Heavy Rainfall Near Pender. Pender, Neb., June C. The heaviest raia season visited this neighborhood last Monday night accompanied by hail and wind.

About 12 o'clock Monday night during a terrific shower, lightning struck the house of N. D. Jackson and completely wrecked it. The most marvelous part of the accident was that none of the family, which con sisted of Mr. Jackson, his wife anh three children, were injured. About two hours later fire was discovered in the ruins but was extinguished befor? it h.?d burned much, Murder at Culbertson. Culeektson, Neb., June 5. A little before noon today, John B.

The body of an unknown man was found this morn ing five miles west of Fremont, near the railroad track, by the crew of a passing train. Coroner Abbott, of this city, was summoned and an Inquest was held on the body at Ames. The coroner s jury, after weighing all the fhctsand surround ing circumstances, returned a yerdict to the effect that the deceased came to nis death by mans of a blow upon his head, crushing his skull, but when, where and how the blow was administered they were unable to tell. The man was de cently dressed and evidently not a tramp. Two letters were found on his person written at Wahoo, and as nearly as could be deciphered the signature to the letter was "Mrs. Ii. McGng Meagher." The body was brought to Fremont and unlefs identisled will be buried in the potter's field. Washed offthe Boat. WisKEit, Neb., June C. The high wat er of last week swept away the iron bri.lje over the Elkhorn, opposite Wisner, and the citizens constructed a temporary flit boat for the erasing of foot passeng ers.

The ladles of the stage, perhaps evea more than their non-professional sisters, are careful of the preservation of their charms. Like most of that sex commonly known as "the sex." they make a corporal application of "baby powder," etc., after the bath, and are not innocent of various powders and cosmetics on other occasions. Probably many of them go in for less in nocuous dryers, softeners and beautifiers after ablution than the "baby powder." Let them ieware, for they may suddenly have to sacrifice to Venus on the other side of the Styx. Here is a tale for their ears. Fran Frohn, a German actress of excellent reputation, died a few days ago in Berlin in a somewhat extraordinary manner. On leaving her bath she powdered herself with some sort of veloutine. Then she cleaned her nails with the point of a pair of scissors. She stuck herself on a finger, and the perfumed powder got into the slight wound. Instantly the finger be gan to swell, and the doctors who were called in were unable to stop the poison ous progress of the veloutine. The finger was amputated, and then the hand, but nothing was of any use. and the un fortunate woman died in the most hor rible spasms. New York Herald. Beaten at IV . Own Game. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," said the ancient Hebrews, and s Confederate soldier describes an incident which occurred during the halt of his regiment at Fort Clifton: It occurred to a man picketing the river bank that It would be amusing to take careful aim at the man on the other side doing the same duty for the enemy, fire, laugh to see the fellow jump and dodge, and then try again. lie fired, laughed, dropped his musket to reload, and. while smiling with satisfaction, heard the "thud of a bullet and felt an agonizing pain in his arm. His musket fell to the ground, and he walked back to camp with his arm swing ing heavily at his side. Tho surgeon soon relieved him of it altogether. The poor fellow learned a lesson. The "Yank" had beaten him ay his own game. Youth's Companion. Venezuela's Cable Railway. A cable railway is to be built from Caracas to La Guaj-ra, Venezuela, under special concessions from the Venezuelan srovernment. Caracas is the capital of Venezuela and La Guayra is the principal 3eaport of the republic. They are only about sixteen miles apart, but are sepa-, nded by high mountains, which have heretofore prevented easy corutuunirati" n 't is proposes! to tunnel the mountains mcl carry the cable road thrti;!i ihe nnncl Tl:e company fiii:trant-e to ii:5iv.!... !: road in thre years, and to chu.-gv a iriflf vnryin.' fieri ninety s:. reu:?' t. i:y stw: rents for euch passenger. stou 1 r.ui.-ict it irairttns the German Soldier. The German olaim that tbeir musketry instruction is enough better than the French to make up for the superiorty of the French tnugaiinc rifle. The lleeres Zeitung declar ing recently in a confident tone tbat "a fairly good rLQtf in the bands of marksmen we!', commanded, all else being equal, la more effective than a superior rifle can be in slov enly and too confident hands." No one will doubt the truth of this who has snen large bodies of troops at work at the butts, nor can those who know bow careful is Ger man military instruction doubt tbat the arm used by German troops will be made the most of, so far as untiring drill will suffice to make up for natural awkwardness. But tbe men from tbe farming districts, tbe Bauerleute, especially those from Saxony, Wurtemberg and Hanover, have big, clumsy fingers, and those who have seen the time they make over the simple and heavy apparatus of tbe needle gun will be slow to believe tbat they can ap proach tbe French in the skillful use of tbe mechanism of tbe magasine rifle. Under the new regulations the German soldier is taught to fire standing, kneeling, lying down, behind a parapet, from a shelter trench, behind a tree, and at a running target. Attempts are making to teach the soldier how to Judge distance by sound, that s to say, by the striking of the first bullet fired; and knowing tbe adjustment of the sights and the wind gauges for three ranges, 400, 800 and 1,200 meters, be is expected to be able to estimate a new range by means of these known points in his practice firing. Scientific American. Beading In Rail Cars. Reading while riding in rail cars or in omnibuses is to be avoided. The rapid shaking, trembling or oscillating motion of tbe cars makes it very difficult to keep tbe eyes fixed upon tbe words, and is very tire some. 1 have seen many persons who attrib uted the failure of their eyes to tbe daily habit of reading while riding to and from tbe city. Children should be cautioned against reading with tbe bead inclined forward. The stooping position encourages a rush of blood to tbe bead, and conse quently the eyes become congested and the foundations for nearsightedness are laid. Professor David Webster, M.

New York Mail and x press. An Ancient Hurled Forest. During tho hito violent storms la the English channel the sea washed through a high and hard sandbank near St MaTo, almost fonr meters thick, laying bare a portion of an ancieut forest, which was already passing into the condition of coal. The London Times says "This foivsl at the beginning of our era covered an ex tensive tract of tho coast, but with the sinking of the laid it became submerged and covered np by the drifting sand Mont Saint Michel once stood in the middle of it. The forest had quite disappeared by the middle of the Tenth century Oc casionally, at very low tides after storiua. remains of it are disclosed, just as at present. It is believed that some cent urles ago the highest tides rose about twelve meters above the level of the lowest ebh. Now the high water level is 15.3 meters above the lowest." llomo Journal. No Longer a Trade. "Baseball," said John Ward a eoep'e of days ago to a newspaper man. "used to bo a trade; now it is a profession No mere mechanic can play ball as it is played these days. Before a man can properly Gil an important position in a first class club at tho present time he must he so thoroughly absorbed in the game that he must, figuratively speaking, eat, drink and sleep baseball and nothing else, lie mustn't allow his mind to wander to any thing outside the game, or ho is lost.

Tho son turned swiously ill one day, and the symptoms proving very alarming a doctor was grudgingly sent for. The doctor ar rived in due time, and.
