Unique Novelty for the Nur.rr.

An excellent invention fer the use of
mothers and nurses has been brought
out in London in the shape of a bath
with hammock hung in it, on which
the baby can comfortably rest while it
is being washed. 1t is really a CAPITAL
invention, as the child can lie at it's
ease while it ia being washed, while for
tinid children who object to being mt
into water it will prove invaluable, as
the hammock viii allow them to be
thoroughly sponged without being i'm
mersed.

Daniel Hively is remembered as hav,
ing been about as hard a specimen as
the saving power of grace ever over
came in the Ozark country. He was a
man of great strength and of wicked
temper The way in which he became
a resident of the Ozark country illus
trated his inclination to be law unto
himself. 1t is told that in his young
manhood Hiveley was engaged in boat
ing salt down the Ohio river and up the
Cum berland to Nashville. The man for
whom he was working got behind with
the pay. Daniel thought he was going
to break. He went back for another
load of salt, bat instead of delivering it
kept on down the Ohio and the Missis-
s;ppi until he reached the White, which
he assembled to the Ozark country. He
never went back but turned his me-
chanical genius to account in building
mills. A powerful revival Of religion
oyercame Daniel Hiveley and he gro
fessed.'' Some time afterward the
preacher who helped convert Daniel
was out in the woods when he heard a
great noise. He listened and discoy-
cred that Brother HiveIey was having
trouble with COW that wouldn't drive.
The preacher hid behind bush. Hive
Icy came along and Jumped upon a log
TO look for the cow but could not see
her.
- you to -" he shouted. Then.
after few moments of silence. he
added:
There, old devil, you have got one
more oath out of me. Take it and go to
-!"-St. Louis Globe-Demecrat.

Spanish cortes, which assemblies in one
month, the law will be promulgated
throughout Cuba and the long expected

ment Of homo rule is secured by the es-
| tabIishmaut OF two local bodies drawn
largely, if not entirely, from the resi-
dents Of Cuba. one Of these is to be
known as the provincial chamber Of

under General Fort in this province

having lost 81 killed and having 115

That La crete is Frequently intoxicated

that they are living in sWamps. with
out clothing, compelled TO eat bad food,
that the agreements entered into with
them have not been carried out, and
that they are without leaders to lead
them 10 victory.

TIE FLOOD WAS laRs1siST&BLI
Torrent of Water Which Swept Its
Path Clean.

Omaha, April 2o.-A special to the Bee
from Moortield, Neb, says:
Details Of flood which occurred il
this section Of the state on Sunday night
show that it did great damage. The scene
Of the greatest damage is On the -. x
NJ, four miles west OF F'arnum. The dam
age to the railroad property far exceeded
any idea entertained before the full eX-
tent Of the effects Of the storm We're re
allied.
Where the greatest damage occurred
the track follows 4 deep cut, starting
at the end of Plum creek canyon. The
torrent of water came through the cam
yon with frishtful velocity When it
reached the point where the canyon in
tersects with the railroad track, the cur
rent was diverted through the cut. The
railroad track, ties ana roadbed Wer1
swept down the stream like 50 much
driftwood.
At the west end Of the cut the topos-
raphy of the country changes abruptly,
and instead of a deep cut there is
fill 75 feet high and 300 feet long. The
embankment was washed completely
away. The steel rails were bent ana
twisted by the violence of the flood as if
they were so much lead, ana big drainage
tiles weighing 1000 pounds We're torn out
Of the ground in which they wore orig
inally buried IS feet deep and washed
down the canyon for a distance Of 400
Yards

NEVADA CAN TAN TEE lands
Decision Nhic!, Affects Centr:sl Pa
ciiir Property.

