The mountain lion is again in this vicinity. lie has visited Frank Lilly's farm, three miles east of town at two different times, the first was Monday night when he got. one of his largest porkers, the second time was Tuesday night, anu this time he got a nice colt. This is getting most two familiar and he should have something done with him. Gaudy Pioneer. P. L. Harper returned from Chadron via Omaha Tuesds'.

Ulrik Blissikumer, living about seven miles north of town, started for Curtis Wcdnesda' morning and was thrown from his wagon and severely injured The accident occurred through the falling of the wagon tongue, which frightened the horses, and they began' to run. The young man who was with Mr. Blssikumer jumped from the wagon and allowed the horses their liberty. Mr. Blissikuraer was thrown from the wagon, striking heavily on his head and shoulders. He was picked up and taken to the home of Charles Snyder, aud a doctor sent for. He appears to be injured internally about the chest and at last accounts was unable to speak. Curtis Record. J. L. White, oue of Curtis' lawyers, while at Stockville last Tuesday, on legal business, met with a severe and painful accident. A friend of Mr. Whites's had a revolver in au overcoat pocket, and was talking to the attorney. By onie means the revolver was discharged. The ball entered Mr. White's foot on the instep, passing downward aud backward. On arriving home' Dr. B. M . Howland was called aud dressed the wounded member. The result of his examination and probing for the bullet disclosed the fact that the ball had certaiuly lodged in the ankle joint, where it still remains. While the wound is a severe one, it will be success fully healed by the treatment of the attending physician.

Edward Everett Unlo says that George' Washington wrote poetry when a young man, and adds : "All of us have written bad verses, but probably none so bad as the-so " New York building enterprise r.ppears to have some advantages over the high-water mark circulation of some of its papers. Last year's building additions amounted to $67,000,000. The mills of Lowell, Mass., use nearly 90.000,000 worth of cotton annually, and send out more than 100,000,000 worth of cotton goods. Old "Anty Jane" Collins, a colored woman who died in Nashille, Tenn., last week at the age of 104 years, was thought to be the oldest person in the state, and was at one time a servent for General Jackson. The first savings bank established in the United States was the Philidelphia Saving Fund Societ', organized in 1816. The second was established in Boston in 1810, and the third in New York in 1819. The first cotton, consisting of eight bales, sent from the United States to Eng land in 1784, was seized by the custom house officials on the ground that the United States could not have produced so much. As an evidence of the progress made by the negroes since the war, it is shown by late statistics that in three states Georgia, South California and Louisiana they pay taxes on $48,000,000 worth, of property. Lord Tennyson receives au iucome of from $20,000 to 25,000 a year from the sale of his books, but not a cent comes from an American publisher, despite the fact that hii poetry, is nearly as popular here as in England. Notwithstanding the tariff on wool and I woolens, a workingman can buy a suit of ! clothes cheaper than ever before. By reason of the tariff, also, the workingman's wages arc greater than ever before. The tariff works both ways in the interest of labor. A cablegram from Borne says that the Pope's successor is already being consid ered, and that there is a strong party in the Bomsn Church in favor of selecting the next Pop" from some other city than Rome aud some other country than Italy. Bichard "Woodman aud his wife ar6 about to be released from the State Insane Asylum, at Concord, Conn after thirteen years' confinement. An investigation shows that they are not insane, and never were, but were stubborn about paying over a bill that had already been paid. The visit of Lord Randolph, of Eng land, to Russia has brought about :i much better understanding between the two nations. The semi-official organ of Russia, argues that British statesmen must admit that England during the last thirty years has lost more by hostility to Russia than she has gained by friendship with other powers. It is proposed to erect a prison for the confinement, and, if possible, the reforma tion of criminals convicted under tbe laws of the United States. At present such convicts are confiued in states prisons, the national government paying a certain amount for the care of them. A. monument to the memory of Horace Greeley is now talked of in New Yorlc city. If it takes the New Yorkers as long to raise the funds for the proposed monument as it will for the Grant monu ment Greeley's name will have passed into tradition long before the monument is completed. Col. George S. Perkins of Norwich, Conn., is Ne. w Engldol remarkable centenarian. He was lOif yearsVoW in August, and is still treasurer of the Norwich & Worcester railroad and per forms all the duties pertaining to the office. His wife who is ninty years of age, is also an active and well preserved old lady. Col. Perkins was on Robert Fulton's steamboat on its trial trip on the Hudson in August, 1807. 3Iiss Mollie Bergen, a lass of sixteen summers whose parents live on Pool's Slough, Yaquina, Ore., saw a deer dash by the house and jump into the slough tbe other day, whereupon she procured her father's "Winchester and shot the animal dead. She then unmoored a boat tied to the bank, rowed out to where the buck lay floating in the water, pulled the carcass into the boat and brought it ashore before any of the men folks arrived. The deer weighed 200 pounds. A colored woman and a white man met on the street at Beaufort, S. C, the other day, and the path through the mud would only permit of one passing at a time. Neither would waive the right to the first place, and they both remained in the street all day, sending for chairs and their meals, while their friends gathered about to watch the "sitting match." When the old lady sent for her knitting the white man concluded he did not want to go that way, and turned back. An Omaha lawyer was the victim of a huge jokn which came out in all its un inviting proportions Christmas. An old time friend of his from Kentucky shipped him some '65 whisky. He received the package by express, apparently in gotxi shape, and invited his friends to have a merry-making Christmas eye. Imagine his chagrin when he opened the package and fotBd" that theIarge bottles werej- empty Blt is presumed that the package was shipped by the circuitous route of Kansas, where the express messengers get extremely dry at times. Murderers are becoming so polite that it seems a pity to hang them. A gentle man was executed in California the other day, whose friends had appealed to Waterman for clemency for him in vain, and he took occasion while on the scaffold to compliment the able executive for his firmness and hoped that he never would loose his grip. The governer has refused elemene' to six murderers during the past four weeks, and so long as he remains in office California executioners will doubt less enjoy a boom . One day this week, had .you been in a certain part of the city the same time we were, you might havo seen a foreign lady, a Bohemian, stuffing the upper story of her house with hay. Some people like to smoke dynamite bombs, some like to sit on a keg of powder and calculate how long it will take a fuse to burn up to the bung hole, others like to experiment with an engine without any water to speak of in the. boiler, still others take pleasure in fooling with unloaded guns. But we must confess that for real exciting fun, sleeping in a house jammed" full of hay with a hot stovepipe running through it, takes first money every time. Crete Globe. Twenty years ago Judge Brinson of Burke county, then a young man, was a student of the Lebanon law school in Tennesee. While there he became enamored of Miss Harn, the daughter of a wealthy farmer in Franklin. He asked the girl's parents for their consent, but they objected on the ground that he was a Baptist, they being strong Methodists. The match was broken off, Brinson returned home, entered the practice of law, and soon rose to the bench. He never referred to the Franklin incident, and it was supposed to have been for gotten. Some weeks ago a visitor to Waynesboro mentioned the name of the lady in the hearing of Judge Brinson, who then found out that she had never been married. He at once closed up his affairs so he could take a trip, sought out the lady, and the nuptials of twenty years waiting were celebrated. John Wanamaker is trying what A. T. Stewait benevolently tried to accomplish and failed. Mr. Stewart as will be re membered, built a magni Scant hotel on Park avenue as a cheap boarding house for women. It was not a cheap $8 board ing house. Nothing but a tremendous eudowment could have made it so. The imposing structure is now a good hotel at good hotel prices, but the working woman boardeth. not therein. Mr. Wana maker proposes tojnake a home for his female employes. He has accordingly converted into the Hotel Walton one of the finest brown-stone residences in Philadelphia, a residence upon which its former owner spent $150,000. About fifty women have already applied for rooms. Anything that will sweeten the lives of some of our toiling women should prosper. A . t). IfCCKWOSTM, i " JAS.' MHofNorthPiatte, NORTH PLATTE, MM.

