To the Editor ol The Beo.
FHKMONT , Nob. , March 30. The
weather promises spring , and now lifo and
activity in every direction are visible.
The long winter has made itself felt in
many ways. Our merchants report dull
trade , our laborers but httlo work , and
our stockmen , that feed , especially hay ,
ia scarce , and that aoft corn and severe
weather have kept their stock from doing
so well as usual. This section of the state
moro than hold its own as n feeding
center. Vast numbers of cattle , sheep
and hogs have boon fed in Dodge county
this winter.
Trices for all fat stock have boon good.
Our farmers don't ask for anything bettor
than from five to six cents per pound for
their pork and boof. Thoao prices moan
fifty cents per bushel for their corn at
their homes , and at this price any average
farmer can soon become independent.
But prosperity begets extravagance ,
especially with pur fanners. No sooner
do their good prices got them out of debt ,
than they conclude they must have moro
machinery , moro land , moro stock , or a
desire to speculate takes possession of
them , and so when prices are highest
they again plunge into debt ,
a reaction takes place , hard times again
sot in , and they find themselves involved
and ombarassed and to extricate them
selves from debt , they go to soiling at
whatever prices they can got , and so in a
few months , or a year or two at most ,
they are flat on their backs and must
take a now start. These experiences ap
pear absolute necessities with many of
our poor farmers , before they know
enough to control their deals , and make
that auro and safe possession and inde
pendence that all of our ocst farmers
now havo.Vo have ample room for
first-class farmers from any of the older
states and are getting many of them.
They all do well hero.
They soon grow rich , either on rented
or purchased farms , by using the industry
and economy practiced in the older states.
CITY
This season will witness unusual
growth and prosperity in "tho prottiosl
town in the state. " Several largo busi
ness blocks will bo erected. Public im
provements of various kinds will bo com
menced. Naw railroad connections anc
outlets will bo given us. Many fine
dwellings and elegant residences will bo
added to our already long list.
I-OLITICH.
But Httlo excitement is yet visible in
our city politics. It will become moro
active now soon. Both parties expect
their share of the ofllcoa and spoils. In
this congressional district several would-
bo-congressmon are asking for rocogni
tion. It now looks that near a baker's
dozen of prominent statesmen can bo
found in this district , who would willing
ly relieve our Yal of his public pass ,
Dodge county expects to bo heard in this
congressional matter and desires hoi
sister counties to make haateslowly [ anc
over keep their political weather-cock ;
loaning toward her favorite son.
Oity election id the next thing on the
docket , and while very little interest was
manifested before the nominations , the
prospects are very promising for a louc
time on Tuesday next.
The democrats were unanimous in
their choice of John E. Shorvin for
mayor. Shorvin ia ono of the old whoo !
horses of democracy , and the hardes
man in that party to boat.
J. 0. Cloland , the present incumbon
of that pQico was renpminatcd by
the republicans. Last spring ho provcc
to bo a strong man , but during the las
year several little matters have uprun ;
up that will cause him a little oppositioi
in his own party. The trouble is about a
follows : John 0. Cloland , mayor , ap
pointed John 0. Cloland , chief of th
fire department at a salary of ono hundred
drod and fifty dollars per year.
On the return of the Fremont hos
team from the tournament atLincol :
last year , the Grand Island team accompanied
paniod them and stopped off to BOO the
"prettiest city in the west. " Lines wor
formed at the depot headed by the mayor
chief , who at oncn ordered a march upon
the city. The first halt was made a
the saloonef ] Manly Dudley , whore spjril
ran high and boor _ woa at a premium
The march was again taken up for th
distance of at least two hundred fool
whore another halt was called and th
invvdors entered single file into th
saloon of II. O. Matz , and the boo
ordered by the mayor chief. Now Joh
is no spring chicken , and while ho has
nolovofortho "Dutch , " yet ho know
that owing to the fact that that olemen
Is quite largo in Dodge county , ho mus
keep on the right side of them , fur Joh
is ambitious and aspires to Bomothin
great. Ho would like to servo the pee
Elo in the capacity of state senator on
o thinks the easiest woy to got votes i
to buy boor for the "Dutch. " You vri
observe that ho thinks them very cheap
The following saloons were then via
itod ; MoElroy's , Klefllo's , Bishop's
Elllngor's and Hammer's. By this tim
it is fair to Bay that the b'hoys were i
excellent condition to take in the city
and no doubt the Grand Island boy
went to their homes with a very goo
opinion of Fremont , but a still botto
ono of our jolly muyor-chiof and the ex
* cellent Budwoiser ho furnished.
A sort of state fair convention was
hold hero last fall , at which our mayor
chief presided. Several toasts wer
given , and the ono replied to by th
president was : "To Oswald Mueller
the jolliest brewer in too state. " Now
Mr. Muo'lor is a good citizen , but jus
what connection "Oswald Mueller , th
jolliest brewer in the state , " could hav
with the fire department "is ono of thos
things which no fellow can find out.
But wo heard a very prominent republican
can assert that this , too , vraa'a direct bi
for the "Dutch" voto. Now if Joh
thinks ho can buy the Germans wit
beer or anything olio , DO far as our cb
serration goes ho is very much mistaken
Another act which ho has been guilt
of , and is not regarded with favor by th
law-abiding citizens of our city , is goin
on the bonds of a party who is charge
with robbing a man of two or three hun
dred dollars , and who is not regarded Us <
a very respectable individual in othorj '
respects.

