Nebraska City child murderer, to be hanged
on the 25th of March, next. In passing SEN
tence the judge said:
"You have been found guilty Of one of the
greatest crimes in the VIII lie catalogue OF
crimes, the murder OF your own child. II
shocks human nature to believe that so fend
sh spirit as you showed In that terrible TRACE
dy SHOULD take possession of the human soul.
The untimelv taking off OF any human being
for any cause, is calculated at all times To
arouse our emotion ami stir our sympathies.
But when father, out Of the deep depravity
of ais heart, regardless alike Of the ties Of ma
ture and the Obligations of law, inhumany
and barbarously slavs his own child, we are
heart broken and stand aghast at the immeas
ureable wickedness Tn, father who would
do deed ] Ike this is no longer a man; he is a
monster at whose sight innocence shudders,
and from whose side all men stand away as
from q beast Of prey. You are

II YOU can destroy yodr own children, whose
child. whose Life is safe! But your wickedn ,ss
and depravity viii soon eliminate in your. de-
struction. You have forfti ed your right to
live, and the doom that awaits the mur lerer
will soon be visited on you. For the young
and innocent life you DESTROYED, the law now
deman Is yours. / am persuaded that your
hard and cruel heart cannot be toucht d b.
any words o. mine and leave you to contem
plate your run and misery, and the desola.
ton you have wrought, and to prepare TO-
that unseen world into which you will soon b.
hurried. Nothing now remains for me but 10
pronounce upon YOU the sentence Of the law,
which sentence is that you be taken hence to
the jail at Otoe county, whence you came, and
there be kept in close confinement until the
25th day of March, 1887, aud that On said day
you be taken thence to the place of your exc
cution, TO be prepared as provided by law, and
that between the hours of 10 o'clock in the
forenoon and O'Clock in the afternoon OF
said day, you be hanged by the neck until
dead, and may God have mercy on " ur.

How to Pack Stiffs.

in it but Baldwins or Ramboes, or

stiff was lifted up the elevator into the

the apples in the alley. Next morning

A Hollow Mockery.

Tho marriage Of Miss Eva Mackay
TO Prince Colonna is defined rs having
been the sorest blow her step-father
was dealt by tho hands he loved. He
had fervid, fatherly affection for this
child Of his predecessor. and Is believed
to have bcheld in the Colonna match
only hollow sham, u sort Of callous
sacrifice OF the daughter to tho ambi-
tons Of the mother The sacrifice, II
such II was, completely failed Of its Of
feet Not door In Paris was opened
to Mrs. Mackay or the Princes Colonna
that had not been opened before The
pgans sung by the yenal trumpcters Of
the press were hollow mockercs. and
the man of common sense recognized.
at last, that the cachet of society Is not
to be bought by money or compelled by
noise. Then the horror Of the whole
situation dawned on him. He suddenly
saw the gibe behind the fulsomc praise.
and the grin of mockery on the smiling
faces he had all along been cajoled into
believing all honesty and friendship.
This, IL is asserted, led him TO have the
English campaign of Mrs. Mackay re-
ported to him by disinterested observ-
or Of 1t. and the report clinched his
determination to stay the progress OF
affairs. at least, as far rs he could. Tho
rest time alone can show. The Ingis-

The Epistolary Art.

1t is maintained with good deal of
vigor by some newspaper writers, chief
ly women who have left themselves
very few individual relations, that no.
body writes letters nowadays. Men do
not write letters, it is true, unless they
are in that brief period which makes up
the existence of the su tor. But wom-
Ell have by no means given over entire
ly the art epistolary, and there Is a
word to be said about the form Of tho
modern letter of intimate friendship.
1t is scarcely worth while in this day Of
expressed cordially to begin letter
for a person to- whom one writes very
often in the conventional manner. The
division of the paper, and the my
dear friend" on a separate line does
very well for all the courtesies Of cor
respondence which are outside the pale
of close ties of family or affect on.
But it is coming to be more the fashion,
born of kindliness, to begin with a
cheerful, informal sentence, in which
the my dear" or the name of the per-
son to whom one is writing appears.
There are. Of course, grades, of in
timacy in which this way is impossible;
for example, it should never be used in
addressing a person much older than
ones self, or younger person who has
not the power to recognize the delicacy
of relation indicated by its use. Doe

COURT SENSATION.
Dramatic Scene Mt the Trial OF the
Milwaukee Hooters.

