Strode's Explanation of tho Dogge Ac- quittal — Mrs. Latham Dies in Kansas—A Document From Way Back. (FROM TTIE DER'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] Six head of imported stallions were #old at auction in this eity yesterday by J.W.Small at an average of $1.000 a head. Four of the animals we of the Percheron breed. Kaloma, a deep black, was bought by M. R. Stanley of Friend, for 81,700. C. W. Kauffman, of Lincoln, paid $1,550 for Pierre, also a deep black. Appollyon, a dapple grey, went to Adam Henpel, of Hick- man, for $1.600. Parasis, a wmassiye iron grey, was bid off by A. Grenemayer of Cheney for $1,615. A magnificent Clytesdale and a handsome Clgveland bay were sold at private sale to parties who did not give their names. The for- mer brought $1,450 and the latter $1,625, These are the largest prices ever pai six horses at one sale in this state. MR. STRODE'S POSITION, District Attorney Strode 18 engaged just now in denymg the very violent angunge of the BEE'S tion entared into a compact or barga’ which Dr. Dogge was not to be ented provided he would testify Herold, This compact, in the form of a Jetter addressed to R. D. Stearns, deputy prosceutor, was Strode last fall and delivered to Cap! Billingsly, in whose possession it was until yesterday, When Dogge was ar- raigned for trial this paper was presented to the court, and a demand was made on Mr. Strode to nolle the proceedings, to which he demurred, contending that it could only be used aft mviction as the D application for a new trial. endorsed Mr 1o’s pos 1Ii|m e stated that he didn’t want to_pros the case himself, and turned it over to Mr. Stearns. And yet, in the face of this record, the distinguished attorney on Wedndsday afternoon denounced the compact as “a d—d lie.” When con- fronted by the original paper, however, Mr. Strode began to _justify the signing of it by saying that by inducing Dogge to roturn to this country he sncceeded in curing to the ereditors of Herold some £3,200 more_than they otherwise would have got. This would scem to indicate that Mr. Strode was more inclined to use the conrt as an agency for the collection of bad debts than to punish eriming That Mr. Stearns tried the ease with ability and vigor is not denied, That the withdrawal of the district attorney handicapped the pross cution ly true. Mr. Strode ha legal right to vromise Dr. Dogge im- munity Hom prosecution if he saw fit to do so. He has weakened his position only by denying the facts and violently ssailing those who made them public. The Brk man will nothing extenuate nor aught set down in malice. His mission is to give tho news to an intelligent pub- lic, and he proposes to do it without fear or fuvor. Mr. Strode and Mr. Stear are both estimable gentlemen and good Jawyers. That they should have | an unwarranted and illegal _construe on the BER’s statement, is a matter deep regret to all who know the facts in the case. LAWYER WEBST BOND ¥ . Che taking of the testimony in the case of J. R. Webster vs the commissioners of Lancaster county, which has been in pro- gress bofore Referce Munger for se eral days, was concluded yesterday after noon. ~Mr, Webstor claims_that unc his contract with the commissioners the county owes him $14,750 for his services in refunding $250,000 of Midland Pacific bonds. The defendunts insist that Web- ster was mistaken as to the obstacles in the way of refunding the bonds, and that he was of no earthly help or benefit to them in the matter, as the securities were appomted, and could by din and re- funded without hi . Tho pre taking of testimony is in connection with asuitin the supreme court brought by ‘Wabster to compel the commissi cither allow or reject hi: board insists that the claim is an illegal one and that they aro therefore not com- pelled to act onit. Mr. Munger will ro port on the facts as adduced b[v the test mony taken, within a few days. The suit is a legitimate outcome of one of the pieces of bond jobbery so often referred to by the B SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS, LATHAM The sudden death from pneumonia of Murs, #. W. Latham, of this city, was an- nounced by wire from Everest, Knnsas, esterday. Mrs. Latham was called to ilwx st inst week to attend her mother, Murs. Porry, who was then seriously ill. Mrs, Perry died on Monday, and on Wednesday Mr. Latham w notified that his wife was_in a dangerous condition. He reached Everest just in time to see her breathe her last, the physicians hayv- ing really abandoned all hopes of her r covery on Wednesany evening. M Latham was one of tho most prominent and enterprising women in the Capital city, and her death will be » severe blow not only to her devoted family but to the many organizations of which she was such un energetic member, The funeral will probably be held Sunday at Nebrasks.

