SALINA, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1883.

In preparing timber for the tlrai ofGets AJ0lbb. oak treea 20 Inches Ibdiameter at the base and 103 yearn old(counting the "rltijr"). were cut.

Gov. Osbor.sk lias purchased a 91--

OOObuildlugon Katinaa avenue, To-pek- a.

Maybe lie will engage in tberestaurant business, when he getsthrough with Brazil.

It Is now as deflnitely settled as Itcan ever be, that the number of Uvealost in tbe Kewhall House tire, is 65.Tbe number who made their escapefrom tbe burning building, In safety,Is 110.

Two Iowa J. B.Weaver and E. H. Gillette, bare be-

come editors oC the Jjes Moines Tri-bun- e,

a very Insignificant paper.Gillette spoke at the New York Storecorner oue night during the campaignof '80.

It seems that John A. Logan exerted his Influence to secure tbe elec-tion of Culloni.the caUL-u- nominee forSenator. Logan has never forgottenthe bolt which defeated him and elect-ed Davis six years ago, and he doesn'tpropose to encourage bo dangerous athing.

These is a bill in the House mak-ing it obligatory upon tbe Governorto issue his warrant for the executionof a convicted murderer within a cer-ta- lu

time after conviction. The Cap-H-

says, the probabilities are that ifitpasses the House, it will have no dif-ficulty in getting through the Senate.

John Kkllv, the Tammany chief-tain, having seen his enemies capturetbe Governor he nominated and elect-

ed, is contemplating the ingratitudeof Republics, and has decided toabandon the arena of politics for tl-- e

lecture Held. He starts out very noonand calls his discourse "The EarlySettlement of the Irish in America."

The of Geo. F. Hoar asSenator from Massachusetts, is a vin-

dication of the good sense of the parlyin tbe old Bay state. In spite of somerather Pecksnifiln speeches by Mr.Hoar, he has generally been found onthe right fide of public questions andhas always been an alert aud aggress-ive representative of his state. Butlerand Long's vigorous opposition camenearly dtft-atiu- him, but the

who stood by Sumner, did notdesert Hoar.

Tub stutcuicut going the rounds ofthe press that Thos. 11. Cavuuaughbad resigned his position at the Ober-li- n

Laud Office and was going toWashington Territory to accept a jw-siti-

on the Northern Pacific Rail-road, is denied by that gentleman.Tom says that Kansas is good enoughfor him. Exchange.

Tom must be trying to keep hisname before the public. He has em-phatically stated on several occasionsthat it was his intention to resign hisoffice and remove "to WashingtonTerritory.

Dukino the war, while Sheridauwas making his raid through theShenandoah Valley, an old womanwho kept a toll-gat- e on tbe turnpiketried to collect toll from the wholeArmy, and became very indignant atthe Jeers and shouts of the boys. Sheis so encouraged by the success ofother claims that she proposes tohave a bill introduced into Congrtesto pay that toll with interest to date.She sincerely believes that Sheridanswindled her out of a small fortune.and threatens to get even with himy-- t.

The New York World is very" se-

vere on Mr. Anderson's postal tele-graphy bill and says: "Mr.Anderson,of Kansas, has promptly brought for-ward a measure to nullify Mr Pendle-ton's civilservice reform bill. Mr.Pendleton's bill proposes to take some10,000 persons employed In the civilservice out of politics. Mr. Ander-son's bill proposes to make 15,000 or20,000 operators, linemen and otherpersons engaged In telegraphy, intopolitics and under tbe control ot thePostmaster General. If this bill werenot in this way highly mischievous,t would still be highly Idiotic."

It is now known that among themany passengers of tbe lost steam-ship Gmbria was Miss Dora Hennin-ge- r,

known to the lyric stage aa Mile.DoranI, who was returning to herhome In Cleveland from nearly ayear's course in musical studies inEurope. Mapleson found her at tbeCincinnatti College of Music, and en-

gaged her for his company next season.She made a highly successful debut asprima ddnna in the opera "Fidelia,"in Chicago, and after the close f theengagement, went abroad to studywith fatuous teachers. Her careerpromised to be brilliant. Her fatheris a music teacher and director or

The Republican National Com-mittee was instructed by the last Na-tional Convention to adopt a rulegiving each Congressional District aright to elect and control its own del-egates. This was Intended to breakup the rule of the bosses in several ofthe State conventions, and then bymeans of the unit rule to controltheir whole delegation.

