Thre new crocery houses, a new harness store and shop, and an en larged clothing house in town, .all within a month, are substantial evi dences of renewed prosperity in Platts mouth. Don't mistake the signs of the times. What will a woman shoo the chick ens with when she wears bloomers? Alieady the song of the locust has been heard in the land and according to an old saw there will be a killing Host six weeks from the time they are first heard. Irl Hicks also says that we will have a frost in this section the second week in September. Nebraska City News. East year we heard a good deal about farmers "moving away from drought stricken Nebraska' We note with pleasure that enough farmers staged in the state to this year fatten their pockets with a round $100,000,000 lor the grand crops of every kind in all parts of the state. A year of disaster occasionally cornea to the most favored section of the world. Inter-Ocean. The board is putting up a modernized show, which must prove a revelation notonly to Nebraskans, but to visitors from abroad. Bee. A fatal disease is prevailing among the hogs in some parts of Sarpy county and several farmers have lost largely from the epidemic. Various remedies have been tried, but the disease seems alnmst impossible to control. The state lair association lias begun a campaign against allowing any cir eus to exhibit in Omaha during fair week. They claim that it would be detrimental to t he interests of thefair and should not be allowed. They will secure the introduction of an ordi nance to that effect at the next meet ing of the city council, and expect to have it passed. Defaulting Treasurer Taylor of South Dakota admits in open court that he embezzled well on to $400,000. Thereupon the judge sentenced him to five years in the penitentiary. If Tay lor had stolen a span of horses or forged a ten-dollar bill he would have been sent up for fifteen or twenty years. There is an apple tree in Chesire, Conn., that is 150 years old, and bears 120 bushels of apples every year. Such a tree as that is of more value to the world than a great many menand women. II. J. Malin, a young man employed in the Hammond packing houses at South Omaha, ran a truck into an elevator shaft Friday morning and ell four stories. He was instantly killed. Durant, the San Francisco murderer is apparently doomed. The evidence against him is strong and conclusive, and there seems to be no hope of his escaping the gallows. Speaking of the removal of S. 1'. Iolloway as deputy tax collector, deputy County Treasurer Pollock said to a reporter today, that nobody in the reasury had anything to do with it ave the treasurer himself. He ad mitted that they knew it was to be done, but Mr. Eickhoff took all the responsibility of the removal. The Journal gives Mr. Pollock the bene fit of this denial with pleasure. The ex-pugilist, John L. Sullivan, has applied for a saloon license in Bos ton. He will start in with one good customer. A good orchard in this county, well cared for, will turn off from $50 to $200 per acre yearly. Why should not our land owners go into fruit raising. After much advertising in the pa pers the populists met in convention at the Taylor school house Saturday evening. Wm. Gilmore was made chairman and J. M. Kiser secretary, and they proceeded to elect delegates to the pop county convention. First Kiser would nominate Gilmore. and then Gilmore would nominate Kiser and thus they filled the whole dele gation and then all the nominees were declared elected. As our informant says, the precinct is entitled to thirteen delegates, the two gentlemen named above will be entitled to cast six and one-half votes apiece. If there are Within the past week Charles Ger- ger. a farmer living east of York, has ost four head of cattle from the sup posed effects of eating second-growth sorghum. A few days ago he turned two cows into a patch of sorghum to eed. and they had only eaten a few minutes when they began to sicken, aud in less than twenty minutes they were dead. He had previously lost wo animals, but was at a loss to know the cause, and as they had likewise fed on this sorghum, the sudden death of he two cows convinced him that it might be the sorghum.

