A plasterer fell sixty-five feet
down an elevator shaft in Chicago
the other day. When his horrified
fellow workmen rushed down to
gather up the remains they found
the victim of the accident smoking
his pipe and smiling over a funny
story that he had recalled while on
the way down. He said the onty
thing he thought of while he was
falling was the storv about the
Irishman who fell off the swinfifinjr
scaffold under the cornice of a seven-
story building. As the Irishman
shot down to his death he. shouted
back to the men on the scaffold
'-Well byes, here goes for a good
boomp, annaway." That story
kept the plasterer in "food humor
all the way down the shaft, and he
was laughing" when he reached the
bottom. He was only slightly hurt.

John Dennis lost his wagon, team
and harness while trying to cross
the Missouri river on the ice at
Ponca.
Thousands of dollars' worth of
hay was destroyed by the overflow
of the Platte river, caused by the
ice gorge at Schuyler.
Samuel Sanders, who owns a
large farm west of Plattsmouth,
marketed two porkers, the combined
weight of which was 1,365.
Central City people object because
the Union Pacific fast mail passes
through their town at the rate of
fifty miless an hour.
A tin box filled with gold dust,
valued at $300, was uncovered by
William Austin while digging a
foundation for his home near
Plattsmouth.
William Grimm, who mysterious
ly disappeared from Bellevue last
summer, and who, it was thought,
had committed suicide, has turned
up in Chicago.
The republican central committee
of Cass county is the first one to be
called together for the campaign of
1896. It meets at Plattsmouth
March 7th.
E. J. Wilcox, of McCook caught
his forefinger in the sprocket wheel

Veteran soldiers of Holt, Brown,

John B. Walker's death sentence,
which was pronounced by Judge
Silas A. Holcomb in January, 1894,
was commuted Monday by Governor
Silas A. Holcomb. to imprisonment
at hard labor for life in the peni
teutian. Walker's case has been
before the governor for some time,
the plea of insanity having" been
set up by C. W. McNamara of Lex
ington, who defended him in the
trial court. While the Governor
does not state that he interposed
because he believed the condemned
man to be insane, it is generally
supposed that he is of that opinion,
notwithstanding the fact that he
adjudged Walker to be competent
to enter a plea on his own behalf
when the case was called for trial
in the district court. Walker was
to have been hanged Friday for the
murder of James P. Stevens, a
neighbor farmer.
During the rear ending June 30,
1894, we exported 22,888,916 pounds
of American-made starch. In Aug
ust, 1894, the Wilson-Gorman tariff
came into effect; during" the fiscal
year that ended June 30, 1895, our
exports fell to 11,788,995 pounds.
This is a decrease of 11,099,021
pounds. According to the idiot's
theorj', which is that commerce is a
game of swapping jack knives for
bean blowers, Europe ought to buy
more starch from us when we buy
more cotton goods from it. But
the eternal fact is against the idiot's
theory. Under the Wilson-Gorman
tariff the quantity of imported cot
tons has increased wonderfully, but
the European manufacturer of them
has not increased his purchases of
American made starch to stiffen
them. He has bought more starch
from his own countrymen with the
increased money that he has received
from our countrymen, to whom he
has sold his goods. Inter Ocean.
THE IDEAL HIGHWAY
from Chicago to Ft. Wayne, Cleve
land, Erie, Buffalo with solid trains
to New York and through cars to
Boston is the Nickel Plate Road
which operates one ot the most con
veniently arranged and punctual
train services with all the necessi
ties tending to promote the safety,
comfort and pleasure of the traveler.

A Hastings boy of fifteen writes
to the editor of the Republican that
he wishes the curtew ordinance
would incltjde women; that he has
to stay at home while his mother
attends club meetings, and it
makes him very lonesome. He
closes by intimating that what is
good for the goslings ought to be
good for the geese.
It is well known that the river
beds of California contain a vast
amount of gold. The old placers
miners occasionally build dams for
diverting streams and were reward
ed by finding" sands of wonderful
richness. But the diversion of
streams is expensive and has not
been practical for many years. To
take the place of that awkward and
ineffective method of scouring the
river beds, an inventor has just put
together o sort of coffer dam that
may be shifted about to cover the
bed from the sourco of of a stream
to its mouth. The miners go down
to the bottom of the river and send
up the pay dirt, to be washed at
leisure above. The Californians
are confident that the new device
will have a powerful influence in
checking the agitation of the free
coinage of silver. Ex. .
