~ ” DENOUNCING THE TORY PARTY Ringing Resolutions Adopted By the Irish Land League at Lincoln, THE RECENT PROCLAMATION, Lord Salisbury Declared Responsible for any Violence Which its Operas tion May Provoke Among the Irish—Capital City News. [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.} One of the largest meetings of the Lin- coln Land league in the history of the ization was held Siunday afternoon tzgerald ball and the session was of un interesting character from commence- ment to close. A quartette of singers rendered an acceptable song service and Mr. Butler, Mr. Sutton, Judge Hilton and others were among those who spoke and took part in the discussions. Pat- riek an presided at the meeting and spoke emphatically upon the recent action of the tory government in its deal- fngs with Ireland. Resolutions were adopted expressing the sentiment of the league upon the recent proclamation, and the resolutions were endorsed by the ofticiais of the National league in attend- ance. The resolutions are as follows Wlhereas, ‘Uine British government has pro- claimed the Irish National learue and thereby trampled on the last shred of political as well as personal liberty in that country, placing the lives and property of the people at the mercy oi a rutlianly “police and a resident maistracy many of whom are known to be men of the most dissolute and immoral char- acter and, Whereas, According tothe judges of Ire- Jand, who are appointed and paid by the gov- ernnment, there s an almost total absence of crime in the country and therefore no justiti- cation of the action of the tory government, Resolved, That we denounce this open and undisguised attempt of the British govern ment to stifle the legitimate agitation of the Irish people for the amelioration of their country, as a wicked and criminal design to zoad the people into the commission of acts that may give opportunities to the enemies of Ireland to slaughter a hslpless and un- armed people, Resolved, That we hold the cabinent of Lord Salisbury “morally responsible to the civilized world for any deeds of retaliation th ay result from the suppression of open zal agitation, and that in advance we appeal to the conscience of America for an endorsement of the honest and moral aspect of Ireland’s constitutional “struggle for her first and legitimate n‘r’ms‘ and we will ask our American friends to remember that while violence is at all times tobe regretted, no nation can lle down and tamely submit to the murder of its feaula. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to stand by the Irish people and never relax "our efforts to assist them until their enemies shall have met the destruction they have courted and richly deserved. EXETER MINING COMPANY. Citizens of Exeter are about to embark in the mining business on an extensive scale, judging from the following articles of incorporation filed with the secretar, of state yesterday. The company is oalled the Exeter Mining company, with the principal office at Exeter, Neb., and a proviso for branch oflices at Bear City, Ark., Hot Springs, Ark., and at Chicago and New York. The object of the com- nllf is to buy, develop and operate min- m.z( ands presumably in the state of Arkansas; for the work they have a capital stock of $3,000,000, and as the shares are $10 each, anyone can take some stock. Of the bonds, $1,500,000 is to be sct aside ns & treasury stock, and the indebtedness is limited to §5,000. The company is to commence business as 8oon as the articles are filed in the state of Arkansas, and the date is fixed for September 1. A bourd of nine directors have charge of the business, and the fol- lowing aro the ncorporators: Jacob gflu ., T. H. L. Lee, Dr. J. C. Russell, F. . Zerka, T. B. Farmer, P. J. Faling, W. . Pardee, T. C. McClery, D. H. Mul- nolland, D. H. Wentworth, C. A. Song- ster. Ed J. Conger, J. M. Brumbaugh and E. Sandrock. TWO PLEAS FOR DIVORCE. Arizona J. Yates has filed her petition in the district scourt for divorce from her husband, Milo H. Yates, The petition tells o tale of abuse and wrong that is fully up to the average of like ducuments, The plaintiff recites that they were mar- yied in July, 1883, and that for the last two years he hus deserted her; that be- fore that he abused her, drove her from home and used viloe and abusive lan- uage. The plaintiff also states that on he 25th of December, 1886, the defend- ant committed adultery in Lincoln witk one Sallie Kane and that on or about the 