It is carefully estimated that over 1,000 mechanics are busily engaged in the up building of Hastings this summer. The actual figures show that they have put up nearly $350,000 worth of fine buildings during the spring and summer. "Who thinks that the Queen City is not growing and growing rapidly!

The B. & M. road is to be built into every town along the iine of the F. E. & 31. V. road that is such of the claims of the several towns. As there is no irri tory that would pay even interest ipon such an investment of capital, much less operating expenses, unless the road should be built as to compete for -the freighting of Fort Niobrara and Rosebud or for the trade of the Black Hills coun try, it is safe to say that one or two of the prospective railroad centers will exist in imagination only. Custer county has yet to experience a disastrous drouth. It is true that a good deal of complaint has been heard from different localities during'the past month on account of a want of rain, but it has happened this season, just as it always happened before, that whenever the crops had reached a point where they must have moisture or suffer, the rain came and the farmer laughs to-day at his fears of yesterday. Harvest is now over and a fair small grain crop has been secured and the abundant rjiins of the past week open out a prospect for corn that is very gratifying. Broken Bow Statesman. Percy O. Kirk, left Curtis last Tuesday morning in company with a friend to work on the railroad at the front. He boarded the morning freight with such personal effects as would be needed whil6 thus employed. The train stopped at the 6econd siding, some twenty-four miles west of this place. During the stop he left the train. A stop only of a few minutes was made. Kirk attempted to board the train again, but failed and miss ing his footing, fell beneath' the wheels. His left leg, from the knee down, was mangled badlv. Two or three of the fingers on the right hand were crushed. Curtis Courier. A heavj' rain and wind storm passed over "Wallace, Neb ., one of the new towns on the line about forty miles west of here last Friday afternoon between four and five o'clock. The storm came with such a force as to cause heavy damages to many in that immediate vicinity. H. L. "Williams' store building was moved off the foundation, the roof at the school house was blown off. Howard Bros, lumber compan damage to lumber $75. A board was hurled against their office with such force as to break through, pro truding as much as four feet into the room. The corn was damaged somewhat by the hail. Curtis Courier. Hoffman, the Missouri Pacific train wrecker, expiated his horrible and damn able crime oa the gallows shortly after J 0.28 Friday. He deserved the fate he met. Of all kinds of murderers, the bomb thrower or deliberate train-wrecker are the most damnable. Their victims may be numbered by the hundreds, and are the innocent and unexpecting. It is a wise thing for Nebraska as a state that the man who threw a passenger train from the track last February near Dunbar so quickly received the punishment ho so justly deserved. The execution of Hoff man will have a most salutary effect upon criminals of this stripe. Men fear the noose and gallows when "life in the j prison cell" has but slight apparent terror for them. Let train-wrecking murderers hang. Gazette. A rather romantic story comes from Nebraska City. An intelligent and bright German girl, about twenty years of age, came to the above town some time ago in company with a number of German emi grants, well supplied with money, but after a while her funds gave out, and she was compelled to seek refuge in the home for the friendless of Lincoln, where she gave birth to a boy which shortly after wards died. She confided her story to a lady from whom the account comes. The old, sad story of love and folly on one side and the devil cn the other. Her father, she claims, is a wealthy govern ment official in Germany, and of a highly respectable family. She met and loved a dashing officer of the army and fell a victim to folly. Her parents sent her from home and her lover sent her to this country to hide her shame, promising to follow and make her his wife. She has been waiting for six months, but in vain. She is still waiting, foolishly trusting, his excuse being that he cannot get the neces sary permit to leave the country. Salt Rheum or Eezema.

Marley, Miles and some other parties had been drinking and making considerable noise during the early psrt of the evening, and as is natural during such a carouse they went to the house near the Methodist church, kept by "Sullivan." Marley had at one time been "solid" with the young lady bearing the pugilistic name, but of late "Sul" has found another whom she pre fers. This other party was in tho house when 3Iarley came. The latter began making breaks with his pistol. "Whether he intended to shoot anyone or not is a disputed question. Some who were thero give it as their opinion that he did. Any how Marshal Miles evidently thought the pistol playing had gone far enough, as he attempted to take it away from Marley. In tho scuffle the pistol, a 45 cal., was discharged, the ball entering Miles' side two or three inches to the left of and below the navel, and coming out of the right hip. One of the bystanders had his pants cut and leg scratched by the bullet after it had passed through Miles' body. Tho wounded man-says it was an accident Others who saw it say it was an accident, so far, at least, as shooting Miles was concerned. Marley did not give himself up to the officers. Evidently he felt that he was not blameless, as he left town before morning and has not since been heard from. Miles lies at the post hospit al in a precarious condition. Tho doctors even cannot say whether he will live or die. Doctors Birhey, Cotter and Ewen have charge of tho case. Sidney Telegraph. At last the northwestern cattle ranges have all the cattle they can carry, and herds amounting to 50,000 head that had started from Texas to Montana have turned back. "With the ceasing of the Texas steer immigration Texas fever will also cease. The democracy of Ohio, in convention assembled, resolved against the importa tion of contract labor.

