Sidney Telegraph. -The Denver Times comes to hand with a tale of Colorado fishing in the Gunnison river, that state, which would make Messrs. Park and Woodhurst green with envy.

T'his is a very creditable fish tale thus early in the season. From a rather extended ride over the upland country southwest ot this city by the writer the first of the weelc, it is very evident that the corn crop in that locality can be put down as almost a total failure.

Douglas on Friday evening while out bicycle riding undertook to pass each other upon the same track with the usual result. In the collision "Jack" sus tained quite a severe scalp round. It is a little remarkale that with thelatter's railroad experience he should undertake this impracticable feat i As a rule our friend W. H. Broach is nbt unusually early riser, yet on last Saturday morning he rather departed from his regular custom.

The Boston Store is daily re ceiving its stock of new fall goods, and by the time they are all in it will be a question where all can be shelved.

If the parties io whom they are trad ed ever see them we may expect to hear of a seriefs of murders in the Hawkeye arid&ucker states. From the present indications Lincoln county and North Platte people will have to get a move upon themselves if they make a display in the great parade at the State fair in Omaha which attract more than ordinary attention, as the rivalry between the various counties and cities of Nebraska promises to be unusually great Plenty of mate rial is at hand to makei display which will make the people living east of the one hundredth meridian open their eyes in astonishment. All that is-necessary to accomplish this is for layor Baker to immedi ately calla public meeting of the citizens t&yrorhand in hand with the Lincoln Co. Immigration Ass'n for this purpose. In a multitude ot counsel there is wisdom, and at such a meeting probably ideas would be suggested which would be new to members of the association.
