Ik a libel enit against the Lincoln Journal for an alleged libel contained in a four-line item in that paper, a Mrs. Moss sues the proprietors for $25,000. Mrs. Tebrill, aged 70, and her nephew, Edward Mason, aged 50, were burned to death near Pern Monday night of last week by the upsetting of a lamp. Edison's discovery of how to get the iron ont of the rocks around Menlo Park, which promises large results in the way-of reviving the iron industry in the eastern states. The process rests on two things, the reduction of the rock to powder; the gathering of the iron particles by magnets. When completed, the sale of the Un ion Pacific Railroad will have paid back to the government principal and inter est at (5 per cent. This "investment" was made about thirty years ago, and how many investments of that length of time could have panned out better? When the national advantages resulting from the construction of this road are considered, the investment on the part of the United States would not have been a bad one if no part of the princi pal or interest had been repaid. It is probablo, however, that the democratic waiters will continue to talk of tho "steal" that has leen perpetrated. Seward Keporler. NORTHWEST NEBRASKA PROS PEROUS. The following special to the Lincoln Journal from Gordon is self-explanatory: The demand for cattle and sheep does not abate. One bank here paid out $101,913 on the checks of purchasers of cattle and sheep alone in the month just closed, paying ont over 12,000 in a single day, ami cashing a nntnber of checks reaching into the thousands. An occa sional "calamity howler" still talks of hard times, yet in this section, that is popularly supposed to produce nothing bnt cattle, cow boys and Russian this tles, the farmers have received an aggre gate of not less than $18,000 for their 1HH7 wheat crop. A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY. Mrs. Ellen A. Richardson of Boston, chief organizer of the movement, writ ing to George II. Harries of Washington, of the planB thus far formed, says: "The patriotic women of America are to build the administration building, and they propose to make tho 22d of February, 1898, tho nation's first offer ing day. For this purpose they are asking no large contributions, begging nothing. America's 70,000,000 people must build this great monument. If the 13,000,000 children in the public schools in America would give an offer ing of a penny each on Washington's birthday they would raise a sum suffi cient to erect the building and endow it. Let us, then, join hands and have an American university, American sciences and American ideas for American citi zens." Mrs. Richardson further stated that bhe has arranged with the proper au thorities that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing shall produce certificates which will be given to those who con tribute to the movement. OPENED THE RETURNS. Republicans Claim Secretary Porter Violated the Law. B0AM) OVERBTJLED TH PB0TEST. Caavatsers Wilt Set an Early Date to Tab late the Vote Secretary Sizer, of Re publican Stata Committee, Has Not De cided Whether Ha Will Esjola Canvass lac Board. Lincoln, Nov. 2X When the state canvassing board met yesterday it was served with a protest signed by E. R. Sizer, secretary of the Republican state central committee, and other citizens against a canvass of the state on the ground that the law had been violated by Secretary of State Porter, who is charged with opening and tampering with county returns. The allegation was made a week ago that the secretary had broken the seal of the ballots from a number of coun ties, and this was admitted today by the board, bnt the charge of tampering with or changing the vote was denied. Attorney General Smyth, acting for the board, insisted that the simple bulk ing of the seal, while contrary to the letter of the law, did not constitute au offense and demanded that the protest ors show proof of tamperiug. Secretary Porter and his two deputies were sworn and testified to having opened the returns and sending some back for correction, but entered a gen eral denial of any change in figures. At the suggestion of Governor Holcomb the protest was overruled, and the board will at an early date tabulate the vote. E. R. Sizer, whose name heads the protest, was asked if he would en join the board. He said he had not fully decided, but would follow up the matter and act as circumstances seemed to warrant. It is claimed that if an injunction were issued and sustained the throwing ont of votes