Then came the arrest of our worthy

lie arrest of several young hopefuls for

V Now MotliiMl < > ! ' rropcllliitf Street
Jn San Francisco there is in process of
construction a machine forrunning street
cars by moans of compressed air. The
dca haa boon broached before , but the
attempts to put it into mechanism failed
or varioun reasons , and now , it is said ,
his willsottlo all diflicultica. By the
now invention air is used at its lowest
ircaauro to accuro economy , or from 80
o 100 pounds per square inch. The ma-
chlnory will bo made light to lesson the
amount of dead weight carried. The
lilllculty of keeping up a constant uni
orm pressure within practical limits scorns
o bo removed by the now Invention. It
s proposed to erect nn air compressing
machine at each end of the rail way , which
rill Bond the air along a four inch pipe
main. The main will bo two foot below
ho surface of the ground , between tlio
up and down tracks. At every block , or
closer if desired , there will load from the
main to the contro of each track a branch
> ipo two inches in diameter , terminating
na valvo-chamber with a valve hold clos
ed by the pressure and spring. Above
, his chamber is an opening or slot in the
street pavement to allow easy access to
iliis branch pipo. On the car or dummy
, horoisacouploof smallstorago tanks , each
of thirty cubic feet capacity , sot under
.ho car scats out of sight. An engine
connects with the car wheels , and receives -
coivos its supply of motivojpowor from the
air tanks. Loading from ono of the stor-
igo tanks , both of which are connected
s a rubber hose , terminating in n nozzle
iko that of a fire lioso. A small valve is
placed in the end and kept closed by
spring. When the car stops for a pas-
longer the imginopr takes , down the
ioBO and inserts it in the slot or opening
; n the car track , and immediately two
valves , ono in the nozzle the other in the
branch pipe , are pressed apart and the
air flows in from the main into the stor
age tank on the car. It is calculated
that not more than six seconds will be
consumed in the operation , oven if the
tanks are empty and must bo completely
filled. When they are half full the time
will bn shorter.
The valves in the street are kept entirely
rely free from dirt and street drainage
by an ingenious arrangement , and are
easily accessible for repairing , oto. II
the main is damaged at any particular
point it is only necessary to shut oil Uu
part , that is out of order by a system o :
stop valves with which the main is sup
plied.
The idea was mentioned recently to
Dol. John JN. Straat , who is interested ir
the proposed cable road in this city , am
tie said that it might bo practicable. I
it should bo preyed so the cable road in
this city would utillizo it surely.

It requires 15,000,000 cows to supply
the demand for milk and its products ii
this country , according to an essay reac
before the Now York Farmers' Milk as
sociation. The capital invested in the
dairying business is over $2,000,000,000
It requires the cultivation of over 00,000 ,
000 acres of land to furnish food for the
above number of cows. Moro than 8200 ,
000,000 are invested in dairy machinery
and implements alono. The men em
ployed number 700,000 , and 1,009,000
horses are necessary. The cows am
horses consume annually 30,000,000 tons
of hay , 00,000,000 bushels of cornmea'
and the same amount of oatmeal , 275-
000,000 bushels of oats , 2,000,000 bushels
of bran and 30,000,000 bushels of corn ,
to say nothing of the brewery grains
and questionable food of various kinds
that is used all over the country. I
cost * $168,000,000 , or an average of $20
a month per capita. The annual yield of
the average cow is placed at 400 gallons' '
making the total milk product 0,750,000 , ,
gallons a year. The farmers' receipts foi
this milk , averaging it at twelve cents a
gallon , amounts to $810,000,000. Choose

