Death of Mrs. C. H. Babcock.
Citizens of Sidney will remember Mrs.
Babcock, the wife of the Episcopalian
minister who preceded Mr. McCarty in
charge of Christ Mission church. This
estimable lady died on the 8th inst, at St.
Mary's Rectory, Mitchell, Dakota. The
Telegraph is not informed of the Imme
diate cause of Mrs. Babcock's death. She
had been in a feeble condition for many
months and her death was probably the
result of a general breaking down of her
constitution. Sidney Telegraph.

The Northwestern railroad in making
demonstrations from Sioux City in the
direction of North Platte, which is very
encouraging to the interests of Broken
Bow. Surveyors are already on the route.
Our citizens were asked this week to
subscribe $2,500 towards completing these
sdrveys, the sum not to be paid until the
road shall have been completed to Broken

Bound to Win.
That portion of the Hew west, beyond
even many residents as worthless, Is com
ing to the front to win: The Nebraska
state board of agriculture recognizes this
fact, and offers this year liberal premiums
for produbts from that section. Now, let
those more directly interested see to it
that western Nebraska comes to the fair
this coming fall with her best foot fore
most. One hundred dollars cash is hung
up forthe best genef al collection. Twenty
five dollars for the best collection of corn,
and fifteen dollars each for the best acre
of timothy, blue grass and clover.
Rapidly Filling Up.
The papers of western Nebraska are
full of those items which indicate the
rapid filling up of that section with
people. About the only place left on
the footstool where a man can get a flee
home, is in western Nebraska. And ho is
a lucky man who goes out and gets it
while there is a chance. Nebraska is
becoming every day stronger in popula
tion and when her producers are allowed
a fair show with the rest of the world
she will ba the richest spot on the globe.
In this respect Lincoln county will rank
second to none in the state, and ere long
will become one of the principal commer
cial points of this domain.

She Gets There.
A comical writer, visiting the Nebraska
state fair at Lincoln last year, wrote to his
home paper:
And this is Nebraska, who a little while
ago sat upon her hunkers and viewed the
world. But the world knew her not. She
gazed at the great train of progress as it
rumbled heedlessly by. The thought
stabbed her, and like a flash she seized
the rear, rail of the hindmost car, which
swung her off with the throng.- But she
was not satisfied. She slid along through
every coach, past baggage, express and
and all, and, seating herself on the cow
catcher, she planted her banner there. It
bore these striking words: "Ad astra
Slashed and Gashed.
Last Tuesday evening on section 24-11-41
occurred one of the worst cutting
affairs that ever happened In Perkins
county. Three men arrived from Illinois,
a couple weeks ago and managed to, get
considerable benzine on board, after
which they got into an altercation and
gave each other their pedigree. A large
man whose name we did not learn cut

ensued and another man got a terrible

of the day. Some of the cuts were
indeed severe. We understand no arrests
will be made as one is about as deep in
the mud as the other is in the mire. The
people of 11-41 feel considerably cha
grined over the matter, as it is the first
quarrel that has ever taken place in that
township. Grant Sentinel.
It Went Off.
Sunday evening Omer Smith, a boy
11 years old, living some twelve miles
below here, near Chimney Rock, tried to
set off a cartridge with an ax and nail so
as to blow a hole in a log. The plan
worked better than he thought. When
tho explosion took place the hand whjch
held the shell got torn in a terrible manner
a piece of shell hit the right eye, burst
the eyeball and mangled the face fright
fully. He was brought to Dr. Arbuckle
Monday morning. A piece of brass shell
was imbedded in the muscles of the hand.
After this had been removed the boy
seemed to suffer less pain. Nothing
could be done for the eye. He was taken
home the same afternoon. Only a few
days before this another of Mr. Smith's
small boys was chopping wood before the
door a brother still smaller ran in front of
the juvenile axman and had his head
split open. The little fellow is in a fair
way to recover, yet the call was close as
the skull was splintered. 3Iinatare

Youthful Cowboys.
The shooting of Willie Kelsey, aged 10,
on Saturday by Merle Predo, a companion
Of about the same age, should be an im
pressive lesson to parents who permit
children to handle fire arms. The boys
had been out hunting together with
double barrel shot gun. Having tired of.
the sport they varied it by playing at
arresting cowboys. Willie took the part
of an outlaw, while young Predo with the
gun played the part of the sheriff of
Custer county and as Willie ran he cried
' throw up your hands or I will shoot."

