A Gorgeous I'resent Seat to ibt Ean fteror of China. One of the most wonderful time keepers known to the horologist was nadc in London about 100 years ago nnd-scnt by the president of the East India company as a gift to the em peror of China. The case was made in the form of chariot, in which was seated the figure of a woman. This figure was of pure irory and gold, and sat with her right hand resting upon a tiuy clock fastened to the side of the vehicle. A part of the wheels which kept track of the flight 'of time were hidden in the body of a tiny bird, which had seemingly just alighted upon the lady's finger. Above was a canopy so 'arranged as to conceal a silver bell, fitted, with a miniature hammer of the same metal, and,'' although it appeared to have no connectton with the clock, regularly struck the hours, and could be made to repeat by touch ' ing a diamond button on the lady's bodice. In the chariot at the ivory lady's f-et there was a golden figure of a dog, and above and in front were two birds, apparently flying before the chariot. This beautiful ornament was made almost entirely of gold, and was elaborately decorated with pre cious stones. . COil ..t-.a .OiUBlbnf. Columbus.

Kails Feaslaa Rosily Stress 1c Death. Kirke La Shelle told a story in Washington a few days ago which pleased Henry Clay Barnabee so much that he proposes to tell it as his very own. It is a story illustrative of the undying master passion of tho actor. An actor who plays juvenile roles met a leading man on Broadway. The leading man was dressed in deep black. There was a wide band of crape on his hat, and he had dis carded, the patent leather shoes an actor loves for shoes with a subdued polish that spoke of grief. "What is the matter?" asked tho juvenile. My father is dead," answered tho leading man in a heartbroken voice. The juvenile expressed his sym pathy. "When did he die?" ho asked. 'Last week. We buried him to day a nice funeral," answered tho heartbroken voice. "Large attendance?" asked tho juvenile. A smile of enthusiastic delight flashed over tha mourner's face. "Large attendance!" he cried. "My boy, wo turned them away." The Century is about to print a new short serial story by Mary Hart well Catherwood, ''The Days of Jeanne d'Arc," the result of a very careful study of the history of the maiden warrior of France, and of a pilgrimage of the places she made famous. The story has been in the hands of the editors of The Century for some time, but its publication was delayed on account of the recent appearance of Mark Twain's novel on the same sub ject in Harpers Magazine. Mrs. Catherwood is said to treat Joan of Arc in a fresh way and the story is thought to be her very best work. A Tdastaehe Over Korea Foot I.onj. The pcoplo of Bellington W.

The Doetrlae af Preteetlaa AtUcfcea He Asserts that CeraparaUwaly Few iAborlaa; Mea Favor It Trasta aad Coaahtoatioaa Severely CriUeteeet. Nebraska's Fealer Seaater. Washington dispatch: Senator Allen, populist, of Nebraska, made a long speech in the senate on the unconsti tutionality of tariff taxes beyond those requisite for revenue. Although it was the first tariff speech the senate has heard this session, it did not at tract marked -attention. Mr. Allen criticised the trusts and combinations, which, he declared, reaped the main advantage of tariff taxes. The sena tor's remarks were in the nature of a legal argument .showing the constitu tional limitation of the taxing power of congress. In the course of his speech he said: "We have a right- to consider the character and occupation of the men making the claim for protective legis lation. They are not the laborers themselves those whom it is said pro tection is to benefit but they are the manufacturers, the bankers, the attor neys and lobbyists, who appeal to us in the name of the wage-earner. There are very few of the laborers and producers .who believe that the wages arc raised substantially by a high tariff, ard still fewer who desire that such a tariff shall be levied on the articles of necessary consumption of Iti per cent of the people for their special benefit. It is true there arc occasionally a few wage earners, ignorant of the princi ples underlying this, who, in conse quence of being rcpeatedby told so, believe prosperity is dependent in .some measure on a protective tariff, and athey lire induced by the crafty and greedy for whom they labor to im portune congress to protect the partic ular branches of industry in which they arc engaged, ltut these men are few indeed, and they are almost al ways incited to sucli appeals by those for whom they labor and in the inter est of those who reap in their name the lienelit of the high protective leg islation."' In conclusion, the senator said: "I place myself on the solid, impregnable ground that under our constitution congress docs not possess power to tax the people to enhance the private for tunes of the few and that the full measure of the taxing power is reached when a tariff for revenue, with inci dental 'protection, is imposed. Any other construction would lead to con fiscation and incidentially to enforced repudiation, the two worst conceivable forms of anarchy and disorder in a civilized state: and such a deduction, when carrie'd to its legitimate length, would lead