THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : FRIDAY , FEBRUARY 18. 1887. BOW REALTY HAS JUMPED UP , tthe Capital Oity's ' Boom Shown Tip in As tonishing Recent Deals.

Some of the transactions bring to light mar velous prices paid that make the nrollt almost equal to the fortunate winner inn lottery , so great Is tlio discrepancy from Ilio purchase anil the selling price. When C. C. IJurr tx few days ago paid ! f33,000 tor fifty feet on the corner of O and Twelfth streets , the general belief was that the nemo of high prices had been reached. Prices of this kind for n naiccd lot , \vith not a foot of pavement or pub lie improvement surrounding it , would Fccm to bo the top of the market , and yet It was freely stated on the streets yesterday that Mr. llurr had been offered uid had refused $0,000 for his bargain. Ml tliis is but illustrative of the way prices are climbing in this city of 30,000 plo. As illustrations of profits made n investments , Mr. D. G. Courtnay yes terday sold n tract of six ncros and n fraction , lying cast of Antelope creel : , lor $20,000 in cash. This piece of ground was purchased by J. II. Ilarloy and J. D. Mol-'arland , and It is understood will bo platted and placed upon the market. Mr. Uourtnay in 1878 paid the sum of P21 an aero for tins ground that now brings him nn even $20,000. West ot this piece of ground Mr. Court- nay has 11 ton-aero tract that lias never been nlalted , and for this ho yesterday had an offer of $35,000 nnd lie hesitates about closing the trade at that Injure.

Many purchases not cnumnr- ntod in the ubovo have been made in the past month that represent big profits to the purchasers. , COMING TEIltt OF COUIIT. The coming term ol the Lancaster county district court promises to be full of interest and to have tlio usual comple ment of cases up for disposal. In this term Judge Chapman will sit for the lirst time on the boneh and K. 1) . Stearns will etop into the work as county nttornoy. There are upon the civil docket exactly 280 cases recorded , and a number will bo added since this publication of the docket Rufllcicut to bring the totals up to 300. In this array there are thirty-three cases of divorce , which go to show the popularity of Lincoln courts in break ing the bonds of unhappy matrimonial alliances. The criminal docket shows a total of forty-three cases , u number of then ; being law and order cases not dis posed 0.1 at the last term. Of these cases there are none of special importance save the case against Mrs. Shelloubergor , of Nebraska City , brought to this county on a change of venue. Among the cases for trial that have been added in the past two days nro W. H. 11. Dunn vs Austin Riley , an appeal from justice court ; Har ris vs Southwlck , appeal ; Uhoa vs Arma- dale ot al , to recover the valno of certain notes past duo , and.J. H. McAllister vs Fred Bookman , to remove cloud from the title to certain real estate. The last divorce case filed is that of Mary Brcnnan against her husband , Michael Brcnnan.

In the county court yesterday the case of Fire Warden Nowbury against City Clerk Mauley and F. M- Hall was given a hearing. In Juno last Warden Now- bnry gave a written order on the city clot kin favor of F. M. Hall for | 23 a month to bo paid by the clerk from his Balary as warden , the order running for a year. In January Mr. Nowbury gave to the city clerk a verbal order to cease paying over the $23 a month , but the city clerk continued to honor the written order. The case now is brought by the warden to recover from the clerk the nionov paid the lirst of the month con trary to verbal orders. The judge has witheld his decision until Monday. SENT TO Till : IIUFOKM SCHOOL. Yesterday Judge Parker heard the ease against the fifteen-year-old boy Walter Sheldon who for the second time was in the court on a charge , of petit larceny. The father of the boy also complained that ho was wholly unable to control him , that ho was disorderly , ran away and was a tit subject for correction. The examination of the lad developed all these facts , and the sentence of the court was that ho bo taken to the reform school * for the remainder of his minority as a lit - f Hiibjcct for that Institution. Deputy Bhoriil' Langdon took the young ollendor in charge and departed westward on the noon train for Kearney. AN OMAHA LAI ) IN TltOUDLU. A boy who gnvo his name as Charlie Vess was up in the county court yester day morning charged with stealing from the store of Fred Schmidt. The boy plead guilty to the ohargo and with ones nnd Importunities saldth.it ho wanted to go homo , and as ho shed tears and appeared very penitent tlio judge sent Hun to jail without sentence and wrote to his father. The boy said that hU home was in Omaha , tlmt ho was the son of J. C. Yoss who lived at thu corner of Sixteenth nnd California streets , and that ho had run away from homo. The judge Is expect ing an answer from the boy's parents to-day which will determine the final dis position of the caso. A11SCOXPINO WITH CASH.

