R O A s e e A —— S | OMAH ARG EE: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1888, D e e e ————————————————m S S THE COUNCIL 1S SUSTAINED. Opinion of the Supreme Court in the Martin Case. OTHER DECISIONS RENDERED. More Petitions From Mismated Mortals Who Pine For Single Blessedness Again—Meeting of the Transportation Board. [PROM THE DEE'S LINCOLN DUREAT.] A decision in the case of Martin vs the state was handed down by the su- preme court yesterday, which contains an important interpretation of the Slo- cumb law. Martin operated the saloon in the St. Charles hotel in this city, and last sum- mer was found guilty in police court of violating the state law and ordinance. The police judge certified to the council the conviction, and that body, under the provigions in the Slocumb law, declared Martin’s license forfeited. The case was taken on an appeal to the district court and heard by Judge Chapman, who held that 1t was the duty of the council to revoke the license, and that &» Nearing on the question of revoca- tion was necessary., Upon this finding in the district courtanappenl was en 0 the supre court, and the decision «firming the lower cou was handed fown yesterday. The decision is as fol- lows: Martin v State. county, Affirmed. Error from Lancaster Opinion by Reese, 1. stion 92 of chapter 13 of the compiled statutes of 18 cities of the first class in this license conviction of any law, ordi nors. Wh of a license was convicted of the violation of the law pertaining to the sale of mtoxicating Tiauors in the police court of the ci coln, and the fact of such conviction wuas duly certified by the police judge to the mayor und council, it was held: Iirst, That the mayor and council were authorized and required to revoke the license | second, that no notice to the licensee of such proposéd action was necessary; third, that such revocation could be dec od by resolu- tion, and that the passage of an ordinunce Wa8 not necessary, 2. In such case, where the resolution die rocted the marsbal to notify the licensee that the license haa been revoked by the mayor and council, there couid be no_pre- sumption that the mayor was not present at such meeting, it being his ofticial duty to pro- side at all meetings of the council. (Max- well, J., dissents.) 8. 'Section 92, chapter 18, Compiled Stat- utes of 187" held constitutional. Bookwalter vs Lansing. Appeal from Lan- caster county. Affirmed. Opinion by Reese, Ch. J. 1. Where an agent for the sale of real es- tate conceals from s principa: material facts relative to the value of the property to be sold, and by u subterfuge fraudulently purchases the property from his principal in the n of another' for less than its value, the principal may, by proper proceedings in equity, rescind the sale and require a recon- veyauce of the property from the agent, But this rule would have no application if the agent, in good faith and without any design to obtain the property for himself, sold it to a purchaser, reported the sale to his prin- cipal, giving the terms and conditions thereof, and after the ratification of the sale by the principul, purchased the land from the party to whom it had been sold and received a con- veyance from him, o fraud having been per- potrated against his principal. 2. Questions of fact are for the trial court to determine, and a decision thereon will not bo molested by an appellate court unless manifestly wm;lr. Lavender vs Holmes and Boggs. Appeal from Lancaster county. Reversed and de- cree for plamtiff. Opinion by Reese, Ch. J. 1. Plainff instituted his action in tho dis- trict court to quiet his title to certain real estate to which defendants claimed titlo through o line of convoyances originating in a sherift’s deod on exccutions aguinst plain- tiff. The .deed to defendants from their grantor, by error in description, included & purt of plaintifts and not included in the sherifs deed, Held, that plaintiff was cn- titled to a degree quieting his title to that part not eonveyed by the sherifr. 2. Plaintiff, who was a defendant in cer- tain foreclostres and execution proceedings, employed an attorr represent him While under such employment and after the sale of plaintiff's real estate, the at- torney entered into a stipulation with the attor neys for the execution plaintifts, by which it 'was agreed that the sheriff’s sales should be confirmed and deeds executed to the pur- chasers, With some knowledge of the facts, plaintiff continued the attorney in his em- ploy. It was held that plaint could not. maintain an action to quiet his title against subsequent purchasers of the, real estute for value, upon_the ground of fraud and con- spiracy on the part of his attorney with the attorneys for the execution plaintiffs, without proving that the defendants had knowledge of such alleged