"We are in receipt of "Fremont Illustrated," an attractive illustrated pamphlet issued under the auspices i the "Trade Bureau," Fremont, Nebraska. This is a publication of more than ordi nary excellence and interest, and is iu reality a well-written essay, without per sonal advertisement of any kind, on the inexhaustible resources of corn, hay and liye-stock of the whole state of Nebraska being devoted entirely to live-stock subjects. Fremont has come to be o.ie of the great general live-stock centres of the West, and its great establishments which the book illustrates, and an im mense showing of beef cattle, thorough breds, native and imported horses, sheep- fecdiug and hog interests are splendidly indicative of the resources of the state generally. A certain boarding house that we know of in the city can boast of good urotection, and when necessity demands it, can represent a good number of the professions. If any one of tho boarders meets with any serious accident, there is . doctor in the honse to stitch him up or set broken bones; if he receives the injuries from a scrappy, fhere is a lawyer on hand to prosecute him and a repo.ter near by to catch on and write him up. If any of the number wishes to purchase land, there is a capitalist lucya to buy from and a professor to figure for them, and a man to purchao the papers from and make them out. If any one of thp the party is financially embarrassed and waufs to move to another town, and there would be t;o eh-jnee to get there, unless oa a r,e 1SS tiic,c te 'tc':' fUroad men present to help and iegph operator to forward the wrd- to that town so that he can be given a reception upon his arrival. -1 royt The W.

Mayer are moving into their new quarters in the Carruth block, corner Fifth and Main streets, which has been fitted up specially for their fine large clothing stock. We bespeak for the above firm great success, for they have eyer been popular as live and accomodating busi ness men, and now that they have a store room one hundred and thirty feet long where. they will fiud room to show off their stock to good advantage, every in dication points to the change as a suc cessful one. The room has been fitted up in first-class style and presents a very charming a2pearance. Jerry Donnaher, a young man about twenty-five j-ears of age, and who is well know in this city, having resided here the greater portion of his life, met with a fatal accident while out hunting near Tucson, Arizona, where he has re sided since his departure from this place. The report came that he was accidentally shot while out hunting. The parents of tho deceased, who live in this city alone, were terribly shocked by the news, and the mother has suffered intense agony ever since. The young man was a boiler maker by trade and learned the trade in the B. fc M. shops here. The remains were shipped to SanFrancisco where they will be embalmed, after which they will be forwarded to this city for interment.

The King murder of last Saturday afforded the Omaha newspapers a whole page sensational article yesterday. As was stated in the Saturday issue of the Hekald, King was murdered by a woman who claims to be his wife, at the Paxton hotel. Harry King the murdered man, is the son of II. W. King, sr., of the great clothing firm of II. W. King &, Co., of Chicago. He is about thirty-two years of age. He grew to manhood in Chicago, enjoying all the pleasures of that great city under the liberal gratuities of his father who is ranked among the wealthy men of that place. The firm is one of the most substantial clothing houses in the world. It has eight branches, one in each of the cities of Philedelphia, Cin cinnati, Boston, Kansas City, St. Paul, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Omaha. Mr. Harry King was engaged in doing the outside business tor the firm. He h id come to Omaha to open up the business j there and after lie had come west had miriied a Miss Duffy, a daughter ot Judge Duffy, of St. Louis. He had been married three times. His first wife was divorced, and his second wife, the murderess, claimed to be deserted. When she learned of his l ist marriage the followed him to Omaha to prosecute lii 111 us she said, for bigamy. After she arrived at the Paxton Saturday morning she was directed to Mr. King's room by a bell boy. She persuaded him after several attempts to go to the par lor. A short conversation was held there and when she threatened to prose cute him when he was about to leave her he seized her by the throat and threat ened to choke her to death. She then shot him three times, each shot taking 6ffect, She is at present iu jail at Omaha. From Saturday's Daily. -The winter again at hand. The second snow storm of the season was seen here today.

