Ogallala is agitating water works. One plan suggested is to sink an artesian well on the bluff overlooking tho town on the north. Several sports and a sleepy old horse from Chase county succeeded in winning considerable boodle from Ogallala citi zens last week. The horse deceived its looks. The Keith County Agricultural Society will hold a fair at Ogallala some time during the coming fall, and a good dis play of stock and agricultural products is expected. ? wtjTuesd ay night was made hideous by the druken brawling of some half dozen of the elite? A "cooler" stands in silent emptyness while the town is dis graced. The school fund is robbed of its just deserts, while peaceable law-abiding citizens pay taxes and hide from tho im moral conduct and stray pistol shots. Curtis Courier. The trial of old man Richards for the murder of young Macfarland at Benkle man, some months since, transpired at Dundy's county seat, last Saturday, before his grim honor, Judge "William Gaslin of Alma, and resulted in a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree and a life sentence. The facts in this sad trag edy the sequel to a quarrel over a dog will be recalled by our readers. The case has been appealed. McCook Tribune. At the 4th of July celebration at Chad ron there was about 1,200 Indians under Red Cloud present. The Democrat of that city prints the speech made by that chief there, and from the first to the last word we find this production one con tinual whine about how the government had treated his people. It is one con tinual complaint about something they have been promised and have not re ceived. This speech will probably be reproduced for eastern readers and they will call the rot eloquence and the effu sions of patriotism. Ex. A piece of comsummato cheek is re ported from Big Springs. A gentleman living a few miles from that place came into that village Tuesday afternoon and told of how some cheeky rascal came to his place the day before, and in broad day light, and while his hired men were at work in a field near by, entered the house, exchanged his old rags for a fine black suit that was in the house. He was followed by a hired man, but proved himself to be the best runner and the chase was given up. Ogallala ITcics. Callaway was so very quiet and orderly on the 4th that the constable who was on the ground for the purpose of keeping order, became so disgusted with the monotony of the thing that lie filled up with bad 'whiskey and walked into the crowd and arrested the first man he could lay his hands on. The arrested party objected to going -to the jug merely to amuse the constaole and protested so loudly against it that a volunteer citizen's committee proceeded to sit down on the oyer zealous official so hard, that he was glad to find a quiet place where he could sleep off the effects of his inspiration. Broken Bow Statesman. The Dec had an interview with an ob serving gentleman, an old newspaper man who has traveled over much of Nebraska within the past month. His taste for news is still such that little of interest escapes him At McCook he met some of the gentry who have followed gamb ling for years in Nebraska. They are very much discouraged at the prospect They now admit that the new law has to much danger in it, and that they cannot afford to take the chances of a term in the pen for all that could be made out of running a faro bank. A more salubrious climate will be sought out and an exodus at once commenced. Omaha Dec. In a Polish settlement near Columbus, the Priest had come to solemnize a mar riage ceremony. Within an hour after he had left, and while the guest were making merry and drinking luck to the happy pair, the bride gave birth to a bouncing boy. The groom with his cup of bliss running over, proposed that the priest bo recalled and the child be christened then and there. 'Twas done, and the priest retired but ere another had passed the heart of the little stranger ceased to beat. The groom again pro posed the priest be called and fhe burial proceeded with. Again the good priest made his appearance and led the proces sion to the grave. After the burial the guests returned to the wedding feast and spent the evening in mirth and dancing the bride and groom taking conspicuous part, and not in the least disturbed by the strange vicissitudes of the da-.

About half past four o'clock yesterday afternoon just before the heavy rain storm, lightning struck the south-east corner of the new school house damaging the wall somewhat. About a dozen stone masons and stone cutters who had quit work on account of the rain were stand ing about tho building. The bolt of lightning struck a group of fiYO of these men. Geo. Ilafen, a stone mason, who owns land near Lodge Pole was instantly killed. Thos. Walsh, one of the contractors and foreman of the mason work, was so seri ously hurt that at a late hour last evening it was feared he would not recover. Patrick Brennan, a stone-cutter, was knocked down and in the fall cut a gash over his left eye. Robert Thomas and Jas. Robinson were both knocked down. The lightning in passing Thomas' body burned and stiff ened one of his little fingers. The body of Geo. Ilafen was taken in charge of by Coroner Cotter who will determine to-day what disposition to make of it. At 2:30 o'clock this morning Tom "Walsh was conscious and could converse. His recovery is certain. Sidney Tele graph. " " " Killed by a Rattlesnake. Another sad story comes from Custer county, of tho death of a young lady from the effects of tho bite of a rattle snake. The following particulars were given us by Mr. O. T. Lewis, a citizen of Callaway, who arrived in tho city yester day. The deceased, Miss Belle Jacks, about nineteen years of age, resided with her father on his farm about four miles southwest of Callaway, on Sand Creek. On "Wednesday morning last she went to the barn after a basket of cobs for fuel. "While returning being barefooted, she stepped upon the snake, which was in the beaten path leading from the house to tho barn, and the reptile immediately sunk its deadly fangs into one of her ankles. All remedies at hand were im mediately applied and a messenger dis pacthed at once for Callaway for medical assistance, who soon returned with Dr. A. L. Mathews, but notwithstanding every effort made and all available antidotes used, the young lady expired in the afternoon. Plum Creek Pioneer. Accidental Shooting:. Last "Wednesday afternoon Charles Ham ilton who in company with his brother and two other boys went swimming at thp lake, was endeavoring to replace the cylinder short revolver, when it was discharged. The ball entered his face just above the left e3'e, forming a painful and dangerous wound. The at tention of a companion, Elmer Lewis, was attracted by the report of the weapon, and the only one of the boys who saw the lad fall. lie uttered no out-cry, but lay as if dead. Aid was soon summoned, and the boy was conveyed to his father's hotel, the Hamilton house. Dr. "Waite was called who made an examination of the wound and probed for the bullet, but without being Fuccessful in locating it Dr. Kay of McCook, was called, who with Dr. "Waite, held a consultation yesterday evening. "What were the results of the consultation, our reporter did not obtain in time for this issue. The attending physician does not necessarily consider the wound a dangerous one, though the injury to the lower part of the brain may be greater than has yet been discovered. Curtis Courier. John "Willard Young, the youngest son of the late Brigliam Young's first wife, is about forty -three j'ears of age and has ten sons and ten daughters. He says his father left an estate worth $2,500,000, or about $22,000 to each of his children. Gov. Hughes of Arkansas gets two suits of clothes a year regularly from Georgia, the material being wovon and his clothes being made up in that state. He has just receiyed his summer outfit from the Goober state. It is made of checked cottonade. A girl emploj'ed in a corset shop in New Haven leaned over a four foot rail at the elevator door some days ago, when the elevator came down and pinned her by the neck to the gate. The elevator is very nicely balanced, and stopped with out cutting her head off, but held her fast Then for some reason it could not be started up, and men tore the gate away to get the girl out. She was unconscious but soon recovered unharmed. The Chief of Police of Buffalo says that nineteen-twentieths of the criminals of the land are drinking men, and that eighteen-twentieths of the crimes com mitted are planned in saloons. That is no doubt, true, but it should be remem berred that the only saloons which crim inals dare to enter are low dens most of which would be closed up if the laws were enforced while the others would never be licensed if respectable citizens were allowed any voice in the matter. The biggest piece of artillery ever made by Krupp is a forty centimeter gun just finished at Essen. The effect of a shot from this gun is said to be the most destructive known. The shot easily pierces the most strongly armored iron clad at a close distance It also passes clean through an armor plate of ninety seven centimeters thickness at a distance 3,000 feet. Another of Krupp's latest productions a quick firing gun on the pivot system is also very highly spoken of its performances being such that no torpedo boat conld possibly withstand it or escape.

