complished their destructive work invarious parts of the country, visitingportions of Kansas, Missouri, Illinois,Indiana, O hio and Virginia. The Iobsof property at Kansas City is estimat-ed between $250,000 and $300,000.Fifty buildings were blown down andtwo hundred more badly damaged,killing several persons and woundinga large number, some of them fatally.In the path of the storm through Mis-

souri, it was very severe, destroyingsome lives and a vast amount of prop-erty. The town of Oronogo wastotally destroyed and a number ofpersons killed. At Liberty, Mo., sev-

eral houses were destroyed and othersbadly damaged. Farm houses wereblown down, fences destroyed andtrees uprooted. Near Balckow, Mo.,several farm houses, barns, orchardsand other property in the vicinitywere destroyed and some personskilled.

Some singular freaks of the wind atKansas City are reported: It blewand literally tore the clothes from thebody of one man, stripping himalmost to his underclothing; a ladywas sitting at a piano in the secondstory of a house ; the wind lifted theupper part of the house and left herseated in the open air unhurt, and theinstrument undisturbed. Where thestorm crossed Wyandotte county, theloss is estimated at $40,000. NearWyandotte, at the Reed family home,Mies Reed and one child were killed.

At Galveston some ofthe stones penetrated the roofs, and astone bronght to town two hours afterthe storm weighed half a pound. Thedamage was considerable to early veg-

etables and fruit at Norfolk, Va., andvicinity. At the dopot of the S. & R.railroad the force of the hail was sogreat the galvanized iron on the loco-

Thos. Galloway is said to be theoldest professional railroad engineerin the United States, and probably inthe world. He commenced his calling Jan. 23, 1833, and has for fiftyyears continuously been in the em-

ployment of the Baltimore & Ohiocompany, never losing a day. Dur-ing that time be had a family oftwelve children, one of whom died aninfant. One son is a conductor on theBaltimore & Ohio, another is foremanof the machine shops at Garrett, Ind.,another is an actor, now with MaggieMitchell. He has a grand-so- n, abrakeman on the road. Father, sonand grand-Bo-n in one continuous lineon the same road is a notable incident,and the only one of the kind in theworld. He is now seventy-fou- r yearsold and expects to attend the railwayexposition at Chicago, at the specialrequest and favor of the Baltimore &Ohio Co. as a specimen of its superiority over all other roads in thecharacter of its men.

The sexton was the onlyperson in the building and miracu-lously escaped unhurt. Four otherchurches and on private residence inEvanston were considerably damaged.

Several articles of incorporationhave been filed in the office of thesecretary of the state of Nebraska,forming companies for the purpose ofconstructing railroads as follows: ThoPlattsmoutb & Southwestern RailroadCompany. This route commences atPlattsmouth, thence in a southwesterlydirection through Cass county viaAvoca, through Otoe county via Syra-cuse, through Johnson county viaSterling, thence touching Fairbury.Another company to build a roadfrom Ft. Scott, Kansas, to Lincoln,Nebraska, by way of Topeka, Kansas.This company is known by the nameof Ft. Scott, Topeka & Lincoln R. R.Co. Another to be known by thename of Lincoln & Topeka R. R. Co.This line of road is intended to runthrough Lancaster, Gage, Johnson andPawnee counties, in this state. Thebusiness place of the company will beat Pawnee City.

Later reports from the cyclonewhich passed through a part of Saun-ders county, Neb., show that it didnot tear up and crush things so badlyas at first reported, though bad enoughin its limited track. It appears thestorm cloud originated in Lancastercounty and over the line, its directionbeing slightly east of north so that itpassed east of Valparaiso about half amile. Its length was about eightmiles and its path from eight to tenrods wide. The damage done by thestorm is simply estimated at from$4,000 to $5,000 and the sufferers areMr. Coon, Mr. Pierson, Mr. Tbroop,Mr. Davidson, Mr. Latton, Mr. Rom-ing- er

and two school districts. Eightbuildings were demolished, includingtwo school houses. Mrs. Latton hadan arm aud leg broken and her infantwas seriously hurt on the head byflying Umber.

