THE ACADEMY, +|and in inebriates and dy A littlo over two years ago this insti- tution was started under the care of Rev. W. 8. Hampton, a successful educator from Illinois, and it is not often that a man so well fills his place, or is so well adapted to his work. This institution was planted woell toward the front, far in advance of anything of a kindred na- ture, The pupils were gathered, some of them from thesod houses and dug-outs of the pioneers, and they had many of them who suffered for lack of worldly ad- vantages; but they went to work with a will, and it is casy now to note their pro- gress. They are making an advance all along the line in rhetoric, in oratory and all the studies taught here. Few men have a better faculty to draw out the good than Mr. Hampton, Few men have such a hold on the young. Itis a great thing to be like Dr. Arnold, of Rugby and Mark Hopkins, of Williams, but Mr. Hampton is of that stamp. People at the east are little aware of the ad- vantages possessed by some of our western town. Many a family with consumptive: taint, which would prevent study could find here in this glorious climate health, which they wouid seek in vainelsewhere, and not only this, but a growing town, pleasant and intelligent people. THE REVIVAL. A series of meetings has recently been held here, which have met with encour- aging results, There were some thirty- five hopeful conversions, and these large- ly among the students. There is one ad- vantage, a first-class denominational school has; over a state instutution with its mixture of orthodox and broad gauge influences. The formér gives a religious training, and where the foundation is deep and broad the young man, going out from such surroundings, has an ad- vantage over one with principles unset- tled; who goes through life in a maze of uncertainty, without foundation or faith.

THE ROCKIES IN THE VALLEY, Going south of Franklin about four miles one is astonished to find a huge mass of the Rocky Mountains—planted high on the prairies, They are igneous rock, from the great western system, thrée hundred miles from home. There is enough of them to build a city. How did they get there? The people think they were heaved up from beneath.

Many conflicting reports have been published lately concerning the opera- tions of the Niobrara vigilantes, especial- ly as to the fate of Kid Wade, the leader of the horse-thieves recently captured at Lemars, Towa, The papers of Brown county bring the particulars of the lynch- ing of the Kid at Bassett, a station a dozen miles southeast of Ainsworth. On the morning of the 6th the captors of the Kid turned him over to the sheriff ot Holt county at a place called Morris Bridge, fifteen miles southeast of Ains- worth, The sheriffi employed two men to help him him take his prisoner to O'Neilland stopped that night at Martins’ hotel in Bassett. About 12 o'clock in the night, a band of some dozen masked men entered the room, with revolvers drawn, and ordered ““All hands up!” In this po- sition, Kid was roused up and marched off; but, knowing full well the penalty he would . soon pay he begged piteously with his captors for mercy, promising to lead a better life in future, using his best powers of utterance to gain a respite from the inevitable and ignominious fate he felt he was fast ap- proaching. The appeals were made to deaf cars. He was taken away, the masked party on leaving the hotel forbid- ding anyone to follow them under penal- ty of death. Next morning the body was found hanging to the whistling post by the side of*the railroad track, a few miles outside of town. Following is the verdict of the coroner’s jury: STATE OF NEBRASEA, Brown County. At an inquisition holden at Bassett, Brown county, on February 7, A. D, 1884, before J. H. Spafford, coroner of said county, upon the body of “Kid” Wade, lfllng dead, by tho ju- rors whose names are hereto subscribed, the said jurors, npon their oath, say that upon the night of February 6, 1884, *‘Kid” Wade was hung until dead, by parties unknown, In testimony whereof the said jurors here- unto sot their hands, the day and yoar afore- said, J. H. 8pa¥rorp, Coroner. Many circumstances connected with the lynching ot the Kid lead the more conservative people of the northern sec- tion to think that the vigilantes them- selyos are not just the proper sort of men to be handling these characters. It is thought by some that Wade was lynched to keep him from peaching on some of those who assisted at jerking him into eternity. bos | —— Skepticism was routed when_the peo- ple knew the virtues of Samaritan Ner- vine, No cure no pay. “My child is rosy cheeked and cured: Samaritan Nervine did it.” Mrs, Wm, Schelpeper, Nichols, lowa. $1.50 at Druggists. e — A NOVEL READY-MADE. B Tne Scanlon Will Contest at Denver Develops Material tor a First- Class Work of Fiction— A Suange Story. DexvER, Col., February 9.