[“Tean"" (n Baltimore Sun.] After steaming for two daysto the east- ward, the line of deep-sea soundings we taken up again in the South Atlantic Ocean whe: ard around the ¢ yod Hope over thre rs before oundings are taken with iron balls similar to nine-inch shot slung with wir A hole three inches in diameter through the middle of the ball reduces its weight from ninety-six pounds (the weight of nine-inch shot) to sixty-four pounds. Through this hole a brass plunger is in- serted several inches longer than the di- ameter of the shot. The plunger is filled with & worm, a cup and a hook, to which tho shot Is fastened 0 a Fool containing 5,000 fathoms of steel wire fastened to a swivel forming the head of the plunger and led over a wheel in an_iron frame sar of the ship's si wheel a little below the This leads the wire still further ar of the ship. The frame on which upper wheel hangs has five hollow stanchions in which sare springs, to ¢ of which a rope 18 fastened, roll over roll, as in the top of a frame, and wheel hangs so as' to gi chance to give way feet to ease the strain naturally comes on the and would surcly break iton a heavy roll of the ship,ns it has done one causing a loss of 1,600 fathoms of w When rything is ready the shot is droppe ‘hoard and the wire runs oft of the reel at the rate of 1,000 fathoms in ten minutes, As soon as the plunger reaches the bottom the hook to which the shot is fastened turns over by the slack- ening of the strain, and so releases it. Atell-tale on_the axle of the reel tells how many fathoms of wire have run off. A little steam engine then winds the wire with the plunger on the recl, minus the shot, which forever remains at the bot- tom of theocean. The plunger consists of a hollow tube ten inchies long, in which is inserted 1 worm with a cup. on the lower end. The worm serves for the purpose of twisting the cup into the bed of the ocean and to fotch up a sample from the bottom. The cup is the inven- tion of Lieut. Belknap, U. S. N, and is named after him. He has invented three rent cups, but the one used on board the Enterprise is Belknap Cup No. 2, and the best adapted for the purpose. The contents of the cup, after the water 18 draired off, are put in small bottles and Jabeled with latitude, longitude and depth. These bottles are ps ito boxes, to be sent to the hydrographic of- fice in Washington. When under steam_alone the eng aro stopped for sounding, but whe der sail alone steam has™to be_gotten up n in, as the ship has to ay perfeetly still, and te be under con- trol, which is impossible under 1. Soundings were taken about every 100 ho depth usually being 2,000 or athoms. The greatest encounter 3,800 fathoms, or about four and a half miles. In lattitude 30 degrees south and longitude 80 degrees west shoal water of about 400 or 500 fathoms was found, rovealing the exis of mountains on _the bottom of the oc These the Challenger, an English m: of-war, on a_decp-sen sounding exped tion around the world the yes tailed to discover. That y soundings were taken, onc every fiv miles, tll deep water was found again, The cost of a shot is $4. Licut. Marix, » navigator, had charge of the work, required o quartermaster, an as- sistant and and a fireman to run the en- gzine to take a sounding, which altogether Insts about one hour. Should the shot fail to discharge, as it did once during the cruise, the whole has to be wound up again by hand, which takes three hours for a depth of 3,000 fathoms, as the engine is not powerful'enough to wind up wire, shot and all. s SELLING WISDOM DIRT CHEAP.

He gave the young fel- low n wink, intonded to convey the hint that he was no spring chicken and it was a cold day when he got fooled. Tho young fellow, I suppose, saw what a soft mark he had, and the way he worked the old man was cruel. He took out a list of sccret receipts as long as your arm, and asked the old man to pick out what he wanted, The elderly victim selected asbout twenty, and was told he could have the lot for $5—less than half the price. To make a long story short, the old man gave up his $5 and took the outfit, a score or so of dirty, sealed envelopes’’ *I found him this morning,' continued the stranger, with a sigh, ‘looking over his purchnse and, as 1 sald, he was mad.