DTauhuuc scene at the Trial OF the
Milwaukee Rioters.
Milwaukee dispatch: There was sensa-
tional scene in Judge Sloan's court this
evening at the close OF tho trial OF Paul
Grottkan and Albert Moessinger, who arc
charged with melting the labor riots at the
Milwaukee garden last May. The entire
day had been consumed in argument, Judge
Sloan had concluded the delivery OF his
charge, the jury were just filing out, and the
crowd that had damned the court room
was on the point Of departure, when their
exit was arrested by rapping to order by
the deputy sherffs. Flourishing a
copy OF Grottkan's paper, the ArbeiteI
Ieitung, District Attorney Williams adj
vanced to the judges desk, and i'm a loud
voice saId "Your honor, desire to call
your attention to gross scandal and a
villainous libel and contempt in connection
with this case" and he pointed to several
marked articles In the paper One was y
poem taking Judge Sloan for "a topic, and
containing the most scurrilous abuse OF
him. The prose articles were OF a similar
tenor, and denounced the jury as bought up
and the witnesses for the state as per jurers.
The action OF the district attorney created
a great sensation. Grottkan turned pale
and hurriedly sought his lawyer. Judge
Sloan said he had hea ri OF the publications
and also that the witness for the state had
been greatly inundated He declared that
n thorough investigation would be made,
and appointed Monday as the day on
which Grottkan would be given an oppor.

PRINCESS wINNEMuccA.
4 Highly Accomplished Indian
Woman, Who Can Speak
Five Languages.

rhNc
Princess Sarah Winnemucca Is
daughter of chief of the Pluto tribe
in Nevada, who passed tho early part
of her life In the barbarous ways Of
her people. When her childhood was
long departed the opportunities for
education came to her, and she made
excellent use of them. Her attain
ments became such as to command the
respect Of her white ncighbors and
make her an intelligent leader of the
scattered remnants of her tribe. Among
her good works is tho establishment Of
u school for Indian children in Nevada,
She is very active for her people, and
loses no opportunity to urge them for
ward in the path to civilization. And
especially does she exhort them to pro-
fit by the lessons of education. A
letter which she recently wrote to some
of her people living in Inyo county.
California, is model Of Indian elo-
quence and argument, and il worthy
of preservation. 1t would be hard to
find in all the literature of pedagogics
stronger appeal to tho untutored
mind 10 avail itself of educational adj
vantages. 1t is proof of the capac-
ity of the Indian intellect and its fit
ness for cultivation. Few who read it
will remain skeptical. She writes:
Brothers and Sisters: Hearing that
you are about to start a school to edu-
cate your children, l want to say
word about it. You all know me;
many Of you are my aunts or cousins.
We are of one race your blood is my
blood. so speak TO YOU for your good.
can speak five tongues; can read and
write and am school teacher. Now l
do not say this to boast, but simply to
say what can be done. When ! was u
little girl there were no Indian schools;
learned under great difficulty. Your
children can learn much more than |
know, and much easier, and it is your
duty to see that they go to school
There is no excuse for ignorance.
Schools are built here and there, and
you can have rs many as you need; all
they ask of you is to send your children.
You are not asked to give money or
horses-only to send you children to
school. The teacher will 60 the rest.
He or she will fit your little ones for
the battle of life, so that they can at
tend to their own affairs instead Of
having TO call on n white man. A few
years ago you owned this great coun-
try; to-day the whit5 man owns it all,
and you own nothing. Do you know
what did it? Education. You see tho
miles and miles of railroad, the loco
tive, the mint in Carson where they
make money. Education has done il
all. Now, what 1t has done for one
man it will do for another. You have
brains the same as the whites, your
children have brains. and it will be
your fault If they grow up as you have.
I entreat you TO take hold Of this

The Last of the Buffalo.

Lost Park is so hard of access that
the few bison still in the State find
that locality place of comparative
safety. Outside Of the remainder Of
this herd, twenty-six in number, Mr..
Sven says there are seven bison Of
this variety still existing in the United
States and twenty of another. The
herd Of seven, according to Mr.. Sven.
is located on RABBIT Ear Range, be-
tween Middle and South Parks. The
other small herd is said to be under
government protection in the Yellow
stone Park. The range in Lost Park
is twenty four by seyenty-fye miles In
length and has an elevation Of nearly
~, 500 feet. Denver Tribune.
