TIRE'S LINCOLN tltflllUC.I Thu supreme court yesterday handrd down n number of decisions In cases brought before it , an nb.straot of Hie opinions Iwiug given to the public , nml which follow. One of these opinions is in the case of Mitchell vs. the City of riattsinouth for damages from a defec tive-sidewalk. The court below at the hearing of this case gave Mitchell judg ment against the city for $1,000 damages. From tills finding thu city appealed , and on a hearing in the supreme court the de cision of the lower court was alllrmed , tlieoplnioninthcca.se being written by Justice Keose. This opinion is presented quite complete , ami cites several points In the line of corporate negligence and conlrlbutary negligence not before passed upon. It will bo good reading and n salutary lesson to a goodly number of Nebraska towns thiU maintain wretched bidowalks and ways , and will add to the strict construc tion of the law heretofore made In cases of similar nature. One of the other opin ions handed down , rendered by Chief Justice Maxwell , relates to lliu forfeiture of lease rental in .school hind leases , anil holds that a forfeiture is not revoked by failure to pay on thu exact day named in the contract , but absolute good faith is required and In case of ( lellniiuency the statute limit after duo notice has born given of delinquency holds good. The court yesterday was engaged in the fur ther hearing of appeals in Third district cases , the attorneys from Omaha having the lloor. Following are the DECISIONS nui : > . Uicliardson v. Pratt. Appeal from Otoo conntv. Allirmed Opinion by Max well , Ch. J. 1. One S. purchased certain school lands in 180 ! ) , paying therefore onu-teiitli of the purchase price and interest to tlio following January. In 1870 hu sold ami assigned'tho receipt or ccrtilloatc. The interest was paid on tlio laud for the years 1870 ami 1871. Default having been made in the pavinont of the interest for the years 1872 , 1873 , 1871 and 1875 , the treasurer of Otoo county , in which the land is situated , caused a notice to bo published in a newspaper of that county Hutting forth the facts of such delin quency and requiring the removal there of by the fullillmunt of the covenants , etc. , within thirty days. Held , the pur chaser being absent from the state , that siien notice was sulUcicnt. State v. Scott , 17 INob. , 080. 2. While the failure to pay the interest on school land contracts on the day it becomes - comes due does not work a forfeiture of the contract , yet the law requires coed faith on the part of the purchaser and a iailnroto pay such interest within the limo required by stotuto after notice of biiuh delinquency , will bar the rights of the party. Alexander vs Iiwin. Appeal from Otoo county. Alllrmud ; opinion By House , J. 1. Tlio act of 1885 , icquiriiig abstracts of cases ir the supreme court to be made , requires biieli abstract to bo so made as to sot forth so much of the case as is nec essary to n lull uudorstaudhig of all ques tions presented to the court lor decision , and. so far as the examination of the cnso by thu coiirt is concerned , is to taku tlio place of the transcript and bill of excep tions. The court does not look beyond the abstract. All parts of the same omit ted therefrom are treated as not in the case. Ballard vs Cheney , 20 , N. W. H. , 587. ! ) . All presumptions are in favor of the regularity of the proceedings of the dis trict court , Error is never presumed. I'lnUsmouth vs Mitchell , error fiem Cass county , niihmcd ; opinion by Itccse , J. 1. Before a city or other municipal cor poration will bo liable for injuries caused by n defective sidewalk , it must be shown that the city by its ollieers had notice of the defect , or that such defect had existed BO long anil under such circumstances as 1o raise the presumption of knowledge. But whore a portion of a sidewalk is in bad condition by reason of loose boards and dcfoctivo construction , itisuot neces sary that the city or its ollieers should have notice that the particular board which caused the injury was looso. Notice of tlio general bad condition of thu walk at tliat jilacu will bo hold sulttoicnt. 2. In an action for damages resulting from personal injuries caused by the alleged negligence of the defendant , thu nnestion ot contributory negligence on thu part of plaintill'k ) , ordinarily , ono of fact for the jury to determine under proper instructions from the court. 8 , Where a sidewalk is constructed on a public street or thoroughfare in n city by an abutting property owner without any direction or order by the officers of such city , tliu fact of such construction by the property owner without authority , would not relieve the city from liability for damages to persons injured tiiorcon without lault , if after the construction of n such walk , the city assumed jurisdiction over it ami ordered repairs to bo made prior to thu accident. 4. Nor coulit such city bo released from liability even though it did not assuuio nitoli jurisdiction , if tlio walk WHS in a public street in constant use and In a line of other sidewalks constructed by direction , of th j'city or over which , had control.