The new civil service rules havingbeen approved by the President, thecommissioners will iu a short timeleave Washington for tho purpose ofputting examining boards in opera-tion in all large cities. As the pro-

visions relative to appointments takeeffect July 16th, it is esseutial thatexaminations be had before that date.The work has been divided into dis-

tricts . Commissioner Eaton takes theprincipal eastern cities, such as NewYork, Philadelphia, and Boston;Commissioner Gregory is assigned toChicago, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Detroit,Toledo and other lake cities, andCommissioner Thomas to St. Louis,Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Kansas City,New Orleans and other cities in thesouth and southwest.

The new law in regard to the pay-

ment of taxes in this state should beunderstood by our citizens. Taxesnow become delinquent four monthsearlier than under the old system, andwill be placed in the collector's handsas soon as delinquent, adding penaltyand interest nine months sooner thanunder the old law. The taxes for1883 will become delinquent the 1stday of January 1884, and will be dueand payable on the 1st of October '83.The change may operate a little hardthe present year on our citizens whohave recently paid their taxes for '82

but the taxes for '83 paid and thelaw may work all right.

Tie Commissioner of the land officehas recently received complaints fromNebraska through the post-offic- e de-

partment that cattle herders in Ne-

braska have inclosed with fence, forgrazing purposes, a large tract ofpublic land, and cut off an importantmail route. It is said the case is beinginvestigated. It iB thought at the in-

terior department measures had oughtto be taken that will break this un-

lawful practice of fencing publiclands, a practice which has latelygrown to be a serious matter.

diers were killed and eight seriouslywounded. Col. Torris says theApaches fought savagely. They werearmed with repeating rifles.

Less than five months of the year1883 have passed and thus far in thenew year its records of accidents,commission of terrible crimes, de-

struction of property and life on seaand land by fire, water and wind,exceeds anything in the same time inthe past ages of the world. It is notout of place for everybody to know"That God moves in a mysterious war,

His wonders to perform;He plants His footsteps in the sea,

And rides upon the storm."

May 11th, 1883. (Eoitou Jouknal: Our village baa

made more substantial progress inpermanent improvements the last fourmonth? than at any time during itsexistence. Rock foundations and nicebuildings is now the order of the day,aud the building boom bids fair tocontinue all summer.

Corn, we judge, is two-thir- ds plant-ed, and if we could have a few nicewarm days the growing qualities ofcorn planted would soon be satisfac-torily settled. But very little wheatsown, farmers mostly are dependingon oats and corn for all crop purpo-ses. Gardens are very backward ; somuch cold windy weather has madeeverything very late, even for Ne-braska. But then we will probablyget our spring and summer weatherlater in the season.

Cherry bloom is just beginning toopen ; wild plums are in full bloom,also pears aud crabs; apples just be-ginning to open, but how much orlittle the cold weather will have forculinary purposes we can tell betterbye and bye. One thing I am thank-ful for my large orchard is in farbetter couditiou than I expected afterthe 6cvere storm of last summer. Butall of us who had no crops last seasonare working hard, Providence per-mitting, to secure our fair share thiscoming fall.

Flour is higher here than in Chica-go ; blessed be the millers, they oughtto feel happy.

Sugar beets raised here last seasonanalyzed four degrees higher in sugarand less acid than in France or Ger--mauy, according to the analysis of thedepartment at Washington ; and if wecould only have a sugar factory con-ducted on right principles what aboon it would be for this part of Ne-braska !

Check rowers are largely used oncorn-plante- rs this spring, and somegreen drivers who have made crookedrows may find it difficult to plowboth ways bye and bye.

After a thorough test we like thohoney locust so well as a hedge plantwe arc putting out one-ha- lf mile morethis spring, and will also plant one- -half acre to forest. No more box-eld- er

will be planted by me, and allpraise in its behalf as a tree to be rec-ommended for forest planting weconsider erroneous; so, so, we arespeaking of our upland prairies.

Why Not ?