VAWAHAISO. Neb. , Feb. 15 To the Editor of the HEP : Valparaiso 'is situ ated at a railroad junction of the Omaha & Republican Valley railroad , theStroms- burg branch running west and the Lin coln brunch south by way of Beatrice ami Marysvillo to Kansas City. The company has lately erected coal shutcs and an 100 house here , and are preparing to build a line depot as soon as the weather will permit. About $3,000 is paid out monthly by tho'company to employes re siding hero. Tlioro are in the town three general merchandise , two hardware , ono furni ture , two drug , ono millinery and three Jiroeory stores , tlireo restaurants , throe hotols"t\vo blacksmith and wagon shops two o'uvntora ' , one lumber , one coal vnrd. two banks , ono \vcekly ? ; ; Gr , two 0 .irC-ii oiulilingd and three civic organi sations ; good school building , employ ing three teachers ; ono boot and sh > ; ami a harness shop , besides : i news stand , candy shops , etc. K A.

Another large brick is contracted for , to bo built as soon as warm weather comes , and several otliers are talked of , besides a good many dwellings. A stock company is forming to operate a creamery , and tlicro is .a splendid chance for a canning fac tory. 0. C. White has ono of the best flour ing mills in the state , and ships largo quantities of Hour in all directions. Land is being rapidly taken up by moneyed men from tlio cast who are opening up ricli farms and ranches. It is twenty miles each way to towns of any importance , ana only twenty miles to tlio capital of the state. Taking everything into consideration , Valparaiso and vicinity oiler aw great inducements to men of means , who wish to invest , as any town in the state. With threu churches and a Young Men's Christian association in active working order to look after the morals of our citi/.cns , and no saloon for spvoral years , Val paraiso can boast of being a model town , ami can show the largest proportion of quiet , peaceful , law abiding citizens of any town in the state without exception. The prospects are that wo shall double our population in the next two years. Didn't our girl graduates look lovely ? Yes , indeed ; they all use Pozzoni's Com plexion Powder. Sonplng a Geysor. From a Yellowstone Park Letter : 1 learned of a curious circumstance while at Upper Guyscr basin , which is not gen erally known to the public and which is unquestionably true. Many of the gey sers are inactive , others merely bubble and storm without erupting , -.yhiio others spout with clock-like , regularity. I held the watch on Old Faithful again ami again , but this beautiful jroysor , true to its name , sent up a magnificent stream , nearly two hundred feet high , every iifty-iive minutes. Nor once was there a failureor the slightest variation in the time. I saw it in the moonlight , and no spectacle on earth can compare with this sublime spectacle. The Castle Geyser also treated mo to a rare exhibition , utitl was informed by the proprietor of the hotel that the " . " finest in "Splendid. one of the geysers the basin , find which once had ft record almost as good as Old Faithful , had com pletely failed , and hail lain dormant for nearly six months. I strolled over to the Splendid , and saw a man busily at work dropping bars ot soap into the crater. "What iii the world are you doing that for ? " 1 inquiredlotally unable to restrain my curiosity. "Just wait and see , " said the stranger. Ho kept steadily at work , dropping bar after bar down the yollow-coateu throat. until the monstrir began to runiblo and sputter , and finally behaved in a very boisterous manner. Eleven , twelve , thir teen , and.as the fourteenth bar was swal lowed up , uway wont the Splendid ICO feet into the air , as magnificent and as grand as 1 had over seen. "There ! " exclaimed tu experimental stranger , " 1 reckon I hayo made as big a discovery as either of those scientific cusses , Wiggins or Proctor , over did in their lives.1 It was an odd way of setting geysers to work , and no doubt strictly original with the gentleman whom I saw trying it. it.Ho sot the Fan going and started the Lion , Lioness and Cubs to growling. The lico-llivo , once the most beautiful of them all , is rapidly sinking into decay. The handsome couo still remains , but the geyser is no longer active. Ho dropped a half a box of soap down the chimney of the Hoo-llive , which , certainly started it rumbling und crumbling , ana actually brought the scalding water half way up the cone , but it oamo no further , and gradually sunk away into the depths ol the earth from which it had buon unwill ingly forced.

