River Wipes Out Farms.

OMAHA, NEB., March 1S.-The peculiar
manner in which the erratic Missouri river
eats up fortunes in a day and carries the work
Of lifetime away has been exemplihed again
near Omaha.
In 1868 Samuel ]. Belville, of Herman,
Neb., then Il years old. aud his father came
to Omaha. Soon after their arrival q real
estate agent tried in vain to induce the elder
Beville to invest in city property. The pros
poets were not then alluring, and the Belvilies,
who wanted farm, declared that the city was
no place in which to bring up children.
At this point in the discussion the boy,
Samuel, pulled out his silver watch and looked
at it with boyish pride. The real estate agent
saw it and said:
.'I'l tell you what I'll do, boz. Give me
that watch and I'll give you this block of land
in exchange. Just hold it, my boy, as an
investment.
But the boy said his watch cost S35, and he
wasn't going to trade it for few rods of Ne
buaska dirt.
The family moved to Burt county, and the
father took up a claim. Twenty years passed.
They had improved the claim until it was
valued at $50, 900. Theu one spring the tickle
Missouri all of a sudden switched over to the
west Just far enough to sweep away the Bel
vile homestead.
In the meantime the son had grown to man.
hood and also owned farm. This also has
Just been wiped out by the river the two
changes in which have left the family almost
peuniless.
The block of land which the boy refused TO
take in 1868 in exchange for his silver watch
is at Sixteenth and Farnam streets. 1t is now
worth 81 500, 900.

Armenian Comes by Mail.

LYNN, Mass, March 1S.-For the second
time in the history of the Lynn postoffice live
mail has been received. When Postmaster
W. F. Craig arrived at the office yesterday he
found young Armenian waiting his arrival.
The Armenian was tagged to the Lynn post
office. The young foreigner was turned over
to the Armenian headquarters in this city.
The previous live mail had bird cage in one

today's arrival was minus baggage.

EAsroN, Pa. March 17.-Stephens was sent
to the Eastern Penitentiary at Easton for
setting fire to Pardee Hall and committing
many depredations about the college after he
had been dismissed from the faculty because
of serious disagreement with President
Warfed and other instructors.
Stephens had an imaginary grievance
against DR.. War6eld and a professor whose
line of reasoning and teaching was not in ac-

He cut and destroyed rare and ancient vines
that for lifetime had entwined some Of the
older buildings on the campus, threw hymn
books into the we'll, smeared tar over the Bible
and finally set fire to Pardee Hail.

the farmers, too, are learning to
take the same care of their cot
