Peculiar Oiroumstances Surronnding the Death of an Avoea Woman, MRS, SANDALAND FOUND CEAD IN BED She Was on the Street Seceking Medical Service a Short Time Prior to the Fatal Moment—Corones Investigating, Sheriff Hazen received a telephone messago from Avoca yosterd announcing that a mysterious death took place in that town yesterday morning. Dr. Solomon, who was at the other end of the wire, stated that Mrs. Andy Sandaland, a well known Avoca lady, catled at his ofiice and wanted him to give his professional services at once. Ho was not there, and she left. after telling the office boy to have Dr. Solomon call as soon as he returned, Dr. Solomon returned i a short time and at once went to Mrs, Sanda- land's house. When he arrived there he found Mrs. Sandaland lying on the bed dead. He immediately struck out for the nearest telephono box and asked the sheriff to have the coroner come at once and make un ex- amination, as he thought that there were sufticient indications that she had been foully dealt with to warrant the holding of an in- quest.

ANNOUNCEMENTS, Lewis Morrison's production of “Faust” should draw crowded houses at the Farnam all this week. It is an interesting version of Goethe's poem-drama and scenically it is one of the best things seen in Omaha, If you go to Boyd's theater on next Thurs- day evening for the purpose of hearing and secing o good minstrel performance the chances are that you will not be disap- pointed, for Primrose & West, the million- aire monarchs, are coming with what is doubtless tho strongest minstrel company they have ever organized. 'Tne sale of seats will open Wednesday evening. It will be welcome news to all lovers of what is best in dramatic art that Miss Marie Wainwright and her splendid company will appear at Boyd’s new theater on Friday, hll\y 20, in a handsome production of **I'he School for Scandal.” Her costumes and those of all her associates are said to be the most gorgeous ever worn on the American stage. Bartley Campbell’s great play, “The Gal- ley Slave,” is the new drama at the Bijou this week, beginning today, and a good specialty oilo is also presented. The Manufacturers exposition will open this evening av the Coliseum. Those who have been favored with a view of the ex- hibits pronounce the showing made by the manufactu as even more interesting than last year's. A much larger number of firms aro represented, the leading manufacturers from all parts of the state being interested in making a favorable impression on. the public.

Circumstances have so shaped themselves as to enable Father Sherman to visit Omaba during 'hnsfi“m week. That Tecumseh's” son will be greeted by a distinguished audiencs is assured, e officers stationed at Fort Omaha and connected with the military headquarters will attend in full un'form and occupy seats on the platform. The attena- ance of the Second infantry band is also promised. Around here, too, will be many members of the Loyal Legion, men, now in civil life, who wore the blue during the dark days of the rebellion. Father Sherman, who forsook the bright- est promises of a brilliant social career for the plain life of a Jesuit priest, should be greeted by a large and intelligent audience. ———— PROSPEROUS PLATTE, Something Concerning One of Nebraska's Banner Counties. Corvmpus, Neb.,, May 20.—[Special Cor- respondence.]—Platte county, lying on the north sideof the Platte river, in the eastern portion of the state, contains 437,760 acres of land, with 200,628 acres under cultivation, and has a population of ,000. It is well settled and contans several good trading stations, besides its principal city, among them being Monroe, Humphry, Platte Cen- ter, Creston, Duncan, Cornlea and Lindsa Its principal crops are corn, oats and vy and stock rajsing is one of its leading in- dustries, making it for a small county very wealthy. Though the season is quite late, the crop outlook is excellent, the small grain being well advanced and most of the corn already planted. This section has been blessed with scme good rains of late, which makes the farmer as well as the business man feel safe regarding a crop this summer and fall. Platte county is particularly favored with railroads—the main line of the Union Pacific running through the south part from east to west, and its lines from Lincoln to Sioux City, Columbus to Genoa, Albion and Cedar Rapids; the B. & M. fromt Lincoln, and the Elkhorn from Fremont to Albion also cross the county. Columbus, the coun eat, is situated on the main line of the Union Pacific and is the terminus of the Omaha & Republican Val- ley; Columbus to Lincoln via the Union Pa- cific, and Columbus to Lincoln via the Bur- lington route gives them as good railroad facilities as any inland town in the state. It has a population of 3,050 and 1s steadily increasing: has many fine brick blocks, a good court hou two large roller flouring mills, a creamery, owned by u stock com- pany and emploging ten men, a cigar fac- tory employing cight hands, n lurge cold storage building with a capacity for storing fifteen losds and shipping out two loads of produce per weor, two elevators, a brewery, one large jobbing house keeping two esmen on the road, a soap factory and many smaller industries. This being a division station on the Union Pacific road, about 100 employes are located here, to whom the road dis- tributes monthly over £6,000. Columbus @180 has three good hotels, all of which scem to be prosperous. Four weekly newspapers dispense