A Harlnn county ( Nebraska ) corre spondent of the Prairlo Farmer has this to say on the subject of deep or shallow corn culture : Probably nint'tecn-twentl- eths of the farmers who raise corn bo- hove that "deep cultivation is necessary to its perfection. " Some think that dur ing dry weather especially they must cul tivate deep ; that corn roots attain only about eight to ton Inchon in length at maturity ; while others bdiovo that corn has moro roots than needed , and advo cate cutting oft" a largo portion of these. In fact , when the plant is from four to six inches high , the roots are from fifteen to eighteen inches long. Soon after the roots invariably meet in the row , and often crowd each other , from thrco to four inches under the surface. The writer traced a corn root last season ( when the com was about thirty inches high ) , twenty-three feet from the hill. That the root Is tlio llfo of the plant , no one will dispute. These who have taken the trouble to examine the roots of corn know that they form a complete network of fibrous roots ; and surely A plant must have an abundance of roots to mature its gram in from ninety to ono hundred days. What has given people the idea of deep cultivation ? It is probably this : If the shovel plow is used and not run pretty deep it will do no good. It will not kill the weeds and grass. n\\i\ \ \ \ with j S ; j10-ro cnnno'c Uo g)0i , corn. Hence , as deep plowing will kill ho weeds , and not totally kill the corn , nany think it the best method. The writer saw a field of corn last sea- on that did not have a cultivator put nto it until it was moro than twenty nehos high. This field had been bar- owed with an ordinary slanting tooth larrow , from the time it was planted intil it attained that height not when ho ground was wet , not early in the norning or late in the ovoninc at such lines the plant is tender and brittle , and " iablc to "break but in the heat of the lay , when ono can kill weeds and not in- 'tiro the corn. This field was absolutely TOO from weeds and grass when the har rowing was discontinued , and in about ten days or two weeks , it was "laid by" with an ordinary cultivator , sot so ns to lot go over tlireo to four inches deep. This man cut very few , if any corn roots. His field of forty acres yielded eighty nishels per aero , whllo a field adjoining that was cultivated deep , and kept clear with an equal stand , and similar condi tions with icgard to soil and previous cultivation , yielded but fortythrco bush els per acre. All admit that fall plowing lolds moisture longer than spring plow- ng , the soil becomes compact , and if slightly worked on the surface , so as to prevent "baking , " the warm sun will Iraw the moisture nearly to the surface. tt will cost but , \ trillo to try this experi ment on a small piece adjoining the regu lar crop. A slanting tooth harrow will not injure young corn plants , if worked in the heat of the day. Rcnrflt of Working by System. Every farmer who would work to the best advantage should employ a portion of his leisure hours in the winter in de ciding what crops ho will prow on each field , and the particular method of culti vation. By thus laying his plans for the future , when he has time for deliberate thought , ho will bo likely to make loss mistakes than if no plans are laid until the busy season arrives , and ho is obliged to act without time for reflection. There nro many reasons why it is best to mature plans in advance. If gives time for re- llcction and review , and the changes of any details that careful examination may suggest , and it also gives tinio for preparation without haste , which , as a rule , is the saving of both timn and mono } ' ; the seed may be purchased while passing the seed store on other business , and thus save a special trip in the busy season , and by purchasing curly in the season better scad can often bo se cured , 51 not at a lower price. When the seed is purchased early in the season its germinating qualities may bo tried by planting a few seeds In a box set in a warm place ; it Is well to do this oven if the seeds arc grown on the farm , and thus make sure that a crop will not bo lost by planting bud seed. By deciding what crops it is the best to grow early in the season , when the busy season comes the farmer has only to fol low out the general plans cnroiully laid out during the winter , thus loavjjig his mind free to plan Jhe details as the sea son adyancns. A farm thus run will always bo conducted to much better ad vantage than ono that is run without any plans , except what are made at the latest moment possible. Young Tnrkoyp. The hardest task the farmer's wife is called upon to perform is to raise the young tnrkoys. It is not difficult to hatch them , as the turkey hen is a persistent sitter and docs her duty faithfully , while thn eggs are nearly always fertile. A sinfrlo union of the gobbler and hen will fertilize all the eggs the lion may lay during