usefuI Invention of Railroad Man.

HOT SPRINGS, 8. D., Dec. 26.-(special.)
Joseph Evans Of Lead, s. D., has for
years been working on the problem Of per-
fecting a switch that can be thrown by the
engineer without leaving his engine, thus
giving him control of his train and lessen
ing the liability of his being the victim
of a careless s~witchman. The Elkhorn road
has given the device a thorough test and
the officials consider 1t an unqualified sue
cess, making it sure that they will take
hold of the invention. Railroad men have
been working on this proposition for years,
but Mr.. Evans is the first man to solve IT,.

Board Of Agriculture, filed the report Of the
proceedings Of the board in the governors
office today. The report is not quite COM
plete because it is necessary to make 1t be-
fore the end Of the year. To the present
date it shows that &3s, 2s2.ss has been re-
ceived from all sources, while 1874, SS6.0
has been expended for all purposes. The
report shows that the money received
from general admissions last year amounted
to 1881, while 1885 was received from

Finds Cattle All Right.
State Veterinarian Thomas who has Just
returned from SCOTS Bluf county, reports
that after a critical examination into the
conditions prevailing in the western end of
the state he finds the cattle industry in ex-
cellcnt condition. This tends to relieve
the alarm that has been created by the re-
ports sent out to the press concerning the
condition Of the ranges in Wyoming and
Colorado. The snow Injuries the grass for
forage purposes to a certain extent, but
the Nebraska ranchmen are awakening 20
the need for the exercise OF more fore
sight and less dependence on providence to
safeguard their herds and keep them
through the winter. He saw much stacked
hay that had been put up in preparation
for the winter. He did not see any herds
that appeared to be suffering from the
stress Of the weather and heard no stories
Of distress among the ranchmen on the
Nebraska side Of the line.

No man is better known in the state of
Nebraska than Mr.. Carl T. Roberts, con-

as follows:
"Our boy, James, had the membran-
Gus Group, and after he had recovered

Our boy, Charlie, was also subject

Our third boy, John, was subject to

Negro Controversy Departs From the
Original Subject.

In an article of two columns length
appearing in a colored publication to-
day, Nicholas Chiles and ]. H. Childers
answer, with personal charges, the re-
marks which Rev. George d. Olden,
pastor of the First African Baptist
church. uttered regarding those persons
Sunday evening in his pulpit. Nearly
the entire editorial is devoted to the
most sensational accusations against
the moral character of Rev. Mr.. Olden.
In closing it says: 1T has never been
claimed by the editor or business man
ager of this paper that we were leaders
of the people of Kansas, but we seek
honestly to defend the race when ira
duced by an eccleSiaSti teal renegade and
hypocrite, or any enemy of the race.
The negroes of Kansas are honest and
hard working; they are building homes
and character. They are today paying
over twenty thousand dollars of taxes
in Shawnee county alone, and like the
ninety per cent of the whites who are
buying homes they rejoice in the priv
ilege of building and loan companies
that render it possible to acquire a
home by their meager earnings"
The controversy as to whether or not
the negro children will be obliged to
attend separate schools is rapidly de-
generating to a mud-slinging contest
anything but ereditable to the colored
race.
