There was a car load of cattle unload
ed here a few days ago , shipped from
Iowa. Ten head of them had died on
the car.
A German family moved into our
town , last week , "with two children very
low w'ith diphtheria. One of them died
Monday and the .other is not expected
to live.
We have to-day lost one of our best
families. Last week , Mr. Gr. A. Hunter
sold his farm , and on Monday he sold
his household' goods at public sale , and
his cattle at private sale to T. B. Babcock -
cock of McCook. 'Mr. Hunter and
family left on the east-bound "cannon
ball" this afternoon. There was a large
crowd gathered at the depot , with the
Indianola' Cornet Band , to see them off.
We regret to loose so good -a family
from our town.
As announced , last Saturday was the
day for the Gr. A. B . Dinner , which was
a grand success. About 500 persons
ate dinner in the hall , and after dinner
our post commander announced that we
would have a speech from our fellow-
townsman Major Criswell , but the Ma
jor failed to respond. The commander
next called upon Col. B. M. Snavely
who responded with one of his stirring ,
patriotic speeches. H. M. Ashmore
-.made a short speech on the remembrance
of the commencement of the war and in
memory of the dead soldiers. Dr. Shaw
.made a good speech , after which Pap
Kilgore was court-martialed for stealing
hard tack , and was drumed .out of the %
hall. We had splendid music by Col-
vins' Glee Club and our Brass Band
did well.

The dance a't Capt. Holmes' house ,
Friday night , under the management of
3Ir. Webb , passed off pleasantly , except
that some young "brilliant , " who is pre
paring himself for a.course at Lincoln ,
saw fit to mutilate a new saddle belong
ing to Billie Pryor.
A few weeks ago while attending a
prayer meeting at Squire Williams ,
Charlie Newman had the sinch straps
cut from his saddle. The boys are just
ly indignant and if they succeed in "lo
cating" the guilty party he may find
some other climate more conducive to
general health and physical beauty than
this. JOSIE.
A GANG of know nothings at Stough
ton , Webster county , wrecked the inter
ior of a church there , recently , and threw
tht books in the Sunday school library
out the windows. The vandals deserve
a permanent 4'sit" in the penitentiary.
The Omaha Bee
paste-and-scissor-
cditor is very pt in misquoting the
"country press. " By reference to a
state map he will see that Stoughton is
ia mile or two further west than Webster

A DESCENDANT of Mohammed is
publishing a "paper in Paris in the in
terest of El Mahdi , and against the En
glish. Its editor has lived a checkered
life. He was a participator in the Se
poy rebellion and escaping to Constan-
tiuoplo was thenceexpelled for sedition-
Then he went to Egypt , and Chenf
Pasha appointed him Prof , of History
in the Cairo University. His paper is
intended to be circulated among the
Mohammedan people in Asia an'd Africa.
He once had El Mahdi as his pupil.
AUSTRIA is a very comfortable coun
try for publishers of political newspapers
papers/ Every newspaper appearing
more than twice a month has to deposit
caution-money if politics are treated or
mentioned. For Vienna and surround
ings this deposit is fixed at $9.000 } for
towns of GO,000 inhabitants , at $8,000 ;
for towns of 30,000 inhabitants , at
$2,000 , and for all other places at $1-
000 ; but papers only appearing three
times a week need only pay half the
amount.
GOVERNOR IRWIN , of Idaho , con
tinues the eccentricity of returning his
salary to the.treasury department. He
has just returned $650 , being the amount
of his salary for the quarter ending De
cember 31. This makes the third quar
ter's salary that he has sent back to the
treasury department. The only expla
nation of his conduct is that being un
able to attend to his duties he cannot
conscientiously accept the salary.
A NEGRO said to be 121 years old has
iust died in Canada. He threw great ,
doubt over his genuineness by claiming'
a. personal acquaintance with George
Washington. In this connection it-mus
be said'to the credit of a Mexican wo
man , who died in California last year a
the alleged age of 132 , that she had
never heard of the Father of his Coun
try Topics.
SOME men become famous by "happy
hits. " Congressman florr became fa
mous by asserting in one of his speeches
that "the south had better raise more
hogs and less hell. " He is now regard
ed as one of the wittiest speakers in
Congress. Congressman Hatch , the oth
er day , made a somewhat similar hit
when he said that what the Democratic
party wanted was a few funerals.
THE Lincoln Journal is a little pre

The Catholic church at Indianola has
been dedicated with the usual cere

Owing to the inability of Bishop Con

IN almost every respect "Nebraska is
prospering beyond precedent. Immi

pouring in upon us from every direction.
It won't be long before every available
acre of tillable Jand in the state is under
the plow- and every ranche stocked up
in first-class style. The days of cheap
land and poor stock have gone by.
A BILL has been introduced and pass
