Mrs. Michael Doody of Platte Cen ter died Satarday, aged 70 years. The remains were buried at the Shell creek cemetery. She was a sister of David, James and Henry Carrig; of Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Deneen and Mrs. Burke, one of the older settlers of the county, and much respected by all who knew her. Wm. T. Wooaley, of Eureka, Illinois, arrived in the city Satarday. He has been sojourning at Seattle, Wash., this winter, with Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood Kinnear, who are with him, visiting in this city with C.

He had been an invalid for some time, which ia thought to have prompted the rash deed. As we are closing oar forms for the press, an alarm of fire has been turned in for the B. & M. coal sheds. We pre sume that little damage results, outside of the loss of coal, about 190 tons, worth $5 a ton, some of which may be saved. The fire department were handicapped by lack of pressure on the water at the start oat. i Ballard's Horehound Syrup is the best known remedy for consumption, couehs. colds and all throat and chest troubles.

Mr. Gluck begins this week with the excavation for his new building on Elev enth street. It was rumored that he and Mr. Krng of Omaha (who owns the forty four feet front adjoining Mr. Gluck's twenty-two on the west) were projecting the erection of an opera house, bnt Mr. Gluck. when asked about it, said that he never had any notion of the kind. Chicken thieves are raiding the hen roosts in some parts of the state, and in other parts, farm houses are entered dur ing the absence of the owners. Is it possible that the rural districts of this country, in self-defence, will be com pelled to employ a force of mounted police sufficient to protect themselves from petty thieves, and bad characters in general? At half past eight Friday morning a fire was discovered on Twelfth street threatening Lindstrom's tailoring estab lismrnt and other frame buildings ad joining. The prompt response of the fire department to the call was effective to qaench the namea in short order with no special damage. The caase was prob ably a spark from somewhere near and lodging on the roof.

Ballard's Snow Liniment cares rheu matism, neuralgia, headache, sick headache, sore throat, cuts, sprains, bruises, old sores, corns and all pain and inflammation. The most pene trating liniment in the world.. Try it 50c Dr. A. Heintz and Pollock Co. Some thief broke into pen's wash-house south of Paul Hop the family residence in the block west of the court bouse Thursday night and stole about $10 worth of the best of the family wash ing, consisting of dresses, drawers, etc A child's blue garment, and a calico dress, belonging to somebody, else, were found in the yard, evidently dropped by the thief. It is thought he got in at the south window. Rev. Tice, one of the superintend ents of the Children's Aid society of New York, gave a most interesting ad dress at the M. E. church Sunday even ing. The society own twenty homes for children in New York City. It has found homes for over 100,000 children. No girl or boy need be homeless in the city. The Society sends thousands of children every summer to the seashore where are cottages, in which they are ca red for. The Omaha presbytery was largely attended. Bev. Dr. Lowrie of the Theo logical seminary of Omaha was elected moderator, Bev. Hawley of Omaha and Bev. B, E. L. Hayes of this city, clerks. Bern Braden and Ashton were chosen delegates to the general assembly and Bevs. Lampe and Hayes as alternates. Mr. Fleming and Mr. Lower were li censed to preach. Able addresses were made by Drs. Gordan, Earsha, Wilson and Barnes. Already questions concerning the drafting of soldiers for the army are being mooted, and this was one we heard the other day: Suppose Colum bus and Columbus township are desig nated to furnish as their quota for a call, ten men, and A. B. is one of the men drafted, and employs Y. Z. for a substitute, paying him for the risk of going in his stead. Now, suppose that in a subsequent call for more men, Y. Z. is himself drafted. Must he serve the government under this draft? If what becomes of A. B? so, A very stringent reducing order has gone into effect on the Union Pacific lately. The assistant agents at Cedar Rapids, Genoa, Madison, St. Edward and other points have been taken off, leaving, the agents to do the business alone, which is something of a hardship at most of the points. One switching crew has been taken off here, besides the night baggageman. Similar retrench ment has been made all along the main line and branches, and no doubt the company will net several thousand dol lars per month by the operation. "Bob"' Wilson, one of the biggest and best natured boys in Platte county, was in town Saturday en route to Oma ha, where he has' a position with the Thompson-Houston Electric Light Co. Bob is a Platte county boy by birth, and has lived nearly all his life in Joliet township. He went to Omaha about two months ago to see what the chance was to get a position on the force of the Trans-Mississippi exposition police, but he eayB that this particular line is so greatly overdone that they get all the men they want at a very cheap figure. Miss Nannie McMahon had a rather exciting experience with a runaway horse on Eleventh street last Friday afternoon. Their usually trusty and re liable family horse became frightened at something when near Mere' meat mar ket, shied suddenly, throwing Miss Mc Mahon to the ground, she falling heavily on her side and shoulder. The horse continued with "the upturned buggy, and was caught near Schroeder's mill. It was found that neither horse nor buggy had suffered in the least. Miss Mc Mahon plnckily climbed into the vehicle and continued on her way. By such indications as these from a telegram of Friday, can be judged pretty accurately the relative condition of this country and Spain with reference to their ability to carry on war: "If the American fleet blockades Ha vana it can take the town without firing a shot. A can of condensed milk sells for 80 cents. Ham, which was 18 cents a pound, now sella at 30 cents. Pota toes are 10 cents a pound. Gin and other liquors are steadily increasing in price, values pf provisions and nec essaries have doubled and trebled in price and are still going up. Spanish paper money nobody will have. A Span ish cental, valued at $4.70 in American money, is quoted at $15 in Spanish, bat nobody will exchange one for the paper stuff." From Henry Hockenberger we learn that f oar ot the boys brought here last week from New York by Bev. Tice went to Mr. Caspersoa, Ed. Hahn, Aug. Krn ger and Ed. Wardeman of Polk coanty; seven others to Chaa. Wardeman, Chris. Zambram, Peter Zambrna, Chaa, A.

