When, several weeks ago, Rev. r. NJ.

avoids the ordinary dinners and recep-
lions, putting in most of his time in
work and study. Evidently he thinks
that men and women waste a great
deal of valuable time, for not long since,
when complaining that Congress vas
doing so little, he made the point that
the men might be able to do more work
in Washington if all the women We're

Mr.. Hill declares to his friends that
he will make no effort this year to Sc
cure the presidential nomination. He
seems to think that this isn't his year.
1t is his intention, though, to take an
active part in the campaign, no matter
who is nominated; and he does not take
a gloomy view of Democratic prospects.

Saved by a Glove Button.

How much may depend upon a glove
fastening was illustrated at one of the
Monsoon, Maine, slate quarries in an
adventure which the person concerned
would not care to repeat. He was a
derrick-man, who stood on the
brink of one of the great
chasms from which the slate
rock is hoisted. His duty was to catch
hold of the big hook depending from
the end of the boom as it swung over
the bank and attach to it the crate to
be. sent back into the pit.
Standing upon the very edge he
reached out to catch the hook which
dangled neal him. 1t was winter and
he wore thick buckskin gloves. The
hook slipped from him as he leaned
out, but caught into the fastening of
the glove. The swing of the great
boom took him off his feet in an in
slant and carried him out into giddy
space with his life depending On the
gloves holding fast.
His whole weight was hung on that
button, and there was a clear 175 feet
of space between him and the floor of
rock below. The moments that passed
before the boom could be swung back
over the bank seemed like hours TO him,
but he got there at last safe and sound.

SupDCrted by Hawks.

a group of men at an uptown hota
the other night were talking about lazy
people, when n told an anacdote that
broke up the meeting. The reIatOr said
that a family Of his acquaintance living
in Southern Indiana subsist upon fish
entirely. \ stream runs through the
little farm upon which they reside, and
fish hawks are plentiful. The boys of
the household keep close watch for fish
hawk nests, and catch the birds before
they are able to fly. Then these chicks
are raised in a happy-go-lucky sort of
way until the older birds Of the flock
train them how to fish.
The hawks are then let loose and the
boys lay in the grass by the side Of the,
stream watching them. When a hawk
catches a fish, the prey is taken from.
the bird, which, however, is allowed
to eat all it wants when the days fish.
;nS is owe They have enOuS.i hawks
to keep fish on hand sufficient to supply
them with food, and to sell a few, by
which their scant clothing can be re-,
plenished. Not of the family ever
attempts work of any kind, and they!
are supported entirely by the hawks

Jail Birds Desperate Work.

George Kingen, who is incarcerated in
the county Jail at York. awaiting the ac-
ton of the district court on the charge of
highway robbery, attempted the life of
Jailer Jack Walsh. Walsh was taking
Kingen his breakfast, and had unlocked
the Jail door. Hardly had he done Sc
before he beheld Kingen in the very act
of striking him over the head with a heavy
iron rod. Quick as a flash Walsh slammed
the door shut just as the rod descended
with terrible force. The iron was bent
almost double from the force of the blow,
and had 1t struck Walsh he would have
been instantly killed.s When asked for an
explanation kingen replied that he would

thought he could do SO by getting rid of

CANTEEN ROW NOT OVER.
Government I o Make a Test Case of
the Fort Robinson Affair.

Several army officers, including Maj.
Crowder, judge advocate general; Maj.
ISlley, LieutS. Laid, Powell and Braddon
were at Chadron on business connected
with the recent closing of the post can
teen az Fort Robinson. They were in
consultation with Sheriff Bartlett all day.
The Government does not intend to ac-
sept the withdrawal of the complaint
made by Crawford parties regard
ing the alleged illicit liquor traffic
carried on at Fort Robinson as final, but
wishes to make a test case of the matter.
With this object in view the parties under
arrest were released from tond and a new
case will be filed, getting the same before
the federal court to settle the state and
governmental rights. The fact hat the
officers mentioned did not register by
titles, or even as attaches of the United
States army, together with the silence of
all parties concerned, seems to indicate
that the Crawford-Fort Robinson trouble
is not vet an end.

Not the Same.

A terse and clever Characterization
was that by which Beranger, the poet.
summed up Victor Hugo's relation to
the great republican spirit of France.
Hugo, although it is said that he was
not a republican at the very begin
ming of his career, became a. most en-
thusiastic and outspoken one. He rep
resented the pictorial, dramatic side
of popular feeling and became so pic
turesque a figure in French politics
that he could not have failed to serve
as a popular idol.

the simplest type, Notwithstanding his

ARBoR DAY PROCLAMATION,
The Governor Enjoins the Citizens
to Continue the Custom.


to Continue the Custom.
Governor Holcomb has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation for the usual OBJ
servance of Arbor Day in this state:
"By legislative enactment, April 22d
of each year is designated as a holiday to
be known as Arbor day. In conformity
with this wise provision L would earnestly
recommend to all citizens of the state that
Wednesday, April 90, 1896, be devoted to
the planting of trees, shrubs and vines on
the highways, public grounds and private
property, to the end that the landscape
may be rendered more attractive, the CHI
mate ameliorated and the cultivation Of
timber for the beneficial use, comfort and
convenience of the present and future
generations encouraged. No greater SER
vice to this state can be at this time per-
formed by d Nebraska citizen than by
devoting one day of every year to the
planting and cultivation of trees upon the
broad prairieS and fertile valley lands.
1.-The observance of a day especially de-
| voted TO the arbor culture which had its
birth in Nebraska has now grown to be
national i'll its character, and it is to be
hoped that the cOmmendable spirit which
prompted Nebraska to take the initiative
in this Salutary movement will ever con-
tinue 10 characterize the observance of the
day.
"By common consent, the cultivation OF
a sentiment favorable to the planting in
u state has been entrusted to the public
schools, and nobly have both teachers and
scholars performed this important duty.
In the early history of our country pio-
neers settled in the forest and cleared
away the timber in order to make room
for fields of grain. The work of devastat-
ing the forests has gone steadily on for
years, until there is now urgent need for
united efforts in all sections of the coun-
try for the planting OF trees. 1t is we'll
and fitting that this necessity for tree
preservation to take place of trec-destruc-
ton be instilled in the minds of the youth,
and to hat end 1 would urge the I'M
p%ortance Of a continuation OF the ap-
propriate exercises which have heretofore
characterized this observance of the day
in the public schools Of the state"
