C. H. Dietrich of the German Na
tioual Bank of Hastings, has just re
turned from a journey to England and
tho continent, and from what ho saw
there he is satisfied that there is pros
perity ahead for tho farmers of tho
United States. "The drouth is s j bad in
Germany," he said, "that al'jng the
Rhino the farmers were oing among
tho trees and cutting tho boughs to
keep their stock alive. There is no
grain and no grass and no fodder of any
kind. Live stock cau be bought fr
almost nothimr. The drouth has ex
tended all over Europe. Iti England it
is not so bad as on tho continent, but
tho news you have received has shown
you that it is bad enough. Now, with
this great destruction of tho crops, it
seems impossible for tho world to get
along without drawing heavily from the
American store. Prices here are .low, I
know, but when the full force of the
foreign demand i3 folt tho combinations
of oporators iu iho east will be broken
and tho farmers will receivo satisfactory
prices for every thing they have to sell.
Buffalo Bill'3 Bis Heart.
A special from Chicago to the Omaha
Bee dated July 27th, says: Six thous
and restless heads tossed on what passes
for 0,000 pillows until late last night
before they quieted down to dream of
the time when the possessors of those
heads should win halos of glory by
slaughterjug Indians until tho vales
should run red with gore and kill buffalo
until the plains were dotted with the
dying brutes. For to-day waB tho day
of the waifs' annual picnic.
Since the time picnics were invented
there has never been such a one as this,
for tho crowning event of the day was a
visit to Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.
Tho youngsters paraded to the Central
station. Here the children were loaded
into special trains and taken to Sixty
third street. At Sixty-second street and
Stony Island avenue there is a tract of
land. Here a booth was erected for'serv-
ing tho lunches and here the races, four
teen in number, camo off. It was in
tended to form in iino and march into
the Wild West show in a body. But at
12:30 o'clock tho children .began to
gather at tho gate, though the perform
ance did not begin until 3 o'clock. In
ten minutes a stampede for the gato
begun that even the news of tho arrival
of two wagon loads of ice cream could
not stem.
At 12:50 the gates, though they had
been braced extra strong, yielded be
fore the sheer weight of numbers and
whooping and yelling like mad the child
ren raced in. The boys took tho ap
pearance of Indians in the grand city in
comparative quiet; the French and Ger
man soldiers stirred their blood a little,
and the cowboys roused them to en
thusiasm, which was increased by the
apgearance of United States cavalry.
But when Buffalo Bill galloped iu they
just went wild. They rose swung their
caps and hats, and screamed until they
were exhausted. Colonel Cody smiled
and waved his bat at them and the
cheers burst out louder than ever.
Every time he appeared the scene was
repeated.
After the Dead wood mail bad been
captured and rescued came something
that does not take place every day.
Buffalo Bill was sent for. He galloped
up on his handsome charger. Superin
tendent Daniels stepped forward, sup
ported on his right by a diminutive
messenger in uniform from the waif's
mission and on his right a picturesquely
dirty urchin with only one leg, but a
pair of sparkling brown eyes and a keen
countenance showed beneath the dirt
The messenger was James Durgan, the
one-legged boy was John Tartuff. Sup
erintendent Daniels expressed the grat
itude of all the boys and girls there for
the rich treat Colonel Cody had given
them.
Then little Johnny balanced himself
on his crutch and reaching up a small
box to the figure on horseback, piped:
"Here, Bill? here's somep'n from de
gang."
Bill bowed his acknowledgement and
took the "somep'n." It proved to be a

5Chjiderice st A. J. Minshall on
west'Fifth'Btreet.caught fire about three
o'clock Monday morning, and before ex
tinguished the .flames had gutted the
interior, Mr.- Minshall had been 6ick
duringthe night and Mrs. M. had been,
lip to gt)t him some medicine, leaving a
light burning on a table situated near a
curtained door. The supposition is that
the wind blew the curtains over
the lamp igniting them and the flames
soon spread to other parts of the house.
When the sleeping inmates on the second
floor awoke they found it impossible to
descend the stairway. Mr. Minshall
hurriedly tied several sheets together
and lowered himself out of a, window to
the ground. Ho then procured a ladder
nd by this means Mrs. Minshall and
daughter Inez made-their escape.
Partr'of the furniture, including the
piano were gotten out of the house, but
the wardrobe of the family together
with a major portion of the furnishings
werejeonsumed.
There was an insurance of $1,000 on
tho house and tho same, amouut on the
furniture and clothing. On tho latter
the loss is probably covered, but on the
building there will be a loss of several
hundred dollars..

