Hook your corn, fanners, at once,don't put it off a day, snow has fallentime after time, many cribs are wetthrough. If covered now, they willdry out but if left for the spring rainsto soak, thousands of bushels of cornwill be ruined, and coin is going to becorn, mind you now, this year yet.
Senate committees as organized onthe republican basis put SenatorSaunders at the head of territories,while Senator Van Wyck is on thecommittee of mines and mining andimprovement of the Mississippi river.The new arrangement is of course un-satisfactory to the democrats and it issaid they will resist all attempts toput in new officers. By their actionmatters may be delayed somewhat,but the inevitable outcome will be re-

IIalfku's Weekly had a picture ofCol. Sessions of Lincoln, .list weekThey called it Judge Hunt of I.ouisi-ann- a.
Among the cabinet nktnreslhntof Robt. Lincoln excites a good deal ofcuriosity. It is so entirely unlike thelooks of his father. One would thinkthere would be some slight resem-blance, but if this picture is correctthere is not the slightest trace of1 ikon ess.
The Inter Ocean man tries to tellwhat Xebraskans visited the presidentlast week, to fix up Nebraska appoint-ments, and gets it thus: SenatorsSaunders and Van Wyck, Gen. McBride,Gov. Raton, Gen. Bierbower, J. II.Peake, Datus Brooks, and W. P. Mc-Failau-

Apportionment.The confused nature of all the tele-
grams received lure from Washingtonduring the last few days to the inaug-uration left a doubt in the minds ofmany as to whether or not the "3 IS)"
apportionment bill, which passed thehouse,after wards passed the senate. Itwas in response to many inquiriesfrom different parts of the state thatThe Republican yesterday telegraphedSenator VanWyck in regard to thematter, and ascertained, as was pul-lis'i- ed
yesterday morning, that the 1 illeid not reach the senate, and is t'nere-- fore dead. Republican.
The Czar's Funeral.The Czar's funeral procession wa sdi-vid- ed
into fifteen sections; seventy-fiv- e
orders and decorations andnine imperial crowns were carried be-
fore the funeral car. The route of theprocession passed along the Englishquay, over the Nicholas bridge,through the Island of Vassili, overanother bridge aoross the Neva, andthence to Petropoulorski fortress.
Immediately behind the car walkedthe emperor.then ca.i.e the granddukes, ministers and foreign princeson horseback, grenadiers and carriageswith the empress and grand duchess.
Another Blockade.A nother snow blockade has cut esiT
travel and traffic between this city am,the east and south. All the roadsleading east, and both the Wabash andKansas City & St. Joe roads south areblockaded by snow. Xo trains arriv-ed Sunday from Chicago or St. Louisover any of the roads, and none weresent out. The Union Pacific trainsgoing west stalled on regular time,and the L'. P. passenger and mail trainarrived at 4:30 Sunday afternoon. TheU. P. trains are still compelled to usethe B. & M. as an outlet.
The snow storm of Saturday andSunday is confined to the country eastof the Missouri. The indications arethat the blockade will bo raised today-an- d
trains will resume regular timeon all.the eastern and southern roads.

The Great Anti-Trcatin- g Law.
Re it enacted by the Legislature oftho state of Nebraska:
Section 1. All persons are prohib-ited from treating or giving away anyliquor, beer, wine, or any intoxicatingbeverage whatever, purchased and tobe drank in any saloon, or other pub-lic place where such liquors or bever-ages are kept for sale.