politics, religion and néws to a 1 list of reader The Journal, a republ: and the oldest paper in the county; Telegram, a rock-ribbed democrat Argzus. a middle-of-thi ad populis the Wochenblatt, a German republican. The creamery company also publishes a monthly, devoted to the creamery and cheese inter- ests, which has o good circulation in the state, The Catholics here have one of the largest schools, hospital, monastery and church buildings, in the state. The grounds upon which these buildings are located contain thirty acres, adjoining the city on the east. The school has over 800 boarding students and is under the immediate charge of Tather Pacificus. Among the immediate prominent promised improvements is that of digginga water poywer canal, tapping the Loup rive rwest and bringing the water on to the bluffs north of the city and for this purpose the Columbus canal and water power company has here organized with a capital of $100,000 and it expects soon to begin operations. The com- pany is composed of G. W. Phillips, W. A. McAllister, A. G. Arnold, W. H. Rightmire, Ragatz, D. Schupback and A. Jacggi. of gentlemen comprise some of the wealthiest and most energetic men of of the city, and they are determmned that Columbus shall enjoy the benefits, advant- ages and_prosperity which have come to other cities of the state by creating a water power and if properly managed and pushed the people of Columbus will soon have her manufacturies, strect cars, electric lights, ete., run by electricity. Piatte county and Columbus contain many inent politicians and statesmen. Hon. . K. Turner, who came so near defeating Hon. E. K. Valentine for congress twelve years ago; Hon. Leander Girard, ex-state senator, whose friends have had aspir- ations to make him governor or United States senator; Hon. James North, who held down a seat in the state senate last winter, ana who expects to serve his country and Mr. Cleveland as collector of this internal revenue district as soon_as Mr. Peters doffs his ofticial robes. Hon. Mr. Irwin, who is one of the orizinators of the great impeachment trial, which is now rending the hearts and feelings of several state and ex-state officers, is legitimately engaged in the cultivation of a farm a few miles from the city, and rather seems to think he has discovered a scheme which will prevent so many large expenditures of the state money for private uses, i nothing more. Mr, Schelp, who was Mr, Irwin's colleague, is a resident of this county. R. H. Henry, president of the state board of agriculture, lives in this thriving agricul- tural community and is very enthusiastic over tho goming state fair,in spite of the great atiraction at Chicago. Coloncl 4. B. Meagher, one of the oldest employes of the Union Pacific road, is the station agent here, and is deservedly popu- lar as a man and a railroad man. The city is in pood hands, owns her own water works system, has a fine corps of vol- unteer fire laddies, has a good system of electric lights, and it will some day gladden the heart of Mark Twain that he founded so good a town upon the then staked plains. —_— WEATHER FOR ECASTS, Kaln for Nebraska, with Gales from the North, ‘Wasnixgroy, D.

Of the many places seen, T shall make brief men- tion of only a few. The first 18 the town of Kingfisher, the county seat of Kingfisher county. Itison the Rock Island railroad, about four miles south of tho Cimmaron river. With a population of about 2,500, it exhibits all the energy, push and hopeful- ness that could reasonably be expected. About thirty miles south is the town of Elreno. The site is upon an elevated table- and, some two or three miles south of the nadian river. Itis the shire town of Canadian county, and a supply center for quite an extended tract of country. It draws considerable trade from Fort Reno and the Darlington Indian agency. It has a population of 8,000, Its busi- ness houses are numerous, It has four banks, five weekly newspapers and iswell equipped with churches and schools. Its people are enthusiastic over its future prospeets and are pushing forward in a con- fidence naturally born of that state of feel- ing. 1vissituated at the point where the Rock 1sland and Choctaw railroaas mtersect each other, the former running in a south- erly direction, the latter in an easterly direction, About five miles west, upon high, level ground, stands Fort Reno, an old " gov ment post. The troops still kept here num- ber about 450 all told. The national govern- ment disburses here to soldiers, to police and for military supplics 000 aunually. The daily cavalry the sem kly concerts of the Mounted Fifth C: band make it a fay for the people of neighboring towns, A from the band just named itis claimed there but one other mounted band in the United States, On looking to the noethwest from Elreno the Darlington Indian agency comes in a view at a distance of some four miles. Shrub and fruit trees planted there ten and twelve ing now grown to sur- prising dimensions, give 1t an attractive At this agency the Araparoe enne Indians, numbering nearly upplied with food and clothing by the zovernment at an annual expendicure of nearly £500,000. Here the government hus paid in cash annuities to Indians over £500,- 000 during last year. In addition to also ing out of these sums the government maintains at this point three Indian schools and a large favm for their benefit and in- struction. Oxlahoma City, the county seat of Okla- homa county, is one of the most prosperous towns in the