Have also received from Mrs. S. H. H.
Clark a monthly order of two dollars for
rocorics , and the Irvington Benevolent
ocioty have sent fifty now garments and
our now comfortables , besides second
land clothing. Also clothing from BOV-
ral other friends.
Some of these garments have boon dis-
ributed through the rooms of the Aid as-
ociation , but most of it personally , as all
ilso has boon.
Any of the donors can know not only
nto what families their gifts have gone ,
ut just what the money has been spent
or.
or.I think there has boon moro call for
olp this winter than over before , during
ho five or six years I have been engaged
n the work. And certainly there has
icon more now families receiving help
omo who have recently como into town ,
nd others who have never before asked
or aid.
Ono of thcBO I found in a dingy room ,
ho air of which was poisoned by the
moke of the kerosene lamp , which they
roro obliged to keep constantly burning ,
as scarcely a ray of sunlight over pone-
rated its darkncaa , the only window bo
ng in the door , which opens
nto an enclosed hall. And
icro they had lived several days ,
without any fire , warmed only by u
himnoy from below. Ono can imagine
tow comfortable thin would bo likely to
coop a room in cold weather. I believe
heao people are not intemperate , nor
mrticularly improvident. They had been
mfortuuato , and merely needed tidings
jvor a rough place. They obtained work
tnmodiatcly afterwards , and have not
inco called for help ; while there are
many other families just as well able to
care for themselves who subsist upon
charity.
Whisky haa wrought its usual ruin.
uong the horrible deaths resulting from
t. is that of another woman , who used ,
wo believe , to move in good society , cul-
iured and refined. This drink is a ter
rible loveler.
A man who had several times boon ar
rested for abusing his family , has again
attacked his little girl , and holding her
mouth , knocked her head against a stove ,
cutting a severe gash , so that when sheet
; ot away from him and ran towards a
icighbor s she was covered with blood.
3an nothing bo done in such a case , until
nurdor , which is constantly threatened ,
s consummated ? A neighbor , thinking
.ho twenty days to which ho was son-
cnced too severe , came in to expostulate
with his wifo. lie said ho came "only
as a friend and a gentleman , because ho
enow a man was 'liable' to do things
vhon ho was drunk that ho would not il
10 were sober1' ; and ho proceeded to
prove it , after another polite apology , by
attempting to make his exit through a
window instead of the door.
A colored a light , nice boy was loft
with mo last fall. I had considerable
lifliculty in getting a suitable place for
him , but ho has at lost found a good
bomo , by adoption , in the family of a
colored minister.
I have listened to some very sad tales
recently. Ono young girl claimed to bo
the daughter of a professional gambler ,
and she seemed to tell a straight story ,
who died by violence , as such men are
prone | to do ; and within twenty-four
liours afterwards , the mother died by
suicide. Ono sister and a brother were
ilready following the father downward ,
but she and a younger sister , who were
loft penniless and utterly unaccustomed
to work , found employment , and for four
years have supported themselves , by hard ,
tionest labor. She came hero from the
east , but failed to moot the party she ex
pected. ' Sadly disappointed and having
exhausted her means , she was brought tome
mo , and sheltered for ono night in the
rooms of the \V. 0. A. A. , and then sent
back to her sister.
Another woman , whom wo had soon
ivnndering up and down , and back and
'ortli over our horribly dirty walks , car
rying a heavy boy _ of throe years , was
arought up here , is now at the rooms , but
has work engaged and wo believe is fully
capable of supporting herself and child.
An old lady of seventy-five , who has
several times mentioned in the
> tipcrs , vas brought up here to die ; away
'rom ' home and friends. She was most
undly cared for by the matrons , and
every want supplied. Though suffering
wuch , she was BO patient and thoughtful
of others that it was a pleasure to wait
MI her , and she won our hearts oven in
: \io \ two days she remained with us. We
md no thought of her going so soon , and
aa she was opposed to writing her chil
dren for fear of troubling them , wo did
not learn their address , but have ainco
written letters which wo hope will reach
tier friends that wo may soon hear from
them.
Some have said. "It is such a pity that
she should bo juried at the county farm,1
but I remember Ono who lay for three
days in a "borrowed tomb , " and hear a
voice proclaiming above her grave , "Tho
dead in Christ shall rise first , " and i !
she como up in that first resurrection , il
will matter little to her or friends
whether she slept in the "potters fielder
or on Prospect hill ,
My thanks are duo to the county com
missioners and Mr. Pierce , and all others
who have aided in the work.

