A KKAKKi i. crime, the murder of two
Bisters, has been committed in Seward
county on the farm of John I.eavitt
There is yet no clue to the perpetrators.
'J he crime was committed Sunday night
while the rest of the family were at
church.
It is doubtbss the ' third city" ques
tion will long be dispute l, for llat:s
mouth seems to be advancing as rapidly
and with equil advantages of any city in

T11 eke are doubtless people in Platls
mouth who have never been out over
Cass county cyen a few miles to see what
the beauty of the land they live in is.
All such will liud it healthful to take a
few hours' walk or drive these pleasant
morniugs or evenings.
To look upon an orchard, vineyard, or
berry patch this summer in Cass county
and behold trees, bushes and vines laden
to breaking with fruit of the fuust qual
ities, makes one want to weep for the
foolishness of the mortals that thought
(years ago) that it wouldn't pay to culti
vate Nebraska soil.
The St. Louis RepublO: is 0110 of the
bitter Bourbon organs that want Demo
crats to get together. It says: "The late
dinner of the Young Men's Democratic
Club of New York did not appear to set
well on Governor Hill's stomach. His
freinds charge that there was too much
sauce in the bill of fare."
A company has been formed in San
Francisco for laying an electric cable
across the Pacific Ocean to Honolulu,
nnd it is expected the cable will be com
menced in about eighteen months. Thus
the globe will soon be encircled with an
electric belt, which which will be some
thing wonderful the idea of man put
ting a belt around mother earth but she
must keep up to the times.
Iris to be hoped that Chief Justice
Fuller will take n early opportunity to
fcilenee the talk that already connects his
name with the Democratic nomination for
the presidency in 1892. It need not be
be difficult to do I hi. His predecessor,
Mr. Waitc, found it easy to ear the few
words needed to take the chief justiceship
oat of politics so long as he lived.
The London lU'mts, in speaking of the
Samoan treaty, says: "It is not Kss plain
that Germany would be compelled to
think twice or thrice before provoking a
collision with America on such a question
as Samoa. We can not but rejoice,
therefore, that the influence of the United
States has been so moderately yet so
effectually exerted." There is a differ
ence between diplomats and also a differ
ence in the appreciation of their work.
The English do not laugh at the diplo
macy of the present administration.
There is no better state for farmiug
than Nebraska, and notably Cass county.
Illinois, the great farm state of the Miss
issippi valley is this summer bearing a
rich harvest of small grain and fruit and
hay is good but too much rain to cut it,
while corn is holding back on account of
rain also. Bat of course there is plenty
of time for these hindrances to be over
come this summer, yet with the best pros
pect of Illinois crops this season realized,
they will not surpass Cass county. The
writer has just returned from Illinois and
and through Iowa, and generally the
farms are rich in their production, but
we are convinced Nebraska is equal to
my.

A Traveling Man Creates Great Ex
citement in the Empire House
Independence, Iowa, Oct. 14, 188S.
Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jackson, Mich:
Gentb: Yoijr Mr. Brooks came here
tonight and registered as agent for Hib
bard's Rheumatic Syrup, and as ho did
so it awakened iu me an interest ucyer
before realized in a guest at my house.
You will not wonder at it when I tell
you the story, ror yeara I have been
greatly afflicted with inflammatory rheu
matism, the pain and soreness of the
joints at times being almost unbearable;
could move about only with the aid of
crutches. Jn addition to this Liy stomach
became badly diseased, and neuralgia set
in, which threatened to end my day. A
traveling man stopping with me gave
quite a history of your Syrup, and the
peculiarities of its combination, which
induced me to try it. I hava taken six
bottles and no act in my life affords me
greater satisfaction than in writing you
I am a well man.
It will be a pleasure for me to answer
any communications, for I believe it to
be the best remedy ever formulated.

