As the freight train went crush ing into the platfrom last evening Chet Smith says "judas priest" and he followed his nose up the track to Pacific Junction and came back this morning inquiring what the excitment about town was all about. The prospects for a fairly large crop in Nebraska continues good, The unduly wet weather during the earlier part of the season, doubtless rendered it difficult to properly cultivate the corp. but growing weather of late cannot fail to insure us a reasonably good yield throughout the state. That laboring men are to derive benefit from the new eight hour law is open to question. It appears to be generating strife and conten tion where formerlj', contentment and good feeling prevailed. Not only has the smelter been com pelled to shut down, but the job printers, brick-layers, plummers, and carpenters are assuming the role of dictators. It seems that the f laborers should be satisfied with the provisions of this law, and settle down to work, as it is certain ly liberal in its provisions and embodies all that the inost extreme labor demagogues have asked. Being overstocked with light double and single buggy harness, carriage dusters, robes, fly nets, stable sheets and a very large as sortment of ladies' and gentlemen's saddles, I will sell the above stock for the next thirty days at and be low cost. tf W.

For many days the city has been stirred to its utmost depths by stories of the coming battle and many a family has been broken and seared by a vague fealing of unrest. For days past hare W. L. Brown, Mike Murphy, Kelly Fox. D. C. Mc Ginty, C. W. Sherman, Byron Clark and Kd Oliver and others of their ilk been boasting of the triumph that was to be; and yesterday they earned a noble victory. They way laid and sand-bagged an elongated swindle-shanked mass of humanity and a cold unfeeling crowd wept not, neither did it wail. To picture it:- Mike Murphy, weight M7, Bill Brown. 372; McGinty, weight .'i.r9; W.

Ami Todd, armed to the teeth, offici ated as umpire and by rank de cisions forever blasted his pros pects for the county treasurership. He was notoriously in favor of the iats and dark rumors of corrupt practices and growlers were numer ous. McGinty went into the box for the fats and pitched a fine game, Coun cilman Browne with awe, essayed to catch but owing to his geat corpo r osity and the slimness of the pro tector and in a measure to his great brain cap and such a small mask he was forced to retire to second left field. His inability to hold Mc Ginty's sharp in and out drops greatly amused the audience. He distinguished himself, however, at the bat pounding Dickson all over the lot. In the lirst inning he knocked the ball over the fence for a home run bringing in Lumber Deal Bill Browne in front of him. The race from third to home was Very exciting. Dave also made a marvelous catch of a high hit fowl after a long run winning wild ap plause. In the midst of the uproar some villian in the grand stand started to whistle "Down Went Mc Ginty,'' and he now sleeps beneath the daisies. Mc went into catch in the fourth inning and W. Kell3r Fx pitched the game out. Kelly will have to brace up and put more Kn- glish on 'em or Dickson will knock him out of the box this fall. Henry Bons had an exciting col lision on first base with Hackney of the Riley hotel and the slim man got first blood. Mike Murphy and Bill Cushing did the principal base running for the fats and their slides to bases were immense. Claus Brekenfeld officiated as coacher and his violent demonstra tions at times caused apprehension among his colleagues. Buck Adams played second but for fear of being protested called himself Byron Clark. He fielded in marvelous style. Dickson and Gering pitched for the leans and Gering has signed as change pitcher with the Nonpareils He has a good head and when he thought that the batsman meditated hitting the ball he gave him his base on balls. At one time he be came enraged at the umpire and Todd had to press him with his little finger to restore the equilib rium of his mind. Dr. Humphrey and Roe Craig both became afflicted in their lower limbs during the game and fell to the ground with unusual speed and vigor. Frank Morgan became abstracted during a delay in the game and tried to coax Showalter to buy a new hat of him. Showalter was rescued after a great loss of wind and played the game out under po lice protection. Fred Herrmann tried to use Fd Oliver's ear for a tax receipt in the third inning and greatly amused the spectators. Windham on lirst played the game of his life. Unruh, Oliver and Carruth and numerous others of the fraternity request that no mention be made of their short-comings and we gladly comply with their request. Carruth was a little weak at the bat and when he faced Matt Gering he was visibly otTected. Olivet played professional ball and gave the lean pitchers a choice roast. I'uruh will get his work in today. Score. Fats 4 S 2 6 S-2S Leans 2 3 2 10 1- IS Hits Leans 2, Fats 17. Krrors Leans 97, Fats 76.

Almost a Wreck, Last evening about 7:4.r) as the fast stock train No. 64 was passing the depot it narrowly escaped a disas trous wreck caused by the derailing of three cars. The train was com posed of eighteen palace stock cars loaded with cattle and hogs for the eastern market. As the train pass ed through just ahead of passenger No. 8 the plattform was full of peo ple, who barely escapedfl being hurt as the train was running at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour when it struck the switch at the north end of the depot where three cars in the middle of the train de railed and tried to go down the track east of the depot while the rest of the train passed on the west side, but a rail breaking on the east trackallowed the cars to be pulled back along the side of the main track tearing up the plattform for a distance of nearly one hundred feet No further damage was done more than delaying traffic for about two hours while the cars were being put back on the track. lhe cause ot the accident is sup posed to be a defective wheel under the first cj " derailed and that the switch was not quite closed. No blame is laid to anyone for the ac cident. It is the prevailing opinion that had the train been making the speed it generally makes the results would have been attended with great disastrous results.

At 3 o'clock this morivng ot'- cit izens were arroused by the alarm of fire and in a short tiitie hundreds of willing workers were at the scene The fire started in the rear of the building occupied by the "Racket Store" but it was soon under con troll. The goods were but little damaged by fi-e but were a total loss by water. The origin of the fire is a mystery as no fire was kept in the room during the day. The insurance on the goods was $1,500 which will probably cover the loss. The front of the building wa3 considerably damaged. Come in To-day and examine the shoes offered in our sample sale. Wjti. Herold & Son. tf Thos. Bolan, a farmer living near i the citjr, indulged to too great an extent last evening and grew hilar- ous. utficer pitzpatricK starteu him home but he returned and drove down Main street at a rapid rate. He started to drive across the track when Officer Fitz patrick stopped him. The police believe that if he had been allowed to go he would have driven into the river. Attention Shoe Wearers!