opened by Secretary Porter would change the result of the election. Held Up by Female Road Areata. Hay Springs, Neb., Nov. 28. A bold koldap occurred about five miles south west of here. The bandits were two wom en and one man. The victim was Mr. KUnglesmidt, a farmer from Wyom ing. He had sold ont recently and by wagon was on his way overland to St. Joseph, Mo., with some $800 on his per son. He first encountered two women riding horseback. Both had veils over their faces. To his surprise, an order was given of hands up with four re volvers pointed at him. He obeyed and was then beaten into insensibility by a uh who was in hiding close by. When Mr.Klinglesmidt regained his censes the sooney was missing, and h saw the robbers riding ac great speed in a west erly direction. Sfcretary Wilson's estimate ot 4UU,uuu,uuu seiii out oi the United States annually for farm products that could be grown on American farms may seem at first sight to be overdrawn, but the secretary has been making a special study of the subject since he went to Washington and he has the official figures to ....,. innL- lin lll-i SIiniirP---IMM ABOUT READY FOB JURY Attorneys Making; Closing Ar-' guments In Novak Case. WOOD'S ST0BT HAS LITTLS EFFECT Milwaukee Railway Company's Areata Successfully Treating and Curiae Hog Cholera Along-It Lines In Iowa Des Moines Policeman Kills a Burglar, awkeye Happenlugs. Cedar Rapids, la., Nov. -'3. Another day will see the Novak murder trial at Vinton brought to a close with the ex ception of a verdict of the jury. Mr. Boies will conclude the last argument to the jury today and before night the court will have instructed the jury and sent them ont to deliberate upon a ver dict. The story that caruo from Seattle, Wash., that Edward Murray had been seen there alive had but little effect on the trial and beyond causing a delay of 80 minutes it was passed over and for gotten. Charles Wood, the man who claims to have seen Murray alive in Seattle the last week, is a man about 50 years old, who has lived in Vinton for a number of years and who has a fam ily living there at the present time. He left Vinton about three weeks ago, stating that he was goiug to the Klon dike. He had with him about 300 be sides transportation to Seattle. It is generally believed at Vinton that Wood became stranded at Seattle and came to the conclusion that the best way to get back to Vinton was to circulate this story and that he would be brought back as a witness for the defence without expense to himself. Some, however.think he was sent there for the express purpose of doing exactly what he did do and that it was a clever ruse on the part of tho defendant's friends to get a delay and perhaps to secure a dismissal on the charge of murder. Mr. Miner, chief counsel for the de fence, in his argument to the jury, re ferred to the fact that everything went to show that the defendant loved his family and in securing the insurance policies had only sought to protect them against suffering and want in case of his falling off. He declared that no motive had been shown for the crime and that the only incriminating eyldeuce developed was the fact that Novak changed his name at Omaha to Frank Alfred and he contended at that time that he was still suffering from the effects of breathiug monoxide gas in his burning building. SURE CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA. Milwaukee Company's Agents Successfully Treating Diseased Swine. Dubuque, la., Nov. 23. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway com pany's agents have just completed a series of demonstrations in the cure of hog cholera aloug the line of that road, the resultB of which are in direct con flict with statements of government ex perts. They liave successfully treated and saved 850 hogs owned by the Amana society at Amana, la., a town on the Kansas City division of the road. A large herd owned by Georgo W. Ellis, a stock raiser at Arthur, la., was also cured of the alleged cholera. F. J. Clemens, division freight and pas senger agent of the Milwaukee com pany here, still contends that the dis ease so commonly called hog cholera is nothing but typhoid pneumonia and much of the sickuess is caused by im proper feeding. He has scores of letters from stock raisers proving conclusively that the company's agents are curing and preventing the spread of the dis ease. Snoots a Burglar Dead. Des Modtes,Nov. 29. Charles Lucas, aged 20, was shot and killed early yes terday morulas; by Policeman Donahue while burglarizing a saloon.

