The United States supreme court on Monday decided the maximum freight rate case against the state of Nebraska, holding the Nebraska law to be contrary to the fourteenth amendment in that it -. authorized the taking of property with out due process of law. Senator Mason on Thursday intro duced a resolution for the relief of the widow of the colored postmaster recently killed by a mob at Lake City, South Carolina. It is the same as that injro-1 duced in the house by Mr. White of North Carolina except that the amount is made $10,000. The Nebraska City grocers and fruit venders purchased a car load of oranges and bananas at exceptionally low rates from a young roan representing the Da Gracio Fruit Co. of Omaha.

"Kutera Nebraska, with nineteen counties returned ont of twenty-eight, leads with a decrease or ww and is closely followed by central Ne braska, where twenty-six counties out of a total of thirty-seven show a reaucuon of $2,107,426J98. There are many coun ties devoted to agricultural pursuit iu Western Nebraska, which section reports a reduction of $71,04257 in twenty-seven counties. , Takinff the ratio of the above figures, Nebraska's liquidation of real estate mortgagee last year would aggregate the large sum of $7,729,676 for the total of ninety counties. "There never has been a period in the country's exktence where this state has acquitted itself more creditably and evinced the disposition to give back 100 cents on every dollar borrowed. "The sad experience of former years will now be lost and borrowers are slow to incur new obligations. The business of making loans has also been confined to responsible parties, whose reputation for honest dealing is a better guaranty than the over-questionable guaranties of the loan companies of the past "While there are many mortgages re maining in this stale the liquidation of 1897 will no far toward attracting new capital, and particularly so if the laws could be amended so as to offer better protection than now exists." Editor Welis of the Central City Democrat has the following to say in a recent number of his paper: -A great many of my friends are telling me that Christian Science is a humbug, ana some people that I never before heard of are sending newspapers and pamphlets that clearly show the fallacy of the faith once delivered to the saints. One pamph let says that John Wesley did heal the sick but claims that the power died out with John. Is God's arm shortened that cannot save? Will he not listen to the prayers of his disciples as he did in bygono ages? Now, brethren, let me alone. If I believe a lie it is a very com fortable lie that I believe. If it is a lie that has restored me to health then I will be ever grateful for that blessed lie. When the blind man was healed by Jesus and was asked about the process of cure, he could not answer bnt all he said was, "Behold I was blind and now I aee," and he praised and glorified God. He wanted no proof. He needed no long sermons or theological pamphlets. The most valuable of all the senses bad been restored to him and he believed and was happy. So it is with me. Christian Science restored me to perfect health, and all the brilliant essayists can talk from now on until the crack of doom and they cannot disturb my faith or in troduce a single doubt into my mind."

Uncle Samuel seems to be actively pre paring for a lasting peace. An electrical engineer has been found in London who will testify that several years ago a large number of mines were sold to Spanish oSoers in London, eight or ten of which were placed in Havana harbor. They were made in a special way and had a peculiarly constructed cable which he contends he can posi tively identify if the smallest piece is produced. Some of the mines were fixed so they could be fired from a fort. Tne one 'he describes as most likely to have caused the wreck of the Maine was con structed to contain 500 pounds of gun cotton. Thk Jocrxaii believes that the gov ernment is preparing for war with all possible dispatch, so that the country will not be caught asleep, at any event.

Grand Island banks will no longer pay interest on time deposits for a shorter period of time than one year, except in the fall, when interest deposits will be accepted to a limited extent for as short a time as six months. The banks are inclined to encourage individ ual investments in local securities and local enterprises, by declining to pay( interest on short time deposits and by reducing rates on long time deposits. The facts are that the banks are getting more money on hand than they can use to advantage. People are not borrowing as freely as they used to borrow, and are giving more attention to paying.

Crater Moatgosnery to Proceed to Ma vaaa la Flre or Ihr Fera Oftn Ship AMaatlag l-fltite Shape. Washditox, March 8. There no less than five important events Monday having a bearing more or less direct upon the troubled relations between the tt:i c.u ami Srniin. viz : The in troduction in congress by Mr. Cannon of a resolution carrying $50,000,000 for the nnblic defense, the withdrawal by the "Spanish government of its inti mated objection to the continuance in office of Consul General Lee. the order of the cruiser Montgomery to proceed to Havana in place of the Fern, the passage through the house ounemu increasing the artillery arm by two regiments, and the institution of nego tiations looking to the purchase of war ships for our navy. Mr. Cannon's resolution probably led all other topics of interest, particularly when it became known that it was the result of a conference between ine author, the president. Senator Hale and other leading spirits in congress.- e Incident Eaded. As for General Lee's case, the news of the satisfactory ending of the inci dent through the withdrawal of the suggestion by Spain was expected as soon as it was noted that a loophole had been left open through the failure to make the complainr- in anything like an official shape. Same fear is expressed that the consul general wiu not nna ms duties very congenial now that he knows that he is an unwelcome guest In Havana, but the administration is relying upon his devotion to welfare of Americans in Cuba and American in terests generally to submit his own personal wishes to restraint and remain at his post. Late in the afternoon Senor du Bosc, the Spanish charge, received a cipher oi.ia fvnm the minister of state at Madrid, Senor Gullon, saying: -You can disavow the rumor that any official application has been made for the recall of General Lee." This confirmed Senor du Bosc's view that a misapprehension had occurred. and that some intimation concerning General Lee had been construed iuto a request or demand for his recall, which Mr. Du' Bosc says with poeitiveness, was never intended. As there has been no explanation so far of the purpose which promoted the introduction of Mr. Cannon's resolu tion, it is said that the money is wanted primarily as an emergency fund. Those who look for a wholesale pur chase of warships from the bargains of European builders are likely to be dis appointed. The navy department at present is inclined to make but one pur chase of this kind, at first, at least, in the shape of a substantial iron-clad. It does desire to get possession of several of the larger class of torpedo boat de stroyers, such as the Sekul of the Rus sian naw, vessels of 0 tons, able to keep the sea in bad weatuer, a weaic point with our own boats, and capable of enormous speed, such as 3i kuots.

