No other town in Cheyenne county except Sidney receives half as much freight aud express as Kimball. The present capacity of our freight house is entirely inadequate to the requirements. Oftentimes perishable freight must remain oufjn the wind and weather. Agent Smith does his best to take care of the stuff, trrifthc can't load ten tons of goods into a five ton houss. Sidney. From the Telegraph. John McShane and Wm. Paxton have the contract for supplying Pine Ridge, Rosebud, Chevenne auu Brule Indian agencies with cattle during the next fiscal year. The Indians at these four agencies eat about 20,000 beeves each year. There were 88 vjjtesy. ca?t for and 13 against the proposition to issue )jT2,000 in school bonds to build a new school house. The proposition having received more than two thirds of the vote cast has been declared carried and as soon as bonds are approved by the State auditor the school board will take active step towards com mencing work. Thirty-seven votes were caM in favor of the Paine block and nine for the Mcintosh block. G. 11. Whitney, a passenger traveling on a through emigrant ticket from San Franckco to Oswego, N. Y., became possessed of an hallucination that parties on the train he was riding on intended to rob and kill him and got oft of No. 2 Tuesday while at Sidney, leaving his valise and other property in the car and starting across the prairie south of town on foot. Sheriff Eubank: overtook him and brouglit Jiim bach, jlle remained at the Metropolitan hotel 'overnight and continued on his journey Wednesday. On every other subject but the one of robbers being on the train he was perfectly sane. The remains of a man who had evidently been dead several months were found recently eleven miles north of Chappell. Coroner Patterson was notified and went to Chappell Thursday and with the follow ing jurors reprired to Jhe spot and held an inquest: J. F. Wellington, Ira Brash ears, Geo. D. Williams. H. Rice. W. II. McEldowny and John Siattefy. A pass port showing the man to be Louis Flory, a native of Berne, Switzerland, born in 1824 and naturalization papprs issued at New Philadelphia, O., June 4:h 18(12,. together with seven five dollar gold pieces were the only articles found on his person. There were no signs of foul play and no one at Chappell knew anything about Flory. The jnrj jreU"Lj. yerdictof death from causes nniefcown. The body was interred yesterday a$ Chappell. Calloway, .is the name of a new town platted last week in Currier county. The site is what has been known as Delight postoffiee, about twenty miles east of Arnold. Knowing ones iay that Calloway is to be the terminus of a branch of the Union Pacific, that is it will be the terminus for a year, but Ihe road will then be extended west to a point not yet definitely established. Gothenburg Inde pendent. iorus will testify. Three. good seasonable rains is all that is needful , in fact more would be a damage for the reason that too much rain causes the weeds to grow that waste the substance of the soil and choke out the crop. Besides many seasons the rain prevents the farmer from work that is necessary, such as making improvements. Rainy weather is what the hired men who work for farmers generally pray" for and is the only prayer some of them ever utter. Ogallala Xetcs. We have exploded the hallucination about no water, nil sand hills and a God forsaken country in general, and are now receiving our reward by seeing immigra tion How into our county; for the past mouth there has not been a day but what we could count from one to ten immi grant vagons in town, and it is a fact that nine out of ten that comes here looking for land locates in this county. The Cody lake country is uow receiving the most attention, and with the large tract of land just discovered by J. W McSay added to that already known, will be an additional inducement for settlers to visit this section of Nebraska. This line country is all rich valley land and about ten miles from Gandy, the county seat of Logan county, and the road to it is through a combination of valleys. Gandy Pioneer. In time the B. & M. railroad will have a great through line in this count- from Nemaha on the Missouri. The road is now completed to Tobias, a distance of 103 miles. From Tobias to Holdredge the contract has been let for 115 miles. From Holdredge to El wood 28 miles are in operation and from El wood the contract is let to Curtis, in Frontier county, a distance of 30 miles making a total of 276 miles all of which will be in operation before the; close of the year. Next year the road will be extended twenty miles into Lincoln county, which is as far as the road has been located. From Lincoln county on a preliininery survey has been run through towns 9 in Keith county to Akron in Weld county. The engineers have received instructions to run another survoy for this line further north, estab lishing better grades and reaching nearer the center of the south half of the county. When the more pressing extensions, caused by the rivalry of the Union Pacific, Rock Island and Northwestern are completed the Keith county branch will be pushed through on one of the surveys, but this will not be for two or three years at least. Settlrs on the Clia.se county line who expect the cars to haul in their coal and haul out their grain this year will be disappointed. Keith Co. Xetrs. Another plume in the cap of Denver Junction is the completion of the new bridge spanning the Platte river. The work was accomplished and the firt team crossed on Thursday afternoon. All interested in the growth and advancement of our town will be gratified to learn that the greatest