OVER THE HILLS ,
The Siifals at the County Poor
House ,
Few ( Jlianccn for Improvement.
There haa boon various talk from time
to tlmo about the county farm , and the
management of the poor house. In or
der ta BOO for himself how matters ap
peared there , the BKR man on Saturday
took n trip out to the farm , and got
such facts as a hurrlod Inspection of the
place wonld'soouro. The first thing to
attract the attention of the visitor was
the cleanliness of the grounds , the yard
being raked off and no litter being In
Ight. The oxtorlorof [ the houao had evi
dently received care , and there appearing
nothing on the outaldo with which to
find fault , the unofficial inspector started
for the houao Itself , quite confident and
half hoping that on the Inside at It-tvat
something would bo revealed which would
bo In keeping with aorao of the talk
hoard. On the porch of the houao ,
sunning themselves , were aittlng the old
man and his aged wife , the old man
blind , and the old woman feeble , both
homeless and penniless. It waa a tad
picture to ono Imagining what a change
bad doubtless come to thorn since they
vroro In their primo. Sadder yet did it seem
when the fact was learned that the old ,
blind man had two brothers , both living
r * > ' , In the western part of this state , and
both well off , and having an abundance
to share with their unfortunate brother.
The old man gave his name as Losh , and
on talking with him the BEK man learned
that ho was as happy at ono could bo in
bis condition. IIo said ho was treated
very kindly and hid no reason to com
plain of the management. His wlfo cor
roborated tills statement , and the sgod
couple were left to continue their
Banning , while the BEK man entered
the house to nose nronnd there.
Mr. Ennix and hla wife , who have
charge of the place , were very cordial
and willing that all parts of the houao
nhould bo Inspected at will. The BEE
man was agreeably surprised to find that
calmness prevailed to an extent not com
mon in such places. The floors were
ecrabbod nntll they fairly ehono , and
everything about the place indicated carp ,
oven If luxury was lacking. A visit was
made to the sleeping rooms , and those
were also found to bo clean and as com
fortable as they could bo in such a build
ing. The house is a plain frame build
ing , and the partitions are of the thin
nea'c , cheapest sort , and In the severe ,
cold weather , It mutt bo almost im
possible to keep the rooms warm.
tTho building is a shell , and
in case of a fire starting , It
would take but a few minutes to reduce
it to ashes. Inquiry revealed the fdct
that thuro was no soil cf fire protection.
It scorned that the least the county could
do would ba to pat in a force pump ,
there bfiing a good well from which to
draw a supply. The dt'fjcts of the build
Ing are , however , mst'urs for which the
county , rather than the superintendent
Is responsible.
The beds nnd bedding appeared to ba
comfortable , and in fact bettor than what
Is found in m ny private houco3. Thera
are nine rooms on the second ibor , anil
an there- are not more than that number
of inmates , the accommodations are
ample. An Inspection of the outbuilding
showed that the simo good care was be
Ing taken of them. Several of the in
mates vroro questioned aside as to thol
treatment , and they all seemed well sat
lafiod ot the care given them. No com
plaints were made about the food , either ,
The old man , Nick Kern , whoso tad
blatory was given in TUB BEE some tlm
ago , was fonnd nervously pacing his room
Ho has just got back from Omaha , where
bo wont on a search for his wayward
wlfo. The Omiha authorities sent him
out to the poorhouao , but ho remained
only ono night , and waa glad to get back
bero. The old man la getting quite
blind , and his mind is fulling fast. He
mourns continually for his wife , and 1
more still for his little daughter , who Is
somewhere with her mother ,
A German girl , Anna , an unfortunate ,
reckless young woman , is annng those
now at the house. Her little babe , born
there as the child of shame and poverty ,
has died , and the girl , now getting in
good health again , begins to got unoisy ,
and wants to get into the city Bgiln ,
saying , "there ia moro fun thereIt
scorns that her sad cxporlonco has prof
ited her little.
Ono pitiable case is that of a young
woman , whoso husband was killed on the
railway at Kearney. She is anx
iously awaiting for some tiding from her
brother , named Mathany , whoso addresi
she does not know. She has written to
Malvorn , where ho nscd to work In a
pocking houso. hoping that the loiter
might bo forwarded to him , and ho might
thus learn of her condition , and coino to
her relief.
A boy , the only ouo among the Inmates ,
attracted the attention of the visitors.
Ho was about nine yeors old , and it was
learned from him that ho never boon to
school a day In his life. The boy was fir
from attractive in appearance , his head
being a mass of sores , but his replica to
iiuettions showed that bis mind was very
keen and. bright. The matron said ho
was getting well fist a few days aga , when
the medicine had given out and the doc
tor had provided nonosinco. This Boomed
a neglect that ought to bo seen to at ouo
by aomu ono. The boy's history was to the
ell'i'ct that hla mother was dead , and his
father married again , and they were (
making thelrhomo at Woodbine , when
this second mother run away. Soon
after this his father , who was a railroad
man , got a job on a construction train
running out of here , and coming hero hla
father put him Into St. Joseph's hospital
In Omahi to get his head treated. Ho
atayod In the hospital five months during
which his father visited him once only ,
and ho bnsi not seen or hoard of him
aino. A short time ago the priest ,
learning that the boy belonged here
rather thin there , brought him over ,
and ho was taken to tho' poor farm. It [ t
aoemsj th t If the bny could bo given hall
chance in the world ho
a , could make a
useful citizen He seems contented ,
however , anil little realizes the poor atari
ho Is getting In life's race ,
The iror t lack to be teen in the cir <
of these dependents la clothing. Thi
boy referred to is needing clothoi t <
make him comfortable , and ono littli
baba that Is out there is in a pitiable am
filthy condition , on account of a lack o
necessary changes.
As whole the BEE man w s hsppilj
surprised to find the poor of the count ;
being so well cired frr , especially in vie ) !
of the reports to the contrary , and lie
neglect that characterized the treatment
of the Inmates of the pcathonso. It is
no oaay taak to keep some of the inmates
clean , for aside Irom their natural In
clinations some of thorn are sick , or In
their second childhood , or nearly blind ,
and are worao than children. Under
these circumstances it seems that mat
ters t ro being handled far batter than In
moat places of thia kind ,

