THE CATTLE CROP.
The Ontlook on the Eaugos Not
So Very Bad ,
No Serious Danger at ProBont
Apprehended.
A good deal has been written and
published lately concerning the condi
tion of cattle on the ranges west of us ,
reports being qulto cotradlotory ,
Master Mechanic J. U , McOonnoll ,
c.f the eastern division of the Union
Pacifn , and agent of the land depart

man.Mr. . McDonnell concludes : "From
ill information I have boon able to
gather the outlook is not dlscouragibg.
On the Niobrara range in northern
Nobratka , where there are over ono
hnndaod thousand cattle , It is reported
that there is not ever two or three in
ches cf snow , and cattle are in good
condition and able to procure plenty of
grass.
In southwestern Nebraska , along
tha Colorado line , there la considerable
mow , and cuttle are crowding along
the track of the Union Pacific , Den
ver Short line , and quite a number are
being killed by the cars , but none as
yet nave died fr m effects of the
weather. )
The Danver News of February 4
says : "Tho barometer does not Indi
cate a recurrence cf breezes , and it Is
probable that before there ia a change
a ctuit will have formed all ever the
snow ever which the wind will elide
as unavalllngly as waterovor , a duck's
back. The cattle n'ro getting hungry ,
and with brute instinct are turning
toward the south. If they travel fast
enough they may reach grass , bit
loitering as they probably will , many
will lie down and dlo of starvation and
oold. Tire years ago some stockmen
lost aa high as CO per cent , and the
bones of the hmlshod herds vroro
gnawed by cayotes from Cheyenne to
'control Kansas. It will hardly bo as
bad thia ycar , though the patRengers
on all Wfi lines loading Into Denver
from th Joast will BOO carcasses strewn
along the track In a way suggestive of
that season's record.
"Yesterday Immense droves of c it-
tie , estimated at 10,000 , passed south
ward throe miles east ot the , city.
They were moving steadily , though in
ntraggllng herds , and looked almost
like a marshaled bovine boat following
their leaders to food and water. It le
not aafo to say from how far north
these cattle came , but. they will not
otop , unless from exhaustion , nntll
the Arkansas is reached , and then thoj
will bo Bafo.
"Among the cattle owners in thli
city there ia much uneasiness , but ai
ono of them observed last night ;
"Thoro Is no nao to frot.l : The in *
stinot of the buffalo always took birr
to grass , and the satno Instinct is jusl
as marked in the domestic animal ,
The outlo that potsod yesterday won
certainly from some distance , because
those nonr Denver are on ranges on <
olcsad by substantial fences.
"Mr. Molllhinny , a prominent cat
tie man , is now in the city and wai
seen last night In regard to the aspec1
of affairs. Ho Is not inclined to take
n gloomy view , not having hoaid fron
the north whsro the prospects are it
decidedly bad. Ho said that In thi
Bonthorn portion of the state , arounc
Trinidad and Pueblo , the snoar wa
not heavy , and whore it had fallen thi
n wind had boon sufficient to cloa
p enough sutf.ico to tfford crazing. I
d cattle further north oonld only got t
t this locality they would bo all right
but there war danger that they wuuli
s'art too late , Ho thought that thot
waa nothing very Improbable lu th
pasBiog Bouth of 10,000 cattle , as the ;
vrould go to grass where there was an
possibility of it. They were morel ;
hunting food and did not move froc
that prcBontmont with which som
dumb brutes rush from cold to mor
congenial climes.
, "A passenger on the Bnrllngto
& Missouri , which came in last evenIng
Ing , reports the range ia good eon
ditlon beyond Uogo. At Hug
there la about six inches of snow a
dead level. The cattle wandc
aimlessly and woauily about , strnf
gllng ultimately to the south. A
the rain approaches Denver the sno'
is deeper , but still on a level , pr <
Bontlng a dreary , impenetrable BUI
face to the shivering herds.
"An rndeavor was made to obtai
sorno reliable estimate of probabl
losses , but no ono would vontui
ono , It being Impossible to kno
how long the enow will stay or tl
fovoiity of the weather continu
But it will bo heavy enough to su
the verdict croaker. "

1HEGLEE CLUB
Approaching Annual Grand Concert.
For weeks ; past the popular local or
ganization known as the Omaha Glee
Olnb , has been making preparations
for the annnal grand concert to take
place Tuesday evening next , Febru
ary 13th.
In addition to the musical talent
Included within its own membership ,
the club engaged the serviced
o ? MlM Jennie Dntton , the
noted Chicago eoprana singer , and
Mils Emma Mabollo , the famous con'
tralto who.mtde inch a hit at the Into

with the celebrated Iowa pianist Mias
MattieL Brooknor.
The club has been In constant re
hearsal for eotno time past and Is in
excellent training end condition for
the entertainment.
A BBK reporter who dropped in on
them at their rehearsal last night
at Hoapo'a hall was surprised
as the result of their work , and sel
dom has ever heard twenty male
voices which blended moro hnrmoni
ously. As will bo soon from the ap
pended programme , the varlona num
bers of the ctncert are ohoecn from the
master authors , and no two from the
oamo ono. It promises a rare treat to
lovers of good music , and those who
hoard the ntlrring campaign songs of
1880 will not need to bo told that the
club can awaken all the latent onthu-
sltsm In a man'o nature and charm an
audience for hours at a time. The

JUDGE BENEKE.
Hla Injury More Serious Than at Firat
Supposed.
The many friends of Police Judge
Beneko will regret to learn that his
fall Wednesday Injured him mora
seriously than was at firat supposed.
He was just returning to the court
room after dinner and tell on the slip
pery and uneven crossing at Thir
teenth and Farnam. He supposed ho
had only sprained his ankle , but Dr.
Grossman being called In in the even
ing It was discovered that it was a frac
ture instead of n iprain.
The limb will bo put up in piaster
Paris , and it is thought that his honor
will bo able , by taking a hack , to get
out attain by next Monday and deal
out justice as usual. Fortunately the
city Is very quiet at present , and the
demands for his presence not BO press
ing as they have been.

