Rattlesnake, The most painful article we haye been forced to chronicle for some time, happened at the house of Mr. W. N Webb, who lives about four miles northwest of Elliot, several evenings since, Mr. Wabb's child, a bright lit tle girl, while playing in the yard was heard to scream, and its mother run ning out got there in time to sea a large rattlesnake glide off. Mr. Webb was in the field a long distance off and it took the frightened mother some time to summons him, so that before the child could be brought -to town, something iike an hour and half had elapsed. By that tiMe the poison had spead all .over the little one and she died the next morning. Avoca Herald The co:naiittee appointed by the Fair and Driving association, to viait the grounds, locate the different build ings and draft plans for the work neces sary ip ho doue to put the grounds in shape tor fair purpose?, completed their work this week and in a short time their plans will be in the bauds of those se cured to put them into effect. Jt is claimed by those competent to judge that the race course and the grounds generally will be second to none in the state, when completed.

( An Attempted Rape. Yesterday morning, the foul crime of an attempt at rape was perpetrated n this city a crime too abhorrent to be mentioned without every good citi zen feeling sliauia that such beastly acts come to paES in our city ; and this is the second crime of that nature the public ha3 been given here during the last few months. John Spiitthoff.'the man who made tho attempt, is a for eigner, coming to this country from Holland, about a year ago, and being employed in the boiler department of the B. & M. shops here as a helper. The child upon whom he attempted to" perpetrate he crime, is the six year old daughter of George Grebe, a German, and a machinist in the shops. Splitthoff has been occupying a room in the same htU4; with Mr. Grebe's laruily, boardiug himself in his room. Yesterday murning Splitthoff enticed the little child into his room locking the door and then attempting the act which doo not nesd or will riot be par ticularized:'1 Shortly afterward, the father learning ot tin: affair, brought the child down town to Dr. Schild- knecht's office, where the Dr. examined her and found that' she happily had escaped any serious injury. Chief of Police Sage was at once dis patched to arrest Splitthoff, whom he found on Main street, and at' once lodged him in jal. -This mornilig he was brought before Police Judge Wiu tersteen, when an interpreter was pro cured and the warrant read to hi in, to which he plead guilty, and the present necessity of taking evidence was thus obviated, Judge Wintersteeu binding him over to the comiug term of court in the :sum or two inousanu dollars, and having no chauce of bail, he was lauded in the jail. Splithoff is a man twenty-five years of age, and does not look to be the dirty scamp that he is. He has em ployed no counsel as vet, and is either ignorant of the enormity of his crime or else is very indiffer-nt as to results. The temper of this r . .munity is not smoothed in the learon7 such dastardly crimes as this, and the mutterings are man', while expressions that hanging is too good for such fellows, are fre quent. ' The little girl. Agnes Grebe, is a bright child, only six years of age, and it i3 littte wonder when such crimes as this come to light, that this, or any community become exasperated, and demand with one voice, punishment for the offender to the full extent of the law. A little six-year old child in the hand3 of such a man, pppeals stronger than words to the right of any "com niunity onexorable justice and the fall andrcomplete extent of the law in puuishmg the brute. ' . fX' Broken Bone. MathewFeather, a young man in the employ in the employ of Dan. D. Johnson, met with a serious misfortune on Thursday last. While holding S R. Lamont, his employer's trotter, by the lariat, the animal became playful and in his gambols kicked Mr. Feather, breaking the thigh bone of the right leg ia a -shocking manner, the frac-- tured " bones' penetrating the flesh and producing " a . yeny aggravating woun4 Drs. Thomas & Hall were summoned and set the broken member, and at the present writing the patient is doing as well as could be expected. Weeping Water Republican. ."

M Boxs. The Memorial services held in Rock wood Hall yesterday afternoon were largely attended, although it is a la mentable fact that the larger part of the audience arrived at the Hall alter the services were more than half con cluded. Elder Burton, of the Christian church, preached a strong and abl sermon which was listened to with tho closest attention, despite the interrup tions made by late comers. The Elder closed his discourse by reading an ap propriate poem, and all who attended the services felt that it was good to be present, and that the occasion and the service was a mo9t appropriate one. - The following are among the arri vals at the Perkins: F II Hall Lincoln; C S Hart Lincoln C S Hungeford Chicago; O M Rurhana Staplehurst, Neb.; C F Price New York; W C Orthey Chicago; C F Whitney, city ; John Clements Elm wood; II J Stave Chicago; Wra Stokes, Daniel Briggs Peoria; August Meyer Omaha; .u-B&um St. Joe; S E Barackman agent Boston Minstrels; F L Miller Burling ton. . . .

Splithoff, the rapist, now in jail told a reporter this morning that whisky was the trouble with him. He said he bought a pint Saturday night and was drinking it buuday morning. How ever, Policeman Sage says ho was sober when he arrested him. and it was likely a dodge under which Splithoff tried to shield himself. Crown Mills Flonr. W. F.
