Last Friday evening at Wahoo, J. H. Beigel's heavy four-horse team became frightened and ran away, throwing him to the frozen ground, breaking his neck. He was manager of the Standard Oil company in Saunders county. Sunday St Louis was again fearful of a tornado like that of May 27, 1896, but, after the darkness, word was received from Rob Boy, Ark., that a tornado blew down nearly every building there, killing one man and injuring several other persons. The most complete list of casualties at the Windsor hotel fire, New York, show that fifteen persons were killed, without attempting to speculate on the bodies in the ruins. Forty persons are missing. Fifty-two names are on the list of injured whoso whereabouts are known. News has reached Seattle that five Finlanders claim to have discovered evi dences of the original of the Russian boundary line inscribed on a series of old mounds, which, if established, will place the Klondike country within the United States. Consul. McCook, at Dawson, will communicate with the Washington authorities regarding tho matter. The Colorado senate has passed a bill providing that a three-fourths ver dict wa civil action shall be valid. The DiUjpil now go to the house and it is announced that it will surely be passed by that body. While there may be need in criminal cases for a unanimous ver dict, it is argued that a verdict deter mined by the affirmative vote of three (feartbs of 'a jury that is to say, nine out of -twelve jurors should be accept ed in civil actions. If this bill becomes a law it will prevent many mistrials which now occur, owing to the fact that unanimous verdicts are requisite. St. Joseph News. Auditob Cornell sent his nephew out to examine insurance companies. The nephew was already drawing $100 per month from the state as county treasurer examiner. Under the insur ance law he was not allowed to charge for the examination of insurance com panies, except for actual expenses. The law, however, had no terrors for a nephew of the auditor. He charged the companies at the rate of $25 per day, with expenses extra, cleaning up over $400 in one month besides his salary from the state, and an "expense" bill he also charged against the state as treas mrer examiner. It is a very thrifty family. Opinion. COWEMHB TIE SQUIBS. The Oregon and the Iris arrived at Manila Saturday last, and Dewey tele graphs that the Oregon is -in fit con dition for any duty. Washington, March 19. The war de partment today received the following dispatch from Major Gen. Otis regard ing operations against "the insurgents: "Manila, March 19. Adjutant Gener al, Washington: Our improvised gun boats under Captain Grant, Utah artil lery, have full possession of Tguna de Bay; troops, inhabitants and property on shore of lake at oar mercy. Wheat on's brigade on Pasig river has driven enemy northeast into Province Morong.

So at 8 o'clock they returned and a man by the name of Grayson, of Co.

It was not fifteen minutes after the first shot was fired until the Nebraska regi ment was out of bed and had a skirmish line formed and ready for business. The firing was kept up all night, and it has been, in fact, all week. Co. K, the next morning, made a charge on and captured Block House No. 7, and the Filipinos got out of there pretty quick, when they saw us coming. I tell you that Gen. Sherman told the truth when he made the remark, "icar is 1ieH.n - Our fellows have taken srerything in sight from Manila to the waterworks, including the works, which' at very valuable, they supplying a great many people with water.

