the death of Mrs. J. H. East. Her death
was the result of blood poison caused

have gone from here. The community

The Hawley Smith lecture Friday
night filled the opera house comfortably
f ulL Almost every chair was occupied,
and quite a number in the gallery. Mr.
Smith held the closest attention of his
audience from 8:15 to 10:30. He is a
rapid thinker and fluent speaker, and
should he return, would get a crowded
house. This is the second time he has
been heard in Columbus, and both times
by audiences who were delighted with
his talks, although in different veins of
thought. There is no other Hawley

Thomas Wilson is in receipt of a let
ter from his son Charles, under date of
January 8, at Butte, Montana, in which
he says that the weather there is mild,
just snow enough forsleighing. He tells
of one of their private soldiers at Fort
Harrison committing suicide, the alleged
cause being despondency. If this inci
dent will lead our military authorities to
investigate the living; the actual, every
day concerns of the soldiery with a view
to bettering their condition, it will not
be without some good. Light, moral
light and mental light is what the world
most sadly needs.
Principle, pluck, push, industry and
pegging away accomplish all that is
worth accomplishing in this world, and
there are no men but can bring these
forces to bear on their individual prob
lems of life, because, in some shape, all
our trials, our work, our duties, are
problems for us to solve. We can call
others to our aid to help us, but our
difficulties are mainly our own; our
temptations are peculiarly our own; our
triumphs, too, are necessarily of the
same strength that belongs to the actual
nature of things. The industry which
plods is at last the brilliancy which
shines and burns.
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, who
made one of the great speeches of the
McKinley campaign in this city, died at
Thomasville, Georgia, Sunday afternoon
at 3:15. He went there to recuperate
from an attack of pneumonia and recov
ered rapidly till two weeks ago, when he
suffered from uremic convulsions. Mr.
Butterworth was of Quaker ancestry, and
was a fine man. He was a major in the
war of the rebellion, and was a commis
sioner of patents for Garfield, Arthur
and McKinley. He bad served five terms
in congress and one term in the state
senate of Ohio. He leaves a wife and
four children. He was born in Warren
county, Ohio, October 22, 1837.
Crimes against the right of suffrage
are among the worst that can be com
mitted, and ought to receive the con
demnation of all men. It would be a
credit to Platte county if every intelli
gent voter would insist on the enforce
ment of law every day in the year, but
just now there needs be a strong empha
sis of the law of elections, to the end
that no man or set of men hereafter
tamper with our ballots. It is when the
contest is close that the temptation to
wrong doing is strong. The Journal
has no means of knowing who was guilty
of wrong doing and outrage, but it is
certain that the public mind is not only
full of misgiving and doubt, but there
are very ugly tales abroad that only con
scientious, strong men, under the stress
of duty and authorized by warrant of
law, could sift to the bottom. A peti
tion, we learn, has been numerously
signed for the calling of a grand jury.
Concerning the suicide of Willard
Baker of Albion, mentioned m last week's
Jocbnal, the Albion News says: "That
the act was done on a momentary im
pulse and not premeditated was evident
when all his acts are considered. His
last words to the writer in the post office
were in his usual tones, he passed out
quietly, went across the street to the
bank, sorted the mail and committed tho
act, yet not more than five minutes
elapsed from the time he left the post
office till found by Mr. Blatter. Mr.
Baker was the junior member of the
banking firm of Thompson &. Baker and
has been engaged in business here since
1881. He has been one of Albion's fore
most citizens in advancing public inter
ests and was especially active in school
matters and was a member of the Albion
school board at the time of his death.
He leaves his wife and a little son about
four years old and a multitude of friends
to lament his untimely and tragical
death. The body was taken to the home
of his childhood in Cambridge, New
York, for banal"

Cattle in Hail Condition A Dodze County
Farmer Ilavins Serious Experience.
Hiram Rodgers, a farmer living near
Hooper, is now very much worried about
his cattle, which have lately become
afflicted with a peculiar disease. It is
known as hoof rot and its results are
almost invariably fatal.
In the space of a week Mr. Rodgers
lost twenty-sir head of cattle ont of two
droves numbering 140. He fears that,
at this alarming rate of the contagion,
he will soon lose his entire herd and in
that case his loss would be very heavy
as he has some choice Polled Angus
and Jersey.
The first symptoms of the disease are
a tenderness in the hoofs 'and a weak
ness in the hind parts. Gradual decay
immediately sets in and in the course of
about three weeks the hoof has fallen off
at the first joint. The rotting continues
until it attacks the bones in the legs.
After the disease has progressed for some
time the cattle are, of course, absolutely
helpless and have to be killed.
The worst feature of all is that there
seems to be no way to cure or prevent
the'diseaie. Mr. Rodgers wrote to the
State University agricultural depart
ment to have the state veterinarian in
vestigate the case in order that it might
have the attention of an expert. This
office however has been dispensed with
so that no help could come from that
source. Fremont Tribune.
Hogs for Slaosnterias.
Hogs to be slaughtered should not be
fed twenty hours before slaughtering.
They will not bleed freely. Nor should
they become heated by chasing or any
other cause. It likewise has a tendency
to check the flow of blood. Nor should
a hog be scalded until fully expired.
After the hog is hung up and the in
testines, lungs, heart and all are washed
out, split the hog right through the cen
ter, leaving a small attachment near the
tail and at the end of the snout, so as
not to overbalance it, and as soon as the
leaf lard is cold enough to be principally
removed, take it out. This will insure
the perfect cooling of the meat This
last precaution we learned from our
large lumbering concerns and packers
in the early days, when selling dressed
hogs. We have found it a safe practice.
The heavier the hog the more essential
its quick and perfect cooling. Never al
low meat to freeze solid, or pack it in
frozen condition, for it is sure to spoil.

