Last week 16,058 cattle were received
at South Omaha, an increase of 2,500
over the preceding week, and of 400
over the corresponding week of 1895.
Hog receipts for the week numbered
41,426, as against 21,759 for the preced
ing week, and 43,172 during the same
week last year. The average weight of
the hogs was 290 pounds. Sheep re
ceipts were fair, numbering 6,658, a gain,
of 3,700 over the receipts during the
same week last year.
The Union Pacific railroad has filed
objections with the State Board of Irri

A similar objection was filed not long
since by farmers residing in the vicinity
of Shell creek, and all objectors will be

As many farmers may be thinking of
raising chicory some time as a profitable
field crop, we give the following from the
Fremont Tribune, which contains a fact
not generally known: "The chicory fac
tory is now working up chicory beets
that have been frozen as hard as a bone.
They are more difficult to work than the
unfrozen product, but there is no notice
able difference in the quality of the out
put In this respect the chicory busi
ness has a decided advantage over the
sugar-beet business."
The following paragraph from the
Lincoln Call shows how the educational
folks at the Capitol city enjoy them
selves occasionally: "The High school
astronomy class, chaperoned by Super
intendent Saylor, Principal Stone, L. C
Walker and Judge A. W. Field and wife,
visited the state university last evening
and heard an out-door lecture on the
wonders of the constellations by Prof.
Swezey of the weather department A
very enjoyable and profitable evening
was experienced by all those present''
The Howells Journal says that corn
that was picked and thrown in a pile on
the ground without any cover on, is
liable to be rather wet A fanner told
us one day this week that a pile of corn
he helped shell had ice on it all the way
to the bottom of the heap and in the
center the corn was piled up six feet
high. It all exposed corn is that way
some is liable to spoil unless it is shelled
out If shelled the ice is hard to sepa
rate. The safest way is to put a good
cover over cribs and not pile any on the
ground. r
When one sees the large number of
quail displayed for sale in the .meat
markets and other places in Norfolk, he
cannot help wondering if this useful bird
is to be wiped out and made practically
a thing of the past, like the prairie
chicken, by the market hunters. The
quail is the greatest friend the farmer
has in the whole bird family. Examine
the craw of one and you will always find
it filled with weed seeds, while it is very
rare that you find a kernel of grain in
the contents. The farmer who protects
the quail doss himself a favor.-Norfoik
journal.
Teachers Meetiag.
The county association of teachers
held one of the best meetings in the
history of the association, at Platte Cen
ter last Saturday. About sixty teachers,
besides many visiting citizens, crowded
the large school room to its full capacity.
The program as published in last week's
Journal was carried out with many
i good discussions on several of the papers.
Prof. J. N. Pyle, president of Wayne
college, gave an excellent address on
''Thinkers,'' in the evening. He insisted
that all people should be independent in
thought and action; should thoroughly
study their subject and be original in
ideas. He said the many late inventions
have given people more liberty in this
direction, as in former times great men
were often persecuted for advancing
new ideas.
Resolutions of respect were adopted
and ordered sent to the parents of Miss
Mary Griffen, deceased.
An extra meeting of the association
will be held in Lindsay, January 9th.
The next regular meeting will be held
in Columbus, the first Saturday in Feb
ruary. Teachers from Columbus and vicinity,
who attended the meeting, were: Co.
Supt Rothlightner, City Supt Williams
and Messrs. Weaver, Leavy, Dodds, Ho
gan, Wagner; Misses Dodds, Luth, Wat
kins, Keating, Emma and Sophia Bean,
Scofield. Turner.
We are in receipt of the Thirteenth
annual live stock report of the Union
Stock Yards company of Omaha, for the
year ending Dec 1, 1896, by J. C. Sharp,
secretary. There are a thousand inter
esting facts contained in the little
pamphlet The total receipts for 1896
were: of cattle 570,515; hogs 1,197,638;
sheep 33332; horses and mules 9,653.
Total receipts of stock for thirteen years:
cattle 6,181,529; hogs 14,592,120; sheep
2,006,194; horses and mules 86,211. The
valuation for the year 1896: cattle $18,
826,925; hogs $10,469,342; sheep $916,
663; horses $78,026. Of these latter, car
riage teams are quoted highest, $100 to
$275; draft horses next, $65 to $100; the
general purpose horse, $20 to $60. The
monthly average weight of hogs received
during the year ending Dec. 1, 1896, was
least in March and April, 261 pounds;
greatest in November, 289. All Nebras
kans are proud of the development of its
great stock interests. The fact that
Omaha is in the geographical center of
the world's great corn belt makes it a
great distributing point for feeders and
stock cattle raised on the grazing land of
the great west The present capacity of
the yards is estimated at cattle, 14,000
head; hogs 25,000; sheep 12,000; horses
1,000. Fully eighty acres are now cov
ered with pens, buildings, etc.

