Tree. Planning In Nebraska.

Tree-planting has become a mania
with Nebraskans. One of the FIRST acts
OF the settler, after he has turned over
the sod and put in his first crop, and
after providing a place for his family,
is to plant trees about his farm. Many
species, especially cottonwood, grow
very rapidly, and in three years form a
strong barrier to the wind, and yield
in summer a grateful shade. The law
has set apart one day in spring, called
"Arbor-Day," when everybody devotes
himself to the n object of seeing how
many trees he can plant. In this there
is a friendly rivalry between neighbors,
and the result of the past few years
has been not only to give comfort and
pleasure to the people, but to bring
about a very p%erceptible increase in the
amount Of rainfall. This is noticed as
well in the extreme western part of
Nebraska, where, until the building of
the railroad, rains were almost I'M
known. Whether Nature has Just now
found time to complete the great work
Of creation, leaving the plains to lie
finished last, or whether it is due to
physical changes in the earth's surface
produced by mans agency, certain it
is that there is a great climatic change
going on in that region. And the con-
tinued planting Of trees and settlement
of the country cannot fail to assist in
the advancement Of this greatly to be
desired result.
Wyoming would do well to follow the
example of her elder sister.

Halls Friend Speaks

New York, April 6.--Louis j. Jen-
nings sends the following from London:
I'm reply to your further questions
concerning my conversation with Hall,
it may not be improper for me to say
his flight was caused by the ever-recur-
ring spectre Of his alleged completely in
the ring frauds. The perpetual revival
of these charges made life intolerable
to him, till he came to think death bet
ter than to be constantly haunted. He
said to me that he wished to be con
sidered dead by his friends and to be
forgotten. He is greatly depressed, and
seems to have no care for the future.
AS to the woman who Is said in New
York, as you inform me, to be his CON-
panion, l have seen nothing of such
person, and from my conversation with
him believe that no such person had
any part in his flight. l do not think
any other person besides himself was
cognizant of his purpose in leaving
New York. l consider him to be sim
ply an utterly broken man.

THE BENDER BUTCHERS.
Their Pursui, and Capture.

Little Rock, Ark, April 6.-The
Blenders were arrested by "a Mr.. Beard,
of Kansas, a private detective, on a
requisition from the governor of Kan
sas. Beard IS the man who discovered
the bodies of the murdered York and
others on Bender's place, in Kansas, in
1872. He followed the family down
the Atlantic 81 Pacific road TO Pierce
City, Missouri, thence to Fayetteville,
in this state. The family separated ut
Fayetteville, but reunited at the house
of "a son Of old man Bender, on Cedar
creek, where they engaged in agrical-
tural pursuits. After satisfying him
self as to the identity of the family,
Beard proceeded to Kansas, and the
governor offered u reward of 81, 500
and a requisition for George Keafer
alias John Bender, Lena Keafer alias
Kate Bender, Mrs. Keafer alias Mrs.
Bender, and Philip alias John Bender,
Jr. The arrests were made quietly by
the sheriff, the only resistance being
by Kate, who drew Il shovel on the de-