About 1 o'clock yesterday morning an
alarm of fire waa caused by the discovery
of flames at the old house lately occupied
by Molllo Wallace , but which now stands
ompty. The building JWAJ on fire the
night bcforo , but little damage was done.
This tlmo the scorch was a little
moro severe , oil having boon
spread on the outside of the building to
start the blaze brisker. Whllo the boys
were out putting down the blaze , some
thief got into tbo Bluff City onglno
honso and stole $12 irom the pocket of
Jcaao Walters' vest. There were In the
honso at the same tlmo throe silver
watches , but these wore either overlooked
or the thief feared to take them lest their
identification should cause him to got
into the penitentiary.

A DllEAM VERIFIED.
The Creston Independent American
vouches for the following : List Tuesday
evening as ono of the editors of the
American sat in the Summit house of this
city , in conversation with Mr. James M ,
Harrison , dotootlvo and claim adjuster of
the 0. B. it Q , the conversation turning
upon the late railroad dlsastornear Crom
well , iu which seven persona lost tholr
lives , Mr. Harrison laid : "Mr. D. , I
saw that accident in all its horrible de
tails In a dream the night previous
to ita occnrranco. The smashup
cccnrrod on Sunday. On aris
ing that morning at homo , in Ojcoola , I
told my wife of my dream , that I felt
great apprehension that the disaster
would happen to that particular train.
In the dream I scorned to bo aboard of
the train for awhile , but not on at the
time of the wracking of the cars , and
yet I helped to t.xtrlcato the dead and
wounded from the dobrli. Early that
d y I received a lolegram from my
superiors ordering mo to take that par
ticular train and proceed to some point
in the western piit of the state. ( The
writer does not now remember the placo. )
"My wife seriously objected to my going ,
and 1 confess that it was with the great
est rcluclanco that I obeyed orders. All
the way from Osccola to Creston I was In
mortal dread , expecting every moment
the accident I felt euro was Impending.
I waa to stop at Creston and sio Superin
tendent Duggan for a few moments , and
then go on westward. I did stop , and
by an unavoidable and fortunate
delay Mr. Dnggan and I were
both left by the train. In less than
half an hour the train was wrecked just
as I had aeon It in my vision , and I was
soon on the ground assisting as I dreamed
I would do. So definite was my dream
that between Oaccola and Creaton I went
through the cars aud recognized the pas-
congers whom I saw in my vision deader
or wounded. I did not mention it to
anyone on the train , for I know
juit how Incredulous moat people
are about inch things. " Mr. Har
rioon eays that ho has sovera'
times during his life had rcmarkabl *
visions , which were verified in every de
tail. A few years ago , when jailor o :
Clarke county , ho had a dream that an
attempt would bo made by the five pris
oners to break out of the jail the nox
night , and in thia dream all the detail ,
were laid bare to him. The attempt was
made , and the dream waa correct in over ;

not denied you in these days. Has not
the throne of the Stoux , which recently
became vacant , boon conferred on an
American journalist , a certain Mr. Stan
ley Huntley ? This lucky monarch , has ,
it Is said , already given orders to a well-
known London firm to construct special1)-
for himself a throne of unique design ,
whllo ho has also ordered from the eamo
homo a crown , icopter , and regalia nil
complete. As aoon as these are ready ,
hii majesty will bo duly Installed nndor
the mollilluous lltloof W nPoyllWan -
Khan. Ho has already Issued a procla
mation to the United States government ,
in which ho expresses the hope that they
will continue to recognize the Independ
ence of the Indians , and refrain from
molesting them. This ia something like
promotion. Wo moy wollloavo peerages

The English billion a million millions
has sot Sir floury Bessinor to calculat
ing. Ho reckons that a billion seconds
luvo net elapsed since the world began ,
as they would reckon 31,078 years , 1 ?

A chain of a billion sovereigns would pats
730 times around the globe , or lying side
by sldo , each In contact with its neighbor ,
would form about the earth a golden
zone twenty-six feet six Inches wide.
Thia same chain were it stretched out
straight , would make a line a fraction
over 18,328,445 miles in oxtont. For
measuring height. Sir Henry chose for a
unit a Binglo sheet of paper of about ono
throe hundred and thirty-third of an
inch in thickness. A billion of thoao
thin sheets , pressed out flat and piled
vertlcrlly upon each other , would attain
an altitude of 47i348 miles.