Editob Journal: I've just laid down the last, Journal. It always interests all of ns. But one item in this disturbs ma All my life Fve been trying to learn the lesson of letting other peoples' business alone, but it wont stay learn ed. So I must say that' I am sorry to see Mr. Clark's call for "75 ft - -.;:v.. go to Fresno, Cal.," etc. I do not who. Dr. Clark is, doubtless an man desiring to do tharight thing others as well as hiawttfMHat shi he succeed in persnaasMBkror any other considerable 'nmaatiuKJiimilies to leave Nebraska for ll CaL, the coming summer, wiUlBjppecta tion of getting desirable homes and remunerative business he will be the cause of much disappointment' and trouble. No one is more enthusiastic and confident about California than L But I insist, and so advise all who ask of me about coming, that no one should arrange to come to California until through some disinterested party, or what is better, a preliminary visit; he knows just what he is coming to and what he can confidently expect when once here. The conditions are utterly different from those of any other state in the Union, hence it is more difficult to iudge what one may expect, than if he was removing to another state when the differences were not so great. But I would not trouble you with this were it not that at this time special conditions exist that those who think of coming to California should be aware of before completing their plans to do so. 1898 proved to be the dryest year in Califor nia in 25 years, less than six inches of rain falling in the twelve months. That is not the worst, our rains come in the winter months. These months are now nearly passed and less rain has fallen even than last year. Hence the pros pect for the balance of the year is dis couraging. The rivers, mountains and other reservoirs depended upon for irri gation have not been replenished and in some instances disaster stares the farm ers in the face. Fresno county has been one of the prosperous counties of the state. It is the center of the great raisin industry, but that industry was severely over done and during the past few years the section has not been pros perous. The dry spell last year with another threatening to follow has greatly reduced the value of property there as in many other sections. I insist that no state has a brighter future than Califor nia, but this is not the year for a poor man, at least, to come here unless he has something definitely desirable to come to and he knows just what that is. I'm sure there must be a better outlook for the working man with no money to risk on chances, on some of those grand old prairies of Platte county, at least for this prospective dry year. Riverside is one of the few exceptions where trouble has not come for lack of water. Our irrigating systems are fed by one of the greatest underground lakes known anywhere and were the only ones in Southern California that supplied the full amount of water' dur ing the past year. And there is no doubt about a full supply this year even without aain. But even here there is not much inducement for a man without ample means, to come. It's a busy place. Nearly a score of great fruit packing houses give good employment to hundreds of men and women. The ranch work requires a great many labor ers, but the hundreds out of employ ment in near-by places are ready to step into any vacancies, giving little chance for a stranger. The orange bnetneas has been specially successful here and prop erty is high. A neighbor, an elderly man in poor health, offered his place consisting of a ten-acre orange grove with modest hoase and barn for sale a little time ago. It was quickly taken up at a cash prioe of $1,750 per acre, $1700 lrAaHlViKan MlBBBBBBBBBBBBW' "srttf -S X - a "4 jQjj&lBU8t study at the scientific a year, although the south raised seed was mogtlyfwaste! or made net cash and the seller reserved the crop on the trees that will biicg him not less than $4,000. This, of course, is excep tional, but no desirable property can be bought under from $300 to $1,000 per acre. So you see a man needs money if he buys orchard property here. It is true that there are constant accretions to our inhabitants. They come largely from the crowds of winter tourists or those that come to stay during the cold months and get in sufficient love with the place to come back and make per manent homes. Employers in business places and frequently on the fruit farms are usually those who had friends here to secure places for them. The same is largely the case in other prosperous towns in Southern California at least. So I think you will readily see why I would caution those who have their faces set towards California to be quite sure of conditions here before they pull up in the east. It is true that we have pitied you in the east during the past oold siege with tho thermometer down among the teens below or worse' while we are working among our orange, trees in our shirt sleeves with our summer hats on. But most of us have to look after something besides climate in this work-a-day world. I designed to have written of our in terest and enjoyment in your daughter's art department in the Journal. It is a remarkable success. I must write her direct about it, as it is certainly very creditable. The families of the Pickets are both all quite well and prospering. Our own people also are well.

Jo seph Medill. editor of the Chicago Tri bune, died here yesterday morning of heart failure. He was conscious up to the moment of death, which he met -with calm placidity. He said to his private physician ten minutes before he died: "My last words shall be, What is the news?' " He came here three months ago for his health and has been confined to his bed only five days. His grandson, Robert R. Mc- OotSBipk; was with him in ms last mo- remains will be sent to was born in New Anril 6. 1823. He removecWja ms parents to scars: county, Ohio,, in 1831, and until he was 21 years of age worked on his father's Subsequently he studied law and the practice of his profession at Philadelphia, O., in 1846. In 1849 ded a free sou Whig paper at ton, O., and thenceforth devoted to journalism. In 1832 he es tablished the Leader, a free soil Whig paper, at Cleveland,, and in 1854 was one of the organizers of the Republican jiarty in Ohio. Shortly after this event he removed to Chicago, and in May, 1855, he aid two partners purchased the OMcas Tribune. Mr. Medill was a Bsepbsr of the Illinois constitutional convention in 1870. In 1871 he was ap pointed by President Grant a member offthe first civil service commission. "Old Hatch- la Dead. Chicago, March 17. Benjamin P. Hutchinson, at one time the leading grain speculator in the United States, died last night at Lake Geneva, Wis. Mr. Hutchinson was at the height of his fame in 1888, when he ran his corner in September wheat. After that he be gan his decline, and the financial end came in 1891. His last deal was a big one, he being on the wrong side of the market for $2,000,000. Financially crushed, he left town and went to New York City, where he opened a second hand store. He gave np that and re turned to Chicago, where he traded in a small way when he could get people in terested in his schemes, but his career may be said to have closed with the deal of '91. No one knew how much he was worth. He would never talk about private affairs. The estimates of his wealth, when at his height, place the amount anywhere from $2,000,000 to $16,000,000. ' War Ballaem Operator OUa. Boston, March 20. Thomas Carroll Boone, the telegraph operator in the war balloon in the operations before Santiago, died today at the Massachu setts hospital as the result of an opera tion on a wound received in the fall of the balloon after it had been shot to pieces. Boone, with two government officers, performed heroic work in the great air ship, which was a target for the Spanish gunners, nntQ it fell into the trees and threw all three men out. Boone was caught in the drag anchor and was fearfully wounded. He never fully recovered, although since last fall, up to within two days of his death, he continued his work as a telegrapher. Calamity has overtaken all three of the men who were in the unfortunate bal loon. One of the officers died as the result of his injuries, while another is an inmate of an insane asylum. tpfctleP i lal, New York, March 17. When shown the reports from Chicago regarding a great combination of all the ready print and plate houses about to be formed in that city, Major O. J.

