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.

"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

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.

A LIBERAL OFFER :
For the past two years the publishers
ors of this paper have given to th
subscribers of THK WKEKI/V Bur the
best line of premiums as inducement
to subscription which have over beet
offered by any newspaper in the conn
try. 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. E. KOSKWATBK ,

THE TRIUMPHANT TERRITORY.
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.

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.

workings of it declared superior to
that of any other harvester mado.
T1IE LEW1H JIEADE1U

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

611 all orders. These headers do moro
work with less power than any other
style of reaper , and with losa loss of