fraud prior to the purchase of the land and the payment therefor, even though they held title by deed which did not contain the usual covenants of warranty, NUMEROUS PLEAS FOR DIVORCE, As the time for the sitting of the dis- trict court approaches the pleas for d vorce multiply. Ye: t--dnly three ad- ditional cases were filed. Tn the case of Minnie Dodge vs Lyman H. Dodge, the plaintiff alleges that they were married at Sturgis, Mich., in 1882; that in 1883 her husband violently abused her, strik- ing her in the face with his fist and call- ing her vile names, This practide he continued at frequent intervals and finally deserted her in November, 1887, and has since absented himself, compell- ing her to support herself. Benjamin F. Bockett sues for divorce from his wife, Florence Beckett. He says that they wero married 1n 1886 in Brooklyn, N. Y. On the 31st day of January last, the plaintiff affirms, and continuously since to the filing of this petition, his wife has been guilty of adultery with O. C. Sturnes at 1413 and 1428 Jackson street, Omaha. The real name of Sturnes, the plaintiff states, is unknown to him, and he lfurthor states that his wife has been guilty of adultery pre- ceding this time for three months past in Lancaster county. TRANSPORTATION MEETING. The state board of transportation met yuntufllu{(in an adjourned session from the week previous. The Biggs com- Kluiul for over charges made by the B. M. on shipments between Minden and Heartwell, was set for hearing at the rooms of the board, Thursday next. The clerk was instructed to correspond with different boards of trade throughout the state relative to the question of these bodies co-operating with the bo: of transportation in the work of issuing a new railroad map of the state, each rlnue to receive copies for general use n proportion to the amount invested in the work. Following this the board ssed the remainder of the day in an nformal discussion of freight rates and the proper reduction to be put into effect. Secretary Mason has prevared a new freight schedule which 'is pra tically identical with the rates in force in Towa prior to the recent reduction in that state. The discussion was largely upon this proposed rate sheet and the secretaries will ask the board atan early day to eundorse the tariff rates that they may agree upon. TO THE REFORM SCHOOL. About ten days ago two lads in the city, who were in the busingss of steal- ing hides and selling them, were ap- prehended by the police. The boy weso given a fncnring in court and s tenced to jail. Yesterday, bofore Judge Stewart, a writ of habeas corpus wus sworn out by the mother of one of the boys, John Thompson, that shé might have him sent to the reform school for o term there, in hopes of reformation, County Attorney Stearns agreed that the writ should be issued and the judge accordingly released the boy and sen- tenced him to the reform school, where he will be conducted to-day.

Starting For Europe She Lands in a New 0 at is a pathetic story ner, the wifd of the wealthy Nebraska farmer, who was rel d from the Hud- son county jai e days ago, where she had been ‘incarcerated as an insane per- son since December 12, 1887, <A woman leaves hier home ia a distant western town full of hopes and in the best of health, with nothing to prepe- cupy her but bright expectations, joy and happiness, to revisit her native country, where she was not only to have the pleasure of seeing many dear old friends, whose memory she had cher- ished for a score of years or more, but where she was also tor ve a legacy of some $9,000. She parts with her chil- dren and husband with affection and an- ticipates a most enjoyable trip. In order to make her journey comfort- able and to divest it of those little an- noyances incident to travel, her hus- band provides her with a return ticket, which was to have taken her to her des- tination and back home. She arrived in Hoboken after three days’ travel from Hooper, Dodge county, Neb, She goes to the ofiice of the North German Lloyd Steamship company in Hobokeu und sees Agent Bley. She wants to ex- change her ticket, as is required by the company. The steamer she was to have taken has been withdrawn. She must wait for the next. Meanwhile she leaves her ticket with the myent, saying. she would return the next day for the exchanged ticket. She disap- pears and nothing is heard of her until about seven weeks later, when she is discovered in the Hudson county jail, whither she has been sent as an_insane person by the Hoboken authorities. Then there is a great to do about her case. on investigation, but one conclusion {8 possible, and that is that the unfortunate woman suddenly be- came insane shortly after her arrival in Hoboken, Sergeant Marvell, of the Hoboken police station, who committed Murs. Wagner, told