NORTHWEST NEBRASK tion Rushville a Growing Young City— Population Nearly Five Hundred, Rusnvirie, Neb., March 21.—[Corres- vondence of Tur Beg.]—Here in North west Nebraska, in a beautiful strip of agricultu country, 105 miles west of Valentine and 31 miles east of Chadron, lies the beautiful town of Rushville, a town whose existence dates back to July, 1885, and whose population now num- bers nearly 500 souls, all of the thrifty encrgetie and enterprising class whic compose the booming town of the west. Monied men from the east, whose desire had been to settle in a western town where the rush of life was perceptible, ha located here and built up a town, which now rivals all the neighboring ones, and which is composed of fine, costly buildings, equal to those found in the The buildir of Rushville numbe v hundred, and many more are under construction. Rushville is the county ses Sheridan county, a county whicli for agricultural purposes is eq ny in the state and super With wood and w ,and with land of as fine g any in the state, there is no_ doubt but what Sheridan county will, within the course of a few yc be at the head of all others in the o for farming and grazing. B ing anewly organized county, » the improy are not so tas those of olde ones, but will come time, and this county will nd forth as one without o in the northwest or, for that matter in the stute of Nebraska. What we now need here is more of the ne class of people as we already have—people who come here to make this country their fu- ture home and who wish to turn the pr ric into farms, and who are alive to ever interest which will make the country ns- sume a civilized s As we have be fore stated, Rushville is the county seat and is composed of as reliable and sub- stantial busin a y town need to have. Men whose ambition is for the future welfare of the place and prosperi- ty ot the country. Amongthe most prom- ment of the bu ss firms of the flourish- ing young city of Rushville 1s that of Morse & Shepherd, dealers in dry-goods and gro who a siock of 000 and upwards.

In the drug storoe, in conncction tierein, is a fine jow- elry store conducted by W. Willinms, Mosler & Tully, dealers in dry goods and general merchandise, has perhaps fine a stocked store as can be found in northwest Nebraska. It was with pleas- ure that we visited the above firm and noticed the heavy stocked store. They carry $20,000 worth of merchandise and their large commodious store room cost $3,000 more. They came here from Val- entine, but were formerly of Fremont and were the first firm to locate in Rushvills. Mr. Mosler has lateiy erected the fin and certainly the most costly residence in Sheridan county, the cost of which ex- ceeds $2,000. Hathaway & [ruitt, real estate dealers and land locaters, are doing a good busi ness. 'Ihey came to this place from V ley county, and are gentlemen of f class business ability. The abov commenced business here Aug. 1, Burnes & Godfrey, one of the oldest hardware firms in thé city, carry goods to the amount of $5,000 and have erceted building at an additional expes of $1,600. “Commencing business in May, 18%, they still hold the large busincss which they first attained. Emmett & McEachron js another drug firm who established their business here in April lust. Thoy carry $3,000 worth of drugs and fancy articles and their building was built at a cost of $2,000. The Parker house has accommod equal to any west of Omaha and the tray- cling public can do no better than to stop at this hotel while in Rushville. Sellors & Enderly keep a full supbly of general merchandise of all sorts and arc one of the largest dealors of me chandise of any in town. They located here in May nearly a year ago, and were formerly cngaged in business at Ains- worth.

Patterson, otherwise ‘“‘Judge” Patterson, has out his shingle, **attorncy- at-law, and 15 one of the most populir men in the northwest.