Washington, April 20.-Jnstice Brown de
livered an opinion Of the supreme court
today in the case of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company versus the state OF
Nevada, involving the right Of the state
to tax the lands Of the railway company
The case came to the supreme court
from the Nevada supreme court on
writ Of error sued out by the railroad com
pany.
The state courts held that the state was
entitled to levy taxes upon patented
lands, ana also lands which had not been
patented, but which had been surveyed,
and on which the cost Of surveying had
not been presented. Justice Browns opin-
ion atfirms the decision.
"If" he said. the railroads had 4 pos
sessory claim to the lands, they are taxa
bic under the statute Of Nevada"
Remarl1ins upon the plea that the lana
could not be taxed where the government
reserved mineral LANDS from the grant,
he said:
If the state has no posscssory claim.
because the lands are mineral, it GER
tainly can not be injured by sale Of
lands to pay the tax"
He did not think it possible that the
railroad company's enormous lana grant
should remain Untaxed until the charac-
ter of the land as to minerals could b.
determined.
Justice Field dissented. on the ground
that the reservation Of mineral lands
from the grant made it possible TO
determine what lands could he properly
taxed against the railroad company.
The cases involving the Mormon church
property, which was confscated under
the Edmunds act. We're sent back TO the
supreme court Of Utah for final disposal,
in conformity with the joint resolutions
Of congress approved March rs last, re-
storing this property TO the church.
The decision Of the court below was re-
versed for this purpose.

srATE, DEMOCRACY OF IDAHO
Central Committee VIII riN the
Times of Conventions.

Boise. April 2l.-Chairman Hayes of the.
democratic state committee has called a
meeting of the committee in Boise next
Saturday for the purpose of fixing times
aud places for holding conventions. The
last state convention passed resolution
to the effect that the conventions should
be held one in Moscow and one in Lew

that tho committee will regard this as
binding. and an effort will be made to
hold at least one Of the conventions in
Boise, The subject of fusion with the
ropulists that is attracting so much at
tention Is likely 10 come up for consd

democrats are inclined to so Slow about

HIS TERMS ACCEPTED BY THE
COMMITTEE.
The Nncnate. nv SI,revd Nnnipula-
tiOn, Forced Concessions Fro"
the Comm ~Sioners.

Milwaukee,, April 20.-Whatevcr doubt
there may have pccn as TO the intcn'lol
of Rraytcn Ives to keep faith with The
reorganization commissioners OF the Nor
thern Pacific were dispelled today Wien
answer was flied to the suit Of the FArnl-
ers' Loan ana Trust Company N the fore
closure proceedings in the United States
court by Ives. admitting all OF lhe ale
cations OF the complaint. The answer
filed has the distinction of being the
brlefcst document that has been recorded
in the proceedings.
1t reads as follows: And now comes
the Northern Pacific Railroad Comp ny,
defendant herein by Sias ". Petit, its
solicitor, and for answer to the bill of
complaint herein states chat il IS advised
that all the allegations contained in the
bill of complaint OF the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company are true and there
fore il admits the san.a.'
The filing of the answer aud its nature,
however. does not portray a defeat CT
Ives but means q victory, the terms Of
which no one will tell 1t develops that
the commissioners were obliged to make
terms with Ives and that tn" nlasrlte
took every precaution to See that they
we're carried out. 10 this end two ans
wcrs were drawn. each of an entirely iil-
fercnt nature, and both we're ready FOR
filing in the court at q moments S notice
and neither TO be filed until permission
was given.
From the nature of the answer filed
this morning there is doubt that the
terms were complied with. The second
answer, il is understood, contained
ref(tation Of all Of the allegations which
are now admitted, supplemented with
some charges that might make racy r. I'd
Ing and exceedingly sensational. All Of
the parties that have come into court IRE
now on record as agreeing to tn" r"0F-
ganZation by accepting the decree of
foreclosure asked for. But it is learned
that the effort centered In Philadelphia
il the interests Of the stockholders mas
assumed such proportions as to make
further concessions and nlodera tions in
the plan. 1t IS asserted that unless the
notifications are made 4 suit will be
instituted to protect the preferred stock
holders trust bonds which are held by
the Farmers Loan and Trust Company.
