This added at once several million dollars to the valuation of Council Bluffs realty. In notasin gle instance has there been any recession of values, but on the coutrary o continuous healthy increase., Considering the fact that real estate values are still ridieulously out of proportion to similarly situated property in Omaha, thete is nothing visiblo in the next ten years to indicatea halt in this healthy growth, More than this, I am confident now re on thevergeof another boom that © realty another spurt and create an- other season of remarkable activity.

Cuinent:ox, Hitekeock County, Neh., Feb, 18.—To the Editor of Tur Bee. have Justread A, B. Charde's letter in Turz Bee of Fobruary 0 and am astonished that you would print such a terrible thrust at western Nebraska. Is ituota fact that Tue Ber has thousands of patrons in western Nobraska, who, misguided as they are, contribute liber- ally to the support of Tug Ber, and has not Tue B printed many artictes laudatory of western Nebraska calculated to induce set- tlers to settleupon its desert lands? Does e Bee not full well know that forsix years we have raised full and abundant crops of corn, wheat, rye, flax and all crops grown in Nebraska, and that the crop of 1890 was our first failure! His letter smacks of bpigotry, selfisiness aud injustice, to say nothing of the falsehood that it is, and is made up of the phraseology of the former cattlemen of this country. He would have all emigration stop east of the center of the state and divert all capital from us, and willingly break down the west for the building ufiur the east. The western purt of Nebraska is just as 800d as the eastern, and will make ust as good n showing when settled as long as that part has been, 1 have boon horo six years and have made monay by farming. ‘Wants an Increase Also, LaxcoLy, Neb,, Feb, 15,—[Special to Tie Bee.|—The superintendent of public instruc- tion, Mr. A, K.

After scveral regulation speeches had been mude, Representative Newberry of Hamilton was callod out and proceeded to state his viewson the subject 1 a firm and gentlemanly way. Among othor things he said that he traveled over Wash- ington territory when woman suffrage pre- vailed and found saloons in _abundance, and questioned whether the morals of the people would bo improved if women voted. These remarks wero the signals for anoutbusst such ns has been seldom w nessed, Men hooted and jeered, and gray- haied women and young girls hissed the speaker until the noise faily drowned his voice, remainder of the meeting was taken Mrs. King and others, who launched wild tirade of abuse and denunci- ation seldom heard at a political gathering, much less at a semi-religious meeting on Sun- day. It'is the opinion that they injured their cause very much by their unreasonable and intolerant conduct, and it is doubtfulif the members of the legislature, except Porter, Scott, Modie and a few other independents who have deserted their party and gone over to the prohibitionists, can be prevailed upon toattend the meetings in the future. Legislative Echoes, Speaker Elaer has introduced a bill to pro- hibit free passes to all except railroad em- ployes, The bill makes the giving or accopting of a free pass or ride by any one, with the exception noted above, & misdemeanor, pun- ished by a tine not exceeding $300. The speaker will push bis bill very earnestly and says b2 belioves it will become a law., Representative Storm (ind.) of Nemaha made a very strong and convincing speech in opposition “to dropping the contest against Church Howe. Ho said the H)m)plll of Nem ha county had come here, aud asked permis- sion to bring witnesses before the committco on privileges and elections and prove that money had been used 1 that county to cor- rupt the electors and bribe men to vote for Howe. They professed to have plenty of testimony to substantiate their charges, and in all fairness they ought to have a right to do so; that to adont the minority report would not vindicate the sitting member, but would deny a right to the contestants guar- anteed to them by the constitution and tho laws, and which are in accordance with tho principles of equity and justice. The nouse committeé on constitutional amendments has finally decided’ by a vote of 0to3to recommend that all fecs derived from saloon licenses shall be turned into the general school fund of the state and taken away from the educational fund of the munic palities that grant the licenses, The sub- Ject will be presented in the form of a consti- tutional amendment. T'wo sessions were held on Saturday, as usual, Representative Herman of Saline often presides, at the request of Speaker Eidor, and makes a very ucceptable presiding offi- cor. The woman suffrage bill was placed on the general file, by special request of its advo- cates and by the votes of nearly twenty mem- bers who are unalterably opnosed to the measure.

