4 LOVE SONG.

All swan of slenderness, dove of tenderness
Jewel of joys arise !
The little red lark, like rosy spark
Of song. to his sun-burst flies;
But till you are risen, earth is prison,
Full of my captive sighs,
Then wake. and discover to your fond lover
The morn of your matchless eyes.
The dawn is dark to me; bark, oh bark to me
Pulse of my heart, pray,
And gently gliding out of thy hiding,
Dazzle me with thy day!
And oh I'll fly to thee, singing, and sigh to thee
Passion so sweet and gay,
The lark shall listen, and dewdrops glisten,
Laughing on every spray.

OF THE oToE LANDS.

A dispatch from Senator Van Wyck
brings the information that the sale OF
the 0toe reservation has been ordered
for May 30th. The lands will be sold
at the Beatrice land Office to the high
est bidder at one fourth cash and the
remainder In one, two and three years
time. All deferred payments will be
at the rate OF FIVE per cent interest.
This settles a question which has
been troubling many of our people for
some time and definitely fixes q date at
which the Otoe lands will be placed
on the market.
The Otoe reservation originally eY.
tended from the southeastern corner
of our state westward, nearly to Fort
Kearney. Under the treaty of De-
cember 9, 1854, the Otoes coded to
the United States all their country
west Of the Missouri, except q strip of
land ten miles In width on the Big Blue
aud some 90 miles long. This reser.
walton was still further reduced by the
act of June 10, 1872, when 80, 900 ad-
ditional acres were coded from the
western portion In Kansas and Ne.
br sska, reducing Its limits to a terri
tory eight miles by v In Gage,
Nebraska and Marshal county Kan
sas. The reduced reservation con
tained some Of the most fertile lands
in the South Platte country, aud the
rapidity with which 1t was surrounded
by settlements made Its extinction az

it's sale The law as at first introduced
was amended 80 q, to prevent as far a
possible the gobbling up of the reser
walton by spectators. In fact as soor

lands was known, several rings wers

Murdoch, of Wymore, was reported
to have done a thriving trade at $2i

Robblng the Government.

The proposition that corporations
have no souls was never more fully
sustained than It Is In the case of tho
Union Pacific railroad. This institu.
ton has bsen treated with a gener-
osity by the government which, it Ia

The general advance In the grain

u~nfavorable outlook for the growing
wheat crop and marked decrease In the
movement OF all cereals from the In.
terror. There has been . heavy fall.
ing eff in the visible supply Of wheat
and q large decrease In the stock of
corn In sight. The decrease In corn
il especially noticeable Is being the
first falling of that has occurred
for several months, and the In.
dioations point to q further reduction
this week. Last week the daily re-
oeipts of corn at u western oeLters
were scarcely more than half what
hoy were q month ago. II this light
movement continues o further appre'
toiation of values is looked for as CORE
ID always In demand In European mar
kets at this time Of the year. This
season cannot be an exception to the
rule, owing to the backward condition
Of the spring crops in Europe and tn
continent.
The export inquiry for wheat Is i'm
proving. Reports concerning the
growing crops continue u~nfavorabls
from large sections of the winter
wheat belt. Bulls on the market SCI
down Illinois and Indiana q not likely
to produce more than 80 per cent Of
an average yield, while In nearly all
the western states there is m
estimated shortage of 20 per cent, as
compared with last year. From these
reports it IL doubtful II the crop Of
1883 oan be larger than that
of 1881, which was three hun
dred and eighty million bushels
against five hundred million bushels
both for 1880 and 1882. This un.
satisfactory outlook Is having the
effect Of lsssening deliveries from the
hands of farmers. Last week only
6s3, 900 bushels were unloAded at six
of our westarn centres against $780,
600 buAhels for the corresponding
week In March, Every Indication
