FARM NOTES.

A Farmers Alliance was recently organ
lied at Sioux Falls, Oak.
The Grandin farm, ia Trail County,
Oak, reports 2l4,53 bushels Of wheat as
this years crop, grown on o. $50 acres, an
average OF over twenty-five bushels per
acre.
The second convention OF the Nebraska
Dairymcn's Association was held at Sut-
ton December "a, Is and 10, and was at
tended by many prominent dairymen. Tho
dairy interests OF Nebraska are yet in their
infancy, but they are growing.
James Cooper, farmer residing six
miles west of Arapahoe, Neb, recently
hauled to that town forty tons OF broom
corn. This required thirty three teams.
Shipments Of broom corn from ArHpahoo
have boon very heavy this season.
Our farmers hold their corn with great
tonacity, even to the detriment Of the mill
ing business. But since they have waited
so long for a good crop they can not bs
blamed for retaining il. Corn retails for
forty-hyo cents a bushel.- Wa KscHey (KdH.)

cATsHlNA PALACE.
DescrIpti On Of the winter Quarters Of tho
Gar and Crarfnn.

Car and Cxarina.
The great palace not only provides
accommodation for the Emperor and
Empress and their suites, but for the
Emperor's brothers and the imperial
household in its entirety. A number
of apartments are also preserved for
state occasions. The rooms inhabited
by the Emperor Nicholas and the En-
press are still kept in their original
condition. Portraits Of the Prussian
royal family, and gifts from the same,
are to be seen on every side. The ''play
hall' is n unique room, offering faoili-
ties for all kinds of amusements in the
in the winter. There is a stage, on
which Grand Dukes and ladies OF the
court often play. There are slopes
down which imperial and other high
personages slide on cushions; there are
swings. climbing poles, ball games,
and in fact an endless variety OF amuse-
ments. The Emperor and Empress
pass the winter here in quiet with their
family. The castle, however, gives the
impression Of a strongly fortified re-
treat. In front there is a deep moat,
which can be filed any moment with
water, while the approaches, defended
by cannon, can be Isolated by the draw
ing MP of the bridges, The castle Is
protected by moats on three sides, these
certainly lending to the charm of the
park. The palace of Gatshina Is
only one of number Of residences
which the Emperor possesses in
the neighborhood Of st. Petersburg
and the majority of which he never
visits. One of them. Taizi, has pecu-
liar history. 1t belonged to one Demi-
doff, who was a man of fortune. lie
gave brilliant banquets and maintained
his own company of musicians, some
Of whom were clever artists, who had
studied in Paris. This wealthy man
often showed very foolish eXtraya-
gance, while at times his conduct
psrtook of eccentricity. His daughter
was betrothed to nobleman, and the
day of the marriage was fixed, but in
stead of attending the wedding the
father sent letter. in which he ex-
pressed regret at not being present,
and asked that a representative he
sent might be cOurteously received.
| This representative was driven up in
a richly equipped carriage, with gayly-
dressed coachman and attendants, and
il proved to be dead pig, which was
stuffed with gold pieces and precious
stones-thc paternal weddiDg-gift. On
another occasion Demidoif bought an
estate and invited the late owner to
his palace. Here he made him dead
drunk and then sent him home in a
coffin, having first informed his family
that he was absolutely dead. The rel
atives received the coilined man with
tears, but what was their surprise to
find the dead man coming TO his senses
and the vacant space in the coffin filed
with gold pieces? This palace at
Taizi Is now in complete disorder

Death of Ex-senator Chafcee.

Ex-United States Senator Jerome B. Chaffee,
of Colorado, died on the 9th inst at the resi-
dence of his daughter, Mrs. Ulysses. Grant, at
Salem Center, n. Y. He was born i'll Niagara
County, n. Y, in 1925, and in 1860 went to
Colorado, where he rapidly amassed large
fortune in mining speculations. On Oct. l.,
1881, his daughter was married to Ulysses S..
Grant, jr., son of the dead General. At the
time ofctlrs-n4a5siage of his daughter to young
Grant he had 81 GOO, 000in cash securities and he
gave her 5000 600 in bonds. These were all put
into the firm Of Grant & Ward, and every dol
lar was lost in the grand crash of May, 1854.
He had been losing heavily in his Wall street
speculations, and when he started West, just
before the Grant & Ward failure, he had placed
half a million in cash securities in the hands
of his son-in-law to keep for him during his
absence. 1t was not an investment, nor was it
for the purpose of securing any investments.
This money reached the hands of Ward, and
was lost, and Mr.. Chaffee was left pennilcss.
Since this disastrous affair he had been living
in retirement.

Executed While vnconxeious from Poison.