It is claimed by the Henry George people that they have 75,009 voters en rolled in New York City. .This does not signify that they can elect a President, but it does imply that they probably have it in their power to put several worms in the lettuce of Grover Cleveland, should he be a candidate for a second term. And now it is claimed that Mrs; Cleve land possesses exceptionally strong wrists and is consequently able to endure the prolonged handshaking of public recep tions without fatigue. Her strength of muscle is attributed to her persistent use of dumb-bells. She is said to be quite a gymnast and owes much of her graceful carriage to the thorough command of her body given by calisthenic exercises.

A Texas judge by tho name of Cook don't seem to like Kansas people. Ho says "they go to the hotbed of New England for their isms, to John Brown for their religion, bind the Bible and a Sharp's rifle in the same volume, and will go to hell for their meanness." But there is hope for Texas yet. The schoolmaster is abroad in Texas, the state is aroused to the subject of temperance, and when tho State has educated, sober judges, they will not be heard uttering such calumnies. Mr. J. J. Fred Bandinel, United States vice consul at Newchwang, China, sends to the state department a harrowing ac count of a trip made by himself through the Hooded districts of China. He was distributing food and necessaries of life to the starved people, and during the trip relieved 396 persons. He says he found the people generally living on bran or the chaff of a large grass grown for feeding cattle. Some were reduced to eating chopped grass, either moistened in hot water or baked in cakes, while others feed on the leaves and seeds of weeds gathered in the fields. An interesting phenomenon has for some time past been observed on the eastern coast of the Caspian sea. The Kara Bobbaa is an estuary nearly separ ated from the main body of the sea by a - , bank through which there is an inlet. The evaporation from this gulf is so great that a current continually sets in from the Caspian and as there is no re turn current, the water of the gulf be. comes more and more saliferous, and a deposit of salt is in course of formation The natural result of this would appear to bo that in time this gulf would be cut off from the Caspian, and being thus dried up will become an extensive salt bed. The people of Iceland who have suff ered greatly of late years from failure of crops, and in large areas from active volcanoes, which have buried tho country beneath scoria and ashes, are by a tele gram this morning reported to be in starving condition, many having already died from want of food. During tho last five years thousands of families have left Iceland to seek new homes. Many of these have located in North Dakota or across the border in Manitoba. They are an intelligent, peace-loving, law-abiding, hard working people, and make good citizens. They bring considerable stock with them and are mostly successful farmers. The present population of Ice land is about 75,000, but it has been stea dily decreasing, mainly by emigration during the past ten years. There arc some very interesting con tributions to ancient history being made bv the Pacific railway commission. While relating the history of the struggle for the location of the eastern terminus of the Pacific railroad before the com mission at Kansas City, Judge Usher, who was in Lincoln's cabinet at the time, said: "The advantages of Sioux City, Kansas City and Omaha were vigorously advo cated, but Omaha was finally selected as the terminus of the main road, the other cities being reached by branches, which were designed to connect with the main line at the 100th meridian. When the advantages of Omaha were first presented to President Lincoln he remarked: 'Why, I've got a quarter section of land near there, and if I locate the terminus at that point people will say I am person ally interested in the matter.' The fear of this, continued Mr. Usher, did not prevent Lincoln from deciding finally in favor of Omaha." But in due time Lincoln was overruled and the terminus ' was re-located by Sidney Dillon's nephew who was then United States circuit judge and is now tho general consulting attor ney of the Union Pacific. A Russian Pacific railroad is contem plated, and five years are necessary to build the line. When finished the world can be traversed in fifty-three days Salt Rheum or Eezema.