The National Committee lust closedltseWetioH. Altera long diacaasioa ofnumerous plans suggested to giveRepublican voters equal and Just representation, they adopted the old plansomewhat modlled, as follows :

Tbe Republican National Conven-tion of 1864 shall consist of foar del-egates at large from each state and twodelegates from each congressionaldistrict. Delegates at large shall bechosen by popular delegates, stateconvenUons called on not leas thantwenty days' published notice andbeld sot leas than thirty nor morethai sixty days before the time forthe meeting of tbe National Conven-tion. Republicans of the variouscoeagTCsetonal districts shall have theOBtiea of electing their delegates atseparate popular delegate conven-tions called oa adrailar notice and'held Ib tbe district at any time priorto tbe meeting of the State coaveatloaa, or by sub-divisi- on of tbe StateeaaTeaUoaa into district conventions,and each delegates shall be chosen laUse latter methods if not elected pre-vie-es

to tbe Meeting of the Stale ooa-Blssa- a,

all district delegate to beaaawsWaaby tbe ooleafs of mm. district seaTsaUeaa. Two

shall be allowed from each territoryand from tbe District of Columbia sim-ilarly chosen. Notice of contests maybe given to tbe National Committee,accompanied by a full printed state-ment of tbe grounds of contest, whichshall also be made public, and pref-erence in order of hearing and deter-mining contests shall be given by theconvention according to the dates ofreception of such notices and state-mea- ts

by the National Committee.Other plans which were rejected

provided for additional representationof Republican states. The represen-tation of the bosses who had controll-ed or who expect to control delegations from southern Democraticstates were too strong on the com-

mittee. But the rule adopted given adeath blow to the unit rule. Ex-

cept as to delegctes at large each dis-

trict will act independently.

The rickety, man-tra- p platform ontbe southVide of the New York storehas been removed.

NOTES FROM THE COURTJAMES.

OF SL

BT A D PLENOPOTF.X-TIAR-

"Where is he?" "Can you see him?"were tbe questions asked by the eager,surging mob that filled, the aisles,crowded tbe seats, and struggled for afoothold on tbe wide window sills ofthe Tenple of Justice, on the eveningof tbe auspicious day, set apart for thetrial of the Right Hon. Frank James.Interested as tbe gulleles citizen ofthis metropolis bad been in tbe Cren-shaw shooting affair, its importancedwindled Into insignificance comparedwith the great event to follow. Whatnattered it to them if Crenshaw,standing oa tbe threshold of his castle,did kill aa oSlcer, were there notplenty of men la Ireland, yet, readyto oobm over and All the vacancy. Itwas James, tbe terror of tbe past, tbeAero of tbe present, tbe retpeclaltUeUisen of tbe future they bad comethere to see ; to be sare they gave aebeer when tbe venerable JadgeWhite dlsamlsssd tbe Creaihaw Jary

after their verdict of "Not guilty."Money talks nowadays, and the vil-

lain of the day prides himself uponthe protection he will receive by Jus-tice from justice, in the flourishingStale of Missouri. At length the fa-

mous outlaw was brought Into court,and every eye was riveted upon tberather tall, spare form of him whose"hate stopped not on this side of tbegrave." He seated himself easily andgracefully lu an arm chair, by the sideor his counsel, aud It wat then thatwe rose uron our tiptoes and obtaineda good face view of the. man. It wasnot a bad face, the lines showed resolution, the nose was long and sharp,the forehead high and bald, slopingback, the ears stood out at an angleof about thirty-Ov- a degrees, cheekbones high, eyes that might flash fire,lips thin and evidently capable of anexpression of cruelty.

This was the view ef the man weobtained by dint of much tiptoeingnnd manouvering In order to makethe most of our inches. (State of Mis-souri, versus Frank James, read theclerk.) Murder In the first degree:Case finally dismissed for want of evi-dence. There were no witnesses,dead men tell no tales: From "theunreplying dead" comes no accusingword. After nearly a quarter of acentury spent In deeds of violence, noman can be found brave enough tosay be Is a murderer. The friendlessdead must go uurevenced. and theghosts of Pinkerton's detectives areforbidden to unfold a tale "whoselightest word would harrow up tbysoul." The second Indictment forrobbery was also dismissed for thesame cause, and the trial fur the thirdpostponed ball being fixed at $3,500which was refused.

The present thaw will render icecutting on the Missouri rather danger-ous business.

In a fracas on Main street, a fewnights ago, a woman was stabbed Inthe face by a man the knife enteredthe cheek bone and broke ofT, leavinga painful wound fitly IllustratingNapoleon Bonaparte's terse remark,"Where there's women there'll beblows." Witness.U. It.A. Brick.