Patrick Ford and John Murphy were exc
cuted at New Orleans La, on Friday last for
the murder OF Capt. L. j. Murphy, Dec. l, 1884.
Both the culprits were unconscious from the
effects Of beladonna which they had procured
from some source unknown, when they were
carried from their cells and were hanged while
in that condition.
The history of the crime for which the men
suffered was remarkable one. Capt. Murphy,
New Orleans ward politician, had openly
charged Judge Thomas l. Ford, Recorder of the
city, with being a thief. The Judge brought a
criminal action for libel against Murphy, and
the latter threatened to make good his accusa-
ton in court. The time for the trial was fixed,
but the day before it came on six men, headed
by Judge FoTd's brother, made preconcerted
attack on Murphy in the street and shot him
TO death, many persons witnessing the tragedy
Subsequent inquiry revealed the fact that the
assailants were all officers of the law who, while
under oath TO keep the peace, had banded to-
gether to commit murder, having been instigated
thereto by the City Recorder. Judge Thomas l.
Ford was sentenced to 90 years for conspiracy.
He was brother of Patrick Ford. A determined
effort was made to get the men freed, but a
committee of citizens pressed the prosecution,
and Ford and Murphy were sentenced to be
hanged Nov. 49, 1885. The efforts in their be-
half were then carried before the Board of Par
dons but without success. Two reprieves were
granted by the Governor.

He Loved Her.

Saddle Hayes a negro woman, who is under
sentence of death at st. Louis for murder, was
the other day the recipient of a singular love
token from VIM. Lacey, a burglar who has
just been removed from the city Jail to the
penitentiary. While in Jail the two, though
confined in separate cells, became affectionate
and the woman, when hearing that Lacey was
about to be removed to the peGitentiary, wrote
him a note saying that if he thought as much of
her as he pretended to- he would send her his
finger with a ring upon it. After receiving the
note he tore open the sole of his shoe and ex-
tracted the steel shank and sharpened it TO
razor edge on the walls of his cell. He then
cut OFF the small finger of his right hand at the
second joint, placed the ring on the severed
finger and sent them to the cell of the woman.
He tied up the stump with piece of string and
then wrapped his hand up in handkerchief.
The Jail guards discovered the blood and soon
learned what had happened. They took the
dismembercd finger from the woman. Lacey's
only explanation for his conduct is: 81 loved
her." He is perfectly sane.

The Wrong Men Hanged.

Last Spring Neal Craft and Ellis were hanged
in Boyd County, KY, for the murder, on Christ
mas Eve, 1881, of two girls and boy. Neal was
lynched, and the others were put to death by
due process of law. 1t is now rumored that
the three men were entirely innocent of the
crime for which they suffered. For some time
several gentlemen have been employing de-
tectives to sift every theory and investigate
every clew. Their work has been crowned
with the greatest success and it is claimed that
the arrest of the real criminals will soon follow.
The evidence against them is said to be con-
elusive, and will show that the triple murder
was committed carly i'll the evening; that the
perpetrators went to the house by appointment
with one Of the girls, who had previously been
on intimate terms with one of them, and that
the triple murder followed an unintentional
killing of tho boy for resisting assaults on the
girls. The suspected parties hold very respect

Eighty Planners Poisoned,

One afternoon last week about so inmates of
the almshouse at Lebanon, Pa, were seized
with vomiting and severe pains. DR.. Weiss,
theattending physician was hastily summoned,
and at once pronounced it a case of wholesale
poisoning. Measures were promptly taken to
counteract the poison. Some of the victims
were critically i'll, but finally recovered. An
investigation revealed the fact that all who
drank of the coffee prepared for the noon meal
were sick, and the doctor soon found the coffee
pot lined with thick sediment of Paris green
The vessel holds a barrel Or more, and into this
some person had thrown almost four pounds of
the poison. The doctor is of the opinion that
had it not been for the fact that the poison was
too strong, causing instant vomiting, more than
half the inmates of the almshouse would now
be dead.

An Exnress Messenger Murdered.

When the express train from Chicago arrived
at Morris, ILL.,, on Saturday morning last, the
messenger of the United States Express Co.,
kellogg Nichols, did not appear at the door as
usual. The agent waited for several minutes
on the platform and, tired of the delay, opened
the door himself. BE found the body of the
unfortunate Nichols lying in corner, covered
with blood, the safe open and all the valuables
missing. The interior of the car bore evidence
of a terrible struggle, and in one hand of the
murdered man was bunch of red hair and in
the other bunch of black hair. The baggage
man, n. Ii. Watts, n young man about "a years
old, said that just after the engineer had
whistled for Mnook masked man entered the
car, and putting gun to his head compelled
him to keep quiet. He could hear some one at
work at the safe behind him. Shortly before
the train arrived at Morris the robbers left.