Owing to h strilrA of the steel moulders at the Pacific rolling mills in this city, work upon the battleship Wisconsin, which was recently ordered rushed, has been delayed very materially. The contract for the steel mouldings has been snblet by the Union works to the Pacific roll ing mills for the purpose of expediting matters, but when the mm were asked to work overtime, they struck for extra wages, which was considered exorbitant by the officials of the rolling mills. The result was that almost the entire force of moulders went out on Feb. 28 and the places of the strikers nave not yet been filled.

Saaalsh Versloa. Madrid, March 8. The details of Spain's request that the United States government recall General Fitzhugh Lee from his post as consul general of the United States at Havana are as fol lows: The United States minister, General Stewart L. Woodford, had a conference at the Spanish foreign min istry on Thursday last with Senor Gul lon, the minister tor foreign affairs,and an official of the ministry for foreign affairs, who acted as interpolater. Senor Gullon expressed the wish of the Spanish government that General Lee be recalled "as proof of the good will of the United States." General Wood ford cabled immediately to Washington on the subject and the reply of the United States government was commu nicated to Senor Gullon on Saturday. Some of the Spanish provincial papers referred to the matter Sunday, but the newspapers of Madrid have not made any reference to it. COURT WILL FINISH WORK SOON. Mar Wla4 Vr Slttta ! T"" Mare.

