Ealerod al the North Platte (Nebraska) postoffice as seeond-classmatter. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1896. Red winter -wheat sold in New York the other day for $1.00. The republicans did not promise $1.25 for wheat in case of McKinley 's election, but the chances are that it-will come pretty near reaching that figure after McKinley assumes the presidential duties. A number of the leading- popu lists of the state held a conference at Lincoln this week and decided upon the policy to be pursued by the coming legislature. The re sult of the conference has not been made public, but it is hoped that the measures to be enacted by the law-makers will not be so radical as to frighten eastern capitalists from making investments in the state. Should a fear of making Spain mad compel the United States to stand by silent while theJSpaniadrs butcher our unfortunate neigh bors? It is a question that has been asked by multitudes of pa triotic Americans, and it will be heard often in the near future. There is a crisis near at hand in Cuba, and the United States will be in a measure responsible for the disaster. As America found friends in her day of need, so should Cuba in the people of the United States, and they should not stop to ask permission of Spain or any one else. Inter Ocean. jTrappears that 72 per cent of the farms in the United States are free from mortgages. This is a fact, and a gratifying and rose-colored fact, which 4kuocks the stuffing" out of many loud and long-winded hjirangues. If further inquiry sliould be made it would doubtless be'discovered that in a majority of instances the mortgages on the 28 per tent of mortgaged farms rep resent money borrowed for im provements. The American farm er sometimes has occasion to growl; but,, take him for all in all, he is the molt prosperous tiller of the soil andfthe most independent in the world. Philadelphia Record. At the next session of the su preme court it is expected that the decision in the sugar bounty case will be handed down, which will determine -the exact condition under which the company may set tle with the farmers and what to do another season. Alread beet growers are preparing to contract for another season, and if the price remains at $5.00 per ton the com pany; will not be able to contract with all those who desire to raise beets. What effect a reduction ot $1 per ton will have is not yet known, but 'no doubt will keep many from raising- them. Grand Island Inde pendent. Comparative statement of the receipts and expenditures of the United States show that during November, 1897, the total reciepts were $25,210,806, and the expendi tures $32,260,720. The receipts for the five months of the fiscal year amount to $131,650,489, and the ex penditures $171,697,335. The de Celt for the month of Nouember, therefore, is $S, 050, 024 and for the five months $39,496,846, as compared with $15,S69,337 for the correspond ing five months of last year. The receipts from customs during No veraberamounted to $9,930,385; from internal revenue, $13,104,828, and from miscellaneous sources $2,175,- 482. This is a loss in customs com pared with November, 1S95. of $1, 524,939; a gain from internal revenue of $64,744, and a gain of $684,379 from miscellaneous sources. John M. Thurston left Sunday for Wahington, where he goes to occupy his cushioned seat in the senate chamber. Since election the railways have had an increased passenger traffic Omahaward. Pa triots who want soft berths under the' McKinley administration have kept the rails hot and Senator Thurston in a stew. There are probably 1,200 or 1,500 government positions in Nebraska and reckon ing on a conservative basis of six teen aspirants to one job, it will be seen at a glance how many people have at least a temporary and di rect interest in Senator Thurston. While in "Washington he will be more or less subject to unpleasant influences but he will escape that rush and jam and personal conflict which wilreventually qualify him fo'r the position of right tacklein a foot ball team.

HOUSES IN CHIPPEWA FALLS DE SERTED BY INHABITANTS. Xargo Tract of Country Inundated fiorce Is Now Five Miles. Long; and 3n Many Places Thirty to Fifty Feet Higli-Tc Pack at Badger Mills Growinjr In Extent. Chippewa Palls, Wis., Dec. 2. Yes terday was a day of excitement and anx iety and last night found the inhabi tants of this little village in a state bor dering on panic. The worst of the situ ation is the knowledge of the impending danger and of the fact that they are ut terly helpless to stay or to avert it. Those whose houses have been flooded have removed much of their household goods and belongings to higher ground and are huddled together in the school houses and other vacant buildings out of the path of the torrent that is sweep ing down several of the main streets. All hope of breaking the gorge and thus allowing the pent up waters to gradually subside is now abandoned. All efforts were directed toward removing house hold goods and merchandise out.of the reach of the flood. Every team in the city has been engaged in this work. Every resident and business firm on Kiver street have moved out. The Chippewa Lumber and Boom com pany's mill and yard are under water and all hope has vanished of saving the entire business portion of the place from being submerged, and the water will soon reach the courthouse, eight blocks from the river. A report from Little Falls was brought that another gorge was forming 50 miles above here and this greatly added to tho alarm, as in case it should break nothing could save tho city from being swept away. Reports of a very serious nature come from down tho river. Tho country everywhere is flooded. Tho gorge con tinues to grow in extent. It is now over five miles long and in many places 30 to 50 feet high. It completely dams the river and this is what is causing the rapid rise of the river here, The heavy raius of last week were followed by a sudden freeze, which suddenly massed the floating ice in the Chippewa and the swiftly running current continually added to it, -until it reached its present gigantic proportions. Below here the Chippewa is falling. There is no flood at Eau Claire, but this fact is causing the people at that place much uneasi ness, as it indicates that the water is being piled up as by a dam above them. The ice pack at Badger Mills, half way between Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls is growing in extent and everything seems to indicate that tho river is chok ing up. Chippewa Falls Abandoned. Chippewa Falls, Wis., Dec. 2. The business portion of Chippewa Falls is abandoned and the flood may sweep away many of the buildings without dajnaging scarcely a dollar's worth of merchandise and other valuable goods that were stored there until yesterday. Business men decided not to take chances with the foe that threatened to sweep their possessions frpni them and at an early hour began the removal of stocks of dry goods, groceries, flour and feed and furniture. Every business house on Spring street and Bridge street from the river to Center street is deserted and the contents of the build ings have been stored in unoccupied structures in remote portions of the city where the flood cannot reach unless the entire city is overwhelmed and swept away. The Chippewa river shows no sign of abatement. The postoffice is under three feet of water and Postmaster McCall has moved the office seven blocks from its old location. Ten stores on the south side of Spring street are in undated. Perish In Snow. Moorhead, Minn., Nov. 30. Thomas Anderson, a young man, after helping a ."woman, to heir nome, attempted to reach his ownf but perished and now lies bur ied ii the snow drifts. At Devil's Lake, N. J., Henry Bur roughs of St. Paul, a mail clerk, is also buried iu the snow. At Fargo, N. D., Frank Hach of Chi cago was frozen on the prairie a mile from town. At Churches Ferry, N. D., a trainman attempted to get help for a train load of cattle, and was frozen stiff. Ten carloads of sheep destined for Chicago were frozen at Grand Harbor, Devil's Lake. The November which is just closing is the coldest in the north west for many years. Snowr fell on the iith of the month and has not since dis appeared pych fqr a day.

