Phiu Armour, the Chicago millionaire packer, is at Pasadena, California, and has announced that he will make that his future home. Advices from White Oaks, New Mex ico, report many thousands of head of stock frozen stiff and two men caught in the snow storm of the 9th. Ix passing upon the bankruptcy status of the Omaha Exposition company, Judge Munger ruled that its unpaid employes are preferred creditors. Quite a number of cattle have died near May wood from the blackleg. Most of the cattle are now being vaccinated in the hope of checking the ailment. The New York Central railroad com- any have four tracks and keep them all well occupied. Every road that does much business should have at least two tracks. The demand for small notes still con tinues beyond all precedent at the United States treasury at Washington and the demand will be promptly met by print ing $300,000 additional in fives and tens. Pbobablt the greatest peach orchard in the world is at Benton Harbor, Mich igan, and owned by Roland Morrill. It consists of 100 acres, and the last season marketed about 12,000 bushels of peaches, bringing $25,000. It is said that the sale of children in India by starving parents is becoming common. Abandoned children are found with frequency. It is a famine of water as well as food. Cattle are dying off by thousands and no rain is expected until June. The assets of the North Platte Nation al bank sold as follows: Bills receivable 4J per cent of the face value; miscel laneous notes, same; bonds 35 per cent; real estate 13 per cent; judgments 1 per cent, and the furniture and fixtures 21 percent. Senator Am.es has introduced a bill to pension all honorably discharged sol diers and sailors of the late civil war; also bills to prohibit the over-capitalization of railroads and to authorize the creditors of insolvent national banks to elect receivers. Da. L. J. FoBXEr, a prominent physi cian at Cherokee, Kansas, who commit ted suicide Wednesday, left a note in his office saying: "I had rather leap into the unknown than longer endure what I know." But he will doubtless "endure to know" all the same. The dwelling of Joseph Pulitzer, pro prietor of the New York World, destroyed by fire Tuesday of last week, was valued, with contents lost, at $300,000. The housekeeper, Mrs. Jellett, and the gover ness, Miss Elizabeth Montgomery lost their lives by suffocation. Ox Christmas day 20,000 poor people were given a warm dinner by the Salva tion army. Three thousand others were supplied with dinners sent in baskets and several thousand were turned away hungry because the supply of food gave out. Omaha World-Herald. A hypnotist show was stopped at Sutton; a lady passing by was very much frightened at the sight of a member of the troupe in the show window of a drug store supposed to be hypnotized for a forty-eight hour limit. The sleeper was ordered aroused and removed from the window as a nuisance to the public. President McKinley's demand for a written guarantee from all the govern ments concerned that the Chinese ports which have passed under foreign control shall be opened to the trade of all nations on the same terms has been agreed to. Another international tri umph for the republican party. Madi son Chronicle. . It seems to a great many people that senatorial curtesy needs a long period of quarantine and a goodly quantity of dis infectant. In saying which the World Herald of Omaha, while expressing a sentiment of very general acceptance daring a long period of time, is not specilc in informing its readers of the occasion of its utterance. Snt Charles Dilke blames his gov ernment for not granting an interview with Queen Victoria to President Krager, when be was last in England, he having come to England for the special purpose of talking over matters of mutual interest Sir Charles also gives expression to the high praise of Krager by the late Prince Bismarck. Couxty Attorxey Hunger described the imbecility of the present law govern ing county treasurers very concisely, when be told Treasurer McLaughlin that to deposit the county funds in a bank that was not a county depository would be embezzlement, while there being no eoaaty depositories in Lancaster, and isnt likely to be because the banks would not pay interest on county funds, be could not deposit any money in any bank and be free from danger. Mon keying with these things in the legisla ture always leads to grief. Because one year then is a great rush for county aoaey aad interest is offered in compe tititra for it, is no sign that any bank wiS pay iaterest on it the next year.

During the year 1899 just closed therewaa, filed, jatbe county clerk's office 515 real estate mortgages, aggregating $505,531.31 Dur ing the same time 768 real estatd mortgages were released, amounting to $706,969.19. By this it will be seen that Platte county alone reduced its mortgage indebtedness 8201,437.88. Daring" the year' only eight mortgages in foreclosure were filed. If Platte county may be taken as a basis to figure from the indebtedness of the state has been reduced several millions of dollars. IXXXXXX first can be obtained by energy, honesty !