Orleans in tho Lleventli century
weighed l.ut 2,(0 mnds, being then
tho largest in the world. In the thir
teenth century bella of one, two and
three tons weight were not rare. In the
year 1-100 tho Jacqueline was cast at
Paris, the first of the great Dens, weign

Tho lartrest IjcII in tho world at the
present time, or that ever has been, is
the famous King of Iiells, now at Mos

1732, partly from fragments or anotner
great bell called tho Giant, winch was
broken in the early part or the oeveu-
teenti, century by falling from its sup-
port.

ovn, lW. no nirmv. as the
roa(jer uiay infer Ul)0n being informed
that its weight was not less than 288,000
pounds!
It is said to have taken the coui-
bined strength of twenty-lour men to
ring the Giant in his palmy days. Tho
King of Bells, like the Giant, has had the
misfortune to get broken. Five years af
ter it was cast, in 1737, during a great
fire, a heavy timber fell against the King
and broke an immense three cornered
piece from its side, leaving a gap wide
enough to admit two men walking abreast.
It is now on the ground and is said to have
been used about ten years ago as a place
of worship, tho gap in the sido serving as
a means of ingress and egress. The wri
ter is aware that this sounds like a fairy
story, but surely there is nothing about
it in the least improbable, inasmuch as
the monster is 19 feet 3 inches in height
and GO feet 9 inches around the mar
gin! The weight of this colossal folly hag
been variously given, but never less than
443,000 pounds! Think of it, 220 tons. By
eome erross carelessness several hundred
pounds of gold wero said to have been
incoriiorated in its composition. Russia
leads the world in the matter of great
bells, Moscow also claiming second place
in the world's championship in its bt.
Ivan's, which weighs 127,830 pounds. It
is 10 inches in thickness, and 40 feet 9
inches in circumference,
China has several largo bells, for, ac
cording: to Father Le Compte, Pekin has
seven bells, each of which weighs 120,000
pounds.
.The great bell at Vienna, Austria,
weighs 40,200 pounds. The largest bell
in Ikmemia, that at Olrautz, weighs ex
actly 40.000 pounds. "Big Ben," the
pride of London, would look like a farm
house dinner bell compared with the
monster of Moscow above mentioned,
weighing but fifteen tons. "Big Ben
is not the largest bell of London, how
ever, St. Paul's cathedral having one
which weighs 38,470 pounds. The larg
est bell on that wonderful piece of archi
tecture, St. Peter's cathedral at Rome,
weighs but 18,000 pounds; hardly two
thirds the size of the largest bell in
America, that at Montreal, which weighs
2S,5G0. John W. Wright in St. Louis
Republic.
A Substitute for Glass.
The new translucent substance intend
ed as a substitute for glass has been sat
isfactorily adopted in some of the public
buildings in London, and various auvan
tages are claimed for it, among these
being such a degree of pliancy that
it may be bent backward and forward
like leather, and be subjected to very
considerable tensile strain with impunity
it is also almost as translucent as glass
and of a pleading amber coior, varying
in shade from a very light golden to pale
brown. Tho basis of the materials is a
web of fine iron wire, with warp and
weft threads about one-twelfth inch
apart, this being inclosed, like a fly in
amber, in a sheet or translucent varnisli
of which tUo base is linseed oLL There
is no resin or gum in the vainj&h, anq
onco having become dry it is capable of
standing heat and damp without under
going any change, neither hardening nor
becoming sticky. Briefly, the manufac
ture is accomplished by dipping the sheets
edgewise into deep tanks of varnish and
then allowing tho coating which they
thus receive to dry in a warm atmosphere.
It requires somewhat more than a dozen
of these dips to bring the sheets to the
required degree of thickness, and when
this has been accomplished the material
is stored for several preekg to fhcrougfclf
set. Chicago Times.
TTanted a New Assistant.
A short 6tory comes down from a small
lumber camp in Wisconsin, showing the
peculiar manner a Swede had of express
ing himself. Tnis Swede was tha 'dobo"
of a river gang, but, as the work was
very light, tho "gang" consisted of only
one man, and ho had what might be
called a "soft snap." One day the boss
went to the superintendent and said he
wanted another man. The official looked
at him in wonder. "Another man," he
said; "why, ypu dnt have half enough
work for the man you have; what in the
world do you want of another one?"
"Dot mans," replied the boss in a sober
and matter-of-fact manner, "was went

dinks he vas quit." Chicago Herald.

A Polish novelist, JL Sienkewicz, was
recently made happy by the receipt of a
check for 2,000 from a total stranger,
who stated that he had been so pleased
at reading one of the author's works that
nothing lass than the sum mentioned
qould express his feelings. The conti
nental papers suggest that the example
is a good one to follow, and that if all
good novelists were thus appreciated
there would be less poverty among wri
ters. San Francisco Chronicle.
