"A Dcfaulting County Treasurer
Probably Killed by Farmers.
O'Neill, Neb., Jan. 3.-The default
ing treasurer Of Holt county, Barrett
Scott, is supposed to have been hanged
by a mob last night. He was cap
trred about midnight in a lonely part
of the county, north of this city. lie
was returning with his wife, baby,
hired man. named John Schmidt and
a Miss McWharter, from a trip to
relatives about thirteen miles from
O'Neill, when six masked men sprang
from the roadside where they had
been concealed, and, covering the car
riage with Winchesters, ordered Scott
to surrender. Scott seized the reins
and attempted to drive over the men.
The masked men then fired into the
carriage, killing the horses and Shoot
ing Scott in the neck and wounding
Miss McWharter, though not seriously.
The first party then was joined by a
larger force, which had been placed
across the road further on to inter
cept the carriage had it escaped the
first volley. T. l
SOFT and Schmidt were taken from
the vehicle, blindfolded and thrown
into a wagon and the ladies were tod
to go on. To-day Schmidt returned.
He had been taken to sod house in
the northwest part of the county,
with Scott. Schmidt was released,
with the injunction to get out of the
country. 1t is believed that Scott has
been hanged, as the farmers of the
county are terribly incensed over his
work. -.~5 .

KILLED LIKE SHEEP
rurther Details Of the ArmeniaD
Massncres.

Boston, Jan. "a letter just received
In this city from point Lear the seat
OF the recent oEtruges in Eastern
Turkey places the number of slnugh-
tered Armenians at fully 10000. 1t
Is written by a man in whom the
highest confidence is placed, and por,
lions are too horrible to repeat. The
writer, in part, says:
The Armenians, oppressed by
Kurds and Turks, said, we cannot
pay taxes to both Kurds ard govern
ment.' Plundered and oppressed by
the Kurds, they resisted them; there
We're some killed. Then false reports
were sent Constantinople that the Az
mentions were in arms In rebellion.
Orders were sent to the mushir, at
Erzengan, to exterminate them. The
order read before the army collected
In haste from all the chief tribes of
Eastern Turkey were: Whoever
spares men, women or children, Is
disloyal.' The region was surrounded
by soldiers, and 10000 Kurds also are
said to have been massed there. Then
they advanced upon the center, driv-
ing in the people like flock Of sheep,
and continued thus to advance for
days.
mo quarter was given; no mercy
shown. Men, women and children
were shot down or butchered like
sheep. Probably when they were set
upon in this way some tried to save
their lives and resisted in se1f-defense.
The majority were slain. The most
probable estimate Is $4,000 killed.
Thirty-fve villages plundered and
burned. Women were outraked and
men butchered. A high priest was
taken to the roof of his church and
hacked to pieces and the edifice set
on fire. A large number Of women
and girls collected in a church, were
kept for days, the sport of soldiers and
then murdered. 1t is said the number
was so large that the blood flowed out
Of the church door. The soldiers con-
tended over beautiful Airl. They
wanted to preserve her, but she, too,
was killed. AS a confirmation of the
report, the other day several hundred
soldiers were returning from the seat
of war and one was heard to say that
he, alone, with his own hand, had
killed thirty pregnant vomen."

Argue as they will there can be but
one result from silver basis in the
United States. which should be made
clear TO all who are dependent for their
living upon their labor. 1t is that
wages would not be preceptlbly in
creased. and that the purchasing pow
er OF those wages would be diminished
almost half. Rents have been stea1i-
~ advancing here and they would be
put up in any country which depreci-
ates its money. Whenever the United
States goes upon a silver basis. the
earning power of her laborers, artisans.
and clerks will be cut almost in two,
while the clothes they wear. the hous-
es they live in, the food they eat, will
be increased almost double. .
The above paragraph is from let
ter from the City of Mexico that was
written in the back office of the New
York Sun. 1t is an argument adj
dressed to the producing classes of
this country, under the supposition
that they rank in intellectual capacity
somewhere between the earthworm
and the tumble bug. OF course, the
advocates of the gold standard are
aware of the Inconsistency of arguing
one moment that the Free Coinage of
Silver will increase the price of COM
modities out of all proportion to wages,
and that the earning capacity of the
laborer will be diminished by one
half, and in the next declaring that
demonstration of silver had nothing
whatever to do with the enormous fall
in prices since seventy-three. Mr..
Robert Moore of St. Louis ably con-
tends that prices were not affected by
the crime of '73. The paragraph we
have just quoted takes the opposite
view. There is evidently great need
for the advocates of the gold standard
to get together and adopt consistent
line of argument. Even in the same
address they cannot be consistent.
Professor Laughlin, in his reply to
"Coin," at their debate in Chicago last
week, solemnly urged that the free
coinage of silver would be a disaster
to the debtor classes of the country,
and wound up by saying the railroads
who owed six billions were behind the
scheme, because if free coinage was
adopted they could pay this debt with
three billions of money. The produc-
ing classes. of course, are such fools
that they don't know they will have TO
discharge this vast obligation, and
that three billion of dollars, as meas
ured by gold, were added to this in
debtedness by the act of 1873. But
the humblest intellect will discover
the inconsistencies of this line of ar
gument, if persisted in, and it will dis
credit our friends of the gold standard.

No one in the west doubts Mr.. BANDS
honesty and sincerity. few attempt to
belittle his long fight. for justice and
none successfully controrert his argu-
ments
Mr.. Bland being honest and sincere
is therefore frank and aggressive.
When he said in Denver that the Dem
ocratic party must throw President
Cleveland overload or go to destruc-
ton he spoke the idea of the West and
South. It is true the Democrats out
side of the influences of Wall street
will next campaign demand we'll
earned recognition. They remember
well enough that not since 1873 have
We had President who was friend of
silver. They know that in Mr.. Cleve-
land they have a President who has
not kept faith with his party and one
who uses his high position and the in
fiuence of patronage attached to 1t to
favor the gold bugs, and they believe
with Mr. Bland that if the Democratic
party does not put up a free silver
man and come out squarely for free
silver, it vii. disappear as Il political
factor. -!Springfeld Leader.

From Goodwater.

Ed. Rcgister-This section of coun-
try, as well as many others, suffered
much from the unseasonably dry
weather that has prevailed during
nearly all of the last two months.
Throughout April no rain of conse
quence fell here, excepting on the 10th.
Though May was ushered in by the
for once-welcome sounds of distant
thunder but little rain fell hereabouts
at that time. On the 9th and on the
18th inst, good rains fell here ami did
much to revive growing crops and veg
citation of all kinds. Frequently since
then all indications of bounteous rain
fall were apparent but in each case on
ly comparatively light showers fell in
this locality. Now the sky is again
overcast with dense clouds and we
trust that within twenty-four hours We
shall be blessed with copious rains.
Wheat .'headed out" unusually ear
ly this year, presumably on account of
the frequent occurrence of unusually
warm weather during the past fort
night. 1t is feared that the yield of
the wheat-crop will be discouragingly
light.
Reports have reached US from the
country adjacent to Belgrade to the
effect that there, too, the wheat-crop
will be very light this year. Wheat
in the above-named section has in past
years proved a satisfactorily remun-
erative crop. Meadows and oats have
also suffered much from the effects of
the drouth.
Last year the writer sowed about
two acres in Sorghum. 1t yielded
large quantity of nutritious food that
was so evidently relished by all the
kinds of stock to which it was fed that
on the same farm six acres have been
sown this season: it is now cup nicely
and promises we'll. think the chief
enemy of it is the now ubinuitous
chinch-bug. Sorghum is without doubt
one of the surest crops we have in times
Of drouth.-