Hi! HA! THE BEST OF ALL!
It did not take five years to discover that the
Jewel Gr a so line Stove
was the only safe gasoline stove made, but in 1887, the first year it was
introduced in North Platte, FORTY-SIX were sold, more than was sold
of all others combined. We have them with either drop tank or the
pneumatic, and in the language of the poet, "n pump to get out of or
der or gas forced through the room," but can prove that less gas escapes
from it than any stove made and can show it has many points of supe
riority over all others and prove to you that the Jewel is
T3n.e : Best : Stove : Ead.e.
They are all guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction and will consume
less gasoline than any stove in the market. Call and examine the late
improved Jewel and be convinced and-you will buy no other.

An old crow basked in the wintry sun- .

outside the "barnyard fence. With blink
ing eyes he watched the farmer's dog at
his dinner of bones, and waited for a
chance to steal some of the remains. The
dog raised his eyes. "Be off 1" he cried.
"What do you want in the neighborhood
of good and respectable birds ? You are
a vagrant and good for nothing." "I may
not be very good," calmly Replied the
crow, "but I have managed to reach a
prosperous old age, which is more than
can be said of the unfortunate and worthy
turkey whose bones you have just devour
ed. The truly good die young. A little
worldly wisdom doesn't hurt us in the
race of life." And hastily snatching up a
bone he vanished in the frosty air. This
fable is not for the young. Life.
The London Times seems to share
Queen Victoria's admiration for the Bat
tenbergs. Of Prince Alexander it says:
"He is one of the most brave, most gentle,
most valorous, and most handsome of liv
ing princes. In all the idyls of poetry
there has not indeed been a more perfect
hero than Prince Alexander. The whole
story of his campaign against the Servians
sounds like an epic. He started with an
inferior force . By his pluck, his energy,
and his extraordinary talent as a strate
gist, he turned all the odds that were
against him, and came out victorious from
a campaign in which everybody prophe
sied his failure."
' "Ttre story goesthatone of the Harvard
professors, while walking near Boston,
happened to hear a gang of repairers on
the railroad jabbering Latin. He there
upon began to jabber with them, and
found them to be a party of Polanders,
graduates of the university of Warsaw,
who had fled from prospective arrest by
Russian authorities. Of course our Har
vard man was deeply interested, enjoyed
a good long conversation in Latin, while
the picks stood idle then toasted them all ::
in the language of Cicero.
The house of representatives of the
Fiftieth congress has had presented to
that body 9,700 bills. It has been in ses- .
sion one hundred and thirty days, and
just that number of its bills have become
laws. One and one-third per cent of the
bills presented have been passed, and one
hundred of these are private bills for the
benefit of individuals. What do the peor
pie of the country think of these demol
cratic legislators? Washington National
Republican.
The Omaha Bee is unhappy because
Congressman Dorsey refuses to play into
the hands of the free traders by voting for
the Mills tariff bill. 3Ir. Dorsey, like
many other republicans, belipves in a
proper revision of the tariff and reduction
of the revenue , but he at the same time
believes in protecting American industries
and refuses to support the policy of our
free trade president and his allies. Ex.
United States Minister Phelps says that
he has not come home to bo made Chief
Justice; that the place has not been offer
ed him, and he intends to return to Lon
don in June. Mr. Phelps likes the Court
of St. James, and would be thoroughly
satisfied if he could call himself Ambas
sador, and not have to try to convert the
United States into the tail of all England's
little royal possessions. He. is right; the
United States should have a place up
nearer the head. Ex.
Just before Nelson died aboard the
Victory after making match wood of the
allied French and Spanish ships, he
thought of his little daughter Horatia, and
solemnly bequeathed her to the nation.
The Rev. Horatia Nelson Ward, son of
little Horatia, has just died, and his death
has revived the controversy respecting
Horatia's mother. It is now said, appar
ently upon good authority, that Horatia
was not the child of Lady Hamilton. Her
mother, it is seriously added, was too
great to be even mentioned. Nelson's de
scendants now living are confident they
have royal blood in their veins, but of
what nationality the family archives say ;
nothing. London Letter.
Stephen B. Elkins, ex-Senator Harry