cepting or offering to accept any treator gift of any intoxicating drink what-ever, in any saloon or public placewhere such liquors are kept for sale,shall be deemed guilty of a misde-meanor, and shall upon convictionthereof be subject to a fine of ten dol-
lars, or imprisonment in the commonjail of the county for ten days, orboth, at the discretion of tho court;and in addition thereto shall pay intosaid court the sum of fifteen dollars,to be paid to the attorney prosecutingthe case, if there be one: and if no at-
torney prosecutes, then to be paid intuthe school fund of the county in addi-
tion to the fine.
Another Sulfide In Cass Comity.Lauren Maslin committed suicide
near Greenwood this county, last Sat-urday morning (the 19th).
It seems he left home Friday sayinghe w:is going to Ashland, instead there-of he went to South Rend, where dur-ing the day he Uuight a pint of winein a saloon and two oz. of Arsenic atSi. Gr enslate's drug store, also a Re-volver of Hay Bros. Returning homehe got up in the night sometime amitook the poison. About 2 A. i Satur-day a noise was heard in his room amiwhen the family assembled he wasdying.
He leaves a wife and one child. liewanted to remove to Kansas, and hiswife did not like to go so far away.This and financial troubles is supposedto have caused the deed. Sheriff liv-ers held an inquest developing theabove facts.
Some of our western and northernexchanges don't like the last legisla-ture. We subjoin a few specimens asa sample of their views:
The Nebraska Legislature has hon-orably won the title of Nebraskawindbags and JunctionHerald.
The Hebron Sentinel says: "TheBeatrice Courier is still clubbing theNiii.ce men for playing traitor to Pad-dock in the late Senatorial election,'and then inserts a quite lengthy edi-torial as coming from us. We respect-fully deny the allegation and canwhip the allegator- - witli oar bull-do- g.
The West Point Republican calls it"l he either asinine or corrupt legisla-ture",an- d
says "The Nebraska Legis-latures of late years can boast of hav-ing produced more rinses, or rascals(veaintsure which) on the averagethan that of any other state in tiieUnion." Now use them tenderly, Mr.Republican! They are your ownparly pets, but we want this thingdone fair.
Our legislature has failed to domany things which the people wantedit to do ami it has done the veryi hing which the people did not wantit to tin, to wit: It has increased thelevy for state tax purposes not lessthan five mills. In one word it hasincreased taxation, when there wasnot the slightest need for it. This israthet a strange proceeding, to say theleast, and one lor which the membersof the legislature should be made toanswer. .Many of them, not less thana quarter or the whole number, weiefanners, and they ought to know thattimes are not so very flush with theirneighbors ; why then have they con-sented to do all this? were they notiiosses.se.ssed with ordinary commonsense to enable them to understandthe purport of a bill? The farmers ofNebraska must quit making fools ofthemselves: they should send theirbest men to the legislative regardlessof any and all political prejudices, andkeep in view only and solely the fol-lowing very wise political questionbefore them: To rote for r man whovill not mil out rind who is ktioini tobe qualified for the position."
We have often said, and we repeatit, the agricultural classes have fetchedonto themselves, for party sake, allof the woes which they have to con-tend with," because of their voting onthe blind, under the dictate of unscru-pulous leaders who are the tools ofcliques or corporations. Men who ares devoid of all pride as to vote forthe satisfaction of somebody else andto their own detriment are as good asdisfranchised. We beg the fanners ofNebraska to change their tactics u.this respect and change them at once,ere it is not everlastingly too late.
Their foolishness will cost them,besides the millions it has alreadycost them, not less than ten millsmore on the dollar for the next tenyears, besides the ten mills they haveto pay for the balance of the peoplein this state or twenty mills on thedollar. tate Democrat.

Weeping Water Notes.March 22, 1881.
Ed. IIekald: We have no certaindefinite news of our newspaper man oflate: he must be of the kind "slow butsure." In dt fiance of storm and inclement weather the building boomhas already commenced. O. Burgessand D. T. Drudley's new buildings arerapidly assuming proportions. Townproperty, especially good building lotshave advanced about 20 or 23 percent,in value. Fleming and Race and C.Thorngate are actively engaged pre-paring to build.
The -- White hat" man has goneSouth. Tho I. O. G. T. Lodge of W.W. has over SO members now, in goodstanding. "Free Trade or Protection"was the subject for debate, at the lastmeeting of the Weeping Water L. &D. Club, the subject was ably dis-cussed by both sides, but was de-
clared in favor of "Protection." That'sright, defend our home interests amigive protection to the workers athome. B. F. Barrett, has a new apprentice, Willie Lineback, to learn theharnessmaking.