to the subversion of all order, and the rights of pernons and property. We cannot serve the people and the money power at the same time. Their interests are deadly antagonistic. What is for the com mon welfare is against the trusts and oools." House Roll Jfo. 207. Tlii- measure has passed both houses and gone to the governor for his con sideration and signature. It is as follows: 1. It shall fc unlawful and a .mis demeanor for any corporation organ ized under the laws of Nebraska, or any corporation organized under the laws of any other state, or under the laws of the United States, or under the laws of any other territory or nation and doing business in the state of Ne braska, to give or contribute money, property, transportation, help or as sistance in any manner or form to an3 political party or to anj candidate for any civil office, or to any political or ganization or committee or to any indi vidual to be used or expended for political purposes. -'. Any corporation violating any of the provisions of this act shall forfeit and pay a fine of SI, 000 for the first offense. All fines recovered under any of the provisions of this act shall, when collected, be .paid into the proper treasury of the county for the use of the school fund: and the corporate autnorities of anr county within whose territorial jurisdiction sucli uae was- recovered and collected shall pay to the complaining witness in such pros ecution, out of the general fund of such county an amount equal to one fourth, of the fine actually collected, upon the proper application of the party entitled to the same, in the miinner usual for the presentation of claims against counties. X Upon conviction of a second or subsequent offense the offending cor poration shall forfeit and pay a fine of S2.0C0. and the court may decree that the charter of said corporation shall be cancelled and set aside, or if chartered in any other state or any territory, or under the laws of the United States or of any other nation, and doing busi ness in this state, it shall pay a like fine for such offense and forfeit its right to do business in this state, and it is hereby made the duty of the at torney general to proceed against the same.

The Trans-Mississippi exposition coirmittee held a meeting last week an' decided on Arbor day, April "22? as the proper day on which to announce to the world that the great exposition is at last a certainty. It was decided to invite Hon. W.'.l. ltryan, Governor Silas A. Holcomb.. Ifou. J. Sterling Morton, the state officers, the members of the state legislature and other prominent men and speakers and officials from this and other states. Exercises of the day will be a grand civic and military parade in the city, and speaking, music and other fes tivities at the exposition grounds. Senator Allen has reported favor ably his bill for the relief of Isaac Marsh of Wellfleet. Neb. Marsh made a timber culture entry in' the North Tlatte district March 4. 1891. one day after the repeal of the timber law, with the full knowledge and consent of the agent there. His entry was cancelled by the secretary of the interior, and Senator Allen's bill seeks to allow the entry to stand. Harvey, the 10-year-old son of G. B. Burdick of Broken Bow. was kicked by a horse while leading it ont to water and died from the effects of the wound. Death Was Da ta Neglect. The coroner and jury have 'completed their labors in the asylum investiga tion at Beatrice. The main fact de veloped was that the lack of harmony existing at the institution bodes no good for its future wellfarc The tes timony given by each of the asylum attachees. with the exception of the superintendent and Mrs. Armstrong, strongly showed the feeling which ex ists. The verdict of the jury is to the effect that the boy, Earl Kitchen, came to his death by burns sustained while temporarily in charge of another inmate. DIVIDING NEBRASKA. aa GraasM'a But far Tare JaK elal Districts. Washington special: A bill has beet introduced in the house by Judge Greene to divide the state of Nebraska, into two judicial districts, to be known as the eastern and west. This differs from the bill introduced by Judge Strode in the last congress and reintroduced in the present house, pro viding for a division into northern and southern districts. Judge Strode's bill looks to the division of the state, giv ing each judicial district three con gressional districts, the Second. Third and Sixth to be the northern "district, and the First, Third, and Fifth to com prise the southern, with terms of court to be held in cities as now prescribed by law. While Judge Greene's bill seeks to establish courts in Hastings, Kearney and Chadron, his division of the proposed districts being drawn in practically a straight line between Nuckolls and Thayer on the south to between Knox and Cedar on the north. Nothing can be done with cither one of these bills in the house at this ses sion of congress on account of the lack of organization of committees, there being no judiciary committeeto con sider and report upon the bills. Judge Strode's bill, which has been for some time before the attention of the bar of Nebraska, has received a large endorse ment there of the legal fraternity, which will be used by Judge Strode In urging the bill 'for