This defect, how ever, could not be made a subterfuge for liberating common thieves. It is a loophole only for high class defaulters. Bee. A Strang lutrndrr. East Saturday evening at about seven o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Dill, who reside on Locust street, be tween Ninth and Tenth, locked up their house and came down town, re maining away some two hours. Upon returning, Mr. Dill unlocked the front door and Mrs. Dill entered the house first. Suddenly Mr. Dill was startled by hearing his wife scream, and rushed inside, cailing for help, in time to catch her as she struggled free from the grasp of a strange man in the room. The fellow dashed out of the house and soon disappeared in the darkness. Some of the neighbors mis took the outcry for help, and turned in a fire alarm. Two hose carts were soon oh the way to the home of Mr. pill, but were stopped out on Chicago avenue, whep the true state of affairs was learned. Nothing was disturbed in the house and it is presumed that the intruder had only just entered the house for the purpose of stealing some thing when he was interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Dill and wife. In try ing to escape from the house in the darkness the man probably ran into Mrs. Dill, who was not injured, but was badly frightened. Dr. Dunn, of baled hay fame, is the envy of all farmers around Havelock on account of the magnificant appear ance of his crops. The doctor gave up hay and corn last spring and gave his attention to hemp. He now has 320 acres of green and sturdy plants, some of them nearly ten feet high. In two weeks he will begin harvesting the crop, and soon after this his new mill will be converting the fibre into tow. The crop was cut a little short by dry weather, but it is still worth more than a full crop of corn. Dr. Dunn says that he will plant 1,000 acres next season, as be is more than pleased with the work of the first season, and is in the industry to stay. Lincoln Journal. The jobbers of this state are consid ering a proposition to make a special exhibit at the state fair. This would be an innovation of mutual advantage to the fair and to the exhibitors. It is to be hoped the jobbers will carry out the project. The California commanderv of the Knights Templar, which left that city Sunday morning for the big con clave at Boston, evidently are going to have a good time enroute. There were sixty members in the com mandery, and they carried 22,000 bot ties of wine and a car load of fruit. Andrew Erickson, who resides near Nehawka, where they claim not to sell "booze," came to the city last evening and after tilling up with coffin varnish fell into the arms of the police. This morning Judge Aird gave him $1 and costs on his promise to go home and do it no more. Nebraska City News. Jim Corbett, the "pug" was married Thursday at Asbuiy Paik, N. J., to Jesse Taylor, formerly of Omaha. The Taylor woman, or Vera Stanwood as she was better known, figured as co respondent in the recent Corbett di- vorsesuit, which was won by Mrs. Ollie Corbett. It would have been il legal for the pair io marry in New York for the decree of divorce made in that state barred the pugilist from marrying in the lifetime of his first wife. Legal authorities say that they would not be recognized as man and wife while living in New York. In the marriage certificate the residence of both parties is given as Asbury Park.

He jumped onto the city scales down there aud pulled out a revolver and was using the scales as a target when Sher iff Eikenbary, who was present, ar rested the man. One of the bullets narrowly missed the crowd that was standing near by. Kennedy was taken before Justice Smith aud taxed five dollars and costs for his hilarity.

Personal note: After having had an extended vacation, paid for by funds furnished by the state, Mr. W. W. Taylor has returned to Suith Dakota to devote five years of steady service to the state. Mrs. W. B. Shyrock was a pleasant caller at the Courier office Wednesday morning. She came in to convince herself that she had not forgot the art of setting type, and picking up a stick demonstrated the fact that a thing once properly learned is not easily for gotten. Although it has been over fourteen years since she worked at the case, sue set type with remarkable rapidity. She learned the printers' trade when a girl in the Daily Herald office in Cleveland, O., her father, Mr. Valentine (now deceased), having the "ad" case on the Herald at the same time.

A Prominent Wholesale (irucer of Omaha N'eb., Write: To the afflicted: Several years ago I discovered a slight falling and bleedingof the lower bowel which increased and became very distressing. I made inquiry as to the nature of the disease and learned that I bad a somewhat aggravated case of Hemorrhoids or Piles. Was told of several remedies and used them as di rected, obtaining thereby some tem porary relief. Not being satisfied with such slight relief I cast about for a per manent cure; when a friend directed the use of the famous Magnet Pile Killer. I used it. Immediate relief from pain followed, and soon a com plete cure was affected. Very respectfully, Oscar Allen. For sale by Gering & Co.
