MBEASKA. Noway Notes About Nebraska PI ioo0 niul People. W. F. Spence , a former Kearney citi zen , was killed in an Iowa town while resisting arrest John Lyell of Johnson county sold $183 worth of melons from one acre of ground this season. C. C. Beckwith of Logan county raised a pumpkin weighing eighty-six pounds , enough material for 334 pies. Adams county farmers are storing grain in the elevators at Hastings and will leave it there till prices go up a notch or two. J. H. Owen , aged sixteen , of York , was seriously injured by a horse falling on him , and may not recover. At the Grand Island sugar factory , 350 tons of beets are converted into pulp every twenty-four hours. Belle Acton , a yearling filly , owned by E. D. Gould of Fullerton has smashed the pacing record by going a mile in 2:20. Travelling grocerymen are out among the farmers of Gage county spreading moral and financial ruin in every direction. Sneak thieves broke into the resi dence of W. E. Adams of Hastings and carried off a diamond ring and several dollars in cold , relentless cash. Ed and Erastus Strain of Kearney are in durance vile on the charge ol stealing sacks. They skipped the town , but wore overtaken at Kenesaw. Joseph and Henry Lewis of Harrisburg - burg were arrested on suspicion for horse stealing , but speedily turned loose , as there was no evidence against them. The Bayard postmaster is accused by the local press of closing the office at the most umseemly hours , greatly to the detriment of the patrons and public morals. West Point has two able-bodied sluggers , who recently fought for a small purse. The mill ended in the ninth round with Slugger Crawford asleep under the ropes. The Fremont street car company howls because the city council decreed that the sewer mains should be laid in the center of the streets , which wil ] necessitate the tearing up the tracks. The citizens of Knox county have organized themselves into a committee of the whole for the purpose of hang ing ten or a dozen cattle thieves when that golden opportunity presents itself. The present term of district court in Douglas county has developed great gobs of domestic infelicity. No less than 197 divorce cases are on the docket. All of which furnishes food for serious reflection , and leads to the conclusion that in Douglas county mar riage is something of a failure. Mrs. Fainting , living on a farm in Buffalo county , has brought suit against Ernest Gumprecht and John F. Langan , claiming damages in the sum of $5,000. Two years ago these gen tlemen sold her husband red liquor , which he drank and then drank some more , and finally wandered off into a corn field and died. Rudolph Baker was a Norfolk baker and he had a good trade and inviting prospects for the future. Six weeks ago he married Minnie Listerkron. Today he is gone no one knows where. His wife is not heart-broken over his departure , only that he carried away a sum of money that she had loaned him without interest. Mrs. Elizabeth Clark , aged ninety- seven years , died at Brownville last Monday. She was born in Charlotte , Va. , April 3 , 1795. A young German arrived in Nor folk recently who left Hamburg September 5 , in the midst of the chol era plague. At New York he was held seven days in quarantine and passed rigid health examinations in Chicago and Omaha , and he ought by this time to be reasonably free from disease. Six others came with him , four of whom stopped at Flatte Center and two went on to Creighton. H. C. Cole of Norfolk raised a sugar beet that measured thirty-nine inches in length. The time seems near at hand when the Nebraska beet contain ing less than a barrel of saccinfiten matter will be thrown out as uhar for use. Mrs. J. E. Wilson of Surprise went cross lots to the store after some eggs. A rattlesnake lying near the path came near fastening its cruel fangs upon her , but like a brave woman she neither screamed nor fainted , but fulfilled the scripture policy that the heel of a wom an shall bruise the serpent's head. The R. & M. people are building a new depot at Seward. Beatrice boasts the enrollment of 1,850 pupils in the public schools. Seward county has concluded to make an exhibit atjthe world's fair. J. L. Armstrong , an esteemed citi zen and prominent business man of Dorchester , was found lying in the road near Fleasant Hill.