CRITTENDEN TO ACCOMPANY BRYAN Will Make a Four Weeks Tour of Mexico to Study Financial System. Kansas City, Nov. 23. Ex-Governor Crittenden of Missouri, who was consul general to Mexico under the last Cleve land administration, announces that he will leave this city next week for San Antonio, Tex., where he will be joined Ly Hon. William J. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan and that the three will depart from San Antonio on a four weeks tour of Mexico. Aided by the ex-consul's knowledge of the people and the coun try, Mr. Bryan will make a careful study of Mexico's financial system. Mr. Crittcuden states that for some time Mr. Bryan has been anxious to make the trip accompanied by some one fully posted as to the public affairs of Mexico. They expect to spend the greater part of the time in the City of Mexico, where Mr. Bryan will be pre sented to the heads of the various de partments of the government by Mr. Crittenden, so that he will have an ex crfh'at chance to study the financial i-yti-m of the country -and the result of PREDICTS A LENQTHY SE8SION. Saaater Burrows Thiaks Congress Will Jfet Adjourn Until August. Washtnoton, Nov. 23. Senator Bur rows of Michigan expresses the opinion that there will be a protracted discus ckn of the currency question in the ap proaching session of congress and that in all probability congress will be in session until August. In addition to the routine business ef congress, appropriations, etc," h said, "the Hawaiian question will be disposed of and consideration will be given to the enrrency question, immi gration and a few other things. As to 1 the Cuban qaestjgg, the situation, is r.sffC 1 w very peculiar. There appears to be a great deal of confusion with relation to the adoption of a new policy by Spain, and I do not think congress ought to act until an opportunity has been given to determine what will result from Blanco's undertaking. "I think," he added, "that the most perplexing thing that confronts us now is how to handle the currency question. It is obvious that this question is going to come up for discussion, and it is equally obvious that it will lead to a protracted debate. I am very uncertain what it will result in." GARY'S POSTAL SAVINGS PLAN. Proposition Gaining Friends Throughout tba Country. Washington, Nov. '43. Postmaster General Gary is receiving many letters regarding the postal savings bank prop osition strongly urged by him in his an nual report. Many people throughout the country have written him comment ing on this projected radical extension of the postal service, and have sub mitted some suggestions calculated, in their opinion, to make the scheme more feasible. Asa whole the correspond ence indicates a rather general com mendation, and some well known econ omists and financiers numbered among the postmaster general's friends, and who have heretofore opposed measures of this character, have, in letters just received, given a qualified indorsement. Postmaster General Gary expects some legislation by congress on this subject, possibly at the next session, and be lieves that the extended discussion which has been given it throughout the country will render material assistance to this end. Data Concerning Kansas PaclBo. Washinoton, Nov. 28. Mr. E. El lory Anderson of New York and Mr. Oliver Mink of Boston, receivers of the Union Pacific railway,had a two hours' consultation with Attorney General McKenna today. They came at the in vitation of the attorney general to give him such information as they possessed bearing on the valuation of the Kansas Pacific road, which is to be sold Dec. 15. He questioned them at length on the value and equipment of the road, its earnings and income, aud they gave him all the data they had. This infor mation will be used by the attorney general in arriving at a definite conclu sion as to the value of the property, with a view to the protection of the government's interests.

CATTLE CREMATED IN A CAR. SIzteea Head Slowly Roasted to Death at a Kansas Station. Topkka, Nov. 23. Sixteen head of cattle were roasted alive in a Santa Fe cattle car at Wakarusa station about 10 o'clock last night. The bellowing of the tortured beasts could be heard for miles, and had the effect of attracting the entire inhabitants of the surround ing country to the sccue. The cattle had been loaded at Reading station for Chicago, and were in the middle of stock express No. 30, due here at 1 1 p. m. As the train neared Wakarusa the bedding of the car was discovered to be on fire. All possible speed was made to reach the water tank at Wakarusa, but by the time the train stopped at the tank the flames were beyond control in one car, while the fire had spread to the stock cars on either side. The burning car was uncoupled from the rest of the train and the efforts of the trainmen di rected to saving the other two cars and their animal contents. The caw were broken open and the cattle allowed to escape, while the fire in these two cars was extinguished. For almost an hour scores of spectators watched the 16 head of cattle in the isolated car slowly roasted to death. The entire wood work of the car was wholly consumed, and every one of the 16 steers was burned to a blackened mass. The incident caused the greatest excitement at Wakarusa station, since the Santa Fe wreck at that point several years ago. Bank Embezzlers Sentenced. Philadelphia, Nov. 23.