Wasmivaroy, Fe The encrgy dis- played by congress during the past week in action upon the general appropriation bills has had the result of placing theso measures in astateof forwardness that compared fa- vorably with therecord of the preceding congross in the short session. The copy- right billis unfinished business before the senate. Hall has stated his intention to call upthe diplomatic appropriation bill tomor- row, but as the friends of the copyright bill are confident that the measure isin such shape that it connot consume much more time, it will probably bo brought to a final vote before tho diplomatic billis taken up. The republican caucus list of measures selected for consideration in in. tervals between discussion on appropriation bills is as follows: Indian depredations bill, Nicaragua canal bill, Paddock pure food and Conger lard bills, army reorcanization bill, inter-state commerce bill, jand court bill, bankruptey bill, revenue marine bill and the Pacific funding bill. How far in this pro- gramme the senate may proceed will depend on the amount of time occupled by the appro- priation bills, In the houso it is confidently expected that by the end of tho week tho general doticiency bill will be the only one of the regular anoual bills unacted on. It is tho iutention to finish con- sideration of the Indian bill tomorrow, and it as been arranged that the postofiice and ag- ricultural appropriations bills shall follow in the order named. The shipping bill, which for about two weeks remained ponding as unfinished business, will then be again brought up. The silver question still remains the most absorbing topic of discussion among members of the house and there is a constant fear on the part of the conservative members that it may at some unexpected time be sprung upon the house in an unlooked-for shape. The silver men are coufident that the bill will be reported to the house before the end of the weels, and tho republican caucus which has beea called for tomorrow may have some in- fluerice on the course 10 be pursued in regard to this measure by the majorit, ——— Hospital Fire Near Rochester.

Sunday night young Wright returning from church, and while he was passing a lonely strip of road form dressed in long white robes stepped out of the hedge fence into the road in front of the horses, The animals reaved and plunged, but the spook caught each one by the bridle rain saying:—*"Whoa, Charlie! Whoa, Frank!” The animals seemed to recognize their names, for they sank down on their haunches and trembled with fear, The apparition then climbed wupon the buggy tongue and walked along until the dashboard was reached, then It sai —“Why, Aut, don’t you know Lewis Boston? Shake hands with me.” Wright, though terribly frightened, tool the proffered hand, and said it was cold and clammy as that of a corpse. Wright then attempted to drive his team along, but thespook said, “Wait! I want to talk with you, and if you will only listen to me a moment I will never bothor you again.” Wright says hosat alongside of horrid apparition, which he swears Was the dead body of Lewls Boston, which had returned to life. The spook de- livered messages to loved ones and friends, mostly ofa religious nature. Wright has so far refused to repeat what Boston’s spook told him. Finally the spook saldi—"Aut, I must go back, I am called. Oh, I must go back! Don’tyou hear the angels call- ing?

The missile passed through it as though the body were . mist. Thelong whiterobed thing moved away weeping bitterly and cr iuf:—“l want to say one more word.” t is now stated that Mrs. Andrew Wright, mother of Aut Wright, who has been auite ill several weeks, was the first vietim of the apparition. She was in the barnyard one evening about three woek’s ngo, when she was heard to utter the most plereing screams. She was found prostrate in an insensible condition and removed to the house. Delirium followed, in which she mut- tered the name of Louis Boston repeat- edly.

In his report to Agricultural Secretary Rusk, Special Agent Poston of this ity says the plant is n species of the numerous family et} indigenous to A . Southern Californie, Texas, New and old Mexico. The Aztecs,when found by the Spaniards, used the plant for cordage, matting, brooms, brushes, shoes, bedding and various domestic purposes. They roasted the pulp for food and fermented the jwce into “pulque.” The latter has been im- proved by modern civilization into that strong but not repuisive drink called mescal, The maguey plant mutures in seven years, becoming cabbage headed in shape, with prickly guards. It weighs from twenty-five to fifty: pounds. The various layers, us roasted by the natives, are nutritious and purgative. The pulque is fermented in a rawhide vat. . The Cityof Mexicodrinks 250,000 pint of pulque daily, or @ pint per capita which ratio p generally throug b out Me ng the national beverage like wine in France, beer in Germany o “budge” in Yankeedom, Mescal flowers make exeellent honey. Deer ana antelope seek them eagerly, The stock of the plant grows twelve to twenty feet high, and is used in Mex can domestic architecture, Mescal dis- tilleries are very simple, and more secret than any’ moonshiner’s still, Maguey has béen immemorially culti- vated inola Mexico, but is not raised north of that line. In Arizona for twenty-five years past sscal has averaged $2.50 per gallon new, with $1 added for each year of maturity. A higher grade article is called teguita, and is worth $10 per gallon, e Saw the Boys, Charles A.
