William Detts, a well-known engineer
In Rochester, N. Y„ was treated to a
great surprise the other day. which was
no less than an Invitation to his wife’s
wedding. Three years ago Mrs. Betts
lefl home mysteriously and William
had heard nothing from her until he
had received the Invitation to go to
Santa Clara, Cal., to see her married to
J. W. Albo. Instead of complying with
her request he wont over to the court

The horse and bicycle have been run
ning In competition, but a big building
Is to be orocted In Central Park, Now
York, as a riding academy for both.
On the ground floor will be a ring for
horseback riding 200 feet long and 80
wide, with space for more than 2,000
spectators. On the fourth floor will be
a bicycle course 234 feet by 90 feet.
Other floors will be occupied by riding
clubs, restaurants, etc. This would be
a great schemo for Philadelphia.
Two deputy marshals from Guthrie,
Ok., found themselves In a prety fix In
New York the other day. They were
taking John Blttoll. a forger, to the Al
bany penitentiary to servo a seven-year
■entence, nnd Instead of going direct to
Albany with their man they stopped off
at New York nnd went to n hotel, where
Johnny gave them the slip. They left
him In the room while they went down
to tho office to smoko. John went down
the flre-esoapo nud didn’t stop to smoke.
Wmlnm McGInty wmTTniitctod nt tho
last session of the grand jury nt Duluth,
Minn., for being the leader of a gang of
box-car thieves. Just before he was in
dicted ho fled, and was brought back a
few days ago In a badly mangled condi
tion, with his legs gone, having been
run over by a train in North Dakota.
The sheriff had him brought to the
Jail, where he will be cnreil for until his
trial takes place. Many people have
baen wondering what had become of the
man of mishaps, who was last heard
of when ‘‘down went McGInty to the
bottom of tho sen, dressed In his best
ault of elothos.” Here he is and in the
tome hard luck.
There was a lively time at Grayson,
Ky., one day recently, when 1,600
armed farmers rode Into town, hitched
their horses around the court-house,
and went Inside to protest against the
collection of a tax to pay certain rail
road bonds of forty years’ standing.
They claim tho road was not built ac
cording to agreement. At the present
time it looks as If the fnrmor3
■would avoid tho payment, as ’no
one can ‘be found with nerve
enough to try to force It. Thus
In union thero is strength. Kentucky
farmers, as a rule, don't ride horseback
With Winchesters across their shoulders
merely for their health.
The new Chicago directory discloses
the fact that the Johnsons now outnum
ber the Smiths. But all the old-time
favorites, Ole Olsons, Hans Hansens,
O’Sullivans, Schmidts, O’Houlahans,
«tc„ are much in evidence. Frank
Przcowsky stands alone In his nomen
clature, but there are plenty of
Szezolkowskls, Szczpoirckys, etc. From
this great book, which Is about the size
of an unabridged dictionary, it is esti
mated that Chicago's population is now
1,700,000, or 60,000 more than last sea
aon. If figured on tho same ratio per
directory name as New York figures
(5%) the present population of Chicago
would be placed at 2,100,000.

State Fair Prospects.
Chairman Dinsmore, Secretary For*
nas and Mr. Dunham of the state board
of agriculture met informally last
night, says an Omaha paper, and
Messrs, liussett, Doolittle and Vance
are expected in to attend the regular
meeting. But it is possible no meeting
will be held, for from the reports re*
ceived tho fair is growing to such pro
portions that the board of managers is
seriously thinking of taking to the
woods until after September. Not
on*j' is the demand for space in all the
buildings greater than the supply, but
so many applications for building sites
are coming in that though the grounds
contain forty acres more than the old
grounds, and all of it available, the
board is beginning to think the Omaha
people want the earth. There are
many features entirely new to a Ne
braska State fair, or any other state fair
for that matter. Secretary Furnas is
still confident, however, of weathering
the storm and giving all would-be
builders and exhibitors some space.
One matter culled to the attention of
tiie board was that several persons are
getting up guides and guide books to
the fair and soliciting advertisements
on the representation that their publi
cations have been indorsed by tho
board. The board desires it to be un
derstood that it has not indorsed any
guides whatever, that the only publi
cations indorsed by it in any way are
the premium list, which was published
some time ago, and the State Fair Bul
letin, which is issued monthly.

