II. G. STEADMAN, II prosperous farmer
near Lyons, Neb., had man in his employ
named John Anderson, whom he discharged.
This SO enraged Anderson that he shot
Steadman in the bowels, killing him almost
instantly. The murderer then mounted one
of Steadmans horses and fled, being soon
followed by mounted posse. During the
chase the assassin kept uD continued fire
at his pursuers, two Of his shots taking ef-
feet, one killing NJ. p. johnson, and the
other striking one of the party in the leg.
The murderer was finally brought to bay in
barn, which was at once surrounded and
n deadly fusilade commenced. The MUIR
derer was armed with revolver and VIM
chester rifle, and sn incessant firing was
kept up several hours, during which time
two of the posse received fatal wounds, and
several had their horses shot from under
them. At an early hour in the evening the
party became desperate and set fire to the
barn, which had the desired effect, rs An
derson's body was found among the ruins
after the fire had subsidized. The barn and
contents were valued at $4,000, which will
be made good to the owner by the county.

flooding thousands Of acres Of land in that
locality. Large numbers Of farm houses
were flooded, the occupants being forced to
fee to the uplands for safety Fortunately
no loss of life occurred, and SO far as re-
ported only small amount Of live stock
persisted. However, the loss to farmers
will be very heavy, as many outbuildings,
fences, ETC., were swept away. and consid-
erable grain damaged. Several miles Of
track on the Milwaukee Railroad was
washed out, causing a suspension II freight
traffic and compelling the company to trans
fer passengers and baggage in boats. Al

The Oleomargarine Question.

A New York dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune, June 23d, says that Senator War
ner Miller, in talk about the oleomar-
garine bill and its reference to the agri-
cultural committee Of the senate instead
of to the finance committee said " The
issue was square one whether the bill
should go to a friendly or hostile committee.
The finance committee was positively known
to have majority of its members opposed to
the oleomargarne bill, and if it had got to
that committee the bill would either have
been put to sleep or so changed that when
reported it would have been useless for the
protection of dairymen. We could only have
got the bill out by vote to discharge the
committee from its fourth consideration, a
rare proceeding Senator Morrill,, the chair
man of the finance committee, knew this as
well as any one else, and, although he voted
to refer it to his own committee, his explana-
ton of his vote showed what he really
thought about the matter. OF course he
could not give his committee away by voting

is the purpose of the physician to remove
the venerable senator to Vermont as soon
as he is able to travel, for the unusual cool

physician in attendance upon Senator Nor
rill, said that his patient was doing well.
The senator he says, has been on the mend
for the past five days, and he expects that
he will be able to sit up in a day or two. He
is now seventy-six years of age, and until
recently he has had remarkably good health
The people of Vermont whom he has served
so long and faithfully, will hope for his
speedy and complete recovery.

Neglected Cemeteries.

Mr.. Editor:-H you please, print the fol-
lowing for good purpose: There is now one
of the oldest cemeteries in this county Ua-
moille) that is more or less covered with
dead brush on the ground and second
growth of shrubbery from five to ten feet
high, briers covering a large portion of the
yard and the graves. Some of the pioneer
settlers, and also some men of note, rest in
that neglected old cemetery. Such public
neglect fails to speak well for the good peo-
pie of that town - the Lamoille county
seat-and is also legal neglect. All men
doing public business should have the inde-
pendent principle of right, regardless of
friends and self-interest. This may apply
to some printers.

Collector Smalley's Case.

A Washington special to the Journal says:
The senate has as yet taken no action in
the matter of the nomination of Colonel b.
B. Smalley to be collector at Burlington,
Vermont All inquiries made of Senator
Edmunds have been met by statement
that there is nothing against Colonel
Smalley personally, but-the but is sup
posed to refer to the implied reflection upon
General Wells in his removal. 1t does not
seem probable that Colonel Smalley will be
confirmed at this session. In that case the
President will undoubtedly renominate
Smalley the day the senate adjourns. There
will be no interregnum and this admnistra-
ton will, of course, not permit General
Wells to be restored"