Besides rotation, resolution and mo
tion in translation accompanying the
sun, the planetary bodies have other
motions. A fourth motion is that of
perturbation. When the orbs pass each
other they are attracted and move toward
each other, then away, the lighter one
moving the most. This is the way the
orbs are weighed, and with the volume is
calculated the mass of the orb.
A fifth and sixth motion is that of
acceleration and retardation. As one
orb nears another the one approaching
has its motion accelerated, and the other
has its motion retarded. After they pass
this is reversed, and one equals the other.
A seventh motion is that of a gravita
tion motion. As our globe increases in
size from meteoric showers and other
sources, the mass of the earth increases
and causes a motion toward the sun, de
creasing the length of the year. But
during the period of decreasing of the
size of the globe as during a great sum
mer when evaporation lowers the height
of our great lakes as well as our ocean
areas, etc., then the mass of the globe
becomes less, and the length of the year
becomes greater. This same affects our
moon as well as other orbs.
An eighth motion is a change in the
axis of the earth's rotation. It is a law
of motion that bodies will rotate upon
their lesser axis, and when, by any means,
this changes, the axis of rotation must
change. An increase or decrease in the
ice cap upon the poles of the globe; or
denudation of land surface by icebergs
(that always form upon the land, and
slide off, and float large masses to dis
tant areas) has an influence to change
the axis of rotation.
The warm years of 1894 and 1895 melt
ed the snow from Greenland, which has
not been .done for 400 years. This ex
poses the gold left by grinding ice, and
during the Golden age man first made
his implements of gold then copper.
The period of the year has been de
creasing during the last 2,000 years of
observation. A similar chan go is observ
ed in the orbit of our moon. There are
varying, and fanciful explanations of the
causes operating to produce these. Such
for instance that the change of the
moon's accelerative is produced by a
shortening of the sidereal day through
tidal action. There are still other
motions of planets, satellites and planet
oides or asteroids. Of planets we have
motions in precession, change in perihe
lion and aphelion, and that of change in
obliquity of ecliptic.

Norfolk News: Hon. J. R. Manning of
Carroll, one of the most prominent and
well to do men of the county, met with
a terrible accident about daylight yes
terday morning. His right arm was cut
off inch by inch to the shoulder in a
cornstalk cutter. All but one artery was
severed and the fiesh was torn some
down his right side. He is in a critical
condition, and it is not expected that he
will live. Dr. Wightman of Wayne was
summoned, also a physician from Omaha.
Mr. Manning was a member of the Ne
braska state legislature in 1689, and
served the Eleventh senatorial district
with distinction, winning many friends
throughout the state.
Battle Creek Enterprise: Emma, the
G-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Jacob Holey, who reside near Battle
Creek, met with a serious accident last
Friday evening. It seems the child was
extracting a sandbur from her mitten
with her teeth and in some manner swal
lowed it, the burr lodging in her throat,
causing inflammation to set in. Doctors
Tanner and Daniel were summoned Sat
urday evening and relieved the child aa
best they could by the use of medicine.
They returned Sunday morning and
found it necessary to insert a tnbe in the
child's throat in order to save its life.
As soon as the tnbe was inserted the
little one commenced to grow better and
was getting along nicely when last heard
from. The physicians think they will be
able to remove the burr by the use of
medicines and save the child's life.
Schuyler Sun: Joe Mulligan of this
city has a cow which is undoubtedly the
best butter maker in the county, and we
don't blame Joe if he refused to sell snch
a cow for love or money. They made
7 4-10 pounds of butter to the hundred
pounds of milk, and the man who runs
the creamery says it is the best he has
heard of. A good cow like this is worth
a great deal to a private family and the
man who owns one has something better
than money Saturday Sheriff McLeod
went to Platte county and arrested a
young man by the name of Adolph Hel
bnsch for bastardy upon complaint of
Christine Oldigs, of Leigh. He was
brought before Judge Cuba Monday and
bound over to appear at the next term
of the district court in the sum of $1,000.
the bond being signed by his father,
Henry Rickert and Lou Grotluschen.
The people are well to do farmers living
about ten miles north of Columbus. The
young man declares that he will not
marry the girl. ,
Central City Nonpareil: A great many
people were snrnrised to hear last Fri
day that Steve Arrants, of Palmer, had
flown the country and that a reward was
offered for his arrest. It appears that
the yonng man, who has always been
regarded as perfectly straight, has been
making money of late by mortgaging
several head of cattle he never possess
ed. One of his victims was the Platte
Yalley Bank. Mr. Letcher, the cashier,
went to examine the stock and discov
ered that there was none. He then
sought Mr. Arrants, with a like result.
The sheriff then started in pursuit, and
found Mr. Arrants' trail lay through
Omaha, Fullerton, this city, and back to
Palmer, at which place he caught him
about 3 o'clock Saturday morning. The
prisoner seems to have worked on the
belief that is so popular, that money
obtained under false pretense is not
robbery unless the intention is to de
fraud, and expecting to be able to pay
before the note was due, took the risk of
discovery. While nothing definite, of
course, can be known of Mr. Arrants'
thoughts, the general opinion is that he
does not realize what he has done, and
the feeling is one of pity, rather than
condemnation. At present he is still
languishing in the county bastile.
