FACTS FROM FREMONT. —_— Dodge Connty Still Holdiog IS Own a8 4 Stock-Raising Center, Bright Prospects for '‘the Pretti- est Town in the State the Coming Season, Political and Other News, To the Editor of The Bee Fremont, Neb.,, March 30.—The weather promises spring, and new life and activity in every direction are visible. “©8 | The long winter has mado itself felt in many ways, Our merchants report dull trade, our laborers but little work, and our stockmen, that feed, especially hay, is scarce, and that soft corn and severe weather have kept their stock from doing 80 woll as usual. This section of the state more than hold its own as a feeding center. Vast numbers of cattle, sheep and hogs have been fed in Dodge county this winter, Prices for all fat stock have baen good. Our farmers don’t ask for anything better than from five to six cents per pound for their pork and beef. These prices mean fifty cents per bushel for their corn at their homes, and at this price any average farmer can soon become independent. But prosperity begets extravagance, especially with our farmers. No sooner do their good prices get them out of debt, than they conclude they must have more machinery, more land, more stock, or a desire to speculate takes possession of them, and so when prices are highest they again plunge into debt, a reaction takes place, hard times again set in, and they find themselves involved and embarassed and to extricate them- selves from debt, they go to solling at whatever prices they can get, and so in a few months, or a year or two at most, they are flat on their backs and must take a new start. These experiences ap- pear absolute necessities with many of our poor farmers, before they know enough to control their deals, and make that sure and safe possession and inde- pendence that all of our pest farmers now have. We have ample room for first-class farmers from any of the older tates and are getting many of them. They all do well here. ey soon grow rich, either on rented or xurchuerl farms, by using the industry and economy practiced in the older states. CITY PROSPERITY, This season will witness growth and prosperity in ‘‘the prettiest town in the state.” Several large bus: ness blocks will be erected. Public im- provements of various kinds will be com- menced. Naw railroad connections and outlets will be given us fine dwellings and elegant residences will be added to our already long list. POLITICS, But little excitement is yet visible in our city politi It will become more active now soon. Both parties expect their share of the offices and spoils. In this congressional district several would. be-congressmen aro asking for recogni- tion. It now looks that near a baker's dozen of prominent statesmen can be found in this district, who would willing- lgo relieve our Val of his public pass. dge county expects to be heard in this congressio; matter and desires her sister counties to make haste[slowly and ever keep their political weather-cocks leaning toward her favorite son. Oity election is the next thing on the docket, and while very little interest was manifested before the nominations, the prospects are very promising for a loud time on Tuesday next. The demccrats were unanimous in their choice of John E. Shervin for mayor, Shervin is one of the old wheel horses of democracy, and the hardest man in that party to beat. . 0. Cleland, the present incumbent of that office was renominated by the republicans. Last lgring he proved be a strong man, but during the last year levaulimla matters have sprung up that will cause him a little opposition in his own party. The trouble is about as follows: John C. Cleland, mayor, ap- inted John O. Uleland, chief of the re department at a salary of one hun- dred and fifty dollars per year. On the return of the Fremont hose team from the tournament at Lincoln last year, the Grand Island team accom- panied them and stopped off to see the “*prettiest city in the west.” Lines were formed at the depot headed by the mayor- chief, who at once ordered a march upon the city, The first halt was made at the saloonef Manly Dudley, where spirits ran high and beer was ata premium, The march was again taken up for the distance of at least two hundred feot, where another halt was called and the inyeders entered single file into the saloon of H, O. Matz, and the beer ordered by the mayor chief. Now John is no spring chicken, and whilo he has no love for the “‘Datch,” yet he knows that owing to_the fact that that element 1s quite large in Dodge county, he must keep on the right side of them, for John is ambitious and aspires to something | th great. He would like to serve the peo- Kh in the ocapacity of state senator and @ thinks the easiest wey to ot votes is to buy beer for the “‘Outch.” You will observe that he thinks them "fi cheap. The following saloons were then vis- ited: Mo ‘s, Klefile' isho Eftinger's and Hammer's. By this tKna it is fair to say that the b'hoys were in excellent condition to take in the city; and no doubt the Grand Island boys | 000 went to their homes with a very good opinion of Fremont, but lfllfint(.r one of our jolly mayor-chief and the ex- cellent Budweiser he furnished. A sort of state fair convention was held here last fall, at which our ma; f prosided. Several toasts were and one replied to by the ent was: ‘‘To Oswald Mueller, halhen brower in tee state.” Now, Mr. Mue'ler is a good citizen, but just what connection *‘Oswald Mueller, “the jolliest brewer in the state,” could have with the fire department *‘is one of those things which no fellow can find out.” |0 But we heard a very prominent republi- can assert that this, too, was a direct bid for the *‘Dutch” vote. thinks he can buy the Germans with e, 80 far as our cb- servation goes he is very much mistaken. Another act which he has been guilty and s not regarded with favor by the boll;s:l:i‘nmol our ;:‘)07.. is going ) 3 W ed with robbing a mp:ln{'o or thx:?{\g.m- dred dollars, n:d who l.n:i l::;t regarded as i & very respectable vidual in other respects, BCANDAL AND CRIME.