Two men were discussing the now
quite common disease, appendicitis, yes
terday, having beard that an operation
had just been performed in this city.
One said that it was a modern fad, while
the other insisted that the use of the
knife in removing the appendix had
saved dozens of lives in Lincoln alone
during the past year. "Formerly," the
man said, "people would get a pain in
the stomach and take medicine for a
stomachache. It would get worse, and
finally there would be a death from colic
or cramps or some stomach disease.
Now the appendix is cut out as neatly
as you please and there is no more
trouble. Five successful operations of
this kind have been performed in the
sanitarium here alone within a month.
That shows how common the disease is
getting to be, or rather how much better
it is understood than it was formerly.
It is absurd to say that it is more com
mon. It has just been found out, that
is all. Deaths from operations, I am
told, rarely occur unless the work is
undertaken too late. Lincoln Journal.
Rev. J. J. Schuler, who preaches at
Rogers, Colfax county, on Sundays,
alternating with his appointment here,
has a wearisome trip of it since the
ohange of the Union Pacific time card.
It necessitates his leaving hereon the
passenger on Friday, staying all night in
Columbus to catch the local passenger
which stops at Rogers. The trip home
is equally tedious. He must take a local
freight east to North Bend on Monday
morning and there wait for a train for
Columbus. After another wait in that
place he can board the freight for home.
Rev. Schuler's patience muBt be like
unto Job's to stand this even once in two
weeks. We'd walk. Bellwood Gazette.
CoL J. B. Meagher went to Lincoln
Wednesday morning last, called thither
by the death on Tuesday of his niece,
Miss Nora McConniff, daughter of the
late John McConniff. She was sick but
a few days. The Lincoln Journal says:
"She was attacked with a pain on Thurs
day and the case was diagnosed as appen
dicitis. Treatment was given for that
trouble, but she grew worse. The use of
the knife was postponed until Sunday,
and then it was found that the operation
came too late. The sac had broken, and
death was caused by urameic poisoning.
Miss McConniff was seventeen years of
age. She was a bright and interesting
girl and had a wide circle of friends.'

Remarkable storm on the 24th, 25th

with the wind from south ending in the
evening of the 25th with thunder, very
vivid lightning and copious fall of rain,
wind veering to the north and a rapid
fall in temperature; as a consequence
the trees were coated with an inch of ice
and as a necessary result many of them
are almost hopelessly destroyed, but con
trary to expectation fruit seems to have
passed through the ordeal almost with
out damage, though the subsequent zero
weather prevents the removal of the
coating of ice without doing greater
damage than by waiting for a let-up in
the weather.

Comfort to California.
Every Thursday afternoon, a tourist
sleeping car for Salt Lake City, San
Francisco and Los Angeles leaves Omaha
and Lincoln via the Burlington Route.
It is carpeted; upholstered in rattan;
has spring seats and backs and is pro
vided with curtains, bedding, towels,
soap, etc. An experienced excursion
conductor and a uniformed Pullman
porter accompany it through to the
Pacific Coast
While neither as expensively finished
nor as fine to look at as a palace sleeper,
it is just as good to ride in. Second
class tickets are honored and the price
of a berth, wide enough and big enough
for two, is only $5.