a Herald reporter: * “The woman was brought here by Po- liceman Kenny, who arrested her at the ferry, at the request of one of the employes of the North German Lloyd steamship company. She had behaved in such a manner that the company re- fused to let her go on the steamer. Her mind was certainly unbalanced when she was brought here. She appeared lonesome. Officer Kaiser, the court in- terpreter, tried to get some information from her,but she talked so incoherently that nothing could be gained by que: tioning her. All she would say was that she came from Nebraska. She moaned and wrung her hands con- stantly, and walked to and fro in her cell. We kept her here for twenty-four hours, and then sent her to the county jail for ten days, where she was to be examined as to her sanity.” Mr. Bley, the Hoboken passenger agentof the steamship company, wi asked: “Is it true, Mr. Bley, that your company refused to allow Mrs. Wagner to board the steamer beeause she was insane?” : No, sir, it is not,” was the answer. ‘“‘She called here on her arrival from »braska to change hert was to have gone on the Eide cember 17, but that steamer necessitating her w: wave. She left her ticket with me, saying she would return the next day, and I never saw her afterward till Febrhary 1, when I was instrumental in gotting “her out of jail. I gave hera ticket to get back to Nebraska, and she ought to be there by 8 o'clock to-night. “Iam sure she never was insane, She was only excited over the expecta- tion of seeing the old country again. Ve gave her in charge of the con- uctor.” As this did not agree with the police account, the reporter called at Judge Nelson's office. The judge has been credited with having been the main fuctor in_effecting Mrs. Wagner's re- lease. He was absent, but his brother, who represents him, said: “A prisoner named Basso, who had just served his sentence, came to us and told us that a Mrs. Wagner, a_perfectly sane woman, was detained in the county jail a8 an insane p We immediately interested our: in the case, neither knowing or caring whether would ever be remunerated for our scrvices. My brother saw her in jail and concluded at once that she was sane. She told him a pitiful stor: He at once tecok measures to secure he :'olon»su, which was effected on the lst nst. . T myself saw her after her release, and I can swear she was perfectly sane and rational. We at once telegraphed to her husband, stating the facts of the case. He auswered immediatoly, ex- pressing great surprise, as he thought she was in Germany by that time, and telling us that anything we would do for her comfort and return home would be handsomely remunerated by the Nebraska State bank. I saw a letter she wrote home while in jail inquiring about the children— how they {u\d enjoyed their Christmas, if they had had & Christmas tree, ete., and it was as rational a letter as you or I could write. She is a woman of plain appearance, and speaks English very imperfectly.” ailer Birdsall of the Hudson county jail suid: woman was insane be- yond a question. She would tear her clothes off and appear in the corridors. She tore her aLmvl into shreds, and sereamed nearly all the time. Idon’t think she is sane yet by any means, although somewhat ‘improved. After she had been here about ten days she wasable to tell us where she belonged. Then the doctor ordered her release. *We did not send her to the insane asylum because she was a non-resident, and because she was just as well off here. She spoke English fairly well, and had occasion to communicate with from thirty to one hundred persons dail 1If those ‘fake’ journals go far enough for me to reach them, I will at- tend to their case in & jiffy.” very iting for THE HEROINE FOND CROVS, Contributions Still Pouring in For the Benefit of the Teachers.

Iam a humble teacher, ‘with but little to give, but I cannot refrain from expressing my since thanks to you for your untiring and highly successful efforts in behalf of these dear girls. Miss Shattuck has passed beyond earthly aid to an eternal rest, but the substantial recognition of her bravery and suffering should go on, until the dear ones for whow she gave up her young life, are supplied with every comfort she would have given them had she the means. Miss Loie has been a dearly loved pupil of mine, and one I osuld admire as well as love, for such was her desire to acquire an educa- tion, that she came on her pony six miles every morning and returned in the evening. She 1s a handsome girl, the only child of poor but highly respected parents, who, I think, looked to her for help, the mother being in poor health. She is truly deserving of all that the liberal citizens of Nebraska can do for, and we hope she may live to enjoy the benefits of their liberality. Mus. W. W, Quivey, Miss Shattuck's Check.

