Jack Stewart, a farmer living near Fairmont, fell out of his wagon and died in less than twenty minutes of heart disease. Four prisoners in the Seward jail cut the lock off the door and made way for liberty. Two of them were recaptured at Utica.

The Fairmont creamery employs' thirty one merfand twenty six teams to gather in the cream from which 1,800 pounds of butter is made daily, which sells readily ia New York market. Last week one car load sold for one half cent more per pound than top Elgin prices. This creamery will pay out this year to their patrons $60,000. The farmers are taking a great deal of interest in dairy matters by improving their herds and by taking better care of the milk and cream, and by so doing find that it pays better than farming. Tuesday morning a special train from the west, consisting of two cars loaded with silk, came dashing through the Cur tis yards and ran into an engine, which was standing on the main track, breaking the cow-catcher and pilot and derailing the front trucks of the engine of the special. The tender of the other engine was slightly damaged, the track was wrenched out of shape so as to cause a delay of the passenger train, which then arrived, of about half an hour. The damaged engine was taken to McCook for repairs. Curtis Courier. Of recent years the cattlemen of Dako ta. Burt and Wayne counties, Nebraska, have been pasturing their cattle on the Winaebago reservation. The Winneba- gos were paid for their pasturage, and so the- arrangement was good for them . Likewise it was good for the cattlemen and the cattle. Now come government troops to expel the cattlemen and their steers. It is, in the government's opinion, necessary for the dignity of the nation and the civilization of the Indians, that this reservation grass be mowed by a prarie fire rather than bitten oil by beeves. t SlscevL33.t &ooa 2Tots, Acco tints solicited and prompt attentioa gives to all business entrusted to its care. Interest paid on time deposits. Made at the Very Lowest Bates of Interest. Set Sail for Argentine Republic. Harry Doane, a tinner who was in the employ of C. H. Miller during the winter and spring, having tired of Nebraska con ceived the idea of leaving the country in a novel way, which, if successful, will ex plode the idea of navigation on the Platte river. 10 buiit a nat boat ot sneet iron with dimensions of sir feet by thirty feet, the craft only drawing about six inches of water when loaded with his family, cook ing utensils and bedding. The boat will be propelled by sails. On Mondsy morn ing the "merry party bade their friends a lasting farewell, pulled in their anchor, hoisted sails and the long bridge across the Platte bejran to fade awav on the vast of watershen he ran up high and dry on a sand bar about twenty-five rods from the place of starting. Not discouraged at this, the sturdy captain plunged into the stream and tried to push aside when the sand began boiling all around forming a small island with the boat as a nucleus. On Tuesday afternoon they had not suc ceeded in getting away. Mr. Doane is confident that if he can reach Columbus his difficulties will be at an end. He is resolute and- will not give up his scheme without learning that it is an impossibil to navigate the Platte. Argentine Re public, S. A., is the country they have in view, ana they expect to travel there in their little craft. The undertaking seems almost as foolhardy as the first trip made by Columbus, but may be successful. What next "i Kearney New Era. John L. Carson, one of the oldest bank ers of Auburn, Neb., and widely, known throughout the west, has long been a suf ferer from gravel and some nine months ago went east where he had a surgical operation performed and five gravel re moved from the bladder. This caused a kind of blood poisoning to settle in the big toe on the right foot, making amputa tion of that member a necessity. Even this did not stay the disease and a second amputation was made, the last one being about half way below the knee. These three amputations, being make in quick succession, proved almost too mucn for him, and for a long time he was very low. but has now recovered so far that he can ride out in his carriage. Barring a bad storm or an unusually severe wind, the small grain crop in Per kins county is made. The bountiful rains of April aHd May produced a very heavy growth of grain, furnishing suffi cient moisture to bring it to head. Tues day's soaking rain gives moisture enough to form the grain and ripen it. The amount of grain sown in Perkins county this year is enormous, fully double the amount put out last year. If the yield is good, and there is every prospect thalit will be very heavy, there will be a great excess of grain in Perkins county. It will be a different experience to ship out instead of ship in. In the event of the success of the now reasonably assured crop, Perkins county will offer an excel lent field for a flour mill. Grant Enter- prise. The people of the east are cordially in vited to come out and take a look at this famine stricken country, whero drouth goes its solemn round like a gaunt spectre from the nether world. They are requested to come and look at the brazen sun shining from a copper sky, while the corn wilts, withers and dies, where the earth is parched and dry, and Attempted Suicide. On Friday evening of last week, Jessie Sawyer who lives in the vicinity of the Fair grounds, accompanied Miss Inez Colwell ro a sociable given at the resi dence of D. N. Wells in the north eastern part of th6 city. In the course of the evening, young Sawyer became jealous of his lady's attentions to other young men in the party, and went out to the stable where he tried to end his earthly sorrows bv drawing a razor across his throat. The blade almost cut off the trachea and bare ly missed the parotid arteries and jugular vein. When found a few minutes later. he was struggling in the dirt, unable to speak. Surgical aid was brought and the wound dressed. In answer to queries, he wrote that he did the deed with his brother's razor which he brought with him, and that he meant to kill himself with it. The injury is healing fast and bids fair his recovery. Sawyer is a young man past twenty-one years of age, was of gentlemanly habits and had a large circle of friends. His strange procedure can not be accounted for. Kearney New Era. Grant's Farm Sold. St. Louis Republic, June 22: The real estate sensation of yesterday culminated at high noon yesterday when Captain Luther H. Conn, the Granite Mountain millionaire and gallant ex-Confederate, became possessor of the celebrated Grant farm of 750 acres, which president Grant mortgaged to Wm. H. Vanderbiit in 1884 to partially extricate the firm of Grant & Ward from the results of Ward's rascality. The farm lies just twelve miles west of the court house on the Gravois road. The consideration was about $60,000, and this transaction causes the historic Dent homestead tract to change hands for the first time in half a century. The finar papers will be signed to-day. Captain Luther H. Conn, the purchas er, is a Kentuckian, and has a Confeder ate record as one of the bravest snd most daring men in Morgan's command, and, like all Southerners, appreciates the sen timental and the romantic, as well as pos sessing the Kentucky weakness for fine horses. Since the war he has been en gaged in the real estate business, and re cently became a double millionaire through successful mining ventures, and now the old Kentucky blood is reassert ing itself and he has purchased this well adapted Dent homestead to indulge his fancy, and proposes to establish a stock farm. He has already christened his newly acquired relic "Grantwood," so that it can never lose its identity -as the home of the silent commander.
