just conquer
your slovenly attitude. Spunk up every
time you notice yourself dropping or
swinging; straighten up, and keep at it
until it will be natural. Your health,
strength, agility and gracefulness of
movement, as well as your commendable
appearance depend upon it. As you
stand you will sit, and as yon sit you
will lie.
Would it not be wise for teachers in

There has been a great deal of foolish
talk in the past about the ability of
American labor to maintain Itself with
out the assistance of a protective tariff,
but the putting into practico of the idea
of these theorists has already demon
strated that there has been no other ba
rier in this country to wages sinking
the same level as those in other lands
except that of a high tariff. There s
nothing more certain than that the
wages of labor of cloakuiakers must sink
to the level of those of Germany if we
permit cloaks manufactured in that
country to enter our markets free of
duty, or at rates too low to stimulate
American competition. Our working

This will be interesting news to the

should the Fitbian bill become a law,
there will be nothing to prevent the con
struction of vessels for the American
navy in any other country. The United
States treasury may bo thus enabled to
save a little money, which it sorely
needs just now, by placing these con
tracts abroad, where labor is so much
cheaper than in the United States. Any
question of protection to American la

common with all onr people, are sorry
that he has left our midst. Wo wish
him and his excellent family health and
prosperity in their western home.
Cadiz (Ohio,) Sentinel.
S. L. Edwards, who lives near the
Whaley farm, lost his stable, horses, etc.,
by a prairie fire. Walter Lawrence who
was in the midst of the flames described
the fire as terrific. He was surrounded
by the flames, run his horse at his high
est speed and barely escaped with his
life, giving the fire a goodly portion of
his back hair and the whole of his
horse's tail. Mr. Lawrence says he saw
an umbrella, or tumble weed carried
2,000 yards, or more than a mile by the
wind, fireing the prairie in a new place.

HEIP SEED TO LOM I
I want to contract with farmers within
hauling distance of Colnmbus to grow
abont a thousand acres of hemp. Will
furnish seed and take pay out of crop
grown. Have two kinds of seed; small
est variety will produce ten to fifteen
buBhelsof seed and 14 to 1 tons Btraw
per acre; other more straw nnd less seed.
Hemp stands drouth better than any
crop except alfalfa. Improves land
almost as much as clover and can be
grown twenty years in succession on
same land. On good land plowed deep
it made fair crop in 18W. For further
information apply at my office at mill
after 2 p. m. M. Jerome.

lenry Wallace Oct of the Homestead.
enry Wallace, whose name is synon
ymous with that of the Iowa Homestead,
of which he has been editor for ten years,
is no longer connected with that paper.
Mr. Wallace has always been a strong
anti-monopolist in fact, the present
Iowa railroad law is largely due to his
efforts in the Homestead. His with
drawal from the Homestead was the
culmination of trouble between him and
the business manager on matters of edi
torial policy, Mr. Wallace wishing the
paper to continue to stand for anti
monopoly principles. Failing in this he
has become editor of Wallace's Farm and
Dairy, a semi-monthly agricultural paper
published at Ames, Iowa, at fifty cents
per year. Mr. Wallace will be glad to
send free sample copies of his new paper
to his old Homestead friends, or any
others, who will drop him a postal card.
We will send Wallace's Farm and Dairy
and the Cohjmbcs Joobxal one year for
81.80, payable in advance.
