THh JLXAI4A" JtfJUJiJ : WEDNESDAY JFfoBRUAitt 16 , 1882 A Peculiar Poonio. L r mlc llommnp , Last September n minister who stopped at a holol in La Crosse , Wis cousin , lost Ijis pocket book , which ho had placed under his pillow nt night. AfowdftjsnRO the pocketbook was found on the floor mukr the bed where ho Imd slept. When n pockutbnok lies under n hotel bed five inotiths without boiug found , it shows how long n bed in Ln Crosse cnn stand without being swepl under. Wo stopped nt a La Crosse hote one nifiht in 1870 , and the chamber maid tried three ttmcs to forno an en trance into the room before 7 o'clock and fix it before breakfast. All that wo over saw n chamber maid do , except to culf the bell boys of the house , was to Btand with i broom in one hand and n slop bucku in the other , and kick the door where she know the occupant was neb up When the occupant gets up and goes away , the idea of sweeping the room and making the bed doca not occur U her again. Once in Salt Like wo had forgot ten to lock the door , and n whito-oyed maiden 40 years old walked in witl ; her inevitable utruscan slop jar , while wo were en dishabille , trying to jab u diamond * stud into the bosom of n clean shirt. Wo did all that any man could tl under the circumstances. We yollet a couple of times and crawled behind -a valise. When you arc cleaning your teetl : and have your mouth full of tooth' ' brush and soap , and cannot hold t conversation , the chambermaid oomos and opens the door and asks you if yoi want your room overhauled. Romance in Real Life. JoncphMcdlU in Chtca o IrlbuiiO. The heather bloomed gayly alonj the road-side ; the hum of insects niu the voices of birds filled the aurntne air. By the brook that rippled merrily rily down the mountain side stood i young man , tapping impatiently witl his cano a iiny foot that pooped ou from beneath his checkered pants Brushed carelessly away from hi white forehead were two sunnily-gold en locks , nnd n number live hat wa perched jauutily on the back of hi y head. 'Will she never come ! " ho muttered terod in low , earnest tones"neve come to heor the sweet words of levi that are waiting on my lips for her } ' A fish rose to the surface of tin brook , looked nt the young man , am wont away tired. "I will seek her,1 ho said ; but as ho turned to go a pair of gleamiiij arms were thrown around his necl and two rosy lips puckered up for t .kiss. .kiss."So "So you have como at lastf ho sail looking at her fondly. "Yes , " replied the nirl ; ' 'Birdie McMurtay uover breaks a promise , 'told ' mamma that she would have t hang out the dothcs herself to-day .although it nearly broke my heart t leave her at such a time. " ' 'Great heavens ! " said Roderigo t -himself - , ' 'I had forgotten that it wa Monday. " Caught In His Own Trap. L uUillc Chronicle. One of the most singular , and at the ' same time distressing accidents whic ! has boon chronicled for many a day took place in Buckeye gulch ycstur day , the victim being n minor living there and named Henry Sullivan Late .yesterday afternoon he was brought to the house of Dr. Smith who know him personally. Ho was a the time suifering from a severe cu on eauli side of his leg , near the ankle and a breakage of both the bones. An injury of this character , at this spot is an extremely serious ono , and al possible was done to relieve his pain How he .received the injury and how lie reached the city embody an ex ceedinglyanteresting fitory of fortitude Sullivan lives , as many other miners do , entirely alone , in a hitlo log cabir at the. head of the gulch. Among the tools and articles in his humble place of abode was a large steel trap , sucl ; as is used tii catching bears And heavj came. Its -shape , when open , wai oval , but when the spring was touchec two sots of cruel teeth came together , closing on whatever happened to bo ir irar.ge , bo it uuin or beast. The trap thad not been used for a long time , and stood open in a corner of tin .place. . Yesterday morning it occurrec to Sullivan that the trap might do AOCIO damage in that condition , ant accordingly ho [ lulled it out to the middle of the floor to close it up. In its long period of disuse the springs become rusty , and the working portions tions f it stuck together , refusing to .operate. Sullivan labored rwith it for .a time , and then becommi ; urgry. , ipickedtup a hatchet and began to ham- oner at it. Still the jaws refused to jflhut , nud without thinking of the icanaequecces , ho thrust his foot Against tlio lover and struck it again. At that inotant there waa n clash , and the tooth > rang shut , pinning him jusjt above dho anklo. The springe were of the wont powerful make , and there was no unloosing ttom when they had once caught. Sullivan , in Ins agony , foltWs very boaefl crack under tlio doati-Jiko grip , aad half fainted as ho sank to the floor. Then nerving himself for a desperate effort , he wrenched at the stout iron with both hands , but without loosoniqg it the fraction of au inch. Half an hour of pain and terror followed. * ud a. now idea occurred to him The trap was fastened at the bane with heavy Acrows bolted at either side. A -wrench lay within reach , and grasping jt with the strength of despoiation , ho nji.-tfoeded at length in unfastening t * , u. The steel bar dropped apart .and he was free. It iff wood less to enlarge upon his journey of a milo Aiid a half up the gulch , to the nearest ; house , and how ho wa > finally carried to ( his city. His injuries are of such a nature that ho may yet pos sibly sulfur the amputation of his fool. Sullivan is a i old Loadvillo man. Second Edition of Job. , OK < ICI > , N.