26th of February, 1887, he committed adultery with one Carrie Thrasher in Saunders county. For these reasons the plaintiff asks the divorce and the custody and care of her child, Wilmer Mayes has filed his petition for divorce against his wife, Etta Mayes. They were married in 1880 in Woodford county, Illinois, and in 1883 were living at Pleasant Dale, Seward county. At that time the plaintiff alleges that his wife threatened his life at divers times: that she used foul and abusive language to him; that in those days and subsequent ones in this county that she threatened to carve him with o butcher knife, threw hot tea in his face, threw down and broke the stove, threatened to brain the children, threatened to shoot out his liver and committed ndulwriy..l"or this cata- logue of crimes he belicves himself en- titled to a divorce. PRIMARY ELECTION LAW. At the coming primaries of the republi- cans of Lancasler county the new primary election law introduced and passed through the last legislature by Mr. Raymond will for the first time be practically :tested and its merits be un- derstood. The law vprescribes heavy penalties for illegal voting at primarics and gives the party a chahce to protect itself from the element who disown their party and publicly espouse candidates of other parties. There is an interestin, goction in the municipal acts in regar: to primaries that if endorsed by an or- dinance would make it interesting for the parties who openly opposed the party eandidate last spring. CHINESE GAMBLERS. Sundn{ uight the police fell upon a Chinese laundry opposite the Windsor hotel where ten celestials were beguiling the time in some kind of a game pecu- liarly their own. The police raided them for gambhing and the natives of the enst rro!vslml tong and loud at the proceed- ngs bul they were marcbed to jail where after a short time their brethren in the city came to their rescue and by deposit- ing cash and collarteral secured their re- lease on bail. Yesterday morning the ten heathens appeared in court and were discharged. And reform goes march- ing on. BURGLARS AT WORK. Yesterday morning hetween the hours of 2 and ¥ s. m,, burglars invaded the premises of Mr. Masterman, hiving on C street, and, wile they did not secure much booty, they escaped without trouble. Their manner of work was to u]mn & screen near the bed where Mr, Masterman was sleeping. They then passed s hanakerchiet saturated with chloroform and laid it near his face. They then ransacked the house, getting a little change, a silver watch and a tew minor articles. In the morning. when the raid was discoyered, the old gentle- man was stiil under the influence of chlo- roform and utterly ignorant of the go- ngs on. BRIEF ITEMS, In Euliee court yesterday there was a well tilled docket™ for the judge to pass Eight drunks were quiekly dis- of with the usual tines and costs. 'wo colored women, charged with being upon. prostitutes, had their hearing. One was fined and the other discharged. Charles Anderson, arrested for being drank and using obscene language, was discharged on account of sickness, These cases, with the ten Chinamen, comprised the grist, It has develoned that the man who was iguniting barns Saturday night was discovered in the act at one place and chased by a citizen and shot at. He was fleet of foot however, and escaped, running directly to the crowd an unvnninfi; in this manner. The police were not on hand or he might have been captured, The contest for the republican nomina- tion for sheriff’ cleared somewhat yester- day by the withdrawal of Tom Carr from the race. Carr lives in the First ward and it was thought that the contest there would be animated. As it is, however, it is generally thought that the delega- tion from there will be for Alva Smith, Fred A. Hovey and B. F. McCall are two Lincoln citizens who are interestad in the big natural gas wells at Paola, Kan. A short time ago they visited the wells and have been visited in turn by the owners who have disposed of an interest to them. A very large force of men were at work yesterday o tendinf the rapid transit street car line south from Twelfth and N streets to C street. The work of track-laying north from the, centre of the city is practically completed. Burglars_attempted to effect an en- trance to Policoman Bates' house Sun- day night. They are evidently new hands at the business and run futo as little danger as possible. ol THE CLOWN'S BRIDE. Romance of a Young Nebraska Couple.