C, and Howard Builer, of Philadelphia, were sent to prison to serve sentences imposed on them for having violated the law regarding the sale of oleomargarine. Wilkins was recently sentenced to imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of $1,500 and Butler to four months' imprison ment and a fine of $500. Wilkins and Butler were wholesale dealers in oleo margarine in Philadelphia. The case is of national importance, as Wilkins and Butler are the first to be sent to prison for violating the national oleomargarine laws. Other dealers convicted of selling oleomargarine as genuine butter have succeeded in getting off with the pay ment of fines. rWHWWwHHllHHUIlaUWMIIlim r1 S Sam Our old friend W. H. Ashby of Beat rice is out in the Omaha World-Herald of January 9, in a 3-column article under the title, "Question as to the Power of Congress to Deny Free Coinage of Sil ver," which he closes thuB: "Let Colo rado and Nebraska waste no time in fruitless efforts to get silver coined, upon the ground that it is 'money of the con stitution.' 'Silver' is not 'money' at all, more than zinc or tin. The constitution does not compel the coinage of a silver owner's silver any more than it compels the coinage of the gold owner's gold or the zinc owner's zinc These metallists, both mono and bi, need to learn some thing of the nature of money." On this point, Mr. Ashby purposes enlightening his fellow-citizens shortly in a book. That part of the democratic press of the state which permits itself to use, advertisements and all, the copious mat ter sent out by the "reform press bureau" must feel a bit sheepish when it realizes how neatly it is being "worked" for the benefit of a dozen or two expert salary grabbers and junketers under the guise of reformers. Editors who cannot get a mile of transportation for themselves, or credit for a night's lodging at a Twin City hotel, cheerfully yield advertising space to pay for the board, lodging and traveling expenses of the "bureau." And the "bureau" smiles at the success of his game and devoutly thanks God that "a sucker is born every minute." St. Paul Dispatch. HllllimtrH!lllllim XbMtioital ffotfil. MmilHIlimHIIinilHHIIIIIIIIIBlWnMlrW Richland and Vicinity. Richland was well represented at the Cornwell sale last Thursday. A Ladies' Aid society of the Bichland M. E.church has been recently organized. Girls, have you seen how lonesome Fred. Miller looks in his pretty new buggy? Al. Butler of Columbnswos here Wed nesday and Thursday running the corn sheller for his brother Walter. What is the use of going to California or the south to spend the winter when we are having such beautiful weather here? The hum of the corn-sheller is heard in every direction. Some are selling their corn and getting 21c, while others are holding theirs expecting 25c per bnsbel. We understand John Smith has pur chased the threshing outfit with straw blowing attachment of Cornwell Bros, and will be ready to wait on bis fellow farmers at the next threshing season. Mr. Cornwell and family expect to move to Tennessee, having changed their mind about going to California since receiving a letter from his daughter of southern California who advised him not to come. Miss Lizzie Haney entertained a com pany of her young friends last Thursday night at the home of her parents 24 miles south of Richland. Games and music were indulged in and a bountiful supper prepared, to which fifteen couples did justice; and oh, such goodies! A royal good time was had by alL Maturalization Laws. Seeing that Senator George C. Perkins had introduced a billon the subject, our townsman, L Glnck, wrote him making suggestion of certain features to incorpo rate into his bill. He received a prompt reply thanking him for his letter and adding: "I am in accord with the ideas you have expressed, and will present your views to the Com mittee on Immigration, who have the matter under consideration. I herewith inclose a copy of the bill, and trust you will feel free to write at any time, giving inn Tnnr viavra nnnn tU onk'iiif " The bill is lengthy, its main provisions being that the declaration to become a citizen of the United States shall be made five years at least prior to the application for admission; a continuous, five years' residence in the United States and other requirements as to moral char acter, obedience to the laws, attachment to the principles of the constitution of the United States, etc.; any alien of twenty-one years and upward, who has enlisted, or may enlist in the army of the United States, eta, may be admitted, upon his petition, without any previous declaration of his intention, proving one year's residence here. One of Mr. Gluck's suggestions was that notice of the application for citi zen's papers be published four consecu tive weeks in a newspaper having the largest circulation in the county, asking that objection or remonstrance be filed, if any there be, a provision which may possibly become a portion of the law.

