John E. Russell is to be credited with
a new simile. He says he is feeling as
gay as a girl in a shirt waist. Happy
thought !
In St. Louis a woman is advertlsing
for a pair of lost bloomers. We have
seen a number of bloomers loose in this
vicinity.
Spain ought to send calomel and quinine -

Two men with a banjo and a mandolin -

Six boys who played ghost in the
cemetery at Carlton , Minn. , were caught
in the act and fined $10 each. Had they
not defaced the tombstones and tampered -

would undoubtedly have been over-
looked.
Three secret service men are now
guarding Gray Gables from tramps and
peddlers. They are each on duty eight
hours out of the twenty-four. . They
I don't keep dogs , but can wing tramps
easily at sixty rods.
So far as the most searching inquiries
go , it appears that only two women
wear bloomers on bicycles in Washing-
ton. The men who are apt to know
about such things report but two women
who have so far braved the eyes of the
public with the bloomer costume. As a
matter of fact , if women are going to
discard skirts , why not adopt knickerbockers -
bockers ? They are more natty , and
look as if the women using them were
not half afraid.
Emily Soldene , who will be remenii
bered as an exponent of English blonde
burlesque and of comic opera years
ago , has been heard from again in an
interview. She has no use for the new
woman , but wants "the old-fashioned
woman , who is sweet and gentle. " The
bloomer she regards as the most
hideous garment of the day : , and how a
I
pretty woman can Destroy her charms
by wearing bloomers she cannot , see. i
Emily , it will be recalled , did not wear I
much of anything , except the patience' '
of her audiences.

Statistics of circulation show decreases -
creases both for the month of June and
the year ending therewith. The net
decrease in June amounted to $2,047-
588 , while for the year the decrease
amounted to nearly $60,000,000. The i
total circulation on July 1st this year
amounted to $1,604,131,968 , as compared -
pared with $1,664,061,232 on July 1st ,

amounted to $480,275,057 , which represented -
sented a decrease of nearly $17,600,000
as compared with the corresponding pe
riod last year. The gold coin in the
treasury , on the other hand , showed an
increase of a little over $1,500,000
as compared with a year ago , the
amount in the treasury on July 1st being -
ing $99,147,914. The money of all
kinds in the treasury showed an increase -

The. lessons of history teach us that
the Chinese can only be brought to
terms by a show of force. Their word
is lightly given and lightly broken.
They promised to investigatethe murders -
ders at Ku Cheng , but now the American -
can and English consuls sent with the
commission to see to it that the inquiry
was searching have been excluded.
Left to the Chinese prefect and his
auxiliaries , the investigation will be as
farcical as its predecessors. A pretense
of punishing the criminals will be made
and the agents of the empire at Washington -
ington and the European capitals will
be commissioned to deceive the offended
countrymen of the victims. The
course of Sir Halliday Macartney , coun-
cillor of the Chinese legation at London -
don , is proof enough that only 'ocular
demonstration is reliable in dealing
with Chinese envoys or their Caucasian
mouthpieces. The incautiousness of the
missionaries in invading China is not
a plea in abatement. They are - American -
ican citizens , under the protection of
the flag whenever and wherever found.
American gunboats are now cruising in
Chinese waters. The appearance of
one of them , cleared for action , in a
Chinese port would do more to compel
proper punishment of the murderers
and relief for the frightened Americans

Former Nebraska Woman Killed.
At Denver , CoL , in jealous rage Wm.
Rose , a carpenter , left his work , purchased -
chased a revolver and repaired to the
home of Mrs Phil Kuhn , on South
Thirteenth street , determined to compel -
pel her to live with him or else die
with him. In the presence of her
adopted child , upon her refusal to go
with him , Rose fired four times as she
was attempting to escape from the
room , three bullets taking effect in
her back. Rose left the house , but
finding that a number of people were
in pursuit he turned the revolver to
his throat and sent a bullet into his
head. The woman was fatally injured
but Rose will recover. Both remained
conscious , the woman remorseful and
penitent , the man defiant. The woman -
man has a mother and sister living at
York , this state.
Treated Like a Beast.
: This community , says a Fullerton dispatch -
patch , is greatly excited over a case of
revolting cruelty brought to light by
Sheriff Snyder. For several years it
has been known that a family named
Knapik , in the Polish colony. had an
idiotic boy , and lately reports of their
ill treatment of the unfortunate one
have been circulated. Investigation by
the sheriff developed that the boy , who
is also partially paralyzed , has been
kept picketed out like a domestic animal -
mal in an out of the way place during
the day and at night kept in a stable
with the calves and other live stock.
It was also ascertained that he was un-
provided with clothing of any kind
during the summer months , but was allowed -
lowed to go in a state of absolute nudi-
ty. The unfortunate boy was taken
charge of by the authorities and his
parents will be prosecuted ,
r
Antelope - rrf s : A half' .
Among the Nebraska counties which
have become interested in the raising
of alfalfa is Antelope. For several
years more or less of it has been raised ,
i
principally in small patches and more
as an experiment than as a practical
food supply for stock. The results of
these experiments were so favorable
that the raising of it on a more extensive -
tensive scale has been entered upon.
Last season was a most trying one on
grasses and the tame meadows of the
ordinary , grasses either died entirely
during the summer and winter or were
so badly damaged that they were of
very little use for hay purposes this
season. Alfalfa , on the contrary , sustained -
tained very little , if any damage , and
this year has been a bountiful crop.
Notable as showing the possibilities of
the grass is the result obtained by
Ifuirnan & Rollins on their ranch in
the Elkhora bottoms. From land which
was seeded this spring they have already -
ready cut one hay crop which averaged
a ton , and there is another cutting
ready which will yield fully as mutt ;
more. Others whose land ivas seeded
in previous years have already cut to
crops and will get a thirst before the
season is over ,
Agent Ordered to Get Ont.
Valentine dispatch : Reports from
Rosebud agency are that Major Wright ,
tnited States Indian agent , together
with his white employes , has been ordered -
dered from the reservation , the conditions -
tions being that they will be allowed
twenty days in which to go without
molestation.
It appears that Chief Crow Dog , who
killed Spotted Tail in 1SS1 , took with
him a lot of young men and left the
reservation in July without asking the
agent's permission. On his return a
few days ago Major Wright had him
confined.
This incited the Indians and a council -
cil with the agent was demanded , looking -
ing to his re'ease. The council was refused -
fused and Hollow horn hear , speaking -
ing for themalcontents , demandeethat
the agent quit the reservation.
Nebraska s Aid Is Assured.
,
v. B. Slosson of Ilouston , Texas ,
called on Governor Holcomb in relation
to the Galveston deep water project ,
and the governor stated in substance :
"Nebraska is deeply interested in the
western states conference to be held at
Topeka October 1. and you can rely
upon a full representation. 1 shall endeavor -
deavor to accompany the delegation
and hope that the securing of deep
water at Galveston will be appropriately -
ly celebrated. It is the natural point
of shipment for the products of Nebraska -
braska farmers and manufacturers.
Practically half the distance from Nebraska -
braska to New York is saved , and it
means more money for wheat and corn
and the products of the packing houses
and the mills of the state. The people
of Nebraska arc fully alive to this subject -
ject , and -it is safe to predict that it
will not-be-long before Nebraska products -
ducts will betaken southward instead
of eastward to find a market. We confidently -
fidently look forward to a representation -
tion of Nebraskans and Nebraska's
products-at the Inter-American exposition -
tion at Galveston in 1597. "