We had a neighbor whose daughter won my fancy. She was beautiful, vivacious, and just such a girl as to win the atten- tion of a guileless youth like myself. Young love ran blindly along until my father discovered that the neighbor’s pretty daughter and myself were engaged to marry. However, this betrothal, or what {nn may call it, did not take place until 1863, when 1 was about 18 years old. My father made it a hively cngage- ment for me, and finally succeeded in blasting my hopes. ‘Ihe young lady and made several attempts at elopement, but he always frus- trated them. My love dream continued, with repeated interruptions, until the neighbor’s daughter left home and went to Omaha, where she took service in a botel. Her people were poor. It Lecame necessary for her to earn her own living. As I had nothing without my father's assistance to support a wife, we con- cluded to wait a year or two longer, and in the mean time she was to work and save for the common fund upon which we expected to go housckeeping.” “What will be the result?” the inquired. “I'am coming to that. romance of my sto iscf it, a fow months when she wrote me that she had married a circus clown, and was preparing to take her place in Orton's friend In or what little there My promiscd wife had gone but it lies the show. 1 was sorely grieved for a time, while my father was greatly elated.” “Did you ever see her again?’ “Did i? Well, I do not t to see her again under such ecircumstances. One day, two or three years after that, 1 was in Omaha., A circus was in town, Cole’s, as well as 1 can recollect. While on the way to the show ground® [ unex- pectedly overtook my old sweetheart and her husband the clown. The meeting was friendly enough. Both of us had re- covered from our youthful infatuation, and we could meet without embarrass- ment. We three walked together to the circus, but the uffairs of the old neighborhood and old times which my once promised bride and myself recounted were not interesting to the husband., Directly he said: ‘You take Nellie down to the show. I have to £o back to the hotel.’” 1 did so, and went into the dressing tent on her invi- tation. Thad been about two minutes among the horses and elephants, talking to Nellie before she went into the women’s apartment, when I rececived a terrific blow back of the ear. It knocked me sprawling, dangerdusly neat to the feet of a huge elephant. Nellie scfeamed, assisted by the other women, and a halt dozen strong armed canvasmen rushed in, and seeing me, the stranger 1n tl camp, started to beat out what little life was left ;n me. The womeh interferred, the bellowing elephant got loose, the horses cavorted, and 1n the menagerie the lions and tigers roared, the mounkeys chattered, and the deuce was to pay.” “Well, what did you do?” “What did I do?” Why I sneaked out while the uproar was at its height. Do ou think 1 was going to stay there and fie knocked down again by an iron- iawud, copper-bound cannon ball per- lormer supported by a half dozen brawny and murderous fooking canvasmen. From that day to this 1 don’t know whether it was accident or the jealousy of the husband that caused my suffering. I am sure ho had no reason tofear Nellie and I running away. Both of us had ot bravely over our young love's dream, never saw her lguin until twelve years later, when Coup's circus came here. took my wife to the show in the after- noon, and when the trapeze act came on s0 did Nellie to my surprise.

Of course, [ went to the circus again that might and saw Nellie. She was still beautiful, win- ning, and entertaining, asIfound in calling on her 1n the dressing tent. Since 1 had seen her on that memorable day in Omaha she had been around the world and came back with a net saving of $50,000.

A Sad but Romantic Story of a Prus- sian Fhysician, A special dispatch from Philadelphia says: A strange romance of actual life came to light in this city ym\!erdn{. when Dr. Daniel Kuhiman, until recently a prominent physician of l\’asninfislmrg, Prussia, told the officials of the Hebrew immigrant society the story of his ban- ishment from the country ‘of his adop- tion and expatriation from his native Jand. When the doctor found here the first friendly hand that had been oxtended to him after two years of persistent perse- cution, he was in a condition that bor- dered on starvation, and s statement tisat his children were literally dying for food was corroberated when they were visited in a little lodging-house in an obscure section of the city. For sev- the family had been huddied in 'oom in the immigrant quarter, nd their sole sustenance was bread, with now and then a cup of coffec fur- nished by some compassionate neighbor, Here is in brief the story gleaned by the good Samaritan, who gave succor to the warrders when the only alternative seemed despair and death. krom the past twenty-two years, until within a few months, Dr. Kuhlman has been a resident of Koeningsburg, Prussia, to which town he had gone a young man in pursuit of knowlege of the world, He was born . Kieve, Russia, and Koen- ingsburz was the first step in his jour- ney. Here he was enchained by a pair of “bright bl eyes, whose owner he subsequently married. He raised an un- usually intelligent family of children and prospered in this world's goods. ¥ LESS AND FRIENDLESS, Yesterday he and his wife were found on the streets of this ¥, pennil friendless and bewildered in theix cou pte ignoranc language, victims of a re arbaric Germany, » edict of expulsion of all but her izens from her boundaries was ued about two years ago.