The Midwinter Centurv.The beginning of a new story by W--

Ilowells, in the Midwinter (Febru-ary) Century, isa literary event, whoseimportance is Increased by the dis-

cussion, in the past four months, ofthe characters, ethical purpose andliterary qualities of "A Modem In-

stance." Mr. Howell's audience hasbeen helil up to a high pitch ofcurios-'t- y

to see the opening chapters of "AWoman's Reason " His readers willnot be disappointed. The scene Isonce more Uoiton, but the social at-

mosphere and the purpose have un-

dergone a complete change. On ly thestyle remains the same; but here, too,the reader will perceive freshness ofattitude and a new vivacity. Thefourth partofthe"Led'Horse Claim,"by Mary Halloek Foote, heightens thedramatic interest of this fasciuatlngstory, which will end in the Marchnumber. Each part is embellishedby a picture from the author's pencil.Mrs. Burnett's "Through One Admin-istration" Is developing a new Inter-est as It nears the conclusion. Theshort story of tbe number is a humor-ously fanciful tale, by Frank R. Stockton entitled "The Spectral Mortgage."

Leading public questions receiveunusual attention in this number efthe this Century, for which reason It isappropriate v that the frontispieceshould bea)ortraitof George WilliamCurtis (ohe of Cole's most successfulengravings), an autobiographicalsketch of the well-know- n estayist audpublicist .being contributed by H. S.Conant, of "Harper's Weekly." MissEmma Lazarus discusses "Tbe JewishProblem" with vigor and resources offact ; E. V. Smalley, in a graphic art-icle, throws light on several important"Features of the Now North-west,- "

and Edward T. Fetters explains the"Evils of our public Laud Policy," towhich he ascribes the prostration ofagricultural interests In the AtlanticStates. A characteristic scene In theWhite House, life of Lincoln Is de-

scribed in the Rev.C.Van Santvoord'srecollections of "A Reception by Pres-

ident Lincoln."Two of the illustrated articles are

notlceble for the number ami excel-

lence of the pictures, and appeal di-

rectly to a large number of readerswho, in one way or another, are Inter-ested In the development of Americanart. These are Mrs. Van Reusselaer'sstudy of "American Etchers," andMiss Charlotte .Adams' entertainingaccount of the life of "Artists' Modelsin New York." Other illustratedarticles in the same number areGeorge W. Cable's second historicalpaper on "The Creoles In tbe Ameri-can Revolution," and Frank A. Cush-ng- 's

second chapter of "My Adven-tures in Zuul."

Frederick Locker, the author of"London Lyrics," Is the subject efan illustrated paper by J. BrandcrMathews, which includes two portraits of the poet. Especially noteworthy is the variety and excellenceof the poetry In the February Cenlu-ar- y,

which is contributed by EdmundCtarenceStedman, Edmund W. Gosse,Richard Henry Stoddard, JoaquinMiller, John Vai.ee Cheney, JamesHerbert Morse, and Pihllip BourkeMarston ; and in "Bric-a-Brac-" thereis a clever parody entitled "The Songof Sir Palamede," .on Swinburne'slast poem, by Helen Gray Cone, tbeauthor of tbe metrical satire on WaltWhitman and Oscar Wilde, in theNovember Century, called "Narcissusin Camden."

In "Topics of the Time," the evilways of many of the money kings arediscussed under tbetitle"Tbieves aadRobbers" tbe sensitiveness of English-men to American criticism; "Lawmaking at Albany ; and toe movement to have works of art plsesd ontbe free list of tbe customs tariff."CommanlcatloBs," "Literature,""Home aad Sodety," and "TbeWorld's Work," treat a variety ofteatee, books, aad useful inventions.

CAPTURED.

Near the beginning of our late CivilWar, Lieutenant Graham was sta-tioned with a few men to guard a gapIn the Virginia mountains. The block-ade or the whole South at that timewas very rigorous, and supplies of anykind were rarely smuggled throughthe Union lines.

One morning, as the Lieutenant satsmoking in the door of his Unt, oneof his outlying pickets presented him-ci- r,

red and blown with running."I've got 'em-- , sir ! It's some of thlin

rebel-- i hookiii' It across the Hue. Ibrought em' to with a round turn '."

"Where?" exclaimed the litutennut, as he jumped to his feet. He wasyoang and zealous, and hail not yethad a chancu to prove his teal. "Reb-els breaking through the line- -, eli?Well done, Wright!"

"Carrying provisions, sir?""No doubt! No doubt! Arms and

ammunition, too, of course. Whereare they? Were they taken prison-ers!"

The man looked sheepish. "They'reback in tbe wcods, sir. I jest fntehedIt along."

"It! What on earth"Tbe lieutenant followed Wright,

who ran to tbe woods, dashed behinda copse and hauled out a little girl ofabout ten years of age, carrying ubasket. A doukey stood beside her.