The meetings at the Young Men's Christian Association rooms this week have been very interesting and well attended, one young man who attended the rooms last night, went into the parlor where the young men were holding their meeting. He became interested and after the meeting was over he spoke to one near him saying he had concluded to be come a Christian. The week of prayer has been well attended, and the young men think much good done. These series of meetings will close tomorrow evening with a union service of the Presby terian and Methodist churches, at the later church, where a sermon will be preached to young men by Rev. Alexan der; unlike the meetings at the rooms, which were for men only, this seryice will be for everybody. The usual gos pel meeting for men only will be held at the rooms at 4 p. m. A report was put in circulation this morning by some train men upon the ar rival of the Kansas City train from Omaha that a Plattsmouth man had been shot in the Paxton hotel there this morning. The news spread over the city like light ning and to gain a true sfetiment of the matter, the reporter interviewed Sheriff Eikenbary concerning it. Before that time he had heard no such report and went immediately to the telephone office and telephoned the Police headquarters at Omaha, asking if the report was true. He was informed that the murdered man's name was King, aud that he was a member of the firm of King, Browning & Co., a large cloth ing firm in Omaha. The report was that King had registered at the Paxton house with a woman as his wife, and about 7-30 this morning his wife, who suspicioned his disloyalty, had visited the above; house and found her husband's name j registered with another woman as bin wife. She sent the bell boy to his room requesting him to come down immedi ately. He came, and upon his arrival, the woman shot him twit e, killing him instantly. No further particulars wire learned. From Thursday' Daily. On figuring by the vote of Cass county at the last election, it, is estimated that the population will aggregate about 41,550, showing a growth since 1?0 of 1S,S50. Tin? street car company arc; engaged in laying fieir track again, and the work has been completed as far as Sixth street, on Vine. The city has been without street transportation for some time, and the suburban residents of the city who are obliged to walk to their pbu es of business daily, will be pleased to sc tho work progress. The Chrysanthemum social and hop given by the young ladies of St. Lukes church at Fitzgerald's hall last night met with encouraging success. Tho most beauti fid display of Chrysanthemums ever seen in this city adorned a large table which reached from one end of the hall to the other and won much praise for Mr. L. Moore, the florist who furnished them for the society. The hall was com fortably filled with pleasure-seekers who indulged in a delightful dance until a late hour. The Bohemian b ind furnished the music for the occasion. The Y. M. C. A. rooms, which arc located on Fourth and Main streets, have become a very desirable quaiter for young men of the city. The rooms arp comfortably furnished, convenient to tho city, abundantly supplied with first-class literature of all kinds, and various game tables. No stranger, who can enjoy himself at any edifying amusement or study can feel himself anyway but admirably provided for. The rooms are fast becoming popular among the young men, and as the nights grow c Ider aud the rooms present a i:;ure at tract i vu appearance, there; will n doubt be diffi culty in accommodating the crowd. Air. cess for this popular association . I(i Plattsmouth is already apparen t, Mr, Cocn Vallcry, a staunch demo crat living a few inL'es west of this city, has siijned coutracts which will, unless he manages to throw up the job in some mysterious way he is not onto at present, keep Ijiui hustling for lh; entire winter months. If messed for a bet we bel'evo lie would hayc staked his life on Cleve land's ?!"f'fjon if he hd run short of """da. but uk u lie f.r.ly t"i- 1 4 ""' the. cotillion of ed contracts, a.. v them is apparantly worrying him enough at present. We learned that he made a contract with one, Win. Witten- camp, to shell two thousand bushels of his corn gratis, i f Harrison was elected president for the coming term, and if defeated, those with whom he contracted were to pay him double money for shell ing the same amount. "Coon" will not run across many lonesome hours during the winter because of no work for lias made a number of such contracts which he will be obliged to complete. He straddled the wiong "boss"' that time. The fire alarm was sounded last night about 10 o'clock and news spread that a fire had broken out in the 3rd ward. It was discovered that a suvill -died, at the rear of a house on Murbbj street in which Mr. Ed Emery and family reside, was on fire. Great difiiculty wr s N 'xperienced in extinguishing the fiann; before it reached the house, and had a mild south wind been blowing at the time there would haye been no possible chance to save the main building. A short rime after the alarm was sounded the Uichey hoso team of the 3rd ward put in an appearance, but as their hose lacked several hundred feet of reaching the de sired spot, no effective work could be done by throwing water and it was ibandoned. The cry arose " Where are the other hose carts '. " and the excuse came that the second ward cart could not be pulled from its station on nccouu of the high bank left in front by the grading, and all attempts to get it out to the tire were given up. The general opinion is that half the town would h ive burned before another effort would h ive been made to get more hose to t lie fire. Such a way of leaving the fire aparatrs seems very negligent on the part of the fire company and steps should be takrn immediately to make preparations for another fire should one ever occur again, .V ! 1 i' j V 9 ; f :.fi 1 1 rr