This brilliant sohomi is the procuring and disbursing of photo graphs of Senator Van Wyok's Washing ton residence , and if any parties arount through the state will let themselves JO known us avowed enemies of the scnato willing to stoop to any kind of work t < compass his defeat , they can secure thcs photographs in this city , nnd after seem injj them they will bo expected Urcall tii gulhiblo to one side and show it to them A Lincoln republican , not a follower c the senator himself , was heard to rcm a r that such a method of procedure was en tirely in keening with the reckless me thods adopted , and it Is evident that the promoters of the scheme hope by adopting the stale pl.ins of u former Min nesota campaign to accomplish their ends. The sidelong irlanprs that the BKK ripro. entntlvconitghl of ono of these picture - ture showed that the senator hail a very comfortable homo in Washington just such a ono as can be seen in the rcsitfcnt part of Omaha and which any frugal man of ability can secure by linn ! work.

A lively runaway sped down the prln cipnl street of the city yesterday nfter- 10011 , the team being followed as rapidly as possible by an excited farmer whoso iroperty they were. The last obsorvn- , ! on taken showed no damage of a sen ous nature from the escape. There are several new cases in course of development that give promisn of some Interesting disclosures , but as the warrants have not yet been issued their exact status Is yet unknown. Police court went light to well as usual yesterday , only a few cases coming up "or hearing. Several gamblers were ar- nigncd and lined , one taking an nppuai that was granted with $170 bonds. The question of lighting the city foi the coming year is tlio topic of discussion .imong the city fathers , the present elec tric light system not being satisfactory to them. Nothing at a-11 has been done yet that has the certainty of change. AT TUB IIOTKIJ" " . Yesterday were registered among others the following Ncbraskans : Brunc T/.hchuck , 1) . II.

FfHNAS , Secretary Nebraska Slate Board of Agri culture. Soli Needs to UB Keel. Ex-iovernor ( K. W. Furnns , out ; of the best posted agriculturists in the state , says : "While 1 believe the soil peculiar to the great slope , reaching from the Rocky Mountains to tlio Missouri river , will continue to reward the intelligent husbandman with crop yield in abund ance , and longer without perceptible diminution than almost any other , tlio Creator never made the soil that would not depreciate and eventually wear out without proper recuperative efforts on thu part of the tiller. To expect other wise would bo to ask Him to set aside His fixed laws to accommodate nn already bountifully provided section of the country. Wo mny as reasonably ex pect that from n single bank deposit might bo drawn forever without replen ishing. In plain parlance , soil needs to bo fed , same as cattle and hogif like results are sought to be obtained. " UlueOr.iHS in the AVesr. Professor Bessoy , of Nebraska , writing to the American Agriculturist of grasses in the west , says : A careful study of the problem upon the ground shows that Kentucky blue grass can bo well grown uion the soil of the plains. In the vicin ity of tlio old forts , where many years ago the United States troops were sta tioned , Kentucky blue grass has been growing lor n long timo. The seeds scattered from the hay used for feeding the horses germinated aud took root upon the unbroken prairie sod , and in time ac lually crowded out the wild grasses. The hint thus accidentally given has been acted upon , ami to-day there are many line blue crass pastures upon giound which has never felt the plowshare. Timothy thrives upon the soil of the plains , and fields of it may bo seen every year in eastern Nebraska , which rival nnv ever seen in the oast. It is now fast replacing tlio wild grasses for hay. On the lowlands bordering the Pintle river timothy furnishes a perennial pasture , which endures the treading of cattle al most as well as blue grass itsult. It is now known , moreover , that timothy will produce sued of superior quality in gre it abundance , indicating very strongly its complete adaptation to the climate aud soil. HlntH anil StiKCCBtlons. Haul theahocksof fodder to the barn , nnd do not allow them to bo exposed to the weather all the winter. A cup of limo water in the milk fed to calves is said to be an excellent prevent ive of scours and bowel diseases. The decayed branches of old _ trees should bo promptly removed. Their un sightliness is the least of their evils. Tuberose bulbs showing buds at tlio cud of the month may bo lifted carefully and made to dower in the house later on. A first-class salt should bo pure white in color , clean , comparatively dry , uni form in grain , and quite soluble in water. Kye if sown now