A correspondent writing from Albany to the New York Press says: I like the idea of nominating Sheridan for President. He is a new man, a good man,. a hero and a winner. This is the kind of a candidate we need to bring all our old Republicans together again. If we take a new man like Sheridan, one who is great in his claims upon the gratitude of the country, and who is equal to the high duties of the Presidency, we can win. It is a risky business to keep on running a beaten horse, and with Democrats in power we need to have our eyes open, or we shall be a bad last again in the Presidential race for 1888. With a real hero like Sheridan, we can sweep the field and beat free trade like fun. I'm for Sheridan, and so are the "boys in blue ;" and so are a great multitude who wish to see a man nominated who can win the victory for us. It is not pleasant to work up enthusiasm to a "paint the town red" heat, and then have the darkness of defeat settle down over us! No give us Sheridan and we will elect bim President in November. Hcdsox, Wis., Dec, 26. A valuable bird dog belonging to "Jup" Jones, of this r i t i j. .

He then went to secure help, leaving the end rope with the noose on in the bottom t ti r i to find that the dog had raised the noose up with his nose and placed his head and front paws in it. He was immediately lifted to the surface. The dog is in a pitiable condition, being but a mere shadow. The animal had been in the well about ten days without food. Milwaukee Wisconsin. If the republican issues of the present are less emotional and enkindling than those of an earlier day there is certainly nothing in the democratic party which makes it alluring to young men. It is burbonized in its traditions and fossilized in its management, and although for brief periods, and "revenue only," it has made . pretentions to. reform, it has speedily gone back to its "wallowing," with an intensity of satisfaction which suggests that as its natural condition. The repub lican party, on the other hand, stands for certain great principles which may well command the loyalty of young men. It holds to a genuine reform of the civil service. It stands for a treatment of the tariff along the lines of protection to American manufacturers and American labor. It insists upon a fair ballot and an honest count, north and south. It an tagonizes the dominance of the saloon power and offers the most effective politi cal agency for restraining it. Upon these and other issues it appeals confidentially to young men who, as they come of age aud consider what party associations they shall form, will naturally be drawn toward the party which stands for the right side of current issues. The Queen Seriously 111. This does not refer to the Queen of England, but to the queen of a household at Lincoln. Neb., where she roles by common consent. "In March last, when six months old. our baby was taken down with what the physicians called "bron chitis" (on ordinary cold) and was very sick for two weeks; she seemed to be filled deep in the chest with phlegm which we were unable to loos en; she could not lie down at all, bat had to be held upright else it caused her to cough severely; the physician did not give her any relief, although the prescriptions were changed every day and sometimes twice a day; this treatment was con tinued about ten days and we finally determined to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Wo obtained a bottle and after giving a few doses she was relieved, breathing easier and throwing oS the phlegm and getting to sleep, getting- well in a few days, and we believe we owe her life to the nse of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Oar oldest girl is subject to croup and has bad several severe attacks but the Cough Remedy has brought her out all right with bat two good doses and we would not go over night withoat a bottle in the house. We have great faith in it." Sigaed. Wil bur E. Wells, Lolie L. Wella, 1631 G stxeet, Lin coln, Nebraska. Sold by C. W. Price and F. H. Longley. TV vvx trifle with, any Throat or AJ v Lung Disease.