IHis two older children, daughters aged thirteen and ten, were given the attention and edu tion provided by the bost public schools, supplemented by the instruction of pri ate tutors i all the higher accomplish- ments withia the reacn of the wealthy. Dr. Kuhlman’'s first cfiort, after receiv- ing notice to leave, wis to sceure a revo- cation of the edict, so far as it applied to himsclf. This he very quickly discovered he could not effect, “notwithstanding all the influence of the many friends he had made in his twenty-yc sojourn 1n Koeningsburg, and the intluence of his wife's family and fricnds were brought to bear unon the government ofli 8. Before taking his final departure an alternative, 1 the interest of his wife by cause she was a German, and of his chil- dren because they had a German mother, was presented to him. He must go into exile under any circumstances, but his wilfe and children might remain provided he would consent to a divorce. The re- fusal of the family was as indignant as it wus prompt. DRIVEN FROM HIS COUNTEY, He bought a short extension of time for lus famuly and returned to Russia to scek a home in his native land. Here he wus met with an edict as rigid as that he was forced to bow to. “You hs riven German aid the customs official, “the best years of your life, in which you might have been of service at home, and you cannot now come back here." “While he was in Russia secking to acquire official i i and family were arrested by th and under military e the Russian frontier, o pense, and landed the authorities said: “She is a German woman; she must go back where she belongs.” The distracted mother return- ed to Koenigsbur Dr. Kublman, hay- ing u passport from neither Russia nor Prussia,bribed his y back i i Ho remoyed the to Berlin, wh took modest apartments and suce in evading the authorities for six montns. ‘I'hey had just begun to feel confident in their security when an army ofheer entered their door and laconically an- nounced: “If the government will not allow you to live in Koenigsburg, it will not allow you to live in Brrlin, ‘The persecuted family moved to Ham- burg.

FARMERS, An Inexponsive and Novel Mothod of Irri gation, BREEDING DRAFT Can Farmers Afford to Ralso Pure- bred Cattle—Practical Breeds ing—Hints on Poultry. HORSES. Breeding Draft Horses. Western Agriculturist: The success of the draft horse breeding 1 the western states has doubled the value of our horse, and it is the increased value that is the profit. The low prico of grain, beef, pork and every other farm product finds the demand ‘for the heavy grade draft horses greater than the supply, and prices maintained at what the buyers call big prices. The western states have taken the lead, because our enterprising farmers have liborally used the imported draft stallions to grade up as fast as pos- sible. The enstern states and Canada rely more on breeding to grades and fast horses. The draft horse breeding not only gives greater profits than any other stock or farm products, but it has elevated the standard of horse breeding. gives greater dignity and benefits, there is no jockey- g or gambling about it, the best men of the land are engaged in breeding and importing draft horses. At our best fairs and stock shows the draft horses are he leading attraction, The drafy horse sells for more money per pound that any other stock rased on the farm, and is in active demand all over the world. He is a staple product, good as gold everywhere, More imvportations of draft horses this year than ever before, more importers nd larger importations, mark the pro- gress of the greatest financial factor of western farmers, and yet the demand in- creases faster than the supply. The Inrger cities everywhere are eager for the heavy high grade draft horses. The importer sells ull he imports at good l:ricrs and benefits the country; the reeder who buys an imported stallion makes money and benefits the commu- nity; the farmer who breeds to the im- ported stallion makes more money with his grade draft horses thau in raising any other stock; and the dealer who buys the grades makes more money than with any other stock. All along the line all who are engaged in the importing, brvmliuf, raising, buy- ing, selling or using the draft horse make money and benefit themselves and their country. Novel Irrigation Method. an Francisco Chronicle: It might have been supposed that in Califoria, where so larze a scction is absolutely worthless without the use of water for irrigation, about all had been learned with reference to the avpheation of moisture to growing crops that was pos- All sorts of experiments have been :d, mainly