At the meeting Taeaday evening April 19, all were present before the reading of the minutes waa completed. Mayor Fitzpatrick made a verbal communication to the council, concern ing lines of official work, which be de sired to outline to them. Lease of Hanover park one year for $5.00 has been made with B. W. Young. A petition, signed by Messrs. Gluck, Marty, McAllister, Schwarz, Byan and others, was presented to the council re questing that body not to grant the petition of C.M.F3etoa for a sidewalk on the west side of block 117, because Mr. Elston is not the owner of the prop erty, and because there is little travel on that side the block. The petition was placed on file. The following bonds were approved, $500 each: Wm. Becker, clerk, F. W. Biemer, Jonas Welch sureties. W. T. Allen, water commissioner, Henry Ba- gatz, J. Greisen, O.

The Journal believes that this will give the city very good value for their money, and desira ble results. A contract was ordered drawn with A. Heintz for lighting the streetB of the city for the year ending May 5, '99, four teen lights, full -grade, 1200 candle power at $1400 a year. The police judge was authorized to purchase a docket for his court. The committee on finance were grant ed further time to prepare estimate of expense for the ensuing fiscal year.

From some cause winter rye is not looking so well as usual at this season of year. Winter wheat, spring wheat, barley, oats and alfalfa are looking their best just now, and are all one could ask. Less acreage and more thoroughness in preparing the soil and putting in the grain, give best results. Wm. Moore, living three miles north of the city, fonnd two of his hogs shot, one day last week. One of them is dead and the other was yet alive Saturday, and Moore charges the shooting to Clarence Clark, a neighbor living just across the way. We do not know the particulars, bat suppose the hogs were trespassing and the gunner took action before considering the matter seriously. M. Sheedy has just finished giving his farm residence a coat of paint, and in due time will apply another coat, which adds very much to appearance besides preserving the buildings, and now. why not let us all who can, brush up our buildings and give them a good coat of paint? It will be money well invested and we will then be in good cheer to rejoice in the independence of suffering Cuba. Joe Drinnin, who has thirteen colonies of pure Italian bees, says the winter just past" was very favorable for the keeping ot honey bees, as his brood chambers all contain strong colonies and a good supply of honey. The bees have finished taking pollen from the cotton trees and are now working the box alder and English cherry, which is in bloom. Another dsy or two, and the soft maple will furnish a quantity of good early honey. Few farmers in the busy rural district have stopped long enough to consider the amount of pleasure and profit to be derived from a single colony of pure bred honey bees. We know of a keeper, only a novice in the business, who took from thirteen hives last year, 600 lbs. of section honey from super cases, and the brood chambers of same hives averaged 56 lbs. on Nov. L It will be aeen that the snrplas honey waa worth $90, be sides the pleasure of having honey on the table every day in the year.