the season. Like the human being , the turkey is very feeble and tender - dor when young , but hardy when ma tured. The most important matter is to never allow them to get wot. They must not oven bo allowed on damp ground , especially at night. Keep them , with the hen , in a roomy run , dry and sheltered from winds for a wook. Then let thorn out on clear days after the dow is oil' in the morning , and shut them up early at night. Food on ground oats and milk. cooked together us bread , with chopped onion in it , and give finely chopped moat and bono meal at least oneo a day , Feed often , and vary the food to any thing they will oat after they are a week old , but always feed meat. Always look out for lice , as that is often the cause of young turkeys dying off. Give chopped eggs the first two days , in addition to the other food , but give nothing the lirst thirty-six hours. Do not lot the hen ramble too far or tire the young ones , \Vatch them closely till they are past danger. I'roduoo n Greater Variety. Practical Farmer : During the pres ent season of comparative leisure on the farm it will bo well for cultivators , whllo maturing tuoir plans for thoonsulng sum mer , to consider whether it would not bo advisable to ralso a greater variety ol crops than formerly. Farmers who practice "mixed husbandry" are gener ally moro successful , especially these re mote from good markets , than such who rely upon ono or two crops , or specialties , and then , instead of growing them , as they might easily do , purchase several soif products for consumption In their families. Alluding to this subject a Pacific coast journal tersely remarks that "in the matter of production the Californiun is peculiar. Ho will plant 100 to COO acres in grain , and then purchase chase- his table vegetables from a neigh bor. Ho will pasture a herd of cattle , and rely upon the peddler for the milk that supplies his family. Ho will go abroad for goods that ho could as well manufacture at homo. And thus it goes through numerous branches of the trade. " The truthfulness of the foregoing as sertions is of wide application , und by no means confined to C'alifornians. It ap plies with almost equal force to the farm ers of other and moro widely separated portions of the country , cast and west , north and south , and nptablyto those of the latter region , in some parts ot which so much attention Is given to cotton- growing that other valuable crops are almost entirely neglected. Eyen in the Now England und middle states very few farmers grow one-half the variety of products they could and should for their I own use or that might bo profitably mar kotrd. TJspdcially Is tills true In regard to fruits , vegetables , etc. , tha general neglect of which by many cultivators seems unaccountable. The families of men who , hating suitable soil , in n favor able climate' , from year to year dcfct the planting of ( ruit trees , and rarely , if over , rals"o any vegetables lit for table use , are surely to bo jilticd on account of thnlr deprivation of what might bo easily supplied , while the heads of such unfortunate families should bo liable to indictment for neg lecting to discharge their duty in the premises. Such husbandmen must not only lack In thu true Miirit of progress , but bo deficient'in knowledge and appre ciation of the bonolits derivable from the cause indicated , for If they realized how much of health ami comfort might onia- nato from the frequent use of fruits and vegetables they would certainly devote moro attention to their production for that purpose , to say nothing of raising them for the market , which latter , it is needless to add , is n profitable industry in many localities. By the way , it is sur prising that so few farmers located near cities and villages , do not cultivate small fruits , vegetables , and the like for mar- koting. Wore they to give proper atten tion to this branch , growing choice varie ties , and sending to market in good con dition assorted , and In neat boxes and attractive packages they would soon lind thn business profitable. But if the farmers of old , long-culti vated regions nro derelict in growing fruits and vegetables , as many of them proverbially are , what shall bo said of those occupying largo ami fertile farms ami plantation ; jn the \vust \ un i ftwJJ thuso "veil-to-do farmers and planters who live on "hog and hominy" year in and year out , without apparently the least premonitory reluctance or twinge of conscience ? And it Is still true , ns it was years ago , that in the west , as a rule , corn , wheat and live stock are almost solely depended upon ami often only one of these while other , and , for the family , equally important products re- , coivc little or no attention. The planters of the south have been wont to conlino themselves to cotton , sugar and tobacco , ignoring most other crops , and depend ing chielly upon the north for supplies for f ninth' " consumption. The great