Tub wild-rushing destructive cyclones
of the last few years , apparently increas- '
ing in frequency and violence , have sug-
gwted to many men the propriety of si- '
ouring some means of refuge from the
death-dealing disturbances. The idea of
building a cave , strong enough to with
stand these supposed electric storms , has
met with general approval by those who
have given the subject thought. The
main objection to building a place of this
kind for cyclone protection would be , *
that every time a cloud no larger than a
man's hand with a funnel shaped appen- c
dage is noticed in the heavens , one
• would naturally take to the cave. This "
fi
I would , of course , grow monotonous in a
I short time , mid when a real cyclone is I !
I jn gjght , like the man who replied to a
! | 2j0Eh Kfter being refused admission to o
I his ark , during the flood , would insist r
| that it was only a thunder storm any- ]
| way and lose the protection the cave
B afforded. Beo. c

Articles incorporating the Republi-
| can Valley & Wyoming railroad were
filed at the secretary of state's office ,
Monday. This is a new branch of the
B. & M. railroad that has its initial point
at the town of Culbertson , Hitchcock
county. The road is to run in a north
westerly direction from that point
through the counties of Hitchcock , Hayes
and Chase to the Colorado line. It is
presumable that this is the new line to
Cheyenne and that articles incorporat
ing in Colorado and "Wyoming will be
filed in conjunction with these. The
principal place of business of this new
line is located , at Culbertson , Hitchcock
county , subject to change by the direc
tors to any other point in the state if
they desire. The capital stock is fixed
at $1,400,000 , in shares of $100 each.
The company is to commence business
when $140,000 of the stock is subscrib
ed. The following board of seven direc
tors have their signature affixed to the
articles : G. W. Holdrege , C. D. Dor-
man , C. J. Greene , J. G. Taylor , P. S.
Eustis , Thomas Miller and William A.
Higgins. •
The Saratoga limited to be run over
the Central Hudson River railroad be
tween New York and Saratoga will be
one of the fastest trains in the world ,
making the distance between the two
place * in four hour * and a quarter. The
run from New York to Trov , 14S miles
will be , made without a stop. This will
be a longe. - continuous run than is
made by any train in America.
Tin : auditor's reports show that Neb
raska pays out about $450,000 a year
in premiums to foreign insurance com
panies , of which only about $70,000
comes back in fees. Nebraska has sev
eral solid insurance companies , aud the
more patronage they get the solider
they will become. Why not keep this
half million dollars at home ?
Wk have it from good authority that
the dirt will begin to move on the line
up the Frenchman from the 15th to 20th
of May. And when this line is complet
ed Culbertson will be the terminus of
the line ; and trains will not run into
McCook. The McCook papers to tic
contrary notwithstanding. Reveille.
Thk editor of the McCook Tribune ,
has been subjected to cowardly threats
because in commenting on the result of
the recent city election there he took oc
casion to say that the hummers and sa
loon element where relegated to back
seats. It's the same with that element
everywhere , brother.Oberlin Eye.
Premium lists for the state fair are

example with good effect.