To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of Platte coanty ; Gentlemen I desire to submit to your Honorable Body an opinion with reference to the sheriff entering hia jiier fees on tbe fee book, and reconsidering th one I had former ly given. I am prepared to give only an opinion which is as follow: Action 13. chapter 4a. of the compiled statutes of Nebraska. 1397. provides that "the laiiers or keepers of the ja.1 shall, unless the sheriff leet to act as Jailer in person, be a deputy aapointed by the sherilf and such Jailer shall take the necessary oath before entering upon the daties of his office." I would infer from the above provisions of the statutes, that insofar as the sheriff :zay appoint a deputy tc act as Jailer without the consent of the county board that the Jailer would be entitlfd to receive ail of the tees of said office, and would not be required bi enter tbem on the sheriff's fee book. Ho I think also, tbe conclusion would naturally follow that If tbe sherilf should Hect to.ict.aK jailer in prion, be would s and In relation ui tlte county with reference to fee, iht? same aa a deputy apoointed to act as Jailer and would not Ih- rt-nired to euter the J-ilcrs f rs on hia fee book. The case of Robert Kyd vs. Uuge county. 38 Neb. page 13ft has bn cited as throwiug some lien ton this question. I will therefore give it as my opinion that the sheriff Is not required by law to enter his jailers fees ou his fee book. Kespectfully Submitted. Wji O'Brikx.

In the U. S. Weather Review for Jan nary, 1896, under notes by the editor, Prof. Cleveland Abbe gives tbe follow ing: "A correspondent, Mr. L. D. Woodfill, Hignouse, Fayette Co, Pa asked the following question: Any information will be thankfully received." "In this part of the country, near Un iontown. Pjl. we always bear a loud roaring as of great winds, from six to twelve or sixteen hours preceding a mountain storm. During this roaring, which appears to be in the mountain six miles off it is almost a perfect calm here. What is the cause?" We desire to add our mite to compare with any other solution. We have given a paper upon the subject with respect to the cause of varying light ages. And intending to give one upon the subject of sound we add this paper as our ex planation of the question asked above. We gave: that, as we pass outward from tbe center of a circular movement in the realms of Bpace we reach a band that gives a vibration that in eegniaable to tbe human eye. Still further we reach a vibration recognized by tbe ear. And in the realms of space through which our solar system passes it reaches such bands, then pssnon from them. Our solar system has its bands also. During the age of the "Hundred Eyed Argus" we saw more than we now see of planets. That is at times we have a sun age, then a moon age, then a dark age, and ages in which we can hear, then one in which we do not hear. This mountain sound has a similar solution, and is an echo or action of the sound vibrations that are cognizable on the approach of a storm movement in the atmosphere. To go to the old mythic legends bear ing on this subject we find that in an age allotted to Hermes, which was a moon age, that having passed from the one previous man acquired tbe gift to hear. The mythic account says: ''That four hours after the birth of Hermes, he invented the lyre." Other accounts say "the morning stars sang." These accounts need be read in a mythic sense, as in "ye olden time" they symbolized things, gave life and powers to that by which they explained how they occurred. Hermes was given as the inventor of speech and of writing. When man could not hear but could see, he used a sign language. But when he could not see well, but could hear, he used a spoken language. When he conld neither see nor hear well, he used a written lan guage. In the Norse myth: "Night's sable goddess that sits enthroned in ebon midnight" drives her chariot a 24 honrs course, being always present at an eclipse. Then Sol follows with the sun chariot. Then Mani with hers. Bat they are followed by a band of wolves. In time the wolf Skoll drowns the sun. And afterwards the wolf Hayti devours Mani or the moon. Thus the arm disap pears before tbe moon, and again the moon reappears before the sun. In the Greek myth, as they explain it "Pbcebns lets his son, Phaeton, drive tbe san chariot. He could not drive, but let the steeds run away." But in time a change came and Hermes is said to "take after Phaeton and, knockiag him off, took the reins and brought the sun chariot back, and Apollo took charge." The Egyp tians Bay that "Ra, tbe old sun, waa followed by Osiris, the new sun." Storms enter our atmosphere from without and are to be noted first above, or as passing in some mid-current, and are. slower to reach the earth's surface in summer, as the air stratum is greater than in winter. The vibratory sounds now being active, we hear them when the storm becomes active above. Tbe storm moves first in some mid-current; or again it pours down (or up) through some intervening air stratum, often breaking throngh some place where there is a monntaia peak or following some divide that gives the least resistance. Such places are good stations from which to telegraph the commencement of The Mussulman powers are devotees of the moon, while the European powers are devotees of the sua.