Snakes bite a horse , and ho dies in a
few hours. A rattlesnake's bite has fre
quently proved fatal in three hours on
horeo-lleshj yet a hog will cat and grow
fat on snakes. Snme years ago there was
a valuable island near Milwaukee. The
Boil was rich , and the owner offered to
give it to any ono who would live there
aa the snakes wore so bad. A chap hav
ng a knowledge of natural hiitory got i
drove of hogs and dumped then
on the island. Though the snaket
bit the hog , this only ticklei
them ; they got BO fond of snakes tha
they d leave a corn field to root into a
snake hole , and now the fellow has a fin *
market garden on the island , and has
made an independent fortune. The
aland is aa clear of snakes as Ireland.
The ox and goat are both ruminating
nimals. Now , n bundle of laurel leaves
rill poison the ox , but the goat will oat
hem and grow fat. Man and the in-
ligenoua animals of Africa pay no moro
attention to the bite of the tsetse ily
han docs our ox to that of the gad fly ,
ot ita bite is fatal to all European ani

ThomasKinsolla , who oditodThoBrook-
yn Eagle , and who last week died and
was buried , lived a singular lifo , some of
ho strangest eccentricities of which have
lot como to light in the papers hereaway
His plucky fight for recognition ; his
climb from a common "case" of the typesetter -
setter in the pfllco through all the inter
mediate positions to that of editor-in-chief
and manager all this has boon dwelt on
but his matrimonial and theological
versatility the local papers have dropped
a veil over. Kitisolla was on Irishman ,
ind a Catholic , as was his first wife , who
bore him five daughters. All wont well
till ho fell in with the wife of a politician
and ofllco-holdor of local celebrity , known
as Tom Fields. Of her ho became deeply
enamoured , and after-a short courtship ,
is it wore , divorces were obtained , at his
instigation , all around , and Mr. Kinsolla
md Mrs. Fields were dully married by
Henry Ward Boochor. Fields brought
suit against Kinsolla for alienating the
afioctions of his wife and won the suit ,
the jury awarding him $50,000. Ho
declared that ho didn't want the money
[ or himself , but wanted to deposit it in
the name of his erring spouse , for her to
use whenever her new admirer should
desert her. This ho did , and the § 50 ,
100 has been on interest over since till
last week. * *
Mr. Kinsolla'a daughters abandoned
him and followed tho'misfortunes of their
cast-off mother , while ho and "Mrs.
Fields-Kinsella , " as she has always boon
called in Brooklyn , took a high-priced
pew in Mr. Beochor's church , of which
they became members. This all happened
some years ago , and Mr. Kinsella was an
ardent supporter of the great Plymouth
pastor during his trials.
When Mr. Kinsolla was brought face
to face with death in his last illness ho
sent for Mr. Beocher , who came and
prayed with him and talked with him ,
but it did not seem to "go to the spot , "
ho said. The old menaces of the lifo to
come which had been instilled into him
by the Catholic church when a child rose
imperatively before him. Ho was afraid
to die , and ho admitted it.
His latest wife guarded his haunted
bedside , but ho induced some friend to
carry a note to a Catholic priest with
whom ho was well acquainted. The priest
came but could not got in. Mrs. "Fields" .
Kinsolla aasurred him that if she wanted
him aho would send for him , but that at
present his services were surporlluous.
Ho retreated reluctantly , was again sum
moned and boldly made his way to the
sick man's bedside. Kinsplln wanted con
fession , communion , baptism and the ritoi
of the Catholic church. The caller tolc
him ho could not be buried as a Catholic ,
except by speedy repentance of his sins
especially the sin of putting away his
wife and marrying another. Hn was ir
mortal agony and mortal fear. He sail
ho would do as ho was told. Under tin
urgency of his spiritual advisor ho callec
Mrs. "Fiolds"-KinBolla into the room am
formally discarded her , and ordered her
to pack up and leave , and then his former
wife was recalled to his bedside. The
will was changed. This is the strange
story told and generally believed. I sup
pose it is correct. And now the first wife
who shared with him the hardship of his
early struggles and her daughters wil !
inherit his great wealth , and Mrs.
"Fields"-Kinsela ! has already , it is said ,
drawn from the bank the § 50,000 obtain
ed from Kinsolla. But if he had lived
wonder who would have been his wife ?