passage. Caltiratloa of Sagar Beets. The proposition of Mr. Emery and the promoters of the beet sugar factory to the people of Iowa is as follows: The undersigned agrees to cultivate acres of beets for the beet sugr plant to be erected at JJes Moines, Iowa, to be cultivated as the company shall direct. That is, 1 agree to plant the ground to sugar beet seed to be furnished by the company and to use not less than twelve pounds of seed to the acre, to be planted in rows eight een inches apart, and the. beets to be thinned to six to eight inches between the beets. The company agrees to pay SI a ton delivered on the cars at the factory in Dcs Moines: That the freight on beets shall not exceed 25 cents for twenty-five miles, .i() cents for fifty miles and 75 cents up to any point within the state for the rear 18'.7. . oignctt .... ....... P. O. Address. If a stand is had eighteen inches be tween the rows and s'x to eight inches between the beets, 35.000 plants will stand on an acre, and one-pound beets will thus produce seventeen and one half tons to the acre, the only limit being that the company will refuse all beets weighing over two pounds trimmed, because if planted as directed the beets will not grow to exceed one and one-half pounds each, so that an acre will produce at .least one car load of beets of twenty or twenty-five tons, worth $80 to $100at the factory. Sign your name and postoffice and send same to John S. Emery, Des Moines, as soon as possible. When the company is organized a contract will be mailed you to sign, with full instructions on how to pre- Eare ground and raise beets. Nothing, owever, will be done until contracts arc signed. Respectfully submitted, .loiix S. Emkuv. Tare Food BilL The pure food bill, senate file No. 26 , by Murphy of Gage, has passed the upper house. This bill provides that no person shall, within this state, man ufacture for .sale, offer for sale, or sell any article of food which is adulter ated. The term food, as used in the bill includes all articles used for food or drink by man, whether simple, mixed or compound. It shall not ap ply, however, to mixtures or -compounds recognized as ordinary articles of food, if the same be distinctly labelled as mixtures or compounds and are not injurious to health. Any per son interested is empow'ered to secure a sample of - any article for analysis whenever he shall tender the value of the same. The fine for violation shall not exceed 8100 nor less than 515, or imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding thirty days or both, and -any person convicted shall also pay all nec essary costs and expenses incurred in inspecting and analyzing such adulter ated article. Nebraska Laati Case Decision. Washington dispatch: In the land contest of John D. Carter against Ar thur M. Davidson, from the McCook district. Nebraska. Secretary Bliss modified the land commissioners de cision and referred it to the board of equitable adjudication for settlement. Davis failed to make final proof on his timber culture application' and Carter made a homestead entry for the land. Davidson contested the latter entry and proved that he had acted in ac cordance with the law except as to the final proof. The secretary decided that the entries of both entrymen would be best determined by the board and ordered the case before it. The case of U. C. VanCleve. a letter carrier of Lincoln, against whom charges were filed in the postofiice de partment, has been referred to a post ofiice inspector for inspection and report. The Blanket Ballot System. At this writing the above measure is being considered in the house. The bill provides for a blanket ballot and for party emblems to "be used on bal lots for the greater case of voters to whom the present system is somewhat unintelligible. Each party is given a column on tne nanot, ana wnencver a candidate is endorsed by more than one party his name appears in the list ot eacn party ny wnoin nc is en dorsed.

Indications are, 'how ever, thaf some fields will yield good results. Nearly a.-f of the sheep which have been feeding near Shelton this winter, have now been shipped ont and it is gratifying to know that the feeders have realized a handsome profit. ,The number of sheep fed during the season has been but a little short of 100,000 head, and as the lowest estimate places the net profit at 81 per head the total profit to the feeders will amount to about 8100,000, or more. Shelton has has been for several years, with pos sibly two exceptions, the largest sheep feeding point in the United States, as it offers better advantages in the way of location and the quality, quantity and usual cheapness of feed. Word reached here- today, hays a Pawnee City dispatch, of the drowning cV an entire family of children two miles across the state line in Kansas, The particulars are as follows: On Sunday- morning Mrs. John McGraw, with her five children, started for the St. Ilridget church. Coming to Pole creek, and not being aware of the swollen condition of the stream, she drove into it. The wagon was over turned and all thrown into the water. Mrs. McGraw succeeded in saving her self, but the children, ranging in age from 2 to 14 years, were lost. The mother is entirely overcome by the lot of her family. TREE PLANTING DAY.