This time not for office but to answer in court as to the fathership of a new-born babe, the natural out-come of his lustful asso- ciation with one of our fair widows. He paid £400 a few months since as a com- promise with the same widow, who began a_breach-of-promise suit against him. his time she places him under bonds for bastardy. Then came the arrest of our ‘wnrthy senator for bastardy, and the preliminary examination takes place to-morrow. Fol- lowing close upon the heels of this came the arrest of several young hopefuls for breaking the doors lm{ windows of Rob- ert Kittle's warehouse. 1t is & cold day when Fremont doesn’t have something to keep the people ex- cited. '0or RICHARD, e — e Humor {n thegitomach, Much of the distress and sickness at- tributed to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea and other causes is occasioned by humor in the stomach. Several cases, with all the characteristics of these complaints, have been cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Other cures effected by this medicine are 80 wonderful that the simplest statemen- of them affords the best proof that it com bines rare curative agents and when once used secures the cn:gdonco of thepeo = —— COMPRESSED AIR. A New Method of Propelling Street In San Francisco there is in process of construction a machine forrunning street cars by means of compressed air. The idea has been broached before, but the | for attempts to put it into mechanism falled for various reasons, and now, it is eaid, this will settle all difficulties. By the new invention air is used at its lowest pressure to secure economy, or from 80 to 100 pounds per square inch. The ma- chinery will be made light to lessen the amount of dead weight carried. The difticulty of keeping up a constant uni- form pressure within practical limits seems to be removed by the new invenuon. It is proposed to erect an air compressing machine at each end of therailway, which will send the air along a four inch pip main. The main will be two feet below the surface of the ground, between the up and down tracks. At every block, or closer if desired, there will lead from the main to the centre of each track a branch pipe two inches in diameter, terminating ina valve-chamber with a valve held clos- ed by the pressure and spring. Above this chamber is an opening or slot in the street pavement to allow easy access to this branch pipe. On the car or dumm; thereisacoupleof smallstorage tanks, eac) of thirty cugio feet capacity, set under the car seats out of sight. An engine connects with the car wheels, and re. ceivesitssupply of motive{power from the air tanks. Esuding from one of the stor- e tanks, both of which are connected,- is & rubber hose, terminating in a nozzle like that of a fire hose. A small valve is placed in the end and kept closed by a spring. When the car stops for a pas- senger the engineer takes. down the hose and inserts it in the slot or opening in the car track, and immediately two valves, one in the nozzle the other in the branch pipe, are pressed apart and the air flows in from the main into the stor- age tank on the car. It is calculated that not more than six seconds will be consumed in the operation, even if the tanks are empty and must be completely filled. When they are half full the time will ba shorter. The valves in the street are kept enti- rely free from dirt and sireet drainage by an ingenious arrangement, and are ensily accessible for repairing, etc. If the main is damaged at any particular point it is only necessary to shut off the part, that is out of order by a system of stop valves with which the main is sup- plied. The idea was mentioned recently to Col. John N. Straat, who is interested in the proposed cable road in this city, and he said that it might be practicable, 1f it should be proved so the cable road in this city would utillize it surely. e e Has Confidence. “In one case personally known to me the suocess of Burdock Blood Bitters was almost in- credible. One lady described them as worth hundreds of dollars. 1 myself have the great- o8t confidence in them.” ’!’". 8. Scratch, rug- gist, Ruthven, Ont. e —— Millions in Milk. 1t requires 15,000,000 cows to supply the demand for milk and its products in this country, according to an essay read before the {hw York Farmers' Milk as- sociation, The capital invested in the dairying business is over §2,000,000,000. 1t requires the cultivation of over 60,000, 000 acres of land to furnish food for the above number of cows. More than $200,- 000,000 are invested in Aairy machinery and implements alone. The men em- ployed number 700,000, and 1,000,000 horses are necessary. The cows and horses consume annually 30,000,000 tons of hay, 90,000,000 bushels of cornmeal and the same amount of oatmeal, 275,- 000,000 bushels of oats, 2,000,000 bushels of bran and 30,000,000 bushels of corn, to say nothing of the brewery grains and questionable feed of various kinds that 1s used all over the country. I costs $168,000,000, or an average of §20 a month per capita. The annual yield of the average cow is ced at 460 gallons- making the total milk product 6,750,00 gollons a year. The farmers' receipts for averaging it at twelve cents u [l mounts to $810,000,000. Cheese and butter use up 50 per cent, of the milk yield. To make a pound of cheese ten pounds of milk are required, and twenty-seven pounds of milk make one f butter, '&oe qualities of milk is as three and one-half round- to one Kound of prime beef. A at steer furnishes 50 per cent of boneless beef, but it would require about 24,000, steers, weighing 1500 pounds each, to produce the same amount of nutrition as the 15,000,000 cows supply with their annual yield of milk, —_—— Tells What He Knows. “Best thing for burns I have ever tried.