Flames which originated from the Igniting of a lace curtain burst forth from the second floor windows of the Windsor hotel at Forry-seventh street and -Fifth aveuae. shortly af ter 3 p. m. yesterday, just as the St. Patrick's day parade was passing the building, and in a few momenta they had leaped up to the roof and en veloped the entire Fifth avenue and Forty-seventh street fronts of the hotel. Ten minutes later the flames were roar ing through the interior of the bote and all escape by means of stairways and elevators was cut off. There was the wildest scene of excitement within and without tho building. Hundreds of guests asd employes were in the hotel when the fire broke out, and for many of them escape with safety was impossible. Probably from 80 to to 60 lives were lost within a half hoar, and SO or 40 persons were wounded in jumping from windows and in rushing through the roaring flames in the corri dors and on the stairways. Many who were wounded died later in the nearby residences and at hospitals, and others who made wild leaps to the stone side walks were so badly injured that they are still hovering between life and death. . The flames could not be checked and in two hours from the time the fire broke out the entire structure was in ruins and the streets on three aides, of the building were strewn with debris from fallen walls and chimneys.

Soon after the first alarm was given, people in the lower floors of the hotel, who had easy access to the streets, com menced to pour out of the building in great numbers, but it very soon be came apparent that a great majority of the occupants of the hotel were either panic stricken or unable to make their way to the ground floor. Windows were thrown up on every side of the building, and guests, mostly womenEa au stages oi terror, maae tneir appear ance and uttered frantic appeals for aid from the crowd below. But asthe flames gathered about them,- theybe came more terror stricken, and present ly some of them stood upon the narrow window sills and beckoned to the spec tators that they were about to leap. The men collected upon the sidewalks ready to render any assistance they could, and in the meantime some of the women left the window sills and dropped to the streets. In most in stances the efforts to catch them and break their awful fall were unavailing, for they struck the sidewalk, and in most cases broken limbs were the re sult. As sfin as the firemen could get their scaling ladders into position, they climbed the sides of the building' and entered at every window where there was an unfortunate guest appealing for assistance, and many cases ofhfr0to rescue were witnessed by the throng in the streets. Laap to the Sldawalks. Directly across from the hotel is the home of Miss Helen Gould and at her direction many of the injured were carried there and were treated by physicians and nurses whom she had sent for. In the meantime the chief of police had telephoned to every hospital ic the city asking that assistance be sent. Ambulances forced their way through the crowds as quickly as pos sible and the injured people who had made the frightful leaps from the hotel windows were placed in them and re moved to the hospitals. Several occu pants of the hotel appeared at the win dows of the sixth and seventh stories and even on the roof and leaped to the streets from those points. Very few of them escaped either instant death or in juries which resulted in their death in a short time later. The loss on the hotel is estimated at bout 1,000,010. It is believed by both firemen and police that there are a num ber of bodies in the ruins. The list of missing for so many hours after the fire was practically over is very large. Up to midnight no bodies had been discovered and no more deaths from injuries' received at the fire were re ported from the hospitals, bat 'a num ber of the injured were still in a seri ous condition. The death list remains at 16 and the list of missing has been reduced to 43, as a number of those pre viously reported as unaccounted for, re ported in person or had bean located by friends. Fight Tadar DMBealUaa. Honq Kong, March 21. A corre spondent of the Associated Press at Manila says: Ah army has seldom operated under harder conditions than have been encountered by the American "Flying brigade." The country the American troopers have traversed is intersected with lagoons, nar row and unfordable rivers and bamboos so thick that the enemy cannot be seen 100 feet distant. Daring the charges the Americans were ignor ant as to whether they were attacking a hundred or thousands of rebels. One of the prisoners captured by the Ameri cans says the Filipino leaden boast that that they can continue each a war for years, depending upon the American farces being weakened daily by 80 men killed, wounded or invalided. Some of the high officials here think that 10,000 reinforcements are needed. Con siderable rain has fallen already and it seems that the season I or rains id btgia ning prematurely.