The plan has proved n success It has given universal satisfaction t the patrons of the paper , nnd has in creased the subscription list to a degree greo far above the expectations of it publishers. Many patrons of TUB DAILY Br.i have naked why we do not oiler then the same inducements held out to sub acribers of THK WKF.KI.Y BKK. In re spouse to the inquiry we make th following oll'or : Ench subscriber ( < Tin : DAILY BKK who pays his nrnm- of subscription and remits prepayment ment for six months and every now subscriber who remits pro-pavmen for six months will bo entitled to om of tlio premiums mentioned in ou list. Those premiums will bo dis tributcd in the same impartial manno which marked our first and second dia tributions. This scheme waa first do vised t collect subscriptions in arrears fron patrons of the Weekly BDE. Its sue cess exceeded our expectations. Wi have now no back collections on ou weekly edition , have established tin prepayment system , quadrupled ou circulation nnd correspondingly enhanced hancod the value of our ndvertiniii space. A number of subscribers t < the Daily BEE are now in arrears , am if by an extension of the same plai wo can induce them to pay the amoun duo us , wo can well afford to inak this liberal offer. By this means w hope to still further increase tholargi list of the Daily BEE , and having es tablished the prepayment system w < propose to maintain it , as wo are doin. with our Weekly edition. To those who ore not familiar witl our plan of distribution or the manno in which the premiums are secured b ; us wo append , the explanation mad to our Weekly subscribers , which ap plies equally to the subscribers of th Daily BEE. Two years ago the publishers of TH BEE devised a scheme for collecting b.tck pay from delinquent subscribers securing renewals and extending tin circulation of tins paper by a distri bution of valuable premiums. Th success of that experiment , both ii the collection of back pay and increasi of prepaid subscribers was so encouraging aging that the publishers vonturec upon the same system of premium dis tributions on a more extensive scale last year. It was demonstrated tha wo could better ailbrd to distribute tin money usually paid to agents , loca collectors and attorneys , directly t ( our patrons by offering them extra ordinary inducements to square ac counts and prepay for another year By this method , we have succeeded in two years in quadrupling the circula tion of TIIK WEEKLV BEE and extend ing its influence far beyond th boundaries , of this stato. During the first year only a portioi of the articles distributed were pro cured in exchange for advertising When the marked increase in circula tion became known to merchants am manufacturers last year they willingly placed their machinery and merchan disc at our disposal in paying for ad vertiiiag. That enabled us to do what seemed incredible namely , fur nish a metropolitan weekly for tw dollars a year and ive oursubscaibor premiums that aggregated in value $20,000. And yet it was a paying in vestment for us , and gave genera satisfaction to our parone. * What grow out ot a doturo to colloc back pay nan developed into a now and practical idea. Wo have discov ered that wo can afford to make ou ; subscribers sharers in the income o the paper from advertising. In other words wo can afford to divide the ad yertising patronage of the paper witl its subscribers , inasmuch as the income from advertising .grows with the in creased circulation. Advertising space in THE BEE that waa worth one hun dred dollars five years ago will com madd ono thousand dollars to-day This full more goods and machinery have boon ofj'erocl us in exchange foi advertising than wo could accept ii view of the limited space we devote for that purpose. What wo have con tracted for makes the grandest ant most varied list that has over been ollercd for distribution by any news paper and that too without paying u dollar in money. The only outlay in cash we expect to incur in connection with these premiums will bo for postage - ago and oxpressago. This explains exactly how wo procure our premiums and why wo can give away property else so much vuluo. All the premiums in our list ro worth at retail just what we represent theui. In contracting with manufuc turor * and wholesale dealers wo ac cept them only at wholesale rates , but that < IOOB not lessen their value to those who receive thorn. THE BEE has for years stood in the front rank of iiewspipers west of tlio Mississippi , ami to-day circulates more extensively than any paper west of Chicago and north of St. Louis , A argo number of eastern people who desire to procure u lar western p.iper , viih a view of acquiring reliable HI- bruiation about the resources and do- relopmont of the cumitry w at of the Missouri will doubtless Avail them- lolve * ol the opportunity now offered hem. Having for more * than ton 'cars boon under ono man- igomont pursuing n course Jiat haa established for it public con- idonco at homo and u wide reputation abroad , THE BKK could not nfl'urd to engage in any undertaking hat was not conducted fairly and hon estly. The distribution