Washington-, March 8. Justice Har lan's opinion in the Nebraska maxi mum freight rate case held the Ne braska law to be contrary .to the 14th amendment, in that it authorized the taking of property without due process of law. and was, therefore, invalid. Hence the railroads won. Justice Har lan's opinion affirmed the opinion of the circuit court of appeals for the eighth circuit, was against the maxi mum freight rate law aud favorable to the railroads. . - j - This case was instituted ttflestthe" validity of a law passed by the Ne braska legislature in 1893, prescribing the maximum rates for the transporta tion of freight by railroads within the atxta Thnant annlies specifically to freight whose transit begins aud end. iu the state, and there was no effort in its enactment to control interstate freight. It affected all the railroads iu the state, and the railroad companies instituted the proceedings which were terminated by today's opinion by filiug a bill in the Nebraska circuit court soon after the law was enacted. The object of the bill was to secure an order re straining the state officials from put ting the law into force. The law was attacked on the ground of its constitutionality. It was charged that inasmuch as the act applied to state freights it was chargeable with a discrimination against them, and tnere. fore antagonistic to the spirit of the 14th amendment to the constitution. They contended that the maximum rate fixed was unreasonable and ruin ous to the roads. It was also asserted that the act interfered with interstate commerce. The state met all these al legations with argument in 8upportof the validity of the law and also with the countercharge that the case was one of which the federal courts could not properly take jurisdiction. The de cision in the circuit court was deliv ered by Justice Brewer of the supreme court, who sustained the contention of the railroad companies and held against the validity of the law. His opinion was based largely upon the charge of unreasonableness. He made a com putation showing that the reduction ef fected in freight rates amounted on an average to 29 per cent, which he held was too great a change. The case has been twice argued in the supreme court, Hon. W. J. Bryan appearing as one of the counsel for the state in the last hearing. Much interest has been mani fested in the decision ever since the case was docketed, because of the prob able influence a result favorable to the. law would nave upon tne legislation in other states. mounted. These guns required 10 men each to handle them aud in time of war 60. There were 4,025 artillerymen all told in the service. The guns em placed July 1 would require 7,000 re gardless of any exigency that might arise. Even if no exigency arose these men, he insisted, would be necessary to care for the fortifications and guns upon which we were expending millions of dollars. The charge that this bill was an attempt to increase the standing army, to be used possibly to overawe the cities,he said.he considered too friv olous to discuss. Cox Opposes the Bill. Mr. Cox, in opposition to the bill, said he would vote as cheerfully as any man in the house for this bill, if it were needed for the national defense as a war measure, but he argued that the president, as commander-in-chief of the army, had authority to detail men from the other branches of the service, the cavalry and infantry and that such de tails could man and care for the coast defenses without increasing perma nently the standing army. Belknap (Rep., Ills.) a son of ex-Secretary of War Belknap, and McClellan (Dem., N. Y.), a son of General Mc Clellan, both warmly advocated the passage of the bill in brief speeches. Shafroth (Colo.) caused a round of applause when he expressed his regret that a single voice should be raised against such a bill at such a time. There was no denying the fact that our foreign relations with Spain were on 'the eve of a rupture. War ought to be averted if possible, but we ought to pre pare at once, he said, for every emer gency. The time for debate expired at this time and Mr. Bailey, who had not been able to get the floor, asked for unani mous consent for three minutes. -Hepburn (Rep., la.) objected. Lewis (Dem., Wash.) attempted to offer an amendment prohibiting the use of these two regiments to suppress strikes. The bill was then passed with out division. The great chorus of ayes was offset by three voices on the minority side, Cox (Dem., Tenn.), Jones (Dem., Ya.) aud Todd (Fusion, Mich.), CURIOUS INSECT. A Butterfly That EnJojs Only Kt Heart of Lui. It is iu An2U4t that tbe naturalists observe the marvelous insect which is born, reproduces aud dies in' tbe period of a siufjle night, on tbe banks of the Maine, of the Seine, aud of the Rhine. It is the epueuiere cf which Sirauimer dani has written and wtaien u spoken of in Aristotle. Tbe life of this insect dees not last beyond four or five hoars. It dies to ward 1 1 o'clock in the evening, after taking the form of a bunt iny about six hours alter midduy. It is true, how ever, that oefoie taking this form it has lived three years iu J hat of a worm, which keeps always near the Lordtr of water in the holes which it makes in tbe mud. The chauge of this worm in the water to an ephemera which flies is so sudden that one has uot the time to see it. If one takes tbe worm iu the water, the hand cannot be taken away before tho chauge is made unless by pressing the worm slightly in the region of the chest. Bv this means it can ba taken from the water before the change takes place. The epbemere, after leaving the water, seeks a place where it can divest itself of a fine membrane or veil, which entirely covers it This second change takes place in the air. The ephemere assists itself with tbe point of its little nail as fiiuily as it can. It makes a niovemeut similar to that of a shiver, then the skin en the middle of the hack breaks apart, the wings slip out of their sheath, as we sometimes take off our gloves by turn ing them inside out. After this strip ping tho ephemere begins to fly. Some times it ha's itself straight up ou the surface of I Tie water ou the end of its tail, flapping its wings oue against the other. It takes no nourishment iu the five or six hours which are the limit of its life. It seems to have been formed but to multiply, for it does not leave its state of a worm until it is ready to deposit its eggs, aud it dies as soon as they are deposited. In three days' time one sees appear and die all species of ephemeres. They last sometimes until -the fifth day, for the reason that seme malady has affect ed some of them aud prevents them from changing at the same time as the others. Exchange.

Dun's Review summarizes the situa tion as to wheat in this remark: "The bottom fact is that the world needs wheat which this country only can sup ply for aliout six months to come." It has been suggested by an expe rienced farmer that the cause of so-called cholera is a little worm in the grain of corn fl, and that the best way of get ting rid of the worm is to cook the corn before feeding; the next lieat way is to grind it. At a public sale near Norfolk recently, although june months' time was offered on Bums exceeding 810, not a single note was given, which shows several things for that neighborhood: that farmers have money to invest; thnt they do not purpose going into debt. The Russians of McPherson county, South Dakota, are raising a species of grain which has the properties of both barley and rye. They say it does better in dry seasons than in wet ones, and makes a splendid feed for stock. They brought the seed from Rnssia. An experienced farmer thinks this a good season to put in plenty of spring wheat, sowing it early, and getting it in a good depth. He believes that the price will not be lower than now, at least, until after the main part of the crop shall have been threshed. There is a theory now firmly estab lished that any snbject pursued intelli gently will educate, and it is contended that there is no study, including agri culture, that will not educate a man if closely followed. The so-called educated man is .often very ignorant of the com mon knowledge that is essential on every farm. An education does not mean a mnroA in a college, and there is rich education that one can get without ever leaving the farm. Chancellor McLean at the Farmers' Institute, Fremont. The fungus disease in potatoes shows itself in roughness of the skin the leaves drop, the potatoes stop growing, the tuber becomes watery and is not good for food. Where the disease has been prevalent, plant no potatoes on the same ground for a year or two; destroy all weeds, and when planting is done, get the new seed potatoes from a more northern latitude. Mr. Powers of But ler county, with seed from Wisconsin, about doubled the ordinary crop, getting 1500 bushels of number one potatoes from five acres. Isaac Noyes of Waterloo read a very interesting paper before the Farmers' Institute at Fremont, on the feeding of cattle. We quote one paragraph: "We should be careful in selecting the stock at all times. I would buy calves all the time, and buy the best, and feed them liberally during the spring, and turn them into pastures, or get them ready for market in September and shred all the corn stalks for rough feed. Farmers should grind their feed and put their cattle in stalls. Labor intelligently directed produces the wealth of the world, we all know." Barliagtoa Koatr-Catlforaia Kxearviiw.
