It pays to raise alfalfa. A Kearney man last year cleared $1,448 from twenty two acres and a Lexington man $1,825 from forty acres. A farkek in the southern part of the state announces a very favorable profit on last year's crop of corn, his 2,490 bashels netting him $771.90. David Mercer, ex-conressman from the Omaha district, has been frequently mentioned of late as the probable suc cessor to Mr. Merriam as director of the census, at Washington. The omnibus public buildings bill finally passed through the house, at Washington carrying the much discussed items appropriating $10,000 for building sites at each of the cities of York and Grand Island. At Council Bluffs, Iowa, one day last week, Edward Madsen, a 13-year-old boy, was electrocuted by a live wire at the top of a 40-foot electric light pole. He fell from the pole after touching the wire and his head . was crushed and neck broken. According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer somebody has figured out that Adelina Patti will receive during her American tour 33.47 for each note she atters and $2.50 every time she breathes and the paper adds "Wouldn't that make yon short-winded?" The arrival of aliens in America the past twelve months was greater than any other year, the immigration bureau of the Western Passenger association plac ing the number at 551,509. In the dis tribution among the various states of these immigrants Nebraska is credited with having received 1,789. On the 8th inst. Mrs. Amelia Shoeman went to Plattsmouth determined to bring a breach of promise Bait against Charles Gaebel for $5,000 damages for slighted affections and wounded feelings, bat after consulting an attorney and others she finally accepted $1,000 and signed papers releasing him from his promise to marry her. He is 70 years of age and she is GO. Monday's Omaha Bee says: "Toe gen eral committee of the conductors and trainmen of the Union Pacific road closed .their conference with President Burt yesterday. It is reported that the con ductors and trainmen, who made a de mand for 20 per cent increase in wages, were successful. This report is not veri fied, however, by those who have been in attendance upon the sessions and who maintain strict secrecy regarding the work consummated behind the closed doors of the conference room." An explosion of gasoline paint at the paint room of the Hall Bros.' hardware store in Lincoln Saturday seriously in jared John Moore, a teamster for the firm, and did considerable damage to the room and stock. Just how the explo sion occurred is not known, but the general theory of those who first found Moore after the explosion, was that he was pouring from a large keg a paint Bsed in japanning tinware. This paint is chiefly composed of gasoline or a gas eous oil of the same general character, and explodes easily and with terrific force when ignited. Ernest Hcsshak, the Leavitt sugar factory employe, who disappeared last November, has been located at Creeton, this county, where he is working as a farm handl The identification came aboat mb resalt of Sheriff Banman of Fremont sanding a photograph to a Creeton man,vrhq:reported that he be lieved he had located Hassman. When Heeaman first disappeared ;t was thoaght he had been murdered for his money, but a Scribner saloonkeeper put this theory aside a month later by proving that the missing man had been in his place of business in December. Hnss au has a wife who is said to waat a divorce and alimony, and some of his friends think that he wants to avoid her. Two Lincoln business men are plan to erect a large factory for the afacture of artificial stone which composed chiefly of cement that is mixed and allowed to "set" in "forms" or boxes. The action of the air and elements only hardens the compound until after years the hardness of the natural granite is attained. Scientists believe that the Pyramids' were formed from some such material and bo explain the eternal hard aeas of the stone sad the war these immense squares were put in place, the theory being that they were mixed aad allowed to "set" on the spot The arti feisl stone, according to baildiag men, can be sold almost as cheaply as brick. If it is purchased in quantities in a regu lar pattern, say two cubic feet square, it caa be sold as cheaply as the better grades of brick and much .cheaper than evea poor, building stone.. The great advantage is that the stone can ia say color or shape. 'Whea aad other ingredients are beiag bit of color can be added and the granite, the white and yello eayx, the red of the sandstone, of the New Hampshire granite or hej dall watte of common rock may be pre- "dseiy isutated.