Pittsburg misses its canopy of smoke this summer, and, as a consequence, the thermometers have been breaking the record of that town in the past two or three weeks. The substitution of natural gas for coal has not been an unmixed blessing, it would seem. King Kalakaua of the nawaiin Islands, now wants United States marines to guard his palace. The king says he will not sign the new constitution unless com pelled to do so by force. He did not fear personal violence, but it might come, and he is sure the end of the revolution has not been reached. In calculating the chance of tho truth of the report that Stanley is dead, it must be remembered that Livingstone was re ported dead, and the report believed, years before that explorer passed from the land of the living. Tho slave traders have reason to discourage African explo ration and would not hesitate to lie if that would hinder Stanley's journey by spreading reports of Stanley's death. The success of De Lesseps' canal across the Isthmus of Suez is the chief argu ment used in France to induce subscrip tions to Panama canal shares. And sub scriptions are pouring at a rate that prom ise enough to complete the canal. The subscribers are mostly working people the wonderful common class of France, whose thrift paid the German war debt, and makes France the treasury of Europe. A few nights ago, at a menagerie in Chicago, Henry Decaber, one of the at tendants, went to sleep on top of a cage of lions. Turning in his sleep one leg dropped partly down by the side of the cage. The first thing he knew was that the beasts had dragged his leg through the upper bars of the cage and were claw ing and biting tho flesh. They pulled him off the roof, and he fell down on the floor fainting. He was terribly lacerated and nearly bled to death before assistance reached him. A telegram from Clinton, Iowa states that four people were shot during the wild west performance of Sells Bros.' circus Tuesday night. George Harring ton, aged twelve, was shot in the fore head and will die ; Mrs. "W. A.

One of the Indians was shot ; how badly he is hurt is not known. He was immediately taken away. No cause is given for using bullets, except that a cowboy got hold of the wrong re volver. It was done during the encounter of the cowboys and Indians in the ring. Purify Your Blood. If your tongue is coated. If your skin is yellow or dry. If you have boils. If you have fever.

One of Beauregard's old soldiers sent him a dollar and requested him to send a lottery ticket which would win a big prize. He added: "I was always at my post and never disobeyed orders. I came out of the war without clothes enough to wad a shot-gun." The General answered : "My dear old comrade, I send you a ticket that I hope will draw a prize, and beg leave to give you the following advice: If you stick to the Louisiana Lottery for four years as faithful as you did the Southern Confederacy, you will not have clothes enough to wad a pop gun." "Sunstroke and suicides are ia season remarks a Kansas editor," and fn half the cases occurring the sources of the evil will be found to have been beer. Too much beer drinking in hot weather affects the stomach and brain. Undoubtedly, cool beer is a pleasant thing for tho mo ment, with the thermometer registering 95 degrees in the shade, but undoubtedly a heated brain and disease of mind and body is liable to be tho payment of the pleasures. This is not temperance, but physiological talk. Tho police statistics of all large cities furnish the ground upon which it is made." Tho best gift a parent can give to his son is a good trade. The professions :ire overcrowded and thousands of young men are barely ekeing out a subsist aiTwhH? good, sober, intelligent niechanico aro al ways in demand and ''command remuner ative wages. Tiie worst thing a parent can do for his boys is to rear them in idleness because ho expects to leave them some monej'. In nine cases out of ten such sons either fill a criminal's, drunk ard's or a pauper's grave. The broad of idleness is a fatal poison to the moral nature. If parents were to encourage the read ing of newspapers by their children by taking one or moro of them into tho family, tbey would soon discover how much faster their children increased their stock of knowledge. Books soon becomo monotonous to the child while a nows paper is fresli once a week, and is looked for with as much interest as a promised present. The home paper is the poor man's library and the children's fount of knowledge. Any man can save enough money in one month to supply his family with reading matter in the shape of a newspaper for one year. Sitting alongside a lady in tho elevated train the other day she had occasion to adjust a portion of her dress which was fastened with a black pin, when the head broke in fragments and disclosed the fact that it was some kind of composition fast on a broken needle. Curiosity led me to make some inquires, and I found that nearly all the black headed pins in the market are made irom neeaies wnicn are broken in the factories in testing tho eyes Any one who has handled the black headed pins has probably noticed their remarkable sharpness as compared with the ordinary white pins sold in the market. This is the explanation that they are qjd needle3. New York Tribune. Many of tho public are not aware how great are tho profits made from directing tho game of base ball as a business in some of the cities of the country. For tho amount of capital invested there is probably nothing like it in any form of amusement. The expenses of base ball are, first, in hiring and filing up the grounds upon which it is played. ; nest, in the salaries paid the players; third, in the traveling expenses of the clubs. None of these require much preliminary out lay. Thero must be a guarantee as re gards some of them, but the game gener ally pays its way after tho season opens. It will be singular if somo enterprising manager outside of those who- have at present a monopoly of tho cream of the business does not before long devise a method of breaking in upon it. For base ball, rightly managed, may be made more remunerative than the drama, the concert hall or the sporting field of any kind. Boston affords a good example tho pres ent year of what may be done in this way. There will be about sixty-threo games of base ball played in the National league during the season, of which about thirty have been played. The attend ance at them has averaged 4,090 people This, at'50 cents a ticket, yields consider ably more than $2,000 a game, for there are reserved seats, to the amount of 1,200 in number, at 25 and 50 cents each, the most of which are generally sold, and there are perquisites of the grounds which bring in money. It is a low esti mate to set down the receipts of tho season at $125,000. Out of this are to be taken, perhaps $35,000 for salaries of players, $2,000 for ground expenses and a considerable sum for the cost of trans porting the players from one city to an other. It will be liberal to call this alto gether $50,000. The profits, therefore, that the season of five months will re present will be $75,000. Begg's Cherry Cough.