—A case was decided here in the district court to-day which contains more sensational points than the average work of fiction. The firat portions of the story have passed. The last chapter was ended in the court to-day by the breaking of the will of 'ames Scanlon, who two years ago deeded property worth $30,0(0 to the Catholic church in Denver. Scanlon’s rightful heirs, a widow and two children, wrested the fl:operty from the church. The case has been on trial three days, and the facts brought out by the evidence are tt‘ lur?réling. Thirty odd years ago James Stanlon came to the United States from Ireland, hrmnir:f with him his wife, whom he had married in county Donegal. They lived only a short timein New York city. Their married life %rew irksome to Scan- lon, and one day he disappeared. He came west and identified himself with the early pioneers who located in Denver. He kept his history a secret, and his family never heard of him again. He rospered in Denver and grew rich. Two years ago he was on his death-bed. Some time before he had identified him- solf with the North Denver Catholic church, and when he found himself dy- m% 80 the story goes, he sent for Father O'Hern to administer to his spiritual wants. The priest knew of his worldly possessions, and, asked if his will was made, and to whom he had given his property. Scanlon had not made his will, and then for the first time made it known that he was a married man, and had a family living in the east. The will was made, and, it is claimed, signed in the presence of two witnesses, Scanlon was 60 weak that he could not sign his own name, and was only able to make his croes-mark by the priest holding the pen in Scanlon’s fingers and drawing it across the pqfier. In the will Scanlon's heirs were ig- nored. The 'g‘mpcrt which was not willed to Father O'IIom personally was given to the church, The estate consist- ed of land on the North side. This went to the church; 82,000 in bank was be- queathed to Father O'Hern. A fow hours after this Scanlon, lying on his lonely bed, breathed his last. These faots were known at the time by a few, but never became known to the ‘general pub- lic, Surprise and md)fil:uon were mingled flu‘:lrgin. Cody, a kind hearted ly of Denver, who had known Scanlon inti- mately, interested herself, and realizing how the heirs of Scanlon had been de- frauded, determined to hunt them up and see that they got their just desserts. She kx; %l "n ’:u -boddoonlu- sion, uizy and detec- tive work 4 thnqz fivunlnn’n son in Philadelphia had, years before, com- mitted a henious crime, that of murder- ing his mother, the wife that James Scan- lon had deserted on coming to Colorado. 1t also came to her knowledge that youn Scanlon had suicided while in jal to prevent execution, Mrs, Cody went to Philadelphia and looked over the records of the court, without finding the information she desived. From the coroner’s office Mrs. Cody went to the ouuu:g jail, where she learned that & man named Davidson had murdered his mother, and afterward, in June, 1882, killed himself while awaiting his trial No such name as Scanlon had been heard of by the prison officials, Subsequent investigation, however, proved that Dayvidson's real name was John Scanlon, and he was the son of James Scanlon, of Denver. The wife and two sons of the murderer and suictde were then discover. ed without difficulty, and informed of their good fortune. After Scanlon de- serted his wife she went to Philadelphia and earned a living by pedding small wares, She waited several years for news of her truant husband, but finally concluded that he was dead, and married a man named Davidson, who died about ton years ago. John, her son by Scanlon, took the name of his step-father. As he grew up he began to drink heavily and formed bad associations. A few years ago he married a young woman in his own_sta- tion in life, and the couple lived with his mother. In his drunken fits he frequent- ly beat his aged mother, his wife, and his two children. On the dth day of May, 1882, the older folks and children were