KID Wade Lynched in Nebraska

The report has reached Sioux City from
upper Elkhorn county ia Nebraska, that
kid" Wade, leader of the Niobrara oUt
laws and horse thieves, was hange by vigI
lants. The vigilants have their headquar-
tiers at a place called "The Pen" at the
mouth of the Long Pine. They have ar
rested a large number of men in various
parts of Northern Nebraska taken them
aw4y to "The Pen," where they are tried
and disposed of. The fate of those arrested
is not definitely known, but as they were
never seen again, it is supposed that they
are shot, hanged or conducted out of the
country. The terrible earnestness OF
the vigilants, and mystery OF
their ways, causes men to shud-
der when their doings ar mentioned. 1t is
positively known that they have lynched
eleven men, and equally sure that Others
have met the same late, but how many, or
by what means, only the grim executioners
and lean kyotes of the Long Pine can tell.
Kid Wade was captured at lie Mars about
three weeks ago by two of these avengers.
He WAS taken IN a stable, the officers hav-
ing succeeded in gettins between him and
his weapons, and wisely made no resistance.
He was a small man and only about TWEEN
ty-oue years OF age, but in that time seems
to have lived at least fifty years of sill.

Yatalitx Among Colts.

r. M-We lose many foals every
Spring by some disease, the chief symp-
tom of which, constipation. We usual
ly give physic and injections, with very
little success. What should be done to
prevent these losses?
ANs.-The case of the foals requires
preventive measures. Keep the mares
bowels open through the Winter by
feeding bran mashes or cut humps ai
least twice a week. Whatever affects
the dam troubles the colt, as while the
colt is unborn or sucking; the food of
the mare, of course, nourishes the young
animal. A colt may thus be born sick
unless care is exercised. But how very
often is this fact wholly neglected? IL
is of very little use and indeed danger
Gus to physic a colt so young as this.
1t is betterto give the physic to the mare,
and the colt will get it in the milk. As
soon as the colt is found to be constipa-
ted, give the mare a mash of linseed
stepped in boiling water overnight,
Al Tablespoonful Of molasses or honey
which is far preferable-wil1 make an
easy and excellent laxative for a colt.

There is quite q difference between
the common turkey and the large
bronze variety. Young gobblers of a

known to weigh forty pounds, and pairs
of bronze turkeys Of longer growth,
often weigh three times as much as a
pair of the common stock.

to allow the accommodations OF droppings

Poultry-keeping without pains-taking
is proftless.
The Jersey Reds are said to grow to
larger size than any other breed Of hogs,
but require longer time for maturity.
The heaviest weights have been attained
by Jersey Reds, and they are hardy and

mated with Essex or Berkshire bears.

A BORN LAWYER.


Htmself, and Was Never Convicted.
From the Louisville Courier-JournaL
The simple announcement was made
In the various papers yesterday that
John Young was dead. Few people who
read the notice knew what a strange
career was ended. John Young was
about As years Of age when he died, and
during that time probably forty years
were spent in q fight against the law.
He was arrested for every crime from
theft to rape, and was never convicted.
The story of his various indictments
ard trials would be a long one; and
they ended in the same words, "Not
guilty" Young was a born lawyer.
Without education or refinement or
reading, he yet seemed to absorb the
whole criminal code, He was his own
lawyer, and the shrewdest members of
the bar had to bow before his superior
dexterity. All the cases against him
were strong and clear. The prosecu-
ton was always sure of q conviction,
but when the time came for trial thu
keen eye Of Young would detect some
flaw, and he invariably escaped. He
was a clean black eyed, well-buiIt hand
some fellow, with the manner of a re-
fined gentleman. Nobody could talk
better or smoother than he, and none
could wear so aggrieved an expression
when any n was brutal enough to &C.
cuse him of wrong-doing. Sometimes
he threw the mask off and laughed Gym
ically at law and society, and boosted Of
how he was able. to defy the n and
beat the other. His crimes were all
| of the same kind. He was no vulgar rob-
| Der who resorted to brutal force: he
| invariably used stratagem and fnesse.
| Once he violated these self-imposed reg
ulations. He was travelling on the
Louisville and Nashville Road, on an
Alderman's pass, by the way, and saw a
| young girl who struck his fancy. He at
once assumed the role Of conductor, and
threatened to put the girl off the train If
she didnot yield. She was a timid, mild
hammered country girl, and was scared
into compliance. Everything was done
with characteristic. audacity. For
weeks the papers were full of the outrage,
and every one was satisfied that Young's
long career Of crime would come to an
end. But by some legal technicality he
slipped out OF the clutches of the law,
and boosted Of his success.
Young travelled about a great deal,
unwilling, doubtless, to cramp such
talents in one community; and many
are the stories that are told about his
expedients to relieve himself Of the
trifiing annoyance Of board bills. One
Of his favorite expedients was to play
preacher, and his fine figure, his serious
face, and his general air Of reserve and
dignity made the delusion perfect.
Sometimes he lost his head, and was
guilty Of a more than ordinary piece of
bold rascality, but as soon as he was
brought up for trial his native shrewd-
ness carried him through. He used to
say that laws we're made to be broken,
and that no law could be SO worded as
not to be cvaded. OF late years Young
has lived q quiet, orderly life. He had
many friends, for he was of d genial,
generous nature, and his funeral yestes-
day was largely attended.

