Bein- Who Deliberately Flings His First Born Alive Into a Snow Bank, And Leaves the Naked Babe to Freeze to Death. About two weeks ago an item was publisbed in Tur Bee regirding the discovery in the Republican valley of the dead body of en infact, the evi- dent victim of an infanticide. Later details now reach us of the discovery of the perpetrator of this unnatural crime, and they will cause & thrill of horror in every mother's heart, for they form the history of the most dreadful crime of the kind ever com- mitted within the confines oi the state. The history of the affair in bricf is as follows:" Hals A man nsmed W. R. Whitney, liv- ut ten miles’ south of Cam- n Furnas county, became en- gagod toa young woman and subse quently formed rclations with her more intimate than legal. Fear of public condemnation spuered him to 2 sudden marriage with the girl and the two left together for the east and were absent some weeks. On their return they brought with them as far ae Orleans a young infaut, of which the psssengers were informed ths young woman was the mother. The next morning after srriving in Orlesus they left on the train for the west, their destination being Cam- bridge. As they neared their cestina tion and the 'rain slacked up the young man took the baby in his arms, telling his young wife that he was go- ing to give it away and would see her in Cambridge. Ho then proceeded immediately to the Republican river, which flowed near, without attracting notice, passed on ite frozen surfoce to the opposite side, when he stripped the innocent little babe of its cloth ing, with the exception of a band about its body, and with devilish cool- ness threw it alive into a snow bank. Tt is sapposed that he afterwards burned the clothing, in order that no traces of his crime might be pro- duced in the fature. It is also be- lieved that it was his intention to put the babe nader the iwe in the river, but that the thickness of the ice peevented it doing so. He then returned to Cambridge, in- forming the mother that he had given the baby away, and the two kept se- cret the fact that they were father aud mother. They soon after left Oambridge for their home. A fow days subsequent the dead bedy cf the infant was discovered by a party who chanced to be crossing the river at that point snd taken into Cawbrldge, where it created a pro- found seasation, especlally among the wives f the farmere. Among those who came to see the infant was its young mother, who had not for & moment’ dreamed that it oonld be her child. She recognized the body st a glance as that of her ohild, and mot _suspecting that her hushand ceuld be the gallty party, and forgetting their plans to conceal her indiscretion, gave way. to her feclings, and said the babe was hers, i An imwediate investigation fol- lowed, the result of which was that ot a'doubt of the husband's guilt was Jeft fland he was arrested and taken te Lincoln for safe keeping: His trlal will take place st the April term of the Furnss County District Oourt, to be held in Beaver City.

An Tce Gorge Already Form- ing at Two Points Above the Bridge. The river is rising rapidly. Up to noon Friday, since three o'clock yei- terday afterncon, there has been's rise of only four inchee, but about one o'clock the flood began pouring do w nd the rising of the stream became perceptible to the eye. By to-morrow noon, st the present rate, the river w Il have risen considerably overa foot. An inciplent ice gorge has formed about eighty feet north of the ferry boat “Undine,” of the ice de- soribed yesterday. It may, ghow- ever, prove the nuclens for one more respectable in a few days. The ice on the opposite slde of the river began tobreak to-day, but it was only carrled to a point op- posite the gorge first described, where it began a gorgeon its own hook. None of the thickest ice has as yet given way, though If the torrents of water continue pouring down through the night it will no doubt be shivered to pieces in the rise. About the bridge the river isas little indicative of & thaw as it was weeks ago. This may be acccunted tor from the fact that in ths immedi- ate nelghborhood of the bridge, at least on the north side, there are not the ehallow streams and air holes along the shore so noticesbie farther up. The ice is very solid about the bridge and this fact will prove of great mo- ment when the grand bresk up comes. The ice for a great distance above the bridge will long have broken up before that about the bridge gives way. Ir is safe to say the ico immediately abova the bridge is all the way across of the most solid. From an’ inspection of this locality it would. appear to be of the greatest advantage to endeavor to break a channel to a point below the bridge from each of the gorges men- tloned. That an enormous gorge will form about three hundred feet above the bridge is beyond doubt, as can be plainly seen now. The ice about the Undine has been loosened so that she may be spared any violent tussle with the flood. The U. P. passenger trains eastward and westward, passed over the new traek west of Fremont yesterday. Information has been received at B. & M. headquarters that the ice went out of the lower Platte last night. Dispatches received last'night from Yankton stated that the river was stationary, but that a heavy rise was comingdown from Pierre. —The St. Joe train arrived late this morning, and the U. P. train was late in getting out this sfternoon. —Commencing Monday, March 25th, the Lincoln express trainson the B, & M., No. 3 leaving Omaha 6:55 p. m. and No. 4 arriviog at 10:55 a. m., will be discon- tinued until farther notice. These trains areremoved temporarily during the present condition of the Platte, which renders the ‘running of the night train down dangerous. Of course the removal of one these trains necessilates the removal of both.