will grow , nnd , as il is hardy , will furnish early green looil before the grass makes its appearance in the spring. If every farmer who cuts down a tree will plant a j-oung one in its place the result will bo a constant supply of tim ber and fuel as well as a profit. Now Is the time to got the roads it good condition for winter. It will be u saving of time and labor when the rains nml frosts nro so injurious to travel. Sheep will cnt more , bo more contented nnd thrive belter on n new than un old range. Frequent change of range for Ihcm is important nt this season of the year. Ashes spreatl over the beds of straw berries nt the rate of 100 bushels per acre will increase the quantity , improve the quality and Intensify the color. They may bo sown broadcast at any time. Canning fruit may bo expedited by do- ing.as much work In that respect as pos sible at ono lime. There is more labor in getting ready and making preparation than in canning and scnling. This is the season for hatcliinc out the buntnms if you dosiro.thom small in si//j. The latter the better , prqvidcd they cnn bo raised , as the object should be to dwarf them in size as much ns possible , It has boon d 'l0nstratcil that the nnanhiy oi meat produced by sheep do- livercU'to Jlio butcher at the precocious asoof'from ' nine to Jifjeon.months epsts exactly half the expense 01 u'.s9 ctl lo double the age. A resident of ( JpYumbia , S. C. , has gone into the cultivation of the sunllower on n large senlo , He has several uores planted with diflorcnt varieties of the fiowor , ami expects within a short time to bo able to supply the southern market with the pro duct. The seed makes splendid food for poultry , and horses and cattle nro quite fond of it. As soon ns all thu work of the bees is over , ami the weather becomes coolplace the hives in a uhcd , under u dry roof , where the winds cannot reach them , The bees should not bo kept in too warm a location at first , but as soon as winter comes on they should have a room or cellar of an oven temperature. After the loaves of currants have dropped , trim the plants , thinning fully halt of the now growth. If ono cares to propagate them , cuttings can bo made of these trimmlnirs. Cut to about six inches in length , bed them firmly in good , mel low soil to within ono eye of the top , and in an upright position. Every time you have a scuttle of ashen scatter them around the trunks of the fruit trees. If you will begin at the end of a v row aud give each tree n dressing as fast as the ashes are made ft will require but a short time to give all the trees the benefit of aslu- , * .fiilc ) the labor of so j doing w ill not be noticed , The best way lo purillj wax is to ndd to every ten po'thiil ' * of wnK out- quart of u ator and one pliil of good vinegar. \Vhcn \ nil is melU'd strain and put it in n warm phiee so thai it will cool slowly. When cool , scrape the dirt from the bottom where it will bo found nil to gether , leaving the wax clean ami nice. It is n rule nlways to plow hillside laud crosswajs. never straight up and down , ove.ii when Hat onouuli lor so doing , as Mich lauds frequently wnih from heavy raln . The best crops to grow on hillsides are grapes. A succd ful grower of bedding plan Is lays two inches In depth of rieli old manure over the entire Mirfaco of his grounds before digging over in the spring , it Is a good time now to start a manure heap for ne\t year's use. While planting the tree do not try to rattle tile dirt among tin1 roots bv shak ing the tree up ami down , tor UiN draws tin * line , hair like roots out of place , but noes not pu < di them bnek ; it folds them up an.l gets them nil out of shape. The discovery of a method for utilising thu grease in wool will ndd to the price of the clip. Heretofore the refuse was wasted , but now that It posses a market able value the unwashed wool will be as much sought ns that which is clean. The merino is hardy , nml , being nctlvo nml industrious , does not require that cnro which is often necessary for the larger breeds. Huiice tlio farmer is on- tibled to mnko a prolit from the morituH on locations not m. all adapted for the. mutton breeds. There is a largo Field open for the o who will make a specialty of flax. It is a quick growing crop , is as easily grown as wheat , ami improved machinery has made it morn easily llttod for market. It gives a proIII in both straw ami seed. If the pcueh trees have not been rimmed il is bust to defer so doing until iiirly in the spring , before tliu buds icgm to appear. A peacli tree is often greatly bcnolitted and renewed by judici- jus trimming , and trees would last much ongor if given some care in that respect. One of tlio first plants to change from green to scarlet is the poison ivy. He- vnro of it. Kumombor , the poison vine ins three leaves in n cluster ; the loaves of the harmless woodbine are in ehisters of live. Another gay-luted plant of thu arly autumn is thu poison sumac , or the > oison oak. The practice of abandoning the rasp- jerry and blackberry fields ( after liar- csting thu fruit ) until spring , is per- licious. The vine should bu well culti vated in order to keep down the grass mil weeds. It is true that by cultivation .ho number of blncKborry plants will bu Multiplied , but they can bo destroyed if lot desired. There is a largo loss an- iiially bv allowing grass nnd weeds to uonopoli/.e the Holds in the fall , Indefinite horticultural quantities nro a barrel of apples , a quart ot strawberries , : t basket of peaches , n box of berries , or what you get for your money of a tree iieddlur. in the poultry line n do/on of 3ggs or n pair of 'spring ' chickens. In live stock , a qiiartor of veal , mutton or lamb. In husbandry , the proportion of liny to a load of trash , or tlio dirt to the bushel of grainr In dairying , tlio butter in hog-fat , nml mill' in the water sold. Corn meal is a. , convenient , nml wo might sny stapjo , article of food in the barn-yard and poultry-yard , yet it is not the best food ' .for' ' chickens. It is very good food in whiter * , ns it is heating , butler lor young ehiokcns'it is not sufficiently growing. Very young chickens thnt nro fed on corn meal exclusively are liable to be troubled with bowel disease. Give : i variety of foo/1 / , give plenty of rnngo , ami. above nil , givu clean quarters. Tlio price for washed wool makes the increase , or lambs , the main source of income from the 'Sheep , says the Wool Journal. The poof sheep must bo dis posed of and onljv those kept whick will show well and have a salable lamb. A great deal of money is lost by farmers by holding on to stock when they get fat. This is often done until they got poor again. This system , or want of system , never pays. Shnop once fat ami then allowed to got poor never do well.

They set to work to rescue ilin , but finding that the esrlhas caving in as ia t as they removed t they sent ono of their number to ap- > oal to the I'omnmiidnnt at Fort Me- ) owill ! , onlv a few miles away , to give hem n few men. The officer was told if the urgency of the ease , but ho replied hat as the accident happened out-idn imlts of the reservation he had no an- hority to detail any of his men. For orty-elght hours the packers worked to eseun the unfortunate man ; they gave ilin coffee and labored like heroe.s to ave his life , but exhausted nature finally rave way ami he died before their eyes. Military red tape killed him , as It has nany another good man throughout the erritory. Is it strange , therefore , that ho officers who show sueli cynical con- cmpt for the life of a common civilian ire not held in high esteem by the \rizonlan ? A Wronged Wonmn'H Ambit Inn , C'hieago Horrid : "I've just been out in louver , " said an eastbound pas.-onger , 'and while tlicrd 1 met Mrs. Tabor , di vorced wife of iho shirt-front senator. She has not married again , but Is living quietly with her son. She has developed very good business tact , and has taktm such admirable care of the $ -100,000 which lie got from her husband that she is now i nnllionairn. Tabor , on the other hand , las been gradually going down hill. Not eng ago no made a rather lucky hit in some mines , whieh revived his drooping "ortnnct' a bit , but the prediction l.s freely nadn that in a few vears ho will flatten * out Into Impels bankruptcy. Mrs. 1'abor No. 1 says that she will yet have to .ako care of 'the old man , ' anil that when iis hour of adversity comes , as come it will , ho will find himself deserted by No Q , and then ho will bo glad enough to re turn to his first love and her million. It eonis to bo the height of this woman's unbition to get her husband back and to ) u able to set him up again financially.

The count is , however , yet young , and the best is hoped from his vigorous constitution. His writings are becoming bettor known every day , especially through the oxcollcntTrench translations of MM. Dorely , Do Ilauterivo and Hal- pprmo. An English edition ol several of his short tales for the people , represent ing the latest phase of Count Tolstoi's life and work , is in preparation. Anglican missionaries in the diocese ol Maritzburg , South Africa , claim that the great sin of the Kaffirs is idleness. What work is done falls on the shoulders of the women , and they don't work three months out of the twclvo. When the people are not off to a beer drinking they are stretched out in the sun , idling their time away. They don't it seems , hko to go to church any hotter than they like to work. Sometimes the impatient mis sionary will have to wait for his * congre gallon more than an hour , oven after a messenger has been sent for them.