territory. Situated on the line anta Fe railroad, about thirty-five s south of Guthrie, immediately north of the North Canadian river and surrounded by rich agricultural country, its past has been marked by papid growth and its future is full of promise. Tts streets, while broad and commodious, being 80 and 100 fect n width, havea number of “‘jogs” in them. This, of course, while detracting from their signt- liness, increascs also to some extent the number of turns to be madein driving through them. These jogs were made in order to obviate the necessity of tearing down large and costly buiidings which had been erected at an early day before the exact location of streets had been de- termined. Most of its business buildings consist of two und three story structures. Stone and brick constitute the material used in their constructlom. The style of their architecture 15 as varied and artistic as will be observed anywhere. Churches and Sun- day schools abound. Several daily and weckly newspapers are published. Its pub- lic schools are adequate to its needs and in good condition. Besides the Santa fe thero is a short line of railroad kunown as the Choctaw, which runs westward as far as Fort Reno. In the very nature of things it will not be long till this road will be ex- tended beyond 1ts present termination in both an easterly and a westerly direction along the valley of the North Canadian river. Oklahoma City has a population of 9,000, possibly more, and gives evidence of being the wealthiest, most progressive and most wide-awake business town in the whole territory. Like Guthrie and the sey- eral other towns already named, it was founded April 22, 1880, Besides those specifically alluded to there are within the territory a number of smaller towns with 4 population ranging from 200 to 500. Passing from towns to the territory at arge something of general interest may, rhaps, be said, Its avea is_about 38,000 square miles, or half that of Nebraska. It is bounded on the north by that pact of Iu- dian Territory known as the Cherokec Strip and on the west by Texas. From Texas it extends eastward with an irregular boundary a distance of about 250 miles. Its central and eastern parts are well watered. Its three rivers are the Cimmaron, the North Canadian and the South Canadian, The Little river, Cotton Wood and the Skeleton are its larger creeks. Smaller streams are numerous. In some places its soil is known as a red, sandy loam. 1Inothers, and cspe- cially between the Canadian rivers, im- mense bodies of black alluvium are found. Much more native timber grows in the east- ern half of the territory than is generally the case with a prairie country, It flourishes on the divides among the highlands, as well as in the valleys. At the present time it fur- nishes all the fuel consumed by farmers and is used by them for fencing posts and in the construction of barns and stables. Large quantities of land are inclosed by wire fences and an immense acreage is under cultivation, Lavge numbers of shade and fruit trees have been planted and, so far, they have been ex- ceedingly thrifty in their growth. The variety of crops which may be raised is somewhat remarkable and the yield is all that can l'eusonubliy, be desived. Corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley and potatoes are grown. Carden vegetables and melons of various kinds, apples, peaches, pears, cher- ries, strawberries and other fruits are ed in abundance. Cotton has also been d and the yield proved sufticient to make its cultivation profitable, 1 am imformed the following are llvm'imcns of agricultural products to be exhivbited av the World’s fair in Chicago: An onion weighing 8 pounds 1 ounce, a potato'0 pounds, a cabbage 2! pounds, n watermelot 79 pounds, a squash 109 pounds, a t 17 pounas, samples of wheat yielding 65 bughels per acre, samples of oats 130 per acre, ¢lover 4 foet high, tim- othK 7 feet nigh, ‘s cornstalk 14 feet higl and o bunch of native grass 21 feet high, { How is all this ‘for high?” 1t would doubtiess be worth while for Nebraskans visiting the World’s fair to make a special effort to get a glance at the exhibits which Oklahoma will have there to instruct, to please ‘and to astound. Good building stone is found in many places. Dis- coveries of coal have been reported in a few localities, but as yet nothing reliable is known as to its exiStence. Gypsum is said to be plentiful id the western parts of the territory. The railroads are the Sants Fe and the Rock Island, both of which cross the territory in a northerly and southerly direc- tion ata distance of'thirty-five miles from each other, and the Choctaw, extending eastward along the North Canadian valley from Fort Reno to Oklaboma City. Commendable interest has been mani- fested in educational matters. The youtn of the territory, all things considered, are well provided with schools, It may here be observed that the only female academy in Oklahoma was founded by the Benedicting sisters. It is situated about one mile west of Guthrie on a beautiful elevation amid picturesque surroundings, Including base- ment, it isa four-story brick building, 110 feet long by 50 wide. It has an excellent corps of teachers and will accommodate more than 100 pupils. Churches and Sunday schools were early on the ground. Re- ligious services were conducted at several places where townsites were located, on the first Sunday after lands were thrown MAY 22, 1803, open for settloment. In soma {instances ey were held in tents; in others, in the ain Thesq vices dld much, no doubt, to preserve péade and good order amid & confused nm‘ unsettled conditioh of things naturally tending to excite disagree- ments, disputes, lawlessness and violence, Ministers of the gospel and church people rcnomlly. are, therefore, to be congratu ated upon the enorgy displayed in the es- tablishment of regular forms of Christian worship in large communities composed of persons all strange each other, brought together in numbers running from 10,000 to 20,000 in & single day, and who, for nearly a year thereafter, so faras local laws were concerned, continued n: raoly, in a state of nature. In the northwestern extremity of the ter- ritory the mean annual temperature is 55 Fahrenheit, In the southeastern extre itis 60=. 