LAI LSI SNOW STOK3IS.
Trains Stopped. &e.
I'liK AfiO, March 20. 2 . m. Af-fairs in the streets have gone from badto worse on account of tho stoini, butat present the snow, which has been falling rapidly since 3 :30 a. m. yesterday,is beginning to come less lieavily andwill probably stop falling entirelysoon. The result of to-da- storm isfrom six to eight inches of
compact snow, which is so solidthat pedestrians can walk on top of itwithout perceptibly reducing itsheight. The thermometer has beenvery near, I ut a trifle above the freez-ih- g
point all day, and is now slowlyrising. Morning trains arrived veryclosely on time, but to-nig- ht there areserious delays on all lines. All freighttrains are abandoned. The North-western road sent out only one trainto Milwaukee, and no others, exceptsuburbans. The C, B. & Q. ttains areblocked. The Alton train arrived onehour late. The Illinois Central trainsare slow bnt running with some regu-larity. The Michigan Central is farbehind and sent out only one train to-night. The Michigan Southern trainswere delayed by a bad wreck fiftymiles from this city, and incomingtrains were six hours late. The Pitts-burgh & Ft. Wayne road justified itsreputation by sending all its trainsout on time. Roads notmentioned in the above report haveeither abandoned all trains or onlysuburbans. Wires are prostrated innearly every direction, and it is impos-sible to learn the fate of the trainswhich have gone out, and many may-be blockaded only a few miles fromthe city. There has been almost acomplete stoppage in travel and traffic,and not a street car is running in thecity. The snow is piled up betweencar tracks and sidewalks so high andfirmly that it is impossible to crowd itback from the tracks. It is a problemof vital interest to citizens how longthe presunt state of affairs is to last.Nothing but heavy rain or very warmweather will afford speedy relief fromthe embargo, and there would be aflood if either of those came about.
They have established a te!ej raphstation at Oreapolis Junction at last.
About dark Saturday evening, asort of a collision occurred betweenB. & M. Engines No. 28 and 4, inthe yards of t he company in this city.The engines were backing up in op-posite directions, on separate switchtracks which converged' at a point op-pos- it
the depot. Through the caie-lessne- ss
of the engineers they rubbedup against each other rather too fa-miliarly, resulting in a crash, whichbroke the drive bar of one. and darn-age- d
the other slightly. They wereboth run down to the Plattsruauthshops for repairs - Bee.

Dear Herald: After a long si-lence, I again jot a few items. Itwould be no news to wi i'e that wehave had a hard winter. The lossesin cattle will range as high as 50 orCO per cent. My own loss so far isabout 20 per cent.; the end is not yet;we will all learn to provide more feedand shelter in future, although manyof mine died of apoplexy caused byto much snow and cold wat r instomach. Weather getting somemilder; cattle now got plenty grass,green grass shows in canyons, a little.Every promise of good crops this sea-son. A few settlers have returned totheir claims, and report others com-ing. Have been so busy hauling hayand -- grain, -- hava lwad . little time towrite, will try to do better now.