in J880 and 881 gave general Hatisfaction to our ubscribors. The coming distribution vill bo made in the same impartial nannor , by a committee whom the ubscnboM pifcuont may noloct from heir own number , and in such man ner as they think fair and equitable , hast year all the premiums gave good satisfaction , excepting some engrav ings which were not appreciated , This year no engravings , maps or pictures have bcon placed among the premi urns. urns.Our old patrons need no nssurano from us of the reliability and stability of THK MBK , uordo wonocd to inforn them that the principles it advocates and the fearless defense it makes ii behalf of the producers , makes it al most indisponsihlo to the industria classes of the great west. No intelligent person would expec that ovoiy subscriber will receive i ? ( ! 50 threshing mnchine , nSfiOO piano n S$00 ! $ harvester , or a § 150 organ but nil huve an equal chance in th distribution. Each subscriber that pays up his ar rears and prepay another y nr , am every now subscriber that remits prepayment payment for ono year , will receive r premium worth nt least One Dollar a retail. As a matter of fact , Tin OMAHA WBKKLY BKK is worth th subscription price , Two Dollars i year , to oveij * farmer , mechanic o merchant. "Without boasting , wo as sort that no weekly papcr ? east o west , can compare with it in variety and choice selections , general news interesting correspondence , and iu other paper in America contains much far western news , ranging fron the Pacific coast to the Misaisaipp river. With the proof of good faitl and honest dealing before them in th numerous acknowledgments wo pub lish , wo can safely enter upon our en larked undertaking ot this year , con fidently holieving th.it its success wil bo mutually satisfactory and ndvan tiigeous.

Now Mexico's Climate. Soil , Agriculture turo , Society , Etc. The greatest length of the torritorj from north to south is 391) miles , nut its greatest breadth from east to west 341 miles ; its area is 121,201 squan miles , or 77,508,040 acres. There ; roat diversity of climate , owing to iQoroncos in latitude and altitude between tweon different portions of the conn try. In the lower plateaux the summer mor dayn nro warm but not debilita ting , the nights are always cool am bracing ; the climate throughou the territory ia so mild am equable , combining drynofs witl purity , that many persons afflicted by pulmonary and other dis eaaee of a similar nature have tested i with marked benefit and frequontlj permanent cure. It is estimated tha thuro n i o in the Territory from 18 , 000,000 to 20,000,000 acres of arable land , or at least that much can bo brought under successful cultivatioi when a judicious system of irrigating canals and reservoirs shall have boei constructed. At present moro than throe-fourths of all the waters of the Territory run to waste. The soil o the valleys , throughout Now Mexico is a rich , sandy loam , light and per oua and of surprising fertility. Corn , wheat , oato and barley grow well ii all parts , the first named being a uta pie product. The cereals do best in the northern districts and elovatec plateaux ; c.un , vegetables and ol kinds of fruit do best in the val leys ; the valley of the Rio Grande del Norto is admirably adapted to grape culture ; and gr.ipes do well on the lower valley of the Pecos , nnd in many other part of the territory. Cabbages grow finely also onions am5 Irish potatoes an grown in the northern districts , where they yield enormously ; sweet potatoes are raised in the Mcsilla valley and ai Fort Stanton , on the Rio Bonito am Ruidoso , in Lincoln county ; beets , radishes , turnips , parsnips , nnd car rots grow well anywhere ; beans , peas and tobacco are also grown success fully ; poaches , pears and apricots do well from Bernalillo down , and on the Pecos from Anton Chico down ; mel ons of all kinds grow to largo proportions tions and of the most delicious flavor. The most valuable timber is pine , which is confined chiefly to the moun tain districts and the high rolling lands. Pitch , yellow and spruce va rieties , grow to a largo size and make excellent timber ; cotton wood , walnut , locust , box elder , and sugar tree are found along the streams and canyons of the mountains ; also live oak of small size , and a peculiar speciea of cedar , called in the territory "juni per ; " the nut pine , or pinion , is also abundant and furnishes good charcoal and fire-wood. The population of New Mexico has doubled in thirty years. At the time the United States acquired the country the native popu lation was about threo-fourths Mexican can , or Hispuno-Amoricans , and one- fourth Pueblo and other Indians , with a very few Germans , French and Americans. To these original ele ments have been added a considera ble number of Irish , Germans , Bel gians , French , Spanish and Ameri- ; ann. There are twelve counties. Education is in an indifferent condi tion. According to the most re cent reports there are about 200 church organizations of the lloman Catholics , and some twelve or fifteen organizations of other denominations. A Rocky Mountain Wonder.