Arbor Day Fraetaasattoa. Governor Holcomb has issued the annual Arbor day proclamation: Conforming to the wise custom, hav ing its inception in Nebraska and now grown national in its character, and to the end that the attention of the people of our beautiful state may be called to the advantages to be gained by a proper observance of the day, I hereby proclaim and designate Thursday, April S3, 1897, as Arbor day. I earnestly request all our citizens to fully comply with the spirit of the law in making this a public holiday, and especially do I commend to the public schools the propriety of an observance of the day by suitable exercises and practical lessons in tree planting, in order that there may be inculcated in the minds of the children of the state a high appreciation olthe pleasures, en joyment and utility to the present and future generations, of tree planting and timber preservation. On this day let us not forget that "Who sows a teld. or trains a flower, Or plants a tree is more than all. For be who blesses most Is blest: And God and man shall own his worth, 'Vho toils to leave as his bequest, A n added beauty to tho earth." Jn testimony whereof, I have here unto subscribed my name and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Nebraska. Done at Lincoln, the capital of the state, this 39th day of March, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, eight hundred and ninety.-seven, of the state the thirty-first, and of the independ ence of the United States, the one hundreth and twentv-first. Silas A. Holcomb. ' By the governor: W. F. Porter, Secretary of State. Nebraskaas at Washiaejtoa. Washington dispatches: Nebraska's four members new to congressional life broke themselves in quite early. JudgeGrecne on Monday night made his maiden bow to "5lr. speaker." The new members have been the most faithful in point of presenting them selves to be talked at. while the older1 hands have, taken advantage of the occupation of the floor by the tariff bill to catch up with accumulated cor respondence and to dispel congested business in the various departments. At some of the night sessions a quarter of the house only were in attendance. The size of the audience during the daily session depended largely upon the knowledge of who would occupy the floor. In the tariff discussion Judge Greene of Nebraska showed, his ability to give, and take blows with equal justice:' His speech was replete with biblical quotations, speaking of Cleveland "as one who saith of his brother, thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." Judge Greene was a minister at one time in his career, and early learned to use the bible and its apt quotations to make stronger his natural flow of oratory and his knowledge of the good book was greatly appreciated by his brethren on the democratic side of the house. Judge Greene acted with considerable force and contributed a great deal of entertainment to the tariff sideshow. Senator Thurston today introduced a party of Ncbraskans to the president, the president having intimated to the junior senator from Nebraska that he would be pleased to receive sojourning residents of the Antclops state today. In the party were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph XV. Breckenridge, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Carroll of Omaha; Mr. and Mrs. Michael ot Grand Island; Mrs. Bryant. cx-Con-grcssman aud Mrs. W. El Andrews of Hastings: Mr. Adolph Merer, Mr. Henry T. Oxnard, president of the beet sugar interests of Nebraska. Everyone seems to be getting in a kick at civil service reform as it was extended and amplified by President Cleveland. It lias recently been much discussed. Senator A lien made an ex tremely lively speech in support of his resolution respecting removals in South Omaha, and read some correspondence from Dr. XV. S. White, formerly with the bureau of animal industry at South Omaha, which throws a strong light upon the subject that White was re moved only because of "inefficiency."' There has been an exodus of Ne braskans during the past week to the everlasting delight of Senator Thurs ton. Strode and Mercer, but while the personal importuning has somewhat let up. the mails of all three of these gentlemen continue to show little di minution and there arc just as many people in -Nebraska anxious for office now as there was upon the election of Mr. McKinley. Taxlat Telephone Income. The senate bill to tux incomes of telephones is as follows: The legisla ture shall provide such revenue as shall le needful by levying a tax by valuation, so that every person and corporation shall pay a tax in propor tion to his. her or its property and franchises, the value to be ascertained in such manner as the legislature shall direct and it shall have power to tax peddlers, auctioneers, brokers, hawk ers, commission merchants, showmen, jugglers, inn keepers, liquor dealers, toll bridges, ferries, insurance, tele graph and express interests or busi ness, venders of patents in such manner as it shall direct by general law, uniform as to the class upon which it operates."' 1'isof.

Beatrice dispatch: Death has re lieved the -sufferings of David Jones, the Wealthy bachelor who was so ter-. ribly burned and bruised by masked' men about a week ago. The robbers entered his home and demanded that he reveal to'them the hiding place of his money. Upon being' refused they burned and bruised his body in a hor rible manner, with the above result. lie had at the time these people broke into his house, something over S3.t00 hid away in the basement. ThuT secret was revealed just before death." ' It was his refusal . to give this up that cost him his life. A Whack at Corporations. The legislature on thc-2?tli took an other whack at corporations. The senate changed about and decided to tax express companies'! per cent on gross earnings, Instead of 3 per cent on net earnings as previously agreed upon.