The people of Nebraska have lost more than half a aullaia dollars throagh the Bartley embesilement.?The larger part oftitosamaasasvecbeWaccoaalediofr. Part of it has doabUiss' beea lost; in gambling and speculation, but a larger part was either represents by & O. Us. u that famous cigar box, or by invest meats in mines and real estate, or by private aocoant in anknown depositories. Whea Bartley was paroled the people were givea to understand by Governor Savage that the parole would be justified by restitation. Bartley, himself, has timeaad again asserted that he proposed to payback every dollar the state lost while he was treaearer. Bartley has been at liberty for more than a year, but not a dollar has yet been repaid ont of the contents of the cigar box. It is up to the legislature to make a searching investigation and exert all-its inflaenee to bring about restitution of at least part of the money the state has lost The resolation calling for an investiga tion should be pushed through the hones without division and a vigorous effort aboald be made to bring about the recovery of whatever is left in the bands of Bartley or his confederates, whoever they may be. Omaha Bee. Lineal letter. (Special ConcapoadeBce.) The pest week has been a busy one with the legislature, in spite of the fact that the new revenue bill has not come up for regular discussion. Pending the printing of the bill, which is a long job, one of the typewritten copies was turned over to the regular revenue committee of the bouse for consideration. The print ed bills being now ready, a lively discus sion on the floor of the house is expected this week. Up to the present time the principal objection to the terms of the new bill comes from stock feeders who want the property ownership date changed from February 1 to March 1, frankly acknowl edging that the early date will catch them before they have disposed of a con siderable part of their property. There is also some little objection to the county assessor system, and one or two members favor the election of the deputy assessors. Some members of the regular revenue committee suggest that the county assessor should be permitted to appoint the deputies without the confirmation of the county commissioners. It is gener ally believed, however, that the bill if it is passed will be in practically its orig inal form. The telephone hearings and investiga tions have been continued during the week, but it is hard to tell what real progress has been .made. The bill per mitting independent companies to estab lish toll stations in the large cities has at last reached the general file, and will soon come up for discussion in com mittee of the whole. The agitation over the elevator bills has quieted down after the hearings be fore the committees, and the bill has gone to the general file, with an amend ment added by the standing committee that the new elevators must have cost at least $3,000 before they can compel the building of a side track. Both sides seem to be fairly well satisfied with this compromise. There has been some discussion during the week over the Burgess printing bill, and a number of publishers of country newspapers have been in to protest against it Their argument is that it is not in the interest of the country print era, but on the contrary would do them harm. The hearings have brought out the fact that there is some spite work between city printers involved in the movement to pass the bill. There are bow three bills in for the reduction in the number of judicial dis tricts, differing slightly in the make-up of some of the districts. The intention of each is to cut down the expense in this department by lopping off a number of judges and reporters. A bill is in the senate for the appoint ment of a state accountant at a salary of $2,000 a year, whose duty it will be to oversee the systems of book keeping in the various state departments and insti tutions, and provide for uniformity. Heretofore there has been an entire lack of system in some of the institutions, and without doubt the state has lost much money because of lax methods. Another senate bill is No. 202, requir ing school oncers to file an estimate of expenses for the coming year, and mak ing it illegal to use money for purposes other than named in the estimate. The bill is calculated to stop extravagance and misappropriation of funds. The inevitable joint resolution asking for the dismissal of the suits against the Bartley bondsmen has been presented, and without doubt will provoke much discussion. The bondsmen sgree to pay the costs of suit if they are released from paying the judgments. Such a release would enable those of them who have their property covered up to begin to operate again in their own names. aaathe A traveler stopped at a little cabin la the Georgia woods. He wore a white rose oa his coat, one that a little girl had plucked aad pinned there as he was leaving home. woman entered the cabin. She stood and gased at the rose a moment Then, darting forward, she tore It from the stranger's coat aad stamped it on the rude floor. "Why did you do thatl" asked the stranger, leaping to his feet. "Hush!" said a man who was sitting near. That's my wife, aa'-an'-sae ain't right here," tapping his forehead. "We had a' little girl once with Woe eyes an hair kike a sunset. She wan dered on among the roses one day, lost; i when we found her she was the rosea grow, an' they was creeptn' ever her, an the wife there went mad. an now- she says the roses stole the child an' hid her away from as forever, an she goes about an tram ples them.
