Result of tine semi Annual Examination
Deposits Larger than Ever Before.

Hon. f. E. Richards, the bank examiner,
has completed his first examination of the
savings banks of this State, and has found
them iu more satisfactory condition than ever

Suicide of a Pemitentiary Convict.

Thomas Cooper, colored, sent to the peni.
itentiary from Omaha in August last for six
years for burglary, committed suicide by
hanging on the 18th. He tied a 175 pound rock
to his feet and jumped from platform be-
hind the cupola in the foundry. At the ring
ing of the noon bell, the keeper of the Nebras-
ka Manufacturing company's shops, ordered
the men under his charge to fall in prior to
marching toward the cell house. Noticing the
absence of Cooper, in the line, he stepped in
the foundry where Cooper was working, and
called on him to fall in. Cooper was then on
the platform of the cupola. "All right, boss,
here CO." were the words spoken, and the
keeper hearing nothing further, stepped in to
hunt his man. He found him hanging by the
neck, and observing that the fall had broken
his neck. and that any effort to save the man
would prove useless, he turned around, and
led off his line of men to the cell house, and
reported to the warden's office.
The prison officials are at a loss to explain
the reasons which prompted Cooper to COM
init suicide. He appeared always cheerful,
replying to anything said to him in the most
respectful way, and otherwise deporting HIM
self most properly. He has no known rela-
tives of his color, and had been in the state
only one day when he was arrested for the
burglary for which he was sentenced to the
penltentiary.

Mrs. PUGH's BODY FoUND.-An Omaha Re-
publican special from Pierce says: The body
of the insane woman, Mrs. John Pugh, was
found yesterday and given burial. The find
ing was purely accidental. About week
ago. while some Santee Sioux Indians were
hunting above here, they discovered the body
of q woman in Short creek and becoming
alarmed, went back to the agency and report
ed their find to the agent, who sent one of his
Indian police, together with the Indian who
had found her, back to Pierce. The coroner
was notified and a party went out with the In
dams and found the body about two and one
half miles northwest of town, floating in Short
creek. 1t was identified as that of Kate Pugh,
the insane woman that escaped from her
home in Pierce over month ago. The body,
which was considerably decomposed, was in
some four feet of water, near the south bank
of the stream, and is supposed to have been
sunk out of sight while the search was being
made, but fioated afterward. The verdict of
the coroner's jury was that death was by acct
dental drowning.

The Carthage New York. fire was the most
disastrous which ever occurred in that part of
the state. 1t began in row of manufacture
ing buildings on the west side of Black river,
and heavy winds blew the sparks half mile
across the river to two islands filled with
manufacturing institutions. Everything on
the islands was burned, and seventy-hve
acres of the resident part of the town swept
clear of buildings. This embraced the Oldest
part of the town, and contained beautiful
residences, one hundred and sixty dwellings,
burned besides manufacturing institutions,
churches, the town hall, and all the schooi

few household goods were saved The

hundreds of dwelling houses were on fire.

Thirty-three years ago, says an Acworth
(Ga.) dispatch, when the California gold fever
was at its height, there lived in this county a
young man named Wilson, who had pretty
young wife and child. A quarrel between
the couple caused the husband to go to Cali
fornia. a few years later it was announced
that he was dead, and the widow remarked.
Last week there arrived in this city gentle
man about fifty-five years of age, evidently. a
man of means, who began inquiry about the
old families. 1t was the long-absent husband,
who had been appointed commissioner for
California at the New Orleans exposition, and
He found his son, who is married and the
father of family, and has furnished them
means to join him in California, where it is
said he is millionaire. Mr.. Wilson continued
on his way to New Orleans.

THE C4TTLEMEN'S CONVENTION
To Be Held in Chicago or the 1871 and
18th of NOUeniber.

Attic close of the National Convention of
Cattle Breeders, which was held in Chicago,
Nov. 1916, 1888, resolution was adopted con-
tinuing the officers of the convention for the
ensuing year, and authorizing the secretary
| to call a second meeting during the month OF
| November, 1884.
AS the secretary of that organizations and
| acting under the authority thus vested in me,
| / hereby give public notice that the Second
Annual Convention will be held in the city of
Chicago on the 18th and 18th DAYS of Novem-
Der. 1884. Further details as to hour and place
win be published later.
The convention will have before it, among
other subjects, two of great Importance. LIST,
That which was stated in the resolution, viz:
| The forming of q National Association of Cat
tie breeders under a permanent organization.
I'd, to receive the report of the committee on
Legislation, of which Hon. j. b. GrIlnell, of
Iowa, is secretary.
In addition to the delegates present in 1888,
and in the spirit in which the call of one year
ago was issued by the Commissioner of Agri-
culture, Hon. George b. Loring, the represen-
tative of all classes interested in any of the
cattle industries of the United States are cor
daily invited to be present and assured of g.
welcome.
BY correspondence with DIR. Fisher. ESQ.,
secretary of the Illinois state board of agri,
culture, am authorized to state. that the
convention called by him (under date Septern-
her 13th) to meet in Chicago November 18th
and 18th, will join with the convention held
under the present call instead of holding d
separate meeting.
Attention is called to the very important
convention of cattle breeders to be held in
st. Louis on November 18th. Earnest efforts
have been made to obtain q change of last
named date 10 one which would follow the
closing of the Chicago Fat Stock Show" and
could such change have been accomplished
the present "call'' would have named ST.
Louis as the place of meeting. This unfOrtu-
nately could not be done owing to engage
ments previously entered into by the repre-
sentatfves of st. Louis, and as attendance
there on the 18th will be impossible to many
OF our delegates, an earlier meeting at Chicago
became imperative on account of the I'M
finished business of last year.
IL is believed that the cattle breeders who
VIII meet at ST. Louis, are animated by the
same motives and objects as this association,
and it is hoped that hereafter but one con-
vention be held annually, in which the in
terests and influence of all will be considered
To this end it is urged that all stockrnen
VINO may attend the convention hereby called
In Chicago will come prepared to go to ST.
Louis afterward and participate fully and
actively in the deliberations there.

Sec'y National Convention of Cattle Breeders.
