Sad Death.

One of the saddest deaths it has been
our pain to record in this city was that
Of Mrs. Albert O'Neil, which occurred on
Sunday morning at nine o'clock. The
deceased vas universally esteemed for
her rare qualities of heart, and her death
in the bloom of young womanhood, with
in a few weeks after motherhood, was a
profound and severe shock to this COM
munity. Funeral services were conduct
ed in st. Patrick's church, Tuesday
morning at ten O'Clock by Rev. Father
Hickey, the obsequies being very largely
attended. Interment in the parish GEM
etery. She leaves a husband, and infant
of very tender age and health. The be-
reaved husband and relatives are the OBJ
jects of the deepest sympathy of this
community, in the expression of which
THE TRIBUNE joins most sincerely.

We are glad TO see that farmer

We are glad to see that farmers are
paying some attention to raising alfalfa
out in the Republican valley. Ever
since this writer examined the growth Of
this plant in Colorado and Utah, he was
convinced that it would be a good thing
for Nebraska, especially in uplands, and
in the drier portions of the state. 1t is
hard to start, must have a wet spring to
get rooted, and perhaps that has dis
couraged a great many. The seed is
rather expensive, too, if you have to buy
it away from home, but start a little
patch first in some lower ground, OF
where you can water it, and you'll soon
have seed. Once rooted it laughs at dry
weather, produces abundantly, two or
more crops a year, is excellent fodder fol-
cattle, hogs and sheep. and helps out on
horses, too, but should be fed carefully
at first. 1t is simply a kind of big clover
that's all; and has the same effect that
old fashioned red clover used to have on
the cows when they broke the bar down
and got in the "paster" and ate toe
much. They were "hove" the Yankee
used to say; well it won't kill them, and
you must be careful at first, for it looks
so bright and green and smells so sweet
any heifer would be a fool not to cal
plenty till the novelty wore of. It.:
just like candy to children. Once fairly
started and ''wanted" to the soil it i:
almost i~ndestructib1e. This will be an
elegant spring to try a1falfa-so much
snow the ground is sure to be moist.-Ex

It is not generally known what a vast
plant it requires to publish and circulate
a metropolitan newspaper. The Chi
cago Inter Ocean has in its circulating
department alone, nearly one hundred
men and women, not to mention the
carriers, who deliver the papers to all
parts of the city before breakfast every
morning. 1t may be mentioned that no
kind of weather, however severe, is per
rnitted to interfere with this delivery in
any way. Of this large force, about one
half of them work through the day at
ordinary office or clerical work and the
other half begin late at night and work
until about daylight, preparing and adj
dressing the wrappers, routing and
mailing the bundles. Their work is of
the ost difficult nature and is done in
the quickest possible manner, and yet is
it so well done that it. seldom happens
that a single bundle or paper Of its i'm
rnense edition of nearly 100000 reaches
its destination on other til an TIL E

delayed by accident. The system is

has ever been garnered. While the rec

Brig. Gen. H. S. Hotchkiss and Col.
Harry Shaefer of the uniform rank K. OF
P. are figuring on railroad rates to the
Pythian encampment, which is to be
held in Washington in August. and are
expecting a very reasonable rate. Ten
coaches will probably be needed to ac-
commodate the Nebraska visitors. The
first proposition was received yesterday
by the knights. 1t comes from the B. &
M. and gives a round trip rate of $500
from Lincoln, with the understanding
that a sleeper and baggage car will be
used. Stops of one day at st. Louis,
seven at Washington, two at New York,
one at Rochester. at Niagara Falls,
two at Chicago, are included in h S
offer, making a total of fourteen days on
the trip. Lincoln knights expect a
large attendance from this city and other
places in the state. They believe that
the round trip rate from Chicago will be
less than the fare from Chicago to
Washington.-Lincoln Journal.

habit of trying to raise the wind by
lifting up his voice constantly and vocif-

Notice to County Treasurers.


In notifying county treasurers Of his

edness, State Treasurer BARLEY sent out

fully called to section I65 of the revenue

possession belonging to the state general
and institute for feeble minded funds on

have concluded to issue the above call
for all general and institute for feeble
minded fund money in your hands March

been the practice in the past, but as long
as the warrant indebtedness against the
state exists I feel it my duty to collect
all money due these funds as fast as
possible.
Requesting your hearty cooperation
in this matter, / am respectfully yours,
J. S. BARrLEy. State Treasurer.