Eight Honnds of Hot Fighting and the Fight Ends In an Unexpected Manner Referee Earp's Decision Based On an Al leged Use of the Knee. San Francisco, Dec. 3. No event in HiR historv of nucrilism on the Pacific 1 A. w I A- n1lin oftonfmn here as did the battle between the heavy weights, Kobert Fitzsimmons and Thomas Sharkey last night. Between 15,000 aud 20,000 people occupied all the available space in the big Mechanics pavillion and watched the contest, which everyone regarded as practically deciding the championship of tho world. The long, lean New Zealander, who had a succession of victories in tho United States for the last five or six years, en tered tho ring with almost every appar ent advautago in his favor. He could count upon his experience and science; his height and reach and every other quality which enters into the making of tho successful prizo fighter. Against him was the sailor lad who was un known six months ago, but who rose to fame recently when he came perilously near trailing in the dust the colors of California's idol, James J. Corbett. Against the science and experience and the superior height and reach of Fitz simmons was Sharkey with his youth and strength, probably oue of the great est examples of muscular development that the prize ring has produced. A man not accredited with the science of a Fitzsimmons or a Corbett, but who has proved that he would be a "chopping block" for no one, and who was known to possess most remarkable strength and endurance and to fear nothing that ever stepped into a prize ring. It was a lively fight from the start. Bob was even more aggressive than Sharkey and kept his man ou the move all the time. In the very first round Fitzsimmons saw an opening and aright swing on the jaw sent Sharkey to the floor. That made the sailor a bit cau tious and during the next four rounds he tried to keep put of reach. In the fonrtli Sharkey" pushed Fitzsimmons over onto the floor and before Bob could get up made a couple of vicious swipes at him. Fitzsimmons cleverly clinched and avoided damage, but it was a clear case of foul on Sharkey's part. No claim was made, however, and the fight went on. Fitzsimmons Warms Up. In the fifth Sharkey did more mean work, grabbing Fitzsimmons around the legs and trying to throw him. Fitzsim mons began to warm up and went after the sturdy sailor like a cyclono. A poke on the nose and a left swiug on the jaw sent Sharkey down. He rolled up to the ropes aud would have gone off the platform had not Bob courteously hauled him back. It looked as if Tom was done for, but the gong sounded and he was given a minute in which to re cuperate. In the sixth Sharkey "made a pretense of fighting, leading for Bob's wind. He missed connection every time, however, while Fitzsimmons would land his left on the jaw. When the round closed Sharkey wras decidedly PTPggy but was pn his feet. A joyous shout went up frpm be inauy "sports who had bet even money that he would last six rounds. When the seventh round opened, Fitzsimmons tried to end matters. Ho swung his right repeatedly for the jaw, but in some manner Sharkey escaped. The left jabs always connected though, and Tom was decidedly on the wane. Bobliimself was none too strong and seemed to be a bit tired when tho round closed. Then came the disastrous eighth. Fitzsimmons went at his man with a will and fairly smothered bun with lefts and rights. First it would be the mouth that suffered, then the nose and later the eye. Fitzsimmons was working like a demon. His long arms shot out with amazing rapidity and Tom's head bobbed back and fourth in response. Then Fitzsimmons got up close to finish the sailor's head Jipok, sinujarly applied, sent him pver backwards, Tben pame tho much dis pated foul. Very few of the immense crowd could be convinced that Fitzsim mons had been unfair and it is almost certain that if a foul were committed, it was unintentional. Howl of Indignation. At first the crowd did not seem to grasp the situation, but when it dawned upon them that the decision had gone against Fitzsimmons, such a howl of indigna tion as went up has seldom been heard in this sectiou. Hisses, curses, groans and hoots split the air. On the platform 'in the ring Bob Fitzsimmons andMar Jip 'Julian were junfpftig about and try ing to make themselves heard. Al jfliongh their words were indistinguish able, their actions were expressive enough. Dismay and disgust were viv jdjy portrayed. Fitzsimmons indig nantly denied tiiat hp had fouled Shar key. He said he had fought fairly and jfiiere was no temptation for him to cpjurait a foul, as he knew he had his pian going. Sharkey cQuld not he seeij. fie was carried into, bis room by )is sec onds and followed by a doctor, who ex amined the injured sailor, Sharkey recovered consciousness about half an hour later. He was apparently' badly injured, his groin being swollen. Captain Templeton Missing. Savannah, Ga., Nov. 30.
