Lincoln county is moving in irriga

main ditch lines are now under con
struction. Arrangements have been
perfected whereby the irrigation ditch
of John llratt & Co., which taps the
North Platte river three miles from the
mouth of the liirdwood, will be com

not be irrigated next year from ditches
completed or under construction.

son and another workman were at
work on the orphan's home at York,
putting up machinery and, when at a
lieighth of fifty-six feet, the scaffolding
they were on gave way. Meehan was

Humboldt has a horse society for re
covery of stolen horses which held its
annual meeting last week. The society
was organized in 1880 by the leading
farmers of the community for their
own protection. If a member of the
organization has a horse or mule stolen
the society defrays the expense of
hunting the thief, besides offering a
reward for his capture and recovery of
the horse. During the first year of its
existence one span of horses was stolen
and the thief was pursued, captured
and sent to the penitentiury. Since
that time not a horse has been stolen
from any member of the society, al
though several have been stolen from
farmers not members of the organiza
tion.

the Lincoln Journal, who is a member
at the state horticultural society, re
ports that the flat-headed borer is
doing1 greater damage to young orch
ards at this time than at any time dur
ing the past twenty-five yeara He
says prompt and thorough action will
save many orchards from almost entire
ruin. The remedy is to cut out the
borers, and where the insect has em
bedded itself deeply in the bodies of
the tree to follow up the excavation
with small wire probe; then cover the
wound with mineral paint made as
thick as it can be spread with a small
brush. Pure linseed oil thickened with
oxide of iron makes the most practical
paint he has found.

TWO BOLD TRAIN ROBBERS.
Tbmy Hold Dp Oitfoo Ovwrlsnd Express
and Make Away With ■1,000.
Sacramento, Cal., Oct 13.—Tvro
robbers captured the track walker
last night seven miles beyond Davis
vllle and then, with his lantern, sig
naled to the Oregon Overland train
from San Francisco, which was in
r.ight to stop. Two men then jumped
on the locomotive and after firing
several shots forced Engineer Will
iam Scott to go back and uncouple
the express and mail cars. These
were then taken five miles from tho
passenger cars.
Then the robbers, with the engin
eer and fireman, went to the express
car. Messenger Paige at first refused
to open the car and several shots
were fired, one of which grazed his
head. He returned the fire nntil
Engineer Suott begged him to desist
Then Paige opened the car and one
of the outlaws covered the trainmen
while the other gathered up four
sacks of gold and silver, amounting
to about 81,500.
The engineer and fireman were
forced to carry the treasure to the
engine. Then tho tWo robbers
mounted the locomotive and rode Borne
distance. The men then left the en
gine after reversing it and disap
peared. The engine struck the mall
cars but did no damage.
As far as can be learned more than
500 pounds of coin were taken. If all
silver it would bo about $5,000; if all
gold, about $75,000. It is believed
that one sack weighing 100 pounds
carried .by tho engineer was gold,
considering the smallness of bulk as
compared to its weight. If 60, that
sack contained about $25,000.

DOUBT ABOUT THE BIO FIGHT
AT JACKSONVILLE.
FLORIDA PEOPLE ARE STIRRED UP.
Already I’rep trim? to Hake War on the
Corbett*FiUilmmom “Scientific” Con
test—The Legislature Will Be
Asked to rase an Iron-Clad
Anti-Prise Fight law—
Pits ltefuses to Sign.
Jacksonvili.b, Fla., Oct 1 5.—-Un
less there shall be a radical change in
public sentiment there will be no op
position to the proposed fight here
between Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
Mr. Richardson, one of the principal
backers of the Florida athletic club,
is reported to hare said that the new
club would not have embarked in this
scheme if there was any chance of op
position by the governor or hostile
legislation at Tallahassee next spring
so the opinion here is that the back
ers of the club have been given "in
side” assurance that they have noth
ing to fear from the legislature. Some
surprise is felt at the publication in
the Citizen, a paper which took no
stand in opposition to the Corbett
Milchell fight when it was pending,
as follows:
"Allow us to sajr right now that
the so-called preliminaries of the so
called glove contest may as well be
abandoned right now. Jacksonville
is not a candidate for any further
notoriety in this line. The scientific
j contests, as the parlance of the ring
! has it, are nothing less than brutal
prize fights in which one of the
principals undertakes to punch the
other’s head off, according to certain
fixed rules.
“As soon as the legislature of next
spring shall have been organized and
some members can get the attention
of the speaker, we shall have an iron
bound anti-prize fight law that will
cover every phase of this subject.
There is no mistake about this and
Messrs. Corbett and Fitzsimmons may
prepare to take their show to some
less civilized and more lawless

