The whiskey trust is coming to naught, through its own rottenness more than the decisions of the courts. Some boys, who are so weakly that they cannot handle a hoe, can go out in the broiling hot sun and wield a base ball bat all afternoon and never turn a hair. This is one of the mys teriesof nature. Fremont Herald. An old gentleman named Moore went to sleep in the Missouri Pacific depot at Nebraska City Tuesday night and. upon awakening, discovered that he had been "touched" f or SS5 in cold cash and his watch and chain. The officers have as yet been ucable to lo cate the thief. The Maxima Mora claim has come! up to disturb the peace aud quiet be tween the United States and Spain just now.

Martin, Frank Kelly and Christ Ilar man, who broke into the residence of S. II. Hunter, north of the city some time since and were arrested after a long chase, were taken into district court and allowed to plead guilty. Judge Chapman read them a long lec ture on the evil of their ways and asked if they would tell where the jewelry was that they took from the residence, it being understood that if they would tell, their sentences would be about eight months, but they re fused to disclose its whereabouts, so the judge sentenced them to fourteen months each in the penitentiary, at hard labor. There was not a very strong case against the men,but rather than stay in the county jail until No vember and then be sentenced, they informed their attorney, W. M. Clary, that they would rather plead guilty and begin their sentence at once. If the men will tell the whereabouts of the stolen goods, the jndge will modify their sentences.

There will be four stalks in every hill, three ears on every stalk, no ear less than eighteen inches long and three inches in diame ter, with a quart of shelled corn in ev ery husk that could not find room on the cob.