CONDITION OF FRUIT.
What the September Government Report -
port Shows.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 1G.-The September -
ber government report on time condition -
dition of fruit says : Both apples and
peaches show slight improvement ,
drought has caused dropping and the
too rapid maturity of apples , but the
damage has not been sufficient to
alter the generalaverage for the coun-
try. The average condition of apples is
now 72 , and of peaches 84.1. Grapes
range from one-half to a full crop in
the Eastern and Middle States , about
three-fourths of the normal product
being reported from New York. Figures -
ures are generally high in the South.
About three-fourths the usual product
is indicated for Kansas and Nebraska.
In the mountain and Pacific states
conditions are generally high. Improvement -
provement is noted in the latter region -
gion except in California , where a decline -
cline of 12 points is reported. The de-
partment's California agent reported
the quality of the crop fully up to the
average , but the quantity in many
sections fromn 13 to 25 per cent short.

WEST POINT , Neb. , Sept. 1G.-Mrs.
Anna Bellah of Liberty , Mo. , of fraud
fame , is making the rounds of the
smaller towns of Nebraska , pretending -

state and to have run out of cash
through a delay. She claims to be
preparing to meet her husband at Du-
buque. Ia. , and , to want just
enough money to take her there.
In each case she presents a
check which she says her husband
has signed in case she should "run out
of funds. " The check is on the Market -
ket Street National bank , Philadelphia -
phia , Pa. . and signed "Joseph Bellah. "
On arriving at a town she sends for a
clergyman-Congregational if there. is
one-because her "husband" is a member -
ber of Dr. Richards' church in Phila-
delphia. He is then asked to identity
and indorse the check for her , which
he usually does. Scores of these ho-
gus checks have been protested by the
above bank and they are receiving

NO SETBACKS EXPECTED.
The Reduced Estimates of Crops Do
Not Affect Business.
NEW YORE , Sept. lti.-R. G. Dun
Co's trade review says : A slight setback -
back , which may mean much or nothing -
ing , accordingto the final outcome of
the crops , is not unexpected at this
season. If the government crop no-
ports were correct the situation would
not be encouraging. But not much
confidence is placed in the reduced
estimate of corn , none at all in the
estimate of wheat , and even the most
enthusiastic bulls do not think it
worth while to quote the government
report as to cotton.
The fact is that we are beginning to
market not far from 2,200,000,00 (
bushels of corn though about 500,000-
000 bushels will be moved front the
counties where it is grown ; about
150,000,000 bushels of wheat , of which
the farmers are very unwisely holding
bath a large proportion. and about
7.00,000 bales of cotton , if the latter
indieations are not erroneous , as they
may be , to add to the stocks carried
over.
The wheat crop is evidently larger
than the department has estimated ,
though nobody knows how much
larger , and is coming forward with
more encotraging rapidity , no less
than 5,773,173 bushels having been received -
ceived at Western ports against 5,446-
001 bushels for the same week last
year from a much larger crop. The
farmers have undoubtedly been keeping -
ing back wheat under an agreement
among themselves. It does not seem
a profitable operation for them. Exports -
ports from the Atlantic ports for the'
two weeks of September have been
2,417,572 bushels ( flour included )
against 510,926 ; ; bushels last year.
The price declined sharply , about 2
cents per bushel , with little indication
of recovery. The price of corn has
also yielded with a strong prospect of
the largest crop ever grOWII , and at 38
coats at New York a large proportion
of the crop wilt be of little profit to
farmers.
THE ENCAMPMENT ENDED.
