Omaha Stockman: Reports of hog chol-
era or swine plague of some kind are be-
coming more common every day forcing
the conviction that the hogs are dying
throughout the state in large numbers. A
dispatch from Stromburg states an cpl
denic which is causing much loss and
which is alarming hog raisers has appear
ed among the swine southeast of there. So
far only the hogs in limited territory
have been affected, but within the last few
days the disease has begun to spread and
it is feared it will become general.
George Larson, a prominent farmer and
stock raiser, has lost 40 head of hogs. Ed
Marker, one of Larsons neighbors, lost
100 head. People who are familiar with
cholera say the present epidemic is not
the disease. They do not know what it is
however, and the hogs are dying by the
hundreds, no effort being made to save
them.
AMERICAN BEEF.
The appetite of the English people for
roast beef and other things. says the Mon
treal Gazette, makes the wheels go around
in many PARKWAY countries causes giant
ships to plow the ocean, and provides
scenes which are interesting to behold in
many quarters of the world. Very few
people are aware that Montreal is far
ahead of more important seaports in
handling a special class of very valuable
cargo, that of beef. The system inaug-
urated in this city last September is GER
tainly the best on the continent, and any
body going on the Dominion line wharf
when ship is being loaded would be soon
convinced of the fact if he could see the
prompt and economical way car loads of
dressed beef are stored in the refrigerators
of the ships. The moment refrigerator
cars loaded with this commodity leave
Chicago for Montreal the freight agent
Of the Canadian Pacific railroad is noti-
fled of the fact and he makes his arrange
ments for loading the steamer accordingly
The beef when sent out from Chicago is
cleanly wrapped in cotton sheeting. each
quarter weighing about 210 pounds. In
twenty minutes after a car of meat is
alongside the steamer the meat is out of
the way of the atmosphere and the dust
The apparatus for loading consist of an
overhead trolley, an idea borrowed from
the packing houses of Chicago. The most
arduous part of the loading is performed
in the refrigerator, where the men carry
the quarters on their back, being obliged
at certain times to hold them in a very
painful position for a certain time. The
top of the refrigerator is a, mass of pipes
| filled with ammonia solution, ,and those
are crusted with frost. The work is not
entrusted to regular stevedores, but to
specially trained men provided by the
great beef shipping houses, and it is very
amusing to hear them directing the men
in a. gruf and sonorous tone of voice how
to handle the beef. When the refrigerator
is properly filed, with only a passage
to allow a free circulation of air, the doors
are tightly battened in, and the beef is
ready to start on its dark voyage to merry
England where it will be enjoyed by all
good lovers of roast beef.

Fifty-six cars Of feeders were sent to

This weeks cattle receipts were the

A Miraculous Cross in the Sky


A miraculous cross upon the heavens
was seen by Hungus, King Of Picts.
It was at a time when Achaius, King
of the Scots, and fungus were routed
by Athelstan, King of northumberland
They had been defeated at every turn,
and in their disordered flight had come
to East Lothian. The first night in
the country last mentioned was one Of
terrible forebodings to the fugitive
kings, and during his troubled sleep
Hungus dreamed Che claimed it to be
a yision) that he saw the cross of Saint
Andrew the ~ held out upon the sky,
and that it waved back and forth "aS a
signal for him to press on to victory"
Early the next day the fugitives be-
gan to retrace their steps, and during
the day, so tradition says, Hungus and
all his army saw a verification of the
previous nights vision or dream in the
shape of a titanic Saint Andrews cross
clearly pictured on the heavens. All
of King Hungus' soldiers, being now
satisfied that the sign" was token of
victory, were only 700 anxious to meet
the Northumberland invaders, from
whom they had ben flying in such wild
disorder the day before, and if history
is to be believed, they did meet Athels-
tan, whom they killed after they had
utterly annihilated his army.

A Philadelphia writer contends that
everything in nature goes in threes,
and that after discovering the lumi-
nant and the actinic power of light
science should have known that there
ia another attribute, which has been
found, and is called the Y ray. "If
the third ray" says this thcorist, 'has
information to give us of the sun, moon
and stars as vital and important as
that conveyed by the luminant ray
through the spectroscope, we are in
deed on the eve of an inconceivably
vast extension of the field of human
knowledge" This view of the matter
may be pronounced interesting, but
uncertain.

in order to save Italian unity. He di-
rected the suppression of the revolt
with firmness that bordered on cruel
ty. The revolution was crushed and
Italian unity escaped the peril of dis
memberment which had threatened it
for an instant. But for many years the
remembrance of this bloody and merci-
less suppression weighed heavily on
Signor Rudini's reputation. AS poll
tician the Marquis di Rudini took
leading rank among the rightiSts as
soon as he was sent to parliament. His
conduct during the revolution Of 1866
had classed him among the fearless and
resolute men. And so, after Montana,
when Emmanuel desired to begin a
reactionary policy, Rudini was selected
to act as minister of the interior. lie
was expected to show his strong quail
ties against the militant democracy,
which was incensed at the king. The
new minister showed himself equal to
the expectation and was almost spite
full in his zeal against the republicans.
But at the end of two months he was
compelled to retire and again took his
place among the right. He was not
heard of again until he assumed the
reins of government on the retirement
Of Signor Crispi in 1891. He remained
in power two years, but his ministry
was disastrous financially. Since that
time Rudini has not been a leader in
the councils of Italy.

In 1893, according to the report of
the Commissioner of Education, which
has been brought down to that year,
the number of school houses in the
United States was go. 426, valued at
$685., 435, 039, with an annual revenue
Of $165, 100000, teachers numbering
$50, 010 and an aggregate of 15,0S3, $50
pupils. The illiteracy in the United
States has been reduced to 1873 per
cent, this including sos per cent
among negroes, ana 13.1 per cent.
among white immigrants. But little
over half of the negro population is
now illiterate. While education in this
country is extending at a rapid rate,
there is still much to be done before
reaching the standard of Germany,

by additional windows in the galleries,
which light the room without throw

are located SO as to provide an easy

cluded from these private corridors
while the Legislatur is in session by
means of light bronze panelled screens

gates. The Supreme Court is located
in the east end of the capitol, and,
while convenient of access, it is suffi-
emily secluded from the other parts
Of the building to prevent undue in

believe to be wholly original as to this
design, the judges chambers, the Ii
brary and the Supreme Court Clerk
are placed so as to give convenient ac-

passing into the public corridors, and
also giving the public convenient en-

One of the best ways for the higher
courts to lessen the lynching tendency
is to refuse to set aside verdictS against
criminals for any reason that does
not touch the question Of guilt or in
nocence. The people prefer to have
justice administered by the duly APP
pointed agencies, but when those agen-
cieS allow justice to be defeated on
technical and frivolous grounds, other
means of enforcing the laws have to
be invoked.
