Commercial Matters.

Grain-COrn is in rather dull de-
mand. Good is saleable to dealers at 80 1-2@
Sc. Hard is firm at 42@46. Oats are steady
and in good demand. Bulk oats, mixed, on
track, sell to dealers at 50 2@3ac.
Butter-Shippers of firkin butter are
becoming excited, but without sufficient
pondence with Eastern dealers. It is true
that Eastern markets are poorly supplied
with butter, but there does not appear to Ike
any very strong demand for the comnonest
qualities, such as are generally shipped from
Minnesota. Ordinary grades Of store packed,
in trkins and tubs, are to-day saleable to
l9@20c.
Eggs-N0 fresh lots are now offered
at less than 17@l8c, and the small amounts
arriving have quickly sold at the price since
Friday morning.

Cellars.-The season has arrived
when disease engendered by foul air in
cellars which have been closed through
the winter, with their stores of vege-
tables more or less decayed. As in
most houses the only cellar ventila-
ton during the cold weather is through
the floors of the rooms occupied by the
family above, it follows that as decom.
position progresses, noxious atmos-
phere must prevade the house, and a
crop of typhus fevers or like diseases,
indicative of blood poisoning must en-
sue. It is not too early to begin to act
upon these suggestions in order to save
doctors bills. as prevention is better
than cure.

A Case Of Brutality.

Clark County, ILL.,, is loud in deunci-
ations of a great crime committed
within its borders, particulars of
which are given in special to- the
Chicago papers. A man named John
Cottrell. some time last fall married a
widow Melrose, who had two children,
both boys, aged and 10 respectively.
Ever since the marriage the stepfather
has behaved toward the children in
the most brutal manner; frequently
driving them away from home in the
dead of night, when they usually took
refuge with some the neighbors, and
compelling them to go without shoes
on their feet, and really without cloth.
ing upon their backs. A few nights
ago he got one of his freaks on and
drove them out. They were almost
without clothing, and started for their
mcle's, in Crawford county, When
ten miles below their home, in Clark
county, the younger of the two boys
gave out. His brother succeeded in
getting him upon piece of ground
free from ice and snow, and, leaving
him, went on to the house of gentle
man by the name of James Hand,
where he was taken in. His step.
father had been in the habit of beat
ing him and his brother whenever
they told anything of his mistreat-
ment, and it was some time before he
would consent to tell of his own and
his brothers sufferings. About this
time Mr.. Sackrider came up having
found the younger brother dead where
the elder had left him. An inquest was
held, and the jury returned verdict
that the child came to his death
through the brutal treatment of his
stepfather. With difficulty the com.
munity were restrained from lynching
the Stepfather. who is under arrest.

A veterinary surgeon writes to the
Country Gentleman that his experience
with sawdust is that it is the best bed.
ding to be had for horses or cattle. 1t
is superior to straw in many respects.
1t is Il much better absorbent than
straw, and much cleaner. For a paw
ing horse it is much better, as it dis
places the bedding only where the foot
touches the floor of the stall, while
straw, being long, is displaced general
ly by the act of paving.

Another Kansas Horror.

Wichita (Kan) Eagle.
On Monday morning word was
brought into town of Il most heart
rending disaster which occurred about
IL miles east of Wichita, on Sunday
night, wherein the home of VIM. Nc
Garry was destroyed by fire, and two
of his children burned up. We are able
to gather but few of the sickening de-
tails. The night was the widest of
any during the past winter, as our
home readers we'll know. The piercing
winds and binding drifts of snow swept
down from the north as in fierce anger,
shrieking across the broad prairies,
shaking orr houses to the very founda-
ton. 1t appears that Mr.. McGarry's
family consisted of a wife and six
children, and that at the usual bed
time four of the children went up stairs
to bed, taking with them some matches
to light lamp. Nothing further is
certainly known by the parents until
one son fell through the floor, and a
girl, a lame child, ran down the stair
way. The parents and the two children
down stairs and the two that escaped
from above could hardly get out of the
house before it was one sheet of fame.
1t seems that about the middle of the
night two children were awakened by
fire and smoke. The boy who fell
through, finding the house on fire, en-
deavored to pull a young child out of
bed when he fell. 1t is further sup
posed that after lighting the lamp a
burning match must have fallen among
some clothes, which were set atire but
did not break into flame for three
hours ;fterward. We could not learn
the sex, name, or age of the children
burned. Hardly had the terror-stricken
family made the escape when the home
that had but few short hours before
sheltered from the pitiless storm the
father and mother, and protected from
the midnight blasts all that to them
was most dear, was not only black
ened, smoldering heap. but with it's ex-
piring embers it held the crisped re-
mains of two little forms whose spirits
had winged their flight for that cline
where pitiless storms and death-dark
desOlation never come.

News From the National Capital.

News From the National Capital.
Gen. Custer gave testimony before
the investigating committee showing most
shameful system Of corruption among the
post traders Of the Sioux country and various
politicians.
Ex.minister Schenck made lengthy
statement before the Emma Mine committee
on the 29th ult. and was cross examined at
length, but the only result apprcciable was
that he claims large losses where the COM
nlittee seems to think him the gamer.
Gen. Sherman, after long interview
with President Grant, announced that the
headquarters of the army would be in Wash
ington hereafter. 1t is asserted that Gen. s.
never had any difficulty with the President,
but could not get along with Secretary Bel
KNAPP, who now being out Of the way, there is
no obstacle to his return.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has rendered two very important de-
cisions; one declaring the "Force bill," to
prevent frauds in elections in the South, to he
unconstitutional because its provisions extend
outside the limits authorized by the 18th
amendment. The other is affirming the de-
cision Of the lower courts discharging the
Grant county Ku Klux, because Congress has
not provided appropriate legislation for the
punishment Of offenses charged in the indict-
ment