The Topeka police have arrested the Rev. A. E. Morrison, Methodist, of Panhandle, Tex., and are holding him on suspicion of murder until the sheriff can arrive fiom Panhandle and take him home for trial. For several months Morrison has been engaged to Miss Whittlesey of Topeka, whose family is prominent here, and they were to be married dur ing the holidays. From the information the police have received it is supposed that Morrison is the same person as a minister of the same name whose wife died suddenly at Panhandle, Tex., Oct. 8, under cir cumstances which pointed to poison. Morrison admitted to Chief Steele that he was from Panhandle, bnt said he did not know how a charge of murder could be made against him unless it was the outgrowth of criticism that was heaped upon him on account of his wife's death. At the Whittlesey home the family objeoted to allowing reporters see Miss Whittlesey. One of the brothers ex plained that Morrison was their scboob mate in Illinois 20 years ago. RAILWAY MEN AS POLITICIANS. Form a Political League to Secare Recog nition and Influence Ieftslatla. Chicago, Nov. 23. By changing its name and declaring new principles, the American Railway league has become a full fledged political organization. Hereafter it will be known ns the Rail way Employes and Telegraphers Polit ical League of America. Its proclaimed object is to deal entirely in state and national politics, chiefly ou legislative line. Behind this, however, is the de sire and the determination to seours recognition, elective and appointive, fer railroadmen. This is shown im the fact that a movement is on foot to se cure the appointment by President Mc Kinley of a railroad man on the inter' state commerce commission as successor to Colonel William R. Morrison. Two hundred delegates were present from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The reason given for taking a new name was to divest the organization oi every similarity to the defunct Ameri can Railway union. Members com plained that they were constantly ham pered in their work by meeting people who confounded the two organizations. It is proposed to work for the election of railway men to the legislatures of the several states, where they can se cure the passage of laws that will be beneficial both to the employes and the railroads. Euiplovos Ask Representation. St. Paul, Nov. 23. Judge Sanborn heard the petition of the employes of the receivers of the Union Pacific rail way company in the Ames case for au order of the court permitting thesa to have representation and to share in the administration of the hospital fund, which was formerly held and admin istered by the company. The matter in chancery had remonstrated against the prayer of the petitioners and excep tions had been filed to the report. Be cause the administration of the f and is about to cease and because the ques tions presented on the report are mooted questions since the roads of the Union Pacific have been sold and the receiv ers are not much longer to administer them the report was confirmed without considering the merits. Form a Combination. Williamsport, Pa., Nov. 23. The American Woodworking Machinery company has just been organized and will control 14 concerns, manufacturing seven-eighths of the woodworking ma chinery produced in the United States. The men at the head of the combine have been working for a long time to reach the point that was attaiued. Sat urday night the local companies of the combine closed their plants and no work will be done in any of them until next week. This week will be devoted to taking an inventory of the plant and stock on hand. Receiver Reduces the Assessment. Nashua, N. H Nov. 23.

