1t is not here meant to be said that it Is
the general custom of Nebraska and
Kansas to burn corn; but, when corn is
superabundant, the surplus of the crib,
in thousands of homes, finds its way to
the kitchen stove and TO the heating
stove when the f@mer can afford the
second luxury. Burn food! o, out

farmers in the East. But is the prairie
farmer who burns his corn In his stove

There Is no religion in an ear Of corn
that should taboo it from any reasons

trunk of q thousand-years oak. Though
the plains are emerging from them,
there are yet conditions in which TO burn

dashed into the main camp OF II enemy, who,

| Temporarily lief, in command he stOrmed and
took the city OF Namanyan, which had revolt,
ed. For this, though he was but 80 years old,
he was made u Major General In the second
war with khokand he compelled The Khan 10
surrender, and when that country was annexed
he was made its governor and given the third
class cross of St George His next brilliant
feat was in the Russo.Turklsh war. He had

renamed IN the army rs volunteer, and sent
his name ringing through Russia by crossing
the Danube on horseback, sword IN hand at
the head of few men, and driving the Turks
from their positions overlooking SistOwa.

reported at the siege of Plevna, at the head of

seven horses shot from under him, and when
the last had gone led the way into the redoubt
on foot, waving his diamond hllted sword.
His greatest military feat was WHEN, with
10000 men, he stormcd and took Lovtscha in
Bulgaria, and won a strategical point behind
Osman Pashas army. The war was not half
over when he Was made Lieutenant General
and Commander of the Sixteenth Division
When Radetzky and Prince Mersky had both

Of a church scandal, but are not aware of the
fact, nor Will they be until copy of the Argus

which ran as follows

darling once more and gaze into his beloved
eyes. The old mummy that calls herself your
wife will never find it out. How can you en-
dure her? Come darling, to one who truly
loves you. Your own and only MARY"
The good brother had handed in the wrong
announcement. AT the close of the reading
the minister looked horror. struck, the congre
cation stared at Bramley with cold, hard
stares, and his wife rose up in her seat and
glared at him like tigress. He was equal
to the occasion, however, and, rising calmly
and with look of perfect resignation on his
face, he said:

One morning when spring was In her teens
A morn to poets wishing,
All tinted in delicate pinks and greens
Miss Bessie and went fishing.

With my face at the sunshine's mercy;
She with her hat tied down to her nose,
Aud her nose tippcd-vicc versa.

And hamper Tor unching rccesses;
She with the bait of her comely looks,
And the seine OF her golden tresses.
so we sat down on the sunny dixie,
Where the white pond lilies tcetcr
And went a.fshing like quaint old Ike,
And she like Simon Peter.
All the noon lay in the light OF her eyes,
And drcamily watched and waited,
But the fish were cunning aud would not rise
And the batter alone was baited.
And when the time of departure came
The bag was AS fiat as founder,
And Bessie had neatly hooked her game,

The Atlantic cable announces the sudden
death, from heart disease, at Moscow on the
7th inst, of Gen. Michael Skobelef, the bril-
liant Russian General. Aside from his spen
did career IN the Russo. Turkish war, he came
prominently into public notice last winter
through some ultra panslavic ulterances Ia
Paris and elsewhere, toreshadowing as newt
able a desperate struggle between the Slavs
and the Germanin, which, with French sympa
thy and aid, he predicted the Slavs would
conquer. We find the following brief biog
raphy OF the deceased in the New York Sun.
Gen. Michael Skobeletf was probably the
most popular man In Russia and the most pic
turesque soldier in Europe. In peace he ex
ceeded the swells of the kingdom for his fond
ness for dress and the daintincss of his tastes
In war he was the embodiment of bravery and
the personIfcation Of reckless fury. Clad IN
a white uniform that gittered with gold braid
and mounted on white horse, he led his men
to victories snatched out of the very CULTS Of
death, and il was said of those he commanded
that they idolized him, and seemed to prefer
death at the heels Of his horse to victory under
any other commander. He was of soldiery
carriage and fine physique. blue eyed, brown
haired and full bearded. He came of a race
Of soldiers. His grandfather, father and him
self were all Generals and Chevaliers of st
George, and valor got each one his title ant
honors. Michael was the youngest Russian
General. He graduated from the Military
Academy in ST. Petersburg IN 1863 and, with
out serving in the Guards, he at once pitched
into battle In Turkestan at the head of corp!
Of Cossacks. lie was then 2j years old. HI
remained In Turkestan until 1871, and wen
thence to the Caucasus on the staff Of the
Grand Duke Michael Later he commanded
a battalion OF the Seventy fourth Regiment o.
the line, and in 1873 he was transferred Il
khiva, where the Gar was fighting the Khan
When the formalily Of military discipline ham
peied HIM IN this campaign, he deliberately
disobeyed orders, aud at the same time CAV,
evidence OF his genius as soldier. In the
same campaign, in order 10 finish and deliver
his report to Gen. Kaufman, he and MacGa
han, the famous war correspondent, renamed
In the palace Of the Khan when il seemed
madness TO larry there. For this and a re
connolssance In disguise 10 the Turcoman DIES
ert he was given the Cross of 81. George of th,
fourth class. When Don Carlos was fighting
for the throne Of Spain Skobeleff Joined hi,
stan avowedly 10 study war out of Russia, bu
probably because he could not keep away iron