Shop and Bo ad Notes.
Engine 633 went into the shop Mon
day for a general rebuilding.
John Merriman, of the car repair gang,
is off duty on account of an injured foot.
M. K. Stokes, who had a foot mashed
some time ago, was compelled to have a
toe amputated last week.
Forty hours per week is now the work
ing time in the shops, which compels
the boys to squeeze the dimes mighty
hard.
Just at present the air is full of rumors
concerning changes in U. P. official
circles, one of which, if correct, will
affect certain ones at this point.
The 645 came out of tho shops Monday
and was taken to Cheyenne by Engineer
Struthers and Fireman Doud who will
probabJy bring back the 683.
The uso of baggage agents on the
Union Pacific trains has been abolished
for tho present, that work being added
to the duty of the express messengers.
Leo Hart left Monday nigth for
Hot Springs near Ogden to take treat
ment for rheumatism, from which he has
been severely afflicted for two or three
weoks past.
The boiler in the round house has been
taken to the boiler shop for a new fire
box and flues This has made necessary
the temporary abandonment of the pump
in tho round bouse.
Operator Claybaugh, who has been in
the dispatcher's office, has been trans
ferred to the night key at the depot and
Mr. Cox goes to Julesburg, the operator
at that point having been let out.
Jno Traynor, who has been "smashing
baggage" on tho Union Pacific for over
a dozen years, has been set back to
breaking, and is now on the fast mail
run. He draws baggageman's pay.
Engiueer Stuart on Wednesday night
pulled No. 1 from this place to Julesburg
in ninety-five minutes, the distance being
eighty-ono miles. This we beiievo breaks
the record for a six-car west bound train.
Is this retrenchment of expenses on
the Union Pacific a move to keep the
road out of the hands of a receiver, or is
it in anticipation of tho reduced rates to
be caused by tho putting in force of the
new rfite law?
Geo. Daly quit work Friday and on
Sunday left for Dunkirk, N. Y., where
he has a situation as round-house ma
chinist awaiting him. During his stay
hero ho collected quite a store of Indian
relics.
The dispatcher's office at Grand Island
has been discontinued and the Second
district will be worked from tho Omaha
office, as was formerly done. In dull
times this can bo successfully accom
plished, but during rushes of freight it
is a'great strain on the dispatchers.
Lee Nicholson, of the Cheyonno shops,
visited his old friends here last week, ho
having formerly been employed here.
He says the forco at Cheyenne is steadily
diminishing in numbers, the majority of
the men not liking the work there,
although the facilities aro better than at
any other point on the road.
When tho managers of the western
roads agree to disagree on world fair
rates, and this they are likely to do,
thore will bo music in the air accom
panied by a big drop in the fair to
Chicago. The time for which tho public
ha3 been anxiously waiting will un
doubtedly soon be here.
Last Friday morning tho blast fan in
the shop exploded for tho second time
and demolished its machinery beyond
repair. It gavo some of tho workmen
quite a scare, but lhey are now glad that
it has gone tho way of all things, as it
mado a very unpleasant noise when in
motion. A now fan arrived Saturday
evening and was placed in position Sun
day. It runs very smoothly.

Cbolera la Mecca.
Not often in the holy bat unclean city
of Mecca has the cholera been more de
structive than it is this year. The deaths
from it, as stated in such reports as can
be procured, range from 500 to 700 a day,
without taking account of the mortality
along the -ways leading to the city. The
cases must be numbered by the thou
sand. We suppose that a large propor
tion of the victims must be pilgrims, for
the settled population of the place is but
little over 40,000. The number of pil
grims this year, especially from India
and Persia, has been inordinately large.
The ordinary sanitary laws are disre
garded in Mecca as in other cities of the
Mohammedan world. Anything like
scientific treatment of the cholera is un
known. The fatalistic believers regard
a visitation of it as the decree of Allah.
They are willing that it shall bring them
death, if they but die within view of the
holy city or on the way thereto, as para
dise is assured them. The cholera was
in Mecca last year. It is almost as con
stant there as it is in the delta of the
Ganges. It often rages fiercely there
without approaching any part of Eu
rope. New York Sun.
Pro flt ob little Neck Clams.
Despite the prevailing depression in
many lines of business, one Indnstryin
this section employs a large number of
hands and is running overtime. It is
that of gathering the delicious bivalves
about the size of a silver dollar known
as Little Neck clams. The catch in this
vicinity averages nearly 100 barrels a
week, for which wholesale dealers in
New Tork pay 8 to $ 10 a barrel.
There are usually about 3,500 clams
in a barrel, but sometimes when they
are running nnusually small there may
be 5,000. When a New Yorker enters a
swell" restaurant and pays 40 cents for
seven or eight of these little bivalves, it
can readily bo seen that a barrel con
taining 3,500, and costing about $10, will
yield the proprietor something like $200.
There is a market for Little Necks all
the year round, but it is difficult to
catch them during the winter months.

Edie Hickani. an old negress, is the
plaintiff in perhaps the most remarka
ble case ever tried in the courts of this
county. She is an ex-slavo and brought
suit against her master, Joseph Hickam
of this county, for $5 a month wages as
a family domestic for 24 years, during
which time she claims to have been kept
in ignorance of her emancipation. The
suit was instituted here in 1889 for
$1,400 and resulted in a judgment hi
her favor for $700. Defendant appealed
to the Kansas City court of appeals,
which remanded the case to tho circuit
court of the county, which now renders
a decision for tho defendant A motion
for a new trial has been filed. Boone

Standard of measurement.
The "foot" is named from tho length
of that member in a fnll grown man.
Some say that it was so called from the
length of the foot of a certain English
ting, but it is believed to have been a
standard of measurement among the an
cient Egyptians.
The cubit is from the Latin cubitus,
an elbow, and is the distance from the
elbow to the end of the middle finger.
Fathom is from tho Aryan, fat. to ex
tend, and denotes the distance from tip
to tip of the fingers, when the arms of
an average sized man are fully extended.