CONCERNING COIN.
A Flood of Counterfeit Quarter a
of 1877 ,
The No if IBBUO of 'Fivo Oont
Pieoep.
For noma das put it has boon no
ticed that nti unusually largo Dumber
of now and bright quarter dollar sil-
ror coins worn la circulation , the ma
jorlty , If not all of thorn , bearing the
date " 1 77. " A banker yesterday
put a BEK reporter on the racket by
tolling Lin that these coins worn couu >
terfeit. They are out in largo quan-
titles and nro very deceptive ,
and would fool mviy good judder.
They differ in weight from the genuine
quarter , but BO slightly as to ba gen
erally unnoticed by any but an expert ,
The ring Af the Cola even purer
than the true coin , probably having
glaos among its conatltuont parts.
A HEW OOIK.
The five csnt pieces of the now design
sign will snon bo in circulation here ,
the Philadelphia mint having already
turned out 102,400 to bo followed
aonn by another instalment.
The old iive cent nickel was Issued
under act of congress approved May
16 , 18GG , and made the weight of five
grammes and the diameter two centl
motors ,
This was the first attempt in the
history of our coining to proscribe by
law the diameter of a coin. This had
always been left to the direction of the
mint officials ; whoso judgment could
bo better trusted than that of con
grcssmon , who of necessity have but
llttlo export skill or knowledge on
such subjects.
Tno result of this attempt was the
issue of a coin without duo proportion
tion of thickness to dlamotcr with
out sonority or ring , and devoid of
beauty.
The object of this unusual legisla
tion was an attempt on the part of tbo
advocates of the metric system to
make' coin useful in educating the
public to a knowledge and acceptance
of the metric system in our dally
transactions. The attempt to eduoato
by legislation has proved a signal fail
ure. Aa the lair had to allow of a di
vergence cf two grains above and below
low the proscribed standard , it was
inaccurate and unreliable as a weight ;
and as the diameter , of the coin tould
not bo made uniform , owing to a
want of uniform ductility of the nicklo-
copper alloy , it was obviously no
standard to use as a measure.
The dovicra on the coin wcro also
unartlatlc. The shield on the obverse
was made so largo aa to crowd the
other work and compel the nae of
very small figures in the date and a
very narrow border around the peri
phery of the piece. The motto "In
God Wo Trust , " above the shield , was
forced BO near the edge of the coin as
to ezclto 'apprehensions that it would
not bo able to hold its place.
To remove these defects , and also to
make the inscription and devices con-
foua to the requirements of the coin-
agwlct of 1873 , and to good typo , Col
onel Hnowden , superintendent of the
mint , prepared and submitted to the
secretary of the treasury , a coin of In-
creasad diameter and new device * , in
scriptions , etp.
The coin is twonty.ono millimetre
in diameter. On the obverse is a
classical head of Liberty , with the in
scription "Liberty" on the tiara , and
the date below , and all onrronndod by
thirteen stars. On the reverse of the
coin is the Roman numerical , Indlcat
ing thp denomination of the coin , inr-
rounded by a beautifully arranged
wreath composed of cotton , wheat and
corn , products of the country , and a ! !
surrounded by the inscriptions ,
"United State * of America" and
"E Pluribus Utium. "
The coin is a gro.it improvement or
ils predecessor , and is beautiful in ilt
design and execution , and refleoti
credit npon the taste and tkill of thi
officers of the mint.
A TJJEFUL BOOK.
Tbo County Treasurer's Last Enter
prise.
A BEE reporter was ycstordaj
shown a now and useful book proparec
under the supervision of Oounty Troae
nrer Rush.
It is doslgnod to be a completeCnan
clal history of Doc pi as county , and I
will contain its fiscalrecord , for fift ;
yean. It is fifty folios in elza and'ii
it will bo recorded the annual statement
mont of the county treasurer each year
as It was published this year in Tm
BEK. By looking at it over ;
transaction in the county treasure * '
office from the first up to the preson
time can readily bo seen.
The records of Douglas count ;
while yet in a territory are rsthe
mixed hnd the records incomplete thi
first acourato annnal statement bolui
that dated in 1807. From that dat
down there will bo no trouble in keep
ing up the thread of county account
and the book cannot but prove extremely
tremoly nsoful to the author and al
his successors In office.
ROLLER SKATING.
Splendid Rlnlc and a Brllllan
Season.
Considerable interest has beei
excited for the past few days in rollo
akating by the fine exhibitions give ;
to largo crowds at the opera house.
It will bo news ( and good now * ) t
everybody to learn that Omaha is t

sou will bo opened by a grand rccoj.
tlon next Monday evening.
The manager of this enterprise I
Mr. J. G. Llghtford , who has dotei
mtued upon Introducing into thin clt
this elegant and healthful mode of 03
orciso , roller skating , and to catablls
npon high moral grounds an agrooab ]
and unexceptionable place of roaoi
for safe and pleasant recreation. B [

the art of roller skating with refine )
and elevated surroundings , and wl
not , under any circumstances , adm

elves Improperly.
Mr. Lightiord has scoured the mo
elegant quarters imaginable , having
rented Orounso hall , in thsnoir Mil
waukee brick block , corner of Six

The hall IR the l r oit in the city ,

tircly and a epiclnion seen by the re
porter shows un in fine style. It is

Another heavy landslide occurred a
week ago last Monday in the north

extra work.
For a few days it has beoen impos