FACTS FOR THE FARMER. *' ‘Dairying on Small Farms. Philadelphia Record:. Dairying and pasturing have been 5o long considered asone and the same occupation that but few farmers will venture to engage in the former without first large portion of the farm to grass upon which the cows may be allowed to graze during the day. When this method is changed for that of feeding at the barn- vard itis termed “soiling™ the cows, ven those who do not believe soiling an bo done profitably, involuntarily practice the soiling mothod to a cortain extent during the winter months, for at that time the snow covers the pas- ture ground and compels the dairyman to prepare food for the cows and’ give them his attention in the barn-yard. The principle objection to soiling is that it requires a large outlay for extra labor, yet there s as much profit derived from winter dairy- ing as there is during the summer. The real benefit is in the saving of manure, which is the most im- portant occupation on the farm, and the expense of providing long fonces is dono aw with. Practical experiments show that by the aid of the manure saved when soiling a sufficiency of green food can be grown on a small plat to feed quite a number of cows, as well as to provide a better variety of food and secure greater yields of milk and but- ter. Prof. Stewart, in his book on feed- ing animals, mentions how he fed four horses and seven cows for fifteen days on the food grown upon forty rods of ground; and he has estimated that forty rods will produce cnough to oqual tho summer feeding of one cow, but sets aside half an acre in clover as the allow- ance for a cow during the summer. This result is not the experiment of a single scason, but the work of fourteen yoars devoted to soiling, by which method the cows give 20 per cent moroe milk than when kept on pasture; and rye, clover, orchard grass, timothy, green oats and fodder corn, with ground hen required, compose the daily heigystOt AN one| Akt permits of the gradual accumulation of wealth in the annual increased fertility of the soil, and though extra labor may be necessary, yotit is more effectual in oporation, ‘as it is not distributed over a large space, consequently there is economizing in hauling loads to great distances over the fields. Soiling may not be profitable to those who have lenty of pasture and large trac and, but it will enable those having limited arcas to engage in dairying, when, by the proper application of labor, they may realize larger profits than those who devote more land to dairying but adhere to the pasturage system. Flax as a Profitable Crop. Practical Farmer: Flax is not exten- sively cultivated in the United States. 1t can be made a profitable crop, how- ever, awinfi to the high prices obtained for the sced, while the fiber may also be made a matter of profit. Those evho grow flax claim that it iseasy of cultiva- tion and subject to but fow obstacles, while the crop may be sown and har- vested within thrée months. It grows best on a mellow soil, but will grow on any soil that produces wheat, corn, oats or potatoes. In preparing the soil it should be well plowed and harrowed till fine and level. The best fertiiizer is wood ashes or potash salts. About three pecks of sced are required for an acre, and the yield usually averages fifteen bushels, the murkewPrlcu ranging from ll.wdtu $2 per bushel, according to de- mand, In putting down a crop offflax great care should be_exercised in selecting }:uod sound seed that is perfectly free rom the sced of weeds, or there will be trouble when the crop is matured, the sceds of weeds not being as easily sep- arated from flaxseed as from wheat or oats, and it is best to secure Kuropean grown seed if possible. The crop should be sown as early in the spring as the land will permit, ‘but slight carly frosts are not injurious. If the crop is cultivated for the fiber two bushels of seed shoutd be used. If grown for seed three pecks are sufficient, while if cul- tivated for both fiber and seed one bushel will answer. Tho crop is cut when the lower leaves of the plant bogin to wilt and drop off, the stalks then be- ginning to _turn to a light yellow and the seed bollsslightly brown. A scy of any kind of reaper may be used for cutting, the stalks being bound in bundles and stacked for threshing. With our ordinary ~ threshers the fibre is injured, but it answers for such purposes as making bagging,upholstery towl twine, ete., its value ranging from 3 to 35 per ton, though if properly pr pared, with delivery at linen “factorics, the fibre sells for about $25 per ton. The former treatment of flax was to rot it in order to separate the fibre, but in- vention now enables the grower to market the entire salk, providee it is not broken, as the factories can in a few hours do the entire work which usually required many days, a chemical process enabling the manufacturers to shake from the fibre all unvailable material, Leaving out the value of the fibre en- tirely, flax is a better crop than wheat, for the yield of seed is nearly tho same as that of wheat, while the value is nearly double. It is considered a very sure crop, and grows in so short a pe- riod of time as to allow of a crop of tur- nips following it. An acre will produce two tons of straw, which can be sold, even in itsinferior condition, for more than the cost of the labor. A bushel of seed will produce two gallons of oil, and the refuse 18 the celebrated oil caecs, now universally used for feeding. Tha crop is no morse exhausting to the soil than one crop of wheat or oats. We bring up the subject of flax be- cause late improvements enable the far- mer to grow the crop and realize from both the seed and v.‘m straw, provided the seed is separated without injuring the straw. This enables the crop to be placed among the standards to assist in the regular rotation. Considering that its Gbre, refuse straw, seeds and oil are all sulable, it equals the cotton crop for this various purposes, with the advant- age.of being grown easier than cotton, and in amuch shorter time, not omit- ting the fact also that it can be grown in many sections where cotton could not exist. 