stuff beaten into the earth. Electric
lamps were ruined, the wires being
beaten down until they could be reach
ed and many were broken. Trees were
stripped of their leaves, twigs and
branches. Sparrows were killed by
hundreds Fowls were killed and
stock bruised till bleeding. Much of the
goods in the stores were damage by
water through the windows, skylights
and roofs. Corn was cut down or badly
shredded and the ears beaten to pulp.
The damage in Schuyler is about 85,000.

sorghum KIIIk More Cows.
Within the past week Charles Gerber,
says a York dispatch, a farmer living’
east of York, has lost four head of cat
tle from the supposed effects of eating
second-growth sorghum. A few days
ago he turned two cows into a patch of
sorghum to feed, and they had only
eaten a few minutes when they begun
to sicken, and in less than twenty min
utes they were dead. He had previ
ously lost two animals, but was at a
loss to know the cause, and as they
had likewise fed on this sorghum, the
sudden death of the two cows con
vinced him that it might be sorghum.
Thought Uls Life In Danger.
William H. Collicott, says an Indian
ola dispatch, who was taken to the in

committed suicide Wednesday night,
was 37 years old, and his mind had
been affected for about one year, lie
fancied that he was pursued by ene
mies who tried to kill him, and con
stantly begged his friends to kill him.

North Valley precinct, and well-to-do
financially. The family ordered the

not recognize her husband nor children

Little Things of Life.
Why is it that we so easily forget
that the little tilings in life are what
make it easy or hard? A few pleasant
words, a warm hand-clasp, a cordial
letter are simple things, hut they are
mighty in thpir influence on the lives
-f those about us, adding a raj- of hope
to many disconsolate hearts, giving
courage to disappointed, weary ones,
and helping at the same time to make .
our own lives sweeter. Few people
realize how much the little attentions
of every-day life mean to their associ
ates in the home, society and the place
of business. It is generally a lack of
consideration that makes one forget
the tiny pleasantries; but lack of con
sideration is reaily one form of selfish
ness. and selfishness is not a desirable
quality. Remember that the littlo
things in life, either good or bad, count
for more with those we love than we
ever know, and we should be watchful
Df our actions and of our words.

MR. HARRITY CONFIDENT.
TIE DEMOCRATIC KATIOIAL COM
MITTEE CHAIRMAN TUIS.
PARTY OUTLOOK IS GOOD
Woes Not Believe Grover Would Take a
Third Term—Says Whitney Would
Make a Splendid Candidate for
President—The Democrats In
New York Are Going to
Get Together Soon.
London, Aug. .19.—William F. Har
rity, chairman of the United States
Democratic national committee, will
soon sail for New York, after having
done England, Ireland and Paris. He
is much improved in health and takes
a sanguine view of Democratic politics.
Yesterday he said: “With the great
work the Democratic administration is
doing for sound money, good times are
returning and will continue to im
prove, for which the Democrats will
get credit. The next Republican house
is sure to encounter complications. I
really do not believe Mr. Cleveland
would take a third term. There is no
pronounced candidate for the presi
dency among the Democrats, not be
cause the chances of his election are
not good, but because it is
too early for candidates to appear.
William C. Whitney is the most
tulked of. I see ho says he is not a
candidate. Mr. Whitney is human and
he would make a splendid candidate.
My best information is that the Demo
crats are going to get together and
carry New York next November. That
will encourage the Democrats of other
states. We shall therefore go into the
campaign full of enthusiasm. With
the return of good times the free coin
age agitation will die out and good
times mean a Democratic victory in
1896.”
PRAISED BY MORRILL.
The Kansu Governor Has a Good Word
for Every Republican Leader.
Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 19.—Gover
nor Morrill of Kansas, who is here,
asked who was the favorite for the
Republican Presidential nomination
in Kansas, replied: “William McKinley
is decidedly the choice of the Kansas Re
publicans. He is a level headed and
safe man. He has personal popularity
with the people of the West. Reed,
however, is an intellectual giant. He
has many admirers in Kansas and
throughout the West and he is gener
ally regarded as one of the most bril
liant men in public life. Allison is
highly respected and his nomination
would be very acceptable to Kansas,
but I do not expect to see it. I met
Allison a short time ago and he told
me frankly that he did not intend to
make any special push for the nomin
ation this year as he had in previous
years. In my opinion Harrison will
not be a candidate. ”
Mnrcy K. Brown Turned Down.
Kansas Citt, Mo., Aug. 15.—All
previous meetings of the Democratic
county committee were discounted by
proceedings of the stormy session this
forenoon. Personal difficulties were
narrowly averted and finally two com
mittee meetings were necessary. Chair
man Marcy K. Brown was turned out
by. a two-thirds vote and Police Com
missioner Shelley elected chairman of
the committee. Brown and his fol
lowers bolted the meeting and are ex
pected to organize another county
committee with Prown as chairman.
Pelfcr on Populist Chances.
Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 19.—Senatot
Peffer of Kansas, when asked “Do you
think the Populists have any chance
of electing a president in 1896?” re-'
plied: “It all depends on the free sil
ver Democrats and Republicans. If
they vote the way they talk we will
elect our man, but if they do as they
always have done—talk with us and
vote with the old parties—we shall
simply have a natural and healthy
?rowth, about double our vote over
892, and be in line for the ndxt presi
dential contest.”
Judge Alclcn Nominated.
Kansas Crrr, Mo., Aug. 19.—Judge
Henry L. Alden was nominated for re
election for judge of the Twenty-ninth
judicial district of Kansas on the first
ballot in the Republican county con
vention in Kansas City, Kan., at 2:14
o’clock this afternoon. Judge Alden