Report of City Mission Work for First Quarter ot 1884 By Mrs, H, B. Fuller, Although shut in for a week by sick- ness, I have worked about the same num- ber of hours as usual in the three months. From January lst to April 1st, have received in compensation for services from the following: Presbyterian church Congregational churcl United Presbyterian c A member of Baptist chur RRCRIVED FOR USE IN TH Congregational S, 8, South M. E, church J. T, Millard mmanmoeanS 323333888383 Rev. Sherrill A prisoner Mrs, Backus ciee Have also received from Mrs. 8. H. H. Clark a monthly order of two dollars for groceries, and the Irvington Benevolent society have sent fifty new garments and four new comfortables, besides second hand clothing. Also clothing from sev- eral other friends. Some of these garments have been dis- tributed through the rooms of the Aid as- sociation, but most of it personally, as all else has been. Any of the donors can know not only into what families their gifts have gone, but just what the money has been spent T, I think there has been more call for help this winter than ever before, during the five or six years I have been engaged in the work. ~ And certainly there has been more new families receiving help— some who have recently come into town, and others who have never before asked for aid. One of these I found in a dingy room, the air of which was poisoned by the smoke of the kerosene lamp, which they were obliged to keep constantly burning, as scarcely a ray of sunlight ever pene- trated its darkness, the only window be- ing in the door, which opens into an enclosed hall. And here they had lived several days. without any fire, warmed only by u chimney from below. One can imagine how comfortable thiz would be likely to keep a room in cold weather. 1 believe these people are not intemperate, nor particularly improvident. Theyhad been unfortunate, and merely needed tidings over a rough place. They obtained work immedinte%y afterwards, and have not since called for help; while there are many other families just as well able to care for themselves who subsist upon charity. Whisky has wrought its usual ruin. Among thehorrible deaths resulting from it, is that of another woman, who used, we believe, to move in good society, cul- tured and refined. This drink is a ter- rible leveler. A man who had several times been ar- reated for abusing his family, has again attacked his little girl, and holding her mouth, knocked her head against a stove, cutting a severe gash, so that when she got away from him and ran towards a neighbor's she was covered with blood. Can nothing be done in such a case, until murder, which is constantly threatened, is consummated? A neighbor, thinking the twenty days to which he was sen- tenced too severe, came in to expostulate with his wife. He said he came ‘‘only a8 a friend and a gentleman, because he knew aman was ‘liable’ to do things when he was drunk that he would not if he were sober;" and he proceeded to prove it, after another polite apology, by attempting to make his exit through a window instead of the door. A colored —a light, nice boy— was left with me last fall. I had considerable difticulty in getting a suitable place for him, but he has at last found a good home, by adoption, in the family of a colored minister. I have listened to some very sad tales recently, One young girl claimed to be the daughter of a professional gambler, and she seemed to tell a straight story, who died by violence, as such men are prone jto do; and within twenty-four hours afterwards, the mother died by suicide. One sister and a brother were already following the father downward, but she and a younger sister, who were left penniless and utterly unaccustomed to work, found employment, and for four years have supported themselves, by hard, honest labor. She came here from the east, but failed to meet the party she ex- pected. * Sadly disappointed and having exhausted her means, she was brought to me, and sheltered for one night in the rooms of the W. C. A, A., and then sent back to her sister. Another woman, whom we had seen wandering up and down, and back and forth over our horribly dirty walks, car- rying a heavy boy of three years, was brought up here, is now at the rooms, but has work engaged and we believe is full, capable of supporting herself and chik{ An old lady of seventy-five, who has been several times mentioned in the papers, vas brought up here to die; away from home and friends.

