SILVER CREEK, Neb,, May lS,-[Spccial to
The Bee. The crops in this section arc
mostly in aud are looking very fine. The dry
weather preceding the .rains last week hurt
some Of the flax that had been put in too
early, but the rains OF last week brought
most of it up, and the prospects are good for
large yield. The oats are all looking good
and farmers are predicting an average crop.
Corn is about all in, and although the recent
cool weather held IL back somewhat, particu-
larly that which was not up, the chances are
that IL will come out all right There has
been great deal of flax sown this year,
probably five thousand acres in this locality,
and surrounding towns reports correspond
ingly large acreage. Last year nearly every
one raised corn. This year they are all raising
flax Those who held on and kept their corn
and oats are now getting richly paid for
doing SO. The two elevators here are paying
- 10 % cents for corn and - TO % cents for
oats. There seems 10 be quite good deal of
corn In the farmers hands yet, but oats are
scarce. Tho grain men look for drop in
prices next week. The farmers are all busy
now getting in their crops and have no time
to haul in what grain they may have, but
when they get their crops in they will COM
mence to bring in the balance of their corn,
and there seems to be quite lot yet, so con-
sequently prices will depreciate some, but
they think the depreciation will only be

RuiIding Active at Wahoo.

WAnoo, Neb., May lS.-[Special to The
BEE. l-Wahoos opera house is no longer a
matter of speculation but an assured fact A
stock company has been formed with cap
ital stock of Ss,5, 900, and board of directors
elected, aud il is proposed to begin the cree
tion of a three-story and basement brick
building at once. The building will be 4lxll0
feet, and will have two store rooms on the
first floor and two sets of offices on the second
floor. The opera house will occupy the second
and third floors, and will be equipped with
all the modern appliances and will be first
class building throughout. The building will
be erected on the south side of Fifth street
between Linden avenue and Broadway.
At the last meeting OF the city council an
ordinance was passed submitting TO the
voters of the city the question of voting SlO-
600 for the erection of Il new city hall. The
election will be held on the 10Th Of June. All
of the business men are heartily in favor of
the bonds and there is practically but one
sentiment on the question, and that is in
favor of the bonds, so it is an assured fact
that the city hall will he built this season.
Among the other improvements that are
now under way is fine passenger depot to
be erected by the Union Pacific railroad at
the foot of Fifth street. The outside of the
building is now finished except painting, and
the entire building will ne completed ready
for occupancy before the 18th of June When
completed II will be rs fine a depot Us can be
found in any town of this size in the state.

SpriunfieId Saloons.

SrRISGrrELp, Neb., May ls.-[Special to
THE BEE. The saloons of this place have
enced some trouble in getting the requisite
thirty signers to their petitions, only being
successful in getting sixteen bonlficd resident
freeholders to sign. Two of that number
were the names of lady and her daughter
whose names were signed by II. w. Snyder
of Omaha without their consent, who upon
being appraised of the fact, ordered their
names stricken off, which was done. To
make up the balance j. u. Pope, one of the
applicants, decided small lot on the out
skirts of the village to fourteen individuals.
The board are three for license and two
against, but the people are confident that
even the license men on the board will refuse
to grant license under the existing crcum-
stances. The board meets Monday night the
10Th inst, TO consider the petitions.

SKULLS TRIMMED WITH LACE.
The Uuburied Dead i'm the Cataconbs
of Palermo, Sicily.