' Dr. Julius A. Skilton died at hii home in Brooklyn Nov. 22, aged 64 years. He performed distinguished service as a surgeon during the war, later as a war correspondent and as consul general in Mexico. According to the last weekly report issued by the surgeon general of the marine hospital service, giving the re turns up to Nov. 19, there haa then ap peared during the yellow fever epidemic in I he south a total of 4,289 cases, of . hich 446 had proved fatal. District 44 and Vicinity. John Browner, the pioneer ex-sheriff of Platte county, (where his jurisdiction extended to Grand Island), was out to the polls on election day and exercised his franchise. Over in Colfax on Wednesday, Nov. 10, 1897, a son and heir was born to Mr. and Mrs. B. V. Stevenson. Grandma Drinnin was so elated over its arrival that she was constrained to go over and sit up with it for ten days. The benefits of the sheep ranch (just north of the city) to the farmers is duly appreciated by the latter, as it gives them from 1 to 2 cents a bushel for their surplus grain, more than the shipping market can afford; besides they get a ready market for the large quantities of hay and straw that would otherwise go to waste for want of consumers. The weather last week as fine as sum. mer, but at 5 o'clock p. m. Saturday the wind changed from southwest to north west and mercury soon sunk down 12. Sunday was clear and cold, with a stiff breeze from the north, just such weather as the cornhuskers tike to see, last week j ' being a little too warm. A few are done gathering, while many are only about half done. The corn is of good quality, but is not turning out so much as last year. Winter wheat is looking better now, than it has in any year since 1892, and the successful raising of that cereal in this latitude is no longer a question. Success lies in the manner of preparing the soil more than any other one thing, and your Joubnal correspondent hopes to be able to give a few practical hints on the manner of preparing the seed bed and planting the seed, before another season for seeding. There is no good reason why we should not raise winter wheat exclusively, instead of both winter and spring. rfttCtttttttCfe Ss. m 3 Battle Creek Republican: A good many cattle have been dying in this vicinity lately. It seems they get sick after being turned in the stalk fields. Last Monday and Tuesday Fred Scheer eger lost twenty head of his cattle and in about the same time D. J. Braje lost six and Frank Wright two. Madison Chronicle: Tuesday night of last week burglars broke into the gen eral merchandise store of Thos. Dngher, at Battle Creek. The safe was not locked and the thieves found $10 in gold in it and with what they got from the money drawer amounted to about 350. They also helped themselves to Eoine clothing, underwear, shoes and gloves. Two hoboes were taken in by the police of this city Saturday. They were captured at the depot while trying to dispose of some new gloves. Mr. Dngher was notified, but did not seem interested enough to como over to see if he could identify the goods, and after keeping the suspected men in jail over Sunday, tho officers turned them loose. The Sun's Motionx. The fixed stars were so called because men of science supposed they had no motion. But by charting the sky or taking a photograph of it, the stars were found to all have a proper motion. Thus our sun and solar system moves in space called a motion in translation, moving toward the constellation Her cules in the northern sky, and also moving nearer the line of tho Milky Way. The sun's motion is placed ut four miles a second giving a proper mo tion, and also an apparent motion with respect to the other stars. We guess that our earth's atmosphere moves to the sonthern hemisphere to form the southern summer, and again back to form our summer. This same form of motion is seen on planetary, and the sun's surface. This similar motion is seen in the realms of space in our galaxy, giving rise to most of the so-called stars wo see. The Milky Way divides the Bky into two parts in the ratio of fifteen on one side to sixteen on the other side, and thus do not lie in the center of the sky. Should we draw a line dividing the sky into two equal parts, the Milky Way is found to be to one Bide; and carrying tho same form of motion we see on the sun, and on planetary sur faces, the media of the Bky moves from side to side of central line giving rise to circular motions in the realms of space, and these need not be centers of starry orbs. There are but fourteen suns actually known to possess a visible diameter. Viewed even in a 30-inch object glass most of the stars are only points or dots on the sky. Viewed from opposite sides of the earth's orbit, they show no angle even with a base line given at twice 91,000,000 miles. There is no certainty that eucli stars are anything but circular motions in the realms of space. These are not all bright stars. A pho tograph of the line of the Milky Way shows as many stars just outside the line of the Milky Way as inside, bnt the stars outside are dark stellar orbs. We photograph by the dark photographic ray, and not by the bright or light rays. When a star moves out of the bright band it becomes a dark stellar orb, thus giving rise to variable stars, and the light is due to the bright band. This can be easily explained. Tho orbs of our solar system have numerous other motions. E. J. Cocch. Cattle for Sale. J. L.