The Process of Painting Panotamas of Great Battles, A Profitabe Eunterprise For Artists and’ Proprictors, Knoxville Chronicle: The question ie a natural one as to how these great pano- ramas are made. *This is about the pro- cess: A hexagonal building of brick is constructed with dimensions generally about 150 feet in diamoter and walls say 50 feet in length. A conical roof, with sky light and cupola, surmounts the walls, A canvass of cotton cloth is then stretched inside the rough walls from ground to roof, but protected from touching the walls by a wooden framework, which is so fitted to the inequalties of the build- ing asto leave a° symmetrical inside sur- face on which the cloth is stretched. When complete there is a s in length by 50 in height, and con- taining 2,500 yards of cloth. This cloth avily sized with a heavy coating of glue and whiting, and over this a coating of puint, The surface, thus prepared, is then ready for the artists, The director- in-chief on the work of Shiloh, Second Bull Run, and the fight between the Mon- itor and Merrimac, was Theo. Phillpot, s. He brought with him as co thirteen skilled ar of whom was an expert. They have b engaged fourteen months in’ prody the panc already named. Their habit is to vi ttle fields selected for a painting, and spending five or six weeks in studying it and’ sketching it, The field is divided into sections, and each artist takes a section. He makes a sketeh of the surface of the ground, the the trees, the fences, the build- ing, and the camera of the photographer pays no insignificent art in this preliming work. These skotches by scetion are then read for the can rst of all the sky is painted in durable colors, then the land- seape, then trees, folinge, buildings, ete. Then ' come the artillery w: i mounted cannons, broken muskets, all the wreek which a great battle make of the inanimate machmery of w Then are painted the war horses in colors and sizes and attitudes, living and dead. Some look us large as clephants, and o the spectator, out of all proportion to their appropriate size, but this is necessity to lay the foundation for per spective t of all, the painters create the human_warriors. For this purpo: the artists themselves pose as models for o other—in a bayonet charge, in de- 1se, in retreat, at “rest, as wounded, as dying, as dead. ' The models of these Sol diers on the canvas, were living bodies, but the s on'the'bodies were evolved from the artists’ inner cons , and euch face in form and expression must differ from every other face. To enable all these artists to work on the convas at one time, a railway track is constructed upon which are placed movable staging of different heights, so that all seetions of the work can be reached. As each artist is unable to judge aceurately when standing close to the canvas, of the proper effectof his lights and shades, the superintendent, standing on the platform where the spec: tu will .-mmf. directs the processess— a little more red in such a spot, n little less brown in another, too much blue here, not enough of green there. He fights his buttle on canvas yery much as the commandment af the real forces fought his viz., through orders to his subordinates. After the canvass has heen completed, then comes the background—the biend- ing of real earth, and grass, and trees, and rocks, and straw: fences with shadowy ones, and the b ginning and ending of each, so artisti- cally done that the beholder ean dly distinguish the real from the imaginary line of scparation. _ All the arrangement of these ma jects are just as much the work of artist: the strokes of the brush upon the canv The foundation of that steep hill upon which is a living tree and wide-spreading branches, is a platform of hemlock boards with abou: two inches of earth scattered on top The roots of that tree are in a wash-tub un- derneath a wooden staging, and the moisture which keeps the tree alive goes into the tub underneath the staging through \v-\lm'-emm. When the foliage at last succumbs from lack of sunlight and fresh air, as it will, sprays of i showered upon the ith look like life kind pay the artis 1 judge for himself.

While preferring the climate of California to that of any oth state, they find great difliculty in making correct ealeulations in regard to the cost of building up a home and the length of time required to receive an income from their investment. 1 have b some excellent opportunities for studying this question i all its phases, in this state, as in many others, a great de of good government land unoceupied which may be had by homestead pre- emption. iu the northern part of the state_and in the foothills generally, the land is timbered and requires cle which will cost from § either in money or or. time will bo needssary for the pre of from ten to twenty acres ready for the plow.

The person who has no ns, or but a very limited amount, may build up a home on government land by six or eight years of patient la- bor, and by working for. his neighbor when he ean and working on his farm when he cannot get work out. Improved farm land can be bought near the rail- road at from 830 to $50 per acre. Now if the homeseeker would be content with a few acres he could on such land receive an income from the start, and by degrees get a vineyard or orchard planted, which would be in full bearing in four’ years Lot us suppose that the average yield of a fruit tree is 250 pounds, and for this you receive one-fifth of a cent per pound in the orchard; the result would be fifty cents per tree, and one hundred trees er acre would be $5 orty acres of ! nd cultivated in this way would bring a yearly return of $2,000, and be a sure and steady mcome.” Fruit-raising and vine-growing must and will be the prin- cipal industries in this state, and the home-sceker skonld bear this in mind and also the fact that it requires three to five years to rec i from that industry.