living huddled together in a miser- ably-furnished third-story attic in one of the worst parts of the city. Young Hoanlon hiad blea drinking heavily in the morning, and the neighbors had heard him quarreling with his mother. ~When he returned to the garret shortly before dark he turned upon his mother and suruck her in the face with his fist. The old woman picked up a chair to defend herself, but before she could use it Scan- lon had snatched up a hatchet, and, rushing at her, ho bit her a terrible blow with the butt end on the top of the head. She fell to the floor insensible. Frenzied, Scanlon jumped on the prostrate form and literally beat the head to a jelly. He was arrested by two of his neighbors. He was committed to await a trial for mur- der. His suicide in his cell, which occurred on the afternoon of Monday, July 10, 1882, created the greatest sur- rise among the prison officials. After Enving first removed all this clothing, he hung himself by his red flannel shirt from the lower bar of his cell window. Mrs. Cody says that when she found the ill-treated wife of young Scanlon, and told her the story, the woman would not believe it, and treated it as a hoax. Mrs. Scanlon was then living by her own work, and supporting her two boys, aged about b and 8 years, She was getting the paltry wages of $1.50 a week as a sor- vant, and on this pittance was not only keeping herself from starving, but was doing her best to give her boys a mother's good treatment. The youngest of these boys was living with a family for his board alone, the mother being compelled to furnish his shoes and the rags he had on his back. Mrs, Cody was moved by what she saw and was amply repaid for the labor and money she had expends in the poor woman’s behalf. Mrs. .Cody advanced money to Mrs. Scanlon and returned to Denver, with the under- standing that the wronged woman should come here at or before the time of the trial. Suit was entered to break the will. Father O'Hern and the others who were benefitted in the will contested the suit to the bitter end, having the best legal talent in the city to defend their cause. The case was submitted to the jury, who were out only twenty minutes, when they brought in a verdict that the priest had obtained the making of the Scanlon will by fraud, and it was therefore void. Mrs. Scanlon has papers to show that she is the lawful heir,and there is now no doubt whatever that she will come into her rightful possession. e Petrolenm V. Nasby. D, R, Locke, Petrolewn V.

Dewees 8) )fzike to her husband,” This is what she said: “‘William, I helieve I am dying.” However, she did not die, and she is now nearly well again. But the fact that she spoke at all to her husband has greatly excited those who are acquainted with the old couple. They are past threescore. This 1s the first time either has spoken to the other for nearly a quar- ter of a century, though each has spoken to other persons daily all the while. Nearly twenty-five years ago Mrs, Dewees desired her husband te do a tri- fling thing which he regarded as either impossible orunwise,and herefused. She, becoming petulant with disappointment, exclaimed: “If you don’t T'll never ' speak to you again as long as I live.” ““I not only will not do it,” he said, aroused to anger, ‘‘but I will not speak to you until you speak first to me.” The issue thus joined lasted longer than either imagined it would. Until the recent night spoken of neither Mr. nor Mrs, Dewees ever uttered a word to the other. The quarrel was soon over, and the best of feeling was resumed be- tween them. They have lived together ever since, contented and harmonious, the only cloud upon their happiness being their silence toward each other. But even that has had its advantages. WhenMr, Dewees wanted to say anything to his wife he would say, for aumEh, to one of the children: ““Jennie, tell your mother I wish she would sew another button on my overalls,” Or the mother :quld say: “Johnn:l tell yuu:mslther M; ring some sugar, oil, pep] & spool of :.fim_a, No. 50, "from town to-dey, " Af firet it was difficult for them to repress the impulse to speak to each other, but, bcmgexlcnmu of st will, they stuck doggedly to their resolutions until habit e it oasy to de so. ‘‘Yes," said Mr. Dewees to a neighbor one day, ‘‘we have not spoken for pretty near twenty-five years. It has some- times bo:u a little inconvenient, and, of course, it seems silly to most people; but it has been a bl i wu.inp:)umuw-yn.

