As the season approaches for prairie fires it behooves the farmer to surround his lands with guards to prevent its spread. While it may be true that ground burnt over in the fall will produce greener and more tender grass in the spimg, it is also true that the heat and fire have a damag ing effect on the soil that is more perma nent and greater in its effects than the transient benefit derived from the efEect on the grass. The fires also have a ten dency to generate high winds, which visit portions of this country in the shape of cyclones. "When you are tempted to burn off your hay lot think of it and don't.

Julesburg Gazette. Five hundred indians on leave of absence from the Pine Ridge Agency were loitering over the country on the north side of the North Platte last week. They were R?d Cloud's band of Sioux. Two hundred more without absence of leave were sent for by the U". S. authorities at the agency. The settlers along Blue Creek were fearful that the Indians would do them injury and congregated at Baker's "Wednesday night of last week. The reds took their departure the last of the week.

Keith County Tiie completion of the railroad to Broken Bow was an event so much de sired, so muoh talked about, thought about and dreamed about that when the tracklayers reached here on Friday after noon and the construction train pulled in, our citizens were nearly beside themselves with joy. Business was forgotten and it appeared that every man, women and child had turned out to welcome the first locomotive. To further manifest the gen eral good feeling the cornet band escorted Superintendent of Construction. A. J. Chamberland and his gang of 125 track- I layers to the puclic square where an im- promptual banquet was served. In be half of his men, Mr. Chamberland in a neat little speech, thanked their enter tainers, and the sturdy laborers to show their appreciation of the little attention, proposed and gave round after round of hearty cheers for Broken Bow. They were then again formed in line and es corted back to their quarters on the train. Statesman. Bell, the prisoner confined in the coun ty jail for stealing Blackmore's poney on the night of the 17th of May and caught on the 21st at Sidney, whittled through the ceiling in the front room of the jail at 20 minutes past 2 this (Friday, the 27thj afternoon. The jailer, Mr. Kiser, had not been absent over half an hour when he had successfully cut a board in two and pulled the nailed end loose, crawled up in in upper portion of the jail. He w;is seen by M. B. Neeves while running north from the jail. About 25 men are now in pursuit, but there is little hope of catching him as he is desperate and has expressed a wish to die rather than be again confined. It has been the habit of of the jailer to allow the prisoners the use of knives dur ing the day in order to give them some thing to do. They have made several small articles while thus employed. The man Bell is about five feet and eight inches tall, is rather pale from con finement and is 21 years old. The county will probably offer a reward for his ar rest. Ogallala Xcks. Mr. "Wm, Bampton, accompanied by his father left here yesterday for their home near Boston, Mass. It will be remembered that on the Sth of July Mr. Hampton received severe injuries from the bursting of a gun, which resulted in three radiating fractures of the skull with depressions of the bone into the brain. "When consciousness returned it was found that all power of speech and swallowing was lost. Dr. Birney, of Tabor was called aud proceeded at once to perform the operation of trephaning the skull and raising the broken and depressed bone from off tiie brain, with the result of an i.nmediate return to con sciousness and partial relief in swallowing.

"Where thirty years ago no white man had ever beforo lived; here, where there was ono vast waving meadow of Inch srass. which from the bluffs looked like a deep green sea ; when no house or tree could be seen to break the wild expanse, inhabited only by the wild bulTalo, elk, deer, antelope and wolf; where then 4,000 Indians roamed, chased their game and met in battle their ancient savago foes. Here, where the red man and warpainted savago knew no master, had ono of tho threo white men now living, while in Buffalo, N. Y., mapped a transcontinental railway, and who had met another of the three in Des Moines, and there proposed to him a company to locate this city. Here, where the one to whom this proposition was made was the first to come upon tho loca tion pointed out to him by the other, and befofe these two could get their outfit from Omaha, the third man of tho three was upon the ground. These three, who drove the first stake and made the first settlement and thus shaped the future of the prettiest city in Nebraska, aro still here with families reared on the ground, and have never had to leave "their country for its good." To-day they greet the Stato fire fighters, instead of the savage of thirty years ago. Fremont Herald. .

It can further be noted that tho quantity and quality of the brains carried around under his hat are somewhat over average. Lord Salisbury, the new prime minis ter of England, i3 reported to have said that twenty years more of co-ercion will be neccessary to the welfare of the Irish people. "When it is understood that co ercion means degredation and misery for the Irish people we of the United States completely fail to understand the feelings which prompt the adoption of such a pol icy. Coercion, intensified by English ha tred and English brutality, has been used n Ireland for 700 years. It may be pos sible that Lord Salisbury may continue the English coercive policy for twenty years longer. But public sentiment in England is rapidly crystalizing against that policy and it must soon'be done away with. Francis Murphy, the great apostle of temperance, who has done more practical good for the cause tnan all the Neal Dows,-John P.