with the view of making a modicum of water suflice for a maximum of area. And as the demand for water increases each year with the increa: f ion, while the water supply re- the 'same level, anything which will holp to show how economy may be practiced in this matter will be of inter- est. It remains for a Texas farmer to hit upon an entirely new scheme, and one which seems feasible as well as valuable, This is simply a cheap and rough appli- cation of the prineiple of underground irrigation, whose value has been so amply demonstrated by A, N. Cole, the in ventor of whatis known as the ‘“new agriculture.”” The Texas man, it seems, found that the laying of tile or construc- tion of trenches for underground irriga- tion was altogether too expensive a pro- cess, so he put his wits to work and evolved a method which scems to be distinetly his own. Everything planted was grown upon ridgzes measuring about two and a half feet from center to cen- ter. The ground first manured, then plowed and harrowed thoroughly and then thrown mnto these ridges A layer of conrse hay or straw was then put in the furrows between the ridges, well tramped down, and the ridges were split open with a turning plow, thus covering the straw completely, though very thinly in the center, which'is a desirable point. The crop was then planted, and then over the entire surface of the field a mulch of straw or coarse hay was spread. When water was needed by~ the growing crop it was turned on at the highest level and readily worked its way down through the layers of straw underneath the s8oil = between the rows. The surface mulching prevented the growth of weeds, winle the water readily percolated through the soil to the Toots of the plants. Phero was no sarplus moisture on the surface to cause the ground to dry out and crack open, but on the contrary the soil remamned 1 the very best possible condition all through the on and did not require a quarter of the attention that must be given where surface irrigation 18 prac- tced. After the crop 1s off, the tield should be plowed, which will' turn the mulching under, where it will decay and leave the soil in good condition for next season’s crop, This example is certainly an easy and inexpensive one to follow, and it would not be amiss for someof the farmers in the irrigated belt to try it. The straw left every season by the threshers and generally burned, would answer admir- ably for filling the furrows and no great amount of labor need be involved in making the experiment, while, judging by the Texan’s experience, there can be no failure. Can Farmers Afford to bred Cattle? National Live Stock Journal: Those who attend fairs will frequently hear the remark made by farmers, that™ they can not afford to ra pure-bred cattle, be cuuse they require so much cial feeding. This conelu s reached because they see animals fitted for the show ring, excessively fat a well groomed. And yet, in the majority of c if they would visit the herds from which these representatives come, they would find them turned out and having, unless the pastures are very short on ac- count of the drought, no other feed than grass. They receive just such treat—| ment as any farmer who has pasture land could give them during the grazing season, and when winter comes they require only such shelier and care as ought to be given common cattle. To be sure they will not thrive when ne- flvcllul, exposed to cold and storms, and ed scanty rations, or required to depend on the stalk fields for a living through the winter, but neither is there any profit in raising common _cattle in this way, Well bred cattle will, when treated as cattle should be, return a better profit for tho care and food given, as any farm- er can easily prove by securing a few and iving them a trial. "He will never find a Eaner time to demonstrate this than the present, when good selections can made at quite moderate prices. Ralse Pure- Practical Breeding. Western Agriculturahst; A vigorous, woll developed animal, with strong con- stitution, is ll'h{! essential to good breeding. The richest pedigree often is feeble in consutution from the very fact of its long line breeding and too many of our breedors are following the pedi- gree at the cxpense of the individual merit and bardy constitution. There are some of the fashionable breeders who have followed a certain lime of brecding and a cortain color uatil they havo httle else but pedigree and color. But our western farmers as a class are purely practical, and while they ‘want good breeding, properl recorded, they must have & good individual amimal. 