'Then annual temperaty Omaha being 4 6= below the coldest point in Oklahoma. rainfall in the extreme western part of the territory is from 15 to 20 nches, in the chntral part about 80 iuches aud in the southeastorn part a little in excess of 50 inches. nd and dust are in motion much of the time in the west half of the territory, causing a certain degree of unpleasantness. 1In the east half tho annoyance from this source is considor- ably less. 'This disagrecable feature of the climato will, however, gradually disappear the country grows older and the forees of vilization begin to work out their neces- sary results. Cyclones do not visit this sec- tion very often, but when they come they are sometimes quite destructive as rccent events have shown. Seldom, however, as they “show up” their appearance is not hailed with rejoicing nor is their departure the occasion of serious régret. While, sci- entifically, they are said to be purificts of the atmosphere, yet tho service which they perform is not at all desirable from a purely practical point of view. This statement is varticularly true as to those who happen to fall within the range of their operations. ‘The judgment of this class of peoplo, resting as it'does upon actual experience, Secms to weigh 8o heavily with others that nobody else thinks it worth while to test it by per- sonal experiment as a means of determin- ing 1ts sounduess, This is one of the in- stances 1 which all men are disposed to bo perfectly satisficd with the testimony of others. ~While sod houses and dugouts are said to be the dwelling places of many peo- plein the territory, I have as yctcome ross but one of these structures, All along my lines of travel through rural dis- tricts, ~the houses seen were com- fortable, substantial T of them were quite ornately finished, e, nicely painted and thus tending to leav one’s mind an impression that the country was long since settled.

Revenues will then increase with great rapidity and steps will doubtless be taken looking to the erection of territorial, county and municipal buildings for public use. 1t may be of interest to the readers of Tur Ber to know that by the provisions of the organic act passed by congress providing a temporary form of goverument for Okla- homa, it was declared that the laws of Ne- braska in force in 1889, relating to **Animals assignments, attorneys, bonds, official h chattel} mortgages, citi of the first and second class, common law, corporation bate courts, decedents, deputies, i fees, frauds, homesteads, inter K marriages and marricd women” should be and constitute a part of the local laws of the terri illafter the adjournment of its first legislative sembly. It would be a dif- fieult question, perhaps, to_determine who were the more strongly entitled to congratu- lation, the members of congress for their wisdom in drawing so freely from Nebraska laws or the people of Oklahoma in having the good fortune to live fora while under the reign of those benign statutes. Corn”is now up and in places is belng plowed. Wheat is overa foot high and has a healthy color. Garden vegetables, native grasses and crops of all kinds aro looking well. Everything indicates a good year for the farmer. What has been stated in Cures Others ‘Will cure You, is a true statement of the action of AYER'S Sarsaparilla, when taken for diseases originating in impure blood; but, while this assertion is true of AYER'S Sarsaparilla, as thousands can attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to other preparations, which vr;rincipled dealers will recommend, and try to im« pose upon you, as ‘‘just as good as Ayer's.” Take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla and Ayer’s only, if $ou need a blood-purifier and would be benefited permanently. This medicine, for nearly fifty years, has enjoyed a reputation, and made a record for cures, that has never been equaled by other preparations. AYER'S Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint of he- reditary scrofula and other blood dis- eases from the system, and it has, deser- vedly, the confidence of the people. AYER'S Sarsaparillia “I cannot forbear to express my joy at the relief I have obtained from the use of AYER'S Sarsaparilla. I was afilicted with kidney troubles for about six months, suffering greatly with pains in the small of my back. In addition to this, my body was covered with pimply eruptions. The remedies prescribed failed to help me. I then began to take AYER'S Sarsaparilla, and, in a short time, the pains ccased and the pimples disappeared. I advise every young man or woman, in case of sickness result- ing from impure blood, no matter how long standing the case may be, to take AYER'S Sarsaparilla.””—H, L.
