Hot "Weather.
It U oat of the order of things to havs what
may be termed a "heated term" in June, but that
1 what wa have had this year. Last week was a
Kcorcher all over the country, being several de
gree hotter ia Illinois than the hottest day of
Iaatymr. The tempera rare at this place was not
a high as we have experienced on several occa
sions, but owing to peculiar conditions of the at
mosphere, aad especially the wind, it seemed to
be very oppressive. The hot wave having passed
the temperature has resumed its normal condition
for this season of the year.
A number of people had. a big ffrr we
might y a high time at Lamplngh's falri last
Sanday. In the morning a wagon loaded with
beer aad decorated with flags arid evergreens,
paraded the streets and was seen to go out of
town in the direction of the North River bridge.
It waa soon followed by the desciples of Gara
briaaa, and from the number of carriages that
went out during the day a TnathPTwatTcffm fig
ured up the number at seventy they are evi
dently legion. The day was epent by ths picnic
era ia a very happy manner in boating, in song
and games, and ic Several ludicrous scenedl
took place. One gentleman of huge proportions
riding in aboat with some women, was accident
ally thrown in the water, creating a tidal wave
that imperilled the lives of proaienaders upon
the gravelly beach. Another gentleman acci
dentally fell froia a boat and became en tousled
in the sea weed, for a time arousing- ftra of
drowning. He was gallantly rescued and soon
recovered from the effect of his involuntary bath.
The festivities continued nnrH quite a late hour
in the evening.
Owing to the poor accoustic properties of the

to be a rendition of vocal and instrumental music
he allow the piano to be placed on the stage.
Only those who have had experience realize how
difficult it is to sing when on a level with the
audience; when vocalists go to the trouble of pre
paring music they naturally desire to render it in
the best possible manner and if there is any pos
sible assistance that might add to their benefit
it should be granted. In behalf of those who
kindly consent to famish music for public enter
tainments this suggestion is made with the hope
that it will be favorably acted upon.
There was a good attendance at the Presby
terian church Sunday morning to hear the chil
dren's services. Sunday, June 12th, was ob
served among the Presbyterian churches through
out the country as children's day, but on account
of a delay in receiving music and paper, the
schoolln this city was forced to postpone their
services untn last Sunday. The singing, recita
tions, etc, by the little folks was very good and
appreciated by the audience. Bev. Gring also
delivered an address to the children.

CE. Osgood returned from Iowa Sanday
with a three-year-old Cleveland Bay Stallion,
which in the opinion of the hoss editor of this
journal is one of. the finest ever imported into
this county. Mr. Osgood examined a number of

this one. The animal at preseat weighs over
1300. is dark in color, excellently formed, has re
markably fine action, and is free of any blemish
whatever.

SmaU grain and vegetables are not growing as
they should, the trouble being not so much for
the waat of rain bat on account of high winds
and hot weather. Corn has stood the trying or

and the atmospheric indications are favorable for
rain. Thnrsday evening there appeared to be an
extensive rain fall west and south of us, but at
this point it was light. A big general rain is
what is wonted.
A fire broke out it the rear of Bird's barber
shop Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock aad the
few persons who happened to be in the vicinity
had quite a lively time f orlsome ten minutes or
such a matter. The fire was soon subdued,
without causing much damage. It appears to
have originated from the furnace used to heat
water for the bathroom, aad is the second oae
that aas come from that source.

As a atriag wind-up of the day a public ball
wfll be given at the opera house on the

