With one of Lincoln's leading
hotels sold tinder the sherilFs ham
mer, and the V. M. C. A. building
to be sold the 8th prox. it looks as
if times in the Capital city were not
as thrifty as formerly. If this urban
village does not soon wake up and
get a move on her self or a thump
ing big appropriation for making
Salt creek navigable for light draft
ducks she will soon rival the old
territorial capital. No wonder the
state board of agriculture wisely
concluded to not locate the state
fair there for the next demi-decade
of years.
Coroner Bennett was called to
(ribbon last Thursday to investi
gate the death of Fred Hoffman, a
poor German. Dr. Bennett found
that Hoffman had hanged himself
in an unoccupied house. No jury
was summoned, as there was no
doubt of the manner or cause of
death. It appears that Hoffman
was in destitute circumstances and
had been living-on one meal a day
as long as he could. He applied
for aid. and was told he would be
accommodated at the poor house.
He replied he would rather hang
himself, and he proceeded to carry
out his preference. He has no rela
tives in this vicinity, but it is said
that his friends live inlllinois.-Hub
No matter, says the Kearnew New
Era, what sort of a year it ma- be,
wet or dry, the farmer who has his
land so he can irrigate only fort or
fifty acres will make mone-. This
he can cultivate like a garden,
usually with no other help than his
ooo man, or possible two. He isjvt
dependent upon the failure of the
wheat crop in India for good prices,
nor does he complain of the railroad
company for robbing him of his
profits by freight charges. He has
a prompt and profitable market in
sight of his own door for anything
he can raise. This is how it will
be in Buffalo county, -and. in fact,
throughout the entire Platte valley
where irrigation is adopted.

News reached this city Sunday
night of the death of J. D. Mat
thews, at Syracuse, N. Y. For a
number of years the deceased was
chief train dispatcher and train
master at this place. His death
occurred at 9:25 p. m. By reason
of his long connection with the road
he had formed a large circle of
friends and acquaintances who will
regret his demise. For a number
of mouths past he has been troubled
with a cancerous formation in his
neck, which doubtless was the
proximate cause of his death.

energetic men.

maps of Lincoln county yesterday
morning. They are 24x47 inches in

school districts, the location ot the
irrigation canals and the bridges
across the rivers and many other
matters of interest. Mr. Fort re

well worth the money.
The mask ball given by the
Red Men at the opera house on
Friday evening last was unusually
well attended, both by maskers and
spectators. Of the former there
were about two hundred and of the
latter a sufficient number to fill the
galleries and part of the floor below.
Prior to the grand march a farce
entitled Pocahontas" was given on
the stage, an affair that created
considerable amusement for the
crowd. After dancing for two
hours the masks were removed, and
the spectators who felt certain that
they had identified John Smith or
Elmira Jones beneath his or her
mask, realized in a great man- in
stances that they were not good
guessers. It was about four in the
morning when the last waltz ended.

W. M. Hintnau received word
from Washington this week that a
new turn was being taken iu his

of the doings of an old North Platte

G. R. R. It- appears that he was

opened fire upon Alex, until he had
emptied his revolver of five loads,

I. A. Fort this morning received
a letter from Hon. Chas. W. Irish.
Chief of Office of Irrigation Inquiry
of the Agricultural Department,
from which we make the following
extract which will prove of interest
to western Nebraska people.
"I see that you partly
misunderstood me regarding the
corn. I cannot get the department
to help in the matter, for it is bound
up by the law making appropria
tions, and cannot act in such mat
ters. But I am willing to join in
the purchase of say one-half to one
ton of corn for seed to be distribu
ted by your society or association
among the drouth-stricken farmers
of Nebraska and Kansas and sur
rounding country, and will do my
part in getting concessions by rail
way companies on freight charges.
I will to-day write Allison Bros, of
Tucson. Ariz. as to the cost of the
corn. If that corn proves fitted to
the climate and conditions of Ne
braska and Kansas I have a plan
by which, with two other forage
plants, good feed can be had thro
the growing season each year with
the help of a little water on small
farms of ten acres or so. Have you
ever thought of a plan by which to
get a continuous measurement ot
the waters of the North and South
Platte, and other streams of your
state. I had hoped, and still hope,
to get an appropriation to enable
me to put some such plan at work,
and I wish that vou would write
Senator Allen and call his attention '
to the matter, for it is in the senate j
we have been beaten, by Senators
Stewart and Jones, of my state,

tions cut down. It is a matter al
together personal to them. I am
not acquainted with him or I would
go and see. him. I am very truly
yours, Chas. W. Irish.