The Henderson Soldiers’ Col- ony Battles Bravely Against Adversity. An Interview With the Agent. Mr. F. M. Jamison, president of the Henderson Soldlers’ colony, was met at the Crelghton House Thursday evening by a BEE repcrter. He comes to the city to make ar- rangements with the B. & M. road for grain for'the colony, the past seas- on with the colony having been, alike with almost all the farmers in the Repuhlican valley, unproductive, The colony is situsted in Furnas county, two miles above Wilsonville postoffice and twelve miles from Cam- bridge on the B. & M. road, the near- est railroad station to the new town established by the colony and called Garfield. The colony numbers forty- five familles, all of whom had settled befors last spring was fairly over. During the winter the colony picked out a site on Beaver creek and founded. Garfield. “The winter was cold and steady with us,” said Mr. Jamison, ‘‘but by no meaus 80 severe as in other parts. ‘We have had plenty of fuel all winter, good ash, selling at thres dollara & cord. Our peopls on the whole are contented, though there are a few who are anxlous to lave. If the season had been better last year the colony would have doubled.” “Are you all housedin good shape?’ was asked. “‘Well, about one third of the colo- ny have frame houses, the rest being content with sod houses and dug-outs. ‘We are about to have a store and we are in expeotation of a post office. We have no meeting house or school yet, but a few prosperous seasons will see us with botb.” “How much land have you brok- en?” “Each family has from twenty to fifty acres in good condition, and thereare a few who have much more. We first planted corn only, but this year we are putting down besides cor=—wheat, osts, barley, garden truck and broom corn. The latter is a paying crop, and it s being plauted in great quantiti Day befcre yes- terday we bgan sowing wheat, so you sea we are by no means so bad off as you folks in this reglon. We shall want abous two csr loads of grain, or over 1,000 bushels. ~ We oaly ask free transportation forit. T can get it along the road at fair prices.” “How are you off for water?” “The county is very well watered with streams, though™ we hase to go down a litule ways for our drinkirg water. Wells require to be sunk from 150 to over 200 feet. It is, however, ‘worth going down for. No finer wa- ter exists.” “‘Has there been any destitution in your section this winter?” “Not any destitution, though there have been some few cases of poverty. There is little complatat, of this kind in our part of the state. West of us in Dundy, Hitchcock, Chase and those other grazing countles, ths cattle men have suffered immensely. Fully fifty per cent of the cattie bas been de- stroyed by the cold and the snow.” “‘Have you made suy personal in- vestigation of the facts!” “Why, it is patent to all around us and up the turks of the Republican river, now that the thaw has come, whole herds of cattle are lying in heapa that have been taried out of sight by the drifts. The storm would drive them before it aud finally over- tako them, when a dnft wouldegather about them and bury the poor crea- tures out of sight. While the thaw was in progress you would see them gradua'ly appear huddled together, some standing upright, aud as the enow meltel thess would topple cver - alongside of those that fell when overtaken. Theso sights are_scattered all through that number in enty to over one hundred, Msny herdsmen lost absolutely every besst. I dare say you hesrd of the man who had a herd of 3000 sheep and who walked to the ratlroad office with his carpet bag in hand and announced that everything was gone. There are many such.” ““You may remember a suggestion by The Herald some time ago to tarn Jour part of the state into a grazing ‘country?” *‘Yes, but that is all nonsense.