Fred Fischer Killed st hie
Brady Isittd.
On Sunday last Fred Fischer wae foasd
dead in the brush near his house onlkady
Tsfond. He had evidently been murdered
There is considerable mvstery surroaad-
ins: the case. The coroner's jury ia still
in. session, and onlv outside testimony cam
be sutnered.
It appears that on 3Ionday,the 13th,
Fischer -went up to the house of oae Mo
rant, who Eves on the island some sevea,
or eight miles up the river from Fischer's,.
to getsome tools to put aomx a wen. ma
stayed at Xorant's over night, returning'
home Tuesday mornins. benur accom
panied part way by Louie Eeyant, alias
French Louie, "who lives two or three
miles east of ilorant's. He had made ar
rangements to commence drivina a "well-
pipe "Wednesday morning, and John:
Johnson, who was to nelp nim in tne
work, went to Fischers house, ana stayed
until nearly noon, when Fischer not ap
peanne, ne concmaea cnat r iscner naa
gone to loo it alter ni3 nsn. lines, it iscner
was a great fisher). Returning on Thurs
day Fischer was sun aosent, ana naaap
parently not been at the house since
Johnson had left there the dav before. i.
neighbor by the name of Abercombrie,
who lives two miles below, called about
the same time, and some search was made
ior x iscner. o trace couiu oe louna,
and other neighbors were notified The
search was continued Friday and Satur
day without suoaess. On Sunday John
Shuey and Gus Goerkey came over from
the south side of the nver to use ifiscners
branding chute to brand some cattle.
Goerkey had at one time been employed
about the National cemetery, and it was
not long before he detected the unmistak
able smell that em mates from a decaying
corpse. The body was soon found in the
brush some four or five rods from the
corral in an advanced stage of decompo
sition. Information was immediately
telegraphed to this city, and Sheriff Haley,
in th.e absence of Coroner Streitz, accom
panied by Attorney STesbitt, Drs. Donald
son and Longley, and E. B. Warner,
started early .Honday morning for the
scene of the tragedy.
An examination" of the remains re
revealed the fact that the man had
been shot throngh the body, the ball en
tering a little to the right "of the center
just below the heart, passing out by the
side of and tearing away a portion of the
backbone. The back of the skull at the
base of the brain had been smashed with
some blunt instrument. The murder had
apparently taken place near the corral,
and the body dragged by the feet through
the brush to th"e place where it "was
found, the shirt being pulled up around
the neck, and one boot nearly ofiL The
trail could be easily traced through the
brush, but all traces of blood and evi
dences of a struggle had been carefully
removed from objects near the corral, a
bunch of weeds in one place having been
cut and carried away, probably to conceal
blood The dead man's pipe and hat
were missing, and could net be found
It is evident the murder had not been
committed for money. Nothing about
the house was disturbed About five
dollars in money was found in his trunk.
From these circumstances a motive is
hard to find, although certain things have
aroused suspicions, but nothing has yet
developed that will warrant arrest. The
coroner's jury consists of Drs. Longley &
Donaldson, "Wm. Plumner, E. B. Warner,
Joshua Snyder and Abram Brooks. Some
testimony was taken on the spot, but the
jury returned to this city, and was in ses
sion Tuesday afternoon, adjourning until
the 30th ins The jury is determined to
get all the evidence that will possibly
throw any light as to the probable perpe
trator of the crime. .
Frederick: Fischer was a German by
birth, about fifty years of age, and was
one ot the early settlers of this county,
having been about Fort IePherson at an
early day, taking a claim on the island
where he was killed some seventeen
years ago. He was unmarried The
body was buried under a large cotton
wood tree said to be the largest tree on
Brady Island near his house, where
Fred had often expressed a wish to be
buried He has no relatives in this vicin
ity. .
A Fortunate Eargain.
A quartette of young gentlemen one
of them is married, but scarce a twelve

the Benedictine ranks made a fortunate
bargain Wednesday. Learning that the
Xorth Platte Town Lot Company had the
refusal of Block 8 in Hinman's addition
at $1,000 for a certain length of time, they
made the proposition and secured an ac
ceptance that if the company didn't come
to time they would take the block at the
same price. The lot company of course
intended to take the block, but other ne
gotiations lagging, they negligently ne
glected to bind the bargain. "When "they
learned that the time had expired, the
boys didn't let any grass grow under their
feet until they had the biirgain clinched.
It is a very fine property, and three new
houses are expected to" be built thereon
in a short time.

On Sunday last two young" men were
drowned in a lake at St. Joseph, 3Io.
The next day a man and two young ladies
were drowned while boating at Kearney.

efforts of the life saving crews. This re

Butter has become almost a drug not
only in this market but all over. In Den
ver, usually a high marked it is a prime
article that will bring thirteen cents, while
Omaha, St. Joe and other Missouri river
markets are still lower. In our market a
good article has been bringing 25 cents on
contract with families, but the price has
now fallen to about 20 cents. Good
prime butter will keep and always bring a
good price, but unfortunately most of our
people are not fixed for mairfng choice
butter, and have no facilities for keeping
it when made. The consequence is they
are obliged to force their products in the
market when, there 3 the greatest supply,
and the price falls way below remuner
ative returns. At present our merchants
cannot ship, there being no demand and
most of our people being supplied by pri
vate parties, there is very little retail trade.
During the last week there have been sev
eral instances of parties bringing butter
long distances and were obliged to take it
home again. This is unfortunate, but it
is not the fault of our merchants, who
would willingly buy if they could possibly
get it oh! their hands.