On the night when the silence was broken Mrs. Deweee had been ill for some days, and about 1 o'clock in the morning she awoke in great pain, and thought her end had come. In her agony she called out to her husband: ““William, I believe 1 am dying!” The old couple have been talking to each other ever since, o — Why nw&un"y. muddy, disagreea ble article ¥ n Hood’s Sarsaparilla, so pure 8o} clear, so delightful can be ob tained 100 doses 81.00. | — Teal Bstate Auctioneering in New York, Old Anthony Bleecker, the veteran real estate auctioneer, who is just dead, has sold New York city twice over, He has auctioned off land day by day for more than a half century, and knew more about real estate than any other man. The first New York directory, ublished in 1786, contains “A. L. Bloocker, auctioneer, 40 Wall street,” and the business was bequeathed from father to son. A peculiar feature in real estate auctioneering is the fact that the fee is the same whatever bo the value of the plat. Bleecker got no more for selling the brick church, which brought $175,000, than he did for rattling off a Harlem lot for one-twentieth the amount. For- merly the fee was 810 per lot, but sInce war times it has been doubled. The rule is that the purchaser shall pay this fee, the object being to induce real estate men to offer their property. Any laud- holder may test the value of his property by offering it at auction, the only expense being advertising. Bleecker’s most profit- able job was the sale of the Bellevue property, which was ordered by the city a number of years ago. The plot was thirty acres, which was divided into five hundred lots, and the commissions were 25,000, Bleecker’s sales were always profitable for the buyers, He never gave any one a bad bargain, though in some _instances long patience was required. The most dangerous time for real estate speculators was when the war inflation reached its climax, This took place in 1868, when Bleecker sold the Tolman estate, which brought an aggregate of more than a mil- lion. The reaction then began and con- tinued for several years, when an ad- vance took place, and now the Tolman property is worth more than ever. One of the best bargains that Bleecker ever knocked down was the corner of Broadway and White street. It was a brick house and lot forty by one hundred and fifty, and brought $62,600. A business structure was erected at a cost of $50,000, and the entire property has since then been sold led | for $450,000. Blecker, indeed, coull boast of having enriched a greater num- ber than any other man of his day. He saw changes which seemed almost as in- oredible as the tale of the Arabian Nights, Lots, for instance, in Fifty- ninth street (opposite the Central park) sold in 1850 at 175, but are now worth $30,000. Personally speaking, the vet- eran auctioneer had none of that grace and elegance which mark some of his profession. He wasa large and rather ungainly man, with a coarse, harsh voice which grated on his audience, but he al- ways succeeded in extracting every possi- ble advance, and knew how to awaken the competition of the bidders.

The other daya bill was favorably acted on by a congsessional committeo which has been before congress for seventy-four Years. As in 80 many cases, the original claimants and their children are dead, and their claim is now pos- ecuted by their children’s children, who are gray-haired peofile themselves, with children and grandchildren, to whom the claim will probably descend. Asa sam- pleit is interesting, for it shows how simple these matters are, In 1814, when the British were advancing upon Wash- ington, a number of planters in Mary- land ~ deposited their tobacco, at the suggestion of government officers, in a government storehouse under the care ot government troops. The government troops moved away and the British advanced and took the store- house and destroyed its contents, One hundred and forty hogsheads of the tobaceo in that storehouse belongs to the Johnson famly. The Johnson family immediately presented a claim to con- gross for the value of the destroyed tobacco, That claim has been pressed every session of congreas since, It has been reported favorably again and again. It has passed one house or the other, but never both of the same congress, Why not? Simply because congress has so much to attend to do that it accomplishes only about 8 per cent. e — Of the many remedies betore the public for Nervous Debility and weakness of Nerve Gonerative System, there is none equal to Al- len’s Brain Food, which promptly and perma- nently restores all lost vigor; it never fails, 81 pkg., 6 for 85, —At drugvists. —— Politeness on the Rail, A correspondent of a Chicago paper relates the following: A gentleman en- tered a car at a way station, and in going down the aisle accidentally kmocked to the floor the hat of an uncouth, rough looking chap who lay in u seat with his head projecting over the armrests, “I beg your pardon, sir,” remarked the gentleman, politely. “Yer want to be kind of careful how you go staggering 'round,” replied the ill-natured rough as the gentleman passed o “Venture to say he never asked any one's pardon,” I said to the passenger next to me. “You're mistaken there,” the latter replied; “h’a begged mine once, very po- H PR hulfi 3 ‘‘Must have been some unusual circum- stance.” “Yes, indeed; he was in the state prison and wanted to get out.