'In proportion to cost of produc- tion, it can be made more profitable than any of the field erops now grown. Breaking Heifers, American Agriculturist: Some cows may be naturally vicious, but nearly always viciousness is the result of ill- treatment, ving is a severe nervous strain, and leaves the cow nervous and irrvitable. If the calf is her first one she is very much afraid that it will be injured; in this she is like all young mothers. Milking is an entirely new operation to her; likely drawing the milk from her udder gives her pain. Her condition, her fears, and the opera- tion, all call for the exer:ise of the greatest patience and gentleness. But instead her solicitude for her calf is re- sented; il she shows shyness when it is attempted to milk her—un operation which she knows nothing of, and which her instinet to nourish her offspring would cause ‘her not to submit to readily—she Is scolded; if the pain caused by the milk being drawn dovoting a | ledds heor to kick she 18 kicked in re- turn. Thus her fright and nervousness are incrensod and soon she is angered. If this treatment is continued she is made vicious; and we have never known | of a heifer being conquered in this way. Her tempor _is ruined; and n cow no matter how liberal a milker she may be, is fit for tho shambles only if she 18 vie cious, It is no rare thing for a man to throw 850 to the wind by strikinga young cow. Some years ngo we bought five heifers’ about to calve, and that had never been handled, and the plan we adopted has proven so satisfactory that we have made use of iton like occasions ever since. We built a high pen, ton feot square, of rails, driving a stake down outside of each corner, to make tho pen sceure, and making a “slip gap” in one side. The calf, whega day old, was set in the pen, the gap Ming open. The mother at once (ullnm-.! the calf. Then the calf was taken out of the pen and the gap closed. Next we ente the pen, speaking gently all the time to the cow. As Soon as we laia our hand on her side she started to vun around the pen. We could keep our hand on her side by moving ina much smaller cirelo, and soon she tived hersell out and stopped. Then we patted her flank lightly, spoke to her gently, and soon could ‘put our hand on any part of her body. But when we grasped a teat the trip agound the pen began, but soon we could handlo her udder without any remonstranco from her. When we tried to deaw tho milk there was a third trip around the pen, and this terminated as the others had, and in half an hour after the cow had walked into the pen she was milked clean, and without o harsh word or a blow. In three days the cow could bo milked anywhere in the lot. We have broken (if broken is the proper term to use) upward of a score of heifers sinee then that gave evidence of being ripe for viciousness, and better dispositioned cows we never had, Of course, all heifors should be handled until they are quite gentle; yet very fow will nover have ocdasion to put to'good use the plan above givi Hints and Suggestions. Every hen-house should be kept ns warm as possible. Kggs cannot be got when they sell highest unless the poul- try be fed comfortable and fed properly. The following is said to be an excel- lent food for bours: Take corn and rye, or wheat, of one part, and oats four parts. Grind this fine, and to it add as much bran as there isof the feed. There is just asmuch in knowing how to feed hens as there is in knowing how to feed any oth: wm stock. This is the next importan item to look after as soon us good houses shall have been provided. At the late convention of farmers at Hartford, Conn., Professor Alvord re- marked that the influence of the breed on the constitution of butter was of the highest order, and that food was of com- paratively small effect. To sum up profitable stock farming in a few words: Breed good stock, horses, cattle, sheep and swine; feed, water and shelter them properly and hygienibally, and do not too much put your whole energy upon one kind of sto Of two colts similar in disposition and sense, one may develop Into a steady and valuable family horse, whilo the other may be everything that is vicious, treacherous and unsafe—all because of adifference in the men handling them. Fowls cannot possibly thrive and do well if they be compelled to stand around in the mud and filth all day long. They must have a place to scratch and exercise: The horse stable is a most excellent place for them to range in if allowable. ‘What the colt wants is plenty of exer- cise, a clean place to sleep, sheltor from bitter storms, plenty of good grass of different varioties, good clonn hay with- out dust, and good, sound oats. =~ Colts raised in this way will not look so well, nor win as many premiums, nor sell for as much money, but they will last. There is no_standard percentago of butter as to milk. Milk varies in the amount of butter it contains during the season. In the autumn, when cows give less milk, the percentage of butter is twice as much s it 15 when the flow is the greatest. Cows differ, as it takes oll the way from five pounds to twenty- four pounds of milk to make one of but- ter. The honey extractor is simply a can i volving frame. Into this ving frame the frames of of honey are placed aud rapidly revolved. or whirled avound by turning a crank. The centrifugal force throws the honey from the cells without breaking or in any way injuring the combs. The combs can be returned to the hive to be again filled with honey. Prof. Henry, of the university of Wis- consin, who is well know as & conserva- tive and carcful agricultural experi- menter, advises, where cornstalks are to furnish the principal rough food, the following as a day’s ration for a cow, to be fed at two or three feeds: Corn stocks cut, fifteen to cighteen pounds; clover hay, five pounds; bran, six pounds; corn’ meal, four pounds. The practical benefit to be derived from raising good stock depends,among other things, upon the treatment 1e- ceived at the owner’s hands, Blood and breeding und rare natural capucity are powerless to contribute to successful stock raising unless accompunied by the co-operation of humane thoughtfulness, intelligent management and regular care.