A child thus defines gossip: "It's when nobody don't do nothing, and somebody goes and tells it." Thiers' death was caused by apoplexy. He was ex-President of France, and his death regarded as a national calamity. Henry Carrig reported the wheat in his neighborhood that had been threshed as going twenty-five bushels to the acre.

Among many losses, $500 paid to James Yerigg of Merrick county was the highest sum paid. Harry Arnold caught a pickerel which weighed eight pounds and measured 36 inches in length. Our small lakes fed from springs io this vicinity are getting a fine quality of fish from those put into the streams by A. J. Arnold. Lockner & Uhlig carried a large dis play advertisement in The Jourxax and in many issues attractive "locals" setting forth the value of their goods.

The patent medicine folks were just as cute then as now, one advertisement be ginning: "The first object in life with the American people is to get rich; the second, how to regain good health. The ment in the progress your children will make. The Journal, in those days, had a small menagerie of curious animals, wan dering waits, found in each instance, at the door of a local newspaper. A half column of space is taken August 15, 1877, to their description, and where they were caught. We briefly refer to them: A quadruped turkey was captured at the office of the Polk County Homesteader; from the Madison Review, a pair of twin oxen, one of them five and the other six years old; a splendid colt which the Grand Island Times s.;i.l bad been raised by Ed. Arnold, and declared it was two thirds Hambletonian; the Columbus Era took the premium with a horse weighing 12,000 pounds. The editor took two days south with Uncle Sam's mail carrier, H. H.

Fred Paup met with a serious loss Tuesday. His entile got to a straw stack only a few minutes, but they got enough mustard seed to do the work. In a short time seven head died. He said the stomach had but little in it, hut the seed adhered to the wall of the stomach, like a lining, which Eeemed to act like a mus tard plaster. Latham Davis, of the Adsit ranch west of Petersburg, had a close call Friday night. He came home from Omaha, where he had been with cattle, late at night and turned into bed. By some unaccountable freak, known only to base burners, his stove emitted gas sufficient to so stupefy him that he was very hard to waken in the morning. Only a short time more would have done the work. CASTOR I A For Infant and Children.

Drinnin says that the condi tion of winter wheat baffles the amateur. On the 12th and 13th of August the ground got thoroughly soaked with rain, and all ground that was plowed and har rowed for about ten days after, made a good seed-bed for the wheat, but that which was plowed later never did make a good seed-bed, because it would not pulverize. The consequence was the seed planted in the former, came up in a few days and made t good stand, while the seed that was planted on the late plowing never did all come up from among the dry lumps, and although the soil got u good wetting on the 8th and 9th of December, we cannot see more than half a stand on the late plowing yet, and what the result will be in the spring can only be told by a professor. There is one thing sure, about half the wheat sown is a good stand and will make a crop. 3 he famous Col. Alexander Hoag land, who has been heard in addresses in this city, is the originator of the cur few law iu this country; he is president of the Boys and Girls' National Home and Employment Agency, and is now in Chicago working in the interest of the law. He says: "Apart from its senti mental feature, the curfew law helps the cities in which it is in forco from a mon etary point of view. It costB nothing to enforce the law, which provides for the ringing of the curfew at 8 o'clock in the evening from October until March and at 0 o'clock during all the other months. Children under fifteen, with the excep tion of those who go to night school, must stay off the streets after the bell has tolled. Six years ago I began the agitation in Lincoln, Nebraska, and since then my plan has been put in forco in 400 towns in tho United States. It is a law in many of the large western cities and an eastern organization will begin soon to agitate the matter in that part of the country. I have letters from the officials of some of the cities where the law is in force, showing that crime among the youth of the population has decreas ed 80 per cent since the rule went into effect. To keep the children off the streets has aleo a tendency to reduce truancy in schools." When yon wish good, neat, clean handsome work done in the lino of printing, call at TnK Journal office.
