A Mock company has boon qui etly orgaiii.ed under the name of the Alliance Manutuctuaiug com pany, the purpose of which is to put in an extensive plant for the manufacture of agricultural imple ments ami machinery, and the site selected is in the west end of Sarpy coutity, below what is known as the Santce Lakes. The water right tiled in the county clerk's office provides for a canal lad feet wide, six feet deep and seven miles long, lapping the Klkhorn river near its mouth j That such a canal would give an I immense water power there is no I doubt. The preparations of the I company have been kept very quiet. only two or three capitalists in the county being interested in the mat ter, and they are very reticent about the plans of the company. The company already has WaD.ijiM in stock, and the plant will be estab lished without any delay. They have already purchased a news paper at (iretna, a few miles from their scene of operations, and seem to be in earnest about the matter The establishment of such a factor here will create considerable inter est when it is generally known.

On the 'Jtitli day of last May Irvine entered the Lincoln hotel and shot and killed Montgomery while he was at the breakfast table. Both parties are well known and the trial will rival the Sheody case from a sensational standpoint. Now that II. A. Waterman V Son have given up the idea of building an opera house, Parnielo Craig can have full sway and tho can go to work at once and build another ope? a house lhat would be a credit to themselves and 'to the city.
