TOO MUCH the START

Of them to catch him but they at once gave
the alarm. Anderson's death at once gave
rise TO suspicious that Mrs. Harleson and
her family had been foully dealt with, and
after short search the horrible fact was
revealed that he had murdered the whole
family, had scooped outa shallow grave at
the edge OF straw.stack, dumped the
bodies therein and covered them partly
with straw and dirt. They had ali been
Drained with hammer or other blunt
instrument. This horrible discovery
aroused the whole country, and every pre-.
caution was taken To- track the murderer.
He had gone 10 the nearest railroad station
on the Southwest Road, however, and had
gone TO Red Cloud, F5IIgy

and then had Immediately turned about
face, and rode back through the very
scene OF his murders, The officers Of the
law were accordingly baffied for time,
but soon got on his track, and succeeded
on the sd Of December, in arresting him
at the town ofATount Pleasant, his fathers
home, in Eastern Ohio. He was walking
with two ladies when he was arrested, and
willingly gave himself up, and such had
been his previous good standing In that
section that few people would credit the
terrible tales about him. he was speedily
returned to Nebraska by his captors, and
his trial began ut Minden, in Kearney
county, early in January, resulting Id 4
conviction, January 18TH Of murder in the
first degree.

though the murder Of the Harleson family
was infinitely more horrible than that Of
Anderson, the evidence was not clear, 80
the trial and conviction was alone upon
the murder of Anderson, and the trial
was merely a iotmality, legal, and no de-

things are comparative. I could name
a great many men who have served

would have remained in obscurity all

labored always for the object by pro-

where he allowed his ambition to rule

American Agriculture.

The possibilities of American agri-
culture can best be appreciated by re-
viewing the facts that the area of arabic
lands in the United States exceeds
i 500, ,0O0, 600 square miles, while the
area at present under cultivation is esti-
mated to be ia, 100000 acres, or less
than 275,000 square miles. 1t is proba-
BILE that the next census will show
valuation of farms exceeding
s11 ,0OO, 100000, and an annual
production of So 600, ,OOO,OOO The fact
that more then one-haf of all our peo-
pie who are engaged in the ordinary
pursuits of life are directly employed in
agriculture is at once sufficient
evidence of its universally and import
ance.
In the year 1878 there were 81 ,0O8, 900
acres in Indian corn, producing 1871,
1000 bu shells; 32,206, 900 in wheat,
with yield of 422, 100000 bushels; 49,
10000 in oats, giving All, ,855 200 BUSH
els; 100000 in barley, showing a crop
of 100000 bushels; 1,621 900 in rye,
with 25,80O,O00 bushels, and 673,000
acres in buckwheat, yielding product
of IL, ,277 900 bushels. Thus the total
cereal production for 1878 was 1884
9O2, 900 bushels, raised on 1O0,476,000
acres, while in 1874 the total crops were
but 1,454, 10000 bushels; in 1876,
1867, ,821 500, and in 1877, 1884, ,646
bushels. The future increase in the
farm productions of this country will
result largely from improved systems of
cultivation, as well as from extended
areas under the plow. A system of
agriculture presents but little to be
proud of which averages to the acre over
the whole country yield of but twelve
bushels of wheat, less than twenty-seven
bushels of corn, and only twenty-eight
bushels of oats. Compared with what
modern agriculture is capable of in this
direction, it is not too much to affirm
that our farm crops, even on their
present area, may be doubled in guam

FEATURES OF THE IMMIGRATIOT
Tables.

The total immigration to this country
during the seven years ending Decem-
Der 81, 1878, was 1853, ,513, of which
1.423, ,912 came from Europe, 212,196
from countries on the Western Hemis-
phere, 100,672 from Asia, $3.50 from
islands in the Pacific Ocean, 255 from
Africa, and 8,298 from other points not
specifically stated. In that period the
greatest number of immigrants came
from Germany, and numbered 472,92S ;
England came next, with 274,602
Ireland, with 27O,676; Quebec and
Ontario, with 153, ,250; China, 1OO,2t6,
and after that the grand total was made
up in numbers which ranged from
5.0S1 from Norway, all the way down
to one each from Lapland, Cochin China,
Malacca, Singapore, Leeward Islands,
Tobago, Nicaragua, Feejee Islands,
Polynesia (not specifed), Van Dieman's
Land. and Tasmania. There were "a
number of places from which only two
emigrants came to the United States in
the pariod referred to, but those
enumerated above confined their con-
tributions to our population to one each.
An examination of the tables prepared
by the Board of Statistics makes an in
tsresting and curious study. From the
four quarters of the globe, and all the
points thereof, the people of every race
and creed are represented in the grand
total of our population. Some may be
above the representative of their race in
this country, like the solitary Lap.
lander and native of the Leeward
Islands, who emigrated here during the
years 1928, but their presence among
those who came to escape the persecu
tions of autocratic governments, show
how true is the claim that this country
Is the asylum OF the world. 1t is rather
a curious fact that in the six years in
dicated only 10000 emigrants have
reached this country from Russia, but
a few more than came here from Novs
Scotia-26,6 500.