The vast amount of building that is to bedone this year, not only in Omaha bat in all parts of the west,has glven & corresponding boom to the nail trade, and our Omsha nail works ave now preparing to meet this de- mand. Up to July, 1880, Omaha nalls were made from what is known as small scrap, but the improyed, heavy ma chinery then introduced changed the proecss, and the heaviest railroad rails are now being used almost exclasively. This material isuniversally acknowl- edged to be A No. 1, becunse it has the adventage of being of the test fron thoroughly and systematically wrought. A large sapply of the very best rails are now on hand and arriv- ing. Improvements, which will be itemized hereafter, are now being mado that will add vastly to the saperi- ority of these nails, which, for the last to be the best in the market. Thus it is proposed that the Omsha Nail com- psuy shall, with true Omaha enter- prise, lead in the markets of the west for honest quality. This they have doneiin the past by keeping, not only ap with the advance of the day in ma- chinery and other essentials, but a lit- tleanead of that adyarce. The Omaha Iron and Nail Co.’s. works can successfully compete with the largest eastern factorles, because the fron here used would otherwise have to pay freight for shipment to the Pittsburgh market. Eastern prices are paid for. labor, iu all departments, heating, rolling and cutting. A great advantage in quality is zecared by ths Wyoming coal, which alone is used in the farnaces. This coal, unlike the eastern soft coal, is almcst free from sulphur, and this fact causes, not only uperiority in the product, bat also alarge ssving on iron. The sale of the inder ar slag from the furnaces to the Smelting Works is an advantage pos- sessed by no other factory, and about offsets the extra cost of the superior coal used. To still farther economize the cost of production, a new traiu of rolls, called break-down rolls, made by the Omaha Foundry and Machine com- pany, with Totten & Co.’s patent pl- ions, will be placed in position within four weeks. This new process insures a superlor quality for the nail, as it gives a dou- ble weld that absolutely prevents the nail from splitting, which, as avery man who ever drove nails knows, is the great objection to all nails made by the ordinary process. This system also gizes a more parfect. plate, thus aaviog the waste of material, which is usually a very considerable item. Four engines, sggregaiing four hundred horse power, are used. The 40-horse power engine used to drive the cutting machines has been taken out and a new 100-horse power has been put in its place, 8o that nail machines can be added to an almost uolimited extent, The _thirty-two machines now required will probably be doubled in number before a year pusses, as the homo demand is rapidly increasing. A new cooper shop fitted with the latest improved machinery, 1s con- tracted for so that excellent hardwood kegs can be proauced in quantities as required at small cost, and thus the percentage of expense for production of the manufactured article is con- stantly being reduced; hence, the Omaba Nail Company will ie in the most favorable position possible in that most important particalar. In thirty days hence the cost of the fac- tory, machinery and improvements will ‘aggregate the sum of £65,000. Thus, any one can see that this is a business of importance to our city and the west, Nail bugers will note one very im- portant fact; the heavy esstern freights are largely saved by purchas- ing of the Omaba Nail Co. Tbe interested opposition to Omaha manafacturers has demonstrated that our home products can suocessfally compete against the most violent com- petition. Our lead works, smelting works, packing ouses, machine shops, dis tillery, breweries, barb wire works, fertilizing works, soap works, canning establishments, ~refrigerator factory, shot factory, and mum- erous other manufactures of this city have all prospered and ex- | tended thelr business in many in- stances to almost the entire exclusion of eastern products, purchasers rea- soning very justly that & home manu- facturer cannot afford to sell & poor article. to home consumers, and that new factorles must build ap a reputa- tion by furnishing superior goods. The Omsha Nail Works managers are_evidently determined to makea nine months, have been acknowledged | ' They will not trust to the machine sorting that lets everything with a b a:d on‘:tnflza asa good nail, but will to it that every,keg! is sorted b; hand. The ambition of the wmpun; is boundless and their enterprise, en- ergy and western push backed by un- limited resources, cannot fail to give them and their products the promin- enct they 8o truly deserve. “WINE OF CARDUI" four times & day makes & happy household.
