We know of smaller pieces that are better but Mr. Lemmon's field is a good showing of te man's industry. There never was a season in which larger returns, in the way of crops, could be shown, considering the amcmnt of labor bestowed, than the present- This applies to all kind? of vegetable well as held crops. As fine potatoes aswe have e7er seen have been grown, tbM year on Bartonville is the name of the mew postoffice at Barton's store three or four miles east of town.

Cupid is at John Bagley's place in the north part of the county on the Indianola, Stockville and North Platte route. People in the states east of the Missouri river doubt their friends when they write them that Frontier county has increased during the year beginning June 1st, 1884 and ending June 1st, 1885, from less than 900 people to over 4,100 touls. This is settling a county with astonishing rapidity when the reader considers that there is only one town in the county and that practically, only a year old and neces sarily small. Furnas county, which corners with Frontier on the southeast, had over 6,000" people in 1880." " ana increased, during the 'five years up to is becoming intolerable and the verdict o: our people is that it must be stopped; The immigration to this country this fall and next spring will' be unprece dented. A party of 240 Mormon immigrants, ire&h from the alums of Europe, passed through Sunday morning by special train, en. route to salt Lake City. We are informed that a large two-story business house Is to be erected on Front street in the near future, to be occupied as a general store. Messrs. D. B. Morgan and C. A.

Then consider that she has fonr villages aggregating a population of about 1819, which would leave them a farm popula tion of 4,581 or only about 1,400 more than that of Frontier.

The Dawson County Building and Loan Association has been in operation since April 15th 1885, and has been the basis of ten buildings. Who says it is not Mr. I. A. Young, who lives south of the river, has harvested about four hundred tons of hay this season. Three hundred tons and over was for Nichols Beach & Co., for use on their stock ranches In Dawson and Lincoln counties. Albert T. Holmes, recently of North Platte, was a caller at this office, yester day. Mr. H. has been engaged to teach the Peckham school. He is a bright intelligent appearing gentleman and will doubtless prove himself to be an efficient teacher. The Anti-Monopoly county 'convention held at Plum Creek, last Saturday, nominated the following ticket: Treas urer, "W. J. Fleming; Clerk, Thos. J. Hewitt; Sheriff, Hugh MacLean; Judge, J. S. Stuck ey; Commissioner, J. D. Anderson; Superintendent schools, A. H.Schutt. , There will be a meeting of the qualified voters of this school district held at the school house on October 6th, 1885, at which time a vote will be taken on the proposition to bond the district for $1,200. The money is needed to aid in the erection of a new school house and supplying it with necessary aparatus. The amount asked for is so small that there will likely be but little opposition to the issuing of bonds. The selection of a site for the building will also be considered by the meeting. Rev. Mr. Folglestrom, of Kearney, spent several days of last week and the first of this, in town in the interest of the Swedish Baptist organization, and, we are inform edtj arranged for the erection of a church building here, work on the same to commence next week. The location selected for the byfting Is In the north part of town in the 'Bergstrom addition. Gothenburg is behind the times in the matter of church buildings and we are glad to note that it will not be so much longer. Messrs. Seeley & Co. have completed their labors on the elevator buildings, and the proprietors Messrs. E. G. West and Jonas Adling, took formal charge of the same Thursday. The building presents a fine appearance and it is not only an orna ment but a substantial addition to the business interest of the town. The first grain was put through Wednesday, the machinery throughout working like a charm, and five loads of wheat and one of barley were put through Thursday in a manner perfectly satisfactory to the pro prietors. Grain can be handled as rapidly and cheaply as at any other elevator in the State. The dumping aparatus is complete and it takes Jess time to unload a wagon and send the farmer on his way rejoicing than it does to tell It The ele vator is just what the community has needed for some time and will no doubt be appreciated The proprietors are live business men, and fanners having grain to sell should give the Gothenburg Ele vator Co. a show. Denver Junction From the (gazette. The practice of shooting on the streets Ogallals. From the News Any one coming to Ogallala wishing to engage in business, and expecting to buy business lots from f 150 to $200 will be disappointed, as lots in desirable locations on the business streets are finding ready sale at $400 to $1,400. Wednesday last William Nichols, o Omaha, bought three thousand head of stock cattle from H. Steven3. The cattle are to be delivered to Montana on the Powder River range Upwards of $13 per head was paid. Mr. Nichols left Thursday morning for Omaha. A double murder was committed twenty-eight miles north of Sidney on Thursday night last. The murder was committed tor money, but the party or parties who committed the deed received only $57.00. The victims were an old man and his son, homesteaders. They had in their employ a hired man who has been arrested on suspicion. His story is that a couple of men came into the house with their faces blackened and killed the old gentleman and then the 3on and claims he escaped. A sum of money has been found in his possession, which he cannot account for. He .is held for exam ination. F. P. Rider's house on his claim four miles southeast of town, was broken into the- fore-part., of. this,wjek and about ten dollars worth of bedding and other goods consisting of a bridle and other small arti cles stolen. This makes the third time that Mr. Rider's home has been burglarized by eneaks. The first time a saddle was taken and altogether $50 of property. The second, ten dollars worth of articles making altogether $70 worth of property, has been stolen. This kind of work has become kind of stale with Mr. Rider, who says the next that they take they had belter be careful about hiding it on an island in Le 'Platte River. Mr. Rider will spend a small fortune for the identifi cation of tthe guilty parties. STATE ITEMS.

