F. M. KIMMELL, Acting Chairman. McCook, Neb., Sept. 4th, 1893. White winged peace does not prevail to an alarming extent among the Democrats of Gage county, judging from the recent hilarious convention. The cigarette achieved fame, Monday, by being the innocent cause of the destruction of a mill ion dollars worth of property in St. Joseph. Train robbing received a se rious set-back down in Missouri, Monday. Two of the robbers were killed and the rest of the gang were captured. Hoke Smith is hauling in his horns on his pension policy, and has ordered that suspension cease. Hoke has heard the rumbling and is trying to get off the track before the engine passes. Some farmers in Berkshire coun ty, Mass., where a few barns wqre struck by lightning during recent storms, have resolved that it is un safe to put hay in the barn under a democratic administration, and have consequently stacked it. Joseph E. Frick, whom the Republicans of Dodge county will present to the Republican state convention as their choice for su preme judge, is receiving a splen did endorsement from the Fre mont Tribune, his home paper. Kaiser Wilhelm’s reconcili ation with Prince Bismarck evi dently had a string tied to it. Al ready it is positively declared that the young ruler has not forgiven and does not propose to forgive the aged ex-ohancellor for attacks on him in speeches and interviews. It would seem to an ordinary mortal that the pension bureau has enough to do in disposing of the 700 odd thousand pending pen sion claims without calling upon the men who are now legitimately drawing pensions to show why their names should not be dropped from the rolls. It has been determined by the Executive committee of the World’s Fair not to prolong the exhibition beyond the time fixed for the expi ration by Congress. That the great show at Chicago will be closed on the 31sl of October. There are many valid objections to keeping it open beyond that period. The various buildings are not furnished with the facili ties of heating, and without this provision they would not be com fortable in the late fall. It could hardly be expected that the patron age after the decline of autumn would justify the expense of oper ating the Fair, and the action of the directors, in view of all the circumstances, is believed to be wise and judicious.

Stiles indulged in a flying visit to Denver, Monday afternoon, arriving home on 6, Tuesday. Assistant Superintendent Highland was at western division headquarters, last evening, on railroad business. Dispatcher Simmons arrived home, yesterday, from his world’s fair visit. The family is visiting a few days in Om aha on their way back. Freight train 76 ran into the rear end of8oatRobb station, Colorado, yester day morning, smashing up the way car of 76’s train and damaging 8o’s engine badly. Brakeman W. C. Pope of our city received a broken arm in the collis ion and traffic was delayed a number of hours, the morning passenger not reach ing here until noon. Tim Tierney, who began service with the Burlington & Missouri railroad as tracklayer in 1856, has been in the em ploy of the company every since. He is now over 80 years old, and is a flagman at Denver. He says that he might have been president of the road by this time if he had had a better education to be gin with. All the conductors on the B. & M. and C.,B. & Q. systems have been order ed to adopt the same uniform and all badges on caps will read in the future, “Conductor, Burlington Route.” The brakeman’s cap bears also the “Burling ton Route.” It is thought that in a short time all stationary and cars on the entire system will bear the same name, thus doing away with the separate names in each system.

Miss Cory’s opening of fall and winter millinery, Wednesday of this week, was the occasion of a goodly outpouring of the gentler sex of the city. Miss Cory has established herself in the Drysdale building, just north of the Commercial hotel. Her entire stock of millinery is new and in it are to be found the latest novelties, the most fashionable shapes and colors of the season in profusion. Everything bears the stamp of the ex quisite taste of Miss Cory, who has an established reputation in that line in our midst. _ On Wednesday Messrs. L. Lowman & Son held their annual fall and winter opening in the millinery department. As usual there was a large and apprecia tive attendance of the ladies of the city.
