The sorghum factory at Hast ings, which commenced operations, this week, will manufacture 150,000 gallons of the extractod sweetness. I. I. Yoey, of Harrisburg, was riding his horse to water, when the clumsy brute stumbled and let the. rider off over his head. A broken collar bone was the limit of injury. A farmer near Wakefield brought fiye onions to town that weighed just a pound apiece.. A state that can grow such onions is bound to forge ahead under any financial system. A Mrs. Hartman and six child ren, the oldest of which is seven years, arrived at Bigsprings Tues day night penuiless and almost nude. The mother is demented. The county authorities will look after the outfit. They claim Clar- inda, Iowa, as their home. Two monster grey wolves made such havoc among live stock near Deminjr that cattlemen offered a re ward of $40 lor the" : scalp of either. A hunting party succeeded in capturing the three cubs, but the old animals are still at large. Forty head of young cattle have been slain by the ferocious brutes.

He under estimated the size of the conflagra tion and all his household belong ings disappeared with the fleas." The men whq have grown beets in the last twoyears are thoroughly settled in the belief that the sugar industry will enrich Nebraska far beyond the dreams of its most en thusiastic pioneers. It has been demonstrated beyond questionthat the beets will withstand all the ex tremes of weather to which this climate is subject and yield in the worst seasons more money than the ordinary crops in the best years. If Blaine were sitting- in the chair of Secretary of state, China would be reading- a document on the out rages on American missionaries which would smell of powder.

The Nebraska weather-crop re port, for the week ending Tuesday last, says: The rainfall over the eastern half of the state has been copious except in very limited local ities and in some places excessive. Over the western half of the state for the most part it has been light. Corn generally nas made good pro gress aud the early corn is matur ing m the eastern oart of the state, and a considerable portion of it is bevond danger of injury by frost. Owing to wet weather the late corn has continued to grow and to im prove in condition, but some of it is very late and will require consider able time yet to mature. The co pious rains of the past two weeks have improved the condition of pastures and meadows. But the wet weather has delayed haying and threshing, and in some cases damaged small grain in the shock. Plowing and seeding continue gen eral and the ground is in unusually good condition to be worked in the greater portion of the state. Some valuable discoveries are made by accident. Burglars entered the office ot a chemical establish ment in Elizabeth, N. J., the other night and blew open the safe. Then they got out of the building as soon as their feet would carry them, carrying off one of their number in an insensible condition. Stored in the safe were sundry bottles of deadly stuff, the fumes of which are est man in about a minute. The explosion broke some of the bottles and consequently the thieves hadn't time to carry away some very rich swag, which was plainly in sight. --Journal. On Sept. 24 to 26 the convention of the Irishmen, who want to pro mote Ireland's liberty by force, will be held at Chicago. In New York a secret meeting of a committee of arrangements has been held, in which letters were read from eighty five nationalist clubs and trom men favoring the move and promising support. It is expected that the convention will create great en thusiasm. Delegates will come even irom Australia, Argentine and other South American republics. A grand reception will be given the delegates in Chicago. With potato bugs holding up trains and Bowler holding up the constitution, the Supreme Court and the United States treasury, it seems about time for the American people to provide themselves with an effect ive remedy against pestiferous insects. New York Mail and Express. Nobody seems to be willing to rise to dispute the claim that Chicago has become the greatest railroad terminus on earth. The total number of regular trains in and out of the city every twenty-four hours is 1,352, which is twenty-five more than one ago. The companies operating the roads number twenty eight and they control 40,000 miles of track. The Tobacco War. The present war existing be tween the big plug tobacco manu facturers is proving very interest ing for the consumers, they being the only ones who are" profiting by this war. The manufacturers are unquestionably losing a great deal of money, and, as far as we can see, the whole cause of the war is on account of a brand of plug tobacco called "Battle Ax," which appears to be as powerful a weapon as its name implies. The manufacturers of "Battle Ax" claim it to be the largest piece of high-grade goods ever sold for the- money. And the success of the brand, the enormous quantity which is being sold, clearly demonstrates that the con sumers have not been slow in de tecting the fact that they have a bargain. This has caused the. demand for other heretofore popular brands to be greatly diminished. Hence the present great toba.ccl war. The Greatest and Best Lino of Clothin Furnishing Groods, .