The signed treaty of peace will be forwarded to the French smbsisadar at Washing ton, M. Jules Oambon, for exchange with the one signed by President Mc Xinley. No decree on the subject will be published in the Official Gasette. Washington, March 18. The first ! mav lu atiahlA s ftlu naatw treaty by the queen regent of Spain was conveyed to Secretary Hay and the of -ncialfl of the administration through the exclusive bulletin of the Associated Press. The secretary was natarally gratified at the action, which he had expected would follow the close of the cortesl The action makes it possible to exchange the ratifications, and thus complete the treaty within the time set by the treaty itself as the maximum. The protocol was signed Aug. 13, last, at the white house, by the president and Ambassador Oambon. Deo. 10 the treaty was signed at Paris by the com missioners, Feb. 6 it was ratified by the United States senate, after a memor able struggle. Feb. 10 the nrealdent gave it his signature, and today, seven months and Tour days after the signing of the protocol, the Spanish queen re gent gave her formal assent and signa ture. 'Contrary to an expectation that seemed to have obtained in some quar ters, the signature of the treaty does not involve the immediate discharge of all the volunteer soldiers. It was stated positively at the state depart ment that legally the treaty does not go into effect until the ratifications have been exchanged and it will farther be necessary for the president to pro claim it to the people of the United States, including the soldiers, before it. can be known officially that the war is over. In all other aspects however, the state department will treat the war as at an end. It is believed here that the new Spanish minister will oome pre pared immediately after making the ratification to instigate a treaty for trade, commerce and amity. MANILA COMMISSION MEETS.

A few moments at the city waterworks Monday morning was sufficient to con vince us that the city had found some thing more valuable than usual in the shape of a well. The new well is in the midst of the first set of drive wells that were put down several years ago by the city. It is 102 feet deep from the surface, the tubing six inches in diameter, the water rising to the top of the tube, 88 feet, be ing 14 feet from the surface. At the bottom of the tube there is a 10-foot point through which the water enters, and it rests in a bed of clear gravel, seemingly not a particle of sand in it. Above the bed of gravel is a 9-foot stratum of tough blue clay. The water is soft, and the supply seems unfailing. Being near the pump, there is not the trouble in filling the stand-pipe that there has been. The water was struck Wednesday of last week, and the attachment made Friday. lUcevered a Part. Getting somewhat of a clue to the stolen goods, J. H. Galley, accompanied bv W. M. Cornelius, went to Silver Creek Wednesdsy, and brought home a dress coat, which had been sold for a dollar: a pair of bracelets; twenty-five rings, chain, etc. The goods were most ly at Banker Boasiter's, his young son havincr found a good portion of the jewelry. David Hill had found the two thieves at his house (they had sold the coat to his motherX and when he asked them how they got there and they answered him that they rode np to Gardner on the local, and that there they had been put off, he knew they were lying, because the agent at Duncan had told him that the local wouldn't stop at Gardner, and so he accused the fellows of steeling the things they ex hibited, which they strongly denied. But after that they seem to have be come frightened, and began to throw the things away along the river bank, and got out of the neighborhood. Mr. Hill wanted the marshal to arrest them, but he said there was no money in it for biavsad so didnt exert himself. Mr. Galley liberally rewarded those that passed him hie goods, on proof. Mr. Hill gave a complete description of the thieves, aad it is not unlikely that from tine the burglars and thieves may yet be apprehended and punished. sal Kstate Traaaffera.
