Over 100 wagon loads were received the first day. The number of employes at tba factory will be greatly increased in the next few dsya The factory has been in operation for the last two week in the manufacture of sugar from some of the syrup remaining over from last year. Probably never in the history of Ne braska, says the Davenport Journal, has a larger acreage of corn, snd bet ter prospect for the crop, been wit nessed than can now be seen in the South Platte country, the garden spot »f the agricultural west. Many fields it corn in this vicinitywlll yield 60 to 75 bushels per acre, and the conserva tive farmers put the average yield at 40 bushels per acre. Henry Webber’s prospects for a term in the penitentiary are decidedly good. He was arrested at Nebraska City on the charge of disposing of mortgaged property, and in default of ball he was sent to jail. On his person wss found a gold qhain and locket and s diamond ring. Mrs. H. W. Hoevath reported to the officers that her house had been broken into and robbed and identified the property as hers.

A fatality occurred on the Platte valley, north of Oaceola, that ia espec ially shocking. A threshing crew had been at Mr. Contuer's all day,and when getting ready to move at night the en gineer, August Gaddeka, started to back up to couple onto the separator. Contuer's 7-year-old boy had crawled under the engine to hunt for mice, and when the engine started back it ran over his head, crushing it to a pulp. Last week was a good one at the South Omaha atock yards, as the fol lowing record of receipts will show; Cattle, 19,742 head, a slight increase over the week before, snd an increase of 3,000 over the corresponding week in 1895. The supply of sheep was lib eral all the week and as many lambs were received, the dipping pens were in constant use. Total receipts for the wrek, 17,628, against 6,972 last week, and 11.700 a year ago Thn notrin cron, which is one of growing extent and importance in the locality about North Loup, is now be ing harvested, and farmers report that it is much more promising than was supposed a few Wfcelts ago. While it is aot at all probable thet the crop will yield the quantity per acre that was harvested last season, the acreage is larger and if the quality be good, as is now reported by those who have begun to gather the crop, the total yield may e*$ed teal of )*»t yelr. The Nebraska irrigation fair this month, at North Platte, la a good sam ple of western enterprise. A large res ervoir has been constructed within the fair grounds containing many acres, surrounding which the pumping ma chinery will be erected and put into operation showing by actual test the merits of the various machines. Ma chinery for building and constructing ditches will be in operation showing how the canals arc made. Irrigated farms will be opened up for the inspec tion of visitors, showing how the wa ter is taken from the canal to the lat erals and from them to the cultivated fields. It will be a matter of interest to all wheelmen throughout the state, to know that an Omaha man made a new state record for the half-mile uupaced, last week. The new record was made by llert Potter, who rode the distance in 1:03, bettering the former record by one and two-fifths seconds, in being 1:04 2-5. The record is official as it was duly sanctioned, despite the fact that the trial was a private qne.