One of the strange sights of Palermo,
in Sicily, is the long series of vaults
called the Catacombs," in which the
bodies of men and women are preserved
for generations by a curious process,
and are visited by their mourning rela-
tives
The grinning skeletons of generals
or governors who died fifty years ago are
here seen, clad every few years in fresh
uniforms, and their features are
sometimes preserved for Il century. .
Undoubtedly the ugliest of the sight
is the ladies' gallery, Corpse-worship
hero has prompted freaks of dualesque
millinery, such as the trimming of the
vacant skulls with deep frills of lace.
One poor shade is in purple silk. A
young lady's mummy is adorned with IL
silver crown, fantastic shoes; open-work
stockings and white kid gloves! A
princess among the most recent of tho
interments-lies in her coffin, which
bears many artificial garlands and yards
of much-nottoed funeral ribbon. On
All Souls Day the dead in the cata-
combs may be said to hold IL gruesome
sort of reception: but the richer class,
whose dear departed stand there,
frequent the cemetery at all seasons.
Imagine coming TO pay your devoirs
to the ladies with whom you used To
dance: to your hostess of former years,
to the members OF your family, TO the
wife of your bosom: and being received
by these phantoms of grizzly bone.
These bedizened skeletons! These rag
and bone things, aping humanity! 1T is
too horrible.
Yet there are Palermitans who find
melancholy pleasure, some certain
consolation, II few a. terrible fascination,
in the relics of their dead preserved in
this cemetery. But not all the inhabi-
tants approve Of this mode of sepulture.
On certain fete days these ''cata-
combs" are open to all comers. A
drunken man once strayed in here and
fell asleep. AT night the porter locked
up without noticing the sleeper. AwaIi
ing sober: with the early light, the
horror Of his surroundings seized upon
the man. He ran about wildly among
the dead. He shricked, but no one,
even those in the convent, could
hear him. The earliest passer-by found
him clinging TO the bars of tho en-
trance gate. They could hardly loose
his hold. He was stark mad.

Hamilton County Alliance.

AURORA, Neb, May ls--lSpccial TO TUE
BEE. In the fall of 1885 the first alliance
was organized in this county by L, G.. Floyd,
who was appointed organizer for this county.
The farmers readily perceived the advantages
to be derived from such an organization, and
the number Of members grew with amazing
rapidity. Up 10 juno, 1889, Mr.. Floyd had
organized eighteen alliances in the county.
He then appointed w. II. Fail and James A.
Wilson, both farmers, men of high standing
and prominence. as deputy organizers. There
are now some thirty-hve subordinate ALI nccs
throughout the county, with an aggregate
membership Of about twelve hundred. Four
business associations have been Incorporated
and are engaged in buying and shipping grain
mt Aurora, Phillips Bromiield and Hampton.
An increase Of from cents TO cents per
bushel for grain has been realized by the
farmers at points where the alliance is opcr-
atng.
In June 1880 the sub-allianccs met at Au-
rora and organized county alliance, com.
posed Of delegates from the sub-alliances, the
representation being one delegate for every
ten members. The present officers OF the
county alliance are Valentine Horn, prcSl-
dent and NJ. r. Severy, secretary. Mr..
Horn is also vice president of the state alli-
anCe.
While the alliance took no action in the po-
litical campaign last fall, as a party, 1T was
recognized as n potent factor in shaping the
result, the defeat of the republican nominees
for treasurer and sheriff, and the election of
democrats to those positions in county
which usually gives from 400 TO 200
republican majority. Politicians of both
parties realize the Importance OF the alliance
movement and are desrous of taking such
action as will secure the support of the mem
berS of the organization.

said NJ. Cochery, describing the scene,
"a short, rather dry looking man, ner-
vous, pale and sickly. He was accom-
looking woman, who confirmed all he

tion with the utmost clearness, just us |

speak to me:

where you will, but arrest me. | have

" What! If you have done nothing?'

ceedcd thus:

The commissary had the unfortunate
man taken to an insane asylum.
NJ Zola, being asked by reporter
what he thought of this singular story,
answered:
1T is difficult for me to believe that
the reading of my novel could have de-
cided this individual to kill but this
reading, far from disturbing his brain,

In Gage County,

BEATRICE, Neb, May lS,-[Special to The
BEE. The farmers of this section are keep
ing their weather eye open ON the anti
monopoly conference 10 be held at Lincoln
May 20. While not especially sympathizing
with the movement they recognize it of
sufficient Importance to demand some cousid-
Grafton. 1t is possible that some members of
the Gage county alliance will be sent TO the
Lincoln conference to get the gist of sentl-
ment that may prevail there in the interest
of the farmers, and the plan proposed for the
amelioration of their condition commercially
and financially. The matter of the right
kind of men for legislative honors is
receiving much consideration in the alliance
meetings, and the farmers propose to have
their wishes deferred to in this matter this
fall or know the reason why. Thesentiments
expressed by MIR. Charles s. Dorsey of
Beatrice in TnE BEE interview week or so
ago have about the right ring for the farmers
hereabouts, and his name is being frequently
mentioned as a pretty good man for state
senator from this district. MIR. Dorsey's

has given him q wide acquaintance among