Undoing Many of the Things Done in Life on His Deathbed. New York Cor. Chicago Tribune. Thomas Kinselia, who edited The Brook- lyn Eagle, and who last week died and was buried, lived a singular life, some of the strangest eccentricities of which have not come to light 1n the papers hereaway His plucky fight for recognition; his climb from a common “‘case” of the type- setter in the office through all the inter- mediate positions to that of editor-in.chief and manager—all this has been dwelt on —but_his matrimonial and theological versatility the local papers have dropped a veil over. Kinsella was an Irishman, and a Catholic, as was his first wife, who bore him five daughters. All went well till he fell in with the wife of a politician and office-holder of local celebrity, known as Tom Fields. Of her he became deeply enamoured, and after a short courtship, as it were, divorces were obtained, at his instigation, all around, and Mr. Kinsella and Mrs. Fields were dully married by Henry Ward Beecher. Fields brought suit against Kinsella for alienating the aftections of his wife and won the suit, the jury awarding him $50,000. He declared that he didn’t want the money for himself, but wanted to deposit it in the name of his erring spouse, for her to use whenever her new admirer should desert her.

This all happened some years ago, and Mr. Kinsella was an ardent supporter of the great Plymouth pastor during his trials. ‘When Mr. Kinsella was brought face to face with death in his last illness he sent for Mr. Beecher, who came and prayed with him and talked with him, but it did not seem to ‘‘go to the spot,” he said. The old menaces of the life to come which had been instilled into him by the Catholic church when a child rose imperatively before him. He was afraid to die, and he admitted it. His latest wife guarded his haunted bedside, but he induced some friend to carry a note to a Catholic priest with whom he was well acquainted. The priest came but could not getin. Mrs. “‘Fields”. Kinsella assurred him that if she wanted him she would send for him, but that at E{auent his services were surperfluous. o retreated reluctantly, was again sum- moned and boldly made his way to the sick man’s bedside. Kinsella wanted con- fession, communion, baptism and the rites of the Catholic church, The caller told him he could not be buried as a Catholic, except by speedy repentance of his sins, especially the sin of putting away his wife and marrying another. He was in mortal agony and mortal fear. He said he would do as he was told. Under the urgency of his spiritual adviser he called Mrs. ‘‘Fields”-Kinsella into the room and formally discarded her, and ordered her to pack up and leave, and then his former wife was recalled to his bedside. The will was changed. This is the strange story told and generally believed. I sup- pose it is correct. And now the first wife who shared with him the hardship of his early struggles and her daughters will inherit his great wealth, and Mrs, “Fields”-Kinsella has already, it is said, drawn from the bank the $50,000 obtain- ed from Kinsella, But if he had lived I wonder who would have been his wife? o ———— A MAN WHO MORTGAGED HIM- SELF, The Koreclosure of the Mortgage Pro- hibited by the Court. Greexviuie, N. C., March 27.—One of the most remarkable suits on record is about to bo heard before the supreme court of this state. It grows out of a mortgage on his own person made by a white man named John Hando, of Pitt county, in this state, securing Jim Taker, a cotton planter, for a debt due him. This deed reads: *“I, Jchn'Hando, of the county of Pitt, in the state of North Carolina, am in- debted to Jim Taker, of the state and county aforesaid, in the sum of $26, for which he holds my note, to be due on the 11th day of January, 1884, and to secure the payment of the same, I do hereby convey to him these articles of personal property, to wit: myself, to work with him long enough to pay this debt, but on this special trust that if I fail to pay said debt right away, then he, the sud Taker, or his assigns, may sell me at the court house door it or cash, as thinks best, after giving twenty days public notice at three places and ap- ply the proceeds of such sale to the dis- charge of said debt, and interest on the same and cost and expenses of making such sale, aud pay the surplus, if any, to me. “Given under of January, 1834, Hando faled to pn{ the amount due, and Taker was at liberty, under the terms of the deed, to sell him at public auction.