FITZSIMMONS OBJECTS.
He Kernses to Sign the Articles, Mak
ing All Sorts of Objections to Them.
Philadelphia, Oct. 15.—After re
ceiving by mail a copy of the fighting
articles from New York yesterday,
Bob Fitzsimmons declared he would
not sign them in that shape. He ob
jects to fighting for the championship
belt put up by a sporting paper, as he
considers it put up for advertising
purposes. Also to the size of the
gloves, which should be five ounces,
the same as used by Corbett, Sullivan,
Mitchell and himself. Also to the
club's naming the referee unless a
clause be inserted that he shall be
satisfactory to both parties. Fitz
simmons said:
“I don’t know anything about the
Florida club and I hear that Corbett’s
backers, the Dwyers, are behind it,
and as he has had everything his own
way so far 1 think I should at least
have a say as to who shall be the
referee.”
Elliott Breaks the Shooting Record.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct 15.—Never

W. F. Carver at Exposition park yes
terday. Mr. Elliott won by the re
markable score of 100 to 99. Mr. El
liott has probably established a rec

will never be broken.

o’clock last evening. He is a manu
facturer of buggies and just before
quitting time burned his hand very
badly. He went to a drug store and
while the physician was preparing a
prescription, Meserver asked the clerk
for some whisky. Through a mistake
the clerk gave him a half pint of car
bolic acid, of which Meserver drank

afterward was a dead man. He was
36 years old and leaves a wife and
four children.

DUN’S BUSINESS REVIEW.
It S»jr« Business It Waiting for Develop
ment of the ltetall Trade.
New York, Oct. 15.—R. O. Dun <S
Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says
Business is still waiting for the de
velopment of retail trade There is i
little better demand in some indus
tries, but not so good in others
Wholesale dealers in nearly al
branches are haulting because bust
ness does not yet show distinctly
what it is to be. Lower prices for thi
great farm staples and lower wages ii
sonSe establishments hinder purchase:
for consumption, while political in
terest and uncertainty also have somi
influence. Meanwhile large imports
and small exports of merchandise,
with inadequate employment foi
money here are raising the rates ol
foreign exchange, so that possibilities
of gold exports somewhat affect the
stock market. The halting attitude
for the moment is disturbing to those
who have looked for continued gain,
though rightly considered, it is the
natural consequence of conditions
which are to be expected at this sea
son.
The government crop reports are
not greatly trusted, and yet have ai
influence and actually aggravate the
tendency toward lower prices, be
cause they are supposed to report all
the crops too low. Men calmly
reckon that if the government
report indicates over 400,000,001
bushels of wheat, the crop
must be over. 500,000,000, anti
though Western receipts for the week
have been only 4,469,075 bushels,
against 6,335,303 last year, and Atlan
tic exports only 647,244 bushels,
against 900,504 last year, the price is
slightly lower. Corn is stronger, foi
receipts are hardly a quarter and ex
ports barely an eighth of last year’s,
and the question whether the actual
yield, if above the government esti
mate, may not prove lower than has
been supposed.
RECIPROCITY TREATIES.
Abrogation of the One With llraxil May
Result In Damage Suits.
Washington, Oct. 15.—The abroga
tion of reciprocity between the United
States and Brazil is to have a sequel
in the filing of claims and the begin
ning of suits against this government
for the total hinount of duties collect
ed on Brazilian goods covered by the
reciprocity treaty from August 27 last,
the date the new tariff law went into
effect, up to January 1 next
In the exchange of official notes
leading up to the treaty, Ministei
Mendonca of Brazil .wrote to Secre
tary Blaine that the treaty would be
proclaimed, “with the understanding
the commercial arrangements thus
put in operation shall remain in force
so long as neither government shall
definitely, at least three months in
advance, inform the other of its in
tention and decision to consider it at
an end at the expiration of the time
indicated, provided, however, that
the termination of the commercial
arrangement shall b?gin to take
effect either on the first day of Janu
ary or the first day of July.”
Secretary Blaine’s official note re
peated the above language and stated
the arrangement would not be termi
nated except on “at least three
months’ notice.” The official notice
was made a part of the commercial
arrangement and the president’s
proclamation. Notwithstanding this
provision, the new tariff law abro
gates all reciprocity treaties, except
that with Hawaii, without notice.