1t 18 possible to combine the bést indi- viduals with the best breeding, and there 1n lies the skill of the successful breeder to retain the strong constitution with the model individual excellence in all its out- lines. \'ifi?rnus, robust and early ma- turing with the richest breeding, such animals in horses, cattle, sheep and hogs are always the most valuable breeding, and when such animals are j\ulirinusfy bred and properly reared, with all the good grass and pure air possible, the re- sult is satisfactory, Our English exchanges are accusing the American breeders of being cranky nbod\n pedigrees. Recently one of them said: “Weediness and lightness, produced by long and close ancestry—often further developed by ungenerous rearing, curi- ously enough reproduce themselves more eftectually by the impressiveness of the sire, which is naturally caused by its high or close breeding. *‘In cattle the same results may be ©b- served in the more fashionable lines of blood, which our American cousins have run to tne very verge of destruction. Leicester sheep are rapidly becomin, scarce and the more recently develope Shorpshire is already beginning to show of degeneracy: irculars issued by bacon factors ers to produce deep sides and not fat backs show the want of thought in our breeders and errors of judgment in the show rings. “The late Mr. Bowly, of Gloucester- shire, a fine specimen of an Englishman, and a man of practical experience, from farming to fox hunting, breeding to banking, in a public speech once said ‘that when he first brought short-horns into the county, his neighbors told him he must bring’ blankets with them. He very soon bred them with hairy blankets on them; but the americans and fashion would not let him breed as he liked. The stakes were too greal. If they would only let him breed us he hked, he would pro- duce far better specimens than he was goIng to put betore them that day.’ Mr, Thornton has often smd, although in- breeding is the sceret of suce v is more frequently the cause of failure.’ Poultry Hints, American Poultry Yar ‘It is said that the reletive cost of raising a pound of pork and a vound of chicken 15 a8 three is to four, that is, if & pound of pork costs six cents, a pound of chicken will cost eight. But winle the cost of production is so nearly alike, the price realized is about in the ratio alike, the price realized is about in the ratio ot one to three, or, in other words, when pork sells at six cents a pound, chickens will bring eighteen cents a pound. Less “‘hog and hominy” and more roast chicken for us. It 19 said that fowls supplied with fine cut rowen hay never contract the habit of ‘pulling feathers. The hay probably satisfies the craving for a bulky diet that is, not without reason, supposed to lead to feather pulling, and also furnishes employment to the fowls in the days of enforced idleness. 1t certainly 15 worth a trial, ospecially as it costs next to noth- ing, and is & valuuble addition to the diet. Clover is an excellent “‘egg food,” sup- plying many of the clements which are found in the egg. Ladies who experience a sense of weakness and sometimes lameness in the back should wuse Dr. J. H. McLain's Strengthening Cordial and Blood Pari- fier, it will supply the much needed strength and overcome all weakening irregularities. e —— Collecting a Judgment, Lyons New York Republican: They ‘Lown of Huron. Several months ago ho was given & judgment of §20 against a “respectable” dead-beat in that town. The constable was offered more that his usual fee if he should collect the money, and he spent weeks in looking for pro- verty upon which'to make a levy. But all in vain; his efforts were only ridiculed. Then he resolved to make a levy anyhow. He learned vhat his man was accustomed to go to Sodus Bay for & swim with friends every Saturday evening, and he watched his chauce. It came last Saturday when he crept steathily up to the spot where the man's clothes were lying upon the bank, while their owner was disportin, in the water below. An armful o the ciothing, hat, shoes and all, was hast- ily gathered up by the constable, who ghouted to his victim that he guessed he was ‘‘onto’’ him at last. Protests and threats trom the angry man 1 the water were of no avail. A parley of an hour ensued, during which the constable clung to the clothes, while the unhappy debtor sat in the tall grass, clad only in his inno- cence. Finally one of the man’s compan- ions, a responsible citizen, took pity on him and agreed to pay the debt with costs, whereupon the clothes were deliv- ered over to the smivering defendant. e e——— Electric Lustre Starchis the Best Laun- dry Starch in tho world. : EDUCATIONAL. _ PENNSYLVANIA Jiiety.
