Mr. Robert Flormann, one of the
Black Hills tin men, has offered the
owners of the Spokane mine f 1,000,
000 for their claim. Mr. John Shafer,
a son of W. II. Shafer, of this city, is
half owner of this mine. It is not
Tfcnown whether the oiler will be ac
cented or not as Mr. Hawk Wright,
1 who ownes one-fourth of the mine,
is away and they are waiting for
his return to see whether the offer
win ue accepu-u ui uui.
A stock extra passed through
yesterday, composed of twenty
three cars of very fine stock, en-
route for the state fair at Lincoln
If other roads do an amount of
transportation equal to the H. k M.
tone may well conclude that tlie
stock exhibit will be complete. It
is to be regretted, however, that in
one car a very line blooded horse
enroute for the fair, had died before
arriving here.

Almost a Blaze.
Sunday morning upon entering
the laundry Mr. Donnelly, the pro
prietor, discovered that his build
ing had narrowly escaped being
burned to the ground. In the up
per floor the lloor above the base
ment -a hole was found to have
been burned about six feet iu diam
eter and the stairway and railing
partly burned. The most unac
countable feature is that the fire
was extinguished, presumably,
without aid, as no one is known to
have been near the place at that
time. The origin of the fire is un
known, as the furnace was cool
Saturday evening; besides, the lire,
being about twenty feet from the
furnace, could not possibly have
had its origin there. The work is
supposed to have been that of an
incendiary.
City Schools.
The ntv schools opened this
morning, and we are informed, that
never, iu the history of the Platts-
inouth schools has the outlook for

in the neighborhood of 1000 pupils
With the repairs and appliances
added to the buildinirs; with a
school board thoroughly identified
with our school interests; witn a
complete and efficient corps of
teachers oneratinir in accordance
with the direction of our able super
intendent, the patrons of the Platts-
tnouth schttols may feel assured
that their children are amply pro
vided forjbut while it is necessaryto
have a building will equiped, and a
school board and teachers working
harmoniously there is annpportuu
itv for the patron to add srrcatly to
the effectiveness of their lahors
The parent should visit the schools
frequently, keep informed as the
needs and progress of the pupil
ind co-operate with the teacher in
enrrvniir out every wen cieiiuen
plan.
For sometime there has hecn a
fewer number that have completed
the course of study, owing to tli
fact that the study of Lalm was
eoinpulsary. Stiperindcnt McClel
land informs us, that in order to
accomodate a great number, and
yet maintain as nearly as possible
the same desrre of stability ami
insure the irraduales of either
courses training equally as inoi
ough, he has arranged two courses
of study; viz, a Latin and Kuglish,
leaving the matter of selection
optional with the pupil. The tli vi-
sion. as we understood it is made
for the accomodation of those de
siring Iviglish and American, litera
lure, hence more Lnglish language,
in preference to Latin, In this all are
provided for and yet the same de
gree of thorough drill and pro
liciency is maintained.

The IIekald office hns received a
circular descriptive of the "Turner
Storage and Receptacle" a device
invented by our former townsman,
G. W. Turner, as an attachment to
railroad cars,. for the purpose of
keeping a perfectly reliable record
of the car from the time it leaves the
shop until it returns for repairs,
Owinp- to the inconvenience that
would be caused all concerned, the
railroads can not always use their
own cars, and upon receiving a car
from another, each road must make

This is necessary so that the ex

A CHARACTERISTIC LETTER
Ao Epistle from Jut iiII Written
Nnarty Forty Var Ago.
Alnmt forty years ngo tlm staid iuhab
ihttits of central New York took a ureut
liking to nn aetivo young surveyor who
lived in Rubury, n Ruia.li town in Dela
ware county. He arose early in tin'
11101 niiiif slid trumped over the hills nml
vake udj.icet t to where he lived. With
his surveying instruments lie took nu-as-ureiiic
nts, made iiuipn and found a ready
tale for the product of his activity and
brain.
Althoii!;h he w:w a piiirII youth he da !
a vigorous way aUmt him that pletiM-.l
the slow going fanners and deligiiie.l
even the loungers about the postollk'o
and grwery etuuliitied, to whom ho gave
"talks" on Saturday eveningH.
When he left the township and moved
away for good the local prophets saw
great things in store for him, and pre
dicted that some day ho might have
been a selectman of the village if he had
remained, hut they forgot him for years
and only recalled his presence when his
identity with Jay Gould, the famous
financier, was proved t j their astonish
ment. Uoln-rt Fullurton keeps an "old curi
osity shop" on Third avenue near Iiight-
eenth street, where almost any queer
odd sort of thing can bo discovered.
Among the treiimires shown a reporter
was a letter written in 1851 by this saino
young Btirveyor, who could now doubt-
less cash in his assets for a round f 100,-
0110,000, if ho felt so disposed. In tspito
of the fact that Mr. Gould spelled "tres
pass,' 'harutiuitrical" and "damage" iu
a unique way and scattered capital lot
ters to suit himself, the letter looksthor
oughly businesslike, and It may be pre
sumed that Judge Sherman loaned the
"level" he possessed, and that it was re
turned to him in proficr condition.
Tho fact that even as a young man lie
was "connected" with the Nowlmrg and
Syracuse railroad showed his early long
ing for the business in which lie has
made himself known all over tho world.
"It's curious," said Mr. Fullurton,
but you will notice that ho was nut
only connected with one road, but lie
could not rest until he had examined
another route through West Settlement
and Purcs lirook. That ho did things
thoroughly is evident. Tho handwriting
is none of your off hand affairs, but ono
can seo the exactness with winch every
"t" is crossed and tho care with which,
after tho letter is written, words were
inserted to allow of no mistake. The
politeness and auxiety in tho last para
graph of the letter proper are alsoappar
ent, such as an enthusiastic boy could
not fall to put in, knowing that a person
of Judge Sherman's position would be
accustomed to respect as a judge.
"He was also careful to add 'judge at
the beginning, so m to give the recipient
the thrill of pleasure popularly supposed
to mildly shock every tiersou with a
handle to his name. A postscript always
adds to the effect of a letter, for a man
who might thro v away a begging epistle
cannot resist glancing at a postscript,
and the offer of pay for the nso of tho in
strument finished the note.
"lie had evidently not intended to
offer any money nt first, but the thought
of a possible refusal and tho need of an
other anneal probably settled tho mat ter,
It could do no harm, anyway. her

drum and working up the senses or ins
spectators to a pitch of great excite

air before the eyes of all. Civilized
travelers naturally hold that it is a
trick. The Samoiedes themselves de
clare that the power resides in the drum
idol. The peculiar thing is that neither
one party nor the other has been able to
explain how the vanishing t occur.

years, the willow ana the buckeye in
four years, the maple aud the red beech

Blanket is imitated in color and
style. In most cases the imitation
looks just as good as the genuine,
but it hasn't the warp threads, and
so lacks strength, and while it sells
for only a little less than the genu
ine it isn't worth one-half as much.
The fact that sk Horse Blankets
are copied is strong evidence
that they are THE STANDARD,
and every buyer should see that
the & trade mark is sewed on
the inside of the Blanket.
