Wordell is one ot the keenost and.ahrewdest dotectives in the employment of the government.

Alma Herald, We learn that the Phelps county court house is again in ashes. But it is a very singluar coincidence that it should burn down immediately after election. It is also very singular that none of the records were saved. We have interviewed several parties from that vicinity, and the best information wo oan get is that the fire did not breek out in the printing office (in the rear) but that the firo caught or had its origination from underneath the building, and that when it was first discovered it was breaking upward through the floor and filled the room where the records were with fire and smoke. When, had 1t broke out in the print lho? of The Nugget, it would necessarily had given them am- Flo time to secure many of the records nolusive of the votes cast in the late election. But, on the contrary, Mi. Hopwood had time to secure the type and matter pertaining to The Nugget office, while, according to the report, nothing pertalning to the records, It is but fair to surmise that it was done by an incendiary and for the purpose of covering up the election frauds.

A warrant of 5,000 was time, some 76 men, who had no legal residence in Buffalo county. They were in the two precincts above named. Price was not here on elec. tion day, but his gang was at the polls to vote, under instructions from re- publican headquarters, They were well whiskied up and were brought in, 88 we ure reliably informed by real- dents, by R:B. Potter; buarding boss on the works and voted, despite the protests of law-abiding citizens. Their action came very near bringing about & bloody riot. In fact, it was only averted by the citizens of Odessa Pre- cinots submitting, peacefully to the high handed and villainous fraud which ought to send to the peniten- tiary every man who was a party to it. It was intended by the perpetra- tora of this outrege to overcome the honest majority of the people for the anti-monopoly candidates for repre- sentatives and senator, as well as to elect Valentine to congress, but the county was too strongly anti-monop- oly to make this win, A few days after eleotion one of these canal men, in Hastings boasted that they had polled 74 votes for Val- entive in Buffalo county. A bystander told him that the entire gang ought to be prosecuted andsent tostate's prison. Ho replied by offering to bet $100,000 that nothing would ever be done about it and that no one would be prose- cuted. We haverefrained fromspeak- ing of this matter until this time, for the purpose of getting all the informa- tion poasible, and find upon investiga- tion, that there is no question as to the fraud, and we now urge the court of this distriot to instruct the grand jury to assemble next month to make a searching investigation of this orime against a fair and honest ballot, and suggest that the United States author- ities look into the matter, as these votes were all cast for Valentine, The time was when election frauds were mainly practiced by the demo- cracy, but the republican party leaders of the machine sre as corrupt in that direction as democratic leaders ever wore, and it is time that steps were taken to stop methods so base and de- structive to a free government as those practiced in Odessa and Western pre- ciucls on November 7th, B Business Failures.

It is especiully interesting in view of the effort being made to import birds from Buenos Ayres. Some valuable hints are given as to the treatment of ostriches, the period of plucking, managemont of tarms, etc. Consul Jourdon, of Algiers, says there is no obatacle to the introduction of ostriches into this country. Any climate will suit them where there is no great excess of cold or heat. He mentions southern Texas as partioularly adapted for them A pair of birds is worth 8,000 francs, and when they are well matched or mated several years and harmonize well, their value will have increased to 5,000 or 6,000 francs, The feathers will be worth 200 francs per head annually. Con- sul Siler, of Capetown, Cape Colony, thinks ostcich farming might thrive in Texas, Arirona and New Mexico. Prices for full grown birds, young, from $1,000 to $1,260, owing to their longevity, A farm once stocked would be stocked for a life time, to say noth- ing of the annual increaso of the birds, Foathers from one ostrich in Cape Colony have produced $160 per plucking and have ripened every eight months. If the chicke are sold by the breeder under a month old the gross income from one pair of good birds will be from $2,000 to 3,000 & year. Oonsul Baker, of Buonos Ayres, says ostriches are doubtless capable of standing the climate of almost any of the states, but productive ostrich farmiog, whether for feathers or rais- ing chicks for sale, ought not to be attempted except in the milder por- tions of the country, as the south- ern, southwestern ard Pacific states Tewmporanoce in Kansas, Epocial Dispatch to Tz Bxn MansATTAN, K8, November 28.— The, executive committee of the state Y | temperance soclety, in & circalar to the “‘Friends of Temperance,” reviews the condition which led to the results of the late election.

As a mattor of fact most of our real eatate kings are desoendants of men who were Tories in the revolution, They held fast to their houses and lots and to their uptown farms, and grew rich without any exertion on their part. Naturally the youth born of this stock acquire the Anglo mania and ape Eoglish manners, dress and spoak and live in the belief thal they “'do these things better in the old country.” In order to achieve an in- ternational exhibition at this point without treading upon the toes of any potentate on the other side of the it is now proposed to have a in 1892, on the four hun- dredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, It is a good thing to talk about, but un- less our people take more interest in it than other projects of merely public intereat and not private gain, there will be no fair for Mr. Columbus, though he may possibly achieve a bronzs and granite monument.

Cornelius—who used to Ka oalled “‘Young Ccrneel” to distinguish him ftom his erratic uncle—has just moved into his marble palace, a block above his father's baronial maugion, The outside ot the house is well worth in- spection, its white marble front, set off with carved figures, fruits and flowers, such as would seem worthy a place in an ordinary man’s library, The carving was done in Italy, and a mint of money was expended on it; and, of course, the common laborer, as he passes by to his twelve hours of toil, and remembers that the owners of these houses ‘‘toil not, neither do they spin,” and yet have millions to spare, is, made nr{ contented with his lot. Yot Cornelioy Vanderbilt is the flower of the family, and his dona- tions to charitable objects are very creditable, He is a vestryman in the church of the Holy Trinity and a teasher in the Sundsy school.

The secret of his happi- neas is not that he has not to pay back the $10,000 he received for work he did not do, but becauso he feared he might have to finish his “Lifo of Christ,"” and to his friends he said that its publication, in the present atato of popular opinion on his case, would be a flat failure, There will be no religious revival attempted at Plymouth church this winter.

The plan he had proposed he lhouggt was a good one snd all seemed to favor his views, at least they had so expressed themselves. The action of the Omaha's president in drawing out of the puol did not need discussion.” Koep said he would make no further efforts to bring about peace. He has some business to finlsh up with the directors this afternoon, and to night he and General Manager Hughitt will atart on their return to Chicsgo.

Prosident Porter, of the Omabs road, says: “I hadagreed to enter this conference afier a yreat desl of urging. Negotiatious uave been gu- ing on for several days, and when I discovered last night that tha St. Paul had gained control of this road, I withdrew at once from the confer- enoe, or, rather, refused to take part in it, and will not agree to any new nsnnlaru{m until I, know whathl:u ol;a t. Paul deoceived me i ongo u‘fi"um fn this olty. When, during war, a flag of truce is displayed, and under cover of that flag of true one army takes sieps to ao place troops as to threaten the ranke of opponents, their opponents have the right to renew hostilities at once. That is what the Omaha road has done. Should another conference be arranged, the arbitration cpmmittee shall determine whether or not this move of the St. Paul people was made before these fresh negotiations were begun and treat it accordingly. I have waited here in this city some days, in expectation that this quesiion would be settled, but I shall go to Chicago to-night.” Alex’s Assortion.