majority have not only neglected the culture of trulls and vegetables , oven in the most favorable localities for the production , but also the cereal and other crops necessary to their sustenance , and which they might easily raise. This has been the custom for years , so long that in some suctions it appears to have become chronic and unchangeable ; and yet the benefits of mixed husbandry are at least coming to.bo known and appreciated , as its ad vantages have been clearlv demonstrated by many Intelligent and progressive cul tivators since "the late unpleasantness. " These advantages are many but they need not bo mentioned in this connection , as they will be readily suggested to the intelligent reader. The adoption of a judicious system of mixed husbandry would no doubt prove largely bonclioiiil to numerous cultivators in the west and sotitli ( aye , " and in the east nnd north ) , who now "rely chielly on ono or two staples. Indeed , wo confidently believe that it would be for the pecuniary in terest of the great mass of farmers throughout the country to produce u greater variety. Care of Young Early lambs ncod close looking after this month if they are to bo made to grow fast ; let thorn have plenty of meal wlioro they can got it and be away from the sheep. The sheep must bo well cared for and fed so as to secure the largest amount ofi milk possible. For early lambs , ono lamb to a sheep is enough. It is important to .have good quortors , not too warm and tight , but dry and plenty of room. Slieop andMambs afJor a few days old need fresh air and sunshine ; they will rarely sufl'er with the cold if kept dry. It is a mistake to keep sheep in a small , close house ; even in cold wea ther they naturally require exorcise in the open air , and should have it in fair wcathaV ; but in stormy weather they should bo kept under cover where there is plenty of room and pure air.

Another Duncor With a History. Town Topics : It is said that ICato Vaughan , the Gaiety dancer , is coming over to America. She is nothing for us if she has no scandal attached to her. Kato Vaughan is a particularly graceful , dilicate-looking girl , who has made her self popular on the burlesque stage by tin- supple elegance of her style and the picturesque tightness uf her .drosses. She was originally in the smallest of London music halls , and first appeared on the regular stage of Drury Lane in a panto- mimo. From thence she came to the Gaiety theatre , and for several years was ono of the popular quartette headed by Terry Hoyco and Nellie Farrcn. Knto Vaughan was soon notorious. Her first serious llirtation was with a well known criminal barrister who has elneo boon made judge in India. The next man who was known to have thrown Ins cap and gloves over the windmills for her was John Dclacour , ono of the best looking swells in London. His good looks were of no avail In the end , for the nephew of the duke of Wellington , Colonel Fred Wollcsloy , of the guards , carried her off to Vienna , where ho was pursued by the indignant John with sword and pistols. Colonel Wellesley , however , did not cnro to meet his predecessor , and made a rapid exit with the beautiful Kato an exit hastened , perhaps , by the fact that his ( the colonel's ) own wife was then staying ut the Grand hutol in the Kaisoratudt.

Wo have no doubt that If the kidneys nro kept In natural action , consumption nnd a grunt ninny other dis eases , cauM-d by uric ncid , will not only bo cured , but will bu prevented. When the kidney Is healthy , no albumen nppuais In the water , but nlbutiuMi Is found In the water of moro thun half ot these who din of consumption 1 This , thou , is the condition of thlncs tlmt nlwnvs precedes consumption : Fiist. weak ened kidneys : retained uric acid , polsonine the blood ; third , the development ol' disease In the lungs bv the hritant acids passing through them. Then there Is n Httlo cough in the moinlng ; soon thick , yellow matter Is spit up , followed by loss of lloslinud strength , with dicndtul night sweats ; nnd when the patient goes to his school physician tor help , ho is put on coil liver oil which his stomach. weakened also by uric ncld in the blood , cannot digest. Ue- cnuso thcio H no pain present In thekldnoyn , the patient does not think they mo af- tuctnd , but the kidney acid Is dolm ; Us work every minute , every hour , day and night , and by-ind-by the disease of tin : lungs 1ms nd- vnnced until pus Is developed , then come hemorrhages , and at last the glassy stare which denotes that the cud is near I A post mortem examination of such cases shows tlmt the terrible uric ncld has com pletely do-itrnyed the substance of the lung. It is Impossible to euro lung disease when the blood Is poisoned with uile ncld. Farmers in the neighborhood of How ard , in Miner county , have succeeded in obtaining strong flows of good water by means of testing augurs constructed by attaching ordinary carpenters' bits to iron rods.
