During the "bombardment of Fort Matanzas" at Syracuse, Tom Duron had his thumb and two fore-Angers on his right hand badly lacerated by u small firecracker. Perry Black, an 18-year-old son of J. P. Black, living eight miles north of North Bead, met with a serious ac cident. While riding his wheel down a steep hill the wheel struck Borne ob ject In the road and threw him. He ruptured u blood vessel, which result ed In his death. Mr. 1. A. Baker of York, who has a son witn the First Nebraska, has succeeded in getting the War depart ment to issue an order that in case of the death of any of Nebraska’s sold dier boys on board ship while coming home they will not he buried ut sea, but their bodies embalmed and taken to their homes.

The recent school census of Hast ings shows that there Is an Increase of over 300 children of school age In this city over that of last year. At the close of Hastings’ public schools every school and every room was crowded, besides extra rooms were se cured In the business portion of the city and converted Into public schools. It is ulniost certain that the great Increase of children of school age in that city will call for the erection of i another large school building before long. By the looks of things Osceola will lie out of an open saloon for this year, though at the spring election the matter of licensing saloons was sub mitted to a vote and there was a ma jority in favor of license and a board elected favorable to carrying out the wish of the voters.

The heavy rainfall of the last few weeks has been very favorable for small grain. Wheat has improved In condi tion. Winter wheat has filled well, and, while the crop Is small, the qual ity Is good; harvesting hua com menced In southern eounties. Oats have continued to Improve, and now promise rather more than an avciage crop. Corn has grown very rapidly during the week, and cultivation has made good progress In moBt counties. Considerable corn has been laid by In southern eounties free of weeds nnd In unusually promising condition. Corn in all parts ot the state Is in excep tionally good condition. ('mivlcr* Liberated. Lincoln Journal: The governor has issued Fourth of July pardons to two convicts, Andrew Jackson of Lancaster county and Ole Anderson of Brown county. The law permits the governor to pardon two convicts on the Fourth of July. In this case the pardons are really commutations of sentence with civil rights restored. Andrew Jackson is a colored man who was serving a sentence of thirty years for murder. He waa received at the penitentiary November 17, 1889. He was first in for burglary, but while serving time killed a fellow convict. He was with a force of men working in the penitentiary foundry and while thus engaged a fellow workman inten tionally or accidentally poured 6ome melted metal in his shoe. Jackson struck the fellow on the head with an iron tool he had in his hand and the blow caused death. For several years Jackson was insane or feigned insan ity and was kept in a cell under the hospital. On several occasions he was severely punished by wardens, being confined in the dark hole and other wise punished for unruly conduct. Warden I.eidigh cowed him and prac tically made him confess that he had feigned insanity. After that Warden I.eidigh had no further trouble with him. Ole Anderson was received at the penitentiary February 20, 1889. He was convicted of murdering his wife and was sentenced, for life. His wife got after him with a broomstick and while in a passion he killed her. His sen tence was commuted to fifteen years, one month and eight days. Prom this is deducted good time amounting to fifty-five months and thirteen days. Jackson's sentence was commuted to seventeen years, five months and eleven days, from which good time Is alRo deducted. Both convicts will bo liberated today. Murks an<l Ilriintls.
