BLOOMIKGTOX , Franklin Co. , Neb. ,
December 23. For almost ten years I
have been closely identified with the
interests ui Nebraska , watching her
splendid itfejurces , noting faithfully
her drawback ? , end rejoicing ia her
prosperity. Thia is my firat viait in
this remarkable valley , having como
here in perhaps the darkest hour of
its history. Permit me to throw out
come facts and thoughts regardingher
present and fatuie.
It ia always well to see a land in ito
very worst and then see if there ia
anything r.orth having. I ouppoee
there is ccnaiderable tuffering among

them in HUB erudition.

Oh the grant prairie where this town
is planted you will arc eomo of thu

there will bo seanonswhen aome of the
most wonderful cropa which ever bur-

Inborer. f heso years of plenty should
bo mE.do to lap cn-er on the ycers of
want. Even now , at the very lowest
ebb , thtire comes into Ihoje towns im
menae loads of corn , the surplus of Iho
poorest crop known. As all over the.
west , so here , "Corn iskinc ; . "
Only a Email portion of the country
is under cultivation , and yet the ex
ports of bstf and pork are consider
able. When the courage of the farm
er , rialng above every difficulty , will
induce him to stay with the country ,
and take it for better or for worse ,
i success is euro to follow. Meat farm-

shiftless vagabond who ei-.ts tobacco
by the ton , who is too Irz ; to do any
thing but grumble , who has no con
science , and wouldn't know how to
use it if ho had.
The Republican valley has been
wonderfully tniarepiteented by this
class of men , and this section has
been greatly injured by them. Men
will compel their families to live in
dug-outs or sod houses year after
year ; everything owned by them it at
the lowest ebb of vitality , and they
are continually cursing the country.
Too indolent to breath without help ,
utterly unreliable , too lazy to be
honest , and thus year by year their
families live in the greatest discomfort
and the lowest poverty , when through
iho winter months and through the
spare days of the summer and fell , .
they might die out , from those vast
quarries of magnesia lme rock , ma
terial for comfortable homes and
bimi. Yet nothing is done. Men
who do not like to work lire cro&t
talkers. They make a great racket ,
and fill the air with murmura of ruin
and disaster. A drouth ia & blessing ,
inasmuch as It sifts the country and
leavss tbo best.
Mon of moans will soon como in
here , streams of wealth will pour out.
These sheltered apota.cool springs and
clear streams trill give fine facilities
for dairy products , and this , with
stock raising , will ensure competence.
Here let mo speak of crops which
should be raised in connection with

I think the sugar beet can be made
to average in this valley from sixty to
one hundred bushels per acre. They

The 'hoppers generally do not disturb
them. Hogs arc-very fond of them ,
and they can be wintered almost en
tirely on them. Cattle can be fatted
on them alone , and an acre of beets

Tills valley has not suffered in tha

SLUGGED AND" SUICIDED.
The Last Two Deaths by
Violence in Douglas.
County.
Bmil Hoya in His Laet Role.
The first death which has occurred
In the new Harnoy street jail was
that of a suicide at fiva o'clock Satur
day morning , The man who thus
rashly took hU own life waa Emil
Hoya , who at the last terra of the
United States court in this city was
sentenced to six months in the county
jail and § 500 fine for personating a
revenue officer and collecting SO as
hush money for an alleged violation of
the revenue laws. Hoya was an in
telligent , good looking man , about
thirty-five years of ago , had been
married , but lost hia wife , and bed
one child , a boy , of whom he waa
very fond.
It appears that for some time past
Hoya has been taking medicine for an
ailment , a email dose of morphine be
ing furnished him daily by hia physi
cian , Dr. Tildon. Out cf these doaea
he saved a small portion daily until
ho accumulated sufficient to make a
fatal dose. Thia he took just befote
going to bad Friday night , in the pre
sence of a fellow prisoner named Heed.
He shaved and dragged himself with
care , sayinc ho always made such pre
parations for Christmas , and finally
having repeated with Reed the Lord's
prayer , made a few affectionate re
marks about hia boy and said gcod
night , he went to sloop.
The next his companion know cf
him was when about 3 a. m. , ho was
awakened by hia groans and loud
breathing. He was unable to make
him awake or speak , and called the
jailer , Mr. Joe Miller. The latter
sent for Sheriff Guy , and having
carried him out of the cell a physician
was sent' for , who tried with
out succeaa to administer
an antidote for the poison ,
which it waa evident the priaoner had
taken. After remaining unconscious
until about 5 o'clock , the unfortunate
man expired. A couple of letters ,
written in pencil , one to Sheriff Guy
and the other to Hon. Geo. W. Doane ,
hia counsel , showed that the suicide
wai a deliberate one. The former was
aa follows :
Mr. George Gny !
DEAR SIR Excuse mo for the rash
act. Please have my corpjo laid in
an Iron casket , rieaao uoii i h ro my