"There they be. lieutenant! Shewas foot In' It past the pickets, singingDixie to herself, as easy as yer please."

"Take your hands on the child! Ithought you bail captured a dozenmen, you braggart! Who are you, raychild?"

"I'm Dora Nettley, sir."Dora was a chubby, freckled child,

with honest brown eyes, which re-

minded tbe lieutenant or his little sis-

ter away out In Michigan. Still, im-

portant information, maps audhad often been carried by

women and children since the warbegan, and this might be a liearer ofinformation, clild though she was.

"Where did you come from, Dora?""From Martlnsburg, sir.""And what have you in that bas-

ket?"Tbe child's foe grew red, she shut

her lips tight, and remained silent."Search It. Wright.""Here's tea. sir. and a little package

of sugar, and here's a bottle or quininepills"'

"Where are you going with thesethings, Dora?"

She looked wildly from side to side.her chin quivered, and then she burstInto passionate sobs.

"Oh, let roe go, sir. It's my mother's. She is down on the plantationall alone. The negroes have all followed your army, and mv motheralone and sick. I just thought I'dbuy her a little tea aud sugar and themedicine."

"How do you know she is sick ?""Patsey told me. Patsey's the

coachman. He followed tbe soldiersup to IfarUnsbarf. He said there wasnobody to take care of her."

"And you rode from Martlnsburghere on this donkey ?"

"Yes. sir.""And meant to pass these lines?"Dora nodded, and her eyes sparkled.

This kind-face- d lad was not so terriblea foe, after all. "I was just going downtbs gap road. I have ridden it onSpot a hundred times before."

Wright's foce was eagerly turned tothe officer. "Ob.let tbe child go.lleu-tenan- t.

What barrum kin she dowith her bit of U for her sick mltber?I wish I'd been In better businesswhin I teebed you, sissy."

"I wish yon bad," said Dora

"How does It bsppen thst yourmother is alone?" askea the lieuten-ant. "Where is your father?"

Dora's cheeks grew fiery red. Shelooked at the ground uncertainly. Shwas a quick-witte- d child, and hadseen the pity and sympathy In the of-ficer's eyes. If she could bide the factthat her family were actively con-cerned with the Confederates, therewas a chance that she would be allow-ed tejpaits. Bat to lie!

"Where Is your father, Dora?" herepeated.

"In tbe army!" she faltered."Fighting for tbe Union?" ssid

Graham quickly.There was a long pause. "He U

with Lee," she said at last."And your brothers?""They are with Dick Ash by."The youM easeer turned away Im-

patiently. He had hoped to Hud apretext tor being of service to tbechild.

Walk down the Reld a bitkapeyer faaek this way," whis

pered Wright "I'll giveber tbe winkto be off. ABd what harram's done?"

"No ; I am sorry, Dora, but I can-not let yoa pass through tbe amp. Itie aacaiaet orders."

At tbe end of the day. LieutenantGraham opened the gate of the farmhouse. Mrs. It. with Dora hurried tomeet him.

"I know, by your face, you havesucceeded." she said.

"Yes; the General is the most In-exorable of foes, as far as men areconcerned, but he has a wife and chil-dren of his own. Here Isa tierruit andan order for a guard to take the childthrough the pass."

The officer himself rode with theguard Into the gap.

"Good-by- e my little prisoner. Youwill soon be with your mother, and Ihope you will Hud that she will notneed the medlciuw you are carryingher,"he said as they arted.

Dora's eyes were full of tttars. "Youhave been so good to me," she said,dropping Sis.' reins, and holdingout both bauds. "I wish I could dosomething for you."

THE BfcAVEA.Forest a iv I stream.

I am well acquainted with the hair-i- ts

of the Northern beaver. Severalyears ago I bought up --everal hundredacres of mining lands near the southshore of Lake Superior, In Ontonagoncounty, Michigan. On Carp river, asmall stream that crosed a part of mylauds, the beavers had built severaldams, ami formed extensive ponda. inwhich they built their hnues or lodgesas the Indians call them. Thesae lodgesare built in waterseverai feet in depth,and the entrance' l feet underwater, but tin Moor of the lodge Isbuilt atleasttwo feet alsirt high-wat- er

mark. The floor is built mild fromthe bottom of the pond except the en-trance.

Although the beaver is warmly cladwith long, fine fur, he Is vrry sensi-tive to the cold, and rarely, "if ever,leaves the (Kind or lodg? during tbecold weather. He lays in his wintersupply of fool, which mainly consistsof tbe bark of a certain snciernf poplar, tie cuts down smalt trees--, andcuts them into short pieces) of one footor a little over in length, and takesthem into the pond.
