A FEW Nebraska newspaper men

SALT LAKE CRY, May 25.
F. M. KIMMELL, Dear Sir and
Friend: After casting about sew
eral months for a location [ have
at last cast my lot here. I confess
I see no present prospect OF max
ing money or securing a law prac-
tice here, as every line of business,
and the profession Of law, is well
represented by men of merit and
bar Of numerical strength as we'll.
But I think there is a good future
in store for the territory and the
city. They + expanding more
money in public improvements
here than in any city I have seen
lately, and there are more good
and substantial improvements in
the shape Of business blocks built
and under Roadway than [ have
seen elsewhere. The Mormons,
too, will, I think, exert themselves
to the extent necessary to keep the
city in the front Of the great pro-
cession. They are very much
changed from the condition we
have been taught they were in.
Their young men + in various
kinds Of business enterprises and
they are wide awake to the meth
DDS pertaining to securing prefer
ment and the dollar, and if I am
not greatly mistaken they are look
ing much more to the material
prosperity Of their people than to
the advancement Of their religion.
They seem to be a good business
people; the finest stores in the
city, and I think some of the finest
I ever saw, are kept by the Nor
mons in this city. They are much
more conservative than I supposed,
however, and are ayerse to rapid
strides in the way of public i'm
provements. I have seen some
cities ard states where a more coli
sentative policy would have been
better than the n pursued. The
largest temperance gathering l
ever saw, and Rev. Wolley. the lee
turer, says the largest strictly
temperance meeting ever assem-
bledN the United States, was held
here Sunday night at the Mormon
tabernacle, between ten and eleven
thousand people being in attend
ance. 1t was a union temperance
meeting Of the Mormon and all
the other churches Of the city, the
ministers all occupying places with
the Mormon bishops and elders.
I have formed a partnership
with C. Fl. Martin, formerly of
Oxford. We have rented rooms
in the Commercial block, the finest
office building ip the city. We
have a very comfortable home six
blocks from the Office at a rent Of
500 per month; it is not a fine
house, but a comfortable little
brick Of five rooms, closets, city
water, etc., and on the street car
line; however, it is within walking
distance Of the Office, church or
schools. Mrs. Cochran and Alice
very much enjoy the change and
imagine they are much benefited
already. Their appetites are much
improved and Mrs. Cochran walks
nor here in one day than she did

After Another ConsulshIp.

Mr.. Lou Delaplain takes his failure
to secure the U. s. consulship to Havre
with philosophical resignation. The
appointment Of Mr.. Chancellor, Of
Maryland, of course was a disappoint-
ment to him, but his application was
for the Havre consulship or an
other. He left last night for Washing
ton to transfer his ambition TO
the position OF Consul at Bordeaux,
Marseilles or Lyons. 1t is said Con-
gresham Wilson, who has championed
Mr.. Delaplain's cause. was taken by
surprise when Mr.. Chancellor was
named for Havre, as he understood tho
nomination would not be sent in till
June.

ACCUSED OF POISONING,
A Man aud Woman Charged with Designs
ON his Wiie's Life.


ON his Wiie's Life.
Al Kellar was brought in from the
country yesterday by Constable Ander'
son and lodged in Jail on very serious
charge, preferred by physician before
Squire Ankle. Last evening his cousin,
Kate Hickman, Of East Wheeling, was
arrested and locked up on the same
charge,
For some time past DR., l. B. Clark,
Of Fulton, has been prescribing for Mrs,
Kelar, who has been i'll for short PEE
riod, and he suspected everything was
not all right, the medicine not having
the desired effect. Upon questioning
Mrs. Kollar he found that Miss HEX
man was bringing medicine out from
the city and administering it to her,
with the result after each dose OF max
ing her very sick and causing conyuI-
sons, To add to these suspicious cir
cumstanCes, Mrs. Kellar's mother and
sister, who went out to attend her dur
ing her illness, were driven from the
house. On the strength Of these cir
cumstances DR.. Clark made affidavit
before Squire Arkle that, al Kelar
and Kate Hickman did ieloniously nd
minister or attempt to administer poi
son or destructive drugs in medicine or
otherwise, with intent to kill or injure
one Linda Jane Kellar."
The hearing will take place on Thurs.
day afternoon, and interesting develop
ments are expected. The accused, how
ever, claim the medicine was all right,
and prescribed by a reputable physician
in this city. Kellar is considered a
character OF bad reputo by his neigh
bors on account OF never working, hay
ing done nothing since last fall, prior
to which he worked at anything he
could get to do. The family is in very
poor circumstances, residing. in brick
house on the creek bank four miles east
OF the city. In view OF the refusal Of
Mrs. Kellar to leave tho house to go to
the infrmary, where she would receive
better attention, Commissioner Baird
will provide for her immediate wants.

The Barometer Was Rising But the sheR-
~ Was Falling.
On board Of q man-of.war bou nd
home from Chino wns young mid
shipsman named Jones, says the Do
'troit Free Press. He was O favorite
with the tofflcers and had in him the
.talent for the making Of q fine officer.
The midshipmen on board stood
their watch forward, md every hour It
was their duty to come aft and write
up the weather columns Of the ships

barometer, THERMOMETERS, and to heave

The captain, in company with the Of
hcer OF the deck, was walking the
weather side'of the poop deck convers-
Ing when Miashipsmon ones came sft
70 write up the log.
The barometer, @ mercuriel one, WAS
hung in the captains cabin, and Jones,
after having read it, helped himself
literally to the captains sherry
on the cabin sideboard. In walking
the poop the captain happened to
glance down the cabin slkylight and
saw the midshipman's proceedings.
When Jones came on the poop to
heave the log the captain addressed
him as follows:
"How is the barometer, sir?"
Jones saluted and said: "Steadily
fising, cir; steadily rising"
The captain then asked: "And how
is the decanter, sir?"
Jones was taken aback, but with q
steady voice replied: "Steadily fall
ing siri stendily falling"
This reply was too Inuch for'the cap
tain, and, bursting out laughing, he