The W. C. T. IT. will meet at theresidence of Mrs. Prof. Wise ThursdayMarch 31st. at 3 o'clock.
To Point a Moral.We call the attention of our boys
particularly to the following factsconcerning the personal habits of twomen prominent before the Americanpublic at the present time, on accountof their immense wealth and enormousstock speculations; Wru. II Vander-bi- lt
and Jay Gould.If these men cannot afford to waste
their capital the capital of a clearbrain, steady nerves, and vigoroushealth, and consider lhat only by totalabstinence can these be preserved infull activity, is there not a lesson foryou in their example in this respect,if you wish to succeed in whatever isto be your life work?
"William II. Vanderbilt's personalhabits are such as do boner to Ameri-can manhood. It is said that the hab-it of smoking was strong upon him inhis younger days, and his breaking itwas an illustration of his boundlessdeference to his father's feelings andwishes. One day in 1833, as the fami-ly were on their way to St. Peters-burg, on board the strata yacht North-ern Star, the father and son werewalking on the deck, the latter puffingan after dinner cigar.
"I wish you would break up thatsmoking habit of yours. 1'il give you
10,000 if you will do it," said theCommodore abruptly.
"You need not give me any money;your wish is sufficient," answered theson, throwing the cigar overboard.He has never smoked since.
His command over himself is some-thing remarkable. He used to be areal whist player, like his father, and
when he .:ad removed to New York
or four evenings a week at theI'nion 'lub. But he noticed thattobacco smoke ani midnight hours
i interfered with the clearness of hishead the next morning, and he gaveup both whist and club. The samothing happened with wine. He likesa glass of champagne, but having dis-covered that it affected his head thenext day, he never touches wine orspirits of .my kind now, even at publicbanquets or dinner parties at his ownhouse, Every day in the year he is inbed by 11 P. m . and at work by 8 A. M
And now in his sixtieth year, hiscomplexion is fresh with the glow ofhealth and strength, and his eyes havethe luster that comes from regularhabits, and abstinence from drinkingand smoking.
Jay Gould is a regular "blue ribbonboy" "never swears nor uses stronglanguage of any kind, nor does hedrink, smoke, or play cards.'
Selections.Drinking produces poverty, domestic
misery, insolvency, bankruptcy, de-
struction of property, loss of reason,disease, and premature death.
They call it strong-drin- k whenspeaking of it, and never was anythingmore rightly named. For as surely asit gets hold of one, it pulls him down-ward into depths of degradation, asnothing else has power to do.
DitfXKKSSEss is a besetting sin,and leads to idleness, quarrelling,swear.ng, lighting, stealing, adultery,murder, and almost every other sin,and finally to f.teen'al miskuy.
ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
Charley Holmes is just more thanfixing up that "Ross Hotel" of his'n,on Sixth and Vine sts. He's put apizarro on one side, a portorieo on theother and there is to be a lemonadeall round it. Whether it is to be fin-
ished olT with a cupola, a moitgage, orat mechanic's lien on top we tlo notknow. Any one of 'em would set thething otf in good style.
A portion of the democrats wantto run a straight ticket and wouldprobably nominate Capt. O'rtourke.Many citizens would like to make agood business ticket irrespective ofparty, in fact we understand ther is
movement on foot looking towardsthat kind of a tieket. We have heardof no Republican candidates as yet.
Another snow storm in Illinoisand Iowa last Friday and Saturday;two feet of snow at Burlington; not aII ike h-r- e, nor any mails either fortwo days. The weather so cold it onlythawed a little in the middle of theday. This year is the worst tit of"winter lingering in th lap "" spring"we have ever known.

A Chapter of Accidents.Last Saturday morning about 2 a.
m. as the early freight train was pull-ing into the yard, it would seem thatThos. L. Barnhard the engineer slip-
ped from his engine somehow, andwas run over and instantly kilLd byhis own train. An engine stood onthe switch with" headlight burningbrightly as Barnhard's train cameround the curve; both he and the fire-
man seem to have thought at first thatthis engine was on the main track,and both stepped to the side of thengine to look out. The fireman heaidno word, nor did he know Barnhardhad left the engine till the thud of thecars passing over his body called at-
tention to the fact of something wrong.The supposition can only be, that hestepped down or was leaning out downlow to see s where the witch enginereally was when he somehow slippedor lost his hold and was thrown underthe wheels.
His body was at once removed totown, an inquest held which threwno further light on the subject, and noone will ever know just how poorTom Barnhard lost his life. He had awife and child at Lincoln where thebody was taken next day, and thefuneral held. The final intermenthowever being in Indiana, among hisfolks, we understand. lie was one 'ofthe most reliable engineers on theroad ami stands high with t lie company and all his comrades.A STOCKMAN FALLS OKI" THE BUIDOE
