Lincoln Journal: The telegraph
columns of the Omaha Woi'Id are on.c
times fearfully and wonderfully con
structed. The hopeless jumbling of two
dispatches the other day resulted in an
article far more humorous than anything
that has appeared on its editorial pag
for many a day. By this interesting
mixture a construction train was made t
enter Mrs Carter's room, killing several
calyes and injuring a number of people.

A boy by the name of Sitzman broke
into th store of E. G. Dovey & Son yes
terday by cutting through the screen t
the basement door. His entrance was
observed and reported to City Clerk Fox.
who "laid for him." After a while ' tlie
boy appeared with three oranges, ami
that, was all the plunder he had taken.
In the hands of the clerk the boy plead .
and offered excuses, and finally con
fessed? No. He offered Clerk Fox fif
teen cents next week if he would let
bim go. But the worthy clerk was not
to be Lribed and the lad was turned over
to the care of his father with a report of
his misdemeanor. It was a pitiable act, for
the boy doubtless did not realize what
he was guilty of, and it is a thing to be
hoped for that he will learn better and
do better as he grows older, when pun
ishment will be severe.
Today has been a continuance of the
mast disagreeable state the elements have
been in this spring. The promises of
rain which the clouds have given for sev
eral days has not yet been fulfilled, and
the strong south wind carries dust aud
aind into every open door or window of
the house and there it stays, and gives
all the household goods a disagreeable
touch and look. To be on the street, it's
all right till you encounter a wagon load
of dirt being premiscuously distributed
ou all personal property, and it is espec
ially delighted to light in the eyes, get
into the mouth and grind around the
taeii; to make them feel like they didn't
fit. JJofc then that's not all, the sun
dhines hotly nd by the aid of the dust
works the pedeawiaas up to that state of
ieeling which is generally observed in a
.crowd after a three hoars' wait for a
fourth of July procession. i
THIRSTY LANDS.
The Crassee, Cralns, and Crops on
a Stand Still.
Fanners are beginning to wonder what
will turn up or how they will be able to
manage things, and it is already a ques
tion of feed with them, for their stock,
on account cf the dry weather. The dry
fall and winter let the spring open with
a dry soil, but enough rain fell to Btart
all vegetation early and healthfully, but
the lack of frequent rains has kept back
the luxuriant growth which should now
be enjoyed by all grasses and small grain.
The grass, or pasture, which has not
yet been grazed upon this spring is far
enough advanced to furnish pasture for
a short time but its growth is too slow
with this dry weather to support any
amount of stock, and that grass which
has been pastured since the first of April
is eiUen down to tho ground and the
land cannot continue to furnish grass
without rain. All farmers, of course.
have their li ye stock which now ought
to be out at pasture, but they say tho
pasture will not support their stock.
Some of them have enough hay to feed
into the summer if need be but others
have not. Some good rains would
bring them out in shape but if their pas
ture land faiu much longer their stock
will be in the way.
But the small grain which came up so
nicely early in the season is also at a
aUnditill, and these hot dry winds hurt
the crop a "bushel a day." Yet none of
the crops are really damaged thus far the
need of rain is felt on all sides, anal the
farmers (and all other people; live in
hope from day to day. Wells and
springs still flow freely though, and if
dry weather does not seriously interfere,
the season will be a very fruitful one.
A Snide Firm.
Several weeks ago the Herald receifed
a reading notice from a so called Delos
Staples, of Portland. Michigan, with a
uromise that if it were inserted and bill
sent the sum would prcaiptly be remitted.
Not being able to fnd or trace any re
sponsibility to the name of Delos Staples
the proposition was consigned to the
waste basket. The notice which it was
desired we should insert was a "Descrip
tion of the Blueberry," which would
Sourish in this climate, bear heavily, was
very useful, etc., with Delos Staples as
sole agent. Every since then the state
exchanges which come to our tables by
the dozen have largely contained a "De
scription of the Blueberry," and not the
Nemaha County Grungtr prpvesthe first
one to have the last chapter of the atory
which is like this:
Some weeks since we received an ad
yei tUment headed "Description of the
Blueberry," with the lequest that the
same be run for a specified time in our
columns, and that the bill for the same
be forwarded to Delos Staples, Portland,
Michigan. We are not in the habit of
placing advertisements in our columns
without first receiving pay therefor or
ascertaining that, the advertiser is reliable
but in this case we first geye the "ad"
place and then sent the bill. Receiving
no aniwr, we drew on Mr. Staples thro'
the- bank. Our draft was returned, the
banker writing that he had sever been
able to collect anything from the party
oa whom the draft was drawn. We be
came satisfied that we were sold, but as
we had no thoughts of the party being a
dead beat for anything but for the sake
of securing advertiseing free we made no
mf-ntion. On Saturday Mr. John Lewis
of Aspinwall precinct called and in
formed us that he had sent an order to
this man Staples, but no reply, and that
he had since written two letters, but no
answer. The renders of the Granger can
take the hint and conclude,ns we do,that
Delos Staples of Portland, Michigan, is a
fraud.
The Herald publishes this account to
warn its Cass county readers against the
firm if they have been tempted through
any advertisement they have read, and
as advice through other people's exper
ience to buy and order nursery stock
through home dealers.

Extracts from the first number of the
Kingfisher, (Oklahoma,) foomer, of
April 27. 1889:
'"Hafe Thimblerigger paid us a pleas
ant visit yesterday and told us he had
just won a fine quarter section at a shoot
ing match witii a tender foot. He paid
the funeral expenses himself. Rafe is a
gentleman.''
"We learn that seven new towns start
ed west of this place oyerlap each other
very seriously. One man from Illinois
lives in three of them all at once and is
running for mayor of all of them."
"Coroner Goosefelter is so far behind
in his work that he requests us to inform
his patrons that he is doing the best he
can. His friends will oblige him by not
making efforts to increase his business at
this time."
"Jim Triggers called on us yesterday
and traded us a nickel-plated derringer
for a year's subscription to the Boomer.
He got the derringer from the man who
died suddenly after calling Jim a hcrac
tliicf. Come again, Jim."
"There will be a faro game and a Sun
day school running in this town tomor
row. All are inyited."
"The new cemetery south of town is
meeting with general favor."
"If any reader of the Boomer sees any
thing that he does'nt like in this paper
we will gladly take it back in our next

-The question is puzzling some minds
whether or no the old Presbyterian
church building will be torn down. The
fact is the building stands just on theline
where the plans for the hotel building
places the dinning room, and for that
purpose the church will be used, the
hotel being built up around it.

The roint of View.
"Ic all depends upon the point of
view," is a phrase that has passed into a
proverb. It3 truth is illustrated anew
every day, but perhaps not often more
strikingly than it was in the case of a
wealthy railroad man, who, in company
with a journalist, not long ago visited
Pike's Peak, in Colorado, aud was shown
a magnificent prospect of the mountain
across a rocky gorge.
"Fine, fine, isn't it?" exclaimed the
journalist.
"Fine? I don't tlunk so," said the
ailroad man. "How are you going to
iuii a railroad here?"
Here is another illustration of the
"point of view:"
"Wo call the tiger," said a vegetarian
philosopher, "a ferocious beast; but
what would we men be called if, for in
stance, mutton chops could speak?"