Further Facts Regarding Thursdays
Tragedy.
New York, April 6.-The tragedy in
the Office Of the Messrs. Jewett yester-
day is the absorbing topic of coiiversa-
ton. The thousands of people who
cross every morning from Brooklyn to
New York by Fulton ferry, all turned
this morning into Burling slip, and lin
gered for awhile at Front street, looking
up to the second floor at the windows
Of the office in which the calamity &C.
CURED. The building is closed, and
the police, 80 needful yesterday to keep
the crowd from pressing in, have been
withdrawn.
All members of the firm bear the
very highest possible reputation, not
only for probity, but for amiability of
character and charitableness, except
Orville D., who was of a close, surly
disposition. Orville's original interest
was Sl50,000. He never got along
very well with his uncles. lie came
and went as he pleased, and refused to
be tied down to any routine whatever.
Notwithstanding his extreme penuri-
business, lie did not hesitate to spend
money freely for his W enjoyment.
lie kept a yacht, fast horses, dogs, and
WIS u generous liver.
These characteristics brought him
into collision with his partners, and he
received their remonstrances in any
thing but u friendly spirit. The breach
thus formed was continually widening,
until four years ago, on the occasion of
the annual settlement, there was an
open rupture, caused by a demand that
Orville should change his course or
leave the firm. This was settled, how
ever, at the time, but without produce
ing any alterations in the relations of
the members Of the concern.
Orville constantly grew more inso-
lent, and about four weeks ago he was
informed that his connection must end
without further delay. He made stub
born resistance, but one day last week
he went to Dean and said that if he
wished to buy out his interest he might
have it for 800, 600, but would require
that the papers should be drawn up by
his W lawyers. Dean said all he
wanted was a receipt for the money.
which he would pay I've This was
the understanding arrived at.
Orville went to his attorney, and en-
ployed him TO draw up the papers.
Sutherland said yesterday that they
were all ready, and were to be signed.

concern was promised.

A late Virginia New Enterprise
describes a fountain which sends up
numerous jets from the top of the spire
OF the new Catholic church in that
place. A large iron pipe is carried up
through the steeple and up the large
cross surrounding the same. The pipe
then takes the form of the cross, behind
which it is hidden, and from holes per-
'forated at proper intervals the jets are
sent up. From the top of the cross and
from the end of each arm large streams
ascend to the height of about twenty
five feet, and between these are thrown
up a great number of smaller Jets. The
height of the top Of the cross from the
ground is 10 feet, and last evening, says
the Enterprise, the air being calm, the
numerous jets spread out in the shape
of a fan. The rays of the declining sun
fell upon the Jets and spray at just the
proper angle to light up and bring out
the whole in a beautiful roseate glow
which surrounded the top of the cross
like a glory.

~cHAMBERLAIN's LUCK.

lie win Die IN the Last Ditch.
Washington, April Gov. Cham
berlain left this morning for South
Carolina. At a conference between
Chamberlain and his friends, last night,
he informed them that he determined,
after reflection and consultation with
prominent Republicans, to hold on to
his office and not surrender the state
house until elected by civil power.
AS Wade Hampton has given a
pledge to the President that neither
himself OF friends will resort to violence,
Chamberlain was confident he could
maintain himself as governor for some
time to come, and prevent Hampton
from being recognized as governor by
the legal legislature. The Republicans
have an admitted majority in the state
senate, and unless Hampton can get
control of this body he will be power
less to affect Chamberlain. The state
assembly shall be the sole Judge of the
election for governor.
In a conversation, to-day, with your
correspondent, Senator Patterson said
in explanation of the departure from
the policy announced by Chamberlain a
few days ago, that Chamberlain had
decided not to give up the contest until
there was some definite action in regard

to stand frm for his rights, and events
might occur in Louisiana which would
cause a reaction in the country regard
ing the Presidents southern policy,
and arouse a sentiment in the Repub-
iican rarty which would compel the
administration TO change front. This
was a forlorn hope, but the Republicans
OF South Carolina intended to cling 10
it until it was swept away. If Packard
Is deposed Their Chamberlain will give
up the fight in South Carolina.
Chamberlain and Packard have been
in communication, and Chamberlain
has decided to hold on to the Office in
the expectation that something may
turn up in his favor. No doubt he is
advised to this course by some promi-
nent Republicans who would be glad to
see the Presidents southern policy re-
suit In failure.

California Strawberries.

As the Cheyennese indulge largely in
California fruits, the following item
from a California paper in regard to
the strawberry crop may be interesting:
Strawberries are retailing at thirty
five cents per pound, and will doubt
less be much below that price before the
week is out. The season promises to
be peculiarly favorable to the straw
berries. There has been no cold
weather to retard their growth, and
from present indications we will have
the heaviest yield in the history of
strawberry culture in this state.