obsticle in the advancement of all our interests is now removed. No other town in states or territories can record so rapid developments as Denver Junction. The recent rains have estab lished the fact Unit this country can dignity over that responsi than the little, quiet sister. Rose Elizabeth. May she win the best and most loyal man in all this land and have a house of her own. The days of the grasshopper, the potato bug, the cotton worm, and the weevil draw near, and bulls and bears breathless ly listening for the hum of wings and sounds of cheering. These little insignifi cant workers have made and unmade many a man's fortune. As a rule when they are reported as destroying everything we are pretty certain to have a good crop. Possibly Kansas City will not crow so loud about her "raillion-dollar-court-house" when it is found to require "another million to finish it,'' and a couple of hundred thousand; to correct blunders and make it inhabitable and safe. Look at Albany, New York, -for instance, on her nineteenth million dollars, and not uear done. The use of tobacco, in all its forms, appears to be fearfully on the increase in Chicago as well as elsewhere. The percentage of the increase of the sale has been larger than that of any other business during the past five years. Accordiug to the Tribune, a revenue officer has made the statement that there are 0,000 places ;n the city, including saloons, drug stores and retail groceries, where the weed and its numerous adulter ations are sold. The estimate is made that .00,000 people indulge in the use of tobacco and that they consume $50,000 worth daily, or 15.250,000 annually. The estimate of 50,000 a day, or fifty cents a piece tor the luu.uuu consumers, is doubtless an exaggeration ; but allowing a reduction of one-half, we have over 9,000,- 000. With this large expenditure, added to that for whiskey and beer, it is no wonder that there are hard times among such large numbers, so many tramps and beggars, and such repeated calls for charity. Much of the money thus given goes to support the saloons and tobacco shops, or to replace that which is expended in them, instead of going to the support of families. Ex.

The Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York cit rents for 185,000 .1 year. The lessees get back about 60,000 of this from store keepers who have leases on the premises. "A genuine patriot," said an election orator, recently, "must at all times be read' to die for his country, even if it should cost him his life." (Thundering applause. The oldest Episcopal Church in the country is at Williamsburg, Va. It con tains the font in which Pocahontas was baptised, and had among its communicants George and Martha Washington. The "Maine law" is still supposed to be in force in Maine, yet of 1,033 arrests reported for last year by the city marshal of Portland, "1,320 were for crimes directly resulting from liquor." The largest dog in the country is said The East River bridge is three years old, and forty-five millions of persons have passed between New York and Brooklyn by this great highway, and the receipts last week nearly fifteen thousand were the largest that have been taken. Prince Jerome Napoleon willsoon,go to the United States. Tho ostensible object of his trip to America is said to.be to meet his son, who is returning by way of San Francisco and New York from trip around the world. Since the inception of the little un pleasantness between the United States and Canada concerning the fisheries, wa observe that 14,000 cans of Canadian lobsters have been seized in New York On the ground that they were probably dangerous to the consumer. As tho health of the consumer has withstood a great mauv thousand cans of these marine products every summer heretofore, the seizure at this juncture appears to be a little gauzy. This country can't afford to play the sneak. Let the government find out what we. ought to have in the fishery matter and then have it, with no underhand nonsense. Lincoln Journal. Eugene Field is fond of printing funny things about people in the Chicago Daily . Xctcs. We wonder if he will reproduce " the following, which comes on good authority: Field "was present in market square on the night the bombs were thrown, and at the first explosion joined the scattering crowd and lied. He was knocked down and trampled on, and ns soon as he recovered his feet he made a frantic rush for tho Desplains street station, into which he bounced 'crying, "I'm shot, I'm shot." "Oh. no," .said the officer, "you don't look as though you were shot." "Yes, I am," he insisted. "I'm shot in the back, and my pante are saturated with blofd." The officer examined, nnd sure enough, his clothes were really wet. Still further investiga tion showed, however, that it was not blood, but the contents of a pint bottle which he carried in his rear pocket; and had broken when he fell. He is said to be very glad that it was no worse. Exchange. The Philadelphia Pre.su is authority fr the statement that in a cyclone in Ohio "the boundary lines of several townships were bent all out of shape." The torando referred to is said to have occurred at a place called Codorus. The Philadelphia Presx, for a newspaper of its age, is virile and audacious. A Nebraska postmaster was accused, of being "roaring drunk." He admitted being on two occasions in tb Stit referred to. One was the time of Grover Cleveland's election, the other was when the Republican postmaster was turned out and he was put in. The Kansas City Time believes "if there ever was au excuse for a roaring drunk" the Nebraska postmaster should be considered justified. A Reque3t.
