SENATOR cALDwELL's LETTER.

ZiSCOilI Duiy iIiS pto WdSOi DlObC'tOCo w
Mr.. Houck was the following letter from
Senator Caldwell:
LFAvENwoRTH, Kas., june 10, 1884.
d. b. Houck, Esq.
DEAR SIR AND OLD FRIFND-Your wagon
was shipped a few days ago to the care of the
Nebraska implement company. 1t has been
finished for son o time, but was held until we
could ship it with a car load of farm wagons
to Omaha. But our Mr.. WEIGH informed me
you needed it so / thought best to ship 1t at
once. 1t may be important for you to know
that the aXles, wheels, springs and indeed all
wagon are the best. My desire is to furnish
you with a wagon without flaw or blemish,
parts, one thst would be worthy of the
true spirit in which it Is offered.
/ trust you will accept it az q slight token
of my remembrance and regard for one who,
thirty seven years ago, shared with mo the
dangers and privations OF a march from Vera
Cruz to the City of Mexico. What changes
battles of Contreras, Cherubusco, Molina del
Rey, Chapultepec and the Gates of Mexico.
And yet how sad to think of the friends and
companions, who then and there, amid the
smoke of battle, offered their lives as q willing
sacrifice for the victory of our flag.
But Dorsey, we are growiag oldnthA
and aggressive Blaine shall be elected, and he
will be sure, he may decide to take from old
Mexico what we left of It'll 1847. and you can
fallow in your wagon, and like "Helen's
babies" take great pleasure In watching tho
wheels go round" That you may live to see
them Ego round" for forty years or more is the
wish of your old comrade, A. CALDWELL.

THE SEQUEL,

The wagon promised by Senator Cald.
well arrived in the city a day or two ago
and yesterday Mr.. Houck had it out on
the streets where it attracted considerable
attention. 1t is indeed a ''daisy," and is
the most beautiful express wagon ever
seen in Omaha. Mr.. Houck is of course
as proud of it as q boy is of his first pair
of red top boots. MI. Houck values it,
worth, as he does on account of the
spirit of friendship and remembrance in
WEIGH it was presented to him.
The wagon has a panel body, wine
colored, running gear cream colored,
morocco cushion seat, express springs,
(three v French round. head elliptic
springs), shafts and pole complete. The
tires and axles are of steel, and the tires
round edge. The initials sd. B. H.
appear in gold letters On the end gate.
The word express" and the license
number GAP" appear on each side of the
seat. The cost of this wagon was about
$3.50.
The Caldwell wagon, by the way, Is
standard all over the United States, and
it is a great favorite in Nebraska. Mr.
M. d. WEIGH, of Lincoln, is the general
western agent. He is the
president of the Nebraska
implement company, located in Omaha
atsF.D Cooper's old stand, on Fourteenth
street, between Harvey and Howard,
and having a large warehouse, near the
Union Pacific track at the Thirteenth
street crossing. This company handles
the Caldwell wagon.
The Kansas manufacturing company,
of which Senator Caldwell is president is
located at Leavenworth, where it has
immense shops. The wood shop is 80
feet wide by go feet long, and the
blacksmith shop is 30 by 300 feet. The
company manufacturers all kinds of
farm, freight, spring and express wagons,
and is one of the largest and most sue
cessful establishments of the kind in the
country.

VOLCANOES AND WEATHER.

A remarkable coincidence of severe vol
canic eruption, says Sergeant Barwick, is in
the reports of the two severest ones on record
as occurring exactly 100 years apart. The
first severe one began in May, 1888, when
the famous volcano Hecla, in Iceland, COM
menced vomiting out smoke and ashes, which
continued for period of more than two
months. This smoke and ashes rose to 8
great hight in the atmosphere, and spread
over nearly the whole of Europe and q greater
part of North America, producing what Is
called dry fog, and exhibited very peculiar
characteristics. The next great and prolonged
volcanic eruption began in May, 1888, and
continued for period of over two months.
This last one was decidedly on a more grand
and extensive scale than its predecessor of
100 years ago, viz, May, 1888. This last
one also produced very peculiar characters.
tics, and there is no doubt now in my mind,
after perusing Professor Lockyer's letter, but
what our red sunsets are produced by the
very minute atoms of volcanic ashes, which
are floating now SO high in the atmosphere
that the rains do not wash them out, and will
not do SO until they have fallen to that point
in our atmosphere where rain clouds are most
frequently formed, which is from 5000 to
5000 and 5000 feet above the earth.

TIE CHINESE RIOT CASES.

Two separate indictments were found
against several Chinaman for charge OF
riot. ORe of the indictments was the People
vs. Charlie Sing ct al, the other the People
vs.. All Ban ct al. In addition to these in
dictments there was an Indictment against
Mock Soon for murder, against Charley Sing
for murder, and against Lu Die for murder.
The offenses are all charged as occurring a.
the time of the riot, and growing out OF the
same affray. Motions were made to set
aside each of the indictments. on the ground
that witnesses examined before the Grand
jury testified with reference to the riot, and
whose names did not appear on each one of
the indictments. The names of Z. L. Jones
and other witnesses who were examined be-
fore the Grand Jury appeared on some OF the
indie sments, but not on all. while their
names did not appear on all the indictments,
yet there were names appearing on
each one of the indictments upon which the
Grand Jury reported The Court decided
that the presumption of law was that the
Grand Jury had Endorsed on the indictment
the names of the witnesses who swore to the
charges in the indictments ; that there was
no evidence to the contrary, and for that
reason overruled the motion to set aside the
indictments. The defendants then fled de-
murrers to each Indictment. The Court
overruled the demurrsrs. and the defendants
entered their plea of not guilty. As to the
cases of the People vs.. Rider, the Chief of
Police, Matt. Karcher, and MIR. Grice, were
called as witnesses, and testified that they
had been examined before the Grand Jury as
witnesses, with reference to the subject mat
ter of the charge contained in the several in
dictments against Ride, as to receiving brides
and agreeing to receive brides for the protec.
ton OF faro games, and to protect them
against arrest. AS to what they testified to
before the Grand Jury the Court refused to
allow them to state, and only permitted them
to say that they testified to the subject mat
ter. These names did not appear on any of
the indictments against Rider, and for this
reason the Court distinguished these cases
from the Chinese cases, in which all the
names did appear on some one of the indiet-
meuts. The Court decided that all the in
dictments against Rider should be set aside,
and that the charges, each of them. should
be submitted to the same Grand Jury on
Tuesday, the 18th of January, or as soon
thereafter as the Court can get them together