Beacon Light: At Long Fine, this
state, the populists and free silver forces
combined and elected Miss Mae David
son as county attorney. She is the first
woman in this state to be elected to that
office but we will wager that she will
perform the duties of that office in such
a manner as will be a credit to the
county ss well as to herself.
Norfolk Journal: Although very little
is being said in regard to the chicory in
dustry, the farmers around Norfolk who
have tried raising a crop of that article
this year have found it a profitable one.
The Journal does not know how much of
a market there is for chicory, but it is
certain that there is room for a number
of factories in Nebraska and that every
one of them will be a good thing for the
communities in which they are located.
Schuyler Herald: There were five
cases of diphtheria reported at Clarkson,
this county last Friday and most of
them will doubtless prove fatal. Clark
son and people living near that town
have been afflicted with this dread dis
ease for several years and of late have
taken every precaution to prevent the
spreading of the dispose, but to no avail.
Parents have lost their entire families
with this disease and several grown peo
ple have likewise lost tbeir'lives.
Cedar Rapids Outlook: In the thun
der storm last Wednesday afternoon
about five o'clock, the main part of N. W.
Goodrich's residence was struck by light
ning near the chimney, making a hole
about three feet wide in the roof, and
tearing out two rafters from the ceiling;
the current then proceeding out at the
side of the house. Mrs. Goodrich, at the
time of the event, was sitting in the
house and Mr. Goodrich was out in the
yard, but fortunately neither were hurt.
Albion News: P. A. Barrows returned
to St Edward from Columbus on Friday
last where he was called to be present
when a surgical operation was performed
last .Wednesday morning upon Mrs. Bar
rows, by Dr. Gear of that place, assisted
by Drs. Martyn and Evans, at St. Mary's
hospital. He reports that she is getting
along as well as could be expected, and
under the most excellent care given by
the Sisters of St Mary's will doubtless
be able to return home in about four
weeks.
Newman Grove Advertiser: Swan
Peterson and family are indeed having a
hard time of it Swan has been sick for
several weeks and his wife has also been
confined to the bed a greater portion of
the time for the past month. Yesterday
P. J. Johnson took up a collection
amounting to something over $16 for
them, for which they are very thankful
....Last Saturday fire destroyed the
barn, some hay and grain and a few im
plements belonging to M. J. Rank, who
lives a few miles northeast of town. It
was a very heavy loss for him.
Fremont Tribune: Dr. Goodmanson,
a Pender tooth carpenter, has just been
arrested charged with murder in the
first degree. After his wife died under
suspicious circumstances her body was
exhumed and the stomach assayed liberal
traces of strychnine. Her brother, from
Illinois, immediately came to Pender and
had Goodmanson arrested. Goodmanson
had not been long married. Ho was
engaged to another at the time, but as
the dead woman he did marry had
$12,000 in her own right it is thought
that was an inducement for him.
Albion Argus: Last Tuesday morning
the Elkhorn passenger struck the fore
man of a gang of men who were repair
ing a bridge this side of Bradish. Ow
ing to the slippery condition of the ties
the man was unable to get off of the
bridge and when the engine struck him
he slid up on the pilot, and other than
making a slight scalp wound on the side
of his head he was uninjured. He was
carried to the end of the bridge and
rolled off to one side and it is the great
est wonder he was not ground to pieces
under the wheels. The train was
stopped and the injured man taken to
Newman Grove where he was placed
under the care of a physician.

It requires no twisting of figures to
demonstrate that Nebraska is second to
no state in the union as a corn growing
state. What is particularly favorable to
her future as a grower of this great sta
ple is the fact of the diversification of her
soils for the production of all field crops
including grains, grasses, clovers, roots,
etc. In the years to come when we have
learned more of the lessons on intensive
cnltivation of our farms the live stock
industry as part and parcel of our fann
ing interests will have taken a mighty
stride. Live stock farming and grain
farming go hand in hand, and happy is
thnt land that being adapted to both
these ends finds itself also excellently
adapted to tha culture of grass, root and
fodder crops. This continual rotation of
crops, together with the fact of their be
ing fed out on the farms where produced,
tends to the formation of a reciprocity of
conditions that bodes an everlasting good
for the country where snch a thing can
be actually put into practice. The fact
that Nebraska's well cultivated fields
have this year produced from fifty to
eighty bushels per acre would signify but
littlo if there were not present in our
environment the element that will lead
to a perpetuity of this condition. This
element is ever present if we but wisely
use it. Nebraska Farmer.