Pythias in Kansas and present judge
of the Twenty-ninth Kansas district.
Senator Davis’ Room Set to Moving.
St. PAur,. Minn., Aug. 15.—The Dis
patch this afternoon contains an inter
view with Captain II. A. Castle, a life
long friend of Senator C. K. Davis, in
which he states that friends of the
senator are convinced that there is a
strong sentiment in favor of Mr. Davis
for the Republican nomination for
president, and that they will work for
him.
Stone Talks About Cleveland.
New York, Aug. 19.—Governor Will
iam J. Stone of Missouri, in an inter
view here, said: “You aslt about Mr.
Cleveland and a third term. I have no
idea that Mr. Cleveland will be a can
didate. He could not be nominated if
he were to be nor elected if nomin
ated.”
William R. King's Will Broken.
Marshall,, Mo., Aug. 19.—The will
of the late William R. King has been

property involved is valued at #150,000.

Montreal, Aug. 19.—Great excite
ment was caused by the statement that
#40,000 worth of s irities have been
stolen from the safe of the city treas
urer in the city hall.
TO CRUSH THE REBELS.
Twenty-Five Thousand More Men and
Manj Cruisers Will Be Bent to Cuba.
Madrid, Aug. 19.—Prime Minister
Canovas del Castillo gave the follow- |
ing account of the forces to be used in ’
putting an end to the conflict in Cuba: i
“By the end of September or the first j
days of October, when the rainy sea
son is over, an additional *25,000 men
will be landed on the Island from
Spain The naval strength for the
surveillance of the Cuban coast
will comprise nineteen cruisers now
building in England, six cruis
ers which are now being built at
Cadiz and fifteen already in service, a
total of forty cruisers. These with
the vessels already despatched to our
aid by the United States government,
we trust will be found sufficient. In
regard to the Mora claim, the con
servative government has proceeded
entirely on the responsibility created
for us by our predecessors in power.
The question of indemnity once having
been accepted by the Spanish govern
ment, no other course than that re
solved upon was possible: Immediate
payment, to meet which we have
realized the funds necessary without
having recourse to parliamentary in
tervention.”
FEUD OF DOCTORS.
Portland, Oregon, Physicians Use, Re
volvers In an Office.
Portland, Ore., Aug. 19.—At noon
several shots in rapid succession were
heard in the office of Dr. H. R. Holmes
in the Dekum building. The tenants
rushed in and found the prostrate
bodies of Dr. Holmes and Dr. Robert
K. Ausplund, each of whom was hold
ing a smoking pistol in his hand. There
were no other persons in the r >om.
Ausplund had a hole in his body and
one in his head, another in his breast,
another in his rigllt wrist. Holmes'
was wounded in two places, one ball
having entered an arm and the other
the body, just below the left nipple.
Ausplund was taken to the hospital
and Holmes to nis residence. Ausp
lunds wounds will undoubtedly result
fatally, while the physician thinks
Holmes will recover.
It is not known what was the cause
of the shooting, but it is thought it
was due to a criticism by Holmes of
Ausplund’s method of treating a pa
tient in the Portland hospital and that
Ausplund called at Holmes office to
make him retract.