A skating rink in under way at Hastings, the dimension of which are 150x88. It will be arranged so that in summer it can be turned into a swimming pool. The cost of the structure will be $12,000. Sergeant L. D. Brainard of the Greeley expedition has been in the vicinity of Fremont for some days visiting his brothers who are prosperous farmers in Saunders county. Capt. Hunt, residing near Wilber, says he has killed 300 rats this season, who have been destroying his corn by climbing the stalks and having a banquet among the leaves on the upper ears. The Omaha Herald's statistician is figuring on the population of Nebraska's congressional representation to her popu lation. The number of congressmen to which she is now entitled is five and with the same ratio of increase for the next five she will be entitled to eight on a basis of one for 170,000, though the present basis is 151,911. Messrs. Morgan & Johnson, of Omaha, have purchased the Exchange bank and are ready to do a first-class banking business. They have made a change in the name of the institution, and it will hereafter be known as the State bank of Sidney. These gentlemen are shrewd business men and are on solid footing which will make this bank one of the most reliable in the state. Sidney Cor. The Wyoming stage company have for a certain consideration turned over to the Northwestern stage company their mail and express contracts between Chadron and Deadwood and withdrawn their stages. The Wyoming company will con tinue to carry the mail between Sidney and Chadron. The horses that have been used on the Chadron and Deadwood route will be turned out until spring and then transferred to other lines belonging to the company. All of the stages will be rebuilt in the Sidney shops which will be kept in operation most of the winter and then moved to some point near Fort Mc Kinney. Mr. Thos. Irwin will remain in charge at Sidney. Sidney Telegraph. It is probable that Kearney will have electric light before snow talis Mr. R. There is a movement to nominate Col. ?red Grant as the Republican candidate or Secretary of State in New York. England's Indian forces have been advanced to a point which will afford a prompt occupation of Candahar whenever desired. St Paul and Minneapolis have been raised by the Post-Office Department to the first grade in the free-delivery service. Minneapolis mills, for the year just closed, produced 5,450,163 barrels of flour, an increase of 652,823 barrels over the preceding season. Frederick Ayer, of Lowell, tho pur chaser of the Washington Mill's property at Lawrence, Mass., announces that he will at onca begin to put the. mills in operation. The mills stopped a year ago since which time there has been much depression in local business, as they gave employment to 2,700 operatives.

