A Case of Public Spiritedneaa.
That cesspool of filth at the mouth
of the city sewer system, just below
the B. & M. depot, thanks to the gen
erosity and public spiritedness of
Mayor Newell and the 11. A M., win
soon be a thing of the past, and resi
dents of that neighborhood and em
ployes of the railway company whose
health has continually been en
dangered will now breathe with more
ease. From the completion of the
sewer system, in 1888, a deep hole has
existed at the mouth of the sewer,
which has constantly been teeming
with the vilest sort of filth and offal.
A heavy rain would occasionally wash
a portion of the vile stuff out into the
river, but during the present summer
no relief from that source has been
had and the place became a constant
menace to the city's health. At the
last meeting of the city council the
matter was discussed and a commit
tee appointed to take steps to do away
with the evil. It was then that the
mayor and the 13. & M. people came to
the rescue. The committee had de
cided to 1111 the deep hole with rock
and sand-stone, thus allowing the filth
to pass out through the regular sand
bar channel without being deposited
and retained in the deep dole. Mayor
Newell is interested with Atwood &
Co. in the stone quarries at Cedar Creek
and through him the quarry people
donated the necessary stone. The
railway company was then approached
and the company very promptly off ered
to haul the stone to this city free of
charge. Four cars of the stone ar
rived yesterday and today were
switched down on the track near the
sewer mouth, where street comissioner
Marshall and a force of laborers at
once commenced dumping the stone.
It will take several days to complete
the work. The mayor, the quarry
people and the railway company have
the thanks of the entire community
for the substantial manner in which
they have aided in preserving thepub-
lio health.

Eugene Iteed Is Dead.
A telegram from Blackhawk, Col.,
was received last evening by II. D.
lieed from his brother, Fred, saying
that E. L. Reed was killed in the mine
late yesterday afternoon. The
news spread like wildfire through
the town and scores of people waited
anxiously for further particulars of
the tragedy. His friends, numbered
by hundreds, deeply sympathize with
the afflicted family. Clint, his young
est son, is here on a visit. lie is al
most prostrated under the blow that
has come upon him so suddenly. At
this late date, 2 p. m., no additional
particulars have been received. Weep
ing Water Eagle, Sept. 5.
Mr. Reed's unhappy fate will be sin
cerely regretted by scores of old set
tlers throughout the county, where
he has been widely known and res
pected for many years.
A Novel Honey Moon.
A young married couple last week
arrived at Ileno, Nev., from Chicago,
having travelled all the way on the
blind baggage. They went from Chi
cago on the Northwestern and
were seen to get off the train at Omaha
by a Uuion depot policeman
lie supposed that they had
merely ridden over from the transfer,
and so said nothing. They were seen
to go up town, and that was the last
of them. From information received
yesterday from Reno the couple ac
complished the unique trip in just nine
days. The couple were married in July,
and the husband, who was abrakeman
for the Illinois Central in Chicago, lost
his position because of the strike.
They saw their savings rapidly disap
pear and also the little home and
furniture. He had friends at Reno
and so they determined to go there.
They had just enough money left to
buy food for the trip and an occasional
night's lodging, but not enough to pay
the railroad fare. Nothing daunted
he suggested the blind baggage and
she pluckily accepted the challenge as
the only means of reaching Keno.
They are now the attraction of the
town at Reno and both have secured
work and are now on the highway to
prosperity.

Geo. Stohlman, one of the best
known farmers out in the neighbor
hood of College Hill, took it into his
head on a recent warm night to sleep
on a porch outside of his house. The
porch was a high one, and during his
slumbers George tumbled off onto the
ground, sustaining bruises which will
keep him about the house for some
time. Hereafter Mr. Stohlman will
stick closer to his bed. 1

Yesterday's Lincoln News says:
"The Missouri Pacific is still cutting
down expenses. This morning an or
der went into effect closing the tele
graph ofllces at Sprague, Kramer,
Walton, Burr, Panama, Avoca, Glen
Rock, Manley , Padonia and Rlooming-
ton, Kan. This relieves on an average
two operators, the work hereafter de
volving upon the station agents. More
reductions are slated in the near fu
ture." Two of the stations, Avoca and
Manley, are in this county. The
handling of grain constituted the en
tire business at both station, and the
big shortage in the corn crop thus

tors. Deafnesa Cannot be Cured
liy local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion ot the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflamma
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an intlamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars. tree.