Kent to xploro the HOW OUR BEST PREMIUMS , The following is n description of the most valuable premiums thnt niu to bo allotod to the patrons of TIIK HUB on March 4i THK O'llASK 1'IA.NO , which is the most valublo among our premiums , is from. the CIIAHF. PIANO COMPANY , of Hichniond , Indiana , This company 1ms the reputation of making the most durable instruments made in America , and for tone nnd tune their Pianos are second to none. Possessing line water power and a fac tory built with special refoieneo to the manufacturu of the best iiifltiutnentat tlio luixst possible cost , this company have advantages enjoyed by no eastern factory. Tlioy have near at li.ind in largo quantities the iinoat timber in the world , mid have an opportunity to make the first selection , and save' the high freights which must be paid by eastern manufacturers , and conse- ( luoiitly can furnish n better piano for tlio money than any other makers. The College of Music at Cincinnati , ono of the largest institutions of the kind in this cpuntiy , after trying the pianos of all tiio best makes discarded all others and are using only the CIIASK , and decided that it powefst d all the qualities neco sary to with stand the hardships of a genuine mus ical warfare. Tina speaks volumes in favor of these excellent instruments , the product of western enterprise and skill. All disinterested experts ad mit that these pianos are muile lioltur than those from any other factory and that the ) ' are the most ser\ic.iblo. The piano wo oiler is their tylo seven and for elegance of nppcainnco , beauty of tone and solidity of structure cannot bo ex celled. Parties who are not familiar with this niako of pianos would do well to write to the factory for an il lustrated catalogue. The other piano on our list is the same style and quality as the one wo gave last year , and will bo auprcciated by the party fortunate enough to receive - ceivo it. THKTHRKBHINO MACHINES. The first ono on the list is from Pitts t Son's celebrated factory , of Chicago , 111. , and has a reputation for good work over the whole country The Gold Medal Thresher is from the wi'il known firm of Ilohinson & Co , HicliMiotid liul. The Kobinson machine works were established in 1812 , and are ono ot the oldest thresh ing machine builders in the country. The machines of this firm are in use in every state from Maine to Oregon. Every farmer and dealer admits their superiority. Our contract with the Robinson machine works is for a complete - ploto thrcbhor ready to attach either horse or steam power , both of which they manufacture , nnd under our con tract they will furnish the party who receives this machine , either power at $50.00 less than their regular price. This discount to bo given ia addition to any cash or other discounts offered by the firm. THK SELF-BINDING HARVESTER. The reputation of the -Marsh har vesters is so well established that no special description of them is deemed necessary. Wo will only state that this is their latest improvement. This machine was on exhibition at the Ne braska state fair last September , and was admired by every ono , and the workings of it declared superior to that of any other harvester mado. T1IE LEW1H JIEADE1U This machine ) stands at the head of the header family and has met with most surprising success. The factory at Hastings , Nebraska is kept busy the year round , and the past year has not boon able to make enough to 611 all orders. These headers do moro work with less power than any other style of reaper , and with losa loss of grain than by any other mode of har vesting.
