Excelsior is his name. ON the first of the week I. S. P. Weeks received the appointment of As sistant Engineer of the B. & M. , with headquarters at Lincoln. IT savors of the ludicrous to observe the patriotic democratic editor through out the state rush in where angels fear to tread to the defense of our only great Van Wyck. Will some one please call the sombre-hued gentleman down from the wood pile. A NUMBER of C. B. & Q. and B. & M. officials met in Denver , the first part of the week. Wonder if the great Bur lington system isn' t reaching out yearn ingly for a Utah exteution in the near future ? It is only a question of time and it can't be long.

P. and all Frontier county in at tendance. ANOTHER dynamite outrage has al most paralyzed Denver. An account of the event is printed in our news columns this morning. It is clear that vigorous measures should be taken for the sup pression of these dastardly attempts on human life. It is doubtful whether the people of Denver are equal to the emer gency. That city is flooded with po licemen and detectives , but a half dozen outrages have been perpetrated within the past two months and not eveu an ar rest has been made. Topics. A PARTY of Texas steers while being escorted by butcher boys through the streets of New York , the other day , took a notion to paint the city red and acted accordingly on the street. The police turned out with their usual gallantry , unlimbering their side artillery. They succeeded in killing a man who hap pened to be out taking an airing , but they didn't hit a Texas steer , an ani mal that pays little heed to a "pop" of any sort short of an elephant rifle. Some gallant cowboys , however , got after them with lassoes and stopped the raid. Journal. A CURIOUS coincidence is noted in connection with the recent electric dis plays in New York. A thunder storm came on at Riverside park after the workmen who were constructing Gener al Grant's temporary tomb had made considerable progress. They fled to a shelter near by , and in a few moments lightning struck the spot where they had been at work and obliterated every thing tliey had accomplished up to that time. The "next day a thunder storm visited Mt. McGregor , and the lightning struck in the vicinity of the house where the body of the great commander was lying , prostrating a group of people who were standing in front of the building - Journal. WORK on the grounds of the inter state fair to be held between this place and Blue Springs , the latter part of September , is being pushed with vigor and everything will be in readiness long before the exhibition opens. All of the committees are composed of good and energetic men who are sparing no pains to make the fair the finest and best in this part of the state. The race track will be fitted up in fine style by exper ienced horsemen , and sporting men can rest assured of excellent accommoda tions in all respects. An agricultural and floral hall will be built , and plenty of sheds and stalls for the accommoda tion of stock. The grounds will be sup-s plied with plenty of water , and a great many other conveniences which will be enumerated in the future. $5,000 in cash premiums will be offered besides special purses for speed and amusements of various kinds. Large posters will soon be distributed , followed by smaller bills giving the particulars , and all will soon have an opportunity of learning the many attractions which are to be offered. Everyone is taking hold of the matter with an earnest determination to make the fair the best ever held in Gage county , and with fair weather and good crops this will be easily accomplished. Wymorian. I SOMEWHAT more than a year ago Mr. W. J. Wilson , of Denver , made a rous- I ing sale of his cattle and landed estates in the Republican river country for quite a fabulous price. If our memory j serves us right the price obtained was 1 $214,000 ; $100,000 in cash and the rest I secured by mortgage. The sale was made J to an English syndicate , through the in strumentality of Mr. Robinson , Sr. , of tne Chicago Union Stock Yards. Mr. Robinson went over to Europe aud ne gotiated the sale to a corporatian in London. When the delivery of the prop erty took place Mr. L. E. P. Wilkes , a gentleman of her majesty's dominions , assumed control as manager. By some misunderstanding of a contract a dis pute arose as to commissions between Mr. Wilson and Mr. Robinsonthe , agent. This at first would have seemed to have been a private affair , but in'the grand round-up it became a public one. To pay the remaining $114,000 the Eng lish gentlemen depended on placing their stock in the London market. This they had confidence could be done. Now it is charged that Mr. Robinson , immediately after the sale , became so soured that he commenced letter writ ing to Europe , and wrote such damag ing things that it gave the scheme a cold chill among the Britishers , and they closed their money bags against the stock of this "New United States Cat tle Ranch Company. " Another circumstance took place right away after Mr. Wilson made the transfer , that was damaging to the op erators on the other side of the ocean probably worse than Mr. Robinson's let ters. This was the order from the in terior department removing the fences from the public domain. On the graz ing ground of this outfit there was from fifty to a hundred miles of fence. This was now ordered down , and close upon the mandate the granger settlements of western Nebraska were pressing in up on the range and occupying the soil , and what had been looked upon as a mam moth grazing field was now dwindling to a pigmy. Within the past few da s Mr. Wilson has been compelled to enter upon and take possession of the property under his mortgage , the English gentlemen having failed to meet their payments. We hear it rumored that Mr. Wilson , when the lowing herds are gathered , will remove them from the Republican river country to fields that are new and grass that is green in Arizona. Colo.

OUU DAllLUfG. j Guuo our morning : light , Gone our eveninfr star , Gone beyond our sight To tbo land afar ! Gone our garden flower , Gone our daily joy , Gono as in an hour , Gone our darling boy. * Far , oh 1 far above Lands of cloud and storm , By thegate of love , Rests a shining form Robed in purest white , With the angel throng. Crowned with living light , Blest with endless song. Though like summer rain Fall the tears of grief. Though this heavy pain Gives us no relief ; Though so great our loss Burdening all our cure , Though this daily cross Long bo hard to bear , Could wo wish him back To this world of ours , Even were life's track Through a land of flowers ? Could we wish him here , Subject long to sin , Since the Heaven so near Ho has entered in ? Great , oh ! great his gain On the blessed shore , Free from every pain Happy evermore ! Rest , then , child of ours , With the cherub throng ! Charm the Eden bowers With thy sweetest song ! A SAD CASE Sheriff Bohrer of llaw- lins county , Kansas , came up to town , yesterday , in search of information con cerning a young man by the name of Kelly , who left the home of his parents in Rawlins county , some months since , and came to McCook , since which time nothing has been heard of him. His parents , especially the mother , ( who is always solicitous about the children , )4 ) is frantic about the matter , and fears are entertained that reason will be dethron ed unless the young man is found. The sheriff and Attorney Cochran have been. spending some time searching for the young man , but so far , we believe , with out success. Mrs. Bohrer accompanied the sheriff , and has been a guest at the B. &M. Eating House. Attached to No. 1 , Tuesday night , was also General Manager Holdredge's special , containing the General Manager , General Freight Agent Miller and party , bound for Denver , whither ThirdVice President Potter had preceded them a few days. The train men enjoy the fun they find , these piping summer days , in hiring small boys to go'to McCook for the pur pose of driving toads out of town. Ox ford Register. We presume the above ought to be labeled "A Joke. " No. 1 , Tuesday night , and No. 2 , yes terday morning , were delayed a few hours by a wash-out at Camp Creek , near Stratton. Camp Creek is an old offender her "high lonesomes" are nu merous. if not startling. A drunken idiot or crank who was swinging his ponderous pistol around rather promiscuously at the depot Tues day morning , was promptly disarmed by Fred Snow , much to the relief and com fort of the bystanders. We are informed by Dr. G. F. Lloyd that he intends locating permanently in our city in the practice of his profes sion. The doctor hails from Hastings and has his right optic on the B. & M.
