'"rhis talk Of repeating the Dockery laws
is all bosh," said a member of the appro.

1.-The republican members of the joint COM

passed last session as Mr.. Dockery himself.
and the reports Of the heads of departments
this fall have spoken emphatically of the
favorable working of the laws. There will

The Message Read.

At the conclusion of the reading of the
journal Mr.. Payne On. V, chairman of the
committee appointed to wait upon the Presi-
dent, reported that Mr.. Cleveland had sent
his respectful salutations to Congress and
would communicate in writing. Immediate
ly thereafter Mr. Pruden, the Presidents ex-
ecutive clerk, appeared with the message,
which the Speaker forthwith laid before the
House. AS the clerk commenced its reading
the House became quiet, and the members
listened, some intently, but all respectfully,
to the words of the chief executive.
AS the reading of the message progressed
interest n ii seemed to flag. During the
entire reading there was not a single man
Hesitation of approval or disapproval, but
at the conclusion of the reading, which oc-
cupied an hour and half, there was slight
scattering of applause.
Five thousand copies of the message were
oIdered printed, after which, at 80 p. m. on
molten of Mr.. Payne of New York. the
House adjourned until Friday.

An Insane Mother.

P1rrsBURG, Pa, Feb. 11.-Mrs.
Amelia Seibert, carrying her son,
William Albert, nine months old, and
dragging along her daughter, Marie
Elizabeth, five years old, plunged to
death in the Ohio river near her home
at Corapolis, about noon today. The
woman was the wife of William Seibcrt,
a contractor and coal dealer Of Corop-
lis. She was thirty-four years old
and had but the two children she took
with her to her watery grave. Mrs.
Seibcrt is supposed to have been in
sane. She was a mild-mannered,
motherly woman Of nervous tempera-
mcnt. She was devoted to her hus-
band and children.
Last Friday the home Of Mrs. Sci
bert brothcr-in-law was destroyed by
fire. She brooded over this and today
had her brothcr-in and his family
come to her house to live. Shortly
before noon today, Mrs. Seibert aban-
doned her work and started TOWARD the
river with her children before any OF
the inmates knew what was up. James
Moss was on the opposite side OF the
river bank and saw the woman hurry
along the stream to the open place,
where she plunged in. He saw the
little girl pull away from the water
and endeavor to escape, but in vain. A
search for the bodies was instituted
and the mother was found with her
baby in her arms, while with her LETT
hand she held the little girl. Suicide
while insane, was theuverdict of the
coroner S Jury.

THE CITY OF LINCOLN" SCRIPT.

a few months ago there appeared, all
at once, very many unsigned pieces of
paper money of the lower denomina-
tions, bearing the words, THE Treas
urer of the City of Lincoln Pay the
Bearer" etc. Some bills of the kind,
however, were signed, as a few unsus-
pecting people found out. Various
stories are told about these bills. but
the following version is given to me
by E. E. Brown, of the Columbia Nat
ional bank. who was Mayor of the City
at the time the bills were printed.
1t was a fad at the time, in all sorts
of business, to advertise by issuing bills
somewhat resembling notes, with the
name of a firm upon them. or by is
suing coins of various design. This is
how it came that during the year 1872,
while Mayor Brown was absent from
the city-in the east somewhere. / be-
lieve-the finance committee of the city
council was seized with the idea that it

get out some notes in the name of the
city? The councilmen of that year
were ]. r. Fairbank, L. A. Scoggin,
William Mclaughlin. d. A. Sherwood.
G. G. Owen. and ]. ]. Gosper, and the
City Treasurer was William A. Cole
man. Acting upon the idea, without
waiting to consult with the Mayor upon
his return, the finance committee had
them printed through the State Ma
tional bank. The bills themselves bear
the mark of the Continental Bank-note
company of New York. They are made
in the most approved style of that time.
and the paper is of the best. In fact.
they are as good as any real bank notes.
except for the blanks in date and name.
These had blanks for the names Of
mayor and clerk. The designs upon the

bills vary. All of those bills that /
have seen have the likeness of Abraham
Lincoln upon them. however.
Upon the return of the mayor he re-
fused to sanction the scheme, informing
the members of the council that. as a
matter of fact, it was contrary to the
constitution of the United States. The
members of the committee could do no
more than leave the bills where they
were, and in the vault of the old State
National Bank they remained until re-
Gently when the vault was torn down.
An interesting question, which I have
not yet tried to solve, Is whether the
members of the committee lost the one
or two hundred dollars that it cost to
print the bills, or whether the city of
Lincoln lost IL.
Three of these bills have found their
way into the display cases of the State
Historical Society, where others may
be placed at the pleasure of the holders.
Information relative to the amount of
these bills would be welcomed by the
writer.

A PROGRESSIVE REPUBLIC.
Rapid Growth of the Population and Powe
of Argentina.

Rapid Growth Of the Population and Power
of Argentina.
Some OF the figures Of. tho new census
Of the Argentine Republic that has been
taken this summer have been received.
It appears from them that the growth
Of tho country has been steady and rap
id during the past quarter Of q century,
and that next to Brazil it is now the
most populous, as it is the most pros
porous, Of all the countries Of South
America.
When the last Argentine census was
taken, 25 years ago, the population was
1887, 900, but within that time it has
risen to 4 ,750,000 according to the sta
tistics Of the new census. The increase
has been owe 5000, 900, and it is going
OH, III these years, at q rate surprising
that of any previous period in Argentine
history. This is a remarkable record,
without a parallel i'll the annals Of
South America. Tho population greatly
exceeds that Of Chile, with its 5000, 600
inhabitants, Or that Of Peru or Vene-
zuela or Bolivia or Colombia, while it
is three or four times greater than that
of tho lesser republics, Ecuador, Para
quay and Uruguay. 1t is one-third as
large as that of Brazil, the most impor-
tant Of all the countries Of the South
American continent. Since the year Of
the census preceding that Of this sum-
mer Argentine has taken its place next
to Brazil.-New York Sun.

MAY SAVE COUNTLESS LIVES
A Drag Anchor Madc OF Canvas to Hold a
Vessels Head to the Sea.

A Drug Anchor M.do OF Canvas to Hold a
Vessels Head to the Sea.
l.. M. FurLaan, q practical seaman,
has invented u drag or sea anchor which
combines both simplicity and efficiency
and will doubtless be adopted by seago-
ing vessels.
1t is large bag made Of strong can
feet in diameter. This drag is put over
the weather bow of the vessel, with sew
cral hundred feet of rope, and permit
ted to sinl. about IL or Is feet below tho
surface of the water. This is easily reg
ulated by q small buoy attached to the
drag with limo Of that length. The can
vas bag. sinks below the base of the
waves, consequently tho rollers, which
drive the vessel lecward, have no effect
upon the drag, which, filled with va
ter, keeps the ship head on to tho sea
constantly. The vessel cannot fall off,
and it is safe to say had the Colima had
this simple continuance the frightful
disaster might have been avcrted.
When it is desired to pull the drag
aboard the tripping lines" which run
through small rings OIL the iron franc
and around the bag arc pulled. This
draws tho canvas into a small compass,
turning the whole contrivance sidcwise
and causing it to be easily hauled
through the water up to the surface and
then to tho bow Of the vessel. When
not spread it is SO small that it may be
lowered over the side Of the ship in the
hardest blow, as it is simply taken up
by hand and thrown into the sea, when
it opens and begins to pull OH the bow
of tho steamer. San Francisco Call.
