HELPING THEMSELVES.
Farmers Capturing Coal Trains to
Obtain Fuel.

News of attacks made on the coal cars Of
the Union Pacific Road by settlers. along the
line in the western part of Nebraska who are
suffering for want of fuel have been re
ceived at the companys headquarters in
Omaha. The terrible cold weather and
the snow blockade have caused a fuel
famine and the farmers have been obliged
to burn coal, hay, fences, outhouses, and in
some instances household furniture to keep
from freezing.
A freight train consisting of several cars
of coal was stopped by hundred armed
men at Cohad, and all the coal was
thrown upon the ground. At Sheldon
a coal train was boarded and the coal thrown
off in the same manner. Similar attacks on
coal trains are reported from Gibbon and
Kearney.

The Fifth Avenue Hotel Louisville.

Louisville has increased in popula.
ton and is remarkable for its i'm
provement in architecture. It's hotel
accommodations have kept pace with
the general advance. Jas. Il. Richie,
proprietor of The Fifth Avemne, stu
ated scarcely IL squares from the
State and Federal Courts, and near
the principal places of amusement,
is up with the times and has recently
rcfurnished this excellent place,
in handsome style. For cleanli-
ness and comfort il is not sur
passed, aud that is the great thing
the desideratum, we might say-in
hotels, thing desired, but seldom
met with. We took II general view
and inspection in detail of the Fifth
Avenue, the other day, and W ere sur
prised and pleased with the comfort
and home-like appearance every
where, from cellar to attic. The tables
do not groan under the abundance,
but would ifthey knew how, for there
is plenty of well-cooked and we'll
served food in variety placed upon
them to tempt tie inner man. This
hotel is pronounced to be the best 81
hotel on the continent, and we con-
fess that 1t looks that way, for it
seemed to us to be fully equal to
many of the SO houses where we have
rested in our peregrinations.

THEY RATIFIED.

D.. a.
The Republicans, according TO pre-
yious announcement, swooped down
on the town last Friday night. 1t is
not our intention al this late day 10
give full description of what took
place on ITO them) that memorable
night. All The colored Republicans
IN the county, it seemed, were pres
emit, and our Democratic friends do
not care TO know more oft than they
didn'teee-eveni If they were not in
town and saw nothing. We think
that the Reps. made a pretty fair
shown numbers. They had quite
a lot of torches and transparsnces
and two or three wagons In the pro-
cession. The log cabin with its two
live coons on aud about half a dozen
two-legged ones inside was the best
feature of the business. 4
"Warren's' band might have made
some good music, but if it did we
failed to hear It, as there was such a
din of cries for Harrison, hurrahs for
the Qualification and Lee Ellis i'm
provised cannon kept up such a rack
ct that nothing could be heard that
sounded like music. The number In
the procession has been estimated at
from five 10 six hundred, about four
ffths of whom were whites. The
speakers from distance failed to
show up and Col. AL Clark, Ohio
Anderson, James Breathitt, John
Feland, CY Brown and two or three
colored brothers "chipped In" with q
few remarks and said enough TO give
the crowd cue to yell, and that was
about all that was done. No doubt
the colored people thought that
Christian county had elected Harri'
son. The "thing" is over with. Il
was a small affair TO what was ex'
pected by most people.

THE TRIAL
OF The Young Men Charged With
Blowing a Newspaper Man Out
Of Town.

Several of the youth of the town,
are supposed TO have been in the
crowd that, on the 10th inst, uncere-
moniously escorted a young man by
the name of John Gentry out to the
city limits because he had come down
to use "his influence, as was sup
posed, against the railroad PROPOSE
tons. Mr.. Gentry was not very well
acquainted in the city, and City At
torney Ferguson had to get cousin
of Gentry's, by the name Of Hayden
Ferguson, to furnish names, so the
Offenders could be summoned TO APP
pear for trial. We understand that
Hayden Ferguson furnished the in
formation very reluctantly. and he
could not avoid it.
The trial will commence in the
City Court this morning at 10 80.
The young gentlemen who are to APP
pear are Claude Clark, VIM. Rags
6ale, Ed Trice, Charles Anderson,
James Ridford, Joe Steinhagen, Har-
ry Tandy, Archie Boales, Walter
Blythe, Jake Meyer, James Ware and
Charles Meyer. They will be repre-
sented by the best legal talent in the
city probably lawyer to each of them.
1t will be, should City Attorney Fcrg-
uson not make a motion for striking
the case from docket, "the event of
the season" Somehow "the boys"
do not feel at all uneasy, and
probably each one who lhas been
summoned TO appear will be prompt
ly on hand ARdrchg, Mr.. Clark.