A wonderfully lovely young woman travels in the chariot of a vender of medicines, which he declares, caused the perfection of her complexion ire sells a tonic, too, to which he attributes the abundance of hair, and drugs for the increase or reduction of flesh to her standard. There is great rejoicing at Medora, the home of Marquis de Mores, over his acquittal, and the cowboys gave him a grand reception upon his arrival there Sunday evening. Even the cowbys one of whose number he killed, admire the Marquis, and they came many miles to welcome him back to his home in the Bad Lands. As the train pulled into the station the platform was crowded with over 100 sombrero-crowned Westerners, who filled the air with shouts and bullets, swinging their revolvers above their heads and unloading as fast as they could pull trigger. For sprains, swellings or lameness Chamberlain's Pain Balm ha3 no equal. A. Pilcher, who put in the electric light plants at Hastings and North Platte, has been In the city during the last ten day:?, and has succeeded in securing a ten years' franchise from the city authorities and enough subscribers for the ll"ht to warrant putting in a plant in this city. Most any kind of light is preferable to the present darkness of the streets at night and the electric licrht is just what will fill a long-felt want. Kearney New Era. J. It. Cobb returned from Jefferson Monday; he informs us that last Saturday morning Jas. Cummings, of Cummings Park, north line of this county, started to descend his well 250 feet in depth, when abont ten feet from the bottom, as judged from the ropejet out the well caved in on him. The alarm was immediately' given and neighbors set to work to dig him out, expecting to reach the body some time Sunday; but at this writing we have not learned further particulars; he joined farms with a Mr. Abernethy, his brother-in-law, who our readers will remember, was killed by falling in his well, 240 feet in depth about a year ago. Later. We learn that the digging party succeeded in rescuing Mr. Cum mings at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon; after digging down some distance, he could hear them nailing the curbing, and finally could exchange words with the rescuing party. His escape is almost mira culous and he is to be congratulated. Custer Go. Republican. Our community was startled Wednesday evening by the report that Jas. R. Loudin had committed suicide at the house of his brother nugh Loudin, four miles west of town. The coroner and a corps of citizens went to tho disaster and found James in the barn of his brother in the throes of death. He had shot himself in the ear with a pistol, blowing a fearful hole in the side of his head, but he lived three or four hours after the shooting was done. A letter was found in his trunk, written by the deceased which told how to dispose of his property, and spoke of his it love, and that he did not want to live any longer. A young lady of Clay Center is the object of his affections. She is a sister of Mr. Hugh Loudin's wife, and was at his residence when the dreadful deed was done. The two had been in company within a short time of his death ; were seen in earnest conversation, but not quarreling. The writer is of the opinion that the young man waa very deeply in love withtheyoung lady, that the latter was well pleased with the intention of the young man, but gave him to. understand there was a bar to their marriasre, and this he could not brook. He was to all outward appearances in his right mind to the very last moment; gave his sister-in-law Mrs. Loudin a key to his trunk that contained his letters and said he was going awaj' probably never to return. She asked him when he was going; he replied between that and dark, and went out and chatted with carpenters at work on a building, then went to the barn where he was found a short time after by Mrs. Loudin in the agonies of death. The shot was not heard because of the noise of hammering on the building. The body will be buried today, a funeral beinjr reached in the Christain church. He t was a young gentleman universally esteemed and prospering. Clay Center Sun. The Business Situation. To date, what has the "improvement la business" amounted to, and is there .any thing real in it? There are a good many, skeptics, and they are asking questiow. It is to be presumed that nobody wOT contest the statement that the nnaociai. affairs of the country are in better condi tion than a year ago, when we were still suffering from the effects of the panic o'f May and there was a deep seated fear of. further important failure and breaches. of trust But many people reiuse to believe that there is any gain other tnaa that of getting the panic element out of the situation. Well, there has been con siderable and sustained increase ib te bank clearings ; an advance in some classes Of irotC goods, with - better C9Mho,. snaro rise in sunr on. Aeavwr.omew "xt-. .T distributors thaa have. leer. years : a rise In cotton fabrics, with' actions some weeks that for volume compare favorably with those of correal ponding weeks in the boom years; a phenomenal demand for wool at advancing prices; a somewhat better trade in copper, tin, and lead; a great reduction in the quantity of idle funds in the New York banks; a lift In the stock market; and a general return in confidence. To these facts add the increased activity of mills of various sorts; an abatement of the disposition to reduce wages; the small number of important failures; and, . best of all, the abundant crops. Only wheat has failed us. The other leading products have done well or more than well The recent fine weather has added immensly to the wealth of the country. A large crop of corn is now as good as a certainty. The cotton crop insures pros perity to the South and will give us a profitable foreign trade. He would be a . very exacting man who would ask for a better outlook so far as the elements entering directly into business are concerned. There are some clouds in the , horizon, chief of which are the silver question and the blacksmithing likely to bo done on it by Congress the coming winter. We shall probably have some depression in trade later in the fall due to the fear of Congress, but it ought to be easy to dispose of the matter in such a way as to cause no serious disturbance. Q An event of last week indicates that the revival is well sustained. The distribu tion of staple goods were large, and buyers are still numerous in the leading markets. Money has not shown the effects of revival except in the shrinkage in the hoards of idle funds In the reserve cities. The surplus reserve In New York associated banks has decreased about $13,600,000 since the 1st of June and the loans have increased more than $35,000,000, amounting now to upwards of $328,000,000, but a portion of the funds have gone to the account of deposits, which are nearly $27,000,000 larger than they were the 1st of June. While there is a probability of some advance in the rates for money during the fall, they will be depressed for many months yet. Prices of commodities are so low that a large stock can be carried on what would haye been considered a very small sum of money a few years ago. In the ordinary course of events we shall receive some gold from abroad this season, but tho imports do not promise to be heavy. Our banks have a larger supply of the metal, and the Bank of England has of late been drawn onto such an extent that the dis count rate will be raised at the first sign of a movement to this country. The situation in the stock market is not by any means an unusual one. Securities are in many cases selling at prices that seem absurdly high, if the condition of the properties is considered, but the bulls have control and they have so impressed themselves and others with the belief that something of great importance is soon coming to strenghthen the list that the bears make little headway in their attacks. There has been quite a decline from the top and confident buying has followed on the expectation that further improvement in trunk-line affairs and abundant crops will place the list on a higher level. In the face of the good corn weather we have these days it is imprudent to sell short, and yet purchases must bo baaed largely on the fact that the men of capiatl are enlisted on the bull side. i's ClCli Colic in Horses, Chamberlain's Cpolic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is a cer tain cure for colic in horses. Many horse men have used J: for years nd in hundreds of cases wWiout loosing one.

J When you can't sleep for' coughing, take a dose of Chamberlain's rvm t j "6J4 ltuiueuy. i You may not be aware of it, but it's a fact, that many of the medicines recoup mended for croup , contain either chloroform or opium, and cannot be given to children in tho large and. frequent doses required, in cases of croup with any degree of safety. They are dangerous and should be avoided at all times. There is one preparation, however that does not contain a single ingredient that would injure a child, and it is certain and positive cure for croup, and that is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It cured thousands of cases and can always be depended upon. Sold by Gry