Neighbors Exchanging aailk.

According to statistics, the production
Of butter in this country has become an
item of vast Importance, upwards Of
$4,000, 900 worth being made annually.
In many towns the matter Of establish
ing factories. or creameries for the
manufacture of butter on a larger scale
than can be done by any one farmer is
being discussed. In our boyhood DAYS
farmers used to exchange milk with
their neighbors, for the purpose of make
ing a larger cheese, in a shorter length
of time. A. would weigh his milk and
deliver it to b. for one or more
days, according to the guam
tity of milk each had and the size Of the
cheese desired to be made, and in re-
turn B. would deliver an equal amount
of milk to A. Fifty years ago the
farmers wives knew how to make good
favored cheese, and used to vie with
each other in making the best. Cheese
in those days brought from four to six
cents q pound, and it was considered
profitable to make it. Now the price
has more than doubled, Notwithstanding
there is made annually upwards of 240,-
600 900 pounds most of which is made
in factories established for the purpose.

Preserving Shingles and Timber.

The agricultural editor of the New
York Times says that the best preserva-
tive of shingles or any other kind of
timber is some oil that soaks into the
pores and protects them against moist
ure and air. Crude petroleum is the
best preservative because it is quickly
absorbed and penetrates into the wood,
contains a strongly antiseptic acid, viz,
carbolic acid, and is free from all in
furious and destructive substances.
The shingles should be dipped in the
oil and thrown into an empty barrel or
tub to drain and dry, and it is better to
do this on a warm day when the suns
heat will render the oil fluid, Gas tar
local tar contains an injurious acid and
is a damage rather than a help; but if it
is made hot and a peck of lime is added
to a barrel of it to neutralize che acid, it
makes a good preservative for timber.
Lime is useful when used In the follow
ing manner: 1t is slaked with enough
water to reduce it to a thick liquid, and
the shingles or other timbers are put
into it while it is hot; the heat expands
the air In the pores of the timber and
drives it out, also vaporizes the mois-
ture; as the lime cools it ~penetrates into
these empty pores, n~eutralizes the acids
of the timber, and ~coagulates the albu-
men of it, and forms insoluble COM
pounds with them, by which the timber
is made more durable. Fence posts and
shingles are best treated in this way by
putting them in o pit OF tank with the
dry quick-lime mixed among them, the
water is then added to Stake the lime,
and the whole is left for two or three
days. OF all these methods that with
crude petroleum is the best.-RuraI

DEATH OF JNo. A. STEVENSON.

LIN 1 II VI uN VI II, q u LIN GUN.
The sad intelligence reaches US this
morning that Col. John A. Stevenson of
Iberville died at his residence on the
Claiborne plantation, in that parish, last
night at 10 O'Clock, of congestive fever. Col.
Stevenson had reached the age of G6 years
and was one of the best known citizens
and planters of Louisiana. A Republican
in politics and man of marked indepen-
dence and force of character, he was made
the nominee Of the Republican party for
Governor i'll the recent campaign and ran
ahead of his ticket in all parts of the State,
being accredited with as large vote on
the face of the returns as it would have
been possible for any Republican to have
obtained under the circumstances.
His extensive planting interests include
sugar, rice and cotton plantations in sew
eral parishes-St. John, Iberville, West
Feliciana, Red River and perhaps one or
two others-which will presumably be
inherited by his three surviving children,
two sons and daughter grown to manhood
and womanhood.
The remains of the lamented deceased
will be transported to New Orleans to-day
for interment.