CREATED A LITTLE BREEZE
Of Opposition in the Democratic
Ranks Of owensb:ro.

The announcement in last Friday,
issue that Maj. S. X. Crumbaugh, OIL
this city, would be an applicant fol
appointment by the new administra.
tion for the o gensboro Collectorship
created quite breeze in the columns
Of Owensboro's two daily papers,
which was nothing more than natur-
al result. OF course the papers of that
city would rather see one of the
Greensboro Republicans get the plum,
than another Hopkinsville man
Whilst both the papers dwell at
length on Major Crumbaugh's en-
dorsemeut by many counties in the
State for Secretary of The Navy they
both candidly admit that he
made most efficient Collector, that
his subordinates were also efficient,
sober and good men in every way,
What more could be required ? If a
man who will run the Office on that
plan ia the one the incoming admin
istration wants 1t cannot find better
man than Maj. Crumbaugb, but W e
do not think the two Democratic pa
pers of Greensboro, nor the Demo-
cratic South kentuckian will be con-
suited in the matter. Maj Crum-
baugh will prosecute his claims on
his merits alone. Honorable ambi-
ton is commendable, and we do not,
thiuk it will bar Maj. Crumbaugh
from receiving the appointment lie
seeks. We reiterate that lie is a gem
tlemsn in every sense of the term,
and as such is held in the highest es-
timation by all of our people. His
dignity certainly will not detract
from the ligh esteem in which he is
held by those who know him.
Tho following extract from the
Messenger is a pretty good recon-
mendation from a Democratic paper,
and may have some weight with
those who will have the dishing out
of public offices in a short time:
ellis administration was excellent,
among the best The Office ever had.
Any man of common intelligence,
who will keep sober and behave him
self (Which has not always been
done), can make good record as
Collector ofInternal Revenue. Crum-
baugh kept sober. lie is a man of
exemplary personal habits. His sub
ordinate officers were men of proper
habits, too. He tolerated no drunk
enness among them. lie had them
as well disciplined as a class ofschool
boys"
We hope our Greensboro friends
were not actuated by malice or a
desire TO ipjure good man aud Of
iicer because they prefer some one
of their own city should receive the
appointment, All Maj Crumbaugh
asks is "a fair tote" He is moi
afraid. This is not the South Ken
tuckian's pie and this is The last we
shall have to do with it, but we do
want to see that Maj. Crumbaugh
gets justice from both sides of the
political fence.

his mules. The work was done by

Ideal Housekeeping.

In the house of the ideal hOusekeep-
er everything is in order all the time.
No dust is visible anywhere, no finger
marks are to be seen, the windows
are always clear as crystal, nothing
is out of place, savory meals are
served at stated hours, and all the
table appointments are simply per-
feet; washing, ironing, scrubbing,
and mending are regularly and
promptly done. The ideal house
keeper, in addition to keeping her
house in immaculate order from Sun
day to Sunday and from May to May,
in addition to spring cleaning and
spring sewing. to fall cleaning and
fall sewing, to putting up fruit, tend
ing plants and rearing children, finds
time for reading, painting, music, the
study of the languages, and for soci-
ETY., without neglecting the nurture of
her own family.
This is a beautiful picture, is it
not? and many a woman in trying to
realize it in her own case has laid
herself in premature grave, or made
life burden release from which was
gladly welcomed. 1.-The life is more
than meat and the body than raj
ment." The house mother is more
than the house, and she owes it to
helself and to her household so to adj
just her work that care of herself and
her household may be appropriately
divided and applied. 1t is possible
to pay too much for even gold, and it
is possible to pay too high price for
immaculate housekeeping. The more
we simplify our mode of living the
easier does it become to live. There
are those who prefer cobwebs in their
houses to cobwebs in their minds,
who prefer to polish their faculties
rather than their silver, who choose
embroidery for their intellects rather
than for their garments, who enjoy
elegant style in diction rather than in
equipage. Those who have made
their choice deliberately must not al
low themselves to regret the absence
of what they have not chosen.