EMIL HOYA.
The remains were taken to Coroner
Jacobs' and telegrams sent to the
frienda of the deceased in Milwaukee
notifying them of the aad occurrence
and asking for orders as to the diapo-
aition of tbo remains. A coroners in
quest was deemed unnecessary. It is
said that ho attempted suicide once
before , after the arrest on the charge
for which ho was incarcerated ,
THE DOWERS INQUEST.
The inquest in tbo cno of Germanic
Bowers , who died on Thursday after
noon laat from the effect of injuries
received at the hands of Lorenzo
Pickard , took place on Saturday at
the residence of E. H. Kirby , in
Millaru precinct. Coroner Jacobs
was attended to the inquest by Deputy
Sheriff Grebe , and Messrs. Hedick
and Smytne , .ho latter representing
the ctate in the prosecution and the
former counsel for young Pickard.
A jury waa chosen , consisting
of Cyrus Morton , foreman , David
Reed , James O'Brien , H. H. Kirby ,
Wm. Neligh and A. W. Decker , and a
careful peat mortem made by Drs.
Coffman , Conkling , Grossman and
Linyori. The peat mortem revealed
the fact that the skull had been frac
tured in three places , juat above the
loft eye.
M. E. Woeley , 0. J. Pickard , Ben
Michael and Samuel Bower wcro ex
amined as wUnessw , and the fp.cta de
tailed In our last hauo wvra rep < ated
in aubntance , with few additions.
Pickard'a cousin , Burns , who noti
fied him when Bower leJt for home ,
and who , with a drawn revolver , af
ter the blow had been atruck demand
ed fair play , and chased Boweru"
into thehou'c , is likely toba held as
an accessory to the murder , and the
officers were looking for him on Sat
urday.
It did not appear what the instru
ment which waa hurled at Bower with
anch deadly effect waa. It waa dark ,
and Pickard waa seen to stoop to the
ground and pick something up which
he threw at Bowera , felling him to
the ground. The testimony waa
an&inst the prisoner , although it ia not
of course to be presumed that the
young man bad any intention of com
mitting a murder. He waa , from the
evidence , intoxicated during the
evening and probably in the same
condition when the fatal blow waa
struck.
The jury found the following ver
dict :
"That the aald Germany Bower
came to hia death on December 23 ,
1 80 , by injuries to hia head , received
on the morning of December lorh ,
1880. Said injuries were caused by

A St. I'oteraburg correspondent says :
In spite of all that haa been done
during the paat eighteen months to
Improve the condition of the univer
sities and to conciliate the better class
of students , unpleasant symptoms are
again showing themselves in the col
lege at Kazin. The students nave
been holding illegal meetings and
drawing up petitions , proceedings
which are contrary to 'the statutes of
the univeraity. The authority of the
professors has been openly reaiated ,
and disturbances appear probable.
The condition of numerous individuals
placed under police supervision and
banished to remote parts of the em
pire for politic il offenses haa been
greatly ameliorated by the care of
Gen. Melicoff. In the hoapitiblo gov
ernment of Archangel , however , to
which numbers of thee suapccUd of
polittc.il delinquency have been trann
ported , much severity appea-a to be
exrsrcioed by a new governor by the
name of Kapior. The unfortunate
craaturea who are baniahed from their
frienda and occupations , generally find
themsetvoi without means of subsis
tence in the deserted districts where
they are placed. Thia fact ia rec
ognized by the government and a
trifling allowance ia generally made to
enable them to obtain the bare neces
sities of life. A aum of twenty-five
roubles is aho allowed for the pur
chase of clothing in a climate where
rigor demands especially warm gar
ments. The now governor has
stopped the allowance for food , and in
lieu of twop.ty-five roubles tor cloth
ing , he has distributed wretched old
second-hand garments , which are ut
terly unfit to resist the terrible cold of
the north. Compbinta have reached
the central authorities here , and steps
are likely to bo taken to mitigate the
mitcryot